House and, at the Clerk's desk, delivered the following message:


[[Page 11]]


  Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Members of the 103rd Congress, my fellow 
Americans:
  I am not at all sure what speech is in the teleprompter tonight, but I 
hope we can talk about the State of the Union.
  I ask you to begin by recalling the memory of the giant who presided 
over this chamber with such force and grace. Tip O'Neill liked to call 
himself a man of the House, and he surely was that. But even more, he 
was a man of the people, a bricklayer's son who helped build the great 
American middle class. Tip O'Neill never forgot who he was, where he 
came from, or who sent him here.
  Tonight, he is smiling down on us for the first time from the Lord's 
gallery. But in his honor, may we too always remember who we are, where 
we come from, and who sent us here.
  If we do that, we will return over and over again to the principle 
that if we simply give ordinary people equal opportunity, quality 
education, and a fair shot at the American dream, they will do 
extraordinary things.
  We gather tonight in a world of changes, so profound and rapid that 
all nations are tested. Our American heritage has always been to master 
such change, to use it to expand opportunity at home, and our 
leadership abroad.
  But for too long, and in too many ways, that heritage was abandoned, 
and our country drifted.
  For thirty years, family life in America has been breaking down. For 
twenty years, the wages of working families have been stagnant, or 
declining. For twelve years of trickle-down economics, we built a false 
prosperity on a hollow base as our national debt quadrupled. From 1989 
to 1992, we experienced the slowest growth in a half century.
  For too many families, even when both parents are working, the 
American dream has been slipping away.
  In 1992, the American people demanded that we change. A year ago I 
asked all of you to join me in accepting responsibilities for the 
future of our country. Well, we did. We replaced drift and deadlock 
with renewal and reform. And I want to thank every one of you here who 
heard the American people, broke gridlock, who gave them the most 
successful teamwork between a President and a Congress in thirty years.
  This Congress produced a budget that cut the deficit by half a 
trillion dollars, cut spending and raised income taxes only on the very 
wealthiest Americans. This Congress produced tax relief for millions of 
low income workers to reward work over welfare. It produced NAFTA. It 
produced the Brady bill, now the Brady law. and thank you, Jim Brady, 
for being here, and God bless you, sir.
  This Congress produced tax cuts to reduce the taxes of nine out of 
ten small businesses who use the money to invest more and create more 
jobs. It produced more research and treatment for AIDS, more childhood 
immunizations, more support for women's health research, for affordable 
college loans for the middle class, a new national service program for 
those who want to give something back to their country and their 
communities for higher education. A dramatic increase in high-tech 
investments to move us from a defense to a domestic high-tech economy.
  This Congress produced a new law, the motor voter bill, to help 
millions of people register to vote. It produced family and medical 
leave. All passed, all signed into law, with not one single veto. These 
accomplishments were all commitments I made when I sought this office, 
and, in fairness, they all had to be passed by you and this Congress. 
But I am persuaded that the real credit belongs to the people who sent 
us here, who pay our salaries, who hold our feet to the fire.
  But what we do here is really beginning to change lives. Let me just 
give you one example. I will never forget what the family and medical 
leave law meant to just one father I met early one Sunday morning in 
the White House. It was unusual to see a family there touring early 
Sunday morning, but he had his wife and his three children there, one 
of them in a wheelchair.
  I came up, and after we had our picture taken and had a little visit, 
I was walking off and that man grabbed me by the arm and said, Mr. 
President, ``Let me tell you something. My little girl here is 
desperately ill. She is probably not going to make it. But because of 
the family leave law, I was able to take time off to spend with her, 
the most important time I ever spent in my life, without losing my job 
and hurting the rest of my family.
  ``It means more to me than I will ever be able to say. Don't you 
people up here ever think what you do doesn't make a difference. It 
does.''
  Though we are making a difference, our work has just begun. Many 
Americans still haven't felt the impact of what we have done. The 
recovery still hasn't touched every community or created enough jobs. 
Incomes are still stagnant. There is still too much violence and not 
enough hope in too many places. Abroad, the young democracies we are 
strongly supporting still face very difficult times and look to us for 
leadership.
  And so, tonight, let us resolve to continue the journey of renewal, 
to create more and better jobs, to guarantee health security for all, 
to reward work over welfare, to promote democracy abroad, and to begin 
to reclaim our streets from violent crime and drugs and gangs, to renew 
our own American community.
  Last year we began to put our House in order by tackling the budget 
deficit that was driving us toward bankruptcy. We cut $255 billion in 
spending, including entitlements, and over 340 separate budget items. 
We froze domestic spending, and used honest budget numbers.
  Led by the Vice President, we launched a campaign to reinvent 
government. We cut staff, cut perks, even trimmed the fleet of federal 
limousines. After years of leaders whose rhetoric attacked bureaucracy, 
but whose actions expanded it, we will actually reduce it by 252 
thousand people over the next five years. By the time we have finished, 
the federal bureaucracy will be at its lowest point in thirty years.
  Because the deficit was so large and because they had benefitted from 
tax cuts in the 1980's, we did ask the wealthiest Americans to pay more 
to reduce the deficit. So on April the 15th, the American people will 
discover the truth about what we did last year on taxes. Only the top--
listen, the top 1.2 percent of Americans, as I said all along, will pay 
higher income tax rates. Let me repeat, only the wealthiest 1.2 percent 
of Americans will face higher income tax rates, and no one else will, 
and that is the truth.
  Of course, there were, as there always are in politics, naysayers who 
said this plan won't work. But they were wrong. When I became 
President, the experts predicted that next year's deficit would be $300 
billion. But because we acted, those same people now say the deficit is 
going to be under $180 billion, forty percent lower than was previously 
predicted.
  Our economic program has helped to produce the lowest core inflation 
rate and the lowest interest rates in twenty years. And because those 
interest rates are down, business investment in equipment is growing at 
seven times the rate of the previous four years. Auto sales are way up, 
home sales at a record high. Millions of Americans have refinanced 
their homes, and our economy has produced 1.6 million private sector 
jobs in 1993, more than were created in the previous four years 
combined. The people who supported this economic plan should be proud 
of its early results. Proud. But everyone in this Chamber should know 
and acknowledge that there is more to do.
  Next month, I will send you one of the toughest budgets ever 
presented to Congress. It will cut spending in more than 300 programs, 
eliminate 100 domestic programs, and reforms the way in which 
government buys goods and services. This year we must again make the 
hard choices to live within the hard spending ceilings we have set. We 
must do it. We have proved we can bring the deficit down without 
choking off recovery, without punishing seniors or the middle class, 
and without putting our national security at risk. If you will stick 
with this plan, we will post three consecutive years of declining 
deficits for the first time since Harry Truman lived in the White 
House, and, once again, the buck stops here.
  Our economic plan also bolsters our strength and our credibility 
around the world. Once we reduced the deficit and put the steel back in 
our competitive edge, the world echoed with the sound

[[Page 12]]

of falling trade barriers. In one year, with NAFTA, with GATT, with our 
efforts in Asia and the national export strategy, we did more to open 
world markets to American products than at any time in the last two 
generations. That means more jobs and rising living standards for the 
American people.
  Low deficits, low inflation, low interest rates, low trade barriers, 
and high investments, these are the building blocks of our recovery. 
But if we want to take full advantage of the opportunities before us in 
the global economy, you all know we must do more.
  As we reduce defense spending, I ask Congress to invest more in the 
technologies of tomorrow. Defense conversion will keep us strong 
militarily and create jobs for our people here at home.
  As we protect our environment, we must invest in the environmental 
technologies of the future which will create jobs. This year we will 
fight for a revitalized Clean Water Act and a Safe Drinking Water Act 
and a reformed Superfund program. And the Vice President is right. We 
must also work with the private sector to connect every classroom, 
every clinic, every library, every hospital in America into a national 
information superhighway by the year 2000. Think of it: Instant access 
to information will increase productivity, will help to educate our 
children; it will provide better medical care; it will create jobs. And 
I call on the Congress to pass legislation to establish that 
information super highway this year.
  As we expand opportunity and create jobs, no one can be left out. We 
must continue to enforce fair lending and fair housing, and all civil 
rights laws, because America will never be complete in its renewal 
until everyone shares in its bounty.
  But we all know, too, we can do all these things: Put our economic 
House in order, expand world trade, target the jobs of the future, 
guarantee equal opportunity. But if we are honest, we will all admit 
that this strategy still cannot work unless we also give our people the 
education, training, and skills they need to seize the opportunities of 
tomorrow.
  We must set tough, world class academic and occupational standards 
for all of our children, and give our teachers and students the tools 
to meet them. Our Goals 2000 proposal will empower individual school 
districts to experiment with ideas like chartering their schools to be 
run by private corporations, or having more public school choice; to do 
whatever they wish to do, as long as we measure every school by one 
high standard: Are our children learning what they need to know to 
compete and win in the global economy. Goals 2000 links world class 
standards to grass roots reforms, and I hope Congress will pass it 
without delay.
  Our school-to-work initiative will, for the first time link schools 
to the world of work, providing at least one year of apprenticeship 
beyond high school. After all, most of the people we are counting on to 
build our economic future won't graduate from college. It's time to 
stop ignoring them and start empowering them.
  We must literally transform our outdated unemployment system into a 
re-employment system. The old unemployment system just sort of kept you 
going while you waited for your old job to come back. We have got to 
have a new system to move people into new and better jobs, because most 
of those old jobs just don't come back. And we know the only way to 
have real job security in the future, to get a good job with a growing 
income, is to have real skills and the ability to learn new ones. So we 
have got to streamline today's patchwork of training programs and make 
them a source of new skills for our people who lose their jobs. Re-
employment, not unemployment, must become the centerpiece of our 
economic renewal. I urge you to pass it in this session of Congress.
  Just as we must transform our unemployment system, so must we also 
revolutionize our welfare system. It doesn't work. It defies our values 
as a nation. If we value work, we can't justify a system that makes 
welfare more attractive than work if people are worried about losing 
their health care.
  If we value responsibility, we can't ignore the $34 billion in child 
support that absent parents ought to be paying to millions of parents 
who are taking care of their children.
  If we value strong families, we cannot perpetuate a system that 
actually penalizes those who stay together. Can you believe that a 
child who has a child gets more money from the government for leaving 
home than for staying home with a parent or a grandparent? That's not 
just bad policy, it is wrong, and we ought to change it.
  I worked on this problem for years before I became President, with 
other governors and with members of Congress of both parties and with 
the previous administration of another party. I worked on it with 
people who are on welfare, lots of them. And I wanted to say something 
to everybody here who cares about this issue: The people who most want 
to change this system are the people who are dependent on it. They want 
to get off welfare, they want to go back to work, they want to do right 
by their kids. I once had a hearing when I was a governor, and I 
brought in people on welfare from all over America who had found their 
way to work. And the woman from my state who testified was asked this 
question. What is the best thing about being off welfare and in a job? 
And without blinking an eye, she looked at 40 governors and she said, 
``When my boy goes to school and they say what does your mother do for 
a living, he can give an answer.''
  These people want a better system, and we ought to give it to them.
  Last year, we began this. We gave the states more power to innovate, 
because we know that a lot of great ideas come from outside Washington. 
And many states are using it.
  Then this Congress took a dramatic step. Instead of taxing people 
with modest incomes into poverty, we helped them to work their way out 
of poverty, by dramatically increasing the earned income tax credit. It 
will lift 15 million working families out of poverty, rewarding work 
over welfare, making it possible for people to be successful workers 
and successful parents. Now, that is real welfare reform.
  But there is more to be done. This spring, I will send you a 
comprehensive welfare reform bill that builds on the Family Support Act 
of 1988 and restores the basic values of work and responsibility.
  We will say to teenagers, if you have a child out of wedlock, we will 
no longer give you a check to set up a separate household. We want 
families to stay together.
  We will say to absent parents who aren't paying child support, if you 
are not providing for your children, we will garnish your wages, we 
will suspend your license, we will track you across state lines, and, 
if necessary, we will make some of you work off what you owe. People 
who bring children into this world cannot and must not just walk away 
from them.
  But to all those who depend on welfare, we should offer ultimately a 
simple compact. We will provide the support, the job training, the 
child care you need for up to two years. But after that, anyone who can 
work must, in the private sector wherever possible, in community 
service, if necessary. That is the only way we will make welfare what 
it ought to be, a second chance, not a way of life.
  Now, I know it will be difficult to tackle welfare reform in 1994 at 
the same time we tackle health care. But, let me point out, I think it 
is inevitable and imperative. It is estimated that one million people 
are on welfare today because it is the only way they can get health 
care coverage for their children. Those who choose to leave welfare for 
jobs without health benefits, and many entry level jobs don't have 
health benefits, find themselves in the incredible position of paying 
taxes that help to pay for health care coverage for those who made the 
other choice to stay on welfare. No wonder people leave work and go 
back to welfare, to get health care coverage. We have got to solve the 
health care problem to have real welfare reform.
  So this year we will make history by reforming the health care 
system. And I would say to you, all of you, my fellow public servants, 
this is another issue where the people are way ahead of the 
politicians.
  That may not be popular with either party, but it happens to be the 
truth.
  You know, the First Lady has received now almost a million letters 
from people all across America, from all walks of life. I would like to 
share just one of them with you.

[[Page 13]]

  Richard Anderson of Reno, Nevada, lost his job, and, with it, his 
health insurance. Two weeks later, his wife Judy suffered a cerebral 
aneurysm. He rushed her to the hospital, where she stayed in intensive 
care for twenty-one days. The Anderson's bills were over $120,000. 
Although Judy recovered and Richard went back to work, at eight dollars 
an hour, the billings were too much for them, and they were literally 
forced into bankruptcy.
  ``Mrs. Clinton,'' he wrote to Hillary, ``no one in the United States 
of America should have to lose everything they have worked for all 
their lives because they were unfortunate enough to become ill.'' It 
was to help the Richard and Judy Andersons of America that the First 
Lady and so many others have worked so hard and so long on this health 
care reform issue. We owe them our thanks and our action.
  I know there are people here who say there is no health care crisis. 
Tell it to Richard and Judy Anderson. Tell it to the 58 million 
Americans who have no coverage at all for some time each year. Tell it 
to the 81 million Americans with those preexisting conditions, those 
folks who are paying more or they can't get insurance at all, or they 
can't ever change their jobs because they or someone in their family 
has one of those preexisting conditions.
  If you tell it to the small businesses burdened by skyrocketing costs 
of insurance, most small businesses cover their employees and they pay 
on average 35 percent more in premiums than big businesses or 
government. Or tell it to the 76 percent of insured Americans, three 
out of four, whose policies have lifetime limits, and that means they 
can find themselves without any coverage at all, just when they need it 
the most.
  So if any of you believe there is no crisis, you tell it to those 
people. Because I can't.
  There are some people who literally do not understand the impact of 
this problem on people's lives. But all you have to do is go out and 
listen to them. Just go talk to them, anywhere, in any Congressional 
district in this country. There are Republicans and Democrats and 
Independents. It doesn't have a lick to do with party. They think we 
don't get it. And it is time we show them that we do get it.
  From the day we began, our health care initiative has been designed 
to strengthen what is good about our health care system, the world's 
best care professionals, cutting edge research, and wonderful research 
institutes, Medicare for older Americans. None of this, none of it, 
should be put at risk. But we are paying more and more money for less 
and less care. Every year fewer and fewer Americans even get to choose 
their doctors. Every year doctors and nurses spend more time on 
paperwork and less time with patients, because of the absolute 
bureaucratic nightmare the present system has become. This system is 
riddled with inefficiency, with abuse, with fraud, and everybody knows 
it. In today's health care system, insurance companies call the shots. 
They pick whom they cover and how they cover them. They can cut off 
your benefits when you need your coverage the most. They are in charge.
  What does it mean? It means every night millions of well-insured 
Americans go to bed, just an illness, an accident, or a pink slip away 
from having no coverage or financial ruin. It means every morning 
millions of Americans go to work without health insurance at all, 
something the workers in no other advanced country in the world do. It 
means that every year more and more hard working people are told to 
pick a new doctor because their boss has had to pick a new plan, and 
countless others turn down better jobs because they know if they take 
the better job, they will lose their health insurance.
  If we just let the health care system continue to drift, our country 
will have people with less care, fewer choices, and higher bills. Now, 
our approach protects the quality of care and people's choices. It 
builds on what works today in the private sector, to expand the 
employer-based coverage, to, guarantee private insurance for every 
American. And, I might say, employer-based private insurance for every 
American was proposed twenty years ago by President Richard Nixon to 
the United States Congress. It was a good idea then, and it is a better 
idea today.
  Why do we want guaranteed private insurance? Because right now, nine 
out of ten people who have insurance get it through employers, and that 
should continue. And if your employer is providing good benefits at 
reasonable prices,that should continue, too. That ought to make the 
Congress and the President feel better.
  Our goal is health insurance everybody can depend on, comprehensive 
benefits that cover preventive care and prescription drugs. Health 
premiums that don't just explode when you get sick or you get older. 
The power, no matter how small your business is, to choose dependable 
insurance at the same competitive rates governments and big business 
get today. One simple form for people who are sick. And, most of all, 
the freedom to choose a plan and the right to choose your own doctor.
  Our approach protects older Americans. Every plan before the Congress 
proposes to slow the growth of Medicare. The difference is this: We 
believe those savings should be used to improve health care for senior 
citizens. Medicare must be protected and it should cover prescription 
drugs, and we should take the first steps in covering long-term care. 
To those who would cut Medicare without protecting seniors, I say the 
solution to today's squeeze on middle class working people's health 
care is not to put the squeeze on middle class retired people's health 
care. We can do better than that. When it is all said and done, it is 
pretty simple to me: Insurance ought mean what it used to mean. You pay 
a fair price for security, and when you get sick, health care is always 
there. No matter what.
  Along with the guarantee of health security, we all have to admit, 
too, there must be more responsibility on the part of all of us in how 
we use this system. People have to take their kids to get immunized. We 
all should take advantage of preventive care. We must all work together 
to stop the violence that explodes our emergency rooms. We have to 
practice better health habits, and we can't abuse the system. And those 
who don't have insurance under our approach, will get coverage, but 
they will have to pay something for it too. The minority businesses 
that provide no insurance at all, and, in so doing, shift the costs of 
the care to their employees to others, should contribute something. 
People who smoke should pay more for a pack of cigarettes. Everybody 
can contribute something if we wanted to solve the health care crisis. 
There can't be anymore something for nothing. It will not be easy, but 
it can be done.
  In the coming months, I hope very much to work with both Democrats 
and Republicans, to reform our health care system by using the market 
to bring down costs, and to achieve lasting health security.
  If you look at history, we see that for sixty years this country has 
tried to reform health care. President Roosevelt tried, President 
Truman tried, President Nixon tried, President Carter tried. Every 
time, the special interests were powerful enough to defeat them. But 
not this time.
  I know that facing up to these interests will require courage. It 
will raise critical questions about the way we finance our campaigns 
and how lobbyists wield their influence. The work of change, frankly, 
will never get any easier until we limit the influence of well financed 
interests who profit from this current system. So I also must now call 
on you to finish the job both houses began last year, by passing tough 
and meaningful campaign finance reform and lobbying reform legislation 
this year.
  You know, my fellow Americans, this is really a test for all of us. 
The American people provide those of us in government service with 
terrific health care benefits at reasonable cost.We have health care 
that is always there.
  I think we we need to give every hard working tax paying American the 
same health care security they have already given to us.
  I want to make this very clear. I am open, as I have said repeatedly, 
to the best ideas of concerned members of both parties. I have no 
special belief for any specific approach, even in our own bill, except 
this: If you send me legislation that does not guarantee every American 
private health insurance that can never be taken away, you will force 
me to take this pen, veto the legislation, and we will come right back 
here and start all over again.

[[Page 14]]

  But I don't think that is going to happen. I think we are ready to 
act now. I believe that you are ready to act now. And if you are ready 
to guarantee every American the same health care that you have, health 
care that can never be taken away, now, not next year, or the year 
after, now is the time to stand with the people who sent us here. Now.
  As we take these steps together to renew our strength at home, we 
cannot turn away from our obligation to renew our leadership abroad. 
This is a promising moment. Because of the agreements we have reached 
this year, last year, Russia's strategic nuclear missiles soon will no 
longer be pointed at the United States, nor will we point ours at them. 
Instead of building weapons in space, Russian scientists will help us 
build the international space station.
  Of course, there are still dangers in the world. Rampant arms 
proliferation, bitter regional conflicts, ethnic and nationalist 
tensions, in many new democracies, severe environmental degradation the 
world over, and fanatics who seek to cripple the world's cities with 
terror.
  As the world's greatest power, we must therefore maintain our 
defenses and our responsibilities. This year, we secured indictments 
against terrorists and sanctions against those who harbor them. We 
worked to promote environmentally sustainable economic growth. We 
achieved agreements with Ukraine, with Belarus, and Kazakhstan to 
eliminate completely their nuclear arsenals. We are working to achieve 
a Korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons. We will seek early 
ratification of a treaty to ban chemical weapons worldwide. And earlier 
today we joined with over 30 nations to begin negotiations on a 
comprehensive ban to stop all nuclear testing.
  But nothing, nothing is more important to our security, than our 
nation's Armed Forces. We honor their contributions, including those 
who are carrying out the longest humanitarian airlift in history in 
Bosnia, those who will complete their mission in Somalia this year, and 
their brave comrades who gave their lives there.
  Our forces are the finest military our nation has ever had, and I 
have pledged that as long as I am President, they will remain the best 
equipped, the best trained, and the best prepared fighting force on the 
face of the earth.
  Last year, I proposed a defense plan that maintains our post Cold War 
security at a lower cost. This year, many people urged me to cut our 
defense spending further to pay for other government programs. I said 
no. The budget I send to Congress draws the line against further 
defense cuts. It protects the readiness and quality of our forces. 
Ultimately, the best strategy is to do that. We must not cut defense 
further. I hope the Congress, without regard to party, will support 
that position.
  Ultimately, the best strategy to ensure our security and to build a 
durable piece is to support the advance of democracy elsewhere. 
Democracies do not attack each other. They make better trading 
partners, and partners in diplomacy. That is why we have supported, you 
and I, the democratic reformers in Russia, and in the other states of 
the former Soviet bloc. I applaud the bipartisan support this Congress 
provided last year for our initiatives to help Russia, Ukraine, and 
other states through the epic transformations.
  Our support of reform must combine patience for the enormity of the 
task, and vigilance for our fundamental interests and values. We will 
continue to urge Russia and the other states to press ahead with 
economic reforms, and we will seek to cooperate with Russia to solve 
regional problems, while insisting that if Russian troops operate in 
neighboring states, they do so only when those states agree to their 
presence and in strict accord with international standards. But we must 
also remember as these nations chart their own futures, and they must 
chart their own futures, how much more secure and more prosperous our 
own people will be if democratic and market reforms succeed all across 
the former Communist bloc. Our policy has been to support that move, 
and that has been the policy of the Congress. We should continue it. 
That is why I went to Europe earlier this month, to work with our 
European partners, to help to integrate all of the former Communist 
countries into a Europe that has the possibility of becoming unified 
for the first time in its entire history. Its entire history. Based on 
the simple commitments of all nations in Europe to democracy, to free 
markets, and to respect for existing borders. With our allies we 
created have a partnership for peace that invites states from the 
former Soviet bloc and other non-NATO members to work with NATO in 
military cooperation. When I met with central Europe's leaders, 
including Lech Walesa and Vaclav Havel, men who put their lives on the 
line for freedom, I told them that the security of their region is 
important to our country's security. This year we must also do more to 
support democratic renewal in human rights and sustainable development 
all around the world.
  We will ask Congress to ratify the new GATT accord. We will continue 
standing by South Africa as it works its way through its bold and 
hopeful and difficult transition to democracy. We will convene a summit 
of the western hemisphere's democratic leaders, from Canada to the tip 
of South America, and we will continue to press for the restoration of 
true democracy in Haiti. And, as we build a more constructive 
relationship with China, we must continue to insist on clear signs of 
improvement in that nation's human rights record.
  We will also work for new progress toward the Middle East peace. Last 
year the world watched Yitzakh Rabin and Yassir Arafat at the White 
House when they had their historic handshake of reconciliation. But 
there is a long, hard road ahead, and on that road I am determined that 
I and our administration will do all we can to achieve a comprehensive 
and lasting peace for all of the peoples of the region.
  Now, there are some in our country who argue that with the Cold War 
over, America should turn its back on the rest of the world. Many 
around the world were afraid we would do just that. But I took this 
office on a pledge that had no partisan tinge to keep our Nation secure 
by remaining engaged in the rest of the world, and this year, because 
of our work together enacting NAFTA, keeping our military strong and 
prepared, supporting democracy abroad, we have reaffirmed America's 
leadership, America's engagement, and as a result, the American people 
are more secure than they were before.
  But while Americans are more secure from threats abroad, I think we 
all know that in many ways we are less secure from threats here at 
home. Every day the national peace is shattered by crime. In Petaluma, 
California, an innocent slumber party gives way to agonizing tragedy 
for the family of Polly Klass. An ordinary train ride on Long Island 
ends in a hale of 9 millimeter rounds. A tourist in Florida is nearly 
burned alive by bigots simply because he is black. Right here in our 
Nation's Capital, a brave young man named Jason White--a policeman, the 
son and grandson of policemen--is ruthlessly gunned down.
  Violent crime and the fear it provokes are crippling our society, 
limiting personal freedom, and fraying the ties that bind us. The crime 
bill before Congress gives you a chance to do something about it, a 
chance to be tough and smart.
  What does that mean? Let me begin by saying I care a lot about this 
issue. Many years ago when I started out in public life I was the 
Attorney General of my State. As a governor for a dozen years, I know 
what it is like to sign laws increasing penalties to build more prison 
cells to carry out the death penalty. I understand this issue, and it 
is not a simple thing.
  First, we must recognize that most violent crimes are committed by a 
small percentage of criminals who too often break the laws even when 
they are on parole. Now those who commit crimes should be punished, and 
those who commit repeated violent crimes should be told when you commit 
a third violent crime you will be put away and put away for good; three 
strikes and you are out.
  Second, we must take steps to reduce violence and prevent crime 
beginning with more police officers and more community policemen. We 
know right now that police who work the streets, know the folks, have 
the respect of the neighborhood kids, focus on high crime areas, we 
know that they are more

[[Page 15]]

likely to prevent crime as well as catch criminals.
  Look at the experience of Houston where the crime rate dropped 17 
percent in one year when that approach was taken.
  Here tonight is one of those policemen, a brave young detective, 
Kevin Jett, whose beat is eight square blocks in one of the toughest 
neighborhoods in New York. Every day he restores some sanity and safety 
and a sense of values and connection to the people whose lives he 
protects. I would like to ask him to stand up and be recognized 
tonight.
  You will be given a chance to give the children of this country, the 
law-abiding working people of this country--and do not forget in the 
toughest neighborhoods in this country, in the highest crime 
neighborhoods in this country, the vast majority of the people get up 
every day and obey the law, pay their taxes, do their best to raise 
their kids. They deserve people like Kevin Jett. And you are going to 
be given a chance to give the American people another 100,000 of them, 
well trained, and I urge you to do it.
  You have before you crime legislation which also establishes a police 
court to encourage young people to get an education, pay it off by 
serving as police officers, which encourages retiring military 
personnel to move into police forces, an enormous resource for our 
country, one which has a safe schools provision which will give our 
young people to change to walk to school in safety and to be in school 
in safety instead of dodging bullets. These are important things.
  The third thing we have to do is to build on the Brady bill, the 
Brady law, to take further steps to keep guns out of the hands of 
criminals. I want to say something about this issue. Hunters must 
always be free to hunt, law-abiding adults should always be free to own 
guns and to protect their homes. I respect that part of our culture. I 
grew up in it. But I want to ask the sportsmen and others who lawfully 
own guns to join us in this campaign to reduce gun violence. I say to 
you I know you did not create this problem, but we need your help to 
solve it. There is no sporting purpose on earth that should stop the 
United States Congress from banishing assault weapons that outgun our 
police and cut down our children.
  Fourth, we must remember that drugs are a factor in an enormous 
percentage of crimes. Recent studies indicate sadly that drug use is on 
the rise again among our young people. The crime bill contains, all of 
the crime bills contain more money for drug treatment for criminal 
addicts and boot camps for youthful offenders that include incentives 
to get off drugs and to stay off drugs. Our administration's budget 
with all its cuts contains a large increase infunding for drug 
treatment and drug education. You must pass them both. We need them 
desperately.
  My fellow Americans, the problem of violence is an American problem. 
It has no partisan or philosophical element. Therefore, I urge you to 
find ways as quickly as possible to set aside partisan differences and 
pass a strong, smart, tough crime bill.
  But further, I urge you to consider this: As you demand tougher 
penalties for those who choose violence, let us also remember how we 
came to this sad point. In our toughest neighborhoods, on our meanest 
streets, in our poorest rural areas, we have seen a stunning and 
simultaneous breakdown of community, family, and work, the heart and 
soul of civilized society. This has created a vast vacuum which has 
been filled by violence, and drugs, and gangs.
  So I ask you to remember that even as we say no to crime, we must 
give people, especially our young people, something to say yes to. Many 
of our initiatives, from job training to welfare reform, to health 
care, to national service, will help to rebuild distressed communities, 
to strengthen families, to provide work. But more needs to be done. 
That is what our community empowerment agenda is all about, challenging 
businesses to provide more investment through empowerment zones, 
ensuring banks will make loans in the same communities their deposits 
come from, passing legislation to unleash the power of capital through 
community development banks to create jobs, opportunity and hope where 
they are needed most. But, I think you know that to really solve this 
problem we will all have to put our heads together, leave our 
ideological armor aside, and find some new ideas to do even more.
  And let us be honest. We all know something else too. Our problems go 
way beyond the reach of government. They are rooted in the loss of 
values, in the disappearance of work, and the breakdown of our families 
and communities. My fellow Americans, we can cut the deficit, create 
jobs, promote democracy around the world, pass welfare reform and 
health care, pass the toughest crime bill in history, and still leave 
too many of our people behind. The American people have got to change 
from within if we are going to bring back work and family and 
community.
  We cannot renew our country when within a decade more than half of 
our children will be born into families where there has been no 
marriage. We cannot renew this country when 13-year-old boys get 
semiautomatic weapons to shoot 9-year-olds for kicks. We cannot renew 
our country when children are having children and the fathers walk away 
as if the kids do not amount to anything.
  We cannot renew the country when our businesses eagerly look for new 
investments and new customers abroad, but ignore those people right 
here at home who would give anything to have their jobs, and would 
gladly buy their products if they had the money to do it.
  

  We cannot renew our country unless more of us, I mean all of us are 
willing to join the churches and other good citizens, people like all 
of the ministers I have worked with over the years, or the priests and 
the nuns I met at Our Lady of Health in East Los Angeles, or my good 
friend, Tony Campollo in Philadelphia, unless we are willing to work 
with people like that, people who are saving kids, adopting schools, 
making streets safer, all of us can do that. We cannot renew our 
country until we realize that governments do not raise children, 
parents do, parents who know their children's teachers, and turn off 
the television and help with the homework, and teach their kids right 
from wrong. Those kinds of parents can make all of the difference. I 
know. I had one.
  I am telling you, we have got to stop pointing our fingers at these 
kids who have no future and reach our hands out to them. Our country 
needs it. We need it. And they deserve it.
  And so I say to you tonight, let us give our children a future. Let 
us take away their guns and give them books. Let us overcome their 
despair and replace it with hope. Let us by our example teach them to 
obey the law, respect our neighbors, and cherish our values.
  Let us weave these 30 threads into a new American community that can 
once more stand strong against the forces of despair and evil because 
everybody has a chance to walk into a better tomorrow.
  Oh, there will be naysayers who fear that we will not be equal to the 
challenges of this time. But they misread our history, our heritage, 
even today's headlines. All of those things tell us we can and we will 
overcome any challenge.
  When the earth shook and fires raged in California, when I saw the 
Mississippi deluge the farmlands of the Midwest in a 500-year flood, 
when the century's bitterest cold swept from North Dakota to Newport 
News, it seemed as though the world itself was coming apart at the 
seams. But the American people came together, they rose to the 
occasion, neighbor helping neighbor, strangers risking life and limb to 
save total strangers, showing the better angels of our nature.
  Let us not reserve these better angels only for natural disasters, 
leaving our deepest problems and most profound problems to petty 
political fighting.
  Let us instead be true to our spirit--facing facts, coming together, 
bringing hope and moving forward.
  Tonight, my fellow Americans, we are summoned to answer a question as 
old as the Republic itself: What is the state of our Union? It is 
growing stronger, but it must be stronger still. With your help, and 
God's help, it will be.
  Thank you, and God bless America.

Para. 2.4  holocaust reparations for hugo princz

  Mr. HAMILTON, pursuant to the special order of the House of January 
25, 1993, moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
resolution (H. Res. 323): 

       Whereas Hugo Princz and his family were United States 
     citizens residing in Europe at the outbreak of World War II;
       Whereas as civilians, Mr. Princz and his family were 
     arrested as enemy aliens of the German Government (not 
     prisoners of war) in early 1942;
       Whereas the Government of Germany, over the protests of Mr. 
     Princz's father, refused to honor the validity of the Princz 
     family's United States passports on the grounds that the 
     Princz family were Jewish Americans and failed to return the 
     Princz family to the United States as part of an 
     International Red Cross civilian prisoner exchange;
       Whereas the Princz family was instead sent to Maidanek 
     concentration camp in Poland, after which Mr. Princz's 
     father, mother, and sister were shipped to Treblinka death 
     camp and exterminated;
       Whereas Mr. Princz and his two younger brothers were 
     transported by cattle car to Auschwitz to serve as slave 
     laborers, where Mr. Princz was forced to watch as his two 
     siblings were intentionally starved to death while they lay 
     injured in a camp hospital;
       Whereas Mr. Princz was subsequently transferred to a camp 
     in Warsaw and, then, by death march, to the Dachau slave 
     labor facility;
       Whereas in the closing days of the war, Mr. Princz and 
     other slave laborers were selected for extermination by 
     German authorities in an effort to destroy incriminating 
     evidence of war crimes;
       Whereas hours before his scheduled execution, Mr. Princz's 
     death train was intercepted and liberated by United States 
     armed forces, and Mr. Princz was sent to an American military 
     hospital for treatment;
       Whereas although the actions of the United States Army 
     saved Mr. Princz's life, he was sent to an American facility 
     and was never processed through a ``Center for Displaced 
     Persons'', a development which would later affect his 
     eligibility to receive reparations for his suffering;
       Whereas following his hospitalization, Mr. Princz was 
     permitted to enter then-Communist-occupied Czechoslovakia to 
     search for family members, and, after determining that he was 
     the sole survivor, Mr. Princz traveled to America where he 
     was taken in by relatives;
       Whereas in the early 1950s, the Federal Republic of Germany 
     established a reparations program for ``survivors'', to which 
     Mr. Princz made timely application in 1955;
       Whereas Mr. Princz's application was rejected, and Mr. 
     Princz has argued that his rejection was based on the grounds 
     that he was a United States national at the time of his 
     capture and later rescued and not a ``stateless'' person or 
     ``refugee'';
       Whereas Mr. Princz has not received relief from the Federal 
     Republic of Germany in the intervening 40 years;
       Whereas Mr. Princz's diplomatic remedies were exhausted by 
     late 1990, forcing him to sue the Federal Republic of Germany 
     in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia in 
     1992;
       Whereas the Court denied Germany's dismissal motion and 
     determined that Mr. Princz's situation to be sui generis, 
     given Germany's concurrence with the material facts in the 
     case and its simultaneous failure to accept financial 
     responsibility with respect to Mr. Princz, when it has 
     distributed billions of dollars in compensation to other Nazi 
     death camp survivors, simply because of his American 
     citizenship at the time of Mr. Princz's capture and later 
     rescue;
       Whereas the trial is now stayed pending Germany's appeal to 
     the District of Columbia Circuit to require the case to be 
     dismissed on grounds of sovereign immunity; and
       Whereas Germany's refusal to redress Mr. Princz's unique 
     and tragic grievances and to provide him a survivor's pension 
     undercuts its oft-voiced claims to have put its terrible past 
     behind it: Now, therefore, be it

[[Page 20]]

       Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of 
     Representatives that the President and the Secretary of State 
     should--
       (1) raise the matter of Hugo Princz with the Federal 
     Republic of Germany, including the Chancellor and Foreign 
     Minister, and take all appropriate steps necessary to ensure 
     that this matter will be expeditiously resolved and that fair 
     reparations will be provided Mr. Princz; and
       (2) state publicly and unequivocally that the United States 
     will not countenance the continued discriminatory treatment 
     of Hugo Princz in light of the terrible torment he suffered 
     at the hands of the Nazis.

Para. 2.9  message from the president--bulgaria immigration

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  On June 3, 1993, I determined and reported to the Congress that 
Bulgaria is in full compliance with the freedom of emigration criteria 
of sections 402 and 409 of the Trade Act of 1974. This determination 
allowed for the continuation of most-favored nation (MFN) status and 
certain U.S. Government financial

[[Page 21]]

programs for Bulgaria without the requirement of a waiver.
  As required by law, I am submitting an updated 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.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, January 26, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 103-197).

Para. 2.10  calendar wednesday business dispensed with

  On motion of Mr. GEPHARDT, by unanimous consent,
  Ordered, That business in order for consideration on Wednesday, 
February 2, 1994, under clause 7, rule XXIV, the Calendar Wednesday 
rule, be dispensed with.

Para. 2.11  message from the president--us-greece social security 
          agreement

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  Purusant to section 233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended 
by the Social Security Amendments of 1977 (Public Law 95-216, 42 U.S.C. 
433(e)(1)), I transmit herewith the Agreement between the United States 
and Greece on Social Security, which consists of two separate 
instruments: a principal agreement and an administrative arrangement. 
The Agreement was signed at Athens on June 22, 1993.
  The United States-Greece agreement contains all provisions mandated by 
section 233 and other provisions which I deem appropriate to carry out 
the provisions of section 233, pursuant to section 233(c)(4). It is 
similar in objective to the social security agreements already in force 
with Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, 
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, 
Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Such bilateral agreements provide 
for limited coordination between the United States and foreign social 
security systems to eliminate dual social security coverage and 
taxation, and to help prevent the loss of benefit protection that can 
occur when workers divide their careers between two countries.
  I also transmit for the information of the Congress a report prepared 
by the Department of Health and Human Services explaining the key points 
of the Agreement, along with a paragraph-by-paragraph explanation of the 
provisions of the principal agreement and the related administrative 
arrangement. Annexed to this report is the report required by section 
233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act on the effect of the Agreement on 
income and expenditures of the U.S. Social Security program and the 
number of individuals affected by the Agreement. The Department of State 
and the Department of Health and Human Services have recommended the 
Agreement and related documents to me.
  I commend the United States-Greece Social Security Agreement and 
related documents.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, January 26, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 103-199).
  And then,

Para. 2.12  adjournment

Para. 3.5  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. 3.6  message from the president--state of small business

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. VOLKMER, 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 present my first annual report on the state of small 
business. This report covers data for fiscal year 1992, a period of slow 
economic recovery that occurred just before my Administration took 
office.
  Small businesses create many new jobs and are an important part of our 
Nation's economic growth. That is why, in my first address to the Joint 
Session of the Congress, I proposed some of the boldest targeted 
incentives for small business in history. These measures will benefit 
not only small businesses, but the American work force, our Nation's 
economy, and our international competitiveness.
  At the same time, we must undertake some major corrective efforts. As 
small business owners will testify, the best thing the government could 
do for small business and the economy is to reduce the deficit. The 
primary goal of the economic program is to set the economy on the proper 
course for the short- and long-term future. Deficit reduction and 
shifting consumption to investment are the ways to accomplish that goal.
  Reducing health care costs while ensuring that all Americans have 
access to health care is another national imperative. I have said it 
before: bringing health spending in line with inflation would do more 
for the private sector than almost any incentive or tax cut we could 
promote. At the same time, we must find a way to provide health care for 
everyone. Currently two-thirds of the Americans without health insurance 
are employed--many in small businesses. My health care task force has 
evaluated many proposals to ensure that health care is available to 
small business employees and affordable for small business owners. It 
will take time to change our health care system, but we are taking the 
important first steps.
  We will also need to keep looking for better ways to provide for 
workers upon retirement. As this report documents, pension plans, like 
health plans, are much less available and affordable in small 
businesses. And as the baby boom generation moves toward retirement, 
issues related to Social Security and pension plan availability take on 
new urgency.
  Beyond these long-range efforts, I have asked the Congress to join me 
in investing in small business and economic growth through specific tax 
incentives, capital formation initiatives, enterprise and empowerment 
zones, technology investments, and education and job training efforts.
  To encourage long-term investment in small business, I supported--and 
the Congress passed--a 50 percent tax exclusion on capital gains from 
invest- 

[[Page 25]]

ments in qualified small business stock held for at least 5 years. This 
incentive, which will help small businesses raise critically needed 
capital, is projected to create 80,000 new jobs over the next 5 years. I 
also favored such an exclusion for investment in small business venture 
capital firms targeting investments to minority-owned businesses. 
Another small business incentive I supported increases the section 179 
expensing limitation from $10,000 to $17,500, which will enable a number 
of smaller firms to purchase equipment needed for modernization and 
growth.
  My Administration supports easing the regulatory burden on small firms 
so that more of the time spent filling out paperwork--especially 
complicated or duplicative paperwork--can be used for more productive 
activities. There are a number of measures we can take. We have already 
simplified the computation of certain taxes such as the alternative 
minimum tax and we have eased the safe harbor rules related to 
the individual estimated tax. And we can ensure that Federal agencies 
comply with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which requires them to 
assess the effects of their proposed regulations on small firms.

  Recent low interest rates have made resources more available to 
consumers for purchasing the products and services of American business 
and have made loans somewhat less expensive for the business community. 
In addition, I have proposed a number of measures to make capital more 
available to small business. To ease the ``credit crunch'' faced by 
many small firms, new provisions are loosening restrictions on banks so 
they can more easily make ``character'' loans, easing appraisal 
requirements for real estate used as collateral for small business 
loans, eliminating overlapping Federal regulations on lending 
institutions, and establishing an appeals process for banks and 
consumers who believe they have been unfairly treated by regulators.
  Small and minority-owned businesses would also benefit from a 
strengthened system of community development banks. A proposed 
Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Fund would 
support investment in community development financial institutions 
(CDFIs). These CDFIs would be a source for loans and technical 
assistance to individuals and businesses in communities underserved by 
traditional lending institutions.
  Another way we plan to support the growth of new small enterprises, 
especially in economically depressed areas, is through the 
establishment of empowerment zones, enterprise communities, and rural 
development investment areas. The zones and communities will be 
nominated by State and local governments and chosen on a competitive 
basis after certain criteria based on population, geographic area, and 
poverty level are met. Businesses in these designated communities can 
take advantage of expanded tax-exempt financing. Businesses in 
empowerment zones will be given additional employment credits and tax 
incentives.
  Only by fully developing our technological and human resources can we 
expect to be leaders in the international marketplace. That means 
investment in technology and worker skills.
  There are a number of actions we can take to remain technologically 
competitive. We can extend the research and experimentation tax credit 
to encourage more research activities by American small businesses. I 
would like to see an expansion of the Small Business Innovation 
Research program, which, as documented in this report, helps channel 
Federal research funding to innovative small firms. I support a strong 
Small Business Technology Transfer program in which small businesses 
work with Federal laboratories and universities to develop promising 
technology and introduce it into the marketplace. The manufacturing 
extension centers we have proposed would help small- and medium-sized 
businesses evaluate new manufacturing technology. And I'd like to see 
an expansion of the Commerce Department's Advanced Technology Program, 
which provides matching grants to companies working on generic 
technology. Finally, we need to speed up computer networks and 
coordinate Federal information and telecommunications policy.
  We are looking at innovative ways to employ, train, and provide for a 
work force second to none. To begin with, we have extended the targeted 
jobs tax credit, which is available to employers who hire economically 
disadvantaged youth and members of specific at-risk groups. But that is 
just a small part of a large picture: many State, local, and private 
groups are experimenting with innovative ways to develop and train a 
competitive work force for the 21st century.
  Clearly, our Nation faces many challenges. Fortunately, we face them 
with an almost limitless resource--the variety and ingenuity of the 
American people. If we can meet our national challenges with the energy 
and innovative spirit of America's small business owners, we will be 
doing very well. So I encourage the Members of Congress, together with 
young people and small business owners and all Americans to reach into 
your imaginations: dream boldly and begin something new.

     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. 3759) making emergency supplemental 
     appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1994, 
     and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall 
     be dispensed with. All points of order against the bill and 
     against its consideration are waived. 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 Appropriations. After general 
     debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
     five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. No 
     amendment shall be in order except the amendments printed in 
     the report, of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
     resolution. Each amendment may be offered only in the order 
     printed in the report, may be offered only by a Member

     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. With the 
     concurrence of the minority leader, the amendment numbered 2 
     in part 1 of the report may be offered in a modified form 
     that is germane to its printed form. If more than one of the 
     amendments printed in part 2 of the report is adopted, only 
     the last to be adopted shall be considered as finally adopted 
     and reported to the House. 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 
     finally adopted. The previous question shall be considered as 
     ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage 
     without intervening motion except one motion to recommit.

     SEC. 2710. REFORM OF HUD 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:

     ``SEC. 203. MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSITION OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING 
                   PROJECTS.

       ``(a) Goals.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban 
     Development (in this section referred to as the `Secretary') 
     shall manage or dispose of multifamily housing projects that 
     are owned by the Secretary or that are subject to a mortgage 
     held by the Secretary in a manner that--
       ``(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;
       ``(B) preserving and revitalizing residential 
     neighborhoods;
       ``(C) maintaining existing housing stock in a decent, safe, 
     and sanitary condition;
       ``(D) minimizing the involuntary displacement of tenants;
       ``(E) maintaining housing for the purpose of providing 
     rental housing, cooperative housing, and homeownership 
     opportunities for low-income persons; and
       ``(F) minimizing the need to demolish multifamily housing 
     projects.

     The Secretary, in determining the manner in which a project 
     is to be managed or disposed of, may balance competing goals 
     relating to individual projects in a manner that will further 
     the purposes of this section.

     specified in subsection (a)(3)(A), the Secretary shall take 
     not less than one of the following actions:

     area an adequate supply of habitable affordable housing for 
     low-income families. Actions taken pursuant to this paragraph 
     may be taken in connection with not more than 10 percent of

     revitalization goals.

     Secretary may prescribe.

       ``(i) provide project-based section 8 rental assistance; 
     and
       ``(ii)(I) provide up-front grants for the necessary cost of 
     rehabilitation; or
       ``(II) pay for any cost to the Government, as defined in 
     section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act, for loans made 
     pursuant to subsection (f)(1).
       ``(i) Disposition Plan.--
       ``(1) In general.--Prior to the sale of a multifamily 
     housing project that is owned by the Secretary, the Secretary 
     shall develop a 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 reflect the intended use of the property after sale.
       ``(2) Community and tenant input into disposition plans and 
     sales.--
       ``(A) In general.--In carrying out this section, the 
     Secretary shall develop procedures 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 situated, and the tenants of the 
     project.
       ``(B) Tenant organizations.--The Secretary shall develop 
     procedures to facilitate, where feasible and appropriate, the 
     sale of multifamily housing projects to existing tenant 
     organizations with demonstrated capacity or to public or 
     nonprofit entities which represent or are affiliated with 
     existing tenant organizations.
       ``(C) Technical assistance.--
       ``(i) Use of funds.--To carry out the procedures developed 
     under subparagraphs (A) and (B), the Secretary is authorized 
     to provide technical assistance, directly or indirectly, and 
     to use amounts appropriated for technical assistance under 
     the Emergency Low Income Housing Preservation Act of 1987, 
     the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Resident 
     Homeownership Act of 1990, subtitle B of title IV of the 
     Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, or under 
     this section for the provision of technical assistance under 
     this section.
       ``(ii) Source of funds.--Recipients of technical assistance 
     funding under the Emergency Low Income Housing Preservation 
     Act of 1987, the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Resident 
     Homeownership Act of 1990, subtitle B of title IV of the 
     Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, or under 
     this section shall be permitted to provide technical 
     assistance to the extent of such funding under any of such 
     programs or under this section, notwithstanding the source of 
     funding.
       ``(j) Right of First Refusal.--
       ``(1) Procedure.--
       ``(A) Notification by secretary of the acquisition of 
     title.--Not later than 30 days after acquiring title to a 
     project, the Secretary shall notify the unit of general local 
     government and the State agency or agencies designated by the 
     Governor of the acquisition of such title.
       ``(B) Expression of interest.--Not later than 45 days after 
     receiving notification from the Secretary under subparagraph 
     (A), the unit of general local government or designated State 
     agency may submit to the Secretary a preliminary expression 
     of interest in 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.
       ``(C) Timely expression of interest.--If the unit of 
     general local government or designated State agency has 
     expressed interest in the project before the expiration of 
     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 
     agency of the terms and conditions of the disposition plan 
     and give the unit of general local government or designated 
     State agency not more than 90 days after the date of such 
     notification to make an offer to purchase the project.
       ``(D) No timely expression of interest.--If the unit of 
     general local government or designated State agency does not 
     express interest before the expiration of the 45-day period 
     referred to in subparagraph (B), or does not substantiate an 
     expressed interest if requested, the Secretary, upon approval 
     of a disposition plan, may offer the project for sale to any 
     interested person or entity.
       ``(2) Acceptance of offers.--Where the Secretary has given 
     the unit of general local government or designated State 
     agency 90 days to make an offer to purchase the project, the 
     Secretary shall accept an offer that complies with the terms 
     and conditions of the disposition plan. 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 shall, in particular, have discretion to 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 (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 
     project for sale to the general public.
       ``(3) Purchase by unit of general local government or 
     designated state agency.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
     of law, a unit of general local government (including a 
     public housing agency) or designated State agency may 
     purchase a subsidized or formerly subsidized project in 
     accordance with this subsection.
       ``(4) Applicability.--This subsection shall apply to 
     projects that are acquired on or after the effective date of 
     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 such paragraphs existed immediately before the 
     effective date of this subsection; or
       ``(B) the requirements of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this 
     subsection, if the Secretary gives the unit of general local 
     government or designated State agency--
       ``(i) 45 days to express interest in the project; and
       ``(ii) if the unit of general local government or 
     designated State agency expresses interest in the project 
     before the expiration of the 45-day period, and substantiates 
     such

[[Page 44]]

     interest if requested, 90 days from the date of notification 
     of the terms and conditions of the disposition plan to make 
     an offer to purchase the project.
       ``(k) 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 which may be available. In the case 
     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.
       ``(2) Rights of displaced tenants.--The Secretary shall 
     assure for any such tenant (who continues to meet applicable 
     qualification standards) the right--
       ``(A) to return, whenever possible, to a repaired unit;
       ``(B) to occupy a unit in another multifamily housing 
     project owned by the Secretary;
       ``(C) to obtain housing assistance under the United States 
     Housing Act of 1937; or
       ``(D) to receive any other available relocation assistance 
     as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.
       ``(l) 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 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--
       ``(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.
       ``(m) Report to Congress.--Not later than June 1 of each 
     year, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Banking, 
     Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on 
     Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives, a report describing the status of 
     multifamily housing projects owned by or subject to mortgages 
     held by the Secretary, which report shall include--
       ``(1) the name, address, and size of each project;
       ``(2) the nature and date of assignment;
       ``(3) the status of the mortgage;
       ``(4) the physical condition of the project;
       ``(5) an occupancy profile of the project, including the 
     income, family size, and race of current residents as well as 
     the rents paid by such residents;
       ``(6) the proportion of units in a project that are vacant;
       ``(7) the date on which the Secretary became mortgagee in 
     possession;
       ``(8) the date and conditions of any foreclosure sale;
       ``(9) the date of acquisition by the Secretary;
       ``(10) the date and conditions of any property disposition 
     sale;
       ``(11) a description of actions undertaken pursuant to this 
     section, including--
       ``(A) a comparison of results between actions taken after 
     enactment of the Housing and Community Development Act of 
     1993 and actions taken in years prior to such enactment;
       ``(B) a description of any impediments to the disposition 
     or management of multifamily housing projects, together with 
     a recommendation of proposed legislative or regulatory 
     changes designed to ameliorate such impediments;
       ``(C) a description of actions taken to restructure or 
     commence foreclosure on delinquent multifamily mortgages held 
     by the Department; and
       ``(D) a description of actions taken to monitor and prevent 
     the default of multifamily housing mortgages held by the 
     Federal Housing Administration;
       ``(12) a description of any of the functions performed in 
     connection with this section that are contracted out to 
     public or private entities or to States, including--
       ``(A) the costs associated with such delegation;
       ``(B) the implications of contracting out or delegating 
     such functions for current Department field or regional 
     personnel, including anticipated personnel or work load 
     reductions;
       ``(C) necessary oversight required by Department personnel, 
     including anticipated personnel hours devoted to such 
     oversight;
       ``(D) a description of any authority granted to such public 
     or private entities or States in conjunction with the 
     functions that have been delegated or contracted out or that 
     are not otherwise available for use by Department personnel; 
     and
       ``(E) the extent to which such public or private entities 
     or States include tenants of multifamily housing projects in 
     the disposition planning for such projects;
       ``(13) a description of the activities carried out under 
     subsection (j) during the preceding year; and
       ``(14) a description and assessment of the rules,

     possession) as well as the steps that the Secretary has taken 
     or plans to take to improve the management performance of the

       (c) Effective Date.--The Secretary shall, by notice 
     published in the Federal Register, which shall take effect

Para. 5.28  message from the president--great egg harbor study

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  I take pleasure in transmitting the enclosed report on the Great Egg 
Harbor River in the State of New Jersey. The report is in response to 
the provisions of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, Public Law 90-542, as 
amended. The Great Egg Harbor Study was authorized by Public Law 99-590, 
approved on October 30, 1986.
  The study of the Great Egg Harbor River was conducted by a task force 
made up of representatives of affected municipalities, State and Federal 
agencies, organizations with river-related interests, and local 
residents under the leadership of the National Park Service. The 
National Park Service, together with the task force, identified the 
outstandingly remarkable resources within the study area, analyzed 
existing levels of protection for these values, investigated major 
issues and public concerns, assessed the attitude of riparian 
landowners, reviewed and analyzed the impact of existing and potential 
development, and developed alternative plans and management strategies.
  The National Park Service determined that 129 miles of the Great Egg 
Harbor River and its tributaries are eligible for inclusion in the 
National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This is based upon their free-
flowing condition and fish, wildlife, botanic, and recreational values.
  Eleven of the 12 affected local governing bodies endorsed designation 
of the eligible river segments. The lone exception, Upper Township on 
the Tuckahoe River tributary, did not take a position nor did the State 
of New Jersey.
  Perhaps due to this overwhelming support, the 102d Congress proceeded 
to designation without waiting for submittal of the required report and 
Presidential recommendation. While a Presidential recommendation is now 
moot, I am submitting the report to fulfill the requirements of sections 
4(a) and 5(a)(93) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, February 3, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.

Para. 5.29  message from the president--maurice river

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  I take pleasure in transmitting the enclosed report on the Maurice and 
Manumuskin River and Menantico Creek in the State of New Jersey. The 
report and my recommendations are in response to the provisions of the 
Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, Public Law 90-452, as amended. The study of 
the Maurice River and these two tributaries was authorized by Public Law 
100-33, approved on May 7, 1987.
  The study of the Maurice River and tributaries was conducted by a task 
force composed of representatives of affected municipalities, State and 
Federal agencies, organizations with river-related interests, and local 
residents under the leadership of the National Park Service (NPS). The 
NPS, together with the task force, identified the outstandingly 
remarkable resources within the study area, analyzed existing levels of 
protection for these values, investigated major issues and public 
concerns, assessed the attitude of riparian landowners, reviewed and 
analyzed the impact of existing and potential development, and developed 
alternative plans and management strategies.
  The NPS determined that 42.4 miles of the Maurice River and its 
tributaries are eligible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic 
Rivers System. This is based upon their free-flowing condition and fish, 
wildlife, and vegetative values. There are also important cultural 
values and surface water quality of the Manumuskin and Menantico is very 
good.
  In accordance with the wishes of local government, the NPS did not 
consider Federal land acquisition or management as an alternative for 
protecting river resources. Instead, the study focused on assisting the 
political subdivisions in developing and adopting local measures for 
providing resource protection where existing protection had been 
inadequate.
  Due to strong local and congressional support, the 103d Congress 
proceeded to designation without waiting for submittal of the required 
report and Presidential recommendation. While a Presidential 
recommendation is now moot, I am submitting the report to fulfill the 
requirements of section 4(a) and sections 5(a)(96) through 5(a)(98) of 
the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
                                                   William J. Clinton.

  The White House, February 3, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.

Para. 5.30  director of non-legislative and financial services

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

         Office of the Director, Non-Legislative and Financial 
           Services, House of Representatives,
                                 Washington, DC, January 10, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Over the past five months since we last 
     met and discussed the position of the Director, I have become 
     convinced that the situation which existed then is not likely 
     to change. The difficulties I encountered last summer have 
     persisted. Further, it appears that some individuals have 
     begun to make the Director the issue, thus undermining the 
     credibility of the office. That cannot be helpful to you or 
     to the House.
       Accordingly, I have reached the conclusion that my 
     resignation would be in the best interest of all concerned. I 
     request release from my appointment, effective January 21, 
     1994, or sooner, if convenient. I propose to turn over my 
     responsibilities to Mr. Michael Shinay who is fully capable 
     of assuming the duties of the Director, pending your final 
     decision on a successor.
       Mr. Speaker, I have appreciated you support and that of the 
     Majority and Minority Leaders. I have continued to serve over 
     these past several months knowing I could count on that 
     support and believing in your joint commitment to the 
     creation of a truly nonpartisan administrative structure. 
     Unfortunately, I believe others have different agendas and my 
     usefulness to you is at an end.
       It is my sincere hope that a new Director will enjoy 
     greater success and my departure now will achieve a more 
     useful purpose than any short term benefit my continued 
     service as Director might provide.
           Sincerely,
                                           Leonard P. Wishart III,
                                                         Director.

  By unanimous consent, the resignation was accepted.

Para. 6.5  message from the president--budget fy 95

  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:
  The Fiscal Year 1995 budget, which I transmit to you with this 
message, builds on the strong foundation of deficit reduction, economic 
growth, and jobs that we established together last year. By encouraging 
private investment--and undertaking public investment to produce more 
and higher-paying jobs, and to prepare today's workers and our children 
to hold these jobs--we are renewing the American dream.
  The budget continues to reverse the priorities of the past, carrying 
on in the new direction we embraced last year.
  --It keeps deficits on a downward path;
  --It continues our program of investment in long-term economic growth, 
    in fighting crime, and in the skills of our children and our 
    workers; and
  --It sets the stage for health care reform, which is critical to our 
    economic and fiscal future.
  When I took office a year ago, the budget and economic outlook for our 
country was bleak. Twelve years of borrow-and-spend budget policies and 
trickle-down economics had put deficits on a rapid upward trajectory, 
left the economy struggling to emerge from recession, and given middle 
class taxpayers the sense that their government had abandoned them.
  Perhaps most seriously, the enduring American dream--that each 
generation passes on a better life to its children--was under siege, 
threatened by policies and attitudes that stressed today at the expense 
of tomorrow, speculative profits at the expense of long-term growth, 
and wasteful spending at the expense of our children's future.
  A year later, the picture is brighter. The enactment of my budget 
plan in 1993, embodying the commitment we have made to invest in our 
future, has contributed to a strenghthening economic recovery, a clear 
downward trend in budget deficits, and the beginnings of a renewed 
confidence among our people. We have ended drift and broken the 
gridlock of the past. A Congress and a President are finally working 
together to confront our country's problems.
  Serious challenges remain. Not all of our people are participating in 
the recovery; some regions are lagging behind the rest of the country. 
Layoffs continue as a result of the restructuring taking place in 
American business and the end of the Cold War.
  Rising health care costs remain a major threat to our families and 
businesses, to the economy, and to our progress on budget deficits. Our 
welfare system must be transformed to encourage work and 
responsibility. And our Nation, communities, and families face the 
ever-increasing threat of crime and violence in our streets, a threat 
which degrades the qualify of life for Americans regardless of their 
income, regardless of their race, regardless of where they live.
  We will confront these challenges this year, by acting on health care 
reform, welfare reform, and the crime bill now under consideration in 
the Congress, and by continuing to build on our economic plan, with 
further progress on deficits, and investments in our people as well as 
in research, technology, and infrastructure.


                           what we inherited

  When our Administration took office, the budget deficit was high and 
headed higher--to $302 billion in 1995 and well over $400 billion by 
the end of the decade.
  When our Administration took office, the middle class was feeling the 
effects of the tax changes of the 1980s, which had radically shifted 
the Federal tax burden from the wealthy to those less well off. From 
the late 1970s to 1990, tax rates for the wealthiest Americans had 
declined, while rates for most other Americans had increased.
  When our Administration took office, the economy was still struggling 
to break out of recession, with few new jobs and continuing high 
interest rates. In 1992, mortgage rates averaged well over eight 
percent. Unemployment at the end of 1992 stood at 7.3 percent, and 
barely a million jobs had been added to the economy in the previous 
four years. The outlook for the future was slow productivity growth, 
stagnant wages, and rising inequality--as sagging consumer confidence 
demonstrated.


                            a new direction

  Today, whether it is the deficit, fairness, or the status of the 
economy, the situation is much improved.
  The budget I am submitting today projects a deficit of $176 billion, 
a drop of $126 billion from where it would have been without our plan. 
If the declines we project in the deficits for 1994 and 1995 take 
place, it will be the first time deficits have declined three years 
running since Harry Truman occupied the Oval Office.
  The disciplines we have put into place are working.
  We have frozen discretionary spending. Except in emergencies, we 
cannot spend an additional dime on any program unless we cut it from 
another part of the budget. We are reducing low-priority spending to 
fulfill the promise of deficit reduction as well as to fund limited, 
targeted investments in our future. Some 340 discretionary programs 
were cut in 1994, and our new budget cuts a similar number of programs. 
These are not the kind of cuts where you end up spending more money. 
These are true cuts, where you actually spend less. Total discretionary 
spending is lower than the previous year--again, in straight dollar 
terms, with no allowance for inflation.
  As for entitlement spending, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 
1993 achieved nearly $100 billion in savings from nearly every major 
entitlement program. Pay-as-you-go rules prevent new entitlement 
spending that is not paid for, and I have issued an executive order 
which imposes the first real discipline on unanticipated increases in 
these programs. For the future, health care reform will address the 
fastest growing entitlement programs--Medicare and Medicaid--which make 
up the bulk of spending growth in future budgets, and the Bipartisan 
Commission on Entitlement Reform, which I have established by executive 
order, will examine the possibility of additional entitlement savings.
  While we have imposed tough disciplines, there is one more needed 
tool. The modified line-item veto, which would provide Presidents with 
enhanced rescission authority, has already been adopted by the House as 
H.R. 1578. If enacted, it will enable Presidents to single out 
questionable items in appropriations bills and require that they be 
subject to an up-or-down majority vote in the Congress. I think that 
makes sense, and it preserves the ability of a majority in Congress to 
make appropriations decisions.
  In addition to budget discipline, we made dramatic changes that 
restored fairness to the tax code. We made the distribution of the 
income tax burden far more equitable by raising income tax rates on 
only the richest 1.2 percent of our people--couples with income over 
$180,000--and by substantially increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit 
for 15 million low-income working families. Thus, nearly 99 percent of 
taxpayers will find out this year that their income tax rates have not 
been increased.


                                Results

  Finally, the most significant result of our commitment to changing 
how Washington does business is growing economic confidence. Investment 
is up--in businesses, in residences, and in consumer durables; real 
investment in equipment grew seven times as fast in 1993 as over the 
preceding four years. Mortgage rates are at their lowest level in 
decades. Nearly two million more Americans are working than were 
working a year ago, twice as great an increase in one year as was 
achieved in the previous four years combined; and the rate of 
unemployment at the end of 1993 was down to 6.4 percent, a drop of 
nearly a full percentage point.
  The fundamentals are solid and strong, and we are building for the 
future with a steady and sustainable expansion.


                           the economic plan

  How did all this happen? Our economic plan had three fundamental 
components:


                           deficit reduction

  First, the introduction and eventual enactment of our $500 billion 
deficit-reduction plan--the largest in history--brought the deficit 
down from 4.9 per- 

[[Page 59]]

cent of GDP, where it was in 1992, to a projected 2.5 percent of GDP in 
1995 and 2.3 percent of GDP in 1999. This substantially eased pressure 
on interest rates by reducing the Federal Government's demand for 
credit and by convincing the markets of our resolve in reducing 
deficits. Those lower interest rates encouraged businesses to invest, 
and convinced families to buy new homes and automobiles, along with 
other durable goods.


                               investment

  Second, we proposed, and Congress largely provided, a set of fully 
paid-for measures to encourage private investment (beyond the 
inducement provided by deficit reduction) and commit public investment 
to our country's future. The first component was making nine out of ten 
businesses eligible for tax incentives to invest in future growth--
including a major expansion of the expensing allowance for small 
businesses and a new capital gains incentive for long-term investments 
in new businesses.
  The second component was public investment in the future: in 
infrastructure, technology, skills, and security. These investments are 
directed toward preparing today's workers and our children for the new, 
higher-paying jobs of the modern economy; repairing and expanding our 
transportation and environment infrastructure; fighting crime; 
expanding our Nation's technological base; and increasing our health 
and scientific research.
  Among other things, we greatly expanded the very successful Head 
Start program and WIC nutrition program for pregnant women, infants, 
and young children; provided a major increase to fulfill the mandate of 
the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) 
authorization; provided initial funding for the National Service Act 
and new funding for educational reforms and other education and 
training initiatives; began the process of fulfilling my goal of 
putting another 100,000 police officers on the streets of our cities 
and towns; and provided additional resources for urban and rural 
development.


                                 trade

  Finally, our long-term economic strategy depends on the expansion of 
our international trade markets. In 1993, we did more than at any time 
in the past two generations to open world markets for American 
products. The ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement 
(NAFTA) establishes the largest market in the world. By lowering 
tariffs on our exports to Mexico, the agreement is going to increase 
jobs in this country--and, if previous experience is a guide, they will 
mostly be high-paying jobs.
  We also completed work on the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement 
on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), a worldwide agreement to reduce tariffs 
and other trade barriers that will also create high-paying jobs and 
spur economic growth in this country.
  In addition, we established the U.S.-Japan Framework for a New 
Economic Partnership so that we can work to increase Japanese imports 
of U.S. goods and services and promote international competitiveness. 
And to relieve unnecessary burdens on U.S. businesses, we eliminated 
unneeded export controls on certain technology to encourage exports of 
U.S. high-technology products.


                             the year ahead

  In 1994, we will build on the strong foundation we laid in 1993.


                           fiscal discipline

  We continue to implement the $500 billion in deficit reduction from 
last year's reconciliation bill. To achieve the required hard freeze in 
discretionary spending and make needed investments, we propose new cuts 
in some 300 specific non-defense programs. That includes the 
termination of more than 100 programs. Many of these savings will be 
controversial, but we have little choice if we are going to meet our 
budget goals.
  On the other side of the ledger, this budget contains no new tax 
increases.


                             new investment

  The investments in this budget continue to target jobs, education, 
research, technology, infrastructure, health, and crime.
  Investing in people. First and foremost, the goal of our economic 
strategy is to provide more and better paying jobs for our people--both 
today and in the future--and to educate and train them so that they are 
prepared to do those jobs.
  The budget contains a major workforce security initiative to promote 
job training and reemployment. In the past, government has provided 
workers who lost their jobs with temporary unemployment benefits to 
tide them over, and little else. But in this new era, when the 
fundamental restructuring of our economy is causing permanent layoffs 
and the virtual shutdown of entire industries, we need to create a 
reemployment system.
  This budget begins the process of establishing that system, which 
ultimately will give dislocated workers easier access to retraining, 
job-search, and other services designed not only to help them through a 
difficult period but also to prepare them to thrive in productive, new 
jobs.
  We also continue to invest in our most precious resource--our 
children--with proven, effective programs, as well as with new 
initiatives to confront the problems of a changing society.
  We propose to expand funding for the school-to-work program, which 
will provide apprenticeship training for high school students who do 
not plan to attend college. And our budget expands the national service 
program, which gives our young people an opportunity to serve their 
communities and earn money towards college.
  We provide strong support for the Goals 2000 program, which I hope 
Congress will enact early this year, to help local school systems 
reform themselves to educate our children for the 21st century. We must 
set high standards for all of our children, while providing them with 
the opportunity they deserve to learn.
  We also provide major increases for WIC and for Head Start, which we 
will seek to improve as well. And we significantly expand and better 
target the Title I program, which focuses on needy children to make 
sure they can take full advantage of our educational system.
  Investing in know-how. America has always sought to be the world's 
leader in science and technology. In some arenas in recent years, we 
have lost that status. But in the remainder of this decade and in the 
21st century, we must be sure that the United States is on the cutting 
edge of research and technology advances.
  To that end, the 1995 budget proposes critical investments in the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology's Advanced Technology 
Program; NASA's research, space, and technology programs; the National 
Science Foundation; the information superhighway, on which the Vice 
President has worked so hard; and energy research and development.
  In addition, I am determined to continue assisting the industries and 
communities which have supported our Nation's defense as we continue 
the defense downsizing that began in the mid-1980's and accelerated in 
the early 1990's with the end of the Cold War.
  I am proposing significant investments in the Technology Reinvestment 
Project, which will work with the private sector to encourage the 
development and application of dual-use technologies. And the budget 
also includes additional resources for the Office of Economic 
Adjustment, which provides planning grants to communities as they 
convert their local economies to profitable peacetime endeavors.
  Investing in physical capital. The Nation's capital infrastructure 
and the economies of too many urban and rural communities have suffered 
too long from neglect. Last year, we began to address these shortfalls, 
and in 1995, we propose to continue these initiatives.
  We propose, first, to continue full funding of core highway programs 
within the ISTEA transportation authorization act, as well as a 
substantial increase in Mass Transit Capital Grants. To help provide 
this level of funding, the budget proposes rescission of many highway 
demonstration projects, which frequently are an inefficient allocation 
of taxpayers' dollars.
  In addition, we propose to continue the restoration of our 
environmental infrastructure with investments in the technologies of 
the future under the Clean Water Act and other environmental programs.
  Last year, we enacted legislation 
to     establish      urban      and      rural 
Empowerment Zones. This year, we will designate those zones, as well as 
enterprise communities, to attract investment to neglected communities

[[Page 60]]

and provide the kinds of services needed to support economic 
development.
  In this budget, HUD outlays for housing assistance, services to the 
homeless, and development aid to distressed communities will increase 
substantially, with aid to the homeless nearly doubling from the 
previous year. Both housing aid to families and aid to the homeless 
will be restructured to support transitions to economic independence.
  I also propose to continue our rural development initiative, with 
grants and loans that represent a 35-percent increase over the previous 
year. This assistance will provide for improved rural infrastructure 
and services, such as water treatment facilities and rural health 
clinics, increase rural employment, further diversify rural economies, 
and provide rural housing opportunities by expanding assistance to 
allow low- and moderate-income residents to become homeowners.
  Investing in quality of life. This budget continues our efforts to 
enhance environmental protection and preserve our natural resources.
  We propose both to strengthen the stewardship of these resources and 
improve environmental regulatory and management programs. We increase 
state revolving funds for clean water and drinking water, and we 
propose the establishment of four ecosystem management pilot projects. 
In addition, we are proposing significant improvements and reforms in 
the Superfund program, as well as important international environmental 
initiatives.


                           health care reform

  Enactment of health care reform, with its focus on controlling health 
care costs, is the key to making even greater progress on deficits. 
Indeed, if the Congress adopts the Health Security Act in 1994, we 
believe that deficits will fall to 2.1 percent of GDP in fiscal year 
1999, the lowest since 1979.
  Of course, deficit reduction is only one reason for health care 
reform. Providing health security to every American, with a package of 
comprehensive benefits through private health insurance that can never 
be taken away, is critical not only to long-term budget restraint but 
also to long-term economic growth, to the productivity of our workers 
and businesses, and to the health and peace of mind of all Americans.
  With some 58 million Americans lacking insurance at some time during 
the year; with the estimated 81 million Americans with preexisting 
conditions paying more, unable to get insurance, or not changing jobs 
for fear of losing their insurance; with the small businesses that 
cover their workers--and a majority do--burdened by the skyrocketing 
cost of insurance, which is 35 percent higher for them than it is for 
big business and government; and with 76 percent of Americans carrying 
policies that contain lifetime limits, which can leave them without 
coverage when they need it most--this country is fac- 
ing a health care crisis. And we must confront it now.
  In addition to our health care reform effort, the 1995 budget 
contains key investments in health care and research. We propose the 
largest increase ever requested in research funds for the National 
Institutes of Health. This national treasure not only keeps our Nation 
in the forefront of health research but has demonstrably saved millions 
of lives and improved the quality of millions more. The additional 
investment we propose will help NIH with its research in many areas, 
from AIDS to heart problems, from mental health to breast cancer.


                             welfare reform

  A major initiative for my Administration has been and will continue 
to be overhauling our welfare system. We must reward work, we must give 
people the wherewithal to work, and we must demand responsibility.
  Welfare reform has already begun. The first step with the expansion 
of the Earned Income Tax Credit last year. That expansion rewards work 
by ensuring that families with a full-time worker will not live in 
poverty.
  The second stage of welfare reform is health care reform. Our current 
health care system often encourages those on welfare to stay there in 
order to receive health insurance through Medicaid. When we require 
that every worker be insured, that disincentive to work will disappear.
  The next element of welfare reform is personal responsibility. Our 
welfare reform plan will include initiatives to prevent teen pregnancy, 
ensure that parents fulfill their child support obligations, and try to 
keep people from going on welfare in the first place. We must remember 
this: governments do not raise children, parents do.
  The ultimate goal of our reforms is to have our people rely on work, 
not on welfare. Our plan will build on the Family Support Act by 
providing education, training, and job search and placement for those 
who need it; it will require people who can work to do so within two 
years, either in the private sector or community service; it will 
restore the basic social contract of providing opportunity and 
demanding responsibility in return.


                                 crime

  Enactment of the crime bill now being considered in the Congress is 
also essential, and it should happen quickly. We simply cannot tolerate 
what is happening in the streets of our cities and towns today. Crime 
and violence, the proliferation of handguns and assault weapons, the 
fear that millions of Americans feel when they emerge from their homes 
at night--and even in the daytime--must be confronted head-on.
  We need to toughen enforcement, and we need to provide our local 
governments with the resources they need to take on the epidemic of 
violent crime. The crime bill will provide substantial resources, 
enough to fulfill my commitment to put 100,000 additional po- 
lice on our streets. This budget funds major pieces of the crime bill, 
and I urge the Congress not only to approve the authorizing legislation 
but to provide the financial resources to back it up.


                   defense and international affairs

  Profound shifts are taking place in America's foreign relations and 
defense requirements. When we came into office, we faced dramatically 
changed international conditions and problems, but we inherited foreign 
and defense policies and institutions still geared, in many ways, to 
the conditions and needs of the Cold War.
  This budget reflects the major changes we are carrying out in the 
content, direction, and institutions which ensure that our interests 
are defended abroad. We are committed to remaining engaged in a world 
inextricably linked by trade and global communications. The nature of 
that engagement is changing, however.
  We remain committed to maintaining the best trained, best equipped 
and best prepared fighting force in the world. Thanks to our 1993 
Bottom-Up Review of defense, this force is being reshaped to meet the 
new challenges of the post-Cold War era. We can maintain our national 
security with the forces approved in the Bottom-Up Review, but we must 
hold the line against further defense cuts, in order to protect fully 
the readiness and quality of our forces.
  We have put our economic competitiveness at the heart of our foreign 
policy, as we must in a global economy. We are following the success of 
NAFTA and GATT with further market-opening negotiations and intensified 
focus on the promotion of U.S. exports. We are paying particular 
attention to the Asian and Pacific markets, which have the most dynamic 
growth of any region in the world.
  We are dedicated to the enlargement of the community of free market 
democracies, both as a way of ensuring greater security and as a way of 
expanding economic opportunity. Our programs for the New Independent 
States of Europe and Central Asia are the centerpiece of this effort.
  We are responding aggressively to the new international security 
challenges that face us: regional conflicts, the proliferation of 
weapons of mass destruction, the movement of refugees, and the 
international flow of illegal narcotics. And we are addressing threats 
to the global environment and rapid population growth with a program to 
promote sustainable development.
  Finally, we are fundamentally reforming and restructuring our 
international cooperation programs, giving an entirely new post-Cold 
War structure to our efforts by rewriting the basic legislation that 
has guided such programs for more than thirty years.


                      National Performance Review

  The Vice President's National Performance Review (NPR) has paved the

[[Page 61]]

way for major reforms of how our government works, which are essential 
to making government more efficient and responsible. Last year, we 
began implementing its recommendations. With this budget, that effort 
shifts into high gear.
  First, this budget implements the reduction by 100,000 of Federal 
positions required by my Executive Order of last year. Indeed, because 
of discretionary spending constraints, our proposals actually exceed 
that total by 18,000. In addition, planning has begun on the further 
downsizing that will be required to implement the remaining portion of 
the 252,000-position personnel reduction recommended by the NPR. With 
this downsizing, we will bring the number of Federal employees to the 
lowest level in thirty years.
  To reach these goals, we need to be able to offer incentive packages 
to those whose positions will be eliminated. This is one of our highest 
legislative priorities, and it requires attention now. These ``buy-
out'' packages will minimize the need for more costly reductions in 
force, are less disruptive since they are voluntary, and save the 
government money in the long run.
  The time also has come for swift passage of procurement reform, 
another of our highest priorities. Streamlining procurement is 
essential to meeting our personnel downsizing targets. And overhaul of 
the current, wasteful system can give us significant savings, as well 
as improved performance by government suppliers.
  Further, this budget contains many of the specific programmatic 
savings proposed by the NPR. These savings have been used in large part 
to help us meet the discretionary spending freeze.
  With my executive order last year, we also began the process of 
reforming one of the basic functions of government--the regulatory 
process. Regulations are often necessary to improve the health, safety, 
environment, and well-being of the American people. Our goal is a more 
open, more fair, and more honest process that produces smart 
regulation: rules that impose the least burden and provide the most 
cost-effective solutions possible.
  Finally, all of our departments and agencies have begun to reform 
their basic operations, including their financial and other 
administrative practices.
  The goal of the NPR is to make government work better and cost less--
and to make it more convenient and responsive to those it serves. That 
is not something that can be completed in one year, in four, or even 
eight. But we have a responsibility to begin, and that we have done.


                               conclusion

  These are the priorities I seek to pursue in the coming year. Last 
year, we succeeded in breaking the gridlock that had gripped Washington 
for far too long. In contrast to past budgets, which lacked 
credibility, we made sure to use cautious estimates, and we shot 
straight with the American people.
  The results are evident.
  We said we would bring the deficit down, and we did. We said we would 
revitalize the economy, and we did. We said that we would help the 
private sector to create jobs, and we did. We said that we would reduce 
the size of the bureaucracy, and we did.
  Last year, my Administration and the Congress worked side by side to 
move our country forward. Let us extend that record of achievement in 
1994.

Para. 6.6  message from the president--impoundment control

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SKELTON, 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 Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control 
Act of 1974, I herewith report one revised deferral of budget authority, 
totaling $1.6 billion, three revised rescission proposals, and 27 new 
proposed rescissions of budget authority. The total of the rescission 
proposals included in this special message is $1.6 billion. When 
combined with rescissions that went to the Congress on November 1, 1993, 
there are $3.2 billion in rescissions pending before the Congress.
  The details of the revised deferral, which affects International 
Security Assistance, are contained in the attached report. The proposed 
rescissions affect International Security Assistance Programs; the 
Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Housing and Urban 
Development, State, Transportation, and the Treasury; the General 
Services Administration; the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration; the Board for International Broadcasting; the National 
Science Foundation; and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

     ``SEC. 2. FINDINGS, PURPOSES, AND POLICY.''.

       (b) Findings.--Section 2(a) (29 U.S.C. 2201(a)) is amended 
     to read as follows:
       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(1) Disability is a natural part of the human experience 
     and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to--
       ``(A) live independently;
       ``(B) enjoy self-determination;
       ``(C) make choices;
       ``(D) pursue meaningful careers; and
       ``(E) enjoy full inclusion and integration in the economic, 
     political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of 
     American society.
       ``(2) During the past decade, there have been major 
     advances in modern technology. Technology is now a powerful 
     force in the lives of all residents of the United States. 
     Technology can provide important tools for making the 
     performance of tasks quicker and easier.
       ``(3) For some individuals with disabilities, assistive 
     technology devices and assistive technology services are 
     necessary to enable the individuals--
       ``(A) to have greater control over their lives;
       ``(B) to participate in, and contribute more fully to, 
     activities in their home, school, and work environments, and 
     in their communities;
       ``(C) to interact to a greater extent with individuals who 
     do not have disabilities; and
       ``(D) to otherwise benefit from opportunities that are 
     taken for granted by individuals who do not have 
     disabilities.
       ``(4) Substantial progress has been made in the development 
     of assistive technology devices, including adaptations to 
     existing equipment, that significantly benefit individuals 
     with disabilities of all ages. Such devices can be used to 
     increase the involvement of such individuals in, and reduce 
     expenditures associated with, programs and activities such as 
     early intervention, education, rehabilitation and training, 
     employment, residential living, independent living, 
     recreation, and other aspects of daily living.
       ``(5) Most States have technology-related assistance 
     programs carried out under this Act. In spite of the efforts 
     made by such programs, there remains a need to support 
     systems change and advocacy activities in order to assist 
     States to develop and implement consumer-responsive, 
     comprehensive statewide programs of technology-related 
     assistance for individuals with disabilities of all ages.
       ``(6) Notwithstanding the efforts of such State technology-
     related assistance programs, there is still a lack of--
       ``(A) resources to pay for assistive technology devices and 
     assistive technology services;
       ``(B) trained personnel to assist individuals with 
     disabilities to use such devices and services;
       ``(C) information among individuals with disabilities and 
     their family members, guardians, advocates, and authorized 
     representatives, individuals who work for public agencies, or 
     for private entities (including insurers), that have contact 
     with individuals with disabilities, educators and related 
     service personnel, technology experts (including engineers), 
     employers, and other appropriate individuals about the 
     availability and potential of technology for individuals with 
     disabilities;
       ``(D) aggressive outreach to underrepresented populations 
     and rural populations;
       ``(E) systems that ensure timely acquisition and delivery 
     of assistive technology devices and assistive technology 
     services, particularly with respect to children;
       ``(F) coordination among State human services programs, and 
     between such programs and private entities, particularly with 
     respect to transitions between such programs and entities; 
     and
       ``(G) capacity in such programs to provide the necessary 
     technology-related assistance.
       ``(7) Many individuals with disabilities cannot access 
     existing telecommunications and information technologies and 
     are at risk of not being able to access developing 
     technologies. The failure of Federal and State governments, 
     hardware manufacturers, software designers, information 
     systems managers, and telecommunications service providers to 
     account for the specific needs of individuals with 
     disabilities results in the exclusion of such individuals 
     from the use of telecommunications and information 
     technologies and results in unnecessary costs associated with 
     the retrofitting of devices and product systems.
       ``(8) There are insufficient incentives for the commercial 
     pursuit of the application of technology devices to meet the 
     needs of individuals with disabilities, because of the 
     perception that such individuals constitute a limited market.
       ``(9) At the Federal level, there is a lack of coordination 
     among agencies that provide or pay for the provision of

Para. 8.5  providing for the consideration of h.r. 811

  Mr. DERRICK, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 352):

       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. 811) to reauthorize the independent counsel 
     law for an additional five years, 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 section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
     are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and 
     the amendments made in order by this resolution and shall not 
     exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the 
     Judiciary. 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 the 
     Judiciary now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in 
     the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. 
     Points of order against the committee amendment in the nature 
     of a substitute for failure to comply with section 302(f) of 
     the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 or clause 5(a) of rule 
     XXI are waived. 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 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 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 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. 811, is shall 
     be in order to take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 24 
     and to consider the Senate bill in the House. All points of 
     order against the Senate bill and against its consideration 
     are waived. It shall 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. 811 as passed by the House. 
     All points of order against that motion are waived. If the 
     motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, 
     then it shall be in order to move that the House insist on 
     its amendments to S. 24 and request a conference with the 
     Senate thereon. 

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. DERRICK moved the previous question on the resolution to its 
adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now order the previous question?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. LaROCCO, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. GOSS objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.

     counsel. The independent counsel should also strongly 
     consider exercising the authority of section 3372 of title 5

     subsection prosecutors of State or local governments. In 
     order to carry out the preceding sentence, each independent

     in addition to any penalty provided in section 798 of title 
     18 or any other law that may apply.''.

     such counsel shall apply to the division of the court for

     subsection (b)(2). If the court determines that such office 
     will not be terminated under such subsection, the court shall 
     reappoint the applicant if the court determines that such 
     applicant remains the appropriate person to carry out the 
     duties of the office. If not, the court shall appoint some

     set forth in section 593 of this title. If the court has not

     independent counsel, or appointing another person under 
     subsection (c), to replace the individual involved who is 
     unable or unwilling to so relocate.
     An employee making a certification or recertification under

     official certifying a voucher is liable under section 3528 of 
     title 31.''.

     Section 594(c) of title 28, United States Code, is amended by

     paragraph (2). The independent counsel shall certify the 
     number of copies necessary for the public, and the Public 
     Printer shall place the cost of the required number to the

     596(b)(2) of title 28, United States Code, is amended by

     States Code, if the employee were entitled to payment under 
     such section; or
       (B) $25,000;

       (4) shall not be taken into account in determining the 
     amount of any severance pay to which an employee may be 
     entitled under section 5595 of title 5, United States Code,

     payment.
       (2) Waiver authority.--
       (A) Executive agency.--If the employment is with an

Para. 9.33  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to libya

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. CHAPMAN, 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 July 12, 1993, concerning the national emergency with respect 
to Libya that was declared in Executive Order No. 12543 of January 7, 
1986. This report is submitted pursuant to section 401(c) of the 
National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1641(c); section 204(c) of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (``IEEPA''), 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).
  1. On December 3, 1993, I announced new measures to tighten economic 
sanctions against Libya. These measures are taken pursuant to the 
imposition by the world community of new sanctions against Libya under 
Security Council (``UNSC'') Resolution 883 of November 11, 1993, and are 
designed to bring to justice the perpetrators of terrorist attacks 
against Pan Am flight 103 and UTA flight 772. The actions signal that 
Libya cannot continue to defy justice and flout the will of the 
international community with impunity.
  UNSC Resolution 883 freezes on a worldwide basis certain financial 
assets owned or controlled by the Government of Libya or certain Libyan 
entities and bans provision of equipment for refining and transporting 
oil. It tightens the international air embargo and other measures 
imposed in 1992 under UNSC Resolution 748. It is the result of close 
cooperation between the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, 
whose citizens were the principal victims of Libyan-sponsored terrorist 
attacks against Pan Am 103 and UTA 772, and of consultations with Russia 
and other friends and allies.
  On December 2, 1993, I renewed for another year the national 
emergency with respect to Libya pursuant to IEEPA. This renewal extends 
the current comprehensive financial and trade embargo against Libya in 
effect since 1986. Under these sanctions, all trade with Libya is 
prohibited, and all assets owned or controlled by the Libyan Government 
in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons 
are blocked. In addition, I have instructed the Secretary of Commerce 
to reinforce our current trade embargo against Libya by prohibiting the 
re-export from foreign countries to Libya of U.S.-origin products, 
including equipment for refining and transporting oil.
  2. There has been one amendment to the Libyan Sanctions Regulations, 
31 C.F.R. Part 550 (the ``Regulations''), administered by the Office of 
Foreign Assets Control (``FAC'') of the Department of the Treasury, 
since my last report on July 12, 1993. The amendment (58 Fed. Reg. 
47643) requires U.S. financial institutions to provide written 
notification to FAC of any transfers into blocked accounts within 10 
days of each transfer. It also standardizes registration and reporting 
requirements applicable to all persons holding blocked property and 
requires the annual designation of an individual contact responsible 
for maintaining the property in a blocked status. A copy of the 
amendment is attached to this report.
  3. During the current 6-month period, FAC made numerous decisions 
with respect to applications for licenses to engage in transactions 
under the regulations, issuing 65 licensing determinations--both 
approvals and denials. Consistent with FAC's ongoing scrutiny of 
banking transactions, the largest category of license approvals (17) 
concerned requests by non-Libyan persons or entities to unblock bank 
accounts initially blocked because of an apparent Libyan interest. One 
license involved export transactions from the United States to support 
a United Nations program in Libya. Six licenses were issued authorizing 
intellectual property protection in Libya. Two licenses were issued 
that permit U.S. attorneys to provide legal representation under 
circumstances permitted by the regulations. FAC has also issued one 
license authorizing U.S. landlords to liquidate the personality of the 
People's Committee for Libyan Students, with the net proceeds from the 
sale paid into blocked accounts. Finally, FAC has issued three licenses 
to the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, as Protecting Power for 
Libya, to manage Libyan property in the United States subject to 
stringent FAC reporting requirements.

  4. During the current 6-month period, FAC has continued to emphasize 
to the international banking community in the United States the 
importance of identifying and blocking payments made by or on behalf of 
Libya. The FAC worked closely with the banks to implement new 
interdiction software systems to identify such payments. As a result, 
during the reporting period, more than 130 transactions involving 
Libya, totaling more than $20.7 million, were blocked.
  Since my last report, FAC has collected 39 civil monetary penalties 
totaling nearly $277,000 for violations of U.S. sanctions against 
Libya. All but 8 of the violations involved the failure of banks to 
block funds transfers to Libyan-owned or controlled banks, with 5 of 
the remainder involving the U.S. companies that ordered the funds 
transfers. The balance involved one case each for violations involving 
a letter of credit, trademark registrations, and export transactions.
  Various enforcement actions carried over from previous reporting 
periods have continued to be aggressively pursued. Several new 
investigations of potentially significant violations of the Libyan 
sanctions have been initiated by FAC and cooperating U.S. law 
enforcement agencies. Many of these cases are believed to involve 
complex conspiracies to circumvent the various prohibitions of the 
Libyan sanctions, as well as the utilization of international 
diversionary shipping routes to and from Libya. FAC continued to work 
closely with the Departments of State and Justice to identify U.S. 
persons who enter into contracts or agreements with the Government of 
Libya, or other third-country parties, to lobby U.S. Government 
officials and to engage in public relations work on behalf of the 
Government of Libya without FAC authorization.
  FAC also continued its efforts under the Operation Roadblock 
initiative. This ongoing program seeks to identify U.S. persons who 
travel to and/or work in Libya in violation of U.S. law.
  FAC has continued to pursue the investigation and identification of 
Libyan entities as Specially Designated Nationals of Libya. During the 
reporting period, those activities have resulted in the addition of one 
third-country Libyan bank to the Specially Designated Nationals list; 
and FAC has intervened with respect to a Libyan takeover attempt of 
another foreign bank. FAC Is also reviewing options for additional 
measures directed against Libyan assets in order to ensure strict 
implementation of UNSC Resolution 883 that has imposed international 
sanctions against Libyan financial assets.
  5. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from July 7, 1993, through January 6, 1994, that are directly 
attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the 
declaration of the Libyan national emergency are estimated at 
approximately $1 million. Personnel costs were largely centered in the 
Department of the Treasury (particularly in the Office of Foreign 
Assets Control,

[[Page 95]]

the Office of the General Counsel, and the U.S. Customs Service), the 
Department of State, and the Department of Commerce.
  6. The policies and actions of the Government of Libya continue to 
pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and 
foreign policy of the United States. The United States continues to 
believe that still stronger international measures than those mandated 
by UNSC Resolution 883, including a worldwide oil embargo, should be 
enacted if Libya continues to defy the international community. We 
remain determined to ensure the perpetrators of the terrorist acts 
against Pan Am 103 and UTA 772 are brought to justice. The families of 
the victims in the murderous Lockerbie bombing and other acts of Libyan 
terrorism deserve nothing less. I shall continue to exercise the powers 
at my disposal to apply economic sanctions against Libya fully and 
effectively, so long as those measures are appropriate, and will 
continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant 
developments as required by law.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, February 10, 1994.

  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. 103-208).

     make such payment.''.
       (d) The amendments made by this section shall be effective 
     on and after October 1, 1992.
       Sec. 2002. (a) The Senate finds that--
       (1) historically it is the policy of the Federal Government 
     to provide financial and other assistance to the victims of 
     natural disasters;
       (2) since fiscal year 1988, the Congress has enacted 6 
     major disaster relief supplemental appropriations Acts 
     providing a total of $17,012,000,000 in budget authority for 
     Federal disaster assistance for domestic disasters;
       (3) the provision of Federal disaster assistance reflects 
     the traditions and values of the American people who have 
     always been willing to provide help to those who have been 
     victimized by catastrophic events and forces beyond their 
     control;
       (4) the unprecedented growth in the cost of disaster 
     assistance needs to be reconciled with the restraints imposed 
     on discretionary spending and with the deficit reduction 
     goals of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 and the Omnibus 
     Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, under which significant 
     progress is being made in reducing the Federal deficit; and
       (5) a prospective policy should be developed for 
     anticipating and funding disaster needs and other emergencies 
     in keeping with continuing fiscal constraints on the Federal 
     Government.
       (b) It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) there should be established in the Senate a Bipartisan 
     Task Force on Funding Disaster Relief; and
       (2) the Task Force should--
       (A) consult with the Senate committees with jurisdiction 
     over disaster relief programs;
       (B) compile information on the history of Federal disaster 
     relief and recovery funding;
       (C) evaluate the types and amounts of Federal financial 
     assistance provided to individuals, State and local 
     governments, and nonprofit organizations after disaster 
     strike, as well as relevant insurance coverage and loss 
     experience;
       (D) consider the relationship between funding disaster 
     relief and complying with the deficit control requirements of 
     the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, the Omnibus Budget 
     Reconciliation Act of 1993, and other deficit control 
     provisions enacted prior to 1990; and
       (E) report its findings, options, and recommendations to 
     the Senate with regard to the consideration of future 
     disaster assistance funding requests prior to the convening 
     of the 104th Congress.
       Sec. 2003. (a) Amendment to Title 31.--Section 301(d) of 
     title 31, United States Code, is amended by inserting ``an 
     Under Secretary of Enforcement,'' after ``2 Under 
     Secretaries,''.
       (b) Amendment to Title 5.--Section 5314 of title 5, United 
     States Code, is amended by striking ``Under Secretary of the 
     Treasury (or Counselor).'' and striking ``Under Secretary of 
     the Treasury for Monetary Affairs.'' and inserting in lieu 
     thereof, ``Under Secretaries of the Treasury (3).''.

Para. 10.14  question of order of the house

  Mr. GEPHARDT, rose and said:
  ``Following my unamious consent request to put in place an agreed upon 
format for recognitions to address the House during a ninety day trial 
period beginning February 23, 1994, including a ``morning hour'' debate, 
an ``Oxford style'' debate and restriction on special order speeches, 
the Speaker will announce his guidelines for recognition. In so doing it 
is stipulated that the establishment of this format for recognition by 
the Speaker is without prejudice to the Speaker's ultimate power of 
recognition under clause 1, rule XIV, should circumstances so warrant.''
  Accordingly,
  On motion of Mr. GEPHARDT, by unamious consent,
  Ordered, That the special orders previously granted by the House to 
address the House on dates through May 23, 1994, be vacated;
  Ordered further, That during the period beginning February 23, 1994, 
and for ninety days thereafter, on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week the 
House convene ninety minutes earlier than the time otherwise established 
by order of the House solely for the purpose of conducting ``morning 
hour'' debates to be followed by a recess declared by the Speaker 
pursuant to clause 12, rule I, under the following conditions:
  (1) Prayer by the Chaplain, approval of the Journal and the pledge of 
allegiance to the flag to be postposed until the resumption of the House 
session following the completion of morning hour debate;
  (2) Debate to be limited not to exceed thirty minutes allocated to 
each party, with initial and subsequent recognition alternating daily 
between parties to be conferred by the Speaker only pursuant to lists 
submitted by the Majority Leader and Minority Leader, respectively (no 
Member on such lists to be permitted to address the House for longer 
than five minutes except for the Majority Leader and the Minority 
Leader); and
  Ordered further, That on every third Wednesday, beginning on a day to 
be designated by the Speaker and mutually agreed upon by the Majority 
Leader and Minority Leader, it shall be in order, at a time to be 
determined by the Speaker, for the Speaker to recognize the Majority 
Leader and Minority Leader (or their designees), jointly, for a period 
of not to exceed two hours, for the purpose of holding a structured 
debate. The topic of the debate, when mutually agreed upon by the 
Majority Leader and Minority Leader, shall be announced by the Speaker. 
The format of the debate, which shall allow for participation by four 
Members of the Majority party and four from the Minority party in the 
House, chosen by their respective party leaders, with specified times 
for presentations and rebuttals by all participants, and periods of 
questioning of each Member by others participating, shall be announced 
to the House by the Speaker.
  Thereupon,
  The SPEAKER announced that with respect to special orders to address 
the House for up to one hour at the conclusion of legislative business 
or on days when no legislative business is scheduled, the Chair 
announces that:
  (1) On Tuesday, following legislative business, there will be an 
unlimited period of special orders (not extending beyond midnight), with 
recognition for five-minutes and then for longer special orders 
alternating between the parties and with initial recognition (for longer 
special orders) rotating on a daily basis between the parties, and with 
the first hour of recognition on each side reserved to the House 
leadership (Majority Leader and Whip and Minority Leader or their 
designees);
  (2) On Mondays, Wednesdays (except those Wednesdays when ``Oxford 
style'' debates are in order), Thursdays and Fridays, the Chair will 
recognize Members from each party for up to two hours of special order 
debate at the conclusion of legislative business and five minute special 
orders, or when no legislative business is scheduled (not extending 
beyond midnight), again with initial recognition alternating between the 
parties on a daily basis and with the allocation of time within each two 
hour period (or shorter period if prorated to end by midnight) to be 
determined by a list submitted to the Chair by the House leadership 
(Majority Leader and Whip and Minority Leader or designees), 
respectively, and with the first hour of recognition on each side 
reserved to the House leadership (Majority Leader and Whip and Minority 
Leader or their designees). (Members will be limited to signing up for 
all such special orders no earlier than one week prior to the special 
order, and additional guidelines may be established for such sign-ups by 
the Majority and Minority Leaders, respectively). One minute speeches on 
those days both prior to and at the conclusion of legislative business 
shall be at the discretion of the Speaker.
  (3) Pursuant to clause 9(b)(1) of rule I, during this trial period the 
television cameras will not pan the chamber, but a ``crawl'' indicating 
Morning Hour or that the House has completed its legislative business 
and is proceeding with special order speeches will appear on the screen. 
Other television camera adaptations during this period may be announced 
by the Chair; and
  (4) Special orders to extend beyond the four hour period may be 
permitted at the discretion of the Chair with advance consultation 
between the leaderships and notification to the House.

Para. 11.10  u.s. involvement in the south pacific

  Mr. FALEOMAVAEGA moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 180); as amended: 

       Whereas the United States has strong and enduring economic, 
     political, and strategic ties with the South Pacific region, 
     which are integral to the achievement of a New Pacific 
     Community;
       Whereas the countries of the region play a constructive 
     international role, were supportive of the United States 
     throughout the Cold War and continue to support its role in 
     ensuring regional stability and security, and share a 
     commitment to democratic values, free-markets, and human 
     rights;
       Whereas the United States is geographically and 
     historically a member of the Pacific community and has unique 
     relationships with, and responsibilities to, its Pacific 
     Island territories, freely associated states, and former 
     territories;
       Whereas the United States has significant and expanding 
     commercial interests in the South Pacific and enjoys a 
     substantial trade surplus with countries of the region, and 
     the promotion of commercial links between the United States 
     and countries of the region is welcomed as providing a 
     necessary foundation for future economic well-being;
       Whereas the region's fisheries resources are of vital 
     importance to the economic well-being of Pacific Island 
     countries and have provided lucrative commercial 
     opportunities for the United States fishing industry, and the 
     effective management of these resources and the continued 
     functioning of the South Pacific Fisheries Treaty are 
     essential;
       Whereas the United States has been welcomed as a member of 
     South Pacific regional organizations, including the South 
     Pacific Commission and the South Pacific Regional 
     Environmental Program, and as a dialogue partner of the South 
     Pacific Forum;
       Whereas environmental issues can bear directly on the 
     economic and physical security of countries in the South 
     Pacific region, have the potential to effect the well-being 
     of United States citizens in the Pacific region, and can only 
     be dealt with effectively at the regional and global level;
       Whereas peoples of the South Pacific have actively 
     contributed to the development of a peaceful international 
     community through their constructive participation in 
     international forums, including the United Nations and its 
     peacekeeping operations, and through support for the South 
     Pacific Nuclear Free Zone, the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and the Chemical Weapons 
     Convention;
       Whereas United States leadership in extending its nuclear 
     testing moratorium is warmly welcomed by countries of the 
     South Pacific, and countries of the South Pacific have shown 
     understanding for United States efforts to dispose of its 
     chemical weapons stockpile while emphasizing the importance 
     of the United States commitment to close the Johnston Atoll 
     Chemical Agent Destruction System when the current program of 
     chemical weapons and agent destruction is completed;
       Whereas there has been only one Heads-of-Government summit 
     involving the President of the United States and Pacific 
     Island leaders, and there is considerable value in dialogue 
     at a senior political level with all countries of the region;

[[Page 111]]

       Whereas the United States has reduced its diplomatic 
     presence in the South Pacific to a minimum, the Agency for 
     International Development is closing posts in the region, and 
     the current very modest program of United States foreign 
     assistance to Pacific Island countries may be reduced; and
       Whereas the United States has an opportunity to bolster its 
     links with the Pacific Island countries through the 
     negotiation of a Joint Declaration of Cooperation: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) it is in the national interest for the United States to 
     remain actively engaged in the South Pacific region as a 
     means of supporting the important United States commercial 
     and strategic interests, and to encourage the consolidation 
     of democratic values;
       (2) the United States should encourage economic, trade, and 
     investment relationships with the countries of the South 
     Pacific, in particular through the Joint Commercial 
     Commission and its working group, and through other Asia/
     Pacific regional forums;
       (3) the United States should seek to maintain its 
     diplomatic presence in the South Pacific region;
       (4) notwithstanding current fiscal constraints, the 
     executive branch, particularly the Department of State, 
     should work actively with the Congress to continue the very 
     modest levels of foreign assistance provided to the region 
     and to encourage the active participation in the region of 
     other international donors;
       (5) the United States has interests in preserving the 
     natural resources and biodiversity of the South Pacific 
     region, and is uniquely positioned to promote sustainable 
     development through active participation in the South Pacific 
     Regional Environmental Program and the United Nations Global 
     Conference for the Sustainable Development of Small Island 
     States and through implementation of the Biodiversity and 
     Climate Conventions;
       (6) the United States should cooperate closely with 
     regional governments to strengthen sustainable management 
     principles and practices as they apply to the region's 
     fisheries resources;
       (7) the United States should avail itself of the 
     opportunity for contact with leaders of all South Pacific 
     countries through regular Ministerial/Cabinet level meetings, 
     including at the South Pacific Forum dialogue, to ensure that 
     the views of regional governments are given consideration in 
     policy deliberations; and
       (8) the United States should take an active interest in the 
     proposed Joint Declaration of Cooperation between the United 
     States and certain Pacific Island governments as an 
     opportunity for the United States to renew its commitment to 
     the region.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, recognized Mr. FALEOMAVAEGA 
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, as amended?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MONTGOMERY, announced that two-thirds of 
the Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  So, two-thirds of the Members present having voted in favor thereof, 
the rules were suspended and said concurrent resolution, as amended, was 
agreed to.
  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. 11.12  message from the president--radiation control

  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:
  In accordance with section 540 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (21 U.S.C. 360qq) (previously section 360D of the Public Health 
Service Act), I am submitting the report of the Department of Health and 
Human Services regarding the administration of the Radiation Control for 
Health and Safety Act of 1968 during calendar year 1992.
  The report recommends the repeal of section 540 of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act that requires the completion of this annual 
report. All the information found in this report is available to the 
Congress on a more immediate basis through the Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health technical reports, the Radiological Health Bulletin 
and other publicly available sources. This annual report serves little 
useful purpose and diverts Agency resources from more productive 
activities.
                                                   William J. Clinton.

       Whereas the United States House of Representatives strongly 
     oppose racism, anti-Catholicism, anti-Semitism, and all forms 
     of ethnic or religious intolerance;
       Whereas the racist, anti-Catholic, and anti-Semitic speech

     violence on the basis of race, religion, and ethnicity; and

       TITLE III--STATE AND LOCAL EDUCATION SYSTEMIC IMPROVEMENT

     SEC. 301. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) all students can learn to high standards and must 
     realize their potential if the United States is to prosper;
       (2) the reforms in education from 1977 through 1992 have 
     achieved some good results, but such reform efforts often 
     have been limited to a few schools or to a single part of the 
     educational system;
       (3) leadership must come from teachers, related 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 
     to support the revitalization of all local public schools by 
     fundamentally changing the entire system of public education 
     through comprehensive, coherent, and coordinated improvement;
       (6) parents, teachers and other local educators, and 
     business, community, and tribal leaders, must be involved in 
     developing system-wide improvement strategies that reflect 
     the needs of their individual communities;
       (7) all students are entitled to teaching practices that 
     are in accordance with accepted standards of professional 
     practice and that hold the greatest promise of improving 
     student performance;
       (8) all students are entitled to participate in a broad and 
     challenging curriculum and to have access to resources 
     sufficient to address other education needs;
       (9) State and local education improvement efforts must 
     incorporate strategies for providing students and families 
     with coordinated access to appropriate social services, 
     health care, nutrition, early childhood education, and child 
     care to remove preventable barriers to learning and enhance 
     school readiness for all students;
       (10) States and local educational agencies, working 
     together, must immediately set about developing and 
     implementing such system-wide improvement strategies if our 
     Nation is to educate all children to meet their full 
     potential and achieve the National Education Goals described 
     in title I;
       (11) State and local systemic improvement strategies must 
     provide all students with effective mechanisms and 
     appropriate paths to the work force as well as to higher 
     education;
       (12) businesses should be encouraged--
       (A) to enter into partnerships with schools;
       (B) to provide information and guidance to schools based on 
     the needs of area businesses for properly educated graduates 
     in general and on the need for particular workplace skills 
     that the schools may provide;
       (C) to provide necessary education and training materials 
     and support; and
       (D) to continue the lifelong learning process throughout 
     the employment years of an individual;
       (13) the appropriate and innovative use of technology, 
     including distance learning, can be very effective in helping 
     to provide all students with the opportunity to learn and 
     meet high standards;
       (14) Federal funds should be targeted to support State and 
     local initiatives, and to leverage State and local resources 
     for designing and implementing system-wide education 
     improvement plans; and
       (15) quality education management services are being 
     utilized by local educational agencies and schools through 
     contractual agreements between local educational agencies or 
     schools and such businesses.

     SEC. 302. PURPOSE.

       It is the purpose of this title to--
       (1) improve the quality of education for all students by 
     supporting a long-term, broad-based effort to provide 
     coherent and coordinated improvements in the system of 
     education throughout our Nation at the State and local 
     levels;
       (2) provide new authorities and funding for our Nation's 
     school systems;
       (3) not replace or reduce funding for existing Federal 
     education programs; and
       (4) ensure that no State or local educational agency will 
     reduce its funding for education or for education reform on 
     account of receiving any funds under this title.

                   ASSESSMENTS.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of this title,

                        TITLE IV--MISCELLANEOUS

     SEC. 401. PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

       Except as provided in section 310, nothing in this Act 
     shall be construed to authorize the use of funds under title 
     III of this Act to directly or indirectly benefit any school 
     other than a public school.

     SEC. 402. CONSTRUCTION.

       Nothing in this Act shall be construed--

[[Page 129]]

       (1) to supersede the provisions of section 103 of the 
     Department of Education Organization Act;
       (2) to require the teaching of values or the establishment 
     of school-based clinics as a condition of receiving funds 
     under this Act;
       (3) to mandate limitations or class size for a State, local 
     educational agency or school;
       (4) to mandate a Federal teacher certification system for a 
     State, local educational agency or school;
       (5) to mandate teacher instructional practices for a State, 
     local educational agency or school;
       (6) to mandate equalized spending per pupil for a State,

     educational agency or school; and
       (9) to mandate any curriculum framework, instructional 
     material, examination, assessment or system of assessments 
     for private, religious, or home schools.

     SEC. 403. KALID ABDUL MOHAMMED.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the speech made by Mr. 
     Khalid Abdul Mohammed at Kean College on November 29, 1993, 
     was false, anti-Semitic, racist, divisive, repugnant and a 
     disservice to all Americans and is therefore condemned.

     SEC. 404. PROHIBITION ON FEDERAL MANDATES, DIRECTION, AND 
                   CONTROL.

       Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize an 
     officer or employee of the Federal Government to mandate, 
     direct, or control a State, local educational agency, or 
     school's curriculum, program of instruction, or allocation of 
     State or local resources or mandate a State or any 
     subdivision thereof to spend any funds or incur any costs not 
     paid for under this Act.

     SEC. 405. SCHOOL PRAYER.

       No funds made available through the Department of Education 
     under this Act, or any other Act, shall be available to any 
     State of local educational agency which has a policy of 
     denying, or which effectively prevents participation in, 
     constitutionality protected prayer in public schools by 
     individuals on a voluntary basis. Neither the United States 
     nor any State nor any local educational agency shall require 
     any person to participate in prayer or influence the form or 
     content of any constitutionality protected prayer in such 
     public schools.

     SEC. 406. DAILY SILENCE FOR STUDENTS.

       It is the sense of the Senate that local educational 
     agencies should encourage a brief period of daily silence for 
     students for the purpose of contemplating their aspirations; 
     for considering what they hope and plan to accomplish that 
     day; for considering how their own actions of that day will 
     effect themselves and others around them, including their 
     schoolmates, friends and families; for drawing strength from 
     whatever personal, moral or religious beliefs or positive 
     values they hold; and for such other introspection and 
     reflection as will help them develop and prepare them for 
     achieving the goals of this Act.

     SEC. 407. FUNDING FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES 
                   EDUCATION ACT.

       (a) The Senate finds that--
       (1) the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was 
     established with the commitment of forty percent Federal 
     funding but currently receives only eight percent Federal 
     funding;
       (2) this funding shortfall is particularly burdensome to 
     school districts and schools in low-income areas which serve 
     higher than average proportions of students with disabilities 
     and have fewer local resources to contribute; and
       (3) it would cost the Federal Government approximately 
     $10,000,000,000 each year to fully fund the Individuals with 
     Disabilities Education Act.
       (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the Federal 
     Government should provide States and communities with 
     adequate resources under the Individuals with Disabilities 
     Education Act as soon as reasonably possible, through the 
     reallocation of funds within the current budget monetary 
     constraints.

     SEC. 408. NATIONAL BOARD FOR PROFESSIONAL TEACHING STANDARDS.

       Section 551 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 
     1107) is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (1) of subsection (b), by striking ``the 
     Federal share of'';
       (2) in subparagraph (B) of subsection (e)(1), by striking 
     ``share of the cost of the activities of the Board is'' and 
     inserting ``contributions described in subsection (f) are''; 
     and
       (3) by amending subsection (f) to read as follows:
       ``(f) Matching Funds Requirement.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall not provide 
     financial assistance under this subpart to the Board unless 
     the Board agrees to expend non-Federal contributions equal to 
     $1 for every $1 of the Federal funds provided pursuant to 
     such financial assistance.
       ``(2) Non-federal contributions.--The non-Federal 
     contributions described in paragraph (1)--
       ``(A) may include all non-Federal funds raised by the Board 
     on or after January 1, 1987; and
       ``(B) may be used for outreach, implementation, 
     administration, operation, and other costs associated with 
     the development and implementation of national teacher 
     assessment and certification procedures under this 
     subpart.''.

     SEC. 409. FORGIVENESS OF CERTAIN OVERPAYMENTS.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding section 1401 of the 
     Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 or any other 
     provision of law--
       (1) the allocation of funds appropriated for fiscal year 
     1993 under the Department of Education Appropriations Act, 
     1993, to Colfax County, New Mexico under section 1005 of the 
     Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, and any other 
     allocations or grants for such fiscal year resulting from 
     such allocation to such county under any program administered 
     by the Secretary of Education, shall be deemed to be 
     authorized by law; and
       (2) in any program for which allocations are based on 
     fiscal year 1993 allocations under section 1005 of such Act, 
     the fiscal year 1993 allocations under such section deemed to 
     be authorized by law in accordance with paragraph (1) shall 
     be used.
       (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(1) of this section, in 
     carrying out section 1403(a) of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965 for fiscal year 1994, the amount 
     allocated to Colfax County, New Mexico under section 1005 of 
     such Act for fiscal year 1993 shall be deemed to be the 
     amount that the Secretary determines would have been 
     allocated under such section 1005 had the correct data been 
     used for fiscal year 1993.

     SEC. 410. STUDY OF GOALS 2000 AND STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.

       (a) Study Required.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Education shall make 
     appropriate arrangements with the National Academy of 
     Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study of the inclusion of 
     children with disabilities in GOALS 2000 school reform 
     activities.
       (2) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``children with disabilities'' has the same meaning given 
     such in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
       (b) Study Components.--The study conducted under subsection 
     (a) shall include--
       (1) an evaluation of the National Education Goals and 
     objectives, curriculum reforms, standards, and other programs 
     and activities intended to achieve those goals;
       (2) a review of the adequacy of assessments and measures 
     used to gauge progress towards meeting National Education 
     Goals and any national and State standards, and an 
     examination of other methods or accommodations necessary or 
     desirable to collect data on the educational progress of 
     children with disabilities, and the costs of such methods and 
     accommodations;
       (3) an examination of what incentives or assistance might 
     be provided to States to develop improvement plans that 
     adequately address the needs of children with disabilities;
       (4) the relation of Goals 2000 to other Federal laws 
     governing or affecting the education of children with 
     disabilities; and
       (5) such other issues as the National Academy of Sciences 
     considers appropriate.
       (c) Study Panel Membership.--Any panel constituted in 
     furtherance of the study to be conducted under subsection (a) 
     shall include consumer representatives.
       (d) Findings and Recommendations.--The Secretary of

     submit an interim report of its findings and recommendations 
     to the President and Congress not later than 12 months, and a 
     final report not later than 24 months, from the date of the 
     completion of procurement relating to the study.
       (e) Funding.--From such accounts as the Secretary deems 
     appropriate, the Secretary shall make available $600,000 for 
     fiscal year 1994, and such sums as may be necessary for 
     fiscal year 1995, to carry out this section. Amounts made 
     available under this subsection shall remain available until 
     expended.

     SEC. 411. MENTORING, PEER COUNSELING AND PEER TUTORING.

       (a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) Mentoring, peer counseling and peer tutoring programs 
     provide role models for children and build self-esteem;
       (2) Mentoring, peer counseling and peer tutoring programs 
     promote learning and help students attain the necessary 
     skills they need to excel academically;
       (3) Mentoring, peer counseling, and peer tutoring programs 
     provide healthy and safe alternatives to involvement in 
     drugs, gangs or other violent activities; and
       (4) Mentoring, peer counseling, and peer tutoring programs 
     promote school, community and parental involvement in the 
     livelihood and well-being of our children.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--Therefore, it is the Sense of 
     the Congress that Federal education programs that provide 
     assistance to elementary and secondary education students 
     should include authorizations for establishing mentoring, 
     peer counseling and peer tutoring programs.

     SEC. 412. CONTENT AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.

       It is the sense of the Senate that because high academic 
     standards are the key to excellence for all students and a 
     focus on results is an important direction for education 
     reform, it is the sense of the Senate that States should 
     develop their own content and performance standards in 
     academic subject areas as an essential part of their State 
     reform plan.

     SEC. 413. STATE-SPONSORED HIGHER EDUCATION TRUST FUND SAVINGS 
                   PLAN.

       It is the sense of the Senate that--

[[Page 130]]

       (1) individuals should be encouraged to save to meet the 
     higher education costs of their children;
       (2) an effective way to encourage those savings is through 
     State-sponsored higher education trust fund savings plans; 
     and
       (3) an effective way for the Federal Government to assist 
     such plans is to amend the Federal tax laws to provide that--
       (A) no tax is imposed on the earnings on contributions to 
     the plans if the earnings are used for higher education 
     costs,
       (B) State organizations sponsoring the plans are exempt 
     from Federal taxation, and
       (C) any charitable gift to the plans are tax-deductible and 
     are distributed to recipients on a pro rata basis.

     SEC. 414. AMENDMENTS TO SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING 
                   PROGRAM.

       (a) Program Design.--
       (1) Academic enrichment authorized.--Paragraph (1) of 
     section 253(a) of the Job Training Partnership Act is amended 
     by inserting ``academic enrichment'' after ``remedial

       (1) Congress is interested in promoting State and local 
     government reform efforts in education;
       (2) In Public Law 96-88 the Congress found that education 
     is fundamental to the development of individual citizens and 
     the progress of the Nation;
       (3) In Public Law 96-88 the Congress found that in our 
     Federal system the responsibility for education is reserved 
     respectively to the States and the local school systems and 
     other instrumentalities of the States;
       (4) In Public Law 96-88 the Congress declared the purpose 
     of the Department of Education was to supplement and 
     complement the efforts of States, the local school systems, 
     and other instrumentalities of the States, the private 
     sector, public and private educational institutions, public 
     and private nonprofit educational research institutions, 
     community based organizations, parents and schools to improve 
     the quality of education;

     Congress intended to protect the rights of State and local 
     governments and public and private educational institutions 
     in the areas of educational policies and administration of 
     programs and to strengthen and improve the control of such 
     governments and institutions over their own educational 
     programs and policies;

     and local school systems and other instrumentalities of the 
     States;
       (7) Public Law 96-88 specified that no provision of a

     supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of 
     instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational 
     institution, school, or school system, over any accrediting 
     agency or association or over the selection or content of

     the responsibility for control of education is reserved to 
     the States and local school systems and other 
     instrumentalities of the States and that no action shall be 
     taken under the provisions of this Act by the Federal 
     Government which would, directly or indirectly, impose 
     standards or requirements of any kind through the 
     promulgation of rules, regulations, provision of financial 
     assistance and otherwise, which would reduce, modify, or 
     undercut State and local responsibility for control of 
     education.

         TITLE VIII--YOUTH VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES

     SEC. 801. PURPOSE.

       It is the purpose of this title to help local communities 
     achieve Goal Six of the National Education Goals, which 
     provides that by the year 2000, every school in America will 
     be free of drugs and violence and will offer a disciplined 
     environment conducive to learning, by strengthening local 
     disciplinary control.

     SEC. 802. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the violence within elementary and secondary schools 
     across the Nation has increased dramatically during the past 
     decade;
       (2) almost 3,000,000 crimes occur on or near school 
     campuses every year, with 16,000 crimes occurring per school 
     day or one crime occurring every 6 seconds;
       (3) 20 percent of teachers in schools have reported being 
     threatened with violence by a student;
       (4) schools are being asked to take on responsibilities 
     that society as a whole has neglected, and teachers and 
     principals are being forced to referee fights rather than 
     teach;
       (5) over two-thirds of public school teachers have been 
     verbally abused, threatened with injury, or physically 
     attacked;
       (6) violent or criminal behavior by students interferes 
     with a teacher's ability to teach in a safe environment the 
     students not exhibiting such behavior;
       (7) 40 percent of all students do not feel safe in school 
     and 50 percent of all students know someone who switched 
     schools to feel safer;
       (8) nearly one-half of the teachers who leave the teaching 
     profession cite discipline problems as one of the main 
     reasons for leaving such profession; and
       (9) a lack of parental involvement contributes strongly to 
     school violence.

     SEC. 803. PROVISIONS.

       (a) Local Discipline Control.--No Federal law or 
     regulation, except education and civil rights laws protecting 
     individuals with disabilities, or State policy implementing 
     such a Federal law or regulation, shall restrict any local 
     educational agency, or elementary or secondary school, from 
     developing and implementing disciplinary policies and action 
     with respect to criminal or violent acts of students, 
     occurring on school premises, in order to create an 
     environment conducive to learning.
       (b) Shared Information.--No Federal law or regulation, or 
     State policy implementing such a Federal law or regulation, 
     shall restrict any local educational agency or elementary or 
     secondary school from requesting and receiving information 
     from a State agency, local educational agency, or an 
     elementary or secondary school regarding a conviction or 
     juvenile adjudication, within five years of the date of the 
     request, or a pending prosecution for a violent or weapons 
     offense, of a student who is attending an elementary or 
     secondary school served by the local educational agency, or 
     the elementary or secondary school, requesting such 
     information.
       (c) Parental Responsibility.--It is the policy of the 
     Congress that States, in cooperation with local educational 
     agencies, schools, and parent groups, should be encouraged to 
     enforce disciplinary policies with respect to parents of 
     children who display criminal or violent behavior toward 
     teachers, students, other persons, or school property.

     950 for any fiscal year, the Secretary shall reserve--
       (1) not more than one-half of 1 percent for allotment among 
     Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Northern 
     Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the 
     Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau

     allotted among State educational agencies so that--
       (1) one-half of such remainder shall be distributed by 
     allotting to each State educational agency an amount which 
     bears the same ratio to such one-half of such remainder as 
     the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, in the State 
     bears to the number of such children in all States; and
       (2) one-half of such remainder shall be distributed 
     according to each State's share of allocations under chapter 
     1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
     1965,
     except that no State educational agency shall receive less 
     than one-half of 1 percent of the amount available under this

     agencies under subsection (b) for that year but with such 
     proportionate amount for any of those other State educational 
     agencies being reduced to the extent it exceeds the sum the 
     Secretary estimates that the State educational agency needs 
     and will be able to use for that year, and the total of those 
     reductions shall be similarly reallotted among the State 
     educational agencies whose proportionate amounts were not so 
     reduced. Any amounts reallotted to a State educational agency 
     under this subsection during a year shall be deemed a subpart 
     of the State educational agency's allotment under subsection 
     (b) for that year.

     Inhaling Deadly Smoke (PRO-KIDS) Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 1202. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) environmental tobacco smoke comes from secondhand smoke 
     exhaled by smokers and sidestream smoke emitted from the 
     burning of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes;
       (2) since citizens of the United States spend up to 90 
     percent of each day indoors, there is a significant potential 
     for exposure to environmental tobacco smoke from indoor air;
       (3) exposure to environmental tobacco smoke occurs in 
     schools, public buildings, and other indoor facilities;
       (4) recent scientific studies have concluded that exposure 
     to environmental tobacco smoke is a cause of lung cancer in 
     healthy nonsmokers and is responsible for acute and chronic 
     respiratory problems and other health impacts in sensitive 
     populations (including children);
       (5) the health risks posed by environmental tobacco smoke 
     exceed the risks posed by many environmental pollutants 
     regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency; and
       (6) according to information released by the Environmental 
     Protection Agency, environmental tobacco smoke results in a 
     loss to the economy of over $3,000,000,000 per year.

     SEC. 111. PURPOSE.

       The purpose of this title is to establish national 
     education goals.

     SEC. 112. 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.
       (B) The objectives for this goal are that--
       (i) the academic performance of all students at the 
     elementary and secondary level 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 all students who demonstrate the 
     ability to reason, solve problems, apply knowledge, and write 
     and communicate effectively will increase substantially;

     American students for the next century.
       (B) The objectives of this goal are that--
       (i) every State will establish opportunity-to-learn 
     standards and create an integrated strategy to attract, 
     recruit, prepare, retrain, and support the continued 
     professional development of teachers, administrators, and 
     other educators, so that there is a highly talented workforce 
     of professional educators to teach challenging standards;
       (ii) subgrants for preservice teacher education and 
     professional development activity will be made to local 
     educational agencies, institutions of higher education, 
     private nonprofit organizations, or consortia of such 
     organizations, to support continuing, sustained, professional 
     development activities for all educators; and
       (iii) partnerships shall be established, whenever possible, 
     between local educational agencies, institutions of higher 
     education, local labor, business, and professional 
     associations to provide and support programs for the

     graduate students, especially women and minorities, who 
     complete degrees in mathematics, science, and engineering 
     will increase significantly.
       (6) Adult literacy and lifelong learning.--(A) By the year 
     2000, every adult Amer- 

[[Page 150]]

     ican 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--

     technical, workplace, or other programs;
       (iii) the number of quality programs, including those at

     be organized to provide all students and teachers with needed 
     support; and

         PART C--STATE AND LOCAL EDUCATION SYSTEMIC IMPROVEMENT

     SEC. 151. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) all students can learn and achieve high standards and 
     must realize their potential if the United States is to 
     prosper;
       (2) the reforms in education of the last 15 years have 
     achieved some good results, but these efforts often have been 
     limited to a few schools or to a single part of the 
     educational system;
       (3) leadership must come both from teachers, related 
     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 
     to support the revitalization of all local public schools by 
     fundamentally changing the entire system of public education 
     through comprehensive, coherent, and coordinated improvement 
     in order to increase student learning;
       (6) parents, teachers, and other local educators, and 
     business, community, and tribal leaders must be involved in 
     developing systemwide improvement strategies that reflect the 
     needs of their individual communities;
       (7) State and local education improvement efforts must 
     incorporate strategies for providing all students and 
     families with coordinated access to appropriate social 
     services, health care, nutrition, and child care to remove 
     preventable barriers to learning and enhance school readiness 
     for all students;
       (8) States and local educational agencies, working 
     together, must immediately set about developing and 
     implementing such systemwide improvement strategies if the 
     Nation is to educate all children to meet their full 
     potential and achieve the National Education Goals listed in 
     title I of this Act;
       (9) State and local systemic improvement strategies must 
     provide all students with effective mechanisms and 
     appropriate paths to the workforce as well as to higher 
     education;
       (10) business should be encouraged to enter into 
     partnerships with schools, provide information and guidance 
     to schools on the needs of area business for properly 
     educated graduates in general and on the need for particular 
     workplace skills, that the schools may provide necessary 
     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 
     goals of this Act;
       (11) institutions of higher education should be encouraged 
     to enter into partnerships with schools to provide 
     information and guidance to schools on the skills and 
     knowledge graduates need in order to enter and successfully 
     complete postsecondary education, and schools should provide 
     information and guidance to institutions of higher education 
     on the skills, knowledge, and preservice training teachers 
     need, and the types of professional development educators 
     need in order to meet the goals of this Act;
       (12) the appropriate and innovative use of technology, 
     including distance learning, can be very effective in helping 
     to bring all students the opportunity to learn and meet high 
     standards; and
       (13) Federal funds should be targeted to support local and 
     State initiatives, and to leverage State and local resources 
     for designing and implementing system-wide improvement plans.

     SEC. 152. PURPOSE.

       The purpose of this title is to improve the quality of 
     education for all students by improving student learning 
     through a long-term, broad-based effort to promote coherent 
     and coordinated improvements in the system of education 
     throughout the Nation at the local and State levels. This 
     title provides new authorities and funding for the Nation's 
     school systems without replacing or reducing funding for 
     existing Federal education programs. It is the intention of 
     the Congress that no State or local educational agency will 
     reduce its funding for education or for education reform on 
     account of receiving any funds under this title.

     challenging standards for all students and local and State 
     responsibilities for helping all students achieve them.
       (7) The panel shall develop a continuing process for 
     interacting with local educational agencies and individual 
     schools engaged in systemic reform, especially including 
     local educational agencies and schools which receive 
     subgrants under section 159 of this Act, to ensure that the 
     development and implementation of the State plan reflects 
     their needs and experiences.
       (8) The panel shall develop a State plan, provide 
     opportunity for public comment, and submit the State plan to 
     the State educational agency for approval.
       (9) The State educational agency shall submit the original 
     State improvement plan developed by the panel and the State 
     improvement plan if modified by such agency, together with an 
     explanation of any changes made by such agency to the plan 
     developed by the panel, to the Secretary for approval.
       (10) If any portion of the State plan addresses matters 
     that, under State or other applicable law, are not under the 
     authority of the State educational agency, the State 
     educational agency shall obtain the approval of, or changes 
     to, such portion, with an explanation from the Governor or 
     other official responsible for that portion before submitting 
     the plan to the Secretary.

     appropriate, and shall periodically report its findings to 
     the public.
       (c) Teaching, Learning, Standards, and Assessments.--Each 
     State plan shall establish strategies and a timetable for 
     improving teaching and learning, including--
       (1) a process for developing or adopting challenging 
     content and student performance standards for all students 
     which includes coordinating the standards developed pursuant 
     to section 115 of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied 
     Technology Education Act of 1990;
       (2) a process for providing assistance and support to local 
     educational agencies and schools to give them the capacity 
     and responsibility to provide all students the opportunity to 
     increase education achievement and meet challenging State 
     content and student performance standards;
       (3) assessing the effectiveness and equity of the school 
     finance program of the State to identify disparities in the 
     resources available to each local educational agency and 
     school in such State and how such disparities affect the 
     ability of the State educational agency and local educational 
     agencies to develop and implement plans under this title;
       (4) a process for developing, adopting, or recommending 
     instructional materials, including gender equitable and 
     multicultural materials, and technology to support and assist 
     local educational agencies and schools to provide all 
     students the opportunity to meet the challenging State 
     content and student performance standards;
       (5) a process for developing and implementing a valid and 
     nondiscriminatory assessment system or set of locally-based 
     assessment systems which are consistent with relevant, 
     nationally recognized, professional and technical standards 
     for assessment, and are capable of providing coherent 
     information about student attainments relative to the State 
     content standards;
       (6) a process for monitoring the implementation of such 
     system or systems and the impact on improved instruction for 
     all students;
       (7) a process for improving the State's system of teacher 
     and school administrator preparation, licensure, and 
     continuing professional development so that all teachers, 
     related services personnel, and administrators develop the 
     subject matter and pedagogical expertise needed to prepare 
     all students to meet the challenging standards under 
     paragraph (1);
       (8) a process for providing appropriate and effective 
     professional development, including the use of technology, 
     distance learning, and gender-equitable methods, necessary

     knowledge and skill levels that meet the State's content and 
     student performance standards.
       (e) Governance and Management.--Each State plan shall 
     establish strategies for improved governance and management 
     of its education system, such as--
       (1) aligning responsibility, authority, and accountability 
     throughout the education system, so that decisions regarding 
     content and student performance standards are coordinated and 
     decisions regarding the means for achieving such standards 
     are made closest to the learners;
       (2) creating an integrated and coherent approach to 
     attracting, recruiting, preparing and licensing, appraising, 
     rewarding, retaining, and supporting the continued 
     professional development of teachers (including vocational 
     teachers), administrators, and other educators, including 
     bilingual educators and special education providers, so that 
     there is a highly talented workforce of professional 
     educators capable of preparing all students to reach 
     challenging standards, with special attention to the 
     recruitment, training, and retention of qualified minorities 
     into the education profession within the State to ensure that 
     the profession reflects the racial and ethnic diversity of 
     the student population;

     and schools by, for example--
       (A) waiving State regulations and other requirements that 
     impede educational improvement;
       (B) focusing accountability on educational outcomes rather 
     than monitoring compliance with input requirements; and
       (C) fostering conditions that allow teachers, principals, 
     and parents in the school community to be creative in helping 
     all students meet challenging standards.
       (f) Parental and Community Support and Involvement.--Each 
     State plan shall describe strategies for how the State will 
     involve parents and other community members in planning, 
     designing, and implementing its plan, including such

     standards, systemic improvement, and awareness of diverse 
     learning needs;
       (2) involving parents, communities, and advocacy groups in 
     the standard-setting and improvement process;
       (3) linking the family and school in supporting students to

     improving student performance;
       (5) focusing public and private community resources and 
     public school resources on prevention and early intervention 
     to address the needs of all students by--
       (A) identifying and removing unnecessary regulations and 
     obstacles to coordination;
       (B) improving communication and information exchange; and
       (C) providing appropriate training to agency personnel; and
       (6) increasing the access of all students to social 
     services, health care, nutrition, related services, and child 
     care services, and locating such services in schools, 
     cooperating service agencies, community-based centers, or 
     other convenient sites designed to provide ``one-stop 
     shopping'' for parents and students.
       (g) Making the Improvements Systemwide.--To help provide 
     all students throughout the State the opportunity to meet 
     challenging State standards, each State plan shall describe 
     strategies such as--
       (1) ensuring that the improvement efforts expand from the 
     initial local educational agencies, schools, and educators 
     involved to all local educational agencies, schools, and 
     educators in the State education system through such 
     approaches as teacher and administrator professional 
     development, technical assistance, whole school projects, 
     intensive summer training, and networking of teachers and 
     other educators, consortia of schools, and local educational 
     agencies undertaking similar improvements;
       (2) developing partnerships among preschools, elementary 
     and secondary schools, institutions of higher education,

     collaboration and continuous improvement;
       (3) strategies to provide for the close coordination of 
     standards development and improvement efforts among 
     institutions of higher education and secondary, and 
     elementary schools;
       (4) conducting parental involvement activities and outreach 
     programs aimed at parents whose language is a language other 
     than English, individuals with disabilities, and other 
     special populations, including American Indians, Alaskan 
     Natives, and Native Hawaiians, to involve all segments of the 
     community in the development of the State plan;
       (5) developing partnerships with Indian tribes and schools 
     funded by the Bureau, where appropriate, to improve 
     consistency and compatibility in curriculum among public and 
     such schools funded by the Bureau at all grade levels;
       (6) allocating all available local, State, and Federal 
     resources to achieve system-wide improvement;
       (7) providing for the development of objective criteria and 
     measures against which the success of local plans will be 
     evaluated;
       (8) providing for the availability of curricular materials, 
     learning technologies, including distance learning, and

       (i) Coordination with School-to-Work Programs.--If a State 
     has received Federal assistance for the purpose of planing 
     for, expanding, or establishing a school-to-work program, 
     then a State shall include in the State plan a description of 
     how such school-to-work program will be incorporated into the 
     school reform efforts of the State. In particular, the State 
     plan shall include a description of how secondary schools 
     will be modified in order to provide career guidance, the

     allocation of State and local resources.
       (n) Peer Review and Secretarial Approval.--(1) The 
     Secretary shall review each State improvement plan prepared 
     under this section, and each application submitted under 
     section 155, with the assistance and advice of State and 
     local education policymakers, educators, classroom teachers, 
     related services personnel, experts on educational innovation 
     and improvement, parents, advocates for children with

     communities the flexibility to implement local improvement 
     plans in a manner which reflects local needs and requirements 
     in order to promote a `bottom up' system of school reform.
       (3) The Secretary shall not decline to approve a State's 
     plan, or any State application submitted under section 155, 
     before offering the State--
       (A) an opportunity to revise its plan or application; and
       (B) a hearing.
       (o) Regular Review.--Each State plan shall include a 
     process for regularly reviewing and updating any State

     review its plan and revise it, as appropriate, in accordance 
     with the process described in subsection (b).
       (2) The Secretary shall review major amendments to a 
     State's plan through the same process, described in 
     subsection (j), used to review the original plan.
       (q) Preexisting State Plans and Panels.--(1) If a State has 
     developed a comprehensive and systemic improvement plan to 
     help all students meet challenging standards, or any 
     component of such a plan, that otherwise meets the 
     requirements of this section, the Secretary may approve such 
     plan or component notwithstanding that it was not developed 
     in accordance with subsection (b), if the Secretary 
     determines that such approval would further the purposes of 
     State systemic education improvement.
       (2) If, before the enactment of this Act, a State has made 
     substantial progress in developing a plan that otherwise 
     meets, or is likely to meet, the requirements of this 
     section, but was developed by a panel that does not meet the 
     requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection 
     (b), the Secretary may, at the request of the Governor and 
     the State educational agency, treat such panel as meeting the 
     requirements of this title if the Secretary determines that 
     there has been statewide involvement of educators, parents, 
     students, advocacy groups, other interested members of the 
     public in the development of the plan.

     SEC. 171. 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

    TITLE II--EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND DISSEMINATION 
                             EXCELLENCE ACT

     SEC. 201. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds as follows with respect to improving 
     education in the United States:
       (1) A majority of public schools in the United States are 
     failing to adequately prepare their students. To achieve the 
     national education goals set forth by the President and the 
     governors of the States, an overwhelming campaign for 
     educational improvement must be mounted in order to set in 
     motion many strategies and models designed to encourage and 
     support school restructuring. The Federal Government must 
     support an extensive program of educational research, 
     development, dissemination, replication and assistance to 
     identify and support the best responses for the challenges 
     ahead. A significant investment in attaining a deeper 
     understanding of the processes of learning and schooling and 
     developing new ideas holds the best hope of making a 
     substantial difference to the lives of every school and 
     student in the United States. The Office of Educational 
     Research and Improvement of the Department of Education 
     should be at the center of this campaign in order to 
     coordinate such efforts.
       (2) The Federal role in educational research has been 
     closely identified with youths who are socioeconomically 
     disadvantaged, belong to a language minority, or are 
     disabled. However, in 1988, the Federal commitment to 
     education was sufficient to serve not more than--
       (A) 1 out of every 5 low-income children in need of 
     preschool education;
       (B) 2 out of every 5 children in need of remediation;
       (C) 1 out of every 4 children in need of bilingual 
     education; and
       (D) 1 out of every 20 youths in need of job training.
       (3) The failure of the Federal Government to adequately 
     invest in educational research and development has denied the 
     Nation a sound foundation on which to design school 
     improvements, leading to a history of faddism and failed 
     experimentation resulting in a dearth of research in the area 
     of educationally at-risk students. This situation is of 
     particular concern because at least half of the public school 
     students in 25 of the largest cities of the United States are 
     minority children, and demographers project that, by 2005, 
     almost all urban public school students will be minority 
     children or other children in poverty.
       (4) The investment goal of the Federal research, 
     development, and dissemination function should be at least 1 
     percent of the total amount of funds spent on education 
     nationally.
       (5) Nationwide model programs and reliable interventions 
     should be demonstrated and replicated, and for such purposes, 
     programs should be established to conduct research and 
     evaluations, and to disseminate information.
       (6) The Office of Educational Research and Improvement must 
     develop a national dissemination policy that will advance the 
     goal of placing a national treasure chest of research 
     results, models, and materials at the disposal of the 
     Nation's education decisionmakers.
       (7) A National Educational Research Policy and Priorities 
     Board should be established to ensure that an educational 
     research and dissemination agenda is developed and 
     implemented without partisan political interference.
       (8) Existing research and development entities should adopt 
     expanded, proactive roles and new institutions must be 
     created to promote knowledge development necessary to 
     accelerate the application of research knowledge to high 
     priority areas.
       (9) Greater use should be made of existing technologies in 
     efforts to improve the Nation's educational system, including 
     efforts to disseminate research findings.
       (10) Minority educational researchers are inadequately 
     represented throughout the Department of Education, but 
     particularly in the Office of Educational Research and 
     Improvement. The Office therefore must assume a leadership 
     position in the recruitment, retention, and promotion of 
     qualified minority educational researchers.
       (11) The coordination of the mission of the Office of 
     Educational Research and Improvement with that of other 
     components of the Department of Education is critical. It 
     must improve the coordination of the educational research, 
     development, and dissemination function with those of other 
     Federal agencies.

PART A--GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND 
                              IMPROVEMENT

     SEC. 211. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

       Section 405 of the General Education Provisions Act (20 
     U.S.C. 1221e) is amended to read as follows:

     policy of the United States to provide to every individual an 
     equal opportunity to receive an education of high quality 
     regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, 
     national origin, or social class. Although the American 
     educational system has pursued this objective, it has not 
     attained the objective. Inequalities of opportunity to 
     receive high quality education remain pronounced. To achieve 
     the goal of quality education requires the continued pursuit 
     of knowledge about education through research, development, 
     improvement activities, data collection, synthesis, technical 
     assistance, and information dissemination. While the 
     direction of American education remains primarily the 
     responsibility of State and local governments, the Federal 
     Government has a clear responsibility to provide leadership 
     in the conduct and support of scientific inquiry into the 
     educational process.
       ``(2) Mission of office.--
       ``(A) The mission of the Office of Educational Research and

       ``(ii) promoting excellence and equity in education; and
       ``(iii) monitoring the state of education.
       ``(B) The mission of the Office shall be accomplished in 
     collaboration with researchers, teachers, school 
     administrators, parents, students, employers, and 
     policymakers.
       ``(b) Purpose and Structure of Office.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary, acting through the Office 
     of Educational Research and Improvement, shall carry out the 
     policies set forth in subsection (a). In carrying out such 
     policies, the Secretary shall be guided by the priorities 
     established by the Board of Governors established in section 
     405A.
       ``(2) Administrative structure.--The Office shall be 
     administered by the Assistant Secretary and shall include--
       ``(A) the National Educational Research Policy and 
     Priorities Board established by section 405A;
       ``(B) the national research institutes established by

       ``(D) Postsecondary education, libraries, and lifelong 
     learning for adults.
       ``(E) The improvement of schools through the restructuring 
     and reform of school governance, policymaking, finance and 
     management at the State, local, school building, and 
     classroom level.
       ``(c) Appointment of Employees.--

     institutions of higher education with large numbers of 
     minority students;
       ``(D) institutions of higher education located in rural

       ``(6) Additional authorities.--The Assistant Secretary--
       ``(A) may obtain (in accordance with section 3109 of title 
     5 but without regard to the limitation in such section on the 
     period of service) the services of experts or consultants 
     with scientific or professional qualifications in the 
     disciplines relevant to the purposes of such Institute;
       ``(B) may use, with their consent, the services, equipment, 
     personnel, information, and facilities of other Federal, 
     State, or local public agencies, with or without 
     reimbursement therefor;
       ``(C) may accept voluntary and uncompensated services; and
       ``(D) may accept unconditional gifts made to the Office to 
     support its activities.
       ``(d) National Institute for the Education of At-Risk 
     Students.--
       ``(1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(A) The rate of decline in our urban schools is 
     escalating at a rapid pace. Student performance in most inner 
     city schools grows worse each year. At least half of all 
     students entering ninth grade fail to graduate 4 years later 
     and many more students from high-poverty backgrounds leave 
     school with skills that are inadequate for today's workplace. 
     In 1988 the average National Assessment of Educational 
     Progress (NAEP) reading score of white 17 year-olds was 
     approximately 20 points higher than that of African-American 
     17 year-olds and 25 points higher than that of Hispanic 17 
     year-olds. None of the existing Federal educational research 
     and development programs are adequately addressing this 
     obvious emergency.
       ``(B) Rural schools enroll a disproportionately large share 
     of the Nation's poor and at-risk students and yet often lack 
     the means to address effectively the needs of these children. 
     Intensive efforts must be made to overcome the problems of 
     geographic isolation, declining population, inadequate 
     financial resources and other impediments to the educational 
     success of children residing in rural areas.
       ``(C) By the year 2000, an estimated 3.4 million school age 
     children with limited English language proficiency will be 
     entering the school system. The Federal Government must 
     develop effective policies and programs to address the 
     educational needs of this growing population of children who 
     are at increased risk for educational failure.
       ``(D) An educational emergency exists in those urban and 
     rural areas where there are large concentrations of children 
     who live in poverty. The numbers of educationally 
     disadvantaged children will substantially increase by the 
     year 2020, when the number of impoverished children alone 
     will be 16.5 million, a 33 percent increase over the 12.4 
     million children in poverty in 1987.
       ``(E) American Indian and Alaska Native students are keenly 
     at-risk of educational failure, with demonstrated high 
     dropout, illiteracy and poverty rates, and cultural, 
     linguistic, social and geographic isolation. The estimated 
     400,000 Indian and Alaska Native student population from over 
     500 Indian and Alaska Native tribes, is small and scattered 
     throughout remote reservations and villages in 32 States, and 
     in off-reservation rural and urban communities where Indians 
     constitute but a small percentage of public school student 
     bodies. To meaningfully address the special educational needs 
     of this historically under-served population, the existing 
     research and development system must be opened to Indian and 
     Alaska Native people to identify needs and design ways to 
     address such needs.
       ``(F) Minority scholars as well as institutions and groups 
     that have been historically committed to the improvement of 
     the education of at-risk students need to be more fully 
     mobilized in the effort to develop a new generation of 
     programs, models, practices, and schools capable of 
     responding to the urgent needs of students who are 
     educationally at-risk.
       ``(2) Purpose.--It shall be the purpose of the Institute 
     for the Education of At-Risk Students to carry out a 
     coordinated and comprehensive program of research and 
     development to provide nonpartisan, research-based leadership 
     to the Nation as it seeks to improve educational 
     opportunities for students who are at-risk for educational 
     failure, particularly children who reside in inner city

[[Page 170]]

     and rural areas, and on Indian reservations, and children of 
     limited English proficiency. Such program shall--
       ``(A) undertake research necessary to provide a sound basis 
     from which to identify, develop, evaluate, and assist others 
     to replicate and adapt interventions, programs, and models 
     which promote greater achievement and educational success by 
     at-risk students, such as--
       ``(i) methods of instruction and educational practices 
     (including community services) which improve the achievement 
     and retention of at-risk students;
       ``(ii) means by which parents and community resources and

       ``(1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(A) The Nation has set as a goal that all children should 
     arrive at school ready to learn.
       ``(B) Despite efforts to expand and improve preschool 
     programs, many children still reach school age unprepared to 
     benefit from formal education programs.
       ``(C) Early intervention for disadvantaged children from 
     conception to age five has been shown to be a highly cost-
     effective strategy for reducing later expenditures on a wide 
     variety of health, developmental, and educational problems 
     that often interfere with learning. Long-term studies of the 
     benefits of preschool education have a demonstrated return on 
     investment ranging from three to six dollars for every one 
     dollar spent.
       ``(D) The Federal government should play a central role in 
     providing research-based information on early childhood 
     education models which enhance children's development and 
     ultimately their success in school.

       ``(g) National Institute on Student Achievement.--
       ``(1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(A) The current achievement levels of students in the 
     Nation are far below those that might indicate competency in 
     challenging subject matter in English, mathematics, science, 
     history, and geography and other areas, or across the subject 
     areas.
       ``(B) Very few students demonstrate that they can use their 
     minds well. In recent assessments, more students are gaining 
     basic skills, yet fewer are demonstrating a grasp of higher-
     level applications of those skills.
       ``(C) During the past 20 years, relatively little has 
     changed in how students are taught. Despite much research 
     suggesting better alternatives, classrooms are still 
     dominated by textbooks, teacher lectures, and short-answer 
     activity sheets and unequal patterns of student attention.
       ``(D) Despite progress in narrowing the gaps, the 
     differences in performance between white students and their 
     minority counterparts remain unacceptably large. While 
     progress has been made in reducing the gender gap in 
     mathematics, it still remains at higher levels of problem 
     solving. Too little progress has been made in reducing gender 
     performance gaps favoring males in science and females in 
     writing.

       ``(h) National Institute for Postsecondary Education, 
     Libraries, and Lifelong Learning.--
       ``(1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(A) The American system of postsecondary education is 
     foremost in the world in its achievement of both academic 
     excellence and equity in access, but maintaining that 
     preeminence requires renewed efforts to strengthen the 
     quality of postsecondary education. Disappointing student 
     performance on achievement tests and licensure examinations, 
     declining rates of persistence and completion among 
     minorities, and other troubling trends in the quality of 
     postsecondary education must be addressed by the Nation as 
     part of its overall drive to improve American education.
       ``(B) The need to improve our Nation's economic 
     productivity to meet the competitive challenges of a new, 
     international economy, coupled with high levels of mobility 
     in the United States labor market and demographic changes in 
     the workforce, now demands more and higher quality programs 
     of learning and training in the American workplace.
       ``(C) The more than 1,000,000 men and women incarcerated in 
     the Nation's prisons and jails are among the most severely 
     educationally disadvantaged in the United States, with high 
     rates of functional illiteracy and extremely low levels of 
     educational attainment. Since an estimated 90 percent of 
     these individuals are expected to be released by the end of 
     the decade, the Nation must act to assure that our 
     correctional system has the means to equip these Americans 
     with the knowledge and skills they will need to participate 
     productively in our society.
       ``(D) The development of a `Nation of Students' capable of 
     and committed to the pursuit of formal and informal lifelong 
     learning is essential to sustain both national and individual 
     economic success and to provide a nurturing environment in 
     which all children and youth can learn and achieve. 
     Historically the most effective community resource for 
     lifelong learning, the Nation's public library system must 
     expand and restructure its delivery of services to take full 
     advantage of the potential of new information technologies to 
     meet the needs of learning communities.

       ``(A) In order to improve the American educational system 
     for all students, achieve the national education goals, and 
     provide for greater educational equity, policymakers, 
     administrators, teachers, and parents must have ready access 
     to the best information and methods available as a result of 
     educational research and development.
       ``(B) The Office of Educational Research and Improvement 
     should have as one of its primary purposes the dissemination 
     of such information and methods in order to assist the 
     national education reform effort.
       ``(C) All current resources within the Office, the 
     Department, and other agencies that can help accomplish this 
     goal should be coordinated by the Assistant Secretary so as 
     to form a systematic process to accomplish these objectives.
       ``(D) Education research has the capacity to improve 
     teaching and learning in our Nation's schools, however, 
     teachers need training in the developmental skills necessary 
     to translate research into practice and to allow them to 
     become a cadre of knowledgeable practitioners and leaders in 
     educational improvement.
       ``(E) Adequate linkages between research and development 
     providers and practitioners are essential to ensuring that 
     research on effective practice is useful, disseminated and

Para. 12.18  communication from the president--economic report

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. CLAYTON, laid before the House a 
communication from the President, which was read as follows:

     To the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the 
         President of the Senate:
       America has always thrived on change. We have used the 
     opportunities it creates to renew ourselves and build our 
     prosperity. But for too long and in too many ways, our Nation 
     has been drifting.
       For the last 30 years, family life in America has been 
     breaking down. For the last 20 years, the real compensation 
     of working Americans has grown at a disappointing rate. For 
     12 years a policy of trickle-down economics built a false 
     prosperity on a mountain of Federal debt. As a result of our 
     national drift, far too many American families, even those 
     with two working parents, no longer dream the American dream 
     of a better life for their children.
       In 1992, the American people demanded change. A year ago, I 
     sought your support for a comprehensive short-term and long-
     term strategy to restore the promise of our country's 
     economic future. You responded, and together we replaced 
     drift and gridlock with renewal and reform. Together we have 
     taken the first necessary steps to restore growth in the 
     living standards of all Americans. We have created a sound 
     macroeconomic environment and strengthened the foundations of 
     future economic growth. As a result of our efforts, the 
     economy is now on a path of rising output, increasing 
     employment, and falling deficits.


         establishing the fiscal conditions for sustained growth

       For more than a decade, the Federal Government has been 
     living well beyond its means--spending much more than it has 
     taken in, and borrowing the difference. The resulting 
     deficits have been huge, both in sheer magnitude and as a 
     percentage of the Nation's output. Since 1981 the Federal 
     debt has been growing faster than the economy, reversing the 
     trend of the previous three decades. As a consequence of this 
     binge of deficit financing, Federal budget deficits have been 
     gobbling up an inordinate share of the Nation's savings, 
     driving up real long-term interests rates, discouraging 
     private investment, and impeding long-run private sector 
     growth.
       On August 10, 1993, I signed the historic budget plan that 
     you passed several days earlier. It will reduce Federal 
     deficits by more than $500 billion. The plan is a balanced 
     package of cuts in spending and increases in revenues. The 
     spending cuts are specific, far-reaching, and genuine. They 
     will reduce discretionary spending by over 12 percent in real 
     terms in 5 years. The plan increases income tax rates for 
     only the top 1.2 percent of taxpayers, the group of Americans 
     who gained the most during the 1980s and are most able to pay 
     higher taxes to help reduce the deficit. At the same time, a 
     broad expansion of the earned income tax credit will help 
     make work pay for up to 15 million American families. Nine 
     out of ten small businesses will benefit from more-generous 
     tax breaks that will help them invest and grow. And new, 
     targeted capital gains tax relief will encourage investment 
     in new small businesses.
       Our deficit reduction plan has been the principal factor in 
     the dramatic decline in long-term interest rates since my 
     election in November 1992. Lower interest rates, in turn, 
     have sparked an investment-driven economic expansion that has 
     created more private sector jobs during the last year than 
     were created during the previous four. The fact that 
     investment is leading the recovery is good news for living 
     standards, because investment is the key to productivity 
     growth and hence to growth in real incomes for all Americans.


                    investing in our nation's future

       Laying the macroeconomic groundwork for sustained growth is 
     the government's first responsibility, but not its only 
     responsibility. Government also has a vital role to play in 
     providing some of the critical raw materials for economic 
     growth: science and technology, an educated and well-trained 
     work force, and public infrastructure. For much too long we 
     have underinvested in these areas, in comparison both with 
     our global competitors and with our own economic history. Our 
     overall budget deficit has masked another, equally disturbing 
     deficit--a deficit in the kinds of public investments that 
     lay the foundations for private sector prosperity.
       Like private investments, well-chosen public investments 
     raise future living standards. As a consequence, deficit 
     reduction at the expense of public investment has been and 
     will continue to be self-defeating. That is why our budget 
     package increases much-needed public investment even as it 
     takes steps to reduce the budget deficit. One without the 
     other will not work.
       With the help of the Congress, our public investment 
     initiatives in the areas of technology, infrastructure, the 
     environment, and education and training received about 70 
     percent of the funding we requested in fiscal year 1994. We 
     increased funding for such proven successes as Head Start and 
     the WIC program in the human resources area, and the Advanced 
     Technology Program of the National Institute of Standards and 
     Technology in the area of technological research. We also 
     launched a number of new initiatives, including the National 
     Service program, a new program of empowerment zones and 
     enterprise communities for urban and rural development, and 
     several new technology programs, including the Technology 
     Reinvestment Project, designed to help defense contractors 
     retool to serve civilian markets. We increased funding for 
     research into new environmental technologies. In addition, we 
     developed a comprehensive, cost-effective Climate Change 
     Action Plan, comprising nearly 50 initiatives to reduce U.S. 
     greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2000.
       As these examples bear witness, we have made significant 
     progress on our investment agenda, but much more remains to 
     be done. We will have to work together to find room to fund 
     essential new investments even as we reduce real government 
     outlays to meet tight annual caps on discretionary spending. 
     This will not be easy. But it is essential, for we face a 
     dual challenge--we must fundamentally change the composition 
     of discretionary spending even as we reduce it in real terms.
       This year my Administration is requesting funding for 
     several new investment initiatives. Our Goals 2000 proposal 
     will encourage local innovation in and accelerate the pace of 
     school reform. It will link world-class academic and 
     occupational standards to grassroots education reforms all 
     across America. Our School-to-Work initiative will provide 
     opportunities for post-secondary training for those not going 
     on to college. Our reemployment and training program will 
     streamline today's patchwork of training programs and make 
     them a source of new skills for people who lose their jobs. 
     Finally, our proposed welfare reform will provide the 
     support, job training, and child care necessary to move 
     people off welfare after 2 years. That is the only way we 
     will make welfare what it ought to be: a second chance, not a 
     way of life.


                    reforming our health care system

       This year we will also make history by reforming the 
     Nation's health care system. We face a health care crisis 
     that demands a solution, both for the health of our citizens 
     and for the health of our economy over the long run. The 
     United States today spends more on health care relative to 
     the size of its economy than any other advanced industrial 
     country. Yet we insure a smaller fraction of our population, 
     and we rank poorly on important overall health indicators 
     such as life expectancy and infant mortality. Over 15 percent 
     of Americans--nearly 39 million people--were uninsured

[[Page 182]]

     throughout 1992. And tens of millions more have inadequate 
     insurance or risk becoming uninsured should they lose their 
     jobs. Meanwhile health care costs continue to climb, 
     increasing premiums and medical bills for American families 
     and aggravating budget crises at all levels of government. 
     Both the Office of Management and Budget and the 
     Congressional Budget Office have concluded that unless the 
     system is reformed, rising health care costs will begin 
     pushing the Federal budget deficit back upward as this 
     century comes to a close.
       Piecemeal approaches to solving our health care crisis will 
     not work. If we simply squeeze harder on Federal health 
     spending, without attempting systemwide reform, more of the 
     costs of covering health services guaranteed by the 
     government will be shifted to the private sector, and medical 
     care for the elderly, the disadvantaged, and the disabled 
     will be put at risk. Similarly, if we attempt to provide 
     universal coverage without complementary measures to improve 
     competition and sharpen incentives for cost-conscious 
     decisions, costs will continue to escalate.
       Our health care reform proposal, while bold and 
     comprehensive, builds on the strengths of our current, 
     market-based system. Our approach preserves consumer choice 
     and our largely employer-based private insurance 
     arrangements. It relies on market competition and private 
     incentives, not price controls and bureaucracy, to provide 
     health security for all Americans, to rein in health care 
     costs, and to solve our long-run budget deficit problem.


                         opening foreign markets

       Raising the living standards of all Americans is the 
     fundamental economic goal of my Administration. That is why 
     all of our initiatives in international trade share a common 
     purpose: to open markets and promote American exports. This 
     emphasis on exports is driven by two simple facts. First, 
     America is part of an increasingly integrated world economy 
     and must adapt to this new reality if we are to stay on top. 
     There is simply no way to close our borders and return to the 
     insular days of the 1950s. To try to do so would be an 
     exercise in futility, doomed not only to fail but to lower 
     living standards in the process. Second, export industries 
     offer the kind of high-wage, high-skill jobs the country 
     needs. By shifting production toward more exports, we will 
     shift the composition of employment toward better jobs. In 
     short, to realize our goal of higher living standards for all 
     Americans, we must compete, not retreat.
       The year just past will go down in the history books as a 
     watershed for trade liberalization. With your help, we 
     enacted the North American Free Trade Agreement, which links 
     the United States, Canada, and Mexico together in the world's 
     largest marketplace. We also successfully completed the 
     Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, 
     which promises to add as much as $100 billion to $200 billion 
     to the Nation's output by the end of a decade. And we are now 
     on a course of increasing trade and investment liberalization 
     with the rapidly growing economies of East Asia and the 
     Pacific, which will be a major source of new export 
     opportunities for American products in the coming years. At 
     home we have eliminated much of our export control system and 
     have rationalized our export promotion activities to help our 
     producers, workers, and farmers increase their sales around 
     the world.


                 improving the efficiency of government

       My Administration is committed to improving the Federal 
     government's efficiency across the board. The National 
     Performance Review (NPR), completed under the bold leadership 
     of Vice President Gore, provides a road map for what must be 
     done. The NPR's report shows how substantial budgetary 
     savings can be realized by making existing programs more 
     efficient and cutting those that are no longer necessary. As 
     a result of our efforts to reinvent how the government 
     performs, we will reduce the Federal bureaucracy by 252,000 
     positions, bringing it down to the lowest level in decades.
       My Administration is also committed to reducing the burden 
     of government regulations by improving the regulatory review 
     process. My Executive Order on Regulatory Planning and Review 
     requires that all new regulations carefully balance costs and 
     benefits, that only those regulations whose benefits exceed 
     their costs be adopted, and that in each case the most cost-
     effective regulations be chosen.
       This year we will also work with the Congress to develop 
     the new regulatory framework required to encourage the 
     development of the national information superhighway. We must 
     cooperate with the private sector to connect every classroom, 
     every library, and every hospital in America to this highway 
     by the year 2000. Rapid access to the most advanced 
     information available will increase productivity and living 
     standards, help to educate our children, and help health 
     providers improve medical care for our citizens.


                          the economic outlook

       An economic strategy built on long-run investments will not 
     bear fruit overnight. But there are already signs that our 
     policy initiatives are beginning to pay off. Prospects for 
     sustained economic expansion look far brighter now than they 
     did a year ago, when my Administration first asked for your 
     support. Growth of real gross domestic product increased 
     steadily over the course of 1993, and the economic expansion 
     has continued into 1994. Consumer spending should remain 
     healthy because of continued gains in employment and output, 
     and investment spending should remain strong because of low 
     long-term interest rates and increasing levels of demand. Low 
     interest rates will also continue to support the recent 
     expansion in residential construction. The Administration 
     forecasts that the economy will grow at 3 percent in 1994 and 
     will remain on track to create 8 million jobs over 4 years.
       As 1994 begins, our economy is strong and growing stronger. 
     With continued deficit reduction, more public investment, a 
     reformed health care system, increased exports, and a 
     reinvented government, we can create the foundations for an 
     even more prosperous America.

     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. 6) to extend for six years the authorizations 
     of appropriations for the programs under the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965, and for certain 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 section 302(f) of the

[[Page 186]]

     Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. General debate 
     shall be confined to the bill and shal not exceed two hours 
     equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Education and Labor. 
     After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
     amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to 
     consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment 
     under the five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute recommended by the Committee on Education and 
     Labor now printed in the bill, modified by the amendment 
     printed in section 2 of this resolution. The committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall 
     be considered by title rather than by section. Each title of 
     the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as 
     modified, shall be considered as read. Title I of the 
     committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as 
     modified, shall be considered by title of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965, as proposed to be amended by 
     title I. Point of order against the committee amendment in 
     the nature of a substitute, as modified, for failure to 
     comply with clause 7 of rule XVI or clause 5(a) of rule XXI 
     are waived. No amendment to the committee amendment in the 
     nature of a substitute, as modified, shall be in order unless 
     printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
     this resolution or in the portion of the Congressional Record 
     designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII prior 
     to Friday, February 25, 1994. Before consideration of any 
     other amendment it shall be in order to consider the 
     amendments printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
     accompanying this resolution. Each amendment printed in the 
     report may be offered only in the order printed, may be 
     offered only by a Member designated in the report, may amend 
     portions of the bill not yet read for amendment, shall be 
     considered as read, shall be debatable for one hour equally 
     divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, 
     shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 
     to a demand for division of the question in the House or in 
     the Committee of the Whole. Amendments caused to be printed 
     by Representative Kildee of Michigan may be considered en 
     bloc, 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. At the conclusion of 
     consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall 
     rise and report the bill to the House with such amendments as 
     may have been adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote 
     in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the 
     Whole to the bill or to the committee amendment in the nature 
     of a substitute, as modified. The previous question shall be 
     considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to 
     final passage without intervening motion except one motion to 
     recommit with or without instructions.
       Sec. 2. The amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     recommended by the Committee on Education and Labor now 
     printed in the bill is modified by striking section 8014 of 
     the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 
     proposed to be amended by title I (page 729, line 15, through 
     page 730, line 21).

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. BEILENSON, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof, 
the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to

     SEC. 2403. DEFINITION.

       For the purposes of this part the term ``effective schools 
     programs'' means school-based programs that may encompass 
     preschool through secondary school levels and that have the 
     objectives of (1) promoting school-level planning, 
     instructional improvement, and staff development, (2) 
     increasing the academic achievement levels of all children 
     and particularly educationally deprived children, and (3) 
     achieving as ongoing conditions in the school the following 
     factors identified through effective schools research as 
     distinguishing effective from ineffective schools:
       (1) strong and effective administrative and instructional 
     leadership that creates consensus on instructional goals and 
     organizational capacity for instructional problem solving;
       (2) emphasis on the acquisition of basic and higher order 
     skills;
       (3) a safe and orderly school environment that allows 
     teachers and pupils to focus their energies on academic 
     achievement;
       (4) a climate of expectation that virtually all children 
     can learn under appropriate conditions; and
       (5) continuous assessment of students and programs to 
     evaluate the effects of instruction.

       ``(a) Maintenance of Effort.--(1) Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), a State is entitled to receive its full 
     allocation of funds under this part for any fiscal year if 
     the Secretary finds that either the combined fiscal effort 
     per student or the aggregate expenditures within the State 
     with respect to the provision of free public education for 
     the preceding fiscal year was not less than 90 percent of 
     such combined fiscal effort or aggregate expenditures for the 
     second preceding fiscal year.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall reduce the amount of the 
     allocation of funds under this part in any fiscal year in the 
     exact proportion to which the State fails to meet the 
     requirements of paragraph (1) by falling below 90 percent of 
     both the fiscal effort per student and aggregate expenditures 
     (using the measure most favorable to the State), and no such 
     lesser amount shall be used for computing the effort required 
     under paragraph (1) for subsequent years.

     requirements of this subsection if the Secretary determines 
     that

     such a waiver would be equitable due to exceptional or 
     uncontrollable circumstances such as a natural disaster or a 
     precipitous and unforeseen decline in the financial resources 
     of the State.
       ``(b) Federal Funds Supplementary.--A State or local 
     educational agency may use and allocate funds received under 
     this part only so as to supplement and, to the extent 
     practical, increase the level of funds that would, in the 
     absence of Federal funds made available under this part, be 
     made available from non-Federal sources, and in no case may 
     such funds be used so as to supplant funds from non-Federal

     consistent with the number of children in the school district 
     of a local educational agency which is eligible to receive 
     funds under this part or which serves the area in which a 
     program or project assisted under this part is located who 
     are enrolled in private nonprofit elementary and secondary 
     schools, or with respect to instructional or personnel 
     training programs funded by the State educational agency from 
     funds reserved for State use, such agency, after consultation 
     with appropriate private school officials, shall provide for 
     the benefit of such children in such schools secular, 
     neutral, and nonideological services, materials, and 
     equipment, including the participation of the teachers of 
     such children (and other educational personnel serving such 
     children) in training programs, and the repair, minor 
     remodeling, or construction of public facilities as may be 
     necessary for their provision (consistent with subsection (c) 
     of this section), or, if such services, materials, and 
     equipment are not feasible or necessary in one or more such 
     private schools as determined by the local educational agency 
     after consultation with the appropriate private school 
     officials, shall provide such other arrangements as will 
     assure equitable participation of such children in the 
     purposes and benefits of this part.

     subsection (a)(1) of this section in the school district of a 
     local educational agency, the State educational agency shall 
     make arrangements, such as through contracts with nonprofit 
     agencies or organizations, under which children in private 
     schools in that district are provided with services and 
     materials to the extent that would have occurred if the local 
     educational agency had received funds under this part.
       ``(3) The requirements of this section relating to the 
     participation of children, teachers, and other personnel 
     serving such children shall apply to programs and projects 
     carried out under this part by a State or local educational 
     agency, whether directly or through grants to or contracts 
     with other public or private agencies, institutions, or 
     organizations.

     pursuant to subsection (a) shall be equal (consistent with 
     the number of children to be served) to expenditures for 
     programs under this part for children enrolled in the public 
     schools of the local educational agency, taking into account 
     the needs of the individual children and other factors which 
     relate to such expenditures, and when funds available to a 
     local educational agency under this part are used to 
     concentrate programs or projects on a particular group, 
     attendance area, or grade or age level, children enrolled in 
     private schools who are included within the group, attendance 
     area, or grade or age level selected for such concentration 
     shall, after consultation with the appropriate private school 
     officials, be assured equitable participation in the purposes 
     and benefits of such programs or projects.

     part, and title to materials, equipment, and property 
     repaired, remodeled, or constructed therewith, shall be in a 
     public agency for the uses and purposes provided in this 
     part, and a public agency shall administer such funds and

     shall be provided by employees of a public agency or through 
     contract by such public agency with a person, an association, 
     agency, or corporation who or which, in the provision of such 
     services, is independent of such private school and of any 
     religious organizations, and such employment or contract 
     shall be under the control and supervision of such public 
     agency, and the funds provided under this part shall not be 
     commingled with State or local funds.

     provision of law a State or local educational agency is 
     prohibited from providing for the participation in programs 
     of children enrolled in private elementary and secondary 
     schools, as required by this section, the Secretary shall 
     waive such requirements and shall arrange for the provision 
     of services to such children through arrangements which shall 
     be subject to the requirements of this section.
       ``(e) Waiver and Provision of Services.--(1) If the 
     Secretary determines that a State or a local educational 
     agency has substantially failed or is unwilling to provide 
     for the participation on an equitable basis of children 
     enrolled in private elementary and secondary schools as 
     required by this section, the Secretary may waive such 
     requirements and shall arrange for the provision of services 
     to such children through arrangements which shall be subject 
     to the requirements of this section.

     complaint that could result in a determination under this 
     subsection or subsection (d), the Secretary may withhold from 
     the allocation of the affected State or local educational 
     agency the amount estimated by the Secretary to be necessary 
     to pay the cost of those services.
       ``(f) Determination.--Any determination by the Secretary 
     under this section shall continue in effect until the 
     Secretary determines that there will no longer be any failure 
     or inability on the part of the State or local educational 
     agency to meet the requirements of subsections (a) and (b).
       ``(g) Payment From State Allotment.--When the Secretary 
     arranges for services pursuant to this section, the Secretary 
     shall, after consultation with the appropriate public and 
     private school officials, pay the cost of such services, 
     including the administrative costs of arranging for those 
     services, from the appropriate allotment of the State under 
     this part.
       ``(h) Review.--(1) The Secretary shall not take any final 
     action under this section until the State educational agency 
     and the local educational agency affected by such action have 
     had an opportunity, for at least 45 days after receiving 
     written notice thereof, to submit written objections and to 
     appear before the Secretary or the Secretary's designee to 
     show cause why that action should not be taken.

     dissatisfied with the Secretary's final action after a 
     proceeding under paragraph (1) of this subsection, it may, 
     within 60 days after notice of such action, file with the 
     United States court of appeals for the circuit in which such 
     State is located a petition for review of that action. A copy 
     of the petition shall be forthwith transmitted by the clerk 
     of the court to the Secretary. The Secretary thereupon shall 
     file in the court the record of the proceedings on which the 
     Secretary 
     based this action, as provided in section 2112 of title 28, 
     United States Code.
       ``(3) The findings of fact by the Secretary, if supported 
     by substantial evidence, shall be conclusive; but the court, 
     for good cause shown, may remand the case to the Secretary to 
     take further evidence and the Secretary may thereupon make 
     new or modified findings of fact and may modify the 
     Secretary's previous action, and shall file in the court the 
     record of the further proceedings. Such new or modified 
     findings of fact shall likewise be conclusive if supported by 
     substantial evidence.
       ``(4) Upon the filing of such petition, the court shall 
     have jurisdiction to affirm the action of the Secretary or to 
     set it aside, in whole or in part. The judgment of the court 
     shall be subject to review by the Supreme Court of the United 
     States upon certiorari or certification as provided in 
     section 1254 of title 28, United States Code.

     with any local educational agency and with the appropriate 
     State educational agency, determines for a fiscal year ending 
     prior to October 1, 1999--
       ``(1) that the United States owns Federal property in the 
     local educational agency, and that such property--
       ``(A) has been acquired by the United States since 1938;

     property in the local educational agency which the United 
     States owned before 1939; and

     times when so acquired) aggregating 10 percent or more of the 
     assessed value of all real property in the local educational 
     agency (similarly determined as of the time or times when 
     such Federal property was so acquired); and
       ``(2) that such agency is not being substantially 
     compensated for the loss in revenue resulting from such 
     ownership by increases in revenue accruing to the agency from 
     the conduct of Federal activities with respect to such 
     Federal property,

     that such amount shall be reduced by the Secretary by an 
     amount equal to the amount of revenue, if any, that such 
     agency received from activities conducted on such property 
     during the previous fiscal year.
       ``(B) If funds appropriated under section 8013(a) are 
     insufficient to pay the amount determined under subparagraph

     subsection, a local educational agency may not be paid an 
     amount under this section which exceeds the difference of--
       ``(i) the maximum amount that such agency is eligible to 
     receive for such fiscal year under section 8004(b)(1)(C); and

     rate.--In calculating the amount that a local educational 
     agency shall be paid for a fiscal year, the Secretary shall 
     apply the current levied real property tax rate for current 
     expenditures levied by fiscally independent local educational 
     agencies or imputed, for fiscally dependent local educational 
     agencies, to the current annually determined aggregate 
     assessed value of such acquired Federal property.

     aggregate assessed value of such acquired Federal property 
     shall be determined (on the basis of the highest and best use 
     of property adjacent to such acquired Federal property as of 
     the time such value is determined), and provided to the 
     Secretary, by the local official responsible for assessing 
     the value of real property located in the jurisdiction of 
     such local educational agency for the purpose of levying a 
     property tax.

     the purposes of this section, any real property with respect 
     to which payments are being made under section 13 of the 
     Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 shall not be regarded 
     as Federal property.

     be deemed to own Federal property for the purposes of this 
     Act, where--

       ``(1) prior to the transfer of Federal property, the United 
     States owned Federal property meeting the requirements of

     would receive if it were not so eligible.

       ``(1) In general.--A State may reduce State aid to a local 
     educational agency that receives a payment under sections

       ``(A) In general.--For purposes of paragraph (1), a program 
     of State aid equalizes expenditures among local educational 
     agencies if, in the second preceding fiscal year, the amount 
     of per-pupil expenditures made by, or per-pupil revenues 
     available to, the local educational agency in the State with 
     the highest such per-pupil expenditures or revenues did not 
     exceed the amount of such per-pupil expenditures made by, or 
     per-pupil revenues available to, the local educational agency 
     in the State with the lowest such expenditures or revenues by 
     more than 10 percent.

     expenditures or revenues above the 95th percentile or below 
     the 5th percentile of such expenditures or revenues in the

     State aid reflects the additional cost of providing free 
     public education in particular types of local educational 
     agencies, such as those that are geographically isolated, or 
     to particular types of students, such as children with 
     disabilities.

     Secretary determines that the State has substantially revised 
     its program of State aid, the Secretary may certify such 
     program for any fiscal year only if--

     data, that the State's program will meet the 10 percent 
     disparity standard described in paragraph (2) in that fiscal 
     year; and

     that, if final data do not demonstrate that the State's 
     program met such standard for that year (or that it met such 
     standard with a greater percentage of disparity than 
     anticipated), the State will pay to each affected local 
     educational agency the amount by which it reduced State aid 
     to the local educational agency on the basis of such 
     certification, or a proportionate share thereof, as the case 
     may be.

  Mr. MOAKLEY, by direction of the Committee on Rules, reported (Rept. 
No. 103-427) the resolution (H. Res. 374) providing for a conference 
with the Senate on an amendment of the House to the bill (S. 636) to 
amend the Public Health Service Act to permit individuals to have

Para. 16.10  privileges of the house--house of representatives post 
          office

  Mr. GEPHARDT, rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following privileged resolution (H. Res. 375):

       Whereas the House is on notice pursuant to Rule IX that it 
     may soon consider a proposal to direct the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct to investigate the former 
     operations of the House Post Office;
       Whereas matters relating to the former operations of the 
     House Post Office are the subject of an ongoing criminal 
     investigation by the United States Attorney of the District 
     of Columbia;
       Whereas pursuant to its rules, the Committee on Standards 
     of Official Conduct traditionally defers inquiry with respect 
     to a matter that is the subject of an ongoing in- 

[[Page 205]]

     vestigation by an appropriate law enforcement or regulatory 
     authority;
       Whereas the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has 
     on several occasions agreed to defer inquiry with respect to 
     the former operations of the House Post Office, and has 
     deferred inquiry in other matters regarding current Members 
     where investigations by other authorities are proceeding;
       Whereas by letters of November 25, 1992, September 9, 1993, 
     and October 26, 1993, then Assistant Attorney General Lee 
     Rawls, then United States Attorney J. Ramsey Johnson, and 
     current United States Attorney Eric Holder, respectively, 
     requested that the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct 
     defer any inquiry into the former operations of the House 
     Post Office and related matters;
       Whereas on February 23, 1994, the United States Attorney of 
     the District of Columbia delivered the following letter to 
     the Speaker and the Republican Leader:

                                        Department of Justice,

                                Washington, DC, February 23, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representaties, Washington, DC.
     Hon. Robert H. Michel,
     Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker and Congressman Michel: I am writing to 
     express my concern that certain actions reportedly being 
     considered by the House of Representatives could 
     significantly damage a criminal investigation being actively 
     pursued by this Office. Like my two immediate predecessors as 
     United States Attorney for this District, Jay B. Stephens and 
     J. Ramsey Johnson, I urge the House to refrain from such 
     actions, and to affirm the paramount public interest in 
     permitting the grand jury to determine fairly whether the 
     criminal laws have been violated, whether by Members of 
     Congress or others. My request is all the more urgent now, as 
     this important investigation is in its final stages and will 
     be concluded in the near future.
       As you know, the United States Attorney's Office, in 
     conjunction with a federal grand jury, has been conducting a 
     criminal investigation of matters that related originally to 
     the operation of the House Post Office. That original phase 
     of the investigation, which has resulted in the criminal 
     convictions of seven former employees of the House Post 
     Office and one former congressional aide, reached its most 
     significant point so far in July 1993, with the guilty plea 
     of former House Postmaster Robert V. Rota. With the 
     cooperation of Mr. Rota, the investigation turned to 
     allegations of criminal conduct by other individuals, 
     specifically Members of Congress who conducted certain 
     financial transactions through the House Post Office. This 
     aspect of the investigation is continuing.
       As you also are aware (because of disclosures mandated by 
     House Rule 50) in the last few months the grand jury's 
     investigation has expanded to include additional allegations 
     of criminal misconduct beyond those tied to the House Post 
     Office, including matters involving the House Finance Office 
     and the House Office Supply Service (known as the House 
     Stationery Store). These relatively recent additional 
     developments are now fully within the purview of the grand 
     jury's criminal investigation.
       It is my understanding, however, that despite the existence 
     of this active and important criminal investigation, the 
     House may soon be asked to vote on House Resolution 238. This 
     resolution would specifically direct the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct to investigate whether Members 
     of Congress received cash from the House Post Office.
       Inquiry into these matters by a committee of the House 
     would pose a severe risk to the integrity of the criminal 
     investigation. Inevitably, any such inquiry would overlap 
     substantially with the grand jury's activities. Among other 
     concerns, the House certainly would seek to interview the 
     same witnesses or subjects who are central to the criminal 
     investigation. Such interviews could jeopardize the criminal 
     probe in several respects, including the dangers of 
     congressional immunity, of Speech-or-Debate issues, and of 
     unwarranted public disclosure of matters at the core of the 
     criminal investigation. This inherent conflict would be 
     greatly magnified by the fact that the House would be 
     investigating matters that are criminal in nature, and would 
     be covering essentially the same ground as the grand jury. 
     This Office had occasion to voice similar concerns during the 
     operations-and-management review of the House Post Office 
     that was conducted by a task force of the Committee on House 
     Administration; yet that review as far more limited in scope, 
     and far easier to separate from the criminal probe, than the 
     investigation required by House Resolution 238.
       These threats to the grand jury investigation would not be 
     lessened by the portion of the resolution that would permit 
     the Committee to defer its inquiry as to any particular 
     Member, if the Department of Justice stated in writing that 
     that Member was being investigated. Wholly apart from the 
     legal issues involved in the Justice Department's identifying 
     individuals who are under criminal investigation, the idea of 
     excluding the conduct of one or more identified individuals 
     from the congressional inquiry does almost nothing to protect 
     the integrity of the overall criminal investigation. That 
     investigation encompasses the interrelated conduct of 
     numerous persons, and cannot be divided and compartmentalized 
     in such a manner.
       I and my predecessors have acknowledged the importance to 
     the House of its ability to review and police the internal 
     operations, management, and procedures of congressional 
     institutions. In particular, we are sensitive to the special 
     responsibility of the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct to examine possible violations of House ethical 
     standards. Nevertheless, it is unquestionably the province of 
     the grand jury to investigate, without interference, specific 
     criminal allegations against particular individuals, 
     regardless of who they may be or to what institution of 
     government they may belong. Moreover, the vital public 
     interest in fair and effective law enforcement requires that 
     any such investigation be shielded vigorously from actions 
     that might endanger its integrity.
       For these reasons, it has been the consistent position of 
     this Office, throughout the life of the investigation, that 
     the House should defer its own inquiries until the grand jury 
     investigation is completed. I make that request of you again 
     now, in the strongest possible terms. I ask the House of 
     Representatives to forbear from any proposed actions or 
     inquiries in the areas covered by the grand jury's ongoing 
     criminal investigation, both in order to avoid compromising 
     that investigation at this late stage, and in order to 
     further the public interest in preserving the fairness, 
     thoroughness, and confidentiality of the grand jury process.
       Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
                                              Eric H. Holder, Jr.,
                                                    U.S. Attorney.

       Whereas, the House should exercise particular caution so as 
     not to impede, delay, or otherwise interfere with an ongoing 
     criminal investigation that may involve its own Members; 
     Therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House supports the decision of the 
     Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to defer inquiry 
     on matters relating to the former operation of the House Post 
     Office; and be it
       Further resolved, That the Committee on Standards of 
     Official Conduct shall continue to consult with the United 
     States Attorney and continue to review its decision to defer 
     inquiry in this matter. At such time as the Committee 
     determines that a Committee inquiry would no longer interfere 
     with the criminal investigation, the Committee shall proceed, 
     pursuant to its rules, with such inquiry as it deems 
     appropriate.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. GEPHARDT, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOYER, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. ISTOOK 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. 16.13  privileges of the house

  Mr. ISTOOK rose to a question of the privileges of the House and, 
pursuant to the order of the House of February 23, 1994, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 238); as amended:

       Whereas, allegations reported in public and made in 
     official court documents that personnel of the House Post 
     Office provided illegal cash to certain members in three 
     ways: (1) cash instead of stamps for official vouchers, (2) 
     cash for postage stamps which, had earlier been purchased 
     with official vouchers, and (3) cash for campaign checks;
       Whereas, these allegations directly affect the rights of 
     the House collectively, its safety, dignity, and the 
     integrity of its proceedings, and the rights, reputation, and 
     conduct of its Members:
       Whereas, Article, I, Section V of the Constitution gives 
     each House of the Congress responsibility over disorderly 
     behavior of its Members:
       Whereas, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has 
     jurisdiction over the conduct and behavior of current House 
     Members, Officers, and employees, including investigatory 
     authority, and is the appropriate body of this House to 
     conduct any inquiry: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct is instructed to investigate immediately all possible 
     violations that are related, but not limited to, the 
     documents received by the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct from the Committee on House Administration, and the 
     allegations stated above.
       Further resolved, The Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct shall coordinate its investigation with the related 
     efforts of the Department of Justice so as not to jeopardize 
     any ongoing criminal investigation.
       Further resolved, That in pursuing its investigations, the 
     Committee on Standards of Official Conduct shall determine 
     Members, Officers or employees who have violated House rules, 
     practices and procedures in connection with the House Post 
     Office.
       Further resolved, The Committee shall inform the Department 
     of Justine regarding the procedures and aspects the Committee 
     intends to investigate. If the Department of Justice then 
     responds that a specific matter the Committee intends to 
     investigate is material to, or subject of an official 
     investigation, the Committee may defer that inquiry pending 
     the conclusion of the investigation by the Department of 
     Justice.
       Further resolved, That the Committee on Standards of 
     Official Conduct shall file a public status report within 60 
     days of the adoption of the resolution and periodically 
     thereafter. 

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to lay the resolution on the table.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House lay the resolution on the table?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOYER, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. ISTOOK 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. 17.6  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to iraq

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. VISCLOSKY, 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 August 2, 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 No. 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 No. 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, such as 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 U.N. 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 report 
covers events from August 2, 1993, through February 1, 1994.
  1. During the reporting period, there were technical amendments to the 
Iraqi Sanctions Regulations relating to notification of transfers into 
blocked accounts and registration of persons holding blocked property, 
58 Fed. Reg. 47643 (September 10, 1993). A copy of the amendments is 
attached for reference.
  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. Three penalties totaling nearly $54,000 were collected from 
three banks for violation of the prohibitions against funds transfers 
to Iraq, and noncompliance with reporting requirements and an Office of 
Foreign Assets Control directive license.

  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 No. 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 July 20, 1993, following payments by the 
Governments of Saudi Arabia and Denmark of, respectively $40,589,419.00 
and $674,360.00, to the special United Nations-controlled account, 
entitled United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 778 Escrow 
Account, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was directed to transfer 
a corresponding amount of $41,263,779.00 from the blocked account it 
holds to the United Nations-controlled account. Similarly, on August 2, 
1993, following the payment of $1,765,138.33 by the Government of the 
United Kingdom, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was directed to 
transfer a corresponding amount of $1,765,138.33 to the United Nations-
controlled account; on September 11, 1993, following payments of 
$1,547,054.35 by the Government of Canada, $276,000.00 by the 
Government of Greece, $3,196,897.72 from the Commission of the European 
Community, and $1,006,614.89 from the Government of Denmark, the 
Federal Reserve Bank of New York was directed to transfer a 
corresponding amount of $6,026,566.96 to the United Nations-controlled 
account; and on December 15, 1993, following payments of $5,223,880.60 
by the Government of the United Kingdom, $621,426.80 by the Government 
of Germany, and $1,219,941.98 from the Government of the Netherlands, 
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was directed to transfer a 
corresponding amount of $7,065,249.38 to the United Nations-controlled 
account. Total transfers from the blocked Federal Reserve Bank of New 
York account since issuance of Executive Order No. 12817 have amounted 
to $107,613,270.99 of the $200 million for which the United States is 
potentially obligated, on a matching basis, pursuant to United Nations 
Security Council Resolution No. 778.
  5. Since the last report, there have been developments in one case. 
In Campia et al. v. Newcomb et al., a settlement was entered into by 
the parties addressing payment of back rent to the landlord and return 
to the landlord of premises leased by the Matrix Churchill Corporation. 
To implement the settlement, certain blocked property owned by Matrix 
Churchill was sold, with the proceeds placed in a blocked account. 
Matrix Churchill's remaining property and records were placed in secure 
storage.
  6. The Office of Foreign Assets Control has issued a total of 444 
specific licenses regarding transactions pertaining to Iraq or Iraqi 
assets since August 1990. Since my last report, 53 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, the execution of powers of attorney relating to the 
administration of personal assets and decedents' estates in Iraq, and 
the protection of pre-existent intellectual property rights in Iraq.
  7. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6 month 
period from August 2, 1993, through February

[[Page 211]]

1, 1994, that are directly attributable to the exercise of powers and 
authorities conferred by the declaration of a national emergency with 
respect to Iraq are reported at about $3.1 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, despite international will, has failed to comply fully 
with United Nations Security Council resolutions. Security Council 
resolutions on Iraq call 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, the return of Kuwaiti assets stolen during 
Iraq's illegal occupation of Kuwait, renunciation of terrorism, an end 
to internal Iraqi repression of its own civilian population, and the 
facilitation of access of international relief organizations to all 
those in need in all parts of Iraq. Nonetheless, we see a pattern of 
defiance: repeated public claims to Kuwait, sponsorship of terrorism, 
incomplete declarations to weapons inspectors, and ongoing widespread 
human rights violations, among other things. 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. For more than 2 years, Baghdad has maintained 
a complete blockade of food, fuel, and medicine on northern Iraq. The 
Iraqi military routinely harasses residents of the north, and has 
attempted to ``Arabize'' Kurdish, Turcoman, and Assyrian areas in the 
north. Iraq continues to launch artillery attacks against civilian 
population centers in the south, and its efforts to drain the southern 
marshes have forced thousands to flee to neighboring States.
  In 1991, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolutions 706 
and 712 that permit Iraq to sell up to $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. In 
October 1993, the Iraqi government informed the United Nations that it 
would not implement Resolutions 706 and 712.
  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 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).

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am writing to inform you of my intent to add Ukraine 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 Ukraine's level of development and initiation of economic 
reforms, I have determined that it is appropriate to extend GSP benefits 
to Ukraine.
  This notice is submitted in accordance with section 502(a)(1) of the 
Trade Act of 1974.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, March 3, 1994.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 103-216).

  Thereupon, Mr. PRICE of North Carolina, Chairman, announced that 413 
Members had been recorded, a quorum.
  The Committee resumed its business.

Para. 20.18  recorded vote

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

       Page 408, after line 12, insert the following paragraph 
     (and redesignate succeeding paragraphs accordingly):
       ``(6) Every day approximately 3,000 children start smoking 
     for the first time and 30 percent of all high school seniors 
     are smokers. Half of all new smokers begin before the age of 
     14, 90 percent before the age of 21, and the average age of 
     the first use of smokeless tobacco products is under the age 
     of 10. Use of tobacco products has been linked to serious 
     health problems. However, because the nicotine in tobacco is 
     an addictive substance, many tobacco users find it difficult 
     to stop using tobacco once they have started. Drug education 
     and prevention programs that include tobacco have been 
     effective in reducing teenage use of tobacco. Drug prevention 
     programs for youth that address only controlled drugs send an 
     erroneous message that the use of tobacco does not have 
     adverse consequences. To be credible, messages opposing 
     illegal drug use by youth should also address other harmful 
     substances.''
       Page 439, strike lines 1 through 17, and insert the 
     following:
       ``(1) The term `drug and violence prevention' means--
       ``(A) with respect to drugs, prevention, early 
     intervention, rehabilitation referral, or education related 
     to the illegal use of alcohol, the use of tobacco and the use 
     of controlled, illegal, addictive, or harmful substances, 
     including inhalants and anabolic steroids; and
       ``(B) with respect to violence, the promotion of school 
     safety, such that students and school personnel are free from 
     violent and disruptive acts, including sexual harassment, on 
     school premises, going to and from school, and at school-
     sponsored activities, through the creation and maintenance of 
     a school environment that is free of weapons and fosters 
     individual responsibility and respect for the rights of 
     others.

       (3) Effect on liability.--A report by a manufacturer, 
     distributor, retailer, or importer under paragraph (1) shall 
     not be interpreted, for any purpose, as an admission of

     protections of section 6(b) of the Consumer Product Safety

     to section 15(b) of such Act respecting a consumer product.

     proceeding under this subsection and section 11 of such Act 
     (15 U.S.C. 2060) shall not apply with respect to any standard 
     issued under such proceeding. The final standard shall take 
     effect 1 year from the date it is issued.
       (d) Failure to Meet Standards.--
       (1) Failure to meet interim standard.--Until the final 
     standard takes effect, a bicycle helmet that does not conform 
     to an interim standard as required under subsection (a)(1) 
     shall be considered in violation of a consumer product safety 
     standard promulgated under the Consumer Product Safety Act.
       (2) Status of final standard.--The final standard developed 
     under subsection (c) shall be considered a consumer product 
     safety standard promulgated under the Consumer Product Safety

       On October 1, 1994, or 240 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this title, whichever first occurs, there is 
     established and effective a consumer product safety standard 
     under section 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 
     2058), to eliminate or reduce the risk of injury or death 
     resulting from infants falling into 4-gallon to 6-gallon 
     buckets containing liquid. Such standard, when established,

     be removed, torn or defaced without the aid of tools or 
     solvents.
       (2) The label shall be at least 7 inches in height, and 
     3\1/2\ inches in width, or any larger size as the labeler may 
     choose.
       (3) The label shall be centered on one side of the bucket 
     just below the point where the handle is inserted.
       (4) The label shall have a border or other form of contrast 
     around its edges to delineate it from any other information 
     on the bucket.
       (5) The label shall bear (A) the signal word ``WARNING'' in 
     both English and Spanish, in bold uppercase lettering, and 
     (B) in upper and lower case lettering the words ``Children 
     Can Fall Into Bucket and Drown. Keep Children Away From 
     Buckets With Even a Small Amount of Liquid.'', with an 
     equivalent Spanish translation in at least the same type size 
     as English. The signal word panel shall be preceded by a 
     safety alert symbol consisting of an exclamation mark in a 
     triangle.
       (6) The label shall be clear and conspicuous and in 
     contrasting colors.
       (7) The label shall include a picture of a child falling 
     into a bucket containing liquid. An encircled slash symbol 
     shall be superimposed over, and surround the pictorial. The 
     picture shall be positioned between the signal word panel and 
     the message panel.

     SEC. 302. CERTAIN BUCKETS NOT AFFECTED.

       The standard established by section 301 applies only to 
     buckets manufactured or imported on or after the effective 
     date of such standard, and buckets manufactured or imported 
     before such effective date may be sold without the warning 
     label required by section 301 even though such sales occur 
     after that date. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, by 
     rule, shall prohibit a manufacturer, filler, distributor, and 
     retailer from

[[Page 232]]

     stockpiling buckets to which consumer product safety 
     standards established by section 301 of this title would have 
     applied but for the preceding sentence. For purposes of this 
     section, the term ``stockpiling'' shall have the same meaning 
     as that provided by section 9(g)(2) of the Consumer Product 
     Safety Act.

     SEC. 303. PROHIBITED ACTS.

       (a) Removal of Label.--Once placed on a plastic bucket

     Safety Act for any person in the chain of distribution of the 
     bucket to intentionally cover, obstruct, tear, deface or 
     remove the label.
       (b) Consumer Product Safety Standard.--The standard 
     established by section 301 of this title shall be considered 
     a consumer product safety standard established under the 
     Consumer Product Safety Act.

     SEC. 304. EXISTING LABELS.

       Notwithstanding section 301, any bucket label in use on 
     September 1, 1993, may, if such label is substantially in 
     conformance with the requirements of paragraphs (3), (4), 
     (5), and (6) of section 301, continue to be placed on buckets 
     until 12 months after the date of the enactment of this 
     title. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, buckets 
     subject to the provisions of this section must bear both an 
     English and Spanish language label on and after the effective 
     date of the standard established by section 301.

     SEC. 305. AMENDMENTS.

       Section 553 of title 5, United States Code, shall apply 
     with respect to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's 
     issuance of any amendments or changes to the bucket labeling 
     standard established by section 301 of this title. Sections 7 
     and 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act shall not apply to 
     such amendments or changes.

     SEC. 306. RESPONSIBILITY FOR LABELING.

       (a) Labeling.--The standard established by section 301 
     requires the labeling of buckets covered by such standard to 
     be the responsibility of the manufacturer of any such 
     buckets, unless otherwise specified by contract between the 
     manufacturer, and either the filler, distributor, or retailer 
     of such buckets. Under no circumstances shall any such bucket 
     enter the stream of commerce without such label.
       (b) Time for Placing Labels.--The required label must be on 
     the bucket at the time it is sold or delivered to the end 
     user of the bucket or its contents or, in the case of a 
     bucket intended to be sold to the public in an empty state, 
     at the time it is shipped to a retailer for sale to the 
     public.

     SEC. 307. PERFORMANCE STANDARD.

       (a) Performance Standard.--Within 30 days following the 
     date of enactment of this title, the Consumer Product Safety 
     Commission shall commence a proceeding under the Consumer 
     Product Safety Act for the issuance of a performance standard 
     for buckets to address the drowning hazard associated with 
     this product. Such standard shall take effect at such time as 
     may be prescribed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 
     but in no event later than 15 months following the date of 
     the enactment of this title. The Consumer Product Safety 
     Commission shall consider any American Society for Testing 
     and Materials voluntary performance standard in existence 
     prior to such date of enactment.
       (b) Labeling Requirements.--The labeling requirements under 
     section 101 shall not apply to buckets certified by the 
     Consumer Product Safety Commission as meeting the performance 
     standard in subsection (a).

     SEC. 308. CONSULTATION.

       To avoid duplicative and conflicting labeling, the Consumer 
     Product Safety Commission shall complete a consultation with 
     relevant Federal agencies within 30 days following the date 
     of enactment of this Act.

     SEC. 309. REQUIREMENT FOR COMMISSION STUDY.

       (a) Study.--The Commission shall conduct a study to assess 
     the frequency of deaths and injuries arising from drowning 
     accidents in metal buckets, and the frequency and type of 
     uses of 4-gallon to 6-gallon metal containers in the home, to 
     determine whether special design and labeling standards are 
     needed for such containers. The Commission shall report the 
     results of the study to the Congress not later than one year 
     after the date of enactment of this Act.
       (b) Exemption.--During the pendency of such study, metal 
     containers which would otherwise be required to comply with 
     the labeling requirements of section 301 are exempt from such 
     requirements. Upon review of the results of the study, the 
     Commission shall decide whether to continue this exemption, 
     to require compliance by metal containers, or to consider 
     further study in the future.

  On motion of Mrs. COLLINS of Illinois, said Senate amendment was

Para. 20.23  subpoena

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

                                Congress of the United States,

                          House of Representatives, March 7, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: In accordance with House Rule 50, I 
     respectfully notify you of my receipt of a witness subpoena 
     from the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia.
       After consultation with the General Counsel to the House, I 
     have determined that compliance is not consistent with the 
     privileges and precedents of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                    Newt Gingrich.

Para. 20.24  message from the president--european union nuclear 
          cooperation

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  The United States has been engaged in nuclear cooperation with the 
European Community (now European Union) for many years. This cooperation 
was initiated under agreements that were concluded over three decades 
ago between the United States and the European Atomic Energy Community 
[EURATOM] and that extend until December 31, 1995. Since the inception 
of

[[Page 234]]

this cooperation, EURATOM has adhered to all its obligations under those 
agreements.
  The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 amended the Atomic Energy 
Act of 1954 to establish new nuclear export criteria, including a 
requirement that the United States have a right to consent to the 
reprocessing of fuel exported from the United States. Our present 
agreements for cooperation with EURATOM do not contain such a right. To 
avoid disrupting cooperation with EURATOM, a provision was included in 
the law to enable continued cooperation until March 10, 1980, if EURATOM 
agreed to negotiations concerning our cooperation agreements. EURATOM 
agreed in 1978 to such negotiations.
  The law also provides that nuclear cooperation with EURATOM can be 
extended on an annual basis after March 10, 1980, upon determination by 
the President that failure to cooperate would be seriously prejudicial 
to the achievement of U.S. non-proliferation objectives or otherwise 
jeopardize the common defense and security, and after notification to 
the Congress. President Carter made such a determination 14 years ago 
and signed Executive Order No. 12193, permitting nuclear cooperation 
with EURATOM to continue until March 10, 1981. President Reagan made 
such determinations in 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, and 
1988, and signed Executive Orders Nos. 12295, 12351, 12409, 12463, 
12506, 12554, 12587, and 12629 permitting nuclear cooperation to 
continue through March 10, 1989. President Bush made such determinations 
in 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992, and signed Executive Orders Nos. 12670, 
12706, 12753, and 12791 permitting nuclear cooperation to continue 
through March 10, 1993. Last year I signed Executive Order No. 12840 to 
extend cooperation for an additional year, until March 10, 1994.
  In addition to numerous informal contacts, the United States has 
engaged in frequent talks with EURATOM regarding the renegotiation of 
the U.S.-EURATOM agreements for cooperation. Talks were conducted in 
November 1978, September 1979, April 1980, January 1982, November 1983, 
March 1984, May, September, and November 1985, April and July 1986, 
September 1987, September and November 1988, July and December 1989, 
February, April, October, and December 1990, and September 1991. Formal 
negotiations on a new agreement were held in April, September, and 
December 1992, and in March, July, and October 1993. They are expected 
to continue this year.
  I believe that it is essential that cooperation between the United 
States and EURATOM continue, and likewise, that we work closely with our 
allies to counter the threat of proliferation of nuclear explosives. Not 
only would a disruption of nuclear cooperation with EURATOM eliminate 
any chance of progress in our talks with that organization related to 
our agreements, it would also cause serious problems in our overall 
relationships. Accordingly, I have determined that failure to continue 
peaceful nuclear cooperation with EURATOM would be seriously prejudicial 
to the achievement of U.S. nonproliferation objectives and would 
jeopardize the common defense and security of the United States. I 
therefore intend to sign an Executive order to extend the waiver of the 
application of the relevant export criterion of the Atomic Energy Act 
for an additional 12 months from March 10, 1994.
                                                    William J Clinton.  
  The White House, March 9, 1994. 

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-217).

Para. 20.25  senate bill referred

  A bill of the Senate of the following title was taken from the 
Speaker's table and, under the rule, referred as follows:

       S. 313. An Act to amend the San Juan Basin Wilderness 
     Protection Act of 1984 to designate additional lands as

     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of 
     the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 218) setting forth 
     the congressional budget for the United States Government for 
     the fiscal years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999. The first 
     reading of the concurrent resolution shall be dispensed with. 
     All points of order against the concurrent resolution and 
     against its consideration are waived. Initial general debate 
     shall be confined to the congressional budget and shall not 
     exceed two hours (including one hour on the subject of 
     economic goals and policies) equally divided and controlled 
     by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee 
     on the Budget. After initial general debate, an additional 
     period of general debate shall be confined to the subject of 
     the amendment numbered 4 in the report of the Committee on 
     Rules accompanying this resolution and shall not exceed one 
     hour equally divided and controlled by Representative Kasich 
     of Ohio and an opponent. After general debate on the subject 
     of the amendment numbered 4, an additional period of general 
     debate shall be confined to the subject of the amendment 
     numbered 3 of the report of the Committee on Rules and shall 
     not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by 
     Representative Mfume of Maryland and an opponent. After 
     general debate on the subject of the amendment numbered 3, 
     the concurrent resolution shall be considered for amendment 
     under the five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. 
     No amendment shall be in order except those printed in 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 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 amendments printed in the report are waived. If 
     more than one amendment in the nature of a substitute is 
     adopted, only the last to be adopted shall be considered as 
     finally adopted and reported to the House. After the 
     conclusion of consideration of the concurrent resolution for 
     amendment, and a final period of general debate, which shall 
     not exceed ten minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the 
     Budget, the Committee shall rise and report the concurrent 
     resolution to the House with such amendment as may have been 
     finally adopted. The previous question shall be considered as 
     ordered on the concurrent resolution and amendments thereto 
     to final adoption without intervening motion except 
     amendments offered by the chairman of the Committee on the 
     Budget pursuant to section 305(a)(5) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974 to achieve mathematical consistency. The 
     concurrent resolution shall not be subject to a demand for 
     division of the question of its adoption.

  On motion of Mr. DERRICK, the previous question was ordered on the

     SEC. 4. HEALTH CARE REFORM.

       (a) If health care reform legislation is reported 
     (including by a committee of conference), budget authority, 
     outlays, and new entitlement authority shall be allocated to 
     committees, and the total levels of budget authority, 
     outlays, and revenues shall be adjusted, to reflect such 
     legislation if the legislation in the form in which it will 
     be considered would not increase the total deficit for the 
     period of fiscal years 1995 through 1999.
       (b) Upon reporting of legislation described in subsection 
     (a) and again upon submission of a conference report on such 
     legislation, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget 
     shall publish in the Congressional Record revised allocations 
     under section 602(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
     and revised levels of total budget authority, outlays, and 
     revenues to carry out this section. Such allocations and 
     totals shall be considered as the allocations and aggregates 
     under this resolution.

     SEC. 5. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that the following legislation 
     should be enacted:
       (1) Legislation providing enforceable limits to control the 
     growth of entitlement or mandatory spending.
       (2) Amendments to the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 to 
     establish a regular procedure to provide assistance for 
     disasters and other emergencies without adding to the 
     deficit.
       (3) Legislation granting the President expedited rescission 
     authority over appropriations measures, as provided by H.R. 
     1578, as passed the House.

     SEC. 6. SENSE OF COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET ON SCORING HEALTH 
                   REFORM.

       It is the sense of the Committee on the Budget that all 
     financial transactions associated with the President's health 
     reform legislation or similar health reform legislation 
     relying on mandated payments to a Government entity be 
     treated as part of the Federal budget, including premium 
     payments by individuals and employees to health alliances 
     (which should be treated as receipts) and payments by health 
     alliances to providers (which should be treated as outlays), 
     for all purposes under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

     SEC. 7. SENSE OF COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET.

       (a) The Committee on the Budget is troubled by the Federal 
     Government's failure to enforce immigration laws and secure 
     United States borders from illegal immigration. The 
     Government has also failed to investigate and prosecute 
     Federal wage and hour violations, thus creating incentives to 
     hire persons illegally in the United States and exacerbating 
     the problem of illegal immigration.
       (b) The Committee on the Budget recognizes that the Federal 
     Government has an obligation to help fund increasing State 
     and local government costs directly resulting from 
     ineffective Federal enforcement efforts in this area. 
     Therefore, the Committee assumes that adequate funding in 
     this resolution will be used to reimburse States and local 
     governments for both authorized program costs and legally 
     binding obligations associated with providing:
       (1) Elementary and secondary education for undocumented 
     children in the public schools.
       (2) Emergency medical assistance to undocumented persons.
       (3) Law enforcement resources and personnel to incarcerate 
     and supervise parole of criminal aliens. This funding can 
     either be used by the Federal Government to take into custody 
     and incarcerate criminal aliens or to reimburse States and 
     local governments for their associated costs.
       (4) Services incidental to admission of refugees under the 
     Refugee Admission and Resettlement program.

     SEC. 8. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING RESERVE FUNDS FOR 
                   EMERGENCIES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the emergency designation under section 251 of the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 has 
     repeatedly been invoked to circumvent the discretionary 
     spending limits for other than emergency purposes;
       (2) amounts for emergencies should be set aside within a 
     reserve fund and subject to the discretionary spending limit;
       (3) the reserve fund shall total 1 percent of annual budget 
     outlays; and
       (4) emergency funding requirements in excess of amounts 
     held in the reserve fund should be offset by a reduction in 
     appropriations.

     SEC. 9. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED MANDATES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Federal Government should not diminish the fiscal 
     autonomy of State and local governments over their own 
     sources of revenue;
       (2) the Federal Government should not shift the costs of 
     administering Federal entitlements to State and local 
     governments;
       (3) the Federal Government's share of entitlement programs 
     should not be capped without providing States authority to 
     amend their financial or programmatic responsibilities to 
     continue meeting the mandated service; and
       (4) Congress should develop a mechanism to ensure that the 
     costs of mandates are considered during deliberations on 
     authorizing legislation.

     SEC. 10. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the baseline budget shows the likely course of Federal 
     revenues and spending if policies remain unchanged;
       (2) baseline budgeting has given rise to the practice of 
     calculating policy changes from an inflated spending level; 
     and
       (3) the baseline concept has been misused to portray 
     policies that would simply slow down the increase in spending 
     as spending reductions.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the President should submit a budget that compares 
     proposed spending levels for the budget year with the current 
     year; and
       (2) the starting point for deliberations on a budget 
     resolution should be the current year.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana, by unanimous 
consent, designated Mr. SERRANO as Chairman of the Committee of the 
Whole; and after some time spent therein,

     SEC. 4. HEALTH CARE REFORM.

       (a) If health care reform legislation is reported 
     (including by a committee of conference), budget authority, 
     outlays, and new entitlement authority shall be allocated to 
     committees, and the total levels of budget authority, 
     outlays, and revenues shall be adjusted, to reflect such 
     legislation if the legislation in the form in which it will 
     be considered would not increase the total deficit for the 
     period of fiscal years 1995 through 1999.
       (b) Upon reporting of legislation described in subsection 
     (a) and again upon submission of a conference report on such 
     legislation, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget 
     shall publish in the Congressional Record revised allocations 
     under section 602(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
     and revised levels of total budget authority, outlays, and 
     revenues to carry out this section. Such allocations and 
     totals shall be considered as the allocations and aggregates 
     under this resolution.

     SEC. 5. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that the following legislation 
     should be enacted:
       (1) Legislation providing enforceable limits to control the 
     growth of entitlement or mandatory spending.
       (2) Amendments to the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 to 
     establish a regular procedure to provide assistance for 
     disasters and other emergencies without adding to the 
     deficit.
       (3) Legislation granting the President expedited rescission 
     authority over appropriations measures, as provided by H.R. 
     1578, as passed the House.

     SEC. 6. SENSE OF COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET ON SCORING HEALTH 
                   REFORM.

       It is the sense of the Committee on the Budget that all 
     financial transactions associated with the President's health 
     reform legislation or similar health reform legislation 
     relying on mandated payments to a Government entity be 
     treated as part of the Federal budget, including premium 
     payments by individuals and employees to health alliances 
     (which should be treated as receipts) and payments by health 
     alliances to providers (which should be treated as outlays), 
     for all purposes under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

     SEC. 7. SENSE OF COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET.

       (a) The Committee on the Budget is troubled by the Federal 
     Government's failure to enforce immigration laws and secure 
     United States borders from illegal immigration. The 
     Government has also failed to investigate and prosecute 
     Federal wage and hour violations, thus creating incentives to 
     hire persons illegally in the United States and exacerbating 
     the problem of illegal immigration.
       (b) The Committee on the Budget recognizes that the Federal 
     Government has an obligation to help fund increasing State 
     and local government costs directly resulting from 
     ineffective Federal enforcement efforts in this area. 
     Therefore, the Committee assumes that adequate funding in 
     this resolution will be used to reimburse States and local 
     governments for both authorized program costs and legally 
     binding obligations associated with providing:
       (1) Elementary and secondary education for undocumented 
     children in the public schools.
       (2) Emergency medical assistance to undocumented persons.
       (3) Law enforcement resources and personnel to incarcerate 
     and supervise parole of criminal aliens. This funding can 
     either be used by the Federal Government to take into custody 
     and incarcerate criminal aliens or to reimburse States and 
     local governments for their associated costs.
       (4) Services incidental to admission of refugees under the 
     Refugee Admission and Resettlement program.

     SEC. 8. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING RESERVE FUNDS FOR 
                   EMERGENCIES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the emergency designation under section 251 of the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 has 
     repeatedly been invoked to circumvent the discretionary 
     spending limits for other than emergency purposes;
       (2) amounts for emergencies should be set aside within a 
     reserve fund and subject to the discretionary spending limit;
       (3) the reserve fund shall total 1 percent of annual budget 
     outlays; and
       (4) emergency funding requirements in excess of amounts 
     held in the reserve fund should be offset by a reduction in 
     appropriations.

     SEC. 9. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED MANDATES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Federal Government should not diminish the fiscal 
     autonomy of State and local governments over their own 
     sources of revenue;
       (2) the Federal Government should not shift the costs of 
     administering Federal entitlements to State and local 
     governments;
       (3) the Federal Government's share of entitlement programs 
     should not be capped without providing States authority to 
     amend their financial or programmatic responsibilities to 
     continue meeting the mandated service; and
       (4) Congress should develop a mechanism to ensure that the 
     costs of mandates are considered during deliberations on 
     authorizing legislation.

     SEC. 10. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the baseline budget shows the likely course of Federal 
     revenues and spending if policies remain unchanged;
       (2) baseline budgeting has given rise to the practice of 
     calculating policy changes from an inflated spending level; 
     and
       (3) the baseline concept has been misused to portray 
     policies that would simply slow down the increase in spending 
     as spending reductions.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the President should submit a budget that compares 
     proposed spending levels for the budget year with the current 
     year; and
       (2) the starting point for deliberations on a budget 
     resolution should be the current year.

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment in the nature of a substitute, as

     SECTION 1. CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL 
                   YEAR 1995.

       The Congress determines and declares that this resolution 
     is the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 
     1995, including the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
     years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999, as required by section 301

     fiscal years beginning on October 1, 1994, October 1, 1995,

     SEC. 5. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the baseline budget shows the likely course of Federal 
     revenues and spending if policies remain unchanged;
       (2) baseline budgeting has given rise to the practice of 
     calculating policy changes from inflated spending levels; and
       (3) the baseline concept has been misused to portray 
     policies that would simply slow down the increase in spending 
     as spending reductions.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the President should submit a budget that compares 
     proposed spending levels for the budget year with the current 
     year; and
       (2) the starting point for deliberations on a budget 
     resolution should be the current year.

     SEC. 6. ADJUSTMENT OF PAY-AS-YOU-GO SCORECARD.

       It is the sense of the Congress that upon enactment of a 
     reconciliation bill pursuant to section 4, the Director of 
     the Office of Management and Budget shall reduce the balances 
     of direct spending and receipts legislation applicable to 
     each fiscal year under section 252 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 by an amount equal to 
     the net change in the deficit achieved through the enactment 
     in that Act of direct spending and receipts legislation for 
     that year.

     SEC. 7. SPENDING REDUCTIONS.

       Nothing in this concurrent resolution on the budget commits 
     the Congress to making the specific spending reductions used 
     as assumptions in deriving the appropriate budgetary levels 
     in this concurrent resolution, with the full understanding 
     that the Congress may make comparable spending reductions in 
     other areas to arrive at the same appropriate budgetary 
     levels.
       ``(5) the Federal government should suspend regulations 
     mandating compliance with federal statutes that result in 
     direct costs to state and local governments until 
     reimbursement for these costs are provided by the Federal 
     government.''

     SEC. 5. SENSE OF COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET ON SCORING HEALTH 
                   REFORM.

       It is the sense of the Committee on the Budget that all 
     financial transactions associated with the President's health 
     reform legislation or similar health reform legislation 
     relying on mandated payments to a Government entity be 
     treated as part of the Federal budget, including premium 
     payments by individuals and employees to health alliances 
     (which should be treated as receipts) and payments by health 
     alliances to providers (which should be treated as outlays), 
     for all purposes under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

     SEC. 6. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING RESERVE FUNDS FOR 
                   EMERGENCIES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the emergency designation under section 251 of the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 has 
     repeatedly been invoked to circumvent the discretionary 
     spending limits for other than emergency purposes;
       (2) amounts for emergencies should be set aside within a 
     reserve fund and subject to the discretionary spending limit;
       (3) the reserve fund shall total 1 percent of annual 
     domestic discretionary budget authority; and
       (4) emergency funding requirements in excess of amounts 
     held in the reserve fund should be offset by a reduction in 
     appropriations.

     SEC. 7. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED MANDATES.

       (a) It is the sense of Congress that legislation and 
     appropriate House and Senate rules amendments should be 
     adopted that--
       (1) requires the Congressional Budget Office to estimate 
     the cost of unfunded Federal mandates in all legislation 
     before such legislation is considered by a full committee or 
     by the full House or Senate;
       (2) prohibits consideration in the House or Senate of 
     legislation creating or expanding a Federal mandate that 
     increases the net cost to State and local governments of 
     complying with all Federal mandates (subject to a waiver by a 
     three-fifths majority);
       (3) charges the Office of Information and Regulatory 
     Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget with 
     monitoring all unfunded Federal mandates and identifying 
     those mandates that should be repealed; and
       (4) codifies the recommendations of the National 
     Performance Review for broad agency waiver authority and 
     bottom-up grant consolidation.

     SEC. 8. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING REGULATORY BUDGETING.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that the cost of 
     compliance with Federal regulations--
       (1) constitutes a real, albeit an invisible, tax on 
     America's private and public sectors;

[[Page 263]]

       (2) will cost the American private sector over 
     $600,000,000,000 in 1995; and
       (3) will exceed 9 percent of the Nation's Gross Domestic 
     Product and annually cost the average household between 
     $6,565 and $8,869.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the Federal Government should adopt a regulatory budget 
     that encompasses the economic impact of Federal regulations 
     on the national economy. The ultimate goal of the regulatory 
     budget should be to limit the cost of private and public 
     compliance with Federal regulations to a fixed percentage of 
     the Nation's Gross Domestic Product.

     SEC. 9. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the baseline budget shows the likely course of Federal 
     revenues and spending if policies remain unchanged;
       (2) baseline budgeting has given rise to the practice of 
     calculating policy changes from inflated spending levels; and
       (3) the baseline concept has been misused to portray 
     policies that would simply slow down the increase in spending 
     as spending reductions.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the President should submit a budget that compares 
     proposed spending levels for the budget year with the current 
     year; and
       (2) the starting point for deliberations on a budget 
     resolution should be the current year.

     SEC. 10. ADJUSTMENT OF PAY-AS-YOU-GO SCORECARD.

       It is the sense of the Congress that upon enactment of a 
     reconciliation bill pursuant to section 4, the Director of 
     the Office of Management and Budget shall reduce the balances 
     of direct spending and receipts legislation applicable to 
     each fiscal year under section 252 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 by an amount equal to 
     the net change in the deficit achieved through the enactment 
     in that Act of direct spending and receipts legislation for 
     that year.

  Mr. STENHOLM, pursuant to the order of the House of March 11, 1994, 
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 331):

       Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this 
     resolution the House shall resolve itself into the Committee 
     of the Whole House on the State of the Union for the 
     consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 103) 
     proposing an amendment to the Constitution to provide for a 
     balanced budget for the United States Government and for 
     greater accountability in the enactment of tax legislation, 
     all points of order against the joint resolution and against 
     its consideration are hereby waived, and the first reading of 
     the joint resolution shall be dispensed with. After general 
     debate, which shall be confined to the joint resolution and 
     which shall not exceed nine hours, to be equally divided and 
     controlled among Representative Brooks of Texas, 
     Representative Fish of New York, and Representative Stenholm 
     of Texas, or their designees, the joint resolution shall be 
     considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. No 
     amendment to the joint resolution shall be in order in the 
     House or the Committee of the Whole except for the following 
     amendments, which shall be considered only in the following 
     order:
       (a) An amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
     Representative Kyl of Arizona;
       (b) An amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
     Representative Barton of Texas;
       (c) An amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
     Representative Brooks of Texas;
       (d) An amendment in the nature of a substitute by any 
     Member, which shall be the text of any comparable joint 
     resolution as passed by the Senate;
       (e) An amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
     Representative Stenholm of Texas;
       Each amendment may be offered only by the named proponent 
     or a designee, shall be in order notwithstanding the adoption 
     of a previous amendment in the nature of a substitute, shall 
     be considered as read only if printed in the Congressional 
     Record at least three legislative days prior to its 
     consideration, shall be debatable for not to exceed one-hour 
     to be equally divided and controlled by the proponent and a 
     member opposed thereto, and shall not be subject to an 
     amendment in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. If 
     more than one amendment in the nature of a substitute is 
     adopted, only the last to be adopted shall be considered as 
     finally adopted and reported to the House. At the conclusion 
     of the consideration of the joint resolution to the House 
     with such amendment as may have been finally adopted. The 
     previous question shall be considered to be ordered on the 
     joint resolution and such amendment thereto to final passage 
     without intervening motion except one motion to recommit, 
     with or without instructions.
       Sec. 2. If on any day the Committee rises and reports that 
     it has come to no resolution on the joint resolution, the 
     House shall, on the next legislative day immediately 
     following House approval of the Journal, resolve itself into 
     the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union for the 
     further consideration of the joint resolution.
       Sec. 3. If a comparable joint resolution has been passed by 
     the Senate, it shall be in order at any time after 
     competition of House consideration of H.J. Res. 103 for 
     Representative Stenholm or his designee to move for immediate 
     consideration in the House of one such Senate Joint 
     Resolution. Such joint resolution shall be debatable for no 
     longer than one hour to be equally divided and controlled by 
     a proponent and an opponent. The previous question shall be 
     considered as having been ordered on the joint resolution to 
     final passage without intervening motion except: (1) a motion 
     that the House strike all after the resolving clause and 
     insert in lieu thereof the provisions of H.J. Res. 103, as 
     passed by the House, if offered only by Representative 
     Stenholm of Texas or a designee, which motion shall not be 
     separately debatable and against which motion all points of 
     order are waived; and (2) one motion to recommit, with or 
     without instructions.
       Sec. 4. Consideration, in accordance with the provisions of 
     this resolution, of the joint resolution and any comparable 
     joint resolution passed by the Senate shall be a matter of 
     highest privilege in the House and shall take precedence over 
     any other motion, business, or order of the House, and the 
     House shall proceed with such consideration to final passage, 
     without the intervention of any other motion, order, or 
     business, except a motion to adjourn, or as otherwise 
     provided for in this resolution.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. STENHOLM, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.

Para. 24.17  communication from the clerk--message from the president

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

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                U.S. House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, March 15, 1994.
     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 Tuesday, March 15, 
     1994 at 2:42 p.m. and said to contain a special message from 
     the President whereby he transmits the Reemployment Act of 
     1994.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                             Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives.

Para. 24.18  reemployment act of 1994

  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 
prompt enactment the ``Reemployment Act of 1994''. Also transmitted is a 
section-by-section analysis. This legislation is vital to help Americans 
find new jobs and build sustainable careers.
  Our current set of programs was designed to meet the different needs 
of an earlier economy. People looking for help today confront a 
confusing, overlapping, and duplicative tangle of programs, services, 
and rules. Job seekers--whether unemployed or looking for better jobs--
have a difficult time getting the information they need: What benefits 
and services are available to them? Where can they get good quality 
training? What do they need to know to find and hold good jobs and to 
build sustainable careers?
  The underlying problem is the lack of a coherent employment and 
training system. Instead, we have many disconnected, category-based 
programs--each with distinct eligibility requirements, operating cycles, 
and program standards. We need a true system of lifelong learning--not 
the current hodgepodge of programs, some of which work, and some of 
which don't. The legislation I am transmitting today is an important 
first step in building this system.
  We need to build a reemployment system because our current 
unemployment system no longer delivers what many American workers need. 
In the past, when a worker lost a job, he or

[[Page 274]]

she often returned to that job as soon as the business cycle picked up 
again and the company was ready to rehire. The unemployment system was 
designed to tide workers over during temporary dry spells. Today, when a 
worker loses a job, that job often is gone forever.
  Our economy has generated new jobs. In 1993 alone, 1.7 million new 
private sector jobs were created--more than in the previous 4 years 
combined. While the jobs exist, the pathways to them aren't always 
clear.
  The Reemployment Act of 1994 strives to fix this. It is based on 
evidence of what works for getting workers into new and better jobs. 
Programs that work are customer-driven, offering customized service, 
quality information, and meaningful choices. Programs that work provide 
job search assistance to help dislocated workers become reemployed 
rapidly, feature skill training connected to real job opportunities, 
and offer support services to make long-term training practical for 
those who need it.
  The Act reflects six key principles:
  First is universal access and program consolidation. The current 
patchwork of dislocated worker programs is categorical, inefficient, 
and confusing. The Reemployment Act of 1994 will consolidate six 
separate programs into an integrated service system that focuses on 
what workers need to get their next job, not the reason why they lost 
their last job.
  Second is high-quality reemployment services. Most dislocated workers 
want and need only information and some basic help in assessing their 
skills and planning and conducting their job search. These services are 
relatively simple and inexpensive, and they have been shown to pay off 
handsomely in reducing jobless spells.
  Third is high-quality labor market information, which must be a key 
component of any reemployment effort. The labor market information 
component of the Reemployment Act of 1994 will knit together various 
job data systems and show the way to new jobs through expanding access 
to good data on where jobs are and what skills they require.
  Fourth is one-stop service. At a recent conference that I attended on 
``What is Working'' in reemployment efforts, a common experience of 
workers was the difficulty of getting good information on available 
services. Instead of forcing customers to waste their time and try 
their patience going from office to office, the system will require 
States to coordinate services for dislocated workers through career 
centers. It allows States to compete for funds to develop a more 
comprehensive network of one-stop career centers to serve under one 
roof anyone who needs help getting a first, new, or better job, and to 
streamline access to a wide range of job training and employment 
programs.
  The fifth principle of the legislation is effective retraining for 
those workers who need it to get a new job. Some workers need 
retraining. The Reemployment Act of 1994 will also provide workers 
financial support when they need it to let them complete meaningful 
retraining programs.
  Sixth is accountability. The Reemployment Act of 1994 aims to 
restructure the incentives facing service providers to begin focusing 
on workers as customers. Providers who deliver high-quality services 
for the customer and achieve positive outcomes will prosper in the new 
system. Those who fail to do so will see their funding dry up.
  The Reemployment Act of 1994 will create a new comprehensive 
reemployment system that will enhance service, improve access, and 
assist Americans in finding good new jobs. This is a responsible 
proposal that is fully offset over the next 5 years.
  I urge the Congress to give this legislation prompt and favorable 
consideration so that Americans will have available a new, 
comprehensive reemployment system that works for everyone.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, March 15, 1994. 

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor, the 
Committee on Ways and Means, the Committee on the Judiciary and the 
Committee on Veterans' Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-
222).

Para. 24.19  subpoena

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

                                   Office of the Sergeant at Arms,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, March 15, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC
       Dear Mr. Speaker: This is to formerly notify you pursuant 
     to Rule L (50) of the Rules of the House that a subpoena 
     issued by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia for 
     information concerning a member of the United States Capitol 
     Police.
       After consultation with the General Counsel, I have 
     determined that compliance with the subpoenas is consistent 
     with the privileges and precedents of the House.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Werner W. Brandt,
                                                 Sergeant at Arms.

Para. 24.20  ``structured debate''

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. DERRICK, made the following announcement 
in behalf of the Speaker:
  The House is about to embark upon an unprecedented experiment wherein 
it will conduct a structured debate on a mutually agreed upon subject. A 
Member recognized by the Speaker and holding the floor as ``moderator'' 
will yield time to eight Members, four from the Majority Party and four 
from the Minority Party.
  The primary purpose of this debate is to enhance the quality of the 
deliberative process of the House of Representatives, so as to enable 
all Members to be better informed and to participate in subsequent 
debates and decisions on major issues.
  Under the previous orders of February 11 and March 11, 1994, Mr. 
Cardin will be recognized to moderate a structured debate in the format 
and sequence that he will describe, which has been mutually established 
by the Majority and Minority Leaders.
  The Rules of the House with respect to decorum and proper forms of 
address to the Speaker will apply during this debate. The moderator will 
yield time to the participants. As part of the experiment--and not as a 
precedent for other proceedings of the House--the moderator and the 
participants will have the aid of a visual indication of the remaining 
time.

Para. 24.21  leave of absence

  By unanimous consent, leave of absence was granted to Mr. GALLO, for 
today.
  And then,

Para. 24.22  adjournment

  On motion of Mr. CARDIN, pursuant to the special order heretofore 
agreed to, at 10 o'clock and 2 minutes p.m., the House adjourned until 
10 o'clock a.m. on Thursday, March 17, 1994.

the Whole on the following amendment in the nature of a substitute 
submitted by Mr. BARTON:

       Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the 
     following:

     That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the 
     Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to 
     all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution if 
     ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several 
     States within seven years after its submission to the States 
     for ratification:

                              ``Article--

       ``Section 1. Prior to each fiscal year, Congress shall 
     adopt a statement of receipts and outlays for such fiscal 
     year in which total outlays are not greater than total 
     receipts. Congress may amend such statement provided revised 
     outlays are not greater than revised receipts. Congress may 
     provide in such statement for a specific excess of outlays 
     over receipts by a vote directed solely to that subject in 
     which three-fifths of the whole number of each House agree to 
     such excess. Congress and the President shall ensure that 
     actual outlays do not exceed the outlays set forth in such 
     statement.
       ``Section 2. Total receipts for any fiscal year set forth 
     in the statement adopted pursuant to the first section of 
     this Article shall not increase by a rate greater than the 
     rate of increase in national income in the second prior 
     fiscal year, unless a three-fifths majority of the whole 
     number of each House of Congress shall have passed a bill 
     directed solely to approving specific additional receipts and 
     such bill has become law.
       ``Section 3. Prior to each fiscal year, the President shall 
     transmit to Congress a proposed statement of receipts and 
     outlays for such fiscal year consistent with the provisions 
     of this Article.
       ``Section 4. Congress may waive the provisions of this 
     Article for any fiscal year in which a declaration of war is 
     in effect.
       ``Section 5. Total receipts shall include all receipts of 
     the United States except those derived from borrowing and 
     total outlays shall include all outlays of the United States 
     except those for the repayment of debt principal.
       ``Section 6. The amount of Federal public debt as of the 
     first day of the second fiscal year beginning after the 
     ratification of this Article shall become a permanent limit 
     on such debt and there shall be no increase in such amount 
     unless three-fifths of the whole number of each House of 
     Congress shall have passed a bill approving such increase and 
     such bill has become law.
       ``Section 7. Congress shall enforce and implement this 
     Article by appropriate legislation.
       ``Section 8. This Article shall take effect for the fiscal 
     year 2000 or for the second fiscal year beginning after its 
     ratification, whichever is later.''.

  So the amendment in the nature of a substitute was not agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BONIOR, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. SKAGGS, Chairman, pursuant to clause 2(d) of rule XXIII, 
reported that on a recorded vote in the Committee of the Whole House on 
the state of the Union on an amendment to the joint resolution (H.J. 
Res. 103) proposing an amendment to the Constitution to provide for a 
balanced budget for the United States Government and for greater 
accountability in the enactment of tax legislation, the votes of the 
Delegates and of the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico were 
decisive.
  The Clerk then read the amendment, as follows:

       Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the 
     following:
       That the following article is proposed as an amendment to 
     the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid 
     to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution if 
     ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several 
     States within seven years after its submission to the States 
     for ratification:

                              ``Article--

       ``Section 1. Prior to each fiscal year, Congress shall 
     adopt a statement of receipts and outlays for such fiscal 
     year in which total outlays are not greater than total 
     receipts. Congress may amend such statement provided revised 
     outlays are not greater than revised receipts. Congress may 
     provide in such statement for a specific excess of outlays 
     over receipts by a vote directed solely to that subject in 
     which three-fifths of the whole number of each House agree to 
     such excess. Congress and the President shall ensure that 
     actual outlays do not exceed the outlays set forth in such 
     statement.
       ``Sec. 2. Total receipts for any fiscal year set forth in 
     the statement adopted pursuant to the first section of this 
     Article shall not increase by a rate greater than the rate of 
     increase in national income in the second prior fiscal year, 
     unless a three-fifths majority of the whole number of each 
     House of Congress shall have passed a bill directed solely to 
     approving specific additional receipts and such bill has 
     become law.
       ``Sec. 3. Prior to each fiscal year, the President shall 
     transmit to Congress a proposed statement of receipts and 
     outlays for such fiscal year consistent with the provisions 
     of this Article.
       ``Sec. 4. Congress may waive the provisions of this Article 
     for any fiscal year in which a declaration of war is in 
     effect.
       ``Sec. 5. Total receipts shall include all receipts of the 
     United States except those derived from borrowing and total 
     outlays shall include all outlays of the United States except 
     those for the repayment of debt principal.
       ``Sec. 6. The amount of Federal public debt as of the first 
     day of the second fiscal year beginning after the 
     ratification of this Article shall become a permanent limit 
     on such debt and there shall be no increase in such amount 
     unless three-fifths of the whole number of each House of 
     Congress shall have passed a bill approving such increase and 
     such bill has become law.
       ``Sec. 7. Congress shall enforce and implement this Article 
     by appropriate legislation.
       ``Sec. 8. This Article shall take effect for the fiscal 
     year 2000 or for the second fiscal year beginning after its 
     ratification, whichever is later.''. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BONIOR, pursuant to clause 2(d) of rule 
XXIII, put the question de novo,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said amendment in the nature of a substitute?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BONIOR, announced that yeas had it.
  Mr. PRICE demanded that the vote be taken by the yeas and nays, which 
demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the yeas 
and nays were ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the

  So the amendment in the nature of a substitute was agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. UNSOELD, pursuant to clause 2(d) of rule 
XXIII, declared the House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House 
on the state of the Union for the further consideration, pursuant to 
House Resolution 331, of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 103) proposing 
an amendment to the Constitution to provide for a balanced budget for 
the United States Government and for greater accountability in the 
enactment of tax legislation.
  Mr. SKAGGS, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, resumed the chair; 
and after some time spent therein,

Para. 25.10  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. WISE:

       Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the 
     following:

     That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the 
     Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to 
     all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution if 
     ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several 
     States within seven years after it submission to the States 
     for ratification:

                               ``article

       ``Section 1. Total outlays of the operating funds of the 
     United States for any fiscal year shall not exceed total 
     receipts to those funds for that fiscal year.
       ``Section 2. The Congress may waive the provisions of this 
     article for any fiscal year in which a declaration of war is 
     in effect. The provisions of this article may be waived for 
     any fiscal year in which the United States is engaged in 
     military conflict which causes an imminent and serious 
     military threat to national security and is so declared by a 
     joint resolution, adopted by a majority of the whole number 
     of each House of Congress, that becomes law. If real economic 
     growth has been or will be negative for two consecutive 
     quarters, Congress may by law, passed by a majority of the 
     whole number of each House of Congress, waive this article 
     for the current and next fiscal year.
       ``Section 3. Not later than the first Monday in February in 
     each calendar year, the President shall transmit to the 
     Congress a proposed budget for the United States Government 
     for the fiscal year beginning in that calendar year in which 
     total outlays of the operating funds of the United States for 
     that fiscal year shall not exceed total receipts to those 
     funds for that fiscal year.
       ``Section 4. Total receipts of the operating funds shall 
     exclude those derived from net borrowing. Total outlays of 
     the operating funds of the United States shall exclude those 
     for repayment of debt principal and for capital investments 
     that provide long-term economic returns but shall include

     United States of America in Congress assembled, That the 
     following article is proposed as an amendment to the 
     Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to 
     all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when 
     ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several 
     States within seven years after the date of its submission to 
     the States for ratification:

                              ``Article --

       ``Section 1. Total outlays for any fiscal year shall not 
     exceed total receipts for that

[[Page 281]]

     fiscal year, unless three-fifths of the whole number of each 
     House of Congress shall provide by law for a specific excess 
     of outlays over receipts by a rollcall vote.
       ``Section 2. The limit on the debt of the United States 
     held by the public shall not be increased, unless three-
     fifths of the whole number of each House shall provide by law 
     for an increase by a rollcall vote.
       ``Section 3. Prior to each fiscal year, the President shall 
     transmit to the Congress a proposed budget for the United 
     States Government for that fiscal year, in which total 
     outlays do not exceed total receipts.
       ``Section 4. No bill to increase revenue shall become law 
     unless approved by a majority of the whole number of each 
     House by a rollcall vote.
       ``Section 5. The Congress may waive the provisions of this 
     article for any fiscal year in which a declaration of war is 
     in effect. The provisions of this article may be waived for 
     any fiscal year in which the United States is engaged in 
     military conflict which causes an imminent and serious 
     military threat to national security and is so declared by a 
     joint resolution, adopted by a majority of the whole number 
     of each House, which becomes law.
       ``Section 6. The Congress shall enforce and implement this 
     article by appropriate legislation, which may rely on 
     estimates of outlays and receipts.
       ``Section 7. Total receipts shall include all receipts of 
     the United States Government except those derived from 
     borrowing. Total outlays shall include all outlays of the 
     United States Government except for those for repayment of 
     debt principal.
       ``Section 8. This article shall take effect beginning with 
     fiscal year 2001 or with the second fiscal year beginning 
     after its ratification, whichever is later.''

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

  Will the House pass said joint resolution?

  So, two-thirds of the Members present not having voted in favor 
thereof, the joint resolution was not passed.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said joint resolution was not 
passed was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

Para. 25.13  requesting conference with senate to house amendment on 
          s.636

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

       Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it 
     shall be in order to take from the Speaker's table the bill 
     (S. 636) to amend the Public Health Service Act to permit 
     individuals to have freedom of access to certain medical 
     clinics and facilities, and for other purposes, and to 
     consider the Senate bill in the House. All points of order 
     against the Senate bill and against its consideration are 
     waived. It shall 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. 796 as passed by the House. 
     All points of order against that motion are waived. If the 
     motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, 
     then it shall be in order to move that the House insist on 
     its amendments to S. 636 and request a conference with the 
     Senate thereon. 

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Ms. SLAUGHTER moved the previous question on the resolution to its 
adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now order the previous question?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. STUDDS, announced that the yeas had it.
  On a division demanded by Mr. SENSENBRENNER, there appeared, yeas--5, 
nays--16.
  Ms. SLAUGHTER 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. 25.16  pesticide safety

  On motion of Mr. de la GARZA, by unanimous consent, the Committee on 
Agriculture was discharged from further consideration of the bill of the 
Senate (S. 1913) to extend certain compliance dates for pesticide safety 
training and labeling requirements.
  Mr. de la GARZA submitted the following amendment in the nature of a 
substitute which was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert in lieu 
     thereof the following:

     SECTION 1. COMPLIANCE.

       Until January 1, 1995, it shall not be a misuse under 
     section 12(a)(2)(G) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 
     and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136j(a)(2)(G)) to use any 
     pesticide product in a manner inconsistent with the 
     provisions of 40 CFR Part 170 that are (1) subject to the 
     compliance date specified in 40 CFR section 170.5(c) and (2) 
     incorporated by reference on the label or labeling of any 
     pesticide product. This delay in compliance shall not apply 
     to specific worker protection requirements that appear 
     directly on the label or labeling of the pesticide product.

     SEC. 2. REENTRY INTERVAL.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding the provisions of 40 CFR 
     Part 170, until January 1, 1995, a worker may enter an area 
     treated with a pesticide product during the restricted entry 
     interval specified on the label of the pesticide product to 
     perform tasks related to the production of agricultural 
     plants if the agricultural employer ensures that--
       (1) no hand labor activity is performed;
       (2) no such entry is allowed for the first 4 hours 
     following the end of the application of the pesticide 
     product;
       (3) no such entry is allowed until any inhalation exposure 
     level listed on the product labeling has been reached; and
       (4) the personal protective equipment specified on the 
     product labeling for early entry is provided in clean and 
     operating condition to the worker.
       (b) Protective Equipment for Irrigation Work.--For 
     irrigation work for which the only contact with treated 
     surfaces is to the feet, lower legs, hands, and arms, the 
     agricultural employer may provide coveralls, chemical 
     resistant gloves, and chemical resistant footwear instead of 
     the personal protective equipment specified on the label.

     SEC. 3. CROP ADVISORS

       Notwithstandig the provisions of 40 CFR Part 170, until 
     January 1, 1995, persons performing duties as crop advisors 
     shall not be considered workers or handlers under 40 CFR Part 
     170 (or for the purposes of the pesticide label) and shall 
     not be subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 170.

     SEC. 4. SAFETY TRAINING.

       (A) Training Materials.--Not later than September 23, 1994, 
     the Administrator shall develop and distribute pesticide 
     safety training materials that convey, at a minimum, the 
     information referred in 40 CFR section 170.230(c)(4).
       (b) Implementation.--The Administrator shall assist the 
     appropriate Federal, State, and tribal agencies in 
     implementing the pesticide safety training programs required 
     under 40 CFR part 170.

     SEC. 5. DEFINITIONS.

       As used in this Act:
       (1) The term ``hand labor'' means any agricultural activity 
     performed by hand or with hand tools that causes a worker to

     activities include, but are not limited to, harvesting, 
     detasseling, thinning, weeding, topping, planting, sucker 
     removal, pruning, disbudding, roguing, and packing produce 
     into containers in the field. The term ``hand labor'' shall 
     not include operating, moving, or repairing irrigation or 
     watering equipment or performing the tasks of crop advisors.
       (2) The term ``agricultural employer'' means any person who 
     hires or contracts for the services of workers, for any type 
     of compensation, to perform activities related to the 
     production of agricultural plants, or any person who is an 
     owner of or is responsible for management or condition of an 
     agricultural establishment that uses such workers.
       (3) The term ``worker'' means any person, including a self-
     employed person, who is employed for any type of compensation 
     and who is performing activities relating to the production 
     of agricultural plants on an agricultural establishment. The

     commercial pesticide handling establishment to perform tasks 
     as a crop advisor.
       (4) The term ``Administrator'' means the Administrator of

  So the bill, as amended, was passed.
  By unanimous consent, the title was amended so as to read: ``An Act to 
amend title 18, United States Code, to assure freedom of access to 
reproductive services.''.
  A motion to reconsider the votes whereby said bill, as amended, was 
passed and the title was amended was, by unanimous consent, laid on the 
table.
  Mrs. SCHROEDER, pursuant to House Resolution 374, moved that the House 
insist on its amendments to the bill of the Senate (S. 636) to amend the 
Public Health Service Act to permit individuals to have freedom of 
access to certain medical clinics and facilities, and for other 
purposes; and request a conference thereon.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House insist on its amendments and request a conference?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. STUDDS, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey 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.

       ``(1) in 1993 there are more than 3,000,000 individuals 
     with developmental disabilities in the United States;
       ``(2) disability is a natural part of the human experience 
     that does not diminish the right of individuals with 
     developmental disabilities to enjoy the opportunity to live 
     independently, enjoy self-determination, make choices, 
     contribute to society, and experience full integration and 
     inclusion in the economic, political, social, cultural, and 
     educational mainstream of American society;
       ``(3) individuals with developmental disabilities 
     continually encounter various forms of discrimination in 
     critical areas;

     developmental period frequently have severe disabilities that 
     are likely to continue indefinitely;

     require lifelong specialized services and assistance, 
     provided in a coordinated and culturally competent manner by 
     many agencies, professionals, advocates, community 
     representatives, and others to eliminate barriers and to meet 
     the needs of such individuals and their families;
       ``(7) a substantial portion of individuals with 
     developmental disabilities and their families do not have 
     access to appropriate support and services from generic and 
     specialized service systems and remain unserved or 
     underserved;
       ``(8) family members, friends, and members of the community 
     can play an important role in enhancing the lives of 
     individuals with developmental disabilities, especially when 
     the family and community are provided with the necessary 
     services and supports;
       ``(9) there is a need to ensure that services, supports, 
     and other assistance are provided in a culturally competent 
     manner, that individuals from racial and ethnic minority 
     backgrounds are fully included in all activities under this 
     Act, and that greater efforts are made to recruit individuals 
     from minority backgrounds into the field of developmental 
     disabilities; and
       ``(10) the goals of the Nation properly include the goal of 
     providing individuals with developmental disabilities with

     resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, and capabilities 
     of each individual.

       ``(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to assure that 
     individuals with developmental disabilities and their 
     families participate in the design of and have access to 
     culturally competent services, supports, and other assistance 
     and opportunities that promote independence, productivity,

     building, and advocacy activities that are consistent with 
     the policy under subsection (c)(2), a consumer and family-
     centered, comprehensive system, and a coordinated array of 
     services, supports, and other assistance for individuals with

     data, provide technical assistance to State Developmental 
     Disabilities Councils, protection and advocacy systems and 
     university affiliated programs, and support other nationally 
     significant activities.
       ``(c) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that 
     all programs, projects, and activities receiving assistance 
     under this Act shall be carried out in a manner consistent 
     with the principles that--
       ``(1) individuals with developmental disabilities,

     individualized manner, consistent with the unique strengths,

     programs that affect the lives of such individuals and their 
     families;

     in a manner that demonstrates respect for individual dignity, 
     personal preferences, and cultural differences;
       ``(5) specific efforts must be made to ensure that 
     individuals from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds enjoy 
     effective and meaningful opportunities for full participation 
     in the developmental disabilities service system;
       ``(6) recruitment efforts within developmental disabilities 
     at the level of preservice training, community training, 
     practice, administration and policymaking must focus on 
     bringing larger numbers of racial and ethnic minorities into 
     the field in order to provide appropriate skills, knowledge, 
     role models, and sufficient manpower to address the growing 
     needs of an increasingly diverse population;
       ``(7) with education and support, communities can be 
     responsive to the needs of individuals with developmental 
     disabilities and their families and are enriched by the full 
     and active participation and the contributions by individuals 
     with developmental disabilities and their families; and
       ``(8) individuals with developmental disabilities should 
     have access to opportunities and the necessary support to be 
     included in community life, have interdependent 
     relationships, live in homes and communities, and make 
     contributions to their families, community, State, and

     intercourse, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including 
     acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), shall 
     continuously stress throughout the sex education program and 
     sexual intercourse discussion that abstinence from sexual 
     intercourse is the only protection that is 100 percent

     intercourse shall be age appropriate.

     appropriate.
       ``(2) Course material and instruction shall stress that 
     abstinence is the only contraceptive method which is 100 
     percent effective, and that all other methods of 
     contraception carry a risk of failure in preventing unwanted 
     teenage pregnancy. Statistics based on the latest medical 
     information shall be provided to pupils citing the laboratory 
     and real-life failure and success rates of condoms and other 
     contraceptives in preventing pregnancy.
       ``(3) Course material and instruction shall stress that 
     STDs are serious possible hazards of sexual intercourse. 
     Pupils shall be provided with statistics based on the latest 
     medical information citing the laboratory and real-life

     other STDs among elementary and secondary pupils.
       ``(4) Course material and instruction shall include a 
     discussion of the possible emotional and psychological 
     consequences of preadolescent and adolescent sexual 
     intercourse outside of marriage and the consequences of 
     unwanted adolescent pregnancy.
       ``(5) Course material and instruction shall stress that 
     pupils should abstain from sexual intercourse until they are 
     ready for marriage.
       ``(6) Course material and instruction shall teach honor and 
     respect for monogamous heterosexual marriage.
       ``(7) Course material and instruction shall advise pupils 
     of the laws pertaining to their financial responsibility to 
     children born in and out of wedlock.
       ``(8) Course material and instruction shall advise pupils 
     that it is unlawful for males of any age to have sexual 
     relations with females under a certain age to whom they are 
     not married.
       ``(9) Course material and instruction shall emphasize that 
     the pupil has the power to control personal behavior. Pupils 
     shall be encouraged to base their actions on reasoning, self-
     discipline, sense of responsibility, self-control, and 
     ethical considerations, such as respect for one's self and 
     others.
       ``(10) Course material and instruction shall teach pupils 
     to refrain from making unwanted physical and verbal sexual 
     advances and how to say no to unwanted sexual advances.

  So the amendment, as amended, was agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. de la GARZA, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. DARDEN, Chairman, reported that the Committee, having had 
under consideration said bill, had come to no resolution thereon.

Para. 28.10  committee oversight of certain matters

  Mr. GEPHARDT moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
resolution (H. Res. 394):

       Resolved, That it is the Sense of the House of 
     Representatives that--
       (a) Congress has a Constitutional obligation to conduct 
     oversight of matters relating to the operations of the 
     government, including matters related to any governmental 
     investigations which may, from time to time, be undertaken.
       (b) The Speaker, Majority and Minority Leaders should meet 
     to determine the appropriate timetable, procedures, and forum 
     for appropriate Congressional oversight, including hearings 
     on all matters related to ``Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan 
     Association (`MGS&L'), Whitewater Development Corporation and 
     Capital Management Services Inc. (`CMS').''
       (c) No witness called to testify at these hearings shall be 
     granted immunity under sections 6002 and 6005 of Title 18, 
     United States Code, over the objection of Special Counsel 
     Robert B. Fiske, Jr.
       (d) The hearings should be structured and sequenced in such 
     a manner that in the judgment of the Leaders they would not 
     interfere with the ongoing investigation of Special Counsel 
     Robert B. Fiske, Jr.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. de la GARZA, recognized Mr. GEPHARDT and 
Mr. MICHEL, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. de la GARZA, announced that two-thirds of 
the Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  Mr. MICHEL objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

       The 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 the United States will be a child's 
     first teacher and devote time each day to helping such 
     parent's preschool child learn, and parents will have access 
     to the training and support parents need; and
       (iii) children will receive the nutrition, physical 
     activity experiences, 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 school dropout 
     rate, and 75 percent of the 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, economics, arts, history, and 
     geography, and every school in America will ensure that all

       (2) Criteria.--(A) The Council, which may consult with 
     outside experts, shall--
       (i) identify and develop criteria to be used for certifying 
     the voluntary national content standards and voluntary

       TITLE III--STATE AND LOCAL EDUCATION SYSTEMIC IMPROVEMENT

     SEC. 301. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) all students can learn and achieve to high standards 
     and must realize their potential if the United States is to 
     prosper;
       (2) the reforms in education from 1977 through 1992 have 
     achieved some good results, but such reform efforts often 
     have been limited to a few schools or to a single part of the 
     educational system;
       (3) leadership must come from teachers, related 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 
     to support the revitalization of all local public schools by 
     fundamentally changing the entire system of public education 
     through comprehensive, coherent, and coordinated improvement 
     in order to increase student learning;
       (6) parents, teachers, and other local educators, and 
     business, community, and tribal leaders must be involved in 
     developing systemwide improvement strategies that reflect the 
     needs of their individual communities;
       (7) State and local education improvement efforts must 
     incorporate strategies for providing all students and 
     families with coordinated access to appropriate social 
     services, health care, nutrition, and early childhood 
     education, and child care to remove preventable barriers to 
     learning and enhance school readiness for all students;
       (8) States and local educational agencies, working 
     together, must immediately set

[[Page 331]]

     about developing and implementing such systemwide improvement 
     strategies if our Nation is to educate all children to meet 
     their full potential and achieve the National Education Goals 
     described in title I;
       (9) State and local systemic improvement strategies must 
     provide all students with effective mechanisms and 
     appropriate paths to the work force as well as to higher 
     education;
       (10) businesses should be encouraged--
       (A) to enter into partnerships with schools;
       (B) to provide information and guidance to schools based on 
     the needs of area businesses for properly educated graduates 
     in general and on the need for particular workplace skills 
     that the schools may provide;
       (C) to provide necessary education and training materials 
     and support; and
       (D) to continue the lifelong learning process throughout 
     the employment years of an individual;
       (11) schools should provide information to businesses 
     regarding how the business community can assist schools in 
     meeting the purposes of this Act;
       (12) institutions of higher education should be encouraged 
     to enter into partnerships with schools to provide 
     information and guidance to schools on the skills and 
     knowledge graduates need in order to enter and successfully 
     complete postsecondary education, and schools should provide 
     information and guidance to institutions of higher education 
     on the skills, knowledge, and preservice training teachers 
     need, and the types of professional development educators 
     need in order to meet the purposes of this Act;
       (13) the appropriate and innovative use of technology, 
     including distance learning, can be very effective in helping 
     to provide all students with the opportunity to learn and 
     meet high standards;
       (14) Federal funds should be targeted to support State and 
     local initiatives, and to leverage State and local resources 
     for designing and implementing systemwide education 
     improvement plans;
       (15) all students are entitled to participate in a broad 
     and challenging curriculum and to have access to resources 
     sufficient to address other education needs; and
       (16) quality education management services are being 
     utilized by local educational agencies and schools through 
     contractual agreements among local educational agencies or 
     schools and businesses providing quality education management 
     services.

     SEC. 302. PURPOSE.

       (a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to improve 
     the quality of education for all students by improving 
     student learning through a long-term, broad-based effort to 
     promote coherent and coordinated improvements in the system 
     of education throughout the Nation at the State and local 
     levels.
       (b) Congressional Intent.--This title provides new 
     authorities and funding for the Nation's school systems 
     without replacing or reducing funding for existing Federal 
     education programs. It is the intention of the Congress that

     for education or for education reform on account of receiving 
     any funds under this title.

     fiscal year the Secretary shall make allotments to State 
     educational agencies as follows:
       (1) 50 percent of such amount shall be allocated in 
     accordance with the relative amounts each State would have 
     received under chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965 for the preceding fiscal year 
     if funds under such chapter in such preceding fiscal year 
     were not reserved for the outlying areas.
       (2) 50 percent of such amount shall be allocated in 
     accordance with the relative amounts each State would have 
     received under part A of chapter 2 of title I of the

     preceding fiscal year were not reserved for the outlying 
     areas.
       (c) Reallotments.--If the Secretary determines that any 
     amount of a State educational agency's allotment for any 
     fiscal year under subsection (b) will not be needed for such 
     fiscal year by the State, the Secretary shall reallot such 
     amount to other State educational agencies that need 
     additional funds, in such manner as the Secretary determines 
     is appropriate.
       (d) Maintenance of Effort.--Each recipient of funds under 
     this title, in utilizing the proceeds of an allotment 
     received under this title, shall maintain the expenditures of 
     such recipient for the activities assisted under this title 
     at a level equal to not less than the level of such 
     expenditures maintained by such recipient for the fiscal year 
     preceding the fiscal year for which such allotment is 
     received, except that the Secretary may reduce, temporarily 
     or permanently, the level of expenditures required by this

     for helping all students achieve such standards in order to 
     assure that the development and implementation of the State

     does not result in a significant increase in paperwork for 
     teachers.
       (6) Procedure and approval.--The panel shall develop a

     title, shall monitor the implementation and operation of such 
     plan. The panel shall review such plan, and based on the 
     progress described in the preceding sentence, determine if 
     revisions to such plan are appropriate and necessary. The 
     panel shall periodically report such determination to the 
     public.
       (c) Teaching, Learning, Standards, and Assessments.--Each 
     State educational agency, with broad-based classroom teacher

     standards;
       (B) assessing the effectiveness and equity of the school

     students meet State content standards and State student 
     performance standards; and
       (E) a process for improving the State's system of teacher

     content standards and State student performance standards 
     adopted by the State.
       (2) Implementation.--Notwithstanding any other provision of

     local educational agency, or school.
       (e) Governance, Accountability and Management.--Each State 
     improvement plan shall establish strategies for improved 
     governance, accountability and management of the State's 
     education system, such as--
       (1) aligning responsibility, authority, and accountability 
     throughout the education system, so that decisions regarding 
     the means for achieving State content standards and State 
     student performance standards are made closest to the 
     learners; and
       (2) creating an integrated and coherent approach to 
     recruiting, retaining and supporting the continued 
     professional development of teachers (including vocational 
     teachers), and other educators, giving special attention to 
     the recruitment into and retention of qualified minorities in 
     the education profession;
       (f) Parental and Community Support and Involvement.--Each 
     State improvement plan shall describe strategies for how the

     such as--
       (1) focusing public and private community resources and 
     public school resources on prevention and early intervention

     removing unnecessary regulations and obstacles to 
     coordination; and
       (2) increasing the access of all students to social 
     services, health care, nutrition, related services, and child 
     care services, and locating such services in schools,

     other convenient sites designed to provide ``one-stop 
     shopping'' for parents and students.
       (g) Making the Improvements Systemwide.--To help provide 
     all students throughout the State the opportunity to meet 
     State standards, each State improvement plan shall describe 
     strategies, such as strategies that--
       (1) provide for the availability of curricular materials, 
     learning technologies, including distance learning, and 
     professional development in a manner that ensures equal 
     access by all local educational agencies in the State; and
       (2) develop partnerships with Indian tribes and schools 
     funded by the Bureau, where appropriate, to improve 
     consistency and compatibility in curriculum among public 
     elementary and secondary schools, and such schools funded by 
     the Bureau at all grade levels.
       (h) Promoting Bottom-Up Reform.--Each State improvement 
     plan shall include strategies for ensuring that 
     comprehensive, systemic reform is promoted from the bottom up

     well as guided by coordination and facilitation from State 
     leaders, including strategies such as--
       (1) providing flexibility to individual schools and local 
     educational agencies to enable such schools and agencies to 
     adapt and integrate State content standards into courses of

     policymakers, educators, classroom teachers, related services 
     personnel, experts on educational innovation and improvement, 
     parents, advocates, and other appropriate individuals. Such 
     peer review process shall be representative of the diversity 
     of the United States with regard to geography, race,

     reviewers' comment, that such plan--
       (A) reflects a widespread commitment within the State;
       (B) holds reasonable promise of helping all students to 
     achieve at the high levels called for by this Act;
       (C) meets the requirements of subsections (a) through (k); 
     and
       (D) allows local schools, local educational agencies and

     and systemic State improvement plan to help all students meet 
     State standards or any component of such plan, that meets the 
     intent and purposes of this section, then the Secretary may 
     approve such plan or component notwithstanding that such plan 
     was not developed in accordance with subsection (b) if the 
     Secretary determines that such approval would further the 
     purposes of State systemic education improvement; and
       (2) Special rule.--(A) If, before the date of enactment of 
     this Act, a State has made substantial progress in developing 
     a plan that meets the intent and purposes of this section,

     requirements of paragraphs (1) through (3) of subsection (b), 
     the Secretary may, at the request of the Governor and the 
     State educational agency, treat such panel as meeting the 
     requirements of this title if the Secretary determines that 
     there has been statewide involvement of educators, parents,

     are enrolled in private elementary or secondary schools--
       (1) a State educational agency or local educational agency 
     which uses funds under this title to develop goals, State

     subparagraph (A) shall--

     periodically review the performance of any State, local

     SEC. 319. STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF EDUCATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (1) Congress is interested in promoting State and local 
     government reform efforts in education.
       (2) In Public Law 96-88 the Congress found that education 
     is fundamental to the development of individual citizens and 
     the progress of the Nation.
       (3) In Public Law 96-88 the Congress found that in our 
     Federal system the responsibility for education is reserved 
     respectively to the States and the local school systems and 
     other instrumentalities of the States.
       (4) In Public Law 96-88 the Congress declared the purpose 
     of the Department of Education was to supplement and 
     complement the efforts of States, the local school systems, 
     and other instrumentalities of the States, the private 
     sector, public and private educational institutions, public 
     and private nonprofit educational research institutions, 
     community based organizations, parents and schools to improve 
     the quality of education.
       (5) With the establishment of the Department of Education, 
     Congress intended to protect the rights of State and local 
     governments and public and private educational institutions 
     in the areas of educational policies and administration of 
     programs and to strengthen and improve the control of such 
     governments and institutions over their own educational 
     programs and policies.
       (6) Public Law 96-88 specified that the establishment of 
     the Department of Education shall not increase the authority 
     of the Federal Government over education or diminish the 
     responsibility for education which is reserved to the States 
     and local school systems and other instrumentalities of the 
     States.
       (7) Public Law 96-88 specified that no provision of a 
     program administered by the Secretary or by any other officer 
     of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare shall be 
     construed to authorize the Secretary or any such officer to 
     exercise any direction, supervision, or control over the 
     curriculum, program of instruction, administration, or 
     personnel of any educational institution, school, or school 
     system, over any accrediting agency or association or over 
     the selection or content of library resources, textbooks, or 
     other instructional materials by any educational institution 
     or school system.
       (b) Reaffirmation.--The Congress agrees and reaffirms that 
     the responsibility for control of education is reserved to 
     the States and local school systems and other 
     instrumentalities of the States and that no action shall be 
     taken under the provisions of this Act by the Federal 
     Government which would, directly or indirectly, impose 
     standards or requirements of any kind through the 
     promulgation of rules, regulations, provision of financial 
     assistance and otherwise, which would reduce, modify, or 
     undercut State and local responsibility for control of 
     education.

     SEC. 502. PURPOSE.

       It is the purpose of this title to establish a National 
     Skill Standards Board to serve as a catalyst in stimulating 
     the development and adoption of a voluntary national system 
     of skill standards and of assessment and certification of 
     attainment of skill standards--
       (1) that will serve as a cornerstone of the national 
     strategy to enhance workforce skills;
       (2) that will result in increased productivity, economic 
     growth, and American economic competitiveness; and
       (3) that can be used, consistent with civil rights laws--
       (A) by the Nation, to ensure the development of a high 
     skills, high quality, high performance workforce, including 
     the most skilled frontline workforce in the world;
       (B) by industries, as a vehicle for informing training 
     providers and prospective employees of skills necessary for 
     employment;
       (C) by employers, to assist in evaluating the skill levels 
     of prospective employees and to assist in the training of 
     current employees;
       (D) by labor organizations, to enhance the employment 
     security of workers by providing portable credentials and 
     skills;
       (E) by workers, to--
       (i) obtain certifications of their skills to protect 
     against dislocation;
       (ii) pursue career advancement; and
       (iii) enhance their ability to reenter the workforce;
       (F) 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;
       (G) by training providers and educators, to determine 
     appropriate training services to offer;
       (H) by government, to evaluate whether publicly funded 
     training assists participants to meet skill standards where 
     such standards exist and thereby protect the integrity of 
     public expenditures;
       (I) to facilitate the transition to high performance work 
     organizations;
       (J) to increase opportunities for minorities and women, 
     including removing barriers to the entry of women into 
     nontraditional employment; and
       (K) to facilitate linkages between other components of the 
     national strategy to enhance workforce skills, including 
     school-to-work transition, secondary and postsecondary 
     vocational-technical education, and job training programs.

             TITLE IX--EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND IMPROVEMENT

     SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Educational Research, 
     Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 902. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds as follows with respect to improving 
     education in the United States:
       (1) A majority of public schools in the United States are 
     failing to prepare students to achieve the National Education 
     Goals. The Federal Government should support an extensive 
     program of educational research, development, dissemination, 
     replication and assistance to identify and support the best 
     responses for the challenges ahead. A significant investment 
     in attaining a deeper understanding of the processes of 
     learning and schooling and developing new ideas holds the 
     best hope of making a substantial difference to the lives of 
     every student in the United States. The Office of Educational 
     Research and Improvement within the Department of Education 
     should be at the center of this campaign in order to 
     coordinate such efforts.
       (2) The Federal role in educational research has been 
     closely identified with youths who are socioeconomically 
     disadvantaged, are minorities, belong to a language

[[Page 346]]

     minority, or have a disability. The Federal commitment to 
     education was sufficient to serve not more than--
       (A) in 1993, 1 out of every 6 low-income children in need 
     of preschool education;
       (B) in 1990, 3 out of every 5 children in need of 
     remediation;
       (C) in 1991, 1 out of every 5 children in need of bilingual 
     education; and
       (D) in 1992, 1 out of every 20 youths eligible for 
     assistance under the Job Training Partnership Act.
       (3) The failure of the Federal Government to adequately 
     invest in educational research and development has denied the 
     United States a sound foundation of knowledge on which to 
     design school improvements. The educational achievement of 
     minority children is of particular concern because at least 
     half of the public school students in 25 of the largest 
     cities of the United States are minority children, and 
     demographers project that, by the year 2005, almost all urban 
     public school students will be minority children or other 
     children in poverty.
       (4) The investment goal of the Federal research, 
     development, and dissemination function should be at least 1 
     percent of the total amount of funds spent on educationally.
       (5) Nationwide model programs and reliable interventions 
     should be demonstrated and replicated, and for such purposes, 
     programs should be established to conduct research and 
     evaluations, and to disseminate information.
       (6) The Office should develop a national dissemination 
     policy that will advance the goal of placing a national 
     treasure chest of research results, models, and materials at 
     the disposal of the education decisionmakers of the United 
     States.
       (7) A National Educational Research Policy and Priorities 
     Board should be established to work collaboratively with the 
     Assistant Secretary to forge a national consensus with 
     respect to a long-term agenda for educational research, 
     development, dissemination, and the activities of the Office.
       (8) Existing research and development entities should adopt 
     expanded, proactive roles and new institutions should be 
     created to promote knowledge development necessary to 
     accelerate the application of research findings to high 
     priority areas.
       (9) Greater use should be made of existing technologies in 
     efforts to improve the educational system of the United 
     States, including efforts to disseminate research findings.
       (10) Minority educational researchers are inadequately 
     represented throughout the Department of Education, but 
     particularly in the Office. The Office therefore should 
     assume a leadership position in the recruitment, retention, 
     and promotion of qualified minority educational researchers.
       (11) The coordination of the mission of the Office with 
     that of other components of the Department of Education is 
     critical. The Office should improve the coordination of the 
     educational research, development, and dissemination function 
     with those of other Federal agencies.

PART A--GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING THE OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH 
                            AND IMPROVEMENT

     SEC. 911. REPEAL.

       (a) Repeal.--Section 405 of the General Education 
     Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1221e) is repealed.
       (b) Conforming Amendment.--The second sentence of section 
     209 of the Department of Education Organization Act (20 
     U.S.C. 3419) is amended by inserting ``and such functions as 
     set forth in the Educational Research, Development, 
     Dissemination, and Improvement Act of 1994'' after 
     ``delegate''.

     SEC. 912. OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND IMPROVEMENT.

       (a) Declaration of Policy Regarding Educational 
     Opportunity.--
       (1) In general.--The Congress declares it to be the policy 
     of the United States to provide to every individual an equal 
     opportunity to receive an education of high quality 
     regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, 
     national origin, or social class. Although the American 
     educational system has pursued this objective, it has not 
     been attained. Inequalities of opportunity to receive high 
     quality education remain pronounced. To achieve the goal of 
     quality education requires the continued pursuit of knowledge 
     about education through research, development, improvement 
     activities, data collection, synthesis, technical assistance, 
     and information dissemination. While the direction of 
     American education remains primarily the responsibility of 
     State and local governments, the Federal Government has a 
     clear responsibility to provide leadership in the conduct and 
     support of scientific inquiry into the educational process.
       (2) Mission of office.--
       (A) The mission of the Office shall be to provide national

     achievement of the National Educational Goals by spurring 
     reform in the school systems of the United States;
       (iii) promoting the use and application of research and 
     development to improve practice in the classroom; and
       (iv) monitoring the state of education.
       (B) The mission of the Office shall be accomplished in 
     collaboration with researchers, teachers, school 
     administrators, parents, students, employers, and 
     policymakers.
       (b) Purpose and Structure of Office.--

       (d) National Institute on Student Achievement, Curriculum, 
     and Assessment.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (A) The current achievement levels of students in the 
     United States are far below those that might indicate 
     competency in challenging subject matter in core content 
     areas.
       (B) During the last 20 years, relatively little changed in 
     how students were taught. Despite much research suggesting 
     better alternatives, classrooms continue to be dominated by 
     textbooks, teacher lectures, short-answer activity sheets, 
     and unequal patterns of student attention.
       (C) Despite progress in narrowing the gaps, the differences 
     in performance between Caucasian students and their minority 
     counterparts remain unacceptably large. While progress has 
     been made in reducing the gender gap in mathematics, such gap 
     still remains at higher levels of problem solving. Too little 
     progress has been made in reducing gender performance gaps 
     favoring males in science and females in writing.
       (2) Purpose.--The purpose of the National Institute on 
     Student Achievement, Curriculum, and Assessment is to carry 
     out a coordinated and comprehensive program of research and 
     development to provide research-based leadership to the 
     United States as it seeks to improve student achievement in 
     core content areas and the integration of such areas. Such 
     program shall--
       (A) identify, develop, and evaluate innovative and 
     exemplary methods to improve student knowledge at all levels 
     in the core content areas, such as--
       (i) student learning and assessment in various subject 
     matters;
       (ii) the effects of organizational patterns on the delivery 
     of instruction, including issues of grouping and tracking, 
     ungraded classrooms, and on the effects of various 
     pedagogies, including the issues of technology in education;
       (iii) standards for what students should known and be able 
     to do, particularly standards of desired performance set to 
     internationally competitive levels;
       (iv) methods to improve the process of reading, the craft 
     of writing, the growth of reasoning skills, and the 
     development of information-finding skills;
       (v) enabling students to develop higher order thinking 
     skills;
       (vi) methods to teach effectively all students in mixed-
     ability classrooms;

     space, telephone, computer access, and fax machines and 
     television cable access available to teachers in the work 
     environment;
       (V) opportunities for teachers to share information and 
     resources with other teachers and education professionals;
       (VI) opportunities for advanced learning experience; and
       (VII) the reduction of stress in the teaching profession;

       (xi) curriculum development designed to meet challenging 
     standards, including State efforts to develop such 
     curriculum;
       (xii) the need for, and methods of delivering, teacher 
     education, development, and inservice training;
       (xiii) educational methods and activities to reduce and 
     prevent violence in schools;

     achievement;
       (II) methods and approaches to assessing student 
     opportunities to learn (including the quality of instruction 
     and the availability of resources necessary to support 
     learning) and evaluating the quality of school environment;
       (III) the impact of high-stakes uses of assessment on 
     student performance and motivation, narrowing of curriculum, 
     teaching practices, and test integrity;
       (IV) the impact of various methods of assessment on 
     children of different races, ethnicities, gender, 
     socioeconomic status, and English language proficiencies, and

     Students.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (A) The rate of decline in our urban schools is escalating 
     at a rapid pace. Student performance in most inner city 
     schools grows worse each year. At least half of all students 
     entering ninth grade fail to graduate 4 years later and many 
     more students from high-poverty backgrounds leave school with 
     skills that are inadequate for today's workplace. Student 
     performance in many inner city neighborhoods grows worse each 
     year. At least half of all students entering ninth grade fail 
     to graduate in 4 years. In 1992, the average National 
     Assessment of Educational Progress reading score of Caucasian 
     17 year-olds was approximately 25 points higher than that of 
     African American 17 year-olds and 20 points higher than that 
     of Hispanic 17 year-olds.
       (B) Rural schools enroll a disproportionately large share 
     of the poor and at-risk students of the United States and yet 
     often lack the means to address effectively the needs of 
     these children. Intensive efforts should be made to overcome 
     the problems of geographic isolation, declining population, 
     inadequate financial resources and other impediments to the 
     educational success of children residing in rural areas.
       (C) By the year 2000, an estimated 3,400,000 school age 
     children with limited-English proficiency will be entering 
     the school system. The Federal Government should develop 
     effective policies and programs to address the educational 
     needs of this growing population of children who are at 
     increased risk of educational failure.
       (D) An educational emergency exists in those urban and 
     rural areas where there are large concentrations of children 
     who live in poverty. The numbers of disadvantaged children 
     will substantially increase by the year 2020, when the number 
     of impoverished children alone will be 16,500,000, a 33 
     percent increase over the 12,400,000 children in poverty in 
     1987.
       (E) American Indian and Alaska Native students have high 
     dropout, illiteracy and poverty rates, and experience 
     cultural, linguistic, social and geographic isolation. The 
     estimated 400,000 Indian and Alaska Native student population 
     from over 500 Indian and Alaska Native tribes, is small and 
     scattered throughout remote reservations and villages in 32 
     States, and in off-reservation rural and urban communities 
     where Indians constitute but a small percentage of public 
     school student bodies. To meaningfully address the special 
     educational needs of this historically under-served 
     population, the existing research and development system 
     should be opened to Indian and Alaska Native people to 
     identify needs and design ways to address such needs.
       (F) Minority scholars as well as institutions and groups 
     that have been historically committed to the improvement of 
     the education of at-risk students need to be more fully 
     mobilized in the effort to develop a new generation of 
     programs, models, practices, and schools capable of 
     responding to the urgent needs of students who are 
     educationally at-risk.
       (2) Purpose.--It shall be the purpose of the Institute on 
     the Education of At-Risk Students to carry out a coordinated 
     and comprehensive program of research and development to 
     provide nonpartisan, research-based leadership to the United 
     States as it seeks to improve educational opportunities for 
     at-risk students. Such program shall--
       (A) undertake research necessary to provide a sound basis 
     from which to identify, develop, evaluate, and assist others 
     to replicate and adapt interventions, programs, and models 
     which promote greater achievement and educational success by 
     at-risk students, such as--
       (i) methods of instruction and educational practices 
     (including community services) which improve the achievement 
     and retention of at-risk students;
       (ii) the quality of educational opportunities afforded at-
     risk students, particularly the quality of educational 
     opportunities afforded such students in highly concentrated 
     urban areas and sparsely populated rural areas;
       (iii) methods for overcoming the barriers to learning that 
     may impede student achievement;
       (iv) innovative teacher training and professional 
     development methods to help at-risk students meet challenging 
     standards;
       (v) methods to improve the quality of the education of 
     American Indian and Alaska Native students not only in 
     schools funded by the Bureau, but also in public elementary 
     and secondary schools located on or near Indian reservations, 
     including--

       (I) research on mechanisms to facilitate the establishment 
     of tribal departments of education that assume responsibility 
     for all education programs of State educational agencies 
     operating on an Indian reservation and all education programs 
     funded by the Bureau on an Indian reservation;
       (II) research on the development of culturally appropriate 
     curriculum for American Indian and Alaska Native students, 
     including American Indian and Alaska Native culture, 
     language, geography, history and social studies, and 
     graduation requirements related to such curriculum;
       (III) research on methods for recruiting, training and 
     retraining qualified teachers from American Indian and Alaska 
     Native communities, including research to promote flexibility 
     in the criteria for certification of such teachers;
       (IV) research on techniques for improving the educational 
     achievement of American Indian and Alaska Native students, 
     including methodologies to reduce dropout rates and increase 
     graduation by such students; and
       (V) research concerning the performance by American Indian 
     and Alaska Native students of limited-English proficiency on 
     standardized achievement tests, and related factors;

       (vi) means by which parents and community resources and 
     institutions (including cultural institutions) can be 
     utilized to support and improve the achievement of at-risk 
     students;
       (vii) the training of teachers and other educational 
     professionals and paraprofessionals to work more effectively 
     with at-risk students;
       (viii) the most effective uses of technology in the 
     education of at-risk students;
       (ix) programs designed to promote gender equity in schools 
     that serve at-risk students;
       (x) improving the ability of classroom teachers and schools 
     to assist new and diverse populations of students in 
     successfully assimilating into the classroom environment;
       (xi) methods of assessing the achievement of students which 
     are sensitive to cultural differences, provide multiple 
     methods of assessing student learning, support student 
     acquisition of higher order capabilities, and enable 
     identification of the effects of inequalities in the 
     resources available to support the learning of children 
     throughout the United States;
       (xii) other topics relevant to the purpose of the 
     Institute; and
       (B) maximize the participation of those schools and 
     institutions of higher education that serve the greatest 
     number of at-risk students in inner city and rural areas, and 
     on Indian reservations, including model collaborative 
     programs between schools and school systems, institutions of 
     higher education, cultural institutions, and community 
     organizations.
       (3) Consultation with indian and alaska native educators.--
     All research and development activities supported by the 
     Institute which relate to the education of Indian and Alaska 
     Native students shall be developed in close consultation with 
     Indian and Alaska Native researchers and educators, tribally 
     controlled community colleges, tribal departments of 
     education, and others with expertise in the needs of Indian 
     and Native Alaska students.
       (f) National Institute on Early Childhood Development and 
     Education.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (A) Despite efforts to expand and improve preschool 
     programs, many children still reach school age unprepared to 
     benefit from formal education programs.
       (B) Early intervention for disadvantaged children from 
     birth to age five has been shown to be a highly cost-
     effective strategy for reducing later expenditures on a wide 
     variety of health, developmental, and educational problems 
     that often interfere with learning. Long-term studies of the 
     benefits of preschool education have a demonstrated return on 
     investment ranging from three to six dollars for every one 
     dollar spent.
       (C) The Federal government should play a central role in 
     providing research-based information on early childhood 
     education models which enhance children's development and 
     ultimately their success in school.
       (2) Purpose.--The purpose of the National Institute on 
     Early Childhood Development and Education is to carry out a 
     comprehensive program of research and development to provide 
     nonpartisan, research-based leadership to the United States 
     as it seeks to improve early childhood development and 
     education. Such program shall undertake research necessary to 
     provide a sound basis from which to identify, develop, 
     evaluate,

[[Page 353]]

     and assist others to replicate methods and approaches that 
     promise to improve early childhood development and education, 
     such as--
       (A) social and educational development of infants, 
     toddlers, and preschool children;
       (B) the role of parents and the community in promoting the 
     successful social and educational development of children 
     from birth to age five;
       (C) topics relating to children's readiness to learn, such 
     as prenatal care, nutrition, and health services;
       (D) family literacy and parental involvement in student 
     learning;
       (E) methods for integrating learning in settings other than 
     the classroom, particularly within families and communities;
       (F) practices and approaches which sustain the benefits of 
     effective preschool and child care programs;
       (G) effective learning methods and curriculum for early 
     childhood learning, including access to current materials in 
     libraries;
       (H) the importance of family literacy and parental 
     involvement in student learning;
       (I) effective teaching and learning methods, and 
     curriculum;
       (J) instruction that considers the cultural environment of 
     children;
       (K) access to current materials in libraries;
       (L) the impact that outside influences have on learning, 
     including television, and drug and alcohol abuse;
       (M) the structure and environment of early childhood 
     education and child care settings which lead to improved 
     social and educational development;
       (N) training and preparation of teachers and other 
     professional and paraprofessional preschool and child care 
     workers;
       (O) the use of technology, including methods to help 
     parents instruct their children; and
       (P) other topics relevant to the purpose of the Institute.
       (3) Certain requirements.--In carrying out the activities 
     of the Institute, the Assistant Secretary shall ensure that 
     the Institute's research and development program provides 
     information that can be utilized in improving the major 
     Federal early childhood education programs.
       (g) National Institute on Educational Governance, Finance, 
     Policy-Making, and Management.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (A) Many elementary and secondary schools in the United 
     States--
       (i) are structured according to models that are ineffective 
     and rely on notions of management and governance that may be 
     outdated or insufficient for the challenges of the next 
     century; and
       (ii) are unsuccessful in equipping all students with the 
     knowledge and skills needed to succeed as citizens and in the 
     working world.
       (B) New approaches are needed in the governance and 
     management of elementary and secondary education within the 
     United States at the State, local, school building and 
     classroom level.
       (C) Not enough is known about the effects of various 
     systems of school governance and management on student 
     achievement to provide sound guidance to policymakers as such 
     policymakers pursue school restructuring and reform.
       (D) A concentrated Federal effort is needed to support 
     research, development, demonstration, and evaluation of 
     approaches to school governance, finance and management which 
     promise to improve education equity and excellence throughout 
     the United States.
       (2) Purpose.--It shall be the purpose of the National 
     Institute on Educational Governance, Finance, Policy-Making, 
     and Management to carry out a coordinated and comprehensive 
     program of research and development to provide nonpartisan, 
     research-based leadership to the United States as it seeks to 
     improve student achievement through school restructuring and 
     reform. Such program shall undertake research necessary to 
     provide a sound basis from which to identify, develop and 
     evaluate approaches in elementary and secondary school 
     governance, finance, policy-making, and management at the 
     State, local, tribal, school building and classroom level 
     which promise to improve educational equity and excellence, 
     such as--
       (A) open enrollment programs, public school choice, magnet 
     schools and other systems through which parents may select 
     the public schools and educational programs in which their 
     children are enrolled;
       (B) innovative school design, including lengthening the 
     school day and the school year, reducing class size and 
     building professional development into the weekly school 
     schedule and, as appropriate, conducting such further 
     research as may be recommended or suggested by the report 
     issued by the National Education Commission on Time and 
     Learning pursuant to section 102 of the Education Council Act 
     of 1991 (20 U.S.C. 1221-1 note);
       (C) effective approaches to organizing learning;
       (D) effective ways of grouping students for learning so 
     that a student is not labeled or stigmatized in ways that may 
     impede such student's achievement;
       (E) effective approaches to organizing, structuring, and 
     financing vocational education;
       (F) the provision of financial and other rewards and 
     incentives to schools and educators based on performance to 
     improve student achievement;
       (G) the use of regulatory flexibility on the State or 
     school district level to promote innovation and school 
     restructuring;
       (H) policy decisions at all levels and the impact of such 
     decisions on school achievement and other student outcomes;
       (I) the effective use of dollars for classroom 
     construction;
       (J) expanding the role of teachers in policymaking and 
     administration at the school and school district-wide level;
       (K) disparity in school financing among States, school 
     districts, schools, and schools funded by the Bureau;
       (L) the use of technology in areas such as assisting in 
     school-based management or ameliorating the effects of 
     disparity in school financing among States, school districts, 
     and schools funded by the Bureau;
       (M) the involvement of parents and families in the 
     management and governance of schools and the education of 
     their children; and
       (N) effective approaches to increasing the representation 
     of women and minorities among leadership and management 
     positions in education;
       (O) approaches to systemic reforms involving the 
     coordination of multiple policies of each level of government 
     to promote higher levels of student achievement;
       (P) approaches to coordinated services for children;
       (Q) teacher certification at the State and tribal levels; 
     and
       (R) school-based management, shared decisionmaking and 
     other innovative school structures, and State and local 
     reforms and educational policies, which show promise for 
     improving student achievement;
       (S) policies related to school-to-work transitions and 
     preparing non-college-bound students; and
       (T) other topics relevant to the mission of the Institute.
       (h) National Institute on Postsecondary Education, 
     Libraries, and Lifelong Learning.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (A) The American system of postsecondary education is 
     foremost in the world in such system's achievement of both 
     academic excellence and equity in access, but maintaining 
     that preeminence requires renewed efforts to strengthen the 
     quality of postsecondary education. Disappointing student 
     performance on achievement tests and licensure examinations, 
     declining rates of postsecondary education persistence and 
     completion among minorities, and other troubling trends in 
     the quality of postsecondary education should be addressed by 
     the United States as part of its overall drive to improve 
     American education.
       (B) The need to improve our economic productivity of the 
     United States to meet the competitive challenges of a new, 
     international economy, coupled with high levels of mobility 
     in the United States labor market and demographic changes in 
     the workforce, now demands more and higher quality programs 
     of learning and training in the American workplace.
       (C) The more than 1,000,000 men and women incarcerated in 
     the prisons and jails in the United States are among the most 
     severely educationally disadvantaged in the United States, 
     with high rates of functional illiteracy and extremely low 
     levels of educational attainment. Since an estimated 90 
     percent of these individuals are expected to be released by 
     the end of the decade, the United States must act to assure 
     that our correctional system has the means to equip these 
     Americans with the knowledge and skills they will need to 
     participate productively in our society.
       (D) The development of a ``Nation of Students'' capable of 
     and committed to the pursuit of formal and informal lifelong 
     learning and literacy is essential to sustain both national 
     and individual economic success and to provide a nurturing 
     environment in which all children and youth can learn and 
     achieve. Historically the most effective community resource 
     for lifelong learning, the public library system of the 
     United States should expand and restructure its delivery of 
     services to take full advantage of the potential of new 
     information technologies to meet the needs of learning 
     communities.
       (2) Purpose.--The purpose of the National Institute on 
     Postsecondary Education, Libraries, and Lifelong Learning is 
     to promote greater coordination of Federal research and 
     development on issues related to adult learning and to carry 
     out a program of research and development in adult learning 
     to provide nonpartisan, research-based leadership to the 
     United States as it seeks to improve libraries, postsecondary 
     education, literacy, and lifelong learning throughout the 
     United States. Such program--
       (A) shall only support research and development in those 
     areas of postsecondary education, libraries, literacy, and 
     lifelong learning which are not being addressed by other 
     entities within the Federal Government;
       (B) may include basic and applied research, development, 
     replication, and evaluation activities in areas such as--
       (i) methods of assessing and evaluating individual, 
     program, and institutional performance;
       (ii) the uses and applications of new technologies to 
     improve program effectiveness and enhance student learning;
       (iii) the most effective training methods for adults to 
     upgrade education and vocational skills;
       (iv) opportunities for adults to continue their education 
     beyond higher education and

[[Page 354]]

     graduate school, in the context of lifelong learning and 
     information-finding skills;
       (v) adult literacy and effective methods, including 
     technology, to eliminate illiteracy;
       (vi) preparing students for a lifetime of work, the ability 
     to adapt through retraining to the changing needs of the work 
     force and the ability to learn new tasks;
       (vii) the use of technology to develop and deliver 
     effective training methods for adults to upgrade their 
     education and their vocational skills; and
       (viii) institutional and classroom policies and practices 
     at the postsecondary level necessary to improve 
     matriculation, persistence, achievement and graduation by 
     students who are economically disadvantaged, ethnic and 
     racial minorities, women, older, working, and who have 
     children;
       (ix) instructional practices and programs which are 
     effective in correctional settings;
       (x) new models of service delivery for public library 
     systems which expand opportunities for lifelong learning;
       (xi) effective programs and approaches which promote 
     greater access to and success by minorities in postsecondary 
     programs which prepare such minorities for scientific, 
     technical, teaching, and health career fields;
       (xii) effective teaching for the preparation and continuing 
     education of teachers;
       (xiii) the development and evaluation of curricular 
     materials for the initial and continuing education of 
     teachers and teacher educators;
       (xiv) the role of Historically Black Colleges and 
     Universities, Tribally-Controlled Indian Community Colleges, 
     women's colleges, and other special mission institutions in 
     providing access, excellence, and equal opportunity in higher 
     education;
       (xv) methods for evaluating the quality of education at 
     different types of institutions of higher education at all 
     levels and the roles and responsibilities of regional and 
     national accrediting agencies;
       (xvi) methods for evaluating the productivity of different 
     types of institutions of higher education;
       (xvii) financial barriers to postsecondary educational 
     opportunity, including--

       (I) the role of Federal programs authorized under title IV 
     of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and State grant and work 
     programs in mitigating such barriers;
       (II) the impact of the rising total cost of postsecondary 
     education on access to higher education; and
       (III) the extent and impact of student reliance on loans to 
     meet the costs of higher education;

       (xviii) opportunities for adults to continue their 
     education beyond higher education and graduate school, in the 
     context of lifelong learning and information-finding skills; 
     and
       (xix) preparing students for a lifetime of work, the 
     ability to adapt through retraining to the changing needs of 
     the work force and the ability to learn new tasks; and
       (xx) other topics relevant to mission of the Institute.
       (3) Involvement of certain agencies and organizations.--In 
     promoting coordination and collaboration on research and 
     development on issues related to postsecondary education, 
     literacy, libraries, and lifelong learning, the Institute 
     shall, as appropriate, seek the involvement--
       (A) within the Department of Education of--
       (i) the Office of Library Programs;
       (ii) the Office of Correctional Education;

       (i) Coordination and Research Synthesis.--The Assistant 
     Secretary shall promote and provide for research syntheses 
     and the coordination of research and development activities 
     among the Institutes established by this section to 
     investigate those cross-cutting disciplines and areas of 
     inquiry which are relevant to the missions of more than one 
     of the Institutes. Such activities--
       (1) may be carried out jointly by any one of the Institutes 
     and--
       (A) one (or more) of the Institutes;

            PART D--NATIONAL EDUCATION DISSEMINATION SYSTEM

     SEC. 941. ESTABLISHMENT WITHIN OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH 
                   AND IMPROVEMENT.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (A) In order to improve the American educational system for 
     all students, achieve the National Education Goals, and 
     provide for greater educational equity, policymakers, 
     administrators, teachers, and parents must have ready access 
     to the best information and methods available as a result of 
     educational research and development.

     SEC. 1012. FUNDING FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES 
                   EDUCATION ACT.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was 
     established with the commitment of forty percent Federal 
     funding but currently receives only eight percent Federal 
     funding;
       (2) this funding shortfall is particularly burdensome to 
     school districts and schools in low-income areas which serve 
     higher than average proportions of students with disabilities 
     and have fewer local resources to contribute; and
       (3) it would cost the Federal Government approximately 
     $10,000,000,000 each year to fully fund the Individuals with 
     Disabilities Education Act.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the Federal Government should provide States and 
     communities with adequate resources under the Individuals 
     with Disabilities Education Act as soon as reasonably 
     possible, through the reallocation of noneducation funds 
     within the current budget monetary constraints.

     ``share of the cost of the activities of the Board is'' and 
     inserting ``contributions described in subsection (f) are''; 
     and
       (3) by amending subsection (f) to read as follows:
       ``(f) Matching Funds Requirement.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall not provide 
     financial assistance under this subpart to the Board unless 
     the Board agrees to expend non-Federal contributions equal to 
     $1 for every $1 of the Federal funds provided pursuant to 
     such financial assistance.
       ``(2) Non-federal contributions.--The non-Federal 
     contributions described in paragraph (1)--

     subject to an administrative compliance order, or both, as 
     determined by the Secretary. Each day a violation continues 
     shall constitute a separate violation. In the case of any 
     civil penalty under this section, the total amount shall not

     order may be issued, by the Secretary only after an 
     opportunity for a hearing in accordance with section 554 of 
     title 5, United States Code. Before making such assessment or 
     issuing such order, or both, the Secretary shall give written 
     notice thereof to such person by certified mail with return 
     receipt and provide therein an opportunity to request in 
     writing not later than 30 days after the date of receipt of 
     such notice such hearing. The notice shall reasonably 
     describe the violation and be accompanied with the procedures 
     for such hearing and a simple form to request such hearing if 
     such person desires to use such form. If a hearing is 
     requested, the Secretary shall establish by such certified 
     notice the time and place for such hearing which should be 
     located, to the greatest extent possible, at a location 
     convenient to such person. The Secretary (or the Secretary's 
     designee) and such person may consult to arrange a suitable 
     date and location where appropriate.
       (3) Circumstances affecting penalty or order.--In

     violation;
       (B) with respect to the violator, any good faith efforts to 
     comply, the importance of achieving early and permanent 
     compliance, the ability to pay or comply, the effect of the 
     penalty or order on the ability to continue operation, any 
     prior history of the same kind of violation, the degree of 
     culpability, and any demonstration of willingness to comply 
     with the prohibitions of this section in a timely manner; and
       (C) such other matters as justice may require.
       (4) Modification.--The Secretary may, as appropriate, 
     compromise, modify, or remit, with or without conditions, any 
     civil penalty or administrative compliance order. In the case 
     of a civil penalty, the amount, as finally determined by the 
     Secretary or agreed upon in compromise, may be deducted from 
     any sums that the United States or its agencies or 
     instrumentalities owes to the person against whom the penalty 
     is assessed.
       (5) Petition for review.--Any person aggrieved by a penalty 
     assessed or an order issued, or both, by the Secretary under 
     this section may file a petition for judicial review thereof 
     with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of 
     Columbia Circuit or for any other circuit in which the person 
     resides or transacts business. Such person shall provide a 
     copy thereof to the Secretary or the Secretary's designee. 
     The petition shall be filed within 30 days after the 
     Secretary's assessment or order, or both, are final and have 
     been provided to such person by certified mail. The Secretary 
     shall promptly provide to the court a certified copy of the 
     transcript of any hearing held under this section and a copy 
     of the notice or order.

[[Page 363]]

       (6) Failure to comply.--If a person fails to pay an 
     assessment of a civil penalty or comply with an order, after 
     either or both are final under this section, or after a court 
     under paragraph (5) has entered a final judgment in favor of 
     the Secretary, the Attorney General, at the request of the 
     Secretary, shall recover the amount of the civil penalty 
     (plus interest at then currently prevailing rates from the 
     day either or both are final) or enforce the order in an 
     action brought in the appropriate district court of the 
     United States. In such action, the validity and 
     appropriateness of the penalty or order or the amount of the 
     penalty shall not be subject to review.

     SEC. 1044. PREEMPTION.

       Nothing in this part is intended to preempt any provision 
     of law of a State or political subdivision of a State that is 
     more restrictive than a provision of this part.

  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. 30.5  lobbying activities

  Mr. BRYANT, pursuant to House Resolution 397, moved to suspend the 
rules and pass the bill of the Senate (S. 349) to provide for the 
disclosure of lobbying activities to influence the Federal Government, 
and for other purposes, as amended; insist on the House amendment 
thereto, and request a conference with the Senate thereon.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. VISCLOSKEY, recognized Mr. BRYANT and Mr. 
GEKAS, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and pass said bill, as amended, 
insist on the House amendment thereto, and request a conference with the 
Senate thereon?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. KENNELLY, announced that two-thirds of 
the Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  Mr. BRYANT 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.

with the Senate thereon, was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Thereupon, the SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. KENNELLY, by unanimous 
consent, announced the appointment of Messrs. Bryant, Glickman, Frank, 
Fish and Gekas, as managers on the part of the House at said conference.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 30.7  point of personal privilege

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

  ``Madam Speaker, I rise to a point of personal privilege of the 
House.
  ``In rising to this point of privilege, I wish to express concern 
about the breakdown of comity that has occurred on a personal and 
procedural level in the House Banking Committee.
  ``On a personal level, unfortunate adjectives have been used; on a 
procedural level, unprecedented tactics have been employed.
  ``I don't wish to dwell on the personal, except to stress my high 
regard for the chairman of the Banking Committee and to suggest that, 
as the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr once observed, the temper and 
integrity of the political debate is more important in our kind of 
democracy than the outcome of any issue.
  ``Motivational aspersions are no substitute for full disclosure; 
indignation no substitute for pursuit of truth.
  ``Members of the majority may be speaking the truth when they 
indicate they have no evidence of a link between the failure of an 
Arkansas S&L and Whitewater and that they know of no improprieties at 
issue. But it should be understood that not speaking an untruth is not 
the same as describing a truthful situation, particularly if there has 
been no serious effort to pursue the truth.
  ``Constitutionally it is the duty of Congress to oversee breaches of 
law or public ethics in the executive branch. During the 12 years of 
the so-called divided Government of the Reagan/Bush era, the 
legislative branch took its constitutionally mandated oversight 
function seriously, as witnessed by the expansion in the size of its 
staff and the number of investigations undertaken.
  ``Now both the executive and the legislative branches of Government 
are controlled by the same political party. The oversight mandate thus 
falls disproportionately upon the ranking members of the respective 
committees for those areas of the executive branch over which they have 
jurisdiction. Not to assume leadership in performing the oversight 
function with regard to the way in which the financial institutions of 
this country are managed and regulated would be to violate my oath to 
`support and defend the Constitution of the United States * * * and * * 
* well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office.'
  ``If the majority party refuses to uphold its responsibilities 
because of political embarrassment to its party's top elected official, 
the minority party is left with the choice either of joining in a 
complicity of silence or pursuing investigations that run the danger of 
being partisan.
  ``In this context, I would simply emphasize that I raised the 
Whitewater issue with great reluctance, realizing the import as well as 
the power of the Presidency. I fully understand the political and 
personal liabilities involved. Nonetheless, I feel it would be 
inconsistent, indeed, hypocritical, to my own values, if I refused to 
pursue a line of inquiry potentially embarrassing to the President of a 
country which from its inception was intended to be hallmarked by law 
and its applicability to all citizens. It is, after all, the 
establishment of a government of laws, not men, that defines the 
uniqueness of the American experiment with democracy.
  ``Procedurally, it should be noted that the minority is currently 
engaged in one of the most profound checks and balances philosophical 
engagements with the executive branch in the modern history of the 
Congress. This engagement carries far greater implications than any 
judgment relating to a particular embarrassment of a particular public 
official at a particular time because at issue is precedent: whether in 
future circumstances the oversight capacities of Congress can be 
thwarted if the majority party of Congress is the same as that in 
control of the executive branch and chooses to refrain from its 
oversight obligations in order not to embarrass its party's standings.
  ``It is possible that the constitutional precedent for our checks and 
balances system surrounding the refusal of the administration to 
cooperate with an oversight probe of the executive branch which the 
majority party does not sanction may have more long-term negative 
consequences than any episodic embarrassment that might relate to this 
or any President's past. What is at issue is the definition of Congress 
as it applies to the constitutionally granted oversight 
responsibilities of the legislature. In our checks and balances system, 
Congress was given oversight responsibilities, but this administration 
is suggesting in response to minority requests for documentation from 
executive agencies that only chairmen speak for Congress. The minority 
in Congress, by this logic, has no power to advance or fulfill its 
constitutional rights if the majority does not concur in request for 
information. If such precedent is allowed to stand, Congress's 
oversight capacities will for all practical purposes be hamstrung 
whenever the executive and legislative branches of Government are 
controlled by the same party. Would our Founding Fathers have had this 
in mind?
  ``In this connection, on December 9, 1993, as ranking member of the 
Banking Committee, I wrote Federal regulatory agencies to request 
certain documents of an oversight interest [example, Tab A]. In a 
followup letter I pointed out, as the courts have noted, `The Congress 
rarely acts as a body. Its manifold duties in the legislative, 
investigative, and oversight fields are almost invariably carried out 
through committees, committee chairmen, individual members, and staff 
personnel.' Murphy v. Department of Army, 613 F.2d 1151, 1156 (1979). 
In addition, the court stated:

       The Senate and the House are so organized that certain 
     legislative and quasi-legislative activities may be 
     accomplished only through committee action. In other 
     respects, however, the legislature acts through its 
     individual Members. All Members have a constitutionally 
     recognized status entitling them to share in general 
     congressional powers and responsibilities, many of them 
     requiring access to executive information. It would be an 
     inappropriate intrusion into the legislative sphere for the 
     courts to decide without congressional direction that, for 
     example, only the chairman of a committee shall be regarded 
     as the official voice of the Congress for purposes of 
     receiving such information, as distinguished from its ranking 
     minority member, or other committee members, or other members 
     of Congress. Each of them participates in the law-making 
     process; each has a voice and a vote in that process; and 
     each is entitled to request such information from the 
     executive agencies as will enable him to carry out the 
     responsibilities of a legislator.

  ``Agency heads responded that a ranking member only has the authority 
of an individual Member of Congress and, therefore, may only obtain 
information that would be available to the public pursuant to the 
Freedom of Information Act. In addition, the Office of Thrift 
Supervision asserted that it differs `with the view that Rules X and XI 
of the House of Representatives grant to a ranking minority member--or 
any individual member--the same authority to request information that a 
committee chairman possesses.' In short, the agencies contend that only 
chairmen, not ranking members, speak for Congress.
  ``Subsequently, on March 8, 1994, I wrote requesting information for 
the Banking Committee's upcoming RTC oversight hearing [Tab B]. Agency 
heads again responded by holding to the position that only the chairman 
of a committee would be permitted access to agency documents.
  ``In this dispute about who is entitled to speak for Congress in the 
context of Congress' right and obligation under Article I of the 
Constitution to conduct oversight of the executive branch, the chairman 
of the Banking Committee, in what may have been an effort to bolster 
the executive's position, wrote agency heads on March 10, 1994, to 
suggest that they deny my document request and wrote separately on 
March 14, 1994, to state that they need not answer questions concerning 
Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan at the scheduled hearings [Tabs C and 
D]. The chairman's letter contained an implicit and unprecedented 
philosophical assertion that not only does a chairman

[[Page 373]]

have the exclusive right to obtain oversight documents from the 
executive branch, but the right to deny such documentation to other 
Members and the right even to deny inquiries about issues clearly 
germane to the subject of hearings.
  ``So that there is no misunderstanding, the RTC oversight hearing was 
scheduled under requirement of law, section 21A(k)(6) of the Federal 
Home Loan Bank Act (12 U.S.C. Sec. 1441a(k)(6)), and there is no 
provision in that law for exceptions to congressional oversight that 
relate to a single State and its institutions. The U.S. Congress wrote 
a law applicable to all 50 States, not 49, and the oversight of our 
laws applies throughout this country. Just as in America no individual 
is above the law, no State is beyond its reach. Just as no individual 
is entitled to violate the law out of ignorance of it, no person, even 
the chairman of a congressional committee, is entitled after the fact 
to be sole interpreter of a law's meaning or serve as a censor to 
another Member's inquiries. Indeed, no Member of Congress has the right 
or power to deny relevant information to another Member.
  ``In addition to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, the committee's role 
in oversight is buttressed by the House rules as modified under the 
Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970. I refer to paragraph 2 of House 
Rule X providing for the committee's `General Oversight 
Responsibilities' which states:

       (b)(1) Each standing committee . . . shall review and 
     study, on a continuing basis, the application, 
     administration, execution, and effectiveness of those laws, 
     or parts of laws, the subject matter of which is within the 
     jurisdiction of that committee and the organization and 
     operation of the Federal agencies and entities having 
     responsibilities in or for the administration and execution 
     thereof, in order to determine whether such laws and the 
     programs thereunder are being implemented and carried out in 
     accordance with the intent of the congress and whether such 
     programs should be continued, curtailed, or eliminated.

  ``Separate procedural rules may apply to an investigative hearing, 
but such rules do not apply in this case. The statutorily mandated RTC 
hearing is an oversight hearing in accordance with rule X. Any reliance 
on investigative hearing procedures to deny information to committee 
members is misplaced. Any information requests or questions by Members 
related in any manner to RTC operations are authorized under the 
committee's oversight authority. It is also expected that in answering 
questions witnesses have the obligation either to assert appropriate 
privileges or fully respond with answers to the questions (See, 2 
U.S.C. Sec. 192, Sinclair v. United States, 279 U.S. 263 (1929)) and 
such answers shall be truthful. (See, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1001, U.S. v. 
Poindexter, 951 F.2d 369 (D.C. Cir. 1991)).
  ``Moreover, the precedent of the Banking Committee is clear with 
respect to the relevance of specific questions on specific 
institutions. On numerous occasions at past RTC oversight hearings, 
questions related to individual institutions have been asked by 
committee members, including the chairman, and answered by witnesses. 
In fact, the committee's invitation letter of March 3, 1994, to 
Treasury Secretary Bentsen for purposes of the RTC oversight hearing, 
seeks testimony and documents related to a specific institution, 
Homefed Savings. Of relevance also is the following statement last week 
of the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee:

       So we have had now over the years since 1989, a very long 
     series of regular oversight hearings where we call in the 
     officials responsible for implementing that law to find out 
     exactly how it is working and if there is a need to change 
     any particular part of it. Is it working the way it was 
     designed to work? Have we corrected all the abuses? We were 
     so concerned about that issue that, in fact, we built into 
     that 1989 law a requirement that there has to be a hearing 
     here in Congress every 6 months on how that cleanup effort is 
     doing and how that law is being implemented. Within the text 
     of that part of the law we went so far as to say that any 
     institutions that failed in that time period, in the mid-
     1980's, that if any Senator on the committee wanted to come 
     in and ask questions about that particular institution, that 
     they had a right in law to do so. We did not foresee the 
     Madison case at that time, but it applies precisely to the 
     Madison case and every other case out of that time period. 
     (Cong. Rec. S3153, March 17, 1994).

  ``To the degree the chairman's letters are open to an interpretation 
that would imply the possibility that they have been requested by the 
administration to bolster its efforts to deny information to the 
Congress and thereby the public, at issue would be a collusive effort 
by the majority party in the Congress to aid and abet the executive 
branch in its concerted effort to deny disclosure of information 
related to legitimate congressional oversight.
  ``In this regard, a letter recently copied to Representative William 
Clinger, ranking member of the Government Operations Committee, 
evidences a comparable approach in another committee of Congress [Tab 
E].
  ``It is the minority's position that executive branch witnesses must 
address their obligations to respond to legitimate oversight requests 
and legitimate inquiries on the subject of hearings as required by the 
law and the Constitution, not in conjunction with any arbitrary desire 
of a chairman to deny discussion on a subject the executive branch 
would rather not forthcomingly address. The minority party, has a 
baseline assumption that officials of the U.S. Government will comply 
with the law and, when appearing before a committee of Congress, abide 
by the Code of Government Ethics for Federal employees to `Uphold the 
Constitution, laws, and regulations of the United States and all 
governments therein and never be party to their evasion.' [Public Law 
No. 96-303, July 3, 1980, 94 Stat. 855].
  ``The constitutionally-derived obligation of oversight cannot be 
short-circuited at the whim of the congressional majority. It is just 
as much the duty of the minority party, as the majority. Indeed, in 
real life circumstance as evidenced in this particular incident, 
oversight may in practice imply a greater obligation on the party out 
of power than the party in control of the executive branch.
  ``Hodding Carter, the distinguished journalist from Mississippi, 
recently noted that southerners of virtually all philosophical stripes 
recognized a little or a lot of truth in certain northern concerns 
about discrimination that existed in the South in the heyday of civil 
rights activism. But with understandable resentment all felt that 
northerners had a duty to look a little more assiduously in their own 
backyards. In this probe of Whitewater, I believe an outsider might 
conclude that the single party concentration of political power in 
Arkansas may be in need of review that the shadow of Lyndon Johnson and 
Huey Long may have been cast to greatly on a former governorship. But 
as a northerner, I am obligated to note that my primary responsibility 
is my backyard, in this case the body to which I am elected to serve. 
While I believe it would be unfair to suggest that one of America's 
great political parties is more honest than the other, I believe the 
concerted effort to avoid accountability and full disclosure in the 
Whitewater incident, and the unfortunate institutional precedents in 
process of being established, reflect attitudes more associated with 
single party governance of closed than open societies. Competition is 
the American way. When single party dominance is long and deep, 
arrogance associated with power creeps incontestably into the system. 
Whitewater, in the end, may tell more about Congress than the executive 
branch.
  ``In this context, the minority raised concerns about the manner in 
which the RTC oversight hearing scheduled this week might have been 
conducted. Nevertheless, the minority was disappointed the hearing was 
abruptly postponed.
  ``Postponement of the hearing by the majority raises, above anything 
else, the issue of compliance with the law. Compliance with the law is 
not a matter of convenience or discretion. The majority party has no 
prerogative to avoid capriciously its legal obligations.
  ``Hearings mandated by statute were to have occurred by December 3, 
1993. It is a statutory obligation of the majority in the legislative 
branch to conduct on a timely basis RTC oversight; it is the statutory 
obligation of the executive to cooperate with Congress and comply with 
its legal responsibilities.
  ``The negotiations this week between leaders of the House which led 
to the passage of a bipartisan resolution expressing the sense of the 
House as to the need to hold bipartisan hearings are promising. The 
subsequent statements by the Speaker that these discussions were of the 
`possibility of hearings, not a concession that hearings are not 
necessarily going to take

[[Page 374]]

place,' is disappointing. The majority that an obligation to ensure the 
decision to postpone indefinitely RTC hearings does not amount to yet 
another example of Congress not applying the law to itself.
  ``With regard to a possible hearing, let me stress the minority has 
offered to cooperate fully with the special counsel. We have 
transferred substantial information to his office. We have given him 
our proposed witness list and offered to support a delay in the day of 
hearings provided under House rules to the minority to allow him a 
chance to depose witnesses first. For his part, the special counsel, in 
a meeting on March 17, 1994, with the minority, said that he would not 
impede in any manner executive branch testimony and that he would not 
stand in the way of an RTC oversight hearing. Mr. Fiske also stated 
that he did not object to the disclosure of copies of documents to 
Congress, other than White House documents. The existence of a special 
counsel appointed in the Madison case cannot be used as a rationale to 
avoid providing RTC oversight information to Congress.
  ``Congress and prosecuting attorneys have differentiated roles, but 
they are by no means incompatible. In fact, they are generally 
complementary. Indeed, in the Banking Committee hearings over the past 
decade on institutions such as Lincoln--Charles Keating, and 
Silverado--Neil Bush, the Justice Department had tandem investigations 
underway. Hearings almost always reveal knowledge and perspective that 
is helpful to prosecutors. It was, after all, Senator Ervin's committee 
that revealed the existence of the Watergate tapes and it was the 
recent Senate hearing that revealed improper contacts between executive 
branch agencies and the White House. The major recent exception where a 
prosecutor was undercut by Congress involved excessive zeal to 
embarrass Presidents Reagan and Bush that caused a committee to offer 
immunity to certain witnesses in the Iran Contra people. But the more 
general proposition is that constraining a congressional inquiry has 
the effect of reducing knowledge, thus reducing prosecutorial 
discretion.
  ``Mr. Speaker, in a country in which process is our most important 
product, it is the belief of this Member that the precedents 
established in this investigation are more important than the 
investigation itself. Nevertheless, I come to the floor this afternoon 
to present to the attention of the House and the American people some 
findings, with supporting documentation, the Minority has uncovered in 
its ongoing investigation of the Whitewater/Madison affair.
  ``Accordingly, I would like to review in both a perspective and 
information dispensing sense the Madison/Whitewater issue and divide 
the remainder of my discussion in two categories: what happened and how 
the administration has responded.
  ``On the landscape of political scandals Whitewater may be a bump, 
but it speaks mountains about me-generation public ethics as well as 
single party control of certain States and the U.S. Congress.
  ``In a nutshell, Whitewater is about the arrogance of power--
Machiavellian machinations of single-party Government. It all began in 
the late 1970's when a budding S&L owner named James McDougal formed a 
50-50 real estate venture with a young politician, the then Attorney 
General of Arkansas, Bill Clinton. In this venture called Whitewater, 
the S&L owner and S&L affiliated entities provided virtually all, 
perhaps, all, the money; the Governor-in-the-making provided his name.
  ``Over the years, the company received infusions of cash from the S&L 
as well as from a small business investment corporation which diverted, 
allegedly at the Governor's request, federally-guaranteed funds from a 
program designed for socially and economically disadvantaged people to 
the Governor's partners and thence, in part, to Whitewater.
  ``Some of these funds were used to pay off personal and campaign 
liabilities of the Governor; some to purchase a tract of land from a 
company to which the State had just given a significant tax break. 
Whitewater records have apparently been largely lost. A review of the 
numerous land transactions, however, raises questions of what happened 
to the money that came into the company and a review of the President's 
tax records raises questions about tax deductions that were taken and 
income that may not have been declared.
  ``Under the governorship of Bill Clinton, Jim McDougal was named a 
Gubernatorial aide to serve principally liaison to the Economic 
Development, Commerce, and Highway and Transportation Departments; the 
first lady of Arkansas was hired to represent the S&L before State 
regulators; the president of the S&L was placed on the State S&L 
commission; an attorney who represented the S&L was named the State S&L 
regulator; the S&L received rent from State agencies; Whitewater had 
roads constructed using a State agency program and State funds; and the 
S&L was allowed to operate, despite being insolvent for an extended 
period, providing millions in loans and investment dollars to insiders 
and the Arkansas political establishment.
  ``Under the governorship of Bill Clinton, the S&L was allowed to grow 
25-fold until Federal regulators forced its closing, at which time 
taxpayers picked up the tab for losses that amounted to approximately 
50 percent of the institutions's deposit base.
  ``Under the governorship of Bill Clinton, the total number of State-
chartered savings associations declined dramatically. Over the period 
December 1979 to December 1992, the number of stock State-chartered 
thrifts in Arkan- 
sas declined from the 33, with assets of $961,002,000 to 3, with assets 
of $146,072,000. Viewed another way, the amount of assets available to 
support home mortgage lending for the people of Arkansas declined.
  ``The story of Whitewater is thus part and parcel the story of the 
greatest domestic policy mistake of the century--the quarter-trillion 
dollar S&L debacle. It is the story of a company which in one sense was 
a simple real estate development venture, but in another was a vehicle 
used to spirit federally insured deposits from an S&L and compromise a 
significant political figure.
  ``In the largest series of bank robberies in history, which 
precipitated an industry bail out larger than the taxpayers provided 
Lockheed, Chrysler, and New York City times a factor of 10, it is fair 
to ask: `What happened? Who is responsible.'
  ``An answer to these inquiries requires an understanding that those 
accountable are not only a few negligent and corrupt S&L owners, but 
attorneys, accountants, State and Federal legislators, regulator and 
assorted public officials. As wide ranging as the responsibility is, 
however, it is a mistake to be so glassy eyed as not seek lessons for 
the future through a demand for individual accountability for breaches 
of law and ethics in the past.
  ``Macroeconomics aside, public responsibility for the S&L debacle is 
of a tripod nature, involving: First, the conflict-ridden role of 
Congress in passing loose laws; second, the ideological mistake of the 
Reagan administration in urging deregulation in an industry which 
requires responsible standards; and third, the culpability of a small 
number of State governments, such as in California, Texas, Louisiana, 
and Arkansas, which failed to rein in high flying State-chartered, 
State-regulated institutions, which because of the Federal nature of 
deposit insurance, precipitated a massive transfer of wealth from 
States with responsible governments to those without.
  ``In Arkansas it is impressive how the Federal Government was 
obligated to close more than 80 percent of State-chartered S&L's in the 
1980's and how large taxpayer losses were in relation to the State's 
S&L deposit base. The failure of the Clinton administration in Little 
Rock to fulfill its responsibility to police State financial 
institutions had the effect of increasing tax burdens on citizens of 
Arkansas as well as other States.
  ``While taxpayers at the national level were forced to pick up the 
tab for the mistakes of politicians in whose elections they could not 
vote, citizens in States like Arkansas were doubly shortchanged. Not 
only did they have to share in eventual bail out costs, but when their 
home-based financial institutions frittered away the hard earned 
deposit savings of the their State to insiders, fewer resources were 
made available to potential homeowners and minority entrepreneurs.

[[Page 375]]

  ``What the Keating-5 scandal was all about was the attempt of an S&L 
owner to compromise through political contributions significant 
political players, in this case five Senators, to influence regulators 
to keep an insolvent, corruptly run, institution from being closed. 
What makes Governor Clinton's involvement with a company which helped 
breach the vaults of an Arkansas S&L philosophically at least equal to, 
but in reality more troubling than the Keating model is that not only 
did the institution's management organize conflict-ridden fund-raising 
endeavors for the key politician in the State, but through Whitewater 
it put the Governor in a compromising personal finance position as 
well.
  ``What is extraordinary is the hypocrisy of the circumstance. The 
following 1991 announcement statement of Governor Clinton speaks for 
itself:

       For 12 years of this Reagan-Bush era, the Republicans have 
     let S&L crooks and self-serving CEO's try to build an economy 
     out of paper and perks instead of people and products. They 
     stack the deck in favor of their friends at the top and tell 
     everybody else to wait for whatever trickles down.

  ``Despite the rhetoric it is remarkable how time after time in the 
1980's, alleged defenders of the little guy in American politics found 
themselves advancing the interests of a small number of owners of 
financial institutions which were run as private piggy banks for 
insiders. The intertwining of greed and ambition turned democratic 
values upside down.
  ``In our kind of democracy ends simply don't justify means. Just as a 
conservative, who may despise government, has no ethical right not to 
pay taxes, a liberal has no ethical basis to put the public's money in 
his own or his campaign's pocket just because he may have the arrogance 
to believe he is advancing a political creed that is in the public's 
interest.
  ``Why does all this matter?
  ``Here, it would perhaps be appropriate to paraphrase the great 
Illinois Senator, Ev Dirksen: a few thousand here and a few thousand 
there and pretty soon it adds up to a real scandal. Put another way, an 
ethical lapse here and an ethical lapse there and pretty soon it adds 
up to a character deficit.
  ``I have never known anyone in public life better able to put 
embarrassing episodes behind him than Bill Clinton. Accordingly, I 
couldn't have been more surprised by the discombobulation of the 
administration at the minority's restrained request last November for 
hearings and full disclosure.
  ``As in most serious public scandals, coverups can prove as troubling 
as acts at their source.
  ``Much press attention has centered in recent weeks on the 
revelations of improper contact between employees of independent 
Federal agencies and the White House. The question of whether a heads 
up was appropriate is of significance. More so, is whether the line 
between a heads up and coverup was crossed.
  ``By background, for several years a group of criminal investigators 
for the RTC in Kansas City reviewed the failure of Madison Guaranty 
Savings & Loan in Little Rock and came to the conclusion criminal 
referrals were appropriate. In the last week of September 1993, they 
sent copies of their referrals to Washington. Within a few days of 
receipt of the referrals from the Kansas City office, RTC Washington 
officials visited the White House. Within a few weeks, in an 
unprecedented change of procedure, Washington demanded to review all 
Madison referrals. Within a few months, a senior Kansas City criminal 
investigator was removed from the case. Within a few more months, 
officials from RTC Washington visited Kansas City to pass on the 
determined message that senior RTC officials in Washington wanted it 
understood that they wished to claim Whitewater was not responsible for 
any losses at Madison.
  ``Courageously, Kansas City investigators refused to allow Washington 
RTC objections to change the content of the referrals they sent in the 
second week of October 1993, to the Justice Department.
  ``Courageously, Kansas City investigators refused to back the 
Washington position that Madison's losses were unrelated to Whitewater 
and pointed out to their superiors that in one intensely reviewed 6-
month period alone approximately $70,000 was transferred from Madison 
and Madison affiliated companies to Whitewater.
  ``Courageously, Kansas City investigators have sought whistleblower 
protection rather than comply with the Washington RTC gag order that no 
one form Kansas City could speak with Special Counsel Fiske without 
clearance through and accompaniment of Washington RTC officials.
  ``The briefing of the White House by high ranking Department of 
Treasury and RTC employees must be understood in the context of the 
development and transmittal to the Justice Department of these 
referrals and in the context of the possibility Kansas City was in the 
process of developing further referrals.
  ``There are many elements of the Whitewater affair that are a bit 
esoteric. But the revelations that U.S. Government officials briefed 
key White House aides on potential legal actions which independent 
regulatory agencies might be obligated to take implicating but not 
charging the President and First Lady subvert one of the fundamental 
premises of American democracy--that this is a country of laws and not 
men.
  ``In America no individual, whatever his or her rank, is privileged 
in the eyes of the law. No public official has the right to influence 
possible legal actions against him or herself. For this reason agencies 
of the Government as well as the White House have precise rules that 
govern their employees.
  ``The following standards--31 CFR Sec. 0.735-30--apply to the 
Department of Treasury:

       An employee should avoid any action . . . which might 
     result in, or create the appearance of . . .
       (2) Giving preferential treatment to any person; . . .
       (4) Losing complete independence or impartiality;
       (5) Making a Government decision outside official channels; 
     or
       (6) Affecting adversely the confidence of the public in the 
     integrity of the Government.

  ``Similarly, the following standards contained in 12 CFR Sec. 1605.7 
apply to RTC employees:

       No employees shall engage in any action, which might result 
     in, or create the appearance of . . .
       (b) giving preferential treatment to any person; . . .
       (d) losing complete independence or impartiality;
       (e) making an RTC decision outside official channels; or,
       (f) adversely affecting the public's confidence in the 
     integrity of the RTC.

  ``Likewise, the following standards apply to the White House--3 CFR 
Sec. 100.735-4:

       In all circumstances employees shall conduct themselves so 
     as to exemplify the highest standards of integrity. An 
     employee shall avoid any action, whether or not specifically 
     prohibited by this subpart, which might result in, or create 
     the appearance of:
       (1) Using public office for private gain;
       (2) Giving preferential treatment to any person; . . .
       (4) Losing complete independence or impartiality;
       (5) Making a Government decision outside official channels; 
     or
       (6) Affecting adversely the confidence of the public in the 
     integrity of the Government.

  ``Perhaps laws have not been broken, but seldom have the public and 
private ethics of professionals in the White House and executive 
departments and branch agencies been so thoroughly devalued.
  ``The point of all this is that there is a disjunction in this 
administration between public policy and private ethics. Americans 
abhor privilege; hypocrisy gnaws at the American soul; it leaves a 
dispiriting residue of resentment.
  ``What is also extraordinary is the absence of simple truth.
  ``Administration claim: Whitewater caused no losses to Madison.
  ``Fact: As reflected in the minority-developed charts and evidenced 
by supporting documentation, Madison and affiliated companies 
transferred significant resources to Whitewater. In addition to being a 
modest-sized real estate company, with a cash flow derived from land 
sales, Whitewater appears to be one of a dozen so companies with direct 
or indirect access to Madison and its taxpayer guaranteed deposits.
  ``Administration claim: The Clintons lost money in Whitewater.
  ``Fact: To have lost in Whitewater implies that the Clintons invested 
sums which were unrecovered. Their Whitewater partner, James McDougal,

[[Page 376]]

claims at most the Clintons over the years put in $13,500 in 
Whitewater. The minority has provided evidence that one land 
transaction alone returned more than this amount to the Clintons and 
published reports indicate tax deductions of some value were taken. The 
Lyons report, as well as a review of land sales, indicates substantial 
sums were taken out of Whitewater over the years. It is not clear how 
disbursements were arranged. What is clear is that infusions of capital 
from land sales, from Madison-affiliated entities and possibly from 
others appear to have covered loans the company and the Clintons took 
out. The company may have had a negative value when the Clintons sold 
their half interest in 1992, but that neither means the Clintons 
themselves lost money, nor that questions ought not be asked about how 
direct or contingent liabilities may have been disposed of as late as 
1992.
  ``Administration claim: The President and his staff would fully 
cooperate with Congress.
  ``Fact: The executive branch is actively working to prevent full 
disclosure of documents and committee access to witnesses.
  ``Administration claim: It has done nothing wrong in relation to the 
RTC investigation into the failure of Madison and is fully cooperating 
with Special Counsel Fiske's probe.
  ``Fact: Officials of an independent regulatory agency--the RTC--
immediately notified the White House of the probe of Madison by its 
Kansas City office and attempted to put in place procedural techniques 
to undercut the traditional independence of its regional offices.
  ``Fact: In January 1994, RTC Washington met with Kansas City staff. 
After the meeting the Kansas City office filed a formal complaint with 
Washington RTC.
  ``Fact: On February 2, 1994, the day Roger Altman briefed the White 
House on Madison Guaranty, RTC senior attorney, April Breslaw visited 
the Kansas City office and said that Washington would like to say that 
Whitewater caused no losses to Madison. Kansas City employees protested 
that this was not the case.
  ``Fact: On September 29, 1993, before the new criminal referrals were 
sent to the Justice Department, Treasury General Counsel Jean Hanson 
briefed White House Counsel on them. Nine days after the meeting, the 
referrals were sent to the Justice Department. On October 14, Jean 
Hanson with Secretary Bentsen's press secretary and chief of staff met 
with Presidential advisors ostensibly to discuss press inquiries 
related to Madison Guaranty.
  ``Fact: On February 2, right after the appointment of Special Counsel 
Robert Fiske, Roger Altman gave the White House a heads-up briefing on 
Madison. At the Senate oversight board hearing, Roger Altman revealed 
his February 2 meeting, but no others. Several days later, the 
September and October White House briefings were revealed. On March 9, 
the Washington Post reported that there were numerous other contacts 
between the Treasury and the White House on Madison. After subpoenas 
are issued it is revealed that there are over 3,500 pages of 
documentation surrounding these contacts which the White House terms as 
inconsequential.

  ``Fact: After the appointment of Special Counsel Fiske, Washington 
RTC officials imposed censorship guidelines on Kansas City RTC 
employees. No discussion with Fiske could be made without going through 
Washington. No meetings between Kansas City office and Fiske could take 
place without accompaniment of Washington officials. No materials could 
be forwarded without going through Washington. All information 
concerning attorney-client privilege was to be redacted, with 
Washington RTC determining the scope.
  ``Administration claim: No fundraising improprieties occurred.
  ``Fact: On April 4, 1985, Jim McDougal hosted a fundraiser for 
Governor Clinton. The Clinton's repeatedly asked McDougal to host the 
fundraiser to pay off the $50,000 personal loan that Clinton had taken 
out in the final weeks of his 1984 campaign. The question at issue is 
whether some of the money appears to have been diverted from Madison 
Guaranty, which would then, with the failure of Madison, imply deferred 
Federal financing of a gubernatorial election. For example, one 
cashier's check for $3,000 was made in the name of Charles Peacock III, 
then a 24-year-old college student who disclaims any knowledge of 
having made a contribution. Mr. Peacock's father was a major Madison 
borrower and served at one time on Madison's board. Other checks that 
the RTC is reviewing include a $3,000 check from the late Dean Landrum, 
an employee of Charles Peacock, and one from Susan McDougal. In the 
former Governor's defense, candidates are not always in a position to 
verify their campaign contributions.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the President's former partner, Jim McDougal, in a 
number of occasions has contested the assertion that no resources were 
taken from Madison Guaranty and its related entities and given to 
Whitewater. In an AP story on February 4, 1994, and on the `David 
Brinkley Show' on March 13, 1994, he specifically raised concerns that 
Madison Marketing was not owned by Madison Guaranty, but was instead a 
sole proprietorship owned by his former wife. He has cited documents 
filed with the Arkansas secretary of state's office to buttress his 
claim.
  ``Mr. McDougal apparently believes there are subtleties about the 
nature of Madison Marketing that need clarification. Mr. McDougal gives 
great credence to the circumstance that at some point Madison Marketing 
may have been operating as an intended proprietorship of his wife, but, 
whether this is true, this appears to be a distinction without a 
difference, form over substance. The overwhelming perspective as 
contained in the 1986 Federal Home Loan Bank Board Report of 
Examination is that all Madison Marketing resources were derived from 
Madison Guaranty or its subsidiaries. Any money transferred to 
Whitewater from Madison Marketing would thus have had as its source the 
S&L. The 1986 FHLBB exam, upon which the earlier staff memo on this 
subject was based, states:

       A. Objectionable Conflicts of Interest: Conflicts of 
     interest involving James McDougal, Susan McDougal, and 
     William Henley have been detrimental to the safety and 
     soundness of the Institution. These individuals are in 
     control of the Institution (Madison Guaranty) through their 
     stock ownership. James McDougal owns 63.5 percent of the 
     outstanding Madison shares. His wife, Susan McDougal, owns 
     12.6 percent, and her brother, William Henley owns 8.5 
     percent. In addition to his ownership control, Mr. McDougal, 
     as President of the Institution's subsidiary (Madison 
     Financial), has complete control of the land development 
     projects discussed in comment.
       B. This control enabled Mr. McDougal to structure the 
     development and financing of the projects so that substantial 
     cash payments could be diverted to himself, Susan McDougal, 
     William Henley and others. These payments have directly 
     benefited these individuals, but Madison Guaranty has 
     received little or nothing in return. Though they have been 
     structured to avoid specific Insurance Regulations, these 
     payments are contrary to the general policy of the FHLBB 
     concerning conflicts of interest as stated in Insurance 
     Regulation 571.9 and FHLBB Memorandum R-19a.
       Many of these payments have been funneled through business 
     entities which are owned or controlled by the McDougals, 
     employees, relatives of employees, or close friends of the 
     McDougals and Henley.
       Madison Marketing: Madison Marketing is paid for doing all 
     the general advertising for Madison Guaranty and most of the 
     advertising for Madison Financial's land development 
     projects. All of Madison Marketing's business is derived from 
     Madison Guaranty or its subsidiaries. Since 1983 these 
     payments total $1,532,000.
       Given the evidence of Madison Marketing's invoices, it is 
     questionable how much of these advertising services are 
     actually performed by the firm. The actual work of 
     advertising, such as the design and production of commercials 
     and providing air time or newspaper space, appears to be 
     performed by others. Madison Marketing apparently just pays 
     the bills of other providers and adds a 15 percent fee of its 
     own. Examiners estimated this fee to be approximately 
     $200,000 since 1983. It would appear that Madison Guaranty 
     could have an employee perform similar work for much less 
     money.
       Mr. Latham stated that Madison Marketing made no payments 
     to any stockholders. This statement is false. As a part of a 
     test for such payments, the examiners discovered two 
     remittances from Madison Marketing to Susan McDougal which 
     total $50,000. This was a test, and there may be additional 
     payments.

  ``Mr. McDougal apparently believes Madison Marketing should be 
understood simply as a sole proprietorship of his wife with no ties to 
the S&L. This view is in discordance with that of the U.S. Government, 
as indicated by the FHLBB report cited above; it is also in discordance 
with a contemporaneous view of the legal situation as defined

[[Page 377]]

and described by Mr. McDougal in a July 1, 1986, memorandum from him to 
Madison guaranty's president, Mr. John Latham. In this memorandum, 
which is a copy of an original Madison document in the possession of 
the RTC and the minority of the House Banking Committee, Mr. McDougal 
asserts:

       In late January 1985, Mrs. McDougal permitted Madison 
     Marketing to become a subsidiary of Madison Financial 
     Corporation.

  ``In addition, Mr. Jeff Gerth of the New York Times has reported on 
March 8, 1992, an earlier instance in which Madison Marketing 
transferred resources to Whitewater. Mr. Gerth reported:

       Whitewater's check ledger shows that Whitewater's account 
     at Madison was overdrawn in 1984, when the corporation was 
     making payments on the Clinton's loan. Money was deposited to 
     make up the shortage from Madison Marketing, an affiliate of 
     the savings and loan that derived its revenues from the 
     institution, records also show.

  ``In addition, David Hale and his attorney Randy Coleman have 
asserted in recent days that it was proceeds of an $825,000 Madison 
loan that was used to leverage SBA funds and to make the $300,000 loan 
to Susan McDougal, of which $110,000 was deposited to Whitewater.
  ``This evidentiary material coupled with the April 17, 1985, minutes 
of Madison Financial's board authorizing a transfer of $30,000 
from Madison Financial to Whitewater, the memo of L. Jean Lewis of the 
Kansas City RTC office showing over a 6-month period reviewed that 
approximately $70,000 was transferred from Madison or affiliated 
entities to Whitewater, plus other more confidential RTC material in 
our possession indicates there is every credible reason to believe that 
Madison Guaranty through affiliated entities did transfer money to 
Whitewater.

  ``Furthermore, records filed with the Arkansas Secretary of State's 
office show that Mr. McDougal, as president of Madison Financial 
Corp.--a subsidiary of Madison Guaranty--on July 26, 1986, filed an 
application for registration of fictitious name. The application was 
for Madison Financial to do business as Madison Marketing. This 
document does not represent incorporation papers. This application 
appears to be in response to the 1986 Federal Home Loan Bank exam which 
noted that with regard to Madison Marketing and Madison Real Estate, 
Madison Financial had not registered as a ``doing business as'' in the 
county records.
  ``The effect of this statement with its supporting documentation is 
to evidence that:
  ``First, Whitewater may have begun as a legitimate real estate 
venture but it came to be used to skim, directly or indirectly, 
federally insured deposits from an S&L and a Small Business Investment 
Corporation. When each failed, the U.S. taxpayer became obligated to 
pick up the tab;
  ``Second, the family of the former Governor of Arkansas received 
value from Whitewater in excess of resources invested;
  ``Third, taxpayer guaranteed funds were in all likelihood used to 
benefit the campaign of a former Governor;
  ``Fourth, the independence of the U.S. Government's regulatory system 
has been flagrantly violated in an effort to protect a single American 
citizen; and
  ``Fifth, Congress and the Executive are employing closed society 
techniques to resist full disclosure of an embarrassing circumstance, 
with unfortunate precedent setting ramifications.
  ``Last month a BBC reporter asked me if we Americans weren't making 
too much of this scandal. He raised a fair question. Compared with 
petty potentates around the world, who routinely walk off with millions 
and in some cases billions, conflicts of interest in American politics 
are of petty variety. In this case, however, we have a situation where 
a multithousand-dollar conflicts of interest led to a multimillion-
dollar hit on the taxpayer. That is the meaning to the failure of 
Madison Guaranty. That is also the meaning of the Small Business 
Investment Corporation called Capitol.
  ``It is simply not appropriate to shrug it off and say that this is 
the way things are done in small States. They aren't in Nebraska, South 
Dakota, or Iowa. It is simply not appropriate to say it isn't a Federal 
issue. It is. The U.S. taxpayer has lost millions; homeowners in 
Arkansas have lost institutions that were established to serve their 
needs; minorities throughout the country cannot lightly shrug off yet 
another instance in which a program designed to give them a crack at 
the American dream was redirected to serve the investment ego a State 
political establishment.
  ``It is suggested by the majority that we have better things to do 
around here. There again is some truth to this. The minority also wants 
to get on with the business of health care, welfare reform, crime 
legislation. Indeed, we pledge to be constructive and are not blocking 
any congressional consideration of these issues. But, in a larger 
sense, it should be understood that these--we have better things to 
do--laments suggest that ethics, governmental integrity, and the 
possible misuse of the public's money should be secondary 
considerations--something to worry about only when we have time. In a 
democratic system, built and maintained on the confidence of the 
people, placing such considerations last on the list of priorities is a 
highly dubious game. Nothing works over the long haul if the public 
loses confidence in its governmental institutions and the people who 
operate those institutions. The task of keeping the people's confidence 
may not be pretty or pleasant, but it is a first priority in our 
system--not a last priority as all too many are suggesting today.
  ``Whitewater is less about the issues of the day than it is the 
ethics of our time. It is a central issue not because 
it is big, but precisely because it is small.
  ``The way we in America keep our scandals from becoming too big is by 
holding people accountable when the amounts of money at issue are 
relatively small. It is the principles at issue, not the dollar amounts 
that matter.
  ``In conclusion, let me stress that the most difficult issue to deal 
with is the question of proportionality. When the minority made its 
restrained request for hearings last November, I suggested that while 
there was fire with the smoke, Whitewater appeared to be more a camp 
than forest fire. I now believe the fire has spread to the grass and is 
heading to the trees but that it is still not too late to put it out 
with full disclosure and full accountability. In this regard, I 
suggested in a December, Washington Post editorial that when breaches 
of law or public ethics occur, options often exist as to whether civil 
or criminal remedies are appropriate. I presumptuously concluded then 
and maintain now that there is no reason not to proceed with civil 
accountability in a civil way. The last thing this country needs is a 
year long trial or travail for the President of the United States. It 
would divide the country and be unfair to the public as well as the 
President.
  ``Accordingly, I have pledged to the President's counsel as well as 
to the special counsel that I will do my best to put the issue behind 
once disclosure is provided. Accountability is in order; a 
constitutional crisis is not. The Presidency should neither be 
jeopardized nor debilitated. Rather than high crimes and misdemeanors, 
the issue today relates to high improprieties and breaches of the 
public trust.''.

Notes From the Conversation Between RTC Senior Criminal Investigator L. 
 Jean Lewis and FDIC Attorney April Breslaw on February 2, 1994, From 
                Approximately 3:50 p.m. Until 4:35 p.m.

       April stated that ``the people at the top'' keep getting 
     asked about Whitewater, which seems to have become a catch 
     all phrase for Madison and it's related investigations. She 
     said that eventually ``this group'' is going to have to make 
     a statement about whether or not Whitewater caused a loss to 
     Madison, but the fact that Whitewater had no loan at Madison 
     provided less potential for a loss. April stated very clearly 
     that Ryan and Kulka (?), the ``head people'', would like to 
     be able to say that Whitewater did not cause a loss to 
     Madison, but the problem is that so far no one has been able 
     to say that to them. She felt like they wanted to be able to 
     provide an ``honest answer'', but that there were certain 
     answers that they would be ``happier about, because it would 
     get them off the hook.''
       April felt that it would have been difficult to determine 
     exactly what happened with the Whitewater account, because so 
     many checks had gone in and out of the account, and made a 
     reference to the end resulting netting itself out. She asked 
     about Greg Young's work papers on the Maple Creek Farms 
     reserve for development analysis, and how it didn't seem to 
     have any apparent tie to Whitewater. I concurred that it 
     didn't have any legitimately defined tie, which is precisely 
     why it was included in the referral.
       She inquired about the $30,000 check to Jim McDougal from 
     Whitewater in 5/85, and about the disposition of the funds. I 
     explained the transaction as I know it: the $30,000 had been 
     converted to a MGS&L cashier's check, which was subsequently 
     endorsed by ?????? and deposited to Riggs National Bank. I 
     explained that when the check was force paid, the Whitewater 
     account was overdrawn by over $28,000 which was then 
     subsequently covered by the payment of a $30,000 bonus from 
     MFC to Jim McDougal, deposited directly to Whitewater on 
     McDougal's orders.
       She asked how we could get to a clear cut answer as to 
     whether or not Whitewater caused a loss to Madison. I stated 
     that, as far as I am concerned, there is a clear cut loss. I 
     also stated that any attempt to extract Whitewater as one 
     entity from the rest of the McDougal controlled entities 
     involved in the alleged check kite will distort the entire 
     picture. I further pointed out that I would produce the 
     answers that were available, but that I would not facilitate 
     providing ``the people at the top'' with the ``politically 
     correct answers just to get them off the hook''.
       She asked questions about the specifics of the checks going 
     through the Whitewater account. I stated that it appeared 
     that the majority of the checks written out of the Whitewater 
     account during the window time frame were going to other 
     financial institutions to make loan payments. I also said 
     that the referral focused only on a short time frame, but 
     that if that same research were conducted for a two year 
     period, it was my belief that the losses to Madison from the 
     Whitewater account alone would easily exceed $100,000, given 
     that $80,000 had gone out of the account during the six month 
     window time frame. I further added that the end loss result 
     from the entire scam, using all 12 companies/entities, would 
     be hundreds of thousands of dollars in what were essentially 
     unauthorized loans.
       I stated that if she wanted me to tell her, unequivocally, 
     that Whitewater didn't cause a loss, I could not do that. I 
     could only reiterate the allegations contained in the 
     referral, which are based on fact, and that it is my opinion 
     and belief that Whitewater did,

[[Page 379]]

     in fact, cause a loss to Madison because of the amount of the 
     unauthorized loans that McDougal made, through the check 
     kite, to entities in which he was a primary party and 
     beneficiary. I also pointed out that this ultimately 
     benefited his business partners--the same business partners 
     that knew they had real estate ventures that were not cash 
     flowing, but that also knew their mortgages and/or notes were 
     somehow being paid. I pointed out that these business 
     partners are intelligent individuals, the majority of them 
     being attorneys, who must have concluded that McDougal was 
     making the payments for their benefit. I posed the question 
     to her, if you know that your mortgages are being paid, but 
     you aren't putting money into the venture, and you also know 
     the venture isn't cash flowing, wouldn't you question the 
     source of the funds being used to your benefit? Would you 
     just assume that your partner was making these multi-thousand 
     dollar payments out of the goodness of his heart? Wouldn't 
     you wonder even more if you knew that your business partner's 
     main source of income, and S&L, was in serious financial 
     difficulty, which by 1985 was fairly common knowledge?
       We discussed the initiation of the MGSL investigation, and 
     how evidence of the check kite came to light. I explained 
     that after reviewing a series of checks, all of which noted 
     ``loan'' in the memo field, I discerned a pattern that looked 
     like a check kite, and proceeded to trace funds through the 
     various accounts, which is a standard investigations 
     procedures. The end result was the referral alleging a 
     massive check kite. I also advised April that I had been told 
     by both the U.S. Attorney's office (Mac Dodson), and the FBI 
     (Steve Irons) that this was a highly prosecutable case of 
     check kiting. I also told her that I disputed the declination 
     of that referral on the basis of ``insufficient 
     information''. She commented that ``that's what Grand Juries 
     are for'', and I pointed out that it generally seemed to be 
     the policy of the U.S. Attorney to agree to open a case 
     before they would start Grand Jury proceedings. I also noted 
     that I found the treatment of that particular referral by the 
     Justice Department to be highly unusual. This concluded our 
     discussion.

               Minutes of Meeting Madison Financial Corp.

       The Board of Directors of Madison Financial Corporation met 
     on April 17, 1985, at 1:00 p.m. at the offices of Madison 
     Financial Corporation at 16th and Main Streets, Little Rock, 
     Arkansas. All directors were present. The minutes of the 
     previous meeting were read and approved as recorded.
       The first order of business, introduced by John Latham, was 
     the matter of authorizing prepayment of Jim McDougal's bonus. 
     After a full discussion, the following resolution was

     voting:
       ``Resolved, that the Corporation pre-pay to Jim McDougal 
     $30,000.00 of his annual bonus in recognition of the profits 
     of the prior year, and that said bonus is to be paid directly

              Criminal Investigative Chronology of Events


                          march 9 to 23, 1992

       Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan ("MGSL") and it's alleged 
     ties to Whitewater Development Corporation (``Whitewater'') 
     and Bill & Hillary Clinton were reported in a 3/8/92 New York 
     Times article by Jeff Gerth. MGSL owner and board chairman, 
     James B. McDougal, had been previously tried and acquitted on 
     bank fraud charges in 6/90.
       Inquiries regarding these ties emanated from both RTC 
     Investigations in Washington, D.C., and the former Director 
     of the Tulsa Consolidated Office. The Washington inquiry went 
     through the Kansas City Regional Investigations Office to the 
     Tulsa Consolidated Investigations office, who was responsible 
     for investigating failed Arkansas thrifts. The question was 
     raised as to whether Whitewater's relationship with MGSL had 
     been reviewed, and were there any resulting losses or 
     potential criminal activity documented. As a result of this 
     inquiry, the Tulsa office criminal investigator assigned to 
     the Arkansas thrifts was asked to work with the civil 
     investigator in reviewing the completed investigative 
     findings to date. Over a two week period, the criminal 
     investigator reviewed all thrift records obtained from the 
     institution at the time of conservatorship which were stored 
     in the Tulsa office. These records included the available 
     Board Minutes, committee and subsidiary minutes, Fidelity 
     Bond policies, FHLB exams from prior years, outside audits, 
     legal correspondence files and various limited loan files. No 
     mention was found of any Whitewater relationship with MGSL.


                       march 25 to April 15, 1992

       During this time frame, Tulsa Investigations learned that a 
     former MGSL employee, subsequently (and still) an attorney in 
     the employment of a Little Rock law firm handling extensive 
     litigation in Arkansas for the TRC, had allegedly fabricated 
     at least two years of minutes for an MGSL subsidiary, Madison 
     Financial Corporation (``MFC''). The criminal investigator 
     was asked to review daily records created by the former 
     employee, who was at that time the executive assistant to 
     former MGSL president, John Latham. Latham pled guilty to one 
     charge of bank fraud in 1989. Copies of the former employee's 
     records had been shipped to Tulsa, where it would be 
     determined if further investigation was appropriate. An 
     affirmative decision was reached during the first week of 4/
     92. While this review was being conducted, the civil 
     investigator was reviewing additional Madison records stored 
     in Little Rock under the control of the post-receivership 
     assuming bank, Central Bank & Trust(``CB&T''). These records, 
     which had never been inventoried by either MGSL or CB&T, were 
     stored in a downtown Little Rock warehouse, and included, but 
     were not limited to, former officer correspondence, legal 
     files, subsidiary land development and investment files, 
     microfilm, demand deposit (checking) account records/binders, 
     cancelled checks, etc.
       Based on the findings of these concurrent criminal and 
     civil investigative reviews, the decision was made that both 
     investigators should travel to Little Rock for a more 
     extensive review of the warehoused documents. At this point, 
     the criminal investigation, which had been previously 
     scheduled for late 1992, was rescheduled to 4/92.


                          april 20 to 24, 1992

       The investigators conducted an extensive review of the 
     warehoused records, and the criminal investigator talked with 
     the FBI and U.S. Attorney's office regarding the 1990 trial 
     of former MGSL owner James B. McDougal. The criminal 
     investigator learned that the FBI was previously aware of the 
     fabricated subsidiary minutes and had taken no criminal 
     action. Tulsa Investigations management was advised 
     accordingly and that aspect of the review was suspended.
       The warehoused records revealed additional Whitewater 
     checking account statements, raising further questions about 
     the payee's on some of Whitewater's checks. A number of 
     documents belonging to the former Chief Financial Officer of 
     MGSL/MFC were located. Among these documents were several 
     accountant/ledger worksheets on numerous MFC subsidiary land 
     ``developments'', all of which were heavily subsidized by 
     MGSL. Included in one of the development worksheets marked 
     ``Maple Creek Farms'' was an item denoting a $30,000 charge 
     to Whitewater for the cost of an engineering survey; this was 
     the first indication of a relationship between MGSL and/or 
     MFC and Whitewater beyond the existence of the Whitewater 
     checking account. Original microfilm, along with pertinent 
     original documents from the warehouse, were sent back to 
     Tulsa for further investigation. Research was conducted on 
     twelve McDougal and/or McDougal business partner controlled 
     accounts, including Whitewater. Check copies were produced 
     for a two year period between 6/84 and 6/86; a standard 
     investigative procedure when tracing the flow of funds.


                         may 1 to july 15, 1992

       During the first week of 5/92, all Tulsa Consolidated 
     Office employees were advised that the Tulsa office would be 
     permanently closing at the end of 7/92. All Tulsa 
     Investigations records were shipped to the Kansas City 
     Office, thus putting the Madison investigation on hold. The 
     copy process on the McDougal and/or McDougal business partner 
     controlled accounts was suspended as well, due to equipment 
     and records relocation.


                     august 1 to september 2, 1992

       The criminal investigator transferred to the Kansas City 
     office at the end of 7/92, resuming the analysis of Madison 
     documents and checks. A criminal referral (#C0004) was 
     subsequently generated alleging a $1.5 million check kiting 
     scheme between the McDougal and/or McDougal business partners 
     controlled entities, including Whitewater. This referral was 
     submitted to the FBI and U.S. Attorney, Eastern District of 
     Arkansas on 9/2/92.


                    september 3 to december 15, 1992

       Having submitted the initial referral on MGSL, the criminal 
     investigator redirected priorities to the ongoing 
     investigations of three other failed thrifts, which were 
     intensifying. First Federal Savings, Paragould,

[[Page 380]]

     Arkansas, which was reaching suspect plea negotiations, First 
     America Savings, Ft. Smith, Arkansas, which had been referred 
     from jurisdiction in the Western District of Arkansas to the 
     Dallas Fraud Task Force, and Cimmaron Federal Savings, 
     Muskogee, Oklahoma, for which investigations had received an 
     allegation of potential fraud from the managing agent. 
     Throughout these investigations, the criminal investigator 
     continued to request and monitor a response on MSGL referral 
     #C0004.


                  december 15, 1992, to March 14, 1993

       The U.S. Attorney's office did not offer any standard 
     response to the MGSL referral, advising either that a case 
     would be opened or that prosecution would be declined, for 
     three months. In response to numerous calls from the criminal 
     investigator during that time, the Little Rock FBI Special 
     Agent in Charge sent a letter of acknowledgement to the RTC 
     stating that both the FBI and U.S. Attorney had received the 
     referral and exhibits. The investigator continued to work on 
     the aforementioned institutions while continuing to monitor a 
     potential response on the MGSL referral.


                        march 15 to may 4, 1993

       The criminal investigator initiated a preliminary review of 
     criminal activity at Savers Savings, Little Rock, Arkansas, 
     out of which a former borrower had been convicted and 
     sentenced in conjunction with a failed Texas S&L. This review 
     involved extensive interviews with the borrower, and a review 
     of his personal and corporate records prior to his sentencing 
     and incarceration in late 4/93. The investigator continued to 
     make verbal requests for a written response from the FBI or 
     U.S. Attorney on MGSL referral C0004.


                           may 4 to 25, 1993

       On 5/4/93, the criminal investigator sent a letter to the 
     U.S. Attorney inquiring about the status of the referral. The 
     response from the U.S. Attorney referred the investigator to 
     the U.S. Justice Department in Washington D.C. The criminal 
     investigator initiated a series of calls to DOJ/Washington to 
     ascertain the status of the referral. Simultaneously, the 
     criminal investigator, criminal investigations department 
     head and the field investigations officer determined that the 
     most expedient way to complete the investigation of 
     previously defined criminal allegations at MGSL was to 
     supplement the investigative manpower.


                         may 31 to june 4, 1993

       Three additional criminal investigators were assigned the 
     task of reviewing loan transactions, checking accounts and 
     subsidiary lending transactions to ascertain the level of 
     criminal activity at both MGSL and MFC. The lead 
     investigator, along with another task assigned investigator, 
     returned to the Little Rock warehouse for further document 
     review. The investigators additionally travelled to four 
     other counties to review land records pertaining to property 
     sales, loan and mortgages reflected in the County Clerk's 
     offices. Those findings were shared with the other assigned 
     investigators.


                       june 5 to october 8, 1993

       The four investigators reviewed and analyzed all available 
     MGSL transactional information for the ensuing 120 days. As a 
     result, nine additional criminal referrals involving multiple 
     MGSL and MFC transactions were generated and submitted to the 
     U.S. Attorney and FBI on 10/8/93.


                            october 17, 1993

       The lead criminal investigator received a letter from the 
     new U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Paula 
     J. Casey. The letter stated that referral #C0004, submitted 
     9/2/92, had been declined due to ``insufficient 
     information''.


                  november 1, 1993 to January 24, 1994

       RTC Criminal investigations continues to support the 
     investigative efforts of the FBI and U.S. Attorney by 
     providing MGSL and MFC documents warehoused in Kansas City, 
     and offering assistance with ongoing subpoena compliance.
       The responsibility for investigation of all failed Arkansas 
     thrifts was assumed by the Tulsa RTC Office of Investigations 
     during the first quarter of 1991. Responsibility was assumed 
     from the Eagan/Minneapolis RTC Office of Investigations; the 
     lead Eagan investigator for Madison Guaranty Savings, Little 
     Rock, Arkansas at that time was Mike Hammerly.
       When the Tulsa office assumed this responsibility, Madison 
     Guaranty was assigned to civil Investigator Wyatt Adams. 
     Shortly after the reassignment of the Arkansas thrifts, 
     several members of the Tulsa Office of Investigations made a 
     sweep through the failed Arkansas shops and appropriated all 
     the records deemed necessary for the effective completion of 
     both civil and criminal investigations.
       In mid summer 1991, Investigator Wyatt Adams traveled to 
     Little Rock to review Madison Guaranty records held by the 
     acquiring entity, Central Bank and Trust, in an old, non-
     climate controlled building downtown on the river, which had 
     been converted to a ``records storage'' facility. According 
     to Adams, when he arrived there were extensive records in 
     poor condition, haphazardly heaped into the storage space on 
     the second floor, which was poorly lit and protected by a 
     chain link fence and a padlock. Boxes were on their sides 
     with records dumped out, DDA binders were poorly stacked in 
     one corner, and multiple boxes had been shoved into shelving, 
     with no identifiable inventory. It should be noted that these 
     records were already in the warehouse at the time of the 
     Investigations team Spring 1991 ``sweep'' through the 
     Arkansas thrifts, and that the former Managing Agent concurs 
     that, to his knowledge, there was no inventory of these 
     records.
       In July 1991, the criminal investigation of Madison 
     Guaranty was assigned to Investigator Jean Lewis. A follow-up 
     criminal investigation was tentatively slated to begin during 
     the third quarter of 1992, due to the fact that former thrift 
     owner James B. McDougal had previously been tried on Bank 
     Fraud charges stemming from Madison Guaranty, and was 
     acquitted in 1990. The follow-up investigation was intended 
     to ensure that any remaining potential criminal matters had 
     been properly reviewed and addressed.
       In March 1992, Senior Investigator Specialist Jon Walker 
     contacted the Kansas City regional RTC office regarding an 
     article that has appeared in the New York Times stating 
     possible ties between Whitewater Development, Madison 
     Guaranty Savings and Loan, and Bill & Hillary Clinton. 
     Personnel in the KC regional office then contacted the Tulsa 
     office with a request that this issue be reviewed to 
     determine if Investigations was aware of, had reviewed and/or 
     appropriately addressed matters pertaining to the possible 
     relationship between Whitewater Development and Madison 
     Guaranty.
       After a review of all available Tulsa Investigations 
     inventory documents, Investigators Adams and Lewis were 
     detailed to the warehouse in Little Rock to review the 
     remaining Madison records and ensure that nothing had been 
     overlooked with regard to any potential action on this 
     matter. Investigator Lewis noted, with concurrence from 
     Adams, that upon arrival that the records were in very poor 
     condition, appeared to have been dumped and/or crammed into 
     the warehouse space, and that there was no available 
     inventory provided by Central Bank & Trust personnel which 
     could identify the nature of these records. Investigator 
     Adams noted that this was the same condition in which he'd 
     found the records in 1991. Boxes had to be rearranged in 
     order to establish work space and room for a table and two 
     chairs.
       During the review of these records, neither Investigator 
     Adams or Lewis located any loan files and loan records 
     relating specifically to Whitewater Development or the 
     Clintons. Investigator Adams then went through a number of 
     Demand Deposit Account binders, to ascertain if Whitewater 
     had maintained a checking account at Madison Guaranty. He 
     located an account and statements for 1984, 1985 and 1986. 
     Investigator Lewis reviewed multiple boxes of records, and 
     recovered several documents from former thrift officer files 
     that warranted further review. Among those documents was a 
     ledger sheet marked ``Reserve for Development--Maple Creek 
     Farms'' from the records of former Madison CFO Greg Young. On 
     that ledger sheet was noted a $30,000 development reserve 
     cost for an engineering survey charged to Whitewater 
     Development. There was also a limited amount of microfilm 
     located at the warehouse, which was appropriated under the 
     terms of the P&A Agreement and returned to Tulsa along with 
     several DDA binders, with permission from Central Bank & 
     Trust. A signed receipt containing an itemized list of the 
     documents taken by Investigators Adams and Lewis was left 
     with * * * of CB&T.
       Prior to departing Little Rock, Investigators Adams and 
     Lewis reviewed the Madison daily work film held by Central 
     Bank & Trust to research the flow of funds through the 
     Whitewater account as pulled from the monthly statements, 
     which is a standard operating procedure for Investigations. 
     Several checks payable to the Bank of Cherry Valley which 
     identified loan numbers, were identified and copied from the 
     daily work. Also copied were numerous checks payable to 
     entities entitled Pembroke Manor, Rolling Manor, Madison 
     Marketing and others, all of which were signed by James or 
     Susan McDougal, payable to Whitewater Development and 
     contained the notation ``loan'' in the memo filed on the 
     check. Accounts were located and reviewed for these other 
     identified entities; similar checks containing the ``loan'' 
     notation were found to have been paid between the entities. 
     At that time, both investigators concurred that additional 
     research would be appropriate, and requested all available 
     film relating to Madison Guaranty and returned it to Tulsa, 
     leaving a receipt for the film, binders and original 
     documents pulled from former office files with CB&T employee 
     Bonnie Crocheron. Copies of the entity statements and checks 
     were pulled and/or duplicated from film for the years 1984, 
     1985 and 1986. * * *
       After the original film was duplicated, the duplicates were 
     returned to Central Bank & Trust for their retention, and the 
     original film was retained in Tulsa by an RTC research 
     contractor. The criminal investigation of Madison then 
     continued, as the civil claims had previously been closed out 
     by PLS.
       In conjunction with the ongoing Madison investigation, 
     Kansas City Investigators Jean Lewis and Randy Knight 
     traveled to Little Rock in 5/93 to revisit the Madison 
     records held in the downtown warehouse. Upon arrival 
     Investigator Lewis immediately noted the condition of the 
     records was significantly more organized than it had been 
     during the previous visit, and it was evident that a number 
     of boxes had been cleared out.
       During this visit to the warehouse, Investigator Lewis 
     learned from the storage facility attendant that the law firm 
     of Mitchell,

[[Page 381]]

     Selig, Jackson, Tucker & White, former general counsel to 
     Madison Guaranty Savings, also stored records at the 
     warehouse.
       A number of the remaining boxes were reviewed, and the keys 
     returned to * * * at Central Bank & Trust. At that time, 
     Investigator Lewis noted to * * * that the warehouse seemed 
     to lack a number of boxes that had previously been there, and 
     * * * advised that some of the records had been retrieved and 
     were being held in a back room at the bank (CB&T). When asked 
     why this had not been disclosed when the keys had been picked 
     up rather than returned, Ms. Crocheron's response was ``you 
     didn't ask.''
       It should be noted that, according to the US Attorney's 
     staff in Little Rock, * * * to Madison and was summoned 
     before the Grand Jury for testimony. The outcome of that 
     investigation has never been disclosed to this office.
       In conjunction with the ongoing FBI investigation of the 
     RTC's referrals, Investigations advised the FBI that 
     additional original Madison Guaranty microfilm, along with 
     the records at the warehouse, were under the control of 
     Central Bank & Trust. It is the understanding of Kansas City 
     Office of Investigations that the aforementioned records have 
     now been subpoenaed by the U.S. Attorney's office and are now 
     under the control of the Little Rock FBI. The original 
     Madison film held by Investigators has also been turned over 
     to the FBI along with other records subject to Grand Jury 
     Subpoena.

     Re: Background remarks and conversation with AUSA Bob 
         Roddey's office re: Madison Guaranty Savings referral.

       In March 1993, shortly after the departure of former U.S. 
     Attorney Chuck Banks, I was advised by AUSA Bob Roddey on an 
     unofficial basis, that Banks had forwarded the ``Madison 
     referral'' to Justice in Washington D.C. almost immediately 
     after receiving it last September; Roddey also added that 
     Banks had taken this action as the referral was ``politically 
     hot''.
       I contracted Roddey's office early this afternoon to see if 
     AUSA Floyd Mac Dodson was still with the U.S. Attorney's 
     office, or if he had left with Chuck Banks. I was advised by 
     Roddey's secretary, Laura, that Dodson did, in fact, leave 
     with Chuck Banks, and she offered me their number, which I 
     declined. I asked her what would have happened to Dodson's 
     cases, and she offered to ``check the computer'' and call me 
     back, if I could give her a specific case, which I did, 
     identifying Madison Guaranty Savings criminal referral 
     #C0004.
       Approximately five minutes later, Laura called back and 
     advised me that no record of that referral showed up in their 
     computer system; she then advised me that in conversing with 
     AUSA Roddey, he told her that Banks had sent it to Justice in 
     Washington, and that ``we'd probably never hear about it 
     again''.
       A letter inquiring about the status of the referral has 
     been prepared to send to U.S.A. Pence later today.

     Re: Additional conversation with Office of Legal Counsel for 
         U.S. Attorney's, U.S. Justice Department, Washington, 
         D.C.

       In following up my previous discussion with the Office of 
     Legal Counsel on May 13, I contacted Dyone Mitchell 
     (secretary) of that office to see if she had been able to 
     determine the status of the Madison referral, as I had not 
     heard back from her. She consulted her notes and advised me 
     that they ``have no record of that referral, it is not in 
     their computer system, it has not been given to an 
     attorney''; upon repeating this response to her, she 
     reiterated ``no ma'am, that referral has not been submitted 
     to this office.''
       After advising Lee Ausen and Richard Iorio of this 
     conversation, the decision was made to resubmit the referral 
     through the U.S. Attorney's office in Little Rock, and 
     contact Ms. Mitchell in the Office of Legal Counsel to see if 
     that office should be copied on the referral and letter to 
     Richard Pence, U.S. Attorney in Little Rock. I contacted Ms. 
     Mitchell again to inquire as to whether that office should be 
     copied on the referral. She said yes, and when I asked to 
     whose attention it should be directed, she responded that it 
     should be sent to Acting Assistant Attorney General Daniel 
     Koffsky, as the Assistant Attorney General, Mr. Dellinger, 
     has not yet been confirmed.
       The letter of re-submission will be prepared this 
     afternoon, with a copy going to Mr. Koffsky's attention.

       In following up on the suggestion that Mr. Daniel Koffsky, 
     Acting Assistant Attorney General, be sent a copy of Madison 
     referral No. C0004, I contacted the Office of Legal Counsel 
     to verify the correct address. In speaking with Dyone 
     Mitchell of that office, I reiterated the address provided by 
     US Atty Richard Pence, which reads: Office of Legal Counsel, 
     Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Justice Department, 
     Washington, DC 20530.
       The letter provided the phone number (202) 514-2041.
       Ms. Mitchell advised that the Office of Legal Counsel and 
     the Executive Office for the U.S. Attorney's were two 
     separate sections, and that the referral may have been 
     forwarded to the Executive Office instead of legal Counsel. 
     She then connected me with the operator, who put me through 
     to the Executive Office where I spoke with Stephanie Kennedy. 
     I explained to Ms. Kennedy what I was looking for, and she 
     said she would get back to me this afternoon.
       She called me back at 3:30, and advised that she had 
     forwarded the matter on to Donna Henneman in ``Legal 
     Counsel'', who would check it out and call me back tomorrow. 
     I then contacted Ms. Henneman to offer background information 
     on what I was looking for. When I explained that it was a 
     referral out of Madison Guaranty, forwarded to that office by 
     Chuck Banks, she had immediate knowledge, stating ``oh, the 
     one involving the President and his wife''. She then stated 
     that the referral had been sent to that office (exactly which 
     office is till unclear to me) as a special report for the 
     attention of the Attorney General, and not as a referral for 
     prosecution. She then stated that ``anytime a referral comes 
     in that would make the department look bad, or has political 
     ramifications, it goes to the Attorney General.'' She further 
     added that the referral had been submitted to that office 
     ``because of the political ramifications and political 
     motivations'', and then told me that referrals were not 
     prosecuted out of that office. She then stated that the 
     referral had been declined. I advised her that the referral 
     had not been declined, and read her the letter sent to this 
     office by U.S. Attorney Richard Pence. She acknowledged that 
     she was confused, and told me she would speak with her 
     supervisor, Deborah Westbrook, and have her call me back 
     tomorrow. I then asked for Ms. Henneman's title, and she 
     informed me that she was the Ethics Program Manager. I 
     thanked her and ended the conversation.
       I'll keep you posted if and when I hear from Ms. Westbrook.

       I've just received a follow-up call from Donna Henneman at 
     Justice in D.C. She in- 

[[Page 382]]

     formed me that after speaking with Deputy Director/EO Wayne 
     Rich she learned that referral #C0004 had been sent to former 
     Special Counsel Ira Raphelson. I noted that Mr. Raphelson is 
     now in private practice, she concurred and said that she 
     wasn't sure where it had gone after he left, but that she was 
     going to call the ``criminal fraud division at Justice'' and 
     see if they are prosecuting the case or if a declination 
     letter has been issued. I restated that, to my knowledge, the 
     referral had not been declined, and that I had been advised 
     by an FBI agent in Little Rock that it was a ``very solid 
     case of check kiting, and was highly prosecutable.''
       I then identified the suspects named in the referral for 
     her reference, and she thanked me and told me she'd be back 
     in touch as soon as she found something. She also stated that 
     she was growing increasingly frustrated with the situation, 
     because she had seen the information, knew that it had come 
     in, and couldn't understand why she was having such a hard 
     time tracking where the referral and exhibits had gone.
       To date, each time she has given me a date that she would 
     call back, she has kept her word. I'll let you know when I 
     hear from her again.

       As we discussed this morning, I was going to contact Audrey 
     Word at DOJ in Washington this afternoon; however, before I 
     could call, Donna Henneman in the Executive Office for U.S. 
     Attorneys called me. It seems that Madison referral #C0004 
     has reappeared on her desk. Audrey Word was successful in 
     locating the referral within the Fraud section of the 
     Criminal Division and determined that the individual assigned 
     to the referral ``didn't want to deal with it'', so she sent 
     the referral and all pertinent info back to Donna Henneman 
     for further disposition.
       Donna advised me that the Criminal Division (no one 
     specifically identified) sent a memo to Doug Frazier, 
     Associate Deputy Attorney General (in Deputy Atty General 
     Heyman's office) advising him that there was ``no 
     identifiable basis for recusal of the U.S. Attorney in the 
     Eastern District of Arkansas''; this was a direct quote from 
     the memo, as she read it. She then told me that she'd 
     contacted Mr. Frazier who did not remember receiving the 
     memo, and suggested that she get the memo and the referral to 
     him for review and a final decision.
       She has subsequently sent him both the referral and the 
     memo, and said she'll keep me posted. I then advised her that 
     during the intervening period, additional information has 
     surfaced that would further support the allegations contained 
     in the referral, so I would be most curious as to their 
     decision. I then concluded the conversation by telling her 
     ``whatever the decision is, I need something in writing so 
     that I can close out the file with a declination, or offer 
     support for an ongoing case.'' She agreed and said she'd stay 
     in touch.
       I'll keep you posted.

       At approximately 3:00 this afternoon, I spoke with Donna 
     Henneman in the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, 
     regarding the status of the Madison referral #C0004. She 
     advised that she had sent the ``package'' to Associate Deputy 
     Attorney General Doug Frazier on June 8, as we had previously 
     discussed, but that she had received the entire package back 
     on her desk today with no further answers, as Mr. Frazier was 
     now the new U.S. Attorney in one of the Florida districts; 
     she had not determined whether Mr. Frazier had taken any 
     action prior to his departure, and had spoken with her 
     supervisor regarding her next action shortly before I 
     contacted her. She advised that she will attempt to contact 
     Mr. Frazier in Florida sometime tomorrow, and determine what 
     decision, if any, had been made.
       She then advised that ``this sort of thing happens all the 
     time when we're trying to get the guys upstairs to make a 
     decision.'' She said she'd be back in touch as soon as she 
     had an answer from Doug Frazier, or his replacement, a Mr. 
     Dave Margolis.
       This was the 8th conversation I've had with Ms. Henneman 
     since I first contacted her on May 19, 1993.

       Donna Henneman (EO/US Attorneys) just called me back to let

     referral to the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of 
     Little Rock, as there was ``no basis for the recusal of the 
     U.S. Attorney'', and apparently a lack of ``conflict of

       Ms. Henneman then added that she doubted whether or not the 
     U.S. Attorney, Eastern District/Arkansas would be aware of 
     this situation yet, but suggested that I wait a few days and 
     then contact that office in Little Rock.
       She asked to be kept posted on the outcome, and offered her 
     continued assistance whenever and however possible.

       I received a call this afternoon from a highly reliable and 
     confidential source, that the Madison referral (C0004) has 
     been returned to the U.S. Attorney's office in Little Rock, 
     Arkansas. My source has advised me that the acting U.S. 
     Attorney, Richard Pence, has stated he has no intention of 
     acting on this referral, and plans to let it sit until such 
     time as the new U.S. Attorney designee Paula Casey, takes 
     office on either an interim or permanent basis. It was stated 
     that there was displeasure at the fact that the referral had 
     been returned to the Little Rock office, and that the reason 
     cited for its' return was that the Executive Office for U.S. 
     Attorney's found no basis for recusal, and no conflict of 
     interest emanating from the U.S. Attorney's office in the 
     Eastern District. However, the acting U.S. Attorney is of the 
     opinion that if the (strong) case against James McDougal is 
     taken to trial, it will appear to the ``sour grapes'' due to 
     his acquittal during his first bank fraud trial.
       I was further advised that there is no definite date yet as 
     to when Ms. Casey's confirmation will occur, and that is 
     likely that she will assume her responsibilities on an 
     interim basis. My source has advised that I will get a 
     ``head's up'' call when Ms. Casey assumes her new 
     responsibilities, but that such appointments have been 
     delayed in the past, and may take a while.
       I'll keep you advised should I hear anything further.

       I've just had a conversation with Donna Henneman, Ethics 
     Program Manager, Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys. I 
     called Donna to make a final determination as to whether or 
     not she wants formal notification of the existence of the 
     subsequent referrals being submitted to the U.S. Attorney, 
     Eastern District of Little Rock, on Madison.
       In discussing the standard RTC procedure of the submission 
     of referrals, she has requested that she be copied on the 
     transmittal letters that go to the U.S. Attorney and FBI. At 
     the time she receives the copies of those letters, she will 
     then request the referrals and exhibits from the U.S. 
     Attorney's office for any necessary follow up. So, at her 
     request, I'll ask Donna Minton to cc: Ms. Henneman in her 
     official capacity. She felt that a letter requesting copies 
     at this point was unnecessary, and if it becomes necessary, 
     she will go through her channels at Justice to obtain the 
     documentation from U.S. Attorney Paula Casey. Donna has also 
     requested that I provide a brief one paragraph summary of the 
     content of the referrals with the transmittal letters, so 
     that she will be aware of those with ``sensitivity issues.'' 
     I will be glad to provide the requested summary as an 
     addendum paragraph to the bottom of each transmittal letter.
       She then asked me about the final disposition of MGS&L 
     referral C0004. I told her that I had been advised that it 
     was received back in the U.S. Attorney's office, but that I 
     had received no formal notification that a case had been 
     opened, nor a declination letter. I expressed my concerns 
     that the same situation could befall the next referrals to be 
     submitted, and she assured me that she and her supervisor, 
     Deb Westbrook, would stay closely in touch with the 
     situation, due its potentially political ramifications, some 
     of which I explained for her edification.
       She asked me to stay in touch as to the responses that I 
     get from the U.S. Attorney's office, and assured me that, if 
     necessary, the ``higher-ups'' at Justice would make sure 
     something got done with these referrals, including the first 
     one, which in her words ``should have been handled by now, 
     one way or the other.''
       I'll keep you posted.

       I've just received a call from Donna Henneman, Ethics

     Washington, D.C. She advised that she had spoken to her 
     supervisor, Deb Westbrook, and Ms. Westbrooks supervisor,

     wanted copies of the madison referrals slated for submission 
     this week. Ms. Westbrook and Mr. Frazier have determined that 
     the Executive office should receive copies of the referrals 
     and exhibits. Upon receipt, they will review them and 
     determine whether to instruct the U.S. Attorney's office to 
     act on them accordingly, or if they should be forwarded to 
     the Public Integrity Section of DOJ for further review. In 
     inquired as to the nature of the Public Integrity Section and 
     was advised that it is the section of DOJ responsible for the 
     prosecution of public officials. Ms. Henneman also advised 
     that they have made the decision to get the Deputy Attorney 
     General's office involved in this situation, and bring them 
     up to speed.
       I asked her to submit this request in writing, in order to

       To briefly summarize the situation to date, I contacted the

     written suggestion of U.S. Attorney Richard Pence, pursuant 
     to his letter of May 10, 1993 regarding

[[Page 383]]

     my written inquiry as to the final disposition of Madison 
     referral #C0004, submitted on 9/1/92. Mr. Pence advised that 
     the referral had been forwarded to the Executive Office by 
     former U.S. Attorney Charles A. Banks due to what he deemed 
     was a ``conflict of interest''. This information was relayed 
     to Ms. Henneman during my first conversation with her. During 
     subsequent calls I received from Ms. Henneman, she advised me 
     as to her progress in tracking the whereabouts of referral 
     #C0004, which she finally located and had forwarded back to 
     her office on June 8, 1993. At that time, Ms. Henneman 
     advised me that the decision had been made by personnel in 
     the Criminal Division of DOJ that there was ``no identifiable 
     basis for recusal of the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern 
     District of Arkansas'', and that the referral would be 
     forwarded back to the U.S. Attorney's office in Little Rock. 
     Since that time, Ms. Henneman has contacted me to follow up 
     on the final disposition of the referral. I have advised her 
     that this office has not yet received notification of an 
     opened case, or a letter declining prosecution. During these 
     aforementioned conversations, the issue was raised as to 
     further referrals, and whether the Executive Office should be 
     copied on any further referrals to avoid a recurrence of 
     circumstances. I received notification of that decision today 
     when Ms. Henneman contacted me, as previously outlined.
       Please let me know if you have any questions.

       Just FYI...
       Based on our conversation this afternoon regarding the 
     OCC's inability to locate their past exams for UNB/Little 
     Rock, I took a shot at a hunch, and made another call to 
     Cristina Flechas, the attorney for the FDIC in Memphis who 
     had previously advised me (in response to my written request 
     of 6/23) that OCC would have been the regulatory agency for 
     UNB during 1986.
       Cristina, so I have learned, is no longer with the FDIC in 
     Memphis. However, I spoke to her successor, Broderick 
     Nichols, and outlined the previous request with him, asking 
     him if he would do some additional followup just on the off 
     chance that the FDIC might have done a concurrent exam on UNB 
     with OCC at some point between 1983 and 1987. I then 
     explained to him that the OCC seemed to be having some 
     difficulty in locating their records, and advised him that I 
     was informed by OCC that prior to 1991, UNB was actually 
     First National Bank of Jacksonville. Well, it turns out that 
     Broderick Nichols is from Little Rock. What a small world! 
     And he evidently grew up knowing where Union National Plaza 
     is and that Union National Bank was, and still is, the 
     largest bank in Little Rock. He was somewhat concerned about 
     the fact that OCC couldn't find their exams, and has offered 
     his expeditious assistance in locating any concurrent exams 
     done by FDIC. He's also offered to aid me in locating other 
     potential leads and sources within OCC that might be able to 
     rediscover the whereabouts of the UNB exams. He couldn't 
     quite understand how the OCC could lose a $500 million bank. 
     Does this sound familiar?

     Date: Wednesday, October 27, 1993.

       Just got a call from Donna Henneman, Ethics Program 
     Manager, Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys. She asked if 
     I'd received a declination letter on the first referral 
     (C0004) from the U.S. Attorney in Little Rock. I told her 
     that we had not received a declination to date. She then 
     advised that her supervisor, Deb Westbrook, had evidently had 
     a conversation with U.S. Attorney Paula Casey, and that Ms. 
     Casey stated that she would be sending a declination letter 
     to the RTC on that particular referral. No date was given, 
     and Donna did not reference the date of the conversation 
     between Ms. Westbrook and Ms. Casey. I asked Donna if she 
     knew the basis for the declination, and she responded that 
     she did not, and hadn't seen a copy of the letter either. She 
     then suggested that if I do not receive the letter of 
     declination within a fairly short time frame, to please let 
     her know.
       Donna also noted that Ms. Westbrook advised her that USA 
     Casey had stated she would ``deal'' with the other referrals 
     as well.
       I'll keep you posted as to any further calls from Ms. 
     Henneman.

     Re #7236 Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Criminal Referral 
         Number C0004

       Dear Ms. Lewis: I am writing at the request of the Office 
     of Legal Counsel, Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys of the 
     U.S. Department of Justice to let you know the status of this 
     referral.
       As you know, this referral was reviewed by the Criminal 
     Division of the U.S. Department of Justice at the request of 
     the previous United States Attorney for the Eastern District 
     of Arkansas. The matter was concluded before I began working 
     in this office, and I was unaware that you had not been told 
     until I was contacted by the Office of Legal Counsel. After 
     receiving the call from Legal Counsel I reviewed the 
     referral, and I concur with the opinion of the Department 
     attorneys that there is insufficient information in the 
     referral to sustain many of the allegations made by the 
     investigators or to warrant the initiation of a criminal 
     investigation.
       Although I am declining to take further substantive action 
     on this referral, my decision does not foreclose future 
     prosecutions about the matters covered by the referral or 
     related matters in the event that my office and the FBI are 
     given access to records or information indicating that 
     prosecutable cases can be made.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Paula J. Casey,
     United States Attorney.

     Re #7236 Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan Criminal Referral 
         Number C0004

     Hon. Paula J. Casey,
     U.S. Attorney, Eastern District of Arkansas, Little Rock, AR.
       Dear Ms. Casey: I have received your October 27, 1993 
     letter regarding the above captioned thrift and referral. On 
     the basis of comments contained within your letter, I am 
     interpreting that correspondence as a formal declination to 
     prosecute referral #C0004. You stipulated in your letter that 
     this matter was concluded prior to the beginning of your 
     tenure as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District 
     of Arkansas. Prior to the receipt of your letter, RTC 
     Investigations was not advised that the matter had been 
     formally concluded.
       Between September 1, 1992 and today's date, this office has 
     received a total of three letters with regard to the 
     aforementioned referral, including your letter of 
     declination. The other two letters were from FBI/SAC Don 
     Pettus, 12/15/92, acknowledging receipt of the referral, and 
     from Acting United States Attorney Richard Pence, 5/10/93, 
     advising this office that he was unaware of the referral 
     status as it had been forwarded to the Executive Office for 
     United States Attorney's by former United States Attorney 
     Chuck Banks.
       If there were other documents produced that are relative to 
     the conclusion of this matter, I would appreciate receiving 
     the appropriate copies.
       The RTC Kansas City Office of Investigations will continue 
     it's policy of cooperation with both the United States 
     Attorney's office and the FBI on all referral related and 
     investigate matters, making all pertinent records accessible 
     as requested.
       Should you have any further questions, or if this office 
     may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to 
     contact me at (816) 968-7237, or if I am unavailable, 
     Supervisory Investigator Lee Ausen at (816) 968-7243 or Field 
     Investigations Officer Richard Iorio at (816) 968-7212.
           Very truly yours,
                                                    L. Jean Lewis,

       Hey you! Just a heads up to let you know that Mike Caron, 
     Senior Criminal Investigator, is now the lead investigator on 
     Madison . . . so anymore faxes you send should come to Mike's 
     attention, and any further communication about Madison should 
     go to him, too. The Powers That Be have decided that I'm 
     better off out of the line of fire (and I ain't arguing), but 
     please let me assure you, that we are leaving you in very 
     capable hands! Got any questions beyond that, ask Lee or

     Subject: Madison Guaranty.
     Date: Monday, November 15, 1993.

       On Thursday, November 11, 1993, there was an article that 
     appeared in the Washington Post concerning declination of 
     prosecution on the first Madison referral that was trans- 

[[Page 384]]

     mitted to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on August 31, 1992.
       Contained in the article was information that the referral 
     had been reviewed by DOJ and that a decision had been made 
     early on to decline on this referral and that when Paula 
     Casey US Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas, in fact issued the 
     declination in October 1993, she was simply bringing this 
     matter to a close.
       The document attached clearly refutes this train of 
     thought. In fact, it appears that no thorough review of the 
     document had been conducted as late as June 23, 1993, some 
     ten months after the referral had been initially transmitted. 
     It was not until September 29, 1993 that this office was 
     advised that the referral would be reviewed.
       This whole issue might not be important, however, for 
     purposes of credibility with regard to the RTC's efforts in 
     this area, this memo and attachment are submitted for factual 
     clarity.
                                  ____

       RTC Criminal Referral #C0004 on Madison Guaranty Savings 
     was completed on August 31, 1992, signed by RTC Kansas City 
     Investigations management on September 1, 1992, and sent via 
     certified mail on September 2, 1992, to Charles A. Banks U.S. 
     Attorney, Eastern District of Arkansas, and SSA Steve Irons, 
     FBI, Little Rock.
       By early November 1992, no standard written response of 
     prosecution or declination had been forthcoming from the U.S. 
     Attorney's office. In mid-November 1992, the lead criminal 
     investigator made the first of a number of verbal requests to 
     both the U.S. Attorney and FBI in Little Rock for some form 
     of written acknowledgement that the referral had been 
     received and reviewed. A written acknowledgement dated 
     December 15, 1992, from FBI SAC Don K. Pettus, was received 
     by the lead criminal investigator on January 4, 1993. This 
     acknowledgement stated that the referral had been received, 
     and that further questions should be directed to AUSA Floyd 
     Mac Dodson, who had also received the referral and exhibits. 
     On January 7, 1993, the lead investigator had a conversation 
     with AUSA Mac Dodson in which he advised that he wasn't sure 
     the referral was still in the U.S. Attorney's office in 
     Little Rock, and that if prosecution occurred, it would 
     probably be through a special attorney sent to Little Rock to 
     handle the situation.
       For four months, there was no further communication or 
     correspondence received by Investigations on this matter. In 
     a May 3, 1993, conversation between Investigations and the 
     U.S. Attorney's office, it was indicated that referral #C0004 
     had been ``sent to Justice in Washington almost as soon as it 
     was received last September''. On May 4, 1993 Investigations 
     sent a written inquiry to Acting U.S. Attorney, Richard M. 
     Pence, requesting the status of the referral. On May 12, 
     1993, Investigations received a letter from Mr. Pence (dated 
     May 10, 1993) stating that former U.S. Attorney Charles Banks 
     had determined that his office had a conflict of interest 
     with conducting an investigation or prosecuting criminal 
     charges relating to referral #C0004, and had sent the 
     referral and exhibits to the Office of Legal Counsel 
     (``OLC''), Executive Office for U.S. Attorney's, U.S. Justice 
     Department, Washington D.C. He stated that any further 
     inquiries as to the status of the referral should be directed 
     to that office, providing a phone number in Washington D.C.
       As suggested by Mr. Pence, the lead investigator called the 
     OLC on May 13, 1993. This initiated a series of 15 phone 
     calls between the OLC and Investigations; 10 taking place 
     between May 13 and June 29, 1993, and five transpiring 
     between September 23 and October 27, 1993. The majority of 
     these calls were incoming to Investigations, and provided 
     information as to the progress being made with regard to 
     locating and determining the status of the referral.
       The June 23, 1993 conversation between Investigations and 
     OLC indicated that the decision had been made to return the 
     referral to the U.S. Attorney in Little Rock as there was 
     ``no basis for recusal of the U.S. Attorney'' and apparent 
     ``lack of conflict of interest.'' During a conversation on 
     September 23, the OLC inquired as to the ``final 
     disposition'' of referral #C0004. They were advised by 
     Investigations that no formal notification had been received 
     of either a declination or intent to prosecute, 
     Investigations then advised OLC that there were additional 
     referrals pending; OLC then requested that Investigations 
     remain in contact with the OLC regarding further 
     communication from the U.S. Attorney in Little Rock.
       On September 29, 1993, the OLC contacted Investigations and 
     advised that 1) the Deputy Attorney General's office had been 
     advised of the situation and 2) that the pending and prior 
     referrals would be reviewed and a decision made as to whether 
     or not they be forwarded to the Public Integrity Section of 
     Justice and reviewed for potential prosecution. A verbal 
     request was then made by OLC that they be copied on the 
     transmittal letters to the U.S. Attorney accompanying the new 
     referrals, and that they be further provided with a summary 
     of each referral.
       The nine new referrals were submitted to the U.S. Attorney 
     and FBI in Little Rock on October 8, 1993. On October 13, 
     1993, the Office of Legal Counsel was provided with copies of 
     the transmittal letters, and the requested summaries on each 
     referral.
       On October 27, 1993, Investigations received a call from 
     OLC inquiring as to whether or not Investigations had 
     received a declination letter on referral #C0004; the 
     response was ``no.'' Investigations was advised that U.S. 
     Attorney Paula Casey had advised the OLC that she would be 
     sending a letter of declination to RTC Investigations.
       On November 1, 1993, Investigations received a letter dated 
     October 27, 1993, from U.S. Attorney Paula Casey stating that 
     the disposition of referral #C0004 had been concluded prior 
     to her taking office, and that she ``concurred with the 
     opinion of the Department attorneys that there is 
     insufficient information . . . in the referral to warrant the 
     initiation of a criminal investigation.''
       On November 11, 1993, RTC Investigations learned through an 
     article in the Washington Post, that Paula Casey had recused 
     herself and her staff from any further dealing with the 
     Madison referrals.

       A few comments with regard to our conversation this 
     afternoon about the pending meeting with Donald Mackay and 
     his staff on 11/22.
       You know, Richard knows, Donohue knows, Mike knows, and I 
     know that Mackay is not coming here to look at records. Cut 
     to the bottom line. He is coming here because he wants to be 
     convinced that there either IS or IS NOT a very good case 
     behind those referrals. He isn't coming specifically to 
     discuss subpoena compliance, because he hasn't opened any 
     cases yet. He's coming here to evaluate us, our work, and to 
     try and decide just how good this case is, and how he can 
     best deal with a very sensitive political situation. What 
     would be easiest for him is to decide that, after meeting 
     with RTC Investigations, he can conclude that there is no 
     merit, and has accordingly advised Investigations that the 
     matter will be dropped. If we don't convince him that those 
     referrals are exceptionally solid, well prepared and 
     supportable cases, then there is very little doubt that he 
     will dispense with this situation in very short order.
       Regardless of stated agenda, and regardless of whether or 
     not I'm in attendance, he's going to try and make an 
     objective assessment based on what is presented to him during 
     the meeting. If that's the way the meeting starts out, then 
     you better pull out all the stops to support the work we've 
     done, or that's the last we'll hear of the Madison 
     investigation. That's my instinct talking, and so far, it's 
     been pretty much on target.
       Michael is extremely knowledgable about Madison, and very 
     capable of handling the situation. I would not do him the 
     injustice of thinking otherwise. But internal political crap 
     notwithstanding, if this meeting is going to turn into a 
     turkey shoot, then you are going to need every loaded gun 
     you've got to assist you in convincing this special 
     prosecutor that the case is as good as it looks on the 
     surface. And yes, we have strong documentation to support the 
     allegations. But what's beneath the surface, including where 
     we looked and why, who's tied to who, who's in business with 
     who, who got paid for what and where all the internal and 
     external ties are, isn't in writing. It's in my head.
       I've had my say. The decision is up to you and Richard.

     Date: Thursday, January 6, 1994.

       This is just to advise that earlier this evening, I 
     received a call from * * *  who started out her call with 
     I've been lied to by the Justice Department''. I advised her 
     that I could not offer any comment, but that I would listen 
     to what she had to say.
       She stated that her sources from DOJ, who were there during 
     the end of the Bush Administration, had advised her that the 
     original RTC referral was taken much more seriously than the 
     public has been led to believe, and that while they believed 
     that the Clin- 

[[Page 385]]

     tons definitely stood to benefit from the alleged check 
     kiting activities, they may not have had serious criminal 
     culpability. They also advised her that the referral was left 
     in Little Rock to prosecute by former USA Chuck Banks, 
     because for Washington to be involved would look ``too 
     political.'' She said that they (her four DOJ sources) all 
     told her that there was no basis for recusal, and no conflict 
     of interest in Little Rock.
       She then advised that Justice sources today informed her 
     that it was line staff attorneys in the Criminal section of 
     DOJ/DC that decided the referral warranted no further 
     investigation, and instructed Paula Casey to decline.
       She also noted that her previous DOJ sources had said that 
     after the Clinton administration came into Washington, there 
     were roadblocks put up around this referral, and that it had 
     been their opinion that the RTC staff was attempting to do a 
     legitimate job, but was being stymied by personnel at Justice 
     for some reason. She asked me if it was true that the 
     Clintons were named as witnesses on the referral; I declined 
     comment. She asked me if it was true that the RTC had not 
     been notified for months after the referral was allegedly 
     declined by the staff attorneys in DC; I declined comment.
       I told her that she would have to call you (Jane) in Public 
     Affairs for any additional information, and she advised me 
     that she'd already talked to you, and got no information. She 
     stated that she understood that I was in a difficult 
     position, for which I thanked her, and the conversation 
     ended.
       I found what she had to say very interesting. In the 
     future, I'll comply with Richard and Lee's wishes that I not 
     even listen to what a reporter has to say, and just offer a 
     no comment. However, when someone starts out with ``I've been 
     lied to by the Justice Department'', it's human nature to 
     wonder whether or not it is true.
       Thus endeth the lesson.
       This document is a recap of a phone call that I just 
     received from * * * , reporter * * * whose opening comment 
     was ``I've just been lied to by the Justice Department.'' My 
     comment was that I would not be able to respond to any of her 
     questions, but that I was fascinated by the fact that she 
     thought she'd been lied to, so I would listen to what she had 
     to say.
       She outlined her credentials, stating that she'd written a 
     book on drug trafficking, and had covered the ``peanut 
     loans'', Bert Lance, Billy Carter, Jimmy Carter and the major 
     governmental agencies during the Carter administration.
       She'd been advised that I was the investigator on the case, 
     and wanted to know which of the stories she'd been told by 
     her sources at Justice were correct. Evidently, she had four 
     former Justice sources who were there during the Bush 
     administration, and that had been there when Chuck Banks sent 
     the referral to Washington. The story they told her was as 
     follows:
       The referral was originally sent to DC as an ``urgent 
     report'' for the Attorney General's review, due in part to 
     the political sensitivity of some of the identified names, 
     stating that Banks felt his office had a conflict of 
     interest. (This coincides with what my letter from Richard 
     Pence states, and what Donna Henneman told me during our many 
     conversations on the whereabouts of the referral). There are 
     conflicting stories about why Keeney wrote the memo 
     referenced in the Schmidt/Isikoff story of 1/5; her sources 
     stated that when the RTC referral was reviewed at Justice, it 
     was taken much more seriously than the public has been led to 
     believe, and that they believed that the Clinton's stood to 
     benefit from the check kite although they may not have had 
     serious criminal culpability. She asked if it was true that 
     the Clinton's were named as witnesses on the referral; I told 
     her no comment.
       She said that her former Justice sources advised her that 
     Banks had never recused himself, and that CID/DOJ DC left the 
     referral in Little Rock and told Banks to prosecute, because 
     1) there was no conflict of interest, 2) there was no basis 
     for recusal, and 3) that for Washington to get involved would 
     ``look too political'' since it was right before and after 
     the '92 election. Her sources also indicated that DOJ now 
     seems to be deliberately making it look like the referral was 
     ``vague'' and ``ambiguous'', and not to be taken seriously.
       She stated that her sources told her that it appeared that 
     the RTC folks were legitimately trying to do their job, and 
     had legitimate concerns relating to the allegations contained 
     in the referral, but that when the Clinton administration 
     came in, somebody started putting up roadblocks on the 
     referral, and her sources didn't know where it was coming 
     from.
       Her current Justice sources state that it was the line 
     staff attorneys in CID/DOJ DC that made the decision several 
     months ago that the referral warranted no further 
     investigation, and instructed Paula Casey to decline 
     accordingly; however, the RTC wasn't notified for months, 
     which should have been corrected.
       * * * went on to ask several questions, all of which I 
     replied I could not answer, and referred her Public Affairs 
     and Jane Jankowski. She stated that she'd already talked to 
     Jane, and that it had gotten her nowhere. She asked if I knew 
     anyone else that she could talk to, or if anyone that had 
     left the RTC would have any information. I stated that there 
     were no names that I could give her other than Jane Jankowski 
     in Public Affairs. She then asked me if it was true that the 
     RTC had not been notified of the referral declination for 
     several months after it had been allegedly declined, and I 
     told her no comment.
       She said that she understood that I was in a difficult 
     position, and but that she needed all the help she could get. 
     I thanked her for understanding the difficultly of my 
     position, advised her that I understood that she was only 
     trying to do her job as a professional, but that I could not 
     professionally or ethically make any comment about the 
     investigation. She offered her phone numbers, which I did not 
     write down. She thanked me for my time, and hung up.
       My overall impression of this conversation was that she is 
     very close to the heart of this story, and that she is almost 
     on top of the ``white paper'' chronology outlining the 
     sequence of events and communication between DOJ and RTC on 
     C0004.
       Lee Ausen was present for the entire conversation that I 
     had with * * *, and suggested to me shortly before the 
     conversation ended that I terminate the call with a ``time 
     out'' gesture. He and Richard Iorio both advised that if she 
     included anything in her story regarding that fact that I'd 
     even listened to what she had to say, it would look bad for 
     the RTC, and recommended that in the future, I not even 
     listen to what a reporter has to say.
       I advised them both that I felt that listening to what * * 
     * had to say provided valuable information, and that there 
     was no point in being rude to the press, anymore than there 
     was any point in being rude to Justice or the FBI. ``No 
     comment'' does not have to be offensive. I further stated 
     that I would never do anything to undermine that efforts that 
     the RTC has made, or take any action that would question our 
     credibility or integrity, let alone do anything to compromise 
     the investigation on which I have spent the past two years as 
     the lead investigator.
       I concurred that in the future, I would simply send the 
     reporters to Public Affairs. However, I am very much inclined 
     to believe that, on the basis of my personal, and documented, 
     knowledge of what transpired during the conversations I had 
     with Donna Henneman of DOJ/Office of Legal Counsel/Ethics 
     section, that * * * is not far from the truth: it's beginning 
     to sound like somebody, or multiple ``somebodies'' are trying 
     to carefully control the outcome of any investigation 
     surrounding the RTC referrals, and that the beginnings of a 
     cover-up may have already started months ago.

     Re: Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Association.

       The RTC has received numerous requests for information on 
     Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Association and related 
     matters. Interim CEO Roger Altman is committed to responding 
     to these requests as promptly and thoroughly as possible.
       In order to assure that the RTC's response to requests on 
     these matters is thorough, accurate, and timely, I have 
     established a working group to coordinate the collection and 
     distribution of all information and material responsive to 
     the requests. The working group is comprised of James Dudine, 
     William Collishaw, and Peter Knight.
       I am sure that I can count on the full cooperation of you 
     and your staff with the working group. Please see that this 
     memorandum is distributed to the appropriate staff.

     From: L. Jean Lewis.
     Date: Monday, February 7, 1994.

       This is to advise you that I've had a conversation this 
     morning with AUSA Fletcher Jackson of the U.S. Attorney's 
     office in Little Rock. I called Mr. Jackson last week to make 
     an inquiry regarding Independence Federal Savings in 
     Batesville, Arkansas, out

[[Page 386]]

     of which he had prosecuted a case regarding Duane Kepford 
     sent me a memo quite some time ago about another; I recalled 
     in having done a preliminary review of Independence, that 
     Edney was given immunity for cooperating. I called Mr. 
     Jackson last week to verify that fact, which he in turn did 
     verify when he called back.
       Mr. Jackson called Friday afternoon, and as I was out of 
     the office, I intended to call him back this morning. Before 
     I had the opportunity to call him, he called me.
       We discussed, and he then changed the topic by asking me if 
     Steve Irons had told me last fall not to talk to Fletcher. I 
     told him that I preferred not to answer the question. He then 
     stated that he ``didn't have much use for ether Steve Irons 
     or Gretchen Hall'', and wanted to know what I'd been told. I 
     advised him that Steve Irons had told me last fall that he 
     thought it was a good idea if we (being Steve and myself) 
     didn't talk to each other for a while about Madison. I 
     further added that if had been suggested to me by my 
     management here that any questions directed to me by the U.S. 
     Attorney's office should probably come through Steve Irons or 
     another FBI agent, and that since the FBI was my most 
     appropriate contact, I should funnel responses to any 
     questions through them. Mr. Jackson made a comment that he, 
     and he was just looking for some input from me. He didn't get 
     any.
       He then added that he'd spoken to Jeff Gerrish recently, 
     and that Gerrish was ``absolutely astounded'' that nothing 
     more was ever done criminally with Madison, beyond the Castle 
     Grande transaction. He asked me if I knew who Gerrish was; I 
     advised him that year, I knew Jeff Gerrish, and no, I was not 
     aware of Mr. Gerrish's opinions regarding the prosecution of 
     criminal actions out of Madison, and that I'd formed by own 
     conclusions on that point, and that's where they would stay--
     my own. I then advised Mr. Jackson that I did not wish to 
     discuss Madison Guaranty, and we could change the subject, or 
     hang up. He persisted, and I explained to him that I'd 
     developed a respect for him during the past 2\1/2\ years, and 
     that out of respect for the working relationship we've 
     previously had, I wasn't going to talk about Madison. We then 
     hung up after a coridal goodbye.

         A. Penrose, April A. Breslaw, David G. Eisenstein,

     From: Julie F. Yanda.
     Date: Wednesday, January 5, 1994.

       Today at 1:30 p.m., Russ Kaufman and I received word that 
     OCOS wanted to talk to us about the Madison Guaranty 
     ``investigation''. We met with representatives of both WDC 
     and KCO OCOS: Leonard Newmark (WDC), Michael Kohn (KCO) and a 
     third individual whose name I cannot now remember. When Russ 
     asked who had sent them to talk to us, Mr. Newmark replied 
     that it had been his supervisor who had sent them and who had 
     instructed them to be ``proactive'' in dealing with the 
     issues this case would raise. Mr. Newmark indicated that they 
     were not conducting an investigation, but rather an 
     ``inquiry''.
       The first question they asked was who had made the criminal 
     referral on Madison Guaranty. Russ indicated that the 
     referrals were made in accordance with RTC policy and 
     committed to providing Mr. Kohn with a copy of the RTC 
     policy. There was no further discussion of the referrals.
       The second series of questions they asked dealt with what 
     they characterized as ``fitness and integrity'' issues 
     concerning the Rose Law Firm. First, they asked what 
     investigation PLS had done into the representations the Rose 
     Firm had made to state regulators to convince the regulators 
     that Madison should remain open. I replied that PLS only 
     investigates issues dealing with professional malpractice and 
     that such inquiries would be made only in the context of 
     conflict of interests issues involving outside counsel. I 
     then explained that this case was not regionalized and that 
     April had served as the PLS attorney on this case. Second, 
     they asked who was the FDIC ``conflicts contact'' on this 
     case. Third, they asked what information we had concerning 
     the audit report the Rose Firm had used to convince 
     regulators that Madison should remain open and then later 
     relied upon in a malpractice claim against Frost & Co. Again, 
     I told them that I had no information concerning these 
     issues.
       Our discussion lasted no more than 10 minutes. Russ and I 
     then called Richard Iorio and discussed with him the 
     substance of our conversation with OCOS.

     To: Governor Bill Clinton.
     From: Jim McDougal.

       Kathy called yesterday to ask for my recommendations for 
     two people to fill the vacancies on the State Savings and 
     Loan Board.
       For the industry position from the 2nd Congressional 
     District, I recommend John Latham, who is chairman of the 
     board of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Association. Mr. 
     Latham is a CPA and a licensed attorney. He is a major 
     contributor to your campaign. His board of directors is 50% 
     Black, giving his institution the largest minority 
     representation of any financial institution in the state.
       For the consumer position from the 4th Congressional 
     District, I recommend Dr. Jerry Kendall of Camden. Dr. 
     Kendall is a popular figure at Camden. His wife, Nancy from 
     Magnolia, is widely and favorably know. Their complete 
     support of your administration is a certainty.
       Bill, we are down to only about 15 state chartered savings 
     and loan institutions and I am about the only one around who 
     has any interest in this board.

         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Hove: I am writing in reference to the House 
     Banking Committee Minority investigation of the failure of 
     Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan (Madison). As you know, 
     Madison was taken over by federal regulators in March 1989 
     and resolved by the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) in 
     November, 1990.
       To assist in this investigation, I request that the Federal 
     Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provide access to all 
     documents related to Madison and its subsidiaries. Such 
     documents would include, but not be limited to, 
     administrative files, examination reports, interoffice 
     memorandum, notes and minutes of meetings (including 
     telephonic meetings), correspondence, electronic mail, and 
     agreements the FDIC entered into with private sector firms to 
     perform legal and other services related to Madison. In 
     addition to documents in possession at FDIC-Washington, I 
     request access to all documents related to Madison held at 
     FDIC field offices. Furthermore, please provide the names and 
     titles of all FDIC employees involved with the examination 
     and supervision of Madison.
       Please have your staff contact Mike McGarry at 202-225-2258 
     to discuss arrangements to review the aforementioned 
     documents as soon as possible.
       I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your

     Mr. Jonathan Fiechter,
     Acting Director, Office of Thrift Supervision, Washington,

       Dear Mr. Fiechter: You have recently received letters from 
     Congressman Jim Leach requesting access to all documents you 
     possess concerning Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan and its 
     subsidiaries. The March 8, 1994 letter states that, ``Members 
     of the Committee will need access to this material to prepare 
     for the upcoming [RTC oversight] hearings and to perform 
     their ongoing oversight responsibilities.''
       This letter is to inform you that the Banking Committee is 
     not conducting an investigation of Madison Guaranty Savings 
     and Loan or related matters at this time. Mr. Leach's 
     requests do not constitute a Rule X or Rule XI investigation 
     under the House Rules. A hearing does not provide the basis 
     for a member of Congress to obtain documents to which he or 
     she is not otherwise entitled. I will request any information 
     needed by the Committee in order to prepare for any Thrift 
     Depositor Protection Board Oversight hearings pursuant to 
     section 21A(k)(6) of the FHLB Act and will make it available 
     to members of the Committee, as appropriate.
       I trust that you will give Congressman Leach's requests the 
     consideration they merit and extend to him the same 
     courtesies you would extend to any member of Congress.
           Sincerely,

       Dear Mr. Hove: You have previously been invited by letter 
     dated March 3, 1994 to appear before the Committee on 
     Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs for the purpose of the 
     semiannual appearance of the Thrift Depositor Protection 
     Oversight Board. I expect that Republican members of the 
     Committee may use the opportunity of the Oversight Board 
     hearing to pursue extraneous matters, including Madison 
     Guaranty Savings and Loan. Any questions regarding Madison 
     Guaranty Savings and Loans, matters that are the subject of 
     pending investigations by Special Counsel Fiske or other law 
     enforcement authorities, or other extraneous matters not 
     specifically set forth in section 21A(k)(6) of the Federal 
     Home Loan Bank Act or the March 3, 1994 invitation letter 
     will not be considered pertinent at the hearing and need not 
     be answered by you.
       I was the primary sponsor of the provision to require the 
     Oversight Board to appear on a semiannual basis so that the 
     Committee could oversee its activities. The recent 
     appropriation of funds to the RTC, the management reforms, 
     and FDIC-RTC transition measures required under Public Law 
     103-24 clearly require the complete and full attention of the 
     Committee in order to have a successful Oversight Board

     opportunity of the Oversight Board hearing to pursue their 
     stated interest in extraneous matters, including Madison 
     Guaranty Savings and Loan. Any questions regarding Madison 
     Guaranty Savings and Loans, matters that are the subject of 
     pending investigations by Special Counsel Fiske or other law 
     enforcement authorities, or other extraneous matters not 
     specifically set forth in section 21A(k)(6) of the Federal 
     Home Loan Bank Act or the March 3, 1994 invitation will not 
     be considered pertinent at the hearing and need not be 
     answered by you.
       I was the primary sponsor of the provision to require the 
     Oversight Board to appear on a semiannual basis so that the 
     Committee could oversee its activities. The recent 
     appropriation of funds to the RTC, the management reforms, 
     and FDIC-RTC transition measures required under Public Law 
     103-24 clearly require the complete and fully attention of 
     the Committee in order to have a successful Oversight Board 
     hearing. I intend to keep the hearing so focused.
       I look forward to your March 24, 1994 appearance.
           Sincerely,

                                    Washington, DC, March 1, 1994.
     Hon. Carol K. Browner,
     Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Madam Administrator: You have recently received a 
     request from various minority members of the Committees on 
     Armed Services, Energy and Commerce, Government Operations, 
     and Natural Resources for information concerning the Waste 
     Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Test Phase. Their letter 
     requests answers to a number of questions concerning WIPP as 
     well as numerous documents, and cites Rules X and XI of the 
     House of Representatives as the basis for the request.
       This letter is to inform you that the above mentioned 
     committees have no ongoing investigations of the WIPP Test 
     Phase at this time. Therefore, the minority members' request 
     does not constitute a Rule X or Rule XI investigation under 
     the House Rules.
       This is not intended in any way to direct the nature of 
     your response to that letter. Indeed, we expect that you 
     would show the members the same courtesies as you would any 
     member of Congress.
           Sincerely,
     John Conyers, Jr.,

Minutes of Meeting, Board of Directors, Madison Financial Corporation, 
                             April 17, 1985

       The Board of Directors of Madison Financial Corporation met 
     on April 17, 1985, at 1:00 p.m. at the offices of Madison 
     Financial Corporation at 16th and Main Streets, Little Rock, 
     Arkansas. All directors were present. The minutes of the 
     previous meeting were read and approved as recorded.
       The first order of business, introduced by John Latham, was 
     the matter of authorizing prepayment of Jim McDougal's bonus. 
     After a full discussion, the following resolution was 
     unanimously adopted, with Jim McDougal abstaining from the 
     voting: ``RESOLVED, that the Corporation pre-pay to Jim 
     McDougal $30,000.00 of his annual bonus in recognition of the 
     profits of the prior year, and that said bonus is to be paid 
     directly to Whitewater Development.''
       There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
                                                James B. McDougal,
     Chairman.

                                  Memo

     To: John Latham.
     From: Jim McDougal.
     Date: July 1, 1986.

     Madison Marketing
       When the service corporation undertook its first land 
     development project in the spring of 1983, it was determined 
     to primarily advertise the home sites through the use of 
     television. The firm of Rothman and Lowery was retained as 
     Madison's advertising agency. Because her education is in 
     speech and drama, Mrs. McDougal assisted in preparing of copy 
     for the commercials, appeared in the commercials, and 
     assisted in editing the commercials. She either wrote or 
     rewrote all newspaper copy to advertise the subdivision. 
     Until the summer of 1984, the corporation undertook the 
     development of other subdivisions in addition to Maple Creek 
     Farms.
       During this period the creative audio and visual quality of 
     the production produced for the media by Rothman and Lowery 
     progressively deteriorated. Additionally, the firm frequently 
     made mistakes as to the placement of advertising or omitted 
     to place advertising when instructed to do so.
       In late summer 1984, after advising the board of directors 
     of the savings and loan and after seeking the legal opinion 
     from counsel, Mrs. McDougal formed Madison Marketing. She 
     undertook, with hired assistants, the writing of copy, taping 
     of spots, and placement of advertising for both the savings 
     and loan and the service corporation. For the work she 
     received exactly the same fee which had been paid Rothman and 
     Lowery, with the exception of the fact that she did not 
     charge for production of television spots or the writing of 
     newspaper copy.
       Additionally, she negotiated a much lower rate structure 
     with the television stations than the company had been paying 
     when the ads were placed through Rothman and Lowery. In late 
     January, 1985, Mrs. McDougal permitted Madison Marketing to 
     become a subsidiary of Madison Financial Corporation. Because 
     Madison Marketing was at this point a ``recognized agency'' 
     by the electronic media, this resulted in Madison Financial 
     Corporation receiving the 15 percent discount normally given 
     advertising agencies. Mrs. McDougal continues to perform all 
     the aforementioned duties in connection with the company's 
     advertising at no fee.

     Madison Real Estate
       When initial sales began at Maple Creek Farms in April of 
     1983, the listing broker was Perryman Realty Company, Inc. 
     Mr. Perryman had, at this time, other interests including his 
     own subdivisions. This prohibited his devoting the seven days 
     a week necessary to the sales effort then under way at Maple 
     Creek Farms and his listing was terminated.
       Some of Mr. Perryman's better salesmen desired to remain at 
     Maple Creek and continue selling. However, Arkansas law 
     requires that real estate salesmen be under the direct 
     supervision of a licensed real estate broker. Mrs. McDougal 
     holds a valid broker's license. In 1983, her license was held 
     under the name ``McDougal Real Estate'' although she was not 
     actively involved in the sale of real estate at this time.
       Upon the termination of Mr. Perryman's activities, Mrs. 
     McDougal changed the name of her real estate company to 
     ``Madison Real Estate Company''. Madison Real Estate became a 
     wholly owned subsidiary of Madison Financial Corporation. 
     From that time until the present, Mrs. McDougal has performed 
     the duty of supervision broker for the various salesmen 
     working for Madison Real Estate. Although it is normal 
     practice that the supervising broker receives at least thirty 
     percent of commissions generated by the salesmen under their 
     supervision, Mrs. McDougal charged no such fees. The only 
     fees Mrs. McDougal has received from Madison Real Estate are 
     fees for sales she made personally.
     Sorenson Enterprises
       Sorenson Enterprises is a sole proprietorship owned by Erik 
     Sorenson. Mr. Sorenson is a general contractor engaged in 
     construction and landscaping work. He built the sales office 
     for the subdivision at Camden known as Greentree Farms. He 
     also built the sales office at Fair Oaks. At several of our 
     subdivisions in southern Arkansas, he supervised the painting 
     and erection of signs in entranceways. He employed in these 
     subdivisions a crew of men engaged in selective clearing of 
     trees, planting of grass, and the general beautification of 
     the subdivisions. Concurrent with this activity, Mr. Sorenson 
     was engaged in building houses for other persons unrelated to 
     this company.
       Because of the observed quality of his workmanship, he was 
     placed under Mr. Dutton's command at Little Rock, and given 
     the responsibility of constructing or making additions to 
     various houses at Maple Creek Farms owned by the company. 
     When the company undertook the development of Castle Grande 
     Estates, an arrangement was negotiated with Mr. Sorenson 
     whereby for a flat monthly fee he would supervise the 
     assembling of the modular houses and these duties involved 
     the preparation of footings and foundations, the adding of 
     brick trim, and supervision of correcting any defect in the 
     workmanship of the house, and supervision of the installation 
     of central air conditioning and utilities.
     Madison Properties
       Madison Properties assets consists primarily of a very 
     large masonry building located on several acres with two 
     producing gas wells in Madison County just south of the 
     county seat of Huntsville. Madison Properties has no 
     connection to Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan or Madison 
     Financial Corporation.
     Master Developers
       Three stockholders are working in conjunction with the 
     development of 59 acres located on 145th Street. Two 
     stockholders have extensive experience in real estate 
     development and sales. These individuals have engaged in 
     exhaustive market research to determine immediate commercial 
     use for subject property. Their feasibility and marketing 
     studies indicate the immediate need for a fast-food outlet to 
     serve the several hundred industrial and service employees 
     presently employed within 1,500 feet of subject location. 
     There is no such outlet within several miles to serve the 
     heavily populated suburban areas surrounding the property. 
     Additional trade is anticipated from traffic generated by the 
     freeway which services the location.
       For the same reasons outlined above, need is indicated for 
     a convenience store and gasoline outlet. As mentioned above a 
     convenience store is essential to the successful sale of 
     residential lots. Roadrunner, Incorporation, a highly 
     successful Arkansas based convenience store and gasoline 
     outlet franchiser, has conducted an extensive market survey 
     which has concluded that such a facility located on subject 
     property would be successful. Two of the principals of Master 
     Developers have arranged for separate financing to erect such 
     a facility.
       Also, negotiations are far advanced for the sale of two 
     acres of the property to a building supply and insulation 
     firm.
       The preliminary master development plan for the business 
     park to be created is completed and a copy is attached.
     Island Construction
       The lots at Campobello which were under development last 
     year, were so heavily overgrown with spruce trees and other 
     foliage, that our sales people were finding it difficult to 
     walk the prospects from the road to the ocean therefore, 
     greatly inhibiting the sale of frontage lots.
       Additionally, the density of the foliage prohibited a view 
     of the ocean from the interior lots lying immediately behind 
     the ocean fronts lots, thereby diminishing the value of those 
     lots because of this lack of view of the water.
       Initially, unsuccessful attempts were made to employ timber 
     cutters with chain saws to selectively clear the ocean front 
     lots. This process proved too slow and too costly. When it 
     was determined that lot preparation could not keep pace with 
     sales using this method and further determined that this 
     process distracted from the beauty of the lots because it 
     left them covered with stumps, another solution was sought.
       Mr. Randolph, who was thoroughly familiar with the use of 
     mechanical methods employed by the company to prepare lots 
     for sale and who had had extensive experience working in 
     various subdivisions owned by the company, was asked to come 
     to Campobello to devise a method of overcoming this 
     landscaping and marketing problem. Upon his arrival he 
     immediately leased the proper bull dozer for such work and 
     trained bull dozer operators living on the island as to the 
     proper method of selectively clearing the lots and removal of 
     the resulting debris from the lots. Direct correlation by the 
     increasing sales and his arrival is easily demonstrative. For 
     example, every lot he caused to be prepared in his first week 
     of work was sold that weekend. His additional duties involved 
     building driveways which permitted access from the main 
     thoroughfare through the lot to the water's edge.
       The company owns a large tract of land abutting the highway 
     immediately at the entrance to the island. Our predecessor in 
     title had cut the timber from this tract some years ago. When 
     this sort of clear cutting occurs on that island, a large 
     bushy plant, which is quite unattractive, grows to a great 
     height and has an especially virulent root system which 
     inhibits its removal effectively even by a bull dozer. Mr. 
     Randolph purchased a new 70 horsepower tractor than attached 
     a device known as a ``tree eater'' to be used in the 
     eradication of this plant. This method was beautified to as 
     to make the ocean visible, thus greatly enhancing the value 
     of our entire property. Mr. Randolph left the tractor he 
     purchased at Campobello where it is in use until this time. 
     Personnel he trained in the proper method of beautification 
     of our property are continuing the process this year with 
     very beneficial effects.

                                            and Urban Affairs,

                                 Washington, DC, February 3, 1994.
     Mr. Roger C. Altman,
     Interim CEO, Resolution Trust Corporation, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Altman: I am in receipt of your February 1, 1994 
     response to the letter initiated by Senate Republican 
     leadership concerning Madison Savings and Loan and I am 
     pleased to learn that the RTC ``will vigorously pursue all 
     appropriate remedies'' with regard to Madison's failure. It 
     seems self-apparent that in order for the RTC to pursue 
     vigorously all remedies it must have all relevant information 
     at its disposal. Accordingly, I urge the RTC to seek and 
     review all Whitewater Development Corporation documents 
     turned over by the White House to the Justice Department.
       In its investigation of Madison, the Minority has uncovered 
     links between Madison and Whitewater, some of which may have 
     contributed to the thrift's failure. Not only did James and 
     Susan McDougal hold significant ownership interest in both 
     entities (approximately two thirds in Madison and one half in 
     Whitewater), but the other joint owners of Whitewater (Bill 
     and Hillary Clinton) appear to have benefited directly and 
     indirectly from the application of Madison resources. [See 
     the attached memo.]
       If the White House choose to use the Justice Department to 
     shield Whitewater documents not only from the public and 
     Congress, but from other government agencies, such as the 
     RTC, which have legitimate public law enforcement 
     responsibilities, it is hard to believe a responsible 
     resolution of the issues involved can be made by regulatory 
     authorities.
       I have high regard for your personal integrity, but as you 
     know, from the beginning, it has been an awkward situation to 
     have a presidentially appointed and confirmed officer of the 
     Treasury Department also head an independent federal agency, 
     the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). When this prospect 
     was first suggested at the beginning of the Clinton 
     Administration, it did not strike the Minority as overly 
     unreasonable for a month or two given the fact that no RTC 
     head had been selected.
       However, it has been over a year since the Administration 
     has been in office and it can only be described as 
     structurally unseemly for a political appointee of an 
     Executive branch department to make what are in effect, law 
     enforcement decisions for an independent federal agency as 
     they may touch upon the President.
       Accordingly, I would urge that you request from the 
     Department of Treasury's General Counsel and Ethics Office 
     advice as to whether you, as interim CEO of the RTC, are 
     obligated to rescue yourself from any decisions concerning 
     the resolution of Madison Guaranty. Just as the special 
     counsel law was designed to relieve the Attorney General from 
     an ethical dilemma of being both chief law enforcement 
     officer for the nation and chief legal advisor to the 
     President in circumstances when the President or a high level 
     Administration officer is the subject of investigation, so it 
     would appear ethically questionable for a political appointee 
     of the Department of Treasury to make decisions for an 
     independent federal agency when the

[[Page 391]]

     President may be implicated in enforcement and civil actions.
       In this regard, it should be clear that the issue is not 
     whether a presidentially appointed official can oversee an 
     investigation involving the President. Rather the issue is 
     that officials with this responsibility should be confirmed 
     for the job with that particular accountability. As you will 
     recall it was a political appointee confirmed by the Senate 
     that issued a cease and desist order for engaging in 
     conflicts of interest against the son of a former President.
       As you know, despite your strong letter to the Chairman of 
     the House Banking Committee recommending against extension, 
     Congress last year extended the statute of limitations for 
     civil lawsuits brought against S&L wrongdoers. As you pointed 
     out in your most recent letter, this extension ``has afforded 
     the RTC an opportunity to investigate further any civil 
     claims which may be asserted against individuals or entities 
     associated with Madison Guaranty for fraud, intentional 
     misconduct resulting in unjust enrichment, or international 
     misconduct resulting in substantial loss to the 
     institution.'' Given, however, the impending running of the 
     statute of limitations for certain kinds of actions, time is 
     clearly of the essence for the RTC to make judgments about 
     civil accountability in the failure of Madison.
       Finally, I would like to reiterate my request, pursuant to 
     Rules X and XI of the House Rules for all documents related 
     to Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan, Little Rock, Arkansas. 
     As you know, on December 9, 1993, I wrote the RTC requesting 
     access to all documents related to Madison Guaranty and its 
     subsidiaries.
       House and Committee Rules, House practices, and judicial 
     precedent support the proposition that the Ranking Minority 
     Member is the functional counterpart to the Chairman for 
     Committee action. This being the case, a request for 
     documents made by the Ranking Minority Member has parallel 
     standing with a request made by the Chairman of the 
     Committee. The Ranking Minority Member clearly has a voice in 
     the process and is entitled to information that will enable 
     the Ranking Minority Member to carry out his constitutionally 
     mandated oversight responsibilities.
       Therefore, the courtesy of a definitive reply to this 
     document request is requested by 12 noon, Monday, February 7, 
     1994. On this matter, it is urged that you also consult with 
     the Ethics Office as to the relevance of the previously 
     discussed recusal issue.
       Again, let me stress that to the degree a conflict 
     situation may exist in this matter in no way reflects on your 
     personal integrity. It is simply an awkward circumstance in 
     contrast to a personal embarrassment.
           Sincerely,
                                                   James A. Leach,
                                                   Ranking Member.
     Enclosure.

                               Memorandum

     To: Congressman Leach.
     From: Banking Minority Staff.
     Re: Madison Guaranty (``Madison'').
       In reviewing documents related to Madison in the possession 
     of Minority Banking, we have come across material which may 
     indicate direct payment of a loan of Bill Clinton's by 
     Madison through a subsidiary.
       Since the Minority's investigation is concerned with the 
     possible misuse of federally insured funds to assist 
     Whitewater and/or the former Governor, we thought we should 
     share the following information with you.


                                summary

       Based on documentary evidence available to the Minority, it 
     appears that Madison Marketing served, in at least one 
     instance, as a conduit of funds from Madison Guaranty to 
     Whitewater and Governor Clinton. If this is correct, it would 
     appear that insured funds from the failed Madison Guaranty 
     were diverted and directly benefitted the Governor and his 
     investment in Whitewater, a claim Clinton had denied.


                             documentation

       The 1983, Bill Clinton obtained a loan from Security Bank 
     of Paragould, Arkansas for approximately $20,800 (loan #975-
     585, Bill Clinton). The money from this loan was used to pay 
     off the remaining balance of a loan at Madison Bank and Trust 
     of Kingston, Arkansas that was provided for the purpose of 
     constructing a modular home on lot #13 at Whitewater Estates. 
     The loan at Madison Bank was provided in 1980 to Hillary 
     Clinton in the amount of $30,000.
       On November 8, 1985, James McDougal sent a letter 
     accompanied by a check to Charles Campbell, Vice President of 
     Security Bank of Paragould, for $7,322.42. The letter from 
     McDougal states that the check is principal and interest 
     payment on ``Note #957-585, Bill Clinton.'' [Note: It appears 
     that the loan number is a typographical error with the 
     superimposing of numbers 5 and 7 in the first three digits.]
       The check McDougal enclosed with his letter to Mr. Campbell 
     is a Whitewater Development Corporation check dated November 
     7, 1985. The loan number referenced on the memo portion of 
     the check is ``Note #95-585.''
       According to the check ledgers for the Whitewater 
     Development Corporation (WDC), the corporation's checking 
     account had the following balances: $189.50 on 10-10-85; and, 
     $12.49 on 10-31-85. However, in order to cover the payment of 
     $7,322.40 on the Clinton loan, a deposit is recorded on 
     November 8, 1985 in the amount of $7,500.00. The deposit is 
     listed as coming from ``Madison Marketing.''
       A 1986 Federal Home Loan Bank Board exam gives the 
     impression that Madison Marketing was largely a sham 
     corporation used to divert federally insured resources to 
     insiders. The exam notes that ``Until 1986, Susan McDougal 
     owned Madison Marketing.'' The report also states the 
     following:
       ``Madison Marketing is paid for doing all the general 
     advertising for Madison Guaranty and most of the advertising 
     for Madison Financial's land development projects. All of 
     Madison Marketing's business is derived from Madison Guaranty 
     or its subsidiaries. Since 1983 these payments total 
     $1,532,000.
       ``Given the evidence of Madison Marketing's invoices, it is 
     questionable how much of these advertising services are 
     actually performed by the firm. The actual work * * * appears 
     to be performed by others. It would appear that Madison 
     Guaranty could have an employee perform similar work for much 
     less money.
       ``Mr. Latham [an officer of Madison] stated that Madison 
     Marketing made no payments to any stockholders. This 
     statement is false. As part of a test for such payments, the 
     examiners discovered two remittances from Madison Marketing 
     to Susan McDougal [a large stockholder of Madison] which 
     total $50,000. This was a test, and there may be additional 
     payments.''


                               conclusion

       Given the above circumstances, it would appear that 
     federally insured deposits (i.e., funds from Madison Guaranty 
     through Madison Marketing), which, with the later failure of 
     Madison became, in effect, taxpayer obligations, were 
     transferred for the direct personal benefit of the former 
     Governor.
       The above payment also raises the question of whether 
     Whitewater was treated as an affiliate or related interest of 
     Madison Guaranty and therefore subject to conflict of 
     interest statutes. From a legal perspective, it could be 
     argued that the McDougals' controlling interest in Madison 
     Guaranty and their substantial ownership interest in 
     Whitewater could qualify Whitewater as an ``affiliate'' of 
     Madison Guaranty. Even if Whitewater is not considered a 
     subsidiary, related interest, or affiliate of Madison 
     Guaranty, such an extension of funds to a presumably 
     ``unaffiliated'' entity would be very unusual and suspect.
       It has been publicly reported, with respect to this loan 
     repayment, that both Whitewater and the Clintons took a tax 
     deduction related to interest paid on the same loan--which 
     the Clintons later recognized as improper double deduction 
     after an article ran in the New York Times. What remains 
     unclear is the largest question of whether the funds provided 
     by Madison to reduce the Clinton's liability were proper or 
     properly reported as income for income tax purposes.
       As you know, we have received broad hints from within the 
     RTC that the agency has had under review money transfers from 
     Madison to Whitewater. We will not know whether this type of 
     activity was more pervasive and part of a larger pattern 
     unless, and until, the agency provides us the documents we 
     have requested. If Madison provided any direct or indirect 
     assistance to Whitewater, presumably half the value of such 
     would redound to the advantage of each of the half owners. In 
     any regard, the above money transfer underscores that then 
     Governor Clinton had personal liabilities reduced by a 
     payment from Madison. Such payment presumably carries ethical 
     as well as tax implications and is part and parcel of the $47 
     to $60 million estimated taxpayer loss at Madison.
       Attachments.

                         report of examination

                  Prohibition of disclosure or release

       This document is the property of the Federal Home Loan Bank 
     Board and is furnished to the Institution for its 
     confidential use. Under no circumstances shall the 
     Institution, or any of its directors, officers, or employees, 
     disclose or make this document or any portion of it public in 
     any manner.
       If a subpoena or other legal process is received calling 
     for production of this document, the District Director--
     Examinations should be notified immediately. The attorney at 
     whose instance the process was issued, and, if necessary, the 
     court which issued the process, should be advised of the 
     above prohibition, and referred to Part 505 of the General 
     Regulations of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
       Directors, in keeping with their responsibilities, should 
     review this report thoroughly. This report should not be 
     considered an audit report.

                                Comments

       Information concerning the Institution's policies, 
     practices and condition, considered to be of supervisory 
     interest or concern, is shown below.
       A. Objectionable Conflicts of Interest
       Conflicts of interest involving James McDougal, Susan 
     McDougal, and William Henley have been detrimental to the 
     safety and soundness of the Institution. These individuals 
     are in control of the Institution (Madison Guaranty) through 
     their stock ownership. James McDougal owns 63.5% of the 
     outstanding Madison shares. His wife, Susan McDougal, owns 
     12.6%, and her brother, William Henley owns 8.5%. In addition 
     to his ownership control, Mr. McDougal, as President of the 
     Institution's subsidiary (Madison Financial), has complete 
     control of the land development projects discussed in comment 
     B.
       This control enabled Mr. McDougal to structure the 
     development and financing of the projects so that substantial 
     cash payments could be diverted to himself, Susan McDougal, 
     William Henley and others. These payments have directly 
     benefited these individuals, but Madison Guaranty has 
     received little or nothing in return. Though they have been 
     structured to avoid specific Insurance Regulations, these 
     payments are contrary to the general policy of the FHLBB 
     concerning conflicts of interest as stated in Insurance 
     Regulation 571.7 and FHLBB Memorandum R-19a.
       Many of these payments have been funneled through business 
     entities which are owned or controlled by the McDougals, 
     employees, relatives of employees, or close friends of the 
     McDouglas and Henley. In the report, reference will be made 
     to these individuals as the McDougal-Henley Group. Though the 
     activities of these business entities may be appropriate for 
     a savings and loan institution to perform, the advantages 
     associated with these activities accrue to the McDougals and 
     Henley, rather than Madison Guaranty. As such, these 
     arrangements are contrary to the FHLBB's policy concerning 
     appropriations of corporate opportunity as explained by 
     Insurance Regulation 571.9.
       Mr. McDougal stated that there were no violations of the 
     conflict of interest regulations.
       There are several of these business entities, none of which 
     are disclosed on the Examination Management Questionnaire. 
     The investigation of these businesses remains incomplete. For 
     example, the amount of Madison Guaranty loan proceeds going 
     to many of the entities is unknown. Formal investigative 
     powers have been granted; in this case, under Section 
     407(m)(2) of the National Housing Act. Current findings, with 
     respect to three of the more important business entities, are 
     discussed below.
       1. Madison Real Estate
       Madison Financial pays commissions to Madison Real Estate 
     for selling land from Madison Financial's developments. These 
     commissions in turn are distributed to the sales personnel. 
     Mr. Latham stated that Madison Real Estate was ``a division'' 
     of Madison Financial. Mr. McDougal stated that Madison Real 
     Estate was essentially formed in order to use Susan 
     McDougal's real estate sales license which, in turn, was 
     being used by Madison Financial to market the projects. But 
     Madison Real Estate's checking account was not on Madison 
     Financial's books until after management was notified of this 
     fact by the examiners. Also, Madison Real estate is not 
     registered in county records as a name being used by Madison 
     Financial or anyone else.
       Since the beginning of 1983, after the McDougals and Henley 
     acquired Madison Guaranty, substantial commissions were paid 
     through Madison Real Estate to William Henley ($427,683) and 
     Susan McDougal ($137,500). In Henley's case, a substantial 
     portion of these funds were advances against commissions to 
     be earned on future land sales. Other McDougal-Henley Group 
     members, who received substantial commissions, are Pat Harris 
     ($242,289) and James Henley ($154,690), who is the brother of 
     Susan McDougal and William Henley. These payments represent 
     most of the commissions paid by Madison Financial to Madison 
     Real Estate, which significantly derives all of its business 
     from Madison Financial
       Many of the sales, which generated these commissions, were 
     to McDougal-Henley Group members who are acting as straw 
     buyers. Madison Guaranty essentially retained the risks of 
     ownership on these transactions because it fully financed 
     these sales including the cash sales commissions. Thus, 
     Madison Guaranty's position deteriorated because it retained 
     the same ownership risks as before, but paid cash fees to 
     these individuals. In addition, fees paid through Madison 
     Real Estate were used as down payments in some of the straw 
     land purchases in an apparent attempt to disguise 100% 
     funding of the purchase by Madison Guaranty and its 
     subsidiaries.
       Messrs. McDougal and Latham cited an April 24, 1985 letter 
     from a Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Supervisory Agent as 
     permission to pay real estate sales commissions to Madison 
     Real Estate. However, this letter in part, asks that the 
     Board of Directors review Insurance Regulation 571.7 which is 
     cited above in this comment.
       2. Madison Marketing.
       Madison Marketing is paid for doing all the general 
     advertising for Madison Guaranty and most of the advertising 
     for Madison Financial's land development projects. All of 
     Madison Marketing's business is derived from Madison Guaranty 
     or its subsidiaries. Since 1983 these payments total 
     $1,532,000. Until February 1986, Susan McDougal owned Madison 
     Marketing. During a portion of this time, it was a 
     corporation which was incorporated by Lisa Aunspaugh, 
     reportedly a close friend of Susan McDougal.
       Mr. Latham stated that after February 1986, Madison 
     Marketing became an entity ``d/b/a (doing business as)'' for 
     Madison Financial and ceased to be a corporation. However, it 
     is not registered as a ``d/b/a'' in the County records. Also, 
     its checking account has never been recorded on the books of 
     Madison Financial.
       Given the evidence of Madison Marketing's invoices, it is 
     questionable how much of these advertising services are 
     actually performed by the firm. The actual work of 
     advertising, such as the design and production of commercials 
     and providing air time or newspaper space, appears to be 
     performed by others. Madison Marketing apparently just pays 
     the bills of other providers and adds a 15% fee of its own. 
     Examiners estimated this fee to be approximately $200,000 
     since 1983. It would appear that Madison Guaranty could have 
     an employee perform similar work for much less money.
       Mr. Latham stated that Madison Marketing made no payments 
     to any stockholders. This statement is false. As a part of a 
     test for such payments, the examiners discovered two 
     remittances from Madison Marketing to Susan McDougal which 
     total $50,000. This was a text, and there may be additional 
     payments.
       3. Designer's Construction

[[Page 393]]

       Designer's Construction performs construction work on some 
     of the land development projects and on some of the property 
     securing Madison Guaranty loans. In 1985 and to date in 1986, 
     $247,000 was paid for work performed for Madison Guaranty and 
     its subsidiaries. The amount of loan proceeds paid to 
     Designer's Construction on work for third party borrowers is 
     unknown.

     --Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

 TITLE I--AMENDMENTS TO THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ACT OF 
                                  1965

     SEC. 101. AMENDMENTS TO THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY 
                   EDUCATION ACT OF 1965.

       The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 is 
     amended to read as follows:
                        ``SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE
       ``This Act may be cited as the ``Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965''.
        ``TITLE I--HELPING CHILDREN IN NEED MEET HIGH STANDARDS

     ``SEC. 1001. DECLARATION OF POLICY AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Statement of Policy.--The Congress declares it to be 
     the policy of the United States that a high-quality education 
     for all citizens and a fair and equal opportunity to obtain 
     that education--
       ``(1) are a societal good necessary for creating a vibrant 
     future for our complex and diverse democracy and for meeting 
     the challenge of an internationally competitive economy;
       ``(2) are a private good because individual opportunity is 
     greatly enhanced by one's being well educated;
       ``(3) are a moral imperative in our society; simple justice 
     demands that the opportunity to acquire skills and knowledge 
     deemed necessary for basic citizenship and economic 
     opportunity be equally available to all; and
       ``(4) improve the life of every citizen, because the 
     quality of our individual lives ultimately depends on the 
     quality of the lives of others.
       ``(b) Recognition of Need.--The Congress recognizes that--
       ``(1) although the achievement gap between disadvantaged 
     children and other children has been reduced by half over the 
     past two decades, a sizeable gap remains, and many segments 
     of our society lack the opportunity to become well educated;
       ``(2) the most urgent need for educational improvement is 
     in schools with high concentrations of children from low-
     income families. Achieving the National Education Goals will 
     not be possible without substantial improvement in these 
     schools;
       ``(3) educational needs are particularly great for low-
     achieving children in our highest-poverty schools, children 
     with limited English proficiency, children with disabilities, 
     children of migrant workers, Indian children, children who 
     are neglected or delinquent, and young children and their 
     parents who are in need of family-literacy services; and
       ``(4) while title I and other programs funded under this 
     Act have contributed to narrowing the achievement gap between 
     children in high-poverty and low-poverty schools, they need 
     to become even more effective in improving high-poverty 
     schools in order to help enable all children to achieve high 
     standards.
       ``(c) What Has Been Learned.--To enable schools to provide 
     all children a high-quality education, this title builds upon 
     what has been learned:
       ``(1) All children can master challenging content and 
     complex problem-solving skills; research clearly shows that 
     children, including low-achieving children, can succeed when 
     expectations are high and they are given the opportunity to 
     learn challenging material.
       ``(2) Piecemeal reform, particularly when not tied to an 
     overall vision of teaching to, and helping all children 
     reach, high standards, does not work.
       ``(3) Use of low-level tests that are not aligned with 
     schools' curricula fails to provide adequate information 
     about what children know and can do and encourages curricula 
     and instruction that focus on low-level skills measured by 
     those tests.
       ``(4) Resources are less effective when they serve children 
     through such practices as pull-out programs, instead of 
     ensuring that children have full access to effective regular 
     school programs and receive supplemental help through 
     extended-time activities.
       ``(5) The disproven theory that children must first learn 
     basic skills before engaging in more complex tasks continues 
     to dominate strategies for classroom instruction, resulting 
     in emphasis on repetitive drill and practice at the expense 
     of content-rich instruction, accelerated curricula, and 
     effective teaching to high standards.
       ``(6) Intensive and sustained professional development for 
     teachers and other school staff--focused on teaching and 
     learning and on helping children attain high standards--is 
     too often not provided.
       ``(7) Insufficient attention and resources are directed 
     toward the effective use of technology in schools and the 
     role it can play in professional development and improved 
     teaching and learning.
       ``(8) All parents can contribute to their children's 
     success by helping at home and becoming partners with 
     teachers so that children can achieve high standards.
       ``(9) Decentralized decisionmaking is a key ingredient of 
     systemic reform. Schools need the resources, flexibility, and 
     responsibility to design and implement effective strategies 
     for bringing their children to high levels of

[[Page 396]]

     performance and should accept responsibility to do so.
       ``(10) Opportunities for students to achieve to high 
     standards can be enhanced through a variety of approaches 
     such as public school choice and charter schools.
       ``(11) Attention to academics alone cannot ensure that all 
     children will reach high standards. The health and other 
     needs of children that affect learning are frequently unmet, 
     particularly in high-poverty schools, thereby necessitating 
     coordination of services to better meet children's needs.
       ``(d) Statement of Purpose.--The purpose of this title is 
     to enable schools to provide opportunities for children 
     served to acquire the knowledge and skills contained in the 
     rigorous State content standards and to meet the challenging 
     State performance standards developed for all children under 
     the Goals 2000: Educate America Act or, in their absence, 
     under this title. This purpose shall be accomplished by--
       ``(1) ensuring high standards for all children and aligning 
     the efforts of States, local educational agencies, and 
     schools to help children served under this title to reach 
     them;
       ``(2) providing children an enriched and accelerated 
     educational program through schoolwide programs or through 
     additional services that increase the amount and quality of 
     instructional time so that children served under this title 
     receive at least all the classroom instruction that other 
     children receive;
       ``(3) promoting schoolwide reform and ensuring access of 
     children--from the earliest grades--to effective 
     instructional strategies and challenging academic content 
     that includes intensive complex thinking and problem-solving 
     experiences;
       ``(4) significantly upgrading the quality of curricula and 
     instruction by providing staff in participating schools with 
     substantial opportunities for intensive and sustained 
     professional development;
       ``(5) coordinating services under all parts of this title 
     with each other, with other educational services, and, to the 
     extent feasible, with health and social service programs 
     funded from other sources;
       ``(6) affording parents meaningful opportunities to 
     participate in the education of their children at home and at 
     school;
       ``(7) distributing resources, in amounts sufficient to make 
     a difference, to areas where needs are greatest;
       ``(8) improving accountability, as well as teaching and 
     learning, by using State assessment systems designed to 
     measure how well children are achieving high State standards 
     of performance expected of all children; and
       ``(9) providing greater decisionmaking authority and 
     flexibility to schools in exchange for greater responsibility 
     for student performance.

     ``SEC. 1002. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

        ``Appropriations are authorized for the following programs 
     and activities under this title:

     teachers, administrators, and parents, that--
       ``(A)(i) is integrated with the State's plan, either 
     approved or being developed, under title III of the Goals 
     2000: Educate America Act, and satisfies the requirements of 
     this section that are not already addressed by that State 
     plan; and
       ``(ii) is integrated with other State plans, if any, under 
     the School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1993 and the Carl D. 
     Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act, to 
     the extent that these plans have not already been 
     incorporated in the State's plan under title III of the Goals 
     2000: Educate America Act; or
       ``(B) if the State does not have an approved plan under 
     title III of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act and is not 
     developing such a plan--
       ``(i) is integrated with other State plans under this Act

     Opportunities Act of 1993 and the Carl D. Perkins Vocational 
     and Applied Technology Education Act, where such plans exist;

     of this section by referencing applicable sections of its 
     approved State plan under title III of the Goals 2000: 
     Educate America Act.

     State plan shall demonstrate that the State has developed or 
     adopted high-quality standards for children served under this 
     title that will be used by the State, its local educational 
     agencies, and its schools to carry out this Act and that 
     these standards be as challenging and of the same high-
     quality as they are for all children. These standards shall 
     include--
       ``(i) challenging content standards in the core academic 
     subjects that--
       ``(I) specify what children served under this title are 
     expected to know and be able to do;

     `proficient' and `advanced', that determine how well children 
     served under this title are mastering the material in the 
     content standards; and

     necessary, to provide complete information about the progress 
     of the lower-performing children toward achieving the high 
     `proficient' and `advanced' performance standards.

     not adopted challenging content and performance standards, 
     the State plan shall include a schedule for their development

     reading/language arts by the end of the interim period as 
     described in paragraph (7).

     assessments described under paragraph (3), what constitutes 
     adequate yearly progress of--

     children to meet the State's `proficient' and `advanced' 
     performance standards; and

     under this part toward enabling children in schools receiving 
     assistance under this part to meet the State's `proficient' 
     and `advanced' performance standards.

     manner--

     applicability established by the Secretary and results in 
     continuous and substantial yearly improvement for 
     economically disadvantaged, limited-English proficient, and

     educational agency toward the goal of all children under this

       ``(A) The grant which a local educational agency in a State 
     is eligible to receive under this subpart for a fiscal year 
     shall (except as provided in section 1126), be determined by 
     multiplying the number of children counted under subsection 
     (c) by 40 percent of the amount determined under the next 
     sentence. The amount determined under this sentence shall be 
     the average per pupil expenditure in the State except that 
     (i) if the average per pupil expenditure in the State is less 
     than 80 percent of the average per pupil expenditure in the 
     United States, such amount shall be 80 percent of the average 
     per pupil expenditure in the United States, or (ii) if the 
     average per pupil expenditure in the State is more than 120 
     percent of the average per pupil expenditure in the United 
     States, such amount shall be 120 percent of the average per 
     pupil expenditure in the United States. For each local 
     educational agency serving an area with a total population of 
     at least 20,000 persons, the grant under this section shall 
     be the amount determined by the Secretary. For local 
     educational agencies serving areas with total population of 
     fewer than 20,000 persons, the State education agency may 
     either (I) distribute to such local educational agencies 
     grants under this section equal to the amounts determined by 
     the Secretary; or (II) use an alternative method, approved by 
     the Secretary, to distribute the share of the State's total 
     grants under this section that is based on local educational 
     agencies with total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons. 
     Such an alternative method of distributing grants under this 
     section among a State's local educational agencies serving 
     areas with total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons 
     shall be based upon population data that the State education 
     agency determines best reflect the current distribution of 
     children in poor families among the State's local educational 
     agencies serving areas with total populations of fewer than 
     20,000 persons. If a local educational agency serving an area 
     with total population of less than 20,000 persons is 
     dissatisfied with the determination of its grant by the State 
     education agency, then it may appeal this determination to 
     the Secretary. The Secretary must respond to this appeal 
     within 45 days of receipt. The Secretary shall consult with 
     the Secretary of Commerce regarding whether available data on 
     population for local educational agencies serving areas with 
     total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons are 
     sufficiently reliable to be used to determine final grants to 
     such areas.

     States for which the Department of Commerce has not prepared 
     data on the number of children, aged 5-17, from families 
     below the poverty level for local educational agencies, then 
     the Secretary shall use such data compiled for counties in 
     those portions of the States, treating the counties as if 
     they were local educational agencies. In such cases, subject 
     to section 1126, the grant for any local educational agency 
     in such an area of a State shall be determined on the basis 
     of the aggregate amount of such grants for all such agencies 
     in the county or counties in which the school district of the 
     particular agency is located, which aggregate amount shall be 
     equal to the aggregate amount determined under subparagraph 
     (A) for such county or counties, and shall be allocated among 
     those agencies upon such equitable basis as may be determined 
     by the State educational agency in accordance with basic 
     criteria prescribed by the Secretary.

     the percentage which the average per pupil expenditure in the 
     Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is of the lowest average per 
     pupil expenditure of any of the 50 States. The grant which 
     the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico shall be eligible to receive 
     under this subpart for a fiscal year shall be the amount 
     arrived at by multiplying the number of children counted 
     under subsection (c) for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico by 
     the product of--
       ``(i) the percentage determined under the preceding 
     sentence; and
       ``(ii) 32 percent of the average per pupil expenditure in 
     the United States.

     term `State' does not include Guam, American Samoa, the 
     Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau.
       ``(b) Minimum Number of Children To Qualify.--A local 
     educational agency shall be eligible for a basic grant for a 
     fiscal year under this subpart only if the number of children 
     counted under subsection (c) in the school district of such 
     local educational agency is at least 10.
       ``(c) Children To Be Counted.--
       ``(1) Categories of children.--The number of children to be 
     counted for purposes of this section is the aggregate of--
       ``(A) the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, in 
     the school district of the local educational agency from 
     families below the poverty level as determined under 
     paragraph (2)(A),
       ``(B) the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, in 
     the school district of such agency from families above the 
     poverty level as determined under paragraph (2)(B), and
       ``(C) the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, in 
     the school district of such agency in institutions for 
     neglected and delinquent children (other than such 
     institutions operated by the United States) or attending 
     community day programs for such children, but not counted 
     pursuant to subpart 3 of part D for the purposes of a grant 
     to a State agency, or being supported in foster homes with 
     public funds.
       ``(2) Determination of number of children.--
       ``(A) For the purposes of this section, the Secretary shall 
     determine the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, 
     from families below the poverty level on the basis of the 
     most recent satisfactory data available from the Department 
     of Commerce for local educational agencies (as produced and 
     published under section 181a of title 13, United States 
     Code). If, and only if, there are portions of any of the 
     States for which the Department of Commerce has not prepared 
     data on the number of children, aged 5-17, from families

[[Page 404]]

     below the poverty level for local educational agencies, then 
     the Secretary shall use such data compiled for counties in 
     those portions of the States, treating the counties as if 
     they were local educational agencies. The District of 
     Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico shall be treated 
     as individual local educational agencies. If a local 
     educational agency contains two or more counties in their 
     entirety, then each county will be treated as if it were a 
     separate local educational agency for purposes of calculating 
     grants under this part. The total of grants for such counties 
     shall be allocated to such a local educational agency, which 
     shall distribute to schools in each county within it a share 
     of the local educational agency's total grant that is no less 
     than the county's share of the population counts used to 
     calculate the local educational agency's grant. If the 
     Department of Commerce has updated data on the number of 
     children, aged 5-17, from families below the poverty level 
     for local educational agencies, then the Secretary shall use 
     the updated data. In determining the families which are below 
     the poverty level, the Secretary shall utilize the criteria 
     of poverty used by the Bureau of the Census in compiling the 
     most recent decennial census, in such form as those criteria 
     have been updated by increases in the Consumer Price Index 
     for all urban consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor 
     Statistics.
       ``(B) For purposes of this section, the Secretary shall 
     determine the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, 
     from families above the poverty level on the basis of the 
     number of such children from families receiving an annual 
     income, in excess of the current criteria of poverty, from 
     payments under the program of aid to families with dependent 
     children under a State plan approved under title IV of the 
     Social Security Act; and in making such determinations the 
     Secretary shall utilize the criteria of poverty used by the 
     Bureau of the Census in compiling the most recent decennial 
     census for a family of 4 in such form as those criteria have 
     been updated by increases in the Consumer Price Index for all 
     urban consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 
     The Secretary shall determine the number of such children and 
     the number of children of such ages living in institutions 
     for neglected or delinquent children, or being supported in 
     foster homes with public funds, on the basis of the caseload 
     data for the month of October of the preceding fiscal year 
     (using, in the case of children described in the preceding 
     sentence, the criteria of poverty and the form of such 
     criteria required by such sentence which were determined for 
     the calendar year preceding such month of October) or, to the 
     extent that such data are not available to the Secretary 
     before January of the calendar year in which the Secretary's 
     determination is made, then on the basis of the most recent 
     reliable data available to the Secretary at the time of such 
     determination. The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
     shall collect and transmit the information required by this 
     subparagraph to the Secretary not later than January 1 of 
     each year.
       ``(C) When requested by the Secretary, the Secretary of 
     Commerce shall make a special updated estimate of the number 
     of children of such ages who are from families below the 
     poverty level (as determined under subparagraph (A) of this 
     paragraph) in each school district, and the Secretary is 
     authorized to pay (either in advance or by way of 
     reimbursement) the Secretary of Commerce the cost of making 
     this special estimate. The Secretary of Commerce shall give 
     consideration to any request of the chief executive of a 
     State for the collection of additional census information.

     all children who are in correctional institutions to be 
     living in institutions for delinquent children.

                     YOUTH AT RISK OF DROPPING OUT

     ``SEC. 1401. FINDINGS; PURPOSE; PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

       ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       ``(1) A large percentage of youth in the juvenile justice 
     system have poor academic achievement, are a year or more 
     behind grade level, and have dropped out of school.
       ``(2) There is a strong correlation between academic 
     failure and involvement in delinquent activities.
       ``(3) Preventing students from dropping out of local 
     schools and addressing the educational needs of delinquent 
     youth can help reduce the dropout rate and involvement in 
     delinquent activities at the same time.
       ``(4) Many schools and correctional facilities fail to 
     communicate regarding a youth's academic needs and students 
     often return to their home school ill-prepared to meet 
     current curriculum requirements.
       ``(5) Schools are often reluctant to deal with youth 
     returning from facilities and receive no funds to deal with 
     the unique educational and other needs of such youth.
       ``(6) A continuing need exists for activities and programs 
     to reduce the incidence of youth dropping out of school.
       ``(7) Federal dropout prevention programs have demonstrated 
     effectiveness in keeping children and youth in school.
       ``(8) Pregnant and parenting teens are a high at-risk group 
     for dropping out of school and should be targeted by dropout 
     prevention programs.
       ``(9) Such youth need a strong dropout prevention program 
     which provides them with high level skills and which provides 
     supports to youth returning from correctional facilities in 
     order to keep them in school.
       ``(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this part--
       ``(1) to improve educational services to children in local 
     and State institutions for delinquent children so that they 
     have the opportunity to meet the same challenging State 
     performance standards that all children in the State will be 
     expected to meet;
       ``(2) to provide such children the services they need to 
     make a successful transition from institutionalization to 
     further schooling or employment; and
       ``(3) to prevent at-risk youth from dropping out of school 
     and to provide dropouts and youth returning from institutions 
     with a support system to ensure their continued education.
       ``(c) Program Authorized.--In order to carry out the 
     purpose of this part, the Secretary shall make grants to 
     State educational agencies, which shall make subgrants to 
     State agencies and local educational agencies to establish or 
     improve programs of education for delinquent children and 
     youth at risk of dropping out of school before graduation.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) reaching the National Education Goals requires a 
     comprehensive educational reform strategy that involves 
     parents, schools, government, communities, and other public 
     and private organizations at all levels;
       ``(2) a crucial component of the strategy for achieving 
     these goals is ensuring, through sustained and intensive 
     high-quality professional development, and through the 
     development and adoption of high quality curriculum, that all 
     teachers are capable of providing challenging learning 
     experiences in the core academic subjects for their students;
       ``(3) decisionmaking as to what activities a State or local 
     educational agency should undertake to improve teaching and 
     learning are best made by individuals in the schools closest 
     to the classroom and most knowledgeable about the needs of 
     schools and students;
       ``(4) the potential positive impact of high-quality 
     professional development is underscored by recent research 
     findings that--
       ``(A) professional development must be focused on teaching 
     and learning in order to change the opportunities of all 
     students to achieve higher standards; and
       ``(B) effective professional development focuses on 
     discipline-based knowledge and subject-specific pedagogical 
     skills, involves teams of teachers and administrators in a 
     school and, through professional networks of teachers and 
     administrators, is interactive and collaborative, motivates 
     by its intrinsic content and relationship to practice, builds 
     on experience and learning-by-doing, and becomes incorporated 
     into the everyday life of the school;
       ``(5) engaging teachers in the development of high quality 
     curricula is a powerful professional development activity 
     that improves teaching and learning;
       ``(6) special attention must be given in professional 
     development activities to ensure that education professionals 
     are knowledgeable of, and make use of, strategies for serv- 

[[Page 414]]

     ing populations that historically have lacked access to equal 
     opportunities for advanced learning and career advancement;
       ``(7) States and local educational agencies also need to 
     engage teachers in the development of high quality curricula 
     that are aligned with State or local content and performance 
     standards in order to improve teaching and learning and 
     ensure that students achieve the State standards;
       ``(8) professional development is often a victim of budget 
     reductions in fiscally difficult times and curricula 
     development is almost nonexistent in many State and local 
     school systems; and

     ``SEC. 2201. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that chapter 2 of the 
     Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 has been 
     successful in achieving the goals of increasing local 
     flexibility, reducing administrative burden, providing 
     services for private school students, encouraging innovation, 
     and contributing to the improvement of elementary and 
     secondary educational programs.
       ``(b) Statement of Purpose.--It is the purpose of programs 
     under this part:
       ``(1) To support local education reform efforts which are 
     consistent with and support statewide reform efforts under 
     the Goals 2000 Educate America Act.
       ``(2) To support State and local efforts to accomplish the 
     National Education Goals.
       ``(3) To provide funding to enable State and local 
     educational agencies to implement promising educational 
     reform programs that can be supported by State and local 
     sources of funding after such programs are demonstrated to be 
     effective.
       ``(4) To provide a continuing source of innovation, 
     educational improvement, and support for library services and 
     instructional materials, including media materials and,
       ``(5) To meet the special educational needs of at risk and 
     high cost students.
       ``(c) State and Local Responsibility.--The basic 
     responsibility for the administration of funds made available 
     under this part is within the State educational agencies, but 
     it is the intent of Congress that the responsibility be 
     carried out with a minimum of paperwork and that the 
     responsibility for the design and implementation of programs 
     assisted under this part will be mainly that of local 
     educational agencies, school superintendents and principals, 
     and classroom teachers and supporting personnel, because they 
     have the most direct contact with students and are most 
     likely to be able to design programs to meet the educational 
     needs of students in their own districts.

       ``(a) Maintenance of Effort.--(1) Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), a State is entitled to receive its full 
     allocation of funds under this part for any fiscal year if 
     the Secretary finds that either the combined fiscal effort 
     per student or the aggregate expenditures within the State 
     with respect to the provision of free public education for 
     the preceding fiscal year was not less than 90 percent of 
     such combined fiscal effort or aggregate expenditures for the 
     second preceding fiscal year.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall reduce the amount of the 
     allocation of funds under this part in any fiscal year in the 
     exact proportion to which the State fails to meet the 
     requirements of paragraph (1) by falling below 90 percent of 
     both the fiscal effort per student and aggregate expenditures 
     (using the measure most favorable to the State), and no such 
     lesser amount shall be used for computing the effort required 
     under paragraph (1) for subsequent years.

     provision of law a State or local educational agency is 
     prohibited from providing for the participation in programs

     including the administrative costs of arranging for those 
     services, from the appropriate allotment of the State under

     action under this section until the State educational agency 
     and the local educational agency affected by such action have

     appear before the Secretary or the Secretary's designee to 
     show cause why that action should not be taken.

     by substantial evidence, shall be conclusive; but the court, 
     for good cause shown, may remand the case to the Secretary to 
     take further evidence and the Secretary may thereupon make 
     new or modified findings of fact and may modify the 
     Secretary's previous action, and shall file in the court the 
     record of the further proceedings. Such new or modified 
     findings of fact shall likewise be conclusive if supported by

     improvements in teaching and learning achieved through the 
     implementation of programs under this Act;
       ``(2) comprehensive technical assistance is an essential 
     ingredient of the overall strategy of the 1994 
     reauthorization of this Act to improve programs and to 
     provide all children opportunities to meet challenging State 
     performance standards;
       ``(3) States, local educational agencies, and schools 
     serving students with special needs,

     need for comprehensive technical assistance in order to use 
     funds under this Act to provide such students with 
     opportunities to meet challenging State standards;

     children to reach challenging State performance standards, as 
     they implement programs under this Act;

     `one-stop shopping' to help States, local educational 
     agencies, participating colleges and universities, and 
     schools integrate Federal, State, and local education 
     programs in ways that contribute to improving schools and 
     entire school systems; and

     students are recognized and developed during their elementary 
     and secondary school years, much of their special potential

     lost;
       ``(5) gifted and talented students from economically 
     disadvantaged families and areas, and students of limited 
     English proficiency are at greatest risk of being 
     unrecognized and of not being provided adequate or

       ``(6) State and local educational agencies and private 
     nonprofit schools often lack the necessary specialized 
     resources to plan and implement effective programs for the 
     early identification of gifted and talented students for the 
     provision of educational services and programs appropriate to 
     their special needs;
       ``(7) the Federal Government can best carry out the limited 
     but essential role of stimulating research and development

     of information and technical assistance that is necessary to 
     ensure that the Nation's schools are able to meet the special 
     educational needs of gifted and talented students, and 
     thereby serve a profound national interest; and
       ``(8) the experience and knowledge gained in developing and 
     implementing programs for gifted and talented students can 
     and should be used as a basis to develop a rich and 
     challenging curriculum for all students.

     ``TITLE IV--SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES

     ``SEC. 4001. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This title may be cited as the `Safe and Drug-Free 
     Schools and Communities Act of 1994'.

     ``SEC. 4002. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(1) National Education Goal Six provides that by the year 
     2000, all schools in America will be free of drugs and 
     violence and offer a disciplined environment that is 
     conducive to learning.
       ``(2) The widespread illegal use of alcohol and other drugs 
     among the Nation's secondary school students, and 
     increasingly by students in elementary schools as well, 
     constitutes a grave threat to their physical and mental well-
     being, and significantly impedes the learning process. For 
     example, data show that students who drink tend to receive 
     lower grades and are more likely to miss school because of 
     illness than students who do not drink.
       ``(3) Our Nation's schools and communities are increasingly 
     plagued by violence and crime. Approximately three million 
     thefts and violent crimes occur in or near our Nation's 
     schools every year, the equivalent of more than 16,000 
     incidents per school day. Approximately one of every five 
     high school students now carries a firearm, knife, or club on 
     a regular basis.
       ``(4) The tragic consequences of violence and the illegal 
     use of alcohol and drugs by students are felt not only by 
     students and their families, but by their communities and the 
     Nation, which can ill afford to lose their skills, talents, 
     and vitality.
       ``(5) While use of illegal drugs is a serious problem among 
     a minority of teenagers, alcohol use is far more widespread. 
     The proportion of high school students using alcohol, though 
     lower than a decade ago, remains unacceptably high. By the 
     8th grade, 70 percent of youth report having tried alcohol 
     and by the 12th grade, about 88 percent have used alcohol. 
     Alcohol use by young people can and does have adverse 
     consequences for users, their families, communities, schools, 
     and colleges.
       ``(6) Drug and violence prevention programs are essential 
     components of a comprehensive strategy to promote school 
     safety and to reduce the demand for and use of drugs 
     throughout the Nation. Schools and local organizations in 
     communities throughout the Nation have a special 
     responsibility to work together to combat the growing 
     epidemic of violence and illegal drug use and should measure 
     the success of their programs against clearly defined goals 
     and objectives.
       ``(7) Students must take greater responsibility for their 
     own well-being, health, and safety if schools and communities 
     are to achieve their goals of providing a safe, disciplined, 
     and drug-free learning environment.

     ``SEC. 4003. PURPOSE.

       ``The purpose of this title is to support programs to meet 
     Goal Six of the National Educational Goals by preventing 
     violence in and around schools and by strengthening programs 
     that prevent the illegal use of alcohol and drugs, involve 
     parents, and are coordinated with related Federal, State, and 
     community efforts and resources, through the provision of 
     Federal assistance to--
       ``(1) States for grants to local and intermediate 
     educational agencies and consortia to establish, operate, and 
     improve local programs of school drug and violence 
     prevention, early intervention, rehabilitation referral, and 
     education in elementary and secondary schools (including 
     intermediate and junior high schools);
       ``(2) States for grants to local and intermediate 
     educational agencies and consortia for grants to, and 
     contracts with, community-based organizations and other 
     public and private non-profit agencies and organizations for 
     programs of drug and violence prevention, early intervention, 
     rehabilitation referral, and education;
       ``(3) States for development, training, technical 
     assistance, and coordination activities;
       ``(4) public and private non-profit organizations to 
     conduct training, demonstrations, and evaluation, and to 
     provide supplementary services for the prevention of drug use 
     and violence among students and youth; and
       ``(5) institutions of higher education for the development 
     and implementation of model programs and strategies to 
     promote the safety of students attending institutions of 
     higher education by preventing violent behavior and the 
     illegal use of alcohol and drugs by such students.

     ``SEC. 4004. FUNDING.

       ``(a) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are 
     authorized to be appropriated--
       ``(1) for State grants under part A, such sums as may be 
     necessary for each of fiscal years 1995 through 1999; and
       ``(2) for national programs under part B, such sums as may 
     be necessary for each of fiscal years 1995 through 1999.

                       ``PART A--PROMOTING EQUITY

     ``SEC. 5101. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) magnet schools are a significant part of our Nation's 
     effort to achieve voluntary desegregation in its schools;
       ``(2) the use of magnet schools has increased dramatically 
     since enactment of the magnet program, with approximately 1.4 
     million students nationwide now attending such schools, of 
     which more than 60 percent of the students are nonwhite;
       ``(3) magnet schools offer a wide range of distinctive 
     programs that have served as models for school improvement 
     efforts;
       ``(4) in administering this program, the Federal Government 
     has learned that--
       ``(A) where magnet programs are implemented for only a 
     portion of a school's student body, special efforts must be 
     made to discourage the isolation of magnet students from 
     other students in the school;
       ``(B) local educational agencies can maximize their 
     effectiveness in achieving the purposes of this program if 
     they have more flexibility to serve students attending a 
     school who are not enrolled in the magnet school program;
       ``(C) local educational agencies must be creative in 
     designing magnet schools for students at all academic levels, 
     so that school districts do not skim off only the highest 
     achieving students to attend the magnet schools;
       ``(D) local educational agencies must seek to enable 
     participation in magnet school programs by students who 
     reside in the neighborhoods where the programs are placed; 
     and
       ``(E) in order to ensure that magnet schools are sustained 
     after Federal funding ends, the Federal Government must 
     assist local educational agencies to improve their capacity 
     to continue to operate magnet schools at a high level of 
     performance;
       ``(5) it is in the best interest of the Federal Government 
     to--
       ``(A) continue its support of local educational agencies 
     implementing court-ordered desegregation plans and local 
     educational agencies seeking to foster meaningful interaction 
     among students of different 
     racial and ethnic backgrounds beginning at the earliest stage 
     of their education;
       ``(B) ensure that all students have equitable access to 
     quality education that will prepare them to function well in 
     a culturally diverse, technologically-oriented, and highly 
     competitive global community; and
       ``(C) maximize the ability of local educational agencies to 
     plan, develop, implement and continue new and innovative 
     programs in magnet schools that contribute to State and local 
     systemic reform.

     ``SEC. 5102. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

     desegregation of local educational agencies by providing

     group isolation in elementary and secondary schools with 
     substantial proportions of minority students;
       ``(2) the development and implementation of magnet school 
     projects that will assist local educational agencies in 
     achieving systemic reforms and providing all students the 
     opportunity to meet challenging State performance standards;
       ``(3) the development and design of innovative educational 
     methods and practices; and
       ``(4) courses of instruction within magnet schools that 
     will substantially strengthen the knowledge of academic 
     subjects and the grasp of tangible and marketable vocational

     ``SEC. 6001. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the Federal Government has a special responsibility 
     to ensure that educational programs for all American Indian 
     and Alaska Native children and adults--
       ``(A) are based on high-quality, internationally 
     competitive content and student performance standards and 
     build on Indian culture and the Indian community;
       ``(B) assist local educational agencies, Indian tribes, and 
     others in providing Indian students the opportunity to 
     achieve those standards; and
       ``(C) meet the special educational and culturally related 
     academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students;
       ``(2) since enactment of the original Indian Education Act 
     in 1972, Indian parents have become significantly more 
     involved in the planning, development, and implementation of 
     educational programs that affect them and their children, and 
     schools should continue to foster such involvement;
       ``(3) although the numbers of Indian teachers, 
     administrators, and university professors have increased 
     since 1972, teacher training programs are not recruiting, 
     training, or retraining sufficient numbers of Indian persons 
     as educators to meet the needs of a growing Indian student 
     population in elementary, secondary, vocational, adult, and 
     higher education;
       ``(4) the dropout rate for Indian students is unacceptably 
     high; for example, nine percent of Indian students who were 
     eighth graders in 1988 had already dropped out of school by 
     1990;
       ``(5) from 1980 to 1990, the percentage of Indian persons 
     living in poverty increased from 24 percent to 31 percent, 
     and the readiness of Indian children to learn is hampered by 
     the high incidence of poverty, unemployment, and health 
     problems among Indian children and families; and
       ``(6) research related specifically to the education of 
     Indian children and adults is very limited, and much of it is 
     poor in quality or focused on limited local or regional 
     issues.

       ``(a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to support 
     the efforts of local educational agencies, Indian tribes and 
     organizations, postsecondary institutions, and other entities 
     to meet the special educational and culturally related 
     academic needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, so 
     that they can achieve to the same challenging State 
     performance standards expected of all students.

     which the school is located; or

     such local agency for the preceding fiscal year, computed on 
     either a per-student or aggregate expenditure basis, was not

     tribal governing body, and designated local school board, 
     will be notified as soon as such consideration or review 
     begins, kept fully and currently informed, and afforded an 
     opportunity to comment with respect to such consideration or 
     review. When a formal decision is made to close, transfer to 
     any other authority, consolidate, or substantially curtail a 
     school, the affected tribe, tribal governing body, and

     population, with every effort to identify those students with 
     particular educational and social needs, and to insure that 
     alternative services are available to such students. Such 
     report shall include the description of the consultation 
     conducted between the potential service provider, current 
     service provider, parents, tribal representative and the 
     tribe or tribes involved, and the Director of the Office of 
     Indian Education Programs within the Bureau regarding such 
     students. No irreversible action may be taken in furtherance 
     of any such proposed school closure, transfer to any other 
     authority, consolidation, or substantial curtailment

     ``SEC. 6707. ALLOTMENT FORMULA.

       ``(a) The Secretary shall establish, by regulation adopted 
     in accordance with section 6719, a formula for determining 
     the minimum annual amount of funds necessary to sustain each 
     Bureau funded school. In establishing such formula, the 
     Secretary shall consider--
       ``(1) the number of eligible Indian students served and 
     size of the school;
       ``(2) special cost factors, such as--
       ``(A) isolation of the school;
       ``(B) need for special staffing, transportation, or 
     educational programs;
       ``(C) food and housing costs;
       ``(D) maintenance and repair costs associated with the 
     physical condition of the educational facilities;
       ``(E) special transportation and other costs of isolated 
     and small schools;
       ``(F) the costs of boarding arrangements, where determined 
     necessary by a tribal governing body or designated local 
     school board;
       ``(G) costs associated with greater lengths of service by 
     educational personnel; and
       ``(H) special programs for gifted and talented students;
       ``(3) the cost of providing academic services which are at 
     least equivalent to those provided by public schools in the 
     State in which the school is located;
       ``(4) such other relevant factors as the Secretary 
     determines are appropriate.

     Upon the establishment of the standards required by sections 
     6701 and 6702 of this Act, the Secretary shall revise the 
     formula established under this subsection to reflect the cost 
     and funding standards so established. Prior to January 1, 
     1995, the Secretary shall review the formula established 
     under this section and shall take such steps as may be 
     necessary to increase the availability of

[[Page 443]]

     counseling services for students in off-reservation boarding 
     schools and other Bureau operated residential facilities. 
     Concurrent with such action, the Secretary shall review the 
     standards established under section 6701 of this title to be 
     certain that adequate provision is made for parental 
     notification regarding, and consent for, such counseling 
     services.
       ``(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, Federal 
     funds appropriated for the general local operation of Bureau 
     funded schools, shall be allotted pro rata in accordance with 
     the formula established under subsection (a).
       ``(c)(1) For fiscal year 1990, and for each subsequent 
     fiscal year, the Secretary shall adjust the formula 
     established under subsection (a) to--
       ``(A) use a weighted unit of 1.2 for each eligible Indian 
     student enrolled in the seventh and eighth grades of the 
     school in considering the number of eligible Indian students 
     served by the school;
       ``(B) consider a school with an enrollment of less than 50 
     eligible Indian students as having an average daily 
     attendance of 50 eligible Indian students for purposes of 
     implementing the adjustment factor for small schools; and
       ``(C) take into account the provision of residential 
     services on a less than 9-month basis at a school when the 
     school board and supervisor of the school determine that a 
     less than 9-month basis will be implemented for the school 
     year involved.
       ``(2)(A) The Secretary shall reserve for national school 
     board training 0.2 percent of the funds appropriated for each 
     fiscal year for distribution under this section. Such 
     training shall be conducted through the same organizations 
     through which, and in the same manner in which, the training 
     was conducted in fiscal year 1992. If the contract for such 
     training is not awarded before May 1 of each fiscal year, the 
     contract under which such training was provided for the 
     fiscal year preceding such fiscal year shall be renewed by 
     the Secretary for such fiscal year. The agenda for the 
     training sessions shall be established by the school boards 
     through their regional or national organizations.
       ``(B) For each year in which the Secretary uses a weighted 
     unit formula established under subsection (a) to fund Bureau 
     schools, a Bureau school which generates less than 168 
     weighted units shall receive an additional 2 weighted units 
     to defray school board activities.
       ``(C) From the funds allotted in accordance with the 
     formula established under subsection (a) for each Bureau 
     school, the local school board of such school may reserve an 
     amount which does not exceed the greater of--
       ``(i) $5,000, or
       ``(ii) the lesser of--
       ``(I) $15,000, or
       ``(II) 1 percent of such allotted funds,
     for school board activities for such school, including but 
     not limited to, and notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, meeting expenses and the cost of membership in, and 
     support of, organizations engaged in activities on behalf of 
     Indian education.
       ``(3)(A) The Secretary shall adjust the formula established 
     under subsection (a) to use a weighted unit of 2.0 for each 
     eligible Indian student that--
       ``(i) is gifted and talented (as determined pursuant to 
     section 6204 of the Indian Education Act of 1988), and
       ``(ii) is enrolled in the school on a full-time basis,

     in considering the number of eligible Indian students served 
     by the school.
       ``(B) The adjustment required under subparagraph (A) shall 
     be used for the later of the following fiscal years and for 
     each fiscal year succeeding such later fiscal year:
       ``(i) the second fiscal year succeeding the fiscal year in 
     which the Secretary of Education makes the report required 
     under section 6204(c)(6)(B) of the Indian Education Act of 
     1988, or
       ``(ii) the first fiscal year for which an increase in the 
     amount of funds appropriated for allotment under this section 
     is designated by the law that appropriates such funds as the 
     amount necessary to implement such adjustment without 
     reducing allotments made under this section to any school.
       ``(d) The Secretary shall reserve from the funds available 
     for distribution for each fiscal year under this section an 
     amount which, in the aggregate, shall equal 1 percent of the 
     funds available for such purpose for that fiscal year. Such 
     funds shall be used, at the discretion of the Director of the 
     Office, to meet emergencies and unforeseen contingencies 
     affecting the education programs funded under this section. 
     Funds reserved under this subsection may only be expended for 
     education services or programs at a schoolsite (as defined in 
     section 5204(c)(2) of the Tribally Controlled Schools Act of 
     1988). Funds reserved under this subsection shall remain 
     available without fiscal year limitation until expended. 
     However, the aggregate amount available from all fiscal years 
     may not exceed 1 percent of the current year funds. Whenever 
     the Secretary makes funds available under this subsection, 
     the Secretary shall report such action to the appropriate 
     committees of Congress within the annual budget submission.
       ``(e) Supplemental appropriations enacted to meet increased 
     pay costs attributable to school level personnel shall be 
     distributed under this section.
       ``(f) In this section `eligible Indian student' means a 
     student who--
       ``(1) is a member of or is at least a \1/4\ degree Indian 
     blood descendant of a member of an Indian tribe which is 
     eligible for the special programs and services provided by 
     the United States through the Bureau of Indian Affairs to 
     Indians because of their status as Indians, and
       ``(2) resides on or near an Indian reservation or meets the 
     criteria for attendance at a Bureau off-reservation boarding 
     school.
       ``(g)(1) An eligible Indian student may not be charged 
     tuition for attendance at a Bureau or contract school. A 
     student attending a Bureau school under clause (2)(C) of this 
     subsection may not be charged tuition.
       ``(2) The Secretary may permit the attendance at a Bureau 
     school of a student who is not an eligible Indian student 
     if--
       ``(A) the Secretary determines that the student's 
     attendance will not adversely affect the school's program for 
     eligible Indian students because of cost, overcrowding, or 
     violation of standards,
       ``(B) the school board consents, and
       ``(C) the student is a dependent of a Bureau, Indian Health 
     Service, or tribal government employee who lives on or near 
     the school site, or
       ``(D) a tuition is paid for the student that is not more 
     than that charged by the nearest public school district for 
     out-of-district students. The tuition collected is in 
     addition to the school's allocation under this section.
       ``(3) The school board of a contract school or grant school 
     may permit students who are not eligible Indian students 
     under this subsection to attend its contract school or grant 
     school and any tuition collected for those students is in 
     addition to funding under this section.
       ``(h)(1) The Secretary shall conduct, through contact or 
     cooperative agreement with an entity having proven expertise 
     in the field of school finance, and after consultation with 
     tribes and national Indian organizations, a study to 
     determine the feasibility and desirability of changing the 
     method of financing for Bureau funded schools from the 
     weighted student unit formula method in effect on the date of 
     enactment of this Act to a school based budget system of 
     financing. The Assistant Secretary shall take such steps as 
     are necessary to immediately implement this provision.
       ``(2) For the purposes of this study, the term `school-
     based budget system' means a system based upon an initial 
     determination, at each school site, of the number of students 
     who shall be served at the site, the needs of those students, 
     the standards which will best meet those needs (including any 
     standards or conditions reflecting local community input and 
     the program developed under this part), the personnel profile 
     necessary to establish such program and the cost (determined 
     on an actual basis) of funding such a program. Such a system 
     would include procedures to aggregate the determinations for 
     each school site to determine the amount needed to fund all 
     Bureau-funded schools, to prepare a budget submission based 
     upon such aggregate and would provide for a mechanism for 
     distributing such sums as may be appropriated based upon the 
     determination at each school site.
       ``(3) No later than January 20, 1996, the Secretary shall 
     transmit to the Committees on Education and Labor and 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committees on Indian Affairs and Appropriations of the Senate 
     of the United States the study required under this 
     subsection, along with any views or comments of the Secretary 
     on such study.

     election of the school board made at any time during the 
     fiscal year, a portion equal to no more than 15 percent of 
     the funds allocated with respect to a school under this 
     section for any fiscal year shall remain available to the 
     school for expenditure without fiscal year limitation. The 
     Assistant Secretary shall take steps as may be necessary to 
     implement this provision immediately.
       ``(j) Tuition for the out-of-State students boarding at the 
     Richfield Dormitory in Richfield, Utah, who attend Sevier 
     County high schools in Richfield, Utah, may be paid from the 
     Indian School Equalization Program funds at a rate not to 
     exceed the amount per Weighted Student Unit for that year for 
     instruction. No additional administrative cost funds will be 
     added to the grant.

     ``SEC. 6708. ADMINISTRATIVE COST GRANTS.

       ``(a)(1) The Secretary shall, subject to the availability 
     of appropriated funds, provide grants to each tribe or tribal 
     organization operating a contract or grant school in the 
     amount determined under this section with respect to the 
     tribe or tribal organization for the purpose of paying the 
     administrative and indirect costs incurred in operating 
     contract schools in order to--
       ``(A) enable tribes and tribal organizations operating such 
     schools, without reducing direct program services to the 
     beneficiaries of the program, to provide all related 
     administrative overhead services and operations necessary to 
     meet the requirements of law and prudent management practice,

     would otherwise be provided by the Secretary or other Federal 
     officers or employees, from resources other than direct 
     program funds, in support of comparable Bureau operated

       ``(2) Amounts appropriated to fund the grants provided 
     under this section shall be in addition to, and shall not 
     reduce, the amounts appropriated for the program being 
     administered by the contract schools.

     or tribal organization to the aggregate of the Bureau 
     elementary and secondary functions operated by the tribe or 
     tribal organization for which funds are received from or 
     through the Bureau. The administrative cost percentage rate 
     determined under subsection (c) does not apply to other 
     programs operated by the tribe or tribal organization.

     Secretary of Indian Affairs shall provide for the utilization

       ``This title may be cited as the `Bilingual Education Act'.

     ``SEC. 7002. FINDINGS, POLICY, AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) language-minority Americans constitute a large and 
     growing proportion of the Nation's population;
       ``(2) language-minority Americans speak virtually all world 
     languages plus many that are indigenous to the United States;
       ``(3) the presence of language-minority Americans is 
     related in part to Federal immigration policies;
       ``(4) many language-minority Americans are limited in their 
     English proficiency, and many have limited education and 
     income;
       ``(5) limited-English-proficient children and youth, like 
     all other children and youth, have diverse educational needs 
     and strengths and therefore require access to all educational 
     programs and services;
       ``(6) the Federal Government has a responsibility for the 
     education of American Indians and a special obligation to 
     Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians and native residents of the 
     territories and freely associated nations to redress the 
     effect of past Federal policies;
       ``(7) institutions of higher education can assist in 
     preparing teachers, administrators and other school personnel 
     to understand and build upon the educational strengths and 
     needs of language-minority and culturally diverse student 
     enrollments;
       ``(8) it is the purpose of this title to help ensure that 
     limited-English-proficient students master English and 
     develop high levels of academic attainment in content areas;
       ``(9) quality bilingual education programs enable children 
     and youth to learn English and meet high academic standards 
     including proficiency in more than one language;
       ``(10) as the world becomes increasingly interdependent and 
     as international communication becomes a daily occurrence in 
     government, business, commerce, and family life, multilingual 
     skills constitute an important national resource which 
     deserves protection and development;
       ``(11) educational technology has the potential for 
     improving the education of language-minority and limited-
     English-proficient students and their families, and the 
     Federal Government should foster this development;
       ``(12) research, development, implementation and 
     dissemination of effective bilingual education methods, 
     practices, and programs for limited-English-proficient 
     children are essential to systemwide school reform that 
     improves education for all children; and
       ``(13) a recognized means by which a child learns is 
     through the use of the child's native language, cultural 
     heritage, and instructional programs which use and build upon 
     a child's non-English native language and cultural heritage 
     to promote parent and community involvement in education, 
     student self-esteem, proficiency in English, and subject 
     matter achievement.
       ``(b) Policy.--The Congress declares it to be the policy of 
     the United States, in order to ensure equal educational 
     opportunity for all children and youth and to promote 
     educational excellence, to assist State and local educational 
     agencies, institutions of higher education, and community-
     based organizations to build their capacity to establish, 
     implement, and sustain programs of instruction for language 
     minority and limited-English-proficient children and youth.
       ``(c) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to educate 
     language minority and limited-English-proficient children and 
     youth to meet the same rigorous standards for academic 
     performance expected of all children and youth, including 
     meeting challenging State performance standards in academic 
     areas by developing--
       ``(1) systemic improvement and reform of educational 
     programs serving language-minority and limited-English-
     proficient students through the development and 
     implementation of exemplary bilingual education programs and 
     special alternative instruction programs;
       ``(2) data collection and dissemination, research, 
     materials development, and technical assistance which is 
     focused on school improvement for language-minority and 
     limited-English-proficient students; and
       ``(3) programs which strengthen and improve the 
     professional training of educational personnel who work with 
     limited-English-proficient and language-minority students.

     normally used by the parents of the child.

     programs for limited-English-proficient students which make 
     instructional use of both English and a student's native 
     language. Programs of bilingual education must enable 
     limited-English-proficient students to achieve English 
     proficiency and academic mastery of subject matter content 
     and higher order skills, including critical thinking, so as 
     to meet age-appropriate grade-promotion and graduation 
     standards in concert with national education goals. Bilingual 
     education programs may also develop the native language 
     skills of limited-English-proficient students, or ancestral 
     languages of American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Native 
     Hawaiians and native residents of the territories and freely 
     associated nations. English proficient students may 
     participate in bilingual education programs if the programs 
     are designed to enable all enrolled students to become 
     proficient in English and a second language.
       ``(5) The term `special alternative instructional program' 
     refers to educational programs for limited-English-proficient 
     students which utilize specially designed English language 
     curricula and services but do not use the student's native 
     language for instructional purposes. Special alternative 
     instructional programs must enable limited-English-proficient 
     students to achieve English proficiency and academic mastery 
     of subject matter content and higher order skills, including 
     critical thinking so as to meet age-appropriate grade-
     promotion and graduation standards in concert with national 
     education goals. Special alternative instructional programs 
     are suitable for schools where the diversity of the limited-
     English-proficient students' native languages and the small 
     number of students speaking each respective language makes 
     bilingual education impractical and where there is a critical 
     shortage of bilingual education teachers.
       ``(6) The term `family education programs' refers to 
     bilingual education or special alternative instructional 
     programs designed to help limited-English-proficient adults 
     and out-of-school youths achieve proficiency in the English 
     language and to provide instruction on how parents and family 
     members can facilitate the educational achievement of their 
     children. When feasible, instructional

     Literacy Programs that promote adult literacy and train 
     parents to support the educational growth of their children 
     shall be developed. Programs shall give preference to 
     participation by parents and immediate family members of 
     children attending school. Family education programs may also 
     provide instruction to facilitate higher education and 
     employment outcomes.

     accordance with criteria established by the Secretary, unless 
     the Secretary determines, after notice and opportunity for a 
     hearing to the affected State educational agency, that such 
     data or estimate are clearly erroneous.

     use such additional amount of carrying out such purpose. Any 
     amount made available to a State from any appropriation for a 
     fiscal year in accordance with the preceding sentence shall,

     educational agencies within the State with a sudden influx of

       ``In order to fulfill the Federal responsibility to assist 
     with the provision of educational services to federally 
     connected children, and to help them meet challenging State

     burden due to the acquisition of real property by the United 
     States;

     of per-pupil expenditures made by, or per-pupil revenues 
     available to, the local educational agency in the State with 
     the highest such per-pupil expenditures or revenues did not 
     exceed the amount of such per-pupil expenditures made by, or 
     per-pupil revenues available to, the local educational agency 
     in the State with the lowest such expenditures or revenues by 
     more than 10 percent.

     expenditures or revenues above the 95th percentile or below 
     the 5th percentile of such expenditures or revenues in the

     public education in particular types of local educational 
     agencies, such as those that are geographically isolated, or 
     to particular types of students, such as children with 
     disabilities.

     Secretary determines that the State has substantially revised 
     its program of State aid, the Secretary may certify such 
     program for any fiscal year only if--

     data, that the State's program will meet the 10 percent 
     disparity standard described in paragraph (2) in that fiscal 
     year; and

     that, if final data do not demonstrate that the State's 
     program met such standard for that year (or that it met such 
     standard with a greater percentage of disparity than 
     anticipated), the State will pay to each affected local 
     educational agency the amount by which it reduced State aid 
     to the local educational agency on the basis of such 
     certification, or a proportionate share thereof, as the case 
     may be.

                ``TITLE X--COORDINATED SERVICES PROJECTS

     ``SEC. 10001. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       ``(1) Growing numbers of children are negatively affected 
     by influences outside of the classroom which increase their 
     risk of academic failure.
       ``(2) Factors such as poor nutrition, unsafe living 
     conditions, physical and sexual abuse, family and gang 
     violence, inadequate health care, unemployment, lack of child 
     care and substance abuse adversely affect family 
     relationships and the ability of a child to learn.
       ``(3) Parents and other caregivers in today's high pressure 
     society often face demands which place restraints on their 
     time and affect their ability to adequately provide for the 
     needs of their families.
       ``(4) Access to health and social service programs can 
     address the basic physical and emotional needs of children so 
     that they can fully participate in the learning experiences 
     offered them in school.
       ``(5) Services for at-risk students need to be more 
     convenient, less fragmented, regulated and duplicative in 
     order to meet the needs of children and their families.
       ``(6) School personnel, parents, and support service 
     providers often lack knowledge of, and access to, available 
     services for at-risk students and their families in the 
     community, and have few resources to coordinate services and 
     make them accessible.
       ``(7) Service providers, such as teachers, social workers, 
     health care and child care providers, juvenile justice 
     workers and others, are often trained in separate disciplines 
     that provide little support for the coordination of services.
       ``(8) Coordination of services is more cost effective 
     because it substitutes prevention for expensive crisis 
     intervention.
       ``(9) Coordinating health and social services with 
     education can help the Nation meet the National Education 
     Goals by ensuring better outcomes for children.
       ``(b) Purpose of Coordinating Services.--The purpose of 
     this section is to provide elementary and secondary school 
     students and their families better access to the social, 
     health and education services necessary for students to 
     succeed in school and for their families to take an active 
     role in ensuring that children receive the best possible 
     education.

     ``SEC. 10002. DEFINITIONS.

       ``(a) The term `coordinated services project' refers to a 
     comprehensive approach to meeting the educational, health, 
     social service, and other needs of children and their 
     families, including foster children and their foster 
     families, through a communitywide partnership that links 
     public and private agencies providing such services or access 
     to such services through a coordination site at or near a 
     school.

     funds appropriated in accordance with section 1 which shall 
     be available for carrying out the provisions of sections 5, 
     9, 10, and 14. The funds provided under section 1 for the

       ``Applications for construction or modification projects 
     provided for under this Act must be filed by June 30 of the 
     fiscal year prior to the year in which funds are first 
     requested. The Secretary shall use the following order of 
     priority in approving applications under section 5 and funded 
     in accordance with section 1(a)(1) and section 1(a)(2) of 
     this Act. The priority of payment of application under

     eligible for payment. The Secretary shall use the priorities 
     stated in this section in approving applications in the event 
     the funds appropriated under section 1 of this title and 
     remaining available on any such date for payment to local 
     educational agencies are less than the Federal share of the 
     cost of the projects with respect to which applications have 
     been filed prior to such date (and for which funds under 
     section 1 have not already been obligated). Only applications 
     meeting the conditions for approval under this Act (other 
     than section 6(b)(2)(C)) shall be considered applications for 
     purposes of the preceding sentence. Such order of priority 
     shall provide that applications payments based upon increases 
     in the number of children residing on, or residing with a 
     parent employed on property which is party of a low-rent 
     housing project assisted under the United States Housing Act 
     of 1937 shall not be approved for any fiscal year until all 
     other applications under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of 
     section 5 have been approved for the fiscal year.''.

     total of the payments to a local educational agency under 
     this Act may not exceed the sum of--
       ``(1) the estimated increase, since the base year, in the 
     number of children determined with respect to such agency who 
     live on Federal property and have a parent who works on 
     Federal property multiplied by 100 percent of the average per 
     pupil cost of constructing minimum school facilities in the 
     State in which the school district of such agency is 
     situated;
       ``(2) the estimated increase, since the base year, in the 
     number of children determined with respect to such agency who 
     have a parent who lives on or works on Federal property 
     multiplied by 50 percent of such cost;
       ``(3) In computing for any local educational agency the 
     number of children in an increase under paragraph (1) or (2), 
     the estimated number of children described in such paragraph 
     who will be in the membership of the schools of such agency 
     at the close of the increase period shall be compared with 
     the estimated number of such children in average daily 
     membership of the schools of such agency during the base 
     year. However, the base year average daily membership shall 
     be adjusted to exclude the number of children that formed the 
     basis for previous payments on applications approved 30 or 
     more years prior to the close of the increased period for the 
     current application.
       ``(b) If two of the paragraphs of subsection (a) apply to a 
     child, the local educational agency shall elect which of such 
     paragraphs shall apply to such child, except that, 
     notwithstanding the election of a local educational agency to 
     have paragraph (2) apply to a child instead of paragraph (1), 
     the determination of the maximum amount for such agency under 
     subsection (a) shall be made without regard to such election.
       ``(c) A local educational agency shall not be eligible to 
     have any amount included in its maximum by reason of 
     paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (a) unless the 
     increase in children referred to in such paragraph is at 
     least 20, and in the case of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of 
     subsection (a), is--
       ``(1) equal to at least 6 percent of the number of 
     federally connected children who were in the average daily 
     membership of the schools of such agency during the base 
     year, or
       ``(2) at least 750,
     whichever is the lesser.
       ``(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) of 
     this section, whenever and to the extent that, in his 
     judgment, exceptional circumstances exist which make such 
     action necessary to avoid inequity and avoid defeating the 
     purposes of the Act, the Secretary may waive or reduce the 
     minimum number requirement or any percentage requirement or 
     requirements in subsection (c).
       ``(e) In determining under this section the total of the 
     payments which may be made to a local educational agency on 
     the basis of any application, the total number of children 
     counted for purposes of paragraph (1) or (2), as the case may 
     be, of subsection (a) may not exceed--
       ``(1) the number of children whose membership at the close 
     of the increase period for the application is compared with 
     average daily membership in the base period for purposes of 
     that paragraph, provided that the base year average daily 
     membership does not include any children which formed the 
     basis of payment in the applications approved 30 or more 
     years ago, minus
       ``(2) the number of such children whose membership at the 
     close of the increase period was compared with membership in 
     the base year for purposes of such paragraph under the last 
     previous application, provided the application was funded 
     within the last 4 years, if any, of the agency on the basis 
     of which any payments have been or may be made to that 
     agency.''.
       (d) Section 6.--Section 6 of such Act (20 U.S.C. 636) is 
     amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:

     year period, the local educational agency must recertify 
     their need to have the application remain active.''.

     the purpose of collecting such statistics and facts as shall 
     show the condition and progress of education in the several 
     States and territories, and of diffusing such information 
     respecting the organization and management of schools and 
     school systems and methods of teaching as shall aid the

     maintenance of efficient school systems, and otherwise 
     promote the cause of education throughout the country'';
       (2) today, while the role of the current Department of 
     Education is much broader, the National Center for Education

     aid in reform of the Nation's educational systems.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to ensure the 
     continuation of an effective mechanism for collecting and 
     reporting statistics and information showing the condition

       (7) ``United States'' and ``State'' mean--
       (A) other than for the purpose of section 411, each of the 
     50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of

     SEC. 411. NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.

       (a) Establishment.--The Commissioner shall, with the advice 
     of the Governing Board established under section 412, carry 
     out, through grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements 
     with 1 or more qualified organizations, or consortia thereof, 
     a National Assessment of Educational Progress (the ``National 
     Assessment'').
       (b) Purpose; Contents.--(1) The purpose of the National 
     Assessment is to provide a fair and accurate presentation of 
     educational achievement in reading, writing, and other 
     subjects that are included in National Education Goal Three.
       (2) The Commissioner, in carrying out the National 
     Assessment, shall use sampling techniques that produce data 
     that are representative on a national and regional basis and 
     on a State basis pursuant to paragraph (3). In addition, the 
     Commissioner shall--.
       (A) collect and report data on a periodic basis, but at 
     least once every 2 years, on students at ages 9, 13, and 17 
     and in grades 4, 8, and 12 in public and private schools;
       (B) report achievement data on a basis that ensures valid 
     and reliable trend reporting;
       (C) include information on special groups; and
       (D) ensure that achievement data are made available on a 
     timely basis following official reporting, in a manner that 
     facilitates further analysis.
       (3)(A)(i) The Commissioner, in carrying out the National 
     Assessment, may conduct State assessments of student 
     achievement in grades 4, 8, and 12.
       (ii) Each such State assessment, in each subject area and 
     at each grade level shall be conducted on a trial basis.
       (B)(i) States wishing to participate in State assessments 
     shall enter into an agreement with the Secretary pursuant to 
     subsection (d)(2).
       (ii) Such agreement shall contain information sufficient to 
     give States full information about the process for consensus 
     decisionmaking on objectives to be tested, and of the 
     standards for sampling, test administration, test security, 
     data collection, validation, and reporting.
       (C) A participating State shall review and give permission 
     for the release of results from any test of its students 
     administered as a part of a State assessment prior to the 
     release of such data. Refusal by a State to release its data 
     shall not restrict the release of data from other States that 
     have approved the release of such data.
       (4) In carrying out the National Assessment, the 
     Commissioner shall not collect any data that are not directly 
     related to the appraisal of educational performance, 
     achievement, and traditional demographic reporting variables, 
     or to the fair and accurate presentation of such information.
       (5) In carrying out the National Assessment, the 
     Commissioner may provide technical assistance to States, 
     localities, and other parties.
       (c) Access.--(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
     public shall have access to all data, questions, and test 
     instruments of the National Assessment.
       (2)(A) The Commissioner shall ensure that all personally 
     identifiable information about students, their educational 
     performance, and their families, and that information with 
     respect to individual schools, remains confidential, in 
     accordance with section 552a of title 5, United States Code.
       (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     Commissioner may decline to make available to the public for 
     a period, not to exceed 10 years after initial use, cognitive 
     questions that the Commissioner intends to reuse in the 
     future.
       (C)(i) The Commissioner may, upon the request of a State 
     educational agency or a local educational agency, in a 
     limited number of cases and on a trial basis, make National 
     Assessment test instruments available for assessing aggregate 
     student achievement at the local educational agency level.
       (ii)(I) Participation by a local educational agency shall 
     be voluntary.
       (II) A State requesting the participation of a local 
     educational agency must accompany this request with a 
     statement of full written concurrence by such agency and that 
     such agency is requesting to participate in the local 
     assessment.
       (iii) Before receiving such instruments, an agency shall 
     provide the Commissioner with assurances that confidentiality 
     and security requirements and testing protocols, prescribed 
     by the Commissioner, will be complied with in the use of such 
     instruments.
       (d) Participation.--(1) Participation in the national and 
     regional assessments by State and local educational agencies 
     shall be voluntary.
       (2) Participation in assessments made on a State basis 
     shall be voluntary. The Commissioner shall enter into an 
     agreement with any State that desires to carry out an 
     assessment for the State under this subsection. Each such 
     agreement shall contain provisions designed to ensure that 
     the State will--
       (A) participate in the assessment; and
       (B) pay from non-Federal sources the non-Federal share of 
     participation.
       (3)(A) For each fiscal year, the non-Federal share for the 
     purpose of paragraph (2)(B) shall be--
       (i) the cost of conducting the assessment at the school 
     level for all public schools in the State sample, including 
     the analysis and reporting of the data;
       (ii) the cost of coordination within the State; and
       (iii) other reasonable costs specified by the Secretary in 
     the agreement described in paragraph (2).
       (B) The non-Federal share of payments under this paragraph 
     may be in cash or in kind, fairly valued.
       (C) The agreement described in paragraph (2) shall describe 
     the manner in which, the costs of administering the 
     assessment to private nonprofit schools included in the State 
     sample may be met.
       (4) The implementation of subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2) 
     of subsection (d) shall involve no cost to the Federal 
     Government.
       (e) Review of National and State Assessments.--(1) The 
     Commissioner shall provide for continuing reviews by the 
     National Academy of Education or the National Academy of 
     Sciences of the National Assessment, State assessments, local 
     educational agency assessments, and student performance 
     goals. Such reviews shall address whether each trial state 
     assessment is properly administered, produces high quality 
     data that is valid and reliable, produces data on student 
     achievement that is not otherwise available to the State 
     exclusive of data comparing participating States to each 
     other and the Nation, and is a cost-effective method of 
     producing the data. The Commissioner shall also carry out 
     evaluation studies by the Center and solicitation of public 
     comment on the conduct and usefulness of the National 
     Assessment. The Commissioner shall report to the Congress, 
     the President, and the Nation on the findings and 
     recommendations of such reviews.
       (2) The Commissioner shall consider the findings and 
     recommendations in designing the competition to select the 
     organization, or organizations, through which the Office 
     carries out the National Assessment.
       (f) Coverage Agreements.--(1) The Secretary and the 
     Secretary of Defense may enter into an agreement, including 
     such terms as are mutually satisfactory, to include in the 
     National Assessment the defense dependents education system 
     established under the Defense Dependents' Education Act of 
     1978.
       (2) The Secretary and the Secretary of the Interior may 
     enter into an agreement, including such terms as are mutually 
     satisfactory, to include in the National Assessment schools 
     for Indian children operated or supported by the Bureau of 
     Indian Affairs.

 TITLE I--AMENDMENTS TO THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ACT OF 
                                  1965

     SEC. 101. AMENDMENTS TO THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY 
                   EDUCATION ACT OF 1965.

       The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 is 
     amended to read as follows:

     ``SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This Act may be cited as the ``Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965''.
        ``TITLE I--IMPROVED EDUCATION FOR DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN

     ``SEC. 1001. DECLARATION OF POLICY AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Statement of Policy.--The Congress declares it to be 
     the policy of the United States that a high-quality education 
     for all persons and a fair and equal opportunity to obtain 
     such education--
       ``(1) are a societal good necessary for creating a vibrant 
     future for our complex and diverse democracy and for meeting 
     the challenge of an internationally competitive economy;
       ``(2) are a private good because individual opportunity is 
     greatly enhanced by being well educated;
       ``(3) are a moral imperative in our society and simple 
     justice demands that the opportunity to acquire skills and 
     knowledge deemed necessary for basic citizenship and economic 
     opportunity be equally available to all; and
       ``(4) improve the life of every person, because the quality 
     of individual lives ultimately depends on the quality of the 
     lives of others.
       ``(b) Recognition of Need.--The Congress recognizes that--
       ``(1) although the achievement gap between disadvantaged 
     children and other children has been reduced by half over the 
     past two decades, a sizable gap remains, and many segments of 
     our society lack the opportunity to become well educated;
       ``(2) the most urgent need for educational improvement is 
     in schools with high concentrations of children from low-
     income families and achieving the National Education Goals 
     will not be possible without substantial improvement in these 
     schools;
       ``(3) educational needs are particularly great for low-
     achieving children in the highest-poverty schools, children 
     with limited English proficiency, children of migrant 
     workers, Indian children, children who are neglected or 
     delinquent, and young children and their parents who are in 
     need of family-literacy services; and
       ``(4) while title I and other programs funded under this 
     Act contribute to narrowing the achievement gap between 
     children in high-poverty and low-poverty schools, such 
     programs need to become even more effective in improving 
     schools in order to enable all children to achieve high 
     standards.
       ``(c) What Has Been Learned.--To enable schools to provide 
     all children a high-quality education, this title builds upon 
     what has been learned:
       ``(1) All children can master challenging content and 
     complex problem-solving skills and research clearly shows 
     that children, including low-achieving children, can succeed 
     when expectations are high and they are given the opportunity 
     to learn challenging material.
       ``(2) Conditions outside the classroom such as hunger, 
     unsafe living conditions, homelessness, unemployment, 
     violence, inadequate health care, child abuse, and drug and 
     alcohol abuse can adversely affect children's academic 
     achievement and must be addressed through the coordination of 
     services, such as health and social services, in order for 
     the Nation to meet the National Education Goals.
       ``(3) A better understanding of the principles of good 
     health can help children and adolescents succeed in school, 
     become active, productive members of society, and 
     successfully compete in a rapidly changing global economy. 
     Schools that provide quality physical and health education 
     contribute to enhanced knowledge, behavior, and fitness of 
     children and adolescents.
       ``(4) Use of low-level tests that are not aligned with 
     schools' curricula fails to provide adequate information 
     about what children know and can do and encourages curricula 
     and instruction that focus on the low-level skills measured 
     by such tests.
       ``(5) Resources are more effective when they ensure that 
     children have full access to effective regular school 
     programs and receive supplemental help through extended-time 
     activities.
       ``(6) The disproven theory that children must first learn 
     basic skills before engaging in more complex tasks continues 
     to dominate strategies for classroom instruction, resulting 
     in emphasis on repetitive drill and practice at the expense 
     of content-rich instruction, accelerated curricula, and 
     effective teaching to high standards.
       ``(7) Intensive and sustained professional development for 
     teachers and other school staff (focused on teaching and 
     learning and on helping children attain high standards) is 
     too often not provided.
       ``(8) Insufficient attention and resources are directed 
     toward the effective use of technology in schools and the 
     role it can play in professional development and improved 
     teaching and learning.
       ``(9) All parents can contribute to their children's 
     success by helping at home and becoming partners with 
     teachers so that children can achieve high standards.
       ``(10) Decentralized decisionmaking is a key ingredient of 
     systemic reform. Schools need the resources, flexibility, and 
     responsibility to design and implement effective strategies 
     for bringing children to high levels of performance and 
     should accept responsibility to do so.
       ``(11) Opportunities for students to achieve high standards 
     can be enhanced through a variety of approaches such as 
     public school choice and public charter schools.
       ``(12) Attention to academics alone cannot ensure that all 
     children will reach high

[[Page 483]]

     standards. The health and other needs of children that affect 
     learning are frequently unmet, particularly in high-poverty 
     schools, thereby necessitating coordination of services to 
     better meet children's needs.
       ``(13) Resources provided under this title can be better 
     targeted on the highest-poverty local educational agencies 
     and schools that have children most in need.
       ``(d) Statement of Purpose.--The purpose of this title is 
     to enable schools to provide opportunities for children 
     served to acquire the knowledge and skills contained in the 
     rigorous State content standards and to meet the challenging 
     State performance standards developed for all children under 
     the Goals 2000: Educate America Act or, in their absence, 
     under this title. This purpose shall be accomplished by--
       ``(1) ensuring high standards for all children and aligning 
     the efforts of States, local educational agencies, and 
     schools to help children served under this title to reach 
     such standards;
       ``(2) providing children an enriched and accelerated 
     educational program through schoolwide programs or through 
     additional services that increase the amount and quality of 
     instructional time so that children served under this title 
     receive at least the classroom instruction that other 
     children receive;
       ``(3) promoting schoolwide reform and ensuring access of 
     children (from the earliest grades) to effective 
     instructional strategies and challenging academic content 
     that includes intensive complex thinking and problem-solving 
     experiences;
       ``(4) significantly upgrading the quality of curricula and 
     instruction by providing staff in participating schools with 
     substantial opportunities for intensive and sustained 
     professional development;
       ``(5) coordinating services under all parts of this title 
     with each other, with other educational services, and, to the 
     extent feasible, with health and social service programs 
     funded from other sources;
       ``(6) affording parents meaningful opportunities to 
     participate in the education of their children at home and at 
     school;
       ``(7) distributing resources, in amounts sufficient to make 
     a difference, to schools where needs are greatest;
       ``(8) improving accountability, as well as teaching and 
     learning, by using State assessment systems designed to 
     measure how well children are achieving high State standards 
     of performance expected of all children; and
       ``(9) providing greater decisionmaking authority and 
     flexibility to schools and teachers in exchange for greater 
     responsibility for student performance.

     ``SEC. 1111. STATE PLANS.

       ``(a) Plans Required.--(1) Any State desiring to receive a 
     grant under this part shall submit to the Secretary a plan, 
     developed in consultation with local educational agencies, 
     teachers, administrators, and parents, that--
       ``(A)(i) is integrated with the State's plan, either 
     approved or being developed, under title III of the Goals 
     2000: Educate America Act, and satisfies the requirements of 
     this section that are not already addressed by that State 
     plan; and
       ``(ii) is integrated with other State plans, if any, under 
     the School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1993 and the Carl D. 
     Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act, to 
     the extent that these plans have not already been 
     incorporated in the State's plan under title III of the Goals 
     2000: Educate America Act; or
       ``(B) if the State does not have an approved plan under 
     title III of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act and is not 
     developing such a plan--
       ``(i) is integrated with other State plans under this Act 
     and other plans, including those under the School-to-Work 
     Opportunities Act of 1993 and the Carl D. Perkins Vocational 
     and Applied Technology Education Act, where such plans exist; 
     and
       ``(ii) satisfies the requirements of this section.
       ``(2) The plan may be submitted as part of a consolidated 
     application under section 9302.
       ``(3) A State may satisfy all or part of the requirements 
     of this section by referencing applicable sections of its 
     approved State plan under title III of the Goals 2000: 
     Educate America Act.
       ``(b) Standards and Assessment Provisions.--(1)(A) Each 
     State plan shall demonstrate that the State has developed or 
     adopted high-quality standards for children served under this 
     title that will be used by the State, its local educational 
     agencies, and its schools to carry out this Act and that 
     these standards be as challenging and of the same high-
     quality as they are for all children. These standards shall 
     include--
       ``(i) challenging content standards in the core academic 
     subjects that--
       ``(I) specify what children served under this title are 
     expected to know and be able to do;
       ``(II) contain coherent and rigorous content; and
       ``(III) emphasize the teaching of advanced skills;
       ``(ii) challenging performance standards that--
       ``(I) are aligned with the State's content standards;
       ``(II) describe two levels of high performance, 
     `proficient' and `advanced', that determine how well children 
     served under this title are mastering the material in the 
     content standards; and
       ``(III) include a third benchmark below proficient, if 
     necessary, to provide complete information about the progress 
     of the lower-performing children toward achieving the high 
     `proficient' and `advanced' performance standards; and
       ``(iii) model opportunity to learn standards for schools 
     which receive assistance under this title that address--
       ``(I) the alignment of curricula, instructional materials, 
     and other school resources with the content and performance 
     standards adopted by the State;
       ``(II) the capability of teachers to provide high quality 
     instruction within each subject area for which the State has 
     adopted content and performance standards; and
       ``(III) such other factors that the State deems appropriate 
     to ensure that students served under this title receive a 
     fair opportunity to achieve the knowledge and skills 
     described in content and performance standards adopted by the 
     State.
       ``(B) For those core academic subjects in which a State has 
     not adopted challenging content and performance standards, 
     the State plan shall include a schedule for their development 
     that includes the completion of standards in mathematics and 
     reading/language arts by the end of the interim period as 
     described in paragraph (8).
       ``(2)(A) Each State plan shall demonstrate, based on 
     assessments described under paragraph (3), what constitutes 
     adequate yearly progress of--
       ``(i) any school served under this part toward enabling 
     children to meet the State's `proficient' and `advanced' 
     performance standards; and
       ``(ii) any local educational agency that received funds 
     under this part toward enabling children in schools receiving 
     assistance under this part to meet the State's `proficient' 
     and `advanced' performance standards.
       ``(B) Adequate yearly progress shall be defined in a 
     manner--
       ``(i) that is consistent with criteria of general 
     applicability established by the Secretary and results in 
     continuous and substantial yearly improvement for 
     economically disadvantaged, limited-English proficient, and 
     all students under this title in each school and local 
     educational agency toward the goal of all children under this 
     title meeting the State's challenging `advanced' performance 
     standards; and
       ``(ii) links progress primarily to performance on the 
     assessments carried out under this section while permitting 
     progress to be established in part through the use of other 
     outcome-based measures such as reductions in drop-out rates.
       ``(3) Each State plan shall demonstrate that the State has 
     developed or adopted a set of high-quality, yearly student 
     assessments that will be used as the primary means of 
     determining the yearly performance of each local educational 
     agency and school receiving assistance under this part in 
     enabling children served under this title to meet the State's 
     performance standards and that these assessments be 
     challenging and of the

[[Page 484]]

     same high-quality as they are for all children. These 
     assessments shall--
       ``(A) be aligned with the State's challenging content and 
     performance standards and provide coherent information about 
     student attainment of such standards;
       ``(B) be used for purposes for which they are valid and 
     reliable, and be consistent with relevant nationally 
     recognized professional and technical standards of 
     assessments;
       ``(C) shall measure the proficiency of students in the core 
     academic subjects in which a State has adopted challenging 
     content and performance standards and be administered at some 
     time during--
       ``(i) grades 3 through 5;
       ``(ii) grades 6 through 9; and
       ``(iii) grades 10 through 12.
       ``(D) be comprised of multiple, up-to-date measures of 
     student performance;
       ``(E)(i) include limited-English proficient students who 
     shall be assessed, to the extent practicable, in the language 
     and form most likely to yield accurate and reliable 
     information on what these students know and can do, to 
     determine their mastery of skills in subjects other than 
     English;
       ``(ii) include students who have been resident in a local 
     educational agency for a full academic year but have not 
     attended a single school for a full year, provided that the 
     performance of students who have attended more than one 
     school in the local educational agency in any academic year 
     shall be used only in determining the progress of the local 
     educational agency; and
       ``(iii) include students with disabilities who shall be 
     assessed, to the extent practicable, in a manner and form 
     most likely to yield accurate and reliable information on 
     what these students know and can do, including assessment 
     accommodations and modifications necessary to make such 
     determinations, provided that those students who are 
     determined, through valid evaluation conducted by qualified 
     personnel, to be so severely cognitively impaired as to 
     permanently lack the capacity to make any educational 
     progress, with the provision of special education and related 
     services, in meeting the State content and performance 
     standards may be exempted from the assessment process;
       ``(F) provide individual student scores; and
       ``(G) provide for disaggregated results within each State, 
     local educational agency, and school by gender, by each major 
     racial and ethnic group, by English proficiency status, and 
     by economically disadvantaged students as compared to 
     students who are not economically disadvantaged.
       ``(4) Each State plan shall identify the languages other 
     than English that are present in the participating student 
     population and indicate the languages for which yearly 
     student assessments are not available and are needed. The 
     State shall make every effort to develop such assessments and 
     shall notify the Secretary if linguistically-accessible 
     assessment measures are needed. Upon notification, the 
     Secretary shall assist with the identification of appropriate 
     assessment measures in the needed languages through the 
     Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Language Affairs.
       ``(5) If a State has developed or adopted challenging 
     content and performance standards and an aligned set of 
     assessments for all students such as those developed under 
     title III of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, or another 
     process, the State shall use such standards and assessments, 
     modified, if necessary, to conform with the requirements of 
     paragraphs (1)(A)(ii), (2), and (3).
       ``(6) If, after 2 years, a State does not have challenging 
     content and performance standards that meet the requirements 
     of paragraph (1) or after 3 years, a State does not have 
     assessments that meet the requirements of paragraph (3), a 
     State shall adopt a set of standards and aligned assessments 
     such as the standards and assessments contained in other 
     State plans that the Secretary has approved.
       ``(7)(A) If a State does not have assessments that meet the 
     requirements of paragraph (3), the State may propose to use 
     an interim set of yearly statewide assessments that will 
     assess the performance of complex skills and challenging 
     subject matter.
       ``(B) For any year during which a State is using an interim 
     assessment system, the State shall devise a means for 
     identifying schools and local educational agencies in need of 
     improvement under section 1116.
       ``(c) Other Provisions To Support Teaching And Learning.--
     Each State plan shall also describe--
       ``(1)(A) the means by which the State educational agency 
     will work with other agencies, including educational service 
     agencies or other local consortia, and institutions to 
     provide technical assistance to local educational agencies 
     and schools to carry out the State educational agency's 
     responsibilities under this part, including assistance in 
     providing high quality professional development under section 
     1119 and technical assistance under section 1117; and
       ``(B)(i) where educational service agencies exist, the 
     State educational agency shall consider providing 
     professional development and technical assistance through 
     such agencies; and
       ``(ii) where educational service agencies do not exist, the 
     State educational agency shall consider providing 
     professional development and technical assistance through 
     other cooperative agreements such as a consortium of local 
     educational agencies;
       ``(2) the measure of poverty that local educational 
     agencies shall use which shall include such measures as the 
     number of children age 5 to 7 in poverty counted in the most 
     recent census data approved by the Secretary, the number of 
     children eligible to receive free and reduced price lunches 
     under the National School Lunch Act, the number of children 
     in families receiving assistance under Aid to Families With 
     Dependent Children or the number of children eligible to 
     receive medical assistance under the Medicaid program; or a 
     composite of such indicators;
       ``(3) how the State educational agency will notify local 
     educational agencies and the public of the standards and 
     assessments developed under this section, and of the 
     authority to operate schoolwide programs, and fulfill its 
     local educational agency and school improvement 
     responsibilities under section 1116, including the corrective 
     actions it will take under section 1116(d)(6);
       ``(4) how the State educational agency will encourage the 
     use of funds from other Federal, State, and local sources for 
     schoolwide reform in schoolwide programs under section 1114;
       ``(5) how the Committee of Practitioners established under 
     section 1603(b) was substantially involved in the development 
     of the plan and will continue to be involved in monitoring 
     its implementation by the State;
       ``(6) how the State educational agency will assess the 
     needs of local educational agencies serving rural areas and 
     the plans the State educational agency has to meet those 
     needs;
       ``(7) how the State educational agency will encourage the 
     establishment and operation of cooperative education, 
     mentoring, and apprenticeship programs, involving business

       ``(8) how the State will coordinate activities funded under 
     this part with school-to-work and vocational education 
     programs, as appropriate.
       ``(d) Peer Review and Secretarial Approval.--The 
     Secretary--
       ``(1) shall establish a peer review process to assist in 
     the review of State plans;

     State plan the Secretary determines meets the requirements of 
     subsections (a), (b), and (c); and

     plan does not meet the requirements of subsection (a), (b), 
     or (c), immediately notify the State of such determination 
     and the reasons for it;

     meets the requirements of this section, provided, however, 
     that the Secretary may not withhold funds on the basis of the 
     specific content of the opportunity-to-learn standards 
     adopted by a State under this section.
       ``(e) Duration of the Plan.--(1) Each State plan shall--
       ``(A) remain in effect for the duration of the State's 
     participation under this part; and

     such as the adoption of new content and performance 
     standards, new assessments, or a new definition of adequate 
     progress, the State shall submit this information to the 
     Secretary for approval.
       ``(f) Nothing in this title shall be construed to authorize 
     an officer or employee of the Federal Government to mandate, 
     direct, or control a State, local educational agency, or 
     school's specific instructional content or pupil performance 
     standards and assessments, curriculum, or program of 
     instruction as a condition of eligibility to receive funds 
     under this title.

     implementation of model opportunity-to-learn standards shall 
     be voluntary on the part of the States, local educational

     and any additional measures described in the local 
     educational agency's plan to review annually the progress of 
     each school served under this part to determine whether the 
     school is meeting, or making adequate progress as defined in

     shall identify for school improvement any school served under 
     this part that--
       ``(A) has been in program improvement under section 1021 of 
     chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965, as in effect before the effective date

     improvement if virtually all its students meet the State's

       ``(i) in consultation with parents, the local educational 
     agency, and, for schoolwide programs, the school support 
     team, revise its school plan under section 1114 or 1115 in

     under paragraph (1), the local educational agency shall 
     provide the school with an opportunity to review the school-
     level data, including assessment data, on which such 
     identification would be based. If the school believes that 
     its identification for school improvement would be in error, 
     it may provide evidence to the local educational agency to 
     support such belief.

     identification under paragraph (1), the school shall 
     implement its revised plan.

     failed to bring about increased achievement and develop and 
     implement its revised plan. Such technical assistance may be 
     provided directly by the local educational agency, through 
     mechanisms authorized under section 1117, or by an 
     institution of higher education, a private nonprofit 
     organization, an educational service agency, Federal 
     technical assistance centers under part D of title II of this

     under paragraph (1), shall take such action against any 
     school that still fails to make adequate progress.

     to-learn standards, decreasing decisionmaking authority at 
     the school level, making alternative governance arrangements 
     such as the creation of a charter school, reconstituting the 
     school staff, authorizing students to transfer, including 
     paying transportation costs to other schools in the local 
     educational agency, and in the case of schoolwide programs, 
     terminating schoolwide status.

     Improvement.--(1) A State educational agency shall--

     receiving assistance under this part that are not making 
     adequate progress as defined in section 1111(b)(2)(A)(ii) or

     identification under paragraph (3), shall take such action 
     against any local educational agency that still fails to make 
     adequate progress.

     educational agency plan adopted in compliance with State law, 
     which may include implementing the State's model opportunity-
     to-learn standards, reconstitution of district personnel, 
     appointment by the State educational agency of a receiver or 
     trustee to administer the affairs of the local educational 
     agency in place of the superintendent and school board,

     schools in need of program improvement, in order to increase 
     the opportunity for all students in such schools to meet the 
     State's content and performance standards.

     be used to meet the requirements of this section. In addition 
     and notwithstanding section 1002(1), a State or local

     experience in successfully 
     improving the educational opportunities for low achieving 
     students, especially individuals identified in paragraph (3), 
     and individuals knowledgeable about research and practice on 
     teaching and learning, including alternative and applied 
     learning, especially for low achieving students.

     further their education programs under this part, provide 
     additional incentives for continued success, and reward

     success of a distinguished school by providing additional 
     institutional and individual rewards, such as greater 
     decisionmaking authority at the school building level,

     as summer programs that may be used to sustain or increase 
     success, additional professional development opportunities,

     section 1002(6) may be used by a State for release time for 
     teachers and ad- 
     ministrators, travel, training, and other related costs.

     additional approaches to providing the assistance described 
     in paragraphs (1) and (3) of subsection (c), such as 
     providing assistance through institutions of higher education 
     and educational service agencies or other local consortia,

     economically disadvantaged, are disabled, have limited-
     English proficiency, have limited literacy, or are of any 
     racial or ethnic minority background and use the findings of 
     such reviews in designing strategies for school improvement.

       ``(a) Amount of Grants.--
       ``(1) Grants for local educational agencies and puerto 
     rico.--
       ``(A) The grant which a local educational agency in a State 
     is eligible to receive under this subpart for a fiscal year 
     shall (except as provided in section 1126), be determined by 
     multiplying the number of children counted under subsection 
     (c) by 40 percent of the amount determined under the next 
     sentence. The amount determined under this sentence shall be 
     the average per pupil expenditure in the State except that 
     (i) if the average per pupil expenditure in the State is less 
     than 80 percent of the average per pupil expenditure in the 
     United States, such amount shall be 80 percent of the average 
     per pupil expenditure in the United States, or (ii) if the 
     average per pupil expenditure in the State is more than 120 
     percent of the average per pupil expenditure in the United 
     States, such amount shall be 120 percent of the average per 
     pupil expenditure in the United States. For each local 
     educational agency serving an area with a total population of 
     at least 20,000 persons, the grant under this section shall 
     be the amount determined by the Secretary. For local 
     educational agencies serving areas with total population of 
     fewer than 20,000 persons, the State education agency may 
     either (I) distribute to such local educational agencies 
     grants under this section equal to the amounts determined by 
     the Secretary; or (II) use an alternative method, approved by 
     the Secretary, to distribute the share of the State's total 
     grants under this section that is based on local educational 
     agencies with total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons. 
     Such an alternative method of distributing grants under this 
     section among a State's local educational agencies serving 
     areas with total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons 
     shall be based upon population data that the State education 
     agency determines best reflect the current distribution of 
     children in poor families among the State's local educational 
     agencies serving areas with total populations of fewer than 
     20,000 persons. If a local educational agency serving an area 
     with total population of less than 20,000 persons is 
     dissatisfied with the determination of its grant by the State 
     education agency, then it may appeal this determination to 
     the Secretary. The Secretary must respond to this appeal 
     within 45 days of receipt. The Secretary shall consult with 
     the Secretary of Commerce regarding whether available data on 
     population for local educational agencies serving areas with 
     total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons are 
     sufficiently reliable to be used to determine final grants to 
     such areas.

     States for which the Department of Commerce has not prepared 
     data on the number of children, aged 5-17, from families 
     below the poverty level for local educational agencies, then 
     the Secretary shall use such data compiled for counties in 
     those portions of the States, treating the counties as if 
     they were local educational agencies. In such cases, subject 
     to section 1126, the grant for any local educational agency 
     in such an area of a State shall be determined on the basis 
     of the aggregate amount of such grants for all such agencies 
     in the county or counties in which the school district of the 
     particular agency is located, which aggregate amount shall be 
     equal to the aggregate amount determined under subparagraph 
     (A) for such county or counties, and shall be allocated among 
     those agencies upon such equitable basis as may be determined 
     by the State educational agency in accordance with basic

       ``(C) For each fiscal year, the Secretary shall determine 
     the percentage which the average per pupil expenditure in the 
     Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is of the lowest average per 
     pupil expenditure of any of the 50 States. The grant which 
     the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico shall be eligible to receive 
     under this subpart for a fiscal year shall be the amount 
     arrived at by multiplying the number of children counted 
     under subsection (c) for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico by 
     the product of--
       ``(i) the percentage determined under the preceding 
     sentence; and
       ``(ii) 32 percent of the average per pupil expenditure in 
     the United States.
       ``(2) Definition.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
     term `State' does not include Guam, American Samoa, the 
     Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau.
       ``(b) Minimum Number of Children To Qualify.--A local 
     educational agency shall be eligible for a basic grant for a 
     fiscal year under this subpart only if the number of children 
     counted under subsection (c) in the school district of such 
     local educational agency is at least 10.
       ``(c) Children To Be Counted.--
       ``(1) Categories of children.--The number of children to be 
     counted for purposes of this section is the aggregate of--
       ``(A) the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, in 
     the school district of the local educational agency from 
     families below the poverty level as determined under 
     paragraph (2)(A),
       ``(B) the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, in 
     the school district of such agency from families above the 
     poverty level as determined under paragraph (2)(B), and
       ``(C) the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, in 
     the school district of such agency in institutions for 
     neglected and delinquent children (other than such 
     institutions operated by the United States) or attending 
     community day programs for such children, but not counted 
     pursuant to subpart 3 of part D for the purposes of a grant 
     to a State agency, or being supported in foster homes with 
     public funds.
       ``(2) Determination of number of children.--
       ``(A) For the purposes of this section, the Secretary shall 
     determine the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, 
     from families below the poverty level on the basis of the 
     most recent satisfactory data available from the Department 
     of Commerce for local educational agencies (as produced and 
     published under section 181a of title 13, United States 
     Code). If, and only if, there are portions of any of the 
     States for which the Department of Commerce has not prepared 
     data on the number of children, aged 5-17, from families 
     below the poverty level for local educational agencies, then 
     the Secretary shall use such data compiled for counties in 
     those portions of the States, treating the counties as if 
     they were local educational agencies. The District of 
     Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico shall be treated 
     as individual local educational agencies. If a local 
     educational agency contains two or more counties in their 
     entirety, then each county will be treated as if it were a 
     separate local educational agency for purposes of calculating 
     grants under this part. The total of grants for such counties 
     shall be allocated to such a local educational agency, which 
     shall distribute to schools in each county within it a share 
     of the local educational agency's total grant that is no less 
     than the county's share of the population counts used to 
     calculate the local educational agency's grant. If the 
     Department of Commerce has updated data on the number of 
     children, aged 5-17, from families below the poverty level 
     for local educational agencies, then the Secretary shall use 
     the updated data. In determining the families which are below 
     the poverty level, the Secretary shall utilize the criteria 
     of poverty used by the Bureau of the Census in compiling the 
     most recent decennial census, in such form as those criteria 
     have been

[[Page 493]]

     updated by increases in the Consumer Price Index for all 
     urban consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
       ``(B) For purposes of this section, the Secretary shall 
     determine the number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, 
     from families above the poverty level on the basis of the 
     number of such children from families receiving an annual 
     income, in excess of the current criteria of poverty, from 
     payments under the program of aid to families with dependent 
     children under a State plan approved under title IV of the 
     Social Security Act; and in making such determinations the 
     Secretary shall utilize the criteria of poverty used by the 
     Bureau of the Census in compiling the most recent decennial 
     census for a family of 4 in such form as those criteria have 
     been updated by increases in the Consumer Price Index for all 
     urban consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 
     The Secretary shall determine the number of such children and 
     the number of children of such ages living in institutions 
     for neglected or delinquent children, or being supported in 
     foster homes with public funds, on the basis of the caseload 
     data for the month of October of the preceding fiscal year 
     (using, in the case of children described in the preceding 
     sentence, the criteria of poverty and the form of such 
     criteria required by such sentence which were determined for 
     the calendar year preceding such month of October) or, to the 
     extent that such data are not available to the Secretary 
     before January of the calendar year in which the Secretary's 
     determination is made, then on the basis of the most recent 
     reliable data available to the Secretary at the time of such 
     determination. The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
     shall collect and transmit the information required by this 
     subparagraph to the Secretary not later than January 1 of 
     each year.
       ``(C) When requested by the Secretary, the Secretary of 
     Commerce shall make a special updated estimate of the number 
     of children of such ages who are from families below the 
     poverty level (as determined under subparagraph (A) of this 
     paragraph) in each school district, and the Secretary is 
     authorized to pay (either in advance or by way of 
     reimbursement) the Secretary of Commerce the cost of making 
     this special estimate. The Secretary of Commerce shall give 
     consideration to any request of the chief executive of a 
     State for the collection of additional census information.

     all children who are in correctional institutions to be 
     living in institutions for delinquent children.

     educational agencies within a State may not be less than one-
     quarter of 1 percent of the total amount available for such 
     fiscal year under this section.

     number of children counted under section 1124(c) represents 
     of the total population aged 5-17 years in the local 
     educational agency or the number of such children. Weighted

     educational agencies serving areas with total populations of 
     fewer than 20,000 persons, the State education agency may 
     either (1) distribute to such local educational agencies 
     grants under this section equal to the amounts determined by 
     the Secretary; or (2) use an alternative method, approved by 
     the Secretary, to distribute the share of the State's total

     ``SEC. 1401. FINDINGS; PURPOSE; PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

       ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       ``(1) A large percentage of youth in the juvenile justice 
     system have poor academic achievement, are a year or more 
     behind grade level, and have dropped out of school.
       ``(2) There is a strong correlation between academic 
     failure and involvement in delinquent activities.
       ``(3) Preventing students from dropping out of local 
     schools and addressing the educational needs of delinquent 
     youth can help reduce the dropout rate and involvement in 
     delinquent activities at the same time.
       ``(4) Many schools and correctional facilities fail to 
     communicate regarding a youth's academic needs and students 
     often return to their home school ill-prepared to meet 
     current curriculum requirements.
       ``(5) Schools are often reluctant to deal with youth 
     returning from facilities and receive no funds to deal with 
     the unique educational and other needs of such youth.
       ``(6) A continuing need exists for activities and programs 
     to reduce the incidence of youth dropping out of school.
       ``(7) Federal dropout prevention programs have demonstrated 
     effectiveness in keeping children and youth in school.
       ``(8) Pregnant and parenting teens are a high at-risk group 
     for dropping out of school and should be targeted by dropout 
     prevention programs.
       ``(9) Such youth need a strong dropout prevention program 
     which provides them with high level skills and which provides 
     supports to youth returning from correctional facilities in 
     order to keep them in school.
       ``(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this part--
       ``(1) to improve educational services to children in local 
     and State institutions for delinquent children so that they 
     have the opportunity to meet the same challenging State 
     performance standards that all children in the State will be 
     expected to meet;
       ``(2) to provide such children the services they need to 
     make a successful transition from institutionalization to 
     further schooling or employment; and
       ``(3) to prevent at-risk youth from dropping out of school 
     and to provide dropouts and youth returning from institutions 
     with a support system to ensure their continued education.
       ``(c) Program Authorized.--In order to carry out the 
     purpose of this part, the Secretary shall make grants to 
     State educational agencies, which shall make subgrants to 
     State agencies and local educational agencies to establish or 
     improve programs of education for delinquent children and

     ``SEC. 2101. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) reaching the National Education Goals requires a 
     comprehensive educational reform strategy that involves 
     parents, schools, government, communities, and other public 
     and private organizations at all levels;
       ``(2) a crucial component of the strategy for achieving 
     these goals is ensuring, through sustained and intensive 
     high-quality professional development, and through the 
     development and adoption of high quality curriculum, that all 
     teachers are capable of providing challenging learning 
     experiences in the core academic subjects for their students;
       ``(3) decisionmaking as to what activities a State or local 
     educational agency should undertake to improve teaching and 
     learning are best made by individuals in the schools closest 
     to the classroom and most knowledgeable about the needs of 
     schools and students;
       ``(4) the potential positive impact of high-quality 
     professional development is underscored by recent research 
     findings that--
       ``(A) professional development must be focused on teaching 
     and learning in order to change the opportunities of all 
     students to achieve higher standards; and
       ``(B) effective professional development focuses on 
     discipline-based knowledge and subject-specific pedagogical 
     skills, involves teams of teachers and administrators in a 
     school and, through professional networks of teachers and 
     administrators, is interactive and collaborative, motivates 
     by its intrinsic content and relationship to practice, builds 
     on experience and learning-by-doing, and becomes incorporated 
     into the everyday life of the school;
       ``(5) engaging teachers in the development of high quality 
     curricula is a powerful professional development activity 
     that improves teaching and learning;
       ``(6) special attention must be given in professional 
     development activities to ensure that education professionals 
     are knowledgeable of, and make use of, strategies for serving 
     populations that historically have lacked access to equal 
     opportunities for advanced learning and career advancement;
       ``(7) States and local educational agencies also need to 
     engage teachers in the development of high quality curricula 
     that are aligned with State or local content and performance 
     standards in order to improve teaching and learning and 
     ensure that students achieve the State standards;
       ``(8) professional development is often a victim of budget 
     reductions in fiscally difficult times and curricula 
     development is almost nonexistent in many State and local 
     school systems; and
       ``(9) the Federal Government has a vital role in helping 
     States and local educational agencies to make sustained and 
     intensive high-quality professional development in the core 
     academic subjects become an integral part of the elementary 
     and secondary education system and in providing assistance to

       ``This title may be cited as the `Technology Education 
     Assistance Act of 1994'.

     ``SEC. 2202. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) technology can produce far greater opportunities for 
     all students to learn to high standards and promote 
     efficiency and effectiveness in education;
       ``(2) the use of technology as a tool in the teaching and 
     learning process is essential to the development and 
     maintenance of a technologically literate citizenry and an 
     internationally competitive workforce;
       ``(3) the acquisition and use of technology in education 
     throughout the United States has been inhibited by the 
     absence of Federal leadership, the inability of many State 
     and local educational agencies to invest in and support 
     needed technologies, and the limited availability of 
     appropriate technology-enhanced curriculum, instruction, 
     teacher training, and administrative support resources and 
     services in the educational marketplace;
       ``(4) educational equalization concerns and school 
     restructuring needs can be addressed through educational 
     telecommunications and technology by offering universal 
     access to high-quality teaching and programs, particularly in 
     urban and rural areas;
       ``(5) in the absence of appropriate educational technology 
     policies, the disparity between rich and poor students will 
     become even greater in a world where technology and 
     telecommunications increasingly have become an integral part 
     of many households;
       ``(6) the increasing use of new technologies and 
     telecommunications systems in business and industry has 
     furthered the gap between schooling and work force 
     preparation;
       ``(7) telecommunications can be a conduit for ongoing 
     teacher training and improved professional development by 
     providing to teachers constant access to updated research in 
     teaching and learning;
       ``(8) research consistently shows that the planned use of 
     technology combined with teachers who are adequately trained 
     in its use can increase opportunities for more students to 
     develop higher order thinking and technical skills than is 
     possible with traditional instruction;
       ``(9) technology can engage students in learning through 
     media with which they are comfortable, and prove to be an 
     effective learning tool, particularly when correlated with 
     State and national curriculum standards;
       ``(10) schools need new ways of financing the acquisition 
     and maintenance of educational technology; and
       ``(11) the needs for educational technology differ from 
     State to State.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that chapter 2 of the 
     Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 has been 
     successful in achieving the goals of increasing local 
     flexibility, reducing administrative burden, providing 
     services for private school students, encouraging innovation, 
     and contributing to the improvement of elementary and 
     secondary educational programs.
       ``(b) Statement of Purpose.--It is the purpose of programs 
     under this part:
       ``(1) To support local education reform efforts which are 
     consistent with and support statewide reform efforts under 
     Goals 2000: Educate America Act.
       ``(2) To support State and local efforts to accomplish the 
     National Education Goals.
       ``(3) To provide funding to enable State and local 
     educational agencies to implement promising educational 
     reform programs that can be supported by State and local 
     sources of funding after such programs are demonstrated to be 
     effective.
       ``(4) To provide a continuing source of innovation, 
     educational improvement, and support for library services and 
     instructional materials, including media materials.
       ``(5) To meet the special educational needs of at risk and 
     high cost students.
       ``(c) State and Local Responsibility.--The basic 
     responsibility for the administration of funds made available 
     under this part is within the State educational agencies, but 
     it is the intent of Congress that the responsibility be 
     carried out with a minimum of paperwork and that the 
     responsibility for the design and implementation of programs 
     assisted under this part will be mainly that of local 
     educational agencies, school superintendents and principals, 
     and classroom teachers and supporting personnel, because they 
     have the most direct contact with students and are most 
     likely to be able to design programs to meet the educational 
     needs of students in their own districts.

     ``SEC. 2451. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) a local public school often serves as a center for 
     the delivery of education and human resources for all members 
     of a community;
       ``(2) public schools, primarily in rural and inner city 
     communities, should collaborate with other public and 
     nonprofit agencies and organizations, local businesses, 
     educational entities (such as vocational and adult education 
     programs, school to work programs, community colleges, and 
     universities), recreational, cultural, and other community 
     and human service entities for the purpose of meeting the 
     needs and expanding the opportunities available to the 
     residents of the communities served by such schools; and
       ``(3) by using school facilities, equipment, and resources, 
     communities can promote a more efficient use of public 
     education facilities, especially in rural and inner city 
     areas where limited financial resources have enhanced the 
     necessity for local public schools to become social service 
     centers.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Jacob K. Javits Gifted and 
     Talented Students Education Act of 1994'.

     ``SEC. 3302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
       ``(1) all students can learn to high standards and must 
     develop their talents and realize their potential if the 
     United States is to prosper;
       ``(2) gifted and talented students are a national resource 
     vital to the future of the Nation and its security and well-
     being;
       ``(3) too often schools fail to challenge students to do 
     their best work, and students who are not challenged will not 
     learn to high standards, fully develop their talents, and 
     realize their potential;
       ``(4) unless the special abilities of gifted and talented 
     students are recognized and developed during their elementary 
     and secondary school years, much of their special potential 
     for contributing to the national interest is likely to be 
     lost;
       ``(5) gifted and talented students from economically 
     disadvantaged families and areas, and students of limited 
     English proficiency are at greatest risk of being 
     unrecognized and of not being provided adequate or 
     appropriate educational services;
       ``(6) State and local educational agencies and private 
     nonprofit schools often lack the necessary specialized 
     resources to plan and implement effective
     programs for the early identification of gifted and talented 
     students for the provision of educational services and 
     programs appropriate to their special needs;
       ``(7) the Federal Government can best carry out the limited 
     but essential role of stimulating research and development 
     and personnel training and providing a national focal point 
     of information and technical assistance that is necessary to 
     ensure that the Nation's schools are able to meet the special 
     educational needs of gifted and talented students, and 
     thereby serve a profound national interest; and
       ``(8) the experience and knowledge gained in developing and 
     implementing programs for gifted and talented students can 
     and should be used as a basis to develop a rich and 
     challenging curriculum for all students.
       ``(b) Statement of Purpose.--
       ``(1) It is the purpose of this part to provide financial 
     assistance to State and local educational agencies, 
     institutions of higher education, and other public and 
     private agencies and organizations, to initiate a coordinated 
     program of research, demonstration projects, personnel 
     training, and similar activities designed to build a 
     nationwide capability in elementary and secondary schools to 
     meet the special educational needs of gifted and talented 
     students. In addition, the purpose of this part is to 
     encourage the development of rich and challenging curricula 
     for all students through the appropriate application and 
     adaptation of materials and instructional methods developed 
     under this part.
       ``(2) It is also the purpose of this part to supplement and 
     make more effective the expenditure of State and local funds, 
     for the education of gifted and talented students.

     ``SEC. 3303. DEFINITIONS.

       ``For purposes of this part, the term `gifted and talented 
     students' means children and youth who give evidence of high 
     performance capability in areas such as intellectual, 
     creative, artistic, or leadership capacity, or in specific 
     academic fields, and who require services or activities not 
     ordinarily provided by the school in order to fully develop 
     such capabilities.

     ``SEC. 3801. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Native Hawaiian Education 
     Act'.

     ``SEC. 3802. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that:
       ``(1) Native Hawaiians comprise a distinct and unique 
     indigenous people with a historical continuity to the 
     original inhabitants of the Hawaiian archipelago whose 
     society was organized as a Nation prior to the arrival of the 
     first non-indigenous people in 1778.
       ``(2) The Native Hawaiian people are entitled to preserve, 
     develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral 
     territory, and their cultural identity in accordance with 
     their own spiritual and traditional beliefs, customs, 
     practices, languages, and social institutions.
       ``(3) The constitution and statutes of the State of Hawaii:
       ``(A) acknowledge the distinct land rights of the Native 
     Hawaiian people as beneficiaries of the public lands trust; 
     and
       ``(B) reaffirm and protect the unique right of the Native 
     Hawaiian people to practice and perpetuate their cultural and 
     religious customs, beliefs, practices, and language.
       ``(4) At the time of the arrival of the first non-
     indigenous people in Hawaii in 1778, the Native Hawaiian 
     people lived in a highly organized, self-sufficient, 
     subsistence social system based on communal land tenure with 
     a sophisticated language, culture, and religion.
       ``(5) A unified monarchial government of the Hawaiian 
     Islands was established in 1810 under Kamehameha I, the first 
     King of Hawaii.
       ``(6) Throughout the 19th century and until 1893, the 
     United States: (a) recognized the independence of the 
     Hawaiian Nation; (b) extended full and complete diplomatic 
     recognition to the Hawaiian government; and (c) entered into 
     treaties and conventions with the Hawaiian monarchs to govern 
     commerce and navigation in 1826, 1842, 1849, 1875 and 1887.
       ``(7) In the year 1893, the United States Minister assigned 
     to the sovereign and independent Kingdom of Hawaii, John L. 
     Stevens, conspired with a small group of non-Hawaiian 
     residents of the Kingdom, including citizens of the United 
     States, to overthrow the indigenous and lawful Government of 
     Hawaii.
       ``(8) In pursuance of that conspiracy, the United States 
     Minister and the naval representative of the United States 
     caused armed naval forces of the United States to invade the 
     sovereign Hawaiian Nation in support of the overthrow of the 
     indigenous and lawful Government of Hawaii and the United 
     States Minister thereupon extended diplomatic recognition of 
     a provisional government formed by the conspirators without 
     the consent of the native people of Hawaii or the lawful 
     Government of Hawaii in violation of treaties between the two 
     nations and of international law.
       ``(9) In a message to Congress on December 18, 1893, then 
     President Grover Cleveland reported fully and accurately on 
     these illegal actions, and acknowledged that by these acts, 
     described by the President as acts of war, the government of 
     a peaceful and friendly people was overthrown, and the 
     President concluded that a `substantial wrong has thus been 
     done which a due regard for our national character as well as 
     the rights of the injured people require that we should 
     endeavor to repair.'
       ``(10) Queen Lili'uokalani, the lawful monarch of Hawaii, 
     and the Hawaiian Patriotic League, representing the 
     aboriginal citizens of Hawaii, promptly petitioned the United 
     States for redress of these wrongs and for restoration of the 
     indigenous government of the Hawaiian nation, but this 
     petition was not acted upon.
       ``(11) In 1898, the United States annexed Hawaii through 
     the Newlands Resolution, without the consent of or 
     compensation to the indigenous people of Hawaii or their 
     sovereign government, who were denied their land, ocean 
     resources, and the mechanism

[[Page 524]]

     for expression of their inherent sovereignty through self-
     government and self-determination.
       ``(12) Through the Newlands Resolution and the 1900 Organic 
     Act, the United States Congress received 1.75 million acres 
     of lands formerly owned by the Crown and Government of the 
     Hawaiian Kingdom and exempted the lands from then existing 
     public land laws of the United States by mandating that the 
     revenue and proceeds from these lands be `used solely for the 
     benefit of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands for 
     education and other public purposes,' thereby establishing a 
     special trust relationship between the United States and the 
     indigenous native inhabitants of Hawaii.
       ``(13) Congress enacted the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act 
     of 1920 designating 200,000 acres of the ceded public lands 
     for exclusive homesteading by Native Hawaiians, affirming the 
     trust relationship between the United States and the Native 
     Hawaiians, as expressed by then Secretary of the Interior 
     Franklin K. Lane, who was cited in the Committee Report of 
     the United States House of Representatives Committee on 
     Territories as stating: `One thing that impressed me . . . 
     was the fact that the natives of these islands who are our 
     wards, I should say, and for whom in a sense we are trustees, 
     are falling off rapidly in numbers and many of them are in 
     poverty.'
       ``(14) In 1938, the United States Congress again 
     acknowledged the unique status of the Hawaiian people by 
     including in the Act of June 20, 1938 (52 Stat. 781 et seq.), 
     a provision to lease lands within the National Parks 
     extension to Native Hawaiians and to permit fishing in the 
     area `only by native Hawaiian residents of said area or of 
     adjacent villages and by visitors under their guidance.'
       ``(15) Under the Act entitled `An Act to provide for the 
     admission of the State of Hawaii into the Union' Approved 
     March 18, 1959 (73 Stat. 4), the United States transferred 
     responsibility for the administration of the Hawaiian Home 
     Lands to the State of Hawaii but reaffirmed the trust 
     relationship which existed between the United States and the 
     Hawaiian people by retaining the exclusive power to enforce 
     the trust, including the power to approve land exchanges and 
     legislative amendments affecting the rights of beneficiaries 
     under such Act.
       ``(16) Under the Act entitled `An Act to provide for the 
     admission of the State of Hawaii into the Union', approved 
     March 18, 1959 (73 Stat. 4), the United States transferred 
     responsibility for administration over portions of the ceded 
     public lands trust not retained by the United States to the 
     State of Hawaii but reaffirmed the trust responsibility which 
     existed between the United States and the Hawaiian people by 
     retaining the legal responsibility to enforce the 
     administration of the public trust responsibility of the 
     State of Hawaii for the betterment of the conditions of 
     Native Hawaiians under section 5(f) of the Act entitled `An 
     Act to provide for the admission of the State of Hawaii into 
     the Union.'.
       ``(17) The authority of the Congress under the United 
     States Constitution to legislate in matters affecting the 
     aboriginal or indigenous peoples of the United States 
     includes the authority to legislate in matters affecting the 
     native peoples of Alaska and Hawaii.
       ``(18) In furtherance to the trust responsibility for the 
     betterment of the conditions of native Hawaiians, the United 
     States has established educational programs to benefit Native 
     Hawaiians and has acknowledged that special educational 
     efforts are required recognizing the unique cultural and 
     historical circumstances of Native Hawaiians.
       ``(19) This historical and legal relationship has been 
     consistently recognized and affirmed by the Congress through 
     the enactment of Federal laws which extend to the Hawaiian 
     people the same rights and privileges accorded to American 
     Indian, Alaska Native, Eskimo, and Aleut communities, 
     including the Native American Programs Act of 1974; the 
     Native American Programs Act of 1992, as amended; the 
     National Historic Act Amendments of 1992; the American Indian 
     Religious Freedom Act; the Native American Graves Protection 
     and Repatriation Act.
       ``(20) The United States has also recognized and reaffirmed 
     the trust relationship to the Hawaiian people through 
     legislation which authorizes the provision of services to 
     Native Hawaiians, specifically, the Older Americans Act of 
     1965, the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of 
     Rights Act Amendments of 1987, the Veterans' Benefits and 
     Services Act of 1988, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the 
     Native Hawaiian Health Care Act of 1988, the Health 
     Professions Reauthorization Act of 1988, the Nursing Shortage 
     Reduction and Education Extension Act of 1988, the 
     Handicapped Programs Technical Amendments Act of 1988, the 
     Indian Health Care Amendments of 1988, and the Disadvantaged 
     Minority Health Improvements Act of 1990.
       ``(21) Despite the success of the programs established 
     under the Native Hawaiian Education Act of 1988, the 
     education needs of Native Hawaiians continue to be severe:
       ``(A) Native Hawaiian students continue to score below 
     national norms on standardized education achievement tests.
       ``(B) Both public and private schools continue to show a 
     pattern of low percentages of Native Hawaiian students in the 
     uppermost achievement levels and in gifted and talented 
     programs.
       ``(C) Native Hawaiian students continue to be 
     overrepresented among those qualifying for special education 
     programs provided to learning disabled, educable mentally 
     retarded, handicapped, and other such students.
       ``(D) Native Hawaiians continue to be disproportionately 
     represented in many negative social and physical statistics, 
     indicative of special educational needs--
       ``(i) lower educational attainment among Native Hawaiians 
     has been found to relate to lower socioeconomic outcomes;
       ``(ii) Native Hawaiian students continue to be 
     disproportionately underrepresented in Institutions of Higher 
     Education;
       ``(iii) Native Hawaiians continue to be underrepresented in 
     traditional white collar professions, health care 
     professions, and the newly emerging technology based 
     professions and are overrepresented in service occupations;
       ``(iv) Native Hawaiian children continue to be 
     disproportionately victimized by child abuse and neglect, a 
     signal of family stress; and
       ``(v) there are and will continue to be geographically 
     rural, isolated areas with a high Native Hawaiian population 
     density.
       ``(22) Special efforts in education recognizing the unique 
     cultural and historical circumstances of Native Hawaiians are 
     required.

         ``TITLE IV--SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES

     ``SEC. 4001. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This title may be cited as the `Safe and Drug-Free 
     Schools and Communities Act of 1994'.

     ``SEC. 4002. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(1) National Education Goal Six provides that by the year 
     2000, all schools in America will be free of drugs and 
     violence and offer a disciplined environment that is 
     conducive to learning.
       ``(2) The widespread illegal use of alcohol and other drugs 
     among the Nation's secondary school students, and 
     increasingly by students in elementary schools as well, 
     constitutes a grave threat to their physical and mental well-
     being, and significantly impedes the learning process. For 
     example, data show that students who drink tend to receive 
     lower grades and are more likely to miss school because of 
     illness than students who do not drink.
       ``(3) Our Nation's schools and communities are increasingly 
     plagued by violence and crime. Approximately three million 
     thefts and violent crimes occur in or near our Nation's 
     schools every year, the equivalent of more than 16,000 
     incidents per school day. Approximately one of every five 
     high school students now carries a firearm, knife, or club on 
     a regular basis.
       ``(4) The tragic consequences of violence and the illegal 
     use of alcohol and drugs by students are felt not only by 
     students and their families, but by their communities and the 
     Nation, which can ill afford to lose their skills, talents, 
     and vitality.
       ``(5) While use of illegal drugs is a serious problem among 
     a minority of teenagers, alcohol use is far more widespread. 
     The proportion of high school students using alcohol, though 
     lower than a decade ago, remains unacceptably high. By the 
     8th grade, 70 percent of youth report having tried alcohol 
     and by the 12th grade, about 88 percent have used alcohol. 
     Alcohol use by young people can and does have adverse 
     consequences for users, their families, communities, schools, 
     and colleges.
       ``(6) Every day approximately 3,000 children start smoking 
     for the first time and 30 percent of all high school seniors 
     are smokers. Half of all new smokers begin before the age of 
     14, 90 percent before the age of 21, and the average age of 
     the first use of smokeless tobacco products is under the age 
     of 10. Use of tobacco products has been linked to serious 
     health problems. However, because the nicotine in tobacco is 
     an addictive substance, many tobacco users find it difficult 
     to stop using tobacco once they have started. Drug education 
     and prevention programs that include tobacco have been 
     effective in reducing teenage use of tobacco. Drug prevention 
     programs for youth that address only controlled drugs send an 
     erroneous message that the use of tobacco does not have 
     adverse consequences. To be credible, messages opposing 
     illegal drug use by youth should also address other harmful 
     substances.
       ``(7) Drug and violence prevention programs are essential 
     components of a comprehensive strategy to promote school 
     safety and to reduce the demand for and use of drugs 
     throughout the Nation. Schools and local organizations in 
     communities throughout the Nation have a special 
     responsibility to work together to combat the growing 
     epidemic of violence and illegal drug use and should measure 
     the success of their programs against clearly defined goals 
     and objectives.
       ``(8) Students must take greater responsibility for their 
     own well-being, health, and safety if schools and communities 
     are to achieve their goals of providing a safe, disciplined, 
     and drug-free learning environment.

     ``SEC. 4003. PURPOSE.

       ``The purpose of this title is to support programs to meet 
     Goal Six of the National Educational Goals by preventing 
     violence in and around schools and by strengthening programs 
     that prevent the illegal use of alcohol and drugs, involve 
     parents, and are coordinated with related Federal, State, and 
     community efforts and resources, through the provision of 
     Federal assistance to--

     intermediate and junior high schools);
       ``(2) States for grants to local and intermediate 
     educational agencies and consortia for grants to, and 
     contracts with, community-based organizations and other 
     public and private non-profit agencies and organizations for

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) magnet schools are a significant part of our Nation's 
     effort to achieve voluntary desegregation in its schools;
       ``(2) the use of magnet schools has increased dramatically 
     since enactment of the magnet program, with approximately 1.4 
     million students nationwide now attending such schools, of 
     which more than 60 percent of the students are nonwhite;
       ``(3) magnet schools offer a wide range of distinctive 
     programs that have served as models for school improvement 
     efforts;
       ``(4) in administering this program, the Federal Government 
     has learned that--
       ``(A) where magnet programs are implemented for only a 
     portion of a school's student body, special efforts must be 
     made to discourage the isolation of magnet students from 
     other students in the school;
       ``(B) local educational agencies can maximize their 
     effectiveness in achieving the purposes of this program if 
     they have more flexibility to serve students attending a 
     school who are not enrolled in the magnet school program;
       ``(C) local educational agencies must be creative in 
     designing magnet schools for students at all academic levels, 
     so that school districts do not skim off only the highest 
     achieving students to attend the magnet schools;
       ``(D) local educational agencies must seek to enable 
     participation in magnet school programs by students who 
     reside in the neighborhoods where the programs are placed; 
     and
       ``(E) in order to ensure that magnet schools are sustained 
     after Federal funding ends, the Federal Government must 
     assist local educational agencies to improve their

[[Page 533]]

     capacity to continue to operate magnet schools at a high 
     level of performance;
       ``(5) it is in the best interest of the Federal Government 
     to--
       ``(A) continue its support of local educational agencies 
     implementing court-ordered desegregation plans and local 
     educational agencies seeking to foster meaningful interaction 
     among students of different racial and ethnic backgrounds 
     beginning at the earliest stage of their education;
       ``(B) ensure that all students have equitable access to 
     quality education that will prepare them to function well in 
     a culturally diverse, technologically-oriented, and highly 
     competitive global community; and
       ``(C) maximize the ability of local educational agencies to 
     plan, develop, implement and continue new and innovative

     systemic reform.

     ``SEC. 6001. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the Federal Government has a special responsibility 
     to ensure that educational programs for all American Indian 
     and Alaska Native children and adults--
       ``(A) are based on high-quality, internationally 
     competitive content and student performance standards and 
     build on Indian culture and the Indian community;
       ``(B) assist local educational agencies, Indian tribes, and 
     others in providing Indian students the opportunity to 
     achieve those standards; and
       ``(C) meet the special educational and culturally related 
     academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students;
       ``(2) since enactment of the original Indian Education Act 
     in 1972, Indian parents have become significantly more 
     involved in the planning, development, and implementation of 
     educational programs that affect them and their children, and 
     schools should continue to foster such involvement;
       ``(3) although the numbers of Indian teachers, 
     administrators, and university professors have increased 
     since 1972, teacher training programs are not recruiting, 
     training, or retraining sufficient numbers of Indian persons 
     as educators to meet the needs of a growing Indian student 
     population in elementary, secondary, vocational, adult, and 
     higher education;
       ``(4) the dropout rate for Indian students is unacceptably 
     high; for example, nine percent of Indian students who were 
     eighth graders in 1988 had already dropped out of school by 
     1990;
       ``(5) from 1980 to 1990, the percentage of Indian persons 
     living in poverty increased from 24 percent to 31 percent, 
     and the readiness of Indian children to learn is hampered by 
     the high incidence of poverty, unemployment, and health 
     problems among Indian children and families; and
       ``(6) research related specifically to the education of 
     Indian children and adults is very limited, and much of it is 
     poor in quality or focused on limited local or regional 
     issues.

     ``SEC. 6002. PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to support 
     the efforts of local educational agencies, Indian tribes and 
     organizations, postsecondary institutions, and other entities 
     to meet the special educational and culturally related 
     academic needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, so 
     that they can achieve to the same challenging State 
     performance standards expected of all students.
       ``(b) Programs Authorized.--This title carries out the 
     purpose described in subsection (a) by authorizing programs 
     of direct assistance for--
       ``(1) meeting the special educational and culturally 
     related academic needs of American Indians and Alaska 
     Natives;

     which the school is located; or

     fiscal year to any local educational agency in a State that 
     has taken into consideration payments under this part (or

     determining the eligibility of the local educational agency 
     for State aid, or the amount of that aid, with respect to the 
     free public education of children during that year or the 
     preceding fiscal year.

     Effort.--(1) The Secretary shall not pay any local 
     educational agency the full amount determined under section

     with respect to the provision of free public education by 
     such local agency for the preceding fiscal year, computed on 
     either a per-student or aggregate expenditure basis, was not 
     less than 90 percent of such combined fiscal effort, computed 
     on the same basis, for the second preceding fiscal year.

     a local educational agency failed to maintain its fiscal 
     effort at the 90 percent level required by paragraph (1), the 
     Secretary shall--

     be made to the agency under this part in the exact proportion 
     of such agency's failure to maintain its fiscal effort at 
     such level; and

     expenditures for the preceding year to determine compliance 
     with paragraph (1) for any succeeding fiscal year, but shall

     paragraph (1), for not more than one year at a time, if the 
     Secretary determines that the failure to comply with such 
     requirement is due to exceptional or uncontrollable 
     circumstances, such as a natural disaster or a precipitous 
     and unforeseen decline in the agency's financial resources.
       ``(B) The Secretary shall not use the reduced amount of 
     such agency's expenditures for the fiscal year preceding the 
     fiscal year for which a waiver is granted to determine 
     compliance with paragraph (1) for any succeeding fiscal year, 
     but shall use the amount of expenditures that would have been 
     required to comply with paragraph (1) in the absence of the 
     waiver.

     manner the Secretary determines will best carry out the 
     purpose of this part, any amounts that--

     other information, will not be needed by such agencies to 
     carry out their approved projects under this part; or

     ``SEC. 7001. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This title may be cited as the `Bilingual Education Act'.

     ``SEC. 7002. FINDINGS, POLICY, AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) language-minority Americans constitute a large and 
     growing proportion of the Nation's population;
       ``(2) language-minority Americans speak virtually all world 
     languages plus many that are indigenous to the United States;
       ``(3) the presence of language-minority Americans is 
     related in part to Federal immigration policies;
       ``(4) many language-minority Americans are limited in their 
     English proficiency, and many have limited education and 
     income;
       ``(5) limited-English-proficient children and youth, like 
     all other children and youth, have diverse educational needs 
     and strengths and therefore require access to all educational 
     programs and services;
       ``(6) the Federal Government has a responsibility for the 
     education of American Indians and a special obligation to 
     Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians and native residents of the 
     territories and freely associated nations to redress the 
     effect of past Federal policies;
       ``(7) institutions of higher education can assist in 
     preparing teachers, administrators and other school personnel 
     to understand and build upon the educational strengths and 
     needs of language-minority and culturally diverse student 
     enrollments;
       ``(8) it is the purpose of this title to help ensure that 
     limited-English-proficient students master English and 
     develop high levels of academic attainment in content areas;
       ``(9) quality bilingual education programs enable children 
     and youth to learn English and meet high academic standards 
     including proficiency in more than one language;
       ``(10) as the world becomes increasingly interdependent and 
     as international communication becomes a daily occurrence in 
     government, business, commerce, and family life, multilingual 
     skills constitute an important national resource which 
     deserves protection and development;
       ``(11) educational technology has the potential for 
     improving the education of language-minority and limited-
     English-proficient students and their families, and the 
     Federal Government should foster this development;
       ``(12) research, development, implementation and 
     dissemination of effective bilingual education methods, 
     practices, and programs for limited-English-proficient 
     children are essential to systemwide school reform that 
     improves education for all children; and
       ``(13) a recognized means by which a child learns is 
     through the use of the child's native language, cultural 
     heritage, and instructional programs which use and build upon 
     a child's non-English native language and cultural heritage 
     to promote parent and community involvement in education, 
     student self-esteem, proficiency in English, and subject 
     matter achievement.
       ``(b) Policy.--The Congress declares it to be the policy of 
     the United States, in order to ensure equal educational 
     opportunity for all children and youth and to promote 
     educational excellence, to assist State and local educational 
     agencies, institutions of higher education, and community-
     based organizations to build their capacity to establish, 
     implement, and sustain programs of instruction for language 
     minority and limited-English-proficient children and youth.
       ``(c) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to educate 
     language minority and limited-English-proficient children and 
     youth to meet the same rigorous standards for academic 
     performance expected of all children and youth, including 
     meeting challenging State performance standards in academic 
     areas by developing--
       ``(1) systemic improvement and reform of educational 
     programs serving language-minority and limited-English-
     proficient students through the development and 
     implementation of exemplary bilingual education programs and 
     special alternative instruction programs;
       ``(2) data collection and dissemination, research, 
     materials development, and technical assistance which is 
     focused on school improvement for language-minority and 
     limited-English-proficient students; and
       ``(3) programs which strengthen and improve the 
     professional training of educational personnel who work with 
     limited-English-proficient and language-minority students.

       ``(a) In General.--For the purpose of carrying out the 
     provisions of this title (except part F), there are 
     authorized to be appropriated $215,000,000 for the fiscal 
     year 1995 and such sums as may be necessary for each of the 
     fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999.
       ``(b) Distribution.--From the sums appropriated under 
     subsection (a) for any fiscal year, the Secretary shall 
     reserve at least 25 percent for part C of this title.

     ``SEC. 7004. DEFINITIONS; REGULATIONS.

       ``(a) General Rule.--For purposes of this title--
       ``(1) The term `native language', when used with reference 
     to an individual, means the language normally used by such 
     individuals, or, in the case of a child, the language 
     normally used by the parents of the child.
       ``(2) The term `language-minority' means--
       ``(A) individuals whose native language is other than 
     English;
       ``(B) individuals who usually speak a language other than 
     English or come from home environments where a language other 
     than English is usually spoken; or
       ``(C) American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Native 
     Hawaiians and native residents of the territories and freely 
     associated nations.
       ``(3) The term `limited-English-proficient' means a 
     language-minority person who has difficulty understanding, 
     speaking, reading, or writing the English language at a level 
     appropriate to his or her age and grade and is, thereby, 
     academically disadvantaged in programs conducted exclusively 
     in English.
       ``(4) The term `bilingual education' refers to educational 
     programs for limited-English-proficient students which make 
     instructional use of both English and a student's native 
     language. Programs of bilingual education must enable 
     limited-English-proficient students to achieve English 
     proficiency and academic mastery of subject matter content 
     and higher order skills, including critical thinking, so as 
     to meet age-appropriate grade-promotion and graduation 
     standards in concert with national education goals. Bilingual 
     education programs may also develop the native language 
     skills of limited-English-proficient students, or ancestral 
     languages of American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Native 
     Hawaiians and native residents of the territories and freely 
     associated nations. English proficient students may 
     participate in bilingual education programs if the programs 
     are designed to enable all enrolled students to become 
     proficient in English and a second language.
       ``(5) The term `special alternative instructional program' 
     refers to educational programs for limited-English-proficient 
     students which utilize specially designed English language 
     curricula and services but do not use the student's native 
     language for instructional purposes. Special alternative 
     instructional programs must enable limited-English-proficient 
     students to achieve English proficiency and academic mastery 
     of subject matter content and higher order skills, including 
     critical thinking so as to meet age-appropriate grade-
     promotion and graduation standards in concert with national 
     education goals. Special alternative instructional programs 
     are suitable for schools where the diversity of the limited-
     English-proficient students' native languages and the small 
     number of students speaking each respective language makes 
     bilingual education impractical and where there is a critical 
     shortage of bilingual education teachers.
       ``(6) The term `family education programs' refers to 
     bilingual education or special alternative instructional 
     programs designed to help limited-English-proficient adults 
     and out-of-school youths achieve proficiency in the English 
     language and to provide instruction on how parents and family 
     members can facilitate the educational achievement of their 
     children. When feasible, instructional programs such as the 
     model developed under the Even Start Literacy Programs that 
     promote adult literacy and train parents to support the 
     educational growth of their children shall be developed. 
     Programs shall give preference to participation by parents 
     and immediate family members of children attending school. 
     Family education programs may also provide instruction to 
     facilitate higher education and employment outcomes.
       ``(7) The term `institution of higher education' has the 
     meaning given such term in section 1201(a) of the Higher 
     Education Act of 1965.
       ``(8) The term `Office' means the Office of Bilingual 
     Education and Minority Languages Affairs.
       ``(9) The term `community college' has the meaning given 
     such term in section 1201(a) of the Higher Education Act of 
     1965 for an institution which provides not less than a 2-year 
     program which is acceptable for full credit toward a 
     bachelor's degree, including institutions receiving 
     assistance under the Tribally Controlled Community College 
     Assistance Act of 1978.
       ``(10) The term `paraprofessional' means an individual who 
     is employed in preschool or elementary or secondary school 
     under the supervision of a certified or licensed teacher, 
     including individuals employed in bilingual education, 
     special education and migrant education.
       ``(11) The term `other programs for persons of limited-
     English-proficiency' means any programs administered by the 
     Secretary

[[Page 541]]

     that serve persons of limited-English-proficiency.
       ``(12) The term `community-based organization' means a 
     private nonprofit organization or Indian tribe or tribally 
     sanctioned educational authority which is representative of a 
     community or significant segments of a community and which 
     provides educational or related services to individuals in 
     the community. The term `community-based organization' 
     includes Native Hawaiian organizations (including Native 
     Hawaiian education organizations) as defined in section 4009 
     of Public Law 100-297).

     not be made to the agency under this part, or in the 
     discretion of the Secretary, that the State educational 
     agency shall not make further payments under this part to 
     specified local educational agencies whose actions cause or 
     are involved in such failure until the Secretary is satisfied

     (c) and (d) of this section, of the amount appropriated for 
     each fiscal year for this part, each State participating in 
     this program shall receive a share equal to the proportion of 
     its number of immigrant children and youth who are enrolled 
     in elementary and secondary public schools under the 
     jurisdiction of each local educational agency described in 
     paragraph (2) within that State, and in elementary and 
     secondary nonpublic schools within the district served by

     jurisdiction of such agencies, and in elementary or secondary 
     nonpublic schools within the districts served by such 
     agencies, during the fiscal year for which the payments are 
     to be made under this part, is equal to--

     provided to the Secretary by each State educational agency in 
     accordance with criteria established by the Secretary, unless 
     the Secretary determines, after notice and opportunity for a 
     hearing to the affected State educational agency, that such 
     data or estimate are clearly erroneous.
       ``(2) No such determination with respect to the number of 
     immigrant children and youth shall operate because of an

     determination been made on the basis of accurate data.

     shall make such amount available for carrying out such 
     purpose to one or more other States to the extent the 
     Secretary determines that such other States will be able to 
     use such additional amount of carrying out such purpose. Any 
     amount made available to a State from any appropriation for a 
     fiscal year in accordance with the preceding sentence shall, 
     for purposes of this part, be regarded as part of such 
     State's payment (as determined under subsection (b)) for such 
     year, but shall remain available until the end of the 
     succeeding fiscal year.

     educational agency may reserve up to 20 percent of its 
     payment for redistribution through competitive grants to 
     local educational agencies within the State in the following 
     manner:
       ``(A) At least one-half of such grants shall be made to 
     local educational agencies within the State with the highest 
     numbers and percentages of immigrant children and youth.
       ``(B) Remaining funds may be distributed to local 
     educational agencies within the State with a sudden influx of 
     immigrant children and youth which are otherwise not eligible 
     for assistance under this part.

     immigrant children and youth receiving additional funds under 
     this subsection may make information available on serving 
     immigrant children and youth to areas in the State with 
     sparse numbers of such children.

     Act of September 30, 1950 (Public Law 874, 81st Congress) as

     revenues available to, the local educational agency in the 
     State with the highest such per-pupil expenditures or 
     revenues did not exceed the amount of such per-pupil 
     expenditures made by, or per-pupil revenues available to, the 
     local educational agency in the State with the lowest such 
     expenditures or revenues by more than 10 percent.
       ``(ii) If a program of State aid uses a `weighted-pupil', 
     `classroom', `instructional unit', or other designated unit 
     of need in determining allocations of State aid in order to 
     take account of special cost differentials, the computation 
     of per-pupil revenue or current

     expenditures may be made on the basis of any such unit of 
     need.

     expenditures or revenues above the 95th percentile or below 
     the 5th percentile of such expenditures or revenues in the 
     State; and

     State aid reflects the additional cost of providing free 
     public education in particular types of local educational 
     agencies, such as those that are geographically isolated, or 
     to particular types of students, such as children with 
     disabilities.

     Secretary determines that the State has substantially revised 
     its program of State aid, the Secretary may certify such 
     program for any fiscal year only if--
       ``(A) the Secretary determines, on the basis of projected 
     data, that the State's program will meet the 10 percent 
     disparity standard described in paragraph (2) in that fiscal 
     year; and
       ``(B) the State provides an assurance to the Secretary 
     that, if final data do not demonstrate that the State's 
     program met such standard for that year (or that it met such 
     standard with a greater percentage of disparity than 
     anticipated), the State will pay to each affected local 
     educational agency the amount by which it reduced State aid 
     to the local educational agency on the basis of such 
     certification, or a proportionate share thereof, as the case 
     may be.

     civil penalty under the order of the proposal to issue the 
     order; and

     determined or agreed upon in compromise may be deducted from 
     any sums that the United States owes to the person against 
     whom the penalty is assessed.

     assessment of a penalty pursuant to paragraph (2) and is 
     aggrieved by an order assessing a civil penalty may file a

``PART H--SENSE OF THE CONGRESS TO INCREASE THE TOTAL SHARE OF FEDERAL 
                         SPENDING ON EDUCATION

       ``(a) The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) in order to increase our Nation's standard of living 
     and to increase the number of good jobs, the United States 
     must increase its productivity and ability to compete in the 
     international marketplace by improving the educational level 
     of our workforce;
       ``(2) although efforts are being made to establish higher 
     educational standards and goals, there is a substantial 
     shortage of resources to meet such standards and goals;
       ``(3) States and local communities are finding it 
     increasingly difficult to meet even higher educational 
     standards and goals, and States will not be able to fund 
     needed changes without Federal help to reach such standards 
     and goals;
       ``(4) the Federal Government has established many 
     educational programs but failed to provide adequate funding 
     for such programs, for example one such program provides 
     education to our Nation's disabled students and was 
     established with a promise of 40 percent Federal funding but 
     currently receives only 8 percent Federal funding;
       ``(5) the annual shortfall in Federal education programs is 
     approximately half of the promised funding;
       ``(6) many needed educational improvements will not need 
     Federal funds, however, other suggested changes such as 
     lengthened school years, better pay, after-school activities, 
     mentoring for students at risk, programs for gifted students, 
     and replacing substandard buildings will require substantial 
     Federal assistance; and
       ``(7) the Federal contribution to education is less than 2 
     percent of the total Federal budget, and in order to make 
     education a national priority, the total percentage of 
     Federal educational funding should be increased by 1 percent 
     each year over the next 8 years to reach 10 percent of the 
     total Federal budget.
       ``(b) It is the sense of the Congress that the total share 
     of the Federal spending on education should increase by at 
     least 1 percent each year until such share reaches 10 percent 
     of the total Federal budget.
                ``TITLE X--COORDINATED SERVICES PROJECTS

     ``SEC. 10001. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       ``(1) Growing numbers of children are negatively affected 
     by influences outside of the classroom which increase their 
     risk of academic failure.
       ``(2) Factors such as poor nutrition, unsafe living 
     conditions, physical and sexual abuse, family and gang 
     violence, inadequate health care, unemployment, lack of child 
     care and substance abuse adversely affect family 
     relationships and the ability of a child to learn.
       ``(3) Parents and other caregivers in today's high pressure 
     society often face demands which place restraints on their 
     time and affect their ability to adequately provide for the 
     needs of their families.
       ``(4) Access to health and social service programs can 
     address the basic physical and emotional needs of children so 
     that they can fully participate in the learning experiences 
     offered them in school.
       ``(5) Services for at-risk students need to be more 
     convenient, less fragmented, regulated and duplicative in 
     order to meet the needs of children and their families.
       ``(6) School personnel, parents, and support service 
     providers often lack knowledge of, and access to, available 
     services for at-risk students and their families in the 
     community, and have few resources to coordinate services and 
     make them accessible.
       ``(7) Service providers, such as teachers, social workers, 
     health care and child care providers, juvenile justice 
     workers and others, are often trained in separate disciplines 
     that provide little support for the coordination of services.
       ``(8) Coordination of services is more cost effective 
     because it substitutes prevention for expensive crisis 
     intervention.
       ``(9) Coordinating health and social services with 
     education can help the Nation meet the National Education 
     Goals by ensuring better outcomes for children.
       ``(b) Purpose of Coordinating Services.--The purpose of 
     this section is to provide elementary and secondary school 
     students and their families better access to the social, 
     health and education services necessary for students to 
     succeed in school and for their families to take an active 
     role in ensuring that children receive the best possible 
     education.

       ``(1) According to a 1991 survey conducted by the American 
     Association of School Administrators, 74 percent of all 
     public school buildings in the United States need to be 
     replaced.
       ``(2) Almost one-third of such buildings were built prior 
     to World War II.
       ``(3) It is estimated that 1 of every 4 public school 
     buildings in the United States is in inadequate condition, 
     and of such buildings, 61 percent need maintenance or major 
     repairs, 43 percent are obsolete, 42 percent contain 
     environmental hazards, 25 percent are overcrowded, and 13 
     percent are structurally unsound.

     be undertaken in an economical manner, and that any such 
     construction, reconstruction or renovation is not or will not 
     be of elaborate or extravagant design or materials.

     urban areas has a direct ef-

     cities;
       ``(3) the success of urban schools in boosting the 
     achievement of its minority youth attending such schools will 
     determine the ability of the Nation to close the gap between 
     the `haves and have-nots' in society;
       ``(4) the cost to America's businesses to provide remedial 
     education to high school graduates is approximately 
     $21,000,000,000 per year;

     be minority by the year 2000;

     proficient children and 15 percent of the Nation's disabled 
     youth are enrolled in urban schools;
       ``(9) the academic performance of students in the average 
     inner-city public school system is below that of students in 
     most other kinds of school systems;
       ``(10) urban schools systems have higher dropout rates, 
     more problems with health care and less parental 
     participation than other kinds of school systems;

     2.5 times greater than such shortages in other kinds of

     years old, 33 percent of such buildings are over 50 years 
     old, and such buildings are often in serious disrepair and

     1994 grants under this section and under subpart 2 of part D 
     of chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary

     total amount as the number of children, aged 3 through 21, 
     determined under subsection (a)(3) for such agency or unit 
     bears to the total number of such children determined for all 
     such agencies and units that apply for such funds.

     program that received fiscal year 1994 funds under subpart 2 
     of part D of chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965 receives, from the 
     combination of such funds and funds provided under paragraph

     under subsection (a)(3) for such agency; multiplied by

     educational agency that received fiscal year 1994 funds under 
     such subpart for children who had transferred from a State-
     owned, State-operated, or State-supported school or program 
     assisted under such subpart receives, from the combination of 
     such funds and funds provided under paragraph (1), an amount 
     for each such child, aged 3 through 21, determined under 
     subsection (a)(3) for such agency, equal to the per-child 
     amount the agency received under such subpart for fiscal year 
     1994.

     children determined under subsection (a)(3) for any State

     shall distribute them in accordance with this section, except 
     that any State that has used funds available under subsection 
     (c)(2)(A)(ii) for the purposes described in subsection (d)(2) 
     may--

     educational agency shall fix dates by which each local 
     educational agency or intermediate educational unit shall 
     report to the State agency the amount of funds available to 
     it under this section that it estimates it will expend.

     with this section, reallocate any funds that it determines 
     will not be used during the period of availability by such 
     local educational agencies and intermediate educational

     would be available if it applied for them under this part, to 
     such local educational agencies and intermediate educational 
     units that the State educational agency determines will need, 
     and be able to use, additional funds to carry out approved 
     programs.''.

       (d) Section 5.--Section 5 of such Act (20 U.S.C. 635) is 
     amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 5. LIMITATION ON TOTAL PAYMENTS TO ANY LOCAL 
                   EDUCATIONAL AGENCY.

       ``(a) Subject to the limitations in subsection (c) the 
     total of the payments to a local educational agency under 
     this Act may not exceed the sum of--
       ``(1) the estimated increase, since the base year, in the 
     number of children determined with respect to such agency who 
     live on Federal property and have a parent who works on 
     Federal property multiplied by 100 percent of the average per 
     pupil cost of constructing minimum school facilities in the 
     State in which the school district of such agency is 
     situated;
       ``(2) the estimated increase, since the base year, in the 
     number of children determined with respect to such agency who 
     have a parent who lives on or works on Federal property 
     multiplied by 50 percent of such cost; and
       ``(3) In computing for any local educational agency the 
     number of children in an increase under paragraph (1) or (2), 
     the estimated number of children described in such paragraph 
     who will be in the membership of the schools of such agency 
     at the close of the increase period shall be compared with 
     the estimated number of such children in average daily 
     membership of the schools of such agency during the base 
     year. However, the base year average daily membership shall 
     be adjusted to exclude the number of children that formed the 
     basis for previous payments on applications approved 30 or 
     more years prior to the close of the increased period for the 
     current application.
       ``(b) If two of the paragraphs of subsection (a) apply to a 
     child, the local educational agency shall elect which of such 
     paragraphs shall apply to such child, except that, 
     notwithstanding the election of a local educational agency to 
     have paragraph (2) apply to a child instead of paragraph (1), 
     the determination of the maximum amount for such agency under 
     subsection (a) shall be made without regard to such election.
       ``(c) A local educational agency shall not be eligible to 
     have any amount included in its maximum by reason of 
     paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (a) unless the 
     increase in children referred to in such paragraph is at 
     least 20, and in the case of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of 
     subsection (a), is--
       ``(1) equal to at least 6 percent of the number of 
     federally connected children who were in the average daily 
     membership of the schools of such agency during the base 
     year, or
       ``(2) at least 750,
     whichever is the lesser.
       ``(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) of 
     this section, whenever and to the extent that, in his 
     judgment, exceptional circumstances exist which make such 
     action necessary to avoid inequity and avoid defeating the 
     purposes of the Act, the Secretary may waive or reduce the 
     minimum number requirement or any percentage requirement or 
     requirements in subsection (c).
       ``(e) In determining under this section the total of the 
     payments which may be made to a local educational agency on 
     the basis of any application, the total number of children 
     counted for purposes of paragraph (1) or (2), as the case may 
     be, of subsection (a) may not exceed--
       ``(1) the number of children whose membership at the close 
     of the increase period for the application is compared with 
     average daily membership in the base period for purposes of 
     that paragraph, provided that the base year average daily 
     membership does not include any children which formed the 
     basis of payment in the applications approved 30 or more 
     years ago, minus
       ``(2) the number of such children whose membership at the 
     close of the increase period was compared with membership in 
     the base year for purposes of such paragraph under the last 
     previous application, provided the application was funded 
     within the last 4 years, if any, of the agency on the basis 
     of which any payments have been or may be made to that 
     agency.''.
       (e) Section 6.--Section 6 of such Act (20 U.S.C. 636) is 
     amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(d) If the application has not been funded within the 3-
     year period, the local educational agency must recertify 
     their need to have the application remain active.''.

     SEC. 351. BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.

       Part B of title XI of Public Law 95-561 (25 U.S.C. 2001 et 
     seq.) is amended to read as follows:

              ``PART B--BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS PROGRAMS

     ``SEC. 1121. STANDARDS FOR THE BASIC EDUCATION OF INDIAN 
                   CHILDREN IN BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS SCHOOLS.

       ``(a) The purpose of the standards developed under this 
     section shall be to afford Indian students being served by a 
     Bureau funded school with the same opportunities as all other 
     students to achieve the high goals embodied in the Goals 
     2000: Educate America Act. Consistent with the provisions of 
     this section and section 1131 of this part, the Secretary 
     shall take such actions as are necessary to coordinate 
     standards developed and implemented under this section with 
     those in the State plans developed and implemented pursuant 
     to the Goals 2000: Educate America Act for the States in 
     which each Bureau funded school operates. In developing and 
     reviewing these standards and such coordination, the 
     Secretary shall utilize the findings and recommendations of 
     the panel established by the Goals 2000: Educate America Act.
       ``(b) The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Education, and in consultation with Indian organizations and 
     tribes, shall carry out or cause to be carried out by 
     contract with an Indian organization such studies and 
     surveys, making the fullest use possible of other existing 
     studies, surveys, and plans, as are necessary to establish 
     and revise standards for the basic education of Indian 
     children attending Bureau funded schools. Such studies and 
     surveys shall take into account factors such as academic 
     needs, local cultural differences, type and level of language 
     skills, geographic isolation, and appropriate teacher-student 
     ratios for such children, and shall be directed toward the 
     attainment of equal eductional opportunity for such children.
       ``(c)(1) Within 18 months of the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary shall revise the minimum academic 
     standards published in the Federal Register of November 1983 
     for the basic education of Indian children which are 
     consistent with subsections (a) and (b) of this section and 
     section 1131, and shall distribute such revised standards in 
     the Federal Register for the purpose of receiving comments 
     from the tribes and other interested parties. Within 21 
     months of the date of enactment of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act Amendments of 1993, the Secretary 
     shall establish final standards, distribute such standards to 
     all the tribes and publish such standards in the Federal 
     Register. The Secretary shall revise such standards 
     periodically as necessary. Prior to any revision of such 
     standards, the Secretary shall distribute such proposed 
     revision to all the tribes, and publish such proposed 
     revision in the Federal Register, for the purpose of 
     receiving comments from the tribes and other interested 
     parties.
       ``(2) Such standards shall apply to Bureau schools, and 
     subject to subsection (f), to contract and grant schools, and 
     may also serve as a model for educational programs for Indian 
     children in public schools. In establishing and revising such 
     standards, the Secretary shall take into account the special 
     needs of Indian students and the support and reinforcement of 
     the specific cultural heritage of each tribe. Such standards 
     shall include a requirement, developed in coordination with 
     Indian tribes, the affected local school boards, the Indian 
     Health Service of the Department of Health and Human 
     Services, the State health departments, and the Centers for 
     Disease Control and Prevention, on immunization for childhood 
     diseases, including provisions for in-school immunization, 
     where necessary.
       ``(d) The Secretary shall provide alternative or modified 
     standards in lieu of the standards established under 
     subsection (c), where necessary, so that the programs of each 
     school shall be in compliance with the minimum standards 
     required for accreditation of schools in the State where the 
     school is located.
       ``(e) A tribal governing body, or the local school board so 
     designated by the tribal governing body, shall have the local 
     authority to waive, in part or in whole, the standards 
     established under subsections (c) and (d), where such 
     standards are deemed by such body to be inappropriate or ill-
     conceived. The tribal governing body or designated school 
     board shall, within 60 days thereafter, submit to the 
     Secretary a proposal for alternative standards that takes 
     into account the specific needs of the tribe's children. Such 
     revised standards shall be established by the Secretary 
     unless specifically rejected by the Secretary for good cause 
     and in writing to the affected tribes or local school board, 
     which rejection shall be final and unreviewable.
       ``(f)(1) The Secretary, through contracting and grant-
     making procedures, shall assist school boards of contract and 
     grant schools in the implementation of the standards 
     established under subsection (c) and (d), if the school 
     boards request that such standards, in part or in whole, be 
     implemented. At the request of a contract or grant school 
     board, the Secretary shall provide alternative or modified 
     standards for the standards established under subsections (c) 
     and (d) to take into account the needs of the Indian children 
     and the contract or grant school.
       ``(2) Within 1 year of the date of the enactment of the 
     Indian Education Technical Amendments Act of 1985, the Bureau 
     shall, either directly or through contract with an Indian 
     organization, establish a consistent system of reporting 
     standards for fiscal control and fund accounting for all 
     contract schools. Such standards shall yield data results 
     comparable to those used by Bureau schools.
       ``(g) Subject to subsections (e) and (f), the Secretary 
     shall begin to implement the standards established under this 
     section immediately upon the date of their establishment. No 
     later than January 1, 1995, and at each time thereafter that 
     the annual budget request for Bureau educational services is 
     presented, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate 
     committees of Congress a detailed plan to bring all Bureau 
     and contract and grant schools up to the level required by 
     the applicable standards established under this section. Such 
     plan shall include, but not

[[Page 572]]

     be limited to, detailed information on the status of each 
     school's educational program in relation to the applicable 
     standards established under this section, specific cost 
     estimates for meeting such standards at each school, and 
     specific time lines for bringing each school up to the level 
     required by such standards.
       ``(h)(1) Except as specifically required by statute, no 
     school or peripheral dormitory operated by the Bureau of 
     Indian Affairs on or after January 1, 1992, may be closed or 
     consolidated or have its program substantially curtailed 
     unless done according to the requirements of this subsection, 
     except that, in those cases where the tribal governing body, 
     or the local school board concerned (if so designated by the 
     tribal governing body), requests closure or consolidation, 
     the requirements of this subsection shall not apply. The 
     requirements of this subsection shall not apply when a 
     temporary closure, consolidation, or substantial curtailment 
     is required by plant conditions which constitute an immediate 
     hazard to health and safety.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall, by regulation, promulgate 
     standards and procedures for the closing, consolidation, or 
     substantial curtailment of Bureau schools in accordance with 
     the requirements of this subsection.
       ``(3) Whenever closure, transfer to any other authority, 
     consolidation, or substantial curtailment of a school is 
     under active consideration or review by any division of the 
     Bureau or the Department of the Interior, the affected tribe, 
     tribal governing body, and designated local school board, 
     will be notified as soon as such consideration or review 
     begins, kept fully and currently informed, and afforded an 
     opportunity to comment with respect to such consideration or 
     review. When a formal decision is made to close, transfer to 
     any other authority, consolidate, or substantially curtail a 
     school, the affected tribe, tribal governing body, and 
     designated local school board shall be notified at least 6 
     months prior to the end of the school year preceding the 
     proposed effective date. Copies of any such notices and 
     information shall be transmitted promptly to the Congress and 
     published in the Federal Register.
       ``(4) The Secretary shall make a report to Congress, the 
     affected tribe, and the designated local school board 
     describing the process of the active consideration or review 
     referred to in paragraph (3). At a minimum, the report shall 
     include a study of the impact of such action on the student 
     population, with every effort to identify those students with 
     particular educational and social needs, and to ensure that 
     alternative services are available to such students. Such 
     report shall include the description of the consultation 
     conducted between the potential service provider, current 
     service provider, parents, tribal representative and the 
     tribe or tribes involved, and the Director of the Office of 
     Indian Education Programs within the Bureau regarding such 
     students. No irreversible action may be taken in furtherance 
     of any such proposed school closure, transfer to any other 
     authority, consolidation, or substantial curtailment 
     (including any action which would prejudice the personnel or 
     programs of such school) until the end of the first full 
     academic year after such report is made.
       ``(5) The Secretary may terminate, contract, transfer to 
     any other authority, or consolidate or substantially curtail 
     the operation or facilities of--
       ``(A) any Bureau funded school that is operated on or after 
     April 1, 1987,
       ``(B) any program of such a school that is operated on or 
     after April 1, 1987, or

     under the Tribally Controlled Schools Act of 1988 (Public Law 
     100-297),

     sums as may be necessary, for academic program costs, in 
     order to bring all Bureau and contract schools up to the 
     level required by the applicable standards established under 
     this section.
       ``(j)(1) All schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs 
     shall include within their curriculum a program of

     prevention and treatment. The Assistant Secretary shall

     implement such a program for students in kindergarten and 
     grades 1 through 12, at the request of--
       ``(A) any Bureau of Indian Affairs school (subject to the 
     approval of the school board of such school);

       ``(1) the number of eligible Indian students served and 
     size of the school;
       ``(2) special cost factors, such as--
       ``(A) isolation of the school;

     educational programs;

     physical condition of the educational facilities;
       ``(E) special transportation and other costs of isolated 
     and small schools;

     necessary by a tribal governing body or designated local 
     school board;
       ``(G) costs associated with greater lengths of service by 
     educational personnel; and
       ``(H) special programs for gifted and talented students;
       ``(3) the cost of providing academic services which are at 
     least equivalent to those provided by public schools in the 
     State in which the school is located; and
       ``(4) such other relevant factors as the Secretary 
     determines are appropriate.
     Upon the establishment of the standards required by sections 
     1121 and 1122 of this Act, the Secretary shall revise the 
     formula established under this subsection to reflect the cost 
     and funding standards so established. Prior to January 1, 
     1995, the Secretary shall review the formula established 
     under this section and shall take such steps as may be 
     necessary to increase the availability of counseling services 
     for students in off-reservation boarding schools and other 
     Bureau operated residential facilities. Concurrent with such 
     action, the Secretary shall review the standards established 
     under section 1121 of this title to be certain that adequate 
     provision is made for parental notification regarding, and 
     consent for, such counseling services.
       ``(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, Federal 
     funds appropriated for the general local operation of Bureau 
     funded schools, shall be allotted pro rata in accordance with 
     the formula established under subsection (a).
       ``(c)(1) For fiscal year 1990, and for each subsequent 
     fiscal year, the Secretary shall adjust the formula 
     established under subsection (a) to--
       ``(A) use a weighted unit of 1.2 for each eligible Indian 
     student enrolled in the seventh and eighth grades of the 
     school in considering the number of eligible Indian students 
     served by the school;
       ``(B) consider a school with an enrollment of less than 50 
     eligible Indian students as having an average daily 
     attendance of 50 eligible Indian students for purposes of 
     implementing the adjustment factor for small schools; and
       ``(C) take into account the provision of residential 
     services on a less than 9-month basis at a school when the 
     school board and supervisor of the school determine that a 
     less than 9-month basis will be implemented for the school 
     year involved.
       ``(2)(A) The Secretary shall reserve for national school 
     board training 0.2 percent of the funds appropriated for each 
     fiscal year for distribution under this section. Such 
     training shall be conducted through the same organizations 
     through which, and in the same manner in which, the training 
     was conducted in fiscal year 1992. If the contract for such 
     training is not awarded before May 1 of each fiscal year, the 
     contract under which such training was provided for the 
     fiscal year preceding such fiscal year shall be renewed by 
     the Secretary for such fiscal year. The agenda for the 
     training sessions shall be established by the school boards 
     through their regional or national organizations.
       ``(B) For each year in which the Secretary uses a weighted 
     unit formula established under subsection (a) to fund Bureau 
     schools, a Bureau school which generates less than 168 
     weighted units shall receive an additional 2 weighted units 
     to defray school board activities.
       ``(C) From the funds allotted in accordance with the 
     formula established under subsection (a) for each Bureau 
     school, the local school board of such school may reserve an 
     amount which does not exceed the greater of--
       ``(i) $5,000, or
       ``(ii) the lesser of--
       ``(I) $15,000, or
       ``(II) 1 percent of such allotted funds,
     for school board activities for such school, including but 
     not limited to, and notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, meeting expenses and the cost of membership in, and 
     support of, organizations engaged in activities on behalf of

     be used for the later of the following fiscal years and for 
     each fiscal year succeeding such later fiscal year--

     for distribution for each fiscal year under this section an 
     amount which, in the aggregate, shall equal 1 percent of the 
     funds available for such purpose for that fiscal year. Such 
     funds shall be used, at the discretion of the Director of the 
     Office, to meet emergencies and unforeseen contingencies 
     affecting the education programs funded under this section. 
     Funds reserved under this subsection may only be expended for 
     education services or programs at a schoolsite (as defined in 
     section 5204(c)(2) of the Tribally Controlled Schools Act of

     cooperative agreement with an entity having proven expertise 
     in the field of school finance, and after consultation with 
     tribes and national Indian organizations, a study to 
     determine the feasibility and desirability of changing the 
     method of financing for Bureau funded schools from the 
     weighted student unit formula method in effect on the date of

     the standards which will best meet those needs (including any 
     standards or conditions reflecting local community input and 
     the program developed under this part), the personnel profile 
     necessary to establish such program and the cost (determined 
     on an actual basis) of funding such a program. Such a system 
     would include procedures to aggregate the determinations for 
     each school site to determine the amount needed to fund all 
     Bureau-funded schools, to prepare a budget submission based 
     upon such aggregate and would provide for a mechanism for 
     distributing such sums as may be appropriated based upon the 
     determination at each school site.

     SEC. 402. FINDINGS; PURPOSE; DEFINITIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) a Department of Education was established in 1867 ``for 
     the purpose of collecting such statistics and facts as shall 
     show the condition and progress of education in the several 
     States and territories, and of diffusing such information 
     respecting the organization and management of schools and 
     school systems and methods of teaching as shall aid the 
     people of the United States in the establishment and 
     maintenance of efficient school systems, and otherwise 
     promote the cause of education throughout the country'';
       (2) today, while the role of the current Department of 
     Education is much broader, the National Center for Education 
     Statistics within the Department's Office of Educational 
     Research and Improvement continues to perform those crucial 
     original purposes; and
       (3) looking to the 21st century, the National Center for 
     Education Statistics must be able to design and undertake, 
     effectively and efficiently, statistical activities that will 
     aid in reform of the Nation's educational systems.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to ensure the 
     continuation of an effective mechanism for collecting and 
     reporting statistics and information showing the condition 
     and progress of education in the United States and other 
     nations in order to promote and accelerate the improvement of 
     American education.
       (c) Definitions.--For the purpose of this title, the term--

       (3) ``institution of higher education'' has the same 
     meaning given such term in section 1201 of the Higher 
     Education Act of 1965;
       (4) ``local educational agency'' has the same meaning given 
     such term in section 9101(13) of the Elementary and Secondary

       (6) ``State educational agency'' has the same meaning given 
     such term in section 9101(20) of the Elementary and Secondary

       (7) ``United States'' and ``State'' mean--
       (A) other than for the purpose of section 411, each of the 
     50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of 
     Puerto Rico; and
       (B) for the purpose of section 411, mean the same as in 
     subparagraph (A) and include Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin 
     Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,

       (3)(A) For each fiscal year, the non-Federal share for the 
     purpose of paragraph (2)(B) shall be--
       (i) the cost of conducting the assessment at the school

     providing for active participation of teachers, curriculum 
     specialists, local school administrators, parents, and 
     concerned members of the general public;
       (ii) used on a trial basis until the Commissioner 
     determines, through an evaluation under subsection (f), that 
     such levels meet the standards under paragraph (2) and are 
     reasonable, valid, and informative to the public; and
       (iii) updated as appropriate.
       (B) In using such levels on a trial basis, the Commissioner 
     and the Board may only issue reports on such levels separate 
     and apart from the regular reports on the National Assessment 
     and State assessments.
       (4) After determining that such levels are reasonable, 
     valid and informative, the Commissioner may use such levels 
     or other methods or indicators for reporting results of the 
     National Assessment and State assessments.

     Commissioner shall provide for continuing reviews by the 
     National Academy of Education or the National Academy of 
     Sciences of the National Assessment, State assessments, local 
     educational agency assessments, and student performance 
     levels. Such reviews shall address whether each trial state 
     assessment is properly administered, produces high quality 
     data that is valid and reliable, produces data on student 
     achievement that is not otherwise available to the State 
     exclusive of data comparing participating States to each 
     other and the Nation, and is a cost-effective method of 
     producing the data. The Commissioner shall also carry out 
     evaluation studies by the Center and solicitation of public 
     comment on the conduct and usefulness of the National 
     Assessment. The Commissioner shall report to the Congress,

     Secretary of Defense may enter into an agreement, including 
     such terms as are mutually satisfactory, to include in the 
     National Assessment the defense dependents education system 
     established under the Defense Dependents' Education Act of 
     1978.
       (2) The Secretary and the Secretary of the Interior may 
     enter into an agreement, including such terms as are mutually 
     satisfactory, to include in the National Assessment schools

       (a)(1) In collaboration with the national assessment 
     conducted pursuant to title I of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act as amended by this Act, the Secretary of 
     Education shall conduct a comprehensive evaluation of how the 
     Federal Government has assisted the States to reform their 
     educational systems through the various education laws 
     enacted during the 103d Congress.
       (2) Such evaluation shall encompass the changes made in 
     Federal programs pursuant to this Act as well as in any other 
     law enacted during this Congress amending a Federal program 
     assisting pre-elementary, elementary, or secondary education. 
     In addition, such evaluation shall encompass new initiatives 
     enacted into law, such as the Goals 2000: Educate America 
     Act, and the School-to-Work Opportunities Act and shall be 
     coordinated with evaluations of such Acts.
       (b)(1) This evaluation shall include a comprehensive review 
     of these laws and programs to determine their overall effect 
     on--
       (A) the readiness of children for schooling,
       (B) the improvement in educational attainment of students 
     in elementary and secondary education, and
       (C) the improvement in skills needed by students to obtain 
     employment upon completion of high school or further 
     education.
       (2) This evaluation shall also include a comprehensive 
     review of these programs to determine their overall effect--
       (A) on school reform efforts undertaken by States,
       (B) on efforts by States to adopt educational standards to 
     improve schooling for all children, to align their curricula, 
     teacher training, and assessments with such standards, and to 
     bring flexibility to the rules governing how education is to 
     be provided, and
       (C) on student populations who have been the traditional 
     beneficiaries of Federal assistance to determine whether 
     their educational attainment has been improved through these 
     changes.
       (3) This evaluation shall also evaluate how the National 
     Assessment Governing Board, the Advisory Council on Education 
     Statistics, the National Education Goals Panel, the National 
     Education Statistics and Improvement Council and any other 
     Board established to analyze, address, or approve standards 
     and assessments coordinates, interacts, and/or duplicates 
     efforts to assist the States to reform their educational 
     systems.
       (4) This evaluation shall also include a review of these 
     laws and programs in such detail as the Secretary deems 
     appropriate and may involve cooperation with other Federal 
     departments and agencies in order to incorporate their 
     evaluations and recommendations.
       (c)(1) The Secretary shall appoint an independent panel to 
     review the plan for this evaluation, to advise on its 
     progress, and to comment, if it so wishes, on the final 
     report. The panel shall not be subject to the Federal 
     Advisory Committee Act.
       (2) The Secretary shall submit this report by January 1, 
     1998, to the Committee on Education and Labor of the United 
     States House of Representatives and to the Committee on Labor 
     and Human Resources.

Para. 31.26  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to angola

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FARR, 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 September 
26, 1993, concerning the national emergency with respect to Angola that 
was declared in Executive Order No. 12865 of that date. 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).
  On September 26, 1993, I declared a national emergency with respect to 
Angola, invoking the authority, inter alia, of the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and the Untied 
Nations Participation Act of 1945 (22 U.S.C. 287c). Consistent with 
United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 864, dated September 15, 
1993, the order prohibits the sale or supply by United States persons or 
from the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of 
arms and related materiel of all types, including weapons and 
ammunition, military vehicles, equipment and spare parts, and petroleum 
and petroleum products to the territory of Angola other than through 
designated points of entry. The order also prohibits such sale or supply 
to the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (``UNITA''). 
United States persons are prohibited from activities that promote or are 
calculated to promote such sales or supplies, or from attempted 
violations, or from evasion or avoidance or transactions that have the 
purpose of evasion or avoidance, of the stated prohibitions. The order 
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, to take such actions including the promulgation of 
rules and regulations, as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of 
the order.
  1. On December 10, 1993, the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign 
Assets Control (``FAC'') issued the UNITA (Angola) Sanctions Regulations 
(the ``Regulations'') (58 Fed. Reg. 64904) to implement the President's 
declaration of a national emergency and imposition of sanctions against 
UNITA. A copy of the Regulations is attached for reference.
  The Regulations prohibit the sale or supply by United States persons 
or from the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, 
of arms and related materiel of all types, including weapons and 
ammunition, military vehicles, equipment and spare parts, and petroleum 
and petroleum products to UNITA or to the territory of Angola other than 
through designated points. United States persons are also prohibited 
from activities that promote or are calculated to promote such sales or 
supplies to UNITA or Angola, or from any transaction by any United 
States persons that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or 
avoiding, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in 
the Executive order. Also prohibited are transactions by United States 
persons, or involving the use of U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft 
relating to transportation to Angola or to UNITA of goods the 
exportation of which is prohibited.
  The Government of Angola has initially designated the following points 
of entry as points in Angola to which the articles otherwise prohibited 
by the Regulations may be shipped: Airports: Luanda, and Katumbela, 
Benguela Province; Ports: Luanda, Lobito, Benguela Province, and Namibe, 
Namibe Province; and Entry Points: Malongo, Cabinda Province. Although 
no specific license is required by the Department of the Treasury for 
shipments to these designated points of entry (unless the item is 
destined for UNITA), any such exports remain subject to the licensing 
requirements of the Departments of State and/or Commerce.
  2. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from September 26, 1993, through March 25, 1994, that are 
directly attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities 
conferred by the declaration of a national emergency with respect to 
UNITA are reported at about $85,000, most of which represents wage and 
salary costs for Federal personnel. Personnel costs were largely 
centered in the Department of the Treasury (particularly in the FAC, the 
U.S. Customs Service, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement, and the Office of the General Counsel) and the Department 
of State (particularly the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs and 
the Office of the Legal Adviser).
  I shall continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant 
developments, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1703(c).

Para. 31.27  message from the president--panama canal commission

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  As required by section 3522 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484; 22 U.S.C. 3611 note), I 
transmit herewith the recommendations for changes to the Panama Canal 
Commission. I have determined that the adoption of these recommendations 
would facilitate and encourage the operation of the Canal through an 
autonomous entity under the Government of Panama after the transfer of 
the waterway on December 31, 1999, pursuant to the Panama Canal Treaty 
of 1977 and related agreements.
  In accordance with the law cited above, an extensive study of the 
governance and financial management structure of the Panama Canal 
Commission was conducted. The study and its recommendations were then 
considered and discussed among representatives of the Departments of 
State, Defense, the Treasury, Commerce, Transportation, and Justice, as 
well as the Panama Canal Commission. The study, and the process that 
followed it, formed the basis for my recommendations, which are 
contained in the attached document.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, April 12, 1994.

  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. 103-228).

       (1) By striking ``(2)'' and inserting ``(3)'';

     on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed

       Insert at an appropriate place the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO VIOLENCE AGAINST 
                   TRUCKERS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) there are 8,000,000 workers in the trucking industry in 
     the United States, some working for large carriers and some 
     for small carriers, some for private carriers and some owner 
     operators, all assisting the free flow commerce by 
     transporting all types of commodities that enter, leave, or 
     move within this country;
       (2) unemployment, crime, and drug use have contributed to 
     an increase of violence against commercial truckers, an 
     increase that has gone unrecognized by the public at large;
       (3) few State or local authorities report violent crimes 
     against truckers as such to the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation, statistics do not reflect this fast-growing 
     and increasingly violent segment of crime;
       (4) the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated 282 
     truck hijackings involving crimes of violence in 1993, not 
     including attempted crimes and crimes addressed by State, 
     county, and local authorities;
       (5) the Federal Government in large measure finances the 
     highway system the trucking industry uses, collecting large 
     sums in taxes from the industry, and licenses and regulates 
     the industry and its drivers, entailing a concomitant 
     responsibility to protect them against crime;
       (6) Federal law provides protections to truckers in among 
     others, sections 33 and 1951 of title 18, United States Code, 
     but currently Federal prosecutions are not undertaken unless 
     certain monetary thresholds of loss are met.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) when there is Federal jurisdiction, Federal authorities 
     should prosecute to the fullest extent of the law murders, 
     rapes, bur- 

[[Page 611]]

     glaries, kidnappings and assaults committed against 
     commercial truckers; and
       (2) appropriate Federal agencies should acknowledge this 
     problem and place a priority on evaluating how best to 
     prevent these crimes and apprehend those involved, and 
     continue to coordinate their activities with multi-
     jurisdictional authorities to combat violent crimes committed 
     against truckers.
       Page 272, line 5, after ``minorities,'' insert ``providing 
     specialized domestic violence court advocates in courts where 
     a significant number of protective orders are granted,''.

     inserting ``10 years'';

     this title, or imprisoned not more than two years'' and 
     inserting ``under this title or imprisoned not more than 
     10''; and

     offenses

     military installations selected before the date of the 
     enactment of this Act to be closed pursuant to a base closure 
     law for the purpose of evaluating the suitability of any of 
     these installations, or portions of these installations, for

     conversion into Federal prison facilities. The Federal prison

     sentence of more then 20 years.

     myriad of social service support programs have been among the

     low-income communities.
       (4) Families in low-income communities have not attained 
     their full potential as productive citizens, and Federal 
     efforts thus far, have been insufficient to assist them in 
     fully realizing that potential.

     SEC.   2. PROGRAM AUTHORITY.

       The Secretary of Health and Human Services (in this 
     subtitle referred to as the ``Secretary'') may make grants to 
     eligible may make grants to eligible service providers in one 
     or more political subdivisions of a State containing an area 
     designated as an empowerment zone, as authorized under the 
     Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-
     66), that have submitted an approved plan to establish 
     advisory organization in low-in-come communities within the 
     political subdivision containing an empowerment zone which 
     will serve as umbrella agencies for strategic planning and 
     evaluation of service programs serving the low-income 
     communities in which the advisory organization operates.

     SEC.   3. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.

       Each advisory organization established as described in 
     section   2 shall--
       (1) provide a permanent multi-issue forum for public policy 
     discussion which will serve as part of a stable 
     infrastructure of community outreach and support,
       (2) develop a mechanism by which local support service 
     providers may be evaluated and assessed in the level of 
     service they provide to the community, and which establishes 
     a method for advisory organization participants to review and 
     participate in efforts to maintain or increase the quality of 
     services provided by such providers,
       (3) create an Family Outreach Team approach which provides 
     a youth worker, a parent worker, and a school-parent 
     organizer to provide training in outreach, mentoring, 
     community organizing and peer counseling and mentoring to 
     locally recruited volunteers in a particular area. The Family 
     Outreach Team assists such volunteers in outreach, 
     development and coordination of service delivery from among 
     the service providers in the area, including the schools.
       (4) establish processes by which local public agencies can 
     effectively involve the private sector in the provision of 
     services that meet the needs of local communities,
       (5) establish processes of coalition building in which 
     diverse groups within low-income communities attempt to low-
     income communities, and
       (6) create a training program to foster community-based 
     leadership in low-income communities.

     SEC.  4. ELIGIBLE PROVIDERS.

       Consortia of public and private nonprofit local social 
     service organizations that have a proven ability to involve 
     disparate populations of low-income citizens and competing

     section   2.

     SEC.  5. APPLICATIONS.

       Applications may be submitted, for approval by the 
     Secretary, by eligible service providers at such time and in 
     such manner as the Secretary may reasonably require. Such 
     applications shall contain--

     organizations, and citizens will not be on the basis of 
     religious preference or affiliation,
       (2) assurances that participating organizations and 
     citizens will not offer services based on any religious 
     preference or affiliation, and
       (3) assurances that such service provides will, to the

     individuals, alcohol- and drug-addicted individuals, and gang 
     involved or violent youth.

     SEC.  6. EVALUATION.

       The Secretary shall commence a program to evaluate the 
     success and effectiveness of this program 2 years after the 
     program has received an appropriation, and such evaluation 
     shall be completed no later than 1 year after the second 
     program year has been completed. A report thereon shall be 
     submitted to the Congress within 60 days of the completion of 
     the evaluation.

        Subtitle   --Gang Prevention Services for Boys and Girls

     SEC.  1. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) services provided through existing federally supported 
     gang prevention programs do not adequately address the needs 
     of boys and girls in communities with high levels of gang 
     activity and other barriers to service (such as large 
     concentrations of minority populations that have limited 
     English speaking proficiency, geographically isolated 
     populations, and communities in which social service 
     providers are limited or nonexistent);
       (2) children that are exposed to gang activity at an early 
     age are more likely to become gang-involved than children who 
     are exposed to such activity later in life, or children that 
     are never exposed to such activity;
       (3) gangs are increasingly targeting younger children for 
     recruitment, especially children at middle schools and 
     elementary schools;
       (4) Federal studies indicate that violent crime has 
     increased more significantly in the gang population compared 
     to the adult population; and
       (5) small community-based service agencies with strong ties 
     to the educational and law enforcement systems offer the best 
     chance to prevent young children from becoming involved in 
     gangs.

     SEC.  2. PROGRAM AUTHORITY.

       The Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and 
     Delinquency Prevention (hereafter referred to as the 
     ``Administrator''), in consultation with the Department of 
     Education and the Department of Health and Human Resources, 
     may make grants to eligible service providers to carry out 
     programs that prevent young children from becoming gang 
     involved. In making such grants, the Administrator shall give 
     a priority to eligible service providers that have a proven 
     track record of serving young children and have an overall 
     budget of not more than $750,000 a fiscal year, prior to 
     receiving a grant under this section.

     SEC.   3. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.

       The eligible service providers receiving a grant under 
     section   2 shall--
       (1) provide a comprehensive array of support services to 
     assist the participants to reach their full potential as a 
     contributing law-abiding citizen (such support services may 
     include, but not be limited to: education and health 
     services; career development training; music/art/drama 
     activities; physical fitness training; life skills training; 
     mental health counseling; and job placement counseling);
       (2) to the extent practical, involve the parents and other 
     family members of participating children, and the members of 
     local organizations that support the educational and law 
     enforcement institutions of the community, as is appropriate, 
     in the administration and operation of the gang prevention 
     program;
       (3) utilize community resources and related support 
     services as needed in the operation of the program;
       (4) accept referrals from public institutions, as is 
     appropriate, such as law enforcement, mental health, local 
     school systems, and other entities of local government; and
       (5) utilize volunteer staff, including participants in 
     programs funded under the National and Community Service 
     Program, Public Law 103-62, to the maximum extent practicable 
     in the operation of the program.

     SEC.   4. ELIGIBLE PROVIDERS.

       Community-based service providers, as defined in the 
     Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, that 
     have a proven track record of providing services to children 
     ages 5 to 18 shall be eligible to apply for funds under this 
     subtitle. A priority shall be given to those service 
     providers that have a history of providing services uniquely 
     designed to meet the needs of young children such as the Boys 
     and Girls Clubs of America or service providers that display 
     the potential for providing such targeted services.

     SEC.   5. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS.

       Children that have the potential, because of community 
     composition and other factors, to come into contact with 
     gangs, or who have a family member that has come into contact 
     with a gang, and are not more than 18 years old at the time 
     of entry into the program, shall be eligible to receive 
     services provided by programs receiving assistance under this 
     subtitle.

       Eligible service providers may submit to the Administrator, 
     for approval, an application in such form at such time as the 
     Administrator deems appropriate.

     SEC.   7. EVALUATION.

       The Administrator shall conduct an evaluation of the 
     effectiveness of the program model grants authorized under 
     this subtitle, and the extent to which it can be replicated 
     by other local communities. The Administrator shall report to 
     the Congress no later than January 1, 1999, on the details of 
     such evaluations.

     SEC.   8. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

       There are authorized to be appropriated $20,000,000 for 
     fiscal year 1995, and such sums as may be necessary for

     unlawfully within the United States or willing to submit to 
     voluntary deportation under safeguard.

     SEC.  . FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) there is no more important responsibility of government 
     than the protection of the lives and property of its 
     citizens;
       (2) a violent crime occurs every 22 seconds in America;
       (3) the Nation's law enforcement personnel and criminal 
     justice system lack the resources they need to fully maintain 
     law and order;
       (4) the proliferation of drugs and guns in the last 3 
     decades has dramatically changed the nature of crime;
       (5) it has been 27 years since the Brown Commission 
     redefined the Federal Government's response to crime in 
     America; and
       (6) the Nation must commit itself to an energetic, 
     innovative assault on the epidemic of crime in our society, 
     including--
       (A) alternative forms of sentencing to guarantee swift and 
     sure punishment of criminals, including the Nation's growing 
     number of youth offenders;
       (B) initiatives by the public and private sectors designed 
     to identify and alleviate the causes of criminal behavior; 
     and
       (C) an examination of current laws and law enforcement 
     practices to determine where and how resources may be best 
     utilized to fight crime, reduce burdens on courts and jails, 
     and stop recidivism.

Para. 33.13  recorded vote

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

       Page 46, after line 21, insert the following:
       ``(d) Aggravating Factors for Drug Offense Death Penalty.--
     In determining whether to recommend a sentence of death for 
     an offense described in paragraph (3), (4), or (5) of section 
     3591, the jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall 
     consider any aggravating factor for which notice has been 
     provided under section 3593 of this title, including the 
     following factors:
       ``(1) Previous conviction of offense for which a sentence 
     of death or life imprisonment was authorized.--The defendant 
     has previously been convicted of another Federal or State 
     offense resulting in the death of a person, for which a 
     sentence of life imprisonment or death was authorized by 
     statute.
       ``(2) Previous conviction of other serious offenses.--The 
     defendant has previously been convicted of two or more 
     Federal or State offenses, each punishable by a term of 
     imprisonment of more than one year, committed on different 
     occasions, involving the importation, manufacture, or 
     distribution of a controlled substance (as defined in section 
     102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)) or the 
     infliction of, or attempted infliction of, serious bodily 
     injury or death upon another person.
       ``(3) Previous serious drug felony conviction.--The 
     defendant has previously been convicted of another Federal or 
     State offense involving the manufacture, distribution, 
     importation, or possession of a controlled substance (as 
     defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 
     U.S.C. 802)) for which a sentence of five or more years of 
     imprisonment was authorized by statute.
       ``(4) Use of firearm.--In committing the offense, or in 
     furtherance of a continuing

[[Page 621]]

     criminal enterprise of which the offense was a part, the 
     defendant used a firearm or knowingly directed, advised, 
     authorized, or assisted another to use a firearm, as defined 
     in section 921 of this title, to threaten, intimidate, 
     assault, or injure a person.
       ``(5) Distribution to persons under twenty-one.--The 
     offense, or a continuing criminal enterprise of which the 
     offense was a part, involved conduct proscribed by section 
     418 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.
       ``(6) Distribution near schools.--The offense, or a 
     continuing criminal enterprise of which the offense was a 
     part, involved conduct proscribed by section 419 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.
       ``(7) Using minors in trafficking.--The offense or a 
     continuing criminal enterprise of which the offense was a 
     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.
       Page 51, line 7, strike ``, in the case'' and all that 
     follows through ``the jury'' in line 14, and insert ``an 
     aggravating factor required to be considered under section 
     3592 is found to exist, the jury''.

Para. 33.15  recorded vote

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

       Page 48, strike line 1 through line 2.
       Page 51, strike line 14 and all that follows through line 3 
     on page 52 and insert the following:
     the jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall then 
     consider whether the aggravating factor or factors found to 
     exist outweigh any mitigating 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. The jury shall be 
     instructed that its recommendation concerning a sentence of 
     death is to be based on the aggravating factor or factors and 
     any mitigating factors which have been found, but that the 
     final decision concerning the balance of aggravating and 
     mitigating factors is a matter for the jury's judgment.
       Page 53, beginning in line 3, strike ``or life imprisonment 
     without possibility of release''.

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

Para. 33.21  congressional budget for u.s., 1995

  On motion of Mr. SABO, by unanimous consent, the concurrent resolution 
(H. Con. Res. 218) setting forth the congressional budget for the United 
States Government for fiscal years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999; 
together with the amendment of the Senate thereto, was taken from the 
Speaker's table.
  When on motion of Mr. SABO, it was,
  Resolved, That the House disagree to the amendment of the Senate and 
agree to the conference asked by the Senate on the disagreeing votes of 
the two Houses thereon.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 33.22  motion to instruct conferees--h. con. res. 218

  Mr. KASICH moved that the managers on the part of the House at the 
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on H. Con. Res. 
218, be instructed to agree to the Senate amendment reflecting a $26 
billion reduction in the deficit over five years by agreeing to reduce 
the total spending levels specified in section 2(2) and 2(3) of the 
House-passed resolution as follows:

       Fiscal year 1995--$4.4 billion in budget authority and $1.6 
     billion in outlays;
       Fiscal year 1996--$4.9 billion in budget authority and $1.5 
     billion in outlays;
       Fiscal year 1997--$5.8 billion in budget authority and $4 
     billion in outlays;
       Fiscal year 1998--$9.9 billion in budget authority and $7 
     billion in outlays; and
       Fiscal year 1999--$21.8 billion in budget authority and 
     $9.9 billion in outlays.
       Provided further, That conferees be instructed to agree to 
     that portion of section 50 of the Senate amendment which 
     provides that ``If the President's defense budget request is 
     approved, since 1985 real defense spending will have been 
     reduced by 45 percent by 1999; and President Clinton, during 
     his State of the Union Address on January 25, 1994, promised 
     no further cuts in defense spending'' and therefore insist 
     that no further cuts be made in defense by agreeing to the 
     highest possible level of funding for defense (within the 
     scope of the conference).

  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, 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, Ms. SHEPHERD, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. KASICH 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. 34.19  iranian baha'i emancipation

  Mr. GEJDENSON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution of the Senate (S. Con. Res. 31): 

       Whereas in 1982, 1984, 1988, 1990, and 1992, the Congress, 
     by concurrent resolution, declared that it holds the 
     Government of Iran responsible for upholding the rights of 
     all its nationals, including members of the Baha'i Faith, 
     Iran's largest religious minority;
       Whereas in such resolutions and in numerous other appeals, 
     the Congress condemned the Government of Iran's religious 
     persecution of the Baha'i community, including the execution 
     of more than 200 Baha'is, the imprisonment of additional 
     thousands, and other repressive and discriminatory actions 
     against Baha'is based solely upon their religious beliefs;
       Whereas in 1992, the Government of Iran summarily executed 
     a leading member of the Baha'i community, arrested and 
     imprisoned several other Baha'is, condemned two Baha'i 
     prisoners to death on account of their religion, and 
     confiscated individual Baha'is' homes and personal properties 
     in several cities;
       Whereas the Government of Iran continues to deny the Baha'i 
     community the right to organize, to elect its leaders, to 
     hold community property for worship or assembly, to operate 
     religious schools and to conduct other normal religious 
     community activities; and
       Whereas on February 22, 1993, the United Nations Commission 
     on Human Rights published a formerly confidential Iranian 
     government document constituting a blueprint for the 
     destruction of the Baha'i community, which document reveals 
     that these repressive actions are the result of a deliberate 
     policy designed and approved by the highest officials of the 
     Government of Iran: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) continues to hold the government of Iran responsible 
     for upholding the rights of all its nationals, including 
     members of the Baha'i community, in a manner consistent with 
     Iran's obligations under the Universal Declaration of Human 
     Rights and other international agreements guaranteeing the 
     civil and political rights of its citizens;
       (2) condemns the repressive anti-Baha'i policy adopted by 
     the Government of Iran, as set forth in a confidential 
     official document which explicitly states that Baha'is shall 
     be denied access to education and employment, and that the 
     government's policy is to deal

[[Page 631]]

     with Baha'is ``in such a way that their progress and 
     development are blocked'';
       (3) expresses concern that individual Baha'is continue to 
     suffer from severely repressive and discriminatory government 
     actions, solely on account of their religion; and that the 
     Baha'i community continues to be denied legal recognition and 
     the basic rights to organize, elect its leaders, educate its 
     youth, and conduct the normal activities of a law-abiding 
     religious community;
       (4) urges the Government of Iran to extend to the Baha'i 
     community the rights guaranteed by the Universal Declaration 
     of Human Rights and the international covenants on human 
     rights, including the freedom of thought, conscience, and 
     religious, and equal protection of the law; and
       (5) calls upon the President to continue--
       (A) to emphasize that the United States regards the human 
     rights practices of the Government of Iran, particularly its 
     treatment of the Baha'i community and other religious 
     minorities, as a significant factor in the development of the 
     United States Government's relations with the Government of 
     Iran;
       (B) to urge the Government of Iran to emancipate the Baha'i 
     community by granting those rights guaranteed by the 
     Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the international 
     covenants on human rights; and
       (C) to encourage other governments to continue to appeal to 
     the Government of Iran, and to cooperate with other 
     governments and international organizations, including the 
     United Nations and its agencies, in efforts to protect the 
     religious rights of the Baha'is and other minorities through 
     joint appeals to the Government of Iran and through other 
     appropriate actions.
       Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy 
     of this concurrent resolution to the President.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MILLER of California, recognized Mr. 
GEJDENSON 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?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MILLER of California, announced that two-
thirds of the Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  Mr. PORTER 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. MILLER of California, pursuant to clause 
5, rule I, announced that further proceedings on the motion were 
postponed until Tuesday, April 19, 1994, pursuant to the prior 
announcement of the Chair.

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

                    TITLE VIII--HABEAS CORPUS REFORM

     SEC. 801. FILING DEADLINES.

       Section 2254 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by 
     adding at the end the following:
       ``(g)(1) In the case of an applicant under sentence of 
     death, any application for habeas corpus relief under this 
     section must be filed in the appropriate district court not 
     later than 1 year after--
       ``(A) the date of denial of a writ of certiorari, if a 
     petition for a writ of certiorari to the highest court of the 
     State on direct appeal or unitary review of the conviction 
     and sentence is filed, within the time limits established by 
     law, in the Supreme Court;
       ``(B) the date of issuance of the mandate of the highest 
     court of the State on direct appeal or unitary review of the 
     conviction and sentence, if a petition for a writ of 
     certiorari is not filed, within the time limits established 
     by law, in the Supreme Court; or
       ``(C) the date of issuance of the mandate of the Supreme 
     Court, if on a petition for a writ of certiorari the Supreme 
     Court grants the writ and disposes of the case in a manner 
     that leaves the capital sentence undisturbed.
       ``(2) The time requirements established by this section 
     shall be tolled--
       ``(A) during any period in which the State has failed to 
     provide counsel as required in section 2257 of this chapter;
       ``(B) during the period from the date the applicant files 
     an application for State postconviction relief until final 
     disposition of the application by the State appellate courts, 
     if all filing deadlines are met; and
       ``(C) during an additional period not to exceed 90 days, if 
     counsel moves for an extension in the district court that 
     would have jurisdiction of a habeas corpus application and 
     makes a showing of good cause.''.

     SEC. 802. STAYS OF EXECUTION IN CAPITAL CASES.

       Section 2251 of title 28, United States Code, is amended--
       (1) by inserting ``(a)(1)'' before the first paragraph;
       (2) by inserting ``(2)'' before the second paragraph; and
       (3) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(b) In the case of an individual under sentence of death, 
     a warrant or order setting an execution shall be stayed upon 
     application to any court that would have jurisdiction over an 
     application for habeas corpus under this chapter. The stay 
     shall be contingent upon reasonable diligence by the 
     individual in pursuing relief with respect to such sentence 
     and shall expire it--
       ``(1) the individual fails to apply for relief under this 
     chapter within the time requirements established by section 
     2254(g) of this chapter;

[[Page 637]]

       ``(2) upon completion of district court and court of 
     appeals review under section 2254 of this chapter, the 
     application is denied and--
       ``(A) the time for filing a petition for a writ of 
     certiorari expires before a petition is filed;
       ``(B) a timely petition for a writ of certiorari is filed 
     and the Supreme Court denies the petition; or
       ``(C) a timely petition for certiorari is filed and, upon 
     consideration of the case, the Supreme Court disposes of it 
     in a manner that leaves the capital sentence undisturbed; or 
     ``(3) before a court of competent jurisdiction, in the 
     presence of counsel qualified under section 2257 of this 
     chapter and after being advised of the consequences of the 
     decision, an individual waives the right to pursue relief 
     under this chapter.''.

     SEC. 803. LAW APPLICABLE.

       (a) In General.--Chapter 153 of title 28, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

     ``Sec. 2256. Law applicable

       ``In an action under this chapter, the court shall not 
     apply a new rule. As used in this section, the term ``new 
     rule' means a clear break from precedent, announced by the 
     Supreme Court of the United States, that could not reasonably 
     have been anticipated at the time the claimant's sentence 
     became final in State court. A rule is not `new' merely 
     because it was not dictated or compelled by the precedents 
     existing at that time or because, at that time, it was 
     susceptible to debate among reasonable minds.''.
       (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the 
     beginning of chapter 153 of title 28, United States Code, is 
     amended by adding at the end the following new item:

``2256. Law applicable.''.

     SEC. 804. COUNSEL IN CAPITAL CASES; STATE COURT.

       (a) In General.--Chapter 153 of title 28, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding after the section added by section 
     803 the following:

     Sec. 2257. Counsel in capital cases; State court

       ``(a) Notwithstanding section 2254(d) of this chapter, the 
     court in an action under this chapter shall neither presume a 
     finding of fact made in a State court proceeding specified in 
     subsection (b)(1) of this section to be correct nor decline 
     to consider a claim on the ground that it was not raised in 
     such a proceeding at the time or in the manner prescribed by 
     State law, unless--
       ``(1) the relevant State maintains a mechanism for 
     providing legal services to indigents in capital cases that 
     meets the specifications in subsection (b) of this section;
       ``(2) if the applicant in the instant case was eligible for 
     the appointment of counsel and did not waive such an 
     appointment, the State actually appointed an attorney or 
     attorneys to represent the applicant in the State proceeding 
     in which the finding of fact was made or the default 
     occurred; and
       ``(3) the attorney or attorneys so appointed substantially 
     met both the qualification standards specified in subsection 
     (b)(3)(A) or (b)(4) of this section and the performance 
     standards established by the appointing authority.
       ``(b) A mechanism for providing legal services to indigents 
     within the meaning of subsection (a)(1) of this section shall 
     include the following elements:
       ``(1) The State shall provide legal services to--
       ``(A) indigents charged with offenses for which capital 
     punishment is sought;
       ``(B) indigents who have been sentenced to death and who 
     seek appellate, collateral, or unitary review in State court; 
     and
       ``(C) indigents who have been sentenced to death and who 
     seek certiorari review of State court judgments in the United 
     States Supreme Court.
       ``(2) The State shall establish a counsel authority, which 
     shall be--
       ``(A) a statewide defender organization;
       ``(B) a resource center; or
       ``(C) a counsel authority appointed by the highest State 
     court having jurisdiction over criminal matters, consisting 
     of members of the bar with substantial experience in, or 
     commitment to, the representation of criminal defendants in 
     capital cases, and comprised of a balanced representation 
     from each segment of the State's criminal defense bar.
       ``(3) The counsel authority shall--
       ``(A) publish a roster of attorneys qualified to be 
     appointed in capital cases, procedures by which attorneys are 
     appointed, and standards governing qualifications and 
     performance of counsel, which shall include--
       ``(i) knowledge and understanding of pertinent legal 
     authorities regarding issues in capital cases; and
       ``(ii) skills in the conduct of negotiations and litigation 
     in capital cases, the investigation of capital cases and the 
     psychiatric history and current condition of capital clients, 
     and the preparation and writing of legal papers in capital 
     cases;
       ``(B) monitor the performance of attorneys appointed and 
     delete from the roster any attorney who fails to meet 
     qualification and performance standards; and
       ``(C) appoint a defense team, which shall include at least 
     2 attorneys, to represent a client at the relevant stage of 
     proceedings, within 30 days after receiving notice of the 
     need for the appointment from the relevant State court.
       ``(4) An attorney who is not listed on the roster shall be 
     appointed only on the request of the client concerned and in 
     circumstances in which the attorney requested is able to 
     provide the client with quality legal representation.
       ``(5) No counsel appointed pursuant to this section to 
     represent a prisoner in State postconviction proceedings 
     shall have previously represented the prisoner at trial or on 
     direct appeal in the case for which the appointment is made, 
     unless the prisoner and counsel expressly request continued 
     representation.
       ``(6) The ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel 
     appointed pursuant to this section during State or Federal 
     postconviction proceedings shall not be a ground for relief 
     in a proceeding arising under section 2254 of this title. 
     This limitation shall not preclude the appointment of 
     different counsel at any phase of State or Federal 
     postconviction proceedings.
       ``(7) Upon receipt of notice from the counsel authority 
     that an individual entitled to the appointment of counsel 
     under this section has declined to accept such an 
     appointment, the court requesting the appointment shall 
     conduct, or cause to be conducted, a hearing, at which the 
     individual and counsel proposed to be appointed under this 
     section shall be present, to determine the individual's 
     competency to decline the appointment, and whether the 
     individual has knowingly and intelligently declined it.
       ``(8) Attorneys appointed pursuant to this section shall be 
     compensated on an hourly basis pursuant to a schedule of 
     hourly rates as periodically established by the counsel 
     authority after consultation with the highest State court 
     with jurisdiction over criminal matters. Appointed counsel 
     shall be reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred in 
     representing the client, including the costs of law clerks, 
     paralegals, investigators, experts, or other support 
     services.
       ``(9) Support services for staff attorneys of a defender 
     organization or resource center shall be equal to the 
     services listed in paragraph (8).
       ``(10) This section shall take effect one year after the 
     date of the enactment of this section.''.
       (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the 
     beginning of chapter 153 of title 28, United States Code, is 
     amended by adding after the item added by section 803 the 
     following new item:

``2257. Counsel in capital cases; State court.''.

     SEC. 805. SUCCESSIVE FEDERAL PETITIONS.

       Section 2244(b) of title 28, United States Code, is 
     amended--
       (1) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(b)'';
       (2) by inserting ``, in the case of an applicant not under 
     sentence of death,'' after ``When''; and
       (3) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(2) In the case of an applicant under sentence of death, 
     a claim presented in a second or successive application, that 
     was not presented in a prior application under this chapter, 
     shall be dismissed unless--
       ``(A) the applicant shows that--
       ``(i) the basis of the claim could not have been discovered 
     by the exercise of reasonable diligence before the applicant 
     filed the prior application; or
       ``(ii) the failure to raise the claim in the prior 
     application was due to action by State officials in violation 
     of the Constitution of the United States; and
       ``(B) the facts underlying the claim would be sufficient, 
     if proven, to undermine the court's confidence in the 
     applicant's guilt of the offense or offenses for which the 
     capital sentence was imposed, or in the applicant's legal 
     eligibility for that sentence.''.

     SEC. 806. CERTIFICATES OF PROBABLE CAUSE.

       The third paragraph of section 2253, of title 28, United 
     States Code, is amended to read as follows:
       ``An appeal may not be taken to the court of appeals from 
     the final order in a habeas corpus proceeding where the 
     detention complained of arises out of process issued by a 
     State court, unless the justice or judge who rendered the 
     order or a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of 
     probable cause. However, an applicant under sentence of death 
     shall have a right of appeal without a certification of 
     probable cause, except after denial of a second or successive 
     application.''.

     SEC. 807. DUTIES OF THE DISTRICT COURT.

       Section 2254(a) of title 28, United States Code, is amended 
     by adding at the end the following:
       ``In adjudicating the merits of any such ground, the court 
     shall exercise independent judgment in ascertaining the 
     pertinent Federal legal standards and in applying those 
     standards to the facts and shall not defer to a previous 
     State court judgment regarding a Federal legal standard or 
     its application. Upon request, the court shall permit the 
     parties to present evidence regarding material facts that 
     were not adequately developed in State court. The court shall 
     award relief with respect to any meritorious constitutional 
     ground, unless, in the case of a violation that can be 
     harmless, the respondent shows that the error was harmless 
     beyond a reasonable doubt.''.

     SEC. 808. CLAIMS OF INNOCENCE.

       (a) In General.--Chapter 153 of title 28, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding after the provision added by 
     section 804 of this title the following:

     ``Sec. 2258. Claims of innocence

       ``(a) At any time, and notwithstanding any other provision 
     of law, a district court shall issue habeas corpus relief on 
     behalf of an applicant under sentence of death, imposed 
     either in Federal or in State court, who offers credible 
     newly discovered evidence which, had it been presented to the 
     trier of fact or

[[Page 638]]

     sentencing authority at trial, would probably have resulted 
     in--
       ``(1) an acquittal of the offense for which the death 
     sentence was imposed; or
       ``(2) a sentence other than death.
       ``(b) An application filed pursuant to subsection (a) shall 
     offer substantial evidence which, if credible, would 
     establish one of the standards in subsection (a)(1) or (2). 
     An application that fails to do so may be dismissed.
       ``(c) If the court concludes that an application meets the 
     requirements in subsection (b), the court shall--
       ``(1) order the respondent to file an answer;
       ``(2) permit the parties to conduct reasonable discovery;
       ``(3) conduct a hearing to resolve disputed issues of fact; 
     and
       ``(4) upon request, issue a stay of execution pending 
     further proceedings in the district court and on direct 
     review of the district court's judgment.
       ``(d) If the court concludes that the applicant meets the 
     standards established by subsection (a)(1) or (2), the court 
     shall order his or her release, unless a new trial or, in an 
     appropriate case, a new sentencing proceeding, is conducted 
     within a reasonable time.
       ``(e) If the court determines that the applicant is 
     currently entitled to pursue other available and effective 
     remedies in either State or Federal court, the court may, at 
     the request of either party, suspend its consideration of the 
     application under this section until the applicant has 
     exhausted those remedies. A stay issued pursuant to 
     subsection (c) shall remain in effect during such a 
     suspension.
       ``(f) An application under this section may be consolidated 
     with any other pending application under this chapter, filed 
     by the same applicant.''.
       (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the 
     beginning of chapter 153 of title 28, United States Code, is 
     amended by adding after the item added by section 804 the 
     following new item:

``2258. Claims of innocence.''.

Para. 35.26  recorded vote

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

       Add at the appropriate place the following:

                      TITLE  --TRUTH IN SENTENCING

     SEC.  . GRANTS.

       The Attorney General is authorized to provide grants to 
     States to build, expand, or operate space in correctional 
     facilities in order to increase the prison bed capacity in 
     such facilities in order to reach the goals set forth in 
     section

     SEC.  . FEDERAL FUNDS.

       (a) Distribution of Funds in Fiscal Year 1995.--Of the 
     total amount of funds appropriated under this title in fiscal 
     year 1995, there shall be allocated to each State an amount 
     which bears the same ratio to the amount of funds 
     appropriated pursuant to this title as the number of part I 
     violent crimes reported by the States to the Federal Bureau 
     of Investigation for 1993 bears to the number of part I 
     violent crimes reported by all States to the Federal Bureau 
     of Investigation for 1993.
       (b) Distribution of Funds in Fiscal Years 1996 Through 
     1999.--75 percent of the total amount of funds appropriated 
     under this title in fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 
     shall be allocated to each State according to the formula 
     establish in subsection (a) adjusted to reflect in each year 
     the most recent data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
     reporting Part I violent crimes.
       (c) Good Faith Effort.--In order to be eligible for funding 
     under subsections (a) and (b), a State shall submit an 
     application and give the Attorney General assurances that it 
     will make a good faith and cost effective effort to become 
     eligible for a grant under subsection (d).
       (d) Truth in Sentencing Incentive Fund.--25 percent of the 
     total amount of funds appropriated under this title in each 
     of the fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 shall be 
     allocated to each eligible State according to the same ratios 
     established in subsection (b) multiplied by the percentage 
     change in the States' percentage of time to be served by the 
     persons convicted of violent crimes divided by the average of 
     all States' percentage change in percentage of time to be 
     served by the persons convicted of violent crimes. States 
     which have achieved a Truth in Sentencing standard of violent 
     criminals serving 85 percent of prison time assessed shall 
     receive the incentive funds based on the average of such 
     percentage change ratios of all States multiplied by the 
     States percentage of total Part I violent crime reported.
       (e) Eligibility for Truth in Sentencing Incentive Fund.--In 
     order to be eligible for grants under subsection (d), a State 
     must demonstrate that it has since 1993--
       (1) increased the percentage of convicted violent offenders 
     sentenced to prison;
       (2) increased the average prison time actually to be served 
     in prison by convicted violent offenders sentenced to prison; 
     and
       (3) increased the percentage of sentence to be actually 
     served in prison by violent offenders sentenced to prison.
       (f) Law Changes.--As evidence of such good faith effort to 
     meet the goals contained in subsection (e), a State may make 
     changes to its laws and regulations which may include--
       (1) truth in sentencing laws which will require persons 
     convicted of violent crimes to serve not less than 85 percent 
     of the sentence imposed;
       (2) mandatory prison sentences for persons convicted of the 
     most serious violent crimes;
       (3) pretrial detention for persons whose release it can be 
     shown would pose a danger to any other person or the 
     community;
       (4) sentencing authority to allow the defendant's victims 
     or the family of victims the opportunity to be heard 
     regarding the issue of sentencing and provide that the victim 
     or the victim's family will be notified whenever such 
     defendant is to be released; or
       (5) that a person who is convicted of a serious violent 
     crime shall be sentenced to life imprisonment if--
       (A) the person has been convicted on 2 or more prior 
     occasions in a court of the United States or of a State of a 
     serious violent crime, or of 1 or more serious violent crimes 
     and 1 or more serious drug offenses; and
       (B) each serious violent crime or serious drug offense used 
     as a basis for sentencing under this subsection, other than 
     the first, was committed after the defendant's conviction of 
     the preceding serious violent crime or serious drug offense.

     the absence of Federal funds, be made available from State 
     sources.
       (2) Administrative costs.--Not more than 3 percent of the 
     funds available under this section may be used for 
     administrative costs.

the Whole on the following substitute amendment submitted by Mr. HUGHES 
for the amendment submitted by Mr. McCOLLUM:
  Substitute amendment submitted by Mr. HUGHES:

       Strike title VI and insert the following:

                TITLE VI--VIOLENT OFFENDER INCARCERATION

     SEC. 601. GRANTS FOR CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES.

       (a) Grant Authorization.--The Attorney General may make 
     grants to individual States and to States, organized as 
     multi-State compacts, to develop, expand, modify, or improve 
     correctional facilities and programs to ensure that prison 
     cell space is available for the confinement of violent 
     offenders.
       (b) Eligibility.--To be eligible to receive a grant under 
     this title a State or States, organized as multi-State 
     compacts, shall submit an application to the Attorney General 
     which includes--
       (1) assurances that the State or States, have implemented, 
     or will implement, correctional policies and programs, 
     including truth in sentencing laws that ensure that violent 
     offenders serve a substantial portion of the sentences 
     imposed, that are designed to provide sufficiently severe 
     punishment for violent offenders, including violent juvenile 
     offenders, and that the prison time served is appropriately

Para. 35.34  honorable thomas p. ``tip'' o'neill year

       Whereas the death of the late Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives, Thomas P. ``Tip'' O'Neill, Jr., on January 
     5, 1994, has created not only a personal loss to his many 
     friends and colleagues, but also a great loss to the Nation;
       Whereas Speaker O'Neill, is remembered by all for his 
     dedication to good government and his love for the people of 
     the United States;
       Whereas Speaker O'Neill's compassion and goodness of heart 
     and his spirit of cooperation and conciliation were evident 
     to all who knew him;
       Whereas in the House of Representatives and in his life, 
     Speaker O'Neill's personal charm and political skill 
     transcended differences of personality and party;
       Whereas Speaker O'Neill presided over the House of 
     Representatives from the Ninety-fifth Congress through the 
     Ninety-ninth Congress and emerged as one of the greatest 
     American political leader of this century; and
       Whereas it is appropriate that the House of Representatives 
     rededicate itself to the principles of leadership personified 
     by Speaker O'Neill: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That 1994 is designated as a year to honor the 
     memory and leadership qualities of the Honorable Thomas P. 
     ``Tip'' O'Neill, Jr., the late Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) three-fourths of high school students in the United 
     States enter the workforce without baccalaureate degrees, and 
     many do not possess the academic and entry-level occupational 
     skills necessary to succeed in the changing United States 
     workplace;
       (2) a substantial number of youths in the United States, 
     especially disadvantaged students, students of diverse 
     racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, and students with 
     disabilities, do not complete high school;
       (3) unemployment among youths in the United States is 
     intolerably high, and earnings of high school graduates have 
     been falling relative to earnings of individuals with more 
     education;
       (4) the workplace in the United States is changing in 
     response to heightened international competition and new 
     technologies, and such forces, which are ultimately 
     beneficial to the Nation, are shrinking the demand for and 
     undermining the earning power of unskilled labor;
       (5) the United States lacks a comprehensive and coherent 
     system to help its youths acquire the knowledge, skills, 
     abilities, and information about and access to the labor 
     market necessary to make an effective transition from school 
     to career-oriented work or to further education and training;
       (6) students in the United States can achieve high academic 
     and occupational standards, and many learn better and retain 
     more when the students learn in context, rather than in the 
     abstract;
       (7) while many students in the United States have part-time 
     jobs, there is infrequent linkage between--
       (A) such jobs; and
       (B) the career planning or exploration, or the school-based 
     learning, of such students;
       (8) the work-based learning approach, which is modeled 
     after the time-honored apprenticeship concept, integrates 
     theoretical instruction with structured on-the-job training, 
     and this approach, combined with school-based learning, can 
     be very effective in engaging student interest, enhancing 
     skill acquisition, developing positive work attitudes, and 
     preparing youths for high-skill, high-wage careers;
       (9) Federal resources currently fund a series of 
     categorical, work-related education and training programs, 
     many of which serve disadvantaged youths, that are not 
     administered as a coherent whole; and
       (10) in 1992 approximately 3,400,000 individuals in the 
     United States age 16 through 24 had not completed high school 
     and were not currently enrolled in school, a number 
     representing approximately 11 percent of all individuals in 
     this age group, which indicates that these young persons are 
     particularly unprepared for the demands of a 21st century 
     workforce.

     SEC. 3. PURPOSES AND CONGRESSIONAL INTENT.

       (a) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to establish a national framework within which all 
     States can create statewide School-to-Work Opportunities 
     systems that--
       (A) are a part of comprehensive education reform;
       (B) are integrated with the systems developed under the 
     Goals 2000: Educate America Act and the National Skill 
     Standards Act of 1994; and
       (C) offer opportunities for all students to participate in 
     a performance-based education and training program that 
     will--
       (i) enable the students to earn portable credentials;
       (ii) prepare the students for first jobs in high-skill, 
     high-wage careers; and
       (iii) increase their opportunities for further education, 
     including education in a 4-year college or university;
       (2) to facilitate the creation of a universal, high-quality 
     school-to-work transition system that enables youths in the 
     United States to identify and navigate paths to productive 
     and progressively more rewarding roles in the workplace;
       (3) to utilize workplaces as active learning environments 
     in the educational process by making employers joint partners 
     with educators in providing opportunities for all students to 
     participate in high-quality, work-based learning experiences;
       (4) to use Federal funds under this Act as venture capital, 
     to underwrite the initial costs of planning and establishing 
     statewide School-to-Work Opportunities systems that will be 
     maintained with other Federal, State, and local resources;
       (5) to promote the formation of local partnerships that are 
     dedicated to linking the worlds of school and work among 
     secondary schools and postsecondary educational institutions, 
     private and public employers, labor organizations, 
     government, community-based organizations, parents, students, 
     State educational agencies, local educational agencies, and 
     training and human service agencies;
       (6) to promote the formation of local partnerships between 
     elementary schools and secondary schools (including middle 
     schools) and local businesses as an investment in future 
     workplace productivity and competitiveness;
       (7) to help all students attain high academic and 
     occupational standards;
       (8) to build on and advance a range of promising school-to-
     work activities, such as tech-prep education, career 
     academies, school-to-apprenticeship programs, cooperative 
     education, youth apprenticeship, school-sponsored 
     enterprises, business-education compacts, and promising 
     strategies that assist school dropouts, that can be developed 
     into programs funded under this Act;
       (9) to improve the knowledge and skills of youths by 
     integrating academic and occupational learning, integrating 
     school-based and work-based learning, and building effective 
     linkages between secondary and postsecondary education;
       (10) to encourage the development and implementation of 
     programs that will require paid high-quality, work-based 
     learning experiences;
       (11) to motivate all youths, including low-achieving 
     youths, school dropouts, and youths with disabilities, to 
     stay in or return to school or a classroom setting and strive 
     to succeed, by providing enriched learning experiences and 
     assistance in obtaining good jobs and continuing their 
     education in postsecondary educational institutions;
       (12) to expose students to a broad array of career 
     opportunities, and facilitate the selection of career majors, 
     based on individual interests, goals, strengths, and 
     abilities;
       (13) to increase opportunities for minorities, women, and 
     individuals with disabilities, by enabling individuals to 
     prepare for careers that are not traditional for their race, 
     gender, or disability; and
       (14) to further the National Education Goals set forth in 
     title I of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act.
       (b) Congressional Intent.--It is the intent of Congress 
     that the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Education 
     jointly administer this Act in a flexible manner that--
       (1) promotes State and local discretion in establishing and 
     implementing statewide School-to-Work Opportunities systems 
     and School-to-Work Opportunities programs; and
       (2) contributes to reinventing government by--
       (A) building on State and local capacity;
       (B) eliminating duplication in education and training 
     programs for youths by integrating such programs into 1 
     comprehensive system;
       (C) maximizing the effective use of resources;
       (D) supporting locally established initiatives;
       (E) requiring measurable goals for performance; and
       (F) offering flexibility in meeting such goals.

Para. 36.9  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendments en bloc submitted by Mr. BROOKS:

       At the end insert the following new title:

                      TITLE XXIV--CRIMINAL ALIENS

     SEC. 2401. INCARCERATION OF UNDOCUMENTED CRIMINAL ALIENS.

       (a) Incarceration.--Section 242 of the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1252) is amended by adding at the 
     end the following:
       ``(j) Incarceration.--
       ``(1) If the chief official of the State (or, if 
     appropriate, a political subdivision of the State) exercising 
     authority with respect to the incarceration of an 
     undocumented criminal alien (sentenced to a determinate term 
     of imprisonment) submits a written request to the Attorney 
     General, the Attorney General shall, as determined by the 
     Attorney General--
       ``(A) enter into a contractual arrangement which provides 
     for compensation to the State of a political subdivision of 
     the State, as may be appropriate, with respect to the 
     incarceration of such undocumented criminal alien for such 
     determinate sentence of imprisonment, or
       ``(B) take the undocumented criminal alien into the custody 
     of the Federal Government and incarcerate such alien for such 
     determinate sentence of imprisonment.
       ``(2) Compensation under paragraph (1)(A) shall be 
     determined by the Attorney General and may not exceed the 
     median cost of incarceration of a prisoner in all maximum 
     security facilities in the United States as determined by the 
     Bureau of Justice Statistics.
       ``(3) For purposes of this subsection, the term 
     `undocumented criminal alien' means an alien who--
       ``(A) has been convicted of a felony and sentenced to a 
     term of imprisonment, and
       ``(B)(i) entered the United States without inspection or at 
     any time or place other than as designated by the Attorney 
     General,
       ``(ii) was the subject of exclusion or deportation 
     proceedings at the time he or she was taken into custody by 
     the State or a political subdivision of the State, or
       ``(iii) was admitted as a nonimmigrant and at the time he 
     or she was taken into custody by the State or a political 
     subdivision of the State has failed to maintain the 
     nonimmigrant status in which the alien was admitted or to 
     which it was changed under section 248, or to comply with the 
     conditions of any such status.
       ``(4)(A) In carrying out paragraph (1), the Attorney 
     General shall give priority to the Federal incarceration of 
     undocumented criminal aliens who have committed aggravated 
     felonies.
       ``(B) The Attorney General shall ensure that undocumented 
     criminal aliens incarcerated in Federal facilities pursuant 
     to this subsection are held in facilities which provide a 
     level of security appropriate to the crimes for which they 
     were convicted.''
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section 
     shall take effect October 1, 1994.
       (c) Limitation.--The authority created in section 242(j) of 
     the Immigration and Nationality Act (as added by subsection 
     (a)) shall be subject to appropriation until October 1, 1998.
       At the end of the bill add the following new title:

      TITLE    --NATIONAL STALKER AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE REDUCTION

     SEC.   . AUTHORIZING ACCESS TO FEDERAL CRIMINAL INFORMATION 
                   DATA BASES.

       (a) Access.--The Attorney General shall amend existing 
     regulations (published at 28 C.F.R. 20.33(a)) to authorize 
     the dissemination of information from existing national crime 
     information databases, including the National Crime 
     Information Center and III (``Triple I''), to courts and 
     court personnel, civil or criminal, for use in domestic 
     violence or stalking cases. Nothing in this subsection shall 
     be construed to permit any person or court access to criminal 
     history record information for any other purpose or for any 
     other civil case other than for use in a stalking or domestic 
     violence case.
       (b) Entry.--The Attorney General shall amend existing 
     regulations to permit Federal and State criminal justice 
     agencies, assigned to input information into national crime 
     information databases, to include arrests, warrants, and 
     orders for the protection of parties from stalking or 
     domestic violence, whether issued by a criminal, civil, or 
     family court. Such amendment shall include a definition of 
     criminal history information that covers warrants, arrests, 
     and orders for the protection of parties from stalking or 
     domestic violence. Nothing in this subsection shall be 
     construed to permit access to such information for any 
     purpose which is different than the purposes described in 
     subsection (a).
       (c) Procedures.--The regulations required by subsection (a) 
     shall be proposed no later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, after appropriate consultation with 
     the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the 
     officials charged with managing the National Crime 
     Information Center, and the National Crime Information Center 
     Advisory Policy Board. Final regulations shall be issued no 
     later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act.

     SEC.   . NONSERIOUS OFFENSE BAR.

       The Attorney General shall amend existing regulations to 
     specify that the term ``nonserious offenses'', as used in 28 
     C.F.R. 20.32, does not include stalking or domestic violence 
     offenses. Nothing in this section is intended to change 
     current regulations requiring that juvenile offenses shall be

Para. 36.11  recorded vote

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

                      TITLE IX--EQUAL JUSTICE ACT

     SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Equal Justice Act''.

     SEC. 902. PROHIBITION OF RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES 
                   CONCERNING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT OR OTHER 
                   PENALTIES.

       (a) General Rule.--The penalty of death and all other 
     penalties shall be administered by the United States and by 
     every State without regard to the race or color of the 
     defendant or victim. Neither the United States nor any State 
     shall prescribe any racial quota or statistical test for the 
     imposition or execution of the death penalty or any other 
     penalty.
       (b) Definitions.--For purposes of this Act--
       (1) the action of the United States or of a State includes 
     the action of any legislative, judicial, executive, 
     administrative, or other agency or instrumentality of the 
     United States or a State, or of any political subdivision of 
     the United States or a State;
       (2) the term ``State'' has the meaning given in section 541 
     of title 18, United States Code; and
       (3) the term ``racial quota or statistical test'' includes 
     any law, rule, presumption, goal, standard for establishing a 
     prima facie case, or mandatory or permissive inference that--
       (A) requires or authorizes the imposition or execution of 
     the death penalty or another penalty so as to achieve a 
     specified racial proportion relating to offenders, convicts, 
     defendants, arrestees, or victims; or
       (B) requires or authorizes the invalidation of, or bars the 
     execution of, sentences of death or other penalties based on 
     the failure of a jurisdiction to achieve a specified racial 
     proportion relating to offenders, convicts, defendants, 
     arrestees, or victims in the imposition or execution of such 
     sentences or penalties.

     SEC. 903. GENERAL SAFEGUARDS AGAINST RACIAL PREJUDICE OR BIAS 
                   IN THE TRIBUNAL.

       In a criminal trial in a court of the United States, or of 
     any State--
       (1) on motion of the defense attorney or prosecutor, the 
     risk of racial prejudice or bias shall be examined on voir 
     dire if there is a substantial likelihood in the 
     circumstances of the case that such prejudice or bias will 
     affect the jury either against or in favor of the defendant;
       (2) on motion of the defense attorney or prosecutor, change 
     of venue shall be granted if an impartial jury cannot be 
     obtained in the original venue because of racial prejudice or 
     bias; and
       (3) neither the prosecutor nor the defense attorney shall 
     make any appeal to racial prejudice or bias in statements 
     before the jury.

     SEC. 904. FEDERAL CAPITAL CASES.

       (a) Jury Instructions and Certification.--In a prosecution 
     for an offense against the United States in which a sentence 
     of death is sought, and in which the capital sentencing 
     determination is to be made by a jury, the judge shall 
     instruct the jury that it is not to be influenced by 
     prejudice or bias relating to the race or color of the 
     defendant or victim in considering whether a sentence of 
     death is justified, and that the jury is not to recommend the 
     imposition of a sentence of death unless it has concluded 
     that it would recommend the same sentence for such a crime 
     regardless of the race or color of the defendant or victim. 
     Upon the return of a recommendation of a sentence of death, 
     the jury shall also return a certificate, signed by each 
     juror, that the juror's individual decision was not affected 
     by prejudice or bias relating to the race or color of the 
     defendant or victim, and that the individual juror would have 
     made the same recommendation regardless of the race or color 
     of the defendant or victim.
       (b) Racially Motivated Killings.--In a prosecution for an 
     offense against the United States for which a sentence of 
     death is authorized, the fact that the killing of the victim 
     was motivated by racial prejudice or bias shall be deemed an 
     aggravating factor whose existence permits consideration of 
     the death penalty, in addition to any other aggravating 
     factors that may be specified by law as permitting 
     consideration of the death penalty.
       (c) Killings in Violation of Civil Rights Statutes.--
     Sections 241, 242, and 245(b) of title 18, United States 
     Code, are each amended by striking ``shall be subject to 
     imprisonment for any term of years or for life'' and 
     inserting ``shall be punished by death or imprisonment for 
     any term of years or for life''.

     SEC. 905. EXTENSION OF PROTECTION OF CIVIL RIGHTS STATUTES.

       (a) Section 241 Amendments.--Section 241 of title 18, 
     United States Code, is amended by striking ``inhabitant of'' 
     and inserting ``person in''.
       (b) Section 242 Amendment.--Section 242 of title 18, United 
     States Code, is amended by striking ``inhabitant of'' and 
     inserting in lieu thereof ``person in'', and by striking 
     ``such inhabitant'' and inserting ``such person''.

Para. 36.15  recorded vote

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

       At the end of the bill, insert the following:

                       TITLE  --SENSE OF CONGRESS

     SEC.  . CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) child pornography is the permanent record of the sexual 
     abuse or exploitation of children;
       (2) children who are victims of child pornography often 
     suffer severe physical and emotional harm;
       (3) child pornography is a serious national problem;
       (4) the Congress of the United States has a compelling 
     interest in the protection of children from sexual abuse and 
     exploitation by pornography (see New York v. Ferber, 458 U.S. 
     747 (1982));
       (5) the Congress of the United States, in pursuit of this 
     compelling interest, has taken every opportunity to 
     strengthen child pornography laws and has, in clear and 
     unambiguous language, criminalized the production, interstate 
     distribution, receipt and possession of child pornography;
       (6) the United States Department of Justice in its brief to 
     the United States Su- 

[[Page 665]]

     preme Court in the case of Knox v. United States, 92-1183, 
     has failed to support the conviction of a child pornographer 
     won by the Department in the United States District Court for 
     the Middle District of Pennsylvania and affirmed on appeal in 
     the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit;
       (7) the Department of Justice has used its brief in the 
     Knox case as a vehicle for reinterpretation of the Federal 
     child pornography laws in contravention to legislative 
     history and past prosecution practices of the Department of 
     Justice;
       (8) the Department of Justice by declaring in its brief in 
     the Knox case that a pornographer who lasciviously exhibits 
     the genitals of children is prosecutable within the Federal 
     child pornography laws only if the depictions show a minor 
     engaged in the conduct of lasciviously exhibiting his or her 
     genitals or pubic area, creates a federally protected class 
     of child pornography, e.g. child pornography involving 
     children who are not knowingly engaged in lasciviously 
     exhibiting their genitals or pubic areas but whose genitals 
     or pubic areas are nonetheless lasciviously depicted by 
     others;
       (9) the Department of Justice by declaring in its brief in 
     the Knox case in contravention to legislative history, that a 
     pornographer who lasciviously exhibits the genital or pubic 
     area of children is prosecutable within the Federal child 
     pornography laws only if the genitals are nude or visible 
     creates a federally protected class of child pornography, 
     e.g. depictions which focus on a minor child's clothed 
     genital or pubic area with the obvious intent of eliciting a 
     sexual response in pedophiles;
       (10) the plain meaning and congressional intent of the 
     language in section 2256 of title 18, United States Code, is 
     that the term ``lascivious exhibition'' refers to whether the 
     depiction is intended to elicit a sexual response from the 
     viewer, and not to the actions of the child;
       (11) the Department of Justice has employed this meaning of 
     the term ``lascivious exhibition'' since it was included in 
     the laws in 1984, and Congress has not changed the meaning of 
     the term;
       (12) Congress specifically repudiated a ``nudity'' 
     requirement for child pornography statutes (see United States 
     v. Knox, 977 F. 2d 815, at 820-823, (3rd Cir., 1992));
       (13) the ``harm Congress attempted to eradicate by enacting 
     child pornography laws is present when a photographer 
     unnaturally focuses on a minor child's clothed genital area 
     with the obvious intent to produce an image sexually arousing 
     to pedophiles.'' (see Knox at 822); and
       (14) the Congress of the United States believes that the 
     reinterpretation of the Federal child pornography laws by 
     Department of Justice, unless reversed, will bring back 
     commercial child pornography and lead to a substantial 
     increase of sexual exploitation of children.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the House of 
     Representatives that the Department of Justice repudiate its 
     reinterpretation of Federal child pornography laws, defend 
     the conviction won in lower courts in the Knox case, and 
     vigorously prosecute sexual exploitation of children.

       (a) Requirements for Use of Labels.--No product may bear a 
     label which states or suggests that the product was made in

       (1) the product has been registered with the Department of 
     Commerce under subsection (b); and

       (B) final assembly of the product took place in the United 
     States.
       (b) Registry of American-Made Products.--Not later than 12 
     months after the Secretary has promulgated regulations 
     regarding the registration of products with the Department of 
     Commerce under this section, a person shall register with the 
     Department of Commerce any product on which there is or will 
     be affixed a label which states or suggests that the product 
     was made in America.
       (c) Penalties for Fraudulent Use of Labels.--
       (1) Civil fine.--Any person who, with an intent to defraud 
     or mislead, places on a product a label which states or 
     suggests that the product was ``made in America'' in 
     violation of this section may be assessed a civil penalty by 
     the Secretary of not more than $100,000. The Secretary may 
     issue an order assessing such civil penalty only after notice 
     and an opportunity for an agency hearing on the record. The 
     validity of such order may not be reviewed in an action to 
     collect such civil penalty.
       (2) Injunctive relief.--The Secretary may bring an action

     this section, whenever the Secretary believes that such a 
     violation has occurred or is about to occur.
       (d) Regulations.--Not later than 12 months after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall promulgate

       (1) Label.--The term ``label'' means any written, printed, 
     or graphic matter on, or attached to, a product or any of its 
     containers or wrappers.
       (2) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
     of Commerce.

       (A) General Rule.--After January 1, 1996, Federal and State 
     prison inmates shall not be eligible for grants under subpart 
     1 of part A of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 
     (referred to in this section as ``Pell grants'') unless--

     In a year in which applications are received in a number 
     greater than that which will produce, in the judgment of the 
     Director, a graduating class of more than 20,000, the 
     Director shall, in deciding which applications to grant, give

       (B) for purposes of taking a graduate course.

     forth in paragraph (1), the applicant's acceptance in the 
     program shall be revoked.

     established for this purpose and administered by the 
     Director, or by contracting with existing State training 
     facilities. The Director shall contract with a State training 
     facility upon request of such facility if the Director 
     determines that such facility offers a course of training 
     substantially equivalent to the Police Corps training program 
     described in this subtitle.
       (2) The Director may enter into contracts with individuals, 
     institutions of learning, and government agencies (including

     training center, one during the summer following completion 
     of sophomore year and one during the summer following 
     completion of junior year. If a participant enters the 
     program after sophomore year, the participant shall complete 
     16 weeks of training at times determined by the Director.
       (c) Further Training.--The 16 weeks of State Police Corps

     to which they will be assigned. Each State plan approved by 
     the Director under section ____ shall include assurances that 
     following completion of a participant's course of education 
     each participant shall receive appropriate additional 
     training by the State or local authority to which the 
     participant is assigned. The time spent by a participant in 
     such additional training, but not the time spent in State 
     Police Corps training, shall be counted toward fulfillment of 
     the participant's 4-year service obligation.
       (d) Course of Training.--The training sessions at training 
     centers established under this section shall be designed to

     evaluated during training for mental, physical, and emotional

Para. 36.27  recorded vote

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

       At the end of title X, add the following:
                Subtitle ____--Private Security Officers

     SEC. ____1. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Private Security 
     Officers Quality Assurance Act of 1994''.

     SEC. ____2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Employment of private security officers in the United 
     States is growing rapidly.
       (2) The private security industry provides numerous 
     opportunities for entry-level job applicants, including 
     individuals suffering from unemployment due to economic 
     conditions or dislocations.
       (3) The American public is more likely to have contact with 
     private security officers in the course of a day than with 
     law enforcement officers.
       (4) Juveniles in the United States, including those at risk 
     of delinquency, are most likely to have their earliest 
     contact with private security officers because of the 
     significant presence of such officers in schools, shopping 
     malls, and retail establishments.
       (5) The American public demands the employment of 
     qualified, well-trained private security officers.
       (6) The States and employers should be required to 
     determine the qualifications of applicants for employment as 
     private security officers.
       (7) Employers should be required to ensure at least minimum 
     training for newly hired private security officers and 
     refresher training for experienced private security officers, 
     based on State-imposed standards.
       (8) State requirements, if any, for screening and training 
     private security officers vary widely.
       (9) Public safety would be improved if all States required 
     appropriate screening and training of private security 
     officers.
       (10) States should enact laws imposing minimum standards 
     that are uniform nationwide for the screening and training of 
     private security officers.
       (11) State law applicable to private security officers 
     should apply to all private security personnel.

       (B) incarcerated, placed on probation, or paroled as a 
     result of conviction of a felony, or
       (C) convicted of a misdemeanor that, in the discretion of 
     the State regulatory agency, bears such a relationship to the 
     performance of security services as to constitute a

     such officer will perform security services for such 
     employer, and
       (B) the immediately preceding employer of such officer

     SEC.    . DISPLAY OF FLAGS AT HALF STAFF.

       (a) Public Law 87-726--The first section of Public Law 87-
     726 (36 U.S.C. 167) is amended--
       (1) By striking ``(2)'' and inserting ``(3)'';
       (2) by inserting after clause (1) the following new clause: 
     ``(2) directing the officials of the Government to display at 
     half-staff the flag of the United States on all Government 
     buildings on such day, as provided by section 3(m) of the Act 
     of June 22, 1942 (Chapter 435; 56 Stat. 377; 36 U.S.C.

       (3) by striking ``(3)'' and inserting ``(4)''; and
       (4) by inserting in paragraph (4) ``, including the display

       (b) Act of June 22, 1942.--Section 3(m) of the Act of June 
     22, 1942 (Chapter 435; 56 Stat. 377; 36 U.S.C. 175) is 
     amended by inserting ``The flag shall be flown at half-staff 
     on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed 
     Forces Day.'' after ``a Member of Congress.''.
       Insert at an appropriate place the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO VIOLENCE AGAINST 
                   TRUCKERS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) there are 8,000,000 workers in the trucking industry in 
     the United States, some working for large carriers and some 
     for small carriers, some for private carriers and some owner 
     operators, all assisting the free flow commerce by 
     transporting all types of commodities that enter, leave, or 
     move within this country;
       (2) unemployment, crime, and drug use have contributed to 
     an increase of violence against commercial truckers, an 
     increase that has gone unrecognized by the public at large;
       (3) few State or local authorities report violent crimes 
     against truckers as such to the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation, statistics do not reflect this fast-growing 
     and increasingly violent segment of crime;
       (4) the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated 282 
     truck hijackings involving crimes of violence in 1993, not 
     including attempted crimes and crimes addressed by State, 
     county, and local authorities;
       (5) the Federal Government in large measure finances the 
     highway system the trucking industry uses, collecting large 
     sums in taxes from the industry, and licenses and regulates 
     the industry and its drivers, entailing a concomitant 
     responsibility to protect them against crime;
       (6) Federal law provides protections to truckers in among 
     others, sections 33 and 1951 of title 18, United States Code, 
     but currently Federal prosecutions are not undertaken unless 
     certain monetary thresholds of loss are met.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) when there is Federal jurisdiction, Federal authorities 
     should prosecute to the fullest extent of the law murders, 
     rapes, burglaries, kidnappings and assaults committed against 
     commercial truckers; and
       (2) appropriate Federal agencies should acknowledge this 
     problem and place a priority on evaluating how best to 
     prevent these crimes and apprehend those involved, and 
     continue to coordinate their activities with multi-
     jurisdictional authorities to combat violent crimes committed 
     against truckers.
       Page 272, line 5, after ``minorities,'' insert ``providing 
     specialized domestic violence court advocates in courts where 
     a significant number of protective orders are granted,''.
       Add at an appropriate place the following:

     military installations selected before the date of the 
     enactment of this Act to be closed pursuant to a base closure 
     law for the purpose of evaluating the suitability of any of 
     these installations, or portions of these installations, for

                   Subtitle   --Hope in Youth Program

     SEC.  1. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Larger cities around the country, particularly those 
     those involved in empowerment zones, are attempting to 
     empower low-income and ethnic minority communities.
       (2) Programs that involve local government and local 
     community leaders and which include significant participation 
     by service providers, service participants, and service 
     funders, as equal partners in the design and direction of a 
     myriad of social serv- 

[[Page 681]]

     ice support programs have been among the most effective 
     demonstration models.
       (3) Programs that attempt to link disenfranchised and 
     disconnected citizens through an umbrella organization that 
     provides guidance to public and private service providers 
     have proven to be an effective strategy for empowering local 
     low-income communities.
       (4) Families in low-income communities have not attained 
     their full potential as productive citizens, and Federal 
     efforts thus far, have been insufficient to assist them in 
     fully realizing that potential.

     SEC.   2. PROGRAM AUTHORITY.

       The Secretary of Health and Human Services (in this 
     subtitle referred to as the ``Secretary'') may make grants to 
     eligible may make grants to eligible service providers in one 
     or more political subdivisions of a State containing an area 
     designated as an empowerment zone, as authorized under the 
     Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-
     66), that have submitted an approved plan to establish 
     advisory organization in low-in-come communities within the 
     political subdivision containing an empowerment zone which 
     will serve as umbrella agencies for strategic planning and 
     evaluation of service programs serving the low-income 
     communities in which the advisory organization operates.

     SEC.   3. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.

       Each advisory organization established as described in 
     section   2 shall--
       (1) provide a permanent multi-issue forum for public policy 
     discussion which will serve as part of a stable 
     infrastructure of community outreach and support,
       (2) develop a mechanism by which local support service 
     providers may be evaluated and assessed in the level of 
     service they provide to the community, and which establishes 
     a method for advisory organization participants to review and 
     participate in efforts to maintain or increase the quality of 
     services provided by such providers,
       (3) create an Family Outreach Team approach which provides

     section   2.

     SEC.  5. APPLICATIONS.

       Applications may be submitted, for approval by the 
     Secretary, by eligible service providers at such time and in 
     such manner as the Secretary may reasonably require. Such

       (1) assurances that selection of participants, 
     organizations, and citizens will not be on the basis of 
     religious preference or affiliation,
       (2) assurances that participating organizations and 
     citizens will not offer services based on any religious 
     preference or affiliation, and

        Subtitle   --Gang Prevention Services for Boys and Girls

     SEC.  1. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) services provided through existing federally supported 
     gang prevention programs do not adequately address the needs 
     of boys and girls in communities with high levels of gang 
     activity and other barriers to service (such as large 
     concentrations of minority populations that have limited 
     English speaking proficiency, geographically isolated 
     populations, and communities in which social service 
     providers are limited or nonexistent);
       (2) children that are exposed to gang activity at an early 
     age are more likely to become gang-involved than children who 
     are exposed to such activity later in life, or children that 
     are never exposed to such activity;
       (3) gangs are increasingly targeting younger children for 
     recruitment, especially children at middle schools and 
     elementary schools;
       (4) Federal studies indicate that violent crime has 
     increased more significantly in the gang population compared 
     to the adult population; and
       (5) small community-based service agencies with strong ties 
     to the educational and law enforcement systems offer the best 
     chance to prevent young children from becoming involved in 
     gangs.

     SEC.  2. PROGRAM AUTHORITY.

       The Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and 
     Delinquency Prevention (hereafter referred to as the 
     ``Administrator''), in consultation with the Department of 
     Education and the Department of Health and Human Resources, 
     may make grants to eligible service providers to carry out 
     programs that prevent young children from becoming gang 
     involved. In making such grants, the Administrator shall give 
     a priority to eligible service providers that have a proven 
     track record of serving young children and have an overall 
     budget of not more than $750,000 a fiscal year, prior to 
     receiving a grant under this section.

     SEC.   3. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.

       The eligible service providers receiving a grant under 
     section   2 shall--
       (1) provide a comprehensive array of support services to 
     assist the participants to reach their full potential as a 
     contributing law-abiding citizen (such support services may 
     include, but not be limited to: education and health 
     services; career development training; music/art/drama 
     activities; physical fitness training; life skills training; 
     mental health counseling; and job placement counseling);
       (2) to the extent practical, involve the parents and other 
     family members of participating children, and the members of 
     local organizations that support the educational and law 
     enforcement institutions of the community, as is appropriate, 
     in the administration and operation of the gang prevention 
     program;
       (3) utilize community resources and related support 
     services as needed in the operation of the program;
       (4) accept referrals from public institutions, as is 
     appropriate, such as law enforcement, mental health, local 
     school systems, and other entities of local government; and
       (5) utilize volunteer staff, including participants in 
     programs funded under the National and Community Service 
     Program, Public Law 103-62, to the maximum extent practicable 
     in the operation of the program.

     SEC.   4. ELIGIBLE PROVIDERS.

       Community-based service providers, as defined in the 
     Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, that 
     have a proven track record of providing services to children 
     ages 5 to 18 shall be eligible to apply for funds under this 
     subtitle. A priority shall be given to those service 
     providers that have a history of providing services uniquely 
     designed to meet the needs of young children such as the Boys 
     and Girls Clubs of America or service providers that display 
     the potential for providing such targeted services.

     SEC.   5. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS.

       Children that have the potential, because of community 
     composition and other factors, to come into contact with 
     gangs, or who have a family member that has come into contact 
     with a gang, and are not more than 18 years old at the time 
     of entry into the program, shall be eligible to receive 
     services provided by programs receiving assistance under this 
     subtitle.

     SEC.   6. APPLICATIONS PROCESS.

       Eligible service providers may submit to the Administrator, 
     for approval, an application in such form at such time as the 
     Administrator deems appropriate.

     SEC.   7. EVALUATION.

       The Administrator shall conduct an evaluation of the 
     effectiveness of the program model grants authorized under 
     this subtitle, and the extent to which it can be replicated 
     by other local communities. The Administrator shall report to 
     the Congress no later than January 1, 1999, on the details of 
     such evaluations.

     SEC.   8. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

       There are authorized to be appropriated $20,000,000 for 
     fiscal year 1995, and such sums as may be necessary for 
     fiscal years 1996, 1997, and 1998 to carry out this subtitle.

     SEC.  . FINDINGS.

     than the protection of the lives and property of its 
     citizens;
       (2) a violent crime occurs every 22 seconds in America;

     justice system lack the resources they need to fully maintain

     decades has dramatically changed the nature of crime;
       (5) it has been 27 years since the Brown Commission 
     redefined the Federal Government's response to crime in 
     America; and
       (6) the Nation must commit itself to an energetic, 
     innovative assault on the epidemic of crime in our society, 
     including--
       (A) alternative forms of sentencing to guarantee swift and 
     sure punishment of criminals, including the Nation's growing 
     number of youth offenders;
       (B) initiatives by the public and private sectors designed 
     to identify and alleviate the causes of criminal behavior; 
     and
       (C) an examination of current laws and law enforcement 
     practices to determine where and how resources may be best 
     utilized to fight crime, reduce burdens on courts and jails, 
     and stop recidivism.

       (b) Distribution of Funds in Fiscal Years 1996 Through 
     1999.--75 percent of the total amount of funds appropriated 
     under this title in fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999

     served by the persons convicted of violent crimes. States 
     which have achieved a Truth in Sentencing standard of violent 
     criminals serving 85 percent of prison time assessed shall 
     receive the incentive funds based on the average of such 
     percentage change ratios of all States multiplied by the

     Information Center and III (``Triple I''), to courts and 
     court personnel, civil or criminal, for use in domestic 
     violence or stalking cases. Nothing in this subsection shall

     other civil case other than for use in a stalking or domestic 
     violence case.
       (b) Entry.--The Attorney General shall amend existing 
     regulations to permit Federal and State criminal justice 
     agencies, assigned to input information into national crime 
     information databases, to include arrests, warrants, and

     domestic violence, whether issued by a criminal, civil, or 
     family court. Such amendment shall include a definition of 
     criminal history information that covers warrants, arrests, 
     and orders for the protection of parties from stalking or

     C.F.R. 20.32, does not include stalking or domestic violence 
     offenses. Nothing in this section is intended to change 
     current regulations requiring that juvenile offenses shall be

     Assistance, the number of records included in national crime 
     information databases as a result of the grant funding,

     orders. If the State can show a substantial increase in the 
     number of records entered, then it shall be eligible for the 
     entire grant amount. However, the Director shall suspend 
     funding for an approved application if an applicant fails to 
     submit a 6 month performance report or if funds are expended

       At the end of the bill, insert the following:

                       TITLE  --SENSE OF CONGRESS

     SEC.  . CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) child pornography is the permanent record of the sexual 
     abuse or exploitation of children;
       (2) children who are victims of child pornography often 
     suffer severe physical and emotional harm;
       (3) child pornography is a serious national problem;
       (4) the Congress of the United States has a compelling 
     interest in the protection of children from sexual abuse and 
     exploitation by pornography (see New York v. Ferber, 458 U.S. 
     747 (1982));
       (5) the Congress of the United States, in pursuit of this 
     compelling interest, has taken every opportunity to 
     strengthen child pornography laws and has, in clear and 
     unambiguous language, criminalized the production, interstate 
     distribution, receipt and possession of child pornography;
       (6) the United States Department of Justice in its brief to 
     the United States Supreme Court in the case of Knox v. United 
     States, 92-1183, has failed to support the conviction of a 
     child pornographer won by the Department in the United States 
     District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and 
     affirmed on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for 
     the Third Circuit;
       (7) the Department of Justice has used its brief in the 
     Knox case as a vehicle for reinterpretation of the Federal 
     child pornography laws in contravention to legislative 
     history and past prosecution practices of the Department of 
     Justice;
       (8) the Department of Justice by declaring in its brief in 
     the Knox case that a pornographer who lasciviously exhibits 
     the genitals of children is prosecutable within the Federal 
     child pornography laws only if the depictions show a minor 
     engaged in the conduct of lasciviously exhibiting his or her 
     genitals or pubic area, creates a federally protected class 
     of child pornography, e.g. child pornography involving 
     children who are not knowingly engaged in lasciviously 
     exhibiting their genitals or pubic areas but whose genitals 
     or pubic areas are nonetheless lasciviously depicted by 
     others;
       (9) the Department of Justice by declaring in its brief in 
     the Knox case in contravention to legislative history, that a 
     pornographer who lasciviously exhibits the genital or pubic 
     area of children is prosecutable within

[[Page 692]]

     the Federal child pornography laws only if the genitals are 
     nude or visible creates a federally protected class of child 
     pornography, e.g. depictions which focus on a minor child's 
     clothed genital or pubic area with the obvious intent of 
     eliciting a sexual response in pedophiles;
       (10) the plain meaning and congressional intent of the 
     language in section 2256 of title 18, United States Code, is 
     that the term ``lascivious exhibition'' refers to whether the 
     depiction is intended to elicit a sexual response from the 
     viewer, and not to the actions of the child;
       (11) the Department of Justice has employed this meaning of 
     the term ``lascivious exhibition'' since it was included in 
     the laws in 1984, and Congress has not changed the meaning of 
     the term;
       (12) Congress specifically repudiated a ``nudity'' 
     requirement for child pornography statutes (see United States 
     v. Knox, 977 F. 2d 815, at 820-823, (3rd Cir., 1992));
       (13) the ``harm Congress attempted to eradicate by enacting 
     child pornography laws is present when a photographer 
     unnaturally focuses on a minor child's clothed genital area 
     with the obvious intent to produce an image sexually arousing 
     to pedophiles.'' (see Knox at 822); and
       (14) the Congress of the United States believes that the 
     reinterpretation of the Federal child pornography laws by 
     Department of Justice, unless reversed, will bring back 
     commercial child pornography and lead to a substantial 
     increase of sexual exploitation of children.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the House of 
     Representatives that the Department of Justice repudiate its 
     reinterpretation of Federal child pornography laws, defend 
     the conviction won in lower courts in the Knox case, and 
     vigorously prosecute sexual exploitation of children.

       At the end thereof insert the following new section:

     SEC.    BORDER PATROL AGENTS.

     prejudice or bias relating to the race or color of the 
     defendant or victim in considering whether a sentence of 
     death is justified, and that the jury is not to recommend the 
     imposition of a sentence of death unless it has concluded 
     that it would recommend the same sentence for such a crime 
     regardless of the race or color of the defendant or victim.

     offense against the United States for which a sentence of 
     death is authorized, the fact that the killing of the victim

     aggravating factor whose existence permits consideration of 
     the death penalty, in addition to any other aggravating 
     factors that may be specified by law as permitting 
     consideration of the death penalty.
       (c) Killings in Violation of Civil Rights Statutes.--

  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am writing to inform you of my intent to add South Africa 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, I have 
determined that it is appropriate to extend GSP benefits to South 
Africa.
  This notice is submitted in accordance with section 502(a)(1) of the 
Trade Act of 1974.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, April 21, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message together with the accompanying 
papers was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to be 
printed (H. Doc. 103-243).

Para. 37.28  message from the president--honey imports from china

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  Pursuant to section 406 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2436) and 
sections 202 and 203 of the Trade Act of 1974 (as those sections were in 
effect on the day before the date of the enactment of the Omnibus Trade 
and Competitiveness Act of 1988), I have determined the action I will 
take with respect to the affirmative determination of the United States 
International Trade Commission (USITC), on the basis of its 
investigation (No. TA-406-13), that market disruption exists with 
respect to imports from China of honey provided for in heading 0409 and 
subheadings 1702.90 and 2106.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States.
  After considering all relevant aspects of the investigation, including 
those set forth in section 202(c) of the Trade Act of 1974, I have 
determined that import relief for honey is not in the national economic 
interest of the United States. However, I am directing the United States 
Trade Representative (USTR), in consultation with the appropriate 
agencies to develop a plan to monitor imports of honey from China. The 
monitoring program is to be developed within thirty days of this 
determination.
  Since I have determined that the provision of import relief is not in 
the national economic interest of the United States, I am required by 
that section 203(b) of the Trade Act of 1974 to report to Congress on 
the reasons underlying this determination.
  In determining not to provide import relief, I considered its overall 
costs to the U.S. economy. The USITC majority recommendation for a 
quarterly tariff rate quota (a 25 percent ad valorem charge on the first 
12.5 million pounds each quarter, increasing to 50 percent on amounts 
above that level), to be applied for three years, would cost consumers 
about $7 million while increasing producers' income by just $1.9 
million. The other forms of relief recommended by other Commissioners 
would also result in substantial costs to consumers while offering 
little benefit to producers.
  In addition, the gap between production and consumption in the United 
States is approximately 100 million pounds, with imports of honey from 
China helping to fill that gap at the low end for industrial use. Any 
restrictions on imports of honey from China would likely lead to 
increased imports from other countries rather than significantly 
increased market share for U.S. producers.
  Although rising somewhat since 1991, U.S. honey inventories are not 
large by historical experience, either in absolute amounts or relative 
to consumption. Honey stocks reported by the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture were much higher in the mid-1980's (about 75 percent of 
consumption in 1985 and 1986), before falling to their lowest level in 
a decade in 1991 (26.6 percent of consumption). The 1993 stocks were 
37.8 percent of consumption, well below the 1980-1993 average level of 
46.4 percent.
  The U.S. government has supported honey producers since 1950, in 
part, to ensure enough honeybees would be available for crop 
pollination. This is an important national interest. I believe that 
current trends in the provision of pollination and honey production 
will not be significantly affected by not providing relief. Crop 
producers indicate that they believe pollination will still be cost 
effective even if service prices rise.
  I have also concluded that, in this case, imposing trade restrictions 
on imports of honey would run counter to our policy of promoting an 
open and fair international trading system.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, April 21, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Ways and Means and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-242).

Para. 37.29  senate joint resolutions signed

                                   Washington, DC, April 25, 1994.
     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, April 25, 
     1994 at 9:34 a.m. and said to contain a message from the 
     President whereby he notifies the Congress of the death of 
     President Richard M. Nixon.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,

                                          Donnald K. Anderson,

                              Clerk, House of Representatives.    

Para. 38.6  richard m. nixon

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  It is my sad duty to inform you officially of the death of Richard 
Milhous Nixon, the thirty-seventh President of the United States.
  Born in 1913, he was first elected to the Congress in 1946, a member 
of that historic freshman class of World War II veterans that also 
included John F. Kennedy. He was elected to the Senate in 1950, and 
served two terms as Vice President of the United States between 1953 and 
1961. His career in the Congress coincided with the great expansion of 
the American middle class, when men and women from backgrounds as humble 
as his own secured the triumph of freedom abroad and the promise of 
economic growth at home.
  He remained a visible presence in American public life for over half a 
century. Yet through all those years of service to his country, in the 
military, in the Congress, in the Presidency, and beyond, he cherished 
his life as a private man, a family man. He was lovingly devoted to his 
wife, Pat, to their daughters Patricia Cox and Julie Eisenhower, and to 
his four grandchildren.
  His lifetime and public career were intertwined with America's rise as 
a world power. His faith in America never wavered, from his famous 
``kitchen debate'' with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev through all of 
the debates that followed. We Americans and our neighbors abroad will 
always owe him a special debt for opening diplomatic doors to Beijing 
and Moscow during his Presidency, and his influence in world affairs 
will be felt for years to come.
  Richard Milhous Nixon lived the ``American Dream.'' Now, he rests in 
peace.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, April 22, 1994.

     such Members of the Senate as may be designated, to attend

Para. 39.8  communication from the clerk--message from the president

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

                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, April 26, 1994.
     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, April 25, 
     1994 at 5:40 p.m. and said to contain a message from the 
     President whereby he transmits a 6-month periodic report on 
     the national emergency with respect to Haiti.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.

Para. 39.9  national emergency with respect to haiti

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  1. In December 1990, the Haitian people elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide 
as their President by an overwhelming margin in a free and fair 
election. The United States praised Haiti's success in peacefully 
implementing its democratic constitutional system and provided 
significant political and economic support to the new government. The 
Haitian military abruptly interrupted the consolidation of Haiti's new 
democracy when in September 1991, it illegally and violently ousted 
President Aristide from office and drove him into exile.
  2. The United States, on its own and with the Organization of American 
States (OAS), immediately imposed sanctions against the illegal regime. 
The United States has also actively supported the efforts of the OAS and 
the United Nations to restore democracy to Haiti and to bring about 
President Aristide's return by encouraging and facilitating a political 
process involving all the legitimate Haitian parties. The United States 
and the international community also offered material assistance within 
the context of an eventual settlement of the Haitian crisis to support 
the return to democracy, build constitutional structures, and foster 
economic well-being.
  In furtherance of these twin objectives--restoration of constitutional 
democracy and fostering economic recovery--as discussed in section 10 
below, the United States has taken additional measures to block the 
U.S.-located assets of persons (civilian as well as military) whose 
conduct, or material or financial support, has assisted the illegal 
maintenance of the illegitimate regime in Haiti, including persons 
obstructing the U.N. Mission in Haiti or the implementation of the 
Governors Island Agreement, and persons perpetuating or contributing to 
the violence in Haiti. In addition, in an effort to stabilize employment 
and minimize economic hardship for the local populace in Haiti, U.S. 
persons currently licensed to deal with the vital Haitian assembly 
sector have received reauthorization through May 31, 1994.
  3. This report is submitted to the Congress pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 
1641(c) and 1703(c), and discusses Administration actions and expenses 
since my last report (November 13, 1993) that are directly related to 
the national emergency with respect to Haiti declared in Executive Order 
No. 12775, as implemented pursuant to that order and Executive Orders 
Nos. 12779, 12853, and 12872.
  4. Economic sanctions against the de facto regime in Haiti were first 
imposed in October 1991. On October 4, 1991, in Executive Order No. 
12775, President Bush declared a national emergency to deal with the 
threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 
United States caused by events that had occurred in Haiti to disrupt the 
legitimate exercise of power by the democratically elected government of 
that country (56 Fed. Reg. 50641). In that order, the President ordered 
the immediate blocking of all property and interests in property of the 
Government of Haiti (including the Banque de la Republique d'Haiti) then 
or thereafter located in the United States or within the possession or 
control of a U.S. person, including its overseas branches. The Executive 
Order also prohibited any direct or indirect payments or transfers to 
the de facto regime in Haiti of funds or other financial or investment 
assets or credits by any U.S. person, including its overseas branches, 
or by any entity organized under the laws of Haiti and owned or 
controlled by a U.S. person.
  Subsequently, On October 28, 1991, President Bush issued Executive 
Order No. 12779, adding trade sanctions against Haiti to the sanctions 
imposed on October 4 (56 Fed. Reg. 55975). This order prohibited 
exportation from the United States of goods, technology, services, and 
importation into the United States of Haitian-origin goods and services, 
after November 5, 1991, with certain limited exceptions. The order 
exempted trade in publications and other informational materials from 
the import, export, and payment prohibitions and permitted the 
exportation to Haiti of donations to relieve human suffering as well as 
commercial sales of five food commodities: rice, beans, sugar, wheat 
flour, and cooking

[[Page 706]]

oil. In order to permit the return to the United States of goods being 
prepared for U.S. customers by Haiti's substantial ``assembly sector,'' 
the order also permitted, through December 5, 1991, the importation into 
the United States of goods assembled or processed in Haiti that 
contained parts or materials previously exported to Haiti from the 
United States. On February 5, 1992, it was announced that specific 
licenses could be applied for on a case-by-case basis by U.S. persons 
wishing to resume a pre-embargo import/export relationship with the 
assembly sector in Haiti.
  5. On June 30, 1993, I issued Executive Order No. 12853 that expanded 
the blocking of assets of the de facto regime to include assets of 
Haitian nationals identified by the Secretary of the Treasury as 
providing substantial financial or material contributions to the regime, 
or doing substantial business with the regime. That Executive order also 
implemented United Nations Security Council Resolution (``UNSC 
Resolution'') 841 of June 16, 1993, by prohibiting the sale or supply by 
U.S. persons or from the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels 
or aircraft, of petroleum or petroleum products or arms and related 
materiel of all types to any person or entity in Haiti, or for the 
purpose of any business carried on in or operated from Haiti, or 
promoting or calculated to promote such sale or supply. Carriage of such 
goods to Haiti on U.S.-registered vessels is prohibited, as is any 
transaction for the evasion or avoidance of, or attempt to evade or 
avoid, any prohibition in the order.
  6. As noted in my previous report, apparent steady progress toward 
achieving the firm goal of restoring democracy in Haiti permitted the 
United States and the world community to suspend economic sanctions 
against Haiti in August 1993. With strong support from the United 
States, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 861 on 
August 27, 1993, suspending the petroleum, arms, and financial sanctions 
imposed under UNSC Resolution 841. On the same day, the Secretary 
General of the OAS announced that the OAS was urging member states to 
suspend their trade embargoes. In concert with these U.N. and OAS 
actions, U.S. trade and financial restrictions against Haiti were 
suspended, effective at 9:35 a.m. e.d.t., on August 31, 1993.
  These steps demonstrated my determination and that of the 
international community to see that Haiti and the Haitian people resume 
their rightful place in our hemispheric community of democracies. Our 
work to reach a solution to the Haitian crisis through the Governors 
Island Agreement was however seriously threatened by accelerating 
violence in Haiti sponsored or tolerated by the de facto regime. The 
violence culminated on October 11, 1993, with the obstruction by armed 
``attaches,'' supported by the Haitian military and police, of the 
deployment of U.S. military trainers and engineers sent to Haiti as part 
of the United Nations Mission in Haiti. The Haitian military's decision 
to dishonor its commitments made in the Governors Island Agreement was 
apparent. On October 13, 1993, the United Nations Security Council 
issued Resolution 873, which terminated the suspension of sanctions 
effective at 11:59 p.m. e.d.t., October 18, 1993.
  As a result, effective at 11:59 p.m. e.d.t., October 18, 1993, the 
Department of the Treasury revoked the suspension of those trade and 
financial sanctions that had been suspended, so that the full scope of 
prior prohibitions was reinstated (58 Fed. Reg. 54024, October 19, 
1993). In addition to the actions I took in Executive Order No. 12853, 
the reinstated sanctions in the Haitian Transactions Regulations, 31 
C.F.R. Part 580 (the ``HTR''), prohibit most unlicensed trade with 
Haiti, and block the assets of the de facto regime in Haiti and the 
Government of Haiti. Restrictions on the entry into U.S. ports of 
vessels whose Haitian calls would violate U.S. or OAS sanctions had they 
been made by U.S. persons were also reinstated.
  Also effective at 11:59 p.m. e.d.t., October 18, 1993, I issued 
Executive Order No. 12872 (58 Fed. Reg. 54029), authorizing the 
Department of the Treasury to block assets of persons who have: (1) 
contributed to the obstruction of UNSC resolutions 841 and 873, the 
Governors Island Agreement, or the activities of the U.N. Mission in 
Haiti; (2) perpetuated or contributed to the violence in Haiti; or (3) 
materially or financially supported either the obstruction or the 
violence referred to above. This authority is in addition to the 
blocking authority provided for in the original sanctions and in 
Executive Order No. 12853 of June 30, 1993, and ensures adequate 
authority to reach assets subject to U.S. jurisdiction of military and 
police officials, civilian ``attaches'' and their financial patrons 
meeting these criteria. A list of 41 such individuals was published on 
November 1, 1993, by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (FAC) of the 
Department of the Treasury (58 Fed. Reg. 58480).
  On October 18, I ordered the deployment of six U.S. Navy vessels off 
Haiti's shores. To improve compliance with the ban on petroleum and 
munitions shipments to Haiti contained in UNSC resolutions 841 and 873, 
my Administration succeeded in securing the passage of UNSC Resolution 
No. 875. UNSC Resolution 875 calls upon the United Nations Member States 
acting either nationally or through regional agencies or arrangements to 
halt inward maritime shipping for Haiti in order to inspect and verify 
that the Haiti-bound cargo does not contain UNSC-prohibited petroleum 
or arms. A multinational Maritime Interdiction Force that includes 
elements of the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard has been established 
and now patrols the waters off Haiti.

  7. The declaration of the national emergency on October 4, 1991, was 
made pursuant to the authority vested in the President by the 
Constitution and laws of the United States, including the International 
Emergency Economic Power Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), 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 October 4, 1991, pursuant to section 204(b) 
of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)). The additional sanctions set forth in 
Executive Orders Nos. 12779, 12853, and 12872, were imposed pursuant to 
the authority vested in the President by the Constitution and laws of 
the United States, including the statutes cited above, as well as the 
United Nations Participation Act of 1945 (22 U.S.C. 287c), and 
represent the response by the United States to the United Nations 
Security Council and OAS directives and recommendations discussed 
above.
  8. Since my report of November 13, 1993, FAC, in consultation with 
the Department of State and other Federal agencies, has issued General 
Notice No. 3, ``Notification of Blocked Individuals of Haiti.'' The 
Notice, issued January 27, 1994, identifies 523 officers of the Haitian 
Armed Forces who have been determined by the Department of the Treasury 
to be Blocked Individuals of Haiti. General Notice No. 4, issued April 
4, 1994, identifies an additional 27 individual officers of the Haitian 
Armed Forces and one civilian who have been determined by the 
Department of the Treasury to be Blocked Individuals of Haiti. These 
are persons who are members of the de facto regime or are blocked 
pursuant to Executive Orders Nos. 12853 or 12872. (A comprehensive list 
of Blocked Individuals of Haiti was published on April 7, 1994 (59 Fed. 
Reg. 15548)).
  U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions with these 
individuals and with all officers of the Haitian military (as members 
of the de facto regime), whether or not named in General Notice No. 3 
or No. 4, unless the transactions are licensed by FAC. Additionally, 
all interests in property of these individuals that are in the United 
States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons, including their 
overseas branches, are blocked. U.S. persons are not prohibited, 
however, from paying funds owed to these entities or individuals into 
the appropriate blocked account in domestic U.S. financial 
institutions. Copies of the comprehensive list and of General Notices 
No. 3 and No. 4 are attached.
  A policy statement, effective January 31, 1994 (59 Fed. Reg. 8134, 
February 18, 1994), was published to extend until March 31, 1994, the 
expiration date for all current assembly sector licenses issued by FAC 
pursuant to the HTR, and a second policy notice, effective March 29, 
1994, was published on April 1, 1994 (59 Fed. Reg. 15342), extending 
these licenses through May 31, 1994. These licenses have provided an 
exception to the comprehensive U.S. trade embargo on Haiti under which 
the ``assembly

[[Page 707]]

sector'' has continued to receive parts and supplies from, and supply 
finished products to, persons in the United States. Copies of the 
policy statements are attached.
  Assembly sector trade with the United States accounted for a 
significant portion of Haiti's imports, and a substantial majority of 
its exports, prior to the institution of the OAS-requested embargo in 
November 1991. Although initially suspended due to the embargo, 
assembly sector imports from and exports to the United States were 
allowed to resume on a case-by-case basis beginning in February 1992 in 
order to keep poorer segments of the Haitian population employed and to 
reduce their incentive to attempt illegal and dangerous immigration by 
sea to the United States and other countries. However, the continuing 
uncertainties of the Haitian situation have led to a sharp decline in 
assembly sector activity, where employment is now estimated to be no 
more than 10 percent of pre-embargo levels.

  9. In implementing the Haitian sanctions program, FAC has made 
extensive use of its authority to specifically license transactions 
with respect to Haiti in an effort to mitigate the effects of the 
sanctions on the legitimate Government of Haiti and on the livelihood 
of Haitian workers employed by Haiti's assembly sector, and to ensure 
the availability of necessary medicines and medical supplies and the 
undisrupted flow of humanitarian donations to Haiti's poor. For 
example, specific licenses were issued: (1) permitting expenditures 
from blocked assets for the operations of the legitimate Government of 
Haiti; (2) permitting U.S. firms with pre-embargo relationships with 
product assembly operations in Haiti to resume those relationships in 
order to continue employment for their workers or, if they chose to 
withdraw from Haiti, to return to the United States assembly equipment, 
machinery, and parts and materials previously exported to Haiti; (3) 
permitting U.S. companies operating in Haiti to establish, under 
specified circumstances, interest-bearing blocked reserve accounts in 
commercial or investment banking institutions in the United States for 
deposit of amounts owed the de facto regime; (4) permitting the 
continued material support of U.S. and international religious, 
charitable, public health, and other humanitarian organizations and 
projects operating in Haiti; (5) authorizing commercial sales of 
agricultural inputs such as fertilizer and foodcrop seeds; and (6) in 
order to combat deforestation, permitting the importation of 
agricultural products grown on trees.
  10. During this reporting period, U.S.-led OAS initiatives resulted 
in even greater intensification and coordination of enforcement 
activities. Continued close coordination with the U.S. Customs Service 
in Miami sharply reduced the number of attempted exports of 
unmanifested, unauthorized merchandise. New FAC initiatives are 
expected to result in more effective coordination of Customs Service 
and Department of Justice activities in prosecution of embargo 
violations. During the reporting period, the multinational Maritime 
Interdiction Force that contains elements of the U.S. Navy and U.S. 
Coast Guard, continued to patrol offshore Haiti and to conduct ship 
boardings, inspections of cargoes bound for Haiti, identification of 
suspected violators, and referrals for investigation. The Maritime 
Interdiction Force has boarded 612 ships and diverted 38 of these ships 
for various reasons (inaccessibility of cargo for inspection, items 
prohibited by the United Nations Security Council embargo on board) 
from its inception to March 30, 1994. Actions have been taken to 
counter embargo violations as they have developed. There have been 
high-level discussions with the Government of the Dominican Republic to 
encourage its stated desire to cooperate with the United Nations in 
increasing the effectiveness of the enforcement of the sanctions on 
that country's common border with Haiti across which fuel smuggling is 
occurring. Other steps have been taken to control sales of bunker fuel 
by ships in Haitian ports and smuggling of fuel in Haitian-Dominican 
coastal waters.
  The Department of the Treasury, in close coordination with Department 
of State and the intelligence community, continues to designate 
``Blocked Individuals of Haiti,'' blocking the assets of persons 
(civilian as well as military) whose conduct meets the criteria of 
Executive Orders Nos. 12755, 12853, and 12872, including persons 
obstructing the U.N. Mission in Haiti or the implementation of the 
Governors Island Agreement and persons perpetuating or contributing to 
the violence in Haiti. The list was last expanded on January 27, when 
the entire officer corps of the Haitian Armed Forces was blocked as 
part of the de facto regime in Haiti, and on April 4, when one 
additional civilian was added to the list. As others subverting 
democracy in Haiti and additional members of the officer corps are 
identified by name, these names will be incorporated into the list of 
``Blocked Individuals of Haiti.''

  Since the last report, 35 penalties, totaling in excess of $146,000, 
have been collected from U.S. businesses and individuals for violations 
of the Regulations. Eighteen violations involved unlicensed import- and 
export-related activity. As of March 4, 1994, 12 payments of penalties 
assessed against the masters of vessels for unauthorized trade 
transactions or violations of entry restrictions totaled about $53,000. 
A significant penalty collection during the reporting period was from 
American Airlines for its direct payments of taxes and fees to the de 
facto regime in Haiti.
  11. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from October 4, 1993, through April 3, 1994, that are directly 
attributable to the authorities conferred by the declaration of a 
national emergency with respect to Haiti are estimated at about $3.4 
million, most of which represent wage and salary costs for Federal 
personnel. Personnel costs were largely centered in the Department of 
the Treasury (particularly in FAC, the U.S. Customs Service, and the 
Office of the General Counsel), the Department of State, the U.S. Coast 
Guard, and the Department of Commerce.
  12. I am committed to the restoration of democracy in Haiti and 
determined to see that Haiti and the Haitian people resume their 
rightful place in our hemispheric community of democracies. Active U.S. 
support for United Nations/OAS efforts to resolve the Haitian crisis 
has led to the maintenance and enforcement of sweeping economic 
sanctions. Our diplomatic efforts complementing these sanctions are 
designed to encourage and facilitate participation by all legitimate 
Haitian political elements in a broad-based political process that will 
bring about the fulfillment of the undertakings they made in the 
Governors Island Agreement so that Haitian democracy can be restored 
and President Aristide can return to Haiti. Such a political process 
will enable the lifting of sanctions and the start of Haiti's economic 
reconstruction and national reconciliation. The United States will 
continue to play a leadership role in the international community's 
program of support and assistance for the restoration of democracy and 
return of President Aristide to Haiti.
  I will continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant 
developments pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1703(c).

     SEC. 4. MORATORIUM AND EXCEPTIONS.

       (a) In General.--Section 101(a) (16 U.S.C. 1371(a)) is 
     amended--
       (1) by amending paragraph (1) to read as follows:
       ``(1) Consistent with the provisions of section 104, 
     permits may be issued by the Secretary for taking, and 
     importation for purposes of scientific research, public 
     display, photography for educational or commercial purposes, 
     or enhancing the survival or recovery of a species or stock, 
     or for importation of polar bear parts (other than internal 
     organs) taken in sport hunts in Canada. Such permits, except 
     permits issued under section 104(c)(5), may be issued if the 
     taking or importation proposed to be made is first reviewed 
     by the Marine Mammal Commission and the Committee of 
     Scientific Advisors on Marine Mammals established under title 
     II. The Commission and Committee shall recommend any proposed 
     taking or importation, other than importation under section 
     104(c)(5), which is consistent with the purposes and policies 
     of section 2 of this Act. If the Secretary issues such a 
     permit for importation, the Secretary shall issue to the 
     importer concerned a certificate to that effect in such form 
     as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes, and such 
     importation may be made upon presentation of the certificate 
     to the customs officer concerned.'';
       (2) in paragraph (2) in the first sentence, by inserting 
     before the period at the end the following: ``, or in lieu of 
     such permits, authorizations may be granted therefor under 
     section 118, subject to regulations prescribed under that 
     section by the Secretary without regard to section 103'';
       (3) in paragraph (3)(B)--
       (A) by inserting ``, photography for educational or 
     commercial purposes,'' after ``purposes''; and
       (B) by inserting ``or as provided for under paragraph (5) 
     of this subsection,'' after ``subsection,'';
       (4) by amending paragraph (4) to read as follows:
       ``(4)(A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C), 
     the provisions of this Act shall not apply to the use of 
     measures--
       ``(i) by the owner of fishing gear or catch, or an employee 
     or agent of such owner, to deter a marine mammal from 
     damaging the gear or catch;
       ``(ii) by the owner of other private property, or an agent, 
     bailee, or employee of such owner, to deter a marine mammal 
     from damaging private property;
       ``(iii) by any person, to deter a marine mammal from 
     endangering personal safety; or
       ``(iv) by a government employee, to deter a marine mammal 
     from damaging public property,

     so long as such measures do not result in the death or 
     serious injury of a marine mammal.
       ``(B) The Secretary shall, through consultation with 
     appropriate experts, and after notice and opportunity for 
     public comment, publish in the Federal Register a list of 
     guidelines for use in safely deterring marine mammals. In the 
     case of marine mammals listed as endangered species or 
     threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, 
     the Secretary shall recommend specific measures which may be 
     used to nonlethally deter marine mammals. Actions to deter 
     marine mammals consistent with such guidelines or specific 
     measures shall not be a violation of this Act.
       ``(C) If the Secretary determines, using the best 
     scientific information available, that certain forms of 
     deterrence have a significant adverse effect on marine 
     mammals, the Secretary may prohibit such deterrent methods, 
     after notice and opportunity for public comment, through 
     regulation under this Act.
       ``(D) The authority to deter marine mammals pursuant to 
     subparagraph (A) applies to all marine mammals, including all 
     stocks designated as depleted under this Act.'';
       (5) in paragraph (5) by adding at the end the following new 
     subparagraphs:
       ``(D)(i) Upon request therefor by citizens of the United 
     States who engage in a specified activity (other than 
     commercial fishing) within a specific geographic region, the 
     Secretary shall authorize, for periods of not more than 1 
     year, subject to such conditions as the Secretary may 
     specify, the incidental, but not intentional, taking by 
     harassment of small numbers of marine mammals of a species or 
     population stock by such citizens while engaging in that 
     activity within that region if the Secretary finds that such 
     harassment during each period concerned--
       ``(I) will have a negligible impact on such species or 
     stock, and
       ``(II) will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the 
     availability of such species or stock for taking for 
     subsistence uses pursuant to subsection (b), or section 
     109(f) or pursuant to a cooperative agreement under section 
     119.
       ``(ii) The authorization for such activity shall prescribe, 
     where applicable--
       ``(I) permissible methods of taking by harassment pursuant 
     to such activity, and other means of effecting the least 
     practicable impact on such species or stock and its habitat, 
     paying particular attention to rookeries, mating grounds, and 
     areas of similar significance, and on the availability of 
     such species or stock for taking for subsistence uses 
     pursuant to subsection (b) or section 109(f) or pursuant to a 
     cooperative agreement under section 119,
       ``(II) the measures that the Secretary determines are 
     necessary to ensure no unmitigable adverse impact on the 
     availability of the species or stock for taking for 
     subsistence uses pursuant to subsection (b) or section 109(f) 
     or pursuant to a cooperative agreement under section 119, and
       ``(III) requirements pertaining to the monitoring and 
     reporting of such taking by harassment, including 
     requirements for the independent peer review of proposed 
     monitoring plans or other research proposals where the 
     proposed activity may affect the availability of a species or 
     stock for taking for subsistence uses pursuant to subsection 
     (b) or section 109(f) or pursuant to a cooperative agreement 
     under section 119.
       ``(iii) The Secretary shall publish a proposed 
     authorization not later than 45 days after receiving an 
     application under this subparagraph and request public 
     comment through notice in the Federal Register, newspapers of 
     general circulation, and appropriate electronic media and to 
     all locally affected communities for a period of 30 days 
     after publication. Not later than 45 days after the close of 
     the public comment period, if the Secretary makes the 
     findings set forth in clause (i), the Secretary shall issue 
     an authorization with appropriate conditions to meet the 
     requirements of clause (ii).
       ``(iv) The Secretary shall modify, suspend, or revoke an 
     authorization if the Secretary finds that the provisions of 
     clauses (i) or (ii) are not being met.
       ``(v) A person conducting an activity for which an 
     authorization has been granted under this subparagraph shall 
     not be subject to the penalties of this Act for taking by 
     harassment that occurs in compliance with such authorization.
       ``(E)(i) During any period of up to 3 consecutive years, 
     the Secretary shall allow the incidental, but not the 
     intentional, taking by persons using vessels of the United 
     States or vessels which have valid fishing permits issued by 
     the Secretary in accordance with section 204(b) of the 
     Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 
     1824(b)), while engaging in commercial fishing operations, of 
     marine mammals from a species or stock designated as depleted 
     because of its listing as an endangered species or threatened 
     species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
     1531 et seq.) if the Secretary, after notice and opportunity 
     for public comment, determines that--
       ``(I) the incidental mortality and serious injury from 
     commercial fisheries will have a negligible impact on such 
     species or stock;
       ``(II) a recovery plan has been developed or is being 
     developed for such species or stock pursuant to the 
     Endangered Species Act of 1973; and
       ``(III) where required under section 118, a monitoring 
     program is established under subsection (d) of such section, 
     vessels engaged in such fisheries are registered in 
     accordance with such section, and a take reduction plan has 
     been developed or is being developed for such species or 
     stock.
       ``(ii) Upon a determination by the Secretary that the 
     requirements of clause (i)

[[Page 709]]

     have been met, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal 
     Register a list of those fisheries for which such 
     determination was made, and, for vessels required to register 
     under section 118, shall issue an appropriate permit for each 
     authorization granted under such section to vessels to which 
     this paragraph applies. Vessels engaged in a fishery included 
     in the notice published by the Secretary under this clause 
     which are not required to register under section 118 shall 
     not be subject to the penalties of this Act for the 
     incidental taking of marine mammals to which this paragraph 
     applies, so long as the owner or master of such vessel 
     reports any incidental mortality or injury of such marine 
     mammals to the Secretary in accordance with section 118.
       ``(iii) If, during the course of the commercial fishing 
     season, the Secretary determines that the level of incidental 
     mortality or serious injury from commercial fisheries for 
     which a determination was made under clause (i) has resulted 
     or is likely to result in an impact that is more than 
     negligible on the endangered or threatened species or stock, 
     the Secretary shall use the emergency authority granted under 
     section 118 to protect such species or stock, and may modify 
     any permit granted under this paragraph as necessary.
       ``(iv) The Secretary may suspend for a time certain or 
     revoke a permit granted under this subparagraph only if the 
     Secretary determines that the conditions or limitations set 
     forth in such permit are not being complied with. The 
     Secretary may amend or modify, after notice and opportunity 
     for public comment, the list of fisheries published under 
     clause (ii) whenever the Secretary determines there has been 
     a significant change in the information or conditions used to 
     determine such list.
       ``(v) Sections 103 and 104 shall not apply to the taking of 
     marine mammals under the authority of this subparagraph.
       ``(vi) This subparagraph shall not govern the incidental 
     taking of California sea otters and shall not be deemed to 
     amend or repeal the Act of November 7, 1986 (Public Law 99-
     625; 100 Stat. 3500).''; and
       (6) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(6)(A) A marine mammal product may be imported into the 
     United States if the product--
       ``(i) was legally possessed and exported by any citizen of 
     the United States in conjunction with travel outside the 
     United States, provided that the product is imported into the 
     United States by the same person upon the termination of 
     travel;
       ``(ii) was acquired outside of the United States as part of 
     a cultural exchange by an Indian, Aleut, or Eskimo residing 
     in Alaska; or

     or Greenland and is imported for noncommercial purposes in 
     conjunction with travel within the United States or as part 
     of a cultural exchange with an Indian, Aleut, or Eskimo 
     residing in Alaska.

       ``(i) `Native inhabitant of Russia, Canada, or Greenland' 
     means a person residing in Russia, Canada, or Greenland who 
     is related by blood, is a member of the same clan or 
     ethnological grouping, or shares a common heritage with an 
     Indian, Aleut, or Eskimo residing in Alaska; and
       ``(ii) `cultural exchange' means the sharing or exchange of 
     ideas, information, gifts, clothing, or handicrafts between 
     an Indian, Aleut, or Eskimo residing in Alaska and a Native 
     inhabitant of Russia, Canada, or Greenland, including 
     rendering of raw marine mammal parts as part of such exchange 
     into clothing or handicrafts through carving, painting, 
     sewing, or decorating.''.
       (b) Actions Affecting Section 101(b).--Section 101(b) (16 
     U.S.C. 1371(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following 
     new sentences: ``In promulgating any regulation or making any

     subsection or section 117(b)(2), or in making any 
     determination of depletion under this subsection or finding 
     regarding unmitigable adverse impacts under subsection (a)(5) 
     that affects stocks or persons to which this subsection 
     applies, the Secretary shall be responsible for demonstrating 
     that such regulation, assessment, determination, or finding 
     is supported by substantial evidence on the basis of the 
     record as a whole. The preceding sentence shall only be 
     applicable in an action brought by one or more Alaska Native 
     organizations representing persons to which this subsection

     Fees collected under this subparagraph shall be available to 
     the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere for 
     expenses incurred in the granting and administration of 
     authorizations under this section.
       ``(d) Monitoring of Incidental Takes.--(1) The Secretary 
     shall establish a program to monitor incidental mortality and 
     serious injury of marine mammals during the course of 
     commercial fishing operations. The purposes of the monitoring 
     program shall be to--
       ``(A) obtain statistically reliable estimates of incidental 
     mortality and serious injury;
       ``(B) determine the reliability of reports of incidental 
     mortality and serious injury under subsection (e); and

     that may increase or decrease incidental mortality and 
     serious injury.

     observers on board vessels as necessary, subject to the 
     provisions of this section. Observers may, among other 
     tasks--

     of other nontarget species;
       ``(B) record numbers of marine mammals sighted; and
       ``(C) perform other scientific investigations.
       ``(3) In determining the distribution of observers among 
     commercial fisheries and vessels within a fishery, the 
     Secretary shall be guided by the following standards:
       ``(A) The requirement to obtain statistically reliable 
     information.
       ``(B) The requirement that assignment of observers is fair 
     and equitable among fisheries and among vessels in a fishery.
       ``(C) The requirement that no individual person or vessel, 
     or group of persons or vessels, be subject to excessive or 
     overly burdensome observer coverage.
       ``(D) To the extent practicable, the need to minimize costs 
     and avoid duplication.
       ``(4) To the extent practicable, the Secretary shall 
     allocate observers among commercial fisheries in accordance 
     with the following priority:
       ``(A) The highest priority for allocation shall be for 
     commercial fisheries that have incidental mortality or 
     serious injury of marine mammals from stocks listed as 
     endangered species or threatened species under the Endangered 
     Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
       ``(B) The second highest priority for allocation shall be 
     for commercial fisheries that have incidental mortality and 
     serious injury of marine mammals from strategic stocks.
       ``(C) The third highest priority for allocation shall be 
     for commercial fisheries that have incidental mortality or 
     serious injury of marine mammals from stocks for which the 
     level of incidental mortality and serious injury is 
     uncertain.
       ``(5) The Secretary may establish an alternative observer 
     program to provide statistically reliable information on the 
     species and number of marine mammals incidentally taken in 
     the course of commercial fishing operations. The alternative 
     observer program may include direct observation of fishing 
     activities from vessels, airplanes, or points on shore.
       ``(6) The Secretary is not required to place an observer on 
     a vessel in a fishery if the Secretary finds that--
       ``(A) in a situation in which harvesting vessels are 
     delivering fish to a processing vessel and the catch is not 
     taken on board the harvesting vessel, statistically reliable 
     information can be obtained from an observer on board the 
     processing vessel to which the fish are delivered;
       ``(B) the facilities on a vessel for quartering of an 
     observer, or for carrying out observer functions, are so 
     inadequate or unsafe that the health or safety of the 
     observer or the safe operation of the vessel would be 
     jeopardized; or
       ``(C) for reasons beyond the control of the Secretary, an 
     observer is not available.
       ``(7) The Secretary may, with the consent of the vessel 
     owner, station an observer on board a vessel engaged in a 
     fishery not listed under subsection (c)(1)(A) (i) or (ii).
       ``(8) Any proprietary information collected under this 
     subsection shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed 
     except--
       ``(A) to Federal employees whose duties require access to 
     such information;
       ``(B) to State or tribal employees pursuant to an agreement 
     with the Secretary that prevents public disclosure of the 
     identity or business of any person;
       ``(C) when required by court order; or
       ``(D) in the case of scientific information involving 
     fisheries, to employees of Regional Fishery Management 
     Councils who are responsible for fishery management plan 
     development and monitoring.
       ``(9) The Secretary shall prescribe such procedures as may 
     be necessary to preserve such confidentiality, except that 
     the Secretary shall release or make public upon request any 
     such information in aggregate, summary, or other form which 
     does not directly or indirectly disclose the identity or 
     business of any person.
       ``(e) Reporting Requirement.--The owner or operator of a 
     commercial fishing vessel subject to this Act shall report 
     all incidental mortality and injury of marine mammals in the 
     course of commercial fishing operations to the Secretary by 
     mail or other means acceptable to the Secretary within 48 
     hours after the end of each fishing trip on a standard 
     postage-paid form to be developed by the Secretary under this 
     section. Such form shall be capable of being readily entered 
     into and usable by an automated or computerized data 
     processing system and shall require the vessel owner or 
     operator to provide the following:
       ``(1) The vessel name, and Federal, State, or tribal 
     registration numbers of the registered vessel.
       ``(2) The name and address of the vessel owner or operator.
       ``(3) The name and description of the fishery.
       ``(4) The species of each marine mammal incidentally killed 
     or injured, and the date, time, and approximate geographic 
     location of such occurrence.
       ``(f) Take Reduction Plans.--(1) The Secretary shall 
     develop and implement a take reduction plan designed to 
     assist in the recovery or prevent the depletion of each 
     strategic stock which interacts with a commercial fishery 
     listed under subsection (c)(1)(A) (i) or (ii), and may 
     develop and implement such a plan for any other marine mammal 
     stocks which interact with a commercial fishery listed under 
     subsection (c)(1)(A)(i) which the Secretary determines, after 
     notice and opportunity for public comment, has a high level 
     of mortality and serious injury across a number of such 
     marine mammal stocks.
       ``(2) The immediate goal of a take reduction plan for a 
     strategic stock shall be to reduce, within 6 months of its 
     implementation, the incidental mortality or serious injury of 
     marine mammals incidentally taken in the course of commercial 
     fishing operations to levels less than the potential 
     biological removal level established for that stock under 
     section 117. The long-term goal of the plan shall be to 
     reduce, within 5 years of its implementation, the incidental 
     mortality or serious injury of marine mammals incidentally 
     taken in the course of commercial fishing operations to 
     insignificant levels approaching a zero mortality and serious 
     injury rate, taking into account the economics of the 
     fishery, the availability of existing technology, and 
     existing State or regional fishery management plans.
       ``(3) If there is insufficient funding available to develop 
     and implement a take reduction plan for all such stocks that 
     interact with commercial fisheries listed under subsection 
     (c)(1)(A) (i) or (ii), the Secretary shall give highest 
     priority to the development and implementation of take 
     reduction plans for species or stocks whose level of 
     incidental mortality and serious injury exceeds the potential 
     biological removal level, those that have a small population 
     size, and those which are declining most rapidly.
       ``(4) Each take reduction plan shall include--
       ``(A) a review of the information in the final stock 
     assessment published under section 117(b) and any substantial 
     new information;
       ``(B) an estimate of the total number and, if possible, age 
     and gender, of animals from the stock that are being 
     incidentally lethally taken or seriously injured each year 
     during the course of commercial fishing operations, by 
     fishery;
       ``(C) recommended regulatory or voluntary measures for the 
     reduction of incidental mortality and serious injury;
       ``(D) recommended dates for achieving the specific 
     objectives of the plan.
       ``(5)(A) For any stock in which incidental mortality and 
     serious injury from commercial fisheries exceeds the 
     potential biological removal level established under section 
     117, the plan shall include measures the Secretary expects 
     will reduce, within 6 months of the plan's implementation, 
     such mortality

[[Page 714]]

     and serious injury to a level below the potential biological 
     removal level.
       ``(B) For any stock in which human-caused mortality and 
     serious injury exceeds the potential biological removal 
     level, other than a stock to which subparagraph (A) applies, 
     the plan shall include measures the Secretary expects will 
     reduce, to the maximum extent practicable within 6 months of 
     the plan's implementation, the incidental mortality and 
     serious injury by such commercial fisheries from that stock. 
     For purposes of this subparagraph, the term `maximum extent 
     practicable' means to the lowest level that is feasible for 
     such fisheries within the 6-month period.
       ``(6)(A) At the earliest possible time (not later than 30 
     days) after the Secretary issues a final stock assessment 
     under section 117(b) for a strategic stock, the Secretary 
     shall, and for stocks that interact with a fishery listed 
     under subsection (c)(1)(A)(i) for which the Secretary has 
     made a determination under paragraph (1), the Secretary may--
       ``(i) establish a take reduction team for such stock and 
     appoint the members of such team in accordance with 
     subparagraph (C); and
       ``(ii) publish in the Federal Register a notice of the 
     team's establishment, the names of the team's appointed 
     members, the full geographic range of such stock, and a list 
     of all commercial fisheries that cause incidental mortality 
     and serious injury of marine mammals from such stock.
       ``(B) The Secretary may request a take reduction team to 
     address a stock that extends over one or more regions or 
     fisheries, or multiple stocks within a region or fishery, if 
     the Secretary determines that doing so would facilitate the 
     development and implementation of plans required under this 
     subsection.
       ``(C) Members of take reduction teams shall have expertise 
     regarding the conservation or biology of the marine mammal 
     species which the take reduction plan will address, or the 
     fishing practices which result in the incidental mortality 
     and serious injury of such species. Members shall include 
     representatives of Federal agencies, each coastal State which 
     has fisheries which interact with the species or stock, 
     appropriate Regional Fishery Management Councils, interstate 
     fisheries commissions, academic and scientific organizations, 
     environmental groups, all commercial and recreational 
     fisheries groups and gear types which incidentally take the 
     species or stock, Alaska Native organizations or Indian 
     tribal organizations, and others as the Secretary deems 
     appropriate. Take reduction teams shall, to the maximum 
     extent practicable, consist of an equitable balance among 
     representatives of resource user interests and nonuser 
     interests.
       ``(D) Take reduction teams shall not be subject to the 
     Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 App. U.S.C.). Meetings of 
     take reduction teams shall be open to the public, and prior 
     notice of meetings shall be made public in a timely fashion.
       ``(E) Members of take reduction teams shall serve without 
     compensation, but may be reimbursed by the Secretary, upon 
     request, for reasonable travel costs and expenses incurred in 
     performing their duties as members of the team.
       ``(7) Where the human-caused mortality and serious injury 
     from a strategic stock is estimated to be equal to or greater 
     than the potential biological removal level established under 
     section 117 for such stock and such stock interacts with a 
     fishery listed under subsection (c)(1)(A) (i) or (ii), the 
     following procedures shall apply in the development of the 
     take reduction plan for the stock:
       ``(A)(i) Not later than 6 months after the date of 
     establishment of a take reduction team for the stock, the 
     team shall submit a draft take reduction plan for such stock 
     to the Secretary, consistent with the other provisions of 
     this section.
       ``(ii) Such draft take reduction plan shall be developed by 
     consensus. In the event consensus cannot be reached, the team 
     shall advise the Secretary in writing on the range of 
     possibilities considered by the team, and the views of both 
     the majority and minority.
       ``(B)(i) The Secretary shall take the draft take reduction 
     plan into consideration and, not later than 60 days after the 
     submission of the draft plan by the team, the Secretary shall 
     publish in the Federal Register the plan proposed by the 
     team, any changes proposed by the Secretary with an 
     explanation of the reasons therefor, and proposed regulations 
     to implement such plan, for public review and comment during 
     a period of not to exceed 90 days.
       ``(ii) In the event that the take reduction team does not 
     submit a draft plan to the Secretary within 6 months, the 
     Secretary shall, not later than 8 months after the 
     establishment of the team, publish in the Federal Register a 
     proposed take reduction plan and implementing regulations, 
     for public review and comment during a period of not to 
     exceed 90 days.
       ``(C) Not later than 60 days after the close of the comment 
     period required under subparagraph (B), the Secretary shall 
     issue a final take reduction plan and implementing 
     regulations, consistent with the other provisions of this 
     section.

     publication of a final take reduction plan, utilize 
     newspapers of general circulation, fishery trade 
     associations, electronic media, and other means of advising 
     commercial fishermen of the requirements of the plan and how 
     to comply with them.
       ``(E) The Secretary and the take reduction team shall meet 
     every 6 months, or at such other intervals as the Secretary 
     determines are necessary, to monitor the implementation of 
     the final take reduction plan until such time that the 
     Secretary determines that the objectives of such plan have 
     been met.

     intentional lethal taking of pinnipeds in accordance with 
     this section.

[[Page 717]]

       ``(b) Application.--(1) A State may apply to the Secretary 
     to authorize the intentional lethal taking of individually 
     identifiable pinnipeds which are having a significant 
     negative impact on the decline or recovery of salmonid 
     fishery stocks which--
       ``(A) have been listed as threatened species or endangered 
     species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
     1531 et seq.);
       ``(B) the Secretary finds are approaching threatened 
     species or endangered species status (as those terms are 
     defined in that Act); or
       ``(C) migrate through the Ballard Locks at Seattle, 
     Washington.
       ``(2) Any such application shall include a means of 
     identifying the individual pinniped or pinnipeds, and shall 
     include a detailed description of the problem interaction and 
     expected benefits of the taking.
       ``(c) Actions in Response to Application.--(1) Within 15 
     days of receiving an application, the Secretary shall 
     determine whether the application has produced sufficient 
     evidence to warrant establishing a Pinniped-Fishery 
     Interaction Task Force to address the situation described in 
     the application. If the Secretary determines sufficient 
     evidence has been provided, the Secretary shall establish a 
     Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Task Force and publish a notice 
     in the Federal Register requesting public comment on the 
     application.
       ``(2) A Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Task Force established 
     under paragraph (1) shall consist of designated employees of 
     the Department of Commerce, scientists who are knowledgeable 
     about the pinniped interaction that the application 
     addresses, representatives of affected conservation and 
     fishing community organizations, Indian Treaty tribes, the 
     States, and such other organizations as the Secretary deems 
     appropriate.
       ``(3) Within 60 days after establishment, and after 
     reviewing public comments in response to the Federal Register 
     notice under paragraph (1), the Pinniped-Fishery Interaction 
     Task Force shall--
       ``(A) recommend to the Secretary whether to approve or deny 
     the proposed intentional lethal taking of the pinniped or 
     pinnipeds, including along with the recommendation a 
     description of the specific pinniped individual or 
     individuals, the proposed location, time, and method of such 
     taking, criteria for evaluating the success of the action, 
     and the duration of the intentional lethal taking authority; 
     and
       ``(B) suggest nonlethal alternatives, if available and 
     practicable, including a recommended course of action.
       ``(4) Within 30 days after receipt of recommendations from 
     the Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Task Force, the Secretary 
     shall either approve or deny the application. If such 
     application is approved, the Secretary shall immediately take 
     steps to implement the intentional lethal taking, which shall 
     be performed by Federal or State agencies, or qualified 
     individuals under contract to such agencies.
       ``(5) After implementation of an approved application, the 
     Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Task Force shall evaluate the 
     effectiveness of the permitted intentional lethal taking or 
     alternative actions implemented. If implementation was 
     ineffective in eliminating the problem interaction, the Task 
     Force shall recommend additional actions. If the 
     implementation was effective, the Task Force shall so advise 
     the Secretary, and the Secretary shall disband the Task 
     Force.
       ``(d) Considerations.--In considering whether an 
     application should be approved or denied, the Pinniped-
     Fishery Interaction Task Force and the Secretary shall 
     consider--
       ``(1) population trends, feeding habits, the location of 
     the pinniped interaction, how and when the interaction 
     occurs, and how many individual pinnipeds are involved;
       ``(2) past efforts to nonlethally deter such pinnipeds, and 
     whether the applicant has demonstrated that no feasible and 
     prudent alternatives exist and that the applicant has taken 
     all reasonable nonlethal steps without success;
       ``(3) the extent to which such pinnipeds are causing undue 
     injury or impact to, or imbalance with, other species in the 
     ecosystem, including fish populations; and
       ``(4) the extent to which such pinnipeds are exhibiting 
     behavior that presents an ongoing threat to public safety.
       ``(e) Limitation.--The Secretary shall not approve the 
     intentional lethal taking of any pinniped from a species or 
     stock that is--
       ``(1) listed as a threatened species or endangered species 
     under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 
     seq.);
       ``(2) depleted under this Act; or
       ``(3) a strategic stock.
       ``(f) California Sea Lions and Pacific Harbor Seals; 
     Investigation and Report.--
       ``(1) The Secretary shall engage in a scientific 
     investigation to determine whether California sea lions and 
     Pacific harbor seals--
       ``(A) are having a significant negative impact on the 
     recovery of salmonid fishery stocks which have been listed as 
     endangered species or threatened species under the Endangered 
     Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), or which the 
     Secretary finds are approaching such endangered species or 
     threatened species status; or
       ``(B) are having broader impacts on the coastal ecosystems 
     of Washington, Oregon, and California.

     The Secretary shall conclude this investigation and prepare a 
     report on its results no later than October 1, 1995.
       ``(2) Upon completion of the scientific investigation 
     required under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall enter into 
     discussions with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries 
     Commission, on behalf of the States of Washington, Oregon, 
     and California, for the purpose of addressing any issues or 
     problems identified as a result of the scientific 
     investigation, and to develop recommendations to address such 
     issues or problems. Any recommendations resulting from such 
     discussions shall be submitted, along with the report, to the 
     Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
     Transportation of the Senate.

     recommendations submitted under paragraph (2) available to 
     the public for review and comment for a period of 90 days.

     Commission may be used by the Commission to participate in 
     discussions with the Secretary under paragraph (2).
       ``(g) Regionwide Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Study.--
       ``(1) The Secretary may conduct a study, of not less than 
     three high predation areas in anadromous fish migration 
     corridors within the Northwest Region of the National Marine 
     Fisheries Service, on the interaction between fish and 
     pinnipeds. In conducting the study, the Secretary shall 
     consult with other State and Federal agencies with expertise 
     in pinniped-fishery interaction. The study shall evaluate--
       ``(A) fish behavior in the presence of predators generally;
       ``(B) holding times and passage rates of anadromous fish 
     stocks in areas where such fish are vulnerable to predation;
       ``(C) whether additional facilities exist, or could be 
     reasonably developed, that could improve escapement for 
     anadromous fish; and
       ``(D) other issues the Secretary considers relevant.
       ``(2) Subject to the availability of appropriations, the 
     Secretary may, not later than 18 months after the 
     commencement of the study under this subsection, transmit a 
     report on the results of the study to the Committee on 
     Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the 
     Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries of the House of 
     Representatives.

     aquaculture resources in the Gulf of Maine. No later than 2 
     years from the date of enactment of this section, the 
     Secretary shall after notice and opportunity for public 
     comment submit to the Committee on Merchant Marine and 
     Fisheries of the House of Representatives and the Committee 
     on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a 
     report containing recommended available alternatives to 
     mitigate such interactions.

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Arson Prevention Act of 
     1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) arson is a serious and costly problem, and is 
     responsible for approximately 25 percent of all fires in the 
     United States;
       (2) arson is a leading cause of fire deaths, accounting for 
     approximately 700 deaths annually in the United States, and 
     is the leading cause of property damage due to fire in the 
     United States;
       (3) estimates of arson property losses are in the range of 
     $2,000,000,000 annually, or approximately 1 of every 4 
     dollars lost to fire;
       (4) the incidence of arson in the United States is 
     seriously underreported, in part because of the lack of 
     adequate participation by local jurisdictions in the National 
     Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the Uniform Crime 
     Reporting (UCR) program;
       (5) there is a need for expanded training programs for 
     arson investigators;
       (6) there is a need for improved programs designed to 
     enable volunteer firefighters to detect arson crimes and to 
     preserve evidence vital to the investigation and prosecution 
     of arson cases;
       (7) according to the National Fire Protection Association, 
     of all the suspicious and incendiary fires estimated to 
     occur, only \1/3\ are confirmed as arson; and
       (8) improved training of arson investigators will increase 
     the ability of fire departments to identify suspicious and 
     incendiary fires, and will result in increased and more 
     effective prosecution of arson offenses.

     SEC. 3. ARSON PREVENTION GRANTS.

       The Federal Fire Protection and Control Act of 1974 is 
     amended by inserting after section 24 (15 U.S.C. 2220) the 
     following new section:

     ``SEC. 25. ARSON PREVENTION GRANTS.

       ``(a) Definitions.--As used in this section:
       ``(1) Arson.--The term `arson' includes all incendiary and 
     suspicious fires.
       ``(2) Office.--The term `Office' means the Office of Fire 
     Prevention and Arson Control of the United States Fire 
     Administration.
       ``(b) Grants.--The Administrator, acting through the 
     Office, shall carry out a demonstration program under which 
     not more than 10 grant awards shall be made to States, or 
     consortia of States, for programs relating to arson research, 
     prevention, and control.
       ``(c) Goals.--In carrying out this section, the 
     Administrator shall award 2-year grants on a competitive, 
     merit basis to States, or consortia of States, for projects 
     that promote one or more of the following goals:
       ``(1) To improve the training by States leading to 
     professional certification of arson investigators, in 
     accordance with nationally recognized certification 
     standards.
       ``(2) To provide resources for the formation of arson task 
     forces or interagency organizational arrangements involving 
     the police and fire departments and other relevant local 
     agencies, such as a State arson bureau and the office of a 
     fire marshal of a State.

     and occupation of Kuwait or out of the 1987 attack on the USS 
     Stark.

     Act of 1949 (22 U.S.C. 1621-1627 and 1645-1645o) shall apply 
     with respect to claims under this Act and the funds

     all such awards, pro rata payments on account of accrued

                   INDIVIDUALS WHO SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES OF 
                   IRAQ DURING THE PERSIAN GULF CONFLICT.

       (a) Statement of Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that individuals who have served in the armed forces of Iraq 
     during the Persian Gulf conflict should not be admitted to 
     the United States as refugees under the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act except in exceptional circumstances until all

     SEC. 11. HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) Saddam Hussein has been condemned by the international 
     community for his unwillingness to take the steps necessary 
     to provide for the basic humanitarian needs of the Iraqi 
     people;
       (2) dire shortages of food, medicine, and basic medical 
     supplies (including insulin, anesthetics, and antibiotics) 
     have resulted in a continuing humanitarian disaster in Iraq, 
     including massive human suffering and the death of hundreds 
     of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians during the past 4 
     years;
       (3) This humanitarian tragedy is occurring throughout Iraq;
       (4) the United States has a long history of providing 
     humanitarian assistance to alleviate human suffering in many 
     parts of the world; and
       (5) the United States Agency for International Development 
     has the authority under chapter 9 of part I of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961 (relating to international disaster 
     assistance) and other provisions of law to provide assistance 
     to address humanitarian needs throughout Iraq.
       (b) Statement of Congressional Policy.--It is the sense of 
     the Congress that--
       (1) the United States should immediately provide additional 
     humanitarian assistance, particularly medicine and medical 
     supplies, to alleviate the humanitarian disaster throughout 
     Iraq;
       (2) such assistance should be provided through independent 
     nongovernmental organizations and through international 
     organizations so that this desperately needed assistance can 
     reach all areas of need, in particular those outside the 
     United Nations protected areas; and
       (3) the costs of such assistance should be reimbursed from 
     any available Iraqi resources, including the Iraqi assets 
     that have been blocked pursuant to the International 
     Emergency Economic Powers Act so long as such reimbursement 
     does not reduce the amount paid on those priority claims of 
     members of the United States Armed Forces and other described 
     in section 2(d) of this Act and does not delay payment on 
     those claims.

     SEC. 12. PROSECUTION OF SADDAM HUSSEIN AND OTHER MEMBERS OF 
                   THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT FOR WAR CRIMES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) as ordered by Saddam Hussein, Iraq engaged in 
     unprovoked aggression in its conquest and occupation of 
     Kuwait;
       (2) the Iraqi occupation force treated Kuwaiti citizens 
     barbarously;
       (3) Saddam Hussein used American and European civilians as 
     ``human shields'' in an attempt to protect strategic 
     facilities throughout Iraq and directed that captured 
     American and allied prisoners of war be used for the same 
     purposes;
       (4) Saddam Hussein ordered his military to launch missile 
     attacks against innocent civilians in Israel and Saudi 
     Arabia; and
       (5) former President Bush and President Clinton rightly 
     warned Saddam Hussein and Iraqi Government officials that 
     they would be held responsible for any abuses they have 
     caused.
       (b) Establishment of Tribunal.--The Congress urges the 
     President to request the United Nations to establish a 
     tribunal to charge Saddam Hussein and other responsible Iraqi 
     Government officials for war crimes, acts of aggression, and 
     crimes against humanity they have committed.

  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read a third time by title.
  Mr. MANZULLO moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs with instructions to report the bill back to the House forthwith 
with the following amendment:

       Strike section 10(a) and insert the following:
       ``(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, 
     individuals who have served in the armed forces of Iraq 
     during the Persian Gulf conflict may not be admitted to the 
     United States as refugees under the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act.''.

  Pending consideration of said motion to recommit with instructions,

Para. 40.8  point of order

  Mr. HAMILTON made a point of order against the motion to recommmit 
with instructions, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I object to the motion to recommit and make a point of 
order against it.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I think the motion to recommit is not germane, because 
as I understand it, and I have not had the opportunity to see it, but I 
was trying to listen very carefully. As I understand it, it tries to 
change the basic immigration law that is the law of the land. I 
therefore think it should be subject to a point of order as not 
germane.''.

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

  ``Mr. Speaker, I join with the distinguished chairman of the Committee 
in raising the issue that this is a nongermane amendment.''.

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

  ``Mr. Speaker, under these very exceptional circumstances as to this 
rough language that was found in this bill as brought to the house by 
the gentleman from Pennsylvania, I think it would be in the best order 
and in the best interests of the American public to defeat this bill in 
final passage and sent it back to the full Committee on Foreign Affairs 
to redo the language.''.

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

  ``The gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Hamilton] makes a point of order 
that the amendment contained in the motion to recommit with instructions 
is not germane. The test of germaneness in this situation is to measure 
the amendment against the bill in its perfected form. The bill, as 
amended, appears to confine changes in law to those within the 
jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
  ``While section 10 does express the sense of Congress relating to 
Iraqi refugees, the bill does not change the Immigration and Nationality 
Act, other laws relating to admission of refugees, or contain other 
matter within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Judiciary.
  ``Since the amendment would change immigration law and the bill would 
not, the Chair sustains the point of order.''.

  Mr. MANZULLO moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs with instructions to report the bill back to the House forthwith 
with the following amendment:

       Strike section 10(a) and insert the following:

     SEC. 10. ADMISSION TO THE UNITED STATES AS REFUGEES OF 
                   INDIVIDUALS WHO SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES OF 
                   IRAQ DURING THE PERSIAN GULF CONFLICT.

       (a) Statement of Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that individuals who have served in the armed forces of Iraq 
     during the Persian Gulf conflict should not be admitted to 
     the United States as refugees under the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act except in exceptional circumstances.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House recommit said bill with instructions?

[[Page 725]]

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. KLECZKA, announced that the yeas had it.
  So the motion to recommit with instructions was agreed to.
  Mr. HAMILTON, by direction of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and 
pursuant to the foregoing order of the House reported the bill back to 
the House with said amendment.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said amendment?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. KLECZKA, announced that the yeas had it.
  So the amendment was agreed to.
  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read a third time by title.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House pass said bill?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. KLECZKA, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. KANJORSKI 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.

     of certain categories of agreements is not required, if the

       ``(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

     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, or 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 
     paragraph (2)(D)), including certified copies where necessary 
     for litigation or similar purposes, will be made available by

     SEC. 140. VISAS.

       (a) Surcharge for Processing Certain Visas.--
       (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     Secretary of State is authorized to charge a fee or surcharge 
     for processing machine readable nonimmigrant visas and 
     machine readable combined border crossing identification 
     cards and nonimmigrant visas.
       (2) Fees collected under the authority of subsection (a) 
     shall be deposited as an offsetting collection to any 
     Department of State appropriation. Such fees shall remain 
     available for obligation until expended.
       (3) For fiscal years 1994 and 1995, fees deposited under 
     the authority of paragraph (2) may not exceed a total of 
     $107,500,000. For subsequent fiscal years, fees may be 
     collected under the authority of paragraph (1) only in such 
     amounts as shall be prescribed in subsequent authorization 
     Acts.
       (4) The provisions of the Act of August 18, 1856 (Revised 
     Statutes 1726-28; 22 U.S.C. 4212-14), concerning accounting 
     for consular fees shall not apply to fees collected under 
     this subsection.
       (5) No fee or surcharge authorized under paragraph (1) may 
     be charged to a citizen of a country that is a signatory as 
     of the date of enactment of this Act to the North American 
     Free Trade Agreement, except that the Secretary of State may 
     charge such fee or surcharge to a citizen of such a country 
     if the Secretary determines that such country charges a visa 
     application or issuance fee to citizens of the United States.
       (b) Automated Visa Lookout System.--Not later than 18 
     months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of State shall implement an upgrade of all overseas 
     visa lookout operations to computerized systems with 
     automated multiple-name search capabilities.
       (c) Processing of Visas for Admission to the United 
     States.--
       (1)(A) Beginning 24 months after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, whenever a United States consular officer issues 
     a visa for admission to the United States, that official 
     shall certify, in writing, that a check of the Automated Visa 
     Lookout System, or any other system or list which maintains 
     information about the excludability of aliens under the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act, has been made and that there 
     is no basis under such system for the exclusion of such 
     alien.
       (B) If, at the time an alien applies for an immigrant or 
     nonimmigrant visa, the alien's name is included in the 
     Department of State's visa lookout system and the consular 
     officer to whom the application is made fails to follow the 
     procedures in processing the application required by the 
     inclusion of the alien's name in such system, the consular 
     officer's failure shall be made a matter of record and shall 
     be considered as a serious negative factor in the officer's 
     annual performance evaluation.
       (2) If an alien to whom a visa was issued as a result of a 
     failure described in paragraph (1)(B) is admitted to the 
     United States and there is thereafter probable cause to 
     believe that the alien was a participant in a terrorist act 
     causing serious loss of life or property in the United 
     States, the Secretary of State shall convene an 
     Accountability Review Board under the authority of title III 
     of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of

       (1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), the Department of 
     State Consolidated Immigrant Visa Processing Center shall 
     have on-line access, without payment of any fee or charge, to 
     the Interstate Identification Index of the National Crime 
     Information Center solely for the purpose of determining 
     whether a visa applicant has a criminal history record 
     indexed in such Index. Such access does not entitle the 
     Department of State to obtain the full content of automated 
     records through the Interstate Identification Index. To 
     obtain the full content of a criminal history record, the 
     Department shall submit a separate request to the 
     Identification Records Section of the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation, and shall pay the appropriate fee as provided 
     for in the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the 
     Judiciary, and Related Agencies Act, 1990 (Public Law 101-
     162).

     one-time start-up and recurring incremental non-personnel 
     costs of establishing and maintaining the access authorized 
     in paragraph (1).

     implementation of paragraph (1) shall be an employee of the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation selected by the Department of 
     State, and detailed to the Department on a fully reimbursable 
     basis.
       (4) Not later than December 31, 1996, the Secretary of 
     State and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
     shall jointly submit to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and 
     the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of 
     Representatives, and the Committee on Foreign Relations and 
     the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, a report on the 
     effectiveness of the procedure authorized in this subsection.
       (5) This subsection shall cease to have effect after 
     December 31, 1997.

     payment in local currencies constitutes a barrier to 
     competition by United States firms--
       ``(A) allow solicitations to be bid in United States 
     dollars; and

       ``(5) ensure that United States diplomatic and consular 
     posts assist United States firms in obtaining local licenses 
     and permits;''; and
       (2) in subsection (d)--
       (A) paragraph (1)(D), by striking ``and'' and inserting 
     ``or''; and
       (B) by adding at the end the following new paragraph (4):
       ``(4) the term `barrier to local competition' means--
       ``(A) conditions of extreme currency volatility;
       ``(B) restrictions on repatriation of profits;
       ``(C) multiple exchange rates which significantly 
     disadvantage United States firms;

     SEC. 142. WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--The Congress makes the following 
     declarations:
       (1) The State Department should designate a senior advisor 
     to the appropriate Undersecretary 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 
     foreign policy, bilateral assistance, multilateral diplomacy, 
     trade policy, and democracy promotion.
       (b) Congressional Notification.--Not later than 180 days 
     after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
     State shall notify the Congress of the steps taken to fulfill 
     the objectives detailed in subsection (a).

     economy.
       (B) During the second year each fellowship recipient will

     other agency of the Government of Japan or, subject to the 
     approval of the Center, a nongovernmental Japanese 
     institution associated with the interests of the fellowship 
     recipient, and the agency of the United States Government 
     from which the fellow originated, consistent with the 
     purposes of this part.

     language training by the Center through the provision of

     responsibilities under law.

     receiving assistance from the Center as provided in paragraph 
     (8)) to find reemployment for such period.
       (4) During the period of the fellowship, the Center shall 
     provide--

     positions in the civil service during the same period as the 
     fellowship; and
       (B) to each fellow (including detailees) certain allowances

     training in the Washington, D.C., area, as well as courses in

     provided to Foreign Service officers before they are assigned 
     to Japan.
       (C) The Center may waive any or all of the training 
     required by subparagraph (A) to the extent that a fellow has

     received during the final year of the fellowship for the same 
     period of time, including any allowances and benefits 
     provided under paragraph (4).
       (7) The Center shall select fellows based solely on merit. 
     The Center shall make positive efforts to recruit candidates 
     reflecting the cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity of the 
     United States.
       (8) The Center shall assist, to the extent possible, any 
     fellow who is not a detailee in finding employment in the 
     Federal Government if such fellow was not able, at the end of 
     the fellowship, to be reemployed in the agency from which he 
     or she separated to become a fellow.

     before receiving a fellowship that the fellow will--
       (A) continue in the service of the fellow's agency at the 
     end of the fellowship for a period of at least 2 years unless 
     the fellow is involuntarily separated from the service of 
     such agency; and
       (B) pay to the United States Information Agency any

     in the service of such agency.
       (3) The payment agreed to under paragraph (2)(B) may not be 
     required of a fellow who leaves the service of such agency to 
     enter into the service of another agency in any branch of the

     SEC. 402. UNITED STATES PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT OF THE 
                   UNITED NATIONS.

     nation's assessed contributions for United Nations 
     peacekeeping operations. As part of the overall review and 
     assessment, the Permanent Representative should make every 
     effort to advance the concept that, when appropriate, host 
     governments and other governments in the region where a 
     United Nations peacekeeping operation is carried out should 
     bear a greater burden of its financial cost.
       (b) Limitation on United States Contributions.--

     1949 Geneva Conventions and other international agreements

     bring to justice all individuals responsible for any 
     mistreatment or torture of, or for causing the death of, 
     United States military personnel who are captured while 
     serving in a multinational force.

     the United States.

     law, the President may direct the crating, packing, handling, 
     and transporting of excess defense articles without charge to

       (a) Assessed Contributions.--For assessed contributions 
     authorized to be appropriated for ``Assessed Contributions to 
     International Organizations'' by this Act, the President may 
     withhold 20 percent of the funds appropriated for the United 
     States assessed contribution to the United Nations or to any 
     of its specialized agencies for any calendar year if the 
     United Nations or any such agency has failed to implement or 
     to continue to implement consensus-based decisionmaking 
     procedures on budgetary matters which assure that sufficient 
     attention is paid to the views of the United States and other 
     member states that are the major financial contributors to 
     such assessed budgets.
       (b) Notice to Congress.--The President shall notify the 
     Congress when a decision is made to withhold any share of the 
     United States assessed contribution to the United Nations or 
     its specialized agencies pursuant to subsection (a) and shall 
     notify the Congress when the decision is made to pay any 
     previously withheld assessed contribution. A notification 
     under this subsection shall include appropriate consultation 
     between the President (or the President's representative) and 
     the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate.
       (c) Contributions for Prior Years.--Subject to the 
     availability of appropriations, payment of assessed 
     contributions for prior years may be made to the United 
     Nations or any of its specialized agencies notwithstanding 
     subsection (a) if such payment would further United States 
     interests in that organization.
       (d) Report to Congress.--Not later than February 1 of each 
     year, the President shall submit to the Congress a report 
     concerning the amount of United States assessed contributions 
     paid to the United Nations and each of its specialized 
     agencies during the preceding calendar year.
       (e) Repeal of Existing Law.--Section 162 of the Foreign

                   AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS.

       The United States shall not make any voluntary or assessed 
     contribution--
       (1) to any affiliated organization of the United Nations 
     which grants full membership as a state to any organization 
     or group that does not have the internationally recognized 
     attributes of statehood, or
       (2) to the United Nations, if the United Nations grants 
     full membership as a state in the United Nations to any 
     organization or group that does not have the internationally 
     recognized attributes of statehood,

     during any period in which such membership is effective.

     SEC. 411. 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 Congress that 
     the President should direct the Secretary of State to request 
     the Secretary-General of the United Nations to seek immediate 
     resolution of the problem described in this section. 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 of the Department of 
     State for the fiscal year 1995.

     SEC. 412. REFORMS IN THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress

     and efficient manner possible, particularly for the reduction 
     of diseases and disabilities in developing countries.
       (b) Policy.--The President shall direct the United States 
     representatives to the World Health Assembly, the Executive 
     Board, and the World Health Organization to monitor the 
     activities of the World Health Organization to ensure that 
     such organizations achieve--
       (1) the timely implementation of reforms and management 
     improvements, including those outlined in the resolutions of 
     the 46th World Health Assembly related to the external 
     Auditor (WHA 46.21), the Report of the Executive Board on the 
     WHO Response to Global Change (WHA 46.16) and actions for 
     Budgetary Reform (WHA 46.35); and
       (2) the effective and efficient utilization and monitoring 
     of resources, including--
       (A) the determination of strategic and financial 
     priorities; and
       (B) the establishment of realistic and measurable targets 
     in accordance with the established health priorities.

     SEC. 413. 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 (FAO) and the findings of the 
     ongoing investigation of the General Accounting Office, the 
     Congress makes the following declarations:
       (1) 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 
     funded through the TCP and establishing procedures to deploy 
     TCP consultants, supplies, and equipment in a timely manner.
       (2) In an effort to increase the presence of United States 
     personnel at the international food agencies and to enhance 
     the professionalism of these institutions, it should be the 
     policy of the United States, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, to utilize existing personnel programs such as 
     the United States Department of Agriculture Associate 
     Professional Officer program to place United States personnel 
     with unique skills in the Food and Agriculture Organization, 
     the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and the 
     World Food Program.

     SEC. 414. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ADHERENCE TO UNITED 
                   NATIONS CHARTER.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the President should seek an assurance from the 
     Secretary General of the United Nations that the United 
     Nations will comply with Article 100 of the United Nations 
     Charter;
       (2) neither the Secretary General of the United Nations nor 
     his staff should seek or receive instructions from any 
     government or from any other authority external to the United 
     Nations; and
       (3) the President should report to Congress when he 
     receives such assurance from the Secretary General of the 
     United Nations.

     sufficiency for refugee women, with special emphasis on women 
     heads of household;

     access for girls, and special services and family tracing for 
     unaccompanied refugee minors;

     gender so that appropriate health, education, and assistance 
     programs can be planned;

     program professionals in the international humanitarian 
     field; and

     implement the standards outlined in subsection (a).
       (c) Requirements for Refugee and Migration Assistance.--The 
     Secretary of State, in providing migration and refugee

     government the issue of abuses against refugee women and 
     children by governments or insurgent groups that engage in, 
     permit, or condone--
       (1) a pattern of gross violations of internationally 
     recognized human rights, such as torture or cruel, inhumane, 
     or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention 
     without charges, or other flagrant denial to life, liberty, 
     and the security of person;
       (2) the blockage of humanitarian relief assistance;
       (3) gender-specific persecution such as systematic

     remedial measures.
       (e) Multilateral Implementation of the 1991 UNHCR 
     ``Guidelines on the Protection of Refugee Women.--The 
     Secretary of State should work to ensure that multilateral 
     organizations fully incorporate the needs of refugee women

     assistance to adopt refugee assistance policies designed to

     with its international obligations and in keeping with the 
     longstanding humanitarian tradition of the United States, 
     promote increased respect internationally for the rights to 
     food and to medical care, including the protection of these 
     rights with respect to civilians and noncombatants during 
     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

     transfer in any way any defense article or defense service 
     should be made to any nation that does not fully furnish all 
     pertinent data to the United Nations Register of Conventional 
     Arms pursuant to United Nations General Assembly Resolution 
     46/36L by the reporting date specified by such register;
       (2) if a nation has not submitted the required information

     provide such information at the next reporting date, an 
     agreement may be

[[Page 749]]

     the actual delivery of such defense article or service should 
     not occur until that nation submits such information; and
       (3) the President should seek to restart the United Nations 
     Security Council ``Perm-5'' talks and should report to the 
     Congress on the progress of such talks and the effects of 
     United States agreements since October 1991 to sell arms to 
     the developing world.

       (1) there is a growing concern among some of the Members of 
     this body that the unlimited terms of Office of Inspectors 
     General in Federal agencies may be undesirable, therefore
       (2) the issue of amending the Inspector General Act to 
     establish term limits for Inspectors General should be 
     examined and considered as soon as possible by the 
     appropriate committees of jurisdiction.

     assist the Iraqi regime;

                   NONDISCRIMINATORY MOST-FAVORED-NATION 
                   TREATMENT.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) In an Executive Order of May 28, 1993, the President 
     established conditions for renewal of most-favored-nation 
     (MFN) status for the People's Republic of China in 1994.

[[Page 750]]

       (2) The Executive Order requires that in making a 
     recommendation about the further extension of MFN status to 
     China, the Secretary of State shall not recommend extension 
     unless the Secretary determines that--
       (A) extension will substantially promote the freedom of 
     emigration objectives of section 402 of the Trade Act of 
     1974; and
       (B) China is complying with the 1992 bilateral agreement 
     between the United States and China concerning prison labor.
       (3) The Executive Order further requires that in making a 
     recommendation, the Secretary of State shall determine 
     whether China has made overall, significant progress with 
     respect to--
       (A) taking steps to begin adhering to the Universal 
     Declaration of Human Rights;
       (B) releasing and providing an acceptable accounting for 
     Chinese citizens imprisoned or detained for the non-violent 
     expression of their political and religious beliefs, 
     including such expression of religious beliefs in connection 
     with the Democracy Wall and Tiananmen Square movements;
       (C) ensuring humane treatment of prisoners, such as by 
     allowing access to prisons by international humanitarian and 
     human rights organizations;
       (D) protecting Tibet's distinctive religious and cultural 
     heritage; and
       (E) permitting international radio and television 
     broadcasts into China.
       (4) The Executive Order further requires the Executive 
     Branch to resolutely pursue all legislative and executive 
     actions to ensure that China abides by its commitments to 
     follow fair, nondiscriminatory trade practices in dealing 
     with United States businesses, and adheres to the Nuclear 
     Nonproliferation Treaty, the Missile Technology Control 
     Regime guidelines and parameters, and other nonproliferation 
     commitments.
       (5) The Chinese government should cooperate with 
     international efforts to obtain North Korea's full, 
     unconditional compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty.
       (6) The President has initiated an intensive high-level 
     dialogue with the Chinese government which began last year 
     with a meeting between the Secretary of State and the Chinese 
     Foreign Minister, including a meeting in Seattle between the 
     President and the President of China, meetings in Beijing 
     with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Assistant Secretary 
     for Human Rights and others, a recent meeting in Paris 
     between the Secretary of State and the Chinese Foreign 
     Minister, and recent meetings in Washington with several 
     Under Secretaries and their Chinese counterparts.
       (7) The President's efforts have led to some recent 
     progress on some issues of concern to the United States.
       (8) Notwithstanding this, substantially more progress is 
     needed to meet the standards in the President's Executive 
     Order.
       (9) The Chinese government's overall human rights record in 
     1993 fell far short of internationally accepted norms as it 
     continued to repress critics and failed to control abuses by 
     its own security forces.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
     the President of the United States should use all appropriate 
     opportunities, in particular more high-level exchanges with 
     the Chinese government, to press for further concrete 
     progress toward meeting the standards for continuation of MFN 
     status as contained in the Executive Order.

     ``Partnership for Peace'' initiative, including an assessment 
     of the progress made by former members of the Warsaw Treaty 
     Organization in meeting the criteria for full membership 
     articulated in Article 10 of the North Atlantic Treaty, 
     wherein any other European state may, by unanimous agreement, 
     be invited to accede to the North Atlantic Treaty if it is in 
     a position to further the principles of the Treaty and to 
     contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area.
       (b) Authority of the President.--The President is 
     authorized to confer, pursuant to agreement with any country 
     eligible to participate in the Partnership for Peace, rights 
     in respect of the military and related civilian personnel 
     (including dependents of any such personnel) and activities 
     of that country in the United States comparable to the rights 
     conferred by that country in respect of the military and 
     related civilian personnel (including dependents of any such 
     personnel) and activities of the United States in that 
     country.

     United Nations sponsored elections offers a unique 
     opportunity for the revival of the Cambodian nation, an 
     opportunity which the United States should help realize;
       (2) the President should enunciate a clear policy toward 
     Burma and, in so doing, be guided by the approach in Senate 
     Resolution 112;
       (3) the government and people of Thailand are to be 
     commended for Thailand's return to civilian, democratic rule, 
     and for its contribution to the implementation of the Paris 
     Peace Accords on Cambodia;
       (4) the President of the United States should convey to 
     Thailand United States concern over the continued support for 
     the Khmer Rouge by elements of the Thai military and to urge 
     the Thai Government to intensify its efforts to terminate 
     that support, in accordance with the Paris Peace Accords;
       (5) the Government of Thailand should continue to allow the 
     democratic leaders of Burma to operate freely within Thailand 
     and to grant them free passage to allow them to present their 
     case at the United Nations and other international 
     gatherings;
       (6) the President of the United States should urge the 
     Government of Thailand to prosecute, with the full force of 
     law, those responsible for the trafficking, forced labor, and 
     physical and sexual abuse of women and children in Thailand, 
     and to protect the civil and human rights of Burmese women in 
     Thailand and prevent their further victimization; and
       (7) the United States should work with the United Nations 
     High Commissioner for Refugees, the Government of Thailand, 
     and other relevant parties to ensure that the rights of 
     asylum seekers in Thailand, and in particular the Hmong 
     people from Laos, are fully respected and that force is not 
     used in any repatriations.

     SEC. 516. PEACE PROCESS IN NORTHERN IRELAND.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the United States 
     should--
       (1) strongly encourage all parties to the conflict in the 
     North of Ireland to renounce violence and to participate in 
     the current search for peace in the region; and
       (2) assist in furthering the peace process where 
     appropriate.

     SEC. 517. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN 
                   INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.

       (a) Senate Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The freedom and security of the international community 
     rests on the sanctity of the rule of law.
       (2) The international community is increasingly threatened 
     by unlawful acts such as war crimes, genocide, aggression, 
     crimes against humanity, terrorism, drug trafficking, money 
     laundering, and other crimes of an international character.
       (3) The prosecution of individuals suspected of carrying 
     out such acts is often impeded by political and legal 
     obstacles such as amnesties, disputes over extradition, 
     differences in the structure and capabilities of national 
     courts, and the lack of uniform guidelines under which to try 
     such individuals.
       (4) The war crimes trials held in the aftermath of World 
     War II at Nuremberg, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan, demonstrated 
     that fair and effective prosecution of war criminals could be 
     carried out in an international forum.
       (5) Since its inception in 1945 the United Nations has 
     sought to build on the precedent established at the Nuremberg 
     and Tokyo trials by establishing a permanent international 
     criminal court with jurisdiction over crimes of an 
     international character.
       (6) United Nations General Assembly Resolution 44/39, 
     adopted on December 4, 1989, called on the International Law 
     Commission to study the feasibility of an international 
     criminal court.
       (7) In the years after passage of that resolution the 
     International Law Commission has taken a number of steps to 
     advance the debate over such a court, including--
       (A) the provisional adoption of a draft Code of Crimes 
     Against the Peace and Security of Mankind;
       (B) the creation of a Working Group on an International 
     Criminal Jurisdiction and the formulation by that Working 
     Group of several concrete proposals for the establishment and 
     operation of an international criminal court; and
       (C) the determination that an international criminal court 
     along the lines of that suggested by the Working Group is 
     feasible and that the logical next step would be to proceed 
     with the formal drafting of a statute for such a court.
       (8) United Nations General Assembly Resolution 47/33, 
     adopted on November 25, 1992, called on the International Law 
     Commission to begin the process of drafting a statute for an 
     international criminal court at its next session.
       (9) Given the developments of recent years, the time is 
     propitious for the United States to lend its support to this 
     effort.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the establishment of an international criminal court 
     with jurisdiction over crimes of an international character 
     would greatly strengthen the international rule of law;
       (2) such a court would thereby serve the interests of the 
     United States and the world community; and
       (3) the United States delegation should make every effort 
     to advance this proposal at the United Nations.
       (c) Required Report.--Not later than 14 days after the date 
     of enactment of this Act the President shall submit to the 
     Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a detailed 
     report on developments relating to, and United States efforts 
     in support of, the establishment of an international criminal 
     court with jurisdiction over crimes of an international 
     character.

     SEC. 518. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PARTICIPATION.

       The United States Senate will not consent to the 
     ratification of a treaty providing for United States 
     participation in an inter- 

[[Page 751]]

     national criminal court with jurisdiction over crimes of an 
     international nature which permits representatives of any 
     terrorist organization, including but not limited to the 
     Palestine Liberation Organization, or citizens, nationals or 
     residents of any country listed by the Secretary of State 
     under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 
     as having repeatedly provided support for acts of 
     international terrorism, to sit in judgement on American 
     citizens.

     SEC. 519. PROTECTION OF FIRST AND FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

       The United States Senate will not consent to the 
     ratification of any Treaty providing for United States 
     participation in an international criminal court with 
     jurisdiction over crimes of an international character unless 
     American citizens are guaranteed, in the terms establishing 
     such a court, and in the court's operation, that the court 
     will take no action infringing upon or diminishing their 
     rights under the First and Fourth Amendments of the 
     Constitution of the United States, as interpreted by the 
     United States.

     SEC. 520. POLICY ON TERMINATION OF UNITED STATES ARMS 
                   EMBARGO.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On July 10, 1991, the United States adopted a policy 
     suspending all licenses and other approvals to export or 
     otherwise transfer defense articles and defense services to 
     Yugoslavia.
       (2) On September 25, 1991, the United Nations Security 
     Council adopted Resolution 713, which imposed a mandatory 
     international embargo on all deliveries of weapons and 
     military equipment to Yugoslavia.
       (3) The United States considered the policy adopted July 
     10, 1991, to comply fully with Resolution 713 and therefore 
     took no additional action in response to that resolution.
       (4) On January 8, 1992, the United Nations Security Council 
     adopted Resolution 727, which decided that the mandatory arms 
     embargo imposed by Resolution 713 should apply to any 
     independent states that might thereafter emerge on the 
     territory of Yugoslavia.
       (5) On February 29 and March 1, 1992, the people of Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina voted in a referendum to declare independence 
     from Yugoslavia.
       (6) On April 7, 1992, the United States recognized the 
     Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (7) On May 22, 1992, the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina was admitted to full membership in the United 
     Nations.
       (8) Consistent with Resolution 727, the United States has 
     continued to apply the policy adopted July 10, 1991, to 
     independent states that have emerged on the territory of the 
     former Yugoslavia, including Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (9) Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution 727 and Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina's independence referendum, the siege of 
     Sarajevo began and fighting spread to other areas of Bosnia 
     and Herzegovina.
       (10) The Government of Serbia intervened directly in the 
     fighting by providing significant military, financial, and 
     political support and direction to Serbian-allied irregular 
     forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (11) In statements dated May 1 and May 12, 1992, the 
     Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe declared 
     that the Government of Serbia and the Serbian-controlled 
     Yugoslav National Army were committing aggression against the 
     Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina and assigned to them 
     prime responsibility for the escalation of bloodshed and 
     destruction.
       (12) On May 30, 1992, the United Nations Security Council 
     adopted Resolution 757, which condemned the Government of 
     Serbia for its continued failure to respect the territorial 
     integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
       (13) Serbian-allied irregular forces have occupied 
     approximately 70 percent of the territory of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina, committed gross violations of human rights in 
     the areas they have occupied, and established a secessionist 
     government committed to eventual unification with Serbia.
       (14) The military and other support and direction provided 
     to Serbian-allied irregular forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina 
     constitutes an armed attack on the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina by the Government of Serbia within the meaning of 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (15) Under Article 51, the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina, as a member of the United Nations, has an 
     inherent right of individual or collective self-defense 
     against the armed attack from the Government of Serbia until 
     the United Nations Security Council has taken measures 
     necessary to maintain international peace and security.
       (16) The measures taken by the United Nations Security 
     Council in response to the armed attack on Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina have not been adequate to maintain international 
     peace and security.
       (17) Bosnia and Herzegovina has been unable successfully to 
     resist the armed attack from Serbia because it lacks the 
     means to counter heavy weaponry that Serbia obtained from the 
     Yugoslav National Army upon the dissolution of Yugoslavia, 
     and because the mandatory international arms embargo has 
     prevented Bosnia and Herzegovina from obtaining from other 
     countries the means to counter such heavy weaponry.
       (18) On December 18, 1992, with the affirmative vote of the 
     United States, the United Nations General Assembly adopted 
     Resolution 47/121, which urged the United Nations Security 
     Council to exempt Bosnia and Herzegovina from the mandatory 
     arms embargo imposed by Resolution 713.
       (19) In the absence of adequate measures to maintain 
     international peace and security, continued application to 
     the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina of the mandatory 
     international arms embargo imposed by the United Nations 
     Security Council prior to the armed attack on Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina undermines that government's right of individual 
     or collective self-defense and therefore contravenes Article 
     51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (20) Bosnia and Herzegovina's right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter includes the right 
     to ask for military assistance from other countries and to 
     receive such assistance if offered.
       (b) Policy on Termination of Arms Embargo.--(1) It is the 
     sense of the Congress that the President should terminate the 
     United States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina upon receipt from that government of a request 
     for assistance in exercising its right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (2) As used in this subsection, the term ``United States 
     arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina'' 
     means the application to the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina of--
       (A) the policy adopted July 10, 1991, and published in the 
     Federal Register of July 19, 1991 (58 Fed. Reg. 33322) under 
     the heading ``Suspension of Munitions Export Licenses to 
     Yugoslavia''; and
       (B) any similar policy being applied by the United States 
     Government as of the date of receipt of the request described 
     in subsection (a) pursuant to which approval is routinely 
     denied for transfers of defense articles and defense services 
     to the former Yugoslavia.
       (c) Policy on Military Assistance.--The President should 
     provide appropriate military assistance to the Government of 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina upon receipt from that government of a 
     request for assistance in exercising its right of self-
     defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

     SEC. 521. SENSE OF SENATE ON RELATIONS WITH VIETNAM.

       It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Government of the United States is committed to 
     seeking the fullest possible accounting of American 
     servicemen unaccounted for during the war in Vietnam;
       (2) cooperation by the Government of Vietnam on resolving 
     the fate of those American servicemen unaccounted for has 
     increased significantly over the last three years and is 
     essential to the resolution of outstanding POW/MIA cases;
       (3) substantial and tangible progress has been made in the 
     POW/MIA accounting process;
       (4) cooperative efforts between the United States and 
     Vietnam should continue in order to resolve all outstanding 
     questions concerning the fate of Americans missing-in-action;
       (5) United States senior military commanders and United 
     States personnel working in the field to account for United 
     States POW/MIAs in Vietnam believe that lifting the United 
     States trade embargo against Vietnam will facilitate and 
     accelerate the accounting efforts;
       (6) therefore, in order to maintain and expand further 
     United States and Vietnamese efforts to obtain the fullest 
     possible accounting, the President should lift the United 
     States trade embargo against Vietnam expeditiously; and
       (7) moveover, as the United States and Vietnam move toward 
     normalization of relations, the Government of Vietnam should 
     demonstrate further improvements in meeting internationally 
     recognized standards of human rights.

     SEC. 522. REPORT ON SANCTIONS ON VIETNAM.

       Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the President shall submit a report, taking into account 
     information available to the United States Government, to the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on achieving the 
     fullest possible accounting of United States personnel 
     unaccounted for from the Vietnam War, including--
       (1) progress on recovering and repatriating American 
     remains from Vietnam;
       (2) progress on resolution of discrepancy cases;
       (3) the status of Vietnamese cooperation in implementing 
     trilateral investigations with Laos; and
       (4) progress on accelerated efforts to obtain all POW/MIA 
     related documents from Vietnam.

     SEC. 523. REPORT ON PEOPLE'S MUJAHEDDIN OF IRAN.

       (a) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the

     and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a report 
     detailing the structure, current activities, external 
     support, and history of the People's Mujaheddin of Iran. Such 
     report shall include information on any current direct or 
     indirect support by the People's Mujaheddin for acts of 
     international terrorism.
       (b) Consultation.--In compiling the report required under 
     subsection (a), the President shall consult with the 
     Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney 
     General, the Secretary of Transportation, the intelligence 
     community, and such law enforcement agencies as may be 
     appropriate.
       (c) Classification.--The President should, to the maximum 
     extent possible, submit the report required under subsection 
     (a) in an unclassified form.

     Minister of Norway of September 9, 1993; and''.

     SEC. 525. FREE TRADE IN IDEAS.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the President should not restrict travel or exchanges 
     for informational, educational, religious, cultural, or 
     humanitarian purposes or for public performances or 
     exhibitions, between the United States and any other country.
       (b) Amendments to Trading With the Enemy Act.--(1) Section 
     5(b)(4) of the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 
     5(b)(4)) is amended to read as follows:
       ``(4) The authority granted to the President by this 
     section does not include the authority to regulate or 
     prohibit, directly or indirectly, the importation from any

     including but not limited to, publications, films, posters,

     such controls promote the nonproliferation or antiterrorism 
     policies of the United States, or with respect to which acts 
     are prohibited by chapter 37 of title 18, United States 
     Code.''.
       (2) The authorities conferred upon the President by section 
     5(b) of the Trading With the Enemy Act, which were being 
     exercised with respect to a country on July 1, 1977, as a 
     result of a national emergency declared by the President 
     before such date, and are being exercised on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, do not include the authority to

     United States, or with respect to which acts are prohibited 
     by chapter 37 of title 18, United States Code; or
       ``(4) any transactions ordinarily incident to travel to or

     Security Council embargo against the dictatorship of Cuba.

     SEC. 527. EXPROPRIATION OF UNITED STATES PROPERTY.

       (a) Prohibition.--None of the funds made available to carry 
     out this Act, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, or the Arms 
     Export Control Act may be provided to a government or any 
     agency or instrumentality thereof, if the government of such 
     country (other than a country described if subsection (d))--
       (1) has on or after January 1, 1956--
       (A) nationalized or expropriated the property of any United 
     States person,
       (B) repudiated or nullified any contract with any United 
     States person, or
       (C) taken any other action (such as the imposition of 
     discriminatory taxes or other exactions) which has the effect 
     of seizing ownership or control of the property of any United 
     States person, and
       (2) has not, within the period specified in subsection (c), 
     either--
       (A) returned the property,
       (B) provided adequate and effective compensation for such 
     property in convertible foreign exchange or other mutually 
     acceptable compensation equivalent to the full value thereof, 
     as required by international law,

     bank and international financial institution to vote against 
     any loan or other utilization of the funds of such bank or

     SEC. 529. UNITED STATES POLICY ON NORTH KOREA.

       It is the sense of the Congress that:
       (1) It is in the United States national security interest 
     to curtail the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, 
     particularly nuclear weapons.
       (2) The North Korea Nuclear weapons program is one of the 
     most pressing national security challenges the United States 
     currently faces.
       (3) North Korea's development of other weapons of mass 
     destruction and of ballistic missiles further threatens 
     United States national security interests and regional 
     security.
       (4) United States policy should ensure that North Korea 
     does not possess a nuclear bomb or the capability to build 
     one.
       (5) United States forces in Korea must remain vigilant and 
     maintain a robust defense posture.
       (6) While diplomacy is the preferable method of dealing 
     with the North Korean nuclear challenge, all options, 
     including the appropriate use of force, remain available.
       (7) In fashioning an appropriate policy for dealing with 
     the challenge presented by North Korea's nuclear program, the 
     Administration should consult closely with United States 
     treaty allies, particularly Japan and the Republic of Korea, 
     as well as with China, Russia, and other members of the 
     United Nations Security Council.
       (8) United States policy should support the efforts of the 
     International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as the 
     international community's designated body for verifying 
     compliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, to 
     perform inspections of North Korea's nuclear program.
       (9) The United States should encourage strong and 
     expeditious action by the United Nations Security Council 
     inasmuch as North Korea has proved unwilling to comply fully 
     with the following:
       (A) North Korea's December 1991 denuclearization agreement 
     with South Korea pledging not to possess, manufacture, or use 
     nuclear weapons, not to possess plutonium reprocessing 
     facilities, and to negotiate the establishment of a nuclear 
     inspection system.
       (B) The nuclear safeguards agreement North Korea signed 
     with the IAEA on January 30, 1992.
       (C) The agreement on IAEA inspections North Korea accepted 
     on February 15, 1994.
       (10) Unless North Korea unequivocally adheres to the 
     Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and abides by all provisions 
     of that treaty, the President should seek international 
     consensus to isolate North Korea, including the imposition of 
     sanctions, in an effort to persuade Pyongyang to halt its 
     nuclear weapons program and permit IAEA inspections of all 
     its nuclear facilities.
       (11) Recognizing that within the international community 
     China has significant influence over Pyongyang, the nature 
     and extent of Chinese cooperation with the rest of the 
     international community on the North Korean nuclear issue, 
     including Chinese support for international sanctions should 
     such sanctions be proposed and/or adopted, will inevitably be 
     a significant factor in United States-China relations.
       (12) If unable to achieve an international consensus to 
     isolate North Korea, the President should employ all 
     unilateral means of leverage over North Korea, including, but 
     not limited to, the prohibition of any transaction involving 
     the commercial sale of any good or technology to North Korea.
       (13) The President should consult with United States allies 
     in the region regarding the military posture of North Korea 
     and the ability of the United States and its allies to deter 
     a North Korean attack, or to defeat such an attack should it 
     occur.
       (14) Toward these ends, the United States and South Korea 
     should take all steps necessary to ensure that United States 
     and South Korean forces stationed on the Korean peninsula can 
     defend themselves, including the holding of Team Spirit or 
     other joint military exercises, the deployment of Patriot 
     missiles to South Korea, and other appropriate measures.
       (15) The problem posed by North Korea's nuclear program is 
     not a bilateral problem between the United States and North 
     Korea, but a problem in which virtually the entire global 
     community is united against North Korea.
       (16) The international community must insist upon full 
     compliance by North Korea with all its nonproliferation 
     commitments including acceptance of regular and ad hoc 
     inspections of its declared nuclear facilities on a 
     continuing basis, as well as special inspections of all 
     suspected nuclear sites as the IAEA deems appropriate.
       (17) International concerns about North Korea's nuclear 
     intentions and capabilities will not be adequately addressed 
     until North Korea cooperates fully with the IAEA, all North 
     Korea nuclear facilities and materials are placed under 
     fullscope safeguards, and North Korea adheres unequivocally 
     to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty as well as to its 1991 
     denuclearization agreement with South Korea.
       (18) The Administration should work to encourage a 
     productive dialogue between North and South Korea that 
     adequately addresses all security concerns on the Korean 
     peninsula.

     SEC. 530. ENFORCEMENT OF NONPROLIFERATION TREATIES.

       (a) Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
     President should instruct the United States Permanent 
     Representative to the United Nations to enhance the role of 
     that institution in the enforcement of nonproliferation 
     treaties through the passage of a United Nations Security 
     Council resolution which would state that, any non-nuclear 
     weapon state that is found by the United Nations Security 
     Council, in consultation with the International Atomic Energy 
     Agency (IAEA), to have terminated, abrogated, or materially 
     violated an IAEA full-scope safeguards agreement would be 
     subjected to international economic sanctions, the scope of 
     which to be determined by the United Nations Security 
     Council.
       (b) Prohibition.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, no United States assistance under the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961 shall be provided to any non-nuclear weapon state 
     that is found by the President to have terminated, abrogated, 
     or materially violated an IAEA full-scope safeguard agreement 
     or materially violated a bilateral United States nuclear 
     cooperation agreement entered into after the date of 
     enactment of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978.
       (c) Waiver.--The President may waive the application of 
     subsection (b) if--
       (1) the President determines that the termination of such 
     assistance would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement 
     of United States nonproliferation objectives or otherwise 
     jeopardize the common defense and security; and
       (2) the President reports such determination to the 
     Congress at least 15 days in advance of any resumption of 
     assistance to that state.

     SEC. 531. TAIWAN.

       In view of the self-defense needs of Taiwan, the Congress 
     makes the following declarations:
       (1) Sections 2 and 3 of the Taiwan Relations Act are 
     reaffirmed.
       (2) Section 3 of the Taiwan Relations Act take primacy over 
     statements of United States policy, including communiques, 
     regulations, directives, and policies based thereon.
       (3) In assessing the extent to which the People's Republic 
     of China is pursuing its ``fundamental policy'' to strive 
     peacefully to resolve the Taiwan issue, the United States 
     should take into account both the capabilities and intentions 
     of the People's Republic of China.
       (4) The President should on a regular basis assess changes 
     in the capabilities and intentions of the People's Republic 
     of China and consider whether it is appropriate to adjust 
     arms sales to Taiwan accordingly.

     SEC. 532. WAIVER OF SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE FEDERAL 
                   REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA TO PROMOTE DEMOCRACY

       (a) Authority.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
     the President is authorized and encouraged to exempt from 
     sanctions imposed against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 
     those United States-supported programs, projects, or 
     activities involving reform of the electoral process, or the 
     development of democratic institutions or democratic 
     political parties.
       (b) Policy.--The President, acting through the United 
     States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, should 
     propose that any action, past or future, by the Security 
     Council pursuant to Article 41 of the United

     SEC. 536. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ON OCCUPIED TIBET.

     representatives are the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government 
     in exile--
       (1) it is the sense of the Congress that the United States

     Government in exile, concerning the situation in Tibet and 
     the future of the Tibetan people and to expand and strengthen

     the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the resulting 
     emergence of fifteen new independent states, and the 
     revolutionary changes in Eastern Europe, is to prevent the 
     proliferation of nuclear weapons and their means of delivery 
     and of advanced conventional armaments, to eliminate chemical 
     and biological weapons, and to reduce and limit the large 
     numbers of nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union, as 
     well as to prevent regional conflicts and conventional arms 
     races; and

     of law and international change is achieved peacefully 
     without the danger and burden of destabilizing and costly 
     armaments.

     SEC. 821. IMPOSITION OF PROCUREMENT SANCTION ON PERSONS 
                   ENGAGING IN EXPORT ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE 
                   TO PROLIFERATION.

       (a) Determination by the President.--
       (1) In general.--Except as provided in subsection (b)(2), 
     the President shall impose the sanction described in 
     subsection (c) if the President determines in writing that, 
     on or after the effective date of this part, a foreign person 
     or a United States person has materially and with requisite 
     knowledge contributed, through the export from the United 
     States or any other country of any goods or technology (as 
     defined in section 830(2)), to the efforts by any individual, 
     group, or non-nuclear-weapon state to acquire unsafeguarded 
     special nuclear material or to use, develop, produce, 
     stockpile, or otherwise acquire any nuclear explosive device.
       (2) Persons against which the sanction is to be imposed.--
     The sanction shall be imposed pursuant to paragraph (1) on--
       (A) the foreign person or United States person with respect 
     to which the President makes the determination described in

       (B) any successor entity to that foreign person or United 
     States person;
       (C) any foreign person or United States person that is a 
     parent or subsidiary of that person if that parent or 
     subsidiary materially and with requisite knowledge assisted 
     in the activities which were the basis of that determination; 
     and
       (D) any foreign person or United States person that is an 
     affiliate of that person if that affiliate materially and 
     with requisite knowledge assisted in the activities which 
     were the basis of that determination and if that affiliate is 
     controlled in fact by that person.
       (3) Other sanctions available.--The sanction which is 
     required to be imposed for activities described in this 
     subsection is in addition to any other sanction which may be 
     imposed for the same activities under any other provision of 
     law.
       (4) Definition.--For purposes of this subsection, the term 
     ``requisite knowledge'' means situations in which a person 
     ``knows'', as ``knowing'' is defined in section 104 of the 
     Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (15 U.S.C. 78dd-2).
       (b) Consultation With and Actions by Foreign Government of 
     Jurisdiction.--
       (1) Consultations.--If the President makes a determination 
     described in subsection (a)(1) with respect to a foreign 
     person, the Congress urges the President to initiate 
     consultations immediately with the government with primary 
     jurisdiction over that foreign person with respect to the 
     imposition of the sanction pursuant to this section.
       (2) Actions by government of jurisdiction.--In order to 
     pursue such consultations with that government, the President 
     may delay imposition of the sanction pursuant to this section 
     for up to 90 days. Following these consultations, the 
     President shall impose the sanction unless the President 
     determines and certifies in writing to the Congress that that 
     government has taken specific and effective actions, 
     including appropriate penalties, to terminate the involvement 
     of the foreign person in the activities described in 
     subsection (a)(1). The President may delay the imposition of 
     the sanction for up to an additional 90 days if the President 
     determines and certifies in writing to the Congress that that 
     government is in the process of taking the actions described 
     in the preceding sentence.
       (3) Report to congress.--Not later than 90 days after 
     making a determination under subsection (a)(1), the President 
     shall submit to the Committee on Foreign Relations and the 
     Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate and the 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives 
     a report on the status of consultations with the appropriate 
     government under this subsection, and the basis for any 
     determination under paragraph (2) of this subsection that 
     such government has taken specific corrective actions.
       (c) Sanction.--
       (1) Description of sanction.--The sanction to be imposed 
     pursuant to subsection (a)(1) is, except as provided in 
     paragraph (2) of this subsection, that the United States 
     Government shall not procure, or enter into any contract for 
     the procurement of, any goods or services from any person 
     described in subsection (a)(2).
       (2) Exceptions.--The President shall not be required to 
     apply or maintain the sanction under this section--
       (A) in the case of procurement of defense articles or 
     defense services--
       (i) under existing contracts or subcontracts, including the 
     exercise of options for production quantities to satisfy 
     requirements essential to the national security of the United 
     States;
       (ii) if the President determines in writing that the person 
     or other entity to which the sanction would otherwise be 
     applied is a sole source supplier of the defense articles or 
     services, that the defense articles or services are 
     essential, and that alternative sources are not readily or 
     reasonably available; or
       (iii) if the President determines in writing that such 
     articles or services are essential to the national security 
     under defense coproduction agreements;
       (B) to products or services provided under contracts 
     entered into before the date on which the President publishes 
     his intention to impose the sanction;
       (C) to--
       (i) spare parts which are essential to United States 
     products or production;
       (ii) component parts, but not finished products, essential 
     to United States products or production; or
       (iii) routine servicing and maintenance of products, to the 
     extent that alternative sources are not readily or reasonably 
     available;
       (D) to information and technology essential to United 
     States products or production; or
       (E) to medical or other humanitarian items.
       (d) Advisory Opinions.--Upon the request of any person, the 
     Secretary of State may, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Defense, issue in writing an advisory opinion to that person 
     as to whether a proposed activity by that person would 
     subject that person to the sanction under this section. Any 
     person who relies in good faith on such an advisory opinion 
     which states that the proposed activity would not subject a 
     person to such sanction, and any person who thereafter 
     engages in such activity, may not be made subject to such 
     sanction on account of such activity.
       (e) Termination of the Sanction.--The sanction imposed 
     pursuant to this section shall apply for a period of at least 
     12 months following the imposition of the sanction and shall 
     cease to apply thereafter only if the President determines 
     and certifies in writing to the Congress that--
       (1) reliable information indicates that the foreign person 
     or United States person with respect to which the 
     determination was made under subsection (a)(1) has ceased to 
     aid or abet any individual, group, or non-nuclear-weapon 
     state in its efforts to acquire unsafeguarded special nuclear 
     material or any nuclear explosive device, as described in 
     that subsection; and
       (2) the President has received reliable assurances from the 
     foreign person or United States person, as the case may be, 
     that such person will not, in the future, aid or abet any 
     individual, group, or non-nuclear-weapon state in its efforts 
     to acquire unsafeguarded special nuclear material or any 
     nuclear explosive device, as described in subsection (a)(1).
       (f) Waiver.--
       (1) Criterion for waiver.--The President may waive the 
     application of the sanction imposed on any person pursuant to 
     this section, after the end of the 12-month period beginning 
     on the date on which that sanction was imposed on that 
     person, if the President determines and certifies in writing 
     to the Congress that the continued imposition of the sanction 
     would have a serious adverse effect on vital United States 
     interests.
       (2) Notification of and report to congress.--If the 
     President decides to exercise the waiver authority provided 
     in paragraph (1), the President shall so notify the Congress 
     not less than 20 days before the waiver takes effect. Such 
     notification shall include a report fully articulating the 
     rationale and circumstances which led the President to 
     exercise the waiver authority.

               PART C--INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY

     SEC. 841. BILATERAL AND MULTILATERAL INITIATIVES.

       It is the sense of the Congress that in order to maintain 
     and enhance international confidence in the effectiveness of 
     IAEA safeguards and in other multilateral undertakings to 
     halt the global proliferation of nuclear weapons, the United 
     States should seek to negotiate with other nations and groups 
     of nations, including the IAEA Board of Governors and the 
     Nuclear Suppliers Group, to--
       (1) build international support for the principle that 
     nuclear supply relationships must require purchasing nations 
     to agree to full-scope international safeguards;
       (2) encourage each nuclear-weapon state within the meaning 
     of the Treaty to undertake a comprehensive review of its own 
     procedures for declassifying information relating to the 
     design or production of nuclear explosive devices and to 
     investigate any measures that would reduce the risk of such 
     information contributing to nuclear weapons proliferation;
       (3) encourage the deferral of efforts to produce weapons-
     grade nuclear material for large-scale commercial uses until 
     such time as safeguards are developed that can detect, on a 
     timely and reliable basis, the diversion of significant 
     quantities of such material for nuclear explosive purposes;
       (4) pursue greater financial support for the implementation 
     and improvement of safeguards from all IAEA member nations 
     with significant nuclear programs, particularly from those 
     nations that are currently using or planning to use weapons-
     grade nuclear material for commercial purposes;
       (5) arrange for the timely payment of annual financial 
     contributions by all members of the IAEA, including the 
     United States;
       (6) pursue the elimination of international commerce in 
     highly enriched uranium for use in research reactors while 
     encouraging multilateral cooperation to develop and to use 
     low-enriched alternative nuclear fuels;
       (7) oppose efforts by non-nuclear-weapon states to develop 
     or use unsafeguarded nuclear fuels for purposes of naval 
     propulsion;
       (8) pursue an international open skies arrangement that 
     would authorize the IAEA to operate surveillance aircraft and 
     would facilitate IAEA access to satellite information for 
     safeguards verification purposes;
       (9) develop an institutional means for IAEA member nations 
     to share intelligence material with the IAEA on possible 
     safeguards violations without compromising national security 
     or intelligence sources or methods;

[[Page 766]]

       (10) require any exporter of a sensitive nuclear facility 
     or sensitive nuclear technology to a non-nuclear-weapon state 
     to notify the IAEA prior to export and to require safeguards 
     over that facility or technology, regardless of its 
     destination; and
       (11) seek agreement among the parties to the Treaty to 
     apply IAEA safeguards in perpetuity and to establish new 
     limits on the right to withdraw from the Treaty.

     IAEA, the Congress urges the President to negotiate with 
     other nations and groups of nations, including the IAEA Board 
     of Governors and the Nuclear Suppliers Group, to--
       (1) improve the access of the IAEA within nuclear 
     facilities that are capable of producing, processing, or 
     fabricating special nuclear material suitable for use in a 
     nuclear explosive device;
       (2)(A) facilitate the IAEA's efforts to meet and to 
     maintain its own goals for detecting the diversion of nuclear 
     materials and equipment, giving particular attention to 
     facilities in which there are bulk quantities of plutonium; 
     and
       (B) if it is not technically feasible for the IAEA to meet 
     those detection goals in a particular facility, require the 
     IAEA to declare publicly that it is unable to do so;
       (3) enable the IAEA to issue fines for violations of 
     safeguards procedures, to pay rewards for information on 
     possible safeguards violations, and to establish a ``hot 
     line'' for the reporting of such violations and other illicit 
     uses of weapons-grade nuclear material;
       (4) establish safeguards at facilities engaged in the 
     manufacture of equipment or material that is especially 
     designated or prepared for the processing, use, or production 
     of special fissionable material or, in the case of non-
     nuclear-weapon states, of any nuclear explosive device;
       (5) establish safeguards over nuclear research and 
     development activities and facilities;
       (6) implement special inspections of undeclared nuclear 
     facilities, as provided for under existing safeguards 
     procedures, and seek authority for the IAEA to conduct 
     challenge inspections on demand at suspected nuclear sites;
       (7) expand the scope of safeguards to include tritium, 
     uranium concentrates, and nuclear waste containing special 
     fissionable material, and increase the scope of such 
     safeguards on heavy water;
       (8) revise downward the IAEA's official minimum amounts of 
     nuclear material (``significant quantity'') needed to make a 
     nuclear explosive device and establish these amounts as 
     national rather than facility standards;
       (9) expand the use of full-time resident IAEA inspectors at 
     sensitive fuel cycle facilities;
       (10) promote the use of near real time material accountancy 
     in the conduct of safeguards at facilities that use, produce, 
     or store significant quantities of special fissionable 
     material;
       (11) develop with other IAEA member nations an agreement on 
     procedures to expedite approvals of visa applications by IAEA 
     inspectors;
       (12) provide the IAEA the additional funds, technical 
     assistance, and political support necessary to carry out the

   TITLE IX--COMMISSION ON PROTECTING AND REDUCING GOVERNMENT SECRECY

     SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Protection and Reduction 
     of Government Secrecy Act''.

     SEC. 902. FINDINGS.

        The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) During the Cold War an extensive secrecy system 
     developed which limited public access to information and 
     reduced the ability of the public to participate with full 
     knowledge in the process of governmental decision-making.
       (2) In 1992 alone 6,349,532 documents were classified and 
     approximately three million persons held some form of 
     security clearance.
       (3) The burden of managing more than 6 million newly 
     classified documents every year has led to tremendous 
     administrative expense, reduced communication within the 
     government and within the scientific community, reduced 
     communication between the government and the people of the 
     United States, and the selective and unauthorized public 
     disclosure of classified information.
       (4) It has been estimated that private businesses spend 
     more than $14 billion each year implementing government 
     mandated regulations for protecting classified information.
       (5) If a smaller amount of truly sensitive information were 
     classified the information could be held more securely.
       (6) In 1970 a Task Force organized by the Defense Science 
     Board and headed by Dr. Frederick Seitz concluded that ``more 
     might be gained than lost if our Nation were to adopt--
     unilaterally, if necessary--a policy of complete openness in 
     all areas of information''.
       (7) The procedures for granting security clearances have 
     themselves become an expensive and inefficient part of the 
     secrecy system and should be closely examined.
       (8) A bipartisan study commission specially constituted for 
     the purpose of examining the consequences of the secrecy 
     system will be able to offer comprehensive proposals for 
     reform.

     SEC. 903. PURPOSE.

       It is the purpose of this title to establish for a two-year 
     period a Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government 
     Secrecy--
       (1) to examine the implications of the extensive 
     classification of information and to make recommendations to 
     reduce the volume of information classified and thereby to 
     strengthen the protection of legitimately classified 
     information; and
       (2) to examine and make recommendations concerning current 
     procedures relating to the granting of security clearances.

     SEC. 904. COMPOSITION OF THE COMMISSION.

       (a) Establishment.--To carry out the purpose of this title, 
     there is established a Commission on Protecting and Reducing 
     Government Secrecy (in this title referred to as the 
     ``Commission'').
       (b) Composition.--The Commission shall be composed of 
     twelve members, as follows:
       (1) Four members appointed by the President, of whom two 
     shall be appointed from the executive branch of the 
     Government and two shall be appointed from private life.
       (2) Two members appointed by the Majority Leader of the 
     Senate, of whom one shall be a Member of the Senate and one 
     shall be appointed from private life.

     Senate, of whom one shall be a Member of the Senate and one 
     shall be appointed from private life.
       (4) Two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives, of whom one shall be a Member of the House 
     and one shall be appointed from private life.
       (5) Two members appointed by the Minority Leader of the 
     House of Representatives, of whom one shall be a Member of

     majority of its members. Seven members of the Commission 
     shall constitute a quorum. Any vacancy in the Commission 
     shall not affect its powers

[[Page 767]]

     but shall be filled in the same manner in which the original 
     appointment was made.
       (e) Appointment of Members; Initial Meeting.--(1) It is the

     its first meeting, an investigation into all matters in any 
     way related to any legislation, executive order, regulation, 
     practice, or procedure relating to classified information or 
     granting security clearances; and
       (2) to submit to the Congress a final report containing 
     such recommendations concerning the classification of 
     national security information and the granting of security 
     clearances as the Commission shall determine, including

Para. 42.6  message from the senate

that the Senate had passed the following resolution:

                              S. Res. 206

       Whereas all American Presidents affect history in their own 
     way, but few have made more history or shaped the history of 
     their times more than Richard Nixon;
       Whereas millions of men and women across America and around 
     the world mourn the death of the 37th President of the United 
     States;
       Whereas he will be remembered for his foreign policy 
     accomplishments, and for his dedication to peace;
       Whereas in his first inaugural address, President Nixon 
     said ``The greatest honor that history can bestow is the 
     title peacemaker.'';
       Whereas because of his efforts as President to improve 
     relations with the then-Soviet Union, to bring China out of 
     isolation, and to forge peace in the Middle East, Richard 
     Nixon more than earned the title of peacemaker;
       Whereas he traveled the world, speaking on behalf of 
     democracy, freedom, and peace;
       Whereas he proposed a landmark family assistance program, 
     created the Environmental Protection Agency, expanded the 
     Food Stamp Program, backed the innovative program called 
     ``revenue sharing'', signed the Consumer Product Safety Act, 
     and emphasized strengthening law enforcement;
       Whereas more and more Americans have come to appreciate 
     President Nixon and his accomplishments;
       Whereas they admire him not because he was perfect, but 
     because of his courage and perseverance, his intelligence and 
     his vision, the fact that he loved his family and because he 
     loved his country; and
       Whereas whether it was facing an anti-American mob in 
     Venezuela, or going toe-to-toe with Khrushchev in the famed 
     ``kitchen debate'', Richard Nixon always stood up for 
     America: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate directs that the eulogies offered 
     concerning the life of the Honorable Richard M. Nixon, former 
     President of the United States, former Vice President of the 
     United States, former Representative and former Senator from 
     the State of California be bound and printed as a Senate 
     Document.
       Sec. 2. The Secretary communicate these resolutions to the 
     House of Representatives and transmit a copy thereof to the 
     family of the former President.

  The message also announced that the Senate had passed without 
amendment a joint resolution of the House of the following title:


[[Page 775]]


       H.J. Res. 239. Joint resolution to authorize the President 
     to proclaim September 1994 as ``Classical Music Month''.

  The message also announced that the Senate had passed a joint 
resolution of the following title, in which the concurrence of the 
House is requested:

       S.J. Res. 146. Joint resolution designating May 1, 1994,

Chair, on behalf of the majority leader, appointed Mr. Bingaman as a

     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.

  So the amendment was agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SERRANO, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. OBERSTAR, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 414, 
reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the 
Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  Mr. SOLOMON demanded a separate vote on the amendment on section 213 
at the end of title II (the SOLOMON amendment).
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to the following amendment on which a separate 
vote had been demanded?

       At the end of Title II, add the following new section:

     SEC. 213. DENIAL OF AWARDS OF GRANTS OR CONTRACTS TO 
                   EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WHICH PREVENT MILITARY 
                   RECRUITING.

       (a) Denial of Funds.--The Director may not make a grant or 
     award a contract to any educational institution that has a 
     policy of denying, or which effectively prevents, any of the 
     military services of the United States from obtaining for 
     military recruiting purposes--
       (1) entry to campuses or access to students on campuses; or
       (2) access to directory information pertaining to students; 
     consistent with applicable law.
       (b) Procedures for Determination.--In determining 
     compliance with subsection (a), the Director shall--(1) 
     include on any grant or contract application questions as to 
     whether the educational institution has, by policy or 
     practice, effectively denied such entry or access for 
     recruiting purposes; and (2) inquire of the Department of 
     Defense whether such entry or access has been denied by an 
     institution before awarding such grant or contract to it.
       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--(1) the 
     term ``student'' means an individual enrolled in an 
     educational institution who is 17 years of age or older; and 
     (2) the term ``directory information'' means, with respect to 
     a student, the student's name, address, telephone listing, 
     date and place of birth, level of education, degrees 
     received, and the most recent educational institution 
     enrolled in by the student.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SERRANO, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. SOLOMON demanded a recorded vote on agreeing to said amendment, 
which demand was supported by one-fifth of a quorum, so a recorded vote 
was ordered.

     contravention to subsection (a).
       (2) A grant may not be made, or a contract awarded, 
     pursuant to a provision of law that authorizes or requires 
     the making of the grant, or the awarding of the contract, in 
     a manner that is inconsistent with subsection (a) until--
       (A) the Director submits to Congress a notice in writing of 
     the intent to make the grant or award the contract; and
       (B) a period of 180 days has elapsed after the date on

         TITLE III--ACADEMIC RESEARCH FACILITIES MODERNIZATION

     SEC. 301. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the deficiencies in the condition of buildings and 
     equipment used for the conduct of fundamental research and 
     related education programs at many universities and colleges 
     which are cited in section 202 of the Academic Research 
     Facilities Modernization Act of 1988 are substantially 
     unchanged;
       (2) a national effort, involving the participation of 
     Federal and State governments and the private sector, is 
     required to make progress in improving the state of academic 
     research facilities; and
       (3) because of the scale of the problem, the Federal effort 
     to upgrade academic research facilities must involve a 
     coordinated program among all Federal agencies which sponsor 
     research at academic institutions.

[[Page 784]]

     SEC. 302. FACILITIES MODERNIZATION PLAN.

       The Director of the Office of Science and Technology 
     Policy, through the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, 
     Engineering, and Technology, or any successor entity which 
     assumes its responsibilities, shall develop a plan for a 
     multiagency Federal program to provide financial support to 
     institutions of higher education for the repair, renovation, 
     or replacement of obsolete science and engineering facilities 
     primarily devoted to research. The plan shall--
       (1) include participation by all Federal departments and 
     agencies which provide substantial Federal support for 
     research and development activities at institutions of higher 
     education;
       (2) provide estimates of the level of funding required, by 
     department and agency, and period for which funding should be 
     provided to relieve substantially the backlog of research 
     facilities needs and to ensure that, at the conclusion of the 
     period proposed, the facilities available will be 
     satisfactory to support national research needs;
       (3) take into consideration, for determining the 
     requirements of paragraph (2), ongoing efforts by Federal 
     departments and agencies, State governments, and the private 
     sector to upgrade research facilities;
       (4) be designed to address the needs of the categories of 
     institutions eligible for awards under the Academic Research 
     Facilities Modernization Act of 1988;
       (5) detail administrative procedures and guidelines for the 
     implementation of the modernization program; and
       (6) state procedures and data collection steps which have 
     been implemented to assess the state of academic research 
     facilities and to measure the rate of progress in improving 
     the condition of the facilities.
     Within 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
     Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy shall 
     transmit to the Congress the plan developed under this 
     section.

     SEC. 303. LIMITATION ON OBLIGATION OF UNAUTHORIZED 
                   APPROPRIATIONS.

       No funds appropriated to the Foundation for construction of 
     new facilities or construction necessary for upgrading the 
     capabilities of existing facilities at institutions eligible 
     for awards under the Academic Research Facilities 
     Modernization Act of 1988 shall be obligated unless the funds 
     are awarded in accordance with the requirements of the 
     Academic Research Facilities Modernization Act of 1988 or are 
     specifically authorized for such purpose by this Act or any 
     other Act which is not an appropriations Act.
             TITLE IV--INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC COOPERATION

     SEC. 401. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Debt-for-science exchanges can provide an innovative 
     means to enhance scientific cooperation with countries whose 
     external debt burden prevents them from allocating sufficient 
     resources to their scientific and technological 
     infrastructures.
       (2) Debt-for-science exchanges have been demonstrated to 
     improve the state of scientific research and education in 
     several countries, including Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, 
     Chile, and Mexico.

     SEC. 402. DEBT-FOR-SCIENCE EXCHANGES.

       (a) Debt-For-Science Exchange Grants.--The Director is 
     authorized to make grants to organizations within the United 
     States, including colleges and universities, for the purpose 
     of debt-for-science exchanges. Before making any grant under 
     this section, the Director shall ascertain that--
       (1) funds resulting from the debt-for-science exchange will 
     be expended only for purposes of international cooperative 
     scientific research and development projects;
       (2) the debt-for-science exchange will make funds available 
     for such projects which otherwise would not be available;
       (3) the amount of local currency provided as a result of 
     the debt-for-science exchange will be substantially greater 
     than the United States dollar purchase price of the debt;
       (4) the grantee certifies that the debtor government has 
     accepted the terms of the exchange and that an agreement has 
     been reached to cancel the commercial debt; and
       (5) Federal grants made under this section will be equally 
     matched by non-Federal contributions to purchase debt.
       (b) Investment of Government Assistance.--Grantees or 
     subgrantees of funds provided under this section may retain, 
     without deposit in the Treasury of the United States and 
     without further appropriation by Congress, interest earned on 
     the proceeds of any resulting debt-for-science exchange 
     pending disbursements of such proceeds and interest for 
     approved program purposes, which may include the 
     establishment of an endowment, the income of which is used 
     for such purposes.
       (c) Coordination.--In carrying out subsection (a) the 
     Director shall coordinate with Federal agencies, such as the 
     Agency for International Development, that have expertise in 
     debt exchanges.

     SEC. 403. NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION PARTICIPATION IN 
                   BINATIONAL AND MULTINATIONAL ENDOWED SCIENCE 
                   FOUNDATIONS.

       The Director, in consultation with appropriate officials of 
     the United States and foreign countries, may encourage and 
     facilitate the establishment of binational and multinational 
     endowed science foundations, and may participate in the 
     operation and governance of such foundations, including 
     serving as a member of or designating members to the Boards 
     of Governors, if such foundations--
       (1) have Boards of Governors whose members are chosen to 
     represent participating countries and possess expertise in 
     international scientific cooperation;
       (2) have a structure and operational characteristics 
     determined exclusively by their Boards of Governors, 
     consistent with paragraph (3); and
       (3) are established and governed in accordance with 
     charters which include provisions--
       (A) to ensure that the funding of the endowment is shared 
     equitably among the participating nations, appropriate to 
     their economic resources;
       (B) to protect the endowment's principal from loss of value 
     due to inflation;
       (C) to define the range of scientific and educational 
     activities to be funded;
       (D) to define criteria for application, merit review, and 
     awarding of funds which encompass, at a minimum, 
     consideration of scientific merit, strength of collaborative 
     arrangements, and potential benefit to participants;
       (E) to limit administrative costs to those that are prudent 
     and necessary; and
       (F) to engage an independent auditor to perform an annual 
     organization-wide audit of such foundations, in accordance 
     with generally accepted auditing standards, and to make the 
     results of the audit immediately available to the Director 
     and the Board of Governors.

     SEC. 404. REPORT.

       Within one year after the date of enactment of this Act, 
     the Director shall submit to the Congress a strategic plan 
     for international scientific cooperation activities 
     undertaken by the Foundation which--
       (1) describes and evaluates all activities involving 
     international scientific cooperation currently carried out by 
     the Foundation;
       (2) describes how these activities relate to ongoing and 
     prospective Foundation research and educational activities;
       (3) details research activities and geographic areas where 
     international scientific cooperation has been most effective 
     and where it has been least effective;
       (4) describes plans for future cooperative international 
     scientific projects; and
       (5) assesses the research activities and geographic areas 
     where future international scientific cooperation would be 
     most effective.

[[Page 786]]

erator will yield time to eight Members, four from the Majority Party 
and four from the Minority Party.
  The primary purpose of this debate is to enhance the quality of the 
deliberative process of the House of Representatives, so as to enable 
all Members to be better informed and to participate in subsequent 
debates and decisions on major issues.
  Under the previous orders of February 11 and March 11, 1994, Mr. 
Walker will be recognized to moderate a structured debate in the format 
and sequence that he will describe, which has been mutually established 
by the Majority and Minority Leaders.
  The rules of the House with respect to decorum and proper forms of 
address to the Chair will apply during this debate. The moderator will 
yield time to the participants, and will insist that Members not 
interrupt on other Members' time. As part of the experiment--and not as 
a precedent for other proceedings of the House--the moderator and the 
participants will have the aid of a visual timing device.

                     TITLE II--BUDGETARY PROCEDURES

     SEC. 21. SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS.

       (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) from time to time the United States Government should 
     sell assets; and
       (2) the amounts realized from such asset sales will not 
     recur on an annual basis and do not reduce the demand for 
     credit.
       (b) Budgetary Treatment.--For purposes of points of order 
     under this concurrent resolution and the Congressional Budget 
     and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the amounts realized 
     from sales of assets (other than loan assets) shall not be 
     scored with respect to the level of budget authority, 
     outlays, or revenues.
       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       (1) the term ``sale of an asset'' shall have the same 
     meaning as under section 250(c)(21) of the Balanced Budget 
     and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as amended by the 
     Budget Enforcement Act of 1990); and
       (2) the term shall not include asset sales mandated by law 
     before September 18, 1987, and routine, ongoing asset sales 
     at levels consistent with agency operations in fiscal year 
     1986.
       (d) Sunset.--Subsections (a) through (c) of this section 
     shall expire September 30, 1998.
       (e) Conforming Amendment.--Section 8 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 64 (103d Congress), section 8 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 287 (102d Congress), section 7 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 121 (102d Congress), section 5 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 310 (101st Congress), section 6 of House 
     Concurrent Resolution 106 (101st Congress), section 4 of 
     House Concurrent Resolution 268 (100th Congress), and 
     sections 7 and 8 of House Concurrent Resolution 93 (100th 
     Congress) are repealed.

     SEC. 22. SOCIAL SECURITY FIRE WALL POINT OF ORDER IN THE 
                   SENATE.

       (a) Application of Section 301(i).--Notwithstanding any 
     other rule of the Senate, in the Senate, the point of order 
     established under section 301(i) of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974 shall apply to any concurrent resolution on the 
     budget for any fiscal year (as reported and as amended), 
     amendments thereto, or any conference report thereon.
       (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 10(b) of House 
     Concurrent Resolution 64 (103d Congress) and section 12(b) of 
     House Concurrent Resolution 287 (102d Congress) are repealed.

     SEC. 23. ENFORCING PAY-AS-YOU-GO.

       (a) Purpose.--The Senate declares that it is essential to--
       (1) ensure continued compliance with the deficit reduction 
     embodied in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993; 
     and
       (2) continue the pay-as-you-go enforcement system.
       (b) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--It shall not be in order in the Senate to 
     consider any direct-spending or receipts legislation (as 
     defined in paragraph (3)) that would increase the deficit for 
     any one of the three applicable time periods (as defined in 
     paragraph (2)) as measured pursuant to paragraphs (4) and 
     (5).
       (2) Applicable time periods.--For purposes of this 
     subsection, the term ``applicable time period'' means any one 
     of the three following periods--
       (A) the first fiscal year covered by the most recently 
     adopted concurrent resolution on the budget;
       (B) the period of the 5 fiscal years covered by the most 
     recently adopted concurrent resolution on the budget; or
       (C) the period of the 5 fiscal years following the first 5 
     years covered by the most recently adopted concurrent 
     resolution on the budget.
       (3) Direct-spending or receipts legislation.--For purposes 
     of this subsection, the term ``direct-spending or receipts 
     legislation'' shall--

[[Page 803]]

       (A) include any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, 
     or conference report to which this subsection otherwise 
     applies;
       (B) exclude concurrent resolutions on the budget;
       (C) exclude full funding of, and continuation of, the 
     deposit insurance guarantee commitment in effect on the date 
     of enactment of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990;
       (D) exclude emergency provisions so designated under 
     section 252(e) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985;
       (E) include the estimated amount of savings in direct-
     spending programs applicable to that fiscal year resulting 
     from the prior year's sequestration under the Balanced Budget 
     and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, if any (except for 
     any amounts sequestered as a result of a net deficit increase 
     in the fiscal year immediately preceding the prior fiscal 
     year); and
       (F) except as otherwise provided in this subsection, 
     include all direct-spending legislation as that term is 
     interpreted for purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Act of 1985.
       (4) Baseline.--Estimates prepared pursuant to this section 
     shall use the baseline used for the most recent concurrent 
     resolution on the budget, and for years beyond those covered 
     by that concurrent resolution, shall abide by the 
     requirements of section 257 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, except that references 
     to ``outyears'' in that section shall be deemed to apply to 
     any year (other than the budget year) covered by any one of 
     the time periods defined in paragraph (2) of this subsection.
       (5) Prior surplus available.--If direct-spending or 
     receipts legislation increases the deficit when taken 
     individually (as a bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, 
     or conference report, as the case may be), then it must also 
     increase the deficit when taken together with all direct-
     spending and receipts legislation enacted after the date of 
     enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, 
     in order to violate the prohibition of this subsection.
       (c) Waiver.--This section may be waived or suspended in the 
     Senate only by the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
     Members, duly chosen and sworn.
       (d) Appeals.--Appeals in the Senate from the decisions of 
     the Chair relating to any provision of this section shall be 
     limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and 
     controlled by, the appellant and the manager of the bill or 
     joint resolution, as the case may be. An affirmative vote of 
     three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and 
     sworn, shall be required in the Senate to sustain an appeal 
     of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     this section.
       (e) Determination of Budget Levels.--For purposes of this 
     section, the levels of new budget authority, outlays, and 
     receipts for a fiscal year shall be determined on the basis 
     of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget of the 
     Senate.
       (f) Conforming Amendment.--Section 12 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 64 (103d Congress) is repealed.
       (g) Technical Correction.--Notwithstanding section 275(b) 
     of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
     1985 (as amended by sections 13112(b) and 13208(b)(3) of the 
     Budget Enforcement Act of 1990), the second sentence of 
     section 904(c) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
     (except insofar as it relates to section 313 of that Act) and 
     the final sentence of section 904(d) of that Act (except 
     insofar as it relates to section 313 of that Act) shall 
     continue to have effect as rules of the Senate through (but 
     no later than) September 30, 1998.
       (h) Sunset.--Subsections (a) through (e) of this section 
     shall expire September 30, 1998.

       (2) Point of order in the senate.--(A) Except as provided 
     in subparagraph (B), it shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget for 
     fiscal year 1996, 1997, or 1998 (or amendment or motion on 
     such a resolution) that recommends discretionary spending 
     levels for the first fiscal year covered by that resolution 
     that would exceed the discretionary spending limits as 
     reduced in this section.
       (B) This subsection shall not apply if a declaration of war 
     by the Congress is in effect or if a joint resolution 
     pursuant to section 258 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency

       (b) Waiver.--This section may be waived or suspended in the

     limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and

     concurrent resolution, bill, or joint resolution, as the case 
     may be. An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of 
     the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be required in the 
     Senate to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a 
     point of order raised under this section.

     601(a)(2) of that Act (and those limits as cumulatively

       (B) the allocations to the Committees on Appropriations 
     under sections 302(a) and 602(a) of that Act;
       (C) the appropriate budgetary aggregates in the most 
     recently agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget; and
       (D) the maximum deficit amount under section 601(a)(1) of 
     that Act (and that amount as cumulatively adjusted) for the 
     current fiscal year,
     shall be adjusted to reflect the amounts of additional new 
     budget authority or additional outlays (as defined in 
     paragraph (2)) reported by the Committee on Appropriations in 
     appropriations Acts (or by the committee of conference on 
     such legislation) for the Internal Revenue Service compliance 
     initiative activities in any fiscal year, but not to exceed 
     in any fiscal year $405,000,000 in new budget authority and 
     $405,000,000 in outlays.
       (2) Additional amounts.--As used in this section, the terms 
     ``additional new budget authority'' or ``additional outlays'' 
     shall mean, for any fiscal year, budget authority or outlays 
     (as the case may be) in excess of the amounts requested for 
     that fiscal year for the Internal Revenue Service in the 
     President's Budget for fiscal year 1995.
       (b) Revised Limits, Allocations, and Aggregates.--Upon the 
     reporting of legislation pursuant to subsection (a), and 
     again upon the submission of a conference report on such 
     legislation (if a conference report is submitted), the 
     Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate or the 
     House of Representatives (as the case may be) shall submit to 
     that Chairman's respective House appropriately revised--
       (1) discretionary spending limits under section 601(a)(2) 
     of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (and those limits as 
     cumulatively adjusted) for the current fiscal year and each 
     outyear;
       (2) allocations to the Committees on Appropriations under 
     sections 302(a) and 602(a) of that Act;
       (3) appropriate budgetary aggregates in the most recently 
     agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget; and
       (4) maximum deficit amount under section 601(a)(1) of that 
     Act (and that amount as cumulatively adjusted) for the 
     current fiscal year,

     to carry out this subsection. These revised discretionary 
     spending limits, allocations, and aggregates shall be 
     considered for purposes of congressional enforcement under 
     that Act as the discretionary spending limits, allocations, 
     and aggregates.
       (c) Reporting Revised Suballocations.--The Committees on 
     Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     may report appropriately revised suballocations pursuant to 
     sections 302(b)(1) and 602(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974 to carry out this section.
       (d) Contingencies.--
       (1) The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury 
     Department have certified that they are firmly committed to 
     the principles of privacy, confidentiality, courtesy, and 
     protection of taxpayer rights. To this end, the Internal 
     Revenue Service and the Treasury Department have explicitly 
     committed to initiate and implement educational programs for 
     any new employees hired as a result of the compliance 
     initiative made possible by this section.
       (2) This section shall not apply to any additional new 
     budget authority or additional outlays unless--
       (A) in the Senate, the Chairman of the Budget Committee 
     certifies, based upon information from the Congressional 
     Budget Office, the General Accounting Office, and the 
     Internal Revenue Service (as well as from any other sources 
     he deems relevant), that such budget authority or outlays 
     will not increase the total of the Federal budget deficits 
     over the next five years; and
       (B) any funds made available pursuant to such budget 
     authority or outlays are available only for the purpose of 
     carrying out Internal Revenue Service compliance initiative 
     activities.

                   REPRESENTATIVES.

       (a) In the House of Representatives, if health care reform 
     legislation is reported (including by a committee of 
     conference), budget authority, outlays, and new entitlement 
     authority shall be allocated to committees, and the total 
     levels of budget authority, outlays, and revenues shall be 
     adjusted, to reflect such legislation if the legislation in 
     the form in which it will be considered would not increase 
     the total deficit for the period of fiscal years 1995 through 
     1999.

[[Page 804]]

       (b) Upon reporting of legislation described in subsection 
     (a) and again upon submission of a conference report on such 
     legislation, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget of 
     the House of Representatives shall publish in the 
     Congressional Record revised allocations under section 602(a) 
     of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and revised levels of 
     total budget authority, outlays, and revenues to carry out 
     this section. In the House of Representatives, such 
     allocations and totals shall be considered as the allocations 
     and aggregates under this resolution.

     that committee's jurisdiction, if, to the extent that this 
     concurrent resolution on the budget does not include the 
     costs of that legislation, the enactment of that legislation

     any of the purposes described in subsection (b)(2) within 
     that committee's jurisdiction, if, to the extent that this 
     concurrent resolution on the budget does not include the 
     costs of that legislation, the enactment of that legislation

     SEC. 28. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.

       The Congress adopts the provisions of this title--
       (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such 
     they shall be considered as part of the rules of each House, 
     or of that House to which they specifically apply, and such 
     rules shall supersede other rules only to the extent that 
     they are inconsistent therewith; and
       (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
     either House to change those rules (so far as they relate to 
     that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same 
     extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.
                TITLE III--SENSE OF CONGRESS PROVISIONS

     SEC. 31. CONTROLLING GROWTH OF ENTITLEMENT OR MANDATORY 
                   SPENDING.

       It is the sense of the Congress that legislation should be 
     enacted providing enforceable limits to control the growth of 
     entitlement or mandatory spending.

     SEC. 32. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING ENACTMENT OF CERTAIN 
                   BUDGET PROCESS LEGISLATION.

       It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the 
     following legislation should be enacted:
       (1) Legislation providing enforceable limits to control the 
     growth of entitlement or mandatory spending.
       (2) Amendments to the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 to 
     establish a regular procedure to provide assistance for 
     disasters and other emergencies without adding to the 
     deficit.
       (3) Legislation granting the President expedited rescission 
     authority over appropriations measures, as provided by H.R. 
     1578, as passed the House.

     SEC. 33. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON CONTROLLING NON-SOCIAL 
                   SECURITY MANDATORY SPENDING.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the Congress should--
       (1) after enacting health care reform legislation, enact 
     annual caps to control the growth of entitlement or mandatory 
     spending;
       (2) include within these caps all mandatory spending 
     programs except Social Security, deposit insurance, and net 
     interest;
       (3) provide that these caps shall be set so that programs 
     providing benefits to individuals may grow for inflation, 
     changes in the numbers of beneficiaries, and an additional 
     growth allowance;
       (4) provide that these caps shall be adjusted annually in 
     the President's budget for changes in inflation and the 
     number of beneficiaries since Congress enacted the caps 
     (excluding any changes due to legislation);
       (5) provide an enforcement mechanism in the event that 
     total mandatory spending exceeds the caps; and
       (6) enact caps on tax expenditures similar to those for 
     mandatory spending so as to ensure that reductions in Federal 
     spending for mandatory programs are not achieved by shifting 
     spending to tax expenditures.

     SEC. 34. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE BUDGETARY 
                   ACCOUNTING OF HEALTH CARE REFORM.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the Congress should measure the costs and benefits of 
     all health care reform legislation against a uniform set of 
     economic and technical assumptions;
       (2) before enacting major changes in the health care 
     system, the Congress should have available to it reliable 
     estimates of the costs of competing plans prepared in a 
     comparable manner; and
       (3) the Congress should account for all financial 
     transactions associated with Federal health care reform 
     legislation.

     SEC. 35. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON THE COSTS OF ILLEGAL 
                   IMMIGRATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Federal Government is solely responsible for 
     setting and enforcing national immigration policy;
       (2) the Federal Government has not adequately enforced 
     immigration laws;

[[Page 805]]

       (3) this weak enforcement has imposed financial costs on 
     State and local governments;
       (4) the Federal Government has failed to investigate and 
     prosecute Federal wage and hour violations, thus creating 
     incentives to hire persons illegally in the United States and 
     exacerbating the problem of illegal immigration;
       (5) States must incur costs for incarcerating undocumented 
     persons convicted of State and local crimes, educating 
     undocumented children, providing emergency medical services 
     to undocumented persons, and providing services incidental to 
     admission of refugees under the Refugee Admissions and 
     Resettlement Program; and
       (6) the Federal Government has an obligation to reimburse 
     State and local governments for costs resulting from the 
     costs described in this subsection.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that, in setting forth the budget authority and outlay 
     amounts in this resolution, the Congress intends that funding 
     should be provided to reimburse State and local governments 
     for the costs associated with--
       (1) elementary and secondary education for undocumented 
     children;
       (2) emergency medical assistance to undocumented persons;
       (3) incarceration and parole of criminal aliens; and
       (4) services incidental to admission of refugees under the 
     Refugee Admissions and Resettlement Program.

     SEC. 36. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the baseline budget shows the likely course of Federal 
     revenues and spending if policies remain unchanged;
       (2) baseline budgeting has given rise to the practice of 
     calculating policy changes from an inflated spending level; 
     and
       (3) the baseline concept has been misused to portray 
     policies that would simply slow down the increase in spending 
     as spending reductions.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the President should submit a budget that compares 
     proposed spending levels for the budget year with the current 
     year; and
       (2) the starting point for deliberations on a budget 
     resolution should be the current year.

     SEC. 37. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED FEDERAL 
                   MANDATES.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the Federal Government should not shift the costs of 
     administering Federal programs to State and local 
     governments;
       (2) the Federal Government's share of entitlement programs 
     should not be capped or otherwise decreased without providing 
     States authority to amend their financial or programmatic 
     responsibilities to continue meeting the mandated service; 
     and
       (3) Congress should develop a mechanism to ensure that 
     costs of mandates are considered during agencies' development 
     of regulations and congressional deliberations on 
     legislation.

     SEC. 38. CLOSING OF LOOPHOLES IN FOREIGN TAX PROVISIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) there is evidence suggesting that foreign-controlled 
     corporations doing business in the United States do not pay 
     their fair share of taxes;
       (2) over 70 percent of foreign-controlled corporations 
     doing business in the United States pay no Federal income 
     tax;
       (3) the United States Department of the Treasury has 
     limited its ability to protect the revenue base in the case 
     of cross-border transactions, to the detriment of taxpayers 
     engaged solely in domestic transactions;
       (4) the Department of the Treasury has been using 
     antiquated accounting concepts to deal with sophisticated 
     multinational corporations;
       (5) substantial Federal revenues are lost annually due to 
     the inability of the Internal Revenue Service to enforce the 
     ``arm's length'' transaction rule, along with substantial 
     amounts spent on administration and litigation; and
       (6) the Federal income tax laws provide a financial 
     incentive for domestic taxpayers to operate abroad by 
     granting them deferral of United States taxes on income 
     earned abroad.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that deficit reduction should be achieved, in part, by ending 
     loopholes and enforcement breakdowns that now foster the 
     underpayment of taxes on income from cross-border 
     transactions and that subsidize the flight of domestic 
     businesses and jobs out of the United States, by means 
     including--
       (1) the adoption of a more streamlined and efficient method 
     of enforcing Federal tax laws involving multinational 
     corporations, especially those based abroad, and in 
     particular, the use by the Treasury Department of a formulaic 
     approach in cases in which the current ``arm's length'' 
     transaction rules do not work; and
       (2) a repeal of tax subsidies for domestic businesses that 
     operate abroad in tax havens and then ship their products 
     back into the United States.

     SEC. 39. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING TAX EXPENDITURES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that tax expenditures--
       (1) are growing significantly;
       (2) may have the same effect as direct Federal spending; 
     and
       (3) should be subject to the same level of budgetary review 
     as direct spending.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the Congress should consider targets for the growth in 
     tax expenditures similar to the targets for the growth of 
     mandatory spending;
       (2) any reconciliation instructions included in a budget 
     resolution should specify these targets; and
       (3) such targets should be enforceable separately from any 
     revenue targets included in the reconciliation instructions.

     SEC. 40. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING HEALTH SERVICE 
                   DELIVERY AND WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE INDIAN 
                   HEALTH SERVICE.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) sufficient funding should be provided to the Indian 
     Health Service to ensure that Indian Health Service hospitals 
     and outpatient facilities in existence on the date of 
     enactment of this resolution, and Indian Health Service 
     hospitals and outpatient facilities scheduled to open during 
     fiscal years 1994, 1995, and 1996, are fully staffed with the 
     appropriate number of health care professionals needed to 
     meet the health and medical needs of the American Indians and 
     Alaska Natives who depend on the Indian Health Service for 
     health care; and
       (2) sufficient funding should be provided to the Indian 
     Health Service to ensure that the Indian Health Service is 
     capable of meeting basic public health and safety and 
     sanitation requirements on Indian lands through timely and 
     proper water infrastructure construction and upgrades.

     SEC. 41. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NATIONAL 
                   AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION.

       It is the sense of the Senate that 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 1995 through 1999 in 
     excess of the amounts proposed by the President for such 
     fiscal year.

     SEC. 42. MINIMUM ALLOCATION PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the minimum allocation program was established in 1982 
     to address inequities in the funding formula for Federal-aid 
     highways;
       (2) the minimum allocation program was designed to provide 
     the greatest degree of flexibility practicable to States that 
     receive funding under the formula referred to in paragraph 
     (1) and includes an exemption of the apportionments from the 
     obligation ceiling;
       (3) the minimum allocation program provides additional 
     flexibility by allowing a State a 4-year period during which 
     amounts apportioned to the State may be obligated;
       (4) the budget of the United States Government for fiscal 
     year 1995 submitted by the President to Congress proposes to 
     include minimum allocation apportionments under the 
     obligation ceiling and also proposes to limit the authority 
     of States to obligate apportionments under the minimum 
     allocation program to 67 percent of the amount of the 
     apportionments; and
       (5) States have planned transportation programs on the 
     basis of the provisions of the Intermodal Surface 
     Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, and the amendments 
     made by the Act, relating to minimum allocation that 
     confirmed core commitments to exemption and flexibility.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the minimum allocation program should remain exempt 
     from the obligation ceiling; and
       (2) the flexibility of the minimum allocation program 
     should be an enduring and critical component of the provision 
     of Federal assistance to States for Federal-aid highways.
       (c) Definitions.--As used in this section:
       (1) Federal-aid highways.--The term ``Federal-aid 
     highways'' has the meaning provided the term in section 101 
     of title 23, United States Code.
       (2) Minimum allocation program.--The term ``minimum 
     allocation program'' means the program of allocation of 
     funding to States under section 157 of title 23, United 
     States Code.
       (3) Obligation ceiling.--The term ``obligation ceiling'' 
     means the obligation ceiling under section 1002 of the 
     Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.

     SEC. 43. POLICY IN EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE.

       It is the sense of the Congress that levels of spending set 
     forth in this resolution regarding the International Affairs 
     (150) budget category include an assumption that the United 
     States will oppose, consistent with provisions contained in 
     the Freedom Support Act and the Foreign Assistance 
     Appropriations Act of 1994, attempts by the Russian 
     Federation to intimidate, use military force or engage in 
     economic coercion to establish a sphere of influence over the 
     former republics of the Soviet Union, the Baltics, or Central 
     and Eastern European nations.

     SEC. 44. STAR WARS (BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE).

       It is the sense of the Senate that given the Federal budget 
     deficit, the real reductions in discretionary spending in 
     this resolution, and the existence of many more worthy 
     programs competing for this funding, spending for the Star 
     Wars (Ballistic Missile Defense) must not exceed the fiscal 
     year 1994 appropriated level.

       And the Senate agree to the same.

To the Congress of the United States:
  Pursuant to the provisions of section 504(h) of Public Law 98-164, as 
amended (22 U.S.C. 4413(i)), I transmit herewith the 10th Annual Report 
of the National Endowment for Democracy, which covers fiscal year 1993.
                                                    William J. Clinton. 
  The White House, May 5, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Para. 44.24  message from the president--federal advisory committees

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McNULTY, laid before the House a

[[Page 807]]

message from the President, which was read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:
  As provided by the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (Public 
Law 92-463; 5 U.S.C., App. 2, 6(c)), I am submitting my first Annual 
Report on Federal Advisory Committees for fiscal year 1993 for your 
consideration and action.
  Consistent with my efforts to create a Government that works better 
and costs less, I issued Executive Order No. 12838 on February 10, 1993, 
requiring the executive branch to conduct a comprehensive review of all 
advisory committees. Based upon this assessment, each department and 
agency was directed to reduce by at least one-third the number of 
committees not required by the Congress. I am pleased to advise that 
this initiative has resulted in a net reduction of 284 unproductive 
advisory committees, exceeding our elimination target of 267, by 6 
percent, or 17 committees. In addition, we have identified approximately 
30 unneeded statutory groups.
  While progress has been achieved in assuring that the work of advisory 
committees remains focused on national, rather than special interests, I 
am asking for your support in effecting other needed improvements. The 
Administration will forward to the Congress a legislative proposal to 
terminate 30 advisory committees required by statute, but for which 
compelling needs no longer exist. I urge the Congress to act quickly and 
favorably on this proposal, and I welcome any recommendations of the 
Congress regarding additional groups that may be eliminated through our 
joint efforts to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the 
Government. Toward this end, I hope the Congress will show increased 
restraint in the creation of new statutory committees.
  I have directed the executive branch to exercise continued restraint 
in the creation and management of advisory committees. This will allow 
us to obtain further savings recommended by the Vice President and the 
National Performance Review. Consistent with Executive Order No. 12838, 
the Director of the Office of Management and Budget will continue to 
approve new agency-sponsored committees when necessary and appropriate. 
In addition the General Services Administration, as part of its overall 
responsibilities under the Act, will periodically prepare legislation to 
propose the elimination of committees no longer required by the 
Government.
  We stand ready to work with the Congress to assure the appropriate use 
of advisory committees and to achieve the purposes for which this law 
was enacted.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, May 5, 1994. 

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

  On June 30, 1993, pursuant to the above authorities, as well as the 
United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (``UNPA'') (22 
U.S.C. 287c) I exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order 
No. 12853 on June 30, 1993, to impose additional economic measures with 
respect to Haiti. This latter action was taken, in part, to ensure that 
the economic measures taken by the United States with respect to Haiti 
would conform to United Nations Security Council Resolution 841 (June 
16, 1993).
  On October 18, 1993, pursuant to the IEEPA and the NEA, I again 
exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12872 on 
October 18, 1993, blocking property of various persons with respect to 
Haiti.
  On May 6, 1994, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 
917, calling on Member States to take additional measures to tighten the 
embargo against Haiti. These include, inter alia, a requirement that 
Member States deny permission for take off, landing or overflight to any 
aircraft flying to or from Haiti, other than aircraft on regularly 
scheduled commercial passenger flights. In addition, the Resolution 
strongly urges, but does not mandate, the freezing of funds and 
financial resources of officers of the military in Haiti, including 
police, major participants in the coup d'etat of 1991, and in illegal 
governments since the coup d'etat, those employed by, or acting on 
behalf of, the military, and immediate family members of the foregoing. 
Effective at 11:59 p.m. e.d.t., May 8, 1994, I have taken additional 
steps pursuant to the above statutory authorities to enhance the 
implementation of this international embargo and to conform to United 
Nations Security Council Resolution 917.
  This new Executive order:
  --bans arriving and departing flights and overflights stopping or 
    originating in Haiti, except regularly scheduled commercial 
    passenger flights;
  --blocks the funds and financial resources, subject to the 
    jurisdiction of the United States, of the individuals specified in 
    Resolution 917, identified above;
  --prohibits any transaction that evades or avoids or has the purpose 
    of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the 
    prohibitions of this order; and
  --authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
    Secretary of State, to issue regulations implementing the provisions 
    of the Executive order.
  The new Executive order is necessary to implement certain provisions 
of United Nations Security Council Resolution 917 of May 6, 1994, that 
are to take effect without delay. Further measures, including a 
comprehensive trade embargo with certain humanitarian exceptions, are 
required no later than May 21, 1994. I am considering additional 
measures to give full effect to these and other provisions of that 
Resolution. The measures we are imposing and the United Nations Security 
Council Resolution adopted on May 6, 1994, reflect the determination of 
the United States, acting in concert with the international community, 
to end the assault on democracy and human dignity in Haiti.
  I am providing this notice to the Congress pursuant to section 204(b) 
of the IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)) and section 301 of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 
1631). I am enclosing a copy of the Executive order that I have issued.

Para. 46.13  message from the president--aeronautics and space activities

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SCOTT, 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 1993, as required under section 
206 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended (42 
U.S.C. 2476). Aeronautics and space activities involve 14 contributing 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government, as this report 
reflects, and the results of their ongoing research and development 
affect the Nation as a whole in a variety of ways.
  Fiscal year 1993 brought numerous important changes and developments 
in U.S. aeronautics and space efforts. It included 7 Space Shuttle 
missions, 14 Government launches of Expendable Launch Vehicles [ELVs], 
and 4 commercial launches from Government facilities. Highlights of the 
Shuttle missions included the first in a series of flights of the U.S. 
Microgravity Payload that contained scientific and materials-processing 
experiments to be carried out in an environment of reduced gravity; the 
deployment of the Laser Geodynamic Satellite (a joint venture between 
the United States and Italy); the deployment of a Tracking and Data 
Relay Satellite; and, the second Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications 
and Science mission to study the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, 
ozone layer, and elements thought to be the cause of ozone depletion. 
The ELV missions carried a variety of payloads ranging from Global 
Positioning System satellites to those with classified missions.
  I also requested that a redesign of the Space Station be undertaken to 
reduce costs while retaining science-user capability and maintaining the 
program's international commitments. To this end, the new Space Station 
is based on a modular concept and will be built in stages. However, the 
new design draws heavily on the previous Space Station 
Freedom investment by incorporating most of its hardware and systems. 
Also, ways are being studied to increase the Russian participation in 
the Space Station.

  The United States and Russia signed a Space Cooperation Agreement 
that called for a Russian cosmonaut to participate in a U.S. Space 
Shuttle mission and for the Space Shuttle to make at least one 
rendezvous with the Mir. On September 2, 1993, Vice President Albert 
Gore, Jr., and Russian Prime Minister Victor Chernomyrdin signed a 
series of joint statements on cooperation in space, environmental 
observations/space science, commercial space launches, missile export 
controls, and aeronautical science.
  In aeronautics, efforts included the development of new technologies 
to improve performance, reduce costs, increase safety, and reduce 
engine noise. For example, engineers have been working to produce a new 
generation of environmentally compatible, economic aircraft that will 
lay the technological foundation for a next generation of aircraft that 
are superior to the products of other nations. Progress also contin- 

[[Page 813]]

ued on programs to increase airport capacity while at the same time 
improving flight safety.
  In the Earth sciences, a variety of programs across several agencies 
sought better understanding of global change and enhancement of the 
environment. While scientists discovered in late 1992 and early 1993, 
for instance, that global levels of protective ozone reached the lowest 
concentrations ever observed, they also could foresee an end to the 
decline in the ozone layer. Reduced use of ozone-destroying 
chlorofluorocarbons would allow ozone quantities to increase again 
about the year 2000 and gradually return to ``normal.''
  Thus, fiscal year 1993 was a successful one for the U.S. aeronautics 
and space programs. Efforts in both areas have contributed to advancing 
the Nation's scientific and technical knowledge and furthering an 
improved quality of life on Earth through greater knowledge, a more 
competitive economy, and a healthier environment.
                                                  William J. Clinton.

               TITLE III--BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

     SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Economic Growth and 
     Technology Commercialization Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 302. FINDINGS, PURPOSES, AND DEFINITIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress hereby finds the following:
       (1) Through its support and funding of research and 
     development in this Nation's Federal agencies, laboratories, 
     and educational institutions, the Federal Government has 
     fostered the creation of thousands of technologies, 
     processes, and other proprietary rights owned, or held in 
     whole or part, by the Federal Government.
       (2) If commercialized, these technologies, processes, and 
     other proprietary rights owned, or held in whole or part, by 
     the Federal Government hold the potential to be a significant 
     tool to foster economic growth and to create significant 
     numbers of new jobs at good wages for American workers.
       (3) Throughout the Federal Government, there is no single 
     inventory or source of information on technologies, 
     processes, and other proprietary rights owned, or held in 
     whole or part, by the Federal Government.
       (4) Information on technologies, processes, and other 
     proprietary rights owned, or held in whole or part, by the 
     Federal Government is not standardized in form or content, is 
     separately maintained by numerous Federal agencies and 
     departments, and is not easily accessible by the public.
       (5) Businesses and entrepreneurs in areas in need of 
     economic growth and revitalization are largely unaware of the 
     existence of these technologies, processes, and other 
     proprietary rights and largely unaware of the possibilities 
     for obtaining the rights to these technologies, processes, 
     and other proprietary rights for the purpose of 
     commercialization.
       (6) It is in the economic interest of the United States to 
     facilitate the private sector commercialization of 
     technologies, processes, and other proprietary rights by

     objectives of this Act, rapidly changing national and global 
     economics over the past decade have created new problems and 
     challenges for rural areas throughout the Nation and 
     especially for the Appalachian region. Thus, the problems of 
     the region are not only to provide the infrastructure 
     necessary to economic and human resource development, to 
     develop its industry, and to generate a diversified regional 
     economy, but to make the region's industrial and commercial 
     resources more competitive in national and world markets. It 
     is, therefore, also the purpose of this Act to provide a 
     framework for coordinating Federal, State, and local 
     initiatives to respond to the economic competitive challenge 
     through improving the skills of the region's manpower, 
     adapting and applying new technologies for the region's 
     businesses, and improving the access of the region's 
     businesses to the technical and financial resources necessary 
     to their development while continuing to address the need to 
     provide basic services for the more disadvantaged areas of 
     the region so as to provide a fairer opportunity for the 
     people of the region to share the quality of life generally 
     enjoyed by citizens across this Nation.''.

       (1) Through its support and funding of research and

     fostered the creation of thousands of technologies, 
     processes, and other proprietary rights owned, or held in 
     whole or part, by the Federal Government.
       (2) If commercialized, these technologies, processes, and 
     other proprietary rights owned, or held in whole or part, by 
     the Federal Government hold the potential to be a significant 
     tool to foster economic growth and to create significant 
     numbers of new jobs at good wages for American workers.
       (3) Throughout the Federal Government, there is no single 
     inventory or source of information on technologies, 
     processes, and other proprietary rights owned, or held in 
     whole or part, by the Federal Government.
       (4) Information on technologies, processes, and other 
     proprietary rights owned, or held in whole or part, by the

       (7) Greater effectiveness may be achieved through the 
     utilization of the private sector corporate structure and

     can reasonably be expected by the Federal Government 
     performing this function.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
       (1) To provide assistance to private-sector United States 
     businesses, located in areas in need of economic 
     stabilization and revitalization, to commercialize 
     technologies, processes, and other proprietary rights owned, 
     or held in whole or part, by the Federal Government.
       (2) To create new employment opportunities by facilitating 
     the commercialization of technologies, processes, and other 
     proprietary rights by United States businesses and 
     entrepreneurs in areas in need of economic growth and 
     revitalization.
       (3) To develop a single, comprehensive data base of 
     information on technologies, processes, and other proprietary 
     rights owned, or held in whole or part, by the Federal 
     Government, which is standardized and easily accessible.
       (4) To heighten the awareness of United States businesses

     not otherwise available to Indian tribes, rural communities, 
     and other low-income communities to carry out Head Start 
     programs, that the lack of suitable facilities will inhibit 
     the operation of such programs, and that construction of such 
     facilities is more cost effective than purchase of available 
     facilities or renovation, the Secretary, in the discretion of 
     the Secretary, may authorize the use of financial assistance 
     under this subchapter to make payments for capital 
     expenditures related to facilities that will be used to carry

     subcontractors in the construction or renovation of 
     facilities to be used to carry out Head Start programs shall 
     be paid wages at not less than those prevailing on similar

     of Labor in accordance with the Act of March 3, 1931, as 
     amended (40 U.S.C. 276a et seq., commonly known as the 
     `Davis-Bacon Act').

     Programs Branch of the Head Start Bureau of the

     give the same preference to individuals who are members of an 
     Indian tribe as the Secretary gives to a disabled veteran, as 
     defined in section 2108(3)(C) of title 5, United States Code. 
     The Secretary shall take such additional actions as may be

     SEC. 313. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING APPROPRIATIONS FOR 
                   LIHEAP.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Seventy-seven percent of the over 25 million households 
     that were eligible for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance 
     Program (hereinafter referred to as ``LIHEAP'') in fiscal 
     year 1992 did not receive assistance due to a lack of funds.
       (2) Recent economic distress has caused significant 
     unemployment, which has resulted in a greater need for energy 
     assistance than ever before.
       (3) More than 66 percent of LIHEAP household recipients 
     have an annual income that is below the poverty level.
       (4) Forty-three percent of all LIHEAP eligible households 
     include children.
       (5) LIHEAP eligible households with children spend 
     approximately 16 percent of their annual incomes on home 
     energy costs, which is more than 4 times greater than that 
     paid by the average household in the United States, and far 
     beyond their means.
       (6) Approximately 40 percent of LIHEAP household recipients 
     are comprised of elderly or disabled persons.
       (7) Congress appropriated $1,475,000,000 for LIHEAP for 
     fiscal year 1995.
       (8) The Department of Energy predicts that the costs of 
     residential fuels will increase at a pace greater than 
     inflation.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the maintenance of LIHEAP should be a high priority in 
     order to enable low-income households, especially the working 
     poor, the disabled, and the low-income elderly, who all 
     depend on LIHEAP, to meet their energy costs and needs;
       (2) all appropriations made for LIHEAP for fiscal year 1995 
     should be expended; and
       (3) expenditures for LIHEAP for fiscal year 1996 should 
     ensure the provision of services at the level provided in 
     fiscal year 1995.

     SEC. 314. EFFECTIVE DATE.

Para. 50.15  communication from the clerk--messages from the president

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

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                     Washington, DC, May 17, 1994.
     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 two sealed 
     envelopes received from the White House as follows:
       (1) One sealed envelope received at 2:07 p.m. on Monday, 
     May 16, 1994 and said to contain a message from the President 
     wherein he transmits a 6-month periodic report on the 
     National Emergency with respect to Iran.
       (2) One sealed envelope received at 2:07 p.m. on Monday, 
     May 16, 1994 and said to contain a message from the President 
     whereby he transmits a report required under the Nuclear Non-
     Proliferation Act of 1978.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              DONNALD K. ANDERSON,
                                                            Clerk.

Para. 50.16  national emergency with respect to iran

  The Clerk then read the first 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, 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 March 31, 1994. My last report, dated November 10, 
1993, covered events through September 30, 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. However, a substantial majority of 
such applications are determined to be ineligible for licensing and, 
consequently, are denied.
  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. The 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 my last report, 
the Tribunal has rendered 4 awards, bringing the total number to 551. Of 
this total, 371 have been awards in favor of American claimants. Two 
hundred twenty-three of these were awards on agreed terms, authorizing 
and approving payment of settlements negotiated by the parties, and 148 
were decisions adjudicated on the merits. The Tribunal has issued 37 
decisions dismissing claims on the merits and 84 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, 1994, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York 
reported the value of awards to successful American claimants from the 
Security Account held by the NV Settlement Bank stood at 
$2,344,330,685.87.
  The Security Account has fallen below the required balance of $500 
million almost 50 times. Until October 1992, Iran periodically 
replenished the account, as required by the Algiers Accords. This was 
accomplished, first, by transfers from the separate account held by the 
NV Settlement Bank in which interest on the Security Account is 
deposited. The aggregate amount transferred from the Interest Account to 
the Security Account was $874,472,986.47. Iran then 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 March 31, 1994, the total 
amount in the Security Account was $212,049,484.05, the total amount in 
the Interest Account was $15,548,176.62.
  The United States continues to pursue Case A/28, filed last year, to 
require Iran to meet its financial obligations under the Algiers 
Accords.
  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 November 1993, the United States filed its 
Consolidated Final Response in A/15(IV) and A/24, a claim brought by 
Iran for the alleged failure of the United States to terminate all 
litigation against Iran as required by the Algiers

[[Page 859]]

Accord. In December, the United States also filed its Statement of 
Defense in A/27, a claim brought by Iran for the alleged failure of the 
United States to enforce a Tribunal award in Iran's favor against a 
U.S. national. Because of this alleged failure, Iran requested that the 
United States Government be required to pay Iran for all the 
outstanding awards against U.S. nations in favor of Iran.
  5. As reported in November 1992, Jose Maria Ruda, President of the 
Tribunal, tendered his resignation on October 2, 1992. On December 4, 
1993, Professor Krysztof Skubiszewski was appointed Chairman of Chamber 
Two of the Tribunal, filling the vacancy left by Judge Ruda's 
departure. On February 16, 1994, Professor Skubiszewski also was 
appointed the President of the Tribunal. Before joining the tribunal 
Professor Skubiszewski served as Minister of Foreign Affairs in Poland 
from 1989 to 1993. He joined the ``Solidarity'' movement there in 1980, 
and served on several councils before becoming Minister of Foreign 
Affairs. In addition to his political experience, Professor 
Skubiszewski has had a long and distinguished academic career in the 
field of international law. He is currently on leave from the Institute 
of Law, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, and has lectured at 
universities throughout Europe. He is also the author of a number of 
international law publications. In announcing the appointment, the 
Tribunal's Appointing Authority, Charles M.J.A. Moons, emphasized 
Professor Skubiszewski's ``extensive experience in the management of 
state affairs and the conduct of international relations,'' in addition 
to his ``scholarly renown.''
  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. 
As of March 31, 1994, the FCSC has issued decisions in 2,538 claims, 
for total awards of more than $40 million. The FCSC expects to complete 
its adjudication of the remaining claims this year.
  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 
combating international terrorism. I shall continue to exercise the 
powers at my disposal to deal with these problems and will continue to 
report periodically to 
the Congress on significant developments.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, May 14, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-256).

Para. 50.17  nuclear proliferaton

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

To The Congress of the United States:
  As required under section 601(a) of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act 
of 1978 (Public Law 95-242; 22 U.S.C. 3281(a)), I am transmitting a 
report on the activities of United States Government departments and 
agencies relating to the prevention of nuclear proliferation. It covers 
activities between January 1, 1993, and December 31, 1993.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, May 16, 1994. 

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Para. 50.18  montana wilderness

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, pursuant to House Resolution 423 
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. 2473) to designate certain National Forest lands in the 
State of Montana as wilderness, to release other National Forest Lands

  Ms. WOOLSEY, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, resumed the

  After some further time,

Para. 50.21  recorded vote

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

       At the end of the bill, add the following:

     SEC. 13. PROHIBITION ON EVEN-AGE MANAGEMENT.

       (a) Conservation of Native Biodiversity.--The Secretary 
     shall conserve native biodiversity to the extent possible in 
     each stand that is released to multiple use under section 
     11(b) that is managed or operated for timber purposes, 
     throughout each forested area, and shall provide for the 
     conservation or restoration of native biodiversity except 
     during the extraction stage of authorized mineral development 
     or during authorized construction projects.
       (b) Restriction on Use of Certain Logging Practices.--(1) 
     In each stand that is released to multiple use under section 
     11(b) and that is managed or operated for timber purposes 
     throughout each forested area, the forest plan shall prohibit 
     any even-age logging and any even-age management after one 
     year after the date of enactment of this Act.
       (2) On each site already under even-age management, the 
     Secretary shall (A) prescribe a shift to selection management 
     within one year, or (B) cease managing for timber purposes 
     and actively restore the native biodiversity, or permit each 
     site to regain its native biodiversity.
       (3) For the purposes of this section:
       (A) The term ``native biodiversity'' means the full range 
     of variety and variability within and among living organisms 
     and the ecological complexes in which they would have 
     occurred in the absence of significant human impact, and 
     encompasses diversity, within a species (genetic), within a 
     community of species (within-community), between communities 
     of species (between-communities), within a total area such as 
     a watershed (total area), along a plane from ground to sky 
     (vertical), and along the plane of the earth-surface 
     (horizontal). Vertical and horizontal diversity apply to all 
     the other aspects of diversity.
       (B) The terms ``conserve'' and ``conservation'' refer to 
     protective measures for maintaining existing native 
     biological diversity and active measures for restoring 
     diversity through management efforts, in order to protect, 
     restore, and enhance as much of the variety of species and 
     communities as possible in abundances and distributions that 
     provide for their continued existence and normal functioning, 
     including the viability of populations throughout their 
     natural geographic distributions.
       (C) The term ``within-community diversity'' means the 
     distinctive assemblages of species and ecological processes 
     that occur in different physical settings of the biosphere 
     and distinct parts of the world.
       (D) The term ``genetic diversity'' means the differences in 
     genetic composition within and among populations of a given 
     species.
       (E) The term ``species diversity'' means the richness and 
     variety of native species in a particular location of the 
     world.
       (F) The term ``group selection'' means a form of selection 
     management that emphasizes the periodic removal of trees, 
     including mature, undesirable, and cull trees in small 
     groups, where they occur that way, with a result of (i) 
     creating openings not to exceed in width in any direction the 
     height of the tallest tree standing within 10 feet of the 
     edge of the group cut, and (ii) maintaining different age 
     groups in a given stand. In no event will more than 30 
     percent of a stand be felled within 30 years.
       (G) The term ``stand'' means a forest community with enough 
     identity by location, topography, or dominant species to be 
     managed as a unit, not to exceed 100 acres.
       (H) The term ``clearcutting'' means the logging of the 
     commercial trees in a patch or stand in a short period of 
     time.
       (I) The term ``even-age management'' means the growing of 
     commercial timber so that all trees in a patch or stand are 
     generally within 10 years of the same age. Except for 
     designated leave trees, or clumps of trees, the patch or 
     stand is logged, completely in any acre within a period of 30 
     years, by clearcutting, salvage logging, seed-tree cutting or 
     shelterwood cutting, or any system other than selection 
     management.
       (J) The term ``salvage logging'' means the felling or 
     further damaging, within any 30-year period, of a greater 
     basal area than 30 square feet per acre of dead, damaged, or 
     other trees, or any combination of such trees.
       (K) The term ``seed-tree cut'' means a logging operation 
     that leaves one or more seed trees, generally 6 to 10 per 
     acre.
       (L) The term ``selection management'' means the application 
     of logging and other actions needed to maintain continuous 
     high forest cover where such cover naturally occurs, 
     recurring natural regeneration of all native species on the 
     site, and the orderly growth and development of trees through 
     a range of diameter or age classes to provide a sustained 
     yield of forest products. Cutting methods that develop and 
     maintain selection stands are individual-tree and group 
     selection. A goal of selection is improvement of quality by 
     continuously harvesting trees less likely to contribute to 
     the long-range health of the stand.
       (M) The term ``shelterwood cut'' means an even-aged 
     silvicultural regeneration method under which a minority of 
     the mature stand is retained as a seed source or protection 
     during the regeneration period. The standing mature trees, 
     usually 10 to 20 per acre, are later removed in one or more 
     cuttings.
       (N) The term ``timber purposes'' shall include the use, 
     sale, lease, or distribution of trees, or the felling of 
     trees or portions of trees except to create land space for a 
     structure or other use.
       (4) On lands released under section 11(b), no roads shall 
     be constructed or reconstructed in any roadless area, as 
     defined in the second United States Department of Agriculture 
     forest Service Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II, 
     1978) or in a land and resource management plan subject to 
     this section.

  So the amendment was not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McDERMOTT, assumed the Chair.
  When Ms. WOOLSEY, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 423, reported 
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be referred to as ``The Montana Wilderness Act 
     of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) Many areas of undeveloped National Forest System lands 
     in the State of Montana possess outstanding natural 
     characteristics which give them high value as wilderness and 
     will, if properly preserved, contribute as an enduring 
     resource of wild land for the benefit of the American people.
       (2) Preserving areas in their natural roadless condition is 
     a vital component of protecting the biodiversity of lands in 
     Montana and securing and maintaining habitat for threatened 
     and endangered species.
       (3) The existing Department of Agriculture Land and 
     Resource Management Plans for Forest System lands in the 
     State of Montana have identified areas which, on the basis of 
     their land form, ecosystem, associated wildlife, and location 
     will help to fulfill the National Forest System's share of a 
     quality National Wilderness Preservation System.
       (4) Review and evaluation of roadless and undeveloped lands 
     in the National Forest System in Montana have also identified 
     those areas which should be specially managed, deserve 
     further study, or which should be available for multiple uses 
     other than wilderness, subject to the Forest Service's land 
     management planning process and the provisions of this Act.
       (5) Montanans and those interested in Montana's wildlands 
     have been fully involved in the formulation of this 
     wilderness proposal. That the wilderness designations 
     recommended in this legislation have been developed with the 
     support of Montana wilderness advocates and is therefore the 
     product of years of negotiations.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
       (1) designate certain National Forest System lands in the 
     State of Montana as components of the National Wilderness 
     Preservation System, in furtherance of the purposes of the 
     Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), in order to preserve 
     the wilderness character of the land and the health and 
     diversity of native populations of fish, wildlife and plants 
     and to protect watersheds and wildlife habitat, preserve 
     scenic and historic resources, and promote scientific 
     research, primitive recreation, solitude, and physical and 
     mental challenge; and
       (2) ensure that certain other National Forest System lands 
     in the State of Montana will be made available for uses other 
     than wilderness in accordance with applicable national forest 
     laws, planning procedures and the provisions of this Act.

     SEC. 3. WILDERNESS DESIGNATIONS.

       (a) Designation.--In furtherance of the purposes of the 
     Wilderness Act of 1964, the following lands in the State of 
     Montana are designated as wilderness and, therefore, as 
     components of the National Wilderness Preservation System:
       (1) Certain lands in the Beaverhead, Bitterroot, and 
     Deerlodge National Forests, which comprise approximately 
     31,600 acres, as generally depicted on a map entitled 
     ``Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Additions--Proposed'' (North 
     Big Hole, Storm Lake, Upper East Fork), dated March 1994, and 
     which are hereby incorporated in and shall be deemed to be a 
     part of the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness.
       (2) Certain lands in the Beaverhead National Forest, which 
     comprise approximately 33,000 acres, as generally depicted on 
     a map entitled ``Italian Peaks Wilderness--Proposed'', dated 
     March 1994, and which shall be known as the Italian Peaks 
     Unit of the Howard Zahnizer Great Divide Wilderness.
       (3) Certain lands in the Beaverhead National Forest, which 
     comprise approximately 84,920 acres, as generally depicted on 
     a map entitled ``East Pioneer Wilderness--Proposed'', dated 
     March 1994, and which shall be known as the East Pioneer 
     Wilderness.
       (4) Certain lands in the Beaverhead National Forest, 
     Montana, comprising approximately 40,000 acres, as generally 
     depicted on a map entitled ``West Big Hole Wilderness--
     Proposed'', dated March 1994, and which shall be known as the 
     West Big Hole Unit of the Howard Zahnizer Great Divide 
     Wilderness.
       (5) Certain lands in the Bitterroot, Deerlodge, and Lolo 
     National Forests, which comprise approximately 76,600 acres, 
     as generally depicted on a map entitled ``Stony Mountain 
     Wilderness--Proposed'', dated March 1994, and which shall be 
     known as the Stony Mountain Wilderness. The provisions of 
     section 4 of this Act shall not apply to the portion of such

     SEC. 4. WATER.

       (a) Findings, Purposes, and Definitions.--(1) The Congress 
     finds that--
       (A) the lands designated as wilderness by this Act are 
     located at the headwaters of the streams and rivers on those 
     lands, with no actual or proposed water resource facilities 
     located upstream from such lands and no opportunities for 
     diversion, storage, or other uses of water occurring outside 
     such lands that would adversely affect the wilderness values 
     of such lands;
       (B) the lands designated as wilderness by this Act are not 
     suitable for use for development of new water resource 
     facilities, or for the expansion of existing water resource 
     facilities; and
       (C) therefore, it is possible to provide for proper 
     management and protection of the water-related wilderness 
     values of such lands in ways different from those utilized in 
     other legislation designating as wilderness lands not sharing 
     the attributes of the lands designated as wilderness by this 
     Act.
       (2) The purpose of this section is to protect the water-
     related wilderness values of the lands designated as 
     wilderness by this Act by means other than those based on a 
     Federal reserved water right.
       (3) As used in this section--
       (A) the term ``water resource facility'' means irrigation 
     and pumping facilities, res- 

[[Page 863]]

     ervoirs, water conservation works, aqueducts, canals, 
     ditches, pipelines, wells, hydropower projects, and 
     transmission and other ancillary facilities, and other water 
     diversion, storage, and carriage structures; and
       (B) the term ``historic'', used with reference to rates of 
     flow, quantities of use, or timing or frequency of use of 
     water, means the pattern of actual average annual use or 
     operation of a facility prior to the date of enactment of 
     this Act.
       (b) Restriction on Claims and Clarification of Effect.--(1) 
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no court or 
     agency shall have any jurisdiction under any Act of Congress 
     (including the ``McCarran Amendment'', 43 U.S.C. 666) to 
     consider any claim on behalf of the United States asserted by 
     the Secretary or by any other person to or for water or water 
     rights in the State of Montana based on any construction of 
     any portion of this Act, or the designation of any lands as 
     wilderness by this Act, as constituting an express or implied 
     reservation of water or water rights.
       (2)(A) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as a 
     creation, recognition, disclaimer, relinquishment, or 
     reduction of any water rights of the United States in the 
     State of Montana existing before the date of enactment of 
     this Act.
       (B) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as constituting 
     an interpretation of any other Act or any designation made by 
     or pursuant thereto.
       (C) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as establishing 
     a precedent with regard to any future wilderness 
     designations.
       (c) Prohibition of New or Expanded Projects.--(1) 
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, on and after the 
     date of enactment of this Act neither the President nor any 
     other officer, employee, or agent of the United States shall 
     fund, assist, authorize, or issue a license or permit for, or 
     exempt from licensing or permitting--
       (A) the development of any new water resource facility 
     within the lands designated as wilderness or for wilderness 
     study by this Act; or
       (B) the enlargement of a water resource facility or the 
     expansion of the historic rate of diversion, quantity of use, 
     or timing or frequency of use of a water resource facility 
     that is located within or that would adversely affect the 
     wilderness values of lands designated as wilderness or for 
     wilderness study by this Act.
       (2) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section, 
     nothing in this Act shall be construed to affect or limit 
     operation, maintenance, repair, modification, or replacement 
     without enlargement of water resource facilities in existence 
     on the date of enactment of this Act located within the 
     boundaries of the lands designated as wilderness or for 
     wilderness study by this Act.
       (d) Access and Operation.--(1) Subject to the provisions of 
     this subsection, the Secretary shall allow reasonable access 
     to water resource facilities in existence on the date of 
     enactment of this Act located within lands designated as 
     wilderness or for wilderness study by this Act, including 
     motorized access where necessary and customarily employed on 
     routes existing as of the date of enactment of this Act.
       (2) Subject to the provisions of this subsection, the 
     Secretary, to the extent required for the continued exercise 
     of any valid water rights associated with such facilities, 
     shall allow the present diversion, carriage, and storage 
     capacity of water resource facilities existing on the date of 
     enactment of this Act located within lands designated as 
     wilderness or for wilderness study by this Act, and access 
     routes to such facilities existing and customarily employed 
     as of such date, to be operated, maintained, repaired, and 
     replaced as necessary to maintain the present function, 
     design, and serviceable operation of such facilities and 
     routes, so long as such activities have no greater adverse 
     impacts on wilderness values than as of the date of enactment 
     of this Act.
       (3) Water resource facilities, and access routes serving 
     such facilities, existing on the date of enactment of this 
     Act shall be maintained and repaired when and to the extent 
     necessary to prevent increased adverse impacts on wilderness 
     values.
       (4) There shall be no enlargement in the historic rate of 
     diversion, quantity of use, or timing or frequency of use of 
     water resource facilities existing on the date of enactment 
     of this Act located within lands designated as wilderness or 
     for wilderness study by this Act.
       (e) Monitoring and Implementation.--(1) The Secretary of 
     Agriculture shall monitor the operation of and access to 
     water resource facilities within the boundaries of the lands 
     designated as wilderness and for wilderness study by this 
     Act, and shall take all steps that the Secretary finds 
     necessary or desirable in order to further the protection of 
     the resources and values of such lands and to implement the 
     provisions of this section, including, to the extent 
     consistent with this Act, the utilization of any procedures 
     available under Federal or State law, including laws of the 
     State of Montana concerning either the utilization of water 
     or the establishment, adjudication, and administration of 
     water rights.
       (2) In implementing subsection (d)(3), the Secretary may 
     require the owners of water resource facilities or parties 
     entitled to use access routes to perform necessary 
     maintenance or repairs, and may require the relocation or 
     removal of such facilities or such routes if such necessary 
     maintenance or repairs are not performed or not feasible or 
     such facilities or routes are no longer in use.
       (f) Application to Other Areas.--Solely for purposes of 
     implementation of subsections (c), (d), and (e) of this 
     section, lands in Montana which as of the date of enactment 
     of this Act are managed as wilderness study areas pursuant to 
     Public Law 95-150 shall be deemed to have been designated for 
     wilderness study by this Act, and such lands shall be managed 
     pursuant to the provisions of such subsections in addition to

     SEC. 11. WILDERNESS REVIEW.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Department of Agriculture has studied the 
     suitability of roadless areas for inclusion in the National 
     Wilderness Preservation System; and
       (2) the Congress has made its own review and examination of 
     National Forest System roadless areas in the State of Montana 
     and the environmental impacts associated with nonwilderness 
     management of such areas.
       (b) Release.--Those National Forest System lands in the 
     State of Montana which were not designated as wilderness, 
     special management, national recreation, or wilderness study 
     areas by this Act or Public Law 95-150 shall be managed for 
     multiple use in accordance with land and resource management 
     plans developed pursuant to section 6 of the Forest and 
     Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974, as 
     amended by the National Forest Management Act of 1976, and 
     other applicable law, and those areas need not be managed for 
     the purpose of protecting their suitability for wilderness 
     designation prior to or during revision of land and resource 
     management plans.
       (c) Plan Revisions.--In the event that revised land 
     management plans in the State of Montana are implemented 
     pursuant to section 6 of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable 
     Resources Planning Act of 1974, as amended by the National 
     Forest Management Act of 1976, and other applicable law, 
     areas not recommended for wilderness designation, need not be 
     managed for the purpose of protecting their suitability for 
     wilderness designation prior to or during revision of such 
     plans, and areas recommended for wilderness designation shall 
     be managed for the purpose of protecting their suitability 
     for wilderness designation.
       (d) Further Review.--Unless expressly authorized by 
     Congress, the Department of Agriculture shall not conduct any 
     further statewide roadless area review and evaluation of 
     National Forest System lands in the State of Montana for the 
     purpose of determining their suitability for inclusion in the 
     National Wilderness Preservation System.
       (e) Previous Plans.--Except as specifically provided in 
     section 3, 5, 6, and 7 of this Act and in Public Law 95-150, 
     with respect to the National Forest System lands in the State 
     of Montana which were reviewed by the Department of 
     Agriculture under Public Law 94-557, the unit plans that were 
     in effect prior to completion of RARE II, the 1978 Forest 
     Plan for the Beaverhead National Forest, that such reviews 
     shall be deemed an adequate consideration of the suitability 
     of such lands for inclusion in the National Wilderness 
     Preservation System, and the Department of Agriculture shall 
     not be required to review the wilderness option prior to the 
     revision of the land and resource management plans.
       (f) Revisions.--As used in this section, and as provided in 
     section 6 of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources 
     Planning Act, as amended by the National Foreign Management 
     Act, the term ``revision'' shall not include an amendment to 
     a land and resource management plan.
       (g) Size.--The provisions of this section also shall apply 
     to those National Forest System roadless lands in the State 
     of Montana which are less than 5,000 acres in size.

Para. 50.24  clerk to correct engrossment

  On motion of Mr. VENTO, by unanimous consent,
  Ordered, That in the engrossment of the foregoing bill, the Clerk be 
authorized to correct section numbers, punctuation, cross references, 
and to make other technical corrections.

Para. 50.25  providing for the consideration of h.r. 518

  Mr. BEILENSON, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 422):

       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. 518) to designate certain lands in the 
     California Desert as wilderness, to establish the Death 
     Valley and Joshua Tree National Parks and the Mojave National 
     Monument, 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 Natural Resources. 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 
     Natural Resources now printed in the bill. The committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
     by title rather than by section. Each title of the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
     as read. Points of order against the committee amendment in 
     the nature of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 
     5(a) of rule XXI are waived. No amendment to the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order 
     unless printed in the portion of the Congressional Record 
     designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII before 
     the beginning of consideration of the bill. The amendment 
     caused to be printed in the Record by Representative LaRocco 
     of Idaho (relating to an East Mojave Preserve) may amend 
     portions of the bill not yet read for amendment. 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 final passage without intervening motion 
     except one motion to recommit with or without instructions. 
     After passage of H.R. 518, it shall be in order to take from 
     the Speaker's table the bill S. 21 and to consider the Senate 
     bill in the House. All points of order against the Senate 
     bill and against its consideration are waived. It shall 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. 518 as passed by the House. All points of order against 
     that motion are waived. If the motion is adopted and the 
     Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be in order 
     to move that the House insist on its amendments to S. 21 and 
     request a conference with the Senate thereon.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. BEILENSON 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. PETERSON of Florida, 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.

     Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall 
     conduct a study of impediments that may exist to achieving 
     appropriate air traffic controller staffing levels at hard-
     to-staff facilities. In conducting such study, the 
     Administrator shall identify and evaluate the extent to which 
     special incentives, of a financial or non-financial nature, 
     could be useful in recruiting or retaining air traffic 
     controllers at such facilities. The Administrator shall 
     submit to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
     Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Public 
     Works and Transportation of the House of Representatives not

     announces from the floor a request to that effect.
       Sec. 6. After disposition of or continued postponement of 
     further proceedings on each of the amendments printed in the

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

       At the end of title X insert the following section:

     SEC.      . REQUIREMENT TO USE SAVINGS FROM BURDENSHARING 
                   CONTRIBUTIONS FOR DEFICIT REDUCTION.

       (a) Burdensharing Agreements.--(1) As soon as practicable 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President 
     should enter into negotiations for purposes of revising the 
     host-nation agreement with each foreign country described in 
     paragraph (2). A revised host-nation agreement is an 
     agreement under which the foreign country agrees to assume, 
     beginning on or before September 30, 1997, all costs incurred 
     by the United States related to the presence of all United 
     States military personnel stationed in the country. The 
     agreement may provide for the phased-in assumption of such 
     costs over the three-year period beginning on October 1, 
     1994, and ending on September 30, 1997.
       (2) Paragraph (1) applies with respect to--
       (A) each country of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (other than the United States); and
       (B) Japan.
       (b) Troop Withdrawal.--If a revised host-nation agreement 
     described in subsection (a) is not entered into by September 
     30, 1997, in a country to which subsection (a) applies, the 
     President shall order the withdrawal of all United States 
     Armed Forces assigned to permanent duty ashore in that 
     country. The President may provide for the phased-in 
     withdrawal of such forces over the three-year period 
     beginning on October 1, 1997, and ending on September 30, 
     2000.
       (c) Use of Savings Realized.--The savings realized each 
     fiscal year as a result of the assumption of an increased 
     share of United States costs by the foreign countries to 
     which subsection (a) applies shall be used for deficit 
     reduction.
       (d) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall include in the 
     annual report required by section 1304 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 
     102-484; 106 Stat. 2546) the following information:
       (1) For each foreign country to which subsection (a) 
     applies, the costs to the United States of maintaining and 
     operating each United States military installation in that 
     country during the preceding fiscal year.
       (2) For each such military installation, the savings 
     realized during the preceding fiscal year (if any) as a 
     result of the assumption of an increased share of United 
     States costs by the host nation.

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  It is my pleasure to present to you the twenty-eighth annual report of 
National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). In terms of breadth and 
number of projects funded, this agency is the largest grant-making 
entity for the humanities in the country. The Endowment supports 
scholars, teachers, and students in their research and studies, and 
provides funds for projects such as documentary films and museum 
exhibitions that reach a large general audience. These humanities 
activities strengthen the cultural resources of the nation and provide 
insight into the problems that face our increasingly complex society.
  In addition to direct federal support of the humanities, NEH programs 
have stimulated private contributions, to date almost $1.3 billion in 
matching gift funds. The Endowment also requires grantees in most 
programs to commit their own funds for part of the project costs. The 
NEH support of a project is highly respected and often attracts 
additional funding from other sources.
  The country can be proud of the role the Endowment has played as a 
catalyst for the support of excellent humanities scholarship and 
education in the United States over the past twenty-eight years.
                                                     William J. Clinton.
  The White House, May 18, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor.

Para. 52.17  recorded vote

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

       Add at the end of the bill the following:

     SEC. 11. STUDY.

       (a) In General.--The Federal Black Lung Advisory Committee, 
     established under subsection (d) and referred to in this 
     section as the ``committee'', shall--
       (1) examine State workers' compensation laws to determine 
     the effectiveness of the laws in providing benefits on the 
     amount of disability or death due to pneumoconiosis, and
       (2) evaluate the information collected in conducting the 
     examination under paragraph (1).
       (b) Considerations.--In carrying out subsection (a), the 
     committee shall consider--
       (1) whether a State's law providing monthly benefits for 
     total disability or death due to a coal miner's 
     pneumoconiosis in an amount that is comparable to or that 
     exceeds the amounts payable under the Federal black lung 
     program under part C of the Black Lung Benefits Act,
       (2) whether the State law provides adequate coverage for 
     health care needs generated by a coal miner's pneumoconiosis,
       (3) whether a State's law precludes awards by virtue of 
     periods of limitation or other provisions that unreasonably 
     restrict the filing of claims or awards for a coal miner's 
     pneumoconiosis,
       (4) whether the medical or legal criteria for determining 
     entitlement in a State are fair and reasonable, and
       (5) whether a State workers' compensation system 
     facilitates reasonably prompt awards or settlements.
       (c)Report.--The committee shall transmit to the Secretary 
     of Labor, not later than 12 months after its establishment, a 
     final report containing a detailed statement of its findings, 
     conclusions, and recommendations under subsection (a).
       (d) Committee Establishment.--The Secretary of Labor shall 
     establish the Federal Black Lung Advisory Committee with 9 
     members. The Chairman of the committee and a majority of the 
     members of the committee shall be appointed by the Secretary 
     from individuals who have no economic interests in the coal 
     mining industry and who are not officers, directors, 
     employees, or representatives of groups organized to assist 
     claimants in the processing of their claims under the Federal 
     black lung program under part C of the Black Lung Benefits 
     Act. Of the 9 members, 2 shall be representatives of labor 
     and 2 shall be representatives of coal mine operators. 5 
     members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the 
     purpose of doing business. Members of the committee who are 
     not officers or employees of a Federal, State, or local 
     government shall be, for each day (including traveltime) 
     during which they are performing committee business, entitled 
     to receive compensation at a rate fixed by the Secretary but 
     not in excess of the daily rate in effect for grade GS-18 
     under section 5332 of title 5, United States Code, and shall 
     be entitled to reimbursement for travel, subsistence, and 
     other necessary expenses.

       (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Black Lung 
     Benefits Restoration Act of 1994''.
       (b) Reference.--Whenever in this Act (other than section 
     9(a)(1)) an amendment or repeal is expressed in terms of an 
     amendment to, or repeal of, a section or other provision, the 
     reference shall be considered to be made to a section or 
     other provision of the Black Lung Benefits Act.

     SEC. 2. BENEFIT OVERPAYMENT.

       Part C is amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``Sec. 436 (a) The repayment of benefits paid on a claim 
     filed under this part before the final adjudication of the 
     claim shall not be required if the claim was finally denied, 
     unless fraud or deception was used to procure the payment of 
     such benefits.
       ``(b) The trust fund shall refund any payments made to it 
     as a reimbursement of benefits paid on a claim filed under 
     this part before the final adjudication of the claim, unless 
     fraud or deception was used to procure the payment of such 
     benefits.
       ``(c) The trust fund shall reimburse an operator for any 
     benefits paid on a claim filed under this part before the 
     final adjudication of the claim if the claim was finally 
     denied.

[[Page 883]]

       ``(d) If on a claim for benefits filed under this part--
       ``(1) the Secretary makes an initial determination--
       ``(A) of eligibility, or
       ``(B) that particular medical benefits are payable, or
       ``(2) an award of benefits is made,
     the operator found to be the responsible operator under 
     section 422(h) shall, within 30 days of the date of such 
     determination or award, commence the payment of monthly 
     benefits accruing thereafter and of medical benefits that 
     have been found payable. If an operator fails to timely make 
     any payment required by an initial determination or by an 
     award, such determination or award shall be considered final 
     as of the date of its issuance.''.

     SEC. 3. EVIDENCE.

       Section 422 (30 U.S.C. 932) is amended by adding at the end 
     the following:
       ``(m)(1)(A) During the course of all proceedings on a claim 
     for benefits under this part, the results of not more than 3 
     medical examinations offered by the claimant may be received 
     as evidence to support eligibility for benefits.
       ``(B) During the course of all proceedings on a claim for 
     benefits under this part, the responsible operator and the 
     trust fund--
       ``(i) may each require, at no expense to the claimant, not 
     more than one medical examination of the miner, and
       ``(ii) may not each offer as evidence the results of more 
     than one medical examination of the miner.
       ``(C) An administrative law judge may require the miner to 
     submit to a medical examination by a physician assigned by 
     the District Director if the administrative law judge 
     determines that, at any time, there is good cause for 
     requiring such examination. For purposes of this 
     subparagraph, good cause shall exist only when the 
     administrative law judge is unable to determine from existing 
     evidence whether the claimant is entitled to benefits.
       ``(D) The complete pulmonary evaluation provided each miner 
     under section 413(b) and any consultive evaluation developed 
     by the District Director shall be received into evidence 
     notwithstanding subparagraph (A) or (B).
       ``(E) Any record of--
       ``(i) hospitalization for a pulmonary or related disease,
       ``(ii) medical treatment for a pulmonary or related 
     disease, and
       ``(iii) a biopsy or an autopsy,
     may be received into evidence notwithstanding subparagraph 
     (A) or (B).
       ``(2) In addition to the medical examinations authorized by 
     paragraph (1), each party may submit one interpretive medical 
     opinion (whether presented as documentary evidence or in oral 
     testimony) reviewing each clinical study or physical 
     examination (including a consultive reading of a chest 
     roentgenogram, an evaluation of a blood gas study, and an 
     evaluation of a pulmonary function study) derived from any 
     medical examination or contained in a record referred to in 
     paragraph (1)(E).
       ``(3) A request for modification of a denied claim under 
     section 22 of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation 
     Act, as made applicable to this Act by subsection (a) of this

     made without reasonable grounds, the administrative law judge 
     may assess the operator for the costs of the proceeding (not

     claim--
       ``(A) the person or Board which made the determination that 
     the claimant is entitled to benefits in an administrative 
     proceeding and any other person or Board which made a prior

     shall determine the amount of all costs and expenses 
     (including expert witness and attorney's fees) incurred by 
     the claimant in connection with any such proceeding and shall 
     assess the operator responsible to the claimant for such 
     costs and expenses which are reasonable or if there is not an 
     operator responsible to the claimant, shall assess the fund 
     for such costs and expenses.
       ``(3) The determination of such costs and expenses shall be 
     made within 60 days of the date the claimant submits a 
     petition for the payment of such costs and expenses to a 
     person, the Board, or court which made a determination on the

     petition shall take such action as may be necessary to assure 
     that such costs and expenses are paid within 45 days of the 
     date of the determination of such costs and expenses unless a 
     motion to reconsider--
       ``(A) the amount of such costs and expenses, or
       ``(B) the person liable for the payment of such amount,
     is pending.
       ``(4) If an operator pays costs and expenses assessed under 
     paragraph (1) and if the claimant for whom such costs and 
     expenses were paid is determined in a later proceeding not to 
     be eligible for benefits under this part, the fund shall pay 
     the operator the amount paid for such costs and expenses.
       ``(5) Section 28(e) of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' 
     Compensation Act shall apply with respect to any person who 
     receives costs and expenses which are paid under this 
     subsection on account of services rendered a claimant.''.

       (2) Allied contribution level.--To determine the allied 
     contribution level with respect to a fiscal year, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall calculate the aggregate amount of 
     nonpersonnel costs for United States military installations 
     in European member nations of NATO that are assumed during 
     that fiscal year by such nations, except that the Secretary 
     may consider only those cash and in-kind contributions by 
     such nations that replace expenditures that would otherwise 
     be made by the Secretary using funds appropriated or 
     otherwise made available in defense appropriations Acts.
       (c) Annual Goals for Force Reduction.--In continuing 
     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) and section 1401(c) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 
     107 Stat. 1824), the President is urged to seek to have 
     European member nations of NATO assume an increased share of 
     the nonpersonnel costs of United States military 
     installations in those nations in accordance with the 
     following timetable:
       (1) By September 30, 1995, 18.75 percent of such costs 
     should be assumed by those nations.
       (2) By September 30, 1996, 37.5 percent of such costs 
     should be assumed by those nations.
       (3) By September 30, 1997, 56.25 percent of such costs 
     should be assumed by those nations.
       (4) By September 30, 1998, 75 percent of such costs should 
     be assumed by those nations.
       (d) Exceptions.--
       (1) Minimum end strength authority.--Notwithstanding 
     reductions required pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary 
     of Defense may maintain an end strength of at least 25,000 
     members of the Armed Forces of the United States assigned to 
     permanent duty ashore in European member nations of NATO.
       (2) Waiver authority.--The President may waive operation of 
     this section if the President declares an emergency and 
     immediately informs the Congress of the waiver and the 
     reasons for the waiver.
       (e) Allocation of Force Reductions.--To the extent that 
     there is a reduction in end strength level for any of the 
     Armed Forces in European member nations of NATO in a fiscal 
     year pursuant to subsection (a)--
       (1) half of the reduction shall be used to make a 
     corresponding reduction in the authorized end strength level 
     for active duty personnel for such Armed Force for that 
     fiscal year; and
       (2) half of the reduction shall be used to make a 
     corresponding increase in permanent assignments or 
     deployments of forces in the United States or other nations 
     (other than European member nations of NATO) for each such 
     Armed Force for that fiscal year, as determined by the 
     Secretary of Defense.
       (f) Nonpersonnel Costs Defined.--For purposes of this 
     section, the term ``nonpersonnel costs'', with respect to 
     United States military installations in European member 
     nations of NATO, means costs for those installations other 
     than costs paid from military personnel accounts.

Para. 54.8  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to haiti

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  On October 4, 1991, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (``IEEPA'') (50 U.S.C. 1703 et seq.) and section 301 of the 
National Emergencies Act (``NEA'') (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), President 
Bush exercised his statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 
12775 on October 4, 1991, declaring a national emergency and blocking 
Haitian government property.
  On October 28, 1991, pursuant to the above authorities, President Bush 
exercised his statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12779 on 
October 28, 1991, blocking property of and prohibiting transactions with 
Haiti.
  On June 30, 1993, pursuant to the above authorities, as well as the 
United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (``UNPA'') (22 
U.S.C. 287c), I exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive 
Order No. 12853 of June 30, 1993, to impose additional economic measures 
with respect to Haiti. This latter action was taken, in part, to ensure 
that the economic measures taken by the United States with respect to 
Haiti would fulfill its obligations under United Nations Security 
Council Resolution 841 of June 16, 1993.
  On October 18, 1993, pursuant to the IEEPA and the NEA, I again 
exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12872 of 
October 18, 1993, blocking property of various persons with respect to 
Haiti.
  On May 6, 1994, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 
917, calling on Member States to take additional measures to tighten the 
embargo against Haiti. On May 7, 1994, pursuant to the above 
authorities, I exercised my statutory authority and issued Executive 
Order No. 12914 of May 7, 1994, to impose additional economic measures 
with respect to Haiti. This latter action was taken, in part, to ensure 
that the economic measures taken by the United States with respect to 
Haiti would fulfill its obligations under the provisions of United 
Nations Security Council Resolution 917 that were effective immediately 
under that Resolution.
  United Nations Security Council Resolution 917 contains several 
provisions required to become effective no later than May 21, 1994, to 
further tighten the embargo against Haiti. These include, inter alia, a 
requirement that Member States prohibit importation of Haitian-origin 
products into their territories exported from Haiti after May 21, 1994, 
activities that promote importation or transshipment of such products, 
and dealings by their nationals, flag vessels, or aircraft in such 
products. In addition, the Resolution requires Member States to prevent 
the sale or supply of products to Haiti by their nationals or from 
their territories or using their flag vessels or aircraft, and 
activities that promote such sale or supply, with certain exceptions 
for humanitarian needs and trade in informational materials.
  This new Executive order:
  --bans importation into the United States of goods or services of 
    Haitian origin exported after May 21, 1994, or activities that 
    promote or are intended to promote such importation, except for 
    informational materials;
  --prohibits activities by U.S. persons or from the United States that 
    promote exportation or transshipment of goods of Haitian origin 
    exported after May 21, 1994, except for informational materials;
  --prohibits dealings by U.S. persons or in the United States or using 
    U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft in goods of Haitian origin 
    exported after May 21, 1994, except for informational materials;
  --prohibits the sale, supply, or exportation by U.S. persons or from 
    the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of 
    any goods to Haiti or in connection with Haitian businesses, or 
    activities by U.S. persons or in the United States that promote 
    such sale, supply, or exportation, except for informational 
    materials, certain foodstuffs, and medicines and medical supplies;
  --prohibits any transaction that evades or avoids or has the purpose 
    of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the 
    prohibitions of this order; and
  --authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
    Secretary of State, to issue regulations implementing the 
    provisions of the Executive order.
  The new Executive order is necessary to implement certain provisions 
of United Nations Security Council Resolution 917 of May 6, 1994, which 
take effect no later than May 21, 1994, and require additional measures 
to tighten the embargo against Haiti with the goal of the restoration 
of democracy in that nation and the prompt return of the legitimately 
elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, under the framework of the 
Governors Island Agreement.
  I am providing this notice to the Congress pursuant to section 204(b) 
of the IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)) and section 301 of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 
1631). I am enclosing a copy of the Executive order that I have issued.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, May 21, 1994.

  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. 103-258).

Para. 54.9  message from the president--chemical and biological weapons

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  On November 16, 1990, in light of the dangers of the proliferation of 
chemical and biological weapons, President

[[Page 894]]

Bush issued Executive Order No. 12735, and declared a national emergency 
under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, 
et seq.). Under section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 
U.S.C. 1622(d)), the national emergency terminates on the anniversary 
date of its declaration unless the President publishes in the Federal 
Register and transmits to the Congress a notice of its continuation. On 
November 12, 1993, I extended the national emergency on the basis that 
the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons continues to pose 
an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign 
policy of the United States.
  Section 204 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and 
section 401(c) of the National Emergencies Act contain periodic 
reporting requirements regarding activities taken and money spent 
pursuant to an emergency declaration. The following report is made 
pursuant to those provisions. Additional information on chemical and 
biological weapons proliferation is contained in the report to the 
Congress provided pursuant to the Chemical and Biological Weapons 
Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991.
  The three export control regulations issued under the Enhanced 
Proliferation Control Initiatives are fully in force and continue to be 
used to control the export of items with potential use in chemical or 
biological weapons (CBW) or unmanned delivery systems for weapons of 
mass destruction.
  During the last 6 months, the United States has continued to address 
actively in its international diplomatic efforts the problem of the 
proliferation and use of CBW.
  More than 150 nations have signed the Chemical Weapons Convention 
(CWC) and a number have already ratified it. On November 23, 1993, I 
submitted the CWC to the Senate for its advice and consent to 
ratification. I have urged all nations, including the United States, to 
ratify the Convention quickly so that it can enter into force at the 
earliest possible date of January 13, 1995. We also have continued to 
urge those countries that have not signed the Convention to do so. The 
United States plays a leading role in the work of the CWC Preparatory 
Commission headquartered in The Hague, to elaborate the technical and 
administrative procedures for implementing the Convention.
  The United States participated actively in the Ad Hoc Group of 
Government Experts convened by the Third Biological Weapons Review 
Conference to identify and examine potential verification measures. The 
consensus final report of the experts group will be considered at a 
Special Conference of States Parties, to be held September 19-30, 1994. 
The United States supports the holding of a Special Conference and will 
promote new transparency measures to help strengthen the Convention.
  The membership of the Australia Group (AG) of countries cooperating 
against CBW proliferation stands at 25. At the December 1993 meeting of 
the AG, members reiterated their commitment to comprehensive and global 
chemical and biological disarmament, which can only be achieved by the 
early entry into force and effective and universal implementation of 
the CWC and full compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention. In 
this context, members stressed the importance of encouraging the widest 
possible adherence to the CWC.
  Experts at the December AG meeting also discussed ways of 
implementing CBW export controls more effectively. The Group considered 
streamlining licensing procedures applicable to mixtures and small 
quantities of precursor chemicals, with a view to facilitating 
legitimate trade without increasing the risk of contributing to 
potential weapons production. It also took steps to enhance cooperation 
in enforcement of existing controls.
  The United States Government determined that three commercial 
entities in Thailand had engaged in chemical weapons proliferation 
activities that required the imposition of trade sanctions against the 
entities, effective on February 8, 1994. Additional information on this 
determination is contained in a classified report to the Congress 
provided pursuant to the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and 
Warfare Elimination Act of 1991.
  Progress also was made in the steps taken by countries outside the AG 
to extend chemical weapons-related export controls. For example, the 
Royal Thai Government adopted regulations to prevent the export of Thai 
laborers to programs of CBW concern. Poland enacted legislation to 
implement controls on CBW-related items.
  Pursuant to section 401(c) of the National Emergencies Act, I report 
that there were no additional expenses directly attributable to the 
exercise of authorities conferred by the declaration of the national 
emergency.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, May 23, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-259).

Para. 54.10  va medical construction

  Mr. MONTGOMERY moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 
4425) to authorize major medical facility construction projects for the 
Department of Veterans Affairs for fiscal year 1995, to revise and 
improve veterans's health programs, and for other purposes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. RICHARDSON, recognized Mr. MONTGOMERY and 
Mr. STUMP, each for 20 minutes.
  After debate,
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House suspend the rules and pass said bill?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. RICHARDSON, 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 bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby the rules were suspended and 
said bill was passed was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said 
bill.

Para. 54.11  native american laws technical corrections

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SCOTT, laid before the House a message

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit to the Congress, pursuant to section 123d. of 
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the text of an amendment to 
the Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and 
the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern 
Ireland for Cooperation on the Uses of Atomic Energy for Mutual Defense 
Purposes of July 3, 1958, as amended, and my written approval, 
authorization, and determination concerning the agreement. The joint 
unclassified letter submitted to me by the Secretaries of Energy and 
Defense that provide a summary position on the Amendment is also 
enclosed.
  The Amendment extends for 10 years (until December 31, 2004) 
provisions which permit the transfer of nonnuclear parts, source, 
byproduct, special nuclear materials, and other material and technology 
for nuclear weapons and military reactors, and revises text, principally 
in the Security Annex, to be consistent with current policies and 
practices relating to personnel and physical security. Additionally, 
certain activities related to naval nuclear reactor plant technology 
have been completed and those provisions have been deleted from the 
Supplemental Technical Annex.
  In my judgment, the proposed Amendment meets all statutory 
requirements. The United Kingdom intends to continue to maintain viable 
nuclear forces. In light of our previous close cooperation and the fact 
that the United Kingdom has committed its nuclear forces to the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization, I have concluded that it is in our 
interest to continue to assist them in maintaining a credible nuclear 
force.
  I have approved the Amendment, authorized its execution, and urge that 
the Congress give it favorable consideration.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, May 23, 1994.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 103-260).

Para. 55.24  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following substitute amendment submitted by Mr. DELLUMS 
for the amendment submitted by Mr. GOSS:
  Substitute amendment submitted by Mr. DELLUMS:

       At the end of title X add the following:

     SEC. 1038. UNITED STATES POLICY ON HAITI.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the 1990 presidential election in Haiti was deemed by 
     numerous international observers to be both free and 
     democratic;
       (2) a military coup toppled the duly elected government of 
     President Jean Bertrand Aristide in 1991;
       (3) the process to restore democratic rule in Haiti agreed 
     to at Governor's Island has stalled; and
       (4) a deepening economic crisis in Haiti and political 
     oppression and systematic human rights abuses by Haiti's 
     military leaders have created a reprehensible humanitarian 
     crisis and driven Haitians to risk the perils of the sea to 
     seek refuge in increasing numbers.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
       (1) that the United States should not undertake any 
     military action directed against the mainland of Haiti unless 
     there is a clear and present danger to citizens of the United 
     States or United States interests requires such action;
       (2) that the President should swiftly intensify economic 
     pressure on Haiti's military should United Nations Security 
     Council Resolution 917 fail to result in Haiti's military 
     leaders to step down by May 21, 1994. The first step in any 
     such increased pressure should be the severing of commercial 
     air links with Haiti. The President should seek international 
     compliance with any such heightened pressure, if possible, 
     but should act unilaterally, if necessary, and should seek 
     improved sanctions enforcement by the international community 
     to compel Haiti's military rulers to relinquish power;
       (3) that the United States should make every effort to 
     replace shipboard processing of Haitian migrants with land-
     based processing at the earliest opportunity; and in view of 
     past difficulties in the processing of Haitian applicants for 
     refugee status under the laws of the United States, Creole 
     translators and counsel should be integral parts of any 
     revamped refugee policy;
       (4) that the United States should seek the cooperation of 
     third countries for the establishment of refugee processing 
     centers;
       (5) that the United States should augment humanitarian 
     assistance for Haiti's poor and seek the expeditious return 
     to Haiti of human rights monitors acting under the auspices 
     of the United Nations and the Organization of American 
     States; and
       (6) that the United States should continue to engage in 
     intensive, immediate consultation within the international 
     community to encourage support for the restoration of 
     democracy and national reconciliation in Haiti, including 
     encouraging all parties to honor their obligations under the 
     Governor's Island Accord of July 3, 1993 and the New York 
     Pact of July 16, 1993 with the principal aim of restoration 
     of democracy and the return to Haiti of President Aristide.

  Amendment submitted by Mr. GOSS:

       At the end of title X (page 277, after line 2), add the 
     following:

     SEC. 1038. UNITED STATES POLICY ON HAITI.

       (A) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the 1990 presidential election in Haiti was deemed to 
     be both free and democratic;
       (2) a military coup toppled the duly elected government in 
     1991;
       (3) the process to restore democratic rule in Haiti agreed 
     to at Governor's Island has stalled;
       (4) the economic crisis in Haiti is worsening; and
       (5) the people of Haiti are preparing in mass numbers to 
     leave their country to seek economic and political refuge 
     overseas.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
       (1) that the United States should not undertake any 
     military action directed against the mainland of Haiti unless 
     the President first certifies to Congress that clear and 
     present danager to citizens of the United States or United 
     States interests requires such action; and
       (2) that the United States should work with the 
     Organization of American States and the United Nations--
       (A) to establish a temporary safe haven on the Haitian 
     island of Ile de la Gonave for Haitian refugees escaping 
     economic and political hardship on the mainland of Haiti;
       (B) to assist in providing humanitarian assistance and visa 
     processing for such refugees in such safe haven; and
       (C) to assist the legitimate Haitian government in 
     establishing the long-term stability of democracy in Haiti.

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

       At the end of title X (page 277, after line 2), insert the 
     following new section:

     SEC.   . CREDIT AGAINST ASSESSMENTS FOR UNITED STATES 
                   EXPENDITURES IN SUPPORT OF UNITED NATIONS 
                   PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS.

       (a) Annual Report.--The President shall, at the time of 
     submission of the budget to Congress for any fiscal year, 
     submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report on 
     the total amount of funds appropriated for national defense 
     purposes for any fiscal year after fiscal year 1994 that were 
     expended during the preceding fiscal year to support or 
     participate in, directly or indirectly, United Nations 
     peacekeeping activities. Such report shall include a 
     breakdown by United Nations peacekeeping operation of the 
     amount of funds expended to support or participate in each 
     such operation.
       (b) Limitation.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, in each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 1996, 
     funds may be obligated or expended for payment to the United 
     Nations of the United States assessed share of peacekeeping 
     operations for that fiscal year only to the extent that such 
     assessed share exceeds the total amount identified in the 
     report submitted pursuant to subsection (a) for the preceding 
     fiscal year, reduced by the amount of any reimbursement or 
     credit to the United States by the United Nations for the 
     costs of United States support for, or participation in, 
     United Nations peacekeeping activities for that fiscal year.
       (c) Definitions.--As used in this section:
       (1) The term ``United Nations peacekeeping activities'' 
     means any international peacekeeping, peacemaking, peace-
     enforcing, or similar activity that is authorized by the 
     United Nations Security Council under chapter VI or VII of 
     the United Nations Charter.
       (2) The term ``appropriate committees of Congress'' means--
       (A) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
     Appropriations, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the 
     House of Representatives; and
       (B) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
     Appropriations, and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate.

                                         Committee on Public Works


                                           and Transportation,

                                     Washington, DC, May 17, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     The Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Capitol, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the provisions of the Public 
     Buildings Act of 1959, I am transmitting herewith the 
     resolutions (originals plus one copy) approved today by the 
     Committee on Public Works and Transportation.
           Sincerely,

                                             Norman Y. Mineta,

                                  Chair, Committee on Public Works
                                               and Transportation.

  The communication, together with the accompanying papers, was referred

Para. 55.31  notice requirement--consideration of resolution--h.res.436

  Mr. KLUG, pursuant to rule IX, announced his intention to call up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 436) as a question of the privileges of 
the House:

       Whereas allegations reported in public and made in official 
     Department of Justice court documents that personnel of the 
     House Post Office provided illegal cash to certain Members in 
     three ways: (1) cash instead of stamps for official vouchers, 
     (2) cash for postage stamps which had earlier been purchased 
     with official vouchers, and (3) cash for campaign checks;
       Whereas the Department of Justice has secured admissions of 
     criminal guilt regarding past activities in the House Post 
     Office;
       Whereas multiple concerns and allegations of possible 
     wrongdoing by House employees, a House officer, and Members 
     had been raised within the report of the House Administration 
     Committee Task Force to Investigate the Operation and 
     Management of the House Post Office;
       Whereas all these allegations directly affect the rights of 
     the House collectively, its safety, dignity, and the 
     integrity of its proceedings, and the rights, reputation, and 
     conduct of its Members;
       Whereas Article I, Section 5, of the Constitution gives 
     each House of Congress responsibility over disorderly 
     behavior of its Members; and
       Whereas the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has 
     jurisdiction over the conduct and behavior of current House 
     Members, officers, and employees, including investigatory 
     authority, and is the appropriate body of this House to 
     conduct any inquiry: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct is instructed to immediately investigate any alleged 
     violation, by any Member, officer, or employee of the House, 
     of the Code of Official Conduct or of any law, rule, 
     regulation, or other standard of conduct that is related to 
     activities, described by or referred to in, documents that it 
     received on July 22, 1992, from the Committee on House 
     Administration pertaining to the House Administration 
     Committee Task Force to Investigate the Operation and 
     Management of the House Post Office investigation. Not later 
     than 60 days after this resolution is agreed to and 
     periodically thereafter, the Committee on Standards and 
     Official Conduct shall report to the House the status of this 
     investigation. Not later than September 30, 1994, the 
     Committee on Standards of Official Conduct shall report to 
     the House its findings of fact and recommendations on 
     possible disciplinary actions.

  When said resolution and report were referred to the House Calendar

Para. 55.34  providing for the consideration of a certain resolution

     activity of equal or better quality. Such suggestions may 
     include a combination or elimination of inefficient or

     responsibilities under the terms of the contract. The 
     warranty or guarantee clause shall be reasonably related to 
     the materials and work performed and in accordance with the

       (a) Permanent Program.--Section 112(b)(2) of title 23, 
     United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
     following new subparagraphs:
       ``(C) Performance and audits.--Any contract or subcontract 
     awarded in accordance with subparagraph (A), whether funded 
     in whole or in part with Federal-aid highway funds, shall be 
     performed and audited in compliance with cost principles 
     contained in the Federal acquisition regulations of part 31 
     of title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
       ``(D) Indirect cost rates.--Instead of performing its own 
     audits, a recipient of funds under a contract or subcontract 
     awarded in accordance with subparagraph (A) shall accept 
     indirect cost rates established in accordance with the 
     Federal acquisition regulations for 1-year applicable 
     accounting periods by a cognizant government agency or 
     independent certified public accountant if such rates are not 
     currently under dispute. Once a firm's indirect cost rates 
     are accepted, the recipient of such funds shall apply such 
     rates for the purposes of contract estimation, negotiation, 
     administration, reporting, and contract payment and shall not 
     be limited by administrative or de facto ceilings in 
     accordance with section 15.901(c) of such title 48. A 
     recipient of such funds requesting or using the cost and rate 
     data described in this subparagraph shall notify any affected 
     firm before such request or use. Such data shall be 
     confidential and shall not be accessible or provided, in 
     whole or in part, to any other firm or to any government 
     agency which is not part of the group of agencies sharing 
     cost data under this subparagraph, except by written 
     permission of the audited firm. If prohibited by law, such 
     cost and rate data shall not be disclosed under any 
     circumstances.
       ``(E) State option.--Subparagraphs (C) and (D) shall take 
     effect 2 years after the date of the enactment of this 
     subparagraph with respect to all States; except that if a 
     State, during such 2-year period, adopts by statute an 
     alternative process intended to promote engineering and 
     design quality and ensure maximum competition by professional 
     companies of all sizes providing engineering and design 
     services, such subparagraphs shall not apply with respect to 
     such State.''.
       (b) Repeal of Pilot Program.--Section 1092 of the 
     Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (23 
     U.S.C. 112 note; 105 Stat. 2024) is repealed.

     through 1997, the Secretary shall make available--

     Secretary may encourage States to use technologically 
     advanced traffic enforcement devices (including the use of

     enforcement officers.
       ``(d) Data Collection and Reporting Program.--

     the Secretary such data as the Secretary may require.
       ``(2) Purposes.--The purposes of the program under this 
     subsection are to ensure national uniform data on such deaths 
     and injuries and to allow the Secretary to make 
     determinations for use in developing programs to reduce such 
     deaths and injuries and making recommendations to Congress 
     concerning legislation necessary to implement such programs.
       ``(3) Program requirements.--The program under this 
     subsection shall include information obtained by the 
     Secretary under section 4004 of the Intermodal Surface 
     Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and provide for annual 
     reports to the Secretary on the efforts being made by the 
     States in reducing deaths and injuries occurring at highway 
     construction sites and the effectiveness and results of such 
     efforts.
       ``(4) Reporting criteria.--The Secretary shall establish 
     minimum reporting criteria for the program under this 
     subsection. Such criteria shall include, but not be limited 
     to, criteria on deaths and injuries resulting from police 
     pursuits, school bus accidents, and speeding, on traffic-
     related deaths and injuries at highway construction sites and 
     on the configuration of commercial motor vehicles involved in 
     motor vehicle accidents.
       ``(e) Use of Funds.--
       ``(1) For highway safety programs.--Funds authorized to be 
     appropriated to carry out this section shall be used to aid 
     the States to conduct the highway safety programs approved in 
     accordance with subsection (a), including development and 
     implementation of manpower training programs, and of 
     demonstration programs that the Secretary determines will 
     contribute directly to the reduction of traffic accidents and 
     deaths and injuries resulting therefrom.
       ``(2) Administrative expenses.--Funds authorized to be 
     appropriated to carry out this section shall be subject to a 
     deduction not to exceed 5 percent for the necessary costs of 
     administering the provisions of this section, and the 
     remainder shall be apportioned among the several States under 
     subsection (f).
       ``(3) Limitation.--Nothing in this section authorizes the 
     appropriation or expenditure of funds--
       ``(A) for highway construction, maintenance, or design 
     (other than design of safety features of highways to be 
     incorporated into guidelines); or
       ``(B) for any purpose for which funds are authorized by 
     section 403 of this title.
       ``(f) Apportionment of Funds.--
       ``(1) Formula.--After the deduction under subsection 
     (e)(2), the remainder of the funds authorized to be 
     appropriated to carry out this section shall be apportioned 
     75 percent in the ratio which the population of each State 
     bears to the total population of all the States, as shown by 
     the latest available Federal census, and 25 percent in the 
     ratio which the public road mileage in each State bears to 
     the total public road mileage in all States.
       ``(2) Minimum percentage.--The annual apportionment to each 
     State shall not be less than \1/2\ of 1 percent of the total 
     apportionment; except that the apportionments to the Virgin 
     Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the 
     Northern Mariana Islands shall not be less than \1/4\ of 1 
     percent of the total apportionment.
       ``(3) Approved highway safety program.--The Secretary shall 
     not apportion any funds under this subsection to any State 
     which is not implementing a highway safety program approved 
     by the Secretary in accordance with this section.
       ``(4) Reduction of apportionment.--Funds apportioned under 
     this section to any State, that does not have a highway 
     safety program approved by the Secretary or that is not 
     implementing an approved program, shall be reduced by amounts 
     equal to not less than 50 percent of the amounts that would 
     otherwise be apportioned to the State under this section, 
     until such time as the Secretary approves such program or 
     determines that the State is implementing an approved 
     program, as appropriate. The Secretary shall consider the 
     gravity of the State's failure to have or implement an 
     approved program in determining the amount of the reduction.
       ``(5) Apportionment of withheld funds.--The Secretary shall 
     promptly apportion to the State the funds withheld from its 
     apportionment if the Secretary approves the State's highway 
     safety program or determines that the State has begun 
     implementing an approved program, as appropriate, prior to 
     the end of the fiscal year for which the funds were withheld. 
     If the Secretary determines that the State did not correct 
     its failure within such period, the Secretary shall 
     reapportion the withheld funds to the other States in 
     accordance with the formula specified in this subsection not 
     later than 30 days after such determination.
       ``(6) Determination of public road mileage.--For the 
     purposes of this subsection, the term a `public road' means 
     any road under the jurisdiction of, and maintained by, a 
     public authority and open to public travel. As used in this 
     subsection, public road mileage shall be determined as of the 
     end of the calendar year preceding the year in which the 
     funds are apportioned and shall be certified to by the 
     Governor of the State and subject to approval by the 
     Secretary.
       ``(g) Applicability of Chapter 1.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
     subsection, all provisions of chapter 1 of this title that 
     are applicable to National Highway System highway funds, 
     other than provisions relating to the apportionment formula 
     and provisions limiting the expenditure of such funds to the 
     Federal-aid systems, shall apply to the highway safety funds 
     authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section.
       ``(2) Inconsistent provisions.--If the Secretary determines 
     that a provision of chapter 1 of this title is inconsistent 
     with this section, such provision shall not apply to funds 
     authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section.
       ``(3) Credit for state and local expenditures.--The 
     aggregate of all expenditures made during any fiscal year by 
     a State and its political subdivisions (exclusive of Federal 
     funds) for carrying out the State highway safety program 
     (other than planning and administration) shall be available 
     for the purpose of crediting such State during such fiscal 
     year for the non-Federal share of the cost of any project 
     under this section (other than one for planning or 
     administration) without regard to whether such expenditures 
     were actually made in connection with such project.
       ``(4) Increased federal share for certain indian tribe 
     programs.--In the case of a local highway safety program 
     carried out by an Indian tribe, if the Secretary is satisfied 
     that an Indian tribe does not have sufficient funds available 
     to meet the non-Federal share of the cost of such program, 
     the Secretary may increase the Federal share of the cost 
     thereof payable under this title to the extent necessary.
       ``(5) Treatment of term `state highway department'.--In 
     applying the provisions of chapter 1 of this title in 
     carrying out this section, the term `State highway 
     department' as used in such provisions shall mean the 
     Governor of a State for the purposes of this section.

     this section in Indian country, the terms `State' and

[[Page 931]]

     provisions of subsection (c)(1)(C), 95 percent of the funds 
     transferred to the Secretary of the Interior under this 
     section shall be expended by Indian tribes to carry out 
     highway safety programs within their jurisdictions. The 
     provisions of subsection (c)(1)(D) shall be applicable to 
     Indian tribes, except to those tribes with respect to which 
     the Secretary determines that application of such provisions 
     would not be practicable.
       ``(2) Indian country defined.--For the purpose of this 
     subsection, the term `Indian country' means--
       ``(A) all land within the limits of any Indian reservation 
     under the jurisdiction of the United States, notwithstanding 
     the issuance of any patent, and including rights-of-way 
     running through the reservation;

     of the United States whether within the original or 
     subsequently acquired territory thereof and whether within or

     have not been extinguished, including rights-of-way running

       ``(i) Rulemaking Process.--The Secretary may from time to 
     time conduct a rulemaking process to determine those highway 
     safety programs that are most effective in reducing traffic 
     accidents, injuries, and deaths. Any rule under this 
     subsection shall be promulgated taking into account 
     consideration of the views of the States having a major role 
     in establishing such programs. When a rule promulgated in 
     accordance with this subsection takes effect, only those 
     programs established by such rule as most effective in 
     reducing traffic accidents, injuries, and deaths shall be 
     eligible to receive Federal financial assistance under this 
     section.''.

Para. 56.16  providing for the consideration of h.r. 4426

  Mr. HALL of Ohio, by direction of the Committee on Rules and pursuant 
to House Resolution 441, called up the following resolution (H. Res. 
443):

       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. 4426) making appropriations for foreign 
     operations, export financing, and related programs for the 
     fiscal year ending September 30, 1995. All points of order 
     against the bill and against its consideration are waived. 
     General debate shall be confined to the bill and the 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
     Committee on Appropriations and shall not exceed one hour 
     equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. After 
     general debate the pending question shall be the adoption of 
     the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by 
     the Committee on Appropriations now printed in the bill. The 
     committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
     designated and shall be debatable for ten minutes equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on Appropriations. All points of 
     order against the committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute, and against provisions in the bill if so amended, 
     are waived. If the committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute is adopted, then the bill as so amended shall be 
     considered as the original bill for the purpose of further 
     amendment under the five-minute rule and shall be considered 
     as read. No further amendment 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 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 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 amendments printed in the report 
     are waived. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may 
     postpone until a time during further consideration in the 
     Committee of the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any 
     amendment made in order by this resolution. The chairman of 
     the Committee of the Whole may reduce to not less than five 
     minutes the time for voting by electronic device on any 
     postponed question that immediately follows another vote by 
     electronic device without intervening business, provided that 
     the time for voting by electronic device on the first in any 
     series of questions shall be not less than fifteen minutes. 
     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 inter- 
     vening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  Mr. HALL of Ohio 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. TORRES, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. HALL of Ohio objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was 
not present and not voting.

  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by

              ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL

       Sec. 517. The Congress finds that progress on the peace 
     process in the Middle East is vitally important to United 
     States security interests in the region. The Congress 
     recognizes that, in fulfilling its obligations under the

     State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26, 1979, Israel 
     in- 

[[Page 944]]

     curred severe economic burdens. Furthermore, the Congress 
     recognizes that an economically and militarily secure Israel 
     serves the security interests of the United States, for a 
     secure Israel is an Israel which has the incentive and 
     confidence to continue pursuing the peace process. Therefore, 
     the Congress declares that it is the policy and the intention 
     of the United States that the funds provided in annual 
     appropriations for the Economic Support Fund which are 
     allocated to Israel shall not be less than the annual debt 
     repayment (interest and principal) from Israel to the United 
     States Government in recognition that such a principle serves 
     United States interests in the region.

     practice abortions. None of the funds made available to carry 
     out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, 
     may be used to pay for the performance of involuntary

     sterilizations. None of the funds made available to carry out 
     part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may

     abortions or involuntary sterilization as a means of family 
     planning. None of the funds made available to carry out part 
     I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be 
     obligated or expended for any country or organization if the 
     President certifies that the use of these funds by any such 
     country or organization would violate any of the above 
     provisions related to abortions and involuntary 
     sterilizations. The Congress reaffirms its commitments to 
     Population, Development Assistance and to the need for 
     informed voluntary family planning.

       (a) any financial incentive to a business enterprise 
     currently located in the United States for the purpose of 
     inducing such an enterprise to relocate outside the United 
     States if such incentive or inducement is likely to reduce

     developing in a foreign country any export processing zone or 
     designated area in which the tax, tariff, labor, environment,

     United States; or

                 authority to assist bosnia-hercegovina

       Sec. 546. (a) Congress finds as follows:
       (1) The United Nations has imposed an embargo on the 
     transfer of arms to any country on the territory of the 
     former Yugoslavia.
       (2) The federated states of Serbia and Montenegro have a 
     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, 
     and artillery pieces.
       (3) Because the United Nations arms embargo is serving to 
     sustain the military advantage of the aggressor, the United 
     Nations should exempt the government of Bosnia-Hercegovina 
     from its embargo.
       (b) Pursuant to a lifting of the United Nations arms 
     embargo, or to a unilateral lifting of the arms embargo by 
     the President of the United States, against Bosnia-
     Hercegovina, the President is authorized to transfer to the 
     government of that nation, without reimbursement, defense 
     articles from the stocks of the Department of Defense of an 
     aggregate value not to exceed $50,000,000 in fiscal year 
     1995: Provided, That the President certifies in a timely 
     fashion to the Congress that--
       (1) the transfer of such articles would assist that nation 
     in self-defense and thereby promote the security and 
     stability of the region; and
       (2) United States allies are prepared to join in such a 
     military assistance effort.
       (c) Within 60 days of any transfer under the authority 
     provided in subsection (b), and every 60 days thereafter, the 
     President shall report in writing to the Speaker of the House 
     of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the 
     Senate concerning the articles transferred and the 
     disposition thereof.
       (d) There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
     President such sums as may be necessary to reimburse the 
     applicable appropriation, fund, or account for defense 
     articles provided under this section.
       (e) If the President determines that doing so will 
     contribute to a just resolution of charges regarding genocide 
     or other violations of international law in the former 
     Yugoslavia, the authority of section 552(c) of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to provide up 
     to $25,000,000 of commodities and services to the United 
     Nations War Crimes Tribunal, without regard to the ceiling 
     limitation contained in paragraph (2) thereof: Provided, That 
     the determination required under this subsection shall be in 
     lieu of any determinations otherwise required under section 
     552(c).

     Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985: Provided 
     further, That the President shall terminate assistance to any 
     Cambodian organization that he determines is cooperating, 
     tactically or strategically, with the Khmer Rouge in their 
     military operations.

     provisions of sections 103 through 106 of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961 may be used, notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, for the purpose of supporting tropical

     greenhouse gases with regard to the key countries in which 
     deforestation and energy policy would make a significant 
     contribution to global warming: Provided, That such 
     assistance shall be subject to sections 116, 502B, and 620A 
     of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
       (c) During fiscal year 1995, the President may use up to 
     $50,000,000 under the authority of section 451 of the Foreign

     contained in subsection (a) of that section.

        policy on terminating the arab league boycott of israel

       Sec. 548. (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;

[[Page 947]]

       (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 an 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.


                       ANTI-NARCOTICS ACTIVITIES

       Sec. 549. (a) Of the funds appropriated by this Act under 
     the heading ``Economic Support Fund'', assistance may be 
     provided to strengthen the administration of justice in 
     countries in Latin America and the Caribbean in accordance 
     with the provisions of section 534 of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961, except that programs to enhance protection of 
     participants in judicial cases may be conducted 
     notwithstanding section 660 of that Act.
       (b) Funds made available pursuant to this section may be 
     made available notwithstanding the third sentence of section 
     534(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. Funds made 
     available pursuant to subsection (a)(1) for Bolivia, Colombia 
     and Peru and subsection (a)(2) may be made available 
     notwithstanding section 534(c) and the second sentence of 
     section 534(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

       Sec. 550. (a) Assistance Through Nongovernmental 
     Organizations.--Restrictions contained in this or any other 
     Act with respect to assistance for a country shall not be

     nongovernmental organizations from funds appropriated by this 
     Act to carry out the provisions of chapters 1 and 10 of part 
     I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961: Provided, That the 
     President shall take into consideration, in any case in which 
     a restriction on assistance would be applicable but for this 
     subsection, whether assistance in support of programs of 
     nongovernmental organizations is in the national interest of 
     the United States: Provided further, That before using the 
     authority of this subsection to furnish assistance in support 
     of programs of nongovernmental organizations, the President 
     shall notify the Committees on Appropriations under the 
     regular notification procedures of those committees, 
     including a description of the program to be assisted, the 
     assistance to be provided, and the reasons for furnishing 
     such assistance: Provided further, That nothing in this 
     subsection shall be construed to alter any existing statutory 
     prohibitions against abortion or involuntary sterilizations 
     contained in this or any other Act.
       (b) Public Law 480.--During fiscal year 1995, restrictions 
     contained in this or any other Act with respect to assistance 
     for a country shall not be construed to restrict assistance 
     under titles I and II of the Agricultural Trade Development 
     and Assistance Act of 1954: Provided, That none of the funds 
     appropriated to carry out title I of such Act and made 
     available pursuant to this subsection may be obligated or 
     expended except as provided through the regular notification 
     procedures of the Committees on Appropriations.
       (c) Exception.--This section shall not apply--
       (1) with respect to section 529 of this Act or any 
     comparable provision of law prohibiting assistance to 
     countries that support international terrorism; or
       (2) with respect to section 116 of the Foreign Assistance 
     Act of 1961 or any comparable provision of law prohibiting 
     assistance to countries that violate internationally 
     recognized human rights.


                                EARMARKS

       Sec. 551. (a) Funds appropriated by this Act which are 
     earmarked may be reprogrammed for other programs within the 
     same account notwithstanding the earmark if compliance with 
     the earmark is made impossible by operation of any provision 
     of this or any other Act or, with respect to a country with 
     which the United States has an agreement providing the United 
     States with base rights or base access in that country, if 
     the President determines that the recipient for which funds 
     are earmarked has significantly reduced its military or 
     economic cooperation with the United States since enactment 
     of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
     Programs Appropriations Act, 1991; however, before exercising 
     the authority of this subsection with regard to a base rights 
     or base access country which has significantly reduced its 
     military or economic cooperation with the United States, the 
     President shall consult with, and shall provide a written 
     policy justification to the Committees on Appropriations: 
     Provided, That any such reprogramming shall be subject to the 
     regular notification procedures of the Committees on 
     Appropriations: Provided further, That assistance that is 
     reprogrammed pursuant to this subsection shall be made 
     available under the same terms and conditions as originally 
     provided.
       (b) In addition to the authority contained in subsection 
     (a), the original period of availability of funds 
     appropriated by this Act and administered by the Agency for 
     International Development that are earmarked for particular 
     programs or activities by this or any other Act shall be 
     extended for an additional fiscal year if the Administrator 
     of such agency determines and reports promptly to the 
     Committees on Appropriations that the termination of 
     assistance to a country or a significant change in 
     circumstances makes it unlikely that such earmarked funds can 
     be obligated during the original period of availability: 
     Provided, That such earmarked funds that are continued 
     available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated 
     only for the purpose of such earmark.


                         CEILINGS AND EARMARKS

       Sec. 552. Ceilings and earmarks contained in this Act shall

  So the amendment was not agreed to.

under consideration said bill, had come to no resolution thereon.

Para. 56.25  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to yugoslavia

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OBEY, 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, 1994, 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-Herzegovina by force and violence. The actions and 
policies 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 in the former Yugoslavia.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, May 25, 1994.

  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. 103-262).

Para. 56.26  recess--6:47 p.m.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. OBEY, pursuant to clause 12 of rule I, 
declared the House in recess at 6 o'clock and 47 minutes p.m., subject 
to the call of the Chair.

Para. 56.27  after recess--7:30 p.m.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FROST, called the House to order.

Para. 56.28  further message from the senate

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

       S. Con. Res. 70. Concurrent resolution providing for a 
     conditional recess or adjournment of the Senate on Wednesday, 
     May 25, 1994, Thursday, May 26, 1994, Friday, May 27, 1994, 
     or Saturday, May 28, 1994, until Tuesday, June 7, 1994, and a 
     conditional adjournment of the House on Thursday, May 26, 
     1994, until Wednesday, June 8, 1994.

  The message also announced that the Senate agreed to the report of the 
committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendment of the House to the bill (S. 24) ``An Act to reauthorize 
the independent counsel law for an additional 5 years, and for other 
purposes.''.

Para. 56.29  foreign aid appropriations

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FROST, pursuant to House Resolution 443 
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. 4426) making appropriations for foreign operations, 
export financing, and related programs for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 1995.
  Mr. RICHARDSON, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, resumed the 
chair; and after some time spent therein,

Para. 56.30  recorded vote

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

       At the end of the bill, insert after the last section 
     (preceding the short title) the following new section:


        limitation on funds for south african assistance program

       Sec.  . Of the funds made available in this Act, the amount 
     that may be used to support the South African Assistance 
     Program shall not exceed the amount used for such purpose 
     during fiscal year 1994.

limitation on availability of funds for international organizations and

     of this Act, none of the funds provided for ``International 
     Organizations and Programs'' shall be available for the 
     United States proportionate share, in accordance with section 
     307(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, for any

              ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL

       Sec. 517. The Congress finds that progress on the peace 
     process in the Middle East is vitally important to United 
     States security interests in the region. The Congress 
     recognizes that, in fulfilling its obligations under the 
     Treaty of Peace Between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the 
     State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26, 1979, Israel 
     incurred severe economic burdens. Furthermore, the Congress 
     recognizes that an economically and militarily secure Israel 
     serves the security interests of the United States, for a 
     secure Israel is an Israel which has the incentive and 
     confidence to continue pursuing the peace process. Therefore, 
     the Congress declares that it is the policy and the intention 
     of the United States that the funds provided in annual 
     appropriations for the Economic Support Fund which are 
     allocated to Israel shall not be less than the annual debt 
     repayment (interest and principal) from Israel to the United 
     States Government in recognition that such a principle serves

     United States; or

                 authority to assist bosnia-hercegovina

       Sec. 546. (a) Congress finds as follows:
       (1) The United Nations has imposed an embargo on the 
     transfer of arms to any country on the territory of the 
     former Yugoslavia.
       (2) The federated states of Serbia and Montenegro have a

     Serbian forces fighting the government of Bosnia-Hercegovina 
     have more than one thousand battle tanks, armored vehicles, 
     and artillery pieces.
       (3) Because the United Nations arms embargo is serving to 
     sustain the military advantage of the aggressor, the United 
     Nations should exempt the government of Bosnia-Hercegovina 
     from its embargo.
       (b) Pursuant to a lifting of the United Nations arms 
     embargo, or to a unilateral lifting of the arms embargo by 
     the President of the United States, against Bosnia-
     Hercegovina, the President is authorized to transfer to the 
     government of that nation, without reimbursement, defense 
     articles from the stocks of the Department of Defense of an 
     aggregate value not to exceed $50,000,000 in fiscal year 
     1995: Provided, That the President certifies in a timely 
     fashion to the Congress that--
       (1) the transfer of such articles would assist that nation 
     in self-defense and thereby promote the security and 
     stability of the region; and
       (2) United States allies are prepared to join in such a 
     military assistance effort.
       (c) Within 60 days of any transfer under the authority 
     provided in subsection (b), and every 60 days thereafter, the 
     President shall report in writing to the Speaker of the House 
     of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the 
     Senate concerning the articles transferred and the 
     disposition thereof.
       (d) There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
     President such sums as may be necessary to reimburse the 
     applicable appropriation, fund, or account for defense 
     articles provided under this section.
       (e) If the President determines that doing so will 
     contribute to a just resolution of charges regarding genocide 
     or other violations of international law in the former 
     Yugoslavia, the authority of section 552(c) of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to provide up 
     to $25,000,000 of commodities and services to the United 
     Nations War Crimes Tribunal, without regard to the ceiling 
     limitation contained in paragraph (2) thereof: Provided, That

     Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985: Provided

     Cambodian organization that he determines is cooperating, 
     tactically or strategically, with the Khmer Rouge in their 
     military operations.

     provisions of sections 103 through 106 of the Foreign

        policy on terminating the arab league boycott of israel

       Sec. 548. (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 an 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.


                       ANTI-NARCOTICS ACTIVITIES

     participants in judicial cases may be conducted 
     notwithstanding section 660 of that Act.

     I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961: Provided, That the

     the United States: Provided further, That before using the 
     authority of this subsection to furnish assistance in support 
     of programs of nongovernmental organizations, the President 
     shall notify the Committees on Appropriations under the

     including a description of the program to be assisted, the 
     assistance to be provided, and the reasons for furnishing

       (b) Public Law 480.--During fiscal year 1995, restrictions 
     contained in this or any other Act with respect to assistance 
     for a country shall not be construed to restrict assistance 
     under titles I and II of the Agricultural Trade Development 
     and Assistance Act of 1954: Provided, That none of the funds 
     appropriated to carry out title I of such Act and made 
     available pursuant to this subsection may be obligated or 
     expended except as provided through the regular notification

     Act of 1961 or any comparable provision of law prohibiting 
     assistance to countries that violate internationally 
     recognized human rights.

       Sec. 551. (a) Funds appropriated by this Act which are 
     earmarked may be reprogrammed for other programs within the 
     same account notwithstanding the earmark if compliance with 
     the earmark is made impossible by operation of any provision 
     of this or any other Act or, with respect to a country with 
     which the United States has an agreement providing the United 
     States with base rights or base access in that country, if 
     the President determines that the recipient for which funds 
     are earmarked has significantly reduced its military or 
     economic cooperation with the United States since enactment 
     of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
     Programs Appropriations Act, 1991; however, before exercising 
     the authority of this subsection with regard to a base rights 
     or base access country which has significantly reduced its 
     military or economic cooperation with the United States, the 
     President shall consult with, and shall provide a written 
     policy justification to the Committees on Appropriations: 
     Provided, That any such reprogramming shall be subject to the 
     regular notification procedures of the Committees on 
     Appropriations: Provided further, That assistance that is 
     reprogrammed pursuant to this subsection shall be made 
     available under the same terms and conditions as originally 
     provided.
       (b) In addition to the authority contained in subsection 
     (a), the original period of availability of funds 
     appropriated by this Act and administered by the Agency for 
     International Development that are earmarked for particular 
     programs or activities by this or any other Act shall be 
     extended for an additional fiscal year if the Administrator 
     of such agency determines and reports promptly to the 
     Committees on Appropriations that the termination of 
     assistance to a country or a significant change in 
     circumstances makes it unlikely that such earmarked funds can 
     be obligated during the original period of availability: 
     Provided, That such earmarked funds that are continued 
     available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated 
     only for the purpose of such earmark.

       Whereas allegations reported in public and made in official 
     Department of Justice court documents that personnel of the 
     House Post Office provided illegal cash to certain Members in 
     three ways: (1) cash instead of stamps for official vouchers, 
     (2) cash for postage stamps which had earlier been purchased 
     with official vouchers, and (3) cash for campaign checks;
       Whereas the Department of Justice has secured admissions of 
     criminal guilt regarding past activities in the House Post 
     Office;
       Whereas multiple concerns and allegations of possible 
     wrongdoing by House employees, a House officer, and Members 
     had been raised within the report of the House Administration 
     Committee Task Force to Investigate the Operation and 
     Management of the House Post Office;
       Whereas all these allegations directly affect the rights of 
     the House collectively, its safety, dignity, and the 
     integrity of its proceedings, and the rights, reputation, and 
     conduct of its Members;
       Whereas Article I, Section 5, of the Constitution gives 
     each House of Congress responsibility over disorderly 
     behavior of its Members; and
       Whereas the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has 
     jurisdiction over the conduct and behavior of current House 
     Members, officers, and employees, including investigatory 
     authority, and is the appropriate body of this House to 
     conduct any inquiry: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct is instructed to immediately investigate any alleged 
     violation, by any Member, officer, or employee of the House, 
     of the Code of Official Conduct or of any law, rule, 
     regulation, or other standard of conduct that is related to 
     activities, described by or referred to in, documents that it 
     received on July 22, 1992, from the Committee on House 
     Administration pertaining to the House Administration 
     Committee Task Force to Investigate the Operation and 
     Management of the House Post Office investigation. Not later 
     than 60 days after this resolution is agreed to and 
     periodically thereafter, the Committee on Standards of 
     Official Conduct shall report to the House the status of this 
     investigation. Not later than September 30, 1994, the 
     Committee on Standards of Official Conduct shall report to 
     the House its findings of fact and recommendations on 
     possible disciplinary actions.

       (5) the Communist regime in North Korea has built up an 
     armed force nearly twice the size of that in the Republic of 
     Korea and has never renounced the active and ongoing use of 
     force, terrorism, and subversion in its attempts to subdue 
     and subjugate the Republic of Korea;
       (6) although the North Korean regime signed the Treaty on 
     the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 1985, it has 
     never permitted the unfettered international inspection of 
     its nuclear facilities that is required of all signatories of 
     that Treaty;
       (7) the Secretary of Defense has stated publicly that 
     efforts by the North Korean regime to develop enough 
     plutonium to permit the manufacture of 10 to 12 nuclear 
     weapons per year, and to develop the ballistic missile 
     capacity of delivering these and other weapons over a wide 
     area, represent a grave threat to the security of the Korean 
     peninsula and the entire world;
       (8) the North Korean regime continues to resist efforts by 
     the United States to reduce tensions on the Korean peninsula;
       (9) efforts in recent years by the United States to reduce 
     tensions on the Korean peninsula have included the withdrawal 
     of all nuclear weapons from the territory of the Republic of 
     Korea and a reduction in the number of United States military 
     personnel stationed there, the postponement of the 1994 
     ``Team Spirit'' exercises, the establishment of direct 
     diplomatic contacts with the North Korean regime, and the 
     offer of expanded diplomatic and economic contacts with North 
     Korea;
       (10) weapons-grade plutonium can be extracted from the fuel 
     rods in the type of nuclear facilities North Korea is known 
     to possess;
       (11) international inspectors must be permitted to examine 
     all spent fuel rods removed from North Korea's principal 
     nuclear reactor at Yongbyon and to carry out tests necessary 
     to ensure compliance with the 1992 safeguards agreement; and
       (12) the diplomatic impasse concerning the North Korean 
     nuclear program has clearly reached a critical juncture, the 
     unsatisfactory resolution of which would place the 
     international nonproliferation regime in jeopardy and 
     threaten the peace and security of the Korean peninsula, the 
     Northeast Asia region, and, by extension, the rest of the 
     world.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the North Korean regime should take an initial step 
     toward cooperation with the international nonproliferation 
     regime by permitting the unfettered international inspection 
     of the removal and eventual disposal of all spent fuel rods 
     from the Yongbyon nuclear complex, followed by a 
     comprehensive inspection process as required by the Treaty on 
     the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons;
       (2) an unsatisfactory resolution of the inspection 
     controversy at Yongbyon that allows for anything less than 
     unfettered international inspection of facilities in that 
     complex should prompt the Government of the United States to 
     take such action as would indicate the severity with which it 
     views this provocation against international norms; and
       (3) such action should include, but not necessarily be 
     limited to, the seeking of international sanctions against 
     the North Korean regime and the rescheduling of the ``Team 
     Spirit'' exercises for 1994.

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

Para. 58.20  recorded vote

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

       At the end of title X (page 277, after line 2), insert the 
     following new section:

     SEC. . CONGRESSIONAL ACTION ON NEGOTIATION OF LIMITATIONS ON 
                   NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTING.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) On January 25, 1994, the United States joined with 37 
     other nations to begin negotiations for a comprehensive 
     treaty to ban permanently all nuclear weapons testing.
       (2) On March 14, 1994, the President decided to extend the 
     current United States nuclear testing moratorium at least 
     through September 1995.
       (3) The United States is seeking to extend indefinitely the 
     Non-Proliferation Treaty at the April 1995 NPT Extension 
     Conference.
       (4) Conclusion of a comprehensive test ban treaty could 
     contribute toward successful negotiations to extend the Non-
     Proliferation Treaty.
       (5) Agreements to eliminate nuclear testing and control the 
     spread of nuclear weapons could contribute to the national 
     security of the United States, its allies, and other nations 
     around the world.
       (b) Congressional Action.--In view of the findings set 
     forth in subsection (a), the Congress--
       (1) applaudes the President for maintaining the United 
     States nuclear testing moratorium and for taking a leadership 
     role toward negotiation of a comprehensive test ban treaty;
       (2) encourages all nuclear powers to refrain from 
     conducting nuclear explosions, prior to conclusion of a 
     comprehensive test ban treaty; and
       (3) urges the Conference on Disarmament to make all 
     possible progress toward a comprehensive test ban treaty by 
     the end of 1994.

Para. 58.24  recorded vote

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

       At the end of Title X (page 277, after line 2), insert the 
     following new section:

     SEC.  . NUCLEAR COOPERATION.

       (a) In General--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
     President should suspend any programmatic consent given under 
     a nuclear cooperation agreement for the use of special 
     nuclear material subject to such agreement at any facility at 
     which accounting discrepancies do not permit the 
     International Atomic Energy Agency to determine with its 
     required level of confidence that a significant quantity of 
     special nuclear material has not been diverted from the 
     facility. Such suspension should remain in effect until such 
     time as the International Atomic Energy Agency determines 
     that such discrepancies and uncertainties have been resolved 
     and operational problems at the facility have been corrected 
     to permit the Agency to detect a diversion of a significant 
     quantity of special nuclear material from the facility with 
     the required level of confidence.
       (b) Limitation--The suspension called for in subsection (a) 
     need not be carried out if operation of the facility in 
     question is voluntarily suspended until such time as the 
     Agency is able to detect a diversion as specified in that 
     subsection.
       (c) Reporting--Not later than 90 days after enactment of 
     this section, the President shall submit a report to the 
     Congress which (i) describes the actions taken by the 
     President pursuant to this section, (ii) states whether the 
     conditions for lifting the suspension called for in 
     subsection (a) have been met, and (iii) provides an 
     assessment of the risks of both national and subnational 
     diversion of special nuclear material at the facility under 
     circumstances where such conditions have not been met. If, 
     within such period, the conditions for lifting the suspension 
     have not been satisfied, the President shall, every 90 days 
     thereafter, and until such time as the conditions are 
     satisfied, report to the Congress concerning the progress 
     made toward achieving this objective.

  After some further time,

Para. 58.26  recorded vote

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

       At the end of title X (page 277, after line 2), insert the 
     following new section:

     SEC. 1038. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON READINESS OF 
                   MILITARY FORCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Under existing treaties and security arrangements 
     between the United States and the Republic of Korea, 
     responsibility for the defense of the territory of the 
     Republic of Korea is allocated so that the Republic of Korea 
     has primary responsibility for the ground defense of its 
     territory and the United States has primary responsibility 
     for air and sea defense of the Korean peninsula and for 
     reinforcement.
       (2) The Force Improvement Program of the Republic of Korea 
     has not addressed critical shortfalls in its ground force 
     capability which continue to exist even though the Republic 
     of Korea spends approximately $12,000,000,000 annually on 
     defense while the Democratic People's Republic of Korea 
     spends approximately $4,000,000,000 annually on defense. The 
     Republic of Korea has diverted substantial defense resources 
     to procuring submarines, destroyers, advanced aircraft, and 
     other military systems that are marginal to its primary 
     ground defense responsibility.
       (3) The defense acquisition decisions of the Republic of 
     Korea have had the effect of not allowing the Republic of 
     Korea to attain self-sufficiency in its ground defense 
     responsibility. As a result, there exists an undue burden on 
     the United States for the ground defense of the Korean 
     peninsula.
       (4) The lack of intelligence capability to forecast the 
     military intentions of the Democratic People's Republic of 
     Korea represents a major deficiency of the combined United 
     States-Republic of Korea military force.
       (5) A short-warning attack by the Democratic People's 
     Republic of Korea would cause major losses to the combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea ground force.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the President should urge the Republic of Korea to 
     improve its military ground forces with emphasis on 
     counterartillery capabilities, defense against ballistic 
     missiles and weapons of mass destruction, combined United 
     States-Republic of Korea logistics capabilities, combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea medical support, and combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea strategic and tactical 
     intelligence capabilities.
       (c) Report.--Not later than December 1, 1994, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and House of Representatives a report, in 
     classified form, on--
       (1) the readiness of the military forces of the Republic of 
     Korea to defeat an attack by the military forces of the 
     Democratic People's Republic of Korea; and
       (2) the adequacy of the defense acquisition strategy of the 
     Republic of Korea to meet its primary ground defense mission.

Para. 59.7  recorded vote

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

       Page 308, after line 24, insert the following new title:

             Title XII--Bosnia and Herzegovina Self-Defense

     SEC. 1201. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Bosnia and Herzegovina 
     Self-Defense Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 1202. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) For the reasons stated in section 520 of the Foreign 
     Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995 
     (Public Law 103-236), the Congress has found that continued 
     application of an international arms embargo to the 
     Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina contravenes that 
     Government's inherent right of individual or collective self-
     defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and 
     therefore is inconsistent with international law.
       (2) Before deploying United States Armed Forces to defend 
     the territorial integrity and political independence of 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina, or to enforce United Nations mandates 
     in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United States should seek to 
     permit the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to obtain the 
     means necessary to exercise its inherent right of self-
     defense.

     SEC. 1203. TERMINATION OF ARMS EMBARGO.

       (a) Termination.--The President shall terminate the United 
     States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina upon receipt from that Government of a request 
     for assistance in exercising its right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (b) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``United 
     States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina'' means the application to the Government of 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina of--
       (1) the policy adopted July 10, 1991, and published in the 
     Federal Register of July 19, 1991 (58 F.R. 33322) under the 
     heading ``Suspension of Munitions Export Licenses to 
     Yugoslavia''; and
       (2) any similar policy being applied by the United States 
     Government as of the date of receipt of the request described 
     in subsection (a) pursuant to which approval is denied for 
     transfers of defense articles and defense services to the 
     former Yugoslavia.

     SEC. 1204. PROVISION OF UNITED STATES MILITARY ASSISTANCE.

       (a) Policy.--The President should provide appropriate 
     military assistance to the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina upon receipt from that Government of a request 
     for assistance in exercising its right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (b) Authorization of Military Assistance.--
       (1) Drawdown authority.--If the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina requests United States assistance in exercising 
     its right of self-defense under Article 51 of the United 
     Nations Charter, the President is authorized to direct the 
     drawdown of defense articles from the stocks of the 
     Department of Defense, defense services of the Department of 
     Defense, and military education and training in order to 
     provide assistance to the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina. Such assistance shall be provided on such terms 
     and conditions as the President may determine.
       (2) Limitation on value of transfers.--The aggregate value 
     (as defined in section 664(m) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
     of 1961) of defense articles, defense services, and military 
     education and training provided under this subsection may not 
     exceed $200,000,000.
       (3) Expiration of authorization.--The authority provides to 
     the President in paragraph (1) expires at the end of fiscal 
     year 1995.
       (4) Limitation on activities.--Members of the United States 
     Armed Forces who perform defense services or provide military 
     education and training outside the United States under this 
     subsection may not perform any duties of a combatant nature, 
     including any duties related to training and advising that 
     may engage them in combat activities.
       (5) Reports to congress.--Within 60 days after any exercise 
     of the authority of paragraph (1) and every 60 days 
     thereafter, the President shall report in writing to the 
     Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro 
     tempore of the Senate concerning the defense articles, 
     defense services, and military education and training being 
     provided and the use made of such articles, services, and 
     education and training.
       (6) Reimbursement.--(A) Defense articles, defense services, 
     and military education and training provided under this 
     subsection shall be made available without reimbursement to 
     the Department of Defense except to the extent that funds are 
     appropriated pursuant to subparagraph (B).
       (B) There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
     President such sums as may be necessary to reimburse the 
     applicable appropriation, fund, or account for the value (as 
     defined in section 664(m) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
     1961) of defense articles, defense services, or military 
     education and training provided under this subsection.

     SEC. 1201. PURPOSE OF UNITED STATES EFFORTS.

       The focus of United States bilateral and multilateral

     Treaty Organization (NATO) and the United Nations Security 
     Council and pursuant to the Security Council's authority to

  So the amendment was not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, assumed the Chair.
  When Mrs. KENNELLY, Acting Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 431, 
reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the 
Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  Mr. DELLUMS demanded a separate vote on the amendment on page 277, 
line 2 (the Goss amendment).
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to the following amendment on which a separate 
vote had been demanded?

       At the end of title X (page 277, after line 2), add the 
     following:

     SEC. 1038. UNITED STATES POLICY ON HAITI.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the 1990 presidential election in Haiti was deemed to 
     be both free and democratic;
       (2) a military coup toppled the duly elected government in 
     1991;
       (3) the process to restore democratic rule in Haiti agreed 
     to at Governor's Island has stalled;
       (4) the economic crisis in Haiti is worsening; and
       (5) the people of Haiti are preparing in mass numbers to 
     leave their country to seek economic and political refuge 
     overseas.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
       (1) that the United States should not undertake any 
     military action directed against the mainland of Haiti unless 
     the President first certifies to Congress that a clear and 
     present danger to citizens of the United States or United 
     States interests requires such action; and
       (2) that the United States should work with the 
     Organization of American States and the United Nations--
       (A) to establish a temporary safe haven on the Haitian 
     island of Ile de la Gonave for Haitian refugees escaping 
     economic and political hardship on the mainland of Haiti;
       (B) to assist in providing humanitarian assistance and visa 
     processing for such refugees in such safe haven; and
       (C) to assist the legitimate Haitian government in 
     establishing the long-term stability of democracy in Haiti.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. KYL 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.

It was decided in the

                   Subtitle C--Depot-Level Activities

     SEC. 321. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) By providing 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, the 
     depot-level maintenance and repair activities of the 
     Department of Defense play an essential role in maintaining 
     the readiness of the Armed Forces.
       (2) The consolidation of entities within the defense 
     industry has jeopardized the capability of the defense 
     industry to perform maintenance and repair of weapon systems 
     and equipment.
       (3) The defense industry maintains not less than 60 percent 
     of the total capability to perform maintenance and repair of 
     weapon systems and equipment.
       (4) The capability of the depot-level maintenance and 
     repair activities of the Department of Defense to perform 
     maintenance and repair of weapon systems and equipment should 
     not be determined by policies established by the defense 
     industry.
       (5) Reductions in the number of civilian employees of the 
     depot-level maintenance and repair activities of the 
     Department of Defense may account for approximately 80 
     percent of all reductions in the coming years in the number 
     of civilian employees of the Department.
       (6) An increase from one fiscal year to the next in the 
     amount of funds available for the maintenance and repair of 
     weapon systems and equipment does not necessarily result in a 
     corresponding increase in the performance of such maintenance 
     and repair.

     SEC. 322. MODIFICATION OF LIMITATION ON PERFORMANCE OF DEPOT-
                   LEVEL MAINTENANCE.

       (a) Modification.--Subsection (a) of section 2466 of title 
     10, United States Code, is amended to read as follows:

     the funds made available in a fiscal year to a military 
     department or a Defense Agency for depot-level maintenance 
     and repair workload may be used to contract for the 
     performance by non-Federal Government personnel of such 
     workload for the military department or the Defense Agency. 
     Any such funds that are not used for such a contract shall be 
     used for the performance of depot-level maintenance and 
     repair workload by employees of the Department of Defense.''.
       (b) Inclusion of Repair Activities.--Subsection (b) of such 
     section is amended by inserting ``and repair'' after 
     ``maintenance'' each place it appears.
       (c) Computation of Percentage.--Such section is further 
     amended--
       (1) by redesignating subsections (d) and (e) as subsections 
     (e) and (f), respectively; and
       (2) by inserting after subsection (c) the following new 
     subsection (d):
       ``(d) Computation of Percentage.--In computing for purposes 
     of subsection (a) the percentage of funds referred to in that 
     subsection that are used to contract for the performance of 
     depot-level maintenance and repair workload, the Secretary of 
     the military department, or in the case of a Defense Agency, 
     the Secretary of Defense shall include in the computation any 
     funds provided for the performance by such personnel of the 
     following:
       ``(1) Interim contractor support.
       ``(2) Contract logistic support.
       ``(3) Maintenance and repair workload above the unit level.

     follows:

     Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Congress a report 
     describing the progress during the preceding fiscal year by 
     each military department and Defense Agency to achieve and

     required to be performed by employees of the Department of 
     Defense pursuant to subsection (a).''.

       ``The Secretary of Defense shall audit contracts entered 
     into by the Department of Defense for the performance of

     SEC. 529. PROGRAMS RELATED TO DESERT STORM MYSTERY ILLNESS.

       (a) Outreach Program to Persian Gulf Veterans and 
     Families.--The Secretary of Defense shall institute a 
     comprehensive outreach program to inform members of the Armed 
     Forces who served in the Southwest Asia theater of operations 
     during the Persian Gulf Conflict, and the families of such 
     members, of illnesses that may result from such service. The 
     program shall be carried out through both medical and command 
     channels, as well as any other means the Secretary considers 
     appropriate. Under the program, the Secretary shall--
       (1) inform such individuals regarding--
       (A) common disease symptoms reported by Persian Gulf 
     veterans that may be due to service in the Southwest Asia 
     theater of operations;
       (B) blood donation policy;
       (C) available counseling and medical care for such members; 
     and
       (D) possible health risks to children of Persian Gulf 
     veterans;
       (2) inform such individuals of the procedures for 
     registering in either the Persian Gulf Veterans Health 
     Surveillance System of the Department of Defense or the 
     Persian Gulf War Health Registry of the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs; and
       (3) encourage such members to report any symptoms they may 
     have and to register in the appropriate health surveillance 
     registry.
       (b) Incentives to Persian Gulf Veterans To Register.--In 
     order to encourage Persian Gulf veterans to register any 
     symptoms they may have in one of the existing health 
     registries, the Secretary of Defense shall provide the 
     following:
       (1) For any Persian Gulf veteran who is on active duty and 
     who registers with the Department of Defense's Persian Gulf 
     War Veterans Health Surveillance System, a full medical 
     evaluation and any required medical care.
       (2) For any Persian Gulf War veteran who is, as of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, a member of a reserve 
     component, opportunity to register at a military medical 
     facility in the Persian Gulf Veterans Health Care 
     Surveillance System and, in the case of a Reserve who 
     registers in that registry, a full medical evaluation by the 
     Department of Defense. Depending on the results of the 
     evaluation and on eligibility status, reserve personnel may 
     be provided medical care by the Department of Defense.
       (3) For a Persian Gulf veteran who is not, as of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, on active duty or a member of a 
     reserve component, assistance and information at a military 
     medical facility on registering with the Persian Gulf War 
     Registry of the Department of Veterans Affairs and 
     information related to support services provided by the 
     Department of Veterans Affairs.
       (c) Compatability of Department of Defense and Department 
     of Veterans Affairs Registries.--The Secretary of Defense 
     shall ensure that the Department of Defense Persian Gulf 
     Veterans Health Surveillance System register is compatible 
     with the Persian Gulf War Registry maintained by the 
     Department of Veterans Affairs and that all information on 
     individuals who register with the Department of Defense 
     system is provided to the Department of Veterans Affairs for 
     incorporation into the Persian Gulf War Registry.
       (d) Presumptions on Behalf of Service Member.--(1) A member 
     of the Armed Forces who is a Persian Gulf veteran, who has 
     symptoms of illness, and who the Secretary concerned finds 
     may have become ill as a result of serving on active duty in 
     the Southwest Asia theater of operations during the Persian 
     Gulf War shall be considered for Department of Defense 
     purposes to have become ill as a result of serving in that 
     theater of operations.
       (2) A member of the Armed Forces who is a Persian Gulf 
     veteran and who reports being ill as a result of serving on 
     active duty in the Southwest Asia theater of operations 
     during the Persian Gulf War shall be considered for 
     Department of Defense purposes to have become ill as a result 
     of serving in that theater of operations until such time as 
     the weight of medical evidence establishes other cause or 
     causes of the member's illness.
       (3) The Secretary concerned shall ensure that, for the 
     purposes of health care treatment by the Department of 
     Defense, health care and personnel administration, and 
     disability evaluation by the Department of Defense, the 
     symptoms of any member of the Armed Forces covered by 
     paragraph (1) or (2) are examined in light of the member's 
     service in the Persian Gulf War and in light of the reported 
     symptoms of other Persian Gulf veterans. The Secretary shall 
     ensure that, in providing health care diagnosis and treatment 
     of the member, a broad range of potential causes of the 
     member's symptoms are considered and that the member's 
     symptoms are considered collectively, as well as by type of 
     symptom or medical speciality, and that treatment across 
     medical specialties is coordinated appropriately.
       (4) The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the 
     presumptions of service connection and illness specified in 
     paragraphs (1) and (2) are incorporated in appropriate 
     service medical and personnel regulations and are widely 
     disseminated throughout the Department of Defense.
       (e) Revision of the Physical Evaluation Board Criteria.--
     (1) The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of Health and 
     Human Services, shall ensure that case definitions of Persian 
     Gulf related illnesses, as well as the Physical Evaluation 
     Board criteria used to set disability ratings for members no 
     longer medically qualified for continuation on active duty, 
     are established as soon as possible to permit accurate 
     disability ratings related to a diagnosis of Persian Gulf 
     illnesses.
       (2) Until revised disability criteria can be implemented 
     and members of the Armed Forces can be rated against those 
     criteria, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure--
       (A) that any member of the Armed Forces on active duty who 
     may be suffering from a Persian Gulf-related illness is 
     afforded continued military medical care; and
       (B) that any member of the Armed Forces on active duty who 
     is found by a Physical Evaluation Board to be unfit for 
     continuation on active duty as a result of a Persian Gulf-
     related illness for which the board has no rating criteria 
     (or inadequate rating criteria) for the illness or condition 
     from which the member suffers is placed on the temporary 
     disability retired list.
       (f) Review of Records and Rerating of Previously Discharged 
     Gulf War Veterans.--(1) The Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, shall 
     ensure that a review is made of the health and personnel 
     records of each Persian Gulf veteran who before the date of 
     the enactment of this Act was discharged from active duty, or 
     was medically retired, as a result of a Physical Evaluation 
     Board process.
       (2) The review under paragraph (1) shall be carried out to 
     ensure that former Persian Gulf veterans who may have been 
     suffering from a Persian Gulf-related illness at the time of 
     discharge or retirement from active duty as a result of the 
     Physical Evaluation Board process are revaluated in 
     accordance with the criteria established in subsection (c)(1) 
     and, if appropriate, are rerated.

[[Page 1012]]

       (g) Persian Gulf Illness Medical Referral Centers.--The 
     Secretary of Defense shall evaluate the feasibility of 
     establishing one or more medical referral centers to provide 
     uniform, coordinated medical care for Persian Gulf veterans 
     on active duty who are or may be suffering from a Persian 
     Gulf-related illness. The Secretary shall submit a report on 
     such feasibility to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and House of Representatives not later than six months 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (h) Annual Report to Congress.--(1) The Secretary of 
     Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and House of Representatives an annual report on--
       (A) efforts taken and results achieved in notifying members 
     of the Armed Forces and their families as part of the 
     outreach program required by subsection (a);
       (B) efforts taken to revise the Physical Evaluation Board 
     disability rating and interim efforts to adjudicate cases 
     before the revision of the criteria; and
       (C) results of the review and rerating of previously 
     separated servicemembers.
       (2) The first report under paragraph (1) shall be submitted 
     not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act.
       (i) Persian Gulf Veteran.--For purposes of this section, a 
     Persian Gulf veteran is an individual who served on active 
     duty in the Armed Forces in the Southwest Asia theater of 
     operations during the Persian Gulf Conflict.

     SEC. 530. UPGRADE OF ARMED FORCES STAFF COLLEGE WARGAMING AND 
                   OTHER CAPABILITIES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Congress and the Department of Defense have 
     envisioned the Armed Forces Staff College as the premier 
     educational institution for joint operational planning and 
     warfighting.
       (2) The mission of the college is to educate staff officers 
     and other leaders in joint and combined operational planning 
     and warfighting in order to instill a primary commitment to 
     joint teamwork, attitudes, and perspective.
       (3) The intention of the Congress and the Department of 
     Defense is that the college be a ``hands-on'' school, 
     preparing officers for joint duty assignments through 
     extensive use of case studies and war games that focus on the 
     specifics of joint warfare and involve theaters of war set in 
     both developed and underdeveloped regions.
       (4) The inadequate wargaming capability at the college does 
     not allow for a hands-on approach, nor does the current 
     capability and associated facilities, in particular, the 
     antiquated and decaying library, support an atmosphere in 
     which students are able to develop critical thinking skills 
     and problem-solving abilities as they pertain to joint 
     operational planning and warfighting.
       (5) In order for the college to fulfill its mission to 
     educate officers in joint matters with a curriculum that is 
     hands-on from the first day of school until the last, the 
     college must be able to run war games and practical exercises 
     simultaneously whenever the curriculum dictates. To meet this 
     requirement, the college must have its own wargaming 
     facility.
       (6) Neither the Joint Warfighting Center, which Congress 
     strongly supported in Public Law 103-160, nor a proposed 
     wargaming facility for the United States Atlantic Command 
     (both of which will be located miles from the college), can 
     fulfill the unique, continuous, on-campus educational 
     requirements of the college.
       (7) Off-site facilities cannot sustain the evolution of the 
     college to fulfill its potential as a research center for 
     joint operational excellence whose faculty and advanced 
     students achieve the highest levels of ability in critical 
     thinking and problem solving regarding joint matters and, as 
     a consequence, are capable of using wargaming, simulation, 
     and other analytical techniques to develop and evaluate 
     advanced warfighting and campaign concepts and doctrine for 
     the future employment of joint forces.
       (8) The Congress, in the joint statement of managers to 
     accompany the bill H.R. 2401 of the 103d Congress--
       (A) noted that there were ``no current Department of 
     Defense plans to upgrade the wargaming capability at the 
     Armed Forces Staff College'';
       (B) urged ``that this situation be corrected and that the 
     Department of Defense, particularly the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of the Navy, develop plans 
     for a wargaming capability at AFSC comparable to those at the 
     Army, Navy, and Air Force professional military education 
     schools''; and
       (C) stated that the conferees ``expect the Department of 
     Defense budget for fiscal year 1995 to contain a request for 
     funding to upgrade the wargaming capability at AFSC.''.
       (9) The Department of Defense budget request for fiscal 
     year 1995 did not contain a request for funding to upgrade 
     the Armed Forces Staff College wargaming capability.
       (b) Required Actions.--The Secretary of Defense shall--
       (1) upgrade the wargaming capability at the Armed Forces 
     Staff College to make that capability, at a minimum, 
     comparable to the wargaming capability at the Army, Navy, and 
     Air Force professional military education schools;
       (2) survey the other facilities and capabilities of the 
     college (in particular, the library and the classroom 
     instruction facilities) and upgrade them to make them 
     comparable to the facilities and capabilities at the Army, 
     Navy, and Air Force professional military education schools;
       (3) include a request for funding the upgrades under 
     paragraphs (1) and (2) in the Department of Defense budget 
     for fiscal year 1996; and
       (4) submit to the congressional defense committees, not 
     later than January 15, 1995, a plan for executing those 
     upgrades.

     SEC. 531. PROHIBITION ON IMPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL CHARGES OR 
                   FEES FOR ATTENDANCE AT CERTAIN ACADEMIES.

       (a) Prohibition.--Except as provided in subsection (b), no 
     charge or fee for tuition, room, or board for attendance at 
     an academy named in subsection (c) may be imposed unless the 
     charge or fee is specifically authorized by a law enacted 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (b) Exception.--The prohibition specified in subsection (a) 
     shall not apply with respect to any item or service provided 
     to cadets or midshipmen at an academy named in subsection (c) 
     for which a charge or fee is imposed as of the date of the 
     enactment of this Act. The Secretary of Defense or the 
     Secretary of Transportation, as the case shall be, shall 
     notify the Congress of any change made by an academy in the 
     amount of a charge or fee authorized under this subsection.
       (c) Covered Academies.--This section applies to the 
     following:
       (1) The United States Military Academy.
       (2) The United States Naval Academy.
       (3) The United States Air Force Academy.
       (4) The United States Coast Guard Academy.
       (5) The United States Merchant Marine Academy.

     SEC. 532. AUTHORIZATION FOR INSTRUCTION OF CIVILIAN STUDENTS 
                   AT FOREIGN LANGUAGE CENTER OF THE DEFENSE 
                   LANGUAGE INSTITUTE.

       (a) Admission of Civilians as Students.--(1) The Secretary 
     of the Army may enter into an agreement with an accredited 
     institution of higher education (or a consortium of such 
     institutions) under which students enrolled at an institution 
     of higher education that is a party to the agreement may 
     receive instruction at the Foreign Language Center of the 
     Defense Language Institute on a cost-reimbursable, space-
     available basis.
       (2) The Secretary may also permit other persons who would 
     benefit from the instruction provided at the Center, as 
     determined by the Secretary, to receive instruction at the 
     Center on a cost-reimbursable, space-available basis.
       (b) Selection and Attendance.--(1) The Secretary shall 
     select the persons who will be permitted to receive 
     instruction at the Center pursuant to subsection (a). In the 
     case of agreements under subsection (a)(1), the Secretary 
     shall consult with the other parties to the agreements to 
     establish qualifications and methods of selection for persons 
     to receive instruction at the Center.
       (2) Except as the Secretary determines necessary, a person 
     who receives instruction at the Center pursuant to subsection 
     (a) shall be subject to the same regulations governing 
     attendance, discipline, discharge, and dismissal as apply to 
     other persons attending the Center.
       (c) Retention of Funds.--Amounts collected under subsection 
     (a) to reimburse the Center for the costs of providing 
     instruction to students under subsection (a) shall be 
     credited to funds available for compensation of instructors 
     at the Center and to defray direct civilian student costs to 
     the school.
       (d) Center Defined.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``Center'' means the Foreign Language Center of the Defense 
     Language Institute.
       (e) Expiration of Authority.--No student may be admitted to 
     the Center under subsection (a) to commence classes beginning 
     after September 30, 1997.

     SEC. 533. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT 
                   OF DEFENSE FORCE STRUCTURE THROUGH 1997.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States has commited itself to fight and win 
     two Persian Gulf-type regional wars almost simultaneously. 
     Both the Bush and Clinton administrations have embraced the 
     so-called ``win/win'' strategy which requires sizing the 
     military for two major regional conflicts.
       (2) The involvement of the United States in relief efforts 
     in Somalia, the continued involvement of the United States in 
     Bosnia, and the possible need for military action in Korea 
     reaffirm the importance of a sufficient-sized military to 
     deter aggression and enforce America's interests abroad.
       (3) The United States military will be called upon in the 
     future to perform an increasing number of humanitarian and 
     relief missions, causing increased strain on the resources of 
     the Armed Forces.
       (4) The United States military force structure has shrunk 
     dramatically since the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Critical 
     force enhancements which will not be deployed for several 
     years are needed to achieve decisive victory in major 
     regional conflicts.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in 
     subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) through 1997 the United States should have--
       (A) not less than 520,000 personnel in the active forces of 
     the Army;

[[Page 1013]]

       (B) not less than 11 active aircraft carriers and one 
     reserve aircraft carrier in the Navy;
       (C) not less than 20 active and reserve fighter wings in 
     the Air Force; and
       (D) not less than 174,000 personnel in the active forces of 
     the Marine Corps;
       (2) funding for national defense for fiscal years 1995 
     through 1997 should be established at a level sufficient to 
     support the force structure described in paragraph (1) and to 
     ensure that the United States does not have a hollow force; 
     and
       (3) the force structure described in paragraph (1) 
     represents the minimum level which should be maintained, but 
     the President should be willing to increase defense spending 
     to meet new or existing threats.

     SEC. 534. DISCHARGE OF MEMBERS WHO ARE PERMANENTLY 
                   NONWORLDWIDE ASSIGNABLE.

       (a) In General.--(1) Chapter 59 of title 10, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     section:

     ``Sec. 1177. Members who are permanently nonworldwide 
       assignable: mandatory discharge or retirement; counseling

       ``(a) Required Separation.--A member of the armed forces 
     who is classified as permanently nonworldwide assignable due 
     to a medical condition shall (except as provided in 
     subsection (c)) be separated unless the Secretary concerned 
     determines that the retention of permanently nonworldwide 
     assignable service members would not adversely affect the 
     ability of the service to carry out its mission. Such 
     separation shall be made on a date determined by the 
     Secretary concerned, which (except as provided in subsection 
     (b)(2)) shall be as soon as practicable after the date on 
     which the determination is made that the member should be so 
     classified and not later than the last day of the twelfth 
     month beginning after that date.
       ``(b) Form of Separation.--(1) If a member to be separated 
     under this section is eligible to retire under any provision 
     of law or to be transferred to the Fleet Reserve or Fleet 
     Marine Corps Reserve, the member shall be so retired or so 
     transferred. Otherwise, the member shall be discharged.
       ``(2) In the case of a member to be discharged under this 
     section who on the date on which the member is to be 
     discharged is within two years of qualifying for retirement 
     under any provison of law, or of qualifying for transfer to 
     the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve under section 
     6330 of this title, the member may, as determined by the 
     Secretary concerned, be retained on active duty until the 
     member is qualified for retirement or transfer to the Fleet 
     Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve, as the case may be, 
     and then be so retired or transferred, unless the member is 
     sooner retired or discharged under any other provision of 
     law.
       ``(c) Exceptions.--The Secretary concerned may waive 
     subsection (a) with respect to an individual member of the 
     armed forces under the jurisdiction of that Secretary if the 
     Secretary determines that there are circumstances that 
     warrant the retention of that member. Such circumstances may 
     include--
       ``(1) consideration that the medical condition making the 
     member permanently nonworldwide assignable was incurred in 
     combat or otherwise as the result of an action of the member 
     for which the member received a decoration or other 
     recognition for personal bravery;
       ``(2) consideration that the member has a specific

                   IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.

       (a) Allowance Required.--(1) Chapter 7 of title 37 is 
     amended by inserting after section 403a the following new 
     section:

     ``Sec. 403b. Cost-of-living allowance in the continental

       ``(a) Members Eligible.--(1) A member of the uniformed 
     services who is assigned to a high cost area in the 
     continental United States is entitled to a cost-of-living 
     allowance under this section.
       ``(2) A member who is assigned to an unaccompanied tour of 
     duty outside the continental United States is entitled to a 
     cost-of-living allowance under this section if the dependents 
     of the member reside in a high cost area in the continental 
     United States.
       ``(3) A member who is assigned to duty in the continental 
     United States and whose dependents, due to the duty location 
     or other circumstances, must reside in a high cost area in 
     the continental United States, may be paid a cost-of-living 
     allowance under this section based on the area where the 
     dependents reside if it would be inequitable to base the 
     allowance on the duty location of the member.
       ``(b) Exceptions or Conditions.--(1) A member of the 
     uniformed services who is otherwise entitled to a cost-of-
     living allowance under this section is not entitled to the 
     allowance for the number of days during which travel is 
     authorized while changing permanent duty stations.
       ``(2) A member of a reserve component is not entitled to a 
     cost-of-living allowance under this section unless the member 
     is on active duty under a call or order that specifies a tour 
     of active duty of 140 days or more or states that the active 
     duty is in support of a contingency operation.
       ``(c) Annual Allowance Threshold.--Based on the amount of 
     funds available for a fiscal year to provide cost-of-living 
     allowances under this section, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     establish annually an allowance threshold to represent the 
     percentage by which the cost of living of an area must exceed 
     the national average cost of living in order to qualify the 
     area as a high cost area for payment of the cost-of-living 
     allowance to members of the uniformed services described in 
     subsection (a). However, the allowance threshold for a fiscal 
     year may not be less than 1.05 nor more than 1.08.
       ``(d) Determination of National and Area Cost of Livings.--
     (1) The Secretary of Defense shall establish the cost-of-
     living allowance for a fiscal year by using the Consumer 
     Price Index (as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
     of the Department of Labor) or by using a comparable index 
     developed in the private sector to determine a national 
     average cost of living and the cost of living for various 
     areas in the continental United States. To determine the cost 
     of living of members of the uniformed services, the Secretary 
     shall consider nonhousing costs (such as transportation, 
     goods, and services) incurred by members of the uniformed 
     services and average income tax paid by such members. The 
     Secretary shall reduce the amounts determined to exclude cost 
     savings attributable to military facilities (such as 
     commissary, military exchange, and military health care 
     benefits) and any military subsistence allowance.
       ``(e) Allowance Factor.--The factor used in a particular 
     high cost area to calculate the amount of the cost-of-living 
     allowance for a fiscal year for members of the uniformed 
     services described in subsection (a) shall be equal to the 
     difference between--
       ``(1) the cost of living for the high cost area divided by 
     the national average cost of living; and
       ``(2) the allowance threshold established under subsection 
     (c) for that year.
       ``(f) Amount of Allowance.--The cost-of-living allowance of 
     a member of the uniformed services described in subsection 
     (a) who is covered by a particular high cost area is equal to 
     the product of the basic pay of the member and the allowance 
     factor for that high cost area determined under subsection 
     (e). The Secretary shall adjust the amount determined to 
     maintain after-tax purchasing power of the allowance.
       ``(g) Definitions.--In this section--
       ``(1) the term `high cost area' means an area in the 
     continental United States in which the cost of living, with 
     respect to a particular fiscal year, exceeds the national 
     average cost of living by a percentage greater than the 
     allowance threshold established for that fiscal year under 
     subsection (c); and
       ``(2) the term `continental United States' means the 48 
     contiguous States and the District of Columbia.''.
       (2) The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 7 of 
     title 37, United States Code, is amended by inserting after

     title 37, United States Code, as added by subsection (a), 
     before July 1, 1995.

       (2) Paragraph (1) does not apply in a case of an election 
     referred to in that paragraph that was made before the date 
     of the enactment of this Act if the participant was informed, 
     in writing, before the date of the enactment of this Act that

     institution may attend the didactic portion of the physician 
     assistant training program conducted by the Army Medical 
     Department at the Academy of Health Sciences at Fort Sam 
     Houston, Texas, in exchange for the provision of such 
     academic services by the institution as the Secretary and the 
     institution consider to be appropriate to support the 
     physician assistant training program. The Secretary shall 
     ensure that the Army Medical Department does not incur any 
     additional costs as a result of the agreement than the 
     Department would incur to obtain academic services for the 
     physician assistant training program in the absence of the 
     agreement.
       (b) Selection of Students.--(1) Subject to paragraph (2), 
     not more than 20 civilian students per year may receive

     selection for civilian students to receive instruction at the 
     Academy. The qualifications established shall be comparable 
     to those generally required for admission to the physician 
     assistant training program at the Academy.
       (2) The Secretary shall ensure that members of the Armed 
     Forces are not denied enrollment in the physician assistant 
     training program in order to permit the attendance of 
     civilian students. The maximum annual enrollment for the 
     program may not be increased solely for the purpose of 
     permitting civilian students to attend the program.
       (c) Rules of Attendance.--Except as the Secretary 
     determines necessary, a civilian student who receives 
     instruction at the Academy pursuant to the agreement under 
     subsection (a) shall be subject to the same regulations 
     governing attendance, discipline, discharge, and dismissal as 
     apply to military students attending the Academy.
       (d) Term and Termination of Agreement.--The term of the 
     agreement entered into under subsection (a) may not extend 
     beyond September 30, 1997. Either party to the agreement may 
     terminate the agreement at any time before that date.
       (e) Report.--For each year in which the agreement under 
     subsection (a) is in effect, the Secretary shall submit to 
     Congress a report specifying the number of civilian students 
     who received instruction at the Academy under the agreement

     read as follows:

     ``Sec. 2301. Congressional defense procurement policy

       ``(a) The Congress finds that in order to ensure national 
     defense preparedness; conserve

[[Page 1018]]

     fiscal resources; enhance science and technology, research 
     and development, and production capability; provide for 
     continued development and preservation of an efficient and 
     responsive defense industrial base; and ensure the financial 
     and ethical integrity of defense procurement programs, it is 
     in the interest of the United States that property and 
     services be acquired for the Department of Defense in the 
     most timely, economic, and efficient manner consistent with 
     achieving an optimum balance among efficient processes, full 
     and open access to the procurement system, and sound 
     implementation of socioeconomic policies. It is therefore the 
     policy of Congress that--
       ``(1) full and open competitive procedures shall be used by 
     the Department of Defense in accordance with the requirements 
     of this chapter;
       ``(2) to the maximum extent practicable, the Department of 
     Defense shall acquire commercial items to meet its needs and 
     shall require prime contractors and subcontractors, at all 
     levels, which furnish other than commercial items, to 
     incorporate to the maximum extent practicable commercial 
     items as components of items being supplied to the 
     Department;
       ``(3) when commercial items and components are not 
     available, practicable, or cost effective, the Department of 
     Defense shall acquire, and shall require prime contractors 
     and subcontractors to incorporate, nondevelopmental items and 
     components to the maximum extent practicable;
       ``(4) property and services for the Department of Defense 
     may be acquired by any kind of contract, other than cost-
     plus-a-percentage-of-cost contracts, but including multiyear 
     contracts, that will promote the interest of the United 
     States and will provide for appropriate allocation of risk 
     between the Government and the contractor with due regard to 
     the nature of the property or services to be acquired;
       ``(5) contracts, when appropriate, shall provide incentives 
     to contractors to improve productivity through investment in 
     capital facilities, equipment, flexible manufacturing 
     processes, and advanced and dual-use technology;
       ``(6) contracts for advance procurement of components, 
     parts, and materials necessary for manufacture or for 
     logistics support of a weapon system should, if practicable, 
     be entered into in a manner to achieve economic-lot purchases 
     and more efficient production rates;
       ``(7) procurement protests and disputes shall be fairly and 
     expeditiously resolved through uniform interpretation of 
     relevant laws and regulations;
       ``(8) the head of an agency shall use advance procurement 
     planning and market research and develop contract 
     requirements in such a manner as is necessary to obtain full 
     and open competition with due regard to the nature of the 
     property or services to be acquired; but may restrict 
     competitions to suppliers of commercial items to foster 
     accomplishment of the above objective; and
       ``(9) the head of an agency shall develop and maintain an 
     acquisition career management program to ensure a 
     professional acquisition work force in accordance with the 
     requirements of chapter 87 of this title.
       ``(b) Further, it is the policy of Congress that 
     procurement policies and procedures for the agencies named in 
     section 2303 of this title shall, in accordance with the 
     requirements of this title--
       ``(1) be issued in accordance with and conform to the 
     requirements of sections 22 and 25 of the Office of Federal 
     Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 418b and 421);
       ``(2) promote and implement the Congressional policies in 
     subsection (a) of this section and section 2 of the Office of 
     Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 401);
       ``(3) be implemented to support the requirements of such 
     agencies in time of war or national emergency as well as in 
     peacetime;
       ``(4) promote responsiveness of the procurement system to 
     agency needs by--
       ``(A) simplifying and streamlining procurement processes; 
     and
       ``(B) providing incentives to encourage contractors to take 
     actions and make recommendations that would reduce the costs 
     of property or services to be acquired;
       ``(5) facilitate the acquisition of commercial items and 
     commercial components at or based on commercial market 
     prices, without requiring contractors to change their 
     business practices; and
       ``(6) promote the acquisition and use of commercial items, 
     commercial components, and nondevelopmental items by 
     requiring descriptions of agency requirements, whenever 
     practicable, in terms of functions to be performed or 
     performance required.
       ``(c) Further, it is the policy of Congress that 20 percent 
     of the purchases and contracts entered into under this 
     chapter should be placed with small business concerns and 
     that 5 percent of the purchases and contracts entered into 
     under this chapter should be placed with concerns that are 
     small disadvantaged businesses.
       ``(d) It is also the policy of Congress that qualified 
     nonprofit agencies for the blind or severely handicapped (as 
     defined in section 2410d(b) of this title) shall be afforded 
     the maximum practicable opportunity to provide approved 
     commodities and services (as defined in such section) as

     SEC. 1035. USS INDIANAPOLIS (CA-35): GALLANTRY, SACRIFICE AND 
                   A DECISIVE MISSION TO END WW II.

       (a) The Congress finds that--
       (1) the USS INDIANAPOLIS served the people of the United 
     States with valor and distinction throughout World War Two in 
     action against enemy forces in the Pacific Theater of 
     operations from 7 December 1941 to 29 July 1945,
       (2) the fast and powerful heavy cruiser with its courageous 
     and capable crew, compiled an impressive combat record during 
     her victorious forays across the battle-torn reaches of the 
     Pacific, receiving in the process ten hard-earned Battle 
     Stars from the Aleutians to Okinawa,
       (3) this mighty ship repeatedly proved herself a swift, 
     hard-hitting weapon of our Pacific Fleet, rendering 
     invaluable service in anti-shipping, shore bombardments, 
     anti-air and invasion support roles, serving with honor and 
     great distinction as Fifth Fleet Flagship under Adm. Raymond 
     Spruance, USN, and Third Fleet Flagship under Adm. William F. 
     Halsey, USN,
        (4) this gallant ship, owing to her superior speed and 
     record of accomplishment, transported the world's first 
     operational atomic bomb to the Island of Tinian, 
     accomplishing her mission at a record average speed of 29 
     knots,
        (5) following the accomplishment of her mission, the 
     INDIANAPOLIS departed Tinian for Guam. And from Guam she 
     embarked for the Leyte Gulf where she would join with the 
     fleet assembling for the invasion of Japan. And at 0014 hours 
     on 30 July 1945, the USS INDIANAPOLIS was sunk by enemy 
     torpedo action,
       (6) of her crew of 1,198 officers and men, approximately 
     900 survived the initial torpedo

[[Page 1027]]

     attack. And, owing to the fact that her communication ability 
     had been destroyed in the attack, INDIANAPOLIS' sinking was 
     not discovered for 5 fateful days, during which the survivors 
     suffered incessant shark attacks, starvation, desperate 
     thirst, and exposure. Only 319 were rescued, and
       (7) from her participation in the earliest offensive 
     actions in the Pacific in World War II to becoming the last 
     capital ship lost in that conflict, the USS INDIANAPOLIS, and 
     her crew left an indelible imprint on our nation's struggle 
     to eventual victory. And this selfless and outstanding 
     performance of duty reflects great credit upon the ship and 
     her crew, thus upholding the very highest traditions of the 
     United States Naval Service.
       (b) Therefore, the Congress of the United States, acting on 
     behalf of the grateful people of the United States, hereby 
     recognizes the invaluable contributions of the USS 
     INDIANAPOLIS to the ending of WW II. And on the occasion of 
     the 50th Anniversary of her tragic sinking, and the 
     dedication of her National Memorial in Indianapolis on July 
     30th, 1995, the Congress hereby commends this gallant ship 
     and her crew for selfless and heroic service to the United 
     States of America.

     otherwise met the general requirements for the award of that 
     medal.
       (b) Individual Determination.--The Secretary of the 
     military department concerned should determine whether 
     individual members or former members of the Armed Forces who 
     served in El Salvador during the period beginning on January 
     1, 1981, and ending on February 1, 1992, meet the individual 
     service requirements for award of the Armed Forces

     possible after the date of the enactment of this Act.

     appropriated to the Department of Defense for operation and

     intent to make such an increase and a period of 15 days 
     elapses after the day on which the notification is received 
     by the Congress.
       (c) Allocations of Savings.--Any amounts appropriated to 
     the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1995 for the 
     purposes covered by subsection (a) that are not available to

     Weapons Stockpile.--If it is considered necessary, the 
     Secretary of Defense may transport to the nearest chemical 
     munitions stockpile storage facility that has necessary 
     permits for receiving and storing such items any chemical 
     munitions that are discovered or otherwise come within the 
     control of the Department of Defense and that do not 
     constitute part of the chemical weapons stockpile, if the 
     transportation of those munitions to that facility can be

     SEC. 1041. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE 
                   NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has served as a 
     bulwark of peace, security, and democracy for the United 
     States and the members of the alliance since 1949.
       (2) The unswerving resolve of the member states of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization to mutual defense against 
     the threat of communist aggression was central to the demise 
     of the Warsaw Pact.
       (3) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is the most 
     successful international security organization in history, 
     and is well suited to help marshal our cooperative political, 
     diplomatic, economic, and humanitarian efforts, buttressed by 
     credible military capability aimed at deterring conflict, and 
     thus contributing to international peace and security.
       (4) The threat of instability in Eastern and Central 
     Europe, as well as in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean, 
     continues to pose a fundamental challenge to the interests of 
     the member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
       (5) North Atlantic Treaty Organization assets have been 
     deployed in recent years for more than the territorial 
     defense of alliance members; and the Rome Summit of October 
     1991 adopted a new strategic concept for the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization that entertained the possibility of 
     operations beyond the alliance's self-defense area.
       (6) In Oslo in July 1992, and in Brussels in December 1992, 
     the alliance embraced the deployment of North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization forces to peacekeeping operations under the 
     auspices of the United Nations or the Conference on Security 
     and Cooperation in Europe.
       (7) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization should attempt 
     to cooperate with and seek a mandate from international 
     organizations such as the United Nations when considering 
     responses to out of area crises.
       (8) Not all members of the international community share a 
     commonality of interests that would ensure timely action by 
     the United Nations Security Council.
       (9) The security interests of the member countries of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization must not be held hostage 
     to indecision at the United Nations or a veto by a permanent 
     member of the Security Council.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) it should be the policy of the United States that the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization retains the right of 
     autonomy of action regarding missions in addition to 
     collective defense should the United Nations Security Council 
     or the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe fail 
     to act;
       (2) while it is desirable to work with other international 
     organizations and arrangements where feasible in dealing with 
     threats to the peace, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     is not an auxiliary to the United Nations or other 
     organization; and
       (3) ultimately the member states of the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization reserve the right to act in defense of 
     their vital interests independent of decisions by any 
     international organization or arrangement.

     SEC. 1043. REDUCTION OF UNITED STATES MILITARY FORCES IN 
                   EUROPE.

       (a) End Strength Reductions for Military Personnel in 
     Europe.--Notwithstanding section 1002(c)(1) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928 note), but 
     subject to subsection (d), for each of fiscal years 1996, 
     1997, 1998, and 1999, the Secretary of Defense shall reduce 
     the end strength level of members of the Armed Forces of the 
     United States assigned to permanent duty ashore in European 
     member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 
     accordance with subsection (b).
       (b) Reduction Formula.--
       (1) Application of formula.--For each percentage point that 
     the allied contribution level determined under paragraph (2) 
     is below the goal specified in subsection (c) as of the end 
     of a fiscal year, the Secretary of Defense shall reduce the 
     end strength level of members of the Armed Forces of the 
     United States assigned to permanent duty ashore in European 
     member nations of NATO by 1,000 for the next fiscal year. The 
     reduction shall be made from the end strength level in 
     effect, pursuant to section 1002(c)(1) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928 note), and 
     subsection (a) of this section (if applicable), for the 
     fiscal year in which the allied contribution level is below 
     the goal specified in subsection (c).
       (2) Allied contribution level.--To determine the allied 
     contribution level with respect to a fiscal year, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall calculate the aggregate amount of 
     nonpersonnel costs for United States military installations 
     in European member nations of NATO that are assumed during 
     that fiscal year by such nations, except that the Secretary 
     may consider only those cash and in-kind contributions by 
     such nations that replace expenditures that would otherwise 
     be made by the Secretary using funds appropriated or 
     otherwise made available in defense appropriations Acts.
       (c) Annual Goals for Force Reduction.--In continuing 
     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) and section 1401(c) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 
     107 Stat. 1824), the President is urged to seek to have 
     European member nations of NATO assume an increased share of 
     the nonpersonnel costs of United States military 
     installations in those nations in accordance with the 
     following timetable:
       (1) By September 30, 1995, 18.75 percent of such costs 
     should be assumed by those nations.
       (2) By September 30, 1996, 37.5 percent of such costs 
     should be assumed by those nations.
       (3) By September 30, 1997, 56.25 percent of such costs 
     should be assumed by those nations.
       (4) By September 30, 1998, 75 percent of such costs should 
     be assumed by those nations.
       (d) Exceptions.--
       (1) Minimum end strength authority.--Notwithstanding 
     reductions required pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary 
     of Defense may maintain an end strength of at least 25,000 
     members of the Armed Forces of the United States assigned to 
     permanent duty ashore in European member nations of NATO.
       (2) Waiver authority.--The President may waive operation of 
     this section if the President declares an emergency and 
     immediately informs the Congress of the waiver and the 
     reasons for the waiver.
       (e) Allocation of Force Reductions.--To the extent that 
     there is a reduction in end strength level for any of the 
     Armed Forces in European member nations of NATO in a fiscal 
     year pursuant to subsection (a)--
       (1) half of the reduction shall be used to make a 
     corresponding reduction in the authorized end strength level 
     for active duty personnel for such Armed Force for that 
     fiscal year; and
       (2) half of the reduction shall be used to make a 
     corresponding increase in permanent assignments or 
     deployments of forces in the United States or other nations 
     (other than European member nations of NATO) for each such 
     Armed Force for that fiscal year, as determined by the 
     Secretary of Defense.
       (f) Nonpersonnel Costs Defined.--For purposes of this 
     section, the term ``nonpersonnel costs'', with respect to 
     United States military installations in European member 
     nations of NATO, means costs for those installations other 
     than costs paid from military personnel accounts.

     SEC. 1058. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS CONCERNING THE NORTH KOREAN 
                   NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) between 1950 and 1953, the United States led a military 
     coalition that successfully repelled an invasion of the 
     Republic of Korea by the Communist regime in North Korea, at 
     a cost of more than 54,000 American lives;
       (2) the United States and the Republic of Korea ratified a 
     Mutual Security Treaty in 1954 that commits the United States 
     to helping the Republic of Korea defend itself against 
     external aggression;
       (3) approximately 37,000 United States military personnel 
     are presently stationed in the Republic of Korea;
       (4) the United States and the Republic of Korea have 
     conducted joint military exercises, code named ``Team 
     Spirit'', regularly since 1976;
       (5) the Communist regime in North Korea has built up an 
     armed force nearly twice the size of that in the Republic of 
     Korea and has never renounced the active and ongoing use of 
     force, terrorism, and subversion in its attempts to subdue 
     and subjugate the Republic of Korea;
       (6) although the North Korean regime signed the Treaty on 
     the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 1985, it has 
     never permitted the unfettered international inspection of 
     its nuclear facilities that is required of all signatories of 
     that Treaty;
       (7) the Secretary of Defense has stated publicly that 
     efforts by the North Korean regime to develop enough 
     plutonium to permit the manufacture of 10 to 12 nuclear 
     weapons per year, and to develop the ballistic missile 
     capacity of delivering these and other weapons over a wide 
     area, represent a grave threat to the security of the Korean 
     peninsula and the entire world;
       (8) the North Korean regime continues to resist efforts by 
     the United States to reduce tensions on the Korean peninsula;
       (9) efforts in recent years by the United States to reduce 
     tensions on the Korean peninsula have included the withdrawal 
     of all nuclear weapons from the territory of the Republic of 
     Korea and a reduction in the number of United States military 
     personnel stationed there, the postponement of the 1994 
     ``Team Spirit'' exercises, the establishment of direct 
     diplomatic contacts with the North Korean regime, and the 
     offer of expanded diplomatic and economic contacts with North 
     Korea;
       (10) weapons-grade plutonium can be extracted from the fuel 
     rods in the type of nuclear facilities North Korea is known 
     to possess;
       (11) international inspectors must be permitted to examine 
     all spent fuel rods removed from North Korea's principal 
     nuclear reactor at Yongbyon and to carry out tests necessary 
     to ensure compliance with the 1992 safeguards agreement; and
       (12) the diplomatic impasse concerning the North Korean 
     nuclear program has clearly reached a critical juncture, the 
     unsatisfactory resolution of which would place the 
     international nonproliferation regime in jeopardy and 
     threaten the peace and security of the Korean peninsula, the 
     Northeast Asia region, and, by extension, the rest of the 
     world.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the North Korean regime should take an initial step 
     toward cooperation with the international nonproliferation 
     regime by permitting the unfettered international inspection 
     of the removal and eventual disposal of all spent fuel rods 
     from the Yongbyon nuclear complex, followed by a 
     comprehensive inspection process as required by the Treaty on 
     the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons:
       (2) an unsatisfactory resolution of the inspection 
     controversy at Yongbyon that allows for anything less than 
     unfettered international inspection of facilities in that 
     complex should prompt the Government of the United States to 
     take such action as would indicate the severity with which it 
     views this provocation against international norms; and
       (3) such action should include, but not necessarily be 
     limited to, the seeking of international sanctions against 
     the North Korean regime and the rescheduling of the ``Team 
     Spirit'' exercises for 1994.

     SEC. 1059. CONGRESSIONAL ACTION ON NEGOTIATION OF LIMITATIONS 
                   ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTING.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) On January 25, 1994, the United States joined with 37 
     other nations to begin negotiations for a comprehensive 
     treaty to ban permanently all nuclear weapons testing.
       (2) On March 14, 1994, the President decided to extend the 
     current United States nuclear testing moratorium at least 
     through September 1995.
       (3) The United States is seeking to extend indefinitely the 
     Non-Proliferation Treaty at the April 1995 NPT Extension 
     Conference.
       (4) Conclusion of a comprehensive test ban treaty could 
     contribute toward successful negotiations to extend the Non-
     Proliferation Treaty.
       (5) Agreements to eliminate nuclear testing and control the 
     spread of nuclear weapons could contribute to the national 
     security of the United States, its allies, and other nations 
     around the world.
       (b) Congressional Action.--In view of the findings set 
     forth in subsection (a), the Congress--
       (1) applauds the President for maintaining the United 
     States nuclear testing moratorium and for taking a leadership 
     role toward negotiation of a comprehensive test ban treaty;
       (2) encourages all nuclear powers to refrain from 
     conducting nuclear explosions, prior to conclusion of a 
     comprehensive test ban treaty; and
       (3) urges the Conference on Disarmament to make all 
     possible progress toward a comprehensive test ban treaty by 
     the end of 1994.

     SEC. 1060. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON READINESS OF 
                   MILITARY FORCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Under existing treaties and security arrangements 
     between the United States and the Republic of Korea, 
     responsibility for the defense of the territory of the 
     Republic of Korea is allocated so that the Republic of Korea 
     has primary responsibility for the ground defense of its 
     territory and the United States has primary responsibility 
     for air and sea defense of the Korean peninsula and for 
     reinforcement.
       (2) The Force Improvement Program of the Republic of Korea 
     has not addressed critical shortfalls in its ground force 
     capability which continue to exist even though the Republic 
     of Korea spends approximately $12,000,000,000 annually on 
     defense while the Democratic People's Republic of Korea 
     spends approximately $4,000,000,000 annually on defense. The 
     Republic of Korea has diverted substantial defense resources 
     to procuring submarines, destroyers, advanced aircraft, and 
     other military systems that are marginal to its primary 
     ground defense responsibility.
       (3) The defense acquisition decisions of the Republic of 
     Korea have had the effect of not allowing the Republic of 
     Korea to attain self-sufficiency in its ground defense 
     responsibility. As a result, there exists an undue burden on 
     the United States for the ground defense of the Korean 
     peninsula.
       (4) The lack of intelligence capability to forecast the 
     military intentions of the Democratic People's Republic of 
     Korea represents a major deficiency of the combined United 
     States-Republic of Korea military force.
       (5) A short-warning attack by the Democratic People's 
     Republic of Korea would cause major losses to the combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea ground force.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the President should urge the Republic of Korea to 
     improve its military ground forces with emphasis on 
     counterartillery capabilities, defense against ballistic 
     missiles and weapons of mass destruction, combined United 
     States-Republic of Korea logistics capabilities, combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea medical support, and combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea strategic and tactical 
     intelligence capabilities.
       (c) Report.--Not later than December 1, 1994, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services 
     of the Senate and House of Representatives a report, in 
     classified form, on--
       (1) the readiness of the military forces of the Republic of 
     Korea to defeat an attack by the military forces of the 
     Democratic People's Republic of Korea; and
       (2) the adequacy of the defense acquisition strategy of the 
     Republic of Korea to meet its primary ground defense mission.

     such a selection board shall be reserve officers, to include 
     at least one reserve officer from each reserve component from 
     which officers are to be considered by the board. Each member

     active-status list or the active-duty list in a permanent 
     grade higher than the grade of the officers to be considered

     category who is in the same armed force as the officers under 
     consideration by the board who holds a higher grade than the 
     grade of the officers under consideration.

     Boards.--No officer may be a member of two successive 
     promotion boards convened under section 14101(a) of this 
     title for the consideration of officers of the same 
     competitive category and grade if the second of the two

     officers in the grade of captain, major, or lieutenant 
     colonel on the reserve active-status list of the Army or Air 
     Force, in a grade above first lieutenant on the reserve 
     active-status list of the Marine Corps, or in a grade above 
     lieutenant (junior grade) on the reserve active-status list 
     of the Navy, for promotion to the next higher grade from 
     below the promotion zone.

     authorized, the Secretary shall establish the number of 
     officers that may be recommended for promotion from below the 
     promotion zone in each competitive category to be considered. 
     That number may not exceed the number equal to 10 percent of 
     the maximum number of officers that the board is authorized 
     to recommend for promotion in such competitive category, 
     except that the Secretary of Defense may authorize a greater 
     number, not to exceed 15 percent of the total number of 
     officers that the board is authorized to recommend for 
     promotion, if the Secretary of Defense determines that the 
     needs of the armed force concerned so require. If the maximum 
     number determined under this paragraph is less than one, the 
     board may recommend one officer for promotion from below the 
     promotion zone.

     ``Sec. 14311. Delay of promotion: involuntary

       ``(a) Delay During Investigations and Proceedings.--(1) 
     Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the military 
     department concerned, the appointment of an officer to a 
     higher grade may be delayed if any of the following applies 
     before the date on which the appointment would otherwise be 
     made:
       ``(A) Sworn charges against the officer have been received 
     by an officer exercising general court-martial jurisdiction 
     over the officer and the charges have not been disposed of.
       ``(B) An investigation is being conducted to determine 
     whether disciplinary action of any kind should be brought 
     against the officer.
       ``(C) A board of officers has been convened under section 
     14903 of this title to review the record of the officer.
       ``(D) A criminal proceeding in a Federal or State court of 
     competent jurisdiction is pending against the officer.
       ``(2) If disciplinary action is not taken against the 
     officer, if the charges against the officer are withdrawn or 
     dismissed, if the officer is not separated by the Secretary 
     of the military department concerned as the result of having 
     been required to show cause for retention, or if the officer 
     is acquitted of the charges, as the case may be, then (unless 
     action to delay the officer's appointment to the higher grade 
     has been taken under subsection (b)) the officer shall be 
     retained on the promotion list, list of officers found 
     qualified for Federal recognition, or list of officers 
     nominated by the President to the Senate for appointment in a 
     higher reserve grade and shall, upon promotion to the next 
     higher grade, have the same date of rank, the same effective 
     date for the pay and allowances of the grade to which 
     promoted, and the same position on the reserve active-status 
     list as the officer would have had if no delay had 
     intervened, unless the Secretary concerned determines that 
     the officer was unqualified for promotion for any part of the 
     delay. If the Secretary makes such a determination, the 
     Secretary may adjust such date of rank, effective date of pay 
     and allowances, and position on the reserve active-status 
     list as the Secretary considers appropriate under the 
     circumstances.
       ``(b) Delay for Lack of Qualifications.--Under regulations 
     prescribed by the Secretary of the military department 
     concerned, the appointment of an officer to a higher grade 
     may also be delayed if there is cause to believe that the 
     officer is mentally, physically, morally, or professionally 
     unqualified

[[Page 1045]]

     to perform the duties of the grade to which selected. If the 
     Secretary concerned later determines that the officer is 
     qualified for promotion to the higher grade, the officer 
     shall be retained on the promotion list, the list of officers 
     found qualified for Federal recognition, or list of officers 
     nominated by the President to the Senate for appointment in a 
     higher reserve grade, and shall, upon promotion to that 
     grade, have the same date of rank, the same effective date 
     for pay and allowances of that grade, and the same position 
     on the reserve active-status list as the officer would have 
     had if no delay had intervened, unless the Secretary 
     concerned determines that the officer was unqualified for 
     promotion for any part of the delay. If the Secretary makes 
     such a determination, the Secretary may adjust such date of 
     rank, effective date of pay and allowances, and position on 
     the reserve active-status list as the Secretary considers 
     appropriate under the circumstances.
       ``(c) Notice to Officer.--(1) The appointment of an officer 
     to a higher grade may not be delayed under subsection (a) or 
     (b) unless the officer is given written notice of the grounds 
     for the delay. The preceding sentence does not apply if it is 
     impracticable to give the officer written notice before the 
     date on which the appointment to the higher grade would 
     otherwise take effect, but in such a case the written notice 
     shall be given as soon as practicable.
       ``(2) An officer whose promotion is delayed under 
     subsection (a) or (b) shall be given an opportunity to make a 
     written statement to the Secretary of the military department 
     concerned in response to the action taken. The Secretary 
     shall give consideration to any such statement.
       ``(d) Maximum Length of Delay in Promotion.--The 
     appointment of an officer to a higher grade may not be 
     delayed under subsection (a) or (b) for more than six months 
     after the date on which the officer would otherwise have been 
     promoted unless the Secretary concerned specifies a further 
     period of delay. An officer's appointment may not be delayed 
     more than 90 days after final action has been taken in any 
     criminal case against the officer in a Federal or State court 
     of competent jurisdiction or more than 90 days after final 
     action has been taken in any court-martial case against the 
     officer. Except for court action, a promotion may not be 
     delayed more than 18 months after the date on which the 
     officer would otherwise have been promoted.
       ``(e) Delay Because of Limitations on Officer Strength in 
     Grade or Duties to Which Assigned.--(1) Under regulations 
     prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, the promotion of a 
     reserve officer on the reserve active-status list who is 
     serving on active duty, or who is on full-time National Guard 
     duty for administration of the reserves or the National 
     Guard, to a grade to which the strength limitations of 
     section 12011 of this title apply shall be delayed if 
     necessary to ensure compliance with those strength 
     limitations. The delay shall expire when the Secretary 
     determines that the delay is no longer required to ensure 
     such compliance.
       ``(2) The promotion of an officer described in paragraph 
     (1) shall also be delayed while the officer is on duty 
     described in that paragraph unless the Secretary of the 
     military department concerned, under regulations prescribed 
     by the Secretary of Defense, determines that the duty 
     assignment of the officer requires a higher grade than the 
     grade currently held by the officer.
       ``(3) The date of rank and position on the reserve active-
     status list of a reserve officer whose promotion to or 
     Federal recognition in the next higher grade was delayed 
     under paragraph (1) or (2) solely as the result of the 
     limitations imposed under the regulations prescribed by the 
     Secretary of Defense or contained in section 12011 of this 
     title shall be the date on which the officer would have been 
     promoted to or recognized in the higher grade had such 
     limitations not existed.
       ``(4) If an officer whose promotion is delayed under 
     paragraph (1) or (2) completes the period of active duty or 
     full-time National Guard duty that the officer is required by 
     law or regulation to perform as a member of a reserve 
     component, the officer may request release from active duty 
     or full-time National Guard duty. If the request is granted, 
     the officer's promotion shall be effective upon the officer's 
     release from such duty. The date of rank and position on the 
     reserve active-status list of the officer shall be the date 
     the officer would have been promoted to or recognized in the 
     higher grade had the limitations imposed under regulations 
     prescribed by the Secretary of Defense contained in section 
     12011 of this title not existed. If an officer whose 
     promotion is delayed under paragraph (1) or (2) has not 
     completed the period of active duty or full-time National 
     Guard duty that the officer is required by law or regulation 
     to perform as a member of a reserve component, the officer 
     may be retained on active duty or on full-time National Guard 
     duty in the grade in which the officer was serving before the 
     officer's being found qualified for Federal recognition or 
     the officer's selection for the promotion until the officer 
     completes that required period of duty.

     ``Sec. 14312. Delay of promotion: voluntary

       ``(a) Authority for Voluntary Delays.--(1) The Secretary of 
     the military department concerned may, by regulation, permit 
     delays of a promotion of an officer who is recommended for 
     promotion by a mandatory selection board convened under 
     section 14101(a) or a special selection board convened under 
     section 14502 of this title at the request of the officer 
     concerned. Such delays, in the case of any promotion, may 
     extend for any period not to exceed three years from the date 
     on which the officer would otherwise be promoted.
       ``(2) Regulations under this section shall provide that--
       ``(A) a request for such a delay of promotion must be 
     submitted by the officer concerned before the delay may be 
     approved; and
       ``(B) denial of such a request shall not be considered to 
     be a failure of selection for promotion unless the officer 
     declines to accept a promotion under circumstances set forth 
     in subsection (c).

     delay of a promotion under subsection (a) is approved, the 
     officer's name shall remain on the promotion list during the 
     authorized period of delay (unless removed under any other 
     provision of law). Upon the end of the period of the 
     authorized delay, or at any time during such period, the 
     officer may accept the promotion, which shall be effective on 
     the date of acceptance. Such an acceptance of a promotion 
     shall be made in accordance with regulations prescribed under 
     this section.
       ``(c) Effect of Declining a Promotion.--An officer's name 
     shall be removed from the promotion list and, if the officer 
     is serving in a grade below colonel or, in the case of the 
     Navy, captain, the officer shall be considered to have failed 
     of selection for promotion if any of the following applies:
       ``(1) The Secretary concerned has not authorized voluntary 
     delays of promotion under subsection (a) to the grade 
     concerned and the officer declines to accept an appointment 
     to a higher grade.
       ``(2) The Secretary concerned has authorized voluntary 
     delays of promotion under subsection (a), but has denied the 
     request of the officer for a delay of promotion and the 
     officer then declines to accept an appointment to a higher 
     grade.
       ``(3) The Secretary concerned has approved the request of 
     an officer for a delay of promotion and, upon the end of the 
     period of delay authorized in accordance with regulations 
     prescribed under subsection (a), the officer then declines to 
     accept an appointment to a higher grade.

     rear admiral (lower half) if the period of time during which 
     the officer has served in that grade after promotion to that

     provided in subsection (c), an officer whose promotion to the 
     grade of brigadier general is vacated under this section 
     holds the grade of colonel as a reserve of the armed force of 
     which the officer is a member. An officer whose promotion to 
     the grade of rear admiral (lower half) is vacated under this 
     section holds the grade of captain in the Naval Reserve. Upon 
     assuming the lower grade, the officer shall have the same

     being selected for promotion by the board which should have

     Corps, or a designation in, or an assignment to, an officer 
     category in which advanced education or training is required

     the baccalaureate degree level, for persons appointed or 
     designated in, or assigned to, officer categories requiring 
     such advanced education or an advanced degree as a 
     prerequisite for such appointment, designation, or 
     assignment. In determining the number of years of 
     constructive service to be credited under this subparagraph

     concerned shall credit an officer with, but with not more 
     than, the number of years of advanced education required by a 
     majority of institutions that award degrees in that 
     professional field for completion of the advanced education 
     or award of the advanced degree.
       ``(B)(i) Credit for any period of advanced education in a 
     health profession (other than medicine and dentistry) beyond 
     the baccalaureate degree level which exceeds the basic 
     education criteria for such appointment, designation, or 
     assignment, if such advanced education will be directly used 
     by the armed force concerned.
       ``(ii) Credit for experience in a health profession (other 
     than medicine or dentistry), if such experience will be 
     directly used by the armed force concerned.

     internship or equivalent graduate medical, dental, or other 
     formal health professional training required by the armed 
     forces, and (ii) not more than one year for each additional 
     year of such graduate-level training or experience creditable 
     toward certification in a speciality required by the armed 
     force concerned.

     in grades below major or lieutenant commander is critically 
     below the number needed by such reserve component in such 
     grades, the Secretary of Defense may authorize the Secretary

     is receiving an original appointment for service as a medical 
     or dental officer with a period of constructive credit in 
     such amount (in addition to any amount credited such person

     individual cases and under reg-

     eligible for an original appointment as a reserve officer of 
     the Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps in the grade of major or 
     as a reserve officer of the Navy in the grade of lieutenant 
     commander.

     subsection is in addition to any service credited that 
     officer under subsection (a) and shall be credited at the 
     time of the original appointment of the officer or assignment 
     to or designation in an officer category in which advanced 
     education or training or special experience is required.
       ``(c) Constructive service may not be credited under 
     subsection (b) for education, training, or experience 
     obtained while serving as a commissioned officer (other than 
     a warrant officer) on active duty or in an active status. 
     However, in the case of an officer who completes advanced 
     education or receives an advanced degree while on active duty 
     or in an active status and in less than the number of years 
     normally required to complete such advanced education or 
     receive such advanced degree, constructive service may, 
     subject to regulations prescribed under subsection (a)(2), be 
     credited to the officer under subsection (b)(1)(A) to the 
     extent that the number of years normally required to complete 
     such advanced education or receive such advanced degree 
     exceeds the actual number of years in which such advanced 
     education or degree is obtained by the officer.
       ``(d) If the Secretary of Defense determines that the 
     number of qualified judge advocates serving on the active-
     duty list of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps in 
     grades below lieutenant commander or major is critically 
     below the number needed by that armed force in those grades, 
     the Secretary of Defense may authorize the Secretary of the

     receiving an original appointment with a view to assignment 
     to the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the Army or 
     appointment to the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the 
     Navy, or who is receiving an original appointment in the Air

     being that of captain or, in the case of the Navy, 
     lieutenant, and the date of rank of such person being junior 
     to that of all other officers of the same grade serving on

     Self-Defense Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) For the reasons stated in section 520 of the Foreign 
     Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995 
     (Public Law 103-236), the Congress has found that continued 
     application of an international arms embargo to the 
     Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina contravenes that 
     Government's inherent right of individual or collective self-
     defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and 
     therefore is inconsistent with international law.
       (2) Before deploying United States Armed Forces to defend 
     the territorial integrity and political independence of 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina, or to enforce United Nations mandates 
     in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United States should seek to 
     permit the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to obtain the 
     means necessary to exercise its inherent right of self-
     defense.

     SEC. 1403. TERMINATION OF ARMS EMBARGO.

       (a) Termination.--The President shall terminate the United 
     States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina upon receipt from that Government of a request 
     for assistance in exercising its right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (b) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``United 
     States arms embargo of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina'' means the application to the Government of 
     Bosnia and Herzegovina of--
       (1) the policy adopted July 10, 1991, and published in the 
     Federal Register of July 19, 1991 (58 F.R. 33322) under the 
     heading ``Suspension of Munitions Export Licenses to 
     Yugoslavia''; and
       (2) any similar policy being applied by the United States 
     Government as of the date of receipt of the request described 
     in subsection (a) pursuant to which approval is denied for 
     transfers of defense articles and defense services to the 
     former Yugoslavia.

     SEC. 1404. PROVISION OF UNITED STATES MILITARY ASSISTANCE.

       (a) Policy.--The President should provide appropriate 
     military assistance to the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina upon receipt from that Government of a request 
     for assistance in exercising its right of self-defense under 
     Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
       (b) Authorization of Military Assistance.--
       (1) Drawdown authority.--If the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina requests United States assistance in exercising 
     its right of self-defense under Article 51 of the United 
     Nations Charter, the President is authorized to direct the 
     drawdown of defense articles from the stocks of the 
     Department of Defense, defense services of the Department of 
     Defense, and military education and training in order to 
     provide assistance to the Government of Bosnia and 
     Herzegovina. Such assistance shall be provided on such terms 
     and conditions as the President may determine.
       (2) Limitation on value of transfers.--The aggregate value 
     (as defined in section 664(m) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
     of 1961) of defense articles, defense services, and military 
     education and training provided under this subsection may not 
     exceed $200,000,000.
       (3) Expiration of authorization.--The authority provided to 
     the President in paragraph (1) expires at the end of fiscal 
     year 1995.
       (4) Limitation on activities.--Members of the United States 
     Armed Forces who perform defense services or provide military 
     education and training outside the United States under this 
     subsection may not perform any duties of a combatant nature, 
     including any duties related to training and advising that 
     may engage them in combat activities.
       (5) Reports to congress.--Within 60 days after any exercise 
     of the authority of paragraph (1) and every 60 days 
     thereafter, the President shall report in writing to the 
     Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro 
     tempore of the Senate concerning the defense articles, 
     defense services, and military education and training being 
     provided and the use made of such articles, services, and 
     education and training.
       (6) Reimbursement.--(A) Defense articles, defense services, 
     and military education and training provided under this 
     subsection shall be made available without reimbursement to 
     the Department of Defense except to the extent that funds are 
     appropriated pursuant to subparagraph (B).
       (B) There are authorized to be appropriated to the 
     President such sums as may be necessary to reimburse the 
     applicable appropriation, fund, or account for the value (as 
     defined in section 664(m) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
     1961) of defense articles, defense services, or military 
     education and training provided under this subsection.

     population of the critical target areas (as determined by the 
     Director, after consultation with the Secretary of Defense) 
     in each State, at the time of the determination, bears to the 
     total urban population of the critical target areas of all of

     program or project for the procurement, construction, or 
     leasing of any facility which (1) is intended for use, in 
     whole or in part, for any purpose other than civil defense, 
     and (2) is of such kind that upon completion it will, in the 
     judgment of the Director, be capable of producing sufficient 
     revenue to provide reasonable assurance of the retirement or 
     repayment of such cost; except that (subject to the preceding 
     sentences of this subsection) the Director may make a 
     contribution to any State toward that portion of the cost of 
     the construction, reconstruction, or enlargement of any 
     facility which the Director determines to be directly 
     attributable to the incorporation in such facility of any 
     feature of construction or design not necessary for the 
     principal intended purpose thereof but which is, in the 
     judgment of the Director necessary for the use of such 
     facility for civil defense purposes. The Director shall 
     report not less often than annually to Congress all 
     contributions made pursuant to this subsection. All laborers 
     and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors in 
     the performance of construction work financed with the 
     assistance of any contribution of Federal funds made by the 
     Director under this subsection shall be paid wages at rates 
     not less than those prevailing on similar construction in the

     any workday or 40 hours in the workweek, as the case may be. 
     The Director shall make no contribution of Federal funds 
     without first obtaining adequate assurance that these labor 
     standards will be maintained upon the construction work. The 
     Secretary of Labor shall have, with respect to the labor 
     standards specified in this subsection, the authority and 
     functions set forth in Reorganization Plan Numbered 14 of 
     1950 (5 U.S.C. App.), and section 2 of the Act of June 13, 
     1934 (40 U.S.C. 276(c)).

     facilities found by the Director to be unnecessary or 
     unsuitable for civil defense purposes in the same manner as 
     provided for excess property under the Federal Property and

     loyalty or reliability for security purposes, or if the 
     Director for any other reason shall deem it to be advisable, 
     such investigation shall be discontinued and a report thereon 
     shall be referred to the Director for evaluation in writing.

     receives direction from superior United States military 
     authorities with respect to the orders that the commander has

     United States forces are to operate.
       (G) The extent to which the United States forces involved 
     will rely on non-United States forces for security and self-
     defense and an assessment on the ability of those non-United

     States forces involved.

Para. 59.20  privileges of the house--house post office matter

  Mr. MICHEL rose to a question of the privileges of the House and 
submitted the following privileged resolution (H. Res. 450):

       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 and again on July 22, 1993;
       Whereas, the former Postmaster of the House of 
     Representatives, Robert V. Rota, from 1978 continuing until 
     April 1992 has admitted to conspiring with other persons to 
     commit offenses against the United States;
       Whereas, the former Postmaster has pled guilty to making 
     false statements to the Task Force and during interviews with 
     United States Postal Inspectors and the Congressional 
     Committee investigating the House Post Office;
       Whereas, the former Postmaster admitted to engaging in a 
     cover up of the exchange of vouchers and postage stamps for 
     cash beginning in May 1980 and continuing throughout the 
     House investigation of the post office;

[[Page 1091]]

       Whereas, the integrity of the House of Representatives has 
     been impugned by the actions of Mr. Rota and others;
       Whereas, on July 23, 1993, the House approved a privileged 
     resolution offered by the Majority Leader that stated: ``That 
     it is the sense of the House that should the United States 
     Attorney for the District of Columbia at any time inform the 
     House that he has no objection to the public release of the 
     transcripts of proceedings of the former Task Force, then the 
     House shall consider immediately the question of whether and 
     under what circumstances the transcripts of proceedings of 
     the former Task Force should be released to the public;''
       Whereas, the United States Attorney for the District of 
     Columbia has indicated in a letter to the Speaker and the 
     Minority Leader that ``in light of recent action by the Grand 
     Jury in the criminal investigation, this Office no longer 
     objects to the public release of the materials in question.'' 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House make public in printed form all 
     transcripts and other relevant documents from any House 
     Administration Committee investigation of the House Post 
     Office as soon as possible.
       Resolved, further that the Majority and Minority Leader 
     shall each designate a Member to review the materials and 
     that these materials shall be made public unless the 
     designees agree to the contrary.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. MICHEL, 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. McCLOSKEY, announced that the yeas had 
it.
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

amended by the amendment submitted by Mr. MILLER of California, agreed 
to earlier.
  Amendment submitted by Mr. THOMAS of California:

       On page 6, delete lines 13 through 22 and insert the 
     following in lieu thereof: ``(1) Certain lands in the 
     California Desert Conservation Area, the Bureau of Land 
     Management which comprise approximately seventy-four thousand 
     two hundred and fifty acres, as generally depicted on a map 
     entitled `Argus Range Wilderness--Proposed 1', dated May

  Amendment submitted by Mr. MILLER of California:

       Revise the amendment to read as follows:
       On page 6, line 24, after the period add the following:
       If at any time within 15 years after the date of enactment

     for installation of a space energy laser facility, and that 
     establishment of a right-of-way across lands within the Argus

     desirability of minimizing adverse impacts on wilderness 
     values.

Para. 60.15  message from the president--haitian property

  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:
  On October 4, 1991, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (``IEEPA'') (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and section 301 of the 
National Emergencies Act (``NEA'') (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), President 
Bush exercised his statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 
12775 of October 4, 1991, declaring a national emergency and blocking 
Haitian government property.
  On October 28, 1991, pursuant to the above authorities, President Bush 
exercised his statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12779 of 
October 28, 1991, blocking property of and prohibiting transactions with 
Haiti.
  On June 30, 1993, pursuant to the above authorities, as well as the 
United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (``UNPA'') (22 
U.S.C. 287c), I exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive 
Order No. 12853 of June 30, 1993, to impose additional economic measures 
with respect to Haiti. This latter action was taken, in part, to ensure 
that the economic measures taken by the United States with respect to 
Haiti would fulfill its obligations under United Nations Security 
Council Resolution 841 of June 16, 1993.
  On October 18, 1993, pursuant to the IEEPA and the NEA, I again 
exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12872 of 
October 18, 1993, blocking property of various persons with respect to 
Haiti.
  On May 6, 1994, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 
917, calling on Member States to take additional measures to tighten the 
embargo against Haiti. On May 7, 1994, pursuant to the above 
authorities, I exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order 
No. 12914 of May 7, 1994, to impose additional economic measures with 
respect to Haiti. On May 21, 1994, pursuant to the above authorities, I 
exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12917 of 
May 21, 1994, to impose economic measures required by Resolution 917. 
These latter actions were taken, in part, to ensure that the economic 
measures taken by the United States with respect to Haiti would fulfill 
its

[[Page 1099]]

obligations under the provisions of United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 917.
  On June 10, 1994, pursuant to the above authorities, I exercised my 
statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12920 of June 10, 1994, 
prohibiting additional transactions with Haiti.
  This new Executive order:
  --prohibits payment or transfer of funds or other assets to Haiti from 
    or through the United States or to or through the United States from 
    Haiti, with exceptions for activities of the United States 
    Government, the United Nations, the Organization of American States, 
    or foreign diplomatic missions, certain payments related to 
    humanitarian assistance in Haiti, limited family remittances, funds 
    for travel-related expenses, and payments incidental to exempt 
    shipments of food, medicine, medical supplies, and informational 
    materials;
  --prohibits the sale, supply, or exportation by United States persons 
    or from the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or 
    aircraft, of any goods, technology, or services to Haiti or in 
    connection with Haitian businesses, or activities by United States 
    persons or in the United States that promote such sale, supply, or 
    exportation, except for the sale, supply, or exportation of 
    informational materials, certain foodstuffs, and medicines and 
    medical supplies;
  --prohibits any transaction that evades or avoids or has the purpose 
    of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the 
    prohibitions of this order; and
  --authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
    Secretary of State, to issue regulations implementing the provisions 
    of the Executive order.
  The new Executive order is necessary to tighten the embargo against 
Haiti with the goal of the restoration of democracy in that nation and 
the prompt return of the legitimately elected President, Jean-Bertrand 
Aristide, under the framework of the Governors Island Agreement.
  I am providing this notice to the Congress pursuant to section 204(b) 
of the IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)) and section 301 of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 
1631). I am enclosing a copy of the Executive order that I have issued.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, June 10, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to

Para. 65.15  honoring james norman hall

  On motion of Ms. BYRNE, by unanimous consent, the Committee on Post 
Office and Civil Service was discharged from further consideration of 
the following concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 215):

       Whereas James Norman Hall, a native son of the State of 
     Iowa born in Colfax in 1887, and a graduate of Grinnell 
     College, was a decorated war hero, noted adventurer, and 
     acclaimed author, who was revered and loved in France and 
     Tahiti, and throughout the South Pacific;
       Whereas James Norman Hall exhibited an unwavering 
     commitment to freedom and democracy by volunteering for 
     military service early in World War I and by fighting 
     alongside British forces in the worst of trench warfare, 
     including the Battle of Loos, where he was one of few 
     survivors;
       Whereas James Norman Hall continued his fight for liberty 
     by becoming a pilot in the Lafayette Escadrilles, an American 
     pursuit squadron of the French Air Service, and his 
     courageous and daring feats in air battles earned him 
     France's highest medals, including the Legion d'Honneur, 
     Medaille Militaire, and Croix de Guerre with 5 Palms;
       Whereas James Norman Hall was commissioned as a Captain in 
     the United States Army Air Service when the United States 
     entered World War I, continued his legendary exploits as an 
     ace pilot, acted as wing commander and mentor for then-
     Lieutenant Eddie Rickenbacker, and was awarded the 
     Distinguished Service Cross Medal, for gallantry and bravery 
     in battle, by General Pershing;

[[Page 1126]]

       Whereas James Norman Hall sought serenity after the 
     destructiveness of World War I, moved to the South Pacific in 
     1920, married a Tahitian woman and lived in Tahiti for over 3 
     decades, and wrote a prodigious number of articles and books 
     in the library of his home in Arue, Tahiti;
       Whereas much of James Norman Hall's writing enriched the 
     world's understanding of Tahiti and the South Pacific;
       Whereas James Norman Hall coauthored, with Charles 
     Nordhoff, classic masterpieces that have come to epitomize 
     the tropics, including ``Mutiny on the Bounty'', ``Pitcairn's 
     Island'', and ``Hurricane'';
       Whereas, despite James Norman Hall's achievements as a 
     decorated war hero and famed literary figure, he remained to 
     his death a humble, self-effacing man who endeared himself to 
     the people of Tahiti with his keen sense of generosity, 
     kindness, and real concern for others, prompting James 
     Michener to state that James Norman Hall was ``the most loved 
     American who ever came to the tropics'' and that when ``he 
     died, on every island in the Pacific where even no man could 
     read, there was sorrow; and
       Whereas the home and library of James Norman Hall, in Arue, 
     Tahiti, are being restored as a museum to honor this son of 
     the State of Iowa and hero of the United States, England, 
     France, and French Polynesia: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) honors James Norman Hall and recognizes his outstanding 
     contributions to the United States, France, Tahiti, and the 
     South Pacific, including his extraordinary service rendered 
     in wartime for the defense of freedom, his outstanding 
     achievements in the literary field, and his lifework that has 
     enriched the world's understanding of the people of the South 
     Pacific; and
       (2) requests the President of the United States to provide 
     for the presentation of a copy of this concurrent resolution 
     by appropriate officials of the United States Government to 
     the President of Tahiti Nui (French Polynesia), so that it 
     may be publicly displayed at the James Norman Hall Museum in 
     Tahiti, where it will express the appreciation of the people 
     and government of the United States for the contributions of 
     James Norman Hall and will show recognition of the 
     achievements of this great son of the State of Iowa.

  When said concurrent resolution was considered and agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said concurrent resolution was 
agreed to was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said 
concurrent resolution.

Para. 65.16  leave of absence

Para. 66.27  freedom summer rememberance day

  On motion of Mr. WYNN, by unanimous consent, the Committee on Post 
Office and Civil Service and the Committee on the Judiciary were 
discharged from further consideration of the following resolution (H. 
Res. 457):

       Whereas on June 21, 1964, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and 
     Michael Schwerner gave their lives at a young age in an 
     effort to guarantee the rights that are the birthright of 
     every citizen of the United States, particularly the right to 
     vote;
       Whereas James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner 
     were part of a movement that helped to achieve the passage of 
     the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 
     and other milestones in the progress of this Nation toward 
     achieving the goal of ensuring equal rights, equal 
     opportunities and equal justice for all;
       Whereas during the 30 years after the deaths of James 
     Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, this Nation 
     has benefitted tremendously from the removal of many barriers 
     to full participation by every citizen of this nation in 
     political, educational and economic life;
       Whereas the lives and resultant deaths of James Chaney, 
     Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner have come to symbolize 
     the dream of brotherhood and sisterhood among citizens of 
     this Nation from all races, religions and ethnic backgrounds 
     and serve to inspire all citizens--in particular young 
     citizens--to be dedicated to the ideals of justice, equality, 
     citizenship and community;
       Whereas the lifework of these men and thousands of other 
     young students who traveled to Mississippi remains unfinished 
     until all barriers are removed that bar the full 
     participation of every citizen of this Nation in the 
     democratic process of this Nation, especially the electoral 
     process; and
       Whereas the Nation continues to need the leadership and 
     involvement of all its citizens, in particular the young, in 
     solving problems in their communities and improving the lives 
     of those in need: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, that it is the sense of the House of 
     Representatives that--
       (1) June 21, 1994, is designated as Freedom Summer 
     Remembrance Day;
       (2) the House of Representatives expresses the importance 
     of citizens--regardless of party, ideology, age, race, creed, 
     and socio-economic status--working to improve this Nation and 
     address issues most critical to their communities;
       (3) the Voting Rights Act of 1965 has helped to fulfill the 
     promise of democracy in this Nation; and
       (4) the House of Representatives reaffirms the goal of 
     removing remaining barriers to full voter participation in 
     this Nation.

  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. 66.29  communication from the clerk--message from the president

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

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, June 21, 1994.
     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 Tuesday, June 21, 
     1994 at 9:05 a.m. and said to contain a message from the 
     President wherein he transmits draft legislation entitled, 
     ``Work and Responsibility Act of 1994.''
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                                            Clerk.

Para. 66.30  work and responsibility

  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 ``Work and Responsibility Act of 1994.''
  It is time to end welfare as we know it and replace it with a system 
that is based on work and responsibility--a system that will help people 
help themselves. This legislation reinforces the fundamental values of 
work, responsibility, family, and community. It rewards work over 
welfare. It signals that people should not have children until they are 
ready to support them, and that parents--both parents--who bring 
children into the world must take responsibility for supporting them. It 
gives people access to the skills they need and expects work in return. 
Most important, it will give people back the dignity that comes from 
work and independence. The cost of the proposal to the Federal 
Government is estimated at $9.3 billion over 5 years and is fully 
offset, primarily through reductions in entitlements and without new tax 
increases.
  The Work and Responsibility Act of 1994 will replace welfare with 
work. Under this legislation, welfare will be about a paycheck, not a 
welfare check. Our approach is based on a simple compact designed to 
reinforce and reward work. Each recipient will be required to develop a 
personal employability

[[Page 1134]]

plan designed to move that individual into the work force as quickly as 
possible. Support, job training, and child care will be provided to help 
people move from dependence to independence. Time limits will ensure 
that anyone who can work, must work--in the private sector if possible, 
in a temporary subsidized job if necessary.
  This legislation includes several provisions aimed at creating a new 
culture of mutual responsibility. It includes provisions to promote 
parental responsibility and ensure that both parents contribute to their 
children's well-being. This legislation establishes the toughest child 
support enforcement program ever. It also includes: incentives directly 
tied to the performance of the welfare office; extensive efforts to 
detect and prevent welfare fraud; sanctions to prevent gaming of the 
welfare system; and a broad array of incentives that States can use to 
encourage responsible behavior.
  Preventing teen pregnancy and out-of-wedlock births is a critical part 
of welfare reform. To prevent welfare dependency, teenagers must get the 
message that staying in school, postponing pregnancy, and preparing to 
work are the right things to do. Our prevention approach includes a 
national campaign against teen pregnancy and a national clearinghouse on 
teen pregnancy prevention. Roughly 1,000 middle and high schools in 
disadvantaged areas will receive grants to develop innovative teen 
pregnancy prevention programs.
  The Work and Responsibility Act of 1994 proposes dramatic changes in 
our welfare system, changes so bold that they cannot be accomplished 
overnight. We can phase in these changes by focusing on young people, to 
send a clear message to the next generation that we are ending welfare 
as we know it. The bill targets resources on welfare beneficiaries born 
after December 31, 1971. This means that over time, more and more 
welfare beneficiaries will be affected by the new rules: about a third 
of the caseload in 1997, and half by the year 2000. States that want to 
phase in faster will have the option of doing so.
  The results of these changes will be far-reaching. In the year 2000, 
2.4 million adults will be subject to the new rules under welfare 
reform, including time limits and work requirements. Almost 1 million 
people will be either off welfare or working.
  But the impact of welfare reform cannot be measured in these numbers 
alone. This legislation is aimed at strengthening families and 
instilling personal responsibility by helping people help themselves. We 
owe every child in America the chance to watch their parents assume the 
responsibility and dignity of a real job. This bill is designed to make 
that possible.
  I urge the Congress to take prompt and favorable action on this 
legislation.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, June 21, 1994.

  By unanious consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, the Committee 
on Education and Labor, the Committee on Agriculture, the Committee on 
Engergy and Commerce, the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee 
on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-273).

Para. 66.31  national emergency with respect to Serbia and Montenegro

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOLDEN, 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, the President 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-Herzegovina 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 United States persons, including their overseas branches.
  Subsequently, Executive Order No. 12810 expanded U.S. actions to 
implement in the United States the United Nations sanctions against the 
FRY (S/M) adopted in United Nations Security Council Resolution 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 other cultural 
representation of, or sponsorship by, the FRY (S/M) in the United 
States.
  Executive Order No. 12810 exempted from trade restrictions (1) 
transshipments 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, the President issued Executive Order No. 12831 to 
implement new sanctions contained in United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 787 of November 16, 1992. The order revoked the exemption for 
transshipments through the FRY (S/M) contained in Executive Order No. 
12810, prohibited transactions within the United States or by a United 
States 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 stated that all such vessels shall be 
considered as vessels of the FRY (S/M), regardless of the flag under 
which they sail.
  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 820 of April 17, 1993. That resolution called on the 
Bosnian Serbs to accept the Vance-Owen peace plan for Bosnia-Herzegovina 
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 Bosnia-Herzegovina and the United 
Nations Protected Areas in Croatia. Effective April 26, 1993, the order 
blocked all property and interests in property of commercial, 
industrial, or public utility undertakings or entities organized or 
located in the FRY (S/M), including property and interests in property 
of entities--wherever organized or located--owned or controlled by such 
undertakings or entities, that are or thereafter come within the 
possession or control of United States persons.

  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 the section 204(b) of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)). The 
additional sanctions set forth in Executive Order Nos. 12810, 12831, 
and 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 (49 
U.S.C. App. 1514), and section 5 of the United Nations Participation 
Act (22 U.S.C. 287c).
  3. There have been no amendments to the Federal Republic of 
Yugoslavia

[[Page 1135]]

(Serbia and Montenegro) Sanctions Regulations (the ``Regulations''), 31 
C.F.R. Part 585, since the last report. Of the two court cases in which 
the blocking authority was challenged as applied to FRY (S/M) 
subsidiaries and vessels in the United States, the government's 
position in the case involving the blocked vessels was upheld by the 
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Supreme Court declined to review 
the decision. Milena Ship Management Co. V. Newcomb, 804 F. Supp. 859 
(E.D. La. 1992), aff'd. 995 F. 2nd 620 (5th Cir. 1993), Cert. denied -- 
U.S. --, 114 S.Ct. 877 (1994). The case involving a blocked subsidiary 
is pending a decision by the court on the government's motion for 
summary judgment.
  4. Over the past 6 months, the Departments of State and 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 for 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 114 specific 
licenses regarding transactions pertaining to the FRY (S/M) or assets 
it owns or controls, bringing the total as of April 15, 1994, to 677. 
Specific licenses have been issued (1) for 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 the liquidation or protection of 
tangible assets of 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, vessel maintenance, and emergency supplies 
for FRY (S/M)-controlled ships blocked in the United States; (8) for 
the removal from the FRY (S/M) of certain 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 Forces. Pursuant 
to regulations implementing United Nations Security Council Resolution 
757, 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 oversee the 
liquidation of tangible assets of the 15 U.S. subsidiaries of entities 
organized in the FRY (S/M). Subsequent to the issuance of Executive 
Order No. 12846, all operating licenses issued for these U.S.-located 
Serbian or Montenegrin subsidiaries or joint ventures were revoked, and 
the net proceeds of the liquidation of their assets placed in blocked 
accounts.
  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 not permitted to 
conduct normal business after June 1, 1992. The banks had been issued 
licenses to maintain a limited staff for audit purposes while full-time 
bank examiners were posted in their offices to ensure that banking 
records are appropriately safeguarded. Subsequent to the issuance of 
Executive Order No. 12846, all licenses previously issued were revoked. 
FAC is currently working with the Federal Reserve Board and the New 
York State Banking Department to resolve outstanding issues regarding 
the banks.
  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) or an entity or undertaking located in or 
controlled from the FRY (S/M). Such transfers have accounted for $58.6 
million in Yugoslav assets blocked since the issuance of Executive 
Order No. 12808, with some $22 million in funds transfers frozen during 
the past 6 months.
  To ensure compliance with the terms of the licenses that have been 
issued under the program, stringent reporting requirements are imposed. 
More than 380 submissions were reviewed since the last report and more 
than 194 compliance cases are currently open. In addition, licensed 
bank accounts are regularly audited by FAC compliance personnel and by 
cooperating auditors from bank 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 50 cases under active investigation. Since 
the last report, FAC has collected 20 civil penalties totaling nearly 
$75,000 from 17 financial institutions for violations involving 
transfers of funds in which the Government of the FRY (S/M) has an 
interest. Two U.S. companies and one law firm have also paid penalties 
related to exports and unlicensed payments to the Government of the FRY 
(S/M) for trademark registrations.
  7. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from November 30, 1993, through May 29, 1994, 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 about 
$3 million, most of which represent wage and salary costs for Federal 
personnel. Personnel costs were largely centered in the Department of 
the Treasury (particularly in FAC 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-Herzegovina 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).
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, June 21, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-274).

  Mr. McCOLLUM, pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XXVIII, announced his 
intention 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 House amendment to the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 3355) to 
amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow 
grants to increase police presence, to expand and improve cooperative 
efforts between law enforcement agencies and members of the community, 
to address crime and disorder problems, and otherwise to enhance public 
safety; be instructed not to agree to subtitle I, relating to the local 
partnership Act, or to any provision similar to it, of title X of the 
House amendment.

Para. 67.18  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to haiti

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  On October 4, 1991, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (``IEEPA'') (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and section 301 of the 
National Emergencies Act (``NEA'') (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), President 
Bush exercised his statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 
12775, declaring a national emergency and blocking Haitian government 
property.
  On October 28, 1991, pursuant to the above authorities, President Bush 
exercised his statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12779, 
blocking certain property of and prohibiting certain transactions with 
Haiti.
  On June 30, 1993, pursuant to above authorities, as well as the United 
Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (``UNPA''), (2 U.S.C. 
287c), I exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 
12853, to impose additional economic measures with respect to Haiti. 
This latter action was taken, in part, to ensure that the economic 
measures taken by the United States with respect to Haiti would fulfill 
its obligations under United Nations Security Council Resolution 841 of 
June 16, 1993.
  On October 18, 1993, pursuant to the IEEPA and the NEA, I again 
exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12872, 
blocking property of various persons with respect to Haiti.
  On May 6, 1994, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 
917, calling on States to take additional measures to tighten the 
embargo against Haiti. On May 27, 1994, pursuant to the above 
authorities, I exercised my statutory authority to issue Executive Order 
No. 12914, to impose additional economic measures with respect to Haiti. 
On May 21, 1994, pursuant to the above authorities, I exercised my 
statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12917, to impose those 
economic measures required by Resolution 917 that became effective May 
21, 1994. These latter actions were taken, in part, to ensure that the 
economic measures taken by the United States with respect to Haiti would 
fulfill its obligations under the provisions of United Nations Security 
Council Resolution 917.
  On June 10, 1994, pursuant to the above authorities, I exercised my 
statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12920, prohibiting 
additional transactions with Haiti.
  On June 21, 1994, pursuant to the above authorities, I exercised my 
statutory authority to issue Executive Order No. 12922.
  This new Executive order:
  --blocks all property in the United States, or within the possession 
    or control of United States persons, of any Haitian national 
    resident in Haiti, or any other person subject to the blocking 
    provisions of Executive Order Nos. 12775, 12779, 12853, 12872, or 
    12914 or a Haitian citizen who is a member of the immediate family 
    of such a person, as identified by the Secretary of the Treasury; 
    and makes limited exceptions for certain payments and transfers, and 
    for the property of nongovernmental organizations engaged in the 
    provision of essential humanitarian assistance or the conduct of 
    refugee and migration operations in Haiti, that are identified by 
    the Secretary of the Treasury;
  --prohibits any transaction that evades or avoids or has the purpose 
    of evading or avoiding, or attempts

[[Page 1142]]

    to violate, any of the prohibitions of the order; and
  --authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
    Secretary of State, to issue regulations implementing the provisions 
    of the order.
  The new Executive order is necessary to tighten the embargo against 
Haiti with the goal of the restoration of democracy in that nation and 
the prompt return of the legitimately elected President, Jean-Bertrand 
Aristide, under the framework of the Governors Island Agreement.
  I am providing this notice to the Congress pursuant to section 204(b) 
of the IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(b)) and section 301 of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 
1631). I am enclosing a copy of the Executive order that I have issued.

                                                    William J. Clinton. 
  The White House, June 21, 1994.

  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. 103-275).

Para. 67.19  modification of conferees--h.r. 3355

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. de la GARZA, by unanimous consent and 
pursuant to clause 6(f) of rule X, announced the following modification 
in the appointment of conferees on the part of the House to the 
conference with the Senate on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on

grants to increase police presence, to expand and improve cooperative 
efforts between law enforcement agencies and members of the community, 
to address crime and disorder problems, and otherwise to enhance public 
safety:

Para. 68.21  waiving points of order against h.r. 4603

  Mr. BEILENSON, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 461):

       Resolved, That points of order against consideration of the 
     bill (H.R. 4603) making appropriations for the Departments of 
     Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and related 
     agencies programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
     1995, and making supplemental appropriations for these 
     departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 
     30, 1994, and for other purposes, for failure to comply with 
     clause 2(1)(6) of rule XI or clause 7 of rule XXI are waived. 
     During consideration of the bill, all points of order against 
     provisions in the bill or failure to comply with clause 2 of 
     rule XXI are waived except as follows: beginning with 
     ``notwithstanding'' on page 3, line 18, through ``Act,'' on 
     line 19; beginning with ``That'' on page 36, line 16, 
     through, ``Provided further,'' on page 37, line 6; and 
     beginning with ``: Provided'' on page 48, line 25, through 
     ``Treasury'' on page 49, line 4. Where points of order are 
     waived against only part of a paragraph, any point of order 
     against matter in the balance of the paragraph may be applied 
     only within the balance of the paragraph and not against the 
     entire paragraph. The amendment printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall have 
     precedence over a motion that the Committee of the Whole rise 
     and report the bill to the House with such amendments as may 
     have been adopted, if the amendment is offered by a Member 
     designated in the report.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. BEILENSON, 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. LIVINGSTON 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.

  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the

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

     insert in lieu thereof: ``authorized by law''.
       On page 47, line 23, after the word ``amended'' add: ``, 
     and shall not become available until authorized by law''.
       Page 75, strike lines 14 through 19 and insert the 
     following:
       Sec. 518. (a) Purchase of American-Made Equipment and 
     Products.--It is the sense of the Congress that, to the 
     greatest extent practicable, all equipment and products 
     purchased with funds made available in this Act should be 
     American-made.
       (b) Notice Requirement.--In providing financial assistance 
     to, or entering into any contract with, any entity using 
     funds made available in this Act, the head of each Federal 
     agency, to the greatest extent practicable, shall provide to 
     such entity a notice describing the statement made in 
     subsection (a) by the Congress.

  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third

  Mr. KOLBE moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on 
Appropriations with instructions to report back the same forthwith with 
the following amendment:

  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit with instructions.

Para. 74.7  communication from the clerk--message from the senate

                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, July 12, 1994.
     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, the Clerk received the following message 
     from the Secretary of the Senate:

                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.

Para. 74.8  communication from the clerk--message from the president

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


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, July 12, 1994.
     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 transit a sealed envelop 
     received from the White House on Friday, July 1, 1994 at 
     10:00 a.m. and said to contain a message from the President 
     wherein he notifies the Congress of a declaration of a 
     national emergency due to the lapse of the Export 
     Administration Act of 1979.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                  Clerk, House of Representatives.

Para. 74.9  export administration

  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. 1703(b), I hereby report to the Congress that I 
have today exercised the authority granted by this Act to continue in 
effect the system of controls contained in 15 C.F.R., Parts 768-799, 
including restrictions on participation by U.S. persons in certain 
foreign boycott activities, which heretofore have been maintained under 
the authority of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, 50 
U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq. In addition, I have made provision for the 
administration of section 38(e) of the Arms Export Control Act, 22 
U.S.C. 2778(e).
  The exercise of this authority is necessitated by the expiration of 
the Export Administration Act on June 30, 1994, and the lapse that 
would result in the system of controls maintained under that Act.
  In the absence of control, foreign parties would have unrestricted 
access to U.S. commercial products, technology, technical data, and 
assistance, posing an unusual and extraordinary threat to national 
security, foreign policy, and economic objectives critical to the 
United States. In addition, U.S. persons would not be prohibited from 
com- 

[[Page 1200]]

plying with certain foreign boycott requests. This would seriously harm 
our foreign policy interests, particularly in the Middle East.
  Controls established in 15 C.F.R. 768-799, and continued by this 
action, include the following:
  --National security export controls aimed at restricting the export 
    of goods and technologies, which would make a significant 
    contribution to the military potential of certain other countries 
    and which would prove detrimental to the national security of the 
    United States.
  --Foreign policy controls that further the foreign policy objectives 
    of the United States or its declared international obligations in 
    such widely recognized areas as human rights, antiterrorism, 
    regional stability, missile technology nonproliferation, and 
    chemical and biological weapons nonproliferation.
  --Nuclear nonproliferation controls that are maintained for both 
    national security and foreign policy reasons, and which support the 
    objectives of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Act.
  --Short supply controls that protect domestic supplies, and 
    antiboycott regulations that prohibit compliance with foreign 
    boycotts aimed at countries friendly to the United States.
  Consequently, I have issued an Executive order (a copy of which is 
attached) to continue in effect all rules and regulations issued or 
continued in effect by the Secretary of Commerce under the authority of 
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, and all orders, 
regulations, licenses, and other forms of administrative actions under 
the Act, except where they are inconsistent with sections 203(b) and 
206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
  The Congress and the Executive have not permitted export controls to 
lapse since they were enacted under the Export Control Act of 1949. Any 
termination of controls could permit transactions to occur that would 
be seriously detrimental to the national interests we have heretofore 
sought to protect through export controls and restrictions on 
compliance by U.S. persons with certain foreign boycotts. I believe 
that even a temporary lapse in this system of controls would seriously 
damage our national security, foreign policy, and economic interests 
and undermine our credibility in meeting our international obligations.
  The countries affected by this action vary depending on the 
objectives sought to be achieved by the system of controls instituted 
under the Export Administration Act. Potential adversaries may seek to 
acquire sensitive U.S. goods and technologies. Other countries serve as 
conduits for the diversion of such items. Still other countries have 
policies that are contrary to U.S. foreign policy or nonproliferation 
objectives, or foster boycotts against friendly countries. For some 
goods or technologies, controls could apply even to our closest allies 
in order to safeguard against diversion to potential adversaries.
  It is my intention to terminate the Executive order upon enactment 
into law of a bill reauthorizing the authorities contained in the 
Export Administration Act.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, June 30, 1994.

  The message, together with the accompanying papers, was referred to 
the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 
103-279).

Para. 74.10  subpoena

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

     management of National Park resources and values.
       (2) Vacancies in the Commission shall be filled by the 
     Secretary so as to maintain the full diversity of views 
     required to be represented on the Commission.
       (c) The Federal Advisory Committee Act shall apply to the

     Neither the location of such lands within such boundaries nor 
     the possible acquisition of such lands by the United States 
     shall constitute a bar to the otherwise lawful issuance of 
     any federal license or permit other than a license or permit 
     related to activities governed by 16 U.S.C. Sec. 460l-22(c).

            TITLE VIII--CALIFORNIA MILITARY LANDS WITHDRAWAL

     SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS.

       (a) Short Title.--This title may be cited as the 
     ``California Military Lands Withdrawal and Overflights Act of 
     1994''.
       (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Federal lands within the desert regions of 
     California have provided essential opportunities for military 
     training, research, and development for the Armed Forces of 
     the United States and allied nations;
       (2) alternative sites for military training and other 
     military activities carried out on Federal lands in the 
     California desert area are not readily available;
       (3) while changing world conditions have lessened to some 
     extent the immediacy of military threats to the national 
     security of the United States and its allies, there remains a 
     need for military training, research, and development 
     activities of the types that have been carried out of Federal 
     lands in the California desert area; and
       (4) continuation of existing military training, research, 
     and development activities, under appropriate terms and 
     conditions, is not incompatible with the protection and 
     proper management of the natural, environmental, cultural, 
     and other resources and values of the Federal lands in the 
     California desert area.

     SEC. 802. WITHDRAWALS.

       (a) China Lake.--(1) Subject to valid existing rights and 
     except as otherwise provided in this title, the Federal lands

     to the nonmilitary use of such lands only with the 
     concurrence of the Secretary of the Navy.
       (b) Closure to Public.--(1) If the Secretary of the Navy 
     determines that military operations, public safety, or 
     national security require the closure to public use of any 
     road, trail, or other portion of the lands withdrawn by this 
     title, the Secretary may take such action as the Secretary 
     determines necessary or desirable to effect and maintain such 
     closure.
       (2) Any such closure shall be limited to the minimum areas 
     and periods which the Secretary of the Navy determines are 
     required to carry out this subsection.
       (3) Before and during any closure under this subsection, 
     the Secretary of the Navy shall--

       (f) Additional Military Uses.--(1) Lands withdrawn by 
     section 802 may be used for defense-related uses other than 
     those specified in such section. The Secretary of Defense 
     shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Interior in the 
     event that the lands withdrawn by this title will be used for 
     defense-related purposes other than those specified in 
     section 802. Such notification shall indicate the additional 
     use of uses involved, the proposed duration of such uses, and 
     the extent to which such additional military uses of the 
     withdrawn lands will require that additional or more 
     stringent conditions or restrictions be imposed on otherwise-
     permitted nonmilitary uses of the withdrawn land or portions 
     thereof.
       (g) Management of China Lake.--(1) The Secretary of the

     Interior assigns such management responsibility to the 
     Secretary of the Navy before the development of the 
     management plan under subsection (c), the Secretary of the 
     Navy (after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior) 
     shall develop such management plan.
       (2) The Secretary of the Interior shall be responsible for 
     the issuance of any lease, easement, right-of-way, and other 
     authorization with respect to any activity which involves 
     both the lands withdrawn under section 802(a) and any other 
     lands. Any such authorization shall be issued only with the 
     consent of the Secretary of the Navy and, to the extent that 
     such activity involves lands withdrawn under section 802(a), 
     shall be subject to such conditions as the Secretary of the 
     Navy may prescribe.
       (3) The Secretary of the Navy shall prepare and submit to 
     the Secretary of the Interior and annual report on the status 
     of the natural and cultural resources and values of the lands 
     withdrawn under section 802(a). The Secretary of the Interior 
     shall transmit such report to the Committee on Natural 
     Resources of the House of Representatives and the Committee 
     on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate.
       (4) The Secretary of the Navy shall be responsible for the

     shall be in accordance with laws applicable to such 
     management on public lands and with an appropriate memorandum 
     of understanding between the Secretary of the Interior and 
     the Secretary of the Navy.
       (5) Neither this Act nor any other provision of law shall 
     be construed to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from 
     issuing and administering any lease for the development and 
     utilization of geothermal steam and associated geothermal 
     resources on the lands withdrawn under section 802(a) 
     pursuant to the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 1001 
     et seq.) and other applicable law, but no such lease shall be 
     issued without the concurrence of the Navy.
       (6) This title shall not affect the geothermal exploration 
     and development authority of the Secretary of the Navy under 
     section 2689 of title 10, United States Code, except that the 
     Secretary of the Navy shall obtain the concurrence of the 
     Secretary of the Interior before taking action under that 
     section with respect to the lands withdrawn under section 
     802(a).
       (7) Upon the expiration of the withdrawal made by 
     subsection 802(a) or relinquishment of the lands withdrawn by 
     that subsection, Navy contracts for the development of 
     geothermal resources at China Lake then in effect (including 
     amendments or renewals by the Navy after the date of 
     enactment of this Act shall remain in effect: Provided, that 
     the Secretary of the Interior, with the consent of the 
     Secretary of the Navy, may offer to substitute a standard 
     geothermal lease for any such contract.
       (h) Management of El Centro Ranges.--To the extent 
     consistent with this title, the lands and minerals within the 
     areas described in section 802(c) shall be managed in 
     accordance with the Cooperative Agreement entered into

     SEC. 807. REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWAL.

       (a) Notice and Filing.--(1) No later than three years prior 
     to the termination of the withdrawal and reservation 
     established by this title, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     advise the Secretary of the Interior as to whether or not the 
     Secretary of the Navy will have a continuing military need 
     for any of the lands withdrawn under section 802 after the 
     termination date of such withdrawal and reservation.
       (2) If the Secretary of the Navy concludes that there will 
     be a continuing military need for any of such lands after the 
     termination date, the Secretary shall file an application for 
     extension of the withdrawal and reservation of such needed 
     lands in accordance with the regulations and procedures of 
     the Department of the Interior applicable to the extension of 
     withdrawals of lands for military uses.
       (3) If, during the period of withdrawal and reservation, 
     the Secretary of the Navy decides to relinquish all or any of 
     the lands withdrawn and reserved by this title, the Secretary 
     shall file a notice of intention to relinquish with the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (b) Contamination.--(1) Before transmitting a notice of 
     intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a), the 
     Secretary of Defense, acting through the Department of Navy, 
     shall prepare a written determination concerning whether and 
     to what extent the lands that are to be relinquished are 
     contaminated with explosive, toxic, or other hazardous 
     materials.
       (2) A copy of such determination shall be transmitted with 
     the notice of intention to relinquish.
       (3) Copies of both the notice of intention to relinquish 
     and the determination concerning the contaminated state of 
     the lands shall be published in the Federal Register by the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (c) Decontamination.--If any land which is the subject of a 
     notice of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) 
     is contaminated, and the Secretary of the Interior, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, determines that 
     decontamination is practicable and economically feasible 
     (taking into consideration the potential future use and value 
     of the land) and that upon decontamination, the land could be 
     opened to operation of some or all of the public land laws, 
     including the mining laws, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     decontaminate the land to the extent that funds are 
     appropriated for such purpose.
       (d) Alternatives.--If the Secretary of the Interior, after 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, concludes that 
     decontamination of any land which is the subject of a notice 
     of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) is not 
     practicable or economically feasible, or that the land cannot 
     be decontaminated sufficiently to be opened to operation of 
     some or all of the public land laws, or if Congress does not 
     appropriate a sufficient amount of funds for the 
     decontamination of such land, the Secretary of the Interior 
     shall not be required to accept the land proposed for 
     relinquishment.
       (e) Status of Contaminated Lands.--If, because of their 
     contaminated sate, the Secretary of the Interior declines to 
     accept jurisdiction over lands withdrawn by this title which 
     have been proposed for relinquishment, or if at the 
     expiration of the withdrawal made by this title the Secretary 
     of the Interior determines that some of the lands withdrawn 
     by this title are contaminated to an extent which prevents 
     opening such contaminated lands to operation of the public 
     land laws--
       (1) the Secretary of the Navy shall take appropriate steps 
     to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands 
     and any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
       (2) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary 
     of the Navy shall undertake no activities on such lands 
     except in connection with decontamination of such lands; and
       (3) the Secretary of the Navy shall report to the Secretary 
     of the Interior and to the Congress concerning the status of 
     such lands and all actions taken in furtherance of this 
     subsection.
       (f) Revocation Authority.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, the Secretary of the Interior, upon 
     deciding that it is in the public interest to accept 
     jurisdiction over lands proposed for relinquishment pursuant 
     to subsection (a), is authorized to remove the withdrawal and 
     reservation established by this title as it applies to such 
     lands. Should the decision be made to revoke the withdrawal 
     and reservation, the Secretary of the Interior shall publish 
     in the Federal Register an appropriate order which shall--
       (1) terminate the withdrawal and reservation;
       (2) constitute official acceptance of full jurisdiction 
     over the lands by the Secretary of the Interior; and
       (3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to 
     the operation of some or all of the public lands laws, 
     including the mining laws.

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``The Enhanced Rescission/
     Receipts Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. LEGISLATIVE LINE-ITEM VETO RESCISSION AUTHORITY.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding the provisions of part B 
     of title X of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment 
     Control Act of 1974, and subject to the provisions of this 
     section, the President may rescind all or part of any 
     discretionary budget authority or veto any targeted tax 
     benefit within any revenue bill which is subject to the terms 
     of this Act if the President--
       (1) determines that--
       (A) such recession or veto would help reduce the Federal 
     budget deficit;
       (B) such rescission or veto will not impair any essential 
     Government functions; and
       (C) such rescission or veto will not harm the national 
     interest; and
       (2) notifies the Congress of such rescission or veto by a 
     special message not later than twenty calendar days (not 
     including Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays) after the date of 
     enactment of a regular or supplemental appropriation act or a 
     joint resolution making continuing appropriations providing 
     such budget authority or a revenue bill containing a targeted 
     tax benefit.

     The President shall submit a separate rescission message for 
     each appropriation bill and for each revenue bill under this 
     paragraph.

     SEC. 3. RESCISSION EFFECTIVE UNLESS DISAPPROVED.

       (a)(1) Any amount of budget authority rescinded under this 
     Act as set forth in a special message by the President shall 
     be deemed canceled unless, during the period described in 
     subsection (b), a rescission/receipts disapproval bill making 
     available all of the amount rescinded is enacted into law.
  (2) Any provision of law vetoed under this Act as set forth in a 
special message by the President shall be deemed repealed unless, 
during the period described in subsection (b), a rescission/receipts 
disapproval bill restoring that provision is enacted into law.
       (b) The period referred to in subsection (a) is--
       (1) a congressional review period of twenty calendar days 
     of session during which Congress must complete action on the 
     rescission/receipts disapproval bill and present such

[[Page 1221]]

     bill to the President for approval or disapproval;
       (2) after the period provided in paragraph (1), an 
     additional ten days (not including Sundays) during which the 
     President may exercise his authority to sign or veto the 
     rescission/receipts disapproval bill; and
       (3) if the President vetoes the rescission/receipts 
     disapproval bill during the period provided in paragraph (2), 
     an additional five calendar days of session after the date of 
     the veto.
       (c) If a special message is transmitted by the President 
     under this Act and the last session of the Congress adjourns 
     sine die before the expiration of the period described in 
     subsection (b), the rescission or veto, as the case may be, 
     shall not take effect. The message shall be deemed to have 
     been retransmitted on the first day of the succeeding 
     Congress and the review period referred to in subsection (b) 
     (with respect to such message) shall run beginning after such 
     first day.

     SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.

     a bill or joint resolution which--
       (A) only disapproves a rescission of budget authority, in 
     whole, rescinded, or

     form of a differential treatment to a particular taxpayer or 
     a limited class of taxpayers, whether or not such provision 
     is limited by its terms to a particular taxpayer or a class 
     of taxpayers. Such term does not include any benefit provided 
     to a class of taxpayers distinguished on the basis of general 
     demographic conditions such as income, number of dependents, 
     or marital status.

     SEC. 5. CONGRESSIONAL CONSIDERATION OF LEGISLATIVE LINE ITEM

     veto; and
       (5) all factions, circumstances, and considerations 
     relating to or bearing upon the rescission or veto and the 
     decision to effect the rescission or veto, and to the maximum 
     extent practicable, the estimated effect of the rescission 
     upon the objects, purposes, and programs for which the budget 
     authority is provided.
       (b) Transmission of Messages to House and Senate.--
       (1) Each special message transmitted under this Act shall 
     be transmitted to the House of Representatives and the Senate 
     on the same day, and shall be delivered to the Clerk of the 
     House of Representatives if the House is not in session, and 
     to the Secretary of the Senate if the Senate is not in 
     session. Each special message so transmitted shall be 
     referred to the appropriate committees of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate. Each such message shall be 
     printed as a document of each House.
       (2) Any special message transmitted under this Act shall be

     after such transmittal.
       (c) Referral of Rescission/Receipts Disapproval Bills.--Any 
     rescission/receipts disapproval bill introduced with respect 
     to a special message shall be referred to the appropriate 
     committees of the House of Representatives or the Senate, as 
     the case may be.
       (d) Consideration in the Senate.--

     the Senate from the House shall be considered in the Senate 
     pursuant to the provisions of this Act.
       (2) Debate in the Senate on any rescission/receipts 
     disapproval bill and debatable motions and appeals in 
     connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than ten 
     hours. The time shall be equally divided between, and 
     controlled by, the majority leader and the minority leader on 
     their designees.
       (3) Debate in the Senate on any debatable motions or appeal 
     in connection with such bill shall be limited to one hour, to 
     be equally divided between, and controlled by the mover and 
     the manager of the bill, except that in the event the manager 
     of the bill is in favor of any such motion or appeal, the 
     time in opposition thereto shall be controlled by the 
     minority leader or his designee. Such leaders, or either of 
     them, may, from the time under their control on the passage 
     of the bill, allot additional time to any Senator during the 
     consideration of any debatable motion or appeal.
       (4) A motion to further limit debate is not debatable. A 
     motion to recommit (except a motion to recommit with 
     instructions to report back within a specified number of days 
     not to exceed one, not counting any day on which the Senate 
     is not in session) is not in order.
       (e) Points of Order.--
       (1) It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of 
     Representatives to consider any rescission/receipts 
     disapproval bill that relates to any matter other than the 
     rescission of budget authority or veto of the provision of 
     law transmitted by the President under this Act.
       (2) it shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of 
     Representatives to consider any amendment to a rescission/
     receipts disapproval bill.
       (3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) may be waived or suspended in 
     the Senate only by a vote of three-fifths of the members duly 
     chosen and sworn.

  Amendment in the nature of a substitute submitted by Mr. STENHOLM:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. EXPEDITED CONSIDERATION OF CERTAIN PROPOSED 
                   RESCISSIONS AND TARGETED TAX BENEFITS.

       (a) In General.--Section 1012 of the Congressional Budget 
     and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 683) is amended 
     to read as follows:


       ``expedited consideration of certain proposed rescissions

       Sec. 1012. (a) Proposed Rescission of Budget Authority or 
     Repeal of Targeted Tax Benefits.--The President may propose, 
     at the time and in the manner provided in subsection (b), the 
     rescission of any budget authority provided in an 
     appropriation Act or repeal of any targeted tax benefit 
     provided in any revenue Act. Funds made available for 
     obligation under this procedure may not be proposed for 
     rescission again under this section.
       ``(b) Transmittal of Special Message.--
       (1) The President may transmit to Congress a special 
     message proposing to rescind amounts of budget authority or 
     to repeal any targeted tax benefit and include with that 
     special message a draft bill that, if enacted, would only 
     rescind that budget authority or repeal that targeted tax 
     benefit. That bill shall clearly identify the amount of 
     budget authority that is proposed to be rescinded for each 
     program, project, or activity to which that budget authority 
     relates or the targeted tax benefit proposed to be repealed, 
     as the case may be. It shall include a Deficit Reduction 
     Account. The President may place in the Deficit Reduction 
     Account an amount not to exceed the total rescissions in that 
     bill. A targeted tax benefit may only be proposed to be 
     repealed under this section during the 20-calendar-day period 
     (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) commencing 
     on the day after the date of enactment of the provision 
     proposed to be repealed.
       ``(2) In the case of an appropriation Act that includes 
     accounts within the jurisdiction of more than one 
     subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, the 
     President in proposing to rescind budget authority under this 
     section shall send a separate special message and 
     accompanying draft bill for accounts within the jurisdiction 
     of each such subcommittee.
       ``(3) Each special message shall specify, with respect to 
     the budget authority proposed to be rescinded, the 
     following--
       ``(A) the amount of budget authority which he proposes to 
     be rescinded;
       ``(B) any account, department, or establishment of the 
     Government to which such budget authority is available for 
     obligation, and the specific project or governmental 
     functions involved;
       ``(C) the reasons why the budget authority should be 
     rescinded;
       ``(D) to the maximum extent practicable, the estimated 
     fiscal, economic, and budgetary effect (including the effect 
     on outlays and receipts in each fiscal year) of the proposed 
     rescission; and
       ``(E) all facts, circumstances, and considerations relating 
     to or bearing upon the proposed rescission and the decision 
     to effect the proposed rescission, and to the maximum extent 
     practicable, the estimated effect of the proposed rescission 
     upon the objects, purposes, and programs for which the budget 
     authority is provided.

     Each special message shall specify, with respect to the 
     proposed repeal of targeted tax benefits, the information 
     required by subparagraphs (C), (D), and (E), as it relates to 
     the proposed repeal.
       ``(c) Procedures for Expedited Consideration.--
       ``(1)(A) Before the close of the second legislative day of 
     the House of Representatives after the date of receipt of a 
     special message transmitted to Congress under subsection (b), 
     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.
       ``(B) The bill shall be referred to the Committee on 
     Appropriations or the Committee on Ways and Means of the 
     House of Representatives, as applicable. The committee shall 
     report the bill without substantive revision and with or 
     without recommendation. The bill shall be reported not later 
     than the seventh legislative day of that House after

[[Page 1222]]

     the date of receipt of that special message. If that 
     committee fails to report the bill within that period, that 
     committee shall be automatically discharged from 
     consideration of the bill, and the bill shall be placed on 
     the appropriate calendar.
       ``(C)(i) During consideration under this paragraph, any 
     Member of the House of Representatives may move to strike any 
     proposed rescission or rescissions of budget authority or any 
     proposed repeal of a targeted tax benefit, as applicable, if 
     supported by 49 other Members.
       ``(ii) It shall not be in order for a Member of the House 
     of Representatives to move to strike any proposed rescission 
     under clause (i) unless the amendment reduces the appropriate 
     Deficit Reduction Account if the program, project, or account 
     to which the proposed rescission applies was identified in 
     the Deficit Reduction Account in the special message under 
     subsection (b).
       ``(D) A vote on final passage of the bill shall be taken in 
     the House of Representatives on or before the close of the 
     10th legislative day of that House after the date of the 
     introduction of the bill in that House. If the bill is 
     passed, the Clerk of the House of Representatives shall cause 
     the bill to be engrossed, certified, and transmitted to the 
     Senate within one calendar day of the day on which the bill 
     is passed.
       ``(2)(A) A motion in the House of Representatives to 
     proceed to the consideration of a bill under this section 
     shall be highly privileged and not debatable. An amendment to 
     the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order to 
     move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to 
     or disagreed to.
       ``(B) Debate in the House of Representatives on a bill 
     under this section shall not exceed 4 hours, which shall be 
     divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the 
     bill. A motion further to limit debate shall not be 
     debatable. It shall not be in order to move to recommit a 
     bill under this section or to move to reconsider the vote by 
     which the bill is agreed to or disagreed to.
       ``(C) Appeals from decisions of the Chair relating to the 
     application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to 
     the procedure relating to a bill under this section shall be 
     decided without debate.
       ``(D) Except to the extent specifically provided in the 
     preceding provisions of this subsection, consideration of a 
     bill under this section shall be governed by the Rules of the 
     House of Representatives. It shall not be in order in the 
     House of Representatives to consider any rescission bill 
     introduced pursuant to the provisions of this section under a 
     suspension of the rules or under a special rule.
       ``(3)(A) A bill transmitted to the Senate pursuant to 
     paragraph (1)(D) shall be referred to its Committee on 
     Appropriations or Committee on Finance, as applicable. That 
     committee shall report the bill without substantive revision 
     and with or without recommendation. The bill shall be 
     reported not later than the seventh legislative day of the 
     Senate after it receives the bill. A committee failing to 
     report the bill within such period shall be automatically 
     discharged from consideration of the bill, and the bill shall 
     be placed upon the appropriate calendar.
       ``(B)(i) During consideration under this paragraph, any 
     Member of the Senate may move to strike any proposed 
     rescission or rescissions of budget authority or any proposed 
     repeal of a targeted tax benefit, as applicable, if supported 
     by 14 other Members.
       ``(ii) It shall not be in order for a Member of the House 
     or Senate to move to strike any proposed rescission under 
     clause (i) unless the amendment reduces the appropriate 
     Deficit Reduction Account (pursuant to section 314) if the 
     program, project, or account to which the proposed rescission 
     applies was identified in the Deficit Reduction Account in 
     the special message under subsection (b).
       ``(4)(A) A motion in the Senate to proceed to the 
     consideration of a bill under this section shall be 
     privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the motion 
     shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order to move to 
     reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or 
     disagreed to.
       ``(B) Debate in the Senate on a bill under this section, 
     and all debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith 
     (including debate pursuant to subparagraph (C)), shall not 
     exceed 10 hours. The time shall be equally divided between, 
     and controlled by, the majority leader and the minority 
     leader or their designees.
       ``(C) Debate in the Senate on any debatable motion or 
     appeal in connection with a bill under this section shall be 
     limited to not more than 1 hour, to be equally divided 
     between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
     bill, except that in the event the manager of the bill is in 
     favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in opposition 
     thereto, shall be controlled by the minority leader or his 
     designee. Such leaders, or either of them, may, from time 
     under their control on the passage of a bill, allot 
     additional time to any Senator during the consideration of 
     any debatable motion or appeal.
       ``(D) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate on a 
     bill under this section is not debatable. A motion to 
     recommit a bill under this section is not in order.
       ``(d) Amendments and Divisions Prohibited.--Except as 
     otherwise provided by this section, no amendment to a bill 
     considered under this section shall be in order in either the 
     House of Representatives or the Senate. It shall not be in 
     order to demand a division of the question in the House of 
     Representatives (or in a Committee of the Whole) or in the 
     Senate. No motion to suspend the application of this 
     subsection shall be in order in either House, nor shall it be 
     in order in either House to suspend the application of this 
     subsection by unanimous consent.
       ``(e) Requirement To Make Available for Obligation.--(1) 
     Any amount of budget authority proposed to be rescinded in a 
     special message transmitted to Congress under subsection (b) 
     shall be made available for obligation on the day after the 
     date on which either House rejects the bill transmitted with 
     that special message.
       ``(2) Any targeted tax benefit proposed to be repealed 
     under this section as set forth in a special message 
     transmitted to Congress under subsection (b) shall be deemed 
     repealed unless, during the period described in that 
     subsection, either House rejects the bill transmitted with 
     that special message.
       ``(f) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       ``(1) the term `appropriation Act' means any general or

     is limited by its terms to a particular taxpayer or a class 
     of taxpayers. Such term does not include any benefit provided 
     to a class of taxpayers distinguished on the basis of general 
     demographic conditions such as income, number of dependents, 
     or marital status.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SWIFT, resumed the Chair.
  When Mr. de la GARZA, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 467, 
reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the 
Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. EXPEDITED CONSIDERATION OF CERTAIN PROPOSED 
                   RESCISSIONS AND TARGETED TAX BENEFITS.

       (a) In General.--Section 1012 of the Congressional Budget 
     and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 683) is amended 
     to read as follows:


       ``expedited consideration of certain proposed rescissions

       Sec. 1012. (a) Proposed Rescission of Budget Authority or 
     Repeal of Targeted Tax Benefits.--The President may propose, 
     at the time and in the manner provided in subsection (b), the 
     rescission of any budget authority provided in an 
     appropriation Act or repeal of any targeted tax benefit 
     provided in any revenue Act. Funds made available for 
     obligation under this procedure may not be proposed for 
     rescission again under this section.
       ``(b) Transmittal of Special Message.--
       (1) The President may transmit to Congress a special 
     message proposing to rescind amounts of budget authority or 
     to repeal any targeted tax benefit and include with that 
     special message a draft bill that, if enacted, would only 
     rescind that budget authority or repeal that targeted tax 
     benefit. That bill shall clearly identify the amount of 
     budget authority that is proposed to be rescinded for each 
     program, project, or activity to which that budget authority 
     relates or the targeted tax benefit proposed to be repealed, 
     as the case may be. It shall include a Deficit Reduction 
     Account. The President may place in the Deficit Reduction 
     Account an amount not to exceed the total rescissions in that 
     bill. A targeted tax benefit may only be proposed to be 
     repealed under this section during the 20-calendar-day period 
     (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) commencing 
     on the day after the date of enactment of the provision 
     proposed to be repealed.
       ``(2) In the case of an appropriation Act that includes 
     accounts within the jurisdiction of more than one 
     subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, the 
     President in proposing to rescind budget authority under this 
     section shall send a separate special message and 
     accompanying draft bill for accounts within the jurisdiction 
     of each such subcommittee.
       ``(3) Each special message shall specify, with respect to 
     the budget authority proposed to be rescinded, the 
     following--
       ``(A) the amount of budget authority which he proposes to 
     be rescinded;
       ``(B) any account, department, or establishment of the 
     Government to which such budget authority is available for 
     obligation, and the specific project or governmental 
     functions involved;
       ``(C) the reasons why the budget authority should be 
     rescinded;
       ``(D) to the maximum extent practicable, the estimated 
     fiscal, economic, and budgetary effect (including the effect 
     on outlays and receipts in each fiscal year) of the proposed 
     rescission; and
       ``(E) all facts, circumstances, and considerations relating 
     to or bearing upon the proposed rescission and the decision 
     to effect the proposed rescission, and to the maximum extent 
     practicable, the estimated effect of the proposed rescission 
     upon the objects, purposes, and programs for which the budget 
     authority is provided.

     Each special message shall specify, with respect to the 
     proposed repeal of targeted tax benefits, the information 
     required by subparagraphs (C), (D), and (E), as it relates to 
     the proposed repeal.
       ``(c) Procedures for Expedited Consideration.--
       ``(1)(A) Before the close of the second legislative day of 
     the House of Representatives after the date of receipt of a 
     special message transmitted to Congress under subsection (b), 
     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.
       ``(B) The bill shall be referred to the Committee on 
     Appropriations or the Committee on Ways and Means of the 
     House of Representatives, as applicable. The committee shall 
     report the bill without substantive revision and with or 
     without recommendation. The bill shall be reported not later 
     than the seventh legislative day of that House after the date 
     of receipt of that special message. If that committee fails 
     to report the bill within that period, that committee shall 
     be automatically discharged from consideration of the bill, 
     and the bill shall be placed on the appropriate calendar.
       ``(C)(i) During consideration under this paragraph, any 
     Member of the House of Representatives may move to strike any 
     proposed rescission or rescissions of budget authority or any 
     proposed repeal of a targeted tax benefit, as applicable, if 
     supported by 49 other Members.
       ``(ii) It shall not be in order for a Member of the House 
     of Representatives to move to strike any proposed rescission 
     under clause (i) unless the amendment reduces the appropriate 
     Deficit Reduction Account if the program, project, or account 
     to which the proposed rescission applies was identified in 
     the Deficit Reduction Account in the special message under 
     subsection (b).
       ``(D) A vote on final passage of the bill shall be taken in 
     the House of Representatives on or before the close of the 
     10th legislative day of that House after the date of the 
     introduction of the bill in that House. If the bill is 
     passed, the Clerk of the House of Representatives shall cause 
     the bill to be engrossed, certified, and transmitted to the 
     Senate within one calendar day of the day on which the bill 
     is passed.
       ``(2)(A) A motion in the House of Representatives to 
     proceed to the consideration of a bill under this section 
     shall be highly privileged and not debatable. An amendment to 
     the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order to 
     move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to 
     or disagreed to.
       ``(B) Debate in the House of Representatives on a bill 
     under this section shall not exceed 4 hours, which shall be 
     divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the 
     bill. A motion further to limit debate shall not be 
     debatable. It shall not be in order to move to recommit a 
     bill under this section or to move to reconsider the vote by 
     which the bill is agreed to or disagreed to.
       ``(C) Appeals from decisions of the Chair relating to the 
     application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to 
     the procedure relating to a bill under this section shall be 
     decided without debate.
       ``(D) Except to the extent specifically provided in the 
     preceding provisions of this subsection, consideration of a 
     bill under this section shall be governed by the Rules of the 
     House of Representatives. It shall not be in order in the 
     House of Representatives to consider any rescission bill 
     introduced pursuant to the provisions of this section under a 
     suspension of the rules or under a special rule.
       ``(3)(A) A bill transmitted to the Senate pursuant to 
     paragraph (1)(D) shall be referred to its Committee on 
     Appropriations or Committee on Finance, as applicable. That 
     committee shall report the bill without substantive revision 
     and with or without recommendation. The bill shall be 
     reported not later than the seventh legislative day of the 
     Senate after it receives the bill. A committee failing to 
     report the bill within such period shall be automatically 
     discharged from consideration of the bill, and the bill shall 
     be placed upon the appropriate calendar.
       ``(B)(i) During consideration under this paragraph, any 
     Member of the Senate may move to strike any proposed 
     rescission or rescissions of budget authority or any proposed 
     repeal of a targeted tax benefit, as applicable, if supported 
     by 14 other Members.
       ``(ii) It shall not be in order for a Member of the House 
     or Senate to move to strike any proposed rescission under 
     clause (i) unless the amendment reduces the appropriate 
     Deficit Reduction Account (pursuant to section 314) if the 
     program, project, or account to which the proposed rescission 
     applies was identified in the Deficit Reduction Account in 
     the special message under subsection (b).
       ``(4)(A) A motion in the Senate to proceed to the 
     consideration of a bill under this section shall be 
     privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the motion 
     shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order to move to 
     reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or 
     disagreed to.
       ``(B) Debate in the Senate on a bill under this section, 
     and all debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith 
     (including debate pursuant to subparagraph (C)), shall not 
     exceed 10 hours. The time shall be equally divided between, 
     and controlled by, the majority leader and the minority 
     leader or their designees.
       ``(C) Debate in the Senate on any debatable motion or 
     appeal in connection with a bill under this section shall be 
     limited to not more than 1 hour, to be equally divided 
     between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
     bill, except that in the event the manager of the bill is in 
     favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in opposition 
     thereto, shall be controlled by the minority leader or his 
     designee. Such leaders, or either of them, may, from time 
     under their control on the passage of a bill, allot 
     additional time to any Senator during the consideration of 
     any debatable motion or appeal.
       ``(D) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate on a 
     bill under this section is not debatable. A motion to 
     recommit a bill under this section is not in order.
       ``(d) Amendments and Divisions Prohibited.--Except as

Para. 76.15  permission to file report

  On motion of Mr. GONZALEZ, by unanimous consent, the Committee on 
Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs was granted permission until 
midnight, Friday, July 15, 1994, to file a report on the bill (H.R. 
3838) to amend and extend certain laws relating to housing and community 
development, and for other purposes.

Para. 76.16  providing for the consideration of h.r. 3937

  Mr. GORDON, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 474):

       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. 3937) entitled the ``Export Administration Act 
     of 1994''. 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 ninety minutes, with fifteen minutes equally divided 
     and controlled by the chairman and ranking member of the 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs, fifteen minutes equally divided 
     and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
     the Committee on Armed Services, fifteen minutes equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on the Judiciary, fifteen minutes 
     equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Public Works and 
     Transportation, fifteen minutes equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on on Ways and Means, and fifteen minutes equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 
     After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
     amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the 
     committee amendments now printed in the bill, it shall be in 
     order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of 
     amendment under the five-minute rule an amendment in the 
     nature of a substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 4663. 
     That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
     considered by title rather than by section, and each title 
     shall be considered as read. All points of order against that 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No 
     amendment directly or indirectly changing section 
     111(c)(2)(B)(iii), 111(d)(4)(F), 111(e)(3), or 226(b)(8) of 
     the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as 
     original text shall be in order. No amendment affecting the 
     subject of timber shall be in order. It shall be in order to 
     consider the amendments printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution only in the 
     order printed. Each amendment 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 subject to amendment, and shall 
     not be subject to a demand for division of the question in 
     the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of 
     order against the amendments printed in the report are 
     waived. If more than one of the amendments printed in the 
     report is adopted, only the last to be adopted shall be 
     considered as finally adopted and reported to the House. 
     Except as provided in section 2 of this resolution, no other 
     amendment (other than a further amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute) may directly or indirectly change a portion of 
     the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as 
     original text addressed by an amendment printed in the 
     report. Except as provided in section 3, no other amendment 
     to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order 
     as original text shall be in order unless printed in the 
     portion of the Congressional Record designated for that 
     purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII before the commencement of 
     consideration of the bill. 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 
     finally adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the 
     House on any amendment finally adopted in the Committee of 
     the Whole to the bill or to the amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute made in order as original text. The previous 
     question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
     amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.
       Sec. 2. It shall be in order immediately after the 
     disposition of the amendments printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution to consider 
     additional amendments directly or indirectly changing a 
     portion of the amendment in the nature of a substitute made 
     in order as original text addressed by an amendment printed 
     in the report of the Committee on Rules, if offered by a 
     Member designated jointly by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Armed Services. All points of order against such additional 
     amendments are waived.
       Sec. 3. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman 
     of the Committee on Foreign Affairs or a designee to offer 
     amendments en bloc consisting of amendments otherwise in 
     order to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in 
     order as original text or germane modifications of any such 
     amendment. Amendments en bloc offered pursuant to this 
     section shall be considered as read (except that 
     modifications shall be reported), shall be debatable for ten 
     minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
     ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, 
     shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 
     to a demand for division of the question in the House or in 
     the committee of the Whole. For the purpose of inclusion in 
     such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the form of 
     a motion to strike may be modified to the form of a germane 
     perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be 
     stricken. All points of order against such amendments en bloc 
     are waived. The original proponent of an amendment included 
     in such amendments en bloc may insert a statement in the 
     Congressional Record immediately before the disposition of 
     the amendment en bloc.

  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. HASTINGS, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. DeFAZIO 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.

follows:

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                    Washington, DC, July 19, 1994.
     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 two sealed 
     envelopes received from the White House received at 3:37 p.m. 
     on Monday, July 18, 1994 as follows:
       (1) Said to contain a message from the President wherein he 
     submits a 6-month periodic report with respect to the 
     national emergency with Libya.
       (2) Said to contain a message from the President whereby he 
     submits an agreement, with annex between the U.S.A. and 
     Lithuania extending the fishery agreement until December 31, 
     1996.
       With great respect, I am
           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,
                                 Clerk, House of Representatives. 

Para. 78.12  u.s. and lithuania fishery agreement

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management 
Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-265; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), I transmit 
herewith an Agreement between the Government of the United States of 
America and the Government of the Republic of Lithuania Extending the 
Agreement of November 12, 1992, Concerning Fisheries off the Coasts of 
the United States, with annex. The agreement, which was effected by an 
exchange of notes at Vilnius, Lithuania on February 22, 1994, and May 
11, 1994, extends the 1992 agreement to December 31, 1996. The exchange 
of notes, together with the 1992 agreement, constitutes a governing 
international fishery agreement within the requirements of section 
201(c) of the Act.
  In light of the importance of our fisheries relationship with the 
Republic of Lithuania, I urge that the Congress give favorable 
consideration to this agreement at an early date.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, July 18, 1994.

  The message, together with the accompanying papers, was referred to 
the

[[Page 1232]]

Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and ordered to be printed (H. 
Doc. 103-280).

Para. 78.13  national emergency with respect to libya

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  I hereby report to the Congress on the developments since my last 
report of February 10, 1994, concerning the national emergency with 
respect to Libya that was declared in Executive Order No. 12543 of 
January 7, 1986. This report is submitted pursuant to section 401(c) of 
the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1641(c); section 204(c) of the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act [``IEEPA''], 50 U.S.C. 
1703(c); and section 505(c) of the International Security and 
Development Corporation Act of 1985, 22 U.S.C. 2349aa-9(c).
  1. As previously reported, on December 2, 1993, I renewed for another 
year the national emergency with respect to Libya pursuant to IEEPA. 
This renewal extended the current comprehensive financial and trade 
embargo against Libya in effect since 1986. Under these sanctions, all 
trade with Libya is prohibited, and all assets owned or controlled by 
the Libyan government in the United States or in the possession or 
control of U.S. persons are blocked. In addition, I have instructed the 
Secretary of Commerce to reinforce our current trade embargo against 
Libya by prohibiting the re-export from foreign countries to Libya of 
certain U.S.-origin products, including equipment for refining and 
transporting oil, unless consistent with United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 883.
  2. There have been two amendments to the Libyan Sanctions Regulations, 
31 C.F.R. Part 550 (the ``Regulations''), administered by the Office of 
Foreign Assets Control [``FAC''] on the Department of the Treasury, 
since my last report on February 10, 1994. The first amendment (59 Fed. 
Reg. 5105, February 3, 1994) revoked section 550.516, a general license 
that unblocked deposits in currencies other than U.S. dollars held by 
U.S. persons abroad otherwise blocked under the Regulations. This 
amendment is consistent with action by the United Nations Security 
Council in Resolution 883 of November 11, 1993. The Security Council 
determined in that resolution that the continued failure of the 
Government of Libya [``GoL''] to demonstrate by concrete actions its 
renunciation of terrorism, and in particular the GoL's continued failure 
to respond fully and effectively to the requests and decisions of the 
Security Council in Resolutions 731 and 748, concerning the bombing of 
the Pan Am 103 and UTA 772 flights, constituted a threat to 
international peace and security. Accordingly, Resolution 883 called 
upon Member States, inter alia, to freeze certain GoL funds or other 
financial resources in their territories, and to ensure that their 
nationals did not make such funds or any other financial resources 
available to the GoL or any Libyan undertaking as defined in the 
resolution. In light of this resolution, FAC revoked section 550.516 to 
eliminate a narrow exception that had existed to the comprehensive 
blocking of GoL property required by Executive Order No. 12544 of 
January 8, 1986 (3 C.F.R., 1986 Comp., p. 183), and by the Regulations. 
A copy of the amendment is attached to this report.
  On March 21, 1994, FAC amended the Regulations to add new entries to 
appendices A and B (59 Fed. Reg. 13210). Appendix A (``Organizations 
Determined to be Within the Term `Government of Libya' (Specially 
Designated Nationals of Libya)'') is a list of organizations determined 
by the Director of FAC to be within the definition of the term 
``Government of Libya'' as set forth in section 550.304(a) of the 
Regulations, because they are owned or controlled by, or act or purport 
to act directly or indirectly on behalf of, the GoL. Appendix B 
(``Individuals Determined to be Specially Designated Nationals of the 
Government of Libya'') lists individuals determined by the Director of 
FAC to be acting or purporting to act directly or indirectly on behalf 
of the GoL, and thus to fall within the definition of the term 
``Government of Libya'' in section 550.304(a).
  Appendix A to part 550 was amended to provide public notice of the 
designation of North Africa International Bank as a Specially Designated 
National [``SDN''] of Libya. Appendix A was further amended to add new 
entries for four banks previously listed in Appendix A under other 
names. These banks are Banque Commerciale du Niger (formerly Banque 
Arabe Libyenne Nigerienne pour le Commerce Exterieur et le 
Developpement), Banque Commerciale du Sahel (formerly Banque Arabe 
Libyenne Malienne pour le Commerce Exterieur et le Developpement), 
Chinguetty Bank (formerly Banque Arabe Libyenne Mauritanienne pour le 
Commerce Exterieur et le Developpement), and Societe Interaffricaine du 
Banque (formerly Banque Arabe Libyenne Togolaise pour le Commerce 
Exterieur). These banks remain listed in Appendix A under their former 
names as well.

  Appendix B to Part 550 was amended to provide public notice of three 
individuals determined to be SDNs of the GoL: Seddigh Al Kabir, Mustafa 
Saleh Gibril, and Farag Al Amin Shallouf. Each of these three 
individuals is a Libyan national who occupies a central management 
position in a Libyan SND financial institution.
  All prohibitions in the Regulations pertaining to the GoL apply to 
the entities and individuals identified in appendices A and B. All 
unlicensed transactions with such entities or persons, or transactions 
in which they have an interest, are prohibited unless otherwise 
exempted or generally licensed in the Regulations. A copy of the 
amendment is attached to this report.
  3. During the current 6-month period, FAC made numerous decisions 
with respect to applications for licenses to engage in transactions 
under the Regulations, issuing 69 licensing determinations--both 
approvals and denials. Consistent with FAC's ongoing scrutiny of 
banking transactions, the largest category of license approvals (33) 
concerned requests by non-Libyan persons or entities to unblock bank 
accounts initially blocked because of an apparent GoL interest. The 
largest category of denials (18) was for banking transactions in which 
FAC found a GoL interest. Four licenses were issued authorizing 
intellectual property protection in Libya.
  4. During the current 6-month period, FAC continued to emphasize to 
the international banking community in the United States the importance 
of identifying and blocking payments made by or on behalf of Libya. The 
FAC worked closely with the banks to implement new interdiction 
software systems to identify such payments. As a result, during the 
reporting period, more than 126 transactions involving Libya, totaling 
more than $14.7 million, were blocked. Four of these transactions were 
subsequently licensed to be released, leaving a net amount of more than 
$12.7 million blocked.
  Since my last report, FAC collected 15 civil monetary penalties 
totaling nearly $144,000 for violations of the U.S. sanctions against 
Libya. Twelve of the violations involved the failure of banks to block 
funds transfers to Libyan-owned or -controlled banks. The other three 
penalties were received for violations involving letter of credit and 
export transactions.
  Various enforcement actions carried over from previous reporting 
periods have continued to be aggressively pursued. Open cases as of May 
27, 1994, totaled 330. Several new investigations of potentially 
significant violations of the Libyan sanctions have been initiated by 
FAC and cooperating U.S. law enforcement agencies, primarily the U.S. 
Customs Service. Many of these cases are believed to involve complex 
conspiracies to circumvent the various prohibitions of the Libyan 
sanctions, as well as the utilization of international diversionary 
shipping routes to and from Libya. The FAC has continued to work 
closely with the Department of State and Justice to identify U.S. 
persons who enter into contracts or agreements with the GoL, or other 
third-country parties, to lobby United States Government officials and 
to engage in public relations work on behalf of the GoL without FAC 
authorization.
  On May 4, 1994, FAC released a chart, ``Libya's International Banking 
Connections,'' which highlights the Libyan government's organizational 
relationship to 102 banks and other financial entities located in 40 
countries worldwide. The chart provides a detailed look at current 
Libyan shareholdings and key Libyan officers in the complex web of 
financial institutions in which

[[Page 1233]]

Libya has become involved, some of which are used by Libya to 
circumvent U.S. and U.N. sanctions. Twenty-six of the institutions 
depicted on the chart have been determined by FAC to be SDNs of Libya. 
In addition, the chart identifies 19 individual Libyan bank officers 
who have been determined to be Libyan SDNs. A copy of the chart is 
attached to this report.

  In addition, on May 4, 1994, FAC announced the addition of five 
entities and nine individuals to the list of SDNs of Libya. The five 
entities added to the SDN list are: Arab Turkish Bank, Libya Insurance 
Company, Maghreban International Trade Company, Saving and Real Estate 
Investment Bank, and Societe Maghrebine D'Investissment et de 
Participation. The nine individuals named in the notice are: Yousef 
Abd-El-Razegh Abdelmulla, Ayad S. Dahaim, El Hadi M. El-Fighi, Kamel 
El-Khallas, Mohammed Mustafa Ghadban, Mohammed Lahmar, Ragiab Saad 
Madi, Bashir M. Sharif, and Kassem M. Sherlala. All prohibitions in the 
Regulations pertaining to the GoL apply to the entities and individuals 
identified in the notice issued on May 4, 1994. All unlicensed 
transactions with such entities or persons, or transactions in which 
they have an interest, are prohibited unless otherwise exempted or 
generally licensed in the Regulations. A copy of the notice is attached 
to this report.
  The FAC also continued its efforts under the Operation Roadblock 
initiative. This ongoing program seeks to identify U.S. persons who 
travel to and/or work in Libya in violation of U.S. law.
  5. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from January 7, 1994, through July 6, 1994, that are directly 
attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the 
declaration of the Libyan national emergency are estimated at 
approximately $1 million. Personnel costs were largely centered in the 
Department of the Treasury (particularly in the Office of Foreign 
Assets Control, the Office of the General Counsel, and the U.S. Customs 
Service), the Department of State, and the Department of Commerce.
  6. The policies and actions of the GoL continue to pose an unusual 
and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
the United States. The United States continues to believe that still 
stronger international measures than those mandated by United Nations 
Security Council Resolution 883, including a worldwide oil embargo, 
should be enacted if Libya continues to defy the international 
community. We remain determined to ensure that the perpetrators of the 
terrorists acts against Pan Am 103 and UTA 772 are brought to justice. 
The families of the victims in the murderous Lockerbie bombing and 
other acts of Libyan terrorism deserve nothing less. I shall continue 
to exercise the powers at my disposal to apply economic sanctions 
against Libya fully and effectively, so long as those measures are 
appropriate, and will continue to report periodically to the Congress 
on significant developments as required by law.
                                                  William J. Clinton.

  The message, together with the accompanying papers, was referred to 
the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc.

Para. 78.15  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, 1994, 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 United States 
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.  
  The White House, July 19, 1994.

  The message, together with the accompanying papers, was referred to 
the Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-
282).

Para. 78.16  honoring astronauts for moon exploration

  Mr. Hall of Texas moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 261): 

       Whereas on May 25, 1961, the President of the United States 
     established a goal for the country to land a man on the Moon 
     and return him safely to Earth before the end of the decade;
       Whereas in furtherance of that goal, 34 American astronauts 
     flew 27 missions in space;
       Whereas in their efforts to achieve that goal, 3 astronauts 
     died in the tragic Apollo 204 fire on the launch pad and 4 
     others died in T-38 crashes while in training;
       Whereas the goal of the President was achieved on July 20, 
     1969 when the Lunar Module, Eagle, landed on the surface of 
     the Moon carrying a crew of 2 astronauts;
       Whereas a total of 24 American astronauts flew to the 
     vicinity of the Moon and 12 of them landed on and explored 
     its surface;
       Whereas the successful execution of the program to reach 
     and explore the Moon was one of the greatest achievements in 
     the history of mankind;
       Whereas the hardware and astronauts involved in the Lunar 
     program subsequently flew 3 Skylab missions, and 1 
     international Apollo-Soyuz mission;
       Whereas the astronauts who put their lives on the line by 
     flying in space in the execution of that program are true 
     national heroes; and
       Whereas these astronauts should receive popular recognition 
     from a grateful Nation for their tremendous achievement: Now, 
     therefore, be it

     concurring), That henceforth Buzz Aldrin (Gemini 12, Apollo

       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

     year 1995 for intelligence and intelligence-related 
     activities of the United States Government, the Community 
     Management Account, and the Central Intelligence Agency 
     Retirement and Disability System, and for other purposes. The 
     first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. General 
     debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one 
     hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
     ranking minority member of the Permanent Select Committee on 
     Intelligence. 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 Permanent Select 
     Committee on Intelligence now printed in the bill. The 
     committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
     considered by title rather than by section. Each title shall 
     be considered as read. Points of order against the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure to comply 
     with clause 7 of rule XVI or clause 5(a) of rule XXI are 
     waived. No amendment to the committee amendment in the nature 
     of a substitute shall be in order unless printed in the 
     portion of the Congressional Record designated for that 
     purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII before its consideration. 
     At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment 
     the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House 
     with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may 
     demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted 
     in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute. The previous 
     question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
     amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. BEILENSON, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof, 
the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

     which is appropriated more than $1,000,000 in the security, 
     countermeasures, and related activities structural category 
     for fiscal year 1995 shall allocate at least two percent of 
     their total expenditure in this structural category for 
     fiscal year 1995 to the classification management 
     consolidated expenditure center, to be used for the following 
     activities:
       (1) Development of a phased plan to implement 
     declassification guidelines contained in the executive order

     later. This plan shall include an accounting of the amount of 
     archived material, levels of classification, types of storage 
     media and locations, review methods to be employed, and 
     estimated costs of the declassification activity itself; as 
     well as an assessment by the agency of the appropriate types 
     and amounts of information to be maintained in the future,

     provide for the following:
       (1) A test for the classification of information which 
     balances the public's right to know against identifiable harm 
     to the national security which will result from public 
     disclosure.
       (2) A narrow definition of the categories of information 
     subject to classification to avoid excessive classification.
       (3) Classification periods of reasonably short duration, 
     and a determination of the date when or event upon which 
     declassification of such information shall occur, with a 
     recognition that extension of such period may be required in 
     certain circumstances.
       (4) Automatic declassification at the expiration of the 
     classification period.
       (b) Submission to Congress; Effective Date.--The plan and

     to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the 
     House of Representatives and the Select Committee on 
     Intelligence of the Senate a report (in a classified and 
     unclassified form) which identifies the following:
       (1) The cost of classifying documents and keeping 
     information classified by each agency within the intelligence 
     community.
       (2) The number of personnel within each such agency 
     assigned to classifying documents and keeping information 
     classified.
       (3) A plan to reduce expenditures for classifying 
     information and for keeping information classified, which

           TITLE IX--INTERDICTION OF AERIAL DRUG TRAFFICKING

     SEC. 901. POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES.

       It is the policy of the United States to provide 
     intelligence assistance to foreign governments to support 
     efforts by them to interdict aerial drug trafficking. The 
     United States does not condone the intentional damage or 
     destruction of aircraft in violation of international law, 
     and provides assistance to foreign governments for purposes 
     other than facilitating the intentional damage or destruction 
     of aircraft in violation of international law.

     SEC. 902. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       The Congress urges the President to review in light of this 
     title all interpretations within the executive branch of law 
     relevant to the provision of assistance to foreign 
     governments for aerial drug interdiction, with an eye to 
     affirming that continued provision by the United States of 
     such assistance conforms fully with United States and 
     international law.

  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read a third time by title.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House pass said bill?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. GLICKMAN 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

     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.

       Page 24, after line 4, insert the following new subsection:

     insurer who is required by section 3 to compile, submit, 
     maintain, and make available information may, at the 
     discretion of the insurer, comply with the requirements of 
     such section by compiling, submitting, maintaining, and 
     making such information available on the basis of census 
     tracts or 9-digit zip codes rather than on the basis of 5-
     digit zip codes.
       (2) Requirement by secretary.--The Secretary may at any 
     time, for any insurers, for any designated lines of 
     insurance, and with respect to any geographical areas, 
     require that information to be compiled, submitted, 
     maintained, and made available under section 3 shall be 
     compiled, submitted, maintained, and made available on a 
     basis of census tracts (which shall include any basis that is 
     convertible to the basis of census tracts) rather than on the 
     basis of 5-digit zip codes, but only to the extent that the 
     Secretary determines that availability of information on the 
     basis of census tracts is necessary to assess the 
     availability, affordability, or quality of type of insurance 
     coverage.
       (3) Address Conversion Software.--The Secretary shall make 
     available, to any insurer required to provide information to 
     the Secretary under section 3, computer software that can be 
     used to convert addresses from 5-digit zip code to census 
     tracts. The software shall be made available in forms that 
     provide such conversion for MSA's designated under section 
     4(a) on a nationwide basis and on a State-by-State basis and 
     shall be updated annually. The software shall be made 
     available without charge, except for an amount, determined by 
     the Secretary, which shall not exceed the actual cost of 
     reproducing the software.

     ratios,''.

     categories of 9-digit zip codes or census tracts, to the

     basis pursuant to section 6(f))''.
       Page 25, after line 5, insert the following new subsection:
       (d) Protections Regarding Loss Information.--
       (1) Prohibition of disclosure of loss information.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the 
     Secretary may not make available to the public or otherwise 
     disclose any information submitted under this act regarding 
     the amount or number of claims paid by any insurer, the 
     amount of losses of any insurer, or the loss experience for 
     any insurer, except (A) in the form of a loss ratio 
     (expressing the relationship of claims paid to premiums) made 
     available or disclosed in compliance with the provisions of 
     paragraph (2), or (B) as provided in paragraph (3).
       (2) Protection of identity of insurer.--In making available 
     to the public or otherwise disclosing a loss ratio for an 
     insurer--
       (A) the Secretary may not identify the insurer to which the 
     loss ratio relates; and
       (B) the Secretary may disclose the loss ratio only in a 
     manner that does not allow any party to determine the 
     identity of the specific insurer to which the loss ratio 
     relates, except parties having access to information under 
     paragraph (3).
       (3) Confidentiality of information disclosed to 
     governmental agencies.--The Secretary may make information 
     referred to in paragraph (1) and the identity of the specific 
     insurer to which such information relates available to any 
     Federal entity and any State agency responsible for 
     regulating insurance in a State and may otherwise disclose 
     such information to any such entity or agency, but only to 
     the extent such entity or agency agrees not to make any such 
     information available or disclose such information to any 
     other person.

  So the amendment was not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. TORRES, assumed the Chair.
  When Ms. DeLAURO, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 475, reported 
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Anti Redlining in Insurance 
     Disclosure Act''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) disparities in property and casualty insurance coverage 
     provided by insurers engaged in interstate commerce between 
     areas of different incomes and racial composition could 
     adversely affect interstate commerce and the cost and 
     availability of insurance for consumers, and
       (2) appropriate disclosures of information by insurers 
     would benefit consumers and insurance regulators.
       (b) Construction.--Nothing in this Act is intended to, nor 
     shall it be construed to, encourage unsound underwriting 
     practices.

     SEC. 3. MAINTENANCE OF INFORMATION AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE.

       (a) General Rule.--
       (1) Designated insurers.--
       (A) In general.--Except as provided by subsection (b)(7), 
     each designated insurer shall, in accordance with subsection 
     (b), annually compile, submit to the Secretary, and make 
     available to the public for each calendar year and for 
     designated lines of insurance in a designated MSA--
       (i) the total number of policies, total exposure units (in 
     car years and house years), and total earned premium of 
     insurance policies by designated line which were issued by 
     such insurer and the new written exposure units, exposure 
     units canceled, and the exposure units not renewed by such 
     insurer, and
       (ii) the number of licensed agents of such insurer whose 
     principal place of business is located in such designated MSA 
     and the number within each 5-digit zip code in such 
     designated MSA and with respect to each such agent, whether 
     such agent is an employee, independent contractor working 
     exclusively for such insurer, or an independent contractor 
     appointed to represent such insurer on a non-exclusive basis.
       (B) Submissions and availability.--The information 
     described in subparagraph (A) shall be--
       (i) submitted to the Secretary in accordance with

     the Secretary.
       (2) Non-designated insurers.--Except as provided in 
     subsection (b)(7), every insurer which sells an insurance 
     policy in a designated line of insurance in a designated MSA 
     and which is not a designated insurer in such MSA shall 
     submit to the Secretary for each calendar year in accordance 
     with subsection (d) and regulations of the Secretary the 
     total exposure units (in car years and house years) of 
     insurance policies in a designated line sold in such MSA. 
     With respect to such policies, the insurer shall report the 
     designated MSA where the insured risks are located for which 
     such insurance is issued and within such MSA report the 5-
     digit zip code where the risk is located.
       (b) Requirements.--
       (1) Content.--The information required to be maintained and 
     made available under subsection (a)(1) shall be itemized in 
     order to clearly and conspicuously disclose the policies, the 
     exposure units, and the premium amount for each line of 
     insurance for which information is required and be itemized 
     by the 5-digit zip code where the risks are located.
       (2) Availability to the public.--The information required 
     to be maintained and made available under subsection (a) 
     shall be made available to the public on a timetable 
     determined by the Secretary but not later than October 1 of 
     the calendar year following the calendar year for which the 
     information is required to be made available, except that 
     such information shall not be made available to the public 
     until it is available in its entirety but it shall be made 
     available if not all the information required to be reported 
     is available on such October 1 or on the date determined by 
     the Secretary.
       (3) Specification of data.--
       (A) In general.--With respect to information which is 
     required to be maintained and made available under subsection

     enactment of this Act.
       (4) Commercial insurance study and pilot project.--
       (A) Study.--The Secretary shall conduct a study regarding 
     the availability of commercial insurance (other than 
     professional liability insurance, workers compensation 
     insurance, and title insurance) with special emphasis on the 
     availability of commercial insurance for small business. The 
     study shall focus on--
       (i) an appropriate definition for small business; and
       (ii) preliminary views regarding the availability, cost, 
     and type of insurance coverage for small business, which may

     community.

     interested parties from a diversity of locations, including 
     State insurance regulators, consumer, community, and civil 
     rights groups, representatives of small business, 
     representatives of the insurance industry, including 
     statistical agents, and representatives of insurance 
     producers, including minority insurance producers. The 
     Secretary shall submit a report detailing the findings of the 
     study to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of 
     Representatives and the appropriate committee of the Senate 
     no later than 18 months following the date of enactment of 
     this Act.
       (B) Proposal of pilot project.--Concurrent with the conduct 
     of the study under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall 
     develop a proposed data collection pilot project in the 5 
     largest MSA's to help determine the need for any further data 
     collection requirements to evaluate the availability, cost, 
     and type of insurance coverage for small business. In 
     developing the proposed pilot project, the Secretary shall 
     consult with interested parties from a diversity of 
     locations, including State insurance regulators, consumer, 
     community, and civil rights groups, representatives of small 
     business, representatives of the insurance industry, 
     including statistical agents, and representatives of 
     insurance producers, including minority insurance producers. 
     The Secretary shall submit a specific proposal for a pilot 
     project to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House 
     of Representatives and the appropriate committee of the 
     Senate no later than 18 months following the date of 
     enactment of this Act.
       (C) Specifications for pilot project.--Immediately 
     following the submission of the proposal for a pilot project,

     and among various geographic areas,
       (iii) provide for the collection of information on an 
     individual insurer basis,
       (iv) provide the data required by clause (ii) with the 
     least burden on insurers, particularly small insurers, and 
     insurance agents, including independent insurance agents,
       (v) take into account existing statistical reporting 
     systems in the insurance industry and use existing data 
     sources to the maximum practical extent,
       (vi) include information on policies written in a residual 
     market,
       (vii) detail what data elements should be collected,
       (viii) detail what insurers should be designated insurers 
     for purposes of the pilot project,
       (ix) detail what lines of commercial insurance should be 
     designated for purposes of the pilot project, with particular 
     consideration given to commercial fire and business owners 
     lines,
       (x) include an appropriate definition of small business, if 
     necessary,
       (xi) provide data representative of at least 2 years of 
     experience and provide that the pilot project will terminate 
     no later than 2 years after its inception, and
       (xii) provide adequate lead time to insurers designated 
     under clause (viii) for the reporting to begin.
     The regulation shall be issued within 2 years of the date of 
     enactment of this Act.

     under subparagraph (C)(viii) shall report to the Secretary 
     with respect to lines of insurance designated under 
     subparagraph (C)(ix) in the 5 largest MSA's, pursuant to the 
     regulation issued by the Secretary in subparagraph (C).
       (E) Analysis of data under pilot project.--At the 
     conclusion of the pilot project, the Secretary shall analyze 
     the data collected. Within 1 year of the conclusion of the 
     pilot project, the Secretary shall report to the Committee on 
     Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the 
     appropriate committee of the Senate on--
       (i) any conclusions of the Secretary regarding the data 
     collected under the pilot project, particularly regarding the 
     availability, cost, and type of commercial insurance for 
     small business, and
       (ii) the need for further data collection requirements to 
     evaluate the availability, cost, and type of such coverage or 
     to help ensure the availability of such coverage.
       (5) Period of maintenance.--Any information required to be 
     compiled and made available under subsection (a) shall be 
     maintained and made available for a period of 3 years after 
     the close of the first year during which such information is 
     required to be maintained and made available.
       (6) Format for disclosures.--Subject to subsection (c), the 
     Secretary shall prescribe a standard format for making 
     information available as required by subsection (a). Such 
     format shall encourage the submission of information in a 
     form readable by a computer.
       (7) Exemption.--
       (A) Secretarial action.--If the Secretary determines that a 
     State has enacted a law, or otherwise implemented a 
     requirement under which--
       (i) insurers operating in that State are subject to 
     disclosure requirements on a 5-digit zip code basis 
     substantially similar to those of subsection (a),
       (ii) there are adequate provisions for enforcement, and
       (iii) the information disclosed under the State law or 
     requirement is made available to the Secretary and the public 
     in a manner similar to other information disclosed under 
     subsection (a),
     then the Secretary shall by regulation exempt insurers 
     operating in that State from complying with the requirements 
     of subsection (a) with respect to that State's portions of 
     the designated MSA's. If the Secretary determines that the 
     State law or requirement no longer meets the criteria of 
     clauses (i) through (iii) or is no longer in ef- 

[[Page 1254]]

     fect, the Secretary shall by regulation revoke the exemption.
       (B) United states program.--Reporting shall not be required 
     under subsection (a) with respect to insurance provided by a 
     program underwritten or administered by the United States.
       (c) Public Access System.--The Secretary shall implement a 
     system to facilitate public access to information required to 
     be made available to the public under subsection (a). Such 
     system shall include arrangements for a central depository of 
     information in each designated MSA and for a telephone number 
     which can be used by the public, at cost, to request such 
     information. Statements shall be made available to the public 
     for inspection and copying at such central depository of 
     information for all designated insurers within such MSA. The 
     Secretary shall also make copies of such statements available 
     in forms readable by widely used personal computers, such as 
     in disc format. The Secretary may charge a fee for such 
     information, which may not exceed the amount, determined by 
     the Secretary, that is equal to the cost of reproducing the 
     information.
       (d) Submission to Secretary.--With respect to the 
     information required to be submitted under subsection (a) to 
     the Secretary, the Secretary shall develop regulations 
     prescribing the format and method for submitting such 
     information. Such regulations shall ensure uniformity among 
     insurers, to the extent practicable, in the format used for 
     reporting, including the definitions of data elements. Any 
     reporting insurer may submit in writing to the Secretary such 
     additional data or explanations as it deems relevant to the 
     decision by such insurer to sell insurance.

     SEC. 4. DESIGNATIONS.

       (a) Designations by the Secretary.--
       (1) Designations of msa's.--The Secretary shall designate 
     the MSA's for which reporting is required under section 3(a). 
     The Secretary shall designate the 25 MSA's having the largest 
     population.
       (2) Designation of insurers.--For each MSA designated under 
     paragraph (1), the Secretary shall take the following 
     actions:
       (A) The Secretary shall designate the insurers transacting 
     insurance business in such MSA for which reporting is 
     required under section 3(a). At a minimum, the Secretary 
     shall designate the 25 insurers in such MSA having the 
     largest premium volume in the designated lines of insurance 
     in each State in which such MSA is located.
       (B) In addition to the insurers designated under 
     subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall also designate any 
     entity primarily providing insurance in a designated line of 
     insurance as part of a residual market established by State 
     law.
       (C) The Secretary shall also designate, in addition to the 
     insurers designated under subparagraphs (A) and (B), insurers 
     who specialize in selling insurance in urban areas, including 
     surplus lines insurers.
       (D) The Secretary shall also designate, in addition to the 
     insurers designated under subparagraph (A), (B), and (C) 
     insurers such that insurers representing at least 80 percent 
     of the premium volume in each State in which such MSA is 
     located in the designated line of insurance are designated in 
     such MSA. The Secretary may not designate additional insurers 
     under this subparagraph if their market share in the 
     designated line of insurance in the applicable States, as 
     measured by premium volume in each State in which such MSA is 
     located, is under 1 percent.
       (E) In addition to the insurers designated under 
     subparagraph (A), (B), (C), and (D) the Secretary may by 
     regulation designate additional insurers in a MSA if the 
     designation of additional insurers is necessary to provide 
     valid data with respect to the availability, cost, and type 
     of insurance in the MSA.
       (F) The Secretary shall revoke the designation of an 
     insurer designated under subparagraph (A) as follows: If such 
     designated insurer has a market share in a designated line of 
     insurance in a MSA, as measured by premium volume in each 
     State in which such MSA is located, of under 1 percent, the 
     Secretary shall revoke the designation of such insurer 
     beginning with the insurer with the smallest market share of 
     such insurance if the remainder of the designated insurers 
     have a market share of at least 75 percent of such insurance 
     as measured by premium volume in each State in which such MSA 
     is located. In addition, the Secretary may revoke the 
     designation of any insurer designated under subparagraph (A) 
     with a market share in a designated line of insurance in a 
     MSA, as measured by premium volume in each State in which 
     such MSA is located, of under 1 percent if such designation 
     has not been revoked under this subparagraph and if such 
     insurer primarily sells insurance in rural areas of such MSA.
       (G) For purposes of this paragraph, insurers which are 
     affiliated or are members of the same group shall be 
     considered together as one insurer.
       (3) Designation of lines of insurance.--For each MSA 
     designated under paragraph (1) the following are the

     the reporting of data on insurance provides for the reporting 
     of data in a manner compatible with section 3(a),
       (B) the statistical agent reports such data on an

     Secretary are not subject to adjustment by the statistical 
     agent or an insurer for reasons other than technical accuracy 
     and conformance to the statistical plan,
       (E) the statistical agent ensures that the data of one 
     insurer is not subject to review by other insurers before 
     public availability, and
       (F) the statistical agent provides for the reporting of 
     data in a manner compatible with the format prescribed by the 
     Secretary under section 3(d).
       (2) Discontinuance of data acceptance.--The Secretary may, 
     after providing an opportunity for a hearing, discontinue 
     accepting data reported under section 3(a) by a statistical 
     agent acting on behalf of more than one insurer if the 
     Secretary determines the requirements for acceptance of data 
     in paragraph (1) are no longer met.

     authority to review and audit any data collection and 
     reporting per- 

[[Page 1255]]

     statistical agent, to ensure that the integrity of the data 
     collected and reported is protected.
       (e) Burdens on Insurance Agents.--In prescribing 
     regulations under this Act, the Secretary shall take into 
     consideration the administrative, paperwork, and other 
     burdens on insurance agents, including independent insurance 
     agents, involved in complying with the requirements of this 
     Act and shall minimize the burdens imposed by such 
     requirements with respect to such agents.

     the laws of any State or subdivision thereof with respect to 
     public disclosure and recordkeeping.

     SEC. 8. COMPILATION OF AGGREGATE DATA.

       (a) Scope of Data and Tables.--The Secretary shall compile 
     each year, for each MSA, data aggregated by 5-digit zip code 
     for all insurers who are subject to section 3 or who are 
     exempt from section 3 under subsection (b)(7)(A) of such 
     section. The Secretary shall also produce tables indicating, 
     for each MSA, insurance policies aggregated for various 
     categories of 5-digit zip codes grouped according to 
     location, age of property, income level, and racial 
     characteristics of neighborhood.
       (b) Aggregation of Information.--Statistical agents may 
     aggregate the data of insurers that report to them and may 
     provide such information to the Secretary. The Secretary may 
     also provide the individual company data submitted by 
     insurers to statistical agents for aggregation.
       (c) Availability to Public.--The data compiled and the 
     tables produced pursuant to subsection (a) shall be made 
     available to the public on a timetable determined by the 
     Secretary but not later than October 1 of the year following 
     the calendar year on which the data and tables are based.

     each day during which such violation continues.
       (b) Injunction.--The Secretary may bring an action in an 
     appropriate United States district court for appropriate 
     declaratory and injunctive relief against any insurer who 
     violates the requirements of section 3.

     Act shall not be in effect after the expiration of 5 years 
     from its effective date. Prior to the expiration of 4 years 
     from such date, the Secretary shall report to the Energy and 
     Commerce Committee of the House of Representatives and the 
     appropriate committee of the Senate--
       (1) the quality of data received under section 3 and the 
     effectiveness of the data requirement, including the relation 
     between the cost of such data gathering and the benefits from 
     having such data available,
       (2) the appropriateness of the geographic data reporting 
     units,
       (3) the need for continued reporting by the designated 
     insurers in urban areas,
       (4) the efforts of insurers to meet the insurance needs of 
     minority and low-income neighborhoods, and
       (5) such other information as the Secretary determines will 
     assist in considering an extension of this Act.
       (b) Extension.--Based on the Secretary's report on the need 
     described in subsection (a)(3) and the information described 
     in subsection (a)(5), the Secretary may extend this Act for 
     one period of 2 years.

     SEC. 11. STUDIES.

       (a) Study of Information on Insurance Applicants.--

     determine the feasibility and utility of the collection of 
     information with respect to the characteristics of applicants 
     for insurance and reasons for rejection of applicants. The 
     study shall examine the extent to which--
       (A) oral applications or representations are used by 
     insurers and agents in making determinations regarding 
     whether or not to insure a prospective insured,
       (B) written applications are used by insurers and agents in 
     making determinations regarding whether or not to insure a 
     prospective insured,

     to a prospective insured or has determined that the 
     prospective insured is eligible for insurance, and
       (D) prospective insureds are discouraged from submitting 
     applications for insurance based, in whole or in part, on--

     and value of the risk to be insured.
       (2) Report.--The Secretary shall report the results of the 
     study under paragraph (1) to the Committee on Energy and 
     Commerce of the House of Representatives and the appropriate

Para. 79.27  ``structured debate''

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. NADLER, made the following statement in 
behalf of the Speaker:

[[Page 1257]]

  The House will again, as it did on May 4, 1994, conduct a structured 
debate on a mutually agreed upon subject. A Member recognized by the 
Speaker and holding the floor as moderator will yield time to eight 
Members on two teams, with each team composed of two Members from the 
Majority Party and two Members from the Minority Party.
  The primary purpose of this debate is to enhance the quality of the 
deliberative process of the House of Representatives, so as to enable 
all Members to be better informed and to participate in subsequent 
debates and decisions on major issues.
  Under the previous orders of February 11 and June 10, 1994, Mr. Cardin 
will be recognized to moderate a structured debate in the format and 
sequence that he will describe, which has been mutually established by 
the Majority and Minority Leaders.
  The rules of the House with respect to decorum and proper forms of 
address to the Chair will apply during this debate. The moderator will 
yield time to the participants, and will insist that Members not 
interrupt on other Members' time. As part of the experiment--and not as 
a precedent for other proceedings of the House--the moderator and the 
participants will have the aid of a visual timing device.

  So the previous question on the resolution was ordered.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BILBRAY, announced that the yeas had it.
  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. 80.10  subpoena

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

                                Congress of the United States,

                                    Washington, DC, July 20, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: The purpose of this letter is to notify 
     you pursuant to Rule L (50) of the Rules of the House that I 
     have been served with a subpoena issued by the United States 
     Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania for 
     materials related to a bankruptcy case.
       This subpoena was issued to my office at 3:30 p.m. on July 
     19, 1994, seeking my presence and documents in Bankruptcy 
     Court at 10:00 a.m., July 20, 1994, when I will be in 
     Washington conducting official business.
       After consultation with the General Counsel, he has 
     determined that compliance with the subpoena at this time is 
     not consistent with the privileges and precedents of the 
     House. I acknowledge his determination and have agreed not to 
     provide documents which might infringe on the rights of the 
     House of Representatives.
           Sincerely,
                                                Paul E. Kanjorski,
                                               Member of Congress.

Para. 80.11  message from the president--bulgaria-mfn

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  On June 3, 1993, I determined and reported to the Congress that 
Bulgaria is in full compliance with the freedom of emigration criteria 
of sections 402 and 409 of the Trade Act of 1974. This determination 
allowed for the continuation of most-favored-nation (MFN) status and 
certain United States Government financial programs for Bulgaria 
without the requirement of a waiver.
  As required by law, I am submitting an updated 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 areas of emigration and human 
rights policy.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, July 21, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed (H. Doc. 103-283).

Para. 80.12  budget control

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BILBRAY, pursuant to House Resolution 484 
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. 4604) to establish direct spending targets, and for other 
purposes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. BILBRAY, by unanimous consent, designated 
Mr. VISCLOSKY as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole; and after some 
time spent therein,

Para. 80.13  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. KASICH:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Mandatory Spending Control 
     Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT AND ENFORCEMENT OF MANDATORY SPENDING 
                   LIMITS.

       (a) Definitions.--Section 250(c) of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (3), by inserting ``(A)'' after ``(3)'' 
     and by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:

[[Page 1261]]

       ``(B) The term `mandatory spending breach' means, for any 
     fiscal year, the amount (if any) by which estimated outlays 
     for that year for mandatory spending exceed the mandatory 
     spending limit for that year set forth in the most recently 
     adopted joint resolution on the budget.''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(22) The term `mandatory spending' means direct spending 
     excluding--
       ``(A) social security;
       ``(B) net interest;
       ``(C) deposit insurance;
       ``(D) any program with projected annual spending of less 
     than $50 million in outlays for the budget year;
       ``(E) payments from one direct spending account to another;
       ``(F) offsetting receipts and collections; or
       ``(G) other non-budgetary activities and prior legal 
     obligations set forth in section 252B(u).''.
       (b) Mandatory Spending Limits.--(1) Part C of the Balanced 
     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is amended 
     by adding after section 252 the following new sections:

     ``SEC. 252A. ENFORCING MANDATORY SPENDING LIMITS.

       ``(a) Fiscal Years 1996-1998 Enforcement.--
       ``(1) Sequestration.--Within 15 calendar days after 
     Congress adjourns to end a session and on the same day as a 
     sequestration (if any) under sections 251, 252, and 253, but 
     after such sequestrations, there shall be a sequestration to 
     eliminate a budget-year mandatory spending breach, if any, of 
     the mandatory spending limit. OMB shall use current economic 
     and technical estimates to carry out this section and in 
     making its estimates of mandatory spending shall take into 
     account any enacted legislation and any savings resulting 
     from a section 252 sequestration.
       ``(2) Eliminating a mandatory spending breach.--Each 
     mandatory spending program (or accounts comprising a program) 
     that exceeds its mandatory spending program cap established 
     by law under section 310 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
     1974 for the budget year shall be reduced by the amount by 
     which estimated outlays for that program exceeds its 
     mandatory spending program cap. If that sequestration is 
     insufficient to eliminate the mandatory spending breach, then 
     each mandatory spending account for which no mandatory 
     spending program cap was established by law under section 310 
     of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 for the budget year 
     shall be reduced by the uniform percentage necessary to 
     eliminate the remaining budget-year mandatory spending breach 
     of the mandatory spending limit.
       ``(3) Look-back.--If legislation is enacted providing 
     mandatory spending that causes a mandatory spending breach 
     for the current year that was not included in the final 
     sequester report for that year, the mandatory spending limit 
     for the next fiscal year shall be reduced by the amount of 
     that breach.
       ``(b) Scorekeeping and Adjustments for Emergencies.--
       ``(1) Scorekeeping.--OMB and CBO shall prepare estimates 
     under this subsection in conformance with scorekeeping 
     guidelines determined after consultation among the House and 
     Senate Committees on the Budget, CBO, and OMB.
       ``(2) Treatment of emergencies.--When OMB submits a 
     sequestration report under section 254(g), the sequestration 
     report shall exclude any provision of mandatory spending 
     legislation that is enacted and that the President designates 
     as emergency requirements and the Congress so designates in 
     statute as an emergency.

     ``SEC. 252B. GENERAL AND SPECIAL SEQUESTRATION RULES.

       ``(a) Permanent Sequestration of Mandatory Spending.--
       ``(1) The rules set forth in this section apply only to 
     sequestrations that occur under section 252A.
       ``(2) Obligations in sequestered mandatory spending 
     accounts shall be reduced in the fiscal year in which a 
     sequestration occurs and in all succeeding fiscal years. 
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, after 
     the first mandatory spending sequestration, any later 
     sequestration shall reduce mandatory spending by an amount in 
     addition to, rather than in lieu of, the reduction in 
     mandatory spending in place under the existing sequestration 
     or sequestrations.
       ``(b) Uniform Percentages.--
       ``(1) In the case of a program for which a mandatory 
     spending program cap has been established under section 310 
     of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the uniform 
     percentage is the percentage reduction in spending required 
     to reduce spending for that program to its cap level. In the 
     case of a program for which no mandatory spending program cap 
     has been established under that section, the uniform 
     percentage is the percentage reduction in spending required 
     to eliminate the remaining budget-year breach of the 
     mandatory spending limit.
       ``(2) The sequestrable base for mandatory spending rules 
     and activities is the total budget-year level of outlays for 
     those programs or activities in the current policy baseline 
     minus--
       ``(A) those budget-year outlays resulting from obligations 
     incurred in the current or prior fiscal years, and
       ``(B) those budget-year outlays resulting from exemptions.
       ``(3) For any direct spending program in which--
       ``(A) outlays pay for entitlement benefits,
       ``(B) a budget-year sequestration takes effect after the 
     1st day of the budget year, and
       ``(C) that delay reduces the amount of entitlement 
     authority that is subject to sequestration in the budget 
     year,

     the uniform percentage otherwise applicable to the 
     sequestration of that program in the budget year shall be 
     increased as necessary to achieve the same budget-year outlay 
     reduction in that program as would have been achieved had 
     there been no delay.
       ``(4) If the uniform percentage otherwise applicable to the 
     budget-year sequestration of a program or activity is 
     increased under paragraph (3), then it shall revert to the 
     uniform percentage calculated under paragraph (2) when the 
     budget year is completed.
       ``(c) General Rules for Sequestration.--
       ``(1) Indefinite authority.--Except as otherwise provided, 
     sequestration in accounts for which obligations are 
     indefinite shall be taken in a manner to ensure that 
     obligations in the fiscal year of a sequestration and 
     succeeding fiscal years are reduced, from the level that 
     would actually have occurred, by the applicable sequestration 
     percentage or percentages.
       ``(2) Cancellation of budgetary resources.--Budgetary 
     resources sequestered from any account other than an 
     entitlement trust, special, or revolving fund account shall 
     revert to the Treasury and be permanently canceled or 
     repealed.
       ``(3) Indexed benefit payments.--If, under any entitlement 
     program--
       ``(A) benefit payments are made to persons or governments 
     more frequently than once a year, and
       ``(B) the amount of entitlement authority is periodically 
     adjusted under existing law to reflect changes in a price 
     index,
     then for the first fiscal year to which a sequestration order 
     applies, the benefit reductions in that program accomplished 
     by the order shall take effect starting with the payment made 
     at the beginning of January or 7 weeks after the order is 
     issued, whichever is later. For the purposes of this 
     subsection, Veterans Compensation shall be considered a 
     program that meets the conditions of the preceding sentence.
       ``(4) Programs, projects, or activities.--Except as 
     otherwise provided, the same percentage sequestration shall 
     apply to all programs, projects, and activities within a 
     budget account (with programs, projects, and activities as 
     delineated in the appropriation Act or accompanying report 
     for the relevant fiscal year covering that account, or for 
     accounts not included in appropriation Acts, as delineated in 
     the most recently submitted President's budget).
       ``(5) Implementing regulations.--Administrative regulations 
     or similar actions implementing the sequestration of a 
     program or activity shall be made within 120 days of the 
     effective date of the sequestration of that program or 
     activity.
       ``(6) Distribution formulas.--To the extent that 
     distribution or allocation formulas differ at different 
     levels of budgetary resources within an account, program, 
     project, or activity, a sequestration shall be interpreted as 
     producing a lower total appropriation, with that lower 
     appropriation being obligated as though it had been the pre-
     sequestration appropriation and no sequestration had 
     occurred.
       ``(7) Contingent fees.--In any account for which fees 
     charged to the public are legally determined by the level of 
     appropriations, fees shall be charged on the basis of the 
     presequestration level of appropriations.
       ``(d) Non-JOBS Portion of AFDC.--Any sequestration order 
     shall accomplish the full amount of any required reduction in 
     payments for the non-jobs portion of the aid to families with 
     dependent children program under the Social Security Act by 
     reducing the Federal reimbursement percentage (for the fiscal 
     year involved) by multiplying that reimbursement percentage, 
     on a State-by-State basis, by the uniform percentage 
     applicable to the sequestration of nonexempt direct spending 
     programs or activities.
       ``(e) JOBS Portion of AFDC.--
       ``(1) Full amount of sequestration required.--Any 
     sequestration order shall accomplish the full amount of any 
     required reduction of the job opportunities and basic skills 
     training program under section 402(a)(19), and part F of 
     title VI, of the Social Security Act, in the manner specified 
     in this subsection. Such an order may not reduce any Federal 
     matching rate pursuant to section 403(l) of the Social 
     Security Act.
       ``(2) New allotment formula.--
       ``(A) General rule.--Notwithstanding section 403(k) of the 
     Social Security Act, each State's percentage share of the 
     amount available after sequestration for direct spending 
     pursuant to section 403(l) of such Act shall be equal to that 
     percentage of the total amount paid to the States pursuant to 
     such section 403(l) for the prior fiscal year that is 
     represented by the amount paid to such State pursuant to such 
     section 403(l) for the prior fiscal year, except that a State 
     may not be allotted an amount under this subparagraph that 
     exceeds the amount that would have been allotted to such 
     State pursuant to such section 403(k) had the sequestration 
     not been in effect.
       ``(B) Reallotment of amounts remaining unallotted after 
     application of general rule.--Any amount made available after 
     sequestration for direct spending pursuant to section 403(l) 
     of the Social Security Act that remains unallotted as a 
     result of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall be 
     allotted among the States in proportion to the absolute 
     difference between the amount allotted,

[[Page 1262]]

     respectively, to each State as a result of such subparagraph 
     and the amount that would have been allotted to such State 
     pursuant to section 403(k) of such Act had the sequestration 
     not been in effect, except that a State may not be allotted 
     an amount under this subparagraph that results in a total 
     allotment to the State under this paragraph of more than the 
     amount that would have been allotted to such State pursuant 
     to such section 403(k) had the sequestration not been in 
     effect.
       ``(f) Child Support Enforcement Program.--Any sequestration 
     order shall accomplish the full amount of any required 
     reduction in payments under sections 455 and 458 of the 
     Social Security Act by reducing the Federal matching rate for 
     State administrative costs under the program, as specified 
     (for the fiscal year involved) in section 455(a) of such Act, 
     to the extent necessary to reduce such expenditures by that 
     amount.
       ``(g) Commodity Credit Corporation.--
       ``(1) Effective date.--For the Commodity Credit 
     Corporation, the date on which a sequestration order takes 
     effect in a fiscal year shall vary for each crop of a 
     commodity. In general, the sequestration order shall take 
     effect when issued, but for each crop of a commodity for 
     which 1-year contracts are issued as an entitlement, the 
     sequestration order shall take effect with the start of the 
     sign-up period for that crop that begins after the 
     sequestration order is issued. Payments for each contract in 
     such a crop shall be reduced under the same terms and 
     conditions.
       ``(2) Dairy program.--(A) As the sole means of achieving 
     any reduction in outlays under the milk price-support 
     program, the Secretary of Agriculture shall provide for a 
     reduction to be made in the price received by producers for 
     all milk produced in the United States and marketed by 
     producers for commercial use. That price reduction (measured 
     in cents per hundredweight of milk marketed) shall occur 
     under subparagraph (A) of section 201(d)(2) of the 
     Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1446(d)(2)(A)), shall 
     begin on the day any sequestration order is issued, and shall 
     not exceed the aggregate amount of the reduction in outlays 
     under the milk price-support program, that otherwise would 
     have been achieved by reducing payments made for the purchase 
     of milk or the products of milk under this subsection during 
     that fiscal year.
       ``(3) Effect of delay.--For purposes of subsection (b)(1), 
     the sequestrable base for the Commodity Credit Corporation is 
     the budget-year level of gross outlays resulting from new 
     budget authority that is subject to reduction under 
     paragraphs (1) and (2), and subsection (b)(2) shall not 
     apply.
       ``(4) Certain authority not to be limited.--Nothing in this 
     Act shall restrict the Corporation in the discharge of its 
     authority and responsibility as a corporation to buy and sell 
     commodities in world trade, or limit or reduce in any way any 
     appropriation that provides the Corporation with funds to 
     cover its net realized losses.
       ``(h) Conservation Reserve Program.--Multiyear contracts 
     under the conservation reserve program shall be considered 
     binding and not subject to sequestration, but any contract 
     entered into after a sequestration applicable to that program 
     takes effect shall provide for payments reduced by the 
     uniform percentage or percentages applicable to that 
     sequestration.
       ``(i) Extended Unemployment Compensation.--(1) A State may 
     reduce each weekly benefit payment made under the Federal-
     State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 for any 
     week of unemployment occurring during any period with respect 
     to which payments are reduced under any sequestration order 
     by a percentage not to exceed the percentage by which the 
     Federal payment to the State under section 204 of such Act is 
     to be reduced for such week as a result of such order.
       ``(2) A reduction by a State in accordance with 
     subparagraph (A) shall not be considered as a failure to 
     fulfill the requirements of section 3304(a)(11) of the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
       ``(j) Federal Employees Health Benefits Fund.--For the 
     Federal Employees Health Benefits Fund, a sequestration order 
     shall take effect with the next open season. The 
     sequestration shall be accomplished by annual payments from 
     that Fund to the General Fund of the Treasury. Those annual 
     payments shall be financed solely by charging higher 
     premiums. For purposes of subsection (b)(1), the sequestrable 
     base for the Fund is the budget-year level of gross outlays 
     resulting from claims paid after the sequestration order 
     takes effect, and subsection (b)(2) shall not apply.

     The premium increases under paragraph (2) shall begin with 
     the open season that occurs nearest to September 30 of the 
     fiscal year to which the sequestration first applies. If 
     those premium increases take effect in the first fiscal year 
     of a sequestration, the amount collected by the Fund in that 
     fiscal year as a result shall be used to partially finance 
     the payment to the Treasury required in that year, and the 
     amount of the recall under paragraph (1) shall be diminished 
     accordingly.
       ``(k) Federal Housing Finance Board.--Any sequestration of 
     the Federal Housing Finance Board shall be accomplished by 
     annual payments (by the end of each fiscal year) from that

     after the sequestration order is issued, the Postmaster 
     General shall submit to the Postal Rate Commission a plan for 
     financing the annual payment for that fiscal year and publish 
     that plan in the Federal Register. The plan may assume 
     efficiencies in the operation of the Postal Service, 
     reductions in capital expenditures, increases in the prices 
     of services, or any combination, but may not assume a lower 
     Fund surplus or higher Fund deficit and must follow the 
     requirements of existing law governing the Postal Service in 
     all other respects. Within 30 days of the receipt of that 
     plan, the Postal Rate Commission shall approve the plan or

     possible during the fiscal year, except that it may be made 
     in installments within that year if the payment schedule is 
     approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. Annual payments by 
     a fund may be financed by reductions in costs required to 
     produce the presequester amount of power (but those 
     reductions shall not include reductions in the amount of 
     power supplied by the fund), by reductions in capital 
     expenditures, by increases in rates, or by any combination, 
     but may not be financed by a lower fund surplus or a higher 
     fund deficit and must follow the requirements of existing law 
     governing the fund in all other respects. The administrator 
     of a fund or the TVA Board is authorized to take the actions 
     specified above in order to make the annual payments to the

     origination fees shall be increased by the same percentage,

     SEC. 4. ESTABLISHMENT OF DIRECT SPENDING TARGETS.

       (a) Coverage.--The direct spending targets shall apply to 
     all direct spending programs within the Federal budget except 
     for net interest and deposit insurance.
       (b) Initial Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date

     Congress setting forth the direct spending targets for each 
     of fiscal years 1995 through 2000 in accordance with this 
     section.
       (c) Determining Direct Spending Limits.--In calculating the 
     direct spending targets, OMB shall--
       (1) calculate the projected level of direct spending 
     outlays for fiscal year 1995;
       (2) calculate the increase in the direct spending targets 
     for each subsequent fiscal year through fiscal year 2000 to 
     allow growth in direct spending outlays to reflect--
       (A) changes in the Consumer Price Index;
       (B) changes in the number of beneficiaries under direct 
     spending programs for which the number of beneficiaries is a 
     variable in determining costs;

       (i) 1 percent in 1996;
       (ii) 1 percent in 1997;
       (iii) 1 percent in 1998; and
       (D) for offsetting receipts, the calculation pursuant to 
     this subsection shall allow offsetting receipts to decrease 
     to reflect change in the Consumer Price Index.
       (d) Adjustment for Health Care Reform.--OMB shall calculate 
     adjustments to the direct spending targets to reflect any 
     increase in direct spending resulting from health care reform 
     legislation, enacted into law by December 31, 1994, if such

     period of fiscal years 1995 through 1999.
       (e) Annual Adjustments.--When the President submits a 
     budget under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, 
     for a fiscal year, OMB shall calculate adjustments to the 
     direct spending targets to reflect the following:
       (1) Changes in inflation projections from the Director's 
     initial report under section 4(b).
       (2) Changes in projections of the number of beneficiaries 
     from the Director's initial report under section 4(b).
       (3) The costs of direct spending legislation to the extent 
     that it is offset by revenue increases or designated as an 
     emergency by Congress and the President under section 252 of 
     the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
     1985.
       (4) Legislation reducing direct spending to to the extent 
     that it offsets the deficit impact of a tax cut under section 
     252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act 
     of 1985.

     SEC. 5. SPECIAL DIRECT SPENDING MESSAGE BY PRESIDENT.

       (a) Special Message.--If the OMB sequestration preview 
     report submitted under section 12(e) indicates that direct 
     spending for the budget year or any outyear will exceed the 
     applicable direct spending target, the budget submitted under 
     section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, shall 
     include a special direct spending message that includes 
     proposed legislative changes to offset the net deficit impact 
     of the excess identified by that OMB sequestration preview 
     report for each such year through any combination of:
       (1) Reductions in direct spending outlays.
       (2) Increases in the direct spending targets, if the 
     President has submits a written determination that, because 
     of economic or programmatic reasons, only some or none of the 
     excess should be offset.
       (b) Introduction of President's Package.--Within 10 days 
     after the President submitted a special direct spending 
     message, the text referred to in subsection (a) shall be 
     introduced as a concurrent resolution in the House of 
     Representatives by the chairman of

[[Page 1266]]

     its Committee on the Budget and in the Senate by the chairman 
     of its Committee on the Budget. If the chairman fails to do 
     so, after the 10th day the resolution may be introduced by 
     any Member of the House of Representatives or the Senate, as 
     the case may be. A concurrent resolution introduced under 
     this subsection shall be referred to the Committee on the 
     Budget of the House of Representatives or the Senate, as the 
     case may be.

     SEC. 6. CONGRESSIONAL ACTION REQUIRED.

       (a) In General.--The requirements of this section shall be 
     in effect for any year in which the OMB sequestration preview 
     report submitted under section 12(e) indicates that direct 
     spending for the budget year or any outyear will exceed the 
     applicable direct spending target.
       (b) Requirements for Special Budget Resolution in the 
     House.--The Committee on the Budget in the House shall report 
     not later than March 15 a concurrent resolution, either as a 
     separate section of the concurrent resolution on the budget 
     reported pursuant to section 301 of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974 or as a separate resolution, that includes 
     reconciliation instructions instructing the appropriate 
     committees of the House and Senate to report changes in laws 
     within their jurisdiction to offset any excess in direct 
     spending identified in the OMB sequestration preview report 
     submitted under section 12(e) as follows:
       (1) Reductions in direct spending programs.
       (2) Increases in the direct spending targets, except that 
     any increase in those targets may not be greater than the 
     increase included in the special reconciliation message 
     submitted by the President.
       (c) Procedure If House Budget Committee Fails to Report 
     Required Resolution.--
       (1) Automatic discharge of house budget committee.--In the 
     event that the House Committee on the Budget fails to report 
     a resolution meeting the requirements of subsection (b), the 
     committee shall be automatically discharged from further 
     consideration of the concurrent resolution reflecting the 
     President's recommendations introduced pursuant to section 
     5(b), and the concurrent resolution shall be placed on the 
     appropriate calendar.
       (2) Consideration by house of discharged resolution.--Ten 
     days after the House Committee on the Budget has been 
     discharged under paragraph (1), any member may move that the 
     House proceed to consider the resolution. Such motion shall 
     be highly privileged and not debatable. It shall not be in 
     order to consider any amendment to the resolution except 
     amendments which are germane and which do not change the net 
     deficit impact of the resolution. Consideration of such 
     resolution shall be pursuant to the procedures set forth in 
     section 305 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and 
     subsection (d).
       (d) Consideration by the House of Representatives.--(1) It 
     shall not be in order in the House of Representatives to 
     consider a concurrent resolution on the budget unless that 
     concurrent resolution fully addresses the entirety of any 
     excess of the direct spending targets as identified in the 
     OMB sequestration preview report submitted under section 
     12(e) through reconciliation instructions requiring spending 
     reductions, or changes in the direct spending targets.
       (2) If the concurrent resolution on the budget proposes to 
     eliminate or offset less than the entire excess for budget 
     year and any subsequent fiscal years, then the Committee on 
     the Budget shall report a separate resolution directing the 
     Committee on Government Operations to report legislation in- 
     creasing the direct spending targets for each applicable year 
     by the full amount of the excess not offset or eliminated. It 
     shall not be in order to consider any concurrent resolution 
     on the budget that does not offset the full amount of the 
     excess until the House of Representatives has agreed to the 
     resolution directing the increase in the direct spending 
     targets.
       (e) Transmittal to Senate.--If a concurrent resolution 
     passes the House pursuant to subsection (d), the Clerk of the 
     House of Representatives shall cause the resolution to be 
     engrossed, certified, and transmitted to the Senate within 
     one calendar day of the day on which the resolution is 
     passed. The resolution shall be referred to the Senate 
     Committee on the Budget.
       (f) Requirements for Special Budget Resolution in the 
     Senate.--The Committee on the Budget in the Senate shall 
     report not later than April 1 a concurrent resolution, either 
     as a separate section of a budget resolution reported 
     pursuant to section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
     1974 or as a separate resolution, that shall include 
     reconciliation instructions instructing the appropriate 
     committees of the House and Senate to report changes in laws 
     within their jurisdiction to offset any excess through any 
     combination of:
       (1) Reductions in direct spending programs.
       (2) Increases in the direct spending targets, except that 
     any increase in those targets may not be greater than the 
     increase included in the special reconciliation message 
     submitted by the President.
       (g) Procedure if Senate Budget Committee Fails to Report 
     Required Resolution.--
       (1) Automatic discharge of senate budget committee.--In the 
     event that the Senate Committee on the Budget fails to report 
     a resolution meeting the requirements of subsection (f), the 
     committee shall be automatically discharged from further 
     consideration of the concurrent resolution reflecting the 
     President's recommendations introduced pursuant to section 
     5(b), and the concurrent resolution shall be placed on the 
     appropriate calendar.
       (2) Consideration by senate of discharged resolution.--Ten 
     days after the Senate Committee on the Budget has been 
     discharged under paragraph (1), any member may move that the 
     Senate proceed to consider the resolution. Such motion shall 
     be privileged and not debatable. Consideration of such 
     resolution shall be pursuant to the procedures set forth in 
     section 305 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and 
     subsection (h).
       (h) Consideration by Senate.--(1) It shall not be in order 
     in the Senate to consider a concurrent resolution on the 
     budget unless that concurrent resolution fully addresses the 
     entirety of any excess of the direct spending targets as 
     identified in the OMB sequestration report submitted under 
     section 12(e) through reconciliation instructions requiring 
     direct spending reductions, or changes in the direct spending 
     targets.
       (2) If the concurrent resolution on the budget proposes to 
     eliminate or offset less than the entire overage of a budget 
     year, then the Committee on the Budget shall report a 
     resolution increasing the direct spending target by the full 
     amount of the overage not eliminated. It shall not be in 
     order to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget 
     that does not offset the entire amount of the overage until 
     the Senate has agreed to the resolution directing the 
     increase in the direct spending targets.
       (i) Conference Reports Must Fully Address Overage.--It 
     shall not be in order in the House of Representatives or the 
     Senate to consider a conference report on a concurrent 
     resolution on the budget unless that conference report fully 
     addresses the entirety of any excess identified by the OMB 
     sequestration preview report submitted pursuant to section 
     12(e) through reconciliation instructions requiring direct 
     spending reductions, or changes in the direct spending 
     targets.
       (j) Waivers.--The points of order established by subsection 
     (d)(1), (h)(1), or (i) may be waived or suspended--
       (1) in the House of Representatives only by a resolution 
     devoted solely to the subject of waiving that point of order, 
     or
       (2) in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members duly chosen and sworn.

     SEC. 7. SPIN-OFF LEGISLATION.

       (a) Allocations of Direct Spending.--The joint explanatory 
     statement accompanying a conference report on a concurrent 
     resolution on the budget shall include an estimated 
     allocation based upon such concurrent resolution as 
     recommended in such conference report, of the appropriate 
     levels of direct spending budget authority and outlays for 
     each major functional category.
       (b) Introduction of Spin-Off Legislation.--On the third 
     legislative day after adoption of a concurrent resolution on 
     the budget, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget of 
     the House of Representatives or the Senate, as the case may 
     be, shall introduce legislation specifying the budget year 
     amount of direct spending allowed by budget functional 
     categories, based on the allocations set forth in the joint 
     explanatory statement accompanying the conference report on 
     such concurrent resolution. The total amount of direct 
     spending under such legislation may not exceed the target set 
     forth for that fiscal year by section 4 unless Congress has 
     adopted a resolution directing an increase in the direct 
     spending targets. Legislation introduced under this 
     subsection shall be referred to the Committee on the Budget.
       (c) Procedure in House of Representatives.--
       (1) Automatic discharge of house budget committee.--In the 
     event that the House Budget Committee fails to report 
     legislation introduced pursuant to subsection (b) within 7 
     legislative days of the introduction of the bill in the 
     House, the committee shall be automatically discharged from 
     further consideration of such legislation.
       (2) Consideration by house of spin-off legislation.--Three 
     legislative days after the House Budget Committee has 
     reported spin-off legislation described in subsection (c) or 
     has been discharged under paragraph (1), it shall be in order 
     to move that the House proceed to consider the resolution. 
     Such motion shall be highly privileged and not debatable.
       (3) Debate in house.--General debate on any spin-off 
     legislation in the House of Representatives shall be limited 
     to not more than 5 hours, which shall be divided equally 
     between the majority and minority parties. A motion to 
     further limit debate shall not be in order. It shall not be 
     in order to consider any amendments which would cause the 
     total amount of direct spending under the spin-off 
     legislation to exceed the target set forth for the fiscal 
     year under section 4.
       (4) House consideration of conference report.--Debate in 
     the House of Representatives on the conference report on 
     spin-off legislation shall be limited to not more than 1 
     hour, which shall be divided equally between the majority and 
     minority parties. A motion to further limit debate is not 
     debatable. A motion to recommit the conference report is not 
     in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the 
     vote by which the conference report is agreed to or disagreed 
     to.

[[Page 1267]]

       (d) Procedure in the Senate.--
       (1) Automatic discharge of senate budget committee.--In the

     legislation described in subsection (b), the committee shall 
     be automatically discharged from further consideration of 
     such legislation.
       (2) Consideration by senate of spin-off legislation.--Three 
     days after the Senate Budget Committee has reported spin-off 
     legislation described in subsection (b) or has been 
     discharged under paragraph (1), it shall be in order to move 
     that the Senate proceed to consider the legislation. Such 
     motion shall be privileged and not debatable.
       (3) Debate in senate.--Debate in the Senate on any spin-off 
     legislation, and all amendments thereto and debatable motions 
     and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not 
     more than 25 hours. The time shall be equally divided 
     between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the 
     minority leader or their designees. It shall not be in order 
     to consider any amendments which would cause the total amount 
     of direct spending under the spin-off legislation to exceed 
     the target set forth for the fiscal year under section 4 or 
     includes provisions on a subject other than the levels of 
     budget year amount or direct spending allowed by budget 
     functional categories.
       (4) A motion to further limit debate is not debatable.--A 
     motion to recommit (except a motion to recommit with 
     instruction to report back within a specified number of days, 
     not to exceed 3, not counting any day on which the Senate is 
     not in session) is not in order. Debate on any such motion to 
     recommit shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided 
     between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
     legislation.
       (5) Motion to proceed to conference in senate.--A motion to 
     proceed to the consideration of the conference report on any 
     spin-off legislation may be made even though a previous 
     motion to the same effect has been disagreed to.
       (6) Senate consideration of conference report.--Debate in 
     the Senate on a conference report on spin-off legislation 
     shall be limited to not more than 5 hours, which shall be 
     divided equally between the majority leader and minority 
     leader or their designees. A motion to further limit debate 
     is not debatable. Debate on any debatable motion or appeal 
     related to the conference report (or a message between House) 
     shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, 
     and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
     conference report.
       (7) Request for new conference.--Should the conference 
     report be defeated, debate on any request for a new 
     conference and the appointment of conferees shall be limited 
     to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, 
     the manager of the conference report and the minority leader 
     or his designee, and should any motion be made to instruct 
     the conferees before the conferees are named, debate on such 
     motion shall be limited to one-half hour, to be equally 
     divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager 
     of the conference report. In all cases when the manager of 
     the conference report is in favor of any motion, appeal or 
     amendment, the time in opposition shall be under the control 
     of the minority leader or his designee.

     SEC. 8. TARGETED SEQUESTRATION.

       (a) Application.--This section shall apply for any budget 
     year only if a spin-off law as described in section 7 is in 
     effect for that year on the date of the final sequestration 
     report described in section 12.
       (b) Sequestration in Each Functional Category.--(1) The 
     purpose of this subsection is to ensure that total direct 
     spending for each functional category is no more than allowed 
     for the budget year.
       (2) The amount to be sequestered for the budget year from 
     direct spending programs in each functional category is the 
     amount by which direct spending during the budget year 
     results in a greater amount of direct spending than allowed 
     in that functional category in the spin-off law.
       (c) Sequestration.--Within 15 days after Congress adjourns 
     to end a session, there shall be a sequestration to reduce 
     the amount of direct spending in the current policy baseline 
     in any functional category by the amount specified in 
     subsection (b)(2). The amount required to be sequestered from 
     direct spending in a functional category shall be achieved by 
     reducing each non-exempt direct spending account (or activity 
     within an account) within that functional category by the 
     uniform percentage necessary to achieve that amount.

     SEC. 9. COMPREHENSIVE SEQUESTRATION.

       (a) Application.--This section shall apply for any budget 
     year unless a spin-off law as described in section 7 is in 
     effect for that year on the date of the final sequestration 
     report described in section 12.
       (b) Sequestration Based on Budget-Year Shortfall.--The 
     amount to be sequestered for the budget year is the amount 
     (if any) by which direct spending exceeds the cap for that 
     year under section 4.
       (c) Sequestration.--Within 15 days after Congress adjourns 
     to end a session, there shall be a sequestration to reduce 
     the amount of direct spending in the current policy baseline 
     by the amounts specified in subsection (b). The amount 
     required to be sequestered shall be achieved by reducing each 
     direct spending account (or activity within an account) by 
     the uniform percentage necessary to achieve that amount.

     SEC. 10. EXEMPT PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES.

       The following budget accounts, activities within accounts, 
     or income shall be exempt from sequestration--
       (1) net interest;

     SEC. 11. GENERAL AND SPECIAL SEQUESTRATION RULES.

       (a) Permanent Sequestration of Direct Spending.--
       (1) The purpose of any direct spending or receipts 
     sequestration under this Act is to ensure deficit reduction 
     in the budget year and all subsequent fiscal years, so that 
     the budget-year direct spending cap in section 4 is not 
     exceeded.
       (2) Obligations in sequestered direct spending accounts 
     shall be reduced in the fiscal year in which a sequestration 
     occurs and in all succeeding fiscal years. Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of this section, after the first direct 
     spending sequestration, any later sequestration shall reduce 
     direct spending by an amount in addition to, rather than in 
     lieu of, the reduction in direct spending in place under the 
     existing sequestration or sequestrations.
       (b) Uniform Percentages.--
       (1) In calculating the uniform percentage applicable to the 
     sequestration of all direct

[[Page 1268]]

     spending programs or activities under section 9, or the 
     uniform percentage applicable to the sequestration of 
     nonexempt direct spending programs or activities within a 
     functional category under section 8, the sequestrable base 
     for direct spending programs and activities is the total 
     budget-year level of outlays for those programs or activities 
     in the current policy baseline minus--
       (A) those budget-year outlays resulting from obligations 
     incurred in the current or prior fiscal years, and
       (B) those budget-year outlays resulting from exemptions 
     under section 10.
       (2) For any direct spending program in which--
       (A) outlays pay for entitlement benefits,
       (B) a budget-year sequestration takes effect after the 1st 
     day of the budget year, and
       (C) that delay reduces the amount of entitlement authority 
     that is subject to sequestration in the budget year,

     the uniform percentage otherwise applicable to the 
     sequestration of that program in the budget year shall be 
     increased as necessary to achieve the same budget-year outlay 
     reduction in that program as would have been achieved had 
     there been no delay.
       (3) If the uniform percentage otherwise applicable to the 
     budget-year sequestration of a program or activity is 
     increased under paragraph (2), then it shall revert to the 
     uniform percentage calculated under paragraph (1) when the 
     budget year is completed.
       (c) General Rules for Sequestration.--
       (1) Indefinite authority.--Except as otherwise provided, 
     sequestration in accounts for which obligations are 
     indefinite shall be taken in a manner to ensure that 
     obligations in the fiscal year of a sequestration and 
     succeeding fiscal years are reduced, from the level that 
     would actually have occurred, by the applicable sequestration 
     percentage or percentages.
       (2) Cancellation of budgetary resources.--Budgetary 
     resources sequestered from any account other than an 
     entitlement trust, special, or revolving fund account shall 
     revert to the Treasury and be permanently canceled or 
     repealed.
       (3) Indexed benefit payments.--If, under any entitlement 
     program--
       (A) benefit payments are made to persons or governments 
     more frequently than once a year, and
       (B) the amount of entitlement authority is periodically 
     adjusted under existing law to reflect changes in a price 
     index,

     then for the first fiscal year to which a sequestration order 
     applies, the benefit reductions in that program accomplished 
     by the order shall take effect starting with the payment made 
     at the beginning of January or 7 weeks after the order is 
     issued, whichever is later. For the purposes of this 
     subsection, Veterans Compensation shall be considered a 
     program that meets the conditions of the preceding sentence.
       (4) Programs, projects, or activities.--Except as otherwise 
     provided, the same percentage sequestration shall apply to 
     all programs, projects, and activities within a budget 
     account (with programs, projects, and activities as 
     delineated in the appropriation Act or accompanying report 
     for the relevant fiscal year covering that account, or for 
     accounts not included in appropriation Acts, as delineated in 
     the most recently submitted President's budget).
       (5) Implementing regulations.--Administrative regulations 
     or similar actions implementing the sequestration of a 
     program or activity shall be made within 120 days of the 
     effective date of the sequestration of that program or 
     activity.
       (6) Distribution formulas.--To the extent that distribution 
     or allocation formulas differ at different levels of 
     budgetary resources within an account, program, project, or 
     activity, a sequestration shall be interpreted as producing a 
     lower total appropriation, with that lower appropriation 
     being obligated as though it had been the pre-sequestration 
     appropriation and no sequestration had occurred.
       (7) Contingent fees.--In any account for which fees charged 
     to the public are legally determined by the level of 
     appropriations, fees shall be charged on the basis of the 
     presequestration level of appropriations.
       (d) Non-JOBS Portion of AFDC.--Any sequestration order 
     shall accomplish the full amount of any required reduction in 
     payments for the non-jobs portion of the aid to families with 
     dependant children program under the Social Security Act by 
     reducing the Federal reimbursement percentage (for the fiscal 
     year involved) by multiplying that reimbursement percentage, 
     on a State-by-State basis, by the uniform percentage 
     applicable to the sequestration of nonexempt direct spending 
     programs or activities.
       (e) JOBS Portion of AFDC.--
       (1) Full amount of sequestration required.--Any 
     sequestration order shall accomplish the full amount of any 
     required reduction of the job opportunities and basic skills 
     training program under section 402(a)(19), and part F of 
     title VI, of the Social Security Act, in the manner specified 
     in this subsection. Such an order may not reduce any Federal 
     matching rate pursuant to section 403(l) of the Social 
     Security Act.
       (2) New allotment formula.--
       (A) General rule.--Notwithstanding section 403(k) of the 
     Social Security Act, each State's percentage share of the 
     amount available after sequestration for direct spending 
     pursuant to section 403(l) of such Act shall be equal to that 
     percentage of the total amount paid to the States pursuant to 
     such section 403(l) for the prior fiscal year that is 
     represented by the amount paid to such State pursuant to such 
     section 403(l) for the prior fiscal year, except that a State 
     may not be allotted an amount under this subparagraph that 
     exceeds the amount that would have been allotted to such 
     State pursuant to such section 403(k) had the sequestration 
     not been in effect.
       (B) Reallotment of amounts remaining unallotted after 
     application of general rule.--Any amount made available after 
     sequestration for direct spending pursuant to section 403(l) 
     of the Social Security Act that remains unallotted as a 
     result of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall be 
     allotted among the States in proportion to the absolute 
     difference between the amount allotted, respectively, to each 
     State as a result of such subparagraph and the amount that 
     would have been allotted to such State pursuant to section 
     403(k) of such Act had the sequestration not been in effect, 
     except that a State may not be allotted an amount under this 
     subparagraph that results in a total allotment to the State 
     under this paragraph of more than the amount that would have 
     been allotted to such State pursuant to such section 403(k) 
     had the sequestration not been in effect.
       (f) Child Support Enforcement Program.--Any sequestration 
     order shall accomplish the full amount of any required 
     reduction in payments under sections 455 and 458 of the 
     Social Security Act by reducing the Federal matching rate for 
     State administrative costs under the program, as specified 
     (for the fiscal year involved) in section 455(a) of such Act, 
     to the extent necessary to reduce such expenditures by that 
     amount.
       (g) Commodity Credit Corporation.--
       (1) Effective date.--For the Commodity Credit Corporation, 
     the date on which a sequestration order takes effect in a 
     fiscal year shall vary for each crop of a commodity. In 
     general, the sequestration order shall take effect when 
     issued, but for each crop of a commodity for which 1-year 
     contracts are issued as an entitlement, the sequestration 
     order shall take effect with the start of the sign-up period 
     for that crop that begins after the sequestration order is 
     issued. Payments for each contract in such a crop shall be 
     reduced under the same terms and conditions.
       (2) Dairy program.--(A) As the sole means of achieving any 
     reduction in outlays under the milk price-support program, 
     the Secretary of Agriculture shall provide for a reduction to 
     be made in the price received by producers for all milk 
     produced in the United States and marketed by producers for 
     commercial use. That price reduction (measured in cents per 
     hundredweight of milk marketed) shall occur under 
     subparagraph (A) of section 201(d)(2) of the Agricultural Act 
     of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1446(d)(2)(A)), shall begin on the day any 
     sequestration order is issued, and shall not exceed the 
     aggregate amount of the reduction in outlays under the milk 
     price-support program, that otherwise would have been 
     achieved by reducing payments made for the purchase of milk 
     or the products of milk under this subsection during that 
     fiscal year.
       (3) Effect of delay.--For purposes of subsection (b)(1), 
     the sequestrable base for the Commodity Credit Corporation is 
     the budget-year level of gross outlays resulting from new 
     budget authority that is subject to reduction under 
     paragraphs (1) and (2), and subsection (b)(2) shall not 
     apply.
       (4) Certain authority not to be limited.--Nothing in this 
     Act shall restrict the Corporation in the discharge of its 
     authority and responsibility as a corporation to buy and sell 
     commodities in world trade, or limit or reduce in any way any 
     appropriation that provides the Corporation with funds to 
     cover its net realized losses.
       (h) Extended Unemployment Compensation.--(1) A State may 
     reduce each weekly benefit payment made under the Federal-
     State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 for any 
     week of unemployment occurring during any period with respect 
     to which payments are reduced under any sequestration order 
     by a percentage not to exceed the percentage by which the 
     Federal payment to the State under section 204 of such Act is 
     to be reduced for such week as a result of such order.
       (2) A reduction by a State in accordance with subparagraph 
     (A) shall not be considered as a failure to fulfill the 
     requirements of section 3304(a)(11) of the Internal Revenue 
     Code of 1986.
       (i) Federal Employees Health Benefits Fund.--For the 
     Federal Employees Health Benefits Fund, a sequestration order 
     shall take effect with the next open season. The 
     sequestration shall be accomplished by annual payments from 
     that Fund to the General Fund of the Treasury. Those annual 
     payments shall be financed solely by charging higher 
     premiums. For purposes of subsection (b)(1), the sequestrable 
     base for the Fund is the budget-year level of gross outlays 
     resulting from claims paid after the sequestration order 
     takes effect, and subsection (b)(2) shall not apply.
       (j) Federal Housing Finance Board.--Any sequestration of 
     the Federal Housing Finance Board shall be accomplished by 
     annual payments (by the end of each fiscal year) from that 
     Board to the general fund of the Treasury, in amounts equal 
     to the uniform sequestration percentage for that year times 
     the gross obligations of the Board in that year.
       (k) Federal Pay.--
       (1) In general.--Except as provided in section 10(b)(3), 
     new budget authority to pay Federal personnel from direct 
     spending accounts shall be reduced by the uniform percentage 
     calculated under section 8 or 9, as

[[Page 1269]]

     applicable, but no sequestration order may reduce or have the 
     effect of reducing the rate of pay to which any individual is 
     entitled under any statutory pay system (as increased by any 
     amount payable under section 5304 of title 5, United States 
     Code, or section 302 of the Federal Employees Pay 
     Comparability Act of 1990) or the rate of any element of 
     military pay to which any individual is entitled under title 
     37, United States Code, or any increase in rates of pay which 
     is scheduled to take effect under section 5303 of title 5, 
     United States Code, section 1009 of title 37, United States 
     Code, or any other provision of law.
       (2) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection:
       (A) The term ``statutory pay system'' shall have the 
     meaning given that term in section 5302(1) of title 5, United 
     States Code.
       (B) The term ``elements of military pay'' means--
       (i) the elements of compensation of members of the 
     uniformed services specified in section 1009 of title 37, 
     United States Code,
       (ii) allowances provided members of the uniformed services 
     under sections 403a and 405 of such title, and
       (iii) cadet pay and midshipman pay under section 203(c) of 
     such title.
       (C) The term ``uniformed services'' shall have the meaning 
     given that term in section 101(3) of title 37, United States 
     Code.
       (l) Guaranteed Student Loans.--(A) For all student loans 
     under part B of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 
     made on or after the date of a sequestration, the origination 
     fees shall be increased by a uniform percentage sufficient to 
     produce the dollar savings in student loan programs for the 
     fiscal year of the sequestration required by section 8 or 9, 
     and all subsequent origination fees shall be increased by the 
     same percentage, notwithstanding any other provision of law.
       (B) The origination fees to which paragraph (A) applies are 
     those specified in sections 428H(f)(1) and 438(c) of that 
     Act.
       (m) Insurance Programs.--Any sequestration in a Federal 
     program that sells insurance contracts to the public 
     (including the Federal Crop Insurance Fund, the National 
     Insurance Development Fund, the National Flood Insurance 
     Fund, insurance activities of the Overseas Private Insurance 
     Corporation, and Veterans' life insurance programs) shall be 
     accomplished by annual payments from the insurance fund or 
     account to the general fund of the Treasury. The amount of 
     each annual payment by each such fund or account shall be the 
     amount received by the fund or account by increasing premiums 
     on contracts entered into after the date a sequestration 
     order takes effect by the uniform sequestration percentage, 
     and premiums shall be increased accordingly.
       (n) Medicaid.--The November 15th estimate of medicaid 
     spending by States shall be the base estimate from which the 
     uniform percentage reduction under any sequestration, applied 
     across-the-board by State, shall be made. Succeeding Federal 
     payments to States shall reflect that reduction. The Health 
     Care Financing Administration shall reconcile actual medicaid 
     spending for each fiscal year with the base estimate as 
     reduced by the uniform percentage, and adjust each State's 
     grants as soon as practicable, but no later than 100 days 
     after the end of the fiscal year to which the base estimate 
     applied, to comply with the sequestration order.
       (o) Medicare.--
       (1) Timing of application of reductions.--
       (A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B), if 
     a reduction is made in payment amounts pursuant to a 
     sequestration order, the reduction shall be applied to 
     payment for services furnished after the effective date of 
     the order. For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case 
     of inpatient services furnished for an individual, the 
     services shall be considered to be furnished on the date of 
     the individual's discharge from the inpatient facility.
       (B) Payment on the basis of cost reporting periods.--In the 
     case in which payment for services of a provider of services 
     is made under title XVIII of the Social Security Act on a 
     basis relating to the reasonable cost incurred for the 
     services during a cost reporting period of the provider, if a 
     reduction is made in payment amounts pursuant to a 
     sequestration order, the reduction shall be applied to 
     payment for costs for such services incurred at any time 
     during each cost reporting period of the provider any part of 
     which occurs after the effective date of the order, but only 
     (for each such cost reporting period) in the same proportion 
     as the fraction of the cost reporting period that occurs 
     after the effective date of the order.
       (2) No increase in beneficiary charges in assignment-
     related cases.--If a reduction in payment amounts is made 
     pursuant to a sequestration order for services for which 
     payment under part B of title XVIII of the Social Security 
     Act is made on the basis of an assignment described in 
     section 1842(b)(3)(B)(ii), in accordance with section 
     1842(b)(6)(B), or under the procedure described in section 
     1870(f)(1) of such Act, the person furnishing the services 
     shall be considered to have accepted payment of the 
     reasonable charge for the services, less any reduction in 
     payment amount made pursuant to a sequestration order, as 
     payment in full.
       (3) No effect on computation of aapcc.--In computing the 
     adjusted average per capita cost for purposes of section 
     1876(a)(4) of the Social Security Act, the Secretary of 
     Health and Human Services shall not take into account any 
     reductions in payment amounts which have been or may be 
     effected under this part.
       (p) Postal Service Fund.--Any sequestration of the Postal 
     Service Fund shall be accomplished by annual payments from 
     that Fund to the General Fund of the Treasury, and the 
     Postmaster General of the United States shall have the duty 
     to make those payments during the fiscal year to which the 
     sequestration order applies and each succeeding fiscal year. 
     The amount of each annual payment shall be--
       (1) the uniform sequestration percentage, times
       (2) the estimated gross obligations of the Postal Service 
     Fund in that year other than those obligations financed with 
     an appropriation for revenue foregone for that year.

     Any such payment for a fiscal year shall be made as soon as 
     possible during the fiscal year, except that it may be made 
     in installments within that year if the payment schedule is 
     approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. Within 30 days 
     after the sequestration order is issued, the Postmaster 
     General shall submit to the Postal Rate Commission a plan for 
     financing the annual payment for that fiscal year and publish 
     that plan in the Federal Register. The plan may assume 
     efficiencies in the operation of the Postal Service, 
     reductions in capital expenditures, increases in the prices 
     of services, or any combination, but may not assume a lower 
     Fund surplus or higher Fund deficit and must follow the 
     requirements of existing law governing the Postal Service in 
     all other respects. Within 30 days of the receipt of that 
     plan, the Postal Rate Commission shall approve the plan or 
     modify it in the manner that modifications are allowed under 
     current law. If the Postal Rate Commission does not respond 
     to the plan within 30 days, the plan submitted by the 
     Postmaster General shall go into effect. Any plan may be 
     later revised by the submission of a new plan to the Postal 
     Rate Commission, which may approve or modify it.
       (q) Power Marketing Administrations and T.V.A.--Any 
     sequestration of the Department of Energy power marketing 
     administration funds or the Tennessee Valley Authority fund 
     shall be accomplished by annual payments from those funds to 
     the General Fund of the Treasury, and the administrators of 
     those funds shall have the duty to make those payments during 
     the fiscal year to which the sequestration order applies and 
     each succeeding fiscal year. The amount of each annual 
     payment by a fund shall be--
       (1) the direct spending uniform sequestration percentage, 
     times
       (2) the estimated gross obligations of the fund in that 
     year other than those obligations financed from discretionary 
     appropriations for that year.

     Any such payment for a fiscal year shall be made as soon as 
     possible during the fiscal year, except that it may be made 
     in installments within that year if the payment schedule is 
     approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. Annual payments by 
     a fund may be financed by reductions in costs required to 
     produce the presequester amount of power (but those 
     reductions shall not include reductions in the amount of 
     power supplied by the fund), by reductions in capital 
     expenditures, by increases in rates, or by any combination, 
     but may not be financed by a lower fund surplus or a higher 
     fund deficit and must follow the requirements of existing law 
     governing the fund in all other respects. The administrator 
     of a fund or the TVA Board is authorized to take the actions 
     specified above in order to make the annual payments to the 
     Treasury.
       (r) Veterans' Housing Loans.--(1) For all housing loans 
     guaranteed, insured, or made under chapter 37 of title 38, 
     United States Code, on or after the date of a sequestration, 
     the origination fees shall be increased by a uniform 
     percentage sufficient to produce the dollar savings in 
     veterans' housing programs for the fiscal year of the 
     sequestration required by section 8 or 9, and all subsequent 
     origination fees shall be increased by the same percentage, 
     notwithstanding any other provision of law.
       (2) The origination fees to which paragraph (1) applies are 
     those referred to in section 3729 of title 38, United States 
     Code.

       (e) Official Sequestration Preview Report.--The OMB 
     sequestration preview report shall be the official report for 
     purposes of this Act. That report shall be set forth, without

     resources and the resulting reductions in new budget 
     authority and outlays; and
       (g) Presidential Order.--(1) On the day that OMB issues a 
     final sequestration report, the President shall issue an

     technical assumptions as used in the msot recent report 
     submitted by CBO under section 202(f)(1) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974.

     SEC. 13. THE CURRENT POLICY BASELINE.

       (a) In General.--For any budget year, the baseline refers 
     to a projection of current-year levels of new budget 
     authority, outlays, revenues, and the surplus or deficit into 
     the budget year and the outyears based on laws enacted 
     through, and discretionary regulations promulgated as final 
     by, the applicable date.
       (b) Direct Spending.--For the current year, the budget 
     year, and each outyear, the baseline shall be calculated 
     using the following assumptions:
       (1) In general.--Laws providing or creating direct spending 
     are assumed to operate in the manner specified in those laws 
     for each such year, funding for entitlement authority is 
     assumed to be adequate to make all payments required by those 
     entitlements, and funding for deposit insurance is assumed to 
     be adequate to meet the costs of the Financial Institutions 
     Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 or successor 
     laws.
       (2) Exceptions.--Except as provided in paragraph (3):
       (A) No program with estimated current-year gross new budget 
     authority greater than $100 million is assumed to expire in 
     the budget year or outyears. In carrying out the preceding 
     sentence, expiring entitlement programs and programs financed 
     by indefinite budget authority are assumed to continue as in 
     effect just prior to their expiration, and other expiring 
     programs are assumed to continue with new budget authority 
     projected as equal to budget authority in the last year for 
     which budget authority is enacted.
       (B) The percentage increase for veterans' compensation for 
     a fiscal year is assumed to be the same as that required by 
     law for veterans' pensions unless otherwise provided by a law 
     enacted in that session.
       (3) Cutoff date.--Programs that expire on or before 
     December 31 and that have not been reauthorized by the date 
     of the final sequestration report are assumed to expire. If 
     an increase in veterans compensation has not been enacted by 
     the date of the final sequestration report, it is not 
     assumed.
       (c) Up-to-Date Concepts.--In deriving the baseline for any 
     budget year or outyear, current-year amounts shall be 
     calculated using the concepts and definitions that are 
     required for that budget year.

     SEC. 14. RELATIONSHIP TO PAY-AS-YOU-GO.

       Reductions in outlays resulting in legislation enacted 
     pursuant to section 6 shall not be taken into account for 
     purposes of section 252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Act of 1985, except to the extent necessary 
     to achieve a balance in the paygo scorecard under such 
     section 252(d).

     SEC. 15. 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 order that might be issued pursuant to section 12 
     violates the Constitution.
       (2) Any Member of Congress, or any other person adversely 
     affected by any action taken under this Act, may bring an

       (3) Any Member of Congress may bring an action, in the 
     United States District Court for the District of Columbia,

     the requirements of this Act.
       (4) A copy of any complaint in an action brought under 
     paragraph (1), (2), or (3) 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.
       (5) Any action brought under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) 
     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), (2), or (3) 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), (2), or (3) 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 filed 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), (2), or (3) 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

     expedite to the greatest possible extent the disposition of 
     any matter brought under subsection (a).
       (d) Noncompliance With Sequestration Procedures.--
       (1) If it is finally determined by a court of competent 
     jurisdiction that an order issued by the President under 
     section 12 for any fiscal year does not fully implement 
     without change all sequestrations required by the OMB report, 
     the President shall, within 20 days after such determination 
     is made, revise the order in accordance with such 
     determination.
       (2) If the order issued by the President under section 12 
     for any fiscal year does not fully implement without change 
     all sequestrations required by the OMB report which is the 
     basis for the order on the claim or defense that the 
     constitutional powers of the President prevent such 
     sequestration or reduction or permit the avoidance of such 
     sequestration or reduction, and such claim or defense is 
     finally determined by the Supreme Court of the United States 
     to be valid, then the entire order issued pursuant to section 
     12 for such fiscal year shall be null and void.
       (e) Timing of Relief.--No order of any court granting 
     declaratory or injunctive relief from the order of the 
     President issued under section 12, including relief 
     permitting or requiring the expenditure of funds sequestered 
     by such order, shall take effect during the pendency of the 
     action before such court, during the time appeal may be 
     taken, or, if appeal is taken, during the period before the 
     court to which such appeal is taken has entered its final 
     order disposing of such action.
       (f) Preservation of Other Rights.--The rights created by 
     this section are in addition to the rights of any person 
     under law, subject to subsection (e).

     economic data and economic and technical assumptions and 
     estimation of methodologies used by OMB or CBO in preparing 
     any report issued under section 12 shall not be subject to

  So the amendment in the nature of a substitute was not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. DURBIN, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. VISCLOSKY, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 484, 
reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the 
Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; PURPOSE.

       (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Budget 
     Control Act of 1994''.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to create a 
     mechanism to monitor total costs of direct spending programs, 
     and, in the event that actual or projected costs exceed 
     targeted levels, to require the President and Congress to 
     address adjustments in direct spending.

     SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF DIRECT SPENDING TARGETS.

       (a) In General.--The initial direct spending targets for 
     each of fiscal years 1994 through 1997 shall equal total 
     outlays for all direct spending except net interest and 
     deposit insurance as determined by the Director of the Office 
     of Management and Budget (hereinafter referred to in this Act 
     as the ``Director``) under subsection (b).
       (b) Initial Report by Director.--
       (1) Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Director shall submit a report to Congress 
     setting forth projected direct spending targets for each of 
     fiscal years 1994 through 1997.
       (2) The Director's projections shall be based on 
     legislation enacted as of 5 days before the report is 
     submitted under paragraph (1). To the extent feasible, the 
     Director shall use the same economic and technical 
     assumptions used in preparing the concurrent resolution on 
     the budget for fiscal year 1994 (H. Con. Res. 64, One Hundred 
     Third Congress).
       (c) Adjustments.--Direct spending targets shall be 
     subsequently adjusted by the Director under section 6.

     SEC. 3. ANNUAL REVIEW OF DIRECT SPENDING AND RECEIPTS BY 
                   PRESIDENT.

       As part of each budget submitted under section 1105(a) of 
     title 31, United States Code, the President shall provide an 
     annual review of direct spending and receipts, which shall 
     include (1) information supporting the adjustment of direct 
     spending targets pursuant to section 6, (2) information on 
     total outlays for programs covered by the direct spending 
     targets, including actual outlays for the prior fiscal year 
     and projected outlays for the current fiscal year and the 5 
     succeeding fiscal years, and (3) information on the major 
     categories of Federal receipts, including a comparison 
     between the levels of those receipts and the levels projected 
     as of the date of enactment of this Act.

     SEC. 4. SPECIAL DIRECT SPENDING MESSAGE BY PRESIDENT.

       (a) Trigger.--In the event that the information submitted 
     by the President under section 3 indicates --
       (1) that actual outlays for direct spending in the prior 
     fiscal year exceeded the applicable direct spending target, 
     or
       (2) that outlays for direct spending for the current or 
     budget year are projected to exceed the applicable direct 
     spending targets,
     the President shall include in his budget a special direct 
     spending message meeting the requirements of subsection (b).
       (b) Contents.--(1) The special direct spending message 
     shall include:
       (A) An explanation of any adjustments to the direct 
     spending targets pursuant to section 6.
       (B) An analysis of the variance in direct spending over the 
     adjusted direct spending targets.
       (C) The President's recommendations for addressing the 
     direct spending overages, if any, in the prior, current, or 
     budget year.
       (2) The President's recommendations may consist of any of 
     the following:
       (A) Proposed legislative changes to reduce outlays, 
     increase revenues, or both, in order to recoup or eliminate 
     the overage for the prior, current, and budget years in the 
     current year, the budget year, and the 4 outyears.
       (B) Proposed legislative changes to reduce outlays, 
     increase revenues, or both, in order to recoup or eliminate 
     part of the overage for the prior, current, and budget year 
     in the current year, the budget year, and the 4 outyears, 
     accompanied by a finding by the President that, because of 
     economic conditions or for other specified reasons, only some 
     of the overage should be recouped or eliminated by outlay 
     reductions or revenue increases, or both.
       (C) A proposal to make no legislative changes to recoup or 
     eliminate any overage, accompanied by a finding by the 
     President that, because of economic conditions or for other 
     specified reasons, no legislative changes are warranted.
       (3) Except as provided by paragraph (4), any proposed 
     legislative change under paragraph (2) to reduce outlays may 
     include reductions in direct spending or in the discretionary 
     spending limits under section 601 of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974.
       (4) The President's recommendations may not consist of any 
     proposed legislative

[[Page 1272]]

     changes to reduce benefits under the old-age, survivors, and 
     disability insurance program established under title II of 
     the Social Security Act.
       (c) Proposed Special Direct Spending Resolution.--
       (1) President's recommendations to be submitted as draft 
     resolution.--If the President recommends reductions 
     consistent with subsection (b)(2)(A) or (B), the special 
     direct spending message shall include the text of a special 
     direct spending resolution implementing the President's 
     recommendations through reconciliation directives instructing 
     the appropriate committees of the House of Representatives 
     and Senate to determine and recommend changes in laws within 
     their jurisdictions to reduce outlays or increase revenues by 
     specified amounts. If the President recommends no reductions 
     pursuant to (b)(2)(C), the special direct spending message 
     shall include the text of a special resolution concurring in 
     the President's recommendation of no legislative action.
       (2) Resolution to be introduced in house.--Within 10 days 
     after the President's special direct spending message is 
     submitted, the text required by paragraph (1) shall be 
     introduced as a concurrent resolution in the House of 
     Representatives by the chairman of the Committee on the 
     Budget of the House of Representatives without substantive 
     revision. If the chairman fails to do so, after the tenth day 
     the resolution may be introduced by any Member of the House 
     of Representatives. A concurrent resolution introduced under 
     this paragraph shall be referred to the Committee on the 
     Budget.

     SEC. 5. REQUIRED RESPONSE BY CONGRESS.

       (a) Requirement for Special Direct Spending Resolution.--
     Whenever the President submits a special direct spending 
     message under section 4, the Committee on the Budget of the 
     House of Representatives shall report, not later than April 
     15, the concurrent resolution on the budget and include in it 
     a separate title that meets the requirements of subsections 
     (b) and (c).
       (b) Contents of Separate Title.--The separate title of the 
     concurrent resolution on the budget shall contain 
     reconciliation directives to the appropriate committees of 
     the House of Representatives and Senate to determine and 
     recommend changes in laws within their jurisdictions to 
     reduce outlays or increase revenues by specified amounts 
     (which in total equal or exceed the reductions recommended by 
     the President, up to the amount of the overage). If this 
     separate title recommends that no legislative changes be made 
     to recoup or eliminate an overage, then a statement to that 
     effect shall be set forth in that title.
       (c) Requirement for Separate Vote to Increase Targets.--If 
     the separate title of a concurrent resolution on the budget 
     proposes to recoup or eliminate less than the entire overage 
     for the prior, current, and budget years, then the Committee 
     on the Budget of the House of Representatives shall report a 
     resolution directing the Committee on Government Operations 
     to report legislation increasing the direct spending targets 
     for each applicable year by the full amount of the overage 
     not recouped or eliminated. It shall not be in order in the 
     House of Representatives to consider that concurrent 
     resolution on the budget until the House of Representatives 
     has agreed to the resolution directing the increase in direct 
     spending targets.
       (d) Conference Reports Must Fully Address Overage.--It 
     shall not be in order in the House of Representatives to 
     consider a conference report on a concurrent resolution on 
     the budget unless that conference report fully addresses the 
     entirety of any overage contained in the applicable report of 
     the President under section 4 through reconciliation 
     directives requiring spending reductions, revenue increases, 
     or changes in the direct spending targets.
       (e) Procedure if House Budget Committee Fails to Report 
     Required Resolution.--
       (1) Automatic discharge of house budget committee.--If a 
     special direct spending resolution is required and the 
     Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives fails 
     to report a resolution meeting the requirements of 
     subsections (b) and (c) by April 15, then the committee shall 
     be automatically discharged from further consideration of the 
     concurrent resolution reflecting the President's 
     recommendations introduced pursuant to section 4(c)(2) and 
     the concurrent resolution shall be placed on the appropriate 
     calendar.
       (2) Consideration by house.--Ten days after the Committee 
     on the Budget of the House of Representatives has been 
     discharged under paragraph (1), any Member may move that the 
     House proceed to consider the resolution. Such motion shall 
     be highly privileged and not debatable.
       (f) Application of Congressional Budget Act.--To the extent 
     that they are relevant and not inconsistent with this Act, 
     the provisions of title III of the Congressional Budget Act 
     of 1974 shall apply in the House of Representatives and the 
     Senate to special direct spending resolutions, resolutions 
     increasing targets under subsection (c), and reconciliation 
     legislation reported pursuant to directives contained in 
     those resolutions.
       (g) Limitation on Changes to the Social Security Act.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall not be 
     in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to 
     consider any reconciliation bill reported pursuant to a 
     concurrent resolution on the budget agreed to under section 
     301 or 304 or reconciliation legislation reported pursuant to 
     directives contained in any special direct spending 
     resolution, or any amendment thereto or conference report 
     thereon, that contains recommendations to reduce benefits 
     under the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance 
     program established under title II of the Social Security 
     Act.

     SEC. 6. ADJUSTMENTS TO DIRECT SPENDING TARGETS.

       (a) Required Annual Adjustments.--Prior to the submission 
     of the President's budget for each of fiscal years 1994 
     through 1997, the Director shall adjust the direct spending 
     targets in accordance with this section. Any such adjustments 
     shall be reflected in the targets used in the President's 
     report under section 3 and message (if any) under section 4.
       (b) Adjustment for Increases in Beneficiaries.--(1) The 
     Director shall adjust the direct spending targets for 
     increases (if any) in actual or projected numbers of 
     beneficiaries under direct spending programs for which the 
     number of beneficiaries is a variable in determining costs.
       (2) The adjustment shall be made by--
       (A) computing, for each program under paragraph (1), the 
     percentage change between (i) the annual average number of 
     beneficiaries under that program (including actual numbers of 
     beneficiaries for the prior fiscal year and projections for 
     the budget and subsequent fiscal years) to be used in the 
     President's budget with which the adjustments will be 
     submitted, and (ii) the annual average number of 
     beneficiaries used in the adjustments made by the Director in 
     the previous year (or, in the case of adjustments made in 
     1994, the annual average number of beneficiaries used in the 
     Director's initial report under section 2(b));
       (B) applying the percentages computed under subparagraph 
     (A) to the projected levels of outlays for each program 
     consistent with the direct spending targets in effect 
     immediately prior to the adjustment; and
       (C) adding the results of the calculations required by 
     subparagraph (B) to the direct spending targets in effect 
     immediately prior to the adjustment.
       (3) No adjustment shall be made for any program for a 
     fiscal year in which the percentage increase computed under 
     paragraph (2)(A) is less than or equal to zero.
       (c) Adjustments for Revenue Legislation.--(1) The Director 
     shall adjust the targets as follows--
       (A) they shall be increased by the amount of any increase 
     in receipts; or
       (B) they shall be decreased by the amount of any decrease 
     in receipts,

     resulting from receipts legislation enacted after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, except legislation enacted under 
     section 5.
       (d) Adjustments to Reflect Congressional Decisions.--Upon

     outyear through 1997 by--
       (1) increasing the target for the current year and the 
     budget year by the amount stated for that year in that 
     reconciliation bill (but if a separate vote was required by 
     section 5(c), only if that vote has occurred); and
       (2) decreasing the target for the current, budget, and 
     outyears through 1997 by the amount of reductions in direct 
     spending enacted in that reconciliation bill.
       (e) Designated Emergencies.--The Director shall adjust the 
     targets to reflect the costs of legislation that is 
     designated as an emergency by Congress and the President

     SEC. 9. CONSIDERATION OF APPROPRIATION BILLS.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the House

     requirements of section 5.
       (b) Waiver.--The point of order established by subsection 
     (a) may only be waived for all general appropriation bills

     waiving that point of order.

     SEC. 10. MEANS-TESTED PROGRAMS.

       In making recommendations under sections 4 and 5, the 
     President and the Congress should seriously consider all

       ``(2) Resident membership.--Each public housing agency 
     shall have a board of directors or other similar governing 
     body, of which not less than one-quarter of the members shall 
     be residents of housing units administered or assisted by the 
     agency, except that in the case of any public housing agency

     resident members are able to participate fully in policy and 
     financial matters within the control of the board or body.
       ``(4) Full participation.--No public housing agency may 
     limit or restrict the capacity or offices in which a member 
     of such board or body may serve on such board or body solely 
     because of the member's status as a resident member.
       ``(5) Definition.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
     term `resident member' means a member of the board of 
     directors or other similar governing body of a public housing 
     agency who is a resident of a housing unit administered or 
     assisted by the agency.''.

     local housing market in which the assistance is to be used 
     has had a vacancy rate, among units whose rent does not 
     exceed the fair market rental for the area established under 
     section 8(e), of more than 3 percent for at least 6 
     consecutive months.
       (3) Alternative methods of replacement.--In authorizing a 
     demonstration under this section, the Secretary may authorize 
     a public housing agency to provide for replacement of public 
     housing units in the manners under paragraph (4) of this 
     subsection rather than in the manners specified under the 
     various clauses of section 18(b)(3)(A) (and not subject to 
     the requirements of subparagraph (B) of section 18(b)(3)) if 
     the agency enters into such agreements as the Secretary 
     considers necessary to ensure that the replacement units will 
     remain affordable to families eligible for residency in 
     public housing for the remaining useful life of the units, as 
     determined by the Secretary.
       (4) Certificate and new unit mix.--Each such dwelling unit 
     demolished, disposed of, or otherwise eliminated pursuant to 
     this subsection shall be replaced with an additional dwelling 
     unit through any combination of--
       (A) additional public housing dwelling units;
       (B) units acquired or otherwise provided for homeownership 
     (including cooperative and condominium interests) by public 
     housing residents under section 5(h), subtitle B or C of 
     title IV of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing 
     Act, or other programs for homeownership that have program 
     requirements substantially equivalent to the requirements 
     established under section 605 of the Housing and Community 
     Development Act of 1987;
       (C) affordable housing homeownership units assisted under 
     title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing 
     Act and sold to public housing residents;
       (D) rental units that are (i) assisted under title II of 
     the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act 
     (notwithstanding section 212(d)(2) of such Act), or (ii) 
     assisted under a State or local rental assistance program 
     that provides for rental assistance over a term of not less 
     than 5 years that is comparable in terms of eligibility and 
     contribution to rent to assistance under section 8; but this 
     subparagraph shall apply to a public housing agency only if 
     the agency demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary 
     that the local housing market in which the assistance is to 
     be used has had a vacancy rate, among units whose rent does 
     not exceed the fair market rental for area established under 
     section 8(e), of more than 3 percent for at least 6 
     consecutive months;
       (E) housing assisted by a tax credit under section 42 of 
     the Internal Revenue Code;
       (F) housing acquired from the Resolution Trust Corporation 
     or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation;
       (G) housing acquired under section 203 of the Housing and 
     Community Development Amendments of 1978; or
       (H) other manners approved by the Secretary.
       (d) Waiver of Other Statutory Requirements.--For any 
     demonstration authorized under this section, the Secretary 
     may also waive the applicability of any provision of law that 
     applies to the projects under the demonstration and that the 
     Secretary determines is not consistent with the purposes of a 
     demonstration, except that the Secretary may not waive any 
     provision of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real 
     Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, any provision of 
     the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any other provision of 
     law relating to equal opportunity, nondiscrimination, or the 
     environment.
       (e) Selection of Demonstrations.--

     proposed by the agency or corporation could have on the 
     public housing program if the variations were adopted for the 
     whole program.
       (f) Requirements.--The Secretary may authorize a 
     demonstration program under this section only if the 
     Secretary determines that the demonstration--
       (1) would not, over the term of the demonstration, result 
     in the Federal Government incurring greater costs than the 
     government would otherwise incur if the demonstration were 
     not authorized;
       (2) is consistent with the overall purposes of the public 
     housing program;
       (3) is evaluated by an independent party; and

     for the site on which, and neighborhood in which, public 
     housing is developed. The Secretary shall submit a report to 
     the Congress not later than 6 months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act describing the results of the study and 
     making a recommendation with respect to such exemption.

     SEC. 142. MERGER OF SECTION 8 RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.

       (a) In General.--Section 8 of the United States Housing Act 
     of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) is amended to read as follows:


          ``rental housing assistance for low-income families

       ``Sec. 8. (a) Authority and Purpose.--
       ``(1) In general.--For the purposes of aiding low-income 
     families in obtaining a decent place to live and promoting 
     economically mixed housing, the Secretary may provide 
     assistance payments with respect to existing housing in 
     accordance with the provisions of this section.
       ``(2) Elderly housing.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
     of this Act, assistance payments under this section may be 
     provided, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the 
     Secretary, with respect to some or all of the units in any 
     project approved pursuant to section 202 of the Housing Act 
     of 1959 (as in effect before October 1, 1991).
       ``(b) Annual Contributions Contracts for Rental 
     Assistance.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may enter into annual 
     contributions contracts under this subsection with public 
     housing agencies to provide rental housing assistance under 
     this section for low-income families. Such annual 
     contributions contracts shall bind the Secretary to make such 
     authority, and any amendments increasing such authority, 
     available to the public housing agency for a specified 
     period.
       ``(2) Secretary acting as pha.--In areas where no public 
     housing agency has been organized or where the Secretary 
     determines that a public housing agency is unable to 
     implement the provisions of this section, the Secretary may 
     enter into such contracts and perform the other functions 
     assigned to a public housing agency by this section.
       ``(3) Treatment of assistance for supportive housing for 
     the disabled.--The Secretary may not consider the receipt by 
     a public housing agency of assistance under section 811(b)(1) 
     of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, or 
     the amount received, in approving assistance under this 
     section for the agency or in determining the amount of such 
     assistance to be provided to the agency.
       ``(c) Assistance Contracts.--
       ``(1) In general.--Each public housing agency that receives 
     amounts under an annual contributions contract may enter into 
     assistance contracts to make rental assistance payments to 
     owners of existing dwelling units in accordance with the 
     provisions of this section.
       ``(2) PHA acting as owner.--A public housing agency may 
     contract to make rental assistance payments under this 
     section to itself (or any agency or instrumentality thereof) 
     as the owner of dwelling units, and the agency shall be 
     subject to the same program requirements as are applied to 
     other owners. In such cases, the Secretary may establish 
     initial rents within applicable limits.
       ``(3) Inapplicable provisions.--Sections 5(e) and 6 and any 
     other provisions of this Act that are inconsistent with the 
     provisions of this section shall not apply to assistance 
     contracts entered into pursuant to this section.
       ``(d) Maximum Monthly Rent.--
       ``(1) In general.--Each assistance contract entered into 
     pursuant to this section shall establish the maximum monthly 
     rent (including utilities and all maintenance and management 
     charges) that the owner is entitled to receive for each 
     dwelling unit for which rental assistance payments are to be 
     made under the contract. Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
     the maximum monthly rent shall not exceed by more than 10 
     percent the fair market rental under subsection (e) for the 
     market area in which the dwelling unit is located. If units 
     assisted under this section are exempt from local rent 
     control while they are so assisted or otherwise, the maximum 
     monthly rent for such units shall be reasonable in comparison 
     with other units in the market area that are exempt from 
     local rent control.
       ``(2) Exception.--The maximum monthly rent may exceed the 
     fair market rental--
       ``(A) by more than 10 but not more than 20 percent, but 
     only if the Secretary determines that special circumstances 
     warrant such higher maximum rent or that such higher rent is 
     necessary to the implementation of a comprehensive housing 
     affordability strategy under section 105 of the Cranston-
     Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act; or
       ``(B) by such higher amount, only if requested by the low-
     income family assisted and approved by the public housing 
     agency in accordance with subsection (f)(2).
       ``(3) Annual adjustments.--Each assistance contract shall 
     provide for adjustment in the maximum monthly rents for units 
     covered by the contract not less than annually to reflect 
     changes in the fair market rentals established under 
     subsection (e) for the housing area for similar types and 
     sizes of dwelling units or, if the Secretary determines, on 
     the basis of a reasonable formula.
       ``(4) Adjustments due to expenses.--Each assistance 
     contract shall further provide for the Secretary to make 
     additional adjustments in the maximum monthly rent for units 
     assisted under the contract to the extent the Secretary 
     determines such adjustments are necessary to reflect 
     increases in the actual and necessary expenses of owning and 
     maintaining the units that have resulted from substantial 
     general increases in real property taxes, utility rates, or 
     similar costs that are not adequately compensated for by the 
     adjustment in the maximum monthly rent authorized by 
     paragraph (3). The Secretary shall make additional 
     adjustments in the maximum monthly rent for units under 
     contract (subject to the availability of appropriations for 
     contract amendments) to the extent the Secretary determines 
     such adjustments are necessary to reflect increases in the 
     actual and necessary expenses of owning and maintaining the 
     units that have resulted from the expiration of a real 
     property tax exemption.
       ``(5) Adjustments due to criminal activity.--If the 
     Secretary determines that a project assisted under this 
     section is located in a community where criminal activity is 
     generally prevalent and the operating, maintenance, and 
     capital repair expenses for the project have been 
     substantially increased primarily as a result of the 
     prevalence of such activity, the Secretary may (at the 
     discretion of the Secretary and subject to the availability 
     of appropriations for contract amendments for this purpose), 
     on a project-by-project basis, provide adjustments to the 
     maximum monthly rents, to a level not exceeding 120 percent 
     of the project rents, to cover the costs of maintenance, 
     security, capital repairs, and reserves required for the 
     owner to carry out a strategy acceptable to the Secretary for 
     addressing the problem of criminal activity. The Secretary 
     may waive the applicability of any rent comparability 
     standard required under this subsection to implement this 
     paragraph.
       ``(6) Adjustments due to lead-based paint reduction for 
     housing receiving project-based assistance.--The Secretary 
     may (at the discretion of the Secretary and subject to the 
     availability of appropriations for contract amendments), on a 
     project-by-project basis for projects receiving project-based 
     assistance, provide adjustments to the maximum monthly rents 
     to cover the costs of evaluating and reducing lead-based 
     paint hazards, as defined in section 1004 of the Residential 
     Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992.
       ``(7) Limitations on adjustments.--
       ``(A) General comparability rule.--Adjustments in the 
     maximum rents under paragraphs (3) through (6) shall not 
     result in material differences between the rents charged for 
     assisted units and unassisted units of similar quality, type, 
     and age in the same market area, as determined by the 
     Secretary.
       ``(B) Comparability studies.--
       ``(i) To carry out subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall 
     issue regulations to provide for conducting comparability 
     studies for projects where the Secretary has reason to 
     believe that the application of the formula adjustments under 
     paragraph (3) would result in such material differences. The 
     Secretary shall conduct such studies upon the request of any 
     owner of any project, or as the Secretary determines to be 
     appropriate by establishing, to the extent practicable, a 
     modified annual adjustment factor for such market area, as 
     the Secretary shall designate, that is geographically smaller 
     than the applicable housing area used for the establishment 
     of the annual adjustment factor under paragraph (3). The 
     Secretary shall establish such modified annual adjustment 
     factor on the basis of the results of a study conducted by 
     the Secretary of the rents charged, and any change in such 
     rents over the previous year, for assisted units and 
     unassisted units of similar quality, type, and age in the 
     smaller market area. Where the Secretary determines that such 
     modified annual adjustment factor cannot be established or 
     that such factor when applied to a particular project would 
     result in material differences between the rents charged for 
     assisted units and unassisted units of similar quality, type, 
     and age in the same market area, the Secretary may apply an 
     alternative methodology for conducting comparability studies 
     in order to establish rents that are not materially different 
     from rents charged for comparable unassisted units.
       ``(ii) If the Secretary or appropriate State agency does 
     not complete and submit to the project owner a comparability 
     study not later than 60 days before the anniversary date of 
     the assistance contract under this section, the automatic 
     annual adjustment factor shall be applied. The Secretary may 
     not reduce the contract rents in effect on or after April 15, 
     1987, for newly constructed, substantially rehabilitated, or 
     moderately rehabilitated projects assisted under this section 
     (including projects assisted under this section as in effect 
     prior to November 30, 1983), unless the project has been 
     refinanced in a manner that reduces the periodic payments of 
     the owner. Any maximum monthly rent that has been reduced by 
     the Secretary after April 14, 1987, and prior to November 7, 
     1988, shall be restored to the maximum monthly rent in effect 
     on April 15, 1987.
       ``(iii) For any project which has had its maximum monthly 
     rents reduced after April 14, 1987, the Secretary shall make 
     assistance payments (from amounts reserved for the original 
     contract) to the owner of such project in an amount equal to 
     the difference between the maximum monthly rents in effect on 
     April 15, 1987, and the reduced maximum monthly rents, 
     multiplied by the number of months that the reduced maximum 
     monthly rents were in effect.
       ``(e) Fair Market Rentals.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall establish fair 
     market rentals under this subsection periodically, but not 
     less than annually, for existing rental dwelling units 
     suitable for occupancy by low-income families assisted under 
     this section. The Secretary shall establish the fair market 
     rental by

[[Page 1291]]

     housing market area for various sizes and types of dwelling 
     units. For a market area, the fair market rental for any size 
     and type of dwelling unit shall be a dollar amount not less 
     than the amount that results in the rents charged for 45 
     percent of the standard quality rental units of such size and 
     type in the market area being less than such dollar amount. 
     For purposes of determining the dollar amount under the 
     preceding sentence, the Secretary shall consider only rental 
     units occupied by recent movers and shall not consider public 
     housing units, units for which market rents cannot be 
     determined, and newly constructed units.
       ``(2) Effectiveness and adjustment.--The Secretary shall 
     publish proposed fair market rentals for each area in the 
     Federal Register with reasonable time for public comment, and 
     such fair market rentals shall become effective upon the date 
     of publication in final form in the Federal Register. Each 
     fair market rental in effect under this subsection shall be 
     adjusted to be effective on October 1 of each year to reflect 
     changes, based on the most recent available data trended so 
     the rentals will be current for the year to which they apply, 
     of rents for existing rental dwelling units, as the case may 
     be, of various sizes and types in the market area suitable 
     for occupancy by families assisted under this section.
       ``(3) Certain areas.--The Secretary shall establish 
     separate fair market rentals under this subsection for 
     Westchester County in the State of New York. The Secretary 
     shall also establish separate fair market rentals under this 
     paragraph for Monroe County in the Commonwealth of 
     Pennsylvania. In establishing fair market rentals for the 
     remaining portion of the market areas in which Monroe County 
     is located, the Secretary shall establish the fair market 
     rentals as if such portion included Monroe County.
       ``(4) Required review.--If at any time, for any public 
     housing agency, more than 50 percent of the families on 
     behalf of whom assistance is provided under this section by 
     the agency are paying as rent more than the amount specified 
     under section 3(a) (as authorized in subsection (f)(2)), the 
     agency shall review the fair market rentals established under 
     this subsection for the market areas in the jurisdiction of 
     the public housing agency.
       ``(f) Amount of Monthly Assistance Payment and Due Process 
     Rights.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
     amount of the monthly assistance payment under this section 
     with respect to any dwelling unit shall be the difference 
     between the maximum monthly rent that the contract provides 
     that the owner is to receive for the unit and the rent the 
     family is required to pay under section 3(a).
       ``(2) Increased family payment.--A family on behalf of whom 
     tenant-based assistance payments are made under this section 
     may pay as rent for a dwelling unit assisted under this 
     section more than the amount specified under section 3(a), 
     but only if--
       ``(A) the family notifies the public housing agency of its 
     interest in a unit renting for an amount that exceeds the 
     permissible maximum monthly rent established for the market 
     area under subsection (d);
       ``(B) such agency determines that the rent for the unit and 
     the rental payments of the family are reasonable, after 
     taking into account other family expenses (including child 
     care, unreimbursed medical expenses, transportation, and 
     other appropriate family expenses;
       ``(C) such amount does not exceed 40 percent of the 
     family's monthly adjusted income; and
       ``(D) the public housing agency has first exercised any 
     authority under paragraphs (1) and (2)(A) of subsection (d) 
     to increase the maximum monthly rent for the dwelling unit.
     The amount of the monthly assistance payment under this 
     section with respect to a dwelling unit for a family paying 
     rent as provided in this paragraph shall be the difference 
     between an amount based on the fair market rent and the rent 
     the family is required to pay under section 3(a).
       ``(3) Increases in assistance payments.--The Secretary 
     shall take any action necessary, including making contracts 
     for assistance payments in amounts exceeding the amounts 
     required upon the initial renting of dwelling units, 
     reserving annual contributions authority for the purpose of 
     amending assistance contracts, or allocating a portion of new 
     authorizations for the purpose of amending assistance 
     contracts, to ensure that assistance payments are increased 
     on a timely basis to cover increases in maximum monthly rents 
     or decreases in family incomes.
       ``(4) Reviews of family incomes.--
       ``(A) In general.--Reviews of family incomes for purposes 
     of this section shall be made annually and shall be subject 
     to the provisions of section 904(e) of the Stewart B. 
     McKinney Homeless Assistance Amendments Act of 1988. For 
     families for whom an increased rental payment has been 
     approved under paragraph (2), such review shall include 
     determining whether the rent for the unit and the rental 
     payments of the family continue to be reasonable, in 
     accordance with subparagraphs (B) and (C) of paragraph (2).
       ``(B) Procedures.--The Secretary shall establish procedures 
     that are appropriate and necessary to ensure that income data 
     provided to public housing agencies and owners by families 
     applying for or receiving assistance under this section is 
     complete and accurate.
       ``(C) Confidentiality.--Any income information received 
     pursuant to this paragraph shall remain confidential and 
     shall be used only for the purpose of verifying incomes in 
     order to determine eligibility of families for benefits (and 
     the amount of such benefits, if any) under this section.
       ``(5) Due process rights in cases of adverse action.--In 
     the case of any action proposed to be taken by a public 
     housing agency, any family receiving assistance under this 
     section adversely affected by such action shall have the 
     right to at least the basic elements of due process with 
     regard to such action, as follows:
       ``(A) Written notice of the intended adverse action and the 
     reason for such action shall be provided to the family not 
     less than 30 days before the action is to be taken, or, in a 
     case where the health or safety of other families is 
     threatened, a reasonable period of time considering the 
     seriousness of the situation (but not to exceed 30 days).
       ``(B) The family shall have the right to request a hearing 
     within 30 days after receipt of the notice.
       ``(C) The family shall have the right to a hearing before 
     an impartial hearing officer.
       ``(D) The family shall have the right to be represented at 
     the hearing by an attorney or other advocate.
       ``(E) The family shall have the right to examine the 
     evidence supporting the action and all evidence that the 
     public housing agency intends to use.
       ``(F) The family shall have the right to present 
     testimonial and documentary evidence and to cross-examine 
     adverse witnesses.
       ``(G) The hearing officer shall issue a written decision, 
     which shall be based solely upon the evidence introduced at 
     the hearing and which shall state the basis of the decision.
       ``(g) Eligibility of Units for Assistance.--
       ``(1) Occupancy status.--Each assistance contract shall 
     provide that assistance payments may be made only with 
     respect to the following dwelling units:
       ``(A) Occupied units.--A dwelling unit under lease for 
     occupancy by a family determined to be a low-income family at 
     the time it initially occupies the dwelling unit or by a 
     family that qualifies to receive assistance under this 
     section pursuant to section 223 or 226 of the Low-Income 
     Housing Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act of 1990.
       ``(B) Unoccupied units.--An unoccupied dwelling unit, but 
     only if--
       ``(i)(I) a family vacates the dwelling unit before the 
     expiration date of the lease for occupancy, or (II) a good 
     faith effort is being made to fill the unoccupied unit; and
       ``(ii) the costs of such vacancy are not charged to or paid 
     by the family vacating the dwelling unit.
     Payments for units referred to in this subparagraph may be 
     made only for a period not exceeding 60 days, except that 
     such payments may be made, in the case of a newly constructed 
     or substantially rehabilitated project, after the expiration 
     of such 60-day period in an amount equal to the debt service 
     attributable to such an unoccupied dwelling unit for a period 
     not to exceed one year, if a good faith effort is being made 
     to fill the unit and the unit provides decent, safe, and 
     sanitary housing. No such payment may be made after the 
     expiration of such 60-day period if the Secretary determines 
     that the dwelling unit is in a project which provides the 
     owner with revenues exceeding the costs incurred by such 
     owner with respect to such project.
       ``(2) Owner's status.--A public housing agency shall not 
     approve the rental of a dwelling unit if--
       ``(A) the owner--
       ``(i) is debarred, suspended, or subject to limited denial 
     of participation under part 24 of title 24, Code of Federal 
     Regulations; or
       ``(ii) has been convicted of drug trafficking;
       ``(B) the owner owns any other dwelling unit in the same 
     project, which is assisted under this section and at such 
     time, such unit is not in compliance in any material respect 
     with standards for housing quality for units so assisted, but 
     the public housing agency shall provide an owner of any such 
     dwelling unit a reasonable opportunity to correct the 
     noncompliance before denying approval; or
       ``(C) the owner owns or has owned dwelling units in the 
     same project, which are assisted under this section (or any 
     other program of the Federal Government for housing 
     assistance) and such units have repeatedly or regularly 
     failed to comply with the housing quality standards 
     applicable to such units.
       ``(h) Other Provisions of Assistance Contracts.--Contracts 
     to make assistance payments entered into by any public 
     housing agency (or by the Secretary) with an owner of 
     existing housing units shall meet the following requirements:
       ``(1) Contract term.--Each assistance contract shall have a 
     term of not less than one month nor more than 180 months. The 
     Secretary shall permit public housing agencies to enter into 
     assistance contracts having terms of less than 12 months to 
     the extent necessary to avoid disruption in assistance to 
     eligible families if the annual contributions contract for 
     the agency under subsection (b) will expire within 1 year.
       ``(2) Preferences.--Each assistance contract shall provide 
     that, in making assistance available pursuant to the 
     contract--
       ``(A) for not less than 70 percent of the families who 
     initially receive project-based assistance, and

[[Page 1292]]

       ``(B) for not less than 90 percent of the families who 
     initially receive tenant-based assistance in any 1-year 
     period,
     preference shall be given to families that (i) occupy 
     substandard housing (including families that are homeless or 
     living in a shelter for homeless families), (ii) are paying 
     more than 50 percent of family income for rent, or (iii) are 
     involuntarily displaced (including displacement because of 
     disposition of a multifamily housing project under section 
     203 of the Housing and Community Development Amendments of 
     1978) at the time they are seeking assistance under this 
     section.
       ``(3) Secondary preferences.--Each assistance contract 
     shall provide that, for any assistance remaining in any 1-
     year period after assistance is made available pursuant to 
     paragraph (2), preference for such assistance shall be given 
     to families who qualify under a system of local preferences 
     established by the public housing agency in writing and after 
     public hearing to respond to local housing needs and 
     priorities, which may include--
       ``(A) assisting very low-income families who either reside 
     in transitional housing assisted under title IV of the 
     Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act or participate in 
     a program designed to provide public assistance recipients 
     with greater access to employment and educational 
     opportunities;
       ``(B) assisting families in accordance with subsection 
     (q)(1)(B);
       ``(C) assisting families identified by local public 
     agencies involved in providing for the welfare of children as 
     having a lack of adequate housing that is a primary factor in 
     the imminent placement of a child in foster care, or in 
     preventing the discharge of a child from foster care and 
     reunification with his or her family;
       ``(D) assisting youth, upon discharge from foster care, in 
     cases in which return to the family or extended family or 
     adoption is not available;
       ``(E) assisting veterans who are eligible and have applied 
     for assistance, will use the assistance for a dwelling unit 
     designed for the handicapped, and, upon discharge or 
     eligibility for discharge from a hospital or nursing home, 
     have physical disability which, because of the configuration 
     of their homes, prevents them from access to or use of their 
     homes; and
       ``(F) achieving other objectives of national housing policy 
     as established by law.
     A public housing agency may not establish a preference for 
     assistance that provides preference based on residency in the 
     jurisdiction of the public housing agency.
       ``(4) Tenant selection.--Each assistance contract shall 
     provide that the selection of tenants for such dwelling units 
     shall be the function of the owner, subject to any provisions 
     of the annual contributions contract between the Secretary 
     and the agency. The owner shall use tenant selection 
     criteria, which shall provide as follows:
       ``(A) Prohibition of persons engaged in drug activity.--The 
     criteria shall prohibit any individual or family evicted from 
     housing assisted under this Act by reason of drug-related 
     criminal activity from having a preference under any 
     provision of this paragraph for 3 years unless the evicted 
     tenant successfully completes a rehabilitation program 
     approved by the agency or owner. The agency or the owner may 
     waive the application of the preceding sentence under 
     standards established by the Secretary, which shall provide 
     for such waiver for any member of a family of an individual 
     prohibited from tenancy under this subparagraph who the 
     agency or owner determines clearly did not participate in and 
     had no knowledge of such criminal activity or when 
     circumstances leading to eviction no longer exist.
       ``(B) Other requirements for project-based assistance.--
     With respect only to project-based assistance, the criteria 
     shall--
       ``(i) be consistent with the purpose of improving housing 
     opportunities for very low-income families;
       ``(ii) be reasonably related to program eligibility and an 
     applicant's ability to perform the obligations of the 
     assisted lease;
       ``(iii) be established in writing; and
       ``(iv) provide for the owner to promptly provide to any 
     rejected applicant (I) written notice of the grounds for the 
     rejection, and (II) an opportunity to meet with the decision 
     maker to evaluate the validity of the reasons for rejection 
     and rectify any erroneous decisions.
       ``(5) Lease provisions.--Each assistance contract shall 
     provide that the lease between the tenant of any unit and the 
     owner--
       ``(A) shall be for at least one year or the term of such 
     assistance contract, whichever is shorter;
       ``(B) shall contain other terms and conditions specified by 
     the Secretary, including provisions meeting the requirements 
     of paragraphs (6), (7), and (8); and
       ``(C) shall be in a standard form which is used in the 
     local housing market area by the owner and which applies 
     generally to tenants in the property who are not assisted 
     under this section, together with any addendum necessary to 
     include in the lease the provisions required under 
     subparagraph (B).
       ``(6) General grounds for termination of tenancy.--Each 
     assistance contract shall provide that the owner shall not 
     terminate the tenancy of the tenant of any unit except for 
     serious or repeated violation of the terms and conditions of 
     the lease, for violation of applicable Federal, State, or 
     local law, or for other good cause. The withholding of 
     assistance payments for a dwelling unit pursuant to paragraph 
     (10) shall not constitute good cause for termination of the 
     tenancy of the tenant of the unit.
       ``(7) Termination for activity.--Each assistance contract 
     shall provide that any activity that threatens the health, 
     safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by 
     other tenants, any activity that threatens the health, 
     safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of their residences by 
     persons residing in the immediate vicinity of the premises, 
     or any drug-related criminal activity on or near such 
     premises, engaged in by a tenant of any unit, any member of 
     the tenant's household, or any guest or other person under 
     the tenant's control, shall be cause for termination of 
     tenancy.
       ``(8) Notice of termination of tenancy.--Each assistance 
     contract shall provide that before terminating the tenancy of 
     any tenant, the owner shall provide written notice to the 
     tenant specifying the legal and factual grounds for such 
     action, which shall be provided in accordance with any 
     requirements under State or local law.
       ``(9) Maintenance and replacement.--Each assistance 
     contract shall provide that maintenance and replacement 
     (including redecoration) shall be performed in accordance 
     with the standard practice for the building concerned as 
     established by the owner and agreed to by the agency (or the 
     Secretary). With the approval of the Secretary, the public 
     housing agency administering a contract under this section 
     with respect to existing housing units may exercise all 
     management and maintenance responsibilities with respect to 
     the units pursuant to a contract between such agency and the 
     owner of such units.
       ``(10) Enforcement of housing quality standards.--
       ``(A) In general.--Each assistance contract shall provide 
     for action under this paragraph if a unit assisted under this 
     section fails to comply with the standards for housing 
     quality for units so assisted.
       ``(B) Notification.--If the agency (or the Secretary) 
     determines that a unit assisted under this section fails to 
     comply in any material respect with the standards for housing 
     quality for units so assisted, the agency (or the Secretary) 
     shall notify the tenant and owner of the unit of the 
     noncompliance and the possible actions under this paragraph.
       ``(C) Correction of noncompliance.--The agency may approve 
     the dwelling unit for assistance under this section, on the 
     condition that the noncompliance is corrected, if (i) the 
     agency determines that the noncompliance is minor and can be 
     corrected within 15 days, (ii) the agency provides notice of 
     the conditional approval to the owner, (ii) the owner 
     provides a written commitment to the agency to correct the 
     noncompliance within the time period required by the agency, 
     not to exceed 15 days, and (iii) the conditional approval 
     will expedite the occupancy of an eligible tenant with 
     assistance under this section. The agency shall reinspect any 
     unit for which conditional approval is made under this 
     subparagraph within the period referred to in clause (ii) of 
     the preceding sentence, and if the agency determines that the 
     noncompliance is not corrected, the agency may take action 
     under subparagraph (D).
       ``(D) Failure to correct serious noncompliance.--If any 
     serious noncompliance with such standards is not corrected 
     within a reasonable period of time after such notification, 
     the agency (or the Secretary) shall withhold some or all of 
     the assistance amounts under this section with respect to the 
     unit and promptly--
       ``(i) use such amounts to make necessary repairs or 
     contract to have such repairs made;
       ``(ii) release any withheld amounts to the owner after 
     repairs are made by the owner, in an amount not exceeding the 
     cost of the repairs;
       ``(iii) release any withheld amounts to the applicable 
     State or local housing agency after repairs are made by such 
     agency, in an amount not exceeding the cost of the repairs; 
     or
       ``(iv) upon the request of the tenant, release any withheld 
     amounts to--

       ``(I) the tenant to reimburse the tenant for the reasonable 
     cost of any necessary repairs performed or paid for by the 
     tenant; or
       ``(II) such person secured by the tenant and approved by 
     the agency (or the Secretary) to make such necessary repairs.

     If an agency (or the Secretary) withholds any assistance 
     amounts pursuant to this subparagraph, the agency (or the 
     Secretary) shall promptly notify the tenant of the unit for 
     which assistance is withheld of the withholding and may not 
     terminate the assistance contract unless and until the tenant 
     has relocated to decent, safe, and sanitary housing.
       ``(11) Standards and obligations of residency in housing 
     receiving project-based assistance.--Each assistance contract 
     for project-based assistance under subsection (i) shall 
     provide that the owner shall ensure and maintain compliance 
     with subtitle C of title VI of the Housing and Community 
     Development Act of 1992 and any regulations issued under such 
     subtitle.

     assistance provided under an assistance contract for tenant-
     based assistance under this paragraph, the Secretary may 
     increase the amount annually provided with respect to such 
     project to provide for the costs of employing or otherwise 
     retaining the services of one or more service coordinators 
     under section 671 of the Housing and Community Development 
     Act of 1992 to coordinate the provision of any services

     appropriate terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed to 
     by the agency and owner.

       ``(1) Authority.--Pursuant to an annual contributions 
     contract entered into under subsection (b), a public housing 
     agency may enter into a assistance contract providing for 
     assistance payments under this section that are attached to a 
     structure.
       ``(2) Requirements.--Any public housing agency may approve 
     project-based assistance under this subsection with respect 
     to any or all of the assistance provided by the public 
     housing agency if--
       ``(A) the owner agrees to rehabilitate the structure other 
     than with assistance under this Act and the owner otherwise 
     complies with the requirements of this section; and
       ``(B) in the case of any newly constructed structure, the 
     owner or prospective owner agrees to construct the structure 
     other than with assistance under this Act and otherwise

       ``(A) In general.--In the case of an assistance contract 
     for project-based assistance under this subsection, a public 
     housing agency shall enter into a contract with an owner, 
     contingent upon the future availability of appropriations for 
     the purpose of renewing expiring contracts for assistance 
     payments as provided in appropriations Acts, to extend the 
     term of the underlying assistance contract for such period or 
     periods as the Secretary determines to be appropriate to 
     achieve long-term affordability of the housing. The contract 
     shall obligate the owner to have the extensions of the 
     assistance contract accepted by the owner and the owner's 
     successors in interest.
       ``(B) Term of assistance for low-income housing 
     preservation.--The contract for assistance may, at the option 
     of the public housing agency, have an initial term not 
     exceeding 15 years for any assistance that is attached--
       ``(i) to projects assisted under a State program that 
     permits the owner of the projects to prepay a State assisted 
     or subsidized mortgage on the structure; and
       ``(ii) for the purpose of providing incentives to owners to 
     preserve such projects for occupancy by low- and moderate-
     income families (for the period that assistance under this 
     subparagraph is available) and assisting low-income tenants 
     to afford any increases in rent that may be required to 
     induce the owner to maintain occupancy in the project by low- 
     and moderate-income tenants.
     Any assistance provided to low-income tenants in the manner 
     described in this subparagraph shall not be considered for 
     purposes of the limitation under subsection (h)(2) regarding 
     the percentage of families that may receive assistance under

     rehabilitated pursuant to assistance provided under section 
     8(b)(2) of this Act (as such section existed before October 
     1, 1983), the Secretary may increase the amount annually 
     provided with respect to such project to provide for the 
     costs of employing or otherwise retaining the services of one 
     or more service coordinators under section 671 of the Housing 
     and Community Development Act of 1992 to coordinate the 
     provision of any services within the project for residents of

     shall review the notice and issue a written finding of the 
     legality of the termination and the reasons for the 
     termination. Within 30 days after issuance of the findings,

     the project in compliance with the requirements of subsection 
     (d) and subparagraph (C) of this subsection. The Secretary 
     shall issue a written finding of the legality of the

                   SECTION 8 PROJECTS.

       Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 
     U.S.C. 1437f), as amended by the preceding provisions of this 
     Act, is further amended by adding at the end the following

     constructed, substantially rehabilitated, or moderately 
     rehabilitated under this section, (2) is subject to an 
     assistance contract under this section, and (3) was subject 
     to a mortgage that has been refinanced under section 
     223(a)(7) or section 223(f) of the National Housing Act to 
     lower the periodic debt service payments of the owner, the 
     Secretary may pay the owner the amount of the up front costs 
     to the owner of refinancing. The Secretary may make such 
     payments only from savings in the amount of assistance 
     payments, as determined by the Secretary on a project-by-
     project basis and after application of amounts in accordance 
     with section 1012 of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless 
     Assistance Amendments Act of 1988, that result from the 
     refinancing during the first year after the refinancing.''.

     SEC. 144. DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM FOR USE OF EXCESS RESIDUAL 
                   RECEIPTS.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary of Housing and Urban 
     Development shall carry out a demonstration program, in 
     conjunction with State housing agencies, under which the 
     Secretary, at the request of owners of qualified projects, 
     makes amounts in the account for residual receipts or excess 
     amounts for the qualified projects available for use under 
     model programs to expand the supply of affordable housing.
       (b) Limitation.--The Secretary may not make any amounts 
     available for use under the demonstration program under this 
     section from the account of a qualified project for residual 
     receipts or excess amounts unless the amount remaining in the 
     account, together with replacement reserves for the project, 
     is sufficient (in the determination of the Secretary) to 
     maintain, manage, and preserve the project as affordable 
     housing.
       (c) Qualified Projects.--For purposes of this section, the 
     term ``qualified project'' means a housing project--
       (1) assisted with project-based assistance under section 8

     housing contract under section 23 of the United States 
     Housing Act of 1937 to tenant-based assistance under section 
     8 of such Act, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 
     shall, to the extent such amounts are made available in 
     appropriation Acts, enter into an obligation for the 
     conversion of the project to a project-based rental 
     assistance contract under section 8 of such Act, 
     notwithstanding the requirement for rehabilitation or the 
     percentage limitations under section 8(d)(2) of such Act (as 
     in effect before the date of the enactment of this Act) and 
     subparagraph (A) of section 8(i)(2) of such Act (as amended 
     by section 143 of this Act).

     activities undertaken by Pennrose Properties in connection 
     with 40 dwelling units for senior citizens in the Providence

     SEC. 146. STUDY OF EXTENT OF NONPARTICIPATION OF OWNERS AND 
                   LANDLORDS IN SECTION 8 RENTAL ASSISTANCE 
                   PROGRAM.

       The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall 
     conduct a study--
       (1) to determine the extent to which the requirements of 
     section 8(p)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (as 
     amended by this Act) and section 8(t) of such Act (as in 
     effect before the enactment of this Act) cause owners of 
     multifamily rental housing to abstain from entering into 
     contracts for housing assistance payments under such section; 
     and
       (2) to identify other factors causing owners of such 
     housing to abstain from entering into such contracts.
     In conducting the study, the Secretary shall consult a 
     significant number of owners in a wide range of areas. The 
     Secretary shall submit a report to the Congress describing 
     the results of the study not later than February 1, 1996.

     conduct a study of the existing standards for housing quality 
     for dwelling units assisted under the program for rental 
     assistance under section 8 of the United States Housing Act 
     of 1937. The study shall determine--
       (1) whether the standards are effective in ensuring decent, 
     safe, and sanitary housing;
       (2) how, and the extent to which, the standards are 
     enforced; and
       (3) how the standards or the enforcement of the standards 
     may be improved.
       The Secretary shall submit a report to the Congress not 
     later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act describing the results of the study and containing any 
     recommendations of the Secretary to carry out paragraph (3).
      Subtitle D--Renewal of Expiring Contracts for Section 8 New 
          Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation Projects

     SEC. 151. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) housing built or substantially rehabilitated pursuant 
     to section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 is an 
     important national resource that has provided decent, safe, 
     and affordable housing to hundreds of thousands of low-income 
     families who otherwise would not have obtained affordable 
     housing;
       (2) the Federal Government is the steward of this assisted 
     housing stock and has an affirmative obligation to preserve 
     it as housing for low-income families, consistent with 
     considerations of fairness to all interested parties, 
     including owners, residents, property managers, the community 
     in which the housing is located, and taxpayers;
       (3) because section 8(e)(1) of the United States Housing 
     Act of 1937 (as in effect prior to November 30, 1983) 
     provided, for the most part, that contracts to make 
     assistance payments to owners of newly constructed or 
     substantially rehabilitated housing financed with assistance 
     of a loan made by, or insured, guaranteed or intended for 
     purchase by the Federal Government, other than pursuant to 
     section 244 of the National Housing Act, could not exceed 20 
     years and because such housing was constructed or 
     substantially rehabilitated during the period from 1975 to 
     1985, a substantial number of contracts that provide for such 
     assistance will soon expire (with other housing constructed 
     or substantially rehabilitated pursuant to such section of 
     law supported through housing assistance contracts of longer 
     duration, which will expire at a later time);
       (4) failure to enter into new housing assistance contracts 
     under equitable and financially sound terms and conditions 
     will reduce the supply of decent, safe, and affordable 
     housing for low-income Americans, while the demonstrated need 
     for such housing remains great;
       (5) in order for the urban and rural population centers of 
     the United States to regain their viability, the housing 
     stock in such population centers must be preserved, which 
     includes preserving housing built or substantially 
     rehabilitated under section 8 of the United States Housing 
     Act of 1937;
       (6) assisted housing projects located in areas of relative 
     affluence can promote racial, social, and economic 
     integration, and such projects should be maintained as part 
     of the affordable housing inventory to the maximum extent 
     practicable;
       (7) the number of units of housing currently receiving 
     project-based section 8 assistance should not be reduced as a 
     result of the expiration of any current contracts; and
       (8) the number of households currently assisted by reason 
     of residence in housing

[[Page 1299]]

     projects receiving project-based section 8 assistance should 
     not be reduced as a result of the expiration of any current 
     contracts to provide project-based assistance, though some of 
     the specific families currently living in such housing may 
     either receive such assistance in another location or become 
     recipients of tenant-based assistance under appropriate 
     circumstances (with the preference, as a matter of public 
     policy, to the continued assistance of such households 
     through project-based assistance).
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this subtitle to provide 
     for the preservation of affordable housing constructed or 
     substantially rehabilitated pursuant to section 8 of the 
     United States Housing Act of 1937, and to provide affordable 
     housing opportunities for at least the same number of 
     families as are provided such housing by reason of their 
     residence in housing projects receiving project-based 
     assistance under such section, in a manner that is 
     administratively efficient, cost-effective, and fair to all 
     interested parties, including owners, residents, property 
     managers and the communities in which the housing is located.

     of a qualified project subject to an expiring contract for 
     which the date of expiration occurs less than 27 months after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, not later than 6

     contract for which the date of expiration occurs less than 27 
     months after the date of the enactment of this Act, not later 
     than 9 months after the date of enactment of this Act), the 
     owner of the qualified project shall simultaneously--
       (1) submit to the Secretary written notice stating whether 
     or not the owner intends to enter into a new contract 
     pursuant to this subtitle for project-based assistance for 
     the qualified project; and
       (2) submit a copy of the notice to the chief executive 
     officer of the State or unit of general local government for 
     the jurisdiction within which the project is located, any 
     mortgagee of the project, the tenants of the project 
     (including any resident council for the project), and such 
     other individuals or entities as the Secretary may require.
       (c) Submission of Proposal To Enter Into New Contract.--If 
     in the notice required by subsection (b) the owner indicates 
     an intention to enter into a new contract for assistance for 
     the qualified project, not later than 3 months after 
     submitting such notice to the Secretary, the owner shall 
     simultaneously--

     conditions for the new contract, which shall comply with the 
     requirements for new contracts under this subtitle; and
       (2) submit a copy of the notice to the chief executive 
     officer of the State or unit of general local government for 
     the jurisdiction within which the project is located, any 
     mortgagee of the project, the tenants of the project 
     (including any resident council for the project), and such 
     other individuals or entities as the Secretary may require.
       (d) Capital Needs Assessment.--
       (1) Requirement.--Within a reasonable period of time after 
     receiving a proposal under subsection (c) to enter into a new 
     contract for a qualified project, the Secretary shall conduct 
     a comprehensive assessment of the needs of the project to 
     determine the rehabilitation needs and replacement reserves 
     necessary to preserve the project during the ensuing 10-year 
     period.
       (2) Content.--The assessment shall obtain the same 
     information regarding the qualified project that is required 
     to be contained in a comprehensive needs assessment under 
     section 403 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 
     1992 for a covered multifamily housing property subject to 
     title IV of such Act, shall assess the management performance 
     for the project, and shall obtain any other information as 
     the Secretary considers appropriate for purposes of this 
     subtitle regarding the project, tenants, and market area in 
     which the project is located.
       (e) Tenant and Community Participation.--
       (1) Establishment of procedures.--The Secretary shall 
     establish procedures that provide an opportunity for tenants 
     of a qualified project (including any resident council) and 
     other affected parties to participate effectively in the 
     process established under this section and section 153 to 
     determine whether and under what terms and conditions a new 
     contract will be provided for the project or other assistance 
     will be made available.
       (2) Content of procedures.--The procedures established 
     under this subsection shall include providing timely and 
     adequate written notice of the proposed decisions of the 
     owner and the Secretary regarding the qualified project, 
     timely access to all relevant information (not including 
     information determined to be proprietary under standards 
     established by the Secretary), an adequate period to analyze 
     such information and submit comments to the Secretary (which 
     the Secretary shall take into consideration in carrying out 
     this subtitle), and, if requested, arranging meetings with 
     representatives of the Secretary and the owner.
       (3) Applicability.--The procedures established under this 
     subsection shall provide for the participation of tenants of 
     a qualified project and other affected parties in at least 
     the following actions:
       (A) Physical inspection of the qualified property under 
     section 155(b) and determination of capital needs of a 
     property pursuant to subsection (d).
       (B) Any determination under section 154 regarding the owner 
     of the project.
       (C) Review of notice and any proposal submitted by the 
     owner under subsections (b) and (c) of this section.
       (D) Determination of the response of the Secretary under 
     section 153.

     project under section 157(c)(1).
       (G) Establishing and carrying out of any plan to provide 
     assistance under subsection (d) or (e) of section 157.
       (4) Minimum period for tenant notification.--The Secretary 
     shall notify tenants of a qualified project of any agreement 
     to enter into a new contract for the project or of the 
     failure to enter into a new contract for the project, as the 
     case may be, not less than 12 months before the expiration of 
     expiring contract. If, in the case of a failure to enter into 
     a new contract for a qualified project, the Secretary fails 
     to comply with the requirement under the preceding sentence, 
     the Secretary shall (subject only to the availability of 
     budget authority) provide such additional assistance as may 
     be necessary to extend the contract for such 12-month period.

     SEC. 153. SECRETARY'S RESPONSE TO OWNER'S PROPOSAL.

       (a) Requirement.--Except in the case of an owner who 
     submits a notice under section 152(b) stating an intention 
     not to enter into a new contract and in the case of rejection 
     of an owner's proposal under subsection (c), not later than 
     90 days after an owner submits a proposal under section 
     152(c) for a qualified project (or not later than 30 days 
     after the expiration of the period under section 152(b), in 
     the case of an owner failing to provide notice under such 
     subsection), the Secretary shall take action under subsection 
     (b) to enter into a new contract.
       (b) Response to Owner's Proposal.--Subject only to the 
     availability of budget authority, the Secretary shall take 
     the following actions:
       (1) Status quo contracts.--In the case of a qualified 
     project for which the maximum monthly rents for units in the 
     project that are assisted under the expiring contract do not 
     (24 months before the date of the expiration of the contract) 
     exceed 110 percent of the fair market rentals for dwelling 
     units of the applicable sizes and types of dwelling units in 
     the relevant metropolitan market area and a qualified project 
     for which the owner agrees to reduce the maximum monthly 
     rents so that the rents do not exceed 110 percent of such 
     fair market rentals--
       (A) if the owner's proposal under section 152(c) provides 
     for establishing maximum monthly rents under the contract for 
     dwelling units in the project pursuant to the procedure under 
     section 156(a) and otherwise complies with the requirements 
     of this subtitle, the Secretary shall agree to the owner's 
     proposal and shall enter into a new contract for the project; 
     and
       (B) if the owner's proposal under section 152(c) does not 
     provide for establishing maximum monthly rents under the 
     contract for dwelling units in the project pursuant to the 
     procedure under section 156(a) or otherwise fails to comply 
     with the requirements of this title, or the owner has failed 
     to submit a proposal, the Secretary shall make an offer to 
     enter into a new contract for the project (by modifying the 
     owner's proposal under section 152(c), if the owner has 
     submitted a proposal) and, if the owner accepts, the 
     Secretary shall enter into such a new contract for the 
     project.
     The Secretary may not offer or agree to enter into a new 
     contract for a qualified project, or enter into such a 
     contract, that establishes maximum monthly rents under the 
     contract for dwelling units in the project pursuant to the 
     procedure under section 156(a) unless the maximum monthly 
     rents under the expiring contract for the project meet the 
     requirements of the matter in this paragraph preceding 
     subparagraph (A).
       (2) Budget-based contracts.--In the case of a qualified 
     project for which the maximum monthly rents for units in the 
     project that are assisted under the expiring contract (24 
     months before the date of the expiration of the contract) 
     exceed 110 percent of the fair market rentals for dwelling 
     units of the applicable sizes and types of dwelling units in 
     the relevant metropolitan market area--
       (A) if the owner's proposal under section 152(c) provides 
     for establishing maximum monthly rents under the contract for 
     dwelling units in the project pursuant to the procedure under 
     section 156(b) and otherwise complies with the requirements 
     of this subtitle, the Secretary shall agree to the owner's 
     proposal under section 152(c) and shall enter into a new 
     contract for the project; and
       (B) if the owner's proposal under section 152(c) does not 
     provide for establishing maximum monthly rents under the 
     contract for dwelling units in the project pursuant to the 
     procedure under section 156(b) or otherwise

[[Page 1300]]

     fails to comply with the requirements of this title, or the 
     owner has failed to submit a proposal, the Secretary shall 
     make an offer to enter into a new contract for the project 
     (by modifying the owner's proposal under section 152(c), if 
     the owner has submitted a proposal) and, if the owner 
     accepts, the Secretary shall enter into such a new contract 
     for the project.
       (3) Market rent contracts for high-cost areas.--
     Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), in the case of a 
     qualified project for which the Secretary determines that the 
     maximum monthly rents for units in the project offered (or to 
     be offered) by the Secretary under paragraph (1) or (2), as 
     applicable, are less than the monthly rents for comparable 
     units in comparable unassisted housing projects in the 
     relevant metropolitan market area, the Secretary may offer to 
     enter into a new contract for the qualified project that 
     provides for the establishment of the maximum monthly rents 
     at amounts not exceeding the monthly rents for such 
     comparable units. Each new contract entered into under this 
     paragraph shall provide that the maximum monthly rents for 
     the qualified project shall be adjusted annually by applying 
     the annual adjustment factor established by the Secretary 
     under section 156(a)(2) to the entire amount of the maximum 
     monthly rents.
       (4) Contracts for partially assisted projects.--
     Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), in the case of a 
     qualified project for which assistance is provided under an 
     expiring contract for some, but not all, of the dwelling 
     units in the project, the Secretary may offer to enter into a 
     new contract for the qualified project that provides for the 
     establishment of the maximum monthly rents for units in the 
     project assisted under the expiring contract at amounts not 
     exceeding the sum of (A) the monthly rents for comparable 
     unassisted units in the project, and (B) an allowance for 
     unique costs as determined under section 156(b)(1)(G). Each 
     new contract entered into under this paragraph shall provide 
     that the maximum monthly rents for the qualified project 
     shall be adjusted annually by applying the annual adjustment 
     factor established by the Secretary under section 156(a)(2) 
     to the entire amount of the maximum monthly rents.
       (5) Avoiding overconcentration of low-income housing.--
     Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), with respect to a 
     qualified project for which the Secretary is to provide a new 
     contract under either such paragraph, the Secretary may 
     reduce the number of dwelling units otherwise required to be 
     assisted under the new contract (pursuant to section 
     155(a)(3)) if--
       (A) the Secretary determines that the project is located in 
     a market area in which there is a high concentration of 
     dwelling units occupied by or affordable to very low-income 
     families;
       (B) the Secretary consults with the owner of the project, 
     the tenants of the project (including any resident council), 
     and representatives of the community in which the project is 
     located regarding such reduction and action under 
     subparagraph (D);
       (C) the owner and affected tenants consent to the reduction 
     and action under subparagraph (D);
       (D) the Secretary provides project-based assistance for a 
     number of dwelling units that is not less than the difference 
     between the number of units otherwise required to be assisted 
     under the new contract and the number actually assisted under 
     the new contract; and
       (E) the dwelling units assisted under subparagraph (D) are 
     located in market areas other than the area in which the 
     qualified project is located and such areas do not have a 
     high concentration of dwelling units occupied by or 
     affordable to very low-income families.
     The Secretary shall determine the maximum monthly rents for 
     dwelling units assisted under subparagraph (D) using the 
     procedures under paragraph (2) of this subsection and section 
     156. In determining the maximum monthly rents under the new 
     contract for any dwelling units in the qualified project, the 
     allowance under section 156(b)(1)(G) may be increased to 
     reflect higher costs per unit assisted attributable to 
     assisting less units.
       (c) Rejection of Owner's Proposal.--The Secretary may 
     reject a proposal submitted pursuant to section 152(c) only 
     for a reason contained in the regulations issued under 
     section 154.
       (d) Notice of Secretary's Action.--The Secretary shall 
     simultaneously--
       (1) submit written notice of any action under subsection 
     (b) or (c) to the owner of the qualified project for which 
     such action is taken; and
       (2) submit a copy of the notice to the chief executive 
     officer of the appropriate State or unit of general local 
     government for the jurisdiction within which the project is 
     located, any mortgagee of the project, the tenants of the 
     project (including any resident council for the project), and 
     such other individuals or entities as the Secretary may 
     require.
     Notice under this subsection shall be submitted not later 
     than the expiration of the period for the qualified project 
     referred to in subsection (a). If the Secretary does not 
     provide notice to the owner as required under this 
     subsection, the proposal of the owner shall be considered to 
     have been accepted without modification. Any notice rejecting 
     a proposal by the owner shall clearly state the reason for 
     rejecting the proposal.
       (e) Modifications to Owner's Proposal.--The Secretary may 
     propose modifications to an owner's proposal submitted 
     pursuant to section 152(c) only to the extent necessary to 
     make the proposal comply with the requirements under this 
     subtitle for acceptance by the Secretary.
       (f) Limitation on Secretary's Authority to Reject or 
     Modify.--The Secretary may not reject or propose 
     modifications to a proposal submitted pursuant to section 
     152(c) because an enforcement action is pending against the 
     owner. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, 
     in such event, the Secretary shall, subject only to the 
     availability of budget authority, extend the applicable 
     expiring contract for the period until the enforcement action 
     is concluded.

     SEC. 154. LIMITATION ON NEW CONTRACTS.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary may refuse to enter into a 
     new contract with the owner of a qualified project if the 
     Secretary determines that the owner of the project submitting 
     the proposal has committed--
       (1) violations of laws, regulations, regulatory agreements, 
     or other agreements for which the Secretary may impose 
     suspension, debarment, civil money penalties, and such other 
     major forms of enforcement action available to the Secretary 
     under law; or
       (2) other substantial and repeated violations of laws, 
     regulations, regulatory agreements or other agreements that 
     have not been cured within a reasonable period of time after 
     notice was provided to the owner.
       (b) Regulations.--Not later than 45 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall publish for 
     comment proposed regulations identifying the violations that, 
     under subsection (a), prohibit the Secretary from entering 
     into a new contract.

     SEC. 155. REQUIRED TERMS OF NEW CONTRACTS.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary may accept the proposal of 
     an owner (made under section 152(c) or negotiations pursuant 
     to such a proposal), and may propose modifications to such a

     the qualified project subject to the contract, subject only 
     to the availability of budget authority, the provisions of 
     this subtitle, and the provisions of the contract or law 
     regarding termination of the contract for cause; and
       (B) renewal of the contract under paragraph (5) shall not 
     alter or affect the terms of the contract.
       (2) Project-based assistance.--A new contract shall provide 
     that the Secretary shall provide project-based assistance 
     under this subtitle for dwelling units in the qualified 
     project subject to the contract based upon maximum monthly 
     rents (including utilities and all maintenance and management 
     charges) that the owner may receive for the dwelling units.
       (3) Low-income occupancy.--A new contract shall provide 
     that, during the term of the contract, the owner shall make 
     available for occupancy only by families that (at the time of 
     their initial occupancy) are low-income families or very low-
     income families (as the contract shall provide) the number of 
     dwelling units in the qualified project subject to the 
     contract for which assistance is provided under the expiring 
     contract.
       (4) Maintenance of housing.--The new contract shall--
       (A) require the owner of the qualified project to maintain 
     the housing in compliance with housing quality standards 
     established by the Secretary for housing assisted under 
     section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937;
       (B) provide that the provisions of section 8(h)(10) of such 
     Act shall apply to the qualified project, except that in the 
     case of a qualified project--
       (i) any reference in such section to a public housing 
     agency shall be construed to refer also to the Secretary; and
       (ii) any reference in such section to assistance under 
     section 8 shall be construed to refer to assistance under a 
     new contract; and
       (C) provide that upon a request by the owner, the Secretary 
     shall provide for a review of any determination of a serious 
     noncompliance of the project with such housing quality 
     standards, which review shall--
       (i) determine whether (I) a serious noncompliance has 
     occurred, (II) the owner was permitted a reasonable period of 
     time to correct the noncompliance, and (III) the owner has 
     the responsibility to correct the noncompliance;
       (ii) be conducted by an officer or employee of the 
     Department of Housing and Urban Development who is not the 
     officer or employee who made the initial determination of the 
     noncompliance and is not subject to the supervision of such 
     officer or employee; and
       (iii) include a written decision of the finding pursuant to 
     the review.
       (5) Contract term.--A new contract shall have a term of 60 
     months and shall be renewable for additional 60-month terms 
     without limitation.
       (6) Section 8 requirements.--A new contract shall provide 
     that the qualified project subject to the contract shall be

     under section 8(i) of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
       (7) Capital needs.--A new contract shall contain such terms 
     as the Secretary and the

[[Page 1301]]

     owner agree to regarding conducting rehabilitation and 
     replacement activities for the project and may provide 
     amounts to the owner for meeting immediate rehabilitation and 
     replacement needs of the qualified project if the Secretary 
     determines that providing such amounts would be more cost 
     effective to the Secretary than financing such activities 
     through increased project debt.
       (8) Maximum monthly rents.--A new contract shall provide 
     that the maximum monthly rents for the project under the 
     contract shall be the amount determined under section 156 
     (or, in the case of a new contract entered into under 
     paragraph (3) or (4) of section 153(b), the amount determined 
     under such paragraph) upon entering into the contract, and 
     shall be adjusted annually as provided under such section (or 
     paragraph (3) or (4) of section 153(b), if applicable), 
     except that--
       (A) the maximum monthly rents shall be redetermined in the 
     manner provided under sections 153(b) and 156 upon each 
     renewal of the contract;
       (B) the owner of the project may, at any time, submit a 
     written request to the Secretary for a redetermination of the 
     maximum monthly rents for the project using the procedure 
     under section 156(b) and, after such request, the rents shall 
     be determined using such method for the remainder of the term 
     of the contract; and
       (C) in the case of a project that is subject to a mortgage 
     insured by the Secretary and for which the maximum monthly 
     rents under the new contract are determined and adjusted 
     under section 156(a), if at any time the Secretary determines 
     that such rents are not sufficient to provide for the sound 
     operation of the project while maintaining payment of debt 
     service for the project, the Secretary may require 
     redetermination of the maximum monthly rents for the project 
     using the procedure under section 156(b) and, after such 
     request, the rents shall be determined using such method for 
     the remainder of the term of the contract and the provisions 
     of section 159(b) shall apply to the project.
       (9) Consideration of tenant concerns.--A new contract shall 
     provide that the owner of the qualified housing shall--
       (A) establish and, in good faith, carry out a procedure, 
     acceptable to the tenants (including any resident council) of 
     the project, for tenants to submit to the owner comments, 
     questions, and requests regarding any issues concerning the 
     project (including the condition, management, and ownership 
     of the project); and
       (B) make a good faith effort to respond to such comments, 
     questions, and requests within a reasonable period of time.
       (b) Property Inspections and Management Reviews Required by

     contract is entered into under this subtitle and shall 
     conduct a review of the management of each such qualified 
     project, not less than once every 3 years. The Secretary 
     shall also conduct such an inspection or review of a project 
     when requested by the unit of general local government for 
     the jurisdiction in which the project is located or by a 
     petition signed by not less than 10 percent of the tenants of 
     occupied units in the project.

     SEC. 156. MAXIMUM MONTHLY RENT UNDER NEW CONTRACTS.

       (a) Status Quo Rent Determination.--
       (1) Procedure.--If the maximum monthly rents under a new 
     contract for a qualified project are to be established under 
     this subsection, the rents shall be established at the amount 
     equal to the maximum monthly rents under the expiring 
     contract existing at the time 24 months before the date of 
     the expiration of the contract (or an amount mutually agreed 
     to by the Secretary and the owner that is less than such 
     amount).
       (2) Rent adjustments.--
       (A) In general.--The maximum monthly rents for any 
     qualified project for which the rents under a new contract 
     are to be determined under this subsection shall be adjusted 
     annually by applying the annual adjustment factor established 
     by the Secretary under subparagraph (B) to the entire amount 
     of the maximum monthly rents.
       (B) Annual adjustment factor.--The annual adjustment factor 
     shall--
       (i) measure the annual change for a market area in the 
     prevailing unsubsidized market rents for various sizes and 
     types of dwelling units and shall be based solely on such 
     measure;
       (ii) provide for decreases and increases in the maximum 
     monthly rents; and
       (iii) not provide for adjustment in the maximum monthly 
     rents based on any factor other than the factor described in 
     clause (i).
     The Secretary shall establish market areas for purposes of 
     establishing annual adjustment factors under this paragraph.
       (3) Service coordinators.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), 
     the maximum monthly rents established (and adjusted) under 
     this subsection for a qualified project shall be increased to 
     the extent necessary to provide for the total costs of a 
     service coordinator under section 161 for the project.
       (b) Budget-Based Rent Determination.--
       (1) Procedure.--If the maximum monthly rents under a new 
     contract for a qualified project are to be established under 
     this subsection, the rents shall be established at such a 
     level or levels that would provide income sufficient to cover 
     the sum of the following actual and projected costs of 
     operating the project:
       (A) Debt service.--The debt service on any federally-
     insured or assisted loans for the qualified project or any 
     other loans for the project approved by the Secretary at the 
     time the loans were entered into or subsequently, except that 
     the Secretary may provide that such debt service shall not 
     include--
       (i) any debt service attributable to any equity loan 
     insured under section 241(f) of the National Housing Act or 
     any similar loan made for the purposes of liquidating the 
     equity of the owner in the qualified project; and
       (ii) if the Secretary requires refinancing of debt under 
     section 159 and the owner does not refinance as provided in 
     such section, any debt service relating to such debt in 
     excess of the amount that the Secretary determines is 
     appropriate under prevailing market conditions at the time 
     such refinancing was required to occur.
       (B) Operating expenses.--The operating expenses for the 
     qualified project, including costs of measures to reduce or 
     control crime, and the total costs of a service coordinator 
     under section 161 for the project.
       (C) Reserves.--An amount for adequate reserves for the 
     qualified project, as determined pursuant to a comprehensive 
     needs assessment for the project prepared and approved in 
     accordance with title IV of the Housing and Community 
     Development Act of 1992 or in such other manner as the 
     Secretary may require.
       (D) Allowance for losses.--An allowance for potential 
     operating losses of the qualified project caused by vacancies 
     and failure to collect rents, which shall be an amount equal 
     to 5 percent of any rental income from the project (including 
     any amounts paid in rent for utilities).
       (E) Distribution to owner.--An allowance for a distribution 
     to the owner of the qualified project, which shall be an 
     amount for each dwelling unit in the project equal to the 
     higher of--
       (i) $350 per year; or
       (ii) 6 percent of the fair market rental for dwelling units 
     of the applicable size and type in the relevant metropolitan 
     market area.
       (F) Tenant organization.--An amount for technical 
     assistance to the resident council (if any) of the qualified 
     project or for technical assistance in organizing or 
     operating a resident council, which shall be an amount equal 
     to $20 per dwelling unit in the project per year. The 
     Secretary shall provide that such amounts shall not be made 
     available to the owner but shall be accessible only by 
     resident councils or by tenants for establishment or 
     operation of resident councils.
       (G) Allowance for unique costs.--An allowance for unique 
     costs specific to and characteristic of qualified housing or 
     other housing for low-income families receiving project-based 
     assistance from the Secretary, in the amount agreed to by the 
     Secretary and the owner.
       (H) Allowance for high-rent areas.--If the Secretary 
     determines that the prevailing rents in the market area in 
     which a qualified project is located exceed the fair market 
     rentals for dwelling units of the applicable sizes and types 
     of dwelling units in the relevant metropolitan market area--
       (i) an allowance may be provided (at the discretion of the 
     Secretary) in an amount necessary to provide maximum monthly 
     rents under this subsection in an amount equal to the 
     prevailing market rents in the area; and
       (ii) an allowance in the amount referred to in clause (i) 
     shall be provided if the Secretary determines that there is a 
     lack of sufficient housing in the market area in which the 
     project is located that is affordable to low-income families.
       (2) Rent adjustments.--
       (A) In general.--The maximum monthly rents for any 
     qualified project for which the rents under a new contract 
     are to be determined under this subsection shall be adjusted 
     annually by applying the operating cost adjustment factor 
     established by the Secretary under subparagraph (B) to the 
     entire amount of the maximum monthly rents.
       (B) Operating cost adjustment factor.--The operating cost 
     adjustment factor for any 12-month period shall be equal to--
       (i) the percent increase or decrease, if any, in the 
     Consumer Price Index published for the 6th month preceding 
     the beginning of such period over such index published for 
     the 18th month preceding such period, adjusted to the nearest 
     \1/10\ of 1 percent; or
       (ii) any other equivalent measure of change in operating 
     costs determined by the Secretary.
     For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ``Consumer Price 
     Index'' means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban 
     Consumers, United States City Average, Housing Component, 
     prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department 
     of Labor.
       (C) Excessive adjustments.--The Secretary may require the 
     owner of a qualified project for which a new contract has 
     been provided to submit a proposal in the manner provided 
     under paragraph (3) for redetermination of maximum monthly 
     rents for the project if--
       (i) not less than 2 rent adjustments have been made 
     pursuant to subparagraph (A) for the project;
       (ii) an intervening redetermination of maximum monthly 
     rents for the project pursuant to paragraph (1) has not 
     occurred; and
       (iii) the Secretary determines that the rents resulting 
     from the rent adjustments are materially in excess of the 
     rents necessary to support the costs for the project 
     described in paragraph (1).

[[Page 1302]]

     If pursuant to such a redetermination the Secretary 
     determines that the rents for the project are greater than 
     the amount described in clause (iii), the Secretary may 
     reduce the maximum monthly rents for the project to the 
     amount described in clause (iii), effective on the first day 
     of the month following written notification by the Secretary 
     to the owner of such new rents.
       (3) Timing.--If the Secretary requests an owner of a 
     qualified project or a project for which a new contract is to 
     be provided to submit a proposal for maximum monthly rents 
     based on costs described in paragraph (1) and the owner fails 
     to submit such a proposal during the 90-day period beginning 
     upon receipt of such request, the Secretary may establish the 
     maximum monthly rents for the project based on such 
     information as is available to the Secretary from the owner's 
     most recent audited financial statements, without the 
     agreement of the owner.
       (4) Additional information from owner.--The owner of a 
     qualified project (including a project for which a new 
     contract has been provided) may, at any time, submit to the 
     Secretary information regarding prevailing rent levels for 
     comparable dwelling units in the relevant metropolitan market 
     area and the Secretary shall consider such information in 
     making any determinations or agreements under this subsection 
     regarding the project.

     SEC. 157. ACTIONS IN CASES OF FAILURE TO ENTER INTO NEW 
                   CONTRACT.

       (a) Notice.--If--

     notice required under section 152(b), an intention not to 
     enter into a new contract,
       (2) the Secretary and the owner fail to agree to enter into 
     a new contract after a reasonable period of negotiation, or
       (3) the Secretary refuses to enter into a new contract with 
     the owner pursuant to section 154,
     the Secretary shall provide notice containing the information 
     under subsection (b) to the owner, the chief executive 
     officer of the State or unit of general local government for 
     the jurisdiction within which the project is located, any 
     mortgagee of the project, the tenants of the project 
     (including any resident council for the project), and such 
     other individuals or entities as the Secretary considers 
     appropriate.
       (b) Contents of Notice.--Notice under subsection (a) shall 
     identify the qualified project, state the intention of the 
     Secretary to enter into a new contract for the project with 
     an owner of the project acceptable to the Secretary, state 
     that the Secretary may take either of the actions authorized 
     under subsection (c) with respect to the project, and propose 
     maximum monthly rents for the project subject to the 
     requirements of sections 153(b) and 156.
       (c) Attempted Sale of Project.--After providing notice 
     under subsection (b) for a qualified project--
       (1) the Secretary shall negotiate with the owner and other 
     interested parties to develop a plan for sale of the project 
     in a timely manner to a new owner who agrees to enter into a 
     new contract with the Secretary and who may be a nonprofit or 
     for-profit entity, a State or local governmental entity, a 
     tenant (or group of tenants) or a resident council; a new 
     contract under this paragraph may be provided pursuant to the 
     loan management program under section 8(q)(2) of the United 
     States Housing Act of 1937 or a contract through a public 
     housing agency for project-based assistance under section 
     8(i) of such Act; and
       (2) notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Secretary may 
     acquire the qualified project by condemnation, under judicial 
     process, pursuant to the first section of the Act of August 
     1, 1888 (Chapter 728, 25 Stat. 357; 40 U.S.C. 257).
       (d) Failure to Sell Project.--
       (1) Transfer of project-based assistance to other 
     housing.--If, after providing notice under subsection (b) for 
     a qualified project and making reasonable efforts under 
     subsection (c)(1) the Secretary fails to enter into a new 
     contract for the project (and determines that action under 
     subsection (c)(2) is not appropriate), the Secretary shall, 
     subject only to the availability of budget authority and the 
     absence of qualified requests for such assistance, provide 
     project-based rental assistance for at least the same number 
     of dwelling units in housing located within the same market 
     area as the qualified project as were assisted under the 
     expiring contract for the project. Tenants of the qualified 
     project shall be offered initial occupancy in dwelling units 
     assisted pursuant to this paragraph.
       (2) Consultation.--In providing project-based assistance 
     under this subsection, the Secretary shall consult with 
     nonprofit and for-profit entities, State and local 
     governmental entities, and tenants and any resident council 
     of the project, regarding acquisition and operation of 
     housing to be assisted under this subsection.
       (e) Assistance for Project Tenants.--
       (1) Right to receive assistance.--If, in the notice 
     required by section 152(b), the owner indicates a preference 
     not to enter into a new contract or the Secretary fails to 
     enter into a new contract for the project, the Secretary 
     shall provide assistance under paragraphs (2) and (3), 
     subject only to the availability of budget authority, for 
     each family who on the date occurring 12 months before the 
     expiration of the expiring contract resides in a dwelling 
     unit in the project that is assisted under the expiring 
     contract.
       (2) Type of assistance.--Assistance required under this 
     paragraph shall be provided, as determined by the Secretary,

     refinancing or debt restructuring of any project, if--

     a State or local housing agency or the Government National 
     Mortgage Association and such refinancing or debt 
     restructuring is inconsistent with applicable law or 
     agreements governing such financing; and

     would be cost-effective; and

     restructuring the debt.

     statute or regulation affected. In no event may the Secretary 
     waive, or specify alternative requirements for, any provision 
     of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or statutory

    Subtitle D--Nonjudicial Foreclosure of Defaulted Single Family 
                               Mortgages

     SEC. 481. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Single Family Mortgage 
     Foreclosure Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 482. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) disparate State laws under which mortgages are 
     foreclosed on behalf of the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
     Development covering one- to four-family residential 
     properties burden certain programs administered by the 
     Secretary, increase the costs of collecting these 
     obligations, and cause detriment to the community generally;
       (2) long periods to complete the foreclosure of these 
     mortgages under certain State laws lead to deterioration in 
     the condition of the properties involved; necessitate 
     substantial Federal holding expenditures; increase the risk 
     of vandalism, fire loss, depreciation, damage, and waste with 
     respect to the properties; and adversely affect the 
     neighborhoods in which the properties are located;
       (3) these conditions seriously impair the Secretary's 
     ability to protect the Federal financial interest in the 
     affected properties and frustrate attainment of the 
     objectives of the underlying Federal program authority;
       (4) the availability of a uniform and more expeditious 
     procedure, with no right of redemption in the mortgagor or 
     others, for the foreclosure of these mortgages by the 
     Secretary will tend to ameliorate these conditions; and
       (5) providing the Secretary with a nonjudicial foreclosure 
     procedure will reduce unnecessary litigation by removing many 
     foreclosures from the courts where they contribute to 
     overcrowded calendars.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is to create a 
     uniform Federal foreclosure remedy for single family 
     mortgages that (1) are held by the Secretary of Housing and 
     Urban Development pursuant to title I or title II of the 
     National Housing Act or (2) secure loans obligated by the 
     Secretary under section 312 of the Housing Act of 1964.

     shall have a nonjudicial power of sale as provided in this 
     subtitle. Where the Secretary wishes to foreclose upon a 
     single family mortgage, the Secretary may designate a 
     foreclosure commissioner and, with or without cause, may 
     designate a substitute foreclosure commissioner to replace a 
     previously designated foreclosure commissioner, by executing 
     a duly acknowledged, written designation stating the name and 
     business or residential address of the commissioner or 
     substitute commissioner. The designation shall be effective 
     upon execution. The foreclosure commissioner, if a natural 
     person, shall be a resident of the State in which the 
     security property is located and, if not a natural person, 
     the foreclosure commissioner must be duly authorized to 
     transact business under the laws of the State in which the

     foreclosure commissioner may be designated. If a natural 
     person is designated as foreclosure commissioner or

     designated by name, except that where such person is 
     designated in his or her capacity as an official or employee

     by name.

     SEC. 486. PREREQUISITES TO FORECLOSURE.

       Foreclosure by the Secretary under this subtitle of a 
     single family mortgage may be commenced, as provided in 
     section 488, upon the breach of a covenant or condition in 
     the mortgage agreement for which foreclosure is authorized 
     under the mortgage, except that no such foreclosure may be 
     commenced unless any previously pending proceeding, judicial 
     or nonjudicial, separately instituted by the Secretary to 
     foreclose the mortgage other than under this subtitle has 
     been withdrawn, dismissed, or otherwise terminated. No such 
     separately instituted foreclosure proceeding on the mortgage 
     shall be instituted by the Secretary during the pendency of 
     foreclosure pursuant to this subtitle. Nothing in this 
     subtitle shall preclude the Secretary from enforcing any 
     right, other than foreclosure, under applicable Federal or 
     State law, including any right to obtain a monetary judgment. 
     Nothing in this subtitle shall preclude the Secretary from 
     foreclosing under this subtitle where the Secretary has 
     obtained or is seeking any other remedy available pursuant to 
     Federal or State law or under the mortgage agreement, 
     including, but not limited to, the appointment of a receiver,

     other default or defaults upon which foreclosure is based, 
     and the acceleration of the secured indebtedness.

       (a) Request.--If the Secretary as holder of a single family 
     mortgage determines that the prerequisites to foreclosure set 
     forth in section 486 are satisfied, the Secretary may request 
     the foreclosure commissioner to commence foreclosure of a 
     single family mortgage. Upon such request, the foreclosure 
     commissioner shall commence foreclosure of the mortgage, by 
     commencing service of a notice of default and foreclosure 
     sale in accordance with section 489.
       (b) Substitute Commissioner.--After commencement of a 
     foreclosure under this subtitle, the Secretary may designate 
     a substitute foreclosure commissioner at any time before the 
     time of foreclosure sale, and the foreclosure shall continue 
     without prejudice, unless the substitute commissioner, in his 
     or her sole discretion, finds that continuation of the 
     foreclosure sale will unfairly affect the interests of the 
     mortgagor. If the substitute commissioner makes such a 
     finding, the substitute commissioner shall cancel the 
     foreclosure sale, or adjourn such sale in the manner provided 
     in section 491(c). Upon designation of a substitute 
     foreclosure commissioner, a copy of the written notice of 
     such designation referred to in section 485 shall be served 
     (1) by mail, as provided in such section 489 (except that the 
     minimum time periods between mailing and the date of 
     foreclosure sale prescribed in such section shall not apply), 
     or (2) in any other manner which, in the substitute 
     commissioner's sole discretion, is conducive to achieving 
     timely notice of such substitution.

     this paragraph shall be mailed at least 45 days before the

     SEC. 490. PRESALE REINSTATEMENT.

       (a) In General.--Except as provided in sections 488(b) and 
     491(c), the foreclosure commissioner shall withdraw the 
     security property from foreclosure and cancel the foreclosure 
     sale only if--
       (1) the Secretary so directs the commissioner prior to or 
     at the time of sale;
       (2) the commissioner finds, upon application of the 
     mortgagor at least three days before the date of sale, that 
     the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based 
     did not exist at the time of service of the notice of default 
     and foreclosure sale; or
       (3)(A) in the case of a foreclosure involving a monetary 
     default, there is tendered to the foreclosure commissioner 
     before public auction is completed the entire amount of 
     principal and interest which would be due if payments under 
     the mortgage had not been accelerated;
       (B) in the case of a foreclosure involving a nonmonetary 
     default, the foreclosure commissioner, upon application of 
     the mortgagor

[[Page 1318]]

     before the date of foreclosure sale, finds that such default 
     is cured; and
       (C) there is tendered to the foreclosure commissioner 
     before public auction is completed all amounts due under the 
     mortgage agreement (excluding additional amounts which would 
     have been due if mortgage payments had been accelerated), all 
     amounts of expenditures secured by the mortgage, and all 
     costs of foreclosure incurred for which payment from the 
     proceeds of foreclosure is provided in section 492, except 
     that the Secretary shall have discretion to refuse to cancel 
     a foreclosure pursuant to this paragraph if the current 
     mortgagor or owner of record has on one or more previous 
     occasions caused a foreclosure of the mortgage, commenced 
     pursuant to this subtitle or otherwise, to be canceled by 
     curing a default.
       (b) Opportunity to Secretary.--Before withdrawing the 
     security property from foreclosure in the circumstances 
     described in subsection (a)(2) or (a)(3), the foreclosure 
     commissioner shall afford the Secretary a reasonable 
     opportunity to demonstrate why the security property should 
     not be so withdrawn.
       (c) Effect on Mortgage.--In any case in which a foreclosure 
     commenced under this subtitle is canceled, the mortgage shall 
     continue in effect as though acceleration had not occurred.
       (d) Effect on Subsequent Foreclosure.--If the foreclosure 
     commissioner cancels a foreclosure sale under this subtitle a 
     new foreclosure may be subsequently commenced as provided in 
     this subtitle.
       (e) Notice of Cancellation.--The foreclosure commissioner 
     shall file a notice of cancellation in the same place and 
     manner provided for filing the notice of foreclosure sale in 
     section 489.

     SEC. 491. CONDUCT OF SALE AND ADJOURNMENT.

       (a) Time and Location.--Foreclosure sale pursuant to this 
     subtitle shall be at public auction, and shall be scheduled 
     to begin between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. local time. 
     The foreclosure sale shall be held at a location specified in 
     the notice of default and foreclosure sale, which shall be a 
     location where foreclosure real estate auctions are 
     customarily held in the county or one of the counties in 
     which the property to be sold is located, or at a courthouse 
     therein, or at or on the property to be sold. Sale of 
     security property situated in two or more counties may be 
     held in any one of the counties in which any part of the 
     security property is situated. The foreclosure commissioner 
     may designate the order in which multiple tracts of security 
     are sold.
       (b) Sale Procedures.--The foreclosure commissioner shall 
     conduct the foreclosure sale in accordance with the 
     provisions of this subtitle and in a manner fair to both the 
     mortgagor and the Secretary. Written one-price sealed bids 
     shall be accepted by the foreclosure commissioner from the 
     Secretary and other persons for entry by announcement by the 
     commissioner at the sale. The Secretary and any other person 
     may bid at the foreclosure sale, including the Secretary or 
     any other person who has submitted a written one-price bid. 
     The foreclosure commissioner or any relative, related 
     business entity, or employee of such commissioner or entity 
     shall not be permitted to bid in any manner on the security 
     property subject to foreclosure sale, except that the 
     foreclosure commissioner or an auctioneer may be directed by 
     the Secretary to enter a bid on the Secretary's behalf. The 
     foreclosure commissioner may serve as auctioneer, or, in 
     accordance with regulations of the Secretary, may employ an 
     auctioneer to be paid from the commission provided for in 
     section 492(5).
       (c) Adjournment or Cancellation.--The foreclosure 
     commissioner shall have discretion, prior to or at the time 
     of sale to adjourn or cancel the foreclosure sale if the 
     commissioner determines, in the commissioner's discretion, 
     that circumstances are not conducive to a sale which is fair 
     to the mortgagor and the Secretary or that additional time is 
     necessary to determine whether the security property should 
     be withdrawn from foreclosure as provided in section 490. The 
     foreclosure commissioner may adjourn a sale to a later hour 
     the same day by announcing or posting the new time and place 
     of the foreclosure sale, or may adjourn the foreclosure sale 
     for not less than 9 nor more than 31 days, in which case the 
     commissioner shall serve a notice of default and foreclosure 
     sale revised to recite that the foreclosure sale has been 
     adjourned to a specified date and to include any corrections 
     the foreclosure commissioner deems appropriate. Such notice 
     shall be served by publication and mailing in accordance with 
     section 489, except that publication may be made on any of 3 
     separate days before the revised date of foreclosure sale, 
     and mailing may be made at any time at least 7 days before 
     the date to which the foreclosure sale has been adjourned.
       (d) Deposit.--The foreclosure commissioner may require a 
     bidder to make a cash deposit in an amount or percentage set 
     by him and stated in the notice of foreclosure sale before 
     the bid is accepted. A successful bidder at the foreclosure 
     sale who fails to comply with the terms of the sale may be 
     required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of 
     the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the 
     Secretary, shall be liable to the agency for any costs 
     incurred by the agency as a result of such failure.
       (e) Presumption.--Any foreclosure sale held in accordance 
     with this subtitle shall be conclusively presumed to have 
     been conducted in a legal, fair, and reasonable manner. The 
     sale price shall be conclusively presumed to be reasonable 
     and equal to the fair market value of the property.

     SEC. 492. FORECLOSURE COSTS.

       The following foreclosure costs shall be paid from the sale 
     proceeds before satisfaction of any other claim to such sale 
     proceeds:
       (1) Necessary advertising costs and postage incurred in 
     giving notice pursuant to sections 489 and 491.
       (2) Mileage for posting notices and for the foreclosure 
     commissioner's or auctioneer's attendance at the sale as 
     provided in section 1921 of title 28, United States Code, for 
     mileage by the most reasonable road distance.
       (3) Reasonable and necessary costs actually incurred in 
     connection with any necessary search of title and lien 
     records.
       (4) Necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the 
     foreclosure commissioner to record documents.
       (5) A commission for the foreclosure commissioner other 
     than an employee of the United States for the conduct of the 
     foreclosure to the extent authorized by the Secretary.

     SEC. 493. DISPOSITION OF SALE PROCEEDS.

       Money realized from a foreclosure sale shall be made 
     available for obligation and expenditure--
       (1) first, to cover the costs of foreclosure provided for 
     in section 492;
       (2) then, to pay valid tax liens or assessments if required 
     by the notice of foreclosure sale;
       (3) then, to pay any liens recorded before the recording of 
     the mortgage which are required to be paid in conformity with 
     the terms of sale in the notice of foreclosure sale;
       (4) then, to service charges and advances for taxes, 
     assessments, and property insurance premiums;
       (5) then, to the interest;
       (6) then, to the principal balance secured by the mortgage 
     (including expenditures for the necessary protection, 
     preservation, and repair of the security property as 
     authorized under the mortgage agreement and interest thereon 
     if provided for in the mortgage agreement); and
       (7) then, to late charges.
     Any surplus after payment of the foregoing shall be paid to 
     holders of liens recorded after the mortgage in the order of 
     priority under Federal law or the law of the State where the 
     security property is located and then to the appropriate 
     mortgagor. If the person to whom such surplus is to be paid 
     cannot be located, or if the surplus available is 
     insufficient to pay all claimants and the claimants cannot 
     agree on the allocation of the surplus, or if any person 
     claiming an interest in the mortgage proceeds does not agree 
     that some or all of the sale proceeds should be paid to a 
     claimant as provided in this section, that part of the sale 
     proceeds in question may be deposited by the foreclosure 
     commissioner with an appropriate official or court authorized 
     under law to receive disputed funds in such circumstances. If 
     such a procedure for the deposit of disputed funds is not 
     available, and the foreclosure commissioner files a bill of 
     interpleader or is sued as a stakeholder to determine 
     entitlement to such funds, the foreclosure commissioner's 
     necessary costs in taking or defending such action shall be 
     deductible from the disputed funds.

     SEC. 494. TRANSFER OF TITLE AND POSSESSION.

       (a) Delivery of Deed.--The foreclosure commissioner shall 
     deliver a deed or deeds to the purchaser or purchasers 
     without warranty or covenants to the purchaser or purchasers 
     and obtain the balance of the purchase price in accordance 
     with the terms of sale provided in the notice of default and 
     foreclosure sale. Notwithstanding State law to the contrary, 
     the commissioner's deed shall be a conveyance of property, 
     and no judicial proceeding shall be required ancillary or 
     supplementary to the procedures provided in this subtitle to 
     assure the validity of the conveyance or confirmation of such 
     conveyance.
       (b) Possession.--A purchaser at a foreclosure sale held 
     pursuant to this subtitle shall be entitled to possession 
     upon passage of title to the mortgaged property, subject to 
     an interest or interests not barred under section 496. Any 
     person remaining in possession after the passage of title 
     shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance subject to eviction 
     under local law.
       (c) Death of Purchaser.--If a purchaser dies before 
     execution and delivery of the deed conveying the property to 
     the purchaser, the foreclosure commissioner shall execute and 
     deliver the deed to the representative of the purchaser's 
     estate upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with 
     the terms of sale. Such delivery to the representative of the 
     purchaser's estate shall have the same effect as if 
     accomplished during the lifetime of the purchaser.
       (d) Bona Fide Purchaser.--The purchaser of property under 
     this subtitle shall be presumed to be a bona fide purchaser 
     without notice of defects, if any, in the title conveyed to 
     said purchaser if the purchaser would have been considered a 
     bona fide purchaser without notice had the sale been made 
     voluntarily and in person by the debtor.
       (e) Nullification of Right of Redemption.--There shall be 
     no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon 
     right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to 
     a foreclosure pursuant to this subtitle. Section 204(l) of 
     the National Housing Act and section 701 of the Department of

[[Page 1319]]

     Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 shall not 
     apply to mortgages foreclosed under this subtitle.
       (f) Tax.--When conveyance is made to the Secretary, no tax 
     of any State, county, municipality, or local taxing authority 
     shall be imposed or collected with respect to the foreclosure 
     commissioner's deed, whether as a tax upon the instrument or 
     upon the privilege of conveying or transferring title to the 
     property. Failure to collect or pay a tax of the type and 
     under the circumstances stated in the preceding sentence 
     shall not be grounds for refusing to record such a deed, for 
     failing to recognize such recordation as imparting notice, or 
     for denying the enforcement of such a deed and its provisions 
     in any State or Federal court.

     SEC. 495. RECORD OF FORECLOSURE AND SALE.

       (a) Record.--To establish a sufficient record of 
     foreclosure and sale, the foreclosure commissioner shall 
     include in the recitals of the deed to the purchaser or 
     prepare an affidavit or addendum to the deed stating--
       (1) the date, time and place of sale;
       (2) that the mortgage was held by the Secretary, the date 
     of the mortgage, the office in which the mortgage was 
     recorded, and the liber and folio or other description of the 
     recordation of the mortgage;
       (3) the particulars of the foreclosure commissioner's 
     service of notice of default and foreclosure sale in 
     accordance with sections 489 and 491;
       (4) the date and place of filing the notice of foreclosure 
     sale;
       (5) that the foreclosure was conducted in accordance with 
     the provisions of this subtitle and with the terms of the 
     notice of default and foreclosure sale; and
       (6) the sale amount.
       (b) Effect of Statements.--The statements set forth in 
     subsection (a) shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of 
     such recitals and statement of facts in any Federal or State 
     court; and shall be a conclusive presumption in favor of bona 
     fide purchasers and encumbrancers for value without notice. 
     Encumbrancers for value include liens placed by lenders who 
     provide the purchaser with purchase money in exchange for a 
     security interest in the newly-conveyed property.
       (c) Recordation.--The deed executed by the foreclosure 
     commissioner, the foreclosure commissioner's affidavit and 
     any other instruments submitted for recordation in relation 
     to the foreclosure of the security property under this 
     subtitle shall be accepted for recordation by the registrar 
     of deeds or other appropriate official of the county or 
     counties in which the security property is located upon 
     tendering of payment of the usual recording fees for such 
     instruments without regard to the compliance of those 
     instruments with local filing requirements.

     SEC. 496. EFFECT OF SALE.

       A sale, made and conducted as prescribed in this subtitle 
     to a bona fide purchaser, shall be an entire bar of all 
     claims upon, or with respect to, the property sold, of each 
     of the following persons:
       (1) Any person to whom the notice of foreclosure sale was 
     mailed as provided in this subtitle, and the heir, devisee, 
     executor, administrator, successor or assignee claiming under 
     any such person.
       (2) Any person claiming any interest in the property 
     subordinate to that of the mortgage, if such person had 
     actual knowledge of the sale.
       (3) Each person, claiming any interest in the property, 
     whose assignment, mortgage, or other conveyance was not duly 
     recorded or filed in the proper place for recording or 
     filing, or whose judgment or decree was not duly docketed or 
     filed in the proper place for docketing or filing, prior to 
     the date on which the notice of sale was first served by 
     publication, as required by section 489(2); and the executor, 
     administrator, or assignee of such a person.
       (4) Every other person claiming under a statutory lien or 
     encumbrance created subsequent to the recording or filing of 
     the mortgage being foreclosed, attaching to the title or 
     interest of any person designated in any of the foregoing 
     subsections of this section.

     SEC. 497. COMPUTATION OF TIME.

       Periods of time provided for in this subtitle shall be 
     calculated in consecutive calendar days including the day or 
     days on which the actions or events occur or are to occur for 
     which the period of time is provided and including the day on 
     which an event occurs or is to occur from which the period is 
     to be calculated.

     SEC. 498. SEPARABILITY.

       If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of this 
     subtitle shall, for any reason, be adjudged by a court of 
     competent jurisdiction to be invalid or invalid as applied to 
     a class of cases, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or 
     invalidate the remainder thereof and of this subtitle, but 
     shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, 
     paragraph, or part thereof directly involved in the 
     controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.

     SEC. 499. DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT.

       (a) In General.--If after deducting the disbursements 
     provided for in section 493 of this subtitle, the price at 
     which the security property is sold at a foreclosure sale is 
     less than the unpaid balance of the debt secured by the 
     security property, resulting in a deficiency, the Secretary 
     may refer the matter to the Attorney General who may commence 
     an action or actions against any or all debtors to recover 
     the deficiency, unless specifically prohibited by the 
     mortgage. The United States is also entitled to recover any 
     amount authorized by section 3011 of title 28, United States 
     Code, and costs of the action.
       (b) Limitation.--Any action commenced to recover the 
     deficiency must be brought within 6 years of the last sale of

     this requirement if the recipient demonstrates to the

     housing assisted with grant amounts provided under this 
     subtitle is decent, safe, and sanitary and, when appropriate,

     individual on the board of directors or

     and decision regarding any project, facility, services, or 
     other activities assisted with grant amounts under this 
     subtitle. A recipient may grant waivers to project sponsors 
     unable to meet the requirement under the preceding sentence

     homeless individuals and families within the jurisdiction; 
     and
       ``(ii) comprehensive homeless assistance is not necessary, 
     due to the nature and extent of homelessness in the

     selecting State recipients and making awards under

     include a commitment to enter into legally binding agreements

     Urban Development.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall 
     consider a reuse plan submitted under subsection (d) for 
     purposes of disposal of property at the military installation 
     for which the reuse plan is developed unless the Secretary of 
     Housing and Urban Development, within 60 days of receipt of 
     the reuse plan, determines under paragraph (2) that the reuse 
     plan does not make available a reasonable amount of property 
     or assistance to the homeless in the community involved.
       ``(2) The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall 
     determine that a reuse plan makes available a reasonable 
     amount of property and assistance to the homeless within the 
     community involved if--
       ``(A) the reuse plan includes a commitment to enter into 
     legally binding agreements to provide assistance to the 
     homeless within the community;
       ``(B) the reuse plan balances the need for providing 
     property and assistance to the homeless with the overall 
     reuse plan for the military installation;
       ``(C) the reuse plan was developed in consultation with 
     local representatives of the homeless, including 
     representatives of the applicable homeless assistance 
     planning board established under section 411(b) and 
     representatives of local nongovernmental homeless providers;
       ``(D) the reuse plan is consistent with the comprehensive 
     housing affordability strategy under section 105 of the 
     Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act; and
       ``(E) the reuse plan specifies the manner in which property 
     or assistance will be made available for homeless assistance.
       ``(3) In making a determination under paragraph (2) with 
     respect to a reuse plan, the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
     Development shall--
       ``(A) consider the population of homeless in the community 
     involved, the extent of current services to assist the 
     homeless within the community, the extent of the commitment 
     of resources by local governments in the community to assist 
     the homeless within the community, the need for additional 
     services to assist the homeless within the community, and the 
     suitability of the property for serving the needs of the 
     homeless; and
       ``(B) solicit and consider comments on the reuse plans from 
     homeless persons or their representatives in the community.
       ``(f) Effect of Failure To Meet the Needs of the 
     Homeless.--If the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 
     determines under subsection (e) that a reuse plan does not 
     make available a reasonable amount of property or assistance 
     to the homeless in the community involved, the Secretary 
     shall submit to the redevelopment authority submitting the 
     reuse plan and to the Secretary of Defense a report 
     containing the reasons for the determination. The Secretary 
     of Housing and Urban Development shall submit the report 
     within 30 days of making the determination.
       ``(2) A redevelopment authority shall have an additional 6 
     months from the date of receipt of a report under paragraph 
     (1) to resubmit to the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
     Development and the Secretary of Defense a final reuse plan 
     which will reasonably address the needs of the homeless, as 
     identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 
     under paragraph (1).
       ``(3) If the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 
     determines that a final reuse plan submitted under paragraph 
     (2) fails to reasonably address the needs of the homeless, 
     the Secretary shall, within 30 days of making such 
     determination, identify those buildings and other property 
     covered by the reuse plan that are suitable and available for 
     use to assist the homeless. The Secretary shall make such 
     identification according to section 501(a). Buildings and 
     property identified as suitable and available for use to 
     assist the homeless under this paragraph shall be made 
     available for such purposes under section 501.
       ``(g) Effect of Absence of Redevelopment Authority or 
     Exclusion From Reuse Plan.--In the case of buildings or 
     property to be disposed under a base closure law, but for 
     which no reuse authority is identified by the Secretary of 
     Defense or which are not included in a final reuse plan 
     submitted by a reuse authority, the Secretary of Housing and 
     Urban Development shall determine the suitability of such 
     buildings or property for use to assist the homeless 
     according to section 501(a). Buildings and property 
     identified as suitable and available for use to assist the 
     homeless under this paragraph shall be made available for 
     such purposes under section 501.
       ``(h) Application of Section.--(1) Except as provided in 
     paragraph (2), this section shall apply only with respect to 
     property, at a military installation to be closed or 
     realigned under a base closure law, that has not been

Para. 82.7  telemarketing fraud prevention

     (H.R. 868) to strengthen the authority of the Federal Trade 
     Commission to protect consumers in connection with sales made 
     with a telephone, and for other purposes, with the Senate 
     amendment thereto, shall be considered to have been taken 
     from the Speaker's table, and the same are hereby agreed to 
     with an amendment as follows:
       In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the 
     Senate, insert the following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Telemarketing and Consumer 
     Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Telemarketing differs from other sales activities in 
     that it can be carried out by sellers across State lines 
     without direct contact with the consumer. Telemarketers also 
     can be very mobile, easily moving from State to State.
       (2) Interstate telemarketing fraud has become a problem of 
     such magnitude that the resources of the Federal Trade 
     Commission are not sufficient to ensure adequate consumer 
     protection from such fraud.
       (3) Consumers and others are estimated to lose $40 billion 
     a year in telemarketing fraud.
       (4) Consumers are victimized by other forms of 
     telemarketing deception and abuse.
       (5) Consequently, Congress should enact legislation that 
     will offer consumers necessary protection from telemarketing 
     deception and abuse.

     SEC. 3. TELEMARKETING RULES.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) The Commission shall prescribe rules prohibiting 
     deceptive telemarketing acts or practices and other abusive 
     telemarketing acts or practices.
       (2) The Commission shall include in such rules respecting 
     deceptive telemarketing acts or practices a definition of 
     deceptive telemarketing acts or practices which may include 
     acts or practices of entities or individuals that assist or 
     facilitate deceptive telemarketing, including credit card 
     laundering.
       (3) The Commission shall include in such rules respecting 
     other abusive telemarketing acts or practices--
       (A) a requirement that telemarketers may not undertake a 
     pattern of unsolicited telephone calls which the reasonable 
     consumer would consider coercive or abusive of such 
     consumer's right to privacy,
       (B) restrictions on the hours of the day and night when 
     unsolicited telephone calls can be made to consumers, and
       (C) a requirement that any person engaged in telemarketing 
     for the sale of goods or services shall promptly and clearly 
     disclose to the person receiving the call that the purpose of 
     the call is to sell goods or services and make such other 
     disclosures as the Commission deems appropriate, including 
     the nature and price of the goods and services.

     In prescribing the rules described in this paragraph, the 
     Commission shall also consider recordkeeping requirements.
       (b) Rulemaking.--The Commission shall prescribe the rules 
     under subsection (a) within 365 days after the date of

     accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code.
       (c) Enforcement.--Any violation of any rule prescribed 
     under subsection (a) shall be treated as a violation of a

     that provided by rules promulgated by the Federal Trade 
     Commission under subsection (a); or
       (ii) such a rule promulgated by the Securities and Exchange 
     Commission is not necessary or appropriate in the public 
     interest, or for the protection of investors, or would be

     markets.

     If the Securities and Exchange Commission determines that an

       (2) Promulgation.--Section 6 of the Commodity Exchange Act 
     (7 U.S.C. 8, 9, 15, 13b, 9a) is amended by adding at the end 
     the following new subsection:
       ``(f)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), not later

     If the Commission determines that an exception described in

     SEC. 4. ACTIONS BY STATES.

       (a) In General.--Whenever an attorney general of any State 
     has reason to believe that the interests of the residents of 
     that State have been or are being threatened or adversely 
     affected because any person has engaged or is engaging in a 
     pattern or practice of telemarketing which violates any rule 
     of the Commission under section 3, the State, as parens 
     patriae, may bring a civil action on behalf of its residents 
     in an appropriate district court of the United States to 
     enjoin such telemarketing, to enforce compliance with such 
     rule of the Commission, to obtain damages, restitution, or

     appropriate.

     areas of competition and consumer protection;
       (2) the distribution of personnel to individual offices of

     determines appropriate, to the Committee on Commerce,

     effectively be enforced at the State or local level. In 
     identifying such areas, the Commission shall--
       (1) consider the resources available to the Commission and 
     the States, as well as particular rules that have been 
     promulgated by the Commission;
       (2) consult with the attorneys general of the States, 
     representatives of consumers and industry, and other

     the Commission.

     Not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of this

Para. 82.10  u.s. troop withdrawal from berlin

  Mr. HAMILTON moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
resolution (H. Res. 476): 

       Whereas the people of the United States and Germany have 
     enjoyed warm and amicable relations for 5 decades;
       Whereas throughout the Cold War the existence of a free and 
     democratic West Berlin served as a symbol of Western resolve 
     in the face of totalitarian aggression;
       Whereas the armed forces of the United States have 
     maintained a continuous presence in defense of the city of 
     Berlin for 49 years;
       Whereas, in 1948 and 1949, the United States came to the 
     assistance of the people of Berlin during the 462 days of the 
     Berlin airlift;
       Whereas, following the construction of the Berlin wall, the 
     armed forces of the United States stationed in Berlin 
     demonstrated the American resolve to participate in the 
     defense of Western Europe;
       Whereas the United States takes pride in having admirably 
     fulfilled its administrative responsibilities over its sector 
     in the city of Berlin;
       Whereas the citizens of Berlin have reciprocated the United 
     States' commitment by demonstrating warm and genuine 
     hospitality and a willingness to integrate the American 
     community deeply into the life of the city;
       Whereas the American people shared the joy of the German 
     people at the collapse of the Berlin wall and German 
     unification;
       Whereas the termination of the Warsaw Pact and the 
     subsequent unification of Germany reduced the strategic 
     requirement for a continued United States military presence 
     in Berlin;
       Whereas the United States Berlin Brigade, together with 
     French and British contingents stationed in Berlin, are now 
     preparing for their departure from Berlin; and
       Whereas the history of friendly relations and longstanding 
     commercial and cultural bonds between the people of Berlin 
     and the United States form a sound basis for continued warm 
     and positive relations: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
       (1) congratulates the people of Germany on the unification 
     of the Nation and the city of Berlin as it prepares to resume 
     its position as the seat of government of united Germany;
       (2) congratulates the armed forces of the United States, 
     civilian administrators, and the American people for 5 
     decades of sacrifice and steadfast support for the city of 
     Berlin;
       (3) recognizes and salutes the contribution of British and 
     French allies in the defense of Berlin;
       (4) reaffirms the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     obligations of the United States and America's continued 
     support for a free, democratic, and united Germany; and
       (5) welcomes the further enrichment of the relationship 
     between the United States and the city of Berlin based on an 
     approach fostering new traditions in economic and cultural 
     links.

thirds of the Members present had voted in the affirmative.

which demand was supported by one-fifth of the Members present, so the

Para. 82.11  release of aung san suu kyi

  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following resolution (H. Res. 471); as amended: 

       Whereas in 1988, the Burmese regime brutally suppressed 
     nationwide pro-democracy demonstrations, resulting in the 
     deaths of several thousand people and the imprisonment of 
     several thousand others;
       Whereas in 1989, the Burmese regime placed under house 
     arrest Anng San Suu Kyi, the daughter of Burma's founding 
     father and the most prominent figure in the pro-democracy 
     movement;
       Whereas in May 1990, the Burmese people in free and fair 
     elections awarded over 80 percent of the National Assembly 
     seats to the National League for Democracy;
       Whereas the military regime responded to this expression of 
     the will of the Burmese people not only by refusing to 
     relinquish power, but by further cracking down on opposition 
     politicians and those who supported democracy and human 
     rights in Burma;
       Whereas the inhumane practices of the regime prompted a 
     quarter million Rohingya refugees to flee into Bangladesh, 
     where most remain today in refugee camps;
       Whereas in 1991, Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel 
     Peace Prize for her efforts on behalf of a peaceful 
     transition to democracy in Burma;
       Whereas in 1993, several past winners of the Nobel Peace 
     Prize, having been denied permission to visit Burma, traveled 
     to Thailand to call for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi;
       Whereas martial law remains in effect in Burma today, with 
     hundreds of political prisoners in custody, human rights 
     frequently violated, and national minorities driven into 
     exile;
       Whereas the Government of Burma has denied international 
     humanitarian agencies free and confidential access to 
     prisoners;
       Whereas credible reports continue to link Burmese 
     Government officials to the illegal trafficking into 
     Thailand, for purposes of forced prostitution, of 
     approximately 10,000 Burmese women and girls each year, many 
     of whom are deported back to Burma infected with the virus 
     that cause the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (commonly 
     referred to as the ``HIV virus'');
       Whereas the national convention convened by the Burmese 
     Government in January 1993 to begin work on a new 
     constitution does not have the mandate of the Burmese people, 
     nor appear to be progressing toward putting political power 
     in the hands of a freely elected civilian government;
       Whereas the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and 
     United Nations General Assembly have adopted consensus 
     resolutions deploring the human rights situation in Burma and 
     expressing grave concerns about the lack of progress toward 
     democracy as well as abuses such as summary and arbitrary 
     executions, torture, forced labor, and oppressive measures 
     against women and ethnic and religious minorities;
       Whereas Burma has for many years been the world's largest 
     producer of opium and heroin;
       Whereas the United States Government in each of the past 5 
     years has denied the Government of Burma certification under 
     chapter 8 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 due 
     to a lack of cooperation on narcotics control efforts;
       Whereas the problem of drug production and trafficking in 
     Burma cannot be adequately addressed until there is a 
     restoration of democracy in that country;
       Whereas credible reports continue to link Burmese 
     Government officials and military officers to drug 
     trafficking;
       Whereas since 1988 the United States has been in the 
     forefront of international efforts to promote democracy and 
     human rights in Burma;
       Whereas in 1992, the House of Representatives adopted House 
     Resolution 473, which condemned human rights abuses in Burma 
     and called upon the President to seek a mandatory 
     international arms embargo against Burma;
       Whereas in fiscal year 1993 the Congress earmarked 
     $1,000,000 to support assistance for Burmese refugees and 
     students on both sides of the Thai/Burma border;
       Whereas United States corporations are under increasing 
     pressure from stockholders to divest their holdings in Burma 
     and otherwise to refuse to do business in Burma so long as 
     the current military regime continues to abuse the political 
     and human rights of its people;
       Whereas the Government of Thailand has invited the Burmese 
     regime to participate in some of the meetings of the 
     Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in July 1994;
       Whereas the Government of Thailand has prohibited senior 
     officials of the National Coalition Government of the Union 
     of Burma from entering Thailand;

[[Page 1352]]

       Whereas July 19, 1994, will mark the 5th anniversary of 
     Aung San Suu Kyi's imprisonment;
       Whereas in March 1994 the United Nations Commission on 
     Human Rights noted measures taken by the Government of Burma 
     (including the reopening of universities, the release of over 
     2,000 political prisoners, the signing of a Memorandum of 
     Understanding providing for a United Nations Commission on 
     Human Rights presence in Arakan province to monitor the 
     voluntary repatriation and reintegration of Rohingya refugees 
     from Bangladesh, and the achievement of cease-fire agreements 
     with several ethnic and religious minority groups in Burma), 
     but at the same time deplored the continued seriousness of 
     the human rights situation in Burma; and
       Whereas the Government of Burma has for the first time 
     permitted meetings between foreign visitors and political 
     prisoners (including Aung San Suu Kyi), but continues to deny 
     the United Nations special rapporteur access to Aung San Suu 
     Kyi: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved,

     SECTION 1. ACTIONS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT OF 
                   BURMA.

       It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the 
     Government of Burma should--
       (1) immediately and unconditionally release Burma's 
     political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi;
       (2) permit the transfer of political power to an elected 
     civilian government based upon the results of the 1990 
     election;
       (3) fully respect the human rights and fundamental freedoms 
     that are the birthright of all peoples;
       (4) end the practice of forced labor, including portering 
     for the military;
       (5) allow free and confidential access to all prisoners, 
     including prisoners of conscience, by international 
     humanitarian agencies;
       (6) permit international human rights organizations regular 
     access to villages and detention centers to monitor the 
     repatriation of Burmese victims of illegal trafficking into 
     Thailand for purposes of forced prostitution;
       (7) implement fully the Memorandum of Understanding with 
     United Nations Commission on Human Rights and create the 
     necessary conditions to ensure an end to the flows of 
     refugees to neighboring countries and to facilitate the 
     speedy repatriation and full reintegration, under conditions 
     of safety and dignity, of those who have already fled Burma;
       (8) respect fully the obligations set forth in the 1949 
     Geneva Conventions, in particular the obligations in common 
     article III, and make use of such relief services as may be 
     offered by impartial humanitarian bodies; and
       (9) take effective law enforcement actions against those 
     individuals within the Burmese Government (including the 
     Burmese military), as well as those outside the government, 
     who are engaged in the production and trafficking of illicit 
     narcotics.

     SEC. 2. ACTIONS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE 
                   UNITED STATES.

       It is further the sense of the House of Representatives 
     that the President, the Secretary of State, and other United 
     States Government officials and representatives should--
       (1) urge the Government of Burma to release, immediately 
     and unconditionally, Aung San Suu Kyi and other political 
     prisoners;
       (2) maintain the current United States ban on all forms of 
     nonhumanitarian assistance to Burma;
       (3) disperse the funds previously appropriated to support 
     assistance for Burmese refugees and students along the Thai/
     Burma border;
       (4) maintain current limitations on the provision of 
     bilateral narcotics control assistance to the Government of 
     Burma until that government demonstrates a genuine commitment 
     to combating the scourge of illicit narcotics production and 
     trafficking while continuing, and if appropriate, 
     strengthening international efforts through the United 
     Nations Drug Control Program to reduce and eliminate the 
     massive heroin production and trade from Burma that now 
     threatens the world;
       (5) continue to oppose loans to Burma in accordance with 
     chapter 8 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961;
       (6) consider imposing further economic sanctions against 
     Burma, and encourage other members of the international 
     community to take similar steps;
       (7) elevate the issues of democracy and human rights in 
     Burma in the conduct of United States relations with other 
     members of the international community, particularly in 
     coordination with Japan, China, and the members of the 
     Association of Southeast Asian Nations;
       (8) maintain United States support for the appointment by 
     the United Nations Secretary General of a special envoy to 
     focus on conflict resolution as the basis of national 
     reconciliation and the restoration of democracy in Burma;
       (9) urge the Government of Thailand to work with the 
     Government of Burma to investigate the involvement of border 
     police in both countries in the illegal trafficking of women 
     and girls into Thailand for purposes of forced prostitution;
       (10) ensure that, during the July 1994 Post-Ministerial 
     Conference of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the 
     Secretary of State calls on the members of the Association of 
     Southeast Asian Nations to support the international 
     consensus on Burma by urging the Government of Burma to 
     unconditionally release Aung San Suu Kyi and to indicate its 
     willingness to cooperate with a special envoy appointed by 
     the United Nations Secretary General;
       (11) maintain the unilateral United States arms embargo 
     against Burma, and encourage the other members of the 
     international community, most particularly People's Republic 
     of China, Thailand, and the other members of the Association 
     of Southeast Asian Nations, to prohibit arms sales and 
     transfers to Burma;
       (12) encourage other members of the international community 
     to halt all nonhumanitarian assistance to Burma or, at a 
     minimum, to condition any new official assistance on 
     significant progress by the Government of Burma toward 
     respecting the human rights and fundamental freedoms of its 
     people;

Para. 82.12  democracy in nigeria

  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 151); as amended: 

       Whereas the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and 
     the international community had been led to believe that the 
     presidential election held in Nigeria on June 12, 1993, would 
     result in a return to full democratic civilian rule in 
     Nigeria;
       Whereas General Ibrahim Babangida, the head of Nigeria's 
     military government at the time of the June 12, 1993, 
     election, interrupted the release of the election results on 
     June 23, 1993, and later annulled the election, thereby 
     preventing a return to civilian rule;
       Whereas the election process indicated that voters in 
     Nigeria--a country with a population of approximately 
     90,000,000 individuals comprising 250 ethnic groups and 
     spread across 357,000 square miles--were expressing a spirit 
     of national unity that transcended ethnic, religious, and 
     regional allegiances;
       Whereas reported returns suggested that Moshood Abiola of 
     the Social Democratic Party was receiving a substantial 
     majority of the votes cast, leading the poll in 20 of the 30 
     states in Nigeria;
       Whereas the annulment of the presidential elections 
     resulted in various forms of civil unrest, which in turn led 
     to the death of more than 100 individuals;
       Whereas an interim government established by General 
     Babangida on August 27, 1993, and headed by Ernest Shonekan, 
     failed to win the support of the Nigerian people;
       Whereas General Sani Abacha took power on November 17, 
     1993, appointing an unelected provisional ruling council to 
     govern Nigeria;
       Whereas General Abacha and the provisional ruling council, 
     upon taking power, stated their commitment to an early return 
     to civilian and democratic rule, and named several prominent 
     democratic political figures to serve in the government;
       Whereas the political and economic conditions in Nigeria 
     have continued to deteriorate in the months since Abacha took 
     control of the country;
       Whereas the faith of the Nigerian people in the viability 
     of the nation as a unified whole must be preserved, and the 
     balkanization of Nigeria guarded against;
       Whereas the people of Nigeria have not accepted the 
     continuation of military rule and have courageously spoken 
     out in favor of the rapid return of democratic and civilian 
     rule;
       Whereas on May 15, 1994, a broad coalition of Nigerian 
     democrats formed the National Democratic Coalition calling 
     upon the military government to step down in favor of the 
     winner of the June 12, 1993, election;
       Whereas the confidence of the Nigerian people and the 
     international community in the provisional ruling council's 
     commitment

[[Page 1353]]

     to the restoration of democracy can only be established by a 
     sustained demonstration of a commitment to human rights, due 
     process, and the return of civilian rule;
       Whereas the United States would prefer to have a 
     relationship with Nigeria based upon cooperation and mutual 
     support but cannot, and will not, condone or overtook the 
     denial of democratic civilian rule--against the clear wishes 
     of the Nigerian people--by the provisional ruling council or 
     any other body in Nigeria;
       Whereas the lack of support from the Nigerian authorities 
     on drug trafficking issues has recently forced the United 
     States to place Nigeria on the list of countries penalized 
     for failure to seriously address the narcotics proliferation 
     issue;
       Whereas continuing credible reports of widespread 
     corruption and questionable business practices in the 
     Nigerian Government, and the lack of cooperation in 
     addressing these problems by the Nigerian Government, further 
     undermines Nigeria's credibility in the international 
     community;
       Whereas the steps taken by the international community in 
     response to the refusal of the Nigerian military to 
     relinquish power serve both to encourage the people of 
     Nigeria in their legitimate struggle for democracy and to 
     limit the ability of the military to entrench its rule; and
       Whereas Nigeria's leadership role on the African continent 
     and its international influence will be severely compromised 
     by its failure to rejoin the world community of democratic 
     nations: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) continues to support the Nigerian people in their 
     commitment to unity and democracy as evidenced by their 
     participation in the June 12, 1993, presidential election in 
     the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and in their subsequent 
     insistence on the return to full civilian and democratic 
     rule;
       (2) endorses the steps taken by President Clinton and the 
     Administration--specifically the restrictions on assistance 
     to agencies of the Nigerian Government, the suspension of 
     military cooperation between the United States and Nigeria, 
     the restrictions on travel to the United States by officials 
     of the Nigerian military regime, and the insistence that full 
     normalization of United States--Nigeria relations depends 
     upon the restoration of civilian democratic rule--to 
     demonstrate United States opposition to the annulment of such 
     election and to encourage the restoration of fully democratic 
     and civilian rule in Nigeria;
       (3) urges the Administration to continue all actions 
     designed to encourage the restoration of civilian rule in 
     Nigeria, especially the restriction on travel to the United 
     States by officials of the military regime, until concrete 
     and significant steps have been taken toward a genuine 
     transition to a democratically elected civilian government in 
     Nigeria;
       (4) encourages the Administration to explore additional 
     measures that might be taken, either unilaterally, in 
     cooperation with other nations, or through multilateral 
     institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the 
     International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, to 
     constructively encourage the restoration of democratic and 
     civilian rule in Nigeria;
       (5) requests that United States officials, both in the 
     United States and in Nigeria, consistently reiterate United 
     States insistence upon the rapid return of civilian and 
     democratic rule in Nigeria, and that United States Government 
     agencies such as the United States Information Agency and the 
     Agency for International Development, as well as publicly 
     supported agencies such as the National Endowment for 
     Democracy, should provide support for activities aimed at 
     strengthening democratic forces and democratic institutions 
     in Nigeria;
       (6) condemns the recent arrests by the Nigerian military 
     authorities of Chief Abiola and other political leaders and 
     democracy advocates, as well as the new restrictions imposed 
     on freedom of expression; and
       (7) urges General Abacha and the provisional ruling council 
     in Nigeria, in order to maintain the viability of Nigeria and 
     restore political stability and to avert the further 
     deterioration of relations between Nigeria and the United 
     States, to--
       (A) fully restore freedom of the press, with access to all 
     contemporary political and electoral information, fully 
     respect human rights, and fully restore the independence and 
     authority of the judiciary in Nigeria;
       (B) immediately release Chief Abiola and the other 
     political leaders and human rights activists who have been 
     arrested or detained;
       (C) decisively move to resolve the political crisis in 
     Nigeria by setting up a rapid timetable for the full 
     restoration of civilian and democratic rule, unencumbered by 
     the military; and
       (D) positively respond to United States and other 
     international efforts to constructively encourage the 
     restoration of democracy in Nigeria.

of New Jersey and Mr. BEREUTER, each for 20 minutes.

     risk assessment, with varying levels of effort and data 
     requirements in the conduct of risk assessment based on the 
     need for accuracy of the risk estimate.
       (6) Criteria for conducting uncertainty analysis during the 
     course of the risk assessment, and an explanation of the data 
     needs for such analysis.
       (7) Effective methods for reporting risk assessment, to 
     ensure that the results are reasonably understandable by 
     interested persons, including formats which clearly identify 
     and distinguish sources of uncertainty and variability in the 
     risk assessment.
       (8) Criteria for identification and use of the most 
     plausible and unbiased methodologies and assumptions, given 
     the scientific information available.
       (9) Relevant information on data and assessment methods 
     that significantly influence the risk estimate.
       (10) A statement of the limitations, assumptions, and 
     default options included in the assessment and a statement of 
     the rationale and extent of scientific consenus with respect 
     to their use.
       (11) A statement that identifies major uncertainties and 
     their influence upon the assessment. The statement shall 
     characterize uncertainties associated with experimental 
     measurement errors and uncertainties associated with the 
     choice of specific models and default options.
       (12) The range and distribution of exposures derived from 
     exposure scenarios used in a risk assessment, including, for 
     example, upper-bound and central estimate(s) and their 
     qualitative, or where possible quantitative, likelihood, and, 
     when available and appropriate, the identification of highly 
     susceptible groups, species, individuals, and subpopulations 
     whose exposure exceeds that of the general population.
       (13) The use of both quantitative and qualitative 
     descriptors, when available and appropriate, to present a 
     comprehensive range of risks which are or may be encountered 
     by the various populations and individuals in a human health 
     risk assessment, or by the various species and ecological 
     communities in an ecological risk assessment, exposed to the 
     environmental hazard being evaluated in the risk assessment.
       (14) A description of appropriate statistical expressions 
     of the range and variability of the risk estimate, including 
     the population or populations addressed by any risk 
     estimate(s), central estimates of the risk for the specific 
     population, any appropriate upper-bound and lower-bound 
     estimates, and the reasonable range or other description of 
     uncertainties in the assessment process.
       (15) Comparisons of risk to public health, including 
     appropriate comparisons with estimates of other risks to 
     health, including those that are familiar to and routinely 
     encountered by the general public, and relevant substitution 
     risks, where information on such risks is made available. 
     Comparisons shall identify relevant distinctions among 
     categories or risks and limitations to comparisons.

     SEC. 602. SAVINGS PROVISION.

       Nothing in this title shall be construed to modify any 
     requirement or standard provided for in another provision of 
     law that provides for risk assessment or is designed to 
     protect health, safety, or the environment. Nothing in this 
     title shall be construed to require the conduct of a risk 
     assessment or a risk characterization that is not required by 
     law.

     SEC. 603. DEFINITIONS.

       For purposes of this title:
       (1) The term ``comparison of risk'' means a process to 
     systematically estimate, compare, and rank the size and 
     severity of environmental risks or health risks in order to 
     provide a common basis for evaluating strategies for reducing 
     or preventing those risks.
       (2) The term ``default option'' means a condition, 
     assumption, or fact that is presumed on the basis of 
     available data and prevailing theory.
       (3) The term ``risk assessment'' means the process or 
     procedure by which the potential adverse health or ecological 
     effects of exposure of human or nonhuman species to 
     environmental hazards is characterized.
       (4) The term ``uncertainty analysis'' means the systematic 
     process of identifying that which is not known or is unclear, 
     including measurement errors, the lack of fundamental 
     knowledge needed to choose among alternative hypotheses, and 
     assumptions, or experimental models.
       (5) The term ``central estimates'' means estimates of 
     central tendencies or expected risk based, to the extent 
     feasible, on the most plausible and unbiased assumptions, 
     given the scientific information available.
       (6) The term ``substitution risk'' means a potential 
     increase in certain types of risk from a strategy designed to 
     decrease other risks.

     SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Promoting a sound economy and maintaining a healthy 
     environment are among the urgent public policy challenges of 
     the United States.
       (2) The research, development, and demonstration of 
     environmental technologies will enhance the economic standing 
     of the United States and global environmental security.
       (3) Although better designs for products and processes 
     offer new opportunities for substantially improved 
     environmental performance in growing domestic and 
     international markets, current government regulations and 
     market barriers do not allow these opportunities to be fully 
     exploited.
       (4) Although the Federal Government, research institutes, 
     universities, and industries are conducting substantial basic 
     environmental research and development, environmental 
     concerns must become a more pervasive and central dimension 
     of technology research and development.
       (5) The coordination of Federal, State, and local 
     activities for the research, development, and demonstration 
     of environmental technologies will greatly enhance the 
     effectiveness of environmental policies of the United States.

     SEC. 103. PURPOSES.

       It is the purpose of this Act--
       (1) to improve, consistent with applicable provisions of 
     law, coordination and integration of environmental technology 
     research and development performed by and across Federal 
     agencies;

     SEC. 202. LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENTS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Consideration of life-cycle consequences of the 
     development of a technology can greatly assist in the 
     achievement of more environmentally sound products, 
     processes, and services and enhanced industrial efficiency. 
     Life-cycle assessments and other design-for-environment 
     resources can facilitate this achievement by clarifying 
     materials flows and energy flows and by enhancing 
     capabilities to assess these flows in the design of such 
     products, processes, and services.
       (2) Methods of life-cycle assessment and other design-for-
     environment resources are underused in both the public and 
     private sectors, particularly as applied to sustainable 
     economic development.
       (3) The data necessary for meaningful life-cycle assessment 
     and other design-for-environment resources are often 
     difficult to acquire, and no system exists to make such data 
     readily available to public and private groups.
       (b) Life-Cycle Assessment Coordination.--
       (1) In general.--As part of, and consistent with, the 
     overall Federal environmental technology strategy established 
     in section 201, the Director of the Office of Science and 
     Technology Policy or other entity designated by the President 
     shall, in collaboration with the heads of other appropriate 
     Federal agencies (including the Secretary of Commerce, the 
     Secretary of Energy, and the Secretary of Defense), 
     coordinate Federal activities and resources that are applied 
     to life-cycle assessment and other design-for-environment 
     resources in order to maximize the contribution of life-cycle 
     assessments and other design-for-environment resources to the 
     efficient design, development, and use of technologies, and 
     to sustainable economic development.
       (2) Implementation.--In carrying out this subsection, the 
     Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy or 
     other entity designated by the President shall--
       (A) ensure that the life-cycle assessment and other design-
     for-environment resources of each Federal agency are 
     developed and disseminated in a coordinated fashion, 
     partitioning agency responsibilities where appropriate;
       (B) coordinate with State and local governments developing 
     life-cycle assessment and other design-for-environment 
     resources; and
       (C) consult with industry, professional, nonprofit, and 
     other appropriate private-sector organizations to take into 
     account the life-cycle assessment and other design-for-
     environment capabilities of the private sector in carrying 
     out this section.
       (3) Other activities.--In carrying out this subsection, the 
     Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy or 
     other entity designated by the President shall also encourage 
     appropriate Federal agencies--
       (A) to collect and disseminate information regarding 
     analytic methods (and, as required, to develop such methods) 
     that will significantly enhance the ability of United States 
     companies and other organizations to evaluate materials 
     extraction, materials conversion, transportation, energy use, 
     end use, recycling, and disposal, and their associated costs 
     and environmental impacts;
       (B) to utilize, to the fullest extent practicable, existing 
     networks and supporting databases which provide access to 
     publicly available information that will facilitate the use 
     of life-cycle assessments and other design-for-environment 
     resources;
       (C) to sponsor demonstrations for public policy and 
     business decisionmakers of the effective use of life-cycle 
     assessment and other design-for-environment data and methods 
     described in this section; and
       (D) to ensure that private-sector life-cycle assessment and 
     other design-for-environment capabilities are, and continue 
     to be, fully integrated into activities under this section.
       (4) Limitation.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     considered to require the use of life-cycle assessment or 
     other design-for-environment data or methods by any Federal 
     agency.
       (c) Annual Review.--The Director of the Office of Science 
     and Technology Policy or other entity designated by the 
     President shall annually submit to the Congress a report 
     containing an evaluation of the life-cycle assessment or 
     other design-for-environment activities of the Federal 
     Government.

       (A) the findings of the Secretary on the success of the 
     demonstration program at achieving its purposes under this 
     section;
       (B) a comparison of recycling and reusing radioactively 
     contaminated metals and equipment with the alternative of 
     containing and disposing of such metals and equipment;
       (C) the quantitative assessment described in paragraph (3) 
     of this subsection; and
       (D) a proposal, including any recommendations for necessary 
     legislation, for expanding the demonstration program to cover 
     radioactively uncontaminated and decontaminated metals and 
     equipment at all National Laboratories and former nuclear 
     weapons production facilities.
       (3) Quantitative assessment.--To enable the Secretary to 
     carry out paragraph (2)(D), the Secretary shall develop a 
     quantitative estimate of--
       (A) all metals and equipment owned by the Department at the 
     National Laboratories and former nuclear weapons production 
     facilities that are not radioactively contaminated and that 
     are suitable for resale or recycling;
       (B) all metals and equipment owned by the Department at the 
     National Laboratories and former nuclear weapons production 
     facilities that have been radioactively contaminated but can 
     be recycled or reused by the Department; and
       (C) all metals and equipment owned by the Department at the 
     National Laboratories and former nuclear weapons production 
     facilities that have been radioactively contaminated but can 
     be decontaminated and may be appropriate for sale to the 
     public.
       (4) Factors in comparison.--In making the comparison 
     required under paragraph (2)(B), the Secretary shall consider 
     the full life cycle costs of each alternative, including 
     revenues or savings realized and the costs of treatment, 
     containment, storage, disposal, monitoring, and replacement. 
     Disposal costs shall be calculated on the basis of the costs 
     of such disposal to commercial disposal companies.

                 TITLE VI--RISK ASSESSMENT IMPROVEMENT

     SEC. 601. CRITERIA FOR RISK ASSESSMENT.

       Any risk assessment under section 201(a)(2) shall contain 
     the following:
       (1) Criteria for accepting and evaluating data.
       (2) A complete description of any mathematical models or 
     other assumptions likely to be used in the risk assessment, 
     including a discussion of their plausibility.
       (3) A description of the default options, the justification 
     and validation for the default options, and an explicit 
     statement of the rationale for selecting a particular default 
     option, in the absence of adequate data, based on explicitly 
     stated science policy choices and consideration of relevant 
     scientific information.
       (4) The technical justification for, and a description of 
     the degree of, conservatism each default option imposes upon 
     the risk assessment.
       (5) Criteria for using iterative or tiered approaches to 
     risk assessment, with varying levels of effort and data 
     requirements in the conduct of risk assessment based on the 
     need for accuracy of the risk estimate.
       (6) Criteria for conducting uncertainty analysis during the 
     course of the risk assessment, and an explanation of the data 
     needs for such analysis.
       (7) Effective methods for reporting risk assessment, to 
     ensure that the results are reasonably understandable by 
     interested persons, including formats which clearly identify 
     and distinguish sources of uncertainty and variability in the 
     risk assessment.
       (8) Criteria for identification and use of the most 
     plausible and unbiased methodologies

[[Page 1369]]

     and assumptions, given the scientific information available.
       (9) Relevant information on data and assessment methods 
     that significantly influence the risk estimate.
       (10) A statement of the limitations, assumptions, and 
     default options included in the assessment and a statement of 
     the rationale and extent of scientific consensus with respect 
     to their use.
       (11) A statement that identifies major uncertainties and 
     their influence upon the assessment. The statement shall 
     characterize uncertainties associated with experimental 
     measurement errors and uncertainties associated with the 
     choice of specific models and default options.
       (12) The range and distribution of exposures derived from 
     exposure scenarios used in a risk assessment, including, for 
     example, upper-bound and central estimate(s) and their 
     qualitative, or where possible quantitative, likelihood, and, 
     when available and appropriate, the identification of highly 
     susceptible groups, species, individuals, and subpopulations 
     whose exposure exceeds that of the general population.
       (13) The use of both quantitative and qualitative 
     descriptors, when available and appropriate, to present a 
     comprehensive range of risks which are or may be encountered 
     by the various populations and individuals in a human health 
     risk assessment, or by the various species and ecological 
     communities in an ecological risk assessment, exposed to the 
     environmental hazard being evaluated in the risk assessment.
       (14) A description of appropriate statistical expressions 
     of the range and variability of the risk estimate, including 
     the population or populations addressed by any risk 
     estimate(s), central estimates of the risk for the specific 
     population, any appropriate upper-bound and lower-bound 
     estimates, and the reasonable range or other description of 
     uncertainties in the assessment process.
       (15) Comparisons of risk to public health, including 
     appropriate comparisons with estimates of other risks to 
     health, including those that are familiar to and routinely 
     encountered by the general public, and relevant substitution 
     risks, where information on such risks is made available. 
     Comparisons shall identify relevant distinctions among 
     categories or risks and limitations to comparisons.

     SEC. 602. SAVINGS PROVISION.

       Nothing in this title shall be construed to modify any 
     requirement or standard provided for in another provision of 
     law that provides for risk assessment or is designed to 
     protect health, safety, or the environment. Nothing in this 
     title shall be construed to require the conduct of a risk 
     assessment or a risk characterization that is not required by 
     law.

     SEC. 603. DEFINITIONS.

       For purposes of this title:
       (1) The term ``comparisons of risk'' means a process to 
     systematically estimate, compare, and rank the size and 
     severity of environmental risks or health risks in order to 
     provide a common basis for evaluating strategies for reducing 
     or preventing those risks.
       (2) The term ``default option'' means a condition, 
     assumption, or fact that is presumed on the basis of 
     available data and prevailing theory.
       (3) The term ``risk assessment'' means the process or 
     procedure by which the potential adverse health or ecological 
     effects of exposure of human or nonhuman species to 
     environmental hazards is characterized.
       (4) The term ``uncertainty analysis'' means the systematic 
     process of identifying that which is not known or is unclear, 
     including measurement errors, the lack of fundamental 
     knowledge needed to choose among alternative hypotheses, and 
     assumptions, or experimental models.
       (5) The term ``central estimates'' means estimates of 
     central tendencies or expected risk based, to the extent 
     feasible, on the most plausible and unbiased assumptions, 
     given the scientific information available.
       (6) The term ``substitution risk'' means a potential 
     increase in certain types of risk from a strategy designed to 
     decrease other risks.

  So the motion was agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SWIFT, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. PETERSON of Florida, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 
422, reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by 
the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:
     That this Act may be cited as the ``California Desert 
     Protection Act of 1994''.


                          findings and policy

       Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) the federally owned desert lands of Southern California 
     constitute a public wildland resource of extraordinary and 
     inestimable value for this and future generations;
       (2) these desert wildlands display unique scenic, 
     historical, archeological, environmental, ecological, 
     wildlife, cultural, scientific, educational, and recreational 
     values used and enjoyed by millions of Americans for hiking 
     and camping, scientific study and scenic appreciation;
       (3) the public land resources of the California desert now 
     face and are increasingly threatened by adverse pressures 
     which would impair, dilute, and destroy their public and 
     natural values;
       (4) the California desert, embracing wilderness lands, 
     units of the National Park System, other Federal lands, State 
     parks and other State lands, and private lands, constitutes a 
     cohesive unit posing unique and difficult resource protection 
     and management challenges;
       (5) through designation of national monuments by 
     Presidential proclamation, through enactment of general 
     public land statutes (including section 601 of the Federal 
     Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 90 Stat. 2743, 43 
     U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and through interim administrative 
     actions, the Federal Government has begun the process of 
     appropriately providing for protection of the significant 
     resources of the public lands in the California desert; and
       (6) statutory land unit designations are needed to afford 
     the full protection which the resources and public land 
     values of the California desert merit.
       (b) In order to secure for the American people of this and 
     future generations an enduring heritage of wilderness, 
     national parks, and public land values in the California 
     desert, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the 
     Congress that--
       (1) appropriate public lands in the California desert shall 
     be included within the National Park System and the National 
     Wilderness Preservation System, in order to--
       (A) preserve unrivaled scenic, geologic, and wildlife 
     values associated with these unique natural landscapes;
       (B) perpetuate in their natural state significant and 
     diverse ecosystems of the California desert;
       (C) protect and preserve historical and cultural values of 
     the California desert associated with ancient Indian 
     cultures, patterns of western exploration and settlement, and 
     sites exemplifying the mining, ranching and railroading 
     history of the Old West;
       (D) provide opportunities for compatible outdoor public 
     recreation, protect and interpret ecological and geological 
     features and historic, paleontological, and archeological 
     sites, maintain wilderness resource values, and promote 
     public understanding and appreciation of the California 
     desert; and
       (E) retain and enhance opportunities for scientific 
     research in undisturbed ecosystems.

                     TITLE I--WILDERNESS ADDITIONS


                                findings

       Sec. 101. The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) wilderness is a distinguishing characteristic of the 
     public lands in the California desert, one which affords an 
     unrivaled opportunity for experiencing vast areas of the Old 
     West essentially unaltered by man's activities, and which 
     merits preservation for the benefit of present and future 
     generations;
       (2) the wilderness values of desert lands are increasingly 
     threatened by and especially vulnerable to impairment, 
     alteration, and destruction by activities and intrusions 
     associated with incompatible use and development; and
       (3) preservation of desert wilderness necessarily requires 
     the highest forms of protective designation and management.


                       designation of wilderness

       Sec. 102. In furtherance of the purpose of the Wilderness 
     Act (78 Stat. 890, 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), and sections 601 
     and 603 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 
     (90 Stat. 2743, 43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the following lands 
     in the State of California, as generally depicted on maps 
     referenced herein, are hereby designated as wilderness, and

                 study as to validity of mining claims

       Sec. 408 (a) The Secretary shall not approve any plan of 
     operation prior to determining the validity of the unpatented 
     mining claims, mill sites, and tunnel sites affected by such 
     plan within the preserve and shall submit to Congress 
     recommendations as to whether any valid or patented claims 
     should be acquired by the United States, including the 
     estimated acquisition costs of such claims, and a discussion 
     of the environmental consequences of the extraction of 
     minerals from these lands.
       (b)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     Secretary of the Interior shall permit the holder or holders 
     of mining claims identified on the records of the Bureau of

     sooner if so requested by the holder or holders of the claims 
     specified in such paragraph, the Secretary shall determine 
     whether there has been a discovery of valuable minerals on 
     such claims and whether, if such discovery had been made on 
     or before July 1, 1994, such claims would have been valid as 
     of such date under the mining laws of the United States in 
     effect on such date.
       (3) If the Secretary, pursuant to paragraph (2), makes an 
     affirmative determination concerning the claims specified in 
     paragraph (1), the holder or holders of such claims shall be

     subsection (a) informs the Secretary that such permittee is 
     willing to convey to the United States any base property with 
     respect to which such permit was issued and to which such 
     permittee holds title, the Secretary shall make the 
     acquisition of such base property a priority as compared with 
     the acquisition of other lands within the preserve, provided 
     agreement can be reached concerning the terms and conditions 
     of such acquisition. Any such base property which is located 
     outside the preserve and acquired as a priority pursuant to 
     this section shall be managed by the Federal agency 
     responsible for the majority of the adjacent lands in 
     accordance with the laws applicable to such adjacent lands.

     appropriated by the United States in the State of California 
     on or before the date of enactment of this Act.
       (d) The Federal water rights reserved by this Act are 
     specific to the wilderness areas located in the State of 
     California designated under this Act. Nothing in this Act 
     related to the reserved Federal water rights shall be 
     construed as establishing a precedent with regard to any 
     future designations, nor shall it constitute an 
     interpretation of any other Act or any designation made 
     thereto.
       (e) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to affect the 
     operation of federally owned dams located on the Colorado 
     River in the Lower Basin.

            TITLE VIII--CALIFORNIA MILITARY LANDS WITHDRAWAL

     SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS.

       (a) Short Title.--This title may be cited as the 
     ``California Military Lands Withdrawal and Overflights Act of 
     1994''.
       (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Federal lands within the desert regions of 
     California have provided essential opportunities for military 
     training, research, and development for the Armed Forces of 
     the United States and allied nations;
       (2) alternative sites for military training and other 
     military activities carried out on Federal lands in the 
     California desert area are not readily available;
       (3) while changing world conditions have lessened to some 
     extent the immediacy of military threats to the national 
     security of the United States and its allies, there remains a 
     need for military training, research, and development 
     activities of the types that have been carried out on Federal 
     lands in the California desert area; and
       (4) continuation of existing military training, research, 
     and development activities, under appropriate terms and 
     conditions, is not incompatible with the protection and 
     proper management of the natural, environmental, cultural, 
     and other resources and values of the Federal lands in the 
     California desert area.

     SEC. 802. WITHDRAWALS.

       (a) China Lake.--(1) Subject to valid existing rights and 
     except as otherwise provided in this title, the Federal lands 
     referred to in paragraph (2), and all other areas within the 
     boundary of such lands as depicted on the map specified in 
     such paragraph which may become subject to the operation of 
     the public land laws, are hereby withdrawn from all forms of 
     appropriation under the public land laws (including the 
     mining laws and the mineral leasing laws). Such lands are 
     reserved for use by the Secretary of the Navy for--
       (A) use as a research, development, test, and evaluation 
     laboratory;
       (B) use as a range for air warfare weapons and weapon 
     systems;
       (C) use as a high hazard training area for aerial gunnery,

     SEC. 804. MANAGEMENT OF WITHDRAWN LANDS.

       (a) Management by the Secretary of the Interior.--(1) 
     Except as provided in subsection (g), during the period of 
     the withdrawal the Secretary of the Interior shall manage the 
     lands withdrawn under section 802 pursuant to the Federal 
     Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et 
     seq.) and other applicable law, including this Act.
       (2) To the extent consistent with applicable law and 
     Executive orders, the lands withdrawn under section 802 may 
     be managed in a manner permitting--
       (A) the continuation of grazing pursuant to applicable law 
     and Executive orders where permitted on the date of enactment 
     of this title;
       (B) protection of wildlife and wildlife habitat;
       (C) control of predatory and other animals;
       (D) recreation (but only on lands withdrawn by section 
     802(a) (relating to China Lake));
       (E) the prevention and appropriate suppression of brush and 
     range fires resulting from nonmilitary activities; and
       (F) geothermal leasing and development and related power 
     production activities on the lands withdrawn under section 
     802(a) (relating to China Lake).
       (3)(A) All nonmilitary use of such lands, including the 
     uses described in paragraph (2), shall be subject to such 
     conditions and restrictions as may be necessary to permit the 
     military use of such lands for the purposes specified in or 
     authorized pursuant to this title.
       (B) The Secretary of the Interior may issue any lease, 
     easement, right-of-way, or other authorization with respect 
     to the nonmilitary use of such lands only with the 
     concurrence of the Secretary of the Navy.
       (b) Closure to Public.--(1) If the Secretary of the Navy 
     determines that military operations, public safety, or 
     national security require the closure to public use of any 
     road, trail, or other portion of the lands withdrawn by this 
     title, the Secretary may take such action as the Secretary 
     determines necessary or desirable to effect and maintain such 
     closure.
       (2) Any such closure shall be limited to the minimum areas 
     and periods which the Secretary of the Navy determines are 
     required to carry out this subsection.
       (3) Before and during any closure under this subsection, 
     the Secretary of the Navy shall--
       (A) keep appropriate warning notices posted; and
       (B) take appropriate steps to notify the public concerning 
     such closures.
       (c) Management Plan.--The Secretary of the Interior (after 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Navy) shall develop a 
     plan for the management of each area withdrawn under section 
     802 during the period of such withdrawal. Each plan shall--
       (1) be consistent with applicable law;
       (2) be subject to conditions and restrictions specified in 
     subsection (a)(3);
       (3) include such provisions as may be necessary for proper 
     management and protection of the resources and values of such 
     area; and
       (4) be developed not later than three years after the date 
     of enactment of this title.
       (d) Brush and Range Fires.--The Secretary of the Navy shall 
     take necessary precautions to prevent and suppress brush and 
     range fires occurring within and outside the lands withdrawn 
     under section 802 as a result of military activities and may 
     seek assistance from the Bureau of Land Management in the 
     suppression of such fires. The memorandum of understanding 
     required by subsection (e) shall provide for Bureau of Land 
     Management assistance in the suppression of such fires, and 
     for a transfer of funds from the Department of the Navy to 
     the Bureau of Land Management as compensation for such 
     assistance.
       (e) Memorandum of Understanding.--(1) The Secretary of the 
     Interior and the Secretary of the Navy shall (with respect to 
     each land withdrawal under section 802) enter into a 
     memorandum of understanding to implement the management plan 
     developed under subsection (c). Any such memorandum of 
     understanding shall provide that the Director of the Bureau 
     of Land Management shall provide assistance in the 
     suppression of fires resulting from the military use of lands 
     withdrawn under section 802 if requested by the Secretary of 
     the Navy.
       (2) The duration of any such memorandum shall be the same 
     as the period of the withdrawal of the lands under section 
     802.
       (f) Additional Military Uses.--(1) Lands withdrawn by 
     section 802 may be used for defense-related uses other than 
     those specified in such section. The Secretary of Defense 
     shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Interior in the 
     event that the lands withdrawn by this title will be used for 
     defense-related purposes other than those specified in 
     section 802. Such notification shall indicate the additional 
     use or uses involved, the proposed duration of such uses, and 
     the extent to which such additional military uses of the 
     withdrawn lands will require that additional or more 
     stringent conditions or restrictions be imposed on otherwise-
     permitted nonmilitary uses of the withdrawn land or portions 
     thereof.
       (g) Management of China Lake.--(1) The Secretary of the 
     Interior may assign the management responsibility for the 
     lands withdrawn under section 802(a) to the Secretary of the 
     Navy who shall manage such lands, and issue leases, 
     easements, rights-of-way, and other authorizations, in 
     accordance with this title and cooperative management 
     arrangements between the Secretary of the Interior and the 
     Secretary of the Navy. In the case that the Secretary of the 
     Interior assigns such management responsibility to the 
     Secretary of the Navy before the development of the 
     management plan under subsection (c), the Secretary of the 
     Navy (after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior) 
     shall develop such management plan. Nothing in this title 
     shall affect geothermal leases issued by the Secretary of the 
     Interior prior to the date of enactment of this title or the 
     responsibility of the Secretary to administer and manage such 
     leases consistent with the provisions of this title.
       (2) The Secretary of the Interior shall be responsible for 
     the issuance of any lease, easement, right-of-way, and other 
     authorization with respect to any activity which involves 
     both the lands withdrawn under section 802(a) and any other 
     lands. Any such authorization shall be issued only with the 
     consent of the Secretary of the Navy and, to the extent that 
     such activity involves lands withdrawn under section 802(a), 
     shall be subject to such conditions as the Secretary of the 
     Navy may prescribe.
       (3) The Secretary of the Navy shall prepare and submit to 
     the Secretary of the Interior an annual report on the status 
     of the natural and cultural resources and values of the lands 
     withdrawn under section 802(a). The Secretary of the Interior 
     shall transmit such report to the Committee on Natural 
     Resources of the House of Representatives and the Committee 
     on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate.
       (4) The Secretary of the Navy shall be responsible for the 
     management of wild horses and burros located on the lands 
     withdrawn under section 802(a) and may utilize helicopters 
     and motorized vehicles for such purposes. Such management 
     shall be in accordance with laws applicable to such 
     management on public lands and with an appropriate memorandum 
     of understanding between the Secretary of the Interior and 
     the Secretary of the Navy.
       (5) Neither this Act nor any other provision of law shall 
     be construed to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from 
     issuing and administering any lease for the development and 
     utilization of geothermal steam and associated geothermal 
     resources on the lands withdrawn under section 802(a) 
     pursuant to the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 1001 
     et seq.) and other applicable law, but no such lease shall be 
     issued without the concurrence of the Secretary of the Navy.
       (6) This title shall not affect the geothermal exploration 
     and development authority of the Secretary of the Navy under 
     section 2689 of title 10, United States Code, except that the 
     Secretary of the Navy shall obtain the concurrence of the 
     Secretary of the Interior before taking action under that 
     section with respect to the lands withdrawn under section 
     802(a).
       (7) Upon the expiration of the withdrawal made by 
     subsection (a) of section 802 or relinquishment of the lands 
     withdrawn by that subsection, Navy contracts for the 
     development of geothermal resources at China Lake then in 
     effect (including amendments or renewals by the Navy after 
     the date of enactment of this Act) shall remain in effect: 
     Provided, That the Secretary of the Interior, with the 
     consent of the Secretary of the Navy, may offer to substitute 
     a standard geothermal lease for any such contract.
       (h) Management of El Centro Ranges.--To the extent 
     consistent with this title, the lands and minerals within the 
     areas described in section 802(c) shall be managed in 
     accordance with the Cooperative Agreement entered into 
     between the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, 
     and the Department of the Navy, dated June 29, 1987.

     SEC. 805. DURATION OF WITHDRAWALS.

     of the Navy shall publish a draft environmental impact 
     statement concerning continued or

[[Page 1384]]

     renewed withdrawal of any portion of the lands withdrawn by 
     this title for which that Secretary intends to seek such 
     continued or renewed withdrawal. Such draft environmental 
     impact statement shall be consistent with the requirements of 
     the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 
     et seq.) applicable to such a draft environmental impact 
     statement. Prior to the termination date specified in 
     subsection (a), the Secretary of the Navy shall hold a public 
     hearing on any draft environmental impact statement published 
     pursuant to this subsection. Such hearing shall be held in 
     the State of California in order to receive public comments 
     on the alternatives and other matters included in such draft 
     environmental impact statement.

     made by this title, the Secretary of the Navy, to the extent 
     funds are made available, shall maintain a program of 
     decontamination of lands withdrawn by this title at least at 
     the level of decontamination activities performed on such 
     lands in fiscal year 1986.
       (b) Reports.--At the same time as the President transmits 
     to the Congress the President's proposed budget for the first 
     fiscal year beginning after the date of enactment of this Act

     Navy shall transmit to the Committees on Appropriations, 
     Armed Services, and Energy and Natural Resources of the 
     Senate and to the Committees on Appropriations, Armed 
     Services, and Natural Resources of the House of 
     Representatives a description of the decontamination efforts 
     undertaken during the previous fiscal year on such lands and 
     the decontamination activities proposed for such lands during 
     the next fiscal year including:
       (1) amounts appropriated and obligated or expended for 
     decontamination of such lands;
       (2) the methods used to decontaminate such lands;
       (3) amount and types of contaminants removed from such 
     lands;
       (4) estimated types and amounts of residual contamination 
     on such lands; and
       (5) an estimate of the costs for full decontamination of 
     such lands and the estimate of the time to complete such 
     decontamination.

     SEC. 807. REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWAL.

       (a) Notice and Filing.--(1) No later than three years prior 
     to the termination of the withdrawal and reservation 
     established by this title, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     advise the Secretary of the Interior as to whether or not the 
     Secretary of the Navy will have a continuing military need 
     for any of the lands withdrawn under section 802 after the 
     termination date of such withdrawal and reservation.
       (2) If the Secretary of the Navy concludes that there will 
     be a continuing military need for any of such lands after the 
     termination date, the Secretary shall file an application for 
     extension of the withdrawal and reservation of such needed 
     lands in accordance with the regulations and procedures of 
     the Department of the Interior applicable to the extension of 
     withdrawals of lands for military uses.
       (3) If, during the period of withdrawal and reservation, 
     the Secretary of the Navy decides to relinquish all or any of 
     the lands withdrawn and reserved by this title, the Secretary 
     shall file a notice of intention to relinquish with the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (b) Contamination.--(1) Before transmitting a notice of 
     intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a), the 
     Secretary of Defense, acting through the Department of Navy, 
     shall prepare a written determination concerning whether and 
     to what extent the lands that are to be relinquished are 
     contaminated with explosive, toxic, or other hazardous 
     materials.
       (2) A copy of such determination shall be transmitted with 
     the notice of intention to relinquish.
       (3) Copies of both the notice of intention to relinquish 
     and the determination concerning the contaminated state of 
     the lands shall be published in the Federal Register by the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (c) Decontamination.--If any land which is the subject of a 
     notice of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) 
     is contaminated, and the Secretary of the Interior, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, determines that 
     decontamination is practicable and economically feasible 
     (taking into consideration the potential future use and value 
     of the land) and that upon decontamination, the land could be 
     opened to operation of some or all of the public land laws, 
     including the mining laws, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     decontaminate the land to the extent that funds are 
     appropriated for such purpose.
       (d) Alternatives.--If the Secretary of the Interior, after 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, concludes that 
     decontamination of any land which is the subject of a notice 
     of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) is not 
     practicable or economically feasible, or that the land cannot 
     be decontaminated sufficiently to be opened to operation of 
     some or all of the public land laws, or if Congress does not 
     appropriate a sufficient amount of funds for the 
     decontamination of such land, the Secretary of the Interior 
     shall not be required to accept the land proposed for 
     relinquishment.
       (e) Status of Contaminated Lands.--If, because of their 
     contaminated state, the Secretary of the Interior declines to 
     accept jurisdiction over lands withdrawn by this title which 
     have been proposed for relinquishment, or if at the 
     expiration of the withdrawal made by this title the Secretary 
     of the Interior determines that some of the lands withdrawn 
     by this title are contaminated to an extent which prevents 
     opening such contaminated lands to operation of the public 
     land laws--
       (1) the Secretary of the Navy shall take appropriate steps 
     to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands 
     and any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
       (2) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary 
     of the Navy shall undertake no activities on such lands 
     except in connection with decontamination of such lands; and
       (3) the Secretary of the Navy shall report to the Secretary 
     of the Interior and to the Congress concerning the status of 
     such lands and all actions taken in furtherance of this 
     subsection.
       (f) Revocation Authority.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, the Secretary of the Interior, upon 
     deciding that it is in the public interest to accept 
     jurisdiction over lands proposed for relinquishment pursuant 
     to subsection (a), is authorized to revoke the withdrawal and 
     reservation established by this title as it applies to such 
     lands. Should the decision be made to revoke the withdrawal 
     and reservation, the Secretary of the Interior shall publish 
     in the Federal Register an appropriate order which shall--
       (1) terminate the withdrawal and reservation;
       (2) constitute official acceptance of full jurisdiction 
     over the lands by the Secretary of the Interior; and
       (3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to 
     the operation of some or all of 
     the public lands laws, including the mining laws.

                   TITLE X--PROTECTION OF BODIE BOWL

     SEC. 1001. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Bodie Protection Act of 
     1994''.

     SEC. 1002. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the historic Bodie gold mining district in the State of 
     California is the site of the largest and best preserved 
     authentic ghost town in the western United States;
       (2) the Bodie Bowl area contains important natural, 
     historical, and aesthetic resources;
       (3) Bodie was designated a National Historical Landmark in 
     1961 and a California State Historic Park in 1962, is listed 
     on the National Register of Historic Places, and is included 
     in the Federal Historic American Buildings Survey;
       (4) nearly 200,000 persons visit Bodie each year, providing 
     the local economy with important annual tourism revenues;
       (5) the town of Bodie is threatened by proposals to explore 
     and extract minerals: mining in the Bodie Bowl area may have 
     adverse physical and aesthetic impacts on Bodie's historical 
     integrity, cultural values, and ghosttown character as well 
     as on its recreational values and the area's flora and fauna;
       (6) the California State Legislature, on September 4, 1990, 
     requested the President and the Congress to direct the 
     Secretary of the Interior to protect the ghosttown character, 
     ambience, historic buildings, and scenic attributes of the 
     town of Bodie and nearby areas;
       (7) the California State Legislature also requested the 
     Secretary, if necessary to protect the Bodie Bowl area, to 
     withdraw the Federal lands within the area from all forms of 
     mineral entry and patent;
       (8) the National Park Service listed Bodie as a priority 
     one endangered National Historic Landmark in its fiscal year 
     1990 and 1991 report to Congress entitled ``Threatened and 
     Damaged National Historic Landmarks'' and recommended 
     protection of the Bodie area; and
       (9) it is necessary and appropriate to provide that all 
     Federal lands within the Bodie Bowl area are not subject to 
     location, entry, and patent under the mining laws of the 
     United States, subject to valid existing rights, and to 
     direct the Secretary to consult with the Governor of the 
     State of California before approving any mining activity plan 
     within the Bodie Bowl.

     SEC. 1003. DEFINITIONS.

     SEC. 1004. APPLICABILITY OF MINERAL MINING, LEASING AND 
                   DISPOSAL LAWS.

       (a) Restriction.--Subject to valid existing rights, after 
     the date of enactment of this title Federal lands and 
     interests in lands within the area generally depicted on the 
     map entitled ``Bodie Bowl'' and dated June 12, 1992, shall 
     not be--
       (1) open to the entry or location of mining and mill site 
     claims under the general mining laws of the United States;
       (2) subject to any lease under the Mineral Leasing Act (30 
     U.S.C. 181 and following) or the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 
     (30 U.S.C. 100 and following), for lands within the Bodie 
     Bowl; and
       (3) available for disposal of mineral materials under the 
     Act of July 31, 1947, com- 
     monly known as the Materials Act of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 601 and 
     following).
     Such map shall be on file and available for public inspection 
     in the Office of the Secretary, and appropriate offices of 
     the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service. 
     As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of this 
     title, the Secretary shall publish a legal description of the 
     Bodie Bowl area in the Federal Register.
       (b) Valid Existing Rights.--As used in this subsection, the 
     term ``valid existing rights'' in reference to the general 
     mining laws means that a mining claim located on lands within 
     the Bodie Bowl was properly located and maintained under the 
     general mining laws prior to the date of enactment of this 
     title, was supported by a discovery of a valuable mineral 
     deposit within the meaning of the general mining laws on the 
     date of enactment of this title, and that such claim 
     continues to be valid.
       (c) Validity Review.--The Secretary shall undertake an 
     expedited program to determine the validity of all unpatented 
     mining claims located within the Bodie Bowl. The expedited 
     program shall include an examination of all unpatented mining 
     claims, including those for which a patent application has 
     not been filed. If a claim is determined to be invalid, the 
     Secretary shall promptly declare the claim to be null and 
     void, except that the Secretary shall not challenge the 
     validity of any claim located within the Bodie Bowl for the 
     failure to do assessment work for any period after the date 
     of enactment of this title. The Secretary shall make a 
     determination with respect to the validity of each claim 
     referred to under this subsection within 2 years after the 
     date of enactment of this title.
       (d) Limitation on Patent Issuance.--
       (1) Mining claims.--(A) After January 11, 1993, no patent 
     shall be issued by the United States for any mining claim 
     located under the general mining laws within the Bodie Bowl 
     unless the Secretary determines that, for the claim 
     concerned--
       (i) a patent application was filed with the Secretary on or 
     before such date; and
       (ii) all requirements established under sections 2325 and 
     2326 of the Revised Statutes (30 U.S.C. 29 and 30) for vein 
     or lode claims and sections 2329, 2330, 2331, and 2333 of the 
     Revised Statutes (30 U.S.C. 35, 36, 37) for placer claims 
     were fully complied with by that date.
       (B) If the Secretary makes the determinations referred to 
     in subparagraph (A) for any mining claim, the holder of the 
     claim shall be entitled to the issuance of a patent in the 
     same manner and degree to which such claim holder would have 
     been entitled to prior to the enactment of this title, unless 
     and until such determinations are withdrawn or invalidated by 
     the Secretary or by a court of the United States.
       (2) Mill site claims.--(A) After January 11, 1993, no 
     patent shall be issued by the United States for any mill site 
     claim located under the general mining laws within the Bodie 
     Bowl unless the Secretary determines that, for the claim 
     concerned--
       (i) a patent application was filed with the Secretary on or 
     before January 11, 1993; and
       (ii) all requirements applicable to such patent application 
     were fully complied with by that date.
       (B) If the Secretary makes the determinations referred to 
     in subparagraph (A) for any mill site claim, the holder of 
     the claim shall be entitled to the issuance of a patent in 
     the same manner and degree to which such claim holder would 
     have been entitled to prior to the enactment of this title, 
     unless and until such determinations are withdrawn or 
     invalidated by the Secretary or by a court of the United 
     States.

     SEC. 1005. MINERAL ACTIVITIES.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding the last sentence of 
     section 302(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
     of 1976, and in accordance with this title and other 
     applicable law, the Secretary shall require that mineral 
     activities be conducted in the Bodie Bowl so as to--
       (1) avoid adverse effects on the historic, cultural, 
     recreational and natural resource values of the Bodie Bowl; 
     and
       (2) minimize other adverse impacts to the environment.
       (b) Restoration of Effects of Mining Exploration.--As soon 
     as possible after the date of enactment of this title, 
     visible evidence or other effects of mining exploration 
     activity within the Bodie Bowl conducted on or after 
     September 1, 1988, shall be reclaimed by the operator in 
     accordance with regulations prescribed pursuant to subsection 
     (d).
       (c) Annual Expenditures; Filing.--The requirements for 
     annual expenditures on unpatented mining claims imposed by 
     Revised Statute 2324 (30 U.S.C. 28) shall not apply to any 
     such claim located within the Bodie Bowl. In lieu of filing 
     the affidavit of assessment work referred to under section 
     314(a)(1) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 
     1976 (43 U.S.C. 1744(a)(1)), the holder of any unpatented 
     mining or mill site claim located within the Bodie Bowl shall 
     only be required to file the notice of intention to hold the 
     mining claim referred to in such section 314(a)(1).
       (d) Regulations.--The Secretary shall promulgate rules to 
     implement this section, in consultation with the Governor of 
     the State of California, within 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this title. Such rules shall be no less 
     stringent than the rules promulgated pursuant to the Act of 
     September 28, 1976 entitled ``An Act to provide for the 
     regulation of mining activity within, and to repeal the 
     application of mining laws to, areas of the National Park 
     System, and for other purposes'' (Public Law 94-429; 16 
     U.S.C. 1901-1912).

     SEC. 1006. STUDY.

       Beginning as soon as possible after the date of enactment 
     of this title, the Secretary of the Interior shall review 
     possible actions to preserve the scenic character, historical 
     integrity, cultural and recreational values, flora and fauna, 
     and ghost town characteristics of lands and structures within 
     the Bodie Bowl. No later than 3 years after the date of such 
     enactment, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on 
     Natural Resources of the United States House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources of the United States Senate a report that discusses 
     the results of such review and makes recommendations as to 
     which steps (including but not limited to acquisition of 
     lands or valid mining claims) should be undertaken in order 
     to achieve these objectives.

  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read a third time by title.

  So the amendments en bloc were not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, assumed the Chair.
  When Mrs. SCHROEDER, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 491, 
reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the 
Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Radon Awareness and 
     Disclosure Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that 
     radon is second only to smoking as the leading cause of lung 
     cancer, resulting in an estimated 7,000 to 30,000 deaths each 
     year.
       (2) Testing for elevated levels of radon is relatively 
     simple and inexpensive.
       (3) There is not an adequate effort by Federal agencies to 
     encourage testing for radon.
       (4) Efforts to encourage testing have had limited results, 
     reaching only a small percentage of homes to date.
       (5) The lack of a mandatory certification process leads to 
     inaccurate radon testing, ineffective radon mitigation, 
     erosion of public confidence in the industry, and a waste of 
     consumer investment.
       (6) Increased public awareness of the dangers of radon gas 
     and the means to mitigate its effects will lead to more 
     informed decision making and a more productive use of 
     resources.

     SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

       Section 302 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 
     2662) is amended by adding the following at the end thereof:
       ``(5) The term `vulnerable premises' means any frequently 
     occupied space below the third floor of any building (other 
     than a building used for industrial purposes).
       ``(6) The term `high radon area' means any county 
     designated by the Administrator as having a predicted average 
     indoor screening level for radon greater than 4 pCi/L, using 
     the methodology described by the Environmental Protection 
     Agency in the report entitled `Map of Radon Zones: National 
     Report (December 3, 1993)', including any amendments or 
     revisions thereto.''.

     SEC. 4. NEW CONSTRUCTION.

       Section 304 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 
     2664) is amended as follows:
       (1) By striking the section heading thereof and inserting 
     ``new construction.''.
       (2) By inserting ``(a) Model Standards and Techniques.--'' 
     before the first sentence and striking the last 2 sentences.
       (3) By adding the following at the end:
       ``(b) Finalization of Model Standards.--Not later than 3 
     months after enactment of this subsection, the Administrator 
     shall promulgate model construction standards for controlling 
     radon levels in new vulnerable premises which are located in 
     high radon areas and which are covered by the model standards 
     published by the Administrator on March 21, 1994 (59 Fed. 
     Reg. 13402). Not later than 2 years after the enactment of 
     this subsection, the Administrator shall promulgate model 
     construction standards for controlling radon levels in new 
     vulnerable premises which are located in high radon areas and 
     which are not covered by such proposed model standards. The 
     model standards shall achieve significant radon risk 
     reduction and be technologically achievable and readily 
     implementable. The Administrator may, where appropriate, 
     promulgate model standards for controlling radon levels in 
     new vulnerable premises in other areas designated by the 
     Administrator.
       ``(c) Promotion of Code and State Adoption.--(1) The 
     Administrator shall work to ensure that organizations 
     responsible for developing national model codes for new 
     vulnerable premises adopt, and State and local authorities 
     which regulate construction of new vulnerable premises adopt 
     and enforce, the model construction standards promulgated 
     under subsection (b).
       ``(2) If the Administrator determines that an organization 
     responsible for developing national model codes for new 
     vulnerable premises has adopted standards for controlling 
     radon levels in new vulnerable premises that are at least as 
     protective of human health and the environment as the model 
     construction standards promulgated under subsection (b), such 
     standards shall be certified as equivalent to the model 
     construction standards promulgated under subsection (b).
       ``(3) At the same time that the Administrator promulgates 
     model construction standards under subsection (b), the 
     Administrator shall publish a pamphlet that describes the 
     standards and their costs and benefits. The Administrator 
     shall work with interested parties to achieve the broad 
     distribution of the pamphlet. Such distribution may be 
     coordinated with the distribution of the pamphlet distributed 
     under section 310.
       ``(d) Incentive for Voluntary Compliance.--(1) In addition 
     to the disclosure requirements of section 310, the following 
     disclosure requirements shall apply to sales of new buildings 
     (or any portion thereof) with vulnerable premises in high 
     radon areas, or other designated areas, covered by model 
     construction standards promulgated under subsection (b):
       ``(A) Any person who sells such a new vulnerable premises 
     shall, prior to the signing of a sales contract--
       ``(i) provide the purchaser with the pamphlet on radon 
     prevention in construction published under paragraph (3) of 
     subsection (c),
       ``(ii) inform the purchaser in writing that the premises 
     are located in a high radon area (or other area designated 
     under subsection (b)) and that the Administrator recommends 
     that such premises be constructed in compliance with the 
     model construction standards promulgated under subsection (b) 
     or other construction standards certified as equivalent to 
     such standards under subsection (c)(2), and
       ``(iii) accurately disclose in writing to the purchaser 
     whether the premises have been, or will be, constructed in 
     compliance with such model construction standards or other 
     construction standards certified as equivalent to such 
     standards under subsection (c)(2).
       ``(B) The radon warning statement under section 310 
     included in any contract for purchase and sale of any such 
     new vulnerable premises shall include an acknowledgement 
     signed by the purchaser that the purchaser has--
       ``(i) received the pamphlet on radon prevention in 
     construction published under paragraph (3) of subsection (c),
       ``(ii) been informed in writing that the premises are 
     located in a high radon area (or other area designated under 
     subsection (b)) and that the Administrator recommends that 
     such premises be constructed in compliance with the model 
     construction standards promulgated under subsection (b) or 
     other construction standards certified as equivalent to such 
     standards under subsection (c)(2), and
       ``(iii) received a written disclosure indicating whether 
     the premises has been, or will be, constructed in compliance 
     with such model construction standards or other construction 
     standards certified as equivalent to such standards under 
     subsection (c)(2).
       ``(2) If the Administrator determines that a State or local 
     authority which regulates construction of new vulnerable 
     premises in a high radon area (or other area designated under 
     subsection (b)) has adopted and is enforcing in such area 
     either the model construction standards promulgated under 
     subsection (b) or other standards for controlling radon 
     levels in new vulnerable premises that are at least as 
     protective of human health and the environment as such model 
     standards, any person who constructs a new vulnerable 
     premises in such area after such determination shall be 
     exempt from the disclosure requirements of paragraph (1). Any 
     State or local authority may submit to the Administrator 
     State or local standards for controlling radon levels in new 
     vulnerable premises. The Administrator shall determine within 
     60 days after the date of such submission whether such 
     standards are as protective of human health and the 
     environment as the model standards.
       ``(3) The requirements of this subsection shall take effect 
     on the later of (A) the date 31 months after promulgation of 
     the model construction standards under subsection (b) 
     covering the new vulnerable premises concerned, or (B) the 
     effective date of the requirements under section 310. Six 
     months before the requirements of this subsection take effect 
     in a high radon area (or other area designated under 
     subsection (b)), the Administrator shall provide notice of 
     such requirements to the State in which such area is located.
       ``(4) Not later than 1 year prior to the effective date 
     established in paragraph (3), the Administrator shall, after 
     notice and opportunity for comment, publish a list of the 
     areas to which the model construction standards concerned are 
     applicable, together with a map of all such areas.
       ``(5) A violation of this subsection shall be considered a 
     violation of section 310.
       ``(e) Report to Congress.--Not later than 5 years after the 
     date of enactment of this subsection, the Administrator shall 
     report to Congress on the extent to which State and

[[Page 1392]]

     local authorities which regulate construction of new 
     vulnerable premises have adopted and are enforcing the model 
     construction standards promulgated under subsection (b), and 
     new vulnerable premises are being constructed in compliance 
     with such standards. Such report shall contain a list of 
     State and local authorities in areas covered by model 
     standards which have adopted and are enforcing such standards 
     and a list of those which have not adopted or are not 
     enforcing such standards. Such report shall identify any 
     obstacles that may exist to--
       ``(1) adoption and enforcement by such State and local 
     authorities of such model construction standards, and
       ``(2) construction in compliance with such model 
     construction standards,
     and shall make recommendations for overcoming such obstacles.
       ``(f) Guidance for Certain Premises.--Not later than 2 
     years after the enactment of this subsection, the 
     Administrator shall promulgate guidance for measuring and 
     mitigating radon levels in existing vulnerable premises not 
     covered by the proposed model standards published by the 
     Administrator on April 12, 1993 (58 Fed. Reg. 19097).
       ``(g) Other Disclosure Requirements.--The Administrator may 
     consolidate the requirements applicable under this section 
     with the disclosure requirements applicable under other 
     authority of law.
       ``(h) Validity of Contracts and Liens.--Nothing in this 
     section shall affect the validity or enforceability of any 
     sale or contract for the purchase and sale or lease of any 
     interest in real property or any loan, loan agreement, 
     mortgage, or lien made or arising in connection with a 
     mortgage loan, nor shall anything in this section create a 
     defect in title.''.

     SEC. 5. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 306 OF TSCA.

       Section 306 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 
     2666) is amended as follows:
       (1) In subsection (e), by striking ``In the event that 
     State applications for funds exceed the total funds available 
     in a fiscal year, the'' and inserting ``The''.
       (2) By amending subsection (e) to add the following new 
     paragraph at the end thereof:
       ``(5) The potential for the activity or project to advance 
     the strategy developed under section 316 (relating to 
     strategy to identify and reduce exceptionally high indoor 
     radon levels).''.
       (3) In subsection (f), strike ``in the third year'' and 
     insert ``thereafter''.
       (4) In subsection (g) by inserting ``(1)'' before the first 
     sentence thereof and by adding the following at the end 
     thereof:
       ``(2) The Administrator may set aside a percentage of the 
     grants made to States under this section to be paid by such 
     States to local governments in high radon areas. Such amounts 
     shall be used for eligible activities under subsection (c). 
     In the case of any State not receiving a grant under this 
     section, the Administrator may make grants directly to local 
     governments in such State for such purposes. Subsection (f) 
     shall not apply to any grant to a local government described 
     in the preceding sentence or to any portion of a grant to a 
     State under this section which is paid to a local government 
     as provided in this paragraph.''.

     SEC. 6. PERFORMANCE PROGRAM FOR RADON PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

       Section 309 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C 
     2669) is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 309. PERFORMANCE AND PROFICIENCY PROGRAM FOR RADON 
                   PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

       ``(a) Performance and Proficiency Program.--(1) Within one

  So the amendment was not agreed to.
  After some further time,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MURTHA, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. HASTINGS, Acting Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 492, 
reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the 
Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``National Park Service 
     Concessions Policy Reform Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

       (a) Findings.--In furtherance of the Act of August 25, 1916 
     (39 Stat. 535), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1, 2-4), which directs 
     the Secretary of the Interior to administer areas of the 
     National Park System in accordance with the fundamental 
     purpose of conserving their scenery, wildlife, natural and 
     historic objects, and providing for their enjoyment in a 
     manner that will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of 
     future generations, the Congress finds that the preservation 
     and conservation of park resources and values requires that 
     such public accommodations, facilities, and services within 
     such areas as the Secretary, in accordance with this Act, 
     determines necessary and appropriate--
       (1) should be provided only under carefully controlled 
     safeguards against unregulated and indiscriminate use so that 
     visitation will not unduly impair park resources and values; 
     and
       (2) should be limited to locations and designs consistent 
     to the highest practicable degree with the preservation and 
     conservation of park resources and values.
       (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the Congress that--
       (1) development on Federal lands within a park shall be 
     limited to those facilities that the Secretary determines are 
     necessary and appropriate for public use and enjoyment of the 
     park in which such facilities and services are located;
       (2) development within a park should be consistent to the 
     highest practicable degree with the preservation and 
     conservation of the park's resources and values;
       (3) park facilities and services the Secretary determines 
     suitable to be provided by parties other than the Secretary 
     should be provided by private persons, corporations, or other 
     entities, except when no private interest is qualified and 
     willing to provide such facilities and services;
       (4) if the Secretary determines that development should 
     occur within a park, such development shall be designed, 
     located, and operated in a manner that is consistent with the 
     purposes for which such park was established;
       (5) the right to provide such services and to develop or 
     utilize facilities should be awarded to the person, 
     corporation, or entity submitting the best proposal through a 
     competitive selection process;
       (6) such facilities or services should be provided to the 
     public at reasonable rates; and

[[Page 1397]]

       (7) if adequate facilities to serve the needs of park 
     visitors exist outside a park's boundaries or can feasibly be 
     developed outside such boundaries by private enterprise, such 
     facilities should not be developed or expanded within the 
     park.

     SEC. 4. REPEAL OF CONCESSIONS POLICY ACT OF 1965.

       The Act of October 9, 1965, Public Law 89-249 (79 Stat. 
     969, 16 U.S.C. 20-20g), entitled ``An Act relating to the 
     establishment of concession policies in the areas 
     administered by National Park Service and for other 
     purposes'', is hereby repealed. The repeal of such Act shall 
     not affect the validity of any contract entered into under 
     such Act, but the provisions of this Act shall apply to any 
     such contract except to the extent such provisions are 
     inconsistent with the express terms and conditions of the 
     contract. Nothing in this Act that is inconsistent with a 
     prospectus issued before April 1, 1994, shall apply to the 
     contract with respect to which such prospectus was issued. 
     The Secretary is authorized to award a concession contract 
     prior to promulgation of new regulations to implement this 
     Act if the Secretary determines that protection of public 
     health and safety warrant such action, provided that such 
     contract is consistent with this Act.

     SEC. 5. CONCESSION CONTRACTS AND OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS.

       (a) Concessions.--(1) Subject to the findings and policy 
     stated in section 2 of this Act and the provisions of this 
     section, the Secretary may award concession contracts that 
     authorize private persons, corporations, or other entities to 
     provide services to park visitors and to utilize facilities 
     if the Secretary determines that such award is the 
     appropriate means for such authorization.
       (2) Concession contracts shall be awarded only to the 
     extent that the Secretary finds that the services to be 
     provided and the facilities to be utilized pursuant to each 
     such contract are necessary and appropriate for the 
     accommodation of visitors to a park.
       (3) The provision of services and the utilization of 
     facilities pursuant to concession contracts shall be 
     consistent with all applicable requirements of law, including 
     laws relating generally to the administration and management 
     of units of the National Park Service, and with the general 
     management plan, concessions plan, and other relevant plans 
     developed by the Secretary for the relevant park.
       (b) Other Authorizations.--(1) To the extent specified in 
     this subsection, the Secretary, upon request, may authorize a 
     private person, corporation, or other entity to provide 
     services to park visitors otherwise than by award of a 
     concession contract.
       (2)(A) The authority of this subsection may be used only to 
     authorize provision of services to park visitors that the 
     Secretary determines have minimal impact on park resources 
     and values and will be consistent with the purposes for which 
     the relevant park was established and with all applicable 
     management plans for such park.
       (B) The Secretary--
       (i) shall require payment of a reasonable fee for issuance 
     of an authorization under this subsection;
       (ii) shall require that the provision of services under 
     such an authorization be accomplished in a manner consistent 
     to the highest practicable degree with the preservation and 
     conservation of park resources and values;
       (iii) shall take appropriate steps to limit the liability 
     of the United States arising from the provision of services 
     under such an authorization; and
       (iv) shall have no authority under this subsection to issue 
     more authorizations than are consistent with the preservation 
     and proper management of park resources and values, and shall 
     establish such other conditions for issuance of such an 
     authorization as the Secretary determines appropriate for 
     protection of visitors, provision of adequate and appropriate 
     visitor services, and protection and proper management of the 
     resources and values of the National Park System.
       (3) An entity seeking or obtaining an authorization 
     pursuant to this subsection shall not be precluded from also 
     submitting proposals for concession contracts.

     SEC. 6. COMPETITIVE SELECTION PROCESS.

       (a) In General.--(1) Except as provided in subsection (b), 
     and consistent with the provisions of subsection (g), any 
     concession contract entered into pursuant to this Act shall 
     be awarded to the person submitting the best proposal, as 
     determined by the Secretary through the competitive selection 
     process specified in this section.
       (2) Within 180 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary shall promulgate appropriate regulations 
     establishing a process to implement this section. The 
     regulations shall include provisions for establishing a 
     method or procedure for the resolution of disputes between 
     the Secretary and a concessioner in those instances where the 
     Secretary has been unable to meet conditions or requirements 
     or provide such services, if any, as set forth in a 
     prospectus pursuant to sections 6(c)(2) (D) and (E).
       (b) Temporary Contract.--Notwithstanding the provisions of 
     subsection (a), the Secretary may award on a noncompetitive 
     basis a temporary concession contract if the Secretary 
     determines such an award to be necessary in order to avoid 
     interruption of services to the public at a park. Prior to 
     making such a determination, the Secretary shall take all 
     reasonable and appropriate steps to consider alternative 
     actions to avoid such interruptions.
       (c) Prospectus.--(1) Prior to soliciting proposals for a 
     concession contract at a park, the Secretary shall prepare a 
     prospectus soliciting proposals, shall publish a notice of 
     its availability at least once in such local or national 
     newspapers or trade publications as the Secretary determines 
     appropriate, and shall make such prospectus available upon 
     request to all interested parties.
       (2) The prospectus shall include, but need not be limited 
     to, the following information:
       (A) The minimum requirements for such contract, as set 
     forth in subsection (d).
       (B) The terms and conditions of the existing concession 
     contract awarded for such park, if any, including all fees 
     and other forms of compensation provided to the United States 
     by the concessioner, and all information available to the 
     Secretary with regard to the wages, hours, and conditions of 
     employment of the workforce engaged by the concessioner to 
     fulfill the requirements of such existing concession 
     contract.
       (C) Other authorized facilities or services which may be 
     included in a proposal.
       (D) Facilities and services to be provided by the Secretary 
     to the concessioner, if any, including but not limited to, 
     public access, utilities, and buildings.
       (E) The services to park visitors intended to be offered 
     within a park by the Secretary, including but not limited to, 
     interpretive programs, campsites, and visitor centers.
       (F) Such other information related to the proposed 
     concessions operation which is not privileged or otherwise 
     exempt from disclosure under Federal law as the Secretary 
     determines is necessary to allow for the submission of 
     competitive proposals.
       (d) Minimum Proposal Requirements.--(1) No proposal shall 
     be considered which fails to meet the minimum requirements 
     included in the relevant prospectus. Such minimum 
     requirements shall include payment to the United States of a 
     franchise fee and shall also include, but need not be limited 
     to, the following:
       (A) The minimum acceptable franchise fee, fees for use of 
     any Federal buildings or other facilities, and any other fees 
     to be paid to the United States.
       (B) The duration of the contract.
       (C) Any facilities, services, or capital investments 
     required to be provided by the concessioner.
       (D) Measures that will be required in order to ensure the 
     protection and preservation of park resources and values.
       (2) The Secretary may reject any proposal, notwithstanding 
     the amount of franchise fee offered, if the Secretary 
     determines that the person, corporation, or entity making 
     such proposal is not qualified, is likely to provide 
     unsatisfactory service, or that the proposal is not 
     sufficiently responsive to the objectives of protecting and 
     preserving park resources and of providing necessary and 
     appropriate facilities or services to the public at 
     reasonable rates.
       (3) If all proposals submitted to the Secretary either fail 
     to meet the minimum requirements or are rejected by the 
     Secretary, the Secretary shall establish new minimum contract 
     requirements and re-initiate the competitive selection 
     process pursuant to this section.
       (e) Selection of Best Proposal.--(1) In selecting the best 
     proposal, the Secretary shall consider the following 
     principal factors:
       (A) The responsiveness of the proposal to the objectives of 
     protecting and preserving park resources and of providing 
     necessary and appropriate facilities and services to the 
     public at reasonable rates.
       (B) The experience, expertise, and related background of 
     the person, corporation, or other entity submitting the 
     proposal, including whether the submitter is the holder of a 
     previous concession contract for similar services at the same 
     park and has established a record of outstanding performance 
     in executing that contract, the submitter's history of 
     satisfactory performance under any other concession contract, 
     and the submitter's compliance with applicable labor law and 
     existing standards regarding wages, hours, and conditions of 
     employment and provision of a safe and healthful workplace in 
     connection with any concession contract.

[[Page 1398]]

       (C) The financial capability of the person, corporation, or 
     entity submitting the proposal.
       (D) The proposed franchise fee: Provided, That 
     consideration of revenue to the United States shall be 
     subordinate to the objectives of protecting and preserving 
     park resources including cultural resources, and of providing 
     necessary and appropriate facilities or services to the 
     public at reasonable rates.
       (E) Giving preference to American concessioners.
       (2) The Secretary may also consider such secondary factors 
     as the Secretary deems appropriate. In developing regulations 
     to implement this Act, the Secretary shall consider the 
     extent to which plans for employment of Indians (including 
     Native Alaskans) and involvement of businesses owned by 
     Indians, Indian tribes, or Native Alaskans in the operation 
     of concession contracts should be identified as a factor in 
     the selection of a best offer under this section.
       (f) Congressional Notification.--(1) The Secretary shall 
     submit any proposed concession contract with anticipated 
     annual gross receipts in excess of $1,000,000 (indexed to 
     1993 constant dollars) or a duration in excess of ten years 
     to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the 
     United States Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources 
     of the United States House of Representatives.
       (2) The Secretary shall not award any such proposed 
     contract until at least 60 days subsequent to the submission 
     thereof to both Committees.
       (g) No Preferential Right of Renewal.--(1) Except as 
     provided in paragraph (2), the Secretary shall not grant a 
     preferential right to a concessioner to renew a concession 
     contract executed pursuant to this Act.
       (2)(A)(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), 
     the Secretary shall include a preferential right of renewal 
     in a concession contract covered by this paragraph, but 
     exercise of such right shall be subject to the requirements 
     of this paragraph.
       (ii) As used in this paragraph, the term ``preferential 
     right of renewal'' means a provision in a concession contract 
     allowing a concessioner satisfying the requirements of this 
     paragraph to have the opportunity to match the terms and 
     conditions of any competing proposal which the Secretary 
     determines to be the best offer for a new concession contract 
     for provision of the same services as were authorized by the 
     concession contract that included the preferential right of 
     renewal.
       (B) The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only to 
     concession contracts which the Secretary estimates will 
     result in annual gross receipts of no more than $500,000 in 
     any year during the term of the contract.
       (C) A preferential right of renewal may be exercised by a 
     concessioner only when such right is included in a concession 
     contract and only where the Secretary has determined both--
       (i) that the concessioner has operated satisfactorily 
     during the term of such contract, and
       (ii) that the concessioner has submitted a responsive 
     proposal for a new contract which satisfies the minimum 
     requirements established by the Secretary pursuant to section 
     6 of this Act.
       (D) A concessioner who exercises a preferential right of 
     renewal in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph 
     shall be entitled to award of the new concession contract 
     with respect to which such right is exercised.
       (h) No Preferential Right to Additional Services.--The 
     Secretary shall not grant a preferential right to a 
     concessioner to provide new or additional services at a park, 
     but may agree to changes in concession contracts that would 
     allow the holders thereof to provide services incidental to 
     or closely related to the services authorized by such 
     contracts, if the Secretary determines that such changes 
     would enhance the safety or enjoyment of park visitors or the 
     protection of park resources and values and would not unduly 
     restrict competition for award of concession contracts.

     SEC. 7. FRANCHISE FEES.

       Franchise fees, however stated, shall not be less than the 
     minimum franchise fee established by the Secretary for each 
     contract. The minimum franchise fee shall be determined in a 
     manner that will provide the concessioner with a reasonable 
     opportunity to realize a profit on the operation as a whole, 
     commensurate with the capital invested and the obligations 
     assumed.

     SEC. 8. USE OF FRANCHISE FEES.

       (a) Special Account.--Except as provided in subsection (b), 
     all receipts including fees for use of federally-owned 
     buildings or other facilities collected pursuant to this Act 
     shall be covered into a special account established in the 
     Treasury of the United States. Amounts covered into such 
     account in a fiscal year shall be available for expenditure, 
     subject to appropriation, solely as follows:
       (1) 50 percent shall be allocated among the units of the 
     National Park System in the same proportion as franchise fees 
     collected from a specific unit bears to the total amount 
     covered into the account for each fiscal year, to be used for 
     resource management and protection, maintenance activities, 
     interpretation, and research.
       (2) 50 percent shall be allocated among the units of the 
     National Park System on the basis of need, in a manner to be 
     determined by the Secretary, to be used for resource 
     management and protection, maintenance activities, 
     interpretation, and research.
       (b) Park Improvement Funds.--(1) The Secretary shall, where 
     the Secretary determines it to be desirable, establish a Park 
     Improvement Fund (hereinafter in this section referred to as 
     the ``fund''), in which, for each fiscal year after fiscal 
     year 1994, the Secretary may deposit some or all of the 
     receipts collected from concessioners to the extent that such 
     receipts exceed the amounts specified in the following table:

``Fiscal year:                                                   Amount
  1995.....................................................$22,600,000 
  1996.....................................................$25,500,000 
  1997.....................................................$27,500,000 
  1998.....................................................$30,900,000 
  After 1998.............................................$35,700,000''.
       (2) The Secretary shall maintain the fund separately from 
     any other funds or accounts and shall not commingle the 
     monies in the fund with any other monies. The Secretary may 
     establish such other terms, conditions, or requirements as 
     the Secretary determines to be necessary to ensure the 
     financial integrity of such fund.
       (3)(A) Monies from the fund shall be expended solely for 
     activities and projects within the park which are consistent 
     with the park's general management plan, concessions plan, 
     and other applicable plans, and which the Secretary 
     determines will enhance public use, safety, and enjoyment of 
     the park, including but not limited to projects which 
     directly or indirectly support concession facilities or 
     services required by the concession contract, but no 
     expenditure from the fund shall have the effect of creating 
     or increasing any compensable interest of any concessioner in 
     any such facilities. A concessioner shall not be allowed to 
     make any advances or credits to the fund.
       (B) To the extent consistent with the need to respond to 
     urgent requirements and with priorities established as part 
     of a park's general management plan or concessions management 
     plan, the Secretary shall direct that monies from the fund be 
     utilized in coordination with funds provided by other 
     sources, including donations from the National Park 
     Foundation or other groups associated with one or more units 
     of the National Park System.
       (4) A concessioner shall not be granted any interest in 
     improvements made from fund expenditures, including any 
     interest granted pursuant to section 11(b) of this Act.
       (5) Nothing in this subsection shall affect the obligation 
     of a concessioner to insure, maintain, and repair any 
     structure, fixture, or improvement assigned to such 
     concessioner and to insure that such structure, fixture, or 
     improvement fully complies with applicable safety and health 
     laws and regulations.
       (6) The Secretary shall maintain proper records for all 
     expenditures made from the fund. Such records shall include, 
     but not be limited to invoices, bank statements, canceled 
     checks, and such other information as the Secretary may 
     require.
       (7) A fund established pursuant to this subsection may not 
     be used for any capital expenditure exceeding $2,500,000 in 
     any fiscal year unless such expenditure from a fund has been 
     authorized in advance by Act of Congress. The Secretary shall 
     annually inform the Congress concerning the actual and 
     projected use of moneys in each fund established pursuant to 
     this subsection.

     SEC. 9. DURATION OF CONTRACT.

       (a) Maximum Term.--A concession contract entered into 
     pursuant to this Act shall be awarded for a term not to 
     exceed ten years: Provided, however, That the Secretary may 
     award a contract for a term not to exceed twenty years if the 
     Secretary determines that a longer term is a necessary 
     component of the overall contract in order to reduce the 
     costs to the United States of acquiring possessory interests 
     or to carry out the policies of this Act and other laws 
     applicable to the National Park System.
       (b) Temporary Contract.--A temporary concession contract 
     awarded on a non-competitive basis pursuant to section 6(b) 
     of this Act shall be for a term not to exceed two years.

     SEC. 10. TRANSFER OF CONTRACT.

       (a) In General.--(1) No concession contract may be 
     transferred, assigned, sold, or otherwise conveyed by a 
     concessioner without prior written notification to, and 
     approval of the Secretary.
       (2) The Secretary shall not unreasonably withhold approval 
     of a transfer, assignment, sale, or conveyance of a 
     concession contract, but shall not approve the transfer of a 
     concession contract to any individual, corporation or other 
     entity if the Secretary determines that--
       (A) such individual, corporation or entity is, or is likely 
     to be, unable to completely satisfy all of the requirements, 
     terms, and conditions of the contract;
       (B) such transfer, assignment, sale or conveyance is not 
     consistent with the objectives of protecting and preserving 
     park resources, and of providing necessary and appropriate 
     facilities or services to the public at reasonable rates; or
       (C) the terms of the transfer, assignment, sale, or 
     conveyance directly or indirectly attribute a significant 
     value to intangible assets or otherwise may so reduce the 
     opportunity for a reasonable profit over the remaining term 
     of the contract that the United States would be required to 
     make substantial additional expenditures in order to avoid 
     interruption of services to park visitors.
       (b) Congressional Notification.--Within thirty days after 
     receiving a request to approve a transfer, assignment, sale, 
     or other

[[Page 1399]]

     conveyance of a concession contract, the Secretary shall 
     notify the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the 
     United States Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources 
     of the United States House of Representatives of such 
     proposal. Approval of such proposal, if granted by the 
     Secretary, shall not take effect until sixty days after the 
     date of notification of both Committees.

     SEC. 11. PROTECTION OF CONCESSIONER INVESTMENT.

       (a) Existing Structures.--(1) A concessioner who, pursuant 
     to a concession contract, before the date of enactment of 
     this Act acquired or constructed, or as of such date was 
     required by such a contract to commence acquisition or 
     construction, of any structure, fixture, or improvement upon 
     land owned by the United States within a park, shall have a 
     possessory interest therein, to the extent provided by such 
     contract, the value of such possessory interest to be 
     determined for all purposes on the basis of applicable laws 
     and contracts in effect on the day before such date of 
     enactment.
       (2) The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to a 
     concessioner whose contract in effect on the date of 
     enactment of this Act does not include recognition of a 
     possessory interest.
       (3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), with respect 
     to a concession contract entered into on or after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the provisions of subsection (b) shall 
     apply to any existing structure, fixture, or improvement as 
     defined in paragraph (1), except that the value of the 
     possessory interest as of the termination date of the first 
     contract expiring after the date of enactment of this Act 
     shall be used as the basis for depreciation, in lieu of the 
     actual original cost of such structure, fixture, or 
     improvement.
       (B)(i) If the Secretary determines during the competitive 
     selection process that all proposals submitted either fail to 
     meet the minimum requirements or are rejected (as provided in 
     section 6), the Secretary may, solely with respect to a 
     structure, fixture, or improvement covered under this 
     paragraph, suspend the depreciation provisions of subsection 
     (b)(1) for the duration of the contract: Provided, That the 
     Secretary may suspend such depreciation provisions only if 
     the Secretary determines that the establishment of other new 
     minimum contract requirements is not likely to result in the 
     submission of satisfactory proposals, and that the suspension 
     of the depreciation provisions is likely to result in the 
     submission of satisfactory proposals.
       (ii) If the Secretary suspends the depreciation provisions 
     of subsection (b)(1) pursuant to this subparagraph, the 
     Secretary may include in the relevant concession contract, as 
     an obligation of the United States, a compensatory interest 
     in any structure, fixture, or improvement with respect to 
     which such depreciation provisions were suspended in an 
     amount not to exceed the fair market value of such structure, 
     fixture, or improvement.
       (b) New Structures.--(1) On or after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, a concessioner who constructs or acquires a new, 
     additional, or replacement structure, fixture, or improvement 
     upon land owned by the United States within a park, pursuant 
     to a concession contract, shall have an interest in such 
     structure, fixture, or improvement equivalent to the actual 
     original cost of acquiring or constructing such structure, 
     fixture, or improvement, less straight line depreciation over 
     the estimated useful life of the asset according to Generally 
     Accepted Accounting Principles: Provided, That in no event 
     shall the estimated useful life of such asset exceed the 
     depreciation period used for such asset for Federal income 
     tax purposes.
       (2) In the event that the contract expires or is terminated 
     prior to the estimated useful life of an asset described in 
     paragraph (1), the concessioner shall be entitled to receive 
     from the United States or the successor concessioner payment 
     equal to the value of the concessioner's interest in such 
     structure, fixture, or improvement. A successor concessioner 
     may not revalue the interest in such structure, fixture, or 
     improvement, the method of depreciation, or the estimated 
     useful life of the asset.
       (3) Title to any such structure, fixture, or improvement 
     shall be vested in the United States.
       (c) Insurance, Maintenance and Repair.--Nothing in this 
     section shall affect the obligation of a concessioner to 
     insure, maintain, and repair any structure, fixture, or 
     improvement assigned to such concessioner and to insure that 
     such structure, fixture, or improvement fully complies with 
     applicable safety and health laws and regulations.

     SEC. 12. RATES AND CHARGES TO PUBLIC.

       The reasonableness of a concessioner's rates and charges to 
     the public shall, unless otherwise provided in the prospectus 
     and contract, be judged primarily by comparison with those 
     rates and charges for facilities and services of comparable 
     character charged by parties in reasonable proximity to the 
     relevant park and operating under similar conditions, with 
     due consideration for length of season, seasonal variance, 
     average percentage of occupancy, accessibility, availability 
     and costs of labor and materials, type of patronage, and 
     other factors deemed significant by the Secretary.

     SEC. 13. CONCESSIONER PERFORMANCE EVALUATION.

       (a) Regulations.--Within one hundred and eighty days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary, after an 
     appropriate period for public comment, shall publish 
     regulations establishing standards and criteria for 
     evaluating the performance of concessioners operating within 
     parks.
       (b) Periodic Evaluation.--(1) The Secretary shall 
     periodically conduct an evaluation of each concessioner 
     operating under a concession contract pursuant to this Act to 
     determine whether such concessioner has performed 
     satisfactorily. In evaluating a concessioner's performance, 
     the Secretary shall seek and consider applicable reports and 
     comments from appropriate Federal, State, and local 
     regulatory agencies, and shall seek and consider the views of 
     park visitors and concession customers. If the Secretary's 
     performance evaluation results in an unsatisfactory rating of 
     the concessioner's overall operation, the Secretary shall so 
     notify the concessioner in writing, and shall provide the 
     concessioner with a list of the minimum requirements 
     necessary for the operation to be rated satisfactory.
       (2) The Secretary may terminate a concession contract if 
     the concessioner fails to meet the minimum operational 
     requirements identified by the Secretary within the time 
     limitations established by the Secretary at the time notice 
     of the unsatisfactory rating is provided to the concessioner.
       (3) If the Secretary terminates a concession contract 
     pursuant to this section, the Secretary shall solicit 
     proposals for a new contract consistent with the provisions 
     of this Act.
       (c) Congressional Notification.--The Secretary shall notify 
     the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United 
     States Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the 
     United States House of Representatives of each unsatisfactory 
     overall annual rating and of each concession contract 
     terminated pursuant to this section.

     SEC. 14. RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS.

       (a) In General.--Each concessioner shall keep such records 
     as the Secretary may prescribe to enable the Secretary to 
     determine that all terms of the concessioner's contract have 
     been and are being faithfully performed, and the Secretary, 
     the Inspector General of the Department of the Interior, or 
     any of the Secretary's duly authorized representatives shall, 
     for the purpose of audit and examination, have access to such 
     records and to other books, documents and papers of the 
     concessioner pertinent to the contract and all the terms and 
     conditions thereof as the Secretary and the Inspector General 
     deem necessary.
       (b) General Accounting Office Review.--The Comptroller 
     General of the United States or any of his or her duly 
     authorized representatives shall, until the expiration of 
     five calendar years after the close of the business year for 
     each concessioner, have access to and the right to examine 
     any pertinent books, documents, papers, and records of the 
     concessioner related to the contracts or contracts involved, 
     including those related to any Park Improvement Funds 
     established pursuant to section 8(b).

     SEC. 15. EXEMPTION FROM CERTAIN LEASE REQUIREMENTS.

       The provisions of section 321 of the Act of June 30, 1932 
     (47 Stat. 412; 40 U.S.C. 303b), relating to the leasing of 
     buildings and properties of the United States, shall not 
     apply to contracts awarded by the Secretary pursuant to this 
     Act.

     SEC. 16. NO EFFECT ON ANILCA PROVISIONS.

       Nothing in this Act shall be construed to amend, supersede, 
     or otherwise affect any provision of the Alaska National 
     Interest Lands Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.).

     SEC. 17. IMPLEMENTATION.

       (a) Audit Requirement.--Beginning with fiscal year 1997, 
     the Inspector General of the Department of the Interior shall 
     conduct a biennial audit of the Secretary's implementation of 
     this Act and the award and management of concession contracts 
     and authorizations described in section 5(b).
       (b) Biennial Reports.--Beginning on June 1, 1997, and 
     biannually thereafter the Secretary and the Inspector General 
     of the Department of the Interior shall submit a report to 
     the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United 
     States Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the 
     United States House of Representatives on the implementation 
     of this Act and the effect of such implementation on 
     facilities operated and services provided pursuant to 
     concession contracts.
       (c) Information From Secretary.--In each report required by 
     this section, the Secretary shall--
       (1) identify any concession contracts which have been 
     renewed, renegotiated, terminated, or transferred during the 
     2 years prior to the submission of the report and identify 
     any significant changes in the terms of the new contract;
       (2) state the amount of franchise fees, the rates which 
     would be charged for services, and the level of other 
     services required to be provided by the concessioner in 
     comparison to that required in any previous concession 
     contract for the same facilities or services at the same 
     park;
       (3) assess the degree to which facilities are being 
     maintained, using the condition of such facilities on the 
     date of enactment of this Act as a baseline;
       (4) indicate whether competition has been increased or 
     decreased with respect to the awarding of concession 
     contracts;

     led to an increase or decrease in competition for concession 
     contracts;
       (3) the adequacy of recordkeeping and other requirements 
     imposed on establishment and use of park improvement funds 
     established pursuant to section 8(b); and

     Madam Chairwoman, the day is over when men can badger and 
     intimidate women. 

  The SPEAKER said:

  ``While in the opinion of the Chair the word ``badgering'' is not in 
itself unparliamentary, the Chair believes that the demeanor of the

period immediately following those words having been uttered.
  ``Accordingly, the Chair rules that without leave of the House, the

     consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment 
     under the five-minute rule an amendment in the nature of a

     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 to the House with such amendments as

     substitute made in order as original text. The previous

       Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the permission granted in

     Representatives, I have the honor to transmit a sealed 
     envelope received from the White House on Friday, July 29,

     President whereby he transmits the final report on the

           Sincerely yours,
                                              Donnald K. Anderson,

Para. 87.9  national emergency with respect to export controls

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  1. On September 30, 1990, in Executive Order No. 12730, President 
Bush declared a national emergency under the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act (``IEEPA'') (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal with 
the threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United 
States resulting from 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 the IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 
1703(b)). On March 27, 1993, the Export Administration Act was extended 
through June 30, 1994. Subsequently, on September 30, 1993, I issued 
Executive Order No. 12867, terminating Executive Order No. 12730.
  3. Section 401(c) of the NEA additionally requires the submission of 
a final report on all expenditures incurred during the period of 
emergency. This report, covering the period from September 30, 1990, to 
September 30, 1993, is submitted in compliance with this requirement.
  4. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 3-year 
period from September 30, 1990, to September 30, 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 
estimated to have been $117,720,000, most of which represented program 
operating costs, wage and salary costs for Federal personnel, and 
overhead expenses.
                                                  William J. Clinton.

                        TITLE II--TONNAGE DUTIES

     SEC. 201. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Coast Guard--
       (A) will spend over $400,000,000 in fiscal year 1995 
     conducting search and rescue operations far into the Atlantic 
     and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico to protect life and 
     property on United States and foreign-flag vessels;
       (B) inspects vessels of all nations to ensure their 
     compliance with international treaties and conventions;
       (C) will spend over $470,000,000 in fiscal year 1995 
     providing navigational aids to vessels from around the world 
     through the operation of--
     (i) LORAN, OMEGA, and the Differential Global Positioning 
     System; and
     (ii) over 46,000 lighthouses, buoys, daybeacons, fog signals,

       (D) will spend over $86,000,0000 in fiscal year 1995 
     providing icebreaking services for vessels from all nations.
       (2) It is reasonable for vessel owners of all nations that 
     benefit from these services, including owners of United 
     States-flag vessels, to pay tonnage duties to help offset the 
     cost of providing these services.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to increase the 
     tonnage duties imposed on vessels entering the United States 
     to help offset the cost of providing Coast Guard services to 
     those vessels.

     SEC. 202. INCREASE IN TONNAGE DUTIES.

       (a) Increased Duties.--Section 36 of the Act of August 5,

     duty of 38 cents per ton, except that for any vessel the duty 
     under this paragraph shall not apply with respect to more 
     than 25 entries by the vessel in any 12-month period.
       ``(2) Entry described.--An entry referred to in

     or place, other than an entry by a vessel that is in distress 
     or is not engaged in trade.
       ``(B) Other entry.--An entry by a vessel that departs a 
     United States port or place and returns to the same port or 
     place without being entered in the United States from another 
     port or place, other than--
     ``(i) an entry by a vessel of the United States, a 
     recreational vessel, or a barge (as those terms are defined 
     in section 2101 of title 46, United States Code); and
     ``(ii) an entry by a vessel that is in distress or is not 
     engaged in trade.
       ``(3) Offsetting receipts of coast guard.--Amounts received 
     by the United States as duty imposed under this subsection 
     shall be deposited in the general fund of the Treasury as 
     offsetting receipts of the department in which the Coast 
     Guard is operating and ascribed to Coast Guard activities.''; 
     and
       (2) by designating the remainder of the section as 
     subsection (b).

     between October 1, 1994, and September 30, 2004.
       (b) Limitation on Outlays.--The Secretary of Transportation 
     shall not enter into any agreements under the Maritime 
     Security and Competitiveness Act of 1993 or this Act that

     number of operating agreements that bears approximately the 
     same ratio to the total number of vessels in the priority, as 
     the amount of appropriations available for operating

       (a) In General.--After providing public notice and 
     opportunity for comment, the Secretary of Transportation 
     shall conduct a study of--

     SEC. 114. CARGO PREFERENCE ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) the Congress continues to support the cargo preference 
     program as an important element of support for the United 
     States-flag merchant marine because the United States 
     merchant marine is critical to the economic and national 
     security of the United States;
       (2) reserving a small portion of Government cargo for 
     United States-flag vessels encourages competition among 
     United States-flag vessels; and
       (3) administering the cargo preference program in a 
     centralized, commercially based manner reduces costs of the 
     program.
       (b) Administrative Reform.--Section 901 of the Merchant 
     Marine Act, 1936 (46 App. U.S.C. 1241) is amended by adding 
     at the end the following new subsections:
       ``(d) A privately owned United States-flag commercial 
     vessel transporting any equipment, materials, or commodities 
     under this section or section 901b shall be engaged under 
     terms no less favorable than the most favorable terms offered 
     to any foreign-flag vessel transporting equipment, materials, 
     or commodities under this section or section 901b.
       ``(e) A contract for the ocean transportation of any 
     equipment, materials, or commodities under this section or 
     section 901b, to the extent the Secretary of Transportation, 
     in consultation with the heads of other appropriate agencies, 
     determines necessary to further the purposes of this section 
     and section 901b, shall be based on contracts used for 
     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 
     consultation with the heads of other appropriate agencies, 
     considers to be necessary to ensure agreement provisions 
     relating to or affecting the transportation of such 
     equipment, materials, or commodities permit fair and 
     reasonable transportation services to be provided.
       ``(g) No later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of the Maritime Security and Competitiveness Act of 
     1993, the heads of appropriate Federal agencies, or their 
     representatives, shall transmit to the Secretary of 
     Transportation recommendations relating to the methodology 
     used by the Secretary of Transportation to determine whether 
     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.''.
       (c) Within 90 days after the date of enactment 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 
     waivers and action and through an exemption of cargo 
     preference requirements.

Para. 88.19  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to iraq

  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:
  I hereby report to the Congress on the developments since my last 
report of March 3, 1994, 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 United States 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. United States 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, to finance Iraq's obligations for 
U.N. activities with respect to Iraq, such as 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. Member 
States also may make voluntary contributions to the account. 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 U.N. Security 
Council. No Member State is required to fund more than half of the total 
transfers or 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, 1994, 
through August 1, 1994.
  1. During the reporting period, there were no amendments to the Iraqi 
Sanctions Regulations.
  2. Investigations of possible violations of the Iraqi sanctions 
continue to be pursued and appropriate enforcement actions taken. There 
are currently 30 enforcement actions pending. 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. Three penalties 
totaling $38,450 were collected from three banks for violation of the 
prohibitions against Iraq, and noncompliance with reporting requirements 
and an Office of Foreign Assets Control directive license.
  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

[[Page 1430]]

the Office of Foreign Assets Control's listing of individuals and 
organizations determined to be Specially Designated Nationals 
(``SDNs'') of the Government of Iraq. One Jordanian-Iraqi joint venture 
company prominently involved in shipments to Iraq was identified as an 
SDN of Iraq on May 4, 1994. A copy of the notice is attached.
  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 March 1, 1994, following payments by the 
Governments of the United Kingdom ($447,761.19), the Netherlands 
($1,566,994.55), Australia ($476,110.00), and the European Community 
($3,758,310,31), respectively, to the 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 $6,240,176.05 from the blocked account it 
holds to the United Nations-controlled account. Similarly, on March 22, 
1994, following the payment of $525,182.50 by the Government of the 
Netherlands, $2,478,089.89 by the European Community, $2,352,800.00 by 
the Government of the United Kingdom, $444,444.44 by the Government of 
Denmark, $1,204,899.30 by the Government of Sweden, and $3,100,000.00 
by the Government of Japan, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was 
directed to transfer a corresponding amount of $10,105,416.13 to the 
United Nations-controlled account. Again on June 30, 1994, the Federal 
Reserve Bank of New York was directed to transfer $6,969,862.89 to the 
United Nations-controlled account, an amount corresponding to the 
aggregate total of recent payments by the governments of other Member 
States: European Community ($1,042,774.31), United Kingdom 
($1,570,804.48), the Netherlands ($1,062,219.51), Kuwait 
($2,000,000.00), and Sweden ($1,294,064.59). Cumulative transfers from 
the blocked Federal Reserve Bank of New York account since issuance of 
Executive Order No. 12817 have amounted to $130,928,726.04 of the up to 
$200 million that the United States is obligated to match from blocked 
Iraqi oil payments, pursuant to United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 778.
  5. The Office of Foreign Assets Control has issued a total of 496 
specific licenses regarding transactions pertaining to Iraq or Iraqi 
assets since August 1990. Since my last report, 52 specific licenses 
have been issued. Licenses were issued for transactions such as the 
filing of legal actions against Iraqi governmental entities, legal 
representation of Iraq, and the exportation to Iraq of donated 
medicine, medical supplies, food intended for humanitarian relief 
purposes, the execution of powers of attorney relating to the 
administration of personal assets and decedents' estates in Iraq, and 
the protection of preexistent intellectual property rights in Iraq.
  6. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from February 2, 1994, through August 1, 1994, that are directly 
attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the 
declaration of a national emergency with respect to Iraq are reported 
to be about $2.3 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).

  7. The United States imposed economic sanctions on Iraq in response 
to Iraq's illegal invasion and 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. Security Council resolutions on Iraq call 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, the return 
of Kuwaiti assets stolen during Iraqi's illegal occupation of Kuwait, 
renunciation of terrorism, an end to internal Iraqi repression of its 
own civilian population, and the facilitation of access of 
international relief organizations to all those in need in all parts of 
Iraq. Four years after the invasion, a pattern of defiance persists: a 
refusal to recognize the international boundary with Kuwait or to 
account for missing Kuwaiti detainees, sponsorship of assassinations in 
Lebanon and in northern Iraq; incomplete declarations to weapons 
inspectors, and ongoing widespread human rights violations, among other 
things. As a result, 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 of its 
own citizens through systematic repression of minorities and denial of 
humanitarian assistance. The Government of Iraq has repeatedly said it 
will not be bound by United Nations Security Council Resolution 688. 
For more than 3 years, Baghdad has maintained a complete blockade of 
food, fuel, and medicine on northern Iraq. The Iraqi military routinely 
harasses residents on the north, and has attempted to ``Arabize'' 
Kurdish, Turcomen, and Assyrian areas in the north. Iraq has not 
relented in its military artillery attacks against civilian population 
centers in the south, or in its burning and draining operations in the 
southern marshes, which have forced thousands to flee to neighboring 
States.
  In 1991, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolutions 706 
and 712, which would permit Iraq to sell up to $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. The resolutions also 
provide for the payment of compensation to victims of Iraqi aggression 
and other U.N. activities with respect to Iraq. The equitable 
distribution within Iraq of this humanitarian 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. Nearly a year ago, 
the Iraqi government informed the United Nations that it would not 
implement Resolutions 706 and 712.
  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. The U.N. resolutions require that the Security Council be 
assured of Iraq's peaceful intentions in judging its compliance with 
sanctions. Because of Iraqi's failure to comply fully with these 
resolutions, the United States will continue to apply economic 
sanctions to deter it from threatening peace and stability in the 
region.

     follows:
       ``(d) Interstate Banking.--
       ``(1) Approvals authorized.--
       ``(A) Acquisition of banks.--The Board may approve an 
     application under this section by a bank holding company that 
     is adequately capitalized and adequately managed to acquire 
     control of, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets 
     of, a bank located in a State other than the home State of 
     such bank holding company, without regard to whether such 
     transaction is prohibited under the law of any State.
       ``(B) Preservation of state age laws.--
       ``(i) In general.--Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the 
     Board may not approve an application pursuant to such 
     subparagraph that would have the effect of permitting an out-
     of-State bank holding company to acquire a bank in a host 
     State that has not been in existence for the minimum period 
     of time, if any, specified in the statutory law of the host 
     State.
       ``(ii) Special rule for state age laws specifying a period 
     of more than 5 years.--Notwithstanding clause (i), the Board 
     may approve, pursuant to subparagraph (A), the acquisition of 
     a bank that has been in existence for at least 5 years 
     without regard to any longer minimum period of time specified 
     in a statutory law of the host State.
       ``(C) Shell banks.--For purposes of this subsection, a bank 
     that has been chartered solely for the purpose of, and does 
     not open for business prior to, acquiring control of, or 
     acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of, an 
     existing bank shall be deemed to have been in existence for 
     the same period of time as the bank to be acquired.
       ``(D) Effect on state contingency laws.--No provision of 
     this subsection shall be construed as affecting the

[[Page 1445]]

     agency for the out-of-State bank determines that the bank's 
     level of lending in the host State relative to the deposits 
     from the host State (as reasonably determinable from 
     available information including the agency's sampling of the 
     bank's loan files during an examination or such data as is

     loans in the host State relative to total deposits from the

     banks the home State of which is such State--
       (A) the appropriate Federal banking agency for the out-of-
     State bank shall review the loan portfolio of the bank and 
     determine whether the bank is reasonably helping to meet the 
     credit needs of the communities served by the bank in the

     branches of such bank in the host State be closed unless the 
     bank provides reasonable assurances to the satisfaction of 
     the appropriate Federal banking agency that the bank has an 
     acceptable plan that will reasonably help to meet the credit 
     needs of the communities served by the bank in the host 
     State, and
       (ii) the out-of-State bank may not open a new interstate 
     branch in the host State unless the bank provides reasonable 
     assurances to the satisfaction of the appropriate Federal 
     banking agency that the bank will reasonably help to meet the 
     credit needs of the community that the new branch will serve.
       (2) Considerations.--In making a determination under 
     paragraph (1)(A), the appropriate Federal banking agency 
     shall consider--
       (A) whether the interstate branch or branches of the out-
     of-State bank were formerly part of a failed or failing 
     depository institution;
       (B) whether the interstate branch was acquired under 
     circumstances where there was a low loan-to-deposit ratio 
     because of the nature of the acquired institution's business 
     or loan portfolio;
       (C) whether the interstate branch or branches of the out-
     of-State bank have a higher concentration of commercial or 
     credit card lending, trust services, or other specialized 
     activities;
       (D) the ratings received by the out-of-State bank under the 
     Community Reinvestment Act of 1977;
       (E) economic conditions, including the level of loan 
     demand, within the communities served by the interstate 
     branch or branches of the out-of-State bank; and

     of-State bank.

     paragraph (1)(B)(i), the appropriate Federal banking agency

     close an interstate branch or branches and shall schedule a 
     hearing.

     Act shall apply to any proceeding brought under this 
     paragraph.
       (d) Application.--This section shall apply with respect to 
     any interstate branch established or acquired in a host State

     SEC. 201. AMENDMENTS TO FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE ACT AND

       (a) Federal Deposit Insurance Act.--Section 11(d)(14) of 
     the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1821(d)(14)) is 
     amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:

     SEC. 202. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING MULTILATERAL EXPORT 
                   CONTROLS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the United States and its allies have agreed that as of 
     March 31, 1994, the Coordinating Committee (hereafter 
     referred to as ``COCOM''), the multilateral body that 
     controlled strategic exports to the former Soviet Union and 
     other Communist States, ceased to exist;
       (2) no successor has yet been established to replace the 
     COCOM;
       (3) threats to United States security are posed by rogue 
     regimes that support terrorism as a matter of national 
     policy;
       (4) a critical element of the United States proposal for a 
     successor to COCOM is that supplier nations agree on a list 
     of militarily critical products and technologies that would 
     be denied to a handful of rogue regimes;
       (5) some allies of the United States oppose this principle 
     and instead propose that such controls be left to ``national 
     discretion'', effectively replacing multilateral export 
     controls with a loose collection of unilateral export control 
     policies which would be adverse for United States security 
     and economic interests;
       (6) multilateral controls are needed to thwart efforts of 
     Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Libya, and other rogue regimes, to 
     acquire arms and sensitive dual-use goods and technologies 
     that could contribute to their efforts to build weapons of 
     mass destruction; and
       (7) the United States would be forced to make the difficult 
     choice of choosing between unilateral export controls under 
     the Export Administration Act of 1979, which would put 
     American companies at a competitive disadvantage worldwide, 
     or allowing exports that could seriously harm the national 
     security interests of the United States.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the President should work to achieve a clearly defined 
     and enforceable agreement with allies of the United States 
     which establishes a multilateral export control system for 
     the proliferation of products and technologies to rogue 
     regimes that would jeopardize the national security of the 
     United States; and
       (2) the President should persuade allies of the United 
     States to promote mutual security interests by preventing 
     rogue regimes from obtaining militarily critical products and 
     technologies.

     SEC. 203. AMENDMENTS RELATING TO SILVER MEDALS FOR PERSIAN 
                   GULF VETERANS.

     inserting ``enactment''; and
       (2) in section 307 by striking subsection (b) and inserting 
     the following:

     medals described in section 302 whenever there are any funds 
     available to cover the cost of minting and issuing any such

     referred to in section 103(aa), the creditor shall provide 
     the following disclosures in conspicuous type size:

     merely because you have received these disclosures or have 
     signed a loan application.'

       ``(A) In general.--After providing the disclosures required 
     by this section, a creditor may not change the terms of the 
     extension of credit if such changes make the disclosures 
     inaccurate, unless new disclosures are provided that meet the 
     requirements of this section.
       ``(B) Telephone disclosure.--A creditor may provide new 
     disclosures pursuant to subparagraph (A) by telephone, if--
       ``(i) the change is initiated by the consumer; and

     circumstances set forth in those regulations.
       ``(c) No Prepayment Penalty.--
       ``(1) In general.--
       ``(A) Limitation on terms.--A mortgage referred to in 
     section 103(aa) may not contain terms under which a consumer 
     must pay a prepayment penalty for paying all or part of the 
     principal before the date on which the principal is due.
       ``(B) Construction.--For purposes of this subsection, any 
     method of computing a refund of unearned scheduled interest 
     is a prepayment penalty if it is less favorable to the 
     consumer than the actuarial method (as that term is defined 
     in section 933(d) of the Housing and Community Development 
     Act of 1992).
       ``(2) Exception.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a mortgage 
     referred to in section 103(aa) may contain a prepayment 
     penalty (including terms calculating a refund by a method 
     that is not prohibited under section 933(b) of the Housing 
     and Community Development Act of 1992 for the transaction in 
     question) if--

     indebtedness payments (including the amount of credit 
     extended or to be extended under the transaction) that is 
     greater than 50 percent of the monthly gross income of the 
     consumer; and
       ``(ii) the income and expenses of the consumer are verified 
     by a financial statement signed by the consumer, by a credit 
     report, and in the case of employment income, by payment 
     records or by verification from the employer of the consumer 
     (which verification may be in the form of a copy of a pay 
     stub or other payment record supplied by the consumer);
       ``(B) the penalty applies only to a prepayment made with 
     amounts obtained by the consumer by means other than a 
     refinancing by the creditor under the mortgage, or an 
     affiliate of that creditor;
       ``(C) the penalty does not apply after the end of the 5-
     year period beginning on the date on which the mortgage is 
     consummated; and
       ``(D) the penalty is not prohibited under other applicable 
     law.
       ``(d) Limitations After Default.--A mortgage referred to in 
     section 103(aa) may not provide for an interest rate 
     applicable after default that is higher than the interest 
     rate that applies before default. If the date of maturity of 
     a mortgage referred to in subsection 103(aa) is accelerated 
     due to default and the consumer is entitled to a rebate of 
     interest, that rebate shall be computed by any method that is 
     not less favorable than the actuarial method (as that term is 
     defined in section 933(d) of the Housing and Community 
     Development Act of 1992).
       ``(e) No Balloon Payments.--A mortgage referred to in 
     section 103(aa) having a term

[[Page 1460]]

     of less than 5 years may not include terms under which the 
     aggregate amount of the regular periodic payments would not 
     fully amortize the outstanding principal balance.
       ``(f) No Negative Amortization.--A mortgage referred to in 
     section 103(aa) may not include terms under which the 
     outstanding principal balance will increase at any time over 
     the course of the loan because the regular periodic payments 
     do not cover the full amount of interest due.
       ``(g) No Prepaid Payments.--A mortgage referred to in 
     section 103(aa) may not include terms under which more than 2 
     periodic payments required under the loan are consolidated 
     and paid in advance from the loan proceeds provided to the 
     consumer.

     Payment Ability of Consumer.--A creditor shall not engage in 
     a pattern or practice of extending credit to consumers under 
     mortgages referred to in section 103(aa) based on the 
     consumers' collateral without regard to the consumers' 
     repayment ability, including the consumers' current and 
     expected income, current obligations, and employment.
       ``(i) Requirements for Payments Under Home Improvement 
     Contracts.--A creditor shall not make a payment to a 
     contractor under a home improvement contract from amounts 
     extended as credit under a mortgage referred to in section 
     103(aa), other than--

     consumer or jointly to the consumer and the contractor; or
       ``(2) at the election of the consumer, by a third party 
     escrow agent in accordance with terms established in a

       ``(j) Consequence of Failure To Comply.--Any mortgage that 
     contains a provision prohibited by this section shall be 
     deemed a failure to deliver the material disclosures required 
     under this title, for the purpose of section 125.
       ``(k) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     `affiliate' has the same meaning as in section 2(k) of the 
     Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.
       ``(l) Discretionary Regulatory Authority of Board.--
       ``(1) Exemptions.--The Board may, by regulation or order, 
     exempt specific mortgage products or categories of mortgages 
     from any or all of the prohibitions specified in subsections 
     (c) through (i), if the Board finds that the exemption--
       ``(A) is in the interest of the borrowing public; and
       ``(B) will apply only to products that maintain and 
     strengthen home ownership and equity protection.
       ``(2) Prohibitions.--The Board, by regulation or order, 
     shall prohibit acts or practices in connection with--

     section; and
       ``(B) refinancing of mortgage loans that the Board finds to 
     be associated with abusive lending practices, or that are 
     otherwise not in the interest of the borrower.''.

     the laws of any State, with respect to the requirements for 
     mortgages referred to in section 103(aa), except to the

     provide prior written notice of any such civil action to the 
     Federal agency responsible for enforcement under section 108 
     and shall provide the agency with a copy of the complaint. If 
     prior notice is not feasible, the State attorney general

     of the mortgage, unless the purchaser or assignee 
     demonstrates, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a 
     reasonable person exercising ordinary due diligence, could 
     not determine, based on the documentation required by this 
     title, the itemization of the amount financed, and other 
     disclosure of disbursements that the mortgage was a mortgage 
     referred to in section 103(aa). The preceding sentence does

     total cost of the mortgage to be disclosed to the consumer

     limit.
       (f) Prompt Corrective Action Not Affected.--The capital of 
     an insured depository institution shall be computed without 
     regard to this section in determining whether the institution

             Subtitle B--Small Business Capital Enhancement

     SEC. 251. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) small business concerns are a vital part of the 
     economy, accounting for the majority of new jobs, new 
     products, and new services created in the United States;
       (2) adequate access to debt capital is a critical component 
     for small business development, productivity, expansion, and 
     success in the United States;
       (3) commercial banks are the most important suppliers of 
     debt capital to small business concerns in the United States;
       (4) commercial banks and other depository institutions have 
     various incentives to minimize their risk in financing small 
     business concerns;
       (5) as a result of such incentives, many small business 
     concerns with economically sound financing needs are unable 
     to obtain access to needed debt capital;
       (6) the small business capital access programs implemented 
     by certain States are a flexible and efficient tool to assist 
     financial institutions in providing access to needed debt 
     capital for many small business concerns in a manner 
     consistent with safety and soundness regulations;
       (7) a small business capital access program would 
     complement other programs which assist small business 
     concerns in obtaining access to capital; and
       (8) Federal policy can stimulate and accelerate efforts by 
     States to implement small business capital access programs by 
     providing an incentive to States, while leaving the 
     administration of such programs to each participating State.

[[Page 1463]]

       (b) Purposes.--By encouraging States to implement 
     administratively efficient capital access programs that 
     encourage commercial banks and other depository institutions 
     to provide access to debt capital for a broad portfolio of 
     small business concerns, and thereby promote a more efficient 
     and effective debt market, the purposes of this subtitle 
     are--
       (1) to promote economic opportunity and growth;
       (2) to create jobs;
       (3) to promote economic efficiency;
       (4) to enhance productivity; and
       (5) to spur innovation.

     but that has its own capital access program providing 
     portfolio insurance for business loans (based on a separate 
     loss reserve fund for each financial institution), may apply 
     at any time to the Fund to be approved to be a participating 
     State. The Fund shall approve such State to be a 
     participating State, and to be eligible for reimbursements by

     fund with respect to loans enrolled on or after the date that 
     an amended participation agreement between the participating

     to an appropriations Act), without fiscal year limitation, 
     for the purpose of making reimbursements pursuant to section 
     257 and otherwise carrying out this subtitle.
       (e) Amendments to Agreements.--If a State that has been 
     approved to be a participating State wishes to amend its form 
     of participation agreement and continue to be a participating 
     State, such State shall submit such amendment for review by 
     the Fund in accordance with subsection (b)(4). Any such 
     amendment shall become effective only after it has been 
     approved by the Fund.

     SEC. 254. PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS.

       (a) In General.--A participating State may enter into a 
     participation agreement with any financial institution 
     determined by the participating State, after consultation 
     with the appropriate Federal banking agency, to have 
     sufficient commercial lending experience and financial and 
     managerial capacity to participate in the Program. The 
     determination by the State shall not be reviewable by the 
     Fund.
       (b) Participating Financial Institutions.--Upon entering 
     into the participation agreement with the participating 
     State, the financial institution shall become a participating 
     financial institution eligible to enroll loans under the 
     Program.

     SEC. 255. TERMS OF PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS.

       (a) In General.--The participation agreement to be entered 
     into by a participating State and a participating financial 
     institution shall include all provisions required by this

     with the provisions of this section.
       (b) Establishment of Separate Reserve Funds.--A separate 
     reserve fund shall be established by the participating State 
     for each participating financial institution. All funds 
     credited to a reserve fund shall be the exclusive property of 
     the participating State. Each reserve fund shall be an 
     administrative account for the purposes of--
       (1) receiving all required premium charges to be paid by 
     the borrower and participating financial institution and 
     contributions by the participating State; and
       (2) disbursing funds, either to cover losses sustained by 
     the participating financial institution in connection with 
     loans made under the Program, or as contemplated by 
     subsections (d) and (r).
       (c) Investment Authority.--Subject to applicable State law, 
     the participating State may invest, or cause to be invested, 
     funds held in a reserve fund by establishing a deposit 
     account at the participating financial institution in the 
     name of the participating State. In the event that funds in 
     the reserve fund are not deposited in such an account, such 
     funds shall be invested in a form that the participating 
     State determines is safe and liquid.
       (d) Earned Income and Interest.--Interest or income earned 
     on the funds credited to a reserve fund shall be deemed to be 
     part of the reserve fund, except that a participating State 
     may, as further specified in the participation agreement, 
     provide authority for the participating State to withdraw 
     some or all of such interest or income earned.
       (e) Loan Terms and Conditions.--
       (1) In general.--A loan to be filed for enrollment under 
     the Program may be made with such interest rate, fees, and 
     other terms and conditions as agreed upon by the 
     participating financial institution and the borrower, 
     consistent with applicable law.

[[Page 1464]]

       (2) Lines of credit.--If a loan to be filed for enrollment 
     is in the form of a line of credit, the amount of the loan 
     shall be considered to be the maximum amount that can be 
     drawn by the borrower against the line of credit.
       (f) Enrollment Process.--
       (1) Filing.--
       (A) In general.--A participating financial institution 
     shall file each loan made under the Program for enrollment by 
     completing and submitting to the participating State a form 
     prescribed by the participating State.
       (B) Form.--The form referred to in subparagraph (A) shall 
     include a representation by the participating financial 
     institution that it has complied with the participation 
     agreement in enrolling the loan with the State.
       (C) Premium charges.--Accompanying the completed form shall 
     be the nonrefundable premium charges paid by the borrower and 
     the participating financial institution, or evidence that 
     such premium charges have been deposited into the deposit 
     account containing the reserve fund, if applicable.
       (D) Submission.--The participation agreement shall require 
     that the items required by this subsection shall be submitted 
     to the participating State by the participating financial 
     institutions not later than 10 calendar days after a loan is 
     made.
       (2) Enrollment by state.--Upon receipt by the participating 
     State of the filing submitted in accordance with paragraph 
     (1), the participating State shall promptly enroll the loan 
     and make a matching contribution to the reserve fund in 
     accordance with subsection (j), unless the information 
     submitted indicates that the participating financial 
     institution has not complied with the participation agreement 
     in enrolling the loan.
       (g) Coverage Amount.--In filing a loan for enrollment under 
     the Program, the participating financial institution may 
     specify an amount to be covered under the Program that is 
     less than the full amount of the loan.
       (h) Premium Charges.--
       (1) Minimum and maximum amounts.--The premium charges 
     payable to the reserve fund by the borrower and the 
     participating financial institution shall be prescribed by 
     the participating financial institution, within minimum and 
     maximum limits set forth in the participation agreement. The 
     participation agreement shall establish minimum and maximum 
     limits whereby the sum of the premium charges paid in 
     connection with a loan by the borrower and the participating 
     financial institution is not less than 3 percent nor more 
     than 7 percent of the amount of the loan covered under the 
     Program.
       (2) Allocation of premium charges.--The participation 
     agreement shall specify terms for allocating premium charges 
     between the borrower and the participating financial 
     institution. However, if the participating financial 
     institution is required to pay any of the premium charges, 
     the participation agreement shall authorize the participating 
     financial institution to recover from the borrower the cost 
     of the payment of the participating financial institution, in 
     any manner on which the participating financial institution 
     and the borrower agree.
       (i) Restrictions.--
       (1) Actions prohibited.--Except as provided in subsection 
     (h) and paragraph (2) of this subsection, the participating 
     State may not--
       (A) impose any restrictions or requirements, relating to 
     the interest rate, fees, collateral, or other business terms 
     and conditions of the loan; or
       (B) condition enrollment of a loan in the Program on the 
     review by the State of the risk or creditworthiness of a 
     loan.
       (2) Effect on other law.--Nothing in this subtitle shall 
     affect the applicability of any other law to the conduct by a 
     participating financial institution of its business.
       (j) State Contributions.--In enrolling a loan under the 
     Program, the participating State shall contribute to the 
     reserve fund an amount, as provided for in the participation 
     agreement, which shall not be less than the sum of the amount 
     of premium charges paid by the borrower and the participating 
     financial institution.
       (k) Elements of Claims.--
       (1) Filing.--If a participating financial institution 
     charges off all or part of an enrolled loan, such 
     participating financial institution may file a claim for 
     reimbursement with the participating State by submitting a 
     form that--
       (A) includes the representation by the participating 
     financial institution that it is filing the claim in 
     accordance with the terms of the applicable participation 
     agreement; and
       (B) contains such other information as may be required by 
     the participating State.
       (2) Timing.--Any claim filed under paragraph (1) shall be 
     filed contemporaneously with the action of the participating 
     financial institution to charge off all or part of an 
     enrolled loan. The participating financial institution shall 
     determine when and how much to charge off on an enrolled 
     loan, in a manner consistent with its usual method for making 
     such determinations on business loans that are not enrolled 
     loans under this subtitle.
       (l) Elements of Claims.--A claim filed by a participating 
     financial institution may include the amount of principal 
     charged off, not to exceed the covered amount of the loan. 
     Such claim may also include accrued interest and out-of-
     pocket expenses, if and to the extent provided for under the 
     participation agreement.
       (m) Payment of Claims.--
       (1) In general.--Except as provided in subsection (n) and 
     paragraph (2) of this subsection, upon receipt of a claim 
     filed in accordance with this section and the participation 
     agreement, the participating State shall promptly pay to the 
     participating financial institution, from funds in the 
     reserve fund, the full amount of the claim as submitted.
       (2) Insufficient reserve funds.--If there are insufficient 
     funds in the reserve fund to cover the entire amount of a 
     claim of a participating financial institution, the 
     participating State shall pay to the participating financial 
     institution an amount equal to the current balance in the 
     reserve fund. If the enrolled loan for which the claim has 
     been filed--
       (A) is not an early loan, such payment shall be deemed 
     fully to satisfy the claim, and the participating financial 
     institution shall have no other or further right to receive 
     any amount from the reserve fund with respect to such claim; 
     or
       (B) is an early loan, such payment shall not be deemed 
     fully to satisfy the claim of the participating financial 
     institution, and at such time as the remaining balance of the 
     claim does not exceed 75 percent of the balance in the 
     reserve fund, the participating State shall, upon the request 
     of the participating financial institution, pay any remaining 
     amount of the claim.
       (n) Denial of Claims.--A participating State may deny a 
     claim if a representation or warranty made by the 
     participating financial institution to the participating 
     State at the time that the loan was filed for enrollment or 
     at the time that the claim was submitted was known by the 
     participating financial institution to be false.
       (o) Subsequent Recovery of Claim Amount.--If, subsequent to 
     payment of a claim by the participating State, a 
     participating financial institution recovers from a borrower 
     any amount for which payment of the claim was made, the 
     participating financial institution shall promptly pay to the 
     participating State for deposit into the reserve fund the 
     amount recovered, less any expenses incurred by the 
     institution in collection of such amount.
       (p) Participation Agreement Terms.--
       (1) In general.--In connection with the filing of a loan 
     for enrollment in the Program, the participation agreement--
       (A) shall require the participating financial institution 
     to obtain an assurance from each borrower that--
       (i) the proceeds of the loan will be used for a business 
     purpose;
       (ii) the loan will not be used to finance passive real 
     estate ownership; and
       (iii) the borrower is not--

       (I) an executive officer, director, or principal 
     shareholder of the participating financial institution;
       (II) a member of the immediate family of an executive 
     officer, director, or principal shareholder of the 
     participating financial institution; or
       (III) a related interest of any such executive officer, 
     director, principal shareholder, or member of the immediate 
     family;

       (B) shall require the participating financial institution 
     to provide assurances to the participating State that the 
     loan has not been made in order to place under the protection 
     of the Program prior debt that is not covered under the 
     Program and that is or was owed by the borrower to the 
     participating financial institution or to an affiliate of the 
     participating financial institution;
       (C) may provide that if--
       (i) a participating financial institution makes a loan to a 
     borrower that is a refinancing of a loan previously made to 
     the borrower by the participating financial institution or an 
     affiliate of the participating financial institution;
       (ii) such prior loan was not enrolled in the Program; and
       (iii) additional or new financing is extended by the 
     participating financial institution as part of the 
     refinancing,
     the participating financial institution may file the loan for 
     enrollment, with the amount to be covered under the Program 
     not to exceed the amount of any additional or new financing; 
     and
       (D) may include additional restrictions on the eligibility 
     of loans or borrowers that are not inconsistent with the 
     provisions and purposes of this subtitle.
       (2) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
     terms ``executive officer'', ``director'', ``principal 
     shareholder'', ``immediate family'', and ``related interest'' 
     refer to the same relationship to a participating financial 
     institution as the relationship described in part 215 of 
     title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor 
     to such part.
       (q) Termination Clause.--In each participation agreement, 
     the participating State shall reserve for itself the ability 
     to terminate its obligation to enroll loans under the 
     Program. Any such termination shall be prospective only, and 
     shall not apply to amounts of loans enrolled under the 
     Program prior to such termination.
       (r) Allowable Withdrawals From Fund.--The participation 
     agreement may provide that, if, for any consecutive period of 
     not less than 24 months, the aggregate outstanding balance of 
     all enrolled loans for a participating financial institution 
     is continually less than the outstanding balance in the 
     reserve fund for that participating financial institution, 
     the participating State, in its discretion, may withdraw an 
     amount from the reserve fund to bring the balance in the 
     reserve fund down to the outstanding balance of all such 
     enrolled loans.
       (s) Grandfathered Provision.--

[[Page 1465]]

       (1) Special treatment of premium charges.--Notwithstanding 
     subsection (b) or (d), the participation agreement, if 
     explicitly authorized by a statute enacted by the State 
     before the date of enactment of this Act, may allow a 
     participating financial institution to treat the premium 
     charges paid by the participating financial institution and 
     the borrower into the reserve fund, and interest or income 
     earned on funds in the reserve fund that are deemed to be 
     attributable to such premium charges, as assets of the 
     participating financial institution for accounting purposes, 
     subject to withdrawal by the participating financial 
     institution only--
       (A) for the payment of claims approved by the participating 
     State in accordance with this section; and
       (B) upon the participating financial institution's 
     withdrawal from authority to make new loans under the 
     Program.
       (2) Payment of post-withdrawal claims.--After any 
     withdrawal of assets from the reserve fund pursuant to 
     paragraph (1)(B), any future claims filed by the 
     participating financial institution on loans remaining in its 
     capital access program portfolio shall only be paid from 
     funds remaining in the reserve fund to the extent that, in 
     the aggregate, such claims exceed the sum of the amount of 
     such withdrawn assets, and interest on that amount, imputed 
     at the same rate as income would have accrued had the amount 
     not been withdrawn.
       (3) Conditions for terminating special authority.--If the 
     Fund determines that the inclusion in a participation 
     agreement of the provisions authorized by this subsection is 
     resulting in the enrollment of loans under the Program that 
     are likely to have been made without assistance provided 
     under this subtitle, the Fund may notify the participating 
     State that henceforth, the Fund will only make reimbursements 
     to the State under section 257 with respect to a loan if the 
     participation agreement between the participating State and 
     each participating financial institution has been amended to 
     conform with this section, without exercise of the special 
     authority granted by this subsection.

     SEC. 256. REPORTS.

       (a) Reserve Funds Report.--On or before the last day of 
     each calendar quarter, a participating State shall submit to 
     the Fund a report of contributions to reserve funds made by

     (1), (2), and (3) is accurate;
       (B) funds in an amount meeting the minimum requirements of 
     section 253(b)(3) continue to be available and legally

     reserve funds subsequent to the State being approved for 
     participation in the Program;
       (C) there has been no unapproved amendment to any 
     participation agreement or the form of participation

     equal to 50 percent of the amount of contributions by the 
     participating State to the reserve funds that are subject to 
     reimbursement by the Fund pursuant to section 256 and this 
     section. The Fund shall reimburse participating States, as it 
     receives reports pursuant to section 256(a), until available

     Program.
       (c) Three-Year Maximum.--The amount of reimbursement to be 
     provided by the Fund to a participating State over any 3-year 
     period in connection with loans made to any single borrower 
     or any group of borrowers among which a common enterprise

     subsection, ``common enterprise'' shall have the same meaning 
     as in part 32 of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
     or any successor to that part.
       (d) Loans Totaling Less Than $2,000,000.--In connection 
     with a loan in which the covered amount of the loan plus the 
     covered amount of all previous loans enrolled by a 
     participating financial institution does not exceed 
     $2,000,000, the amount of reimbursement by the Fund to the 
     participating State shall not exceed the lesser of--
       (1) 75 percent of the sum of the premium charges paid to 
     the reserve fund by the borrower and the participating 
     financial institution; or
       (2) 5.25 percent of the covered amount of the loan.
       (e) Loans Totaling More Than $2,000,000.--In connection 
     with a loan in which the sum of the covered amounts of all 
     previous loans enrolled by the participating financial

     reimbursement by the Fund to the participating State shall be 
     determined--
       (1) by applying subsection (d) to the portion of the loan, 
     which when added to the aggregate covered amount of all 
     previously enrolled loans equals $2,000,000; and
       (2) by applying subsection (e) to the balance of the loan.

     SEC. 258. REIMBURSEMENT TO THE FUND.

       (a) In General.--If a participating State withdraws funds 
     from a reserve fund pursuant to terms of the participation 
     agreement permitted by subsection (d) or (r) of section 255, 
     such participating State shall, not later than 15 calendar 
     days after such withdrawal, submit to the Fund an amount 
     computed by multiplying the amount withdrawn by the 
     appropriate factor, as determined under subsection (b).
       (b) Factor.--The appropriate factor shall be obtained by 
     dividing the total amount of contributions that have been 
     made by the participating State to all reserve funds which 
     were subject to reimbursement--
       (1) by 2; and
       (2) by the total amount of contributions made by the 
     participating State to all reserve funds, including if 
     applicable, contributions that have been made by the State 
     prior to becoming a participating State if the State 
     continued its own capital access program in accordance with 
     section 253(b).
       (c) Use of Reimbursements.--The Fund may use funds 
     reimbursed pursuant to this section to make reimbursements

     of the United States or any State, from participation in the 
     conduct of any federally or State licensed or regulated 
     business,

     may be grounds for the denial of any such license by the

     business described in subsection (a)(1)--
       (A) disclose to the appropriate State agency the fees

     license.--A criminal penalty for operating any business 
     referred to in paragraph (1) without a license within the 
     State after the end of an appropriate transition period 
     beginning on the date of enactment of such model statute by 
     the State.
       (c) Study Required.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall 
     conduct a study of--
       (1) the progress made by the several States in developing 
     and enacting a model statute which--
       (A) meets the requirements of subsection (b); and
       (B) furthers the goals of--

     containing the findings and recommendations of the Secretary 
     in connection with the study under subsection (c), together 
     with such recommendations for legislative and administrative 
     action as the Secretary may determine to be appropriate.
       (e) Recommendations in Cases of Inadequate Regulation and 
     Enforcement by States.--If the Secretary of the Treasury 
     determines that any State has been unable to--

     in subsection (b);
       (2) undertake adequate activity to enforce such statute; or

       (a) Findings and Purposes.--
       (1) Findings.--The Congress hereby finds the following:
       (A) Money transmitting businesses are subject to the 
     recordkeeping and reporting requirements of subchapter II of 
     chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code.
       (B) Money transmitting businesses are largely unregulated 
     businesses and are frequently used in sophisticated schemes 
     to--
       (i) transfer large amounts of money which are the proceeds 
     of unlawful enterprises; and
       (ii) evade the requirements of such subchapter II, the 
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and other laws of the United 
     States.
       (C) Information on the identity of money transmitting 
     businesses and the names of the persons who own or control, 
     or are officers or employees of, a money transmitting 
     business would have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, 
     tax, or regulatory investigations and proceedings.
       (2) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this section to 
     establish a registration requirement for businesses engaged 
     in providing check cashing, currency exchange, or money 
     transmitting or remittance services, or issuing or redeeming 
     money orders, travelers' checks, and other similar 
     instruments to assist the Secretary of the Treasury, the 
     Attorney General, and other supervisory and law enforcement 
     agencies to effectively enforce the criminal, tax, and 
     regulatory laws and prevent such money transmitting 
     businesses from engaging in illegal activities.
       (b) In General.--Subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, 
     United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the

     false or materially incomplete information in connection with

     in an area identified by the Director as an area having 
     special flood hazards and in which flood insurance under this 
     title is available. The form shall be established by 
     regulations issued not later than 270 days after the date of

     hazards the form shall require a statement to such effect and 
     shall indicate the complete map and panel numbers of the 
     improved real estate or property on which the mobile home is 
     located. If the complete map and panel numbers are not 
     available because the building or mobile home is not located 
     in a community that is participating in the national flood 
     insurance program or because no map exists for the relevant 
     area, the form shall require a statement to such effect. The

     relevant documents indicating revisions or amendments to 
     maps.
       ``(c) Required Use.--The Federal entities for lending 
     regulation shall by regulation require the use of the form

     developed under this section, any lender (or other person 
     required to use the form) who makes, increases, extends, or 
     renews a loan secured by improved real estate or a mobile 
     home may provide for the acquisition or determination

     increasing, extending, renewing, or purchasing a loan secured 
     by improved real estate or a mobile home may rely on a 
     previous determination of whether the building or mobile home 
     is located in an area having special flood hazards (and shall 
     not be liable for any error in such previous determination),

     before the date of the transaction and the basis for the

     the most recent map revisions or updates affecting such 
     property occurred and such revisions and updates have 
     occurred after such previous determination.

     requiring use of the form established pursuant to this 
     section shall be issued together with the regulations 
     required under subsection (a) and shall take effect upon the

     attributable to erosion;
       (2) if the Director determines that the savings to the 
     National Flood Insurance Fund will exceed the cost of mapping 
     erosion hazard areas, further assess whether using flood 
     insurance premiums for costs of mapping erosion hazard areas 
     is cost-beneficial compared to alternative uses of such 
     amounts, including--
       (A) funding the mitigation assistance program under section 
     1366 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (as added by 
     section 553 of this Act);
       (B) funding the program under section 1304(b) of the 
     National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (as added by section

       (3) if the Director determines under subsection (b)(1) that 
     mapping of riverine areas for erosion hazard areas is 
     technologically feasible, determine the costs and benefits of 
     conducting the mapping of erosion hazards in riverine areas 
     (A) separately from the mapping of other erosion hazard 
     areas, and (B) together with the mapping of other such areas;
       (4) if the Director determines that the savings to the 
     National Flood Insurance Fund will exceed the cost of mapping 
     erosion hazard areas in riverine areas, assess whether using 
     flood insurance premiums for costs of mapping erosion hazard 
     areas in riverine areas is cost-beneficial compared to 
     alternative uses of such amounts, including the uses under 
     subparagraphs (A) through (C) of paragraph (2); and
       (5) determine the costs and benefits of mapping erosion, 
     other than those directly related to the financial condition 
     of the National Flood Insurance Program, and the costs of not 
     mapping erosion.
       (e) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``erosion hazard area'' means, based on erosion rate 
     information and other historical data available, an area 
     where erosion or avulsion is likely to result in damage to or 
     loss of buildings and infrastructure within a 60-year period.

     SEC. 578. STUDY OF ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CHARGING ACTUARIALLY 
                   BASED PREMIUM RATES FOR PRE-FIRM STRUCTURES.

       (a) Study.--The Director of the Federal Emergency 
     Management Agency (in this section referred to as the 
     ``Director'') shall conduct a study of the economic effects 
     that would result from increasing premium rates for flood 
     insurance coverage made available under the national flood 
     insurance program for pre-FIRM structures to the full 
     actuarial risk based premium rate determined under section 
     1307(a)(1) of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 for 
     the area in which the property is located. In conducting the 
     study, the Director shall--

       (B) the number and types of properties affected and the 
     number and types of properties covered by flood insurance 
     under this title likely to cancel such insurance if the rate 
     increases were made;
       (C) the effects that the increased premium rates would have 
     on land values and property taxes; and
       (D) any other effects that the increased premium rates 
     would have on the economy and homeowners.
       (b) Definition of Pre-FIRM Structure.--For purposes of 
     subsection (a), the term ``pre-FIRM structure'' means a 
     structure that was not constructed or substantially improved 
     after the later of--
       (1) December 31, 1974; or
       (2) the effective date of the initial rate map published by 
     the Director under section 1360(a)(2) of the National Flood 
     Insurance Act of 1968 for the area in which such structure is 
     located.
       (c) Report.--The Director shall submit a report to the 
     Congress describing and explaining the findings of the study 
     conducted under this section. The report shall be submitted 
     not later than 12 months after the date of enactment of this 
     Act.

     SEC. 579. EFFECTIVE DATES OF POLICIES.

       (a) 30-Day Delay.--Section 1306 of the National Flood 
     Insurance Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4013), as amended by the 
     preceding provisions of this title, is further amended by 
     adding at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(c) Effective Date of Policies.--
       ``(1) Waiting period.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
     coverage under a new contract for flood insurance coverage 
     under this title entered into after the date of enactment of 
     the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement 
     Act of 1994, and any modification to coverage under an 
     existing flood insurance contract made after such date, shall 
     become effective upon the expiration of the 30-day period 
     beginning on the date that all obligations for such coverage 
     (including completion of the application and payment of any 
     initial premiums owed) are satisfactorily completed.
       ``(2) Exception.--The provisions of paragraph (1) shall not 
     apply to--
       ``(A) the initial purchase of flood insurance coverage 
     under this title when the purchase of insurance is in 
     connection with the making, increasing, extension, or renewal 
     of a loan; or
       ``(B) the initial purchase of flood insurance coverage 
     pursuant to a revision or updating of floodplain areas or 
     flood-risk zones under section 1360(f), if such purchase 
     occurs during the 1-year period beginning upon publication of 
     notice of the revision or updating under section 1360(h).''.
       (b) Study.--The Director of the Federal Emergency 
     Management Agency shall conduct a study to determine the 
     appropriateness of existing requirements regarding the 
     effective date and time of coverage under flood insurance 
     contracts obtained through the national flood insurance 
     program. In conducting the study, the Director shall 
     determine whether any delay between the time of purchase of 
     flood insurance coverage and the time of initial 
     effectiveness of the coverage should differ for various 
     classes of properties (based upon the type of property, 
     location of the property, or any other factors related to the 
     property) or for various circumstances under which such 
     insurance was purchased. Not later than the expiration of the 
     6-month period beginning on the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Director shall submit to the Congress a report on 
     the results of the study.

     the appropriate State or local authority, for the repair and 
     restoration to predamaged conditions of an agricultural 
     structure that--
       ``(i) is a repetitive loss structure; or
       ``(ii) has incurred flood-related damage to the extent that 
     the cost of restoring the structure to its predamaged 
     condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market 
     value of the structure before the damage occurred.
       ``(B) Premium rates and coverage.--To the extent 
     applicable, an agricultural structure repaired or restored 
     pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall pay chargeable premium 
     rates established under section 1308 at the estimated risk 
     premium rates under section 1307(a)(1). If resources are 
     available, the Director shall provide technical assistance 
     and counseling, upon request of the owner of the structure, 
     regarding wet flood-proofing and other flood damage reduction 
     measures for agricultural structures. The Director shall not 
     be required to make flood insurance coverage available for 
     such an agricultural structure unless the structure is wet 
     flood-proofed through permanent or contingent measures 
     applied to the structure or its contents that prevent or 
     provide resistance to damage from flooding by allowing flood 
     waters to pass through the structure, as determined by the 
     Director.
       ``(C) Prohibition on disaster relief.--Notwithstanding any 
     other provision of law, any agricultural structure repaired 
     or restored pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall not be 
     eligible for disaster relief assistance under any program 
     administered by the Director or any other Federal agency.
       ``(D) Definitions.--For purposes of this paragraph--
       ``(i) the term `agricultural structure' means any structure 
     used exclusively in connection with the production, 
     harvesting, storage, raising, or drying of agricultural 
     commodities; and
       ``(ii) the term `agricultural commodities' means 
     agricultural commodities and livestock.''.

       ``(4) Individual and area crop insurance coverage.--The 
     Corporation shall allow approved insurance providers to offer 
     to producers a plan of insurance that combines both 
     individual yield coverage and area yield coverage at a 
     premium rate determined by the provider, subject to the 
     following conditions:
       ``(A) The individual yield coverage shall be equal to or 
     greater than catastrophic risk protection, as described in 
     subsection (b).
       ``(B) The combined policy shall include area yield coverage 
     that is offered by Corporation or similar area coverage, as 
     determined by the Corporation.
       ``(C) The Corporation shall provide reinsurance on the area 
     yield portion of the combined policy at the request of the 
     provider, except that the provider shall agree to pay to the 
     producer any portion of the area yield and loss indemnity 
     payment received from the Corporation or a commercial 
     reinsurer that exceeds the individual indemnity payment made 
     by the provider to the producer.

     equivalent to--

     provisions regarding operating and administrative expenses); 
     and
       ``(ii) the amount of operating and administrative expenses 
     authorized by the Corporation for the area yield coverage 
     portion of the combined policy.
       ``(E) The provider shall provide all underwriting services 
     for the combined policy, including the determination of 
     individual yield coverage premium rates, the terms and 
     conditions of the policy, and the acceptance and 
     classification of applicants into risk categories, subject to

       ``(F) The Corporation shall approve the combined policy 
     unless the Corporation determines that the policy is not 
     actuarially sound or that the interests of producers are not 
     adequately protected.''.
       Page 33, line 22, add after the period the following: 
     ``Beginning with the 1995 crop year, the Corporation shall 
     establish for each insurable crop a sales closing date that 
     is 30 days earlier than the corresponding sales closing date 
     that was established for the 1994 crop year.''.

     than 100 percent since the 1987 crop year, a producer who 
     produces that crop on a farm located in that county may not 
     obtain an assigned yield under paragraph (3). Instead, the 
     producer must provide detailed documentation of production 
     costs, acres planted, and yield (as required by the 
     Corporation) to become eligible for a noninsured assistance 
     payment.
       ``(5) Limitation on receipt of subsequent assigned yield.--
     A producer who receives an assigned yield for the current 
     year of a natural disaster because required production 
     records were not submitted to the local office of the 
     Department shall not be eligible for an assigned yield for 
     the year of the next natural disaster unless the required 
     production records of the previous 1 or more years (as 
     applicable) are provided to the local office.
       ``(6) Yield variations due to different farming 
     practices.--The Corporation shall ensure that noninsured crop

     years. No action shall be taken which would jeopardize

     SEC. 14. GAO CROP INSURANCE PROVIDER STUDY.

       The General Accounting Office shall, within 2 years of 
     enactment, investigate the contractual relationship between 
     the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and approved insurance 
     providers to determine the quality, costs and efficiency of 
     the provision of multiperil crop insurance to producers of 
     agricultural commodities covered in this Act. The study shall 
     be completed in two parts. The first, to be completed within 
     one year of enactment, shall examine the currently available 
     data to make the determinations required by this section. The 
     second part shall examine the changes that occur because of 
     expansion of the program as participation increases.
       This study shall include, but not be limited to, an 
     investigation of providers' actual cost of delivery of 
     multiperil crop insurance for which providers receive 
     reimbursement from the Corporation, cost differences for 
     different provider firm sizes, and changes in cost resulting 
     from expansion of the program. The study shall also compare 
     delivery costs of multiperil crop insurance to other 
     insurance coverage that the provider may sell and identify 
     any corss-subsidization from federally reimbursed delivery to 
     delivery costs of other insurance coverage.
       The study shall assess, to the extent practicable, 
     alternative methods of reimbursing delivery costs to 
     providers. In addition, the study shall identify unnecessary 
     expenditure, if any, required by the Corporation for 
     compliance and program integrity.
       In addition, the study shall include, but not be limited 
     to, the provisions of the standard reinsurance agreement 
     between the Corporation and approved providers including the 
     risk transferred to Corporation under the terms of the 
     agreement, the return on providers' capital, a determination 
     of the return on capital relative to differences in provider 
     firm size, and a determination of the return on providers' 
     capital in multiperil crop insurance relative to other 
     insurance coverage.
       The study shall assess, to the extent practicable, the 
     potential for provider firm concentration in the multiperil 
     crop insurance industry and any economic distortions that 
     might occur from such concentration.
       In conducting this study, the General Accounting Office 
     shall maintain the privacy of provider proprietary 
     information.
       The General Accounting Office shall have full powers to 
     subpoena any required information from any provider firm. 

  Amendment, as modified, submitted by Mr. PENNY:

     the report required under paragraph (3) a plan to reduce the 
     average cost per policy incurred by private insurance 
     providers and agents to comply with requirements, 
     regulations, procedures, and processes under this title. To 
     the extent practicable, the Corporation shall set a target 
     percentage by which such costs should be reduced.
       ``(B) Implementation of plan.--Not later than 60 days after 
     submitting the report required under paragraph (3), and in

       ``(2) Period of coverage.--Except in the case of tobacco, 
     insurance shall not extend beyond the period the insured 
     commodity is in the field. For the purpose of the foregoing

     `field' means the environment in which the commodity is 
     produced.
       ``(3) Exclusions.--Insurance provided under this section 
     shall not cover losses--
       ``(A) due to the neglect or malfeasance of the producer;

     same crop in those areas and under such circumstances where 
     it is customary to reseed; or
       ``(C) due to the failure of the producer to follow good 
     farming practices, as determined by the Corporation.
       ``(4) Expansion to other areas or single producers.--
       ``(A) Area expansion.--The Corporation may offer plans of 
     insurance or reinsurance for production of agricultural 
     commodities in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin

     Territory of the Pacific Islands in the same manner as 
     provided in this section for production of agricultural 
     commodities in the United States.
       ``(B) Producer expansion.--In areas in the United States or 
     specified in subparagraph (A) where crop insurance is not 
     available for a particular agricultural commodity, the 
     Corporation may offer to enter into a written agreement with 
     an individual producer operating in that area for insurance 
     coverage under this title if the producer has actuarially 
     sound data relating to the producer's production of that 
     commodity and such data is acceptable to the Corporation.
       ``(5) Dissemination of crop insurance information.--The 
     Corporation shall make available to producers through local

     Information.--Not later than 6 months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation 
     shall submit a report to Congress containing a plan to 
     implement a sound program for producer education regarding 
     the crop insurance program and for the dissemination of crop 
     insurance information to producers, as required by section

     reports on the progress of the implementation of the program 
     shall be submitted to Congress in 1996 and 1997.

     SEC. 6. CATASTROPHIC RISK PROTECTION, BUY-UP COVERAGE, 
                   PREMIUMS, AND YIELD DETERMINATIONS.

       (a) In General.--Section 508 of the Federal Crop Insurance 
     Act (7 U.S.C. 1508) is amended--
       (1) by striking subsections (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), 
     (l), (m), and (n);
       (2) by redesignating subsections (b) and (d) as subsections 
     (h) and (i), respectively; and
       (3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new 
     subsections:
       ``(b) Catastrophic Risk Protection.--
       ``(1) Catastrophic risk protection required.--The 
     Corporation shall offer to producers of agricultural 
     commodities grown in the United States a catastrophic risk 
     protection plan to indemnify a producer for crop losses due 
     to loss of yield or prevented planting resulting from 
     drought, flood, or other natural disaster, as determined by 
     the Secretary, if the producer is unable to plant other crops 
     for harvest on that acreage for that crop year.
       ``(2) Amount of coverage.--
       ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), under 
     catastrophic risk protection, the Corporation shall offer 
     producers--
       ``(i) coverage equal to 50 percent loss in yield 
     (determined on an area or individual yield basis as described 
     in subsection (g)) indemnified at 60 percent of the expected 
     market price of the commodity (as determined by the 
     Corporation); or
       ``(ii) other coverage established by the Corporation that 
     is comparable to the coverage described in clause (i).
       ``(B) Reduction in actual payment.--The amount paid to a 
     producer on a claim under catastrophic risk protection may 
     reflect a reduction that is proportional to the out-of-pocket 
     expenses that are not incurred by the producer as a result of 
     not planting, growing, or harvesting the crop for which the 
     claim is made, as determined by the Corporation.
       ``(3) Yield and loss basis.--Producers shall have the 
     option of purchasing catastrophic risk protection based on 
     either an individual yield and loss basis or on an area yield 
     and loss basis, as described in subsection (g), when both 
     options are offered by the Corporation.
       ``(4) Application.--To participate in catastrophic risk 
     protection, producers shall submit an application at the 
     local office of the Department of Agriculture or to a private 
     insurance provider approved by the Corporation.
       ``(5) Administrative fee.--
       ``(A) Fee required.--Producers shall pay an administrative 
     fee for catastrophic risk protection. The administrative fee 
     for each producer shall be $50 per crop per county, but not 
     to exceed $200 per producer per county up to a maximum of 
     $600 per producer for all counties in which a producer has 
     insured crops. The administrative fee shall be paid by the 
     producer at the time the producer applies for catastrophic 
     risk protection.
       ``(B) Waiver of fee.--The Corporation shall waive the 
     administrative fee for limited resource farmers, as defined 
     by the Corporation.
       ``(C) Use of fees.--There are authorized to be appropriated 
     from fees required under subparagraph (A) such sums as may be 
     necessary for operating and administrative expenses incurred 
     for the delivery of catastrophic risk protection.
       ``(6) Coverage of all crops.--To be eligible for benefits 
     under any commodity price support, production adjustment, or 
     conservation program administered by the Department of 
     Agriculture, or for the farmer loan programs of the Farmers 
     Home Administration or any successor of that agency, a 
     producer must obtain at least catastrophic risk protection 
     for each crop of economic significance produced on each farm 
     in any county in which the producer has an interest, if 
     insurance is available in the county for those crops. For 
     purposes of this paragraph, the term `crop of economic 
     significance' means a crop that has contributed, or is 
     expected to contribute, 10 percent or more of the total 
     expected value of all crops grown by the producer.
       ``(7) Coverage under one policy.--If a producer applies for 
     catastrophic risk protection for a crop produced by the 
     producer in a county, the producer shall be required to 
     secure such protection under a single policy.
       ``(8) Authority to limit catastrophic risk protection.--The 
     Board may limit the availability of catastrophic risk 
     protection in any county or area, or on any farm, on the 
     basis of the insurance risk involved.
       ``(9) Transitional coverage for 1995 crops.--Effective only 
     for the 1995 crops and for which the sales period for crop 
     insurance expires before the date of the enactment of the 
     Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994, the Corporation 
     shall allow producers of such crops until at least the end of 
     the 6-month period beginning on such date to obtain 
     catastrophic risk protection for such crops. Upon the 
     enactment of such Act, producers who made timely purchases of 
     a crop insurance policy before the date of the enactment of 
     such Act, under the provisions then in effect, shall be 
     eligible for the same benefits to which a producer would be 
     entitled under comparable buy-up coverage under subsection 
     (c).
       ``(c) Coverage Levels Greater Than Catastrophic Risk 
     Protection.--
       ``(1) Buy-up coverage generally.--The Corporation shall 
     offer to producers of agricultural commodities grown in the 
     United States plans of crop insurance providing levels of 
     coverage greater than that available under catastrophic risk 
     protection under subsection (b). Plans of insurance under 
     this subsection shall be known as `buy-up coverage'. 
     Producers shall apply to private insurance providers approved 
     by the Corporation for purchase of buy-up coverage if such 
     coverage is available from private insurance providers. If 
     buy-up coverage is unavailable privately, the Corporation may 
     offer buy-up coverage plans of insurance directly to 
     producers. If a producer applies for catastrophic risk 
     protection at an office of the Department of Agriculture but 
     then elects to purchase buy-up coverage under this 
     subsection, the insurance file for that producer shall be 
     transferred to the approved private insurance provider 
     servicing the buy-up coverage policy.
       ``(2) Administrative fee.--
       ``(A) Fee required.--If a producer elects to purchase buy-
     up coverage for a crop at a level less than 65 percent of the 
     recorded or appraised average yield indemnified at 100 
     percent of the expected market price, or an equivalent 
     coverage, the producer shall pay an administrative fee for 
     such buy-up coverage. Subsection (b)(5) shall apply in 
     determining the amount and use of the administrative fee or 
     in determining whether to waive the administrative fee.
       ``(B) Exception.--If a producer elects to purchase buy-up 
     coverage for a crop equal to 65 percent or more of the 
     recorded or appraised average yield indemnified at 100 
     percent of the expected market price, or an equivalent 
     coverage, the producer shall not be subject to the 
     administrative fee required by this paragraph or subsection 
     (b)(5). If the producer has already paid the administrative 
     fee for a lower level of coverage for that crop, the 
     administrative fee shall be refunded to the producer unless 
     the refund would reduce to less than $200 the total amount of 
     the administrative fees paid by the producer for 2 or more 
     crops in the same

[[Page 1503]]

     county for which a lower level of coverage is obtained.
       ``(3) Yield and loss basis.--Producers shall have the 
     option of purchasing buy-up coverage based on either an 
     individual yield and loss basis or on an area yield and loss 
     basis, as described in subsection (g), when both options are 
     offered by the Corporation.
       ``(4) Yield elections.--Yield coverage shall be made 
     available to the producer on the basis of any yield election 
     that equals or is less than 85 percent of the individual 
     yield or 95 percent of the area yield, as determined by the 
     Corporation.
       ``(5) Price levels.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Corporation shall establish a price 
     level for each commodity on which buy-up coverage is offered 
     that--
       ``(i) shall not be less than the expected market price for 
     the commodity, as determined by the Corporation; or
       ``(ii) at the discretion of the Corporation, may be based 
     on the actual market price at the time of harvest, as 
     determined by the Corporation.
       ``(B) Special rule for malting barley.--For malting barley 
     covered by a contract between a producer and a processor, the 
     Corporation may offer a plan of insurance that allows the 
     producer to select the contract price as the price election 
     if--
       ``(i) the contract is definite as to the quantity and the 
     price;
       ``(ii) the producer submits a copy of the contract with the 
     application for insurance prior to the sales closing date for 
     the crop;
       ``(iii) coverage does not exceed the quantity contained in 
     the contract;
       ``(iv) the contracted quantity does not exceed the 
     production guarantee;
       ``(v) the contract is usual and customary in form and 
     content for the area;
       ``(vi) the processor is completely independent from the 
     producer; and
       ``(vii) the processor does not have an insurable interest 
     in the crop.
       ``(6) Price elections.--Subject to paragraph (10), 
     insurance coverage shall be made available to the producer on 
     the basis of any price election that equals or is less than 
     that established by the Board.
       ``(7) Level of coverage.--Not later than the beginning of 
     the 1996 crop year, the level of coverage shall be quoted in 
     terms of dollars per acre.
       ``(8) Reduction in actual payment.--The amount paid to a 
     producer on a claim under buy-up coverage may reflect a 
     reduction that is proportional to the out-of-pocket expenses 
     that are not incurred by the producer as a result of not 
     planting, growing, or harvesting the crop for which the claim 
     is made, as determined by the Corporation.
       ``(9) Fire and hail coverage.--For levels of buy-up 
     coverage equal to 65 percent or more of the recorded or 
     appraised average yield indemnified at 100 percent of the 
     expected market price, or an equivalent coverage, the 
     producer may elect to delete from the buy-up coverage any 
     coverage against damage caused by fire and hail if the 
     producer obtains an equivalent or greater dollar amount of 
     coverage for damage caused by fire and hail from a private 
     insurance provider. Upon written notice of such election to 
     the company issuing the policy providing buy-up coverage and 
     submission of evidence of substitute coverage on the 
     commodity insured, the producer's premium shall be reduced by 
     an amount determined by the Corporation to be actuarially 
     appropriate, taking into account the actuarial value of the 
     remaining coverage provided by the Corporation. In no event 
     shall the producer be given credit for an amount of premium 
     determined to be greater than the actuarial value of the 
     protection against losses caused by fire and hail that is 
     included in the buy-up coverage for the crop.
       ``(10) Limitations on buy-up coverage.--The Board may limit 
     the availability of buy-up coverage under this subsection in 
     any county or area, or on any farm, on the basis of the 
     insurance risk involved. The Board shall not offer buy-up 
     coverage equal to less than 50 percent of the recorded or 
     appraised average yield indemnified at 100 percent of the 
     expected market price, or an equivalent coverage.
       ``(d) Premiums.--
       ``(1) Premiums required.--The Corporation shall fix 
     adequate premiums for all its plans of insurance at such 
     rates as the Board deems actuarially sufficient to attain an 
     expected loss ratio of not greater than 1.1.
       ``(2) Premium amounts.--The premium amounts for 
     catastrophic risk protection under subsection (b) and buy-up 
     coverage under subsection (c) shall be fixed as follows:
       ``(A) In the case of catastrophic risk protection, the 
     amount of the premium shall be sufficient to cover 
     anticipated losses and a reasonable reserve.
       ``(B) In the case of buy-up coverage below 65 percent of 
     the recorded or appraised average yield indemnified at 100 
     percent of the expected market price, or an equivalent 
     coverage, but greater than 50 percent of the recorded or 
     appraised average yield indemnified at 100 percent of the 
     expected market price, or an equivalent coverage, the amount 
     of the premium shall--
       ``(i) be sufficient to cover anticipated losses and a 
     reasonable reserve; and
       ``(ii) include an amount for operating and administrative 
     expenses, as determined by the Corporation, that is less than 
     the amount established for coverage at 65 percent of the 
     recorded or appraised average yield indemnified at 100 
     percent of the expected market price, or an equivalent 
     coverage.
       ``(C) In the case of buy-up coverage equal to or greater 
     than 65 percent of the recorded or appraised average yield 
     indemnified at 100 percent of the expected market price, or 
     an equivalent coverage, the amount of the premium shall--
       ``(i) be sufficient to cover anticipated losses and a 
     reasonable reserve; and
       ``(ii) include an amount for operating and administrative 
     expenses, as determined by the Corporation, on an industry-
     wide basis as a percent of the amount of the premium used to 
     define loss ratio under section 502.
       ``(3) Premium reduction.--If a private insurance provider 
     determines that it may provide insurance more efficiently 
     than the expense reimbursement amount established by the 
     Corporation, the private insurance provider may reduce, 
     subject to the approval of the Corporation, the premium 
     charged the insured by an amount corresponding to such 
     efficiency. The private insurance provider shall apply to the 
     Corporation for authority to reduce the premium before making 
     such a reduction, and the reduction shall be subject to the 
     rules, limitations, and procedures established by the 
     Corporation.
       ``(4) Individual and area crop insurance coverage.--The 
     Corporation shall allow approved insurance providers to offer 
     to producers a plan of insurance that combines both 
     individual yield coverage and area yield coverage at a 
     premium rate determined by the provider, subject to the 
     following conditions:
       ``(A) The individual yield coverage shall be equal to or 
     greater than catastrophic risk protection, as described in 
     subsection (b).
       ``(B) The combined policy shall include area yield coverage 
     that is offered by the Corporation or similar area coverage, 
     as determined by the Corporation.
       ``(C) The Corporation shall provide reinsurance on the area 
     yield portion of the combined policy at the request of the 
     provider, except that the provider shall agree to pay to the 
     producer any portion of the area yield and loss indemnity 
     payment received from the Corporation or a commercial 
     reinsurer that exceeds the individual indemnity payment made 
     by the provider to the producer.
       ``(D) The Corporation shall pay a part of the premium 
     equivalent to--
       ``(i) the amount authorized under subsection (e)(2) (except 
     provisions regarding operating and administrative expenses); 
     and
       ``(ii) the amount of operating and administrative expenses 
     authorized by the Corporation for the area yield coverage 
     portion of the combined policy.
       ``(E) The provider shall provide all underwriting services 
     for the combined policy, including the determination of 
     individual yield coverage premium rates, the terms and 
     conditions of the policy, and the acceptance and 
     classification of applicants into risk categories, subject to 
     subparagraph (F).
       ``(F) The Corporation shall approve the combined policy 
     unless the Corporation determines that the policy is not 
     actuarially sound or that the interests of producers are not 
     adequately protected.''.
       ``(e) Payment of Portion of Premium by Corporation.--
       ``(1) In general.--For the purpose of encouraging the 
     broadest possible participation of producers in the 
     catastrophic risk protection provided under subsection (b) 
     and the buy-up coverage provided under subsection (c), the 
     Corporation shall pay a part of the premium in the amounts 
     provided in this subsection.
       ``(2) Amount of payment.--The amount of the premium to be 
     paid by the Corporation shall be as follows:
       ``(A) In the case of catastrophic risk protection, the 
     amount shall be equivalent to the premium established for 
     catastrophic risk protection under subsection (d)(2)(A).
       ``(B) In the case of coverage below 65 percent of the 
     recorded or appraised average yield indemnified at 100 
     percent of the expected market price, or an equivalent 
     coverage, but greater than 50 percent of the recorded or 
     appraised average yield indemnified at 100 percent of the 
     expected market price, or an equivalent coverage, the amount 
     shall be equivalent to the amount of premium established for 
     catastrophic risk protection coverage and the amount of 
     operating and administrative expenses established under 
     subsection (d)(2)(B).
       ``(C) In the case of coverage equal to or greater than 65 
     percent of the recorded or appraised average yield 
     indemnified at 100 percent of the expected market price, or 
     an equivalent coverage, on an individual or area basis, the 
     amount shall be equivalent to an amount equal to the premium 
     established for 50 percent loss in yield indemnified at 75 
     percent of the expected market price and the amount of 
     operating and administrative expenses established under 
     subsection (d)(2)(C).
       ``(3) State subsidy authorized.--The Board may enter into 
     agreements with any State or agency of a State under which 
     the State or agency may pay to the approved insurance 
     provider an additional premium subsidy to further reduce the 
     portion of the premium paid by producers in the State.
       ``(f) Eligibility Requirements.--
       ``(1) Persons eligible.--Except as otherwise provided in 
     this title, no producer may be denied insurance under this 
     section if the producer meets the definition of person, as 
     defined by the Secretary. In the case of plans of insurance 
     under this title other than catastrophic risk protection, the 
     definition of person shall include a producer who is over 18 
     years of age or older and has a bona fide insurable interest 
     in a crop as an owner, owner-operator, landlord, tenant, or 
     sharecropper.
       ``(2) Sales closing date.--A producer who desires to obtain 
     catastrophic risk protec- 

[[Page 1504]]

     tion under subsection (b) or buy-up coverage under subsection 
     (c) for a crop shall submit an application by the sales 
     closing date for the crop. The Corporation shall establish 
     sales closing dates to maximize convenience to producers in 
     obtaining benefits under commodity price support and 
     production adjustment programs of the Department whenever 
     feasible; except that, in establishing such dates, the 
     Corporation shall ensure that the goal of actuarial soundness 
     for the crop insurance program under this title is met. 
     Beginning with the 1995 crop year, the Corporation shall 
     establish for each insurable crop a sales closing date that 
     is 30 days earlier than the corresponding sales closing date 
     that was established for the 1994 crop year.
       ``(3) Records and reporting.--To obtain catastrophic risk 
     protection under subsection (b) or buy-up coverage under 
     subsection (c), a producer shall--
       ``(A) provide, to the extent required by the Corporation, 
     records acceptable to the Corporation of historical acreage 
     and production of the crops for which the insurance is sought 
     or accept a yield determined by the Corporation; and
       ``(B) report acreage planted and prevented from planting by 
     the designated acreage reporting date for that crop and 
     location as established by the Corporation.
       ``(4) Limitation on multiple benefits for same loss.--If a 
     producer who is eligible to receive benefits under 
     catastrophic risk protection under subsection (b) or 
     noninsured crop disaster assistance under section 519 is also 
     eligible to receive assistance for the same loss under any 
     other program administered by the Secretary, the producer 
     shall be required to elect whether to receive benefits under 
     this title or under such other program, but not both. A 
     producer who purchases buy-up coverage under subsection (c) 
     may also receive assistance for the same loss under other 
     programs administered by the Secretary, except that the 
     amount received for the loss under the buy-up coverage 
     together with the amount received under such other programs 
     may not exceed the amount of the producer's actual loss.
       ``(g) Yield Coverage Determinations.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Corporation shall implement crop 
     insurance underwriting rules that ensure that yield coverage, 
     as specified in this subsection, is provided to eligible 
     producers obtaining catastrophic risk protection under 
     subsection (b) or buy-up coverage under subsection (c).
       ``(2) Individual yield basis.--
       ``(A) Actual production history.--The Corporation shall 
     determine yield coverage using the producer's actual 
     production history over a period of not less than the 4 
     previous consecutive crop years and not more than 10 
     consecutive crop years. Subject to subparagraph (B), the 
     yield for insurance purposes for the year for which insurance 
     is sought shall be equal to the average of the producer's 
     actual production history during the period considered.
       ``(B) Assignment of yield.--Except as provided in 
     subparagraphs (C) and (D), if a producer does not submit 
     adequate documentation of production history to determine 
     crop yield under subparagraph (A), the Corporation shall 
     assign to the producer a yield equal to not less than 65 
     percent of the transitional yield of the producer (adjusted 
     to reflect actual production reflected in the records 
     acceptable to the Corporation for continuous years), as 
     specified in regulations issued by the Corporation based on 
     production history requirements.
       ``(C) Pilot program of assigned yields for new producers.--
       ``(i) Program required.--For each of the 1995 and 1996 crop 
     years, the Corporation shall carry out a pilot program to 
     assign to eligible new producers higher assigned yields than 
     would otherwise be assigned to such producers under 
     subparagraph (B). The Corporation shall include in the pilot 
     program 30 counties that are determined by the Corporation to 
     be adequate to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the 
     feasibility, effectiveness, and demand among new producers 
     for increased assigned yields.
       ``(ii) Increased assigned yields.--In the case of an 
     eligible new producer participating in the pilot program, the 
     Corporation shall assign to the new producer a yield equal to 
     not less than 110 percent of the transitional yield otherwise 
     established by the Corporation.
       ``(iii) Eligible new producer.--The Secretary shall 
     establish a definition of new producer for purposes of 
     determining eligibility to participate in the pilot program.
       ``(D) Alternative assigned yields for producers of feed or 
     forage.--
       ``(i) Feed or forage yields.--For the first crop year for 
     which an eligible producer described in clause (ii) obtains 
     catastrophic risk protection under subsection (b) or buy-up 
     coverage under subsection (c) for a feed or forage crop, the 
     Corporation shall assign to the producer a yield equal to not 
     less than 80 percent of the transitional yield established by 
     the Corporation (adjusted to reflect the actual production 
     history of the producer) if the producer does not provide 
     satisfactory evidence of the yield under subparagraph (A). 
     For not more than three additional years, the Corporation 
     shall provide the producer with a yield based on the greater 
     of--

       ``(I) the producer's actual production history for the 
     preceding year (or years if available); and
       ``(II) the assigned yield determined under this clause.

       ``(ii) Eligible producers.--An eligible producer referred 
     to in clause (i) is a producer that, as determined by the 
     Secretary--

       ``(I) grows the insured feed or forage crop primarily for 
     on-farm use in a livestock, dairy, or poultry operation; and
       ``(II) derives over 50 percent of the producer's gross farm 
     income from the livestock, dairy, or poultry operation.

       ``(iii) Termination of authority.--The authority provided 
     by this subparagraph shall apply only during the 1995 through 
     1998 crop years.
       ``(3) Area yield basis.--The Corporation may offer a crop 
     insurance plan based on an area yield that allows an insured 
     producer to qualify for an indemnity if a loss occurs in an 
     area, as specified by the Corporation, in which the farm of 
     the producer is located. Under an area yield plan, an insured 
     producer shall be allowed to select the level of area 
     production at which an indemnity will be paid consistent with 
     the terms and conditions established by the Corporation.
       ``(4) Commodity-by-commodity basis.--A producer may choose 
     between either individual yield or area yield coverage, where 
     available, on a commodity-by-commodity basis.''.
       (b) Conforming Amendments.--
       (1) Repeal of existing crop insurance yield coverage.--
     Section 508A of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 
     1508A) is repealed.
       (2) Preemption.--Section 511 of such Act (7 U.S.C. 1511) is 
     amended by adding at the end the following sentence: ``The 
     Corporation's contracts of insurance and the contracts of 
     insurance reinsured by the Corporation shall be exempt from 
     taxation imposed by any State, municipality, or local taxing 
     authority.''.
       (3) Persons under 21 years of age.--Section 520 of such Act 
     (7 U.S.C. 1520) is repealed.

     of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508), as 
     redesignated by section 6(a)(2), is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (1), by striking ``subsection (a)'' and 
     inserting ``subsection (c)''; and
       (2) by striking paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) and inserting 
     the following new paragraphs:
       ``(2) Submission of policies.--A policy or other material 
     submitted to the Board under this subsection may be prepared 
     without regard to the limitations contained in this title, 
     including the requirements concerning the levels of coverage 
     and rates and the requirement that a price level for each 
     commodity insured must equal the expected market price for 
     the commodity as established by the Board. In the case of 
     such a policy, the payment by the Corporation of a portion of 
     the premium of the policy may not exceed the amount that 
     would otherwise be authorized under subsection (e).
       ``(3) Review and approval by the board.--A policy or other 
     material submitted to the Board under this subsection shall 
     be reviewed by the Board and, if the Board finds that the 
     interests of producers are adequately protected and that any 
     premiums charged to such producers are actuarially 
     appropriate, shall be approved by the Board for reinsurance 
     and for sale to producers as an additional choice at 
     actuarially appropriate rates and under appropriate terms and 
     conditions. The Corporation may enter into more than one 
     reinsurance agreement with the private insurance provider 
     simultaneously to facilitate the offering of such new 
     policies.
       ``(4) Guidelines for submission and review.--The 
     Corporation shall issue regulations to establish guidelines 
     for the submission and Board review of policies or other 
     material submitted to the Board under this subsection. At a 
     minimum, the guidelines shall ensure the following:
       ``(A) Proposals submitted to the Board under this 
     subsection shall be considered as confidential commercial or 
     financial information for purposes of section 552(b)(4) of 
     title 5, United States Code, until approved by the Board. 
     Proposals disapproved by the Board shall remain confidential 
     commercial or financial information.
       ``(B) The Board shall provide an applicant with the 
     opportunity to present the proposal to the Board in person if 
     the applicant so desires.
       ``(C) The Board shall provide an applicant with 
     notification of intent to disapprove a proposal not later 
     than 30 days prior to taking such action. An applicant that 
     receives such notification may modify such application, and 
     such modification shall be considered an original application 
     for purposes of this paragraph.
       ``(D) Specific guidelines shall deal with the timing of 
     submission of proposals under this subsection and timely 
     consideration by the Board so that any approved proposal may 
     be made available to all persons reinsured by the Corporation 
     in a manner permitting them to participate, if they so 
     desire, in offering such a proposal in the first crop year in 
     which it is approved by the Board for reinsurance, premium 
     subsidy, or other support offered by this title.
       ``(5) Required publication.--Any policies, provisions of 
     policies, and rates approved under this subsection shall be 
     published as a notice in the Federal Register and made 
     available to all persons contracting with or reinsured by the 
     Corporation under the same terms and conditions as between 
     the Corporation and the person originally submitting the 
     policy or other material.''.

     Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508) is further 
     amended--

     (l) and (m), respectively; and
       (2) inserting after subsection (i), as redesignated by

       ``(j) Claims for Losses.--
       ``(1) In general.--Under rules prescribed by the 
     Corporation, the Corporation may provide for adjustment and 
     payment of claims for losses. The rules prescribed by the 
     Corporation shall establish standards to ensure that all 
     claims for losses are adjusted, to the extent practicable, in 
     a uniform and timely manner.
       ``(2) Denial of claims.--
       ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), if a claim 
     for indemnity is denied by the Corporation, an action on the

     only in the United States district court for the district in 
     which the insured farm is located.
       ``(B) Statute of limitations.--A suit on the claim may be 
     brought not later than 1 year after the date on which written 
     notice of denial of the claim is provided to the claimant.

     private insurance providers with indemnification, including 
     costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the private 
     insurance provider, due to errors or omissions on the part of 
     the Corporation.
       ``(k) Reinsurance.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     this title, the Corporation shall, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, provide reinsurance to insurers approved by the 
     Corporation that insure producers of any agricultural

     Corporation. Such reinsurance shall be provided upon such 
     terms and conditions as the Board may determine to be 
     consistent with subsections (b) and (c) and sound reinsurance 
     principles. The Corporation's reinsurance agreements with the 
     reinsured companies shall require the reinsured companies to 
     bear a sufficient share of any potential loss under such 
     agreement so as to ensure that the reinsured company will 
     sell and service policies of insurance in a sound and prudent 
     manner, taking into consideration the financial condition of 
     the reinsured companies and the availability of private 
     reinsurance.''.
       (c) Cross References.--
       (1) Claims for losses.--Section 506(d) of the Federal Crop 
     Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1506(d)) is amended in the first

       ``(4) Revenue limitation.--A person who has qualifying 
     gross revenues in excess of $2,000,000 annually, as 
     determined by the Secretary, shall not be eligible to receive 
     any noninsured crop disaster assistance payments. For 
     purposes of this section, the term `qualifying gross 
     revenues' means--
       ``(A) if a majority of the person's gross revenue is 
     received from farming, ranching, and forestry operations, the 
     gross revenue from the person's farming, ranching, and 
     forestry operations; and
       ``(B) if less than a majority of the person's gross revenue 
     is received from farming, ranching, and forestry operations, 
     the person's gross revenue from all sources.
       ``(c) Loss Requirements.--
       ``(1) Required area loss.--A producer of an eligible crop 
     shall not receive noninsured crop disaster assistance unless 
     the average yield for that crop, or an equivalent measure in 
     the event yield data are not available, in an area falls 
     below 65 percent of the expected area yield, as established 
     by the Corporation.
       ``(2) Prevented planting.--Subject to paragraph (1), the 
     Corporation shall make a prevented planting noninsured crop 
     disaster assistance payment if the producer is prevented from 
     planting more than 35 percent of the acreage intended for the 
     eligible crop because of drought, flood, or other natural 
     disaster, as determined by the Secretary.
       ``(3) Reduced yields.--Subject to paragraph (1), the 
     Corporation shall make a reduced yield noninsured crop 
     disaster assistance payment if the total quantity of the 
     eligible crop that a producer is able to harvest on any farm 
     is, because of drought, flood, or other natural disaster as 
     determined by the Secretary, less than 50 percent of the 
     expected individual yield for the crop, as determined by the 
     Corporation, factored for the producer's interest for the 
     crop.
       ``(d) Payments.--
       ``(1) Reduced yields.--If the producer is eligible for 
     reduced yield noninsured crop disaster assistance, payments 
     shall be made for farm losses in excess of 50 percent of the 
     established farm yield for the eligible crop indemnified at 
     60 percent of the average market price for that crop, or a 
     comparable coverage as determined by the Corporation. Any 
     eligible crop that is produced with significant and variable, 
     post-planting expenses, the payment shall be reduced to 
     reflect reduced production costs and harvesting costs if the 
     crop is not harvested.
       ``(2) Prevented planting.--If the producer is eligible for 
     a prevented planting payment under this section, the amount 
     paid to the producer on a claim under this section may 
     reflect a reduction that is proportional to the out-of-pocket 
     expenses that are not incurred by the producer as a result of 
     not planting, growing, or harvesting the crop for which the 
     claim is made, as determined by the Corporation.
       ``(e) Yield Determinations.--
       ``(1) Establishment.--The Corporation shall establish farm 
     yields for purposes of providing noninsured crop disaster 
     assistance under this section.
       ``(2) Actual production history.--The Corporation shall 
     determine yield coverage using the producer's actual 
     production history over a period of not less than the 4 
     previous consecutive crop years and not more than 10 
     consecutive crop years. Subject to paragraph (3), the yield 
     for the year in which noninsured crop disaster assistance is 
     sought shall be equal to the average of the producer's actual 
     production history during the period considered.
       ``(3) Assignment of yield.--If a producer does not submit 
     adequate documentation of production history to determine a 
     crop yield under paragraph (2), the Corporation shall assign 
     to the producer a yield equal to not less than 65 percent of 
     the transitional yield of the producer (adjusted to reflect 
     actual production reflected in the records acceptable to the 
     Corporation for continuous years), as specified in 
     regulations issued by the Corporation based on production 
     history requirements.
       ``(4) Prohibition on assigned yields in certain counties.--
     If the acreage of a crop in a county has increased by more 
     than 100 percent since the 1987 crop year, a producer who 
     produces that crop on a farm located in that county may not 
     obtain an assigned yield under paragraph (3). Instead, the 
     producer must provide detailed documentation of production 
     costs, acres planted, and yield (as required by the 
     Corporation) to become eligible for a noninsured assistance 
     payment.
       ``(5) Limitation on receipt of subsequent assigned yield.--
     A producer who receives an assigned yield for the current 
     year of a natural disaster because required production 
     records were not submitted to the local office of the 
     Department shall not be eligible for an assigned yield for 
     the year of the next natural disaster unless the required 
     production records of the previous 1 or more years (as 
     applicable) are provided to the local office.
       ``(6) Yield variations due to different farming 
     practices.--The Corporation shall ensure that noninsured crop 
     disaster assistance accurately reflects significant yield 
     variations due to different farming practices, such as 
     between irrigated and nonirrigated acreage.
       ``(f) Payment of Losses.--Payments for noninsured crop 
     disaster assistance losses under this section shall be made 
     from the insurance fund established under section 516. Such 
     losses shall not be included in calculating the premiums 
     charged to producers for insurance under section 508.
       ``(g) Payment Limitations.--The total amount of payments 
     that a person shall be entitled to receive annually under 
     this section may not exceed $100,000. For purposes of 
     applying this limitation, the Secretary shall issue 
     regulations defining the term `person' that shall conform, to 
     the extent practicable, to the regulations defining `person' 
     issued under section 1001 of the Food Security Act of 1985 (7 
     U.S.C. 1308).''.

       (1) Existing emergency crop loss assistance program.--

     SEC. 13. GAO CROP INSURANCE PROVIDER STUDY.

       (a) The General Accounting Office shall, within 2 years of 
     enactment, investigate the contractual relationships between 
     the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and approved insurance 
     providers to determine the quality, costs and efficiency of 
     the provision of multiperil crop insurance to producers of 
     agricultural commodities covered under the Federal Crop 
     Insurance Act. The study shall be completed in two parts. The 
     first, to be completed within one year of enactment, shall 
     examine the currently available data to make the 
     determinations required by this section. The second part 
     shall examine the changes that occur because of the expansion 
     of the program as participation increases.
       (b) This study shall include, but not be limited to, an 
     investigation of providers' actual cost of delivery of 
     multiperil crop insurance for which providers receive 
     reimbursement from the Corporation, cost differences for 
     different provider firm sizes, and changes in cost resulting 
     from the expansion of the program. The study shall also 
     compare delivery costs of multiperil crop insurance to other 
     insurance coverage that the provider may sell and identify 
     any cross-subsidization from federally reimbursed delivery to 
     delivery costs of other insurance coverage.
       (c) The study shall assess, to the extent practicable, 
     alternative methods of reimbursing delivery costs to 
     providers. In addition, the study shall identify unnecessary 
     expenditures, if any, required by the Corporation for 
     compliance and program integrity.
       (d) In addition, the study shall include, but not be 
     limited to, the provisions of the standard reinsurance 
     agreement between the Corporation and approved providers, 
     including the risk transferred to the Corporation under the 
     terms of the agreement, the return on providers' capital, a 
     determination of the return on capital relative to 
     differences in provider firm size, and a determination of the 
     return on providers' capital in multiperil crop insurance 
     relative to other insurance coverage.
       (e) The study shall assess, to the extent practicable, the 
     potential for provider firm concentration in the multiperil 
     crop insurance industry and any economic distortions that 
     might occur from such concentration.
       (f) In conducting this study, the General Accounting Office 
     shall maintain the privacy of provider proprietary 
     information. The General Accounting Office shall have full 
     powers to subpoena any required information from any provider 
     firm.

     aviation fuel for purposes other than capital or operating 
     costs of the airport or the local airports system or other

     carriers and foreign air carriers providing foreign air 
     transportation (and the impact of such withdrawal on general 
     aviation and military aviation) and whether slots will become 
     available to meet the needs of air carriers and foreign air

     SEC. 525. NORTH KOREA.

       (a) Findings.--(1) President Clinton stated in November 
     1993 that it is the official policy of the United States that 
     North Korea cannot be allowed to become a nuclear power.
       (2) The United States seeks to persuade North Korea, 
     through negotiations, the imposition of sanctions, or other 
     means, to act in accordance with its freely undertaken 
     obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
     Nuclear Weapons and to abandon its efforts to develop nuclear 
     weapons.
       (3) North Korea has repeatedly threatened to withdraw from 
     the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, has 
     resisted efforts of the International Atomic Energy Agency to 
     conduct effective inspections of its nuclear program, and has 
     stated that it would consider the imposition of economic 
     sanctions as an act of war and has threatened retaliatory 
     action.
       (4) The North Korean Government has constructed and has 
     operated a reprocessing facility at Yongbyon solely designed 
     to convert spent nuclear fuel into plutonium with which to 
     make nuclear weapons. Further, the existence of this facility 
     and the development of these weapons gravely threaten 
     security in the region and increases the likelihood of 
     worldwide nuclear terrorism.
       (5) The Secretary of Defense stated that the United States 
     must act on the assumption that there will be some increase 
     in the risk of war if sanctions are imposed on North Korea.
       (6) It is incumbent on the United States to take all 
     necessary and prudent action to act together with the 
     Republic of Korea to ensure the preparedness of United States 
     and Republic of Korea forces to repel as quickly as possible 
     any attack from North Korea and to protect the safety and 
     security of United States and Republic of Korea forces, as 
     well as the safety and security of the civilian population of 
     the peninsula.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the United States should immediately take all necessary 
     and prudent actions to enhance the preparedness and safety of

     repel an attack from North Korea.

     SEC. 526. SENSE OF SENATE ON FINAL REGULATIONS UNDER CIVIL 
                   RIGHTS ACT OF 1964.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the liberties protected by our Constitution include 
     religious liberty protected by the first amendment;
       (2) citizens of the United States profess the beliefs of 
     almost every conceivable religion;
       (3) Congress has historically protected religious 
     expression even from governmental action not intended to be 
     hostile to religion;
       (4) the Supreme Court has written that ``the free exercise 
     of religion means, first and foremost, the right to believe 
     and profess whatever religious doctrine one desires'';
       (5) the Supreme Court has firmly settled that under our 
     Constitution the public expression of ideas may not be 
     prohibited merely because the content of the ideas is 
     offensive to some;
       (6) Congress enacted the Religious Freedom Restoration Act 
     of 1993 to restate and make clear again our intent and 
     position that religious liberty is and should forever be 
     granted protection from unwarranted and unjustified 
     government intrusions and burdens;
       (7) the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has written 
     proposed guidelines to title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 
     1964, published in the Federal Register on October 1, 1993, 
     that may result in the infringement of religious liberty;
       (8) such guidelines do not appropriately resolve issues 
     related to religious liberty and religious expression in the 
     workplace;
       (9) properly drawn guidelines for the determination of 
     religious harassment should provide appropriate guidance to 
     employers and employees and assist in the continued 
     preservation of religious liberty as guaranteed by the first 
     amendment;
       (10) the Commission states in its proposed guidelines that 
     it retains wholly separate guidelines for the determination 
     of sexual harassment because the Commission believes that 
     sexual harassment raises issues about human interaction that 
     are to some extent unique in comparison to other harassment 
     and may warrant separate treatment; and
       (11) the subject of religious harassment also raises issues 
     about human interaction that are to some extent unique in 
     comparison to other harassment.
       (b) It is the sense of the Senate that, for purposes of 
     issuing final regulations under title VII of the Civil Rights 
     Act of 1964 in connection with the proposed guidelines 
     published by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on 
     October 1, 1993 (58 Fed. Reg. 51266)--
       (1) the category of religion should be withdrawn from the 
     proposed guidelines at this time;
       (2) any new guidelines for the determination of religious 
     harassment should be drafted so as to make explicitly clear 
     that symbols or expressions of religious belief consistent 
     with the first amendment and the Religious Freedom 
     Restoration Act of 1993 are not to be restricted and do not 
     constitute proof of harassment;
       (3) the Commission should hold public hearings on such new 
     proposed guidelines; and
       (4) the Commission should receive additional public comment 
     before issuing similar new regulations.

Para. 92.17  support mexico's electoral reform

  Mr. TORRICELLI moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 250); as amended: 

       Whereas the United States and Mexico share a common border;
       Whereas the people of the United States and the people of 
     Mexico have extensive cultural and historical ties that bind 
     together families and communities across national boundaries;
       Whereas a close relationship between the United States and 
     Mexico, based on mutual respect and understanding, is 
     important to the people of both nations;
       Whereas the North American Free Trade Agreement, which is 
     designed to increase trade, promote expanded economic 
     activity, and enhance cooperation on issues of mutual 
     interest among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, entered 
     into force on January 1, 1994;
       Whereas the implementation of the North American Free Trade 
     Agreement presents new opportunities for an even closer 
     relationship among the United States, Canada, and Mexico;
       Whereas this relationship will be furthered by free and 
     fair elections in Mexico on August 21, 1994;
       Whereas Mexican leaders from across the political spectrum 
     and representatives of civic society recognized the need for 
     political and electoral reform and have taken steps to 
     achieve these goals;
       Whereas recent reforms being implemented in Mexico seek to 
     overcome previous assertions of electoral irregularities 
     which have been highlighted by civil demonstrations and 
     political unrest;
       Whereas in January 1994, Mexico's major political parties 
     joined together in an agreement, known as the Agreement for 
     Peace, Democracy, and Justice, designed to reform Mexico's 
     electoral system and to establish procedures for free and 
     fair elections;
       Whereas the Federal Electoral Institute has invited 
     representatives of the United Nations to provide technical 
     assistance and financing to domestic Mexican election 
     observers who request this support to help foster their 
     independence, nonpartisanship, and objectivity; and
       Whereas the spirit of the North American Free Trade 
     Agreement facilitates cooperation in achieving high standards 
     of democracy: Now, therefore be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) expresses its support for efforts undertaken by the 
     Government of Mexico, the major political parties, and civic 
     groups to reform Mexico's political and electoral processes 
     and for their ongoing efforts to ensure free and fair 
     elections;
       (2) welcomes steps taken in recent months by the Mexican 
     Government and the nation's political parties to increase the 
     impartiality of the Federal electoral authorities, review the 
     accuracy of the voter registry list, ensure fair media 
     access, and reform campaign finance practices, in accordance 
     with the commitments enumerated in the January 1994 Agreement 
     for Peace, Democracy, and

[[Page 1524]]

     Justice, and encourages continued progress on electoral 
     reform;
       (3) applauds the invitation extended by the Government of 
     Mexico, with the concurrence of the major political parties 
     and concerned members of civic society, to representatives of 
     the United Nations to provide technical assistance and 
     financing to domestic Mexican election observers, and 
     encourages representatives of the United Nations to work 
     closely and directly with Mexican observers during the 
     electoral process;
       (4) takes note of the efforts of the Mexican domestic 
     observer groups to encourage citizen participation throughout 
     the electoral process and to contribute to the success of 
     this process by serving as monitors during the August 21, 
     1994, presidential and congressional elections;
       (5) welcomes the opportunity made available by the Mexican 
     Congress for international visitors to be present during and 
     to witness such elections; and
       (6) expresses the hope that the efforts of the Government 
     of Mexico, the major political parties, and concerned members 
     of civic society to reform the electoral process will be 
     successful, and lead to elections that are accepted by all 
     parties as fair and valid.

     resolution (H.J. Res. 373) disapproving the extension of 
     nondiscriminatory treatment (most-favored-nation treatment) 
     to the products of the People's Republic of China, and for 
     other purposes. All points of order against the joint 
     resolution and against its consideration are waived. The 
     joint resolution shall be debatable for eighty minutes 
     equally divided and controlled by Representative Solomon of 
     New York and Representative Gibbons of Florida or their 
     designees. Pursuant to sections 152 and 153 of the Trade Act 
     of 1974, the previous question shall be considered as ordered 
     on the joint resolution to final passage without intervening 
     motion. The provisions of sections 152 and 153 of the Trade 
     Act of 1974 shall not apply to any other joint resolution 
     disapproving the extension of most-favored-nation treatment 
     to the People's Republic of China for the remainder of the 
     One Hundred Third Congress.
       Sec. 2. After disposition of the joint resolution (H.J. 
     Res. 373), 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. 4590) to provide conditions for renewing 
     nondiscriminatory (most-favored-nation) treatment for the 
     People's Republic of China. The first reading of the bill 
     shall be dispensed with. All points of order against the bill 
     and against its consideration are waived. General debate 
     shall be confined to the bill and the amendments made in 
     order by this resolution and shall not exceed one hour 
     equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means. After 
     general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment 
     under the five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. 
     No amendment shall be in order except those printed in the 
     report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
     resolution. Each amendment 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. All points of order 
     against the amendments printed in the report are waived. If 
     more than one of the amendments printed in the report is

Para. 93.11  mfn for china

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana, pursuant to House 
Resolution 509 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. 4590) to provide conditions for renewing 
nondiscriminatory (most-favored-nation) treatment for the people's 
Republic of China.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana, by unanimous 
consent, designated Mr. SHARP as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole; 
and after some time spent therein,

Para. 93.12  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. HAMILTON:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``United States China Policy 
     Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The economic, social, political, and cultural welfare 
     of the people of China, who constitute one-fifth of the 
     world's population, is a matter of global humanitarian 
     concern.
       (2) By virtue of its size, its economic vitality, its 
     status as a nuclear power, and its role as a permanent member 
     of the United Nations Security Council, China plays a 
     significant role in world affairs.
       (3) The United States policy toward China involves 
     balancing multiple interests, including promoting human 
     rights and democracy, securing China's strategic cooperation 
     in Asia and the United Nations, protecting United States 
     national security interests, controlling the proliferation of 
     weapons of mass destruction, promoting a peaceful and 
     democratic transition in Hong Kong, and expanding United 
     States economic contact with China.
       (4) United States policy toward China must include as a key 
     objective the promotion of internationally recognized human 
     rights. Specific priorities and methods should be appropriate 
     to the circumstances. Engagement with China rather than its 
     isolation is more likely to foster United States interests.
       (5) The opening of China to the West, the adoption of free 
     market economic reforms, the emergence of a strong and 
     entrepreneurial economy that ensures the rise of a Chinese 
     middle class; all have led to expanded individual freedom, a 
     weakening of state control over personal expression, access 
     to the media in the United States, Hong Kong, and the West, 
     and major improvements in living standards for the Chinese 
     people.
       (6) United States policies that encourage economic 
     liberalization and increased contact with the United States 
     and other democracies foster respect for internationally 
     recognized human rights and can contribute to civil and 
     political reform in China.
       (7) The President's policy statement of May 26, 1994, 
     provides a sound framework for expanding and extending the 
     relationship of the United States with China while continuing 
     the commitment of the United States to its historic values. 
     The United States must develop a comprehensive and coherent 
     policy toward China that addresses the complex and fast-
     changing reality in that country and promotes simultaneously 
     the human rights, diplomatic, economic, and security 
     interests of the United States toward China.
       (8) The United States has an interest in a strong, stable, 
     prosperous, and open China whose government contributes to 
     international peace and security and whose actions are 
     consistent with the responsibilities of great power status. 
     Whether those expectations are met will determine the 
     breadth, depth, and tone of the United States-China bilateral 
     relationship.
       (9) Peace and economic progress in East Asia is best 
     assured through a web of cooperative relations among the 
     countries of the region, including China and the United 
     States. The emergence of a militarily powerful China that 
     seeks to dominate East Asia would be regarded as a matter of 
     serious concern by the United States and by other countries 
     in the Asia-Pacific region.
       (10) Yet China's performance has been uneven on a number of 
     issues of concern to the United States. In particular, the 
     Chinese Government has failed to observe internationally 
     recognized human rights. In this regard the Congress makes 
     the following declarations:
       (A) The Chinese Government itself has made commitments to 
     observe universal human rights norms.
       (B) Human rights have universal application and are not 
     solely defined by culture or history.
       (C) Chinese policies of particular concern to the United 
     States are the criminalization of dissent, the inhumane 
     treatment in prisons, and the serious repression in non-Han-
     Chinese areas like Tibet.
       (11) Genuine political stability in China and greater 
     respect for internationally recognized human rights, as well 
     as continued economic growth and stability, will only occur 
     in China as a result of a strengthened legal system (based on 
     the rule of law and property rights), the emergence of a 
     civil society, and the creation of political institutions 
     that are responsive to public opinion and the interests of 
     social groups.
       (12) China has entered a major transition in its political 
     history which will determine the nature of the domestic 
     system, including respect for internationally recognized 
     human rights, and the Chinese Government's foreign policy. 
     The Chinese Government should accelerate the process of 
     reform of all aspects of Chinese society.
       (13) Existing official bilateral and multilateral 
     institutions provide useful venues for engagement with China 
     concerning the rule of law, civil society, respect for 
     internationally recognized human rights, and political 
     institutions that provide humane and effective governance.
       (14) American nongovernmental and business organizations, 
     in their various forms of engagement in China, have 
     contributed in that country to the initial emergence of civil 
     society, the strengthening of the legal system, and the 
     expansion of economic autonomy.

     SEC. 3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED STATES 
                   POLICY.

       Congress affirms the President's policy and makes the 
     following recommendations for the conduct of United States 
     policy toward China:
       (1) The United States should continue a steady and 
     comprehensive policy of pressing for increased Chinese 
     adherence to international norms, especially those concerning 
     internationally recognized human rights.
       (2) Of particular concern to the United States are the 
     following:
       (A) The accounting and release of political prisoners.
       (B) Access to Chinese prisoners by international 
     humanitarian organizations.
       (C) Negotiations between the Chinese Government and the 
     Dalai Lama on Tibetan issues.
       (3) The official dialogue with the Chinese Government on 
     human rights issues should continue and be intensified.
       (4) As he considers appropriate, the President should use 
     other available modes of official interaction with China to 
     pursue initiatives that are relevant to promoting increased 
     respect for human rights in China.
       (5) The United States should expand broadcasting to China, 
     through the Voice of America and Radio Free Asia.
       (6) The United States should work through available 
     multilateral fora, such as the United Nations Human Rights 
     Commission, to express concerns about human rights in China 
     and to encourage Chinese adherence to, and compliance with, 
     international human rights instruments. At all appro- 

[[Page 1533]]

     priate times, the United States should work toward and 
     support joint actions to address significant problems. In 
     particular, the United States should seek to secure the 
     participation of other governments in overtures to secure the 
     accounting and release of political prisoners, to encourage 
     access to Chinese prisoners by international humanitarian 
     organizations and negotiations between the Chinese Government 
     and the Dalai Lama.
       (7) Where possible, the United States should take further 
     steps to foster in China the rule of law, the creation of a 
     civic society, and the emergence of institutions that provide 
     humane and effective governance.
       (8) To better carry out the recommendation in paragraph 
     (7), the Secretary of State should encourage United States 
     posts in China to increase reporting on the human rights 
     situation, the rule of law, civil society, and other 
     political developments in China, and to increase appropriate 
     contacts with domestic nongovernmental organizations.
       (9) United States non-governmental organizations should 
     continue and expand activities that encourage the rule of 
     law, the emergence of a civic society, and the creation of 
     institutions that provide humane and effective governance.
       (10) When considering the termination of the suspensions of 
     United States Government activities enacted in section 902(a) 
     of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 
     and 1991, the President should explore whether such 
     terminations could be used to elicit specific steps by the 
     Chinese government to enhance respect for internationally 
     recognized human rights or correct abuses of such rights.

     SEC. 4. UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS SUPPORTING HUMAN 
                   RIGHTS IN CHINA.

       (a) Statement of Policy.--Concerning the promotion of human 
     rights in China, it shall be the policy of the United States 
     to promote the following objectives:
       (1) An effective legal system, based on the rule of law.
       (2) Respect for internationally recognized human rights.
       (3) The emergence of civil society.
       (4) The creation of institutions that provide humane and 
     effective governance.
       (b) Factors.--In determining how to carry out the 
     objectives stated in subsection (a), the President should 
     consider the following factors:
       (1) The circumstances under which it is appropriate to 
     provide support to organizations and individuals in China.
       (2) The circumstances under which it is appropriate to 
     provide financial support, including through the following 
     means:
       (A) Directly by the United States Government.
       (B) Through United States nongovernmental organizations 
     which have established a sound record in China.
       (3) The extent to which the objectives of subsection (a) 
     should be promoted through exchanges, technical assistance, 
     grants to organizations, and scholarships for advanced study 
     in the United States.
       (4) How to assure accountability for funds provided by the 
     United States Government.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1995.--
       (1) Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated for 
     education and cultural exchange programs of the United States 
     Information Agency for fiscal year 1995, up to $1,000,000 is 
     authorized to be available for programs to carry out the 
     objectives of subsection (a).
       (2) In addition to such amounts as may otherwise be made 
     available for broadcasting to China for fiscal year 1995, of 
     the amounts authorized to be appropriated for international 
     broadcasting for fiscal year 1995, an additional $5,000,000 
     may be used for broadcasting to China .

     SEC. 5. INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS.

       It is the sense of Congress that, in the event that 
     international humanitarian organizations undertake activities 
     in China related to the treatment of prisoners, the President 
     should make available an additional contribution to those 
     organizations to support such activities.

     SEC. 6. PRINCIPLES TO GOVERN THE ACTIVITIES OF UNITED STATES 
                   BUSINESS IN CHINA.

       (a) In General.--Congress endorses President Clinton's 
     efforts to work with the leaders of the United States 
     business community to develop voluntary principles that could 
     be adapted by United States companies doing business in China 
     to further advance human rights and commends United States 
     companies that have previously adopted such principles or are 
     considering taking such action.
       (b) Other Countries.--Congress urges the President to 
     encourage other governments to adopt similar principles to 
     govern the activities of their business organizations with 
     activities in China.

     SEC. 7. PERIODIC REPORTS.

       Not more than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act and annually for the 2 subsequent years, the 
     President shall submit to the Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives and the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate, a report (in a classified form in 
     whole or in part as necessary) which reviews for the

Para. 93.14  recorded vote

  A recorded vote by electronic device was ordered in the Committee of 
the Whole on the following amendment in the nature of substitute 
submitted by Ms. PELOSI:

     Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``United States-China Act of 
     1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In Executive Order 12850, dated May 28, 1993, the 
     President established conditions for renewing most-favored-
     nation treatment for the People's Republic of China in 1994.
       (2) The Executive order requires that in recommending the 
     extension of most-favored-nation trade status to the People's 
     Republic of China for the 12-month period beginning July 3, 
     1994, the Secretary of State shall not recommend extension 
     unless the Secretary determines that such extension 
     substantially promotes the freedom of emigration objectives 
     contained in section 402 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
     2432) and that China is complying with the 1992 bilateral 
     agreement between the United States and China concerning 
     export to the United States of products made with prison 
     labor.
       (3) The Executive order further requires that in making the 
     recommendation, the Secretary of State shall determine if 
     China has made overall significant progress with respect to--
       (A) taking steps to begin adhering to the Universal 
     Declaration of Human Rights;
       (B) releasing and providing an acceptable accounting for 
     Chinese citizens imprisoned or detained for the nonviolent 
     expression of their political and religious beliefs, 
     including such expressions of beliefs in connection with the 
     Democracy Wall and Tiananmen Square movements;
       (C) ensuring humane treatment of prisoners, and allowing 
     access to prisons by international humanitarian and human 
     rights organizations;
       (D) protecting Tibet's distinctive religious and cultural 
     heritage; and
       (E) permitting international radio and television 
     broadcasts into China.
       (4) The Executive order requires the executive branch to 
     resolutely pursue all legislative and executive actions to 
     ensure that China abides by its commitments to follow fair, 
     nondiscriminatory trade practices in dealing with United 
     States businesses and adheres to the Nuclear Nonproliferation 
     Treaty, the Missile Technology Control Regime guidelines and 
     parameters, and other nonproliferation commitments.
       (5) The Government of the People's Republic of China, a 
     member of the United Nations Security Council obligated to 
     respect and uphold the United Nations charter and Universal 
     Declaration of Human Rights, has over the past year made less 
     than significant progress on human rights. The People's 
     Republic of China has released only a few prominent political 
     prisoners and continues to violate internationally recognized 
     standards of human rights by arbitrary arrests and detention 
     of persons for the nonviolent expression of their political 
     and religious beliefs.
       (6) The Government of the People's Republic of China has 
     not allowed humanitarian and human rights organizations 
     access to prisons.
       (7) The Government of the People's Republic of China has 
     refused to meet with the Dalai Lama, or his representative, 
     to discuss the protection of Tibet's distinctive religious 
     and cultural heritage.
       (8) It continues to be the policy and practice of the 
     Government of the People's Republic of China to control all 
     trade unions and suppress and harass members of the 
     independent labor union movement.
       (9) The Government of the People's Republic of China 
     continues to restrict the activities of accredited 
     journalists.
       (10) The People's Republic of China's defense industrial 
     trading companies and the People's Liberation Army engage in 
     lucrative trade relations with the United States and operate 
     lucrative commercial businesses within the United States. 
     Trade with and investments in the defense industrial trading 
     companies and the People's Liberation Army are contrary to 
     the national security interests of the United States.
       (11) The President has conducted an intensive high-level 
     dialogue with the Government of the People's Republic of 
     China, including meeting with the President of China, in an 
     effort to encourage that government to make significant 
     progress toward meeting the standards contained in the 
     Executive order for continuation of most-favored-nation 
     treatment.
       (12) The Government of the People's Republic of China has 
     not made overall significant progress with respect to the 
     standards contained in the President's Executive Order 12850, 
     dated May 28, 1993.
       (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the Congress that, since 
     the President has recommended the continuation of the waiver 
     under section 402(d) of the Trade Act of 1974 for the 
     People's Republic of China for the 12-month period beginning 
     July 3, 1994, such waiver shall not provide for extension of 
     nondiscriminatory trade treatment to goods that are produced, 
     manufactured, or exported by the People's Liberation Army or 
     Chinese defense industrial trading companies or to 
     nonqualified goods that are produced, manufactured, or 
     exported by state-owned enterprises of the People's Republic 
     of China.

     SEC. 3. LIMITATIONS ON EXTENSION OF NONDISCRIMINATORY 
                   TREATMENT.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law--
       (1) if nondiscriminatory treatment is not granted to the

     (b)(1), nondiscriminatory treatment shall--
       (A) continue to apply to any good that is produced or 
     manufactured by a person that is not a state-owned enterprise 
     of the People's Republic of China, but
       (B) not apply to any good that is produced, manufactured, 
     or exported by a state-owned enterprise of the People's 
     Republic of China,
       (2) if nondiscriminatory treatment is granted to the 
     People's Republic of China for the 12-month period beginning 
     on July 3, 1994, such nondiscriminatory treatment shall not 
     apply to--
       (A) any good that is produced, manufactured, or exported by 
     the People's Liberation Army or a Chinese defense industrial 
     trading company, or
       (B) any nonqualified good that is produced, manufactured, 
     or exported by a state-owned enterprise of the People's 
     Republic of China, and
       (3) in order for nondiscriminatory treatment to be granted 
     to the People's Republic of China, and subsequent to the 
     granting of such nondiscriminatory treatment, the Secretary 
     of the Treasury shall consult with leaders of American 
     businesses having significant trade with or investment in the 
     People's Republic of China, to encourage them to adopt a 
     voluntary code of conduct that--
       (A) follows internationally recognized human rights 
     principles,
       (B) ensures that the employment of Chinese citizens is not 
     discriminatory in terms of sex, ethnic origin, or political 
     belief,
       (C) ensures that no convict, forced, or indentured labor is 
     knowingly used,
       (D) recognizes the rights of workers to freely organize and 
     bargain collectively, and
       (E) discourages mandatory political indoctrination on 
     business premises.
       (b) Disapproval Resolution.--
       (1) In general.--For purposes of this section, the term

     Trade Act of 1974 recommended by the President to the 
     Congress on ______________________ with respect to the 
     People's Republic of China because the Congress does not 
     agree that the People's Republic of China has met the 
     standards described in the President's Executive Order 12850, 
     dated May 28, 1993.'', with the blank space being filled with 
     the appropriate date.
       (2) Applicable rules.--The provisions of sections 153 
     (other than paragraphs (3) and (4) of subsection (b)) and 
     402(d)(2) (as modified by this subsection) of the Trade Act 
     of 1974 shall apply to a resolution described in paragraph 
     (1).
       (c) Determination of State-Owned Enterprises and Chinese 
     Defense Industrial Trading Companies.--
       (1) In general.--Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), not 
     later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall determine which 
     persons are state-owned enterprises of the People's Republic 
     of China and which persons are Chinese defense industrial 
     trading companies for purposes of this Act. The Secretary 
     shall publish a list of such persons in the Federal Register.

       If the President recommends in 1995 that the waiver 
     referred to in section 2 be continued for the People's 
     Republic of China, the President shall state in the document 
     required to be submitted to the Congress by section 402(d) of 
     the Trade Act of 1974, the extent to which the Government of 
     the People's Republic of China has made progress during the 
     period covered by the document, with respect to--
       (1) adhering to the provisions of the Universal Declaration 
     of Human Rights,
       (2) ceasing the exportation to the United States of

     Missile Technology Control Regime, the controls adopted by 
     the Nuclear Suppliers Group, and the controls adopted by the 
     Australia Group.

     waiver in 1995 for the People's Republic of China under 
     section 402(d) of the Trade Act of 1974, the President shall, 
     during the 30-day period beginning on the date that the 
     President would have recommended to the Congress that such a 
     waiver be continued, undertake efforts to ensure that members 
     of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade take a similar 
     action with respect to the People's Republic of China.

  So the amendment in the nature of a substitute was not agreed to.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SKAGGS, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. SHARP, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 509, reported 
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``United States China Policy 
     Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The economic, social, political, and cultural welfare 
     of the people of China, who constitute one-fifth of the 
     world's population, is a matter of global humanitarian 
     concern.
       (2) By virtue of its size, its economic vitality, its 
     status as a nuclear power, and its role as a permanent member 
     of the United Nations Security Council, China plays a 
     significant role in world affairs.
       (3) The United States policy toward China involves 
     balancing multiple interests, including promoting human 
     rights and democracy, securing China's strategic cooperation 
     in Asia and the United Nations, protecting United States 
     national security interests, controlling the proliferation of 
     weapons of mass destruction, promoting a peaceful and 
     democratic transition in Hong Kong, and expanding United 
     States economic contact with China.
       (4) United States policy toward China must include as a key 
     objective the promotion of internationally recognized human 
     rights. Specific priorities and methods should be appropriate 
     to the circumstances. Engagement with China rather than its 
     isolation is more likely to foster United States interests.
       (5) The opening of China to the West, the adoption of free 
     market economic reforms, the emergence of a strong and 
     entrepreneurial economy that ensures the rise of a Chinese 
     middle class; all have led to expanded individual freedom, a 
     weakening of state control over personal expression, access 
     to the media in the United States, Hong Kong, and the West, 
     and major improvements in living standards for the Chinese 
     people.
       (6) United States policies that encourage economic 
     liberalization and increased contact with the United States 
     and other democracies foster respect for internationally 
     recognized human rights and can contribute to civil and 
     political reform in China.
       (7) The President's policy statement of May 26, 1994, 
     provides a sound framework for expanding and extending the 
     relationship of the United States with China while continuing 
     the commitment of the United States to its historic values. 
     The United States must develop a comprehensive and coherent 
     policy toward China that addresses the complex and fast-
     changing reality in that country and promotes simultaneously 
     the human rights, diplomatic, economic, and security 
     interests of the United States toward China.
       (8) The United States has an interest in a strong, stable, 
     prosperous, and open China whose government contributes to 
     international peace and security and whose actions are 
     consistent with the responsibilities of great power status. 
     Whether those expectations are met will determine the 
     breadth, depth, and tone of the United States-China bilateral 
     relationship.
       (9) Peace and economic progress in East Asia is best 
     assured through a web of cooperative relations among the 
     countries of the region, including China and the United 
     States. The emergence of a militarily powerful China that 
     seeks to dominate East Asia would be regarded as a matter of 
     serious concern by the United States and by other countries 
     in the Asia-Pacific region.
       (10) Yet China's performance has been uneven on a number of 
     issues of concern to the United States. In particular, the 
     Chinese Government has failed to observe internationally 
     recognized human rights. In this regard the Congress makes 
     the following declarations:
       (A) The Chinese Government itself has made commitments to 
     observe universal human rights norms.
       (B) Human rights have universal application and are not 
     solely defined by culture or history.
       (C) Chinese policies of particular concern to the United 
     States are the criminalization of dissent, the inhumane 
     treatment in prisons, and the serious repression in non-Han-
     Chinese areas like Tibet.
       (11) Genuine political stability in China and greater 
     respect for internationally recognized human rights, as well 
     as continued economic growth and stability, will only occur 
     in China as a result of a strengthened legal system (based on 
     the rule of law and property rights), the emergence of a 
     civil society, and the creation of political institutions 
     that are responsive to public opinion and the interests of 
     social groups.
       (12) China has entered a major transition in its political 
     history which will determine the nature of the domestic 
     system, including respect for internationally recognized 
     human rights, and the Chinese Government's foreign policy. 
     The Chinese Government should accelerate the process of 
     reform of all aspects of Chinese society.
       (13) Existing official bilateral and multilateral 
     institutions provide useful venues for engagement with China 
     concerning the rule of law, civil society, respect for 
     internationally recognized human rights, and political 
     institutions that provide humane and effective governance.
       (14) American nongovernmental and business organizations, 
     in their various forms of engagement in China, have 
     contributed in that country to the initial emergence of civil 
     society, the strengthening of the legal system, and the 
     expansion of economic autonomy.

     SEC. 3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED STATES 
                   POLICY.

       Congress affirms the President's policy and makes the 
     following recommendations for the conduct of United States 
     policy toward China:
       (1) The United States should continue a steady and 
     comprehensive policy of pressing for increased Chinese 
     adherence to international norms, especially those concerning 
     internationally recognized human rights.
       (2) Of particular concern to the United States are the 
     following:
       (A) The accounting and release of political prisoners.
       (B) Access to Chinese prisoners by international 
     humanitarian organizations.
       (C) Negotiations between the Chinese Government and the 
     Dalai Lama on Tibetan issues.
       (3) The official dialogue with the Chinese Government on 
     human rights issues should continue and be intensified.
       (4) As he considers appropriate, the President should use 
     other available modes of official interaction with China to 
     pursue initiatives that are relevant to promoting increased 
     respect for human rights in China.
       (5) The United States should expand broadcasting to China, 
     through the Voice of America and Radio Free Asia.
       (6) The United States should work through available 
     multilateral fora, such as the United Nations Human Rights 
     Commission, to express concerns about human rights in China 
     and to encourage Chinese adherence to, and compliance with, 
     international human rights instruments. At all appro- 

[[Page 1537]]

     priate times, the United States should work toward and 
     support joint actions to address significant problems. In 
     particular, the United States should seek to secure the 
     participation of other governments in overtures to secure the 
     accounting and release of political prisoners, to encourage 
     access to Chinese prisoners by international humanitarian 
     organizations and negotiations between the Chinese Government 
     and the Dalai Lama.
       (7) Where possible, the United States should take further 
     steps to foster in China the rule of law, the creation of a 
     civic society, and the emergence of institutions that provide 
     humane and effective governance.

     compensation may be paid from a fund of the House of 
     Representatives, the General Counsel of the House of 
     Representatives may provide the respondent with 
     representation.

     dismissal of a claim under section 10(c), a final decision

       (ii) the provisions of section 2348 of title 28, United 
     States Code, on the authority of the Attorney General, shall 
     not apply;

     under section 10(c), a final decision under section 10(g), or 
     an order under section 10(h) if it is determined that the 
     dismissal, decision, or order was--

     the record before the hearing board, the decision of the 
     hearing board, and the order of the hearing board.
       (b) Attorney's Fees.--If a congressional employee is the 
     prevailing party in a proceeding under this section,

     Government bring a civil action in a district court of the 
     United States seeking relief from the alleged violation of 
     law if such a civil action is available under such law. In 
     any such civil action, any party may demand a jury trial.
       (2) Exhaustion requirement.--No civil action may be filed

     Commissioner of Social Security in the exercise of functions 
     vested in such Commissioner under this title and the 
     amendments made thereby (other than functions performed 
     pursuant to 105(a)(2)) shall be subject to judicial review to

     Services with respect to the exercise of such functions 
     immediately preceding the vesting of such functions in such 
     Commissioner, and actions of such Commissioner shall have the

     based on disability, if alcoholism or drug addiction is a 
     contributing factor material to the Secretary's determination 
     that the individual is under a disability, certification of 
     payment of such benefits to a representative payee shall be 
     deemed to serve the interest of such individual under this 
     title. In any case in which such certification is so deemed 
     under this subparagraph to serve the interest of an 
     individual, the Secretary shall include, in such individual's 
     notification of entitlement, a notice that alcoholism or drug 
     addiction is a contributing factor material to the 
     Secretary's determination of such individual's disability and

     certification of payment of such individual's benefits to a 
     representative payee.''.

       (C) 90-day delay in deferral or suspension of benefits for 
     current beneficiaries.--In the case of an individual who, as 
     of 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, has 
     been determined to be under a disability, if alcoholism or 
     drug addiction is a contributing factor material to the 
     determination of the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
     that the individual is under a disability, the Secretary may, 
     notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of section 205(j)(2)(D) 
     of the Social Security Act, make direct payment of benefits 
     to such individual during the 90-day period commencing with 
     the date on which such individual is provided the notice 
     described in subparagraph (D)(ii) of this paragraph, until

     Secretary of Health and Human Services during or before the 
     180-day period following the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, and
       (III) alcoholism or drug addiction is a contributing factor 
     material to the Secretary's determination that the individual 
     is under a disability,

     the amendments made by this paragraph shall apply with 
     respect to benefits paid in months after the month in which 
     such individual is notified by the Secretary in writing that 
     alcoholism or drug addiction is a contributing factor 
     material to the Secretary's determination and that the 
     Secretary is therefore required to make a certification of 
     payment of such individual's benefits to a representative 
     payee.

     benefits through non-cash means, including (but not limited 
     to) vouchers, debit cards, and electronic benefits transfer 
     systems,
       (III) the extent to which child beneficiaries are afflicted 
     by drug addition or alcoholism and ways of addressing such 
     affliction, including the feasibility of requiring treatment, 
     and
       (IV) the extent to which children's representative payees 
     are afflicted by drug addiction or alcoholism, and methods to 
     identify children's representative payees afflicted by drug 
     addition or alcoholism and to ensure that benefits continue 
     to be provided to beneficiaries appropriately.

       (ii) Report.--Not later than December 31, 1995, the 
     Secretary shall transmit to the Committee on Ways and Means 
     of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Finance

     disability, payment of any past-due monthly insurance 
     benefits under this title to which such individual is 
     entitled shall be made in any month only to the extent that

     due benefits referred to in subparagraph (A) are paid, the 
     amount of the limitation provided in subparagraph (A) shall 
     be increased by the amount of any debts of such individual

     termination month with respect to such entitlement. Such 
     individual whose entitlement is terminated under this

     disability, the determination of disability was made by the 
     Secretary of Health and Human Services during or before the 
     180-day period following the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, and alcoholism or drug addiction is a contributing 
     factor material to the Secretary's determination that the 
     individual is under a disability--

     months after the month in which such individual is notified 
     by the Secretary in writing that alcoholism or drug addiction 
     is a contributing factor material to the Secretary's 
     determination and that such individual is therefore required 
     to comply with the provisions of section 225(c) of such Act.

     Security Act (as amended by subsection (b)) is available, as 
     determined under regulations of the Secretary of Health and 
     Human Services, and the Secretary notifies such individual of

     title. In any case in which such payment is so deemed under 
     this subclause to serve the interest of an individual, the 
     Secretary shall include, in the individual's notification of

     disability for months beginning after 180 days after the date

       (F) Transition rules for current beneficiaries.--In any 
     case in which an individual is eligible for supplemental 
     security income benefits under title XVI of the Social 
     Security Act by reason of disability, the determination of 
     disability was made by the Secretary of Health and Human 
     Services during or before the 180-day period following the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, and alcoholism or drug 
     addiction is a contributing factor material to the 
     Secretary's determination that the individual is disabled, 
     for purposes of section 1611(e)(3)(A)(v) of the Social 
     Security Act (added by the amendment made by subparagraph (A) 
     of this paragraph)--

     shall take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (c) Demonstration Projects.--

     shall develop and carry out demonstration projects designed 
     to explore innovative referral, monitoring, and treatment

     benefits or child's, widow's, or widower's insurance benefits 
     based on disability under title II of the Social Security 
     Act, and
       (B) individuals who are eligible for supplemental security 
     income benefits under title XVI of such Act based solely on 
     disability,

     in cases in which alcoholism or drug addiction is a 
     contributing factor material to the Secretary's determination 
     that individuals are under a disability. The Secretary may 
     include in such demonstration projects individuals who are 
     not described in either subparagraph (A) or subparagraph (B) 
     if the inclusion of such individuals is necessary to 
     determine the efficacy of various monitoring, referral, and 
     treatment approaches for individuals described in 
     subparagraph (A) or (B).
       (2) Scope.--The demonstration projects developed under 
     paragraph (1) shall be of sufficient scope and shall be 
     carried out on a wide enough scale to permit a thorough 
     evaluation of the alternative approaches under consideration 
     while giving assurance that the results derived from the 
     projects will obtain generally in the operation of the 
     programs involved without committing such programs to the 
     adoption of any particular system either locally or 
     nationally.
       (3) Final report.--The Secretary shall submit to the 
     Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives

     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of

     budgeting. 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 one hour, with thirty minutes equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on Rules and thirty minutes equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on Government Operations. 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 Rules now printed in the bill. The committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
     as read. No other amendment 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, may be offered only by a Member designated in

     opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. All points 
     of order against the amendments printed in the report are 
     waived. If more than one of the amendments printed in the 
     report is adopted, only the last to be adopted shall be 
     considered as finally adopted and reported to the House. 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 finally 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 any amendment thereto to final passage without 
     intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or 
     without instructions.

     SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.

       Section 41 (7 U.S.C. 2401) is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 41. DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.

       ``(a) Definitions.--As used in this Act:
       ``(1) Basic seed.--The term `basic seed' means the seed 
     planted to produce certified or commercial seed.
       ``(2) Breeder.--The term `breeder' means the person who 
     directs the final breeding creating a variety or who 
     discovers and develops a variety. If the actions are 
     conducted by an agent on behalf of a principal, the 
     principal, rather than the agent, shall be considered the 
     breeder. The term does not include a person who redevelops or 
     rediscovers a variety the existence of which is publicly 
     known or a matter of common knowledge.
       ``(3) Essentially derived variety.--
       ``(A) In general.--The term `essentially derived variety' 
     means a variety that--
       ``(i) is predominantly derived from another variety 
     (referred to in this paragraph as the `initial variety') or 
     from a variety that is predominantly derived from the initial 
     variety, while retaining the expression of the essential 
     characteristics that result from the genotype or combination 
     of genotypes of the initial variety;
       ``(ii) is clearly distinguishable from the initial variety; 
     and
       ``(iii) except for differences that result from the act of 
     derivation, conform to the initial variety in the expression 
     of the essential characteristics that result from the 
     genotype or combination of genotypes of the initial variety.
       ``(b) Methods.--An essentially derived variety may be 
     obtained by the selection of a natural or induced mutant or 
     of a somaclonal variant, the selection of a variant 
     individual from plants of the initial variety, backcrossing, 
     transformation by genetic engineering, or other method.
       ``(4) Kind.-- The term `kind' means one or more related 
     species or subspecies singly or collectively known by one 
     common name, such as soybean, flax, or radish.
       ``(5) Seed.--The term `seed', with respect to a tuber 
     propagated variety, means the tuber or the part of the tuber 
     used for propagation.
       ``(6) Sexually reproduced.--The term `sexually reproduced' 
     includes any production of a variety by seed, but does not 
     include the production of a variety by tuber propagation.
       ``(7) Tuber propagated.--The term `tuber propagated' means 
     propagated by a tuber or a part of a tuber.
       ``(8) United States.--The terms `United States' and `this 
     country' mean the United States, the territories and 
     possessions of the United States, and the Commonwealth of 
     Puerto Rico.
       ``(9) Variety.--The term `variety' means a plant grouping 
     within a single botanical taxon of the lowest known rank, 
     that, without regard to whether the conditions for plant 
     variety protection are fully met, can be defined by the 
     expressions of the characteristics resulting from a given 
     genotype or combination or genotypes, distinguished from any 
     other plant grouping by the expression of a at least one 
     characteristic and considered as a unit with regard to the 
     suitability of the pant grouping for being propagated 
     unchanged. A variety may be represented by seed, transplants, 
     plants, tubers, tissue culture plantlets, and other matter.
       ``(b) Rules of Construction.--For the purposes of this Act:
       ``(1) Sale or disposition for nonreproductive purposes.--
     The sale or disposition, for other than reproductive 
     purposes, of harvested material produced as a result 
     experimentation or testing of a variety to ascertain the 
     characteristics of the variety, or as a by-product of 
     increasing a variety, shall not be considered to be a sale or 
     disposition for purposes of exploitation of the variety.
       ``(2) Sale or disposition for reproductive purposes.--The 
     sale or disposition of a variety for reproductive purposes 
     shall not be considered to be a sale or disposition for the 
     purposes of exploitation of the variety if the sale or 
     disposition is done as an integral part of a program of 
     experimentation or testing to ascertain the characteristics 
     of the variety, or to increase the variety on behalf of the 
     breeder or the successor in interest of the breeder.
       ``(3) Sale or disposition of hybrid seed.--The sale or 
     disposition of hybrid seed shall be considered to be a sale 
     or disposition of harvested material of the varieties from 
     which the seed was produced.
       ``(4) Application for protection or entering into a 
     register of varieties.--The filing of an application for the 
     protection or for the entering of a variety in an official 
     register of varieties, in any country, shall be considered to 
     render the variety a matter of common knowledge from the date 
     of the application, if the application leads to the granting 
     of protection or to the entering of the variety in the 
     official register of varieties, as the case may be.
       ``(5) Distinctness.--The distinctness of one variety from 
     another may be based on one or more identifiable 
     morphological, physiological, or other characteristics 
     (including any characteristics evidenced by processing or 
     product characteristics, such as milling and baking 
     characteristics in the case of wheat) with respect to which a 
     difference in genealogy may contribute evidence.

[[Page 1584]]

       ``(6) Publicly-known varieties.--
       ``(A) In general.--A variety that is adequately described 
     by a publication reasonably considered to be a part of the 
     public technical knowledge in the United States shall be 
     considered to be publicly known and a matter of common 
     knowledge.
       ``(B) Description.--A description that meets the 
     requirements of subparagraph (A) shall include a disclosure 
     of the principal characteristics by which a variety is 
     distinguished.
       ``(C) Other means.--A variety may become publicly known and 
     a matter of common knowledge by other means.''.

     a motor common carrier is challenged by the person paying the 
     freight charges, the Commission shall determine whether such 
     rates and provisions are reasonable or applicable based on 
     the record before it. In those cases where a motor common 
     carrier (other than a motor common carrier providing 
     transportation of household goods or in noncontiguous 
     domestic trade) seeks to collect charges in addition to those 
     billed and collected which are contested by the payor, the 
     carrier may request that the Commission determine whether any 
     additional charges over those billed and collected must be 
     paid. A carrier must issue any bill for charges in addition 
     to those originally billed within 180 days of the original 
     bill in order to have the right to collect such charges.
       ``(4) If a shipper seeks to contest the charges originally 
     billed, the shipper may request that the Commission determine 
     whether the charges originally billed must be paid. A shipper 
     must contest the original bill within 180 days in order to

     enactment of that Act is null and void beginning on that

     transportation that it can provide over its line; or
       ``(B) 2 or more interlining carriers without participation 
     in an organization established

     established for the purpose of setting aside adequate funding 
     for natural disasters and national security emergencies.
       (b) Prior Appropriation Required.--The account shall

     other provision of law, the amounts in the account shall not 
     be available for other than emergency funding requirements 
     for particular natural disasters or national security 
     emergencies so designated by Acts of Congress.
       (2) Funds in the account that are not obligated during the 
     fiscal year for which they are appropriated may only be used 
     for deficit reduction purposes.

     SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET PROCESS CHANGES.

       (a) Contents of Concurrent Resolutions on the Budget.--
     Section 301(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is 
     amended by redesignating paragraphs (6) and (7) as paragraphs 
     (7) and (8), respectively, and by inserting after paragraph 
     (5) the following new paragraph:
       ``(6) total new budget authority and total budget outlays 
     for emergency funding requirements for natural disasters and 
     national security emergencies to be included in a budget 
     reserve account;''.
       (b) Section 602 Allocations.--(1) Section 602 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is amended by adding at the 
     end the following new subsection:
       ``(f) Committee Spending Allocations and Suballocations for

       ``(1) Allocations.--The joint explanatory statement 
     accompanying a conference report on a budget resolution shall 
     include allocations, consistent with the resolution 
     recommended in the conference report, of the appropriate 
     levels (for each fiscal year covered by that resolution) of 
     total new budget authority and outlays to the Committee on 
     Appropriations of each House for emergency funding 
     requirements for natural disasters and national security 
     emergencies to be included in a budget reserve account.
       ``(2) Suballocations.--As soon as practicable after a 
     budget resolution is agreed to, the Committee on 
     Appropriations of each House (after consulting with the 
     Committee on Appropriations of the other House) shall 
     suballocate each amount allocated to it for the budget year 
     under paragraph (1) among its subcommittees. Each Committee 
     on Appropriations shall promptly report to its House 
     suballocations made or revised under this paragraph.''.
       (2) Section 602(c) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
     is amended by inserting ``or subsection (f)(1)'' after 
     ``subsection (a)'' and by inserting ``or subsection (f)(2)'' 
     after ``subsection (b)''.

     SEC. 3. REPEAL OF ADJUSTMENT FOR EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS.

       Section 251(b)(2)(D) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency

     listing the amounts of money expended from the budget reserve 
     account established under section 1 for the fiscal year 
     ending during that calendar year for each natural disaster 
     and national security emergency.

Para. 98.14  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to angola

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HASTINGS, 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 National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (``UNITA'') is 
to continue in effect beyond September 26, 1994, to the Federal 
Register for publication.
  The circumstances that led to the declaration on September 26, 1993, 
of a national emergency have not been resolved. The actions and 
policies of UNITA pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary threat to 
the foreign policy of the United States. United Nations Security 
Council Resolution 864 (1993) continues to oblige all Member States to 
maintain sanctions. Discontinuation of the sanctions would have a 
prejudicial effect on the Angolan peace process. For these reasons, I 
have determined that it is necessary to maintain in force the broad 
authorities necessary to apply economic pressure to UNITA to reduce its 
ability to pursue its aggressive policies of territorial acquisition.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, August 17, 1994.

  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. 103-292).

     SEC. 127. NAVAL AMPHIBIOUS READY GROUPS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Amphibious Assault Ships (LHDs) provide an important 
     contingency capability

[[Page 1614]]

     and are uniquely suited to respond to world crises and to 
     provide assistance after natural disasters.
       (2) Extensive testimony received by the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate in 1994 and prior years from military 
     and civilian officials of the Department of Defense provided 
     compelling support for a military requirement for 12 
     Amphibious Ready Groups.
       (3) Twelve Amphibious Ready Groups is the correct number of 
     amphibious ready groups necessary to sustain forward 
     deployment and contingency requirements of the Navy.
       (4) A report of the Department of the Navy (prepared 
     pursuant to requirements of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993) clearly stipulates 
     that a seventh LHD amphibious assault vessel is required in 
     order for the Navy to achieve a force of 12 Amphibious Ready 
     Groups.
       (5) A significant shortfall in amphibious shipping and 
     amphibious lift exists, both in the fiscal year 1995 budget 
     request and in outyear force structure projections.
       (6) The Department of the Navy has identified funds in 
     outyear budget projections for the purchase of the amphibious 
     assault vessel designated as LHD-7.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of the Navy--
       (1) should plan for, and budget to provide for, the 
     attainment of a twelfth Amphibious Ready Group as soon as 
     possible; and
       (2) should extend the existing contract option on the LHD-7 
     Amphibious Assault Ship to facilitate achieving 12 Amphibious 
     Ready Groups.
       (c) LHD-7 Contract Option Extension.--(1) The Secretary of 
     the Navy is authorized to extend the existing contract option 
     for the LHD-7 Amphibious Assault ship if the Secretary 
     determines that the extension would be in the best interest 
     of the United States.
       (2) The Secretary of the Navy shall immediately begin 
     negotiations to extend the existing contract option for the 
     LHD-7 Amphibious Assault Ship Program.
       (3) On and after the date that is 30 days after the date on 
     which the Secretary notifies Congress of an intention to do 
     so, the Secretary may use for such contract option extension 
     funds that are authorized to be appropriated for other Navy 
     programs. The notification shall include a description of the 
     intended use of the funds.
       (d) Report Requirement.--The Secretary of the Navy shall 
     submit to Congress, after December 31, 1994, but before March 
     31, 1995, a report stating the Secretary's intentions 
     regarding exercise of the existing contract option for the 
     LHD-7 Amphibious Assault Ship. The report shall include an 
     explanation of the Secretary's actions regarding attainment 
     of a twelfth Amphibious Ready Group and the costs and 
     benefits of extending the existing contract option on the 
     LHD-7 Amphibious Assault Ship.

       (A) for those studies; and
       (B) for the purpose of preserving those parts of the core 
     capabilities referred to in subsection (b)(1).
       (3) If, as a result of the study carried out under 
     subsection (b), the Secretary determines that a new-
     generation bomber is needed to meet the national security 
     requirements for bombers, the Secretary may obligate up to 
     $25,000,000 of the amount in such fund for requirements 
     formulation and conceptual studies for a conventional-
     conflict-oriented lower-cost next-generation bomber.

       (1) By providing 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, the 
     depot-level maintenance and repair activities of the 
     Department of De- 

[[Page 1623]]

     fense play an essential role in maintaining the readiness of 
     the Armed Forces.
       (2) It is appropriate for the capability of the depot-level 
     maintenance and repair activities of the Department of 
     Defense to perform maintenance and repair of weapon systems 
     and equipment to be based on policies that take into 
     consideration the readiness, mobilization, and deployment 
     requirements of the military departments.
       (3) It is appropriate for the management of employees of 
     the depot-level maintenance and repair activities of the 
     Department of Defense to be based on the amount of workload 
     necessary to be performed by such activities to maintain the 
     readiness of the weapon systems and equipment of the military 
     departments and on the funds made available for the 
     performance of such workload.

     SEC. 347. REPORT ON CONVERSION OF CERTAIN POSITIONS TO 
                   PERFORMANCE BY DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EMPLOYEES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In order to ensure an optimum level of availability of 
     members of the Armed Forces for assignment to combat units, 
     it is the policy of the Department of Defense to assign 
     employees of the Department of Defense to replace military 
     personnel in Department of Defense positions to which 
     assignment of military personnel can no longer be justified 
     under current circumstances.
       (2) Assignment of employees of the Department of Defense to 
     such positions can provide valuable continuity for the 
     performance of many missions of the Department while 
     enhancing the readiness and military capability of the Armed 
     Forces.
       (3) During the Persian Gulf War, employees of the 
     Department of Defense, employees of other Federal agencies, 
     and employees of civilian contractors, by their distinguished 
     service in the theater of operations, demonstrated the 
     valuable contributions that civilian personnel can make to 
     the performance of Department of Defense functions.
       (4) The performance of Department of Defense functions by 
     employees of the Department is often less costly than the 
     performance of those functions by military personnel.
       (5) The percentage of certain support positions that are 
     filled by employees of the Department of Defense varies 
     significantly among the military departments.
       (6) The Secretary of Defense is reviewing the extent to 
     which employees of the Department of Defense should replace 
     military personnel in Department of Defense positions.
       (b) Requirement for Report.--Not later than April 30, 1995, 
     the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a 
     report on the efforts of the Secretary--
       (1) to identify positions in the Department of Defense to 
     which continued assignment of military personnel is no longer 
     justified under current circumstances; and
       (2) to assign employees of the Department of Defense to 
     replace military personnel in those positions.
       (c) Content of Report.--The report required by subsection 
     (b) shall contain the following:
       (1) The number of positions identified by the Secretary, 
     including the positions in which employees of the Department 
     of Defense have replaced military personnel and the positions 
     to which employees of the Department of Defense are planned 
     to be assigned to replace military personnel.
       (2) The cost of carrying out the planned changes in 
     assignments.
       (3) A discussion of the effects of such changes on 
     workforce restructuring plans of the Department.
       (4) A discussion of the efforts of the Secretary to 
     encourage within the Department of Defense the assignment of 
     employees of the Department to replace military personnel.
       (5) An explanation of the justifications for maintaining 
     variances in excess of 20 percent among the military 
     departments in the percentage of support positions common to 
     two or more military departments that are filled by employees 
     of the Department of Defense rather than military personnel.

     or realignment of the military installations where such

     employer for any necessary training provided to such person 
     in connection with the employment by that employer.
       (2) The Secretary shall pay a retraining incentive to the 
     non-Federal employer upon the employee's completion of 12 
     months of continuous employment by that employer. Subject to 
     subsection (f), the Secretary shall prescribe the amount of 
     the incentive.
       (3) The Secretary shall pay a prorated amount of the full 
     retraining incentive to the non-Federal employer for an 
     employee who does not remain employed by the non-Federal 
     employer for at least 12 months.
       (4) In no event may the amount of the retraining incentive 
     paid for the training of any one person under the pilot 
     program exceed the amount certified for that person under 
     paragraph (1).
       (d) Relocation Incentive.--The Secretary may pay a 
     relocation incentive to an eligible employee if it is 
     necessary for the employee to relocate in order to commence 
     employment with a non-Federal employer under the pilot 
     program. Subject to subsection (f), the amount of the 
     incentive shall be equal to the total amount authorized to be 
     paid for travel, transportation, and subsistence expenses 
     under subchapter II of chapter 57 of title 5, United States 
     Code, including the reimbursements authorized under section 
     5724b of such title, to a Federal employee being transferred 
     between the same locations as the person paid the incentive.
       (e) Approval of Secretary of Defense.--The Secretary of a 
     military department or the head of a Defense Agency may offer 
     an incentive under the pilot program with the prior approval 
     of the Secretary of Defense or pursuant to a delegation of 
     authority by the Secretary of Defense.

     case of a person under the pilot program may not exceed 
     $10,000.

     program for training or relocations commenced after September 
     30, 1999.

     that is not an Executive agency, as defined in section 105 of 
     title 5, United States Code, or the legislative or judicial

     ``Sec. 2164. Department of Defense domestic dependent

       ``(a) Authority of Secretary.--If the Secretary of Defense 
     makes a determination that appropriate educational programs 
     are not available through a local educational agency for 
     dependents of members of the armed forces and dependents of 
     civilian employees of the Federal Government residing on a 
     military installation in the United States (including 
     territories, commonwealths, and possessions of the United 
     States), the Secretary may enter into arrangements to provide 
     for the elementary or secondary education of the dependents 
     of such members of the armed forces and, to the extent 
     authorized in subsection (c), the dependents of such civilian 
     employees. The Secretary may, at the discretion of the 
     Secretary, permit dependents of members of the armed forces 
     and, to the extent provided in subsection (c), dependents of 
     civilian employees of the Federal Government residing in a 
     territory, commonwealth, or possession of the United States 
     but not on a military installation, to enroll in an 
     educational program provided by the Secretary pursuant to 
     this subsection.
       ``(b) Factors for Secretary To Consider.--(1) Factors to be 
     considered by the Secretary of Defense in making a 
     determination under subsection (a) shall include the 
     following:
       ``(A) The extent to which such dependents are eligible for 
     free public education in the local area adjacent to the 
     military installation.
       ``(B) The extent to which the local educational agency is 
     able to provide an appropriate educational program for such 
     dependents.
       ``(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(B), an appropriate 
     educational program is a program that, as determined by the 
     Secretary, is comparable to a program of free public 
     education provided for children by the following local 
     educational agencies:
       ``(A) In the case of a military installation located in a 
     State (other than an installation referred to in subparagraph 
     (B)), local educational agencies in the State that are 
     similar to the local educational agency referred to in 
     paragraph (1)(B).
       ``(B) In the case of a military installation with 
     boundaries contiguous to two or more States, local 
     educational agencies in the contiguous States that are 
     similar to the local educational agency referred to in 
     paragraph (1)(B).
       ``(C) In the case of a military installation located in a 
     territory, commonwealth, or possession, the District of 
     Columbia public schools, except that an educational program 
     determined comparable under this subparagraph may be 
     considered appropriate for the purposes of paragraph (1)(B) 
     only if the program is conducted in the English language.
       ``(c) Eligibility of Dependents of Federal Employees.--(1) 
     A dependent of a Federal employee residing in permanent 
     living quarters on a military installation at any time during 
     the school year may enroll in an educational program provided 
     by the Secretary of Defense pursuant to subsection (a) for 
     dependents residing on such installation.
       ``(2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C), a 
     dependent of a Federal employee who is enrolled in an 
     educational program provided by the Secretary pursuant to 
     subsection (a) and who is not residing on a military 
     installation may be enrolled in the program for not more than 
     five consecutive school years.
       ``(B) A dependent referred to in subparagraph (A) may be 
     enrolled in the program for more than five consecutive school 
     years if the Secretary determines that, in the interest of 
     the dependent's educational well-being, there is good cause 
     to extend the enrollment for more than the five-year period 
     described in such subparagraph. Any such extension may be 
     made for only one school year at a time.
       ``(C) Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to an individual who 
     is a dependent of a Federal employee in the excepted service 
     (as defined in section 2103 of title 5) and who is enrolled 
     in an educational program provided by the Secretary pursuant 
     to subsection (a) in Puerto Rico, Wake Island, Guam, American 
     Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands.
       ``(3) A dependent of a Federal employee may continue 
     enrollment in a program under this subsection for the 
     remainder of a school year notwithstanding a change during 
     such school year in the status of the Federal employee that, 
     except for this paragraph, would otherwise terminate the 
     eligibility of the dependent to be enrolled in the program. 
     The preceding sentence does not limit the authority of the 
     Secretary to remove the dependent from enrollment in the 
     program at any time for good cause determined by the 
     Secretary.
       ``(d) School Boards.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall 
     provide for the establishment of a school board for 
     Department of Defense elementary and secondary schools 
     established at each military installation under this section.
       ``(2) The school board shall be composed of the number of 
     members, not fewer than three, prescribed by the Secretary.
       ``(3) The parents of the students attending the school 
     shall elect the school board in accordance with procedures 
     which the Secretary shall prescribe.
       ``(4)(A) A school board elected for a school under this 
     subsection may participate in the development and oversight 
     of fiscal, personnel, and educational policies, procedures, 
     and programs for the school, except that the Secretary may 
     issue any directive that the Secretary considers necessary 
     for the effective operation of the school or the entire 
     school system.
       ``(B) A directive referred to in subparagraph (A) shall, to 
     the maximum extent practicable, be issued only after the 
     Secretary consults with the appropriate school boards elected 
     under this subsection. The Secretary shall establish a 
     process by which a school board or school administrative 
     officials may formally appeal the directive to the Secretary 
     of Defense.
       ``(5) Meetings conducted by the school board shall be open 
     to the public, except as provided in paragraph (6).
       ``(6) A school board need not comply with the provisions of 
     the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.), but may 
     close meetings in accordance with such Act.
       ``(e) Administration and Staff.--(1) The Secretary of 
     Defense may enter into such arrangements as may be necessary 
     to provide educational programs at the school.
       ``(2) The Secretary may, without regard to the provisions 
     of any other law relating to the number, classification, or 
     compensation of employees--
       ``(A) establish positions for civilian employees in schools 
     established under this section;
       ``(B) appoint individuals to such positions; and

[[Page 1627]]

       ``(C) fix the compensation of such individuals for service 
     in such positions.
       ``(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), in fixing 
     the compensation of employees appointed for a school pursuant 
     to paragraph (2), the Secretary shall consider--
       ``(i) the compensation of comparable employees of the local 
     educational agency in the capital of the State where the 
     military installation is located;
       ``(ii) the compensation of comparable employees in the 
     local educational agency that provides public education to 
     students who reside adjacent to the military installation; 
     and
       ``(iii) the average compensation for similar positions in 
     not more than three other local educational agencies in the 
     State in which the military installation is located.
       ``(B) In fixing the compensation of employees in schools 
     established in the territories, commonwealths, and 
     possessions pursuant to the authority of this section, the 
     Secretary shall determine the level of compensation required 
     to attract qualified employees. For employees in such 
     schools, the Secretary, without regard to the provisions of 
     title 5, may provide for the tenure, leave, hours of work, 
     and other incidents of employment to be similar to that 
     provided for comparable positions in the public schools of 
     the District of Columbia. For purposes of the first sentence, 
     a school established before the effective date of this 
     section pursuant to authority similar to the authority in 
     this section shall be considered to have been established 
     pursuant to the authority of this section.

     SEC. 521. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE TRAINING AND 
                   MODERNIZATION OF THE RESERVE COMPONENTS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The force structure specified in the report resulting 
     from the Bottom Up Review conducted by the Department of 
     Defense during 1993 assumes increased reliance on the reserve 
     components of the Armed Forces.
       (2) The mobilization of the reserve components for the 
     Persian Gulf War was handicapped by shortfalls in training, 
     readiness, and equipment.
       (3) The mobilization of the Army reserve components for the 
     Persian Gulf War was handicapped by lack of a standard 
     readiness evaluation system, which resulted in a lengthy 
     reevaluation of training and equipment readiness of Army 
     National Guard and Army Reserve units before they could be 
     deployed.
       (4) Funding and scheduling constraints continue to limit 
     the opportunity for combat units of the Army National Guard 
     to carry out adequate maneuver training.
       (5) Funding constraints continue to handicap the readiness 
     and modernization of the reserve components and their 
     interoperability with the active forces.
       (b) Standard Evaluation System.--It is the sense of 
     Congress that the Secretary of Defense, with the advice and 
     assistance of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
     should establish--
       (1) a standard readiness evaluation system that is uniform 
     for all forces within each military service; and
       (2) a standard readiness rating system that is uniform for 
     the military departments.
       (c) Military Department Budgets.--It is the sense of 
     Congress that the Secretary of Defense should assess the 
     budget submission of each military department each year to 
     determine (taking into consideration the advice of the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) the extent to which 
     National Guard and reserve units would, under that budget 
     submission, be trained and modernized to the standards needed 
     for them to carry out the full range of missions required of

     dependent of the member resides in a high cost area in the 
     continental United States.

     for a fiscal year for purposes of this section if the 
     uniformed services cost of living for that area for the base 
     period exceeds the average cost of living in the continental 
     United States for such base period by at least the threshold 
     percentage. The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     the other administering Secretaries, shall establish the 
     threshold percentage, except that the threshold percentage 
     may not be less than 8 percent. The administering Secretaries 
     shall prescribe a higher threshold percentage to be applied 
     for a fiscal year when it is necessary to do so in order to 
     ensure that the total amount of the payments of the cost-of-
     living allowance made to members of the uniformed services

     total amount available to all uniformed services for that 
     fiscal year for paying such allowance.

     that may be paid to a member for a high cost area for a 
     fiscal year shall be the amount that is equal to the product 
     of--
       ``(1) the amount of the average spendable income determined 
     applicable for the regular military compensation level of 
     such member under subsection (g); and

     of living for the member's high cost area for the base period 
     exceeds the average cost of living in the continental United 
     States for such base period, over
       ``(B) the threshold percentage applicable to such fiscal 
     year under subsection (c).
       ``(e) Limitation to One Allowance.--If primary dependents 
     of a member reside separately in different high cost areas--

     allowance under this section; and
       ``(2) the cost-of-living allowance payable to the member 
     shall be the highest of the amounts computed under this 
     section for such high cost areas.

     may not be paid a member under this section for the days 
     authorized for travel of the member in connection with a

     cost-of-living allowance under this section unless the member 
     is on active duty under a call or order to active duty that--

       ``(B) states that the call or order to active duty is in 
     support of a contingency operation.

     shall determine, using a methodology and assumptions that the 
     Secretary considers appropriate, the amounts of average 
     spendable income of members of the uniformed services for 
     various ranges of regular military compensation. For purposes 
     of this subsection, spendable income is the total amount of 
     regular military compensation that is available for purchase 
     of goods and services after allocation of amounts for taxes, 
     insurance, housing, gifts and contributions, and savings.

     other administering Secretaries shall jointly prescribe 
     regulations to carry out this section.

     the price index selected as described in paragraph (2) and 
     adjusted as the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     the other administering Secretaries, considers appropriate to 
     reflect variations between expenses of members of the 
     uniformed services (as offset by the basic allowance for 
     subsistence) and the corresponding expenses of persons not 
     members of the uniformed services with regard to the

     monthly subsistence allowances authorized by such amendments.

       (a) In General.--The fiscal year 1995 increase in military 
     retired pay shall (notwithstanding subparagraph (B) of

     SEC. 632. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EQUAL TREATMENT OF EFFECTIVE 
                   DATES FOR FUTURE COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENTS FOR 
                   MILITARY AND CIVILIAN RETIREES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Congress, in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 
     1993, changed the effective dates for future cost-of-living 
     adjustments for military retired pay and for Federal civilian 
     retirement annuities, which (before that Act) were provided 
     by law to be made effective on December 1 each year.
       (2) The timing, and the percentage of increase, of military 
     and Federal civilian retirees' cost-of-living adjustments 
     have been linked for decades.
       (3) The effect of the enactment of the Omnibus Budget 
     Reconciliation Act of 1993 was to abandon the longstanding 
     congressional practice of treating military and Federal 
     civilian retirees identically in matters related to cost-of-
     living adjustments.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in 
     subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) as a matter of simple equity and fairness, it is 
     imperative that cost-of-living adjustments in retirement 
     benefits for military and Federal civilian retirees be 
     returned to an identical schedule as soon as possible, but 
     not later than January 1, 1999;
       (2) if after October 1, 1998, there is, by law, a 
     difference between the date on which a cost-of-living 
     adjustment for Federal civilian retirees takes effect and the 
     date on which a cost-of-living adjustment for military 
     retirees takes effect, then the difference in those effective 
     dates should be eliminated by requiring that cost-of-living 
     adjustments for both classes of retirees become effective on 
     the earlier of the two dates; and
       (3) if after October 1, 1998, there is, by law, a 
     difference between the first month for which a cost-of-living 
     adjustment for civilian retirees is payable and the first 
     month for which a cost-of-living adjustment for military 
     retirees is payable, then the difference in the months for

       (b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by subsection (a)

                   TO PREVENT PAY INVERSIONS IN RETIRED PAY OF 
                   CERTAIN MILITARY RETIREES.

       (a) Authority.--The Secretary concerned may, for purposes 
     of the computation under section 1401a(f) of title 10, United 
     States Code, of the retired pay of military retirees 
     described in subsection (b), waive any administrative time-
     in-grade regulation (as described in subsection (d)) that 
     would otherwise apply to such computation. Any such waiver 
     may be made retroactive, in the case of any such retiree, to 
     the date on which that retiree initially became entitled to 
     retired pay.
       (b) Covered Retirees.--This section applies to any military 
     retiree--
       (1) who initially became entitled to retired pay on or 
     after January 1, 1971, and before the date of the enactment 
     of this Act;
       (2) whose retired pay, by reason of the provisions of 
     section 1401a(f) of title 10, United States Code (the so-
     called ``Tower amendment''), was initially computed as an 
     amount greater than would have been the case but for that 
     section; and
       (3) who, as of the earlier computation date applicable to 
     that retiree--
       (A) in the case of an individual retired in an enlisted 
     grade, had served in the grade in which the retiree retired 
     for a period that was less than the period prescribed by the 
     applicable administrative time-in-grade requirement described 
     in subsection (d); and
       (B) in the case of an individual retired in an officer 
     grade--
       (i) was subject to an administrative time-in-grade 
     requirement described in subsection (d) that established a 
     time-in-grade requirement that was longer than the statutory 
     time-in-grade requirement applicable to that member; and
       (ii) had served in the grade in which the retiree retired 
     for a period that was less than the period prescribed by such 
     administrative time-in-grade requirement but not less than 
     the statutory time-in-grade requirement applicable to that 
     member.
       (c) Earlier Computation Date.--For purposes of subsection 
     (b)(3), the earlier computation date applicable to a military 
     retiree is the date that (under such section 1401a(f) as in 
     effect on the date of the member's retirement) was the 
     ``earlier date'' that was used as the basis for the 
     computation of the retiree's retired pay.
       (d) Regulations Subject to Waiver.--A regulation that may 
     be waived under subsection (a) is any regulation (not 
     required by law) that establishes a minimum period of time 
     that a member of the Armed Forces must have served in a grade 
     on active duty in order to be eligible to retire in that 
     grade.
       (e) Scope of Waiver Authority.--The Secretary concerned may 
     exercise the authority provided in subsection (a) in the case 
     of an individual military retiree or for any group of 
     military retirees.
       (f) Military Retiree Defined.--For purposes of this 
     section, the term ``military retiree'' means a member or 
     former member of the Armed Forces who is entitled to retired 
     pay.
       (g) Secretary Concerned.--For purposes of this section, the 
     term ``Secretary concerned'' has the meaning given such term 
     in section 101 of title 10, United States Code.

       (a) Study Required.--The Comptroller General of the United 
     States shall carry out a study regarding the requirement in 
     each of the following provisions of title 10, United States 
     Code, to offset the amount of disability compensation payable 
     to a veteran by the amount of the separation benefits paid to 
     the veteran under such provision of law:
       (1) Section 1174, relating to payment of separation pay 
     upon involuntary discharge or release from active duty.
       (2) Section 1174a(a), relating to payment of a special 
     separation benefit for voluntary separation.

     separation incentive.
       (b) Elements of Study.--In carrying out the study required 
     under subsection (a), the Comptroller General shall--
       (1) determine the purposes of the provisions of law 
     referred to in such subsection;
       (2) determine the justifications for the requirement for 
     offset of disability compensation provided in each such 
     provision of law;
       (3) assess the financial effects of the offset requirements 
     on affected veterans, and the fiscal effects of the offset 
     requirements on the Federal Government, taking into 
     consideration--
       (A) an estimate (by the Comptroller General) of the number 
     of members of the Armed Forces who will separate from the 
     Armed Forces during the period beginning on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act and ending on September 30, 1999;
       (B) an estimate (by the Comptroller General) of--
       (i) the number of such members who will receive separation 
     benefits under the provisions of law referred to in 
     subsection (a); and
       (ii) the average amount of the benefits to be paid such 
     members;

       (i) the number of such members who will be entitled to 
     disability compensation payable by the Secretary of Veterans 
     Affairs; and
       (ii) the average monthly amount of the compensation to 
     which such members will be entitled; and
       (D) an assessment (by the Comptroller General) of the 
     extent, if any, to which the offset affects the capacity of 
     such members to meet their financial obligations, including 
     financial obligations incurred in connection with service in 
     the Armed Forces or with separation from that service, and 
     increased net costs for housing and medical care;

[[Page 1646]]

       (4) determine the extent, if any, to which the offset of 
     disability compensation required under the provisions of law 
     referred to in subsection (a) reduces the effectiveness of 
     such provisions of law for achieving the purposes of those 
     provisions of law; and
       (5) determine the cost to the Federal Government that would 
     result from repeal of the offset requirements in such 
     provisions of law.
       (c) Results of Study.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General 
     shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services and the 
     Committees on Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives a report containing the results of the 
     study required under subsection (a). The report shall include

     such other managed health care program for the purpose of 
     coordinating the beneficiary's dual entitlements under such

     to pay; or
       ``(4) by a provider with which the third party payer has no

     (pursuant to regulations issued by the Secretary) providing 
     for collection under this section from such organization or

     enrollee in such organization or plan.''.

     Veterans Affairs; and
       (3) encourage such members to report any symptoms they may 
     have and to register in the appropriate health surveillance 
     registry.
       (b) Incentives to Persian Gulf Veterans To Register.--In 
     order to encourage Persian Gulf veterans to register any 
     symptoms they may have in one of the existing health

     following:
       (1) For any Persian Gulf veteran who is on active duty and 
     who registers with the Department of Defense's Persian Gulf 
     War Veterans Health Surveillance System, a full medical

     of the enactment of this Act, a member of a reserve 
     component, opportunity to register at a military medical 
     facility in the Persian Gulf Veterans Health Care 
     Surveillance System and, in the case of a Reserve who 
     registers in that registry, a full medical evaluation by the 
     Department of Defense. Depending on the results of the 
     evaluation and on eligibility status, reserve personnel may 
     be provided medical care by the Department of Defense.
       (3) For a Persian Gulf veteran who is not, as of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, on active duty or a member of a

       (c) Compatibility of Department of Defense and Department 
     of Veterans Affairs Registries.--The Secretary of Defense 
     shall take appropriate actions to ensure--
       (1) that the data collected by and the testing protocols of 
     the Persian Gulf War Health Surveillance System maintained by 
     the Department of Defense are compatible with the data 
     collected by and the testing protocols of the Persian Gulf 
     War Veterans Health Registry maintained by the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs; and
       (2) that all information on individuals who register with 
     the Department of Defense for purposes of the Persian Gulf 
     War Health Surveillance System is provided to the Secretary 
     of Veterans Affairs for incorporation into the Persian Gulf 
     War Veterans Health Registry.
       (d) Presumptions on Behalf of Service Member.--(1) A member

     Gulf War shall be considered for Department of Defense 
     purposes to have become ill as a result of serving in that 
     theater of operations.
       (2) A member of the Armed Forces who is a Persian Gulf 
     veteran and who reports being ill as a result of serving on 
     active duty in the Southwest Asia theater of operations 
     during the Persian Gulf War shall be considered for 
     Department of Defense purposes to have become ill as a result 
     of serving in that theater of operations until such time as

     causes of the member's illness.
       (3) The Secretary concerned shall ensure that, for the 
     purposes of health care treatment by the Department of 
     Defense, health care and personnel administration, and 
     disability evaluation by the Department of Defense, the 
     symptoms of any member of the Armed Forces covered by 
     paragraph (1) or (2) are examined in light of the member's 
     service in the Persian Gulf War and in light of the reported 
     symptoms of other Persian Gulf veterans. The Secretary shall 
     ensure that, in providing health care diagnosis and treatment 
     of the member, a broad range of potential causes of the 
     member's symptoms are considered and that the member's 
     symptoms are considered collectively, as well as by type of 
     symptom or medical specialty, and 
     that treatment across medical specialties is coordinated 
     appropriately.
       (4) The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the 
     presumptions of service connection and illness specified in 
     paragraphs (1) and (2) are incorporated in appropriate

     Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of Health and 
     Human Services, shall ensure that case definitions of Persian 
     Gulf related illnesses, as well as the Physical Evaluation 
     Board criteria used to set disability ratings for members no 
     longer medically qualified for continuation on active duty, 
     are established as soon as possible to permit accurate 
     disability ratings related to a diagnosis of Persian Gulf 
     illnesses.
       (2) Until revised disability criteria can be implemented 
     and members of the Armed Forces can be rated against those 
     criteria, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure--
       (A) that any member of the Armed Forces on active duty who 
     may be suffering from a Persian Gulf-related illness is 
     afforded continued military medical care; and
       (B) that any member of the Armed Forces on active duty who 
     is found by a Physical Evaluation Board to be unfit for 
     continuation on active duty as a result of a Persian Gulf-
     related illness for which the board has no rating criteria 
     (or inadequate rating criteria) for the illness or condition 
     from which the member suffers is placed on the temporary 
     disability retired list.
       (f) Review of Records and Rerating of Previously Discharged 
     Gulf War Veterans.--(1) The Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, shall 
     ensure that a review is made of the health and personnel 
     records of each Persian Gulf veteran who before the date of 
     the enactment of this Act was discharged from active duty, or 
     was medically retired, as a result of a Physical Evaluation 
     Board process.
       (2) The review under paragraph (1) shall be carried out to 
     ensure that former Persian Gulf veterans who may have been 
     suffering from a Persian Gulf-related illness at the time of 
     discharge or retirement from active duty as a result of the 
     Physical Evaluation Board process are revaluated in 
     accordance with the criteria established under subsection 
     (e)(1) and, if appropriate, are rerated.
       (g) Persian Gulf Illness Medical Referral Centers.--The 
     Secretary of Defense shall evaluate the feasibility of 
     establishing one or more medical referral centers to provide 
     uniform, coordinated medical care for Persian Gulf veterans 
     on active duty who are or may be suffering from a Persian 
     Gulf-related illness. The Secretary shall submit a report on 
     such feasibility to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and House of Representatives not later than six months 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (h) Annual Report to Congress.--(1) The Secretary of

     of the Armed Forces and their families as part of the 
     outreach program required by subsection (a);
       (B) efforts taken to revise the Physical Evaluation Board 
     disability rating criteria and interim efforts to adjudicate 
     cases before the revision of the criteria; and
       (C) results of the review and rerating of previously 
     separated servicemembers.
       (2) The first report under paragraph (1) shall be submitted

                   MIA ISSUES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs of the Senate, 
     in its final report, dated January 13, 1993, concluded--
       (A) that ``many American POWs had been held in China during 
     the Korean conflict and that foreign POW camps in both China 
     and North Korea were run by Chinese officials''; and
       (B) that ``given the fact that only 26 Army and 15 Air 
     Force personnel returned from China following the war, the 
     committee can now firmly conclude that the People's Republic 
     of China surely has information on the fate of other 
     unaccounted for American POWs from the Korean conflict.''.
       (2) The Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs recommended in 
     that report that ``the Department of State and Defense form a 
     POW/MIA task force on China similar to Task Force Russia.''.
       (3) Neither the Department of Defense nor the Department of 
     State has held substantive discussions with officials from 
     the People's Republic of China concerning unaccounted for 
     American prisoners of war of the Korean conflict.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of Defense should establish contact with 
     officials of the Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic 
     of China regarding unresolved issues relating to American 
     prisoners of war and American personnel missing in action as 
     a result of the Korean conflict.

     SEC. 1034. INFORMATION CONCERNING UNACCOUNTED FOR UNITED 
                   STATES PERSONNEL OF THE VIETNAM CONFLICT.

       (a) Requirement.--Not later than 45 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     submit to Congress a report containing the information 
     specified in subsection (b) pertaining to United States 
     personnel involved in the Vietnam conflict who remain not 
     accounted for.
       (b) Required Information.--The information to be provided 
     in the report under subsection (a) is as follows:
       (1) A complete listing by name of all such personnel about 
     whom it is possible that officials of the Socialist Republic 
     of Vietnam can produce additional information or remains that 
     could lead to the maximum possible accounting for those 
     personnel, as determined on the basis of all information 
     available to the United States Government.
       (2) A complete listing by name of all such personnel about 
     whom it is possible that officials of the Lao People's 
     Democratic Republic can produce additional information or 
     remains that could lead to the maximum possible accounting 
     for those personnel, as determined on the basis of all 
     information available to the United States Government.

     SEC. 1035. REPORT ON POW/MIA MATTERS CONCERNING NORTH KOREA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs of the Senate 
     concluded in its final report, dated January 13, 1993, that 
     ``it is likely that a large number of possible MIA remains 
     can be repatriated and several records and documents on 
     unaccounted for POW's and MIA's can be provided from North 
     Korea once a joint working level commission is set up under 
     the leadership of the United States.''.
       (2) The Select Committee recommended in such report that 
     ``the Departments of State and Defense take immediate steps 
     to form this commission through the United Nations Command at 
     Panmunjom, Korea'' and that the ``commission should have a 
     strictly humanitarian mission and should not be tied to 
     political developments on the Korean peninsula.''.
       (3) In August 1993, the United States and North Korea 
     entered into an agreement concerning the repatriation of 
     remains of United States personnel.
       (4) The establishment of a joint working level commission 
     with North Korea could enhance the prospects for results 
     under the August 1993 agreement.
       (b) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall, at the end of 
     January and September of 1995, submit a report to Congress on 
     the status of efforts to obtain information from North Korea 
     concerning United States personnel involved in the Korean 
     conflict who remain not accounted for and to obtain from 
     North Korea any remains of such personnel.
       (c) Commission.--The President shall give serious 
     consideration to establishing a joint working level 
     commission with North Korea, consistent with the 
     recommendations of the Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs of 
     the Senate set forth in the final report of the committee, 
     dated January 13, 1993, to resolve the remaining issues 
     relating to United States personnel who became prisoners of 
     war or missing in action during the Korean conflict.

     SEC. 1052. USS INDIANAPOLIS (CA-35): GALLANTRY, SACRIFICE AND 
                   A DECISIVE MISSION TO END WW II.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The USS INDIANAPOLIS served the people of the United 
     States with valor and distinction throughout World War II in 
     action against enemy forces in the Pacific Theater of 
     Operations from 7 December 1941 to 29 July 1945.
       (2) The fast and powerful heavy cruiser with its courageous 
     and capable crew, compiled an impressive combat record during 
     her victorious forays across the battle-torn reaches of the 
     Pacific, receiving in the process ten hard-earned Battle 
     Stars from the Aleutians to Okinawa.
       (3) This mighty ship repeatedly proved herself a swift, 
     hard-hitting weapon of our Pacific Fleet, rendering 
     invaluable service in anti-shipping, shore bombardments, 
     anti-air and invasion support roles, and serving with honor 
     and great distinction as Fifth Fleet Flagship under Admiral 
     Raymond Spruance, USN, and Third Fleet Flagship under Admiral 
     William F. Halsey, USN.
        (4) This gallant ship, owing to her superior speed and 
     record of accomplishment, transported the world's first 
     operational atomic bomb to the Island of Tinian, 
     accomplishing her mission at a record average speed of 29 
     knots.
        (5) Following the accomplishment of her mission, the 
     INDIANAPOLIS departed Tinian for Guam and, thereafter, 
     embarked from Guam for the Leyte Gulf where she was to join 
     with the fleet assembling for the invasion of Japan.
       (6) At 0014 hours on 30 July 1945, the USS INDIANAPOLIS was 
     sunk by enemy torpedo action.
       (7) Of the approximately 900 members of her crew of 1,198 
     officers and men who survived the initial torpedo attack, 
     only 319 were eventually rescued because, as a result of the 
     ship's communication ability having been destroyed in the 
     attack, the sinking of the USS INDIANAPOLIS was not 
     discovered for five fateful days, during which the survivors 
     suffered incessant shark attacks, starvation, desperate 
     thirst, and exposure.
       (8) From her participation in the earliest offensive 
     actions in the Pacific in World War II to becoming the last 
     capital ship lost in that conflict, the USS INDIANAPOLIS and 
     her crew left an indelible imprint on our nation's struggle 
     to eventual victory.
       (9) This selfless and outstanding performance of duty 
     reflects great credit upon the ship and her crew, thus 
     upholding the very highest traditions of the United States 
     Navy.
       (b) Recognition and Commendation.--Congress, acting on 
     behalf of the grateful people of the United States, hereby--
       (1) recognizes the invaluable contributions of the USS 
     INDIANAPOLIS to the ending of World War II; and
       (2) on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of her tragic 
     sinking, and the dedication of her National Memorial in 
     Indianapolis on July 30th, 1995, commends this gallant ship 
     and her crew for selfless and heroic service to the United 
     States of America.

       ``(3) A person employed pursuant to paragraph (1) may not, 
     while so employed, be considered to be on active duty or 
     inactive-duty training for any purpose.''.

     SEC. 1066. INTERAGENCY PLACEMENT PROGRAM FOR FEDERAL 
                   EMPLOYEES AFFECTED BY REDUCTIONS IN FORCE.

       (a) Study and Report.--(1) The Director of the Office of 
     Personnel Management shall conduct a study on the feasibility 
     of establishing a mandatory interagency placement program for 
     Federal employees affected by reductions in force.
       (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), an interagency placement 
     program is a program that provides a system to require the 
     offering of a position in an agency to an employee of another 
     agency affected by a reduction in force if--
       (A) the position cannot be filled through a placement 
     program of the agency in which the position is located;
       (B) the employee to whom the offer is made is qualified for 
     the offered position; and
       (C) the geographic location of the offered position is 
     within the commuting area of--
       (i) the residence of the employee; or
       (ii) the employee's present or last-held position.
       (3) The Director shall carry out this subsection in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Defense.

     appropriate Federal agencies in conducting the study required 
     by paragraph (1).
       (5) Not later than six months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Director shall submit to Congress 
     a report on the results of the study required by paragraph 
     (1) and on any action taken by the Director under subsection 
     (b).
       (b) Agreements To Establish Interagency Placement 
     Program.--(1) The Director may establish a Government-wide 
     interagency placement program for Federal employees affected 
     by reductions in force if, during the 6-month period 
     beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     Director, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, 
     determines that such a program is feasible. To carry out the 
     program, the Director may enter into an agreement with the 
     head of each agency that agrees to participate in the 
     program. If the Director establishes a program under this 
     subsection, it is not necessary that the program be an 
     interagency placement program within the meaning of 
     subsection (a)(2).
       (2) If the Director establishes a program pursuant to 
     paragraph (1), the report required by subsection (a)(5) shall 
     identify each agency that does not agree to participate in 
     the program and the reasons of the head of that agency for 
     not agreeing to participate.
       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) The term ``agency'' means an Executive agency as 
     defined in section 105 of title 5, United States Code, except

     force'' means Federal employees who are separated, or are 
     scheduled to be separated, from service under a reduction in 
     force pursuant to--
       (A) regulations prescribed under section 3502 of title 5, 
     United States Code; or
       (B) procedures established under section 3595 of such 
     title.

     all American citizens.
       (b) Designation and Site of Facility.--The public facility 
     of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology--
       (1) shall also be known as the National Museum of Health 
     and Medicine; and
       (2) shall be located on or near the Mall on land owned by 
     the Federal Government or the District of Columbia (or both) 
     in the District of Columbia.
       (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed as limiting the authority or responsibilities of 
     the National Capital Planning Commission or the Commission of 
     Fine Arts.
       (d) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``the 
     Mall'' means--

       (e) Sense of the Congress.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (A) The National Museum of Health and Medicine Foundation, 
     Inc. (a private, nonprofit organization having for its 
     primary purpose the relocation to the Mall and revitalization 
     of the National Museum of Health and Medicine), the Armed 
     Forces Institute of Pathology, and the Public Health Service 
     have jointly supported planning to relocate the Museum to a 
     site on land that is located east of and adjacent to the 
     Hubert H. Humphrey Building (100 Independence Avenue, 
     Southwest, in the District of Columbia).
       (B) The National Museum of Health and Medicine Foundation, 
     Inc., is deserving of the encouragement and support of the 
     American people in its effort to relocate the National Museum 
     of Health and Medicine to a site on land the is located east 
     of and adjacent to the Hubert H. Humphrey Building, and in 
     its effort to raise funds for a revitalized Museum to inspire 
     increasing numbers of Americans to lead healthy lives through 
     improved public understanding of health and the medical 
     sciences.

     appropriate approvals by the National Capital Planning 
     Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, the National 
     Museum of Health and Medicine should be relocated to a site 
     on land that is located east of and adjacent to the Hubert H. 
     Humphrey Building for the purpose of educating the American 
     public concerning health and the medical sciences.

     SEC. 1069. REVIEW OF THE BOTTOM UP REVIEW AND THE FUTURE YEAR 
                   DEFENSE PROGRAM AND ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW 
                   FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND PRIORITIES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
       (1) United States defense policy is to maintain the 
     capability to fight and win two major regional contingencies 
     nearly simultaneously.
       (2) The Secretary of Defense conducted the Bottom Up Review 
     during 1993 to structure the Armed Forces for the Post-Cold 
     War period.
       (3) The United States military force structure has shrunk 
     dramatically since the 1991 Persian Gulf War and some 
     critical force enhancements will not be deployed for several 
     years.
       (4) The Secretary of Defense (in testimony before the 
     Committee on Armed Services of the Senate on February 2, 
     1994) stated that under current inflation assumptions the 
     Department of Defense's Future Years Defense Program includes 
     approximately $20,000,000,000 more in program funding 
     requests for fiscal years 1996 through 1999 than the defense 
     funding levels projected for the President's budget for those 
     years.
       (5) The Secretary of the Navy (in testimony before the 
     Committee on Armed Services of the Senate on March 8, 1994) 
     stated that by 1999 the Department of the Navy will operate 
     only 330 ships, rather than the 346 ships projected in the 
     report on the Bottom Up Review.
       (6) The Secretary of Defense, in his January 1994 Annual 
     Report to the President and Congress, reported that the Air 
     Force will field approximately 100 heavy bombers, rather than 
     the ``up to 184'' assumed in the report on the Bottom Up 
     Review.
       (7) The plans of the Department of Defense for a major 
     regional contingency in the Far East call for up to 5 Army 
     divisions and the plans for a major regional contingency in 
     Southwest Asia call for up to 7 Army divisions, while the 
     report on the Bottom Up Review plans for an Army of 10 active 
     divisions and at least 15 enhanced-readiness Army National 
     Guard brigades.
       (8) The President's budget for fiscal year 1995 assumes the 
     Department of Defense will save at least $6,000,000,000 from 
     procurement reform.
       (9) The first and second rounds of the Base Realignment and 
     Closure Commission have not yet achieved the level of savings 
     initially estimated, and the 1995 base closure round may cost 
     significantly more than is assumed in the President's budget.
       (10) United States forces are presently involved in 
     humanitarian relief efforts in or around Rwanda, in a number 
     of air and maritime operations relating to the United Nations 
     operations in Bosnia, and in a variety of operations relating 
     to Iraq, Haiti, Somalia, and Macedonia.
       (11) United States forces may be called upon in the future 
     to conduct additional humanitarian and relief missions.
       (12) United States forces may be called upon to conduct 
     even more significant operations to enforce a peace agreement 
     in Bosnia and to facilitate the departure from Haiti of the 
     military leadership.
       (13) Many of the forces that are participating in these 
     other-than-war or nontraditional operations would be required 
     early on in the event of one or more major regional 
     contingencies.
       (14) There are inevitable tradeoffs among spending on force 
     structure, readiness, modernization, personnel, pay, and 
     quality of life.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in 
     subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) within 30 days after enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of Defense should initiate a review of the 
     assumptions and conclusions of the President's budget, the 
     report on the Bottom Up Review, and the Future Years Defense 
     Program, such review to include consideration of the various 
     other-than-war or nontraditional operations in which the 
     United States forces are or may be participating;
       (2) not more than 180 days after the review is initiated, 
     the Secretary should submit to the President and Congress a 
     report which--
       (A) describes in detail the force structure required to 
     fight and win two major regional contingencies nearly 
     simultaneously in light of other ongoing or potential 
     operations;
       (B) may also address possible changes in national security 
     planning or programs, including revised alliance 
     arrangements, increased reliance on reserve component forces, 
     or adjustments to the national military strategy; and
       (C) includes an evaluation of an Army configured as 12 
     active duty divisions, a number of which would be rounded out 
     with National Guard combat units;
       (3) not more than 60 days after receipt of the report from 
     the Secretary of Defense, the President should submit to 
     Congress a report detailing the steps the President intends 
     to take to meet the force structure described in the 
     Secretary's report;
       (4) future-years defense budgets submitted to Congress by 
     the President should reflect the funding level necessary to 
     support the force structure described in the report;
       (5) funding for national defense for fiscal years 1995 
     through 1997 should be established at a level sufficient to 
     support a force structure adequate to meet a two-war strategy 
     and to ensure that the United States does not have a hollow 
     force;
       (6) the force structure to meet the requirements of a two-
     war strategy represents the minimum level which should be 
     maintained unless the strategy is modified;
       (7) whenever possible and consistent with the safety of 
     United States personnel, in deploying military forces in 
     support of operations other than war or other nontraditional 
     operations, the President should seek to use forces other 
     than those identified for early deployment in the event of 
     one or more major regional contingencies; and
       (8) the President should be willing to increase defense 
     spending if required to meet new or existing threats.

                   THE STATES OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:

[[Page 1671]]

       (1) The United States has identified nonproliferation of 
     weapons of mass destruction as a high priority in the conduct 
     of United States national security policy.
       (2) The United States is seeking universal adherence to 
     global regimes that control nuclear, chemical, and biological 
     weapons and is promoting new measures that provide increased 
     transparency of biological weapons-related activities and 
     facilities in an effort to help deter violations of and 
     enhance compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention.
       (3) In early 1992, Russian President Boris Yeltsin 
     indicated to former United States President George Bush that 
     Russia still had an offensive biological weapons program.
       (4) A United States Government report dated January 19, 
     1993, on arms control noncompliance noted that Russian 
     declarations up to that date had dramatically underestimated 
     the size, scope, and maturity of the former Soviet biological 
     weapons program.
       (5) Despite President Yeltsin's decree of April 11, 1993, 
     stating that activities in violation of the Biological 
     Weapons Convention are illegal, questions continue to arise 
     regarding offensive biological weapons research, development, 
     testing, production, and storage in Russia as well as in 
     other countries.
       (6) A United States Government report, dated June 23, 1994, 
     states the following: ``The United States has determined that 
     the offensive biological warfare program that Russia 
     inherited from the Soviet Union violated the Biological 
     Weapons Convention through at least March 1992. The Soviet 
     offensive biological weapons program was massive, and 
     included production, weaponization, and stockpiling. The 
     status of the program since that time remains unclear and the 
     U.S. remains concerned about the Russian biological warfare 
     program.''.
       (7) The Joint Statement on Biological Weapons issued by 
     officials of the United States, the United Kingdom, and 
     Russia on September 14, 1992, confirmed the commitment of the 
     three governments to full compliance with the Biological 
     Weapons Convention and outlined steps designed to increase 
     confidence in that commitment.
       (8) The Presidents of Russia and the United States are 
     scheduled to hold a summit meeting in Washington during the 
     month of September 1994.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President should continue to urge all signatories 
     to the Biological Weapons Convention to comply fully with the 
     terms of that convention and with other international 
     agreements relating to the control of biological weapons;
       (2) the President should keep the Congress fully and 
     currently informed regarding any Russian activities related 
     to offensive biological weapons;
       (3) the President should continue to insist that the 
     Russian Government complete the steps noted and agreed to in 
     the Joint Statement on Biological Weapons issued by officials 
     of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia on 
     September 14, 1992;
       (4) subsequent meetings of representatives of the United 
     States, the United Kingdom, and Russia on biological weapons 
     and the September 1994 summit meeting in Washington provide 
     opportunities for the President to again emphasize the 
     importance of resolving the issues related to compliance with 
     the Biological Weapons Convention;
       (5) in assessing the President's fiscal year 1996 budget 
     request for foreign assistance funds for Russia, and for 
     other programs and activities to provide assistance to 
     Russia, including the Cooperative Threat Reduction programs, 
     Congress will consider United States Government assessments 
     of Russia's compliance with its obligations under the 
     Biological Weapons Convention; and
       (6) as the President encourages increased transparency of 
     biological weapons-related activities and facilities to deter 
     violations of, and enhance compliance with, the Biological 
     Weapons Convention, the President should also take 
     appropriate actions to ensure that the United States is 
     prepared to counter the effects of use of biological weapons 
     by others.
       (c) Presidential Reports.--Not later than February 1, 1995, 
     not later than June 1, 1995, and not later than October 1, 
     1995, the President shall submit to Congress a report, in 
     classified and unclassified forms, containing an assessment 
     of the extent of compliance of the independent states of the 
     former Soviet Union with the Biological Weapons Convention 
     and other international agreements relating to the control of 
     biological weapons.
       (d) Content of Report.--The report shall include the 
     following:
       (1) Matters related to compliance.--
       (A) An evaluation of the extent of control and oversight by 
     the government of the Russian Federation over the former 
     Soviet military and dual civilian-military biological warfare 
     programs.
       (B) The extent, if any, of the biological warfare agent 
     stockpile in any of the independent states of the former 
     Soviet Union.
       (C) The extent and scope, if any, of continued biological 
     warfare research, development, testing, and production by 
     such states, including the sites and types of activity at 
     those sites.
       (D) An evaluation of the effectiveness of possible delivery 
     systems of biological weapons, including tube and rocket 
     artillery, aircraft, and ballistic missiles.
       (E) An assessment of measures taken by the Russian 
     Government to complete the steps noted and agreed to in the 
     1992 Joint Statement on Biological Weapons referred to in 
     subsection (b)(3), including a determination of the extent to 
     which Russia has--
       (i) agreed to permit visits to military and nonmilitary 
     biological sites in order to attempt to resolve ambiguities;
       (ii) provided information about biological weapons 
     dismantlement accomplished to date, and further clarification 
     of information provided in its United Nations Declarations 
     regarding biological weapons;
       (iii) been cooperative in exchanging information on a 
     confidential, reciprocal basis concerning past offensive 
     biological weapons programs not recorded in detail in its 
     declarations to the United Nations;
       (iv) cooperated in reviewing potential additional measures 
     to monitor compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention 
     and modalities for testing such measures;
       (v) agreed to an examination of the physical infrastructure 
     of its biological facilities to determine whether there is 
     specific equipment or excess capacity inconsistent with their 
     stated purpose;
       (vi) helped identify ways to promote cooperation and 
     investment in the conversion of biological weapons 
     facilities; and
       (vii) agreed to exchanges of scientists at biological 
     facilities on a long-term basis.
       (2) Matters related to united states capabilities.--
       (A) An evaluation of United States capabilities to detect 
     and monitor biological warfare research, development, 
     testing, production, and storage.
       (B) On the basis of the assessment and evaluations referred 
     to in other provisions of the report, recommendations by the 
     Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
     Staff for the improvement of United States biological warfare 
     defense and counter-measures.
       (e) Limitation.--Of the amount authorized to be 
     appropriated by section 301 for Cooperative Threat Reduction 
     programs, $25,000,000 may not be obligated until the 
     President submits to Congress the first report required under 
     subsection (c).

     SEC. 1208. COORDINATION OF CERTAIN COOPERATIVE THREAT 
                   REDUCTION PROGRAMS.

       (a) Military-to-Military Contact Programs.--(1) None of the 
     funds authorized to be appropriated in section 301 for 
     Cooperative Threat Reduction programs may be obligated for 
     activities under a military-to-military contact program until 
     the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State submit to 
     Congress a joint report on the coordination of military-to-
     military contact programs and comparable activities carried 
     out under their respective jurisdictions.
       (2) The report shall cover the following programs and 
     activities:
       (A) Defense and military-to-military contact programs to be 
     carried out using funds authorized to be appropriated in 
     section 301 for Cooperative Threat Reduction programs.
       (B) Military-to-military contacts and comparable activities 
     that are authorized by section 168 of title 10, United States 
     Code, as added by section 1316.
       (C) Programs authorized under chapter 5 of part II of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2347 et seq.).
       (3) The report shall include a discussion of how the 
     programs and activities referred to in paragraph (2) are 
     carried out to maximize--
       (A) the effect of such programs and activities in enhancing 
     United States foreign policy objectives; and
       (B) cost-efficiency in the conduct of the programs and 
     activities.
       (b) Report.--Section 1207 of the Cooperative Threat 
     Reduction Act of 1993 (title XII of Public Law 103-160; 107 
     Stat. 1777; 22 U.S.C. 5956), is amended by adding at the end 
     the following new paragraph:
       ``(5) A description of how all of the activities carried 
     out under the authority of this title and other laws 
     providing authority for cooperative threat reduction are 
     coordinated with similar activities that are carried out 
     under any other authority, including activities relating to 
     military-to-military contacts, environmental restoration, and 
     housing.''.

     SEC. 1209. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING SAFE AND SECURE 
                   DISMANTLEMENT OF SOVIET NUCLEAR ARSENAL.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) It is a pressing national security challenge for the 
     United States to expedite the safe and secure dismantlement 
     of the nuclear arsenal of the former Soviet Union.
       (2) In particular, it is essential to expedite the return 
     of strategic nuclear warheads from Ukraine, Belarus, and 
     Kazakhstan and to expedite the safe and secure dismantlement 
     of the nuclear delivery vehicles of Ukraine, Belarus, and 
     Kazakhstan.
       (3) Leakage of nuclear materials and technology, and the 
     continuing threat of emigration of scientists and technicians 
     from the former Soviet nuclear weapons complex, pose a grave 
     threat to United States national security and to 
     international stability.
       (4) Congress has authorized so-called ``Nunn-Lugar'' funds 
     to enable the Department of Defense to carry out cooperative 
     activities with states of the former Soviet Union to address 
     the threats described in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3).
       (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in 
     subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State 
     should continue to give their serious attention to carrying 
     out a coordinated strategy for addressing the urgent na- 

[[Page 1672]]

     tional security issues described in subsection (a);
       (2) the United States should expedite the availability and 
     effective application of so-called ``Nunn-Lugar'' funds;
       (3) although activities conducted with those funds should, 
     to the extent feasible, draw upon United States technology 
     and expertise, the United States should work with local 
     contractors in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine when 
     doing so would expedite more effective use of those funds; 
     and
       (4) efforts should be made to make the Science and 
     Technology Centers in Moscow and Kiev, designed to slow the 
     emigration of scientists and technicians from the former 
     Soviet weapons complex, fully operational on an expedited 
     basis.
        TITLE XIII--MATTERS RELATING TO ALLIES AND OTHER NATIONS
                  Subtitle A--Matters Relating to NATO

     SEC. 1301. COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS 
                   WITH NATO ORGANIZATIONS.

       (a) Applicability of Existing Authority to NATO 
     Organizations.--Section 2350a of title 10, United States 
     Code, is amended in subsections (a), (e)(2), and (i)(1) by 
     inserting ``or NATO organizations'' after ``major allies of 
     the United States'' each place it appears.
       (b) NATO Organization Defined.--Subsection (i) of such 
     section is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     paragraph:
       ``(4) The term `NATO organization' means any North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization subsidiary body referred to in section 
     2350(2) of this title and any other organization of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization.''.

     SEC. 1302. NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has served as a 
     bulwark of peace, security, and democracy for the United 
     States and the members of the alliance since 1949.
       (2) The unswerving resolve of the member states of the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization to mutual defense against 
     the threat of communist aggression was central to the demise 
     of the Warsaw Pact.
       (3) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is the most 
     successful international security organization in history and 
     is well suited to help marshal cooperative political, 
     diplomatic, economic, and humanitarian efforts, buttressed by 
     credible military capability aimed at deterring conflict, and 
     thus contributing to international peace and security.
       (4) The threat of instability in Eastern and Central 
     Europe, as well as in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean, 
     continues to pose a fundamental challenge to the interests of 
     the member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
       (5) North Atlantic Treaty Organization assets have been 
     deployed in recent years for more than the territorial 
     defense of alliance members, and the Rome Summit of October 
     1991 adopted a new strategic concept for the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization that entertained the possibility of 
     operations beyond the alliance's self-defense area.
       (6) In Oslo in July 1992, and in Brussels in December 1992, 
     the alliance embraced the deployment of North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization forces to peacekeeping operations under the 
     auspices of the United Nations or the Conference on Security 
     and Cooperation in Europe.
       (7) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization should attempt 
     to cooperate with and seek a mandate from international 
     organizations such as the United Nations when considering 
     responses to crises outside the alliances's self-defense 
     area.
       (8) Not all members of the international community share a 
     commonality of interests that would ensure timely action by 
     the United Nations Security Council.
       (9) It is critical that the security interests of the 
     member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     not be held hostage to indecision at the United Nations or a 
     veto by a permanent member of the Security Council.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) it should be the policy of the United States that, in 
     accordance with article 53 of the United Nations Charter, the 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization retains the right of 
     autonomy of action regarding missions in addition to 
     collective defense should the United Nations Security Council 
     or the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe fail 
     to act;
       (2) while it is desirable to work with other international 
     organizations and arrangements where feasible in dealing with 
     threats to the peace, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     is not an auxiliary to the United Nations or any other 
     organization; and
       (3) the member states of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization reserve the right to act collectively in defense 
     of their vital interests.

     SEC. 1303. AUTHORIZED END STRENGTH FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL IN 
                   EUROPE.

       (a) End Strength.--Paragraph (1) of section 1002(c) of the 
     Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928 
     note), is amended to read as follows:
       ``(1) The end strength level of members of the Armed Forces 
     of the United States assigned to permanent duty ashore in 
     European member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization may not exceed a permanent ceiling of 
     approximately 100,000 in any fiscal year.''.
       (b) Exclusion of Certain Island-Based Troops in Calculation 
     of Authorized End Strength.--Such section is further amended 
     by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(3) For purposes of this subsection, members of the Armed 
     Forces of the United States assigned to permanent duty ashore 
     in Iceland, Greenland, and the Azores are excluded in 
     calculating the end strength level of members of the Armed 
     Forces assigned to permanent duty ashore in European member 
     nations of NATO.''.
       (c) Conforming Amendment.--Section 1303 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 
     102-484; 106 Stat. 2546) is repealed.
       (d) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) 
     shall take effect on October 1, 1995.

     SEC. 1304. ALLIED SHARE OF INSTALLATIONS COSTS.

       (a) Goal for Allied Contributions.--In continuing efforts 
     to enter into revised host-nation agreements as described in 
     section 1301(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484; 106 Stat. 2545) and 
     section 1401(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 107 Stat. 1824), the 
     President shall seek to have European member nations of NATO 
     assume an increased share of the nonpersonnel costs for 
     United States military installations in those nations so that 
     by September 30, 1996, those nations have assumed 37.5 
     percent of such costs.
       (b) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) The term ``nonpersonnel costs'', with respect to United 
     States military installations in European member nations of 
     NATO, means costs for those installations other than costs 
     paid from military personnel accounts.
       (2) The term ``contributions'', with respect to the share 
     of such nonpersonnel costs assumed by the European member 
     nations of NATO, means those cash and in-kind contributions 
     made by such nations that replace expenditures that would 
     otherwise be made by the Secretary using funds appropriated 
     or otherwise made available in defense appropriations Acts.

     SEC. 1305. PAYMENTS-IN-KIND FOR RELEASE OF UNITED STATES 
                   OVERSEAS MILITARY FACILITIES TO NATO HOST 
                   COUNTRIES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States has invested $6,500,000,000 in 
     military infrastructure in North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) countries.
       (2) As part of an overall plan to reduce United States 
     troop strength overseas, the Department of Defense plans to 
     close, or reduce United States military presence at, 867 
     military sites outside the United States.
       (3) Most of the military sites outside the United States 
     announced for closure are in Europe, where the United States 
     has already closed 434 such sites while carrying out a 
     reduction in troop strength in Europe from 323,432 in 1987 to 
     approximately 100,000 by the end of fiscal year 1996.
       (4) When the United States closes military sites in Europe, 
     it leaves buildings, roads, sewers, and other real property 
     improvements behind.
       (5) Some of the European NATO allies have agreed to pay the 
     United States for the residual value of the real property 
     improvements left behind.
       (6) Although the United States military drawdown has been 
     rapid since 1990, European allies have been slow to pay the 
     United States the residual value of the sites released by the 
     United States.
       (7) As of 1994, the United States has recouped only 
     $33,300,000 in cash, most of which was recovered in 1989.
       (8) Although the United States has released to Germany over 
     60 percent of the military sites planned for closure by the 
     United States in that country and the current value of United 
     States facilities to be returned to the German government is 
     estimated at approximately $2,700,000,000, the German 
     government has budgeted only $25,000,000 for fiscal year 1994 
     for payment of compensation for the United States investment 
     in those facilities.
       (b) Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President should redouble efforts to recover the 
     value of the United States investment in the military 
     infrastructure in NATO countries;
       (2) the President should enter into negotiations with the 
     government of each NATO host country with a presumption that 
     payments to compensate the United States for the negotiated 
     value of improvements will be made in cash and deposited in 
     the Department of Defense Overseas Military Facility 
     Investment Recovery Account;
       (3) the President should enter into negotiations for 
     payments-in-kind only as a last resort and only after 
     informing the Congress that negotiations for cash payments 
     have not been successful; and
       (4) to the extent that in-kind contributions are received 
     in lieu of cash payments in any fiscal year, the in-kind 
     contributions should be used for projects that are identified 
     priorities of the Department of Defense.
       (c) Requirements and Limitations Relating to Payments-in-
     Kind.--(1) Subsection (e) of section 2921 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (10 U.S.C. 
     2687 note) is amended--
       (A) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``Negotiations for Payments-
     in-Kind.--'';
       (B) by striking out ``a written notice'' and all that 
     follows and inserting in lieu thereof

[[Page 1673]]

     ``to the appropriate congressional committees a written 
     notice regarding the intended negotiations.''; and
       (C) by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
       ``(2) The notice shall contain the following:
       ``(A) A justification for entering into negotiations for 
     payments-in-kind with the host country.
       ``(B) The types of benefit options to be pursued by the 
     Secretary in the negotiations.
       ``(C) A discussion of the adjustments that are intended to 
     be made in the future-years defense program or in the budget 
     of the Department of Defense for the fiscal year in which the 
     notice is submitted or the following fiscal year in order to 
     reflect costs that it may no longer be necessary for the 
     United States to incur as a result of the payments-in-kind to 
     be sought in the negotiations.
       ``(3) For purposes of this subsection, the appropriate 
     congressional committees are--
       ``(A) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
     Appropriations, and the Defense Subcommittees of the 
     Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives; 
     and
       ``(B) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
     Appropriations, and the Defense Subcommittees of the 
     Committee on Appropriations of the Senate.''.
       (2) Such section is further amended by adding at the end 
     the following new subsection:
       ``(h) Congressional Oversight of Payments-In-Kind.--(1) Not 
     less than 30 days before concluding an agreement for 
     acceptance of military construction or facility improvements 
     as a payment-in-kind, the Secretary of Defense shall submit 
     to Congress a notification on the proposed agreement. Any 
     such notification shall contain the following:
       ``(A) A description of the military construction project or 
     facility improvement project, as the case may be.
       ``(B) A certification that the project is needed by United 
     States forces.
       ``(C) An explanation of how the project will aid in the 
     achievement of the mission of those forces.
       ``(D) A certification that, if the project were to be 
     carried out by the Department of Defense, appropriations 
     would be necessary for the project and it would be necessary 
     to provide for the project in the next future-years defense 
     program.
       ``(2) Not less than 30 days before concluding an agreement 
     for acceptance of host nation support or host nation payment

     one or more of the military departments.
       ``(C) A certification that, unless the payment-in-kind is 
     accepted or funds are appropriated for payment of such costs, 
     the military mission of the United States forces with respect 
     to the host nation concerned will be adversely affected.''.

     SEC. 1315. REVIEW AND REPORT REGARDING DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 
                   PROGRAMS RELATING TO REGIONAL SECURITY AND HOST 
                   NATION DEVELOPMENT IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The political environment in the Western Hemisphere has 
     been characterized in recent years by significant democratic 
     advances and an absence of international strife, but 
     democracy in some nations of the region is fragile.
       (2) It is desirable for the Department of Defense to 
     perform a positive role in influencing the defense 
     establishments and military forces of nations in the Western 
     Hemisphere to make positive contributions to the democratic 
     process and to domestic development programs of their 
     respective nations.
       (3) Congress receives a number of annual reports relating 
     to specific authorities granted to the Secretary of Defense 
     under title 10, United States Code, such as the authorities 
     relating to the conduct of bilateral or regional cooperation 
     programs under section 1051 of that title, participation of 
     developing countries in combined exercises under section 2010 
     of that title, and the training of special operations forces 
     with friendly forces under section 2011 of that title.
       (4) The annual reports are replete with statistics and 
     dollar figures and generally lacking in substance.
       (5) Congress does not receive annual reports with respect 
     to other authorities of the Secretary of Defense, such as 
     that relating to Latin American cooperation under section 
     1050 of title 10, United States Code.
       (6) Testimony before Congress (including in particular the 
     testimony of the commander of the United States Southern 
     Command and the commander of the United States Atlantic 
     Command) has emphasized the conduct of a large number of 
     complementary programs under the leadership and supervision 
     of those two commanders to foster appropriate military roles 
     in democratic host nations and to assist countries in 
     developing forces properly trained to address their security 
     needs, including needs regarding illegal immigration, 
     insurgencies, smuggling of illegal arms, munitions, and 
     explosives across borders, and drug trafficking.
       (7) Most of the programs referred to in paragraph (6) 
     provide excellent and often unique training and experience to 
     the United States forces involved.
       (8) Military-to-military contact programs in the Western 
     Hemisphere provide another tool to encourage a democratic 
     orientation of the defense establishments and military forces 
     of countries in the region.
       (9) There is a need for the Secretary of Defense to conduct 
     a comprehensive review of the several authorities in title 
     10, United States Code, for the Secretary of Defense to 
     engage in cooperative regional security programs with other 
     countries in the Western Hemisphere in order to determine 
     whether the authorities continue to be appropriate and 
     necessary, particularly in the light of the changed 
     circumstances in the region.
       (10) There is a need for the Secretary of Defense to 
     conduct a comprehensive review of various programs carried 
     out pursuant to such authorities to ensure that such programs 
     are designed to meet the needs of the host nations involved 
     and the regional strategic and foreign policy objectives of 
     the United States, including promotion of sustainable 
     development, effective control of the military by elected 
     civilian authorities, reliable regional security accords, and 
     the appropriate role for militaries in democratic societies.
       (11) There is a need for the Secretary of Defense to assess 
     the strengths and weaknesses of the various regional security 
     organizations, defense forums, and defense education 
     institutions in the Western Hemisphere in order to identify 
     any improvements needed to harmonize the defense policies of 
     the United States and those of friendly nations of the 
     region.
       (b) Review and Report.--Not later than May 1, 1995, the 
     Secretary of Defense, shall--
       (1) in consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 
     of Staff and the commanders of the combatant commands 
     responsible for regions in the Western Hemisphere, carry out 
     a comprehensive review and assessment of the matters referred 
     to in paragraphs (2), (9), (10), and (11) of subsection (a); 
     and
       (2) submit to Congress a report on the review and 
     assessment carried out pursuant to paragraph (1).

     and comprehensive description, discussion, and analysis of 
     the following:
       (1) The Department of Defense plan to support United States 
     strategic objectives in the Western Hemisphere.
       (2) The external and internal threats to the national 
     security of the nations of the region.
       (3) The various regional security cooperative programs 
     carried out by the Department of Defense in the region in

     nations and in the United States and defense contacts set 
     forth on a country-by-country basis, the statutory authority, 
     if any, for such programs, and the strategic objectives 
     served.
       (4) The various regional security organizations, defense 
     forums, and defense education institutions that the United 
     States maintains or in which the United States participates.
       (5) The contribution that such programs, defense contacts, 
     organizations, forums, and institutions make to the 
     advancement of regional security, host nation security and 
     national development, United States strategic objectives, and 
     United States foreign policy objectives as described in 
     paragraph (10) of subsection (a).
       (6) United States humanitarian civic assistance and civic 
     action programs conducted with host countries in the region 
     and the effect that those programs have had in furthering the 
     objectives described in paragraph (10) of subsection (a).
       (7) The changes made or to be made in the programs, 
     organizations, forums, and institutions referred to in 
     paragraphs (3), (4), (5), and (6) as a result of the 
     comprehensive review.
       (d) Recommended Legislation.--The report shall include any 
     recommendations for legislation that the Secretary considers 
     necessary to improve the ability of the Department to achieve 
     its strategic objectives in the Western Hemisphere.
       (e) Classification of Report.--The report shall be 
     submitted in an unclassified form and may, if necessary, have 
     a classified supplement.

           Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Specific Countries

     SEC. 1321. DEFENSE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND 
                   ISRAEL.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The President has reiterated the long-standing United 
     States commitment to maintaining the qualitative superiority 
     of the Israeli Defense Force over any combination of 
     adversaries.
       (2) Congress continues to recognize the many benefits to 
     the United States from its strategic relationship with 
     Israel, including enhancing regional stability and technical 
     cooperation.
       (3) Despite the momentous peace process in which Israel and 
     its neighbors are productively engaged, Israel continues to 
     face difficult threats to its national security that are 
     compounded by the proliferation of weapons of mass 
     destruction and ballistic missiles.
       (4) Congress is supportive of the objective of the 
     President to enhance United States-Israel military and 
     technical cooperation, particularly in the areas of missile 
     defense and counter-proliferation.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President should ensure that any conventional 
     defense system or technology offered for release to any NATO 
     or other major non-NATO ally should concurrently be available 
     for purchase by Israel unless such action would contravene 
     United States national interests; and
       (2) the President should make available to Israel, within 
     existing technology transfer laws, regulations, and policies, 
     advanced United States technology necessary for continued 
     progress in cooperative United States-Israel research and 
     development of theater missile defenses.

     SEC. 1322. READINESS OF MILITARY FORCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF 
                   KOREA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Under existing security arrangements between the United 
     States and the Republic of Korea, responsibility for the 
     defense of the territory of the Republic of Korea is 
     allocated so that the Republic of Korea has primary 
     responsibility for the ground defense of its territory and 
     the United States has primary responsibility for air and sea 
     defense of the Korean peninsula and for reinforcement.
       (2) The Force Improvement Program of the Republic of Korea 
     has not fully addressed critical shortfalls in its ground 
     force capability which continue to exist even though the 
     Republic of Korea spends approximately $12,000,000,000 
     annually on defense while the Democratic People's Republic of 
     Korea spends approximately $4,000,000,000 annually on 
     defense. The Republic of Korea has directed substantial 
     defense resources to procuring submarines, destroyers, 
     advanced aircraft, and other military systems that are 
     marginal to its primary ground defense responsibility.
       (3) The defense acquisition decisions of the Republic of 
     Korea have had the effect of not allowing the Republic of 
     Korea to attain self-sufficiency in its ground defense 
     responsibility. As a result, there exists an undue burden on 
     the United States for the ground defense of the Korean 
     peninsula.
       (4) The lack of intelligence capability to forecast the 
     military intentions of the Democratic People's Republic of 
     Korea presents major problems for the combined United States-
     Republic of Korea defense of South Korea.
       (5) A short-warning attack by the Democratic People's 
     Republic of Korea would cause major losses to the combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea ground force.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President should urge the Republic of Korea to continue 
     to improve its military ground forces with emphasis on 
     counterartillery capabilities, defense against ballistic 
     missiles and weapons of mass destruction, combined United 
     States-Republic of Korea logistics capabilities, combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea medical support, and combined 
     United States-Republic of Korea capabilities for tactical 
     intelligence and indications and warning of a North Korean 
     attack.
       (c) Report.--Not later than January 15, 1995, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit to Congress a report, in classified 
     form, on--
       (1) the readiness of the military forces of the Republic of 
     Korea to defeat an attack by the military forces of the 
     Democratic People's Republic of Korea; and
       (2) the adequacy of the defense acquisition strategy of the 
     Republic of Korea to meet its primary ground defense mission.

     SEC. 1323. MILITARY PLANNING FOR THE SIZE AND STRUCTURE OF A 
                   FORCE REQUIRED FOR A MAJOR REGIONAL CONTINGENCY 
                   ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Secretary of Defense conducted the Bottom-Up Review 
     during 1993 to establish the size and structure for the Armed 
     Forces for the Post-Cold-War era.
       (2) The report on the Bottom-Up Review cites the need for 
     the Armed Forces to be large enough to prevail in two major 
     regional conflicts ``nearly simultaneously''.
       (3) The report on the Bottom-Up Review gives special 
     consideration to a scenario that hypothesizes that the two 
     ``nearly simultaneous'' conflicts would occur in Korea and 
     the Persian Gulf.
       (4) The United States sent 7 Army divisions, the equivalent 
     of 10 Air Force tactical fighter wings, 70 heavy bombers, 6 
     Navy aircraft carrier battle groups, and 5 Marine Corps 
     brigades to the Persian Gulf to fight the war against Iraq.
       (5) The report on the Bottom-Up Review asserts that the 
     forces needed to fight two conflicts similar to that with 
     Iraq can be drawn from a total military force of between 15 
     and 16 Army divisions, 20 Air Force tactical fighter wings, 
     up to 184 heavy bombers, 11 active Navy aircraft carriers 
     (along with one reserve/training carrier), and the equivalent 
     of 12 Marine Corps brigades.
       (6) The report on the Bottom-Up Review recognizes that 
     approximately 100,000 members of the Armed Forces will be 
     stationed in Europe.
       (7) The report on the Bottom-Up Review recognizes that 
     sizeable numbers of United States forces could be involved in 
     peace enforcement and intervention operations at any one 
     time.
       (8) The report on the Bottom-Up Review makes no specific 
     recommendation as to the number of forces to be held in 
     reserve to provide a rotation base either to relieve troops 
     in the event one or both hypothetical conflicts result in 
     lengthy deployments or to replace combat losses.
       (9) Military planners calculate that 430,000 or more United 
     States military personnel may be needed to win a war with 
     North Korea begun by an invasion of South Korea by North 
     Korea.
       (10) In a worst case scenario, the size of the force 
     military planners may request to help defend South Korea 
     could exceed the levels that are consistent with the 
     recommendations of the report on the Bottom-Up Review if the 
     existing and future force requirements for a presence in 
     Europe, possible peace enforcement operations, and an 
     adequate rotation base, as well as a second regional 
     conflict, must be fulfilled simultaneously.
       (11) The Bottom-Up review was conducted for the purpose of 
     force-sizing and was not meant to constrain operational 
     planning.
       (b) Sense of Congress Concerning BUR.--It is the sense of 
     Congress that--
       (1) the force structure identified in the report on the 
     Bottom-Up Review should not be used to limit the size or 
     structure of the force that United States military commanders 
     may request in preparation for a major regional contingency 
     on the Korean peninsula; and
       (2) the conclusions of the Bottom-Up Review should be 
     continuously examined in light of the lessons learned from 
     preparation for a major regional contingency on the Korean 
     peninsula and from other military operations.
       (c) Sense of Congress Concerning Situation on Korean 
     Peninsula.--It is the sense of Congress that the chairmen and 
     ranking minority members of the Committees on Armed Services 
     and chairmen and ranking minority members of the 
     Appropriations Subcommittees on Defense of the Senate and 
     House of Representatives should receive regular briefings 
     from the Secretary of Defense on the situation on the Korean 
     peninsula.

     SEC. 1324. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING THE NORTH KOREAN 
                   NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Between 1950 and 1953, the United States led a military 
     coalition that successfully re- 

[[Page 1677]]

     pelled an invasion of the Republic of Korea by North Korea, 
     at a cost of more than 54,000 American lives.
       (2) The United States and the Republic of Korea ratified a 
     Mutual Security Treaty in 1954 that commits the United States 
     to helping the Republic of Korea defend itself against 
     external aggression.
       (3) Approximately 37,000 United States military personnel 
     are presently stationed in the Republic of Korea.
       (4) The United States and the Republic of Korea have 
     regularly conducted joint military exercises, including 
     ``Team Spirit'' exercises.
       (5) North Korea has built up an armed force nearly twice 
     the size of that in the Republic of Korea and has not 
     renounced the use of force, terrorism, and subversion in its 
     attempts to subdue and subjugate the Republic of Korea.
       (6) Although North Korea signed the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 1985, it has impeded the 
     international inspection of its nuclear facilities that is 
     required of all signatories of that Treaty.
       (7) North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile 
     programs represent a grave threat to the security of the 
     Korean peninsula and the entire world.
       (8) Efforts in recent years by the United States to reduce 
     tensions on the Korean peninsula have included--
       (A) the withdrawal of all nuclear weapons from the 
     territory of the Republic of Korea and a reduction in the 
     number of United States military personnel stationed there;
       (B) the postponement of the 1994 Team Spirit exercises;
       (C) the establishment of direct diplomatic contacts with 
     the North Korean government; and
       (D) the offer of expanded diplomatic and economic contacts 
     with North Korea.
       (9) Weapons-grade plutonium can be extracted from the fuel 
     rods removed from North Korea's principal reactor at 
     Yongbyon.
       (10) International inspectors were not permitted to examine 
     and test in a timely manner spent fuel rods removed from 
     North Korea's principal nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, as 
     required to ensure compliance with North Korea's obligations 
     under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
       (11) Diplomacy concerning the North Korean nuclear program 
     has clearly reached a crucial stage, the unsatisfactory 
     resolution of which would place the international 
     nonproliferation regime in jeopardy and threaten the peace 
     and security of the Korean peninsula, the Northeast Asia 
     region, and, by extension, the rest of the world.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the announced freeze on the North Korean nuclear 
     program should remain in place until internationally agreed-
     upon safeguards of any North Korean civilian nuclear program 
     can be made fully effective;
       (2) the North Korean government should take a further step 
     toward verified cooperation with the international 
     nonproliferation regime by--
       (A) permitting the unfettered international inspection and 
     testing of the spent fuel rods removed from North Korea's 
     nuclear reactor at the Yongbyon nuclear complex, followed by 
     adequate international supervision of the transfer of all 
     spent fuel rods from the Yongbyon complex and their disposal 
     in another country; and
       (B) accepting a comprehensive inspection process as 
     required by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
     Weapons;
       (3) a resolution of the inspection controversy at the 
     Yongbyon complex that allows for anything less than the full 
     international inspection of facilities in that complex 
     required by North Korea's obligations under the Nuclear Non-
     Proliferation Treaty--
       (A) would be unsatisfactory; and
       (B) should prompt the Government of the United States to 
     take such action as would indicate the severity with which 
     the United States views this provocation against 
     international norms; and
       (4) such action should include (but not necessarily be 
     limited to)--
       (A) the seeking of international sanctions against North 
     Korea; and
       (B) the rescheduling of the Team Spirit exercises for 1994.

       (a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this section--
       (1) to express the sense of Congress concerning the 
     international efforts to end the conflict in Bosnia and 
     Hercegovina; and
       (2) to establish a process to end the arms embargo on the 
     Government of Bosnia and Hercegovina.
       (b) Statement of Support.--The Congress supports the 
     efforts of the Contact Group to bring about a peaceful 
     settlement of the conflict in Bosnia and Hercegovina based 
     upon the Contact Group proposal.
       (c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that:
       (1) The United States should work with the member nations 
     of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and with other 
     permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to 
     bring about a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Bosnia 
     and Hercegovina which maintains the territorial integrity of 
     Bosnia and Hercegovina.
       (2) A peaceful settlement of the conflict must preserve an 
     economically, politically, and militarily viable Bosnian 
     state capable of exercising its rights under the Charter of 
     the United Nations as part of a peaceful settlement, which 
     rights include the inherent right of a sovereign state to 
     self defense.
       (3) The acceptance of the Contact Group proposal by the 
     Government of Bosnia and Hercegovina should lead to the 
     lifting of the Bosnia arms embargo.
       (4) In providing weapons to the Bosnian Government or 
     taking other actions, care should be taken to provide for the 
     safety of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and 
     the civilian personnel working for the United Nations or 
     nongovernmental volunteer organizations.
       (5) The United States should immediately seek to organize 
     an international effort to provide assistance to the states 
     bordering Serbia and Montenegro to bring about more effective 
     enforcement by those states of the international economic 
     sanctions on the Government of Serbia and Montenegro.
       (d) General United States Policy.--The United States should 
     exercise leadership within the international community to 
     cause the Bosnian Serb faction to accept the Contact Group 
     proposal. Such action should be taken on separate but 
     complementary international and unilateral tracks, as set 
     forth in subsections (e), (f), and (g).
       (e) International Policy.--If the Bosnian Serbs do not 
     accept the Contact Group proposal by the date that is the 
     later of October 15, 1994, or the end of the 10-day period 
     beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
     President (or his representative) should, not later than 14 
     days thereafter, formally introduce and support in the United 
     Nations Security Council a resolution to terminate the Bosnia 
     arms embargo. The resolution should provide for the 
     termination of the arms embargo no later than December 1, 
     1994 (and may allow for the termination to be accomplished in 
     stages ending no later than that date).
       (f) Unilateral United States Policy.--(1) If by the earlier 
     of November 15, 1994, or the end of the 15-day period 
     beginning on the date on which a resolution described in 
     subsection (e) (or a similar resolution) is formally 
     introduced, the United Nations Security Council has not 
     agreed to such a resolution and the Bosnian Serbs have not 
     accepted the Contact Group proposal--
       (A) the funding limitation specified in paragraph (2) shall 
     be in effect;
       (B) the President shall submit a plan to, and shall consult 
     with, Congress on the manner in which United States Armed 
     Forces and the military forces of friendly states would 
     provide training to the armed forces of the Government of 
     Bosnia and Hercegovina outside of the territory of Bosnia and 
     Hercegovina; and
       (C) the President shall submit a plan to, and shall consult 
     with, Congress regarding the unilateral termination by the 
     United States of compliance with the Bosnia arms embargo and 
     the implications thereof.
       (2) If the funding limitation specified in this paragraph 
     is in effect pursuant to paragraph (1)(A), then no funds 
     appropriated by any provision of law may be used for the 
     purpose of participation in, support for, or assistance to 
     the enforcement of the Bosnia arms embargo by any Department, 
     agency or other entity of the United States (or by any 
     officer or employee of the United States or member of the 
     Armed Forces of the United States) other than as required of 
     all United Nations member states under the United Nations 
     Security Council resolution referred to in subsection (h)(3) 
     and the Charter of the United Nations.
       (3)(A) The President may waive the limitation in paragraph 
     (2) in the case of United States military personnel serving 
     in NATO headquarters positions.
       (B) Nothing in paragraph (2) is intended to impede 
     enforcement of sanctions against Serbia.
       (g) Interim Policy.--If the Bosnian Serb faction attacks 
     any area within those areas that have been designated by the 
     United Nations as ``safe areas'', the President (or his 
     representative) should promptly formally introduce and 
     support in the United Nations Security Council a resolution 
     that authorizes a selective lifting of the Bosnia arms 
     embargo in order to allow the provision of defensive weapons 
     (such as anti-tank weapons, counter-battery radars, and 
     mortars) to enable the forces of the Government of Bosnia and 
     Hercegovina to defend the safe areas.
       (h) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       (1) The term ``Contact Group'' means the group composed of

     SEC. 1508. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING INDEFINITE EXTENSION 
                   OF NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, 
     signed at Washington, D.C., London, and Moscow on July 1, 
     1968, is the centerpiece of global efforts to prevent the 
     spread of nuclear weapons.
       (2) The United States has demonstrated longstanding support 
     for that treaty and related efforts to prevent the spread of 
     nuclear weapons.
       (3) President Clinton has declared that preventing the 
     spread of nuclear weapons is one of the highest priorities of 
     his Administration.
       (4) In April 1995, the parties to the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons will convene a conference in 
     New York City to discuss the indefinite extension of the 
     treaty.
       (5) The policy of the President is to seek at that 
     conference the indefinite and unconditional extension of that 
     treaty.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President has the full support of Congress in 
     seeking the indefinite and unconditional extension of the 
     Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons;
       (2) the President, when formulating and implementing other 
     elements of nonproliferation policy of the United States 
     (including United States counterproliferation doctrine, the 
     Nuclear Posture Review, and nuclear testing policy), should 
     take into account the objectives of the United States at the 
     1995 conference of the parties to the Treaty on the Non-
     Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons; and
       (3) the President and the President's senior national 
     security advisers should dedicate themselves to ensuring the 
     indefinite and unconditional extension of the Treaty on the 
     Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at the 1995 conference 
     for that treaty.

     SEC. 1509. NEGOTIATION OF LIMITATIONS ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS 
                   TESTING.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On January 25, 1994, the United States and 37 other 
     nations began negotiations for a comprehensive treaty to ban 
     permanently all nuclear weapons testing.
       (2) On March 14, 1994, the President extended the current 
     United States moratorium on nuclear weapons testing through 
     September 1995.
       (3) The United States is seeking to extend indefinitely the 
     Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at the 
     conference of the parties to the Treaty to be held in New 
     York City in April 1995.
       (4) Conclusion of a comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty 
     could contribute toward successful negotiations to extend the 
     Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
       (5) Agreements to eliminate nuclear weapons testing and to 
     control the spread of nuclear weapons could contribute to the 
     national security of the United States, its allies, and other 
     nations around the world.
       (b) Statement of Congressional Policy.--In view of the 
     findings set forth in subsection (a), Congress--
       (1) applauds the President for maintaining the United 
     States moratorium on nuclear weapons testing and for taking a 
     leadership role toward negotiation of a comprehensive nuclear 
     test ban treaty;
       (2) encourages all nuclear powers to refrain from 
     conducting nuclear explosions, before the conclusion of a 
     comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty; and
       (3) urges the Conference on Disarmament to make all 
     possible progress toward a comprehensive nuclear test ban 
     treaty by the end of 1994.

     such a selection board shall be reserve officers, to include 
     at least one reserve officer from each reserve component from 
     which officers are to be considered by the board. Each member 
     of a selection board must hold a permanent grade higher than 
     the grade of the officers under consideration by the board, 
     and no member of a board may hold a grade below major or 
     lieutenant commander.

     as provided in paragraph (2), a selection board shall include 
     at least one officer from each competitive category of 
     officers to be considered by the board.
       ``(2) A selection board need not include an officer from a 
     competitive category to be considered by the board if there 
     is no officer of that competitive category on the reserve 
     active-status list or the active-duty list in a permanent 
     grade higher than the grade of the officers to be considered 
     by the board and otherwise eligible to serve on the board.

     department concerned, in his discretion, may appoint as a 
     member of the board a retired officer of that competitive 
     category who is in the same armed force as the officers under 
     consideration by the board who holds a higher grade than the 
     grade of the officers under consideration.
       ``(d) Prohibition of Service on Consecutive Promotion 
     Boards.--No officer may be a member of two successive 
     promotion boards convened under section 14101(a) of this 
     title for the consideration of officers of the same 
     competitive category and grade if the second of the two 
     boards is to consider any officer who was considered and not 
     recommended for promotion to the next higher grade by the 
     first of the two boards.

     14101 of this title shall take an oath to perform the duties

     Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the military 
     department concerned, the appointment of an officer to a 
     higher grade may be delayed if any of the following applies 
     before the date on which the appointment would otherwise be 
     made:
       ``(A) Sworn charges against the officer have been received 
     by an officer exercising general court-martial jurisdiction 
     over the officer and the charges have not been disposed of.
       ``(B) An investigation is being conducted to determine 
     whether disciplinary action of any kind should be brought 
     against the officer.
       ``(C) A board of officers has been convened under section 
     14903 of this title to review the record of the officer.
       ``(D) A criminal proceeding in a Federal or State court of 
     competent jurisdiction is pending against the officer.
       ``(2) If disciplinary action is not taken against the 
     officer, if the charges against the officer are withdrawn or 
     dismissed, if the officer is not separated by the Secretary 
     of the military department concerned as the result of having 
     been required to show cause for retention, or if the officer 
     is acquitted of the charges, as the case may be, then (unless 
     action to delay the officer's appointment to the higher grade 
     has been taken under subsection (b)) the officer shall be 
     retained on the promotion list, list of officers found 
     qualified for Federal recognition, or list of officers 
     nominated by the President to the Senate for appointment in a 
     higher reserve grade and shall, upon promotion to the next 
     higher grade, have the same date of rank, the same effective 
     date for the pay and allowances of the grade to which 
     promoted, and the same position on the reserve active-status 
     list as the officer would have had if no delay had 
     intervened, unless the Secretary concerned determines that 
     the officer was unqualified for promotion for any part of the 
     delay. If the Secretary makes such a determination, the 
     Secretary may adjust such date of rank, effective date of pay 
     and allowances, and position on the reserve active-status 
     list as the Secretary considers appropriate under the 
     circumstances.
       ``(b) Delay for Lack of Qualifications.--Under regulations 
     prescribed by the Secretary of the military department 
     concerned, the appointment of an officer to a higher grade 
     may also be delayed if there is cause to believe that the 
     officer is mentally, physically, morally, or professionally 
     unqualified to perform the duties of the grade to which 
     selected. If the Secretary concerned later determines that 
     the officer is qualified for promotion to the higher grade, 
     the officer shall be retained on the promotion list, the list 
     of officers found qualified for Federal recognition, or list 
     of officers nominated by the President to the Senate for 
     appointment in a higher reserve grade, and shall, upon 
     promotion to that grade, have the same date of rank, the same 
     effective date for pay and allowances of that grade, and the 
     same position on the reserve active-status list as the 
     officer would have had if no delay had intervened, unless the 
     Secretary concerned determines that the officer was 
     unqualified for promotion for any part of the delay. If the 
     Secretary makes such a determination, the Secretary may 
     adjust such date of rank, effective date of pay and 
     allowances, and position on the reserve active-status list as 
     the Secretary considers appropriate under the circumstances.
       ``(c) Notice to Officer.--(1) The appointment of an officer 
     to a higher grade may not be delayed under subsection (a) or 
     (b) unless the officer is given written notice of the grounds 
     for the delay. The preceding sen- 

[[Page 1687]]

     tence does not apply if it is impracticable to give the 
     officer written notice before the date on which the 
     appointment to the higher grade would otherwise take effect, 
     but in such a case the written notice shall be given as soon 
     as practicable.
       ``(2) An officer whose promotion is delayed under 
     subsection (a) or (b) shall be given an opportunity to make a 
     written statement to the Secretary of the military department 
     concerned in response to the action taken. The Secretary 
     shall give consideration to any such statement.
       ``(d) Maximum Length of Delay in Promotion.--The 
     appointment of an officer to a higher grade may not be 
     delayed under subsection (a) or (b) for more than six months 
     after the date on which the officer would otherwise have been 
     promoted unless the Secretary concerned specifies a further 
     period of delay. An officer's appointment may not be delayed 
     more than 90 days after final action has been taken in any 
     criminal case against the officer in a Federal or State court 
     of competent jurisdiction or more than 90 days after final 
     action has been taken in any court-martial case against the 
     officer. Except for court action, a promotion may not be 
     delayed more than 18 months after the date on which the 
     officer would otherwise have been promoted.
       ``(e) Delay Because of Limitations on Officer Strength in 
     Grade or Duties to Which Assigned.--(1) Under regulations 
     prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, the promotion of a 
     reserve officer on the reserve active-status list who is 
     serving on active duty, or who is on full-time National Guard 
     duty for administration of the reserves or the National 
     Guard, to a grade to which the strength limitations of 
     section 12011 of this title apply shall be delayed if 
     necessary to ensure compliance with those strength 
     limitations. The delay shall expire when the Secretary 
     determines that the delay is no longer required to ensure 
     such compliance.
       ``(2) The promotion of an officer described in paragraph 
     (1) shall also be delayed while the officer is on duty 
     described in that paragraph unless the Secretary of the 
     military department concerned, under regulations prescribed 
     by the Secretary of Defense, determines that the duty 
     assignment of the officer requires a higher grade than the 
     grade currently held by the officer.
       ``(3) The date of rank and position on the reserve active-
     status list of a reserve officer whose promotion to or 
     Federal recognition in the next higher grade was delayed 
     under paragraph (1) or (2) solely as the result of the 
     limitations imposed under the regulations prescribed by the 
     Secretary of Defense or contained in section 12011 of this 
     title shall be the date on which the officer would have been 
     promoted to or recognized in the higher grade had such 
     limitations not existed.
       ``(4) If an officer whose promotion is delayed under 
     paragraph (1) or (2) completes the period of active duty or 
     full-time National Guard duty that the officer is required by 
     law or regulation to perform as a member of a reserve 
     component, the officer may request release from active duty 
     or full-time National Guard duty. If the request is granted, 
     the officer's promotion shall be effective upon the officer's 
     release from such duty. The date of rank and position on the 
     reserve active-status list of the officer shall be the date 
     the officer would have been promoted to or recognized in the 
     higher grade had the limitations imposed under regulations 
     prescribed by the Secretary of Defense contained in section 
     12011 of this title not existed. If an officer whose 
     promotion is delayed under paragraph (1) or (2) has not 
     completed the period of active duty or full-time National 
     Guard duty that the officer is required by law or regulation 
     to perform as a member of a reserve component, the officer 
     may be retained on active duty or on full-time National Guard 
     duty in the grade in which the officer was serving before the 
     officer's being found qualified for Federal recognition or 
     the officer's selection for the promotion until the officer 
     completes that required period of duty.

     ``Sec. 14312. Delay of promotion: voluntary

       ``(a) Authority for Voluntary Delays.--(1) The Secretary of 
     the military department concerned may, by regulation, permit 
     delays of a promotion of an officer who is recommended for 
     promotion by a mandatory selection board convened under 
     section 14101(a) or a special selection board convened under 
     section 14502 of this title at the request of the officer 
     concerned. Such delays, in the case of any promotion, may 
     extend for any period not to exceed three years from the date 
     on which the officer would otherwise be promoted.
       ``(2) Regulations under this section shall provide that--
       ``(A) a request for such a delay of promotion must be 
     submitted by the officer concerned before the delay may be 
     approved; and
       ``(B) denial of such a request shall not be considered to 
     be a failure of selection for promotion unless the officer 
     declines to accept a promotion under circumstances set forth 
     in subsection (c).
       ``(b) Effect of Approval of Request.--If a request for 
     delay of a promotion under subsection (a) is approved, the 
     officer's name shall remain on the promotion list during the 
     authorized period of delay (unless removed under any other 
     provision of law). Upon the end of the period of the 
     authorized delay, or at any time during such period, the 
     officer may accept the promotion, which shall be effective on 
     the date of acceptance. Such an acceptance of a promotion 
     shall be made in accordance with regulations prescribed under 
     this section.
       ``(c) Effect of Declining a Promotion.--An officer's name 
     shall be removed from the promotion list and, if the officer 
     is serving in a grade below colonel or, in the case of the 
     Navy, captain, the officer shall be considered to have failed 
     of selection for promotion if any of the following applies:
       ``(1) The Secretary concerned has not authorized voluntary 
     delays of promotion under subsection (a) to the grade 
     concerned and the officer declines to accept an appointment 
     to a higher grade.
       ``(2) The Secretary concerned has authorized voluntary 
     delays of promotion under subsection (a), but has denied the 
     request of the officer for a delay of promotion and the 
     officer then declines to accept an appointment to a higher 
     grade.
       ``(3) The Secretary concerned has approved the request of 
     an officer for a delay of promotion and, upon the end of the 
     period of delay authorized in accordance with regulations 
     prescribed under subsection (a), the officer then declines to 
     accept an appointment to a higher grade.

     ``Sec. 14313. Authority to vacate promotions to grade of 
       brigadier general or rear admiral (lower half)

       ``(a) Authority.--The President may vacate the appointment 
     of a reserve officer to the grade of brigadier general or 
     rear admiral (lower half) if the period of time during which 
     the officer has served in that grade after promotion to that 
     grade is less than 18 months.
       ``(b) Effect of Promotion Being 
     Vacated.--Except as provided in subsection (c), an officer 
     whose promotion to the grade of brigadier general is vacated 
     under this section holds the grade of colonel as a reserve of 
     the armed force of which the officer is a member. An officer 
     whose promotion to the grade of rear admiral (lower half) is 
     vacated under this section holds the grade of captain in the 
     Naval Reserve. Upon assuming the lower grade, the officer 
     shall have the same position on the reserve active-status 
     list as the officer would have had if the officer had not 
     served in the higher grade.
       ``(c) Special Rule for Officers Serving as Adjutant 
     General.--In the case of an officer serving as an adjutant 
     general or assistant adjutant general whose promotion to the 
     grade of brigadier general is vacated under this section, the 
     officer then holds the reserve grade held by that officer 
     immediately before the officer's appointment as adjutant 
     general or assistant adjutant general.

       generals ceasing to occupy positions commensurate with 
       grade; State adjutants general

       ``(a) General Officers.--Within 30 days after a reserve 
     officer of the Army or the Air Force on the reserve active-
     status list in a general officer grade ceases to occupy a 
     position commensurate with that grade (or commensurate with a 
     higher grade), the Secretary concerned shall transfer or 
     discharge the officer in accordance with whichever of the 
     following the officer elects:
       ``(1) Transfer the officer in grade to the Retired Reserve, 
     if the officer is qualified and applies for the transfer.
       ``(2) Transfer the officer in grade to the inactive status 
     list of the Standby Reserve, if the officer is qualified.
       ``(3) Discharge the officer from the officer's reserve 
     appointment and, if the officer is qualified and applies 
     therefor, appoint the officer in the reserve grade held by 
     the officer as a reserve officer before the officer's 
     appointment in a general officer grade.
       ``(4) Discharge the officer from the officer's reserve 
     appointment.
       ``(b) Adjutants General.--If a reserve officer who is 
     federally recognized in the Army National Guard or the Air 
     National Guard solely because of the officer's appointment as 
     adjutant general or assistant adjutant general of a State 
     ceases to occupy that position, the Secretary concerned, not 
     later than 30 days after the date on which the officer ceases 
     to occupy that position, shall--
       ``(1) withdraw that officer's Federal recognition; and
       ``(2) require that the officer--
       ``(A) be transferred in grade to the Retired Reserve, if 
     the officer is qualified and applies for the transfer;

     and appointed in the reserve grade held by the officer as a 
     reserve officer of the Air Force immediately before the 
     appointment of that officer as adjutant general or assistant 
     adjutant general, if the officer is qualified and applies for 
     that appointment; or
       ``(C) be discharged from the officer's reserve appointment.
       ``(c) Credit for Service in Grade.--An officer who is 
     appointed under subsection (a)(3) or (b)(2)(B) shall be 
     credited with an amount of service in the grade in which 
     appointed that is equal to the amount of prior service in an

     was not considered for selection for promotion from in or 
     above the promotion zone by a mandatory promotion board 
     convened under section 14101(a) of this title because of 
     administrative error, the Secretary concerned shall convene a

     for promotion. Any such board shall be convened under 
     regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense and shall 
     be appointed and composed in accordance with section 14102 of

     competitive categories required by that section. The members

     chapter by a selection board but was not selected, the 
     Secretary of the military department concerned may, under 
     regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, convene a 
     special selection board under this subsection to determine

     officer or former officer shall be considered to have failed 
     of selection for promotion by the board which did consider 
     the officer but incurs no additional failure of selection for 
     promotion from the action of the special selection board.

     recommends for promotion and certifying that the board has

     practicable, be appointed to the next higher grade in 
     accordance with the law and policies which would have been 
     applicable had he been recommended for promotion by the board 
     which should have considered or which did consider him.

     pay and allowances of that grade, and the same position on 
     the reserve active-status list as the officer would have had 
     if the officer had been recommended for promotion to that 
     grade by the selection board which should have considered, or 
     which did consider, the officer.

     name was referred to it for consideration, the Secretary 
     concerned may act under section 1552 of this title to correct 
     the military record of the officer or former officer to 
     correct an error or remove an injustice resulting from not 
     being selected for promotion by the board which should have 
     considered, or which did consider, the officer.

     Defense may prescribe by regulation the circumstances under 
     which consideration by a special selection board is 
     contingent upon application for consideration by an officer 
     or former officer and time limits within which an officer or 
     former officer must make such application in order to be 
     considered by a special selection board under this section.

     court of the United States shall have power or jurisdiction--

     officer or former officer of the armed forces to be selected 
     for promotion by a selection board convened under chapter 
     1403 of this title until--
       ``(A) the claim has been referred to a special selection 
     board by the Secretary concerned and acted upon by that

     officer or former officer has been selected for promotion by

     may review a determination by the Secretary concerned under 
     subsection (a)(1), (b)(1), or (e)(3) not to convene a special 
     selection board. If a court finds the determination to be 
     arbitrary or capricious, not based on substantial evidence, 
     or otherwise contrary to law, it shall remand the case to the 
     Secretary concerned, who shall provide for consideration of 
     the officer or former officer by a special selection board 
     under this section.

     selection board which considers an officer or former officer 
     was contrary to law or involved material error of fact or

     the Secretary concerned, who shall provide the officer or

     ``Sec. 123. Authority to suspend officer personnel laws 
       during war or national emergency

       ``(a) In time of war, or of national emergency declared by 
     Congress or the President after November 30, 1980, the 
     President may suspend the operation of any provision of law 
     relating to the promotion, involuntary retirement, or 
     separation of commissioned officers of the Army, Navy, Air 
     Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard Reserve. So long as such 
     war or national emergency continues, any such suspension may 
     be extended by the President.
       ``(b) Any such suspension shall, if not sooner ended, end 
     on the last day of the two-year period beginning on the date 
     on which the suspension (or the last extension thereof) takes 
     effect or on the last day of the one-year period beginning on 
     the date of the termination of the war or national emergency, 
     whichever occurs first. With respect to the end of any such 
     suspension, the preceding sentence supersedes the provisions 
     of title II of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621-
     1622) which provide that powers or authorities exercised by 
     reason of a national emergency shall cease to be exercised 
     after the date of the termination of the emergency.
       ``(c) If a provision of law pertaining to the promotion of 
     reserve officers is suspended under this section and if the 
     Secretary of Defense submits to Congress proposed legislation 
     to adjust the grades and dates of rank of reserve 
     commissioned officers other than commissioned warrant 
     officers, such proposed legislation shall, so far as 
     practicable, be the same as that recommended for adjusting 
     the grades and dates of rank of officers of the regular 
     component of the armed force concerned.''.

     as determined by the Secretary concerned. Exclusion of an 
     officer from the active-duty list as the result of action by

     department concerned to limit the amount of prior 
     commissioned service with which a person receiving an 
     original appointment may be credited under paragraph (1), or 
     to deny any such credit, in the case of a person who at the 
     time of such appointment is credited with constructive

     designated in, or assigned to, officer categories requiring 
     such advanced education or an advanced degree as a 
     prerequisite for such appointment, designation, or 
     assignment. In determining the number of years of

     than, the number of years of advanced education required by a 
     majority of institutions that award degrees in that 
     professional field for completion of the advanced education 
     or award of the advanced degree.
       ``(B)(i) Credit for any period of advanced education in a 
     health profession (other than medicine and dentistry) beyond 
     the baccalaureate degree level which exceeds the basic 
     education criteria for such appointment, designation, or 
     assignment, if such advanced education will be directly used 
     by the armed force concerned.

     than medicine or dentistry), if such experience will be 
     directly used by the armed force concerned.

     internship or equivalent graduate medical, dental, or other 
     formal health professional training required by the armed

     status in a reserve component of the Army, Navy, or Air Force 
     in grades below major or lieutenant commander is critically 
     below the number needed by such reserve component in such 
     grades, the Secretary of Defense may authorize the Secretary 
     of the military department concerned to credit any person who 
     is receiving an original appointment for service as a medical 
     or dental officer with a period of constructive credit in 
     such amount (in addition to any amount credited such person 
     under subsection (b)) as will result in the grade of such 
     person being that of captain or, in the case of the Naval 
     Reserve, lieutenant.
       ``(3) Except as authorized by the Secretary concerned in 
     individual cases and under regulations prescribed by the

     to or designation in an officer category in which advanced 
     education or training or special experience is required.

     subsection (b) for education, training, or experience 
     obtained while serving as a commissioned officer (other than 
     a warrant officer) on active duty or in an active status. 
     However, in the case of an officer

     who completes advanced education or receives an advanced 
     degree while on active duty or in an active status and in 
     less than the number of years normally required to complete 
     such advanced education or receive such advanced degree, 
     constructive service may, subject to regulations prescribed 
     under subsection (a)(2), be credited to the officer under 
     subsection (b)(1)(A) to the extent that the number of years 
     normally required to complete such advanced education or 
     receive such advanced degree exceeds the actual number of 
     years in which such advanced education or degree is obtained 
     by the officer.
       ``(d) If the Secretary of Defense determines that the 
     number of qualified judge advocates serving on the active-
     duty list of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps in 
     grades below lieutenant commander or major is critically 
     below the number needed by that armed force in those grades, 
     the Secretary of Defense may authorize the Secretary of the 
     military department concerned to credit any person who is 
     receiving an original appointment with a view to assignment 
     to the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the Army or 
     appointment to the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the 
     Navy, or who is receiving an original appointment in the Air 
     Force or Marine Corps with a view to designation as a judge 
     advocate, with a period of constructive service in such an 
     amount (in addition to any amount credited such person under 
     subsection (b)) as will result in the grade of such person 
     being that of captain or, in the case of the Navy, 
     lieutenant, and the date of rank of such person being junior 
     to that of all other officers of the same grade serving on 
     the active-duty list.

     SEC. 2204. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS, NAVY.

       (a) In General.--Subject to subsection (c), funds are 
     hereby authorized to be appropriated for fiscal years 
     beginning after September 30, 1994, for military 
     construction, land acquisition, and military family housing 
     functions of the Department of the Navy in the total amount 
     of $1,591,824,000 as follows:

     States authorized by section 2201(a), $309,070,000.
       (2) For military construction projects outside the United 
     States authorized by section 2201(b), $50,810,000.
       (3) For unspecified minor construction projects authorized 
     by section 2805 of title 10, United States Code, $7,000,000.
       (4) For architectural and engineering services and 
     construction design under section 2807 of title 10, United 
     States Code, $43,380,000.
       (5) For military family housing functions:
       (A) For construction and acquisition, planning and design, 
     and improvements of military family housing and facilities, 
     $267,465,000.
       (B) For support of military housing (including functions 
     described in section 2833 of title 10, United States Code), 
     $937,599,000, of which not more than $114,336,000 may be 
     obligated or expended for the leasing of military family 
     housing units worldwide.
       (b) Limitation of Total Cost of Construction Projects.--
     Notwithstanding the cost variations authorized by section 
     2853 of title 10, United States Code, and any other cost 
     variation authorized by law, the total cost of all projects 
     carried out under section 2201 of this Act may not exceed--
       (1) the total amount authorized to be appropriated under 
     paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) (as reduced by 
     operation of subsection (c)); and
       (2) $18,000,000 (the balance of the amount authorized under

     which represents the combination of project savings resulting 
     from favorable bids, reduced overhead costs, cancellations 
     due to force structure changes, and cancellations due to 1995 
     base closure and realignment decisions.

     to identify infrastructure improvements that would be 
     necessary to provide Mayport Naval Station, Florida, with the 
     capability to serve as a homeport for a nuclear powered 
     aircraft carrier and the programmatic environmental impact 
     study to identify environmental issues associated with such 
     improvements, the Secretary shall begin design activities for 
     such military construction projects as may be necessary to 
     provide for such a capability.

       (c) Condition on Relocation.--The activities and functions 
     of Pascagoula Coast Guard Station may not be relocated to 
     Pascagoula Naval Station if either--
       (1) the Secretary of the Navy determines that the 
     relocation of the Coast Guard facility would interfere with 
     the performance of the mission of the Navy at Pascagoula 
     Naval Station; or
       (2) the Secretary of Transportation determines that the 
     relocation of the Coast Guard facility would be incompatible 
     with Coast Guard operations in the Pascagoula area.

     structure plans, that repair of the facility is more cost 
     effective than replacement, and that the project is an

     enter into a limited partnership with one or more private 
     developers to encourage the construction of housing and

[[Page 1720]]

     incentive agreements with private developers who enter into a 
     limited partnership under subsection (a) to ensure that, 
     where appropriate--
       ``(1) a suitable preference will be afforded members of the 
     naval service in the lease or purchase, as the case may be, 
     of a reasonable number of the housing units covered by the 
     limited partnership; or
       ``(2) the rental rates or sale prices, as the case may be, 
     for some or all of such units will be affordable for such 
     members.
       ``(c) Selection of Investment Opportunities.--(1) The 
     Secretary shall use publicly advertised, competitively bid or 
     competitively negotiated, contracting procedures, as provided 
     in chapter 137 of this title, to enter into limited 
     partnerships under subsection (a).
       ``(2) When a decision is made to enter into a limited 
     partnership under subsection (a), the Secretary shall submit 
     a report in writing to the appropriate committees of Congress 
     on that decision. Each such report shall include the 
     justification for the limited partnership, the terms and 
     conditions of the limited partnership, a description of the 
     development costs for projects under the limited partnership, 
     and a description of the share of such costs to be incurred 
     by the Secretary. The Secretary may then enter into the 
     limited partnership only after the end of the 21-day period 
     beginning on the date the report is received by such 
     committees.
       ``(d) Account.--(1) There is hereby established on the 
     books of the Treasury an account to be known as the `Navy

       ``(2) There shall be deposited into the Account--

     to the Account; and
       ``(B) any proceeds received by the Secretary from the 
     repayment of investments or profits on investments of the

       ``(3) In such amounts as is provided in advance in 
     appropriation Acts, the Account shall be available for 
     contracts, investments, and expenses necessary for the 
     implementation of this section.
       ``(4) The Secretary may not enter into a contract in 
     connection with a limited partnership under subsection (a) or 
     a collateral incentive agreement under subsection (b) unless 
     the Account contains sufficient funds, as of the time the 
     contract is entered into, to satisfy the total obligations to 
     be incurred by the United States under the contract.
       ``(e) Navy Housing Investment Board.--(1) The Secretary of 
     the Navy shall establish a board to be known as the `Navy 
     Housing Investment Board', which shall have the duties--
       ``(A) of advising the Secretary regarding those proposed 
     limited partnerships under subsection (a), if any, that are 
     financially and otherwise sound investments for meeting the 
     objectives of this section;
       ``(B) of administering the Account established under 
     subsection (d); and
       ``(C) of assisting the Secretary in such other ways as the 
     Secretary determines to be necessary and appropriate to carry 
     out this section.
       ``(2) The Navy Housing Investment Board shall be composed 
     of seven members appointed for a two-year term by the 
     Secretary. Among such members, the Secretary may appoint two 
     persons from the private sector who have knowledge and 
     experience in the financing and the construction of housing. 
     The Secretary shall designate one of the members as 
     chairperson of the Board.
       ``(3) Members of the Navy Housing Investment Board, other 
     than those members regularly employed by the Federal 
     Government, may be paid while attending meetings of the Board 
     or otherwise serving at the request of the Secretary, 
     compensation at a rate equal to the daily equivalent of the 
     minimum annual rate of basic pay payable for level IV of the 
     Executive Schedule under section 5315 of title 5 for each day 
     (including travel time) during which the member is engaged in 
     the actual performance of duties vested in the Board. Members 
     shall receive travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of

                   MILITARY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS NOT REQUESTED IN 
                   THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL BUDGET REQUEST.

       (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that, to the maximum extent practicable, the Senate should 
     consider the authorization for appropriation of funds for a 
     military construction project not included in the annual 
     budget request of the Department of Defense only if--
       (1) the project is consistent with past actions under the 
     base closure laws;
       (2) the project is included in the military construction 
     plan of the military department concerned incorporated in the 
     Future Years Defense Program;
       (3) the project is necessary for reasons of the national 
     security of the United States; and
       (4) a contract for construction of the project can be 
     awarded in that fiscal year.
       (b) Views of the Secretary of Defense.--In considering 
     these criteria, the Senate should obtain the views of the 
     Secretary of Defense. These views should include whether 
     funds for a military construction project not included in the 
     budget request can be offset by funds for other programs, 
     projects, or activities, including military construction 
     projects, in the budget request and, if so, the specific 
     offsetting reductions recommended by the Secretary of 
     Defense.
       (c) Base Closure Laws Defined.--For purposes of this 
     section, the term ``base closure laws'' means each of the 
     following:
       (1) 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).
       (2) Title II of the Defense Authorization Amendments and 
     Base Closure and Realignment Act (Public Law 100-526; 10 
     U.S.C. 2687 note).
       (3) Section 2687 of title 10, United States Code.

Para. 98.23  message from the president--duty-free access for belarus and 
          uzbekistan

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. FARR, 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 Belarus and Uzbekistan 
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 the level of development and initiation of economic 
reforms in Belarus and Uzbekistan, I have determined that it is 
appropriate to extend GSP benefits to these two countries.
  This notice is submitted in accordance with section 502(a)(1) of the 
Trade Act of 1974.
                                                  William J. Clinton.

     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 seventy-five minutes, with 
     forty-five minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
     chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Natural Resources and thirty minutes equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     Committee on Ways and Means. After general debate the bill 
     shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule 
     for a period of not to exceed three hours (excluding time 
     consumed by recorded votes and proceedings incidental 
     thereto). 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 Natural Resources now printed in the bill, 
     modified by the amendments recommended by the Committee on 
     Ways and Means now printed in the bill and by the amendments 
     printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying

     substitute, as modified, shall be considered as read. All 
     points of order against the committee amendment in the nature 
     of a substitute, as modified, are waived. No amendment 
     directly or indirectly changing section 3(h)(9), section 
     3(h)(12), section 3(h)(13), or section 3(j) of the amendment 
     in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall be in 
     order. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
     amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the 
     House with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any 
     Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any 
     amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill 
     or to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, 
     as modified. The previous question shall be considered as 
     ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage 
     without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 
     or without instructions.

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

     SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Presidio of San Francisco, located amidst the 
     incomparable scenic splendor of the Golden Gate, is one of 
     America's great natural and historic sites;
       (2) the Presidio is the oldest continually operating 
     military post in the Nation dating from 1776, and was 
     designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1962;
       (3) preservation of the cultural and historic integrity of 
     the Presidio for public use would give due recognition to its 
     significant role in the history of the United States;
       (4) the Presidio in its entirety will transfer to the 
     jurisdiction of the National Park Service on September 30, 
     1994, in accordance with Public Law 92-589;
       (5) as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, 
     the Presidio's outstanding natural, historic, scenic, 
     cultural and recreational resources must be managed in a 
     manner which is consistent with sound principles of land use 
     planning and management, and which protect the Presidio from 
     development and uses which would destroy the scenic beauty 
     and natural character of the area;
       (6) activities and management at the Presidio must be 
     consistent with both the Act establishing the Golden Gate 
     National Recreation Area (Public Law 92-589) and the General 
     Management Plan for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, 
     as amended;
       (7) the Presidio will be a global center dedicated to 
     addressing the world's most critical environmental, social, 
     and cultural challenges and a working laboratory at which 
     models of environmental sustainability shall be developed;
       (8) the Presidio, as an urban park, will be managed in a 
     manner that is responsive to the concerns of the public and 
     cognizant of its impact on the local community, and as a 
     public resource, will reflect, in both activities and 
     management, of the diversity that exists in the surrounding 
     community; and
       (9) the Presidio will be managed in an innovative public/
     private partnership that minimizes cost to the United States 
     Treasury and makes efficient use of private sector resources 
     that could be utilized in the public interest.

     SEC. 2. AMENDMENT OF ACT ESTABLISHING GOLDEN GATE NATIONAL 
                   RECREATION AREA.

       (a) Statement of Purposes.--Section 1 of the Act entitled 
     ``An Act to establish the Golden Gate National Recreation 
     Area in the State of California, and for other purposes'', 
     approved October 27, 1972 (Public Law 92-589; 86 Stat. 1299; 
     16 U.S.C. 460bb), is amended by inserting the following after 
     the second sentence: ``In addition, the Secretary may utilize 
     the resources of the Presidio of San Francisco to provide for 
     and support programs and activities that foster research, 
     education or demonstration projects, and relate to the 
     environment, energy, transportation, international affairs, 
     arts and cultural understanding, health and science.''.
       (b) Administration.--Section 4 of such Act is amended by 
     adding the following new subsection at the end thereof:
       ``(g) Interim Authority.--(1) In addition to other 
     available authorities, the Secretary may, in his discretion, 
     negotiate and enter into leases, as appropriate, with any 
     person, firm, association, organization, corporation or 
     governmental entity for the use of any property within the 
     Presidio in accordance with the General Management Plan and 
     any of the purposes set forth in section 1 of this Act.
       ``(2) In addition to other available authorities, the 
     Secretary may, in his discretion, enter into--
       ``(A) interagency permitting agreements or other 
     appropriate agreements with the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and
       ``(B) leases with the American Red Cross, to house their 
     activities and employees at the Presidio.
       ``(3) Any leases or other appropriate agreements entered 
     into under this subsection shall be subject to such 
     procedures, terms, conditions and restrictions as the 
     Secretary deems necessary. The Secretary is authorized to 
     negotiate and enter into leases or other agreements, at fair 
     market value and without regard to section 321 of chapter 314 
     of the Act of June 30, 1932 (40 U.S.C. 303b), fair market 
     value shall take into account the uses permitted by the 
     General Management Plan and this Act. The preceding sentence 
     shall not apply to any interagency permitting agreement 
     entered into between the Secretary and the Secretary of 
     Defense regarding the housing of activities and employees of 
     the Sixth United States Army. For purposes of any such lease 
     or other agreements, the Secretary may adjust the rental by 
     taking into account any amounts to be expended by the lessee 
     for preservation, maintenance, restoration, improvement, 
     repair and related expenses with respect to the leased 
     properties.
       ``(4) The proceeds from leases under this subsection, and 
     from concession and other use authorizations and from other 
     services that may be provided by the recreation area under 
     this subsection shall be retained by the Secretary for 5 
     years after the date of enactment of this paragraph or until 
     the leased property is transferred to the Presidio Trust and 
     shall be available without further appropriation and used to 
     offset the costs of preservation, restoration, maintenance, 
     improvement, repair and related expenses including 
     administration of the above, incurred by the Secretary with 
     respect to Presidio properties, with the balance used to 
     offset other costs incurred by the Secretary in the 
     administration of the Presidio.
       ``(5) Each lessee of a lease entered into under this 
     subsection shall keep such records as the Secretary may 
     prescribe to enable the Secretary to determine that all terms 
     of the lease have been and are being faithfully performed. 
     The Secretary and the Comptroller General and their duly 
     authorized representatives shall, for the purpose of audit 
     and examination, have access to financial records pertinent 
     to the lease and all the terms and conditions thereof.
       ``(6) The Secretary shall annually prepare and submit to 
     Congress a report on property leased under this subsection.
       ``(7) In addition to other available authorities, the 
     Secretary may, in his discretion,

[[Page 1752]]

     enter into cooperative agreements and permits for any of the 
     purposes of the recreation area set out in section 1 of this 
     Act.''.

     SEC. 3. THE PRESIDIO TRUST.

       (a) Establishment.--There is established within the 
     Department of the Interior a non-profit public benefit 
     government corporation to be known as the Presidio Trust 
     (hereinafter in this Act referred to as the ``Trust''). The 
     Trust shall manage, in accordance with the purposes set forth 
     in section 1 of the Act entitled ``An Act to establish the 
     Golden Gate National Recreation Area in the State of 
     California, and for other purposes'', approved October 27, 
     1972 (Public Law 92-589; 86 Stat. 1299; 16 U.S.C. 460bb), and 
     with this Act, the leasing, maintenance, rehabilitation, 
     repair and improvement of property within the Presidio which 
     is transferred to the Trust by the Secretary of the Interior 
     (hereinafter in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary''). 
     The Trust may participate in the development of programs and 
     activities at the properties that have been transferred to 
     the Trust.
       (b) Transfer.--Except as provided in this subsection, the 
     Secretary shall transfer to the Trust, under such terms and 
     conditions as the Secretary deems appropriate, a leasehold in 
     the following properties within the Presidio under the 
     control of the Secretary: the Letterman-LAIR complex, Fort 
     Scott, Main Post, Cavalry Stables, Presidio Hill, Wherry 
     Housing, East Housing, the structures at Crissy Field, and 
     such other properties, within the Presidio as the Secretary 
     and the Trust deems appropriate. Any such property shall be 
     transferred within 60 days after a request is made by the 
     Trust. The leasehold shall be of sufficient term to enable 
     the Trust to obtain necessary and beneficial financing 
     arrangements and to carry out the purposes of this Act. The 
     Secretary may withhold transfer to the Trust of any buildings 
     necessary to house or support activities of the National Park 
     Service. The Secretary may not transfer to the Trust any 
     property irrevocably permitted to the Department of the Army. 
     The Secretary shall transfer, with any transferred property, 
     all leases, concessions, licenses and other agreements 
     affecting such transferred property. The Secretary may 
     transfer any properties within the Presidio to the Trust not 
     requested by the Trust subject to terms and conditions 
     mutually agreed to by the Secretary and the Trust. All 
     proceeds received by the Presidio Trust from the leasing of 
     properties managed by the Trust within the Presidio shall be 
     retained by the Trust without further appropriation and used 
     to offset the costs of administration, preservation, 
     restoration, operation, maintenance, repair, and related 
     expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to such 
     properties.
       (c) Board of Directors.--(1) The powers and management of

     knowledge and experience in one or more of the fields of city

     in making the initial appointments to the Board under 
     subparagraph (D), shall appoint 3 Directors to a term of 2 
     years and 3 Directors to a term of 3 years. Any vacancy on

     consecutive terms.
       (e) Organization and Compensation.--(1) The Board of 
     Directors shall elect at the initial meeting a Chairman and a

     established by the Board may meet and take action on behalf 
     of the Board between meetings to the extent the Board 
     delegates such authority. Delegations to such committees 
     shall not relieve the Board of full responsibility for the 
     carrying out of its functions and duties, and shall be 
     revocable by the Board in its exclusive judgment.
       (3) Members of the Board of Directors shall serve without 
     pay, but may be reimbursed for the actual and necessary 
     traveling and subsistence expenses incurred by them in the 
     performance of the duties of the Trust.
       (4) The Board of Directors shall meet at the call of the 
     Chairman, who shall require it to meet not less often than 
     once every 6 months. A majority of the members of the Board 
     of Directors (or their designated alternates) shall 
     constitute a quorum. The Board shall hold at least one public 
     meeting per year at the Presidio at which time the Board 
     shall report on its operations, accomplishments and goals for 
     the upcoming year.
       (5) Members of the Board of Directors shall not be 
     considered Federal employees by virtue of their membership on 
     the Board, except for purposes of the Federal Tort Claims Act 
     and other statutes defining legal liability.
       (f) Staff.--The Board of Directors shall have the power to 
     appoint and fix the compensation and duties of an Executive 
     Director and such other officers and employees of the Trust 
     as may be necessary for the efficient administration of the

     and compensated without regard to the provisions of title 5, 
     United States Code, governing appointments in the competitive 
     service, and may be paid without regard to the provisions of 
     chapter 51, and subchapter III of chapter 53, title 5, United 
     States Code (relating to classification and General Schedule 
     pay rates), except that no such officer or employee may 
     receive a salary which exceeds the salary payable to officers 
     or employees of the United States classified a level IV of 
     the Executive Schedule.

     the Trust to discharge its responsibilities under this Act, 
     the Trust may issue obligations to the Secretary of the 
     Treasury, but only if the Secretary of the Treasury agrees to

       (i) Use of Federal Personnel, Facilities, and Services.--
     The Secretary and the heads of other Federal departments and 
     agencies may provide personnel, facilities, and other 
     administrative services to the Trust to assist it in carrying 
     out its duties under this Act. Furthermore, the Secretary and 
     the heads of other Federal departments and agencies may loan 
     or transfer to the Trust excess or surplus personal property 
     deemed necessary for the management of the Presidio.
       (j) Taxes.--Since the exercise of the powers granted by 
     this section will be in all respects for the benefit of the 
     people, the Trust is hereby declared to be devoted to an 
     essential public and governmental function and purpose and 
     shall be exempt from all taxes and special assessments of 
     every kind of the State of California, and its political 
     subdivisions, including the City and County of San Francisco.
       (k) Volunteers.--The Secretary may accept, without regard 
     to the Civil Service classification laws, rules, or 
     regulations, the services of the Trust, the Board, and the 
     officers, and employees and consultants of the Board, without 
     compensation from the Department of the Interior, as 
     volunteers in the performance of the functions authorized 
     herein, in the manner provided for under the Volunteers in 
     the Parks Act of 1969 (16 U.S.C. 18g et seq.).
       (l) Savings Clause.--Nothing in this section shall preclude 
     the Secretary from exercising any of his or her lawful powers 
     within the Presidio.
       (m) Affirmative Action.--The Trust shall ensure that 
     affirmative steps are taken, consistent with other Federal 
     law, to afford equal access and equal opportunities for 
     leases, concessions, contracts, subcontracts, and other 
     contracting and employment opportunities to minorities, 
     women, and other socially and economically disadvantaged 
     individuals, commensurate with local availability.
       (n) Financial Records.--The financial records of the Trust 
     shall be available for inspection by the Secretary, the 
     Inspector General of the Department of the Interior, and the 
     Comptroller General at any time and shall be audited by a 
     reputable firm of certified public accountants not less 
     frequently than once each year. Such audit shall be made 
     available to the Secretary and the Congress. The Trust shall 
     be subject to the provisions of the Government Corporation 
     Control Act (31 U.S.C. 9109 et seq.), including the budget 
     and credit provisions, except that the Trust shall submit its 
     budget through and in consultation with the Secretary.
       (o) Leasing.--In managing and leasing the properties 
     transferred to it, the Trust should consider the extent to 
     which prospective tenants maximize the contribution to the 
     implementation of the General Management Plan and to the 
     generation of revenues to offset costs of the Presidio. If 
     the Trust has difficulty securing a tenant for a property 
     under its control, it may enter into negotiation with a 
     prospective tenant whose proposed use may be inconsistent 
     with the approved General Management Plan. The Trust may not 
     enter into a lease which is inconsistent with the approved 
     General Management Plan unless the Secretary makes a finding 
     that the proposed lease will not have a detrimental effect on 
     the natural, historical, scenic and recreational values for 
     which the Golden Gate National Recreation Area was 
     established. For major leasing actions, the Trust shall 
     submit the proposed lease to the Secretary of the Interior or 
     his designee for a period of 10 working days for his review 
     of the lease for consistency with the General Management 
     Plan. Before executing the lease, the Trust shall consider 
     issues of consistency raised by the Secretary or his 
     designee.
       (p) Application of Other Laws.--(1) All general penal 
     statutes relating to the larceny, embezzlement, or conversion 
     of public moneys or property of the United States shall apply 
     to the moneys and property of the Trust.
       (2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C), 
     Federal laws and regulations governing procurement by Federal 
     agencies shall apply to the Trust.
       (B) The Secretary may authorize the Trust, in exercising 
     authority under section 303(g) of the Federal Property and 
     Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 253(g)) 
     relating to simplified purchase procedures, to use as the 
     dollar limit of each purchase or contract under that 
     subsection an amount which does not exceed $500,000.
       (C) The Secretary may authorize the Trust, in carrying out 
     the requirement of section 18 of the Office of Federal 
     Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 416) to furnish to the 
     Secretary of Commerce for publication notices of proposed 
     procurement actions, to use as the applicable dollar 
     threshold for each expected procurement an amount which does 
     not exceed $1,000,000.
       (q) Golden Gate National Recreation Area Advisory 
     Commission.--The Trust shall maintain liaison with the Golden 
     Gate National Recreation Area Advisory Commission in matters 
     relating to the General Management Plan, and shall meet with 
     the Commission at least annually.
       (r) Reversion.--In the event of failure or default, all 
     interests and assets of the Trust shall revert to the United 
     States to be administered by the Secretary.
       (s) Report.--The Trust shall transmit to the Secretary and 
     the Congress, annually each January, a comprehensive and 
     detailed report of its operations, activities, and 
     accomplishments for the prior fiscal year. The report also 
     shall include a section that describes, in general terms, the 
     Trust's goals for the current fiscal year. The portion of the 
     report containing the audited financial statement may be 
     submitted at a later date, but no later than the first day of 
     March of such year.
       (t) Authorization of Appropriations for Presidio.--For 
     purposes of the Presidio, including the Presidio Trust, there 
     is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary such sums 
     as may be necessary, but the aggregate of funds appropriated 
     for purposes of the Presidio (excluding the Presidio Trust) 
     under this subsection and under the Act entitled ``An Act to 
     establish the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in the 
     State of California, and for other purposes'', approved 
     October 27, 1972 (Public Law 92-589; 86 Stat. 1299; 16 U.S.C. 
     460bb) may not exceed $25,000,000 in any one fiscal year. 
     Funds appropriated under this Act (other than funds

[[Page 1754]]

     appropriated for operations) remain available until expended.
       (u) Separability of Provisions.--If any provisions of this 
     Act or the application thereof to any body, agency, 
     situation, or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of 
     the Act and the application of such provision to other 
     bodies, agencies, situations, or circumstances shall not be 
     affected thereby.
       (v) The provisions of the Act of March 3, 1931 (40 U.S.C. 
     276a et seq.; commonly known as the Davis-Bacon Act), and the 
     provisions of the Service Contract Act of 1965 (41 U.S.C. 351 
     et seq.), shall apply to the Trust. All laborers and 
     mechanics employed on the construction, rehabilitation, 
     reconstruction, alteration, or repair of projects funded in 
     whole or in part by the Trust and projects financed in whole 
     or in part by loans, grants, loan guarantees, or any other 
     assistance by the Trust shall be paid wages at rates not less 
     than those prevailing on projects of a similar character in 
     the locality as determined by the Secretary of Labor in 
     accordance with the Act of March 3, 1931 (40 U.S.C. 276a et 
     seq.; commonly known as the Davis-Bacon Act). The Secretary 
     of Labor shall have, with respect to the labor standards 
     specified in this section, the authority and functions set 
     forth in Reorganization Plan Numbered 14 of 1950 (15 F.R. 
     3176; 64 Stat. 1267) and section 2 of the Act of June 13,

                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, August 19, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Para. 100.18  message from the president--export administration act 
          extension

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

To The Congress of the United States:
  Pursuant to section 204(b) of the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1703(b), I hereby report to the Congress that I 
have today exercised the authority granted by this Act to continue in 
effect the system of controls contained in 15 C.F.R., Parts 768-799, 
including restrictions on participation by U.S. persons in certain 
foreign boycott activities, which heretofore have been maintained under 
the authority of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, 50 
U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq. In addition, I have made provision for the 
administration of section 38(e) of the Arms Export Control Act, 22 
U.S.C. 2778(e).
  The exercise of this authority is necessitated by the expiration of 
the Export Administration Act of August 20, 1994, and the lapse that 
would result in the system of controls maintained under that Act.
  In the absence of controls, foreign parties would have unrestricted 
access to U.S. commercial products, technology, technical data, and 
assistance, posing an unusual and extraordinary threat to national 
security, foreign policy, and economic objectives critical to the United 
States. In addition, U.S. persons would not be prohibited from complying 
with certain foreign boycott requests. This would seriously harm our 
foreign policy interests, particularly in the Middle East.
  Controls established in 15 C.F.R. 768-799, and continued by this 
action, include the following:
  --National security export controls aimed at restricting the export of 
    goods and technologies, which would make a significant contribution 
    to the military potential of certain other countries and which would 
    prove detrimental to the national security of the United States.
  --Foreign policy controls that further the foreign policy objectives 
    of the United States or its declared international obligations in 
such widely recognized areas as human rights, antiterrorism, regional 
stability, missile technology nonproliferation, and chemical and 
biological weapons nonproliferation.

--Nuclear nonproliferation controls that are maintained for both 
    national security and foreign policy reasons, and which support the 
    objectives of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Act.
--Short supply controls that protect domestic supplies, and antiboycott 
    regulations that prohibit compliance with foreign boycotts aimed at 
    countries friendly to the United States.
  Consequently, I have issued an Executive order (a copy of which is 
attached) to continue in effect all rules and regulations issued or 
continued in effect by the Secretary of Commerce under the authority of 
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, and all orders, 
regulations, licenses, and other forms of administrative actions under 
the Act, except where they are inconsistent with sections 203(b) and 
206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In this 
Executive order I have also revoked the previous Executive Order No. 
12923 of June 30, 1994, invoking IEEPA authority for the prior lapse of 
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, extended on July 5, 
1994, by Public Law 103-277.
  The Congress and the Executive have not permitted export controls to 
lapse since they were enacted under the Export Control Act of 1949. Any 
termination of controls could permit transactions to occur that would 
be seriously detrimental to the national interests we have heretofore 
sought to protect through export controls and restrictions on 
compliance by U.S. persons with certain foreign boycotts. I believe 
that even a temporary lapse in this system of controls would seriously 
damage our national security, foreign policy, and economic interests 
and undermine our credibility in meeting our international obligations.
  The countries affected by this action vary depending on the 
objectives sought to be achieved by the system of controls instituted 
under the Export Administration Act. Potential adversaries may seek to 
acquire sensitive U.S. goods and technologies. Other countries serve as 
conduits for the diversion of such items. Still other countries have 
policies that are contrary to U.S. foreign policy or nonproliferation 
objectives, or foster boycotts against friendly countries. For some 
goods or technologies, controls could apply even to our closest allies 
in order to safeguard against diversion to potential adversaries.
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, August 19, 1994.

  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. 103-295).

Para. 100.19  senate bill referred

  A bill of the Senate of the following title was taken from the

     officers interacting directly with members of the community 
     (``cops on the beat'');
       (2) provide additional and more effective training to law 
     enforcement officers to enhance their problem solving, 
     service, and other skills needed in interacting with members 
     of the community;
       (3) encourage the development and implementation of 
     innovative programs to permit members of the community to 
     assist State, Indian tribal government, and local law 
     enforcement agencies in the prevention of crime in the 
     community; and
       (4) encourage the development of new technologies to assist 
     State, Indian tribal government, and local law enforcement 
     agencies in reorienting the emphasis of their activities from 
     reacting to crime to preventing crime,

     by establishing a program of grants and assistance in 
     furtherance of these objectives, including the authorization 
     for a period of 6 years of grants for the hiring and rehiring 
     of additional career law enforcement officers.

     State compacts to construct, develop, expand, modify, 
     operate, or improve correctional facilities, including boot

     offenders serve a substantial portion of the sentences 
     imposed, that are designed to provide sufficiently severe 
     punishment for violent offenders, including violent juvenile 
     offenders, and that the prison time served is appropriately

     offender and for a period of time deemed necessary to protect

     policies that provide for the recognition of the rights and

     facilities designed to ensure the incarceration of violent 
     offenders, and that the State or States will share funds 
     received under this section with counties and other units of 
     local government, taking into account the burden placed on 
     these units of government when they are required to confine 
     sentenced prisoners because of overcrowding in State prison

       (a) Study of Suitable Bases.--The Secretary of Defense and 
     the Attorney General shall jointly conduct a study of all 
     military installations selected before the date of enactment 
     of this Act to be closed pursuant to a base closure law for 
     the purpose of evaluating the suitability of any of these 
     installations, or portions of these installations, for 
     conversion into Federal prison facilities. As part of the 
     study, the Secretary and the Attorney General shall identify

     Realignment Act (Public Law 100-526) and the Defense Base 
     Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (part A of title XXIX of 
     Public Law 101-510), the Attorney General shall--
       (A) consider whether using any portion of a military 
     installation closed or scheduled to be closed in the region 
     pursuant to a base closure law provides a cost-effective 
     alternative to the purchase of real property or construction 
     of new prison facilities;
       (B) consider whether such use is consistent with a 
     reutilization and redevelopment plan; and
       (C) give consideration to any installation located in a 
     rural area the closure of which will have a substantial 
     adverse impact on the economy of the local communities and on 
     the ability of the communities to sustain an economic 
     recovery from such closure.
       (2) Consent.--With regard to paragraph (1)(B), consent must 
     be obtained from the local re-use authority for the military

     facility.
       (4) Report on cost-effectiveness.--If the Attorney General 
     decides not to utilize any portion of a closed military 
     installation or an installation scheduled to be closed for 
     locating a prison, the report shall include an analysis of 
     why installations in the region, the use of which as a prison 
     would be consistent with a reutilization and redevelopment 
     plan, does not provide a cost-effective alternative to the 
     purchase of real property or construction of new prison 
     facilities.
       (e) Definition.--In this section, ``base closure law'' 
     means--
       (1) the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990

     the Director may determine necessary to ensure the 
     reliability and accuracy of the drug testing programs. In 
     each judicial district the chief probation officer shall

     release on probation and at least 2 periodic drug tests 
     thereafter (as determined by the court) for use of a 
     controlled substance, but the condition stated in this 
     paragraph may be ameliorated or suspended by the court for 
     any individual defendant if the defendant's presentence 
     report or other reliable sentencing information indicates a 
     low risk of future substance abuse by the defendant.''; and
       (4) by adding at the end the following: ``The results of a 
     drug test administered in accordance with paragraph (4) shall 
     be subject to confirmation only if the results are positive, 
     the defendant is subject to possible imprisonment for such 
     failure, and either the defendant denies the accuracy of such 
     test or there is some other reason to question the results of

     pending verification of a positive drug test result. A drug 
     test confirmation shall be a urine drug test confirmed using 
     gas chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques or such test 
     as the Director of the Administrative Office of the United 
     States Courts after consultation with the Secretary of Health

     accuracy. The court shall consider whether the availability 
     of appropriate substance abuse treatment programs, or an

     warrants an exception in accordance with United States 
     Sentencing Commission guidelines from the rule of section 
     3565(b), when considering any action against a defendant who 
     fails a drug test administered in accordance with paragraph

     the first sentence the following: ``The court shall also 
     order, as an explicit condition of supervised release, that 
     the defendant refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled 
     substance and submit to a drug test within 15 days of release 
     on supervised release and at least 2 periodic drug tests 
     thereafter (as determined by the court) for use of a 
     controlled substance. The condition stated in the preceding 
     sentence may be ameliorated or suspended by the court as 
     provided in section 3563(a)(4). The results of a drug test 
     administered in accordance with the preceding subsection 
     shall be subject to confirmation only if the results are 
     positive, the defendant is subject to possible imprisonment 
     for such failure, and either the defendant denies the 
     accuracy of such test or there is some other reason to 
     question the results of the test. A drug test confirmation 
     shall be a urine drug test confirmed using gas 
     chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques or such test as 
     the Director of the Administrative Office of the United 
     States Courts after consultation with the Secretary of Health 
     and Human Services may determine to be of equivalent 
     accuracy. The court shall consider whether the availability

     drug tests (as determined by the Commission) for use of a 
     controlled substance. The condition stated in the preceding 
     sentence may be ameliorated or suspended by the Commission 
     for any individual parolee if it determines that there is 
     good cause for doing

[[Page 1774]]

     so. The results of a drug test administered in accordance 
     with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall be 
     subject to confirmation only if the results are positive, the 
     defendant is subject to possible imprisonment for such 
     failure, and either the defendant denies the accuracy of such 
     test or there is some other reason to question the results of 
     the test. A drug test confirmation shall be a urine drug test 
     confirmed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry 
     techniques or such test as the Director of the Administrative 
     Office of the United States Courts after consultation with 
     the Secretary of Health and Human Services may determine to 
     be of equivalent accuracy. The Commission shall consider 
     whether the availability of appropriate substance abuse 
     treatment programs, or an individual's current or past 
     participation in such programs, warrants an exception in 
     accordance with United States Sentencing Commission 
     guidelines from the rule of section 4214(f) when considering 
     any action against a defendant who fails a drug test.''.

       (1) 0.25 percent to each State; and
       (2) Of the total amount of funds remaining after allocation 
     under paragraph (1), an amount that is equal to--
       the ratio that the number of part 1 violent crimes reported 
     by such State to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 1993 
     bears to the number of part 1 violent crimes reported by all 
     States to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 1993
       (b) Local Distribution.--(1) The Attorney General shall 
     allocate among the units of general local government in a 
     State the amount allocated to the State under paragraphs (1) 
     and (2) of subsection (a).

     general local government an amount which bears the ratio that 
     the number of part 1 violent crimes reported by such unit to 
     the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 1993 bears to the 
     number of part 1 violent crimes reported by all units in the 
     State in which the unit is located to the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation for 1993 multiplied by the ratio of the 
     population living in all units in the State in which the unit 
     is located that reported part 1 violent crimes to the Federal 
     Bureau of Investigation for 1993 bears to the population of 
     the State; or if such data are not available for a unit, the 
     ratio that the population of such unit bears to the 
     population of all units in the State in which the unit is 
     located for which data are not available multiplied by the

     the population of the State.
       (3) If under paragraph (2) a unit is allotted less than 
     $5,000 for the payment period, the amount allotted shall be 
     transferred to the Governor of the State who shall equitably 
     distribute the allocation to all such units or consortia 
     thereof.

     government that has been incorporated since the date of the 
     collection of the data used by the Attorney General in making 
     allocations pursuant to this section, the Attorney General 
     shall allocate to this newly incorporated local government, 
     out of the amount allocated to the State under this section, 
     an amount bearing the same ratio to the amount allocated to 
     the State as the population of the newly incorporated local 
     government bears to the population of the State. If there is 
     in the State a unit of general local government that has been 
     annexed since the date of the collection of the data used by 
     the Attorney General in making allocations pursuant to this 
     section, the Attorney General shall pay the amount that would 
     have been allocated to this local government to the unit of 
     general local government that annexed it.
       (c) Unavailability of Information.--For purposes of this 
     section, if data regarding part 1 violent crimes in any State 
     for 1993 is unavailable or substantially inaccurate, the

     amount allocated under this chapter to a unit of general 
     local government for a payment period by the later of 90 days 
     after the date the amount is available or the first day of

     to be repaid is not repaid, the Secretary shall reduce 
     payments in future payment periods accordingly.
       ``(3) Deposit of amounts repaid.--Amounts received by the 
     Secretary as repayments under this subsection shall be 
     deposited in the Local Government Fiscal Assistance Fund for 
     future payments to units of general local government.

     unit determines that the paragraph does not apply through a 
     process that provides for public participation.

       ``(1) In general.--Funds made available under this chapter 
     to units of local government shall not be used to supplant

     of funds that would, in the absence of funds under this 
     chapter, be made available from State or local sources.
       ``(2) Base level amount.--The total level of funding 
     available to a unit of local government for accounts serving 
     eligible purposes under this chapter in the fiscal year 
     immediately preceding receipt of a grant under this chapter 
     shall be designated the `base level account' for the fiscal

     consider only whether a payment under this chapter was used 
     to pay for any part of the program or activity. The holding 
     of discrimination is conclusive. If the holding is reversed 
     by an appellate court, the Secretary or judge shall end the 
     proceeding.

     Attorney's delegee) and the victim. Should the victim object 
     to any of the information included in the affidavit, the 
     United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's 
     delegee) shall advise the victim that the victim may file a 
     separate affidavit and shall provide the victim with an 
     affidavit form which may be used to do so.

     of the affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, 
     the amounts attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to 
     paragraph (1) shall be entered in the court's restitution 
     order. If objection is raised, the court may require the 
     victim or the United States Attorney (or the United States 
     Attorney's delegee) to submit further affidavits or other 
     supporting documents, demonstrating the victim's losses.
       ``(3) Additional documentation and testimony.--If the court 
     concludes, after reviewing the supporting documentation and 
     considering the defendant's objections, that there is a 
     substantial reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity 
     of the records submitted, the court may require additional 
     documentation or hear testimony on those questions. The 
     privacy of any records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to 
     this section shall be maintained to the greatest extent 
     possible, and such records may be filed or testimony heard in

     shall so inform the court, and the court shall set a date for 
     the final determination of the victim's losses, not to exceed 
     90 days after sentencing. If the victim subsequently 
     discovers further losses, the victim shall have 60 days after 
     discovery of those losses in which to petition the court for 
     an amended restitution order. Such order may be granted only 
     upon a showing of good cause for the failure to include such 
     losses in the initial claim for restitutionary relief.
       ``(d) Modification of Order.--A victim or the offender may 
     petition the court at any time to modify a restitution order 
     as appropriate in view of a change in the economic 
     circumstances of the offender.
       ``(e) Reference to Magistrate or Special Master.--The court 
     may refer any issue arising in connection with a proposed 
     order of restitution to a magistrate or special master for 
     proposed findings of fact and recommendations as to 
     disposition, subject to a de novo determination of the issue 
     by the court.

     order by all available and reasonable means.
       ``(2) Enforcement by victim.--An order of restitution may

     action.

     order under this section is mandatory.

       ``(ii) the fact that a victim has, or is entitled to, 
     receive compensation for his or her injuries from the 
     proceeds of insurance or any other source.
       ``(C)(i) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the court may

       ``(ii) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term 
     `economic circumstances' includes--

     restitution order in the foreseeable future (under any 
     reasonable schedule of payments); and
       ``(ii) the court enters in its order the amount of the 
     victim's losses, and provides a nominal restitution award.
       ``(5) More than 1 offender.--When the court finds that more 
     than 1 offender has contributed to the loss of a victim, the 
     court may make each offender liable for payment of the full 
     amount of restitution or may apportion liability among the 
     offenders to reflect the level of contribution and economic 
     circumstances of each offender.
       ``(6) More than 1 victim.--When the court finds that more 
     than 1 victim has sustained a loss requiring restitution by 
     an offender, the court shall order full restitution of each 
     victim but may provide for different payment schedules to 
     reflect the economic circumstances of each victim.

     direct the defendant to make a single lump-sum payment or 
     partial payments at specified intervals.

       ``(B) any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided by 
     the law of the State.
       ``(9) Effect on other sources of compensation.--The 
     issuance of a restitution order shall not affect the 
     entitlement of a victim to receive compensation with respect 
     to a loss from insurance or any other source until the 
     payments actually received by the victim under the 
     restitution order fully compensate the victim for the loss.
       ``(10) Condition of probation or supervised release.--
     Compliance with a restitution order issued under this section 
     shall be a condition of any probation or supervised release 
     of a defendant. If an offender fails to comply with a 
     restitution order, the court may, after a hearing, revoke 
     probation or a term of supervised release, modify the terms 
     or conditions of probation or a term of supervised release, 
     or hold the defendant in contempt pursuant to section 
     3583(e). In determining whether to revoke probation or a term 
     of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions of 
     probation or supervised release or hold a defendant serving a 
     term of supervised release in contempt, the court shall 
     consider the defendant's employment status, earning ability 
     and financial resources, the willfulness of the defendant's 
     failure to comply, and any other circumstances that may have 
     a bearing on the defendant's ability to comply.

     showing crime rates in or adjacent to public transportation 
     before, and for a 1-year period after, the capital 
     improvement. Statistics shall be compiled on the basis of the 
     type of crime, sex, race, ethnicity, language, and 
     relationship of victim to the offender.
       (d) Increased Federal Share.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, the Federal share under this section for 
     each capital improvement project that enhances the safety and 
     security of public transportation systems and that is not 
     required by law (including any other provision of this Act) 
     shall be 90 percent of the net project cost of the project.
       (e) Special Grants for Projects To Study Increasing 
     Security for Women.--From the sums authorized under this 
     section, the Secretary shall provide grants and loans for the 
     purpose of studying ways to reduce violent crimes against 
     women in public transit through better design or operation of 
     public transit systems.

     under this section shall be subject to the same terms,

     constitutional rights of the defendant.
       ``(2) In a civil case, evidence offered to prove the sexual 
     behavior or sexual predisposition of any alleged victim is 
     admissible if it is otherwise admissible under these rules 
     and its probative value substantially outweighs the danger of 
     harm to any victim and of unfair prejudice to any party. 
     Evidence of an alleged victim's reputation is admissible only 
     if it has been placed in controversy by the alleged victim.

       ``(f) Terms.--The Secretary shall make allotments to each 
     State on the basis of the population of the State, and 
     subject to the conditions provided in this section and

     SEC. 40152. TRAINING PROGRAMS.

       (a) In General.--The Attorney General, after consultation 
     with victim advocates and individuals who have expertise in 
     treating sex offenders, shall establish criteria and develop 
     training programs to assist probation and parole officers and 
     other personnel who work with released sex offenders in the 
     areas of--
       (1) case management;
       (2) supervision; and
       (3) relapse prevention.
       (b) Training Programs.--The Attorney General shall ensure, 
     to the extent practicable, that training programs developed 
     under subsection (a) are available in geographically diverse 
     locations throughout the country.
       (c) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized 
     to be appropriated to carry out this section--
       (1) $1,000,000 for fiscal year 1996; and
       (2) $1,000,000 for fiscal year 1997.

     SEC. 40153. CONFIDENTIALITY OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN SEXUAL 
                   ASSAULT OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS AND THEIR 
                   COUNSELORS.

       (a) Study and Development of Model Legislation.--The 
     Attorney General shall--
       (1) study and evaluate the manner in which the States have 
     taken measures to protect the confidentiality of 
     communications between sexual assault or domestic violence 
     victims and their therapists or trained counselors;
       (2) develop model legislation that will provide the maximum 
     protection possible for the confidentiality of such 
     communications, within any applicable constitutional limits, 
     taking into account the following factors:
       (A) the danger that counseling programs for victims of 
     sexual assault and domestic violence will be unable to 
     achieve their goal of helping victims recover from the trauma 
     associated with these crimes if there is no assurance that 
     the records of the counseling sessions will be kept 
     confidential;
       (B) consideration of the appropriateness of an absolute 
     privilege for communications between victims of sexual 
     assault or domestic violence and their therapists or trained 
     counselors, in light of the likelihood that such an absolute 
     privilege will provide the maximum guarantee of 
     confidentiality but also in light of the possibility that 
     such an absolute privilege may be held to violate the rights 
     of criminal defendants under the Federal or State 
     constitutions by denying them the opportunity to obtain 
     exculpatory evidence and present it at trial; and
       (C) consideration of what limitations on the disclosure of 
     confidential communications between victims of these crimes 
     and their counselors, short of an absolute privilege, are 
     most likely to ensure that the counseling programs will not 
     be undermined, and specifically whether no such disclosure 
     should be allowed unless, at a minimum, there has been a 
     particularized showing by a criminal defendant of a 
     compelling need for records of such communications, and 
     adequate procedural safeguards are in place to prevent 
     unnecessary or damaging disclosures; and
       (3) prepare and disseminate to State authorities the 
     findings made and model legislation developed as a result of 
     the study and evaluation.
       (b) Report and Recommendations.--Not later than the date 
     that is 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
     Attorney General shall report to the Congress--
       (1) the findings of the study and the model legislation 
     required by this section; and
       (2) recommendations based on the findings on the need for 
     and appropriateness of further action by the Federal 
     Government.
       (c) Review of Federal Evidentiary Rules.--The Judicial 
     Conference of the United States shall evaluate and report to 
     Congress its views on whether the Federal Rules of Evidence 
     should be amended, and if so, how they should be amended, to 
     guarantee that the confidentiality of communications between

     direct the defendant to make a single lump-sum payment or 
     partial payments at specified intervals.

     payments actually received by the victim under the 
     restitution order fully compensate the victim for the loss.

     comply with a restitution order, the court may, after a 
     hearing, revoke probation or a term of supervised release, 
     modify the terms or conditions of probation or a term of 
     supervised release, or hold the defendant in contempt 
     pursuant to section 3583(e). In determining whether to revoke 
     probation or a term of supervised release, modify the terms 
     or conditions of probation or supervised release or hold a 
     defendant serving a term of supervised release in contempt, 
     the court shall consider the defendant's employment status, 
     earning ability and financial resources, the willfulness of 
     the defendant's failure to comply, and any other 
     circumstances that may have a bearing on the defendant's 
     ability to comply.
       ``(c) Affidavit.--Within 60 days after conviction and, in 
     any event, not later than 10 days before sentencing, the 
     United States Attorney (or such Attorney's delegate), after 
     consulting with the victim, shall prepare and file an 
     affidavit with the court listing the amounts subject to 
     restitution under this section. The affidavit shall be signed 
     by the United States Attorney (or the delegate) and the 
     victim. Should the victim object to any of the information 
     included in the affidavit, the United States Attorney (or the 
     delegate) shall advise the victim that the victim may file a 
     separate affidavit and assist the victim in the preparation 
     of the affidavit.
       ``(d) Objection.--If, after the defendant has been notified 
     of the affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, 
     the amounts attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to 
     subsection (a) shall be entered in the court's restitution 
     order. If objection is raised, the court may require the 
     victim or the United States Attorney (or the United States 
     Attorney's delegate) to submit further affidavits or other 
     supporting documents, demonstrating the victim's losses.
       ``(e) Additional Documentation and Testimony.--If the court 
     concludes, after reviewing the supporting documentation and 
     considering the defendant's objections, that there is a 
     substantial reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity 
     of the records submitted, the court may require additional 
     documentation or hear testimony on those questions. The 
     privacy of any records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to 
     this section, shall be maintained to the greatest extent 
     possible, and such records may be filed or testimony heard in 
     camera.
       ``(f) Final Determination of Losses.--If the victim's 
     losses are not ascertainable 10 days before sentencing as 
     provided in subsection (c), the United States Attorney (or 
     the United States Attorney's delegate) shall so inform the 
     court, and the court shall set a date for the final 
     determination of the victim's losses, not to exceed 90 days 
     after sentencing. If the victim subsequently discovers 
     further losses, the victim shall have 90 days after discovery 
     of those losses in which to petition the court for an amended 
     restitution order. Such order may be granted only upon a 
     showing of good cause for the failure to include such losses 
     in the initial claim for restitutionary relief.
       ``(g) Restitution in Addition to Punishment.--An award of 
     restitution to the victim of an offense under this chapter is 
     not a substitute for imposition of punishment under this 
     chapter.

     offense, after notice to the defendant and an opportunity to 
     be heard, requiring that the defendant be tested for the 
     presence of the etiologic agent for acquired immune 
     deficiency syndrome, and that the results of the test be

     deficiency syndrome is requested by the victim after 
     appropriate counseling; and
       (C) the test would provide information necessary for the

     a risk of transmission, as determined by the Centers for 
     Disease Control, of the etiologic agent for acquired immune 
     deficiency syndrome to the victim.
       (3) Follow-up testing.--The court may order follow-up tests 
     and counseling under paragraph (b)(1) if the initial test was

     six months and twelve months following the initial test.
       (4) Termination of testing requirements.--An order for 
     follow-up testing under paragraph (3) shall be terminated if

     ordered under this subsection shall be disclosed only to the 
     victim or, where the court deems appropriate, to the parent 
     or legal guardian of the victim, and to the person tested. 
     The victim may disclose the test results only to any medical 
     professional, counselor, family member or sexual partner(s) 
     the victim may have had since the attack. Any such individual 
     to whom the test results are disclosed by the victim shall 
     maintain the confidentiality of such information.
       (6) Disclosure of test results.--The court shall issue an 
     order to prohibit the disclosure by the victim of the results 
     of any test performed under this subsection to anyone other 
     than those mentioned in paragraph (5). The contents of the 
     court proceedings and test results pursuant to this section 
     shall be sealed. The results of such test performed on the 
     defendant under this section shall not be used as evidence in 
     any criminal trial.
       (7) Contempt for disclosure.--Any person who discloses the 
     results of a test in violation of this subsection may be held 
     in contempt of court.

     sentence of death is to be imposed on a defendant, the finder 
     of fact shall consider any mitigating factor, including the 
     following:
       ``(1) Impaired capacity.--The defendant's capacity to 
     appreciate the wrongfulness of the defendant's conduct or to 
     conform conduct to the requirements of law was significantly 
     impaired, regardless of whether the capacity was so impaired 
     as to constitute a defense to the charge.
       ``(2) Duress.--The defendant was under unusual and 
     substantial duress, regardless of whether the duress was of 
     such a degree as to constitute a defense to the charge.
       ``(3) Minor participation.--The defendant is punishable as 
     a principal in the offense, which was committed by another, 
     but the defendant's participation was relatively minor, 
     regardless of whether the participation was so minor as to 
     constitute a defense to the charge.
       ``(4) Equally culpable defendants.--Another defendant or 
     defendants, equally culpable in the crime, will not be 
     punished by death.
       ``(5) No prior criminal record.--The defendant did not have 
     a significant prior history of other criminal conduct.
       ``(6) Disturbance.--The defendant committed the offense 
     under severe mental or emotional disturbance.
       ``(7) Victim's consent.--The victim consented to the 
     criminal conduct that resulted in the victim's death.
       ``(8) Other factors.--Other factors in the defendant's 
     background, record, or character or any other circumstance of 
     the offense that mitigate against imposition of the death 
     sentence.
       ``(b) Aggravating Factors for Espionage and Treason.--In 
     determining whether a sentence of death is justified for an 
     offense described in section 3591(a)(1), the jury, or if 
     there is no jury, the court, shall consider each of the 
     following aggravating factors for which notice has been given 
     and determine which, if any, exist:
       ``(1) Prior espionage or treason offense.--The defendant 
     has previously been convicted of another offense involving 
     espionage or treason for which a sentence of either life 
     imprisonment or death was authorized by law.
       ``(2) Grave risk to national security.--In the commission 
     of the offense the defendant knowingly created a grave risk 
     of substantial danger to the national security.
       ``(3) Grave risk of death.--In the commission of the 
     offense the defendant knowingly created a grave risk of death 
     to another person.

     The jury, or if there is no jury, the court, may consider 
     whether any other aggravating factor for which notice has 
     been given exists.
       ``(c) Aggravating Factors for Homicide.--In determining 
     whether a sentence of death is justified for an offense 
     described in section 3591(a)(2), the jury, or if there is no 
     jury, the court, shall consider each of the following

       ``(A) the President of the United States, the President-
     elect, the Vice President, the Vice President-elect, the Vice 
     President-designate, or, if there is no Vice President, the 
     officer next in order of succession to the office of the 
     President of the United States, or any person who is acting

     The jury, or if there is no jury, the court, may consider

     been given exists.
       ``(d) Aggravating Factors for Drug Offense Death Penalty.--
     In determining whether a sentence of death is justified for 
     an offense described in section 3591(b), the jury, or if 
     there is no jury, the court, shall consider each of the 
     following aggravating factors for which notice has been given 
     and determine which, if any, exist:
       ``(1) Previous conviction of offense for which a sentence 
     of death or life imprisonment was authorized.--The defendant 
     has previously been convicted of another Federal or State 
     offense resulting in the death of a person, for which a 
     sentence of life imprisonment or death was authorized by 
     statute.
       ``(2) Previous conviction of other serious offenses.--The 
     defendant has previously been convicted of two or more 
     Federal or State offenses, each punishable by a term of 
     imprisonment of more than one year, committed on different 
     occasions, involving the importation, manufacture, or 
     distribution of a controlled substance (as defined in section 
     102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)) or the 
     infliction of, or attempted infliction of, serious bodily 
     injury or death upon another person.
       ``(3) Previous serious drug felony conviction.--The 
     defendant has previously been convicted of another Federal or 
     State offense involving the manufacture, distribution, 
     importation, or possession of a controlled substance (as 
     defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 
     U.S.C. 802)) for which a sentence of five or more years of 
     imprisonment was authorized by statute.
       ``(4) Use of firearm.--In committing the offense, or in 
     furtherance of a continuing criminal enterprise of which the 
     offense was a part, the defendant used a firearm or knowingly 
     directed, advised, authorized, or assisted another to use a 
     firearm to threaten, intimidate, assault, or injure a person.
       ``(5) Distribution to persons under 21.--The offense, or a 
     continuing criminal enterprise of which the offense was a 
     part, involved conduct proscribed by section 418 of the 
     Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 859) which was committed 
     directly by the defendant.
       ``(6) Distribution near schools.--The offense, or a

     directly by the defendant.
       ``(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.

     The jury, or if there is no jury, the court, may consider 
     whether any other aggravating factor for which notice has 
     been given exists.

     ``Sec. 3593. Special hearing to determine whether a sentence 
       of death is justified

       ``(a) Notice by the Government.--If, in a case involving an 
     offense described in section 3591, the attorney for the 
     government believes that the circumstances of the offense are 
     such that a sentence of death is justified under this 
     chapter, the attorney shall, a reasonable time before the 
     trial or before acceptance by the court of a plea of guilty, 
     sign and file with the court, and serve on the defendant, a 
     notice--
       ``(1) stating that the government believes that the 
     circumstances of the offense are such that, if the defendant 
     is convicted, a sentence of death is justified under this 
     chapter and that the government will seek the sentence of 
     death; and
       ``(2) setting forth the aggravating factor or factors that 
     the government, if the defendant is convicted, proposes to 
     prove as justifying a sentence of death.

     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, and may 
     include oral testimony, a victim impact statement that 
     identifies the victim of the offense and the extent and scope 
     of the injury and loss suffered by the victim and the 
     victim's family, and any other relevant information. 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.--If the attorney for 
     the government has filed a notice as required under 
     subsection (a) and the defendant is found guilty of or pleads 
     guilty to 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. 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 this section 
     is necessary; or
       ``(3) before the court alone, upon the motion of the 
     defendant and with the approval of the attorney for the 
     government.

     A jury impaneled pursuant to paragraph (2) shall consist of 
     12 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.--
     Notwithstanding rule 32(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal 
     Procedure, when a defendant is found guilty or pleads guilty 
     to an offense under section 3591, no presentence report shall 
     be prepared. At the sentencing hearing, information may be 
     presented as to any matter relevant to the sentence, 
     including any mitigating or aggravating factor permitted or 
     required to be considered under section 3592. Information 
     pre- 

[[Page 1811]]

     sented may include the trial transcript and exhibits if the 
     hearing is held before a jury or judge not present during the 
     trial, or at the trial judge's discretion. The defendant may 
     present any information relevant to a mitigating factor. The 
     government may present any information relevant to an 
     aggravating factor for which notice has been provided under 
     subsection (a). 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 government and 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 the case of imposing a sentence of death. 
     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 any 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 
     information.
       ``(d) Return of Special Findings.--The jury, or if there is 
     no jury, the court, shall consider all the information 
     received during the hearing. It shall return special findings 
     identifying any aggravating factor or factors set forth in 
     section 3592 found to exist and any other aggravating factor 
     for which notice has been provided under subsection (a) found 
     to exist. A finding with respect to a mitigating factor may 
     be made by 1 or more members of the jury, and any member of 
     the jury who finds the existence of a mitigating factor may 
     consider such factor established for purposes of this section 
     regardless of the number of jurors who concur that the factor 
     has been established. A finding with respect to any 
     aggravating factor must be unanimous. If no aggravating 
     factor set forth in section 3592 is found to exist, the court 
     shall impose a sentence other than death authorized by law.
       ``(e) Return of a Finding Concerning a Sentence of Death.--
     If, in the case of--
       ``(1) an offense described in section 3591(a)(1), an 
     aggravating factor required to be considered under section 
     3592(b) is found to exist;
       ``(2) an offense described in section 3591(a)(2), an 
     aggravating factor required to be considered under section 
     3592(c) is found to exist; or
       ``(3) an offense described in section 3591(b), an 
     aggravating factor required to be considered under section 
     3592(d) is found to exist,

     the jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall consider 
     whether all the aggravating factor or factors found to exist 
     sufficiently outweigh all the mitigating factor or factors 
     found to exist to justify a sentence of death, or, in the 
     absence of a mitigating factor, whether the aggravating 
     factor or factors alone are sufficient to justify a sentence 
     of death. Based upon this consideration, the jury by 
     unanimous vote, or if there is no jury, the court, shall 
     recommend whether the defendant should be sentenced to death, 
     to life imprisonment without possibility of release or some 
     other lesser sentence.
       ``(f) Special Precaution To Ensure 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 a sentence of 
     death is justified, it shall not consider the race, color, 
     religious beliefs, 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 no 
     matter what the race, color, religious beliefs, national 
     origin, or sex of the defendant or of any victim may be. The 
     jury, upon return of a finding under subsection (e), shall 
     also return to the court a certificate, signed by each juror, 
     that consideration of the race, color, religious beliefs, 
     national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim was 
     not involved in reaching his or her individual decision and 
     that the individual juror would have made the same 
     recommendation regarding a sentence for the crime in question 
     no matter what the race, color, religious beliefs, national 
     origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim may be.

     ``Sec. 3594. Imposition of a sentence of death

       ``Upon a recommendation under section 3593(e) that the 
     defendant should be sentenced to death or life imprisonment 
     without possibility of release, the court shall sentence the 
     defendant accordingly. Otherwise, the court shall impose any 
     lesser sentence that is authorized by law. Notwithstanding 
     any other law, if the maximum term of imprisonment for the 
     offense is life imprisonment, the court may impose a sentence 
     of life imprisonment without 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 
     must be filed within the time specified for the filing of a 
     notice of appeal. An appeal under this section may be 
     consolidated with an appeal of the judgment of conviction and 
     shall have priority over all other cases.
       ``(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) The court of appeals shall address all substantive 
     and procedural issues raised on the appeal of a sentence of 
     death, and shall consider whether the sentence of death was 
     imposed under the influence of passion, prejudice, or any 
     other arbitrary factor and whether the evidence supports the 
     special finding of the existence of an aggravating factor 
     required to be considered under section 3592.
       ``(2) Whenever the court of appeals finds that--
       ``(A) the sentence of death was imposed under the influence 
     of passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary factor;
       ``(B) the admissible evidence and information adduced does 
     not support the special finding of the existence of the 
     required aggravating factor; or
       ``(C) the proceedings involved any other legal error 
     requiring reversal of the sentence that was properly 
     preserved for appeal under the rules of criminal procedure,

     the court shall remand the case for reconsideration under 
     section 3593 or imposition of a sentence other than death. 
     The court of appeals shall not reverse or vacate a sentence 
     of death on account of any error which can be harmless, 
     including any erroneous special finding of an aggravating 
     factor, where the Government establishes beyond a reasonable 
     doubt that the error was harmless.
       ``(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 who has been sentenced to death 
     pursuant to 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 for 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, who shall 
     supervise implementation of the sentence in the manner 
     prescribed by the law of the State in which the sentence is 
     imposed. If the law of the State does not provide for 
     implementation of a sentence of death, the court shall 
     designate another State, the law of which does provide for 
     the implementation of a sentence of death, and the sentence 
     shall be implemented in the latter State in the manner 
     prescribed by such law.
       ``(b) Pregnant Woman.--A sentence of death shall not be 
     carried out upon a woman while she is pregnant.
       ``(c) Mental Capacity.--A sentence of death shall not be 
     carried out upon a person who is mentally retarded. A 
     sentence of death shall not be carried out upon a person who, 
     as a result of mental disability, lacks the mental capacity 
     to understand the death penalty and why it was imposed on 
     that person.

     ``Sec. 3597. Use of State facilities

       ``(a) In General.--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.
       ``(b) Excuse of an Employee on Moral or Religious 
     Grounds.--No employee of any State department of corrections, 
     the United States Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau 
     of Prisons, or the United States Marshals Service, and no 
     employee 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 prosecution or 
     execution under this section if such participation is 
     contrary to the moral or religious convictions of the 
     employee. In this subsection, `participation in executions' 
     includes personal preparation of the condemned individual and 
     the apparatus used for execution and supervision of the 
     activities of other personnel in carrying out such 
     activities.

       ``Notwithstanding sections 1152 and 1153, no person subject

     health and safety.

     not limit declarations made under this section to highly 
     populated centers of violent crime or drug trafficking, drug

     crime or drug emergency assistance under this section, the

     request submitted pursuant to this section, and the President 
     shall decide whether to declare a violent crime or drug 
     emergency area, within 30 days after receiving the request.
       (g)  Federal Assistance.--The President may--
       (1) direct any Federal agency, with or without 
     reimbursement, to utilize its authorities and the resources 
     granted to it under Federal law (including personnel, 
     equipment, supplies, facilities, financial assistance, and 
     managerial, technical, and advisory services) in support of 
     State and local assistance efforts; and
       (2) provide technical and advisory assistance, including

     SEC. 110103. BAN OF LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION FEEDING 
                   DEVICES.

       (a) Prohibition.--Section 922 of title 18, United States 
     Code, as amended by section 110102(a), is amended by adding 
     at the end the following new subsection:
       ``(w)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), it shall be 
     unlawful for a person to transfer or possess a large capacity 
     ammunition feeding device.
       ``(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession or 
     transfer of any large capacity ammunition feeding device 
     otherwise lawfully possessed on or before the date of the 
     enactment of this subsection.
       ``(3) This subsection shall not apply to--
       ``(A) the manufacture for, transfer to, or possession by 
     the United States or a department or agency of the United 
     States or a State or a department, agency, or political 
     subdivision of a State, or a transfer to or possession by a 
     law enforcement officer employed by such an entity for 
     purposes of law enforcement (whether on or off duty);
       ``(B) the transfer to a licensee under title I of the 
     Atomic Energy Act of 1954 for purposes of establishing and 
     maintaining an on-site physical protection system and 
     security organization required by Federal law, or possession 
     by an employee or contractor of such licensee on-site for 
     such purposes or off-site for purposes of licensee-authorized 
     training or transportation of nuclear materials;
       ``(C) the possession, by an individual who is retired from 
     service with a law enforcement agency and is not otherwise 
     prohibited from receiving ammunition, of a large capacity 
     ammunition feeding device transferred to the individual by 
     the agency upon such retirement; or
       ``(D) the manufacture, transfer, or possession of any large 
     capacity ammunition feeding device by a licensed manufacturer 
     or licensed importer for the purposes of testing or 
     experimentation authorized by the Secretary.
       ``(4) If a person charged with violating paragraph (1) 
     asserts that paragraph (1) does not apply to such person 
     because of paragraph (2) or (3), the Government shall have 
     the burden of proof to show that such paragraph (1) applies 
     to such person. The lack of a serial number as described in 
     section 923(i) of title 18, United States Code, shall be a 
     presumption that the large capacity ammunition feeding device 
     is not subject to the prohibition of possession in paragraph 
     (1).''.
       (b) Definition of Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding 
     Device.--Section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code, as 
     amended by section 110102(b), is amended by adding at the end 
     the following new paragraph:
       ``(31) The term `large capacity ammunition feeding 
     device'--
       ``(A) means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar 
     device manufactured after the date of enactment of the 
     Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 that 
     has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or 
     converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition; but
       ``(B) does not include an attached tubular device designed 
     to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber 
     rimfire ammunition.''.
       (c) Penalty.--Section 924(a)(1)(B) of title 18, United 
     States Code, as amended by section 110102(c)(1), is amended 
     by striking ``or (v)'' and inserting ``(v), or (w)''.
       (d) Identification Markings for Large Capacity Ammunition 
     Feeding Devices.--Section 923(i) of title 18, United States 
     Code, as amended by section 110102(d) of this Act, is amended 
     by adding at the end the following: ``A large capacity 
     ammunition feeding device manufactured after the date of the 
     enactment of this sentence shall be identified by a serial 
     number that clearly shows that the device was manufactured or 
     imported after the effective date of this subsection, and 
     such other identification as the Secretary may by regulation 
     prescribe.''.

     SEC. 110104. STUDY BY ATTORNEY GENERAL.

     the end the following new item:

``1547. Alternative imprisonment maximum for certain offenses.''.

     SEC. 130010. ASYLUM.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) in the last decade applications for asylum have greatly 
     exceeded the original 5,000 annual limit provided in the 
     Refugee Act of 1980, with more than 150,000 asylum 
     applications filed in fiscal year 1993, and the backlog of 
     cases growing to 340,000;
       (2) this flood of asylum claims has swamped the system, 
     creating delays in the processing of applications of up to 
     several years;
       (3) the delay in processing asylum claims due to the 
     overwhelming numbers has contributed to numerous problems, 
     including--
       (A) an abuse of the asylum laws by fraudulent applicants 
     whose primary interest is obtaining work authority in the 
     United States while their claim languishes in the backlogged 
     asylum processing system;
       (B) the growth of alien smuggling operations, often 
     involving organized crime;
       (C) a drain on limited resources resulting from the high 
     cost of processing frivolous asylum claims through our 
     multilayered system; and
       (D) an erosion of public support for asylum, which is a 
     treaty obligation.
       (4) asylum, a safe haven protection for aliens abroad who 
     cannot return home, has been perverted by some aliens who use 
     asylum claims to circumvent our immigration and refugee laws 
     and procedures; and
       (5) a comprehensive revision of our asylum law and 
     procedures is required to address these problems.
       (b) Policy.--It is the sense of the Senate that--

[[Page 1830]]

       (1) asylum is a process intended to protect aliens in the 
     United States who cannot safely return home;
       (2) persons outside their country of nationality who have a 
     well-founded fear of persecution if they return should apply 
     for refugee status at one of our refugee processing offices 
     abroad; and
       (3) the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the United 
     States should be reformed to provide--
       (A) a procedure for the expeditious exclusion of any asylum 
     applicant who arrives at a port-of-entry with fraudulent 
     documents, or no documents, and makes a noncredible claim of 
     asylum; and
       (B) the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the United 
     States should be reformed to provide for a streamlined 
     affirmative asylum processing system for asylum applicants 
     who make their application after they have entered the United 
     States.

     years of age or older who has been convicted of an offense 
     shall receive an appropriate sentence enhancement if the 
     defendant involved a minor in the commission of the offense.
       (2) The Commission shall provide that the guideline 
     enhancement promulgated pursuant to paragraph (1) shall apply 
     for any offense in relation to which the defendant has 
     solicited, procured, recruited, counseled, encouraged, 
     trained, directed, commanded, intimidated, or otherwise used 
     or attempted to use any person less than 18 years of age with

     in subsection (a), the Sentencing Commission shall consider--

     the minor to commit;
       (2) the number of minors that the defendant used or 
     attempted to use in relation to the offense;
       (3) the fact that involving a minor in a crime of violence 
     is frequently of even greater seriousness than involving a 
     minor in a drug trafficking offense, for which the guidelines 
     already provide a two-level enhancement; and
       (4) the possible relevance of the proximity in age between 
     the offender and the minor(s) involved in the offense.

     SEC. 160003. CONFIRMATION OF INTENT OF CONGRESS IN ENACTING 
                   SECTIONS 2252 AND 2256 OF TITLE 18, UNITED 
                   STATES CODE.

       (a) Declaration.--The Congress declares that in enacting 
     sections 2252 and 2256 of title 18, United States Code, it 
     was and is the intent of Congress that--
       (1) the scope of ``exhibition of the genitals or pubic 
     area'' in section 2256(2)(E), in the definition of ``sexually 
     explicit conduct'', is not limited to nude exhibitions or 
     exhibitions in which the outlines of those areas were 
     discernible through clothing; and
       (2) the requirements in section 2252(a) (1)(A), (2)(A), 
     (3)(B)(i), and (4)(B)(i) that the production of a visual 
     depiction involve the use of a minor engaging in ``sexually 
     explicit conduct'' of the kind described in section 
     2256(2)(E) are satisfied if a person photographs a minor in 
     such a way as to exhibit the child in a lascivious manner.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that in filing its brief in United States v. Knox, No. 92-
     1183, and thereby depriving the United States Supreme Court 
     of the adverseness necessary for full and fair presentation 
     of the issues arising in the case, the Department of Justice 
     did not accurately reflect the intent of Congress in arguing 
     that ``the videotapes in [the Knox case] constitute 
     `lascivious exhibition[s] of the genitals or pubic area' only 
     if those body parts are visible in the tapes and the minors 
     posed or acted lasciviously.''.

     treatment of sexual offenders.
       (3) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:

       (II) chooses to include such an offense in those which are 
     criminal offenses against a victim who is a minor for the 
     purposes of this section.

     For purposes of this subparagraph conduct which is criminal 
     only because of the age of the victim shall not be considered 
     a criminal offense if the perpetrator is 18 years of age or 
     younger.

     criminal offense that consists of aggravated sexual abuse or

     acquired condition of a person that affects the emotional or 
     volitional capacity of the person in a manner that 
     predisposes that person to the commission of criminal sexual 
     acts to a degree that makes the person a menace to the health 
     and safety of other persons.
       (E) The term ``predatory'' means an act directed at a 
     stranger, or a person with whom a relationship has been 
     established or promoted for the primary purpose of 
     victimization.

     later than 10 days after establishing residence in the new 
     State, if the new State has a registration requirement;
       (iv) obtain fingerprints and a photograph of the person if 
     these have not already been obtained in connection with the 
     offense that triggers registration; and
       (v) require the person to read and sign a form stating that

     the designated State law enforcement agency within 10 days 
     after receipt of the form, the person shall be in violation 
     of this section unless the person proves that the person has 
     not changed the residence address.

     determination, made in accordance with paragraph (2) of 
     subsection (a), that the person no longer suffers from a

     subtitle.
       (2) The Director may enter into contracts with individuals, 
     institutions of learning, and government agencies (including

     following completion of a participant's course of education 
     each participant shall receive appropriate additional 
     training by the State or local authority to which the 
     participant is assigned. The time spent by a participant in

     Corps training, shall be counted toward fulfillment of the 
     participant's 4-year service obligation.
       (d) Course of Training.--The training sessions at training 
     centers established under this section shall be designed to

     may, upon a showing of good cause, permit the participant to 
     complete the service obligation in an equivalent alternative 
     law enforcement service and, if such service is 
     satisfactorily completed, section 200106(d)(1)(B)(iii) shall

     is a member lays off the participant such as would preclude 
     the participant's completing 4 years of service, and result 
     in denial of educational assistance under section 200106, the 
     Director may permit the participant to complete the service 
     obligation in an equivalent alternative law enforcement 
     service and, if such service is satisfactorily completed, 
     section 200106(d)(1)(B)(iii) shall not apply.

     crime laboratory officials.
       (B) The advisory board shall include as members scientists 
     from State, local, and private forensic laboratories, 
     molecular geneticists and population geneticists not 
     affiliated with a forensic laboratory, and a representative 
     from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
       (C) The advisory board shall develop, and if appropriate, 
     periodically revise, recommended standards for quality 
     assurance, including standards for testing the proficiency of 
     forensic laboratories, and forensic analysts, in conducting 
     analyses of DNA.
       (2) The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
     after taking into consideration such recommended standards, 
     shall issue (and revise from time to time) standards for 
     quality assurance, including standards for testing the 
     proficiency of forensic laboratories, and forensic analysts, 
     in conducting analyses of DNA.

     specify criteria for quality assurance and proficiency tests 
     to be applied to the various types of DNA analyses used by 
     forensic laboratories. The standards shall also include a 
     system for grading proficiency testing performance to 
     determine whether a laboratory is performing acceptably.
       (4) Until such time as the advisory board has made 
     recommendations to the Director of the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation and the Director has acted upon those 
     recommendations, the quality assurance guidelines adopted by 
     the technical working group on DNA analysis methods shall be 
     deemed the Director's standards for purposes of this section.
       (b) Administration of the Advisory Board.--(1) For 
     administrative purposes, the advisory board appointed under 
     subsection (a) shall be considered an advisory board to the 
     Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

     U.S.C. App.) shall not apply with respect to the advisory 
     board appointed under subsection (a).
       (3) The DNA advisory board established under this section 
     shall be separate and distinct from any other advisory board 
     administered by the FBI, and is to be administered 
     separately.
       (4) The board shall cease to exist on the date 5 years 
     after the initial appointments are made to the board, unless 
     the existence of the board is extended by the Director of the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation.
       (c) Proficiency Testing Program.--(1) Not later than 1 year 
     after the effective date of this Act, the Director of the 
     National Institute of Justice shall certify to the Committees 
     on the Judiciary of the House and Senate that--
       (A) the Institute has entered into a contract with, or made 
     a grant to, an appropriate entity for establishing, or has 
     taken other appropriate action to ensure that there is 
     established, not later than 2 years after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, a blind external proficiency testing 
     program for DNA analyses, which shall be available to public 
     and private laboratories performing forensic DNA analyses;
       (B) a blind external proficiency testing program for DNA 
     analyses is already readily available to public and private

       (2) As used in this subsection, the term ``blind external 
     proficiency test'' means a test that is presented to a 
     forensic laboratory through a second agency and appears to 
     the analysts to involve routine evidence.
       (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     Attorney General shall make available to the Director of the 
     National Institute of Justice during the first fiscal year in

       (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this section, the Attorney General shall 
     develop, in cooperation with the States, a national voluntary 
     motor vehicle theft prevention program (in this section 
     referred to as the ``program'') under which--
       (1) the owner of a motor vehicle may voluntarily sign a 
     consent form with a participating State or locality in which 
     the motor vehicle owner--
       (A) states that the vehicle is not normally operated under 
     certain specified conditions; and
       (B) agrees to--
       (i) display program decals or devices on the owner's 
     vehicle; and
       (ii) permit law enforcement officials in any State to stop 
     the motor vehicle and take reasonable steps to determine 
     whether the vehicle is being operated by or with the 
     permission of the owner, if the vehicle is being operated 
     under the specified conditions; and
       (2) participating States and localities authorize law 
     enforcement officials in the State or locality to stop motor 
     vehicles displaying program decals or devices under specified 
     conditions and take reasonable steps to determine whether the 
     vehicle is being operated by or with the permission of the 
     owner.
       (b) Uniform Decal or Device Designs.--
       (1) In general.--The motor vehicle theft prevention program 
     developed pursuant to this section shall include a uniform 
     design or designs for decals or other devices to be displayed 
     by motor vehicles participating in the program.
       (2) Type of design.--The uniform design shall--
       (A) be highly visible; and
       (B) explicitly state that the motor vehicle to which it is 
     affixed may be stopped under the specified conditions without 
     additional grounds for establishing a reasonable suspicion 
     that the vehicle is being operated unlawfully.
       (c) Voluntary Consent Form.--The voluntary consent form 
     used to enroll in the program shall--
       (1) clearly state that participation in the program is 
     voluntary;
       (2) clearly explain that participation in the program means 
     that, if the participating vehicle is being operated under 
     the specified conditions, law enforcement officials may stop 
     the vehicle and take reasonable steps to determine whether it 
     is being operated by or with the consent of the owner, even 
     if the law enforcement officials have no other basis for 
     believing that the vehicle is being operated unlawfully;
       (3) include an express statement that the vehicle is not 
     normally operated under the specified conditions and that the 
     operation of the vehicle under those conditions would provide 
     sufficient grounds for a prudent law enforcement officer to 
     reasonably believe that the vehicle was not being operated by 
     or with the consent of the owner; and
       (4) include any additional information that the Attorney 
     General may reasonably require.
       (d) Specified Conditions Under Which Stops May Be 
     Authorized.--

     rules establishing the conditions under which participating 
     motor vehicles may be authorized to be stopped under this 
     section. These conditions may not be based on race, creed, 
     color, national origin, gender, or age. These conditions may 
     include--
       (A) the operation of the vehicle during certain hours of 
     the day; or
       (B) the operation of the vehicle under other circumstances 
     that would provide a

[[Page 1842]]

     sufficient basis for establishing a reasonable suspicion that 
     the vehicle was not being operated by the owner, or with the 
     consent of the owner.
       (2) More than one set of conditions.--The Attorney General 
     may establish more than one set of conditions under which 
     participating motor vehicles may be stopped. If more than one 
     set of conditions is established, a separate consent form and 
     a separate design for program decals or devices shall be 
     established for each set of conditions. The Attorney General 
     may choose to satisfy the requirement of a separate design 
     for program decals or devices under this paragraph by the use 
     of a design color that is clearly distinguishable from other 
     design colors.
       (3) No new conditions without consent.--After the program 
     has begun, the conditions under which a vehicle may be 
     stopped if affixed with a certain decal or device design may 
     not be expanded without the consent of the owner.
       (4) Limited participation by states and localities.--A

     vehicle, notify the person to whom the motor vehicle is 
     rented or leased about the program.
       (2) Type of notice.--The notice required by this subsection 
     shall--
       (A) be in writing;
       (B) be in a prominent format to be determined by the 
     Attorney General; and
       (C) explain the possibility that if the motor vehicle is 
     operated under the specified conditions, the vehicle may be 
     stopped by law enforcement officials even if the officials 
     have no other basis for believing that the vehicle is being 
     operated unlawfully.
       (3) Fine for failure to provide notice.--Failure to provide 
     proper notice under this subsection shall be punishable by a 
     fine not to exceed $5,000.
       (f) Notification of Police.--As a condition of 
     participating in the program, a State or locality must agree 
     to take reasonable steps to ensure that law enforcement

       (4) in subdivision (c)(3)(D), striking ``equivalent 
     opportunity'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``opportunity

                   SPEAK AT AN OFFENDER'S SENTENCING HEARING AND 
                   ANY PAROLE HEARING.

       (1) the law of a State should provide for a victim's right 
     of allocution at a sentencing hearing and at any parole 
     hearing if the offender has been convicted of a crime of 
     violence or sexual abuse;
       (2) such a victim should have an opportunity equivalent to 
     the opportunity accorded to the offender to address the 
     sentencing court or parole board and to present information 
     in relation to the sentence imposed or to the early release 
     of the offender; and
       (3) if the victim is not able to or chooses not to testify 
     at a sentencing hearing or parole hearing, the victim's 
     parents, legal guardian, or family members should have the 
     right to address the court or board.

     than 1 victim has sustained a loss requiring restitution by 
     an offender, the court shall order full restitution of each

     defendant. The court may revoke probation or a term of 
     supervised release, modify the terms or conditions of 
     probation or a term of supervised release, hold the defendant 
     in contempt pursuant to section 3583(e), or suspend the

     professional license, or commercial license provided by an 
     agency of the United States or with appropriated funds of the 
     United States if the defendant fails to comply with the 
     order. In determining whether to revoke probation or a term 
     of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions of 
     probation or supervised release or hold a defendant serving a 
     term of supervised release in contempt, the court shall 
     consider the defendant's employment status, earning ability 
     and financial resources, the willfulness of the defendant's 
     failure to comply, and any other circumstances that may have 
     a bearing on the defendant's ability to comply.
       ``(c) Proof of Claim.--
       ``(1) Affidavit.--Within 60 days after conviction and, in 
     any event, not later than 10 days prior to sentencing, the 
     United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's 
     delegee), after consulting with the victim, shall prepare and 
     file an affidavit with the court listing the amounts subject 
     to restitution under this section. The affidavit shall be 
     signed by the United States Attorney (or the United States 
     Attorney's delegee) and the victim. Should the victim object 
     to any of the information included in the affidavit, the 
     United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's 
     delegee) shall advise the victim that the victim may file a 
     separate affidavit and shall provide the victim with an 
     affidavit form which may be used to do so.
       ``(2) Objection.--If, after the defendant has been notified 
     of the affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, 
     the amounts attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to 
     paragraph (1) shall be entered in the court's restitution 
     order. If objection is raised, the court may require the 
     victim or the United States Attorney (or the United States 
     Attorney's delegee) to submit further affidavits or other 
     supporting documents, demonstrating the victim's losses.
       ``(3) Additional documentation and testimony.--If the court 
     concludes, after reviewing the supporting documentation and 
     considering the defendant's objections, that there is a 
     substantial reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity 
     of the records submitted, the court may require additional 
     documentation or hear testimony on those questions. The 
     privacy of any records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to 
     this section shall be maintained to the greatest extent 
     possible, and such records may be filed or testimony heard in 
     camera.
       ``(4) Final determination of losses.--If the victim's 
     losses are not ascertainable by the date that is 10 days 
     prior to sentencing as provided in paragraph (1), the United 
     States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee) 
     shall so inform the court, and the court shall set a date for 
     the final determination of the victim's losses, not to exceed 
     90 days after sentencing. If the victim subsequently 
     discovers further losses, the victim shall have 60 days after 
     discovery of those losses in which to petition the court for 
     an amended restitution order. Such order may be granted only 
     upon a showing of good cause for the failure to include such 
     losses in the initial claim for restitutionary relief.
       ``(d) Modification of Order.--A victim or the offender may 
     petition the court at any time to modify a restitution order 
     as appropriate in view of a change in the economic 
     circumstances of the offender.
       ``(e) Reference to Magistrate or Special Master.--The court 
     may refer any issue arising in connection with a proposed 
     order of restitution to a magistrate or special master for 
     proposed findings of fact and recommendations as to 
     disposition, subject to a de novo determination of the issue

Para. 103.5  communication from the president--bosnia-herzegovina

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

                                              The White House,

                                      Washington, August 22, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker of the House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I last reported to the Congress on April 
     12 on our support for the United Nations and North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO) efforts to achieve peace and 
     security in Bosnia-Herzegovina. I am informing you today of 
     recent developments in these efforts, including the use of 
     United States combat aircraft on August 5 to attack Bosnian 
     Serb heavy weapons in the Sarajevo heavy weapons exclusion 
     zone.
       Since the adoption of United Nations Security Council 
     Resolution 713 on September 25, 1991, the United Nations has 
     actively sought solutions to the humanitarian and ethnic 
     crisis in the former Yugoslavia. Under United Nations 
     Security Council Resolution 824 (May 6, 1993), certain parts 
     of Bosnia-Herzegovina have been established as safe areas. 
     Sarajevo is specifically designated a safe area that should 
     be ``free from armed attacks and from any other hostile 
     act.''
       A mortar attack on Sarajevo on February 4, 1994, caused 
     numerous civilian casualties, including some 68 deaths. The 
     United Nations Secretary General thereafter requested NATO to 
     authorize, at his request, air operations against artillery 
     or mortar positions determined by the United Nations 
     Protection Forces (UNPROFOR) to have been involved in attacks 
     on civilians.
       On February 9, 1994, NATO responded to the Secretary 
     General's request by authorizing air operations, if needed, 
     using agreed coordination procedures with UNPROFOR. The North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization's decision set a deadline for 
     the withdrawal of heavy weapons within 20 kilometers of the 
     center of Sarajevo or for the regrouping and placement of 
     such weapons under United Nations control. As of February 21, 
     1994, all heavy weapons found within the Sarajevo exclusion 
     zone, unless controlled by UNPROFOR, would be subject to NATO 
     air strikes. In response to the NATO ultimatum, heavy weapons 
     were removed from the exclusion zone or placed in collection 
     sites under UNPROFOR control.
       On August 5, 1994, Bosnian Serb forces entered an UNPROFOR 
     heavy weapons collection site near the town of Ilidza and 
     removed several heavy weapons--a tank, two armored personnel 
     carriers, and a 30mm anti-aircraft system. An UNPROFOR 
     helicopter dispatched to monitor the situation was fired upon 
     and was forced to make an emergency landing. UNPROFOR troops 
     were unsuccessful in attempting to regain custody of the 
     weapons. As a result, UNPROFOR requested assistance from NATO 
     forces in finding the weapons so they could be retrieved or 
     destroyed. NATO responded by making various French, Dutch, 
     British, and U.S. aircraft available for air strikes, if 
     necessary.
       Unable to locate the specific weapons removed from the 
     collection site, UNPROFOR and NATO decided to proceed against 
     other targets in the Sarajevo exclusion zone. Accordingly, on 
     August 5, a U.S. A-10 aircraft strafed a Bosnian Serb M-18 
     76mm self-propelled antitank gun located inside the exclusion 
     zone. No U.S. personnel were injured or killed nor was U.S. 
     equipment damaged in connection with this action. Later on 
     August 5, the Bosnian Serbs called the UNPROFOR Commander, 
     General Rose, and asked him to call off the attacks. They 
     offered to return the heavy weapons that they had taken from 
     the storage site. General Rose agreed and the weapons were 
     returned to UNPROFOR's control.
       I took these actions in conjunction with our allies in 
     order to carry out the NATO decision and to answer UNPROFOR's 
     request for assistance. As I earlier reported to you, our 
     continued efforts are intended to assist the parties to reach 
     a negotiated settlement to the conflict. I have directed the 
     participation by U.S. Armed Forces in this effort pursuant to 
     my constitutional authority to conduct the foreign relations 
     of the United States and as Commander in Chief and Chief 
     Executive.
       I am grateful for the continuing support the Congress has 
     provided, and I look forward to continued cooperation with 
     you in this endeavor. I shall communicate with you further 
     regarding our efforts for peace and stability in the region.
           Sincerely,
                                               William J. Clinton.

  The communication, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-296).

  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. 106.19  appointment of conferees--h.r. 4602

  Thereupon, the SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Texas, by unanimous 
consent, announced the appointment of Messrs. Yates, Murtha, Dicks, 
Bevill, Shaggs, Coleman, Obey, Regula, McDade, Kolbe,  and Packard., as 
managers on the part of the House at said conference.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate of the foregoing 
appointments.

Para. 106.20  dod appropriations

  On motion of Mr. MURTHA, by unanimous consent, the bill (H.R. 4650) 
making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 1995, and for other purposes; together with the 
amendments of the Senate thereto, was taken from the Speaker's table.
  When on motion of Mr. MURTHA, it was,
  Resolved, That the House disagree to the amendments of the Senate and 
agree to the conference asked by the Senate on the disagreeing votes of 
the two Houses thereon.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 106.21  motion to instruct conferees--h.r. 4650

  Mr. WALKER moved that the managers on the part of the House at the 
conference the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on H.R. 4650 be 
instructed to agree to the following language:
  No funds appropriated under this Act shall be used to deploy United 
States Armed Forces to Haiti or otherwise support United States Armed 
Forces in Haiti for purposes of removing the de facto regime or for 
subsequent peacekeeping by United States Armed Forces without first 
obtaining the prior approval of the Congress.

Para. 106.22  point of order

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

  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the motion to instruct 
conferees. The motion instructs conferees to include matter outside the 
scope of the conferees' authority and is in violation of clause 3, rule 
XXVIII.''.

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

  ``Mr. Speaker, my dear friend, the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. 
Murtha], raises the point that the instruction that I have proposed 
falls outside the scope of the legislation that we have before us.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the problem with the gentleman's point is the fact 
that we are about to engage, according to media reports and according 
to announcements from the administration, in an action in Haiti. This 
is not an action that was contemplated at the time the bills were being 
drafted either in the House or the Senate.
  ``Moreover, the troops are being deployed at the present time to 
Haiti under funds appropriated last year, none of which were for the 
purpose of an invasion of Haiti. In my view, the only place that the 
House has to legitimately address this issue is in the defense 
appropriations bill where we can limit funding if we do not believe 
that this particular action should be taken.
  ``This instruction, while it does not meet the strict interpretation 
of scope, is certainly within the scope of the moneys that are going to 
be utilized in the bill that is before us. There is no doubt that if 
this invasion takes place, the moneys that are going to be appropriated 
under this bill will be used in Haiti.
  ``This is an instruction assuring that the Congress has acted on this 
issue and assuring that none of these funds will go forward and be used 
by our Armed Forces in Haiti until there has been a prior approval by 
the Congress for that action.
  ``So I think this is a necessary action to take and conferees would 
then be authorized to place this language into the bills that come back 
for final action in the House. I would hope that the Chair would rule 
in favor of this as an entirely appropriate way for the House to engage 
in the issue of Haiti and assure that the Members of this House have 
had at least a vote on whether or not to engage in a combatant action 
in the nation of Haiti.''. 

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

  ``The motion offered by the gentleman includes matter not within the 
scope of differences on any of the Senate amendments being sent to 
conference. The motion is, therefore, out of order under clause 3 of 
rule XXVIII.
  ``On page 715 of the Manual it is stated that a point of order may be 
sustained against a motion to instruct House conferees to address a 
matter beyond the scope of differences being committed to conference by 
the 215 Senate amendments.
  ``The Chair sustains the point of order.''. 

Para. 106.23  motion to instruct conferees--h.r. 4650

  Mr. McDADE moved that the managers on the part of the House at the 
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on H.R. 4650, as 
they resolve Senate amendment numbered 214, relating to fiscal year 1994 
funding for Rwanda, be instructed to agree to the following provisos in 
Senate amendment 214:

[[Page 1881]]

  ``Provided further, That no funds are available for United States 
participation in operations in or around Rwanda after October 7, 1994''; 
and
  ``Provided further, That any change in the mission from one of strict 
refugee relief to security, peace-enforcing, nation-building or any 
other substantive role, shall not be implemented without the further 
approval of the Congress.''.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, 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 Texas, 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. 106.24  appointment of conferees--h.r. 4650

  Thereupon, the SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Texas, by unanimous 
consent, announced the appointment of Messrs. Murtha, Dicks, Wilson, 
Hefner, Sabo, Dixon, Visclosky, Darden, Obey, McDade, Young of Florida, 
Livingston, Lewis of Georgia, and Skeen, as managers on the part of the 
House at said conference.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate of the foregoing 
appointments.

Para. 106.25  providing for a closed conference--h.r. 4650

  Mr. MURTHA moved, pursuant to clause 6, rule XXVIII, that the 
conference committee meetings between the House and Senate on H.R. 4650; 
be closed to the public at such times as classified national security 
information is under consideration; Provided, however, That any sitting 
Member of Congress shall have a right to attend any closed or open 
meeting.
  The question being put,
  Will the House agree to said motion?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Texas, announced that a roll 
call was required under clause 6, rule XXVIII, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.

     nonforfeitability of the person's accrued benefits and for 
     the purpose of determining the accrual of benefits under the

     authorities in Haiti to agree to leave power;
       Whereas on September 18, 1994, after an agreement was

     present deployment of men and women of the United States 
     Armed Forces in and around Haiti;
       Whereas the Congress and the people of the United States 
     have great pride in the men and women of the United States 
     Armed Forces and fully support them in all their efforts 
     overseas, including those in Haiti: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) commends the efforts of the President in sending former 
     President Jimmy Carter, retired General Colin Powell, and 
     Senator Sam Nunn to Haiti in an effort to avoid the loss of 
     American lives;
       (2) fully supports the men and women of the United States 
     Armed Forces who are carrying out their mission in Haiti with 
     professional excellence and dedicated patriotism;
       (3) supports the efforts of the President, through the 
     special delegation, to provide for the departure from power 
     of the de facto authorities and the return of democracy and 
     the rule of law in Haiti;
       (4) affirms the commitment to national reconciliation and 
     adherence to the rule of law in Haiti; and
       (5) supports an orderly withdrawal of all United States 
     Armed Forces as soon as possible.

pro tempore, Mr. BARLOW, recognized Mr. GEPHARDT and Mr. MICHEL, each 
for 30 minutes.

Para. 109.6  resignation--parliamentarian

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

                                    U.S. House of Representatives,


                                          The Speaker's Rooms,

                                  Washington, DC, August 20, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: In March of this year, I completed my 
     thirty-sixth year with the House of Representatives. In July, 
     I completed my twentieth year as Parliamentarian.
       In the past few months, circumstances, both personal and 
     professional, have focused my attention on retirement. It has 
     been a difficult decision to reach, but I have concluded that 
     it's time for a change.
       The office which I have been privileged to hold continues 
     to be both challenging and rewarding. It is fascinating to 
     encounter--almost daily--fresh interpretations of rules and 
     bill language which require constant evaluation of 
     yesterday's assumptions and conclusions. The House changes 
     from year to year, with new Members and staff and 
     circumstances always reshaping this institution; what does 
     not change is the reservoir of intellect and inventiveness 
     which characterizes those who work in the legislative branch 
     of our government. Daily interaction with such talented 
     people makes the Congress a uniquely fascinating place to 
     work.
       I could not have done this job without a lot of help, 
     without the love and support of my family, who have learned 
     to live with long hours and erratic schedules; without the 
     teamwork at the rostrum and in all the support offices of the 
     House; without the reservoir of personal commitment and 
     professional strength from my colleagues in the Office. Among 
     the Deputy and the assistant parliamentarians there is a 
     wealth of experience and talent. Their accumulated service 
     totals over 80 years. Each is dedicated to the proposition 
     that the rules of this great institution should be applied 
     and enforced without political considerations. All are open 
     to Members and staff with respect to the rules and precedents 
     which govern and guide the deliberations of the House and its 
     committees. They are all exemplary public servants; they can 
     and will continue to carry out the responsibilities of the 
     Office in a manner which reflects the best traditions of the 
     House. We share a lasting bond and I will miss these friends 
     whom I admire and care for so deeply.
       I owe a great debt of gratitude to all the Speakers whom I 
     have been fortunate to know: Sam Rayburn, who first appointed 
     me as an assistant parliamentarian on the recommendation of 
     my legendary predecessor as Parliamentarian, Lewis Deschler; 
     John McCormack, who shared his anecdotes and love of the 
     House during long evening conversations in the Speaker's 
     Rooms; Carl Albert, who had faith enough in my abilities to 
     appoint me as Parliamentarian during a very tumultuous time 
     in the history of the House and has continued to be a valued 
     mentor since his retirement; Thomas P. `Tip' O'Neill, whose 
     good humor and warmth toward me survived some parliamentary 
     decisions which he must have found vexing; Jim Wright, whose 
     eloquence and courage are unflagging. Finally, Mr. Speaker, I 
     must say how much I have valued your friendship and support. 
     You have always been sensitive and faithful to the 
     distinctions between political and parliamentary decisions 
     and your gavel has been both firm and impartial. The 
     opportunities you have given me to interact with other 
     parliamentary institutions, particularly with the newly 
     emerging democratic republics in eastern Europe, have 
     revealed new horizons which I hope to explore more fully in 
     the future. Programs to encourage and foster parliamentary 
     democracy in that area of our world are of critical 
     importance. The House can be proud of the contribution it is 
     making to this effort and if I can be of assistance in these 
     endeavors I will be available to do so.
       I must acknowledge the courtesies and cooperation shown me 
     by the distinguished Minority Leader, Bob Michel. He has 
     always shown an appreciation of the role of our office and he 
     and his staff have been of inestimable support. To have known 
     so many of his predecessors, such distinguished men as Joe 
     Martin, Charley Halleck, John Rhodes and Gerald Ford, has 
     been a rare privilege. All of these Leaders have made the 
     House a better place and have left an indelible mark on its 
     history.
       I will miss the many friendships with Members that have 
     formed over the years. May I extend to them, through you, my 
     appreciation for their kindnesses.
       With your concurrence, my termination as Parliamentarian 
     will be effective on September 15, 1994.
           Very respectfully yours,
                                                 Wm. Holmes Brown.

  The resignation was accepted.

     Code, is amended by inserting after section 2304 the 
     following new sections:

     ``Sec. 2304a. Task and delivery order contracts: general 
       authority

       ``(a) Authority To Award.--Subject to the requirements of 
     this section, section 2304c of this title, and other 
     applicable law, the head of an agency may enter into a task 
     or delivery order contract (as defined in section 2304d of 
     this title) for procurement of services or property.
       ``(b) Solicitation.--The solicitation for a task or 
     delivery order contract shall include the following:
       ``(1) The period of the contract, including the number of 
     options to extend the contract and the period for which the 
     contract may be extended under each option, if any.
       ``(2) The maximum quantity or dollar value of the services 
     or property to be procured under the contract.
       ``(3) A statement of work, specifications, or other 
     description that reasonably describes the general scope, 
     nature, complexity, and purposes of the services or property 
     to be procured under the contract.
       ``(c) Applicability of Restriction on Use of Noncompetitive 
     Procedures.--The head of an agency may use procedures other 
     than competitive procedures to enter into a task or delivery 
     order contract under this section only if an exception in 
     subsection (c) of section 2304 of this title applies to the 
     contract and the use of such procedures is approved in 
     accordance with subsection (f) of such section.
       ``(d) Single and Multiple Contract Awards.--(1) The head of 
     an agency may exercise the authority provided in this 
     section--
       ``(A) to award a single task or delivery order contract; or
       ``(B) if the solicitation states that the head of the 
     agency has the option to do so, to award separate task or 
     delivery order contracts for the same or similar services or 
     property to two or more sources.
       ``(2) No determination under section 2304(b) of this title 
     is required for award of multiple task or delivery order 
     contracts under paragraph (1)(B).
       ``(3) The regulations implementing this subsection shall--
       ``(A) establish a preference for awarding, to the maximum 
     extent practicable, multiple task or delivery order contracts 
     for the same or similar services or property under the 
     authority of paragraph (1)(B); and
       ``(B) establish criteria for determining when award of 
     multiple task or delivery order contracts would not be in the 
     best interest of the Federal Government.
       ``(e) Contract Modifications.--A task or delivery order may 
     not increase the scope, period, or maximum value of the task 
     or delivery order contract under which the order is issued. 
     The scope, period, or maximum value of the contract may be 
     increased only by modification of the contract.
       ``(f) Inapplicability to Contracts for Advisory and 
     Assistance Services.--Except as otherwise specifically 
     provided in section 2304b of this title, this section does 
     not apply to a task or delivery order contract for the 
     procurement of advisory and assistance services (as defined 
     in section 1105(g) of title 31).
       ``(g) Relationship to Other Contracting Authority.--Nothing 
     in this section may be construed to limit or expand any 
     authority of the head of an agency or the Administrator of 
     General Services to enter into schedule, multiple award, or 
     task or delivery order contracts under any other provision of 
     law.

     ``Sec. 2304b. Task order contracts: advisory and assistance 
       services

       ``(a) Authority To Award.--(1) Subject to the requirements 
     of this section, section 2304c of this title, and other 
     applicable law, the head of an agency may enter into a task 
     order contract (as defined in section 2304d of this title) 
     for procurement of advisory and assistance services.
       ``(2) The head of an agency may enter into a task order 
     contract for procurement of advisory and assistance services 
     only under the authority of this section.
       ``(b) Limitation on Contract Period.--The period of a task 
     order contract entered into under this section, including all 
     periods of extensions of the contract under options, 
     modifications, or otherwise, may not exceed five years unless 
     a longer period is specifically authorized in a law that is 
     applicable to such contract.
       ``(c) Content of Notice.--The notice required by section 18 
     of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 
     416) and section 8(e) of the Small Business Act (15

[[Page 1911]]

     U.S.C. 637(e)) shall reasonably and fairly describe the 
     general scope, magnitude, and duration of the proposed task 
     order contract in a manner that would reasonably enable a 
     potential offeror to decide whether to request the 
     solicitation and consider submitting an offer.
       ``(d) Required Content of Solicitation and Contract.--(1) 
     The solicitation for the proposed task order contract shall 
     include the information (regarding services) described in 
     section 2304a(b) of this title.
       ``(2) A task order contract entered into under this section 
     shall contain the same information that is required by 
     paragraph (1) to be included in the solicitation of offers 
     for that contract.
       ``(e) Multiple Awards.--(1) The head of an agency may, on 
     the basis of one solicitation, award separate task order 
     contracts under this section for the same or similar services 
     to two or more sources if the solicitation states that the 
     head of the agency has the option to do so.
       ``(2) If, in the case of a task order contract for advisory 
     and assistance services to be entered into under this 
     section, the contract period is to exceed three years and the 
     contract amount is estimated to exceed $10,000,000 (including 
     all options), the solicitation shall--
       ``(A) provide for a multiple award authorized under 
     paragraph (1); and
       ``(B) include a statement that the head of the agency may 
     also elect to award only one task order contract if the head 
     of the agency determines in writing that only one of the 
     offerers is capable of providing the services required at the 
     level of quality required.
       ``(3) Paragraph (2) does not apply in the case of a 
     solicitation for which the head of the agency concerned 
     determines in writing that, because the services required 
     under the task order contract are unique or highly 
     specialized, it is not practicable to award more than one 
     contract.
       ``(f) Contract Modifications.--(1) A task order may not 
     increase the scope, period, or maximum value of the task 
     order contract under which the order is issued. The scope, 
     period, or maximum value of the contract may be increased 
     only by modification of the contract.
       ``(2) Unless use of procedures other than competitive 
     procedures is authorized by an exception in subsection (c) of 
     section 2304 of this title and approved in accordance with 
     subsection (f) of such section, competitive procedures shall 
     be used for making such a modification.
       ``(3) Notice regarding the modification shall be provided 
     in accordance with section 18 of the Office of Federal 
     Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 416) and section 8(e) of 
     the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(e)).
       ``(g) Contract Extensions.--(1) Notwithstanding the 
     limitation on the contract period set forth in subsection (b) 
     or in a solicitation or contract pursuant to subsection (e), 
     a task order contract entered into by the head of an agency 
     under this section may be extended on a sole-source basis for 
     a period not exceeding six months if the head of such agency 
     determines that--
       ``(A) the award of a follow-on contract has been delayed by 
     circumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable at the 
     time the initial contract was entered into; and
       ``(B) the extension is necessary in order to ensure 
     continuity of the receipt of services pending the award of, 
     and commencement of performance under, the follow-on 
     contract.
       ``(2) A task order contract may be extended under the 
     authority of paragraph (1) only once and only in accordance 
     with the limitations and requirements of this subsection.
       ``(h) Inapplicability to Certain Contracts.--This section 
     does not apply to a contract for the acquisition of property 
     or services that includes acquisition of advisory and 
     assistance services if the head of an agency entering into 
     such contract determines that, under the contract, advisory 
     and assistance services are necessarily incident to, and not 
     a significant component of, the contract.
       ``(i) Advisory and Assistance Services Defined.--In this 
     section, the term `advisory and assistance services' has the 
     meaning given such term in section 1105(g) of title 31.

     ``Sec. 2304c. Task and delivery order contracts: orders

       ``(a) Issuance of Orders.--The following actions are not 
     required for issuance of a task or delivery order under a 
     task or delivery order contract:
       ``(1) A separate notice for such order under section 18 of 
     the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 416) 
     or section 8(e) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(e)).

     (or a waiver of competition approved in accordance with 
     section 2304(f) of this title) that is separate from that 
     used for entering into the contract.
       ``(b) Multiple Award Contracts.--When multiple task or 
     delivery order contracts are awarded under section 
     2304a(d)(1)(B) or 2304b(e) of this title, all contractors 
     awarded such contracts shall be provided a fair opportunity 
     to be considered, pursuant to procedures set forth in the 
     contracts, for each task or delivery order in excess of 
     $2,500 that is to be issued under any of the contracts 
     unless--
       ``(1) the agency's need for the services or property 
     ordered is of such unusual urgency that providing such 
     opportunity to all such contractors would result in 
     unacceptable delays in fulfilling that need;
       ``(2) only one such contractor is capable of providing the 
     services or property required at the level of quality 
     required because the services or property ordered are unique 
     or highly specialized;
       ``(3) the task or delivery order should be issued on a 
     sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency 
     because it is a logical follow-on to a task or delivery order 
     already issued on a competitive basis; or
       ``(4) it is necessary to place the order with a particular 
     contractor in order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.
       ``(c) Statement of Work.--A task or delivery order shall 
     include a statement of work that clearly specifies all tasks 
     to be performed or property to be delivered under the order.
       ``(d) Protests.--A protest is not authorized in connection 
     with the issuance or proposed issuance of a task or delivery 
     order except for a protest on the ground that the order 
     increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract 
     under which the order is issued.
       ``(e) Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman.--Each head of an 
     agency who awards multiple task or delivery order contracts 
     pursuant to section 2304a(d)(1)(B) or 2304b(e) of this title 
     shall appoint or designate a task and delivery order 
     ombudsman who shall be responsible for reviewing complaints 
     from the contractors on such contracts and ensuring that all 
     of the contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be 
     considered for task or delivery orders when required under 
     subsection (b). The task and delivery order ombudsman shall 
     be a senior agency official who is independent of the 
     contracting officer for the contracts and may be the agency's 
     competition advocate.
       ``(f) Applicability.--This section applies to task and 
     delivery order contracts entered into under sections 2304a 
     and 2304b of this title.

     ``Sec. 2304d. Task and delivery order contracts: definitions

[[Page 1912]]

       (3) in subparagraph (B)(ii), by amending subclause (I) to 
     read as follows:
       ``(I) either a statement that the proposals are intended to

     offerors (other than discussions conducted for the purpose of 
     minor clarification) unless discussions are determined to be 
     necessary; and''.
       (b) Evaluation Factors.--Such section is further amended by 
     striking out paragraph (3) and inserting in lieu thereof the 
     following:
       ``(3)(A) In prescribing the evaluation factors to be 
     included in each solicitation for competitive proposals, the 
     head of an agency--

     into multiyear contracts for the purchase of property 
     whenever the head of that agency finds--
       ``(1) that the use of such a contract will result in 
     substantial savings of the total anticipated costs of 
     carrying out the program through annual contracts;
       ``(2) that the minimum need for the property to be 
     purchased is expected to remain substantially unchanged 
     during the contemplated contract period in terms of 
     production rate, procurement rate, and total quantities;
       ``(3) that there is a reasonable expectation that 
     throughout the contemplated contract period the head of the 
     agency will request funding for the contract at the level 
     required to avoid contract cancellation;
       ``(4) that there is a stable design for the property to be 
     acquired and that the technical risks associated with such 
     property are not excessive;
       ``(5) that the estimates of both the cost of the contract 
     and the anticipated cost avoidance through the use of a 
     multiyear contract are realistic; and
       ``(6) in the case of a purchase by the Department of 
     Defense, that the use of such a contract will promote the 
     national security of the United States.

     (2) shall prescribe acquisition regulations for the agency or 
     agencies under the jurisdiction of such official to promote 
     the use of multiyear contracting as authorized by subsection 
     (a) in a manner that will

     allow the most efficient use of multiyear contracting.
       ``(2)(A) The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe the 
     regulations applicable to the Department of Defense.
       ``(B) The Secretary of Transportation shall prescribe the

     Space Administration shall prescribe the regulations 
     applicable to the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration.

     for cancellation provisions in multiyear contracts to the 
     extent that such provisions are necessary and in the best 
     interests of the United States. The cancellation provisions 
     may include consideration of both recurring and nonrecurring 
     costs of the contractor associated with the production of the 
     items to be delivered under the contract.

     used in such a manner as to seek, retain, and promote the use 
     under such contracts of companies that are subcontractors, 
     vendors, or suppliers; and

     or benefit shall be delivered to such company in the most 
     expeditious manner practicable.

     shall provide that, to the extent practicable, the 
     administration of this section, and of the regulations 
     prescribed under this section, shall not be carried out in a 
     manner to preclude or curtail the existing ability of an 
     agency--

     to be delivered under such a contract; or

     performance of which is deficient with respect to cost, 
     quality, or schedule.

     Funding.--In the event funds are not made available for the 
     continuation of a contract made under this section into a 
     subsequent fiscal year, the contract shall be canceled or 
     terminated. The costs of cancellation or termination may be 
     paid from--

     performance of the contract concerned;

     the type of property concerned, and not otherwise obligated;

     components, parts, and materials necessary to the manufacture 
     of a weapon system, including a multiyear contract for such 
     advance procurement that is entered into in order to achieve 
     economic-lot purchases and more efficient production rates.
       ``(i) Defense Acquisitions Specifically Authorized by 
     Law.--(1) A multiyear contract may not be entered into for 
     any fiscal year under this section for a defense acquisition 
     program that has been specifically authorized by law to be 
     carried out using multiyear contract authority unless each of 
     the following conditions is satisfied:
       ``(A) The Secretary of Defense certifies to Congress that 
     the current five-year defense program fully funds the support 
     costs associated with the multiyear program.
       ``(B) The proposed multiyear contract provides for 
     production at not less than minimum economic rates given the 
     existing tooling and facilities.
       ``(2) If for any fiscal year a multiyear contract to be 
     entered into under this section is authorized by law for a 
     particular procurement program and that authorization is 
     subject to certain conditions established by law (including a 
     condition as to cost savings to be achieved under the 
     multiyear contract in comparison to specified other 
     contracts) and if it appears (after negotiations with 
     contractors) that such savings cannot be achieved, but that 
     substantial savings could nevertheless be achieved through 
     the use of a multiyear contract rather than specified other 
     contracts, the President may submit to Congress a request for 
     relief from the specified cost savings that must be achieved 
     through multiyear contracting for that program. Any such 
     request by the President shall include details about the 
     request for a multiyear contract, including details about the 
     negotiated contract terms and conditions.
       ``(j) Defense Contract Options for Varying Quantities.--The 
     Secretary of Defense may instruct the Secretary of the 
     military department concerned to incorporate into a proposed 
     multiyear contract negotiated priced options for varying the 
     quantities of end items to be procured over the period of the 
     contract.
       ``(k) Inapplicability to Automatic Data Processing 
     Contracts.--This section does not apply to contracts for the 
     purchase of property to which section 111 of the Federal 
     Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 
     759) applies.

     subsection, a multiyear contract is a contract for the 
     purchase of property or services for more than one, but not 
     more than five, program years. Such a contract may provide 
     that performance under the contract during the second and 
     subsequent years of the contract is contingent upon the 
     appropriation of funds and (if it does so provide) may 
     provide for a cancellation payment to be made to the 
     contractor if such appropriations are not made.''.

     scope, magnitude, and duration of the proposed task order 
     contract in a manner that would reasonably enable a potential 
     offeror to decide whether to request the solicitation and 
     consider submitting an offer.
       ``(d) Required Content of Solicitation and Contract.--(1) 
     The solicitation shall include the information (regarding 
     services) described in section 303H(b).

     may, on the basis of one solicitation, award separate task 
     order contracts under this section for the same or similar 
     services to two or more sources if the solicitation states 
     that the head of the executive agency has the option to do 
     so.
       ``(2) If, in the case of a task order contract for advisory 
     and assistance services to be entered into under the 
     authority of this section, the contract period is to exceed 
     three years and the contract amount is estimated to exceed 
     $10,000,000 (including all options), the solicitation shall--

     that only one of the offerers is capable of providing the 
     services required at the level of quality required.
       ``(3) Paragraph (2) does not apply in the case of a 
     solicitation for which the head of the executive agency

     required under the contract are unique or highly specialized, 
     it is not practicable to award more than one contract.
       ``(f) Contract Modifications.--(1) A task order may not 
     increase the scope, period, or maximum value of the task 
     order contract under which the order is issued. The scope, 
     period, or maximum value of the contract may be increased 
     only by modification of the contract.

     procedures is authorized by an exception in subsection (c) of

     such a modification.

     a contract entered into by the head of an executive agency 
     under this section may be extended on a sole-source basis for 
     a period not exceeding six months if the head of such 
     executive agency determines that--
       ``(A) the award of a follow-on contract has been delayed by 
     circumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable at the 
     time the initial contract was entered into; and

     authority of paragraph (1) only once and only in accordance 
     with the limitations and requirements of this subsection.
       ``(h) Inapplicability to Certain Contracts.--This section 
     does not apply to a contract for the acquisition of property 
     or services that includes acquisition of advisory and 
     assistance services if the head of the executive agency 
     entering into such contract determines that, under the 
     contract, advisory and assistance services are necessarily 
     incident to, and not a significant component of, the 
     contract.

     (or a waiver of competition approved in accordance with 
     section 303(f)) that is separate from that used for entering 
     into the contract.
       ``(b) Multiple Award Contracts.--When multiple contracts 
     are awarded under section 303H(d)(1)(B) or 303I(e), all 
     contractors awarded such contracts shall be provided a fair 
     opportunity to be considered, pursuant to procedures set 
     forth in the contracts, for each task or delivery order in 
     excess of $2,500 that is to be issued under any of the 
     contracts unless--
       ``(1) the executive agency's need for the services or 
     property ordered is of such unusual urgency that providing 
     such opportunity to all such contractors would result in 
     unacceptable delays in fulfilling that need;

     services or property required at the level of quality 
     required because the services or property ordered are unique 
     or highly specialized;

     sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency

     already issued on a competitive basis; or
       ``(4) it is necessary to place the order with a particular 
     contractor in order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

     include a statement of work that clearly specifies all tasks 
     to be performed or property to be delivered under the order.
       ``(d) Protests.--A protest is not authorized in connection 
     with the issuance or proposed issuance of a task or delivery 
     order except for a protest on the ground that the order 
     increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract 
     under which the order is issued.
       ``(e) Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman.--The head of each 
     executive agency who awards multiple task or delivery order 
     contracts pursuant to section 303H(d)(1)(B) or 303I(e) shall 
     appoint or designate a task and delivery order ombudsman who 
     shall be responsible for reviewing complaints from the 
     contractors on such contracts and ensuring that all of the 
     contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered 
     for task or delivery orders when required under subsection 
     (b). The task and delivery order ombudsman shall be a senior 
     agency official who is independent of the contracting officer 
     for the contracts and may be the executive agency's 
     competition advocate.

       ``(1) funds are available and obligated for such contract, 
     for the full period of the contract or for the first fiscal 
     year in which the contract is in effect, and for the 
     estimated costs associated with any necessary termination of 
     such contract; and
       ``(2) the executive agency determines that--
       ``(A) the need for the property or services is reasonably 
     firm and continuing over the period of the contract; and

     the United States by encouraging full and open competition or 
     promoting economy in administration, performance, and 
     operation of the agency's programs.
       ``(b) Termination Clause.--A multiyear contract entered 
     into under the authority of this section shall include a 
     clause that provides that the contract shall be terminated if 
     funds are not made available for the continuation of such 
     contract in any fiscal year covered by the contract. Amounts 
     available for paying termination costs shall remain available 
     for such purpose until the costs associated with termination 
     of the contract are paid.

     section, a multiyear contract is a contract for the purchase 
     of property or services for more than one, but not more than 
     five, program years. Such a contract may provide that 
     performance under the contract during the second and 
     subsequent years of the contract is contingent upon the 
     appropriation of funds and (if it does so provide) may 
     provide for a cancellation payment to be made to the 
     contractor if such appropriations are not made.

     intended to modify or affect any other provision of law that 
     authorizes multiyear contracts.''.

     commercial items.--In the case of a modification of a

     covered by the prohibition on the submission of cost or 
     pricing data in paragraph (1)(A), submission of cost or

     than a commercial item.

     regulations shall specify the criteria to be used to 
     determine whether adequate price competition exists. In the 
     case of the exception provided in paragraph (1)(A)(ii), the

     of a contract or subcontract, such data may nevertheless be 
     required to be submitted by the head of the procuring 
     activity, but only if the head of the procuring activity 
     determines that such data are necessary for the evaluation by 
     the agency of the reasonableness of the price of the 
     contract, subcontract, or modification of a contract or 
     subcontract. In any case in which the head of the procuring 
     activity requires such data to be submitted under this

     contract, subcontract, or modification of a contract or 
     subcontract, the head of the procuring activity may require 
     submission of data other than certified cost or pricing data

     Items.--
       ``(1) Procurements based on adequate price competition.--To 
     the maximum extent practicable, the head of an executive 
     agency shall conduct procurements of commercial items on a 
     competitive basis. In any procurement of a commercial item 
     conducted on a competitive basis and based upon adequate 
     price competition, the head of the executive agency 
     conducting the procurement shall not require cost or pricing 
     data to be submitted under subsection (a) for the contract, 
     subcontract, or modification of the contract or subcontract 
     under the procurement. If additional information is necessary 
     to determine the reasonableness of the price of the contract, 
     subcontract, or modification of the contract or subcontract, 
     the head of the executive agency shall, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, obtain the additional information from sources 
     other than the offeror.
       ``(2) Procurements not based on adequate price 
     competition.--(A)(i) In any case in which it is not 
     practicable to conduct a procurement of a commercial item 
     covered by subsection (a) on a competitive basis, and the 
     procurement is not covered by an exception in subsection (b), 
     the contracting officer shall seek to obtain from the offeror 
     or contractor information described in clause (ii). When such 
     information is not available from that source, the 
     contracting officer shall seek to obtain such information 
     from another source or sources.
       ``(ii) The information referred in clause (i) is 
     information on prices at which the same item or similar items 
     have been sold in the commercial market that is adequate for 
     evaluating, through price analysis, the reasonableness of the 
     price of the contract, subcontract, or modification of the 
     contract or subcontract under the procurement.
       ``(B) The contracting officer shall exempt a contract, 
     subcontract, or modification of a contract or subcontract 
     under the procurement from the requirements of subsection (a) 
     if the contracting officer obtains the information described 
     in subparagraph (A)(ii) in accordance with standards and 
     procedures set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
       ``(C) A contracting officer may require submission of cost 
     or pricing data under subsection (a) only if the contracting 
     officer makes a written determination that the agency is 
     unable to obtain the information described in subparagraph 
     (A)(ii).

     procedures prescribed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 
     the head of an executive agency is authorized to examine all 
     information provided by an offeror, contractor, or 
     subcontractor pursuant to paragraph (2)(A) and all books and 
     records of such offeror, contractor, or subcontractor that 
     directly relate to such information in order to determine 
     whether the agency is receiving accurate information required 
     under this section.

     after the date of award of the contract, or 2 years after the 
     date of the modification of the contract, with respect to 
     which the information was provided.
       ``(4) Limitations on requests for data.--The Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation shall include reasonable limitations 
     on requests under this subsection for sales data relating to 
     commercial items.
       ``(5) Form of information.--In requesting information from 
     an offeror under this subsection, a contracting officer 
     shall, to the maximum extent practicable, limit the scope of 
     the request to include only information that is in the form 
     regularly maintained by the offeror in commercial operations.
       ``(6) Confidentiality.--Any information received under this 
     subsection that is exempt from disclosure under section 
     552(b) of title 5 shall not be disclosed by the Federal 
     Government.
       ``(e) Price Reductions for Defective Cost or Pricing 
     Data.--(1)(A) A prime contract (or change or modification to 
     a prime contract) under which a certificate under subsection 
     (a)(2) is required shall contain a provision that the price 
     of the contract to the United States, including profit or 
     fee, shall be adjusted to exclude any significant amount by 
     which it may be determined by the head of the executive 
     agency that such price was increased because the contractor 
     (or any subcontractor required to make available such a 
     certificate) submitted defective cost or pricing data.
       ``(B) For the purposes of this section, defective cost or 
     pricing data are cost or pricing data which, as of the date 
     of agreement on the price of the contract (or another date 
     agreed upon between the parties), were inaccurate, 
     incomplete, or noncurrent. If for purposes of the preceding 
     sentence the parties agree upon a date other than the date of 
     agreement on the price of the contract, the date agreed upon 
     by the parties shall be as

     close to the date of agreement on the price of the contract 
     as is practicable.
       ``(2) In determining for purposes of a contract price 
     adjustment under a contract provision required by paragraph 
     (1) whether, and to what extent, a contract price was 
     increased because the contractor (or a subcontractor) 
     submitted defective cost or pricing data, it shall be a 
     defense that the United States did not rely on the defective 
     data submitted by the contractor or subcontractor.
       ``(3) It is not a defense to an adjustment of the price of 
     a contract under a contract provision required by paragraph 
     (1) that--
       ``(A) the price of the contract would not have been 
     modified even if accurate, complete, and current cost or 
     pricing data had been submitted by the contractor or 
     subcontractor because the contractor or subcontractor--
       ``(i) was the sole source of the property or services 
     procured; or
       ``(ii) otherwise was in a superior bargaining position with 
     respect to the property or services procured;

     cost or pricing data in issue were defective even though the 
     contractor or subcontractor took no affirmative action to 
     bring the character of the data to the attention of the 
     contracting officer;
       ``(C) the contract was based on an agreement between the 
     contractor and the United States about the total cost of the 
     contract and there was no agreement about the cost of each 
     item procured under such contract; or
       ``(D) the prime contractor or subcontractor did not submit 
     a certification of cost or pricing data relating to the 
     contract as required under subsection (a)(2).

     against the amount of a contract price adjustment under a 
     contract provision required by paragraph (1) if--
       ``(i) the contractor certifies to the contracting officer 
     (or to a designated representative of the contracting 
     officer) that, to the best of the contractor's knowledge and 
     belief, the contractor is entitled to the offset; and
       ``(ii) the contractor proves that the cost or pricing data 
     were available before the date of agreement on the price of 
     the contract (or price of the modification), or, if 
     applicable consistent with paragraph (1)(B), another date 
     agreed upon between the parties, and that the data were not 
     submitted as specified in subsection (a)(3) before such date.

     otherwise authorized to be offset under subparagraph (A) if--
       ``(i) the certification under subsection (a)(2) with 
     respect to the cost or pricing data involved was known to be 
     false when signed; or

     pricing data referred to in subparagraph (A)(ii) been 
     submitted to the United States before the date of agreement 
     on the price of the contract (or price of the modification) 
     or, if applicable under paragraph (1)(B), another date agreed 
     upon between the parties, the submission of such cost or 
     pricing data would not have resulted in an increase in that 
     price in the amount to be offset.
       ``(f) Interest and Penalties for Certain Overpayments.--(1) 
     If the United States makes an overpayment to a contractor 
     under a contract with an executive agency subject to this 
     section and the overpayment was due to the submission by the 
     contractor of defective cost or pricing data, the contractor 
     shall be liable to the United States--
       ``(A) for interest on the amount of such overpayment, to be 
     computed--

     the Treasury under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code 
     of 1986; and

     knowing submission, for an additional amount equal to the

     that submits cost or pricing data but refuses to submit the

     the cost or pricing data shall not be affected by the refusal 
     to submit such certification.

     Records.--For the purpose of evaluating the accuracy,

     to be submitted by this section, an executive agency shall 
     have the authority provided by section 304C(a)(2).

     Regulation shall include regulations concerning the types of 
     information that offerors must submit for a contracting 
     officer to consider in determining whether the price of a 
     procurement to the Government is fair and reasonable when 
     certified cost or pricing data are not required to be 
     submitted under this section because the price of the 
     procurement to the United States is not expected to exceed 
     the applicable threshold amount set forth in subsection (a) 
     (as adjusted pursuant to paragraph (7) of such subsection). 
     Such information, at a minimum, shall include appropriate 
     information on the prices at which the same item or similar

       ``(1) Cost or pricing data.--The term `cost or pricing 
     data' means all facts that, as of the date of agreement on 
     the price of a contract (or the price of a contract 
     modification) or, if applicable consistent with subsection 
     (e)(1)(B), another date agreed upon between the parties, a 
     prudent buyer or seller would reasonably expect to affect 
     price negotiations significantly. Such term does not include 
     information that is judgmental, but does include the factual 
     information from which a judgment was derived.
       ``(2) Subcontract.--The term `subcontract' includes a 
     transfer of commercial items between divisions, subsidiaries, 
     or affiliates of a contractor or a subcontractor.
       ``(3) Commercial item.--The term `commercial item' has the 
     meaning provided such term by section 4(12) of the Office of 
     Federal Procurement Policy Act.''.
       (b) Applicability.--Subsection (a) of section 304A of the 
     Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as added by 
     subsection (a), shall apply according to the provisions 
     thereof on and after the date of the enactment of this Act,

     increase in the cost of living or a special factor, such as 
     the limited availability of qualified attorneys for the 
     proceedings involved, justifies a higher fee.

     (1) that a Federal agency pay costs to an interested party, 
     the Federal agency shall--
       ``(A) pay the costs promptly; or

     (1) that a Federal agency pay costs to an interested party, 
     the Federal agency and the interested party shall attempt to 
     reach an agreement on the amount of the costs to be paid. If 
     the Federal agency and the interested party are unable to 
     agree on the amount to be paid, the Comptroller General may, 
     upon the request of the interested party, recommend to the 
     Federal agency the amount of the costs that the Federal 
     agency should pay.''.

     preceding year. The report shall also describe each instance

     contractor.
       ``(2) The head of an executive agency receiving a 
     recommendation under paragraph (1) in the case of a

     of an executive agency whether to reduce or suspend payments 
     under paragraph (2), and for each recommendation received by

     SEC. 2151. ALLOWABLE CONTRACT COSTS.

       Section 306 of the Federal Property and Administrative 
     Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 256) is amended to read as 
     follows:

     ``SEC. 306. ALLOWABLE COSTS.

       ``(a) Indirect Cost That Violates a FAR Cost Principle.--An 
     executive agency shall require that a covered contract 
     provide that if the contractor submits to the executive 
     agency a proposal for settlement of indirect costs incurred 
     by the contractor for any period after such costs have been 
     accrued and if that proposal includes the submission of a 
     cost which is unallowable because the cost violates a cost 
     principle in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (referred to 
     in section 25(c)(1) of the Office of Federal Procurement 
     Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 421(c)(1)) or an executive agency 
     supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the cost 
     shall be disallowed.
       ``(b) Penalty for Violation of Cost Principle.--(1) If the 
     executive agency determines that a cost submitted by a 
     contractor in its proposal for settlement is expressly 
     unallowable under a cost principle referred to in subsection 
     (a) that defines the allowability of specific selected costs, 
     the executive agency shall assess a penalty against the 
     contractor in an amount equal to--
       ``(A) the amount of the disallowed cost allocated to 
     covered contracts for which a proposal for settlement of 
     indirect costs has been submitted; plus
       ``(B) interest (to be computed based on provisions in the 
     Federal Acquisition Regulation) to compensate the United 
     States for the use of any funds which a contractor has been 
     paid in excess of the amount to which the contractor was 
     entitled.
       ``(2) If the executive agency determines that a proposal 
     for settlement of indirect costs submitted by a contractor 
     includes a cost determined to be unallowable in the case of 
     such contractor before the submission of such proposal, the 
     executive agency shall assess a penalty against the 
     contractor in an amount equal to two times the amount of the 
     disallowed cost allocated to covered contracts for which a 
     proposal for settlement of indirect costs has been submitted.
       ``(c) Waiver of Penalty.--The Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation shall provide for a penalty under subsection (b) 
     to be waived in the case of a contractor's proposal for 
     settlement of indirect costs when--
       ``(1) the contractor withdraws the proposal before the 
     formal initiation of an audit of the proposal by the Federal 
     Government and resubmits a revised proposal;
       ``(2) the amount of unallowable costs subject to the 
     penalty is insignificant; or
       ``(3) the contractor demonstrates, to the contracting 
     officer's satisfaction, that--
       ``(A) it has established appropriate policies and personnel 
     training and an internal control and review system that 
     provide assurances that unallowable costs subject to 
     penalties are precluded from being included in the 
     contractor's proposal for settlement of indirect costs; and
       ``(B) the unallowable costs subject to the penalty were 
     inadvertently incorporated into the proposal.
       ``(d) Applicability of Contract Disputes Procedure to 
     Disallowance of Cost and Assessment of Penalty.--An action of 
     an executive agency under subsection (a) or (b)--
       ``(1) shall be considered a final decision for the purposes 
     of section 6 of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. 
     605); and
       ``(2) is appealable in the manner provided in section 7 of 
     such Act (41 U.S.C. 606).

     costs are not allowable under a covered contract:
       ``(A) Costs of entertainment, including amusement, 
     diversion, and social activities, and any costs directly 
     associated with such costs (such as tickets to shows or 
     sports events, meals, lodging, rentals, transportation, and 
     gratuities).
       ``(B) Costs incurred to influence (directly or indirectly) 
     legislative action on any matter pending before Congress, a 
     State legislature, or a legislative body of a political 
     subdivision of a State.

     fraud proceeding or similar proceeding (including filing of 
     any false certification) brought by the United States where 
     the contractor is found liable or had pleaded nolo contendere 
     to a charge of fraud or similar proceeding (including filing 
     of a false certification).
       ``(D) Payments of fines and penalties resulting from 
     violations of, or failure to comply with, Federal, State, 
     local, or foreign laws and regulations, except when incurred 
     as a result of compliance with specific terms and conditions

     contracting officer authorizing in advance such payments in 
     accordance with applicable provisions of the Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation.

     similar services in the United States, as determined under 
     the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

     foreign national employed by the contractor under a service 
     contract performed in a foreign country if the termination of 
     the employment of the foreign national is the result of the

     States facility in that country at the request of the 
     government of that country.

     to that contract if the executive agency determines that--
       ``(i) the application of such provisions to the contract 
     would adversely affect the continuation of a program, 
     project, or activity that provides significant support 
     services for employees of the executive agency posted outside

     to take) appropriate actions within the contractor's control 
     to minimize the amount and number of incidents of the payment 
     of severance pay by the contractor to employees under the 
     contract who are foreign nationals; and
       ``(iii) the payment of severance pay is necessary in order 
     to comply with a law that is generally applicable to a 
     significant number of businesses in the country in which the 
     foreign national receiving the payment performed services 
     under the contract or is necessary to comply with a 
     collective bargaining agreement.

     determination regarding whether to grant a waiver under 
     subparagraph (A) with respect to a covered contract before 
     award of the contract.

       (C) achieving more productive and equitable relationships 
     between the Federal Government and the regulated segments of 
     the private sector.
       (2) The use of negotiated rulemaking or similar techniques 
     in Federal procurement regulations could be appropriate given 
     the extreme complexity and intricate interactions between

     the benefits described in subsection (a)(1).

     universities and minority institutions in order to increase 
     the participation of such colleges and universities in the 
     program provided for by this section.

     section 25(c) of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act 
     (41 U.S.C. 421(c)) shall provide procedures or guidelines for

     entities with experience and expertise in the design, 
     development, and delivery of technical assistance services to 
     eligible individuals, business firms and institutions,

     minority institutions that each such entity brings into the 
     program.

     attain the goal of subsection (a):

     increasing awards of agency contracts to entities described 
     in subsection (a)(1);

     the extent to which use of the authority provided in 
     paragraphs (2) and (3) and compliance with the requirement in 
     paragraph (4) is effective for facilitating the attainment of 
     the goal.

     (including awards under section 8(a) of the Small Business 
     Act) and partial set asides for entities described in 
     subsection (a)(1), but shall pay a price not exceeding fair 
     market cost by more than 10 percent in payment per contract 
     to contractors or subcontractors described in subsection (a). 
     The head an agency shall adjust the percentage specified in 
     the preceding sentence for any industry category if available 
     information clearly indicates that nondisadvantaged small 
     business concerns in such industry category are generally 
     being denied a reasonable opportunity to compete for 
     contracts because of the use of that percentage in the 
     application of this paragraph.

     shall maximize the number of minority small business 
     concerns, historically Black colleges and universities, and

     award of contracts to entities described in subsection (a)(1) 
     in all industry categories, including those categories in 
     which such entities have not traditionally dominated.

     among the following programs:
       ``(i) The program implementing this section.

     644(a)).
       ``(D) With respect to an agency procurement which is 
     reasonably likely to be set aside for entities described in 
     subsection (a)(1), a requirement that (to the maximum extent 
     practicable) the procurement be designated as such a set-
     aside before the solicitation for the procurement is issued.
       ``(E) Policies and procedures which, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, will ensure that current levels in the number or 
     dollar value of contracts awarded under the program 
     established under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 637(a)) and under the small business set-aside program

     to provide new opportunities for contract awards to eligible 
     entities, in order to meet the goal of subsection (a).

     not alter the procurement process under the program

     performance of a contracting officer be the ability of the 
     officer to increase contract awards to entities described in

     in subsection (a)(1).

     or person as a small business concern owned and controlled by 
     a minority (as described in subsection (a)), shall be 
     punished by imprisonment for not more than one year, or a 
     fine under title 18, or both.

     awarding a contract under this section to an entity described 
     in subsection (a)(1) unless the entity agrees to comply with 
     the requirements of section 15(o)(1) of the Small Business 
     Act (15 U.S.C. 644(o)(1)).
       ``(g) Industry Categories.--(1) To the maximum extent 
     practicable, the head of the agency shall--
       ``(A) ensure that no particular industry category bears a 
     disproportionate share of the contracts awarded to attain the 
     goal established by subsection (a); and
       ``(B) ensure that contracts awarded to attain the goal 
     established by subsection (a) are made across the broadest 
     possible range of industry categories.
       ``(2) Under procedures prescribed by the head of the 
     agency, a person may request the Secretary to determine 
     whether the use of small disadvantaged business set asides by 
     a contracting activity of the agency has caused a particular 
     industry category to bear a disproportionate share of the 
     contracts awarded to attain the goal established for that 
     contracting activity for the purposes of this section. Upon 
     making a determination that a particular industry category is 
     bearing a disproportionate share, the head of the agency 
     shall take appropriate actions to limit the contracting 
     activity's use of set asides in awarding contracts in that 
     particular industry category.

     (1) The Federal Acquisition Regulation shall contain 
     regulations to ensure that potential contractors submitting 
     sealed bids or competitive proposals to the agency for 
     procurement contracts to be awarded under the program 
     provided for by this section are complying with applicable 
     subcontracting plan requirements of section 8(d) of the Small

     negotiate or submit a subcontracting plan under section 8(d) 
     of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)), the

     each year, the head of the agency shall submit to Congress a 
     report on the progress of the agency toward attaining the

     of contracts and subcontracts referred to in subsection 
     (a)(1); and

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Community Improvement 
     Volunteer Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 7302. PURPOSE.

       It is the purpose of this subtitle to promote and provide 
     opportunities for people who wish to volunteer their services 
     to State or local governments, public agencies, or nonprofit 
     charitable organizations in the construction, repair or 
     alteration (including painting and decorating) of public 
     buildings and public works that are funded, in whole or in 
     part, with Federal financial assistance authorized under 
     certain Federal programs and that might not otherwise be 
     possible without the use of volunteers.

     SEC. 7303. WAIVER FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO PERFORM VOLUNTEER 
                   SERVICES FOR PUBLIC ENTITIES.

       (a) In General.--The requirement that certain laborers and 
     mechanics be paid in accordance with the wage-setting 
     provisions of the Act of March 3, 1931 (commonly known as the 
     ``Davis-Bacon Act'') (40 U.S.C. 276a et seq.) as set forth in 
     any of the Acts or provisions described in section 7305 shall 
     not apply to an individual--
       (1) who volunteers--
       (A) to perform a service directly to a State or local 
     government or a public agency for civic, charitable, or 
     humanitarian reasons, without promise, expectation, or 
     receipt of compensation for services rendered, other than 
     expenses, reasonable benefits, or a nominal fee (as defined 
     in subsection (b)), but solely for the personal purpose or 
     pleasure of the individual; and
       (B) to provide such services freely and without pressure or 
     coercion, direct or implied, from any employer;
       (2) whose contribution of service is not for the direct or 
     indirect benefit of any contractor otherwise performing or 
     seeking to perform work on the same project for which the 
     individual is volunteering;
       (3) who is not employed by and does not provide services to 
     a contractor or subcontractor at any time on the federally 
     assisted or insured project for which the individual is 
     volunteering; and
       (4) who is not otherwise employed by the same public agency 
     to perform the same type of services as those for which the 
     individual proposes to volunteer.
       (b) Expenses.--Payments of expenses, reasonable benefits, 
     or a nominal fee may be provided to volunteers described in 
     subsection (a) only in accordance with regulations issued by 
     the Secretary of Labor. In prescribing the regulations, the 
     Secretary shall take into consideration criteria such as the 
     total amount of payments made (relating to expenses, 
     benefits, or fees) in the context of the economic realities. 
     The regulations shall include provisions that provide that--
       (1) a payment for an expense may be received by a volunteer 
     for items such as uniform allowances, protective gear and 
     clothing, reimbursement for approximate out-of-pocket 
     expenses, or for the cost or expense of meals and 
     transportation;
       (2) a reasonable benefit may include the inclusion of a 
     volunteer in a group insurance plan (such as a liability, 
     health, life, disability, or worker's compensation plan) or 
     pension plan, or the awarding of a length of service award; 
     and
       (3) a nominal fee may not be used as a substitute for 
     compensation and may not be connected to productivity.
     The decision as to what constitutes a nominal fee for 
     purposes of paragraph (3) shall be determined based on the 
     context of the economic realities of the situation involved 
     and shall be made by the Secretary of Labor.
       (c) Economic Reality.--For purposes of subsection (b), in 
     determining whether an expense, benefit, or fee described in 
     such subsection may be paid to volunteers in the context of 
     the economic realities of the particular situation, the 
     Secretary of Labor may not permit any such expense, benefit, 
     or fee that has the effect of undermining labor standards by 
     creating downward pressure on prevailing wages in the local 
     construction industry.

                   SERVICES FOR NONPROFIT ENTITIES.

     nonprofit recipient of Federal assistance for civic, 
     charitable, or humanitarian reasons, without promise, 
     expectation, or receipt of compensation for services 
     rendered, but solely for the personal purpose or pleasure of

     indirect benefit of any contractor otherwise performing or 
     seeking to perform work on the same project for which the 
     individual is volunteering;
       (3) who is not employed by and does not provide services to 
     a contractor or subcontractor at any time on the federally 
     assisted or insured project for which the individual is 
     volunteering; and
       (4) who is not otherwise employed by the recipient of 
     Federal assistance to perform the same type of services as 
     those for which the individual proposes to volunteer.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McHALE, 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 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), I transmit herewith an Agreement 
between the Government of the United States of America and the 
Government of the People's Republic of China Extending the Agreement of 
July 23, 1985, Concerning Fisheries Off the Coasts of the United States, 
as extended and amended. The Agreement, which was effected by an 
exchange of notes at Beijing on March 4 and May 31, 1994, extends the 
1985 Agreement to July 1, 1996.
  In light of the importance of our fisheries relationship with the 
People's Republic of China, I urge that the Congress give favorable 
consideration to this Agreement at an early date.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, September 20, 1994.

papers, was referred to the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries

Para. 109.28  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to angola

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. McHALE, 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 March 26, 
1994, concerning the national emergency with respect to Angola that was 
declared in Executive Order No. 12865 of September 26, 1993. 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).
  On September 26, 1993, I declared a national emergency with respect to 
Angola, invoking the authority, inter alia, of the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and the United 
Nations Participation Act of 1945 (22 U.S.C. 287c). Consistent with 
United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 864, dated September 15, 
1993, the order prohibited the sale or supply by U.S. persons or from 
the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of arms 
and related materiel of all types, including weapons and ammunition, 
military vehicles, equipment and spare parts, and petroleum and 
petroleum products to the territory of Angola other than through 
designated points of entry. The order also prohibited such sale or 
supply to the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola 
(``UNITA''). United States persons are prohibited from activities that 
promote or are calculated to promote such sales or supplies, or from 
attempted violations, or from evasion or avoidance or transactions that 
have the purpose of evasion or avoidance, of the stated prohibitions. 
The order authorized the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with 
the Secretary of State, to take such actions, including the promulgation 
of rules and regulations, as might be necessary to carry out the 
purposes of the order.
  1. On December 10, 1993, the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign 
Assets Control (``FAC'') issued the UNITA (Angola) Sanctions Regulations 
(the ``Regulations'') (58 Fed. Reg. 64904) to implement the President's 
declaration of a national emergency and imposition of sanctions against 
Angola (UNITA). There have been no amendments to the Regulations since 
my report of April 12, 1994.

  The Regulations prohibit the sale or supply by U.S. persons or from 
the United States, or using U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft, of 
arms and related materiel of all types, including weapons and 
ammunition, military vehicles, equipment and spare parts, and petroleum 
and petroleum products to UNITA or to the territory of Angola other 
than through designated points. United States persons are also 
prohibited from activities that promote or are calculated to promote 
such sales or supplies to UNITA or Angola, or from any transaction by 
any U.S. persons that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading 
or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth 
in the Executive order. Also prohibited are transactions by U.S. 
persons, or involving the use of U.S.-registered vessels or aircraft 
relating to transportation to Angola or UNITA of goods the exportation 
of which is prohibited.
  The Government of Angola has designated the following points of entry 
as points in Angola to which the articles otherwise prohibited by the 
Regulations may be shipped: Airports: Luanda and Katumbela, Benguela 
Province; Ports: Luanda and Lobito, Benguela Province; and Namibe, 
Namibe Province; and Entry Points: Malongo, Cabinda Province. Although 
no specific license is required by the Department of the Treasury for 
shipments to these designated points of entry (unless the item is 
destined for UNITA), any such exports remain subject to the licensing 
requirements of the Departments of State and/or Commerce.

[[Page 1964]]

  2. FAC has worked closely with the U.S. financial community to assure 
a heightened awareness of the sanctions against UNITA--through the 
dissemination of publications, seminars, and notices to electronic 
bulletin boards. This educational effort has resulted in frequent calls 
from banks to assure that they are not routing funds in violation of 
these prohibitions. United States exporters have also been notified of 
the sanctions through a variety of media, including special fliers and 
computer bulletin board information initiated by FAC and posted through 
the Department of Commerce and the Government Printing Office. There 
have been no license applications under the program.
  3. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month 
period from March 26, 1994, through September 25, 1994, that are 
directly attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities 
conferred by the declaration of a national emergency with respect to 
Angola (UNITA) are reported at about $75,000, most of which represents 
wage and salary costs for Federal personnel. Personnel costs were 
largely centered in the Department of the Treasury (particularly in the 
Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Customs Service, the Office 
of the Under Secretary for Enforcement, and the Office of the General 
Counsel) and the Department of State (particularly the Office of 
Southern African Affairs).
  I will continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant 
developments, pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1703(c).
                                                  William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, September 20, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, was referred to the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-312).

     this resolution. Each amendment may be offered only in the 
     order printed in the report, may be offered only by a Member

     report are waived. At the conclusion of consideration of the 
     bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the 
     bill to the House with such amendments as may have been 
     adopted. The previous question shall be considered as ordered 
     on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage without

       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this Act:
       (1) The terms ``Six Rivers National Forest Addition'' and 
     ``Headwaters Forest'' mean the area authorized for land 
     acquisition activities under section 3, as depicted on the 
     map described in section 3(b)(1).
       (2) The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of 
     Agriculture.

     SEC. 3. ADDITION TO SIX RIVERS NATIONAL FOREST.

       (a) Modification of Boundaries.--Effective upon the 
     consummation of a land acquisition conducted as provided in 
     subsection (b), the Secretary of Agriculture shall modify the 
     exterior boundaries of the Six Rivers National Forest in the 
     State of California to include the acquired lands.
       (b) Acquisition of Land.--
       (1) Area for acquisition activities.--The Secretary may 
     acquire lands and interests in land within the boundaries of 
     an area comprising approximately 44,000 acres, as generally 
     depicted on the map entitled ``Six Rivers National Forest 
     Addition proposed'' and dated June 1993, for inclusion in the 
     Six Rivers National Forest under subsection (a). The map 
     shall be on file and available for public inspection in the 
     offices of the Forest Supervisor, Six Rivers National Forest, 
     and in the offices of the Chief of the Forest Service, 
     Department of Agriculture.
       (2) Manner of conducting acquisition.--Lands and interests 
     in lands within the Six Rivers National Forest Addition may 
     be acquired by the Secretary only by donation, by purchase 
     with donated or appropriated funds, or by exchange.
       (3) Special rule for federal transfers.--For purposes of 
     making an exchange under paragraph (2), excess or surplus 
     lands under the jurisdiction of any other department, agency, 
     or instrumentality of the United States may be transferred, 
     subject to the advance approval of the transfer by law, to 
     the administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary if the 
     Secretary identifies the lands as suitable for use in making 
     an exchange. To facilitate the approval of a transfer of 
     lands under this paragraph, the Secretary shall submit to the 
     Committee on Agriculture and the Committee on Natural 
     Resources of the House of Representatives and to the 
     Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the 
     Senate proposed legislation in connection with the proposed 
     transfer. The transfer of lands under this paragraph shall be 
     made without compensation to the transferring department, 
     agency, or instrumentality.
       (4) Acquisition of certain lands outside addition.--When a 
     tract of land proposed to be acquired is only partly within 
     the Six Rivers National Forest Addition, the Secretary may 
     acquire all or any portion of the land outside of the Six 
     Rivers National Forest Addition to minimize the payment of 
     severance costs. Land acquired outside of the boundaries may 
     be exchanged by the Secretary for nonFederal lands within the 
     boundaries. Land acquired outside of the boundaries of the 
     Six Rivers National Forest Addition under this paragraph and 
     not used for exchange shall be reported to the Administrator 
     of the General Services Administration for disposal under the 
     Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 
     U.S.C. 471 et seq.).
       (5) Special rule for state or local government lands.--
     Lands and interests in lands within the boundaries of the Six 
     Rivers National Forest Addition that are owned by the State 
     of California or any political subdivision thereof, may be 
     acquired only by donation or exchanges.
       (6) Acceptance and use of funds.--The Secretary may accept 
     from the State of California funds to cover the cost of 
     acquiring lands within the Six Rivers National Forest 
     Addition. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     Secretary may retain and expend such funds for purposes of 
     such acquisition. Such funds shall be available for such 
     purposes without further appropriation and without fiscal 
     year limitation.
       (c) Land Acquisition Plan.--The Secretary shall develop and 
     implement, within 6 months after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, a land acquisition plan that contains specific 
     provisions addressing how and when lands will be acquired 
     under subsection (b). The plan shall give priority first to 
     the acquisition of lands within the Six Rivers National 
     Forest Addition proposed for inclusion in the National 
     Wilderness Preservation System. The plan shall include an 
     analysis of the possibilities for acquisition through means 
     other than the expenditure of funds, including the use of 
     excess and surplus Federal properties. The Secretary shall 
     identify and list these properties. The Secretary shall 
     submit copies of the plan to the Committee on Natural 
     Resources, the Committee on Agriculture, and the Committee on 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives and to the 
     Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, the Committee on 
     Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, and the Committee on 
     Appropriations of the Senate.
       (d) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are hereby 
     authorized to be appro- 

[[Page 1977]]

     priated such sums as may be necessary to carry out the 
     purposes of this Act.
       (e) Termination of Acquisition Authority.--Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of this section, the Secretary may not 
     acquire lands under the authority of this section after the 
     end of the 10-year period beginning on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
       In section 4 of the bill, strike subsection (b) and insert 
     the following new subsection:
       (b) Map and Description.--As soon as practicable after the 
     inclusion of any lands in the Headwaters Forest Wilderness, 
     the Secretary shall file a map and a legal description of the 
     area so included with the Committee on Natural Resources of 
     the House of Representatives and with the Committee on Energy 
     and Natural Resources of the Senate. The Secretary may 
     correct clerical and typographical errors in such legal 
     description and such map. Each such map and legal description 
     shall be on file and available for public inspection in the 
     offices of the Forest Supervisor, Six Rivers National Forest, 
     and in the offices of the Chief of the Forest Service, 
     Department of Agriculture.
       In section 5 of the bill, strike subsection (a) and insert 
     the following new subsection:
       (a) Management Plan.--Within 1 year after acquiring all or 
     part of the lands identified to be acquired in section 3, the 
     Secretary shall develop a comprehensive management plan for 
     the acquired lands detailing measures for the preservation of 
     the existing old growth redwood ecosystems. The management 
     plan shall include each of the following with respect to the 
     lands so acquired:
       (1) Prohibition of the sale of timber from lands within the 
     old growth redwood groves as depicted generally on the map 
     referred to in section 3(b)(1). Timber sales in other areas 
     within the Six Rivers National Forest Addition shall be 
     allowed consistent with the purposes of this Act and other 
     applicable Federal laws and regulations.
       (2) Measures to restore lands affected by previous timber 
     harvests to mitigate watershed degradation and impairment of 
     habitat for the marbled murrelet, northern spotted owl, 
     native salmon stocks, and other old-growth forest dependent 
     species.

     The management plan shall be reviewed and revised each time 
     the land and resource management plan for the Six Rivers 
     National Forest is revised or more frequently as necessary to 
     meet the purposes of this Act.
       Add at the end the following new section:

     lawful use of the lands by the owners of the lands or their 
     designees;
       (2) construed as authority to defer the submission, review, 
     approval, or implementation of any timber harvest or similar

     within the Six Rivers National Forest Addition by

     procedures may adversely affect the ability of minorities to 
     compete successfully for admission to the United States Coast 
     Guard Academy.

     funds to States for the development of public facilities for 
     transient nontrailerable vessels.
       (c) Survey.--Within 18 months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, any State may complete and submit to

     facilities for transient nontrailerable vessels to meet the 
     needs of nontrailerable vessels operating on navigable waters 
     in the State.
       (e) Grant Program.--
       (1) Matching grants.--The Secretary of the Interior may

     of the Act of August 9, 1950, as amended by section 902(a)(1) 
     of this title, to make grants to any State to pay not more 
     than 75 percent of the cost of constructing or renovating 
     public facilities for transient nontrailerable vessels.
       (2) Priorities.--
       (A) In general.--In awarding grants under this subsection, 
     the Secretary of the Interior shall give priority to projects 
     that consist of the construction or renovation of public

     paragraph shall take effect on October 1, 1994.
       (2) In section 203, by adding at the end thereof the 
     following new subsection:
       ``(c) Loan and Grant Agreements.--Upon termination of the 
     Commission, the Secretary, acting through the National Park 
     Service, shall assume all responsibilities of the Commission 
     for administration and oversight of the loan and grant 
     agreements under section 303.''.
       (3) In section 205, by adding at the end thereof the 
     following new subsection:

     negotiate and enter into leases, as appropriate, with any 
     person, firm, association, organization, corporation or 
     governmental entity for the use of any property within the 
     Park and Preservation District in accordance with the General 
     Management Plan and any of the purposes set forth in section 
     1 of this Act.
       ``(2) Any leases entered into under this subsection shall 
     be subject to such procedures, terms, conditions and 
     restrictions as the Secretary deems necessary. The Secretary 
     is authorized to negotiate and enter into leases or other 
     agreements, at fair market value and without regard to 
     section 321 of chapter 314 of the Act of June 30, 1932 (40

     preservation, maintenance, restoration, improvement, repair 
     and related expenses with respect to the leased properties.
       ``(3) The proceeds from leases under this subsection shall 
     be retained by the Secretary, be available without further 
     appropriation, remain available until expended, and be used 
     to offset the costs of preservation, interpretation, 
     restoration, maintenance, improvement, repair, and related 
     expenses, including administration related to such expenses, 
     incurred by the Secretary with respect to properties within 
     the Park and Preservation District, with the balance used to 
     offset other costs incurred by the Secretary in the 
     administration of the Park.
       ``(4) Each lessee of a lease entered into under this 
     subsection shall keep such records as the Secretary may 
     prescribe to enable the Secretary to determine that all terms 
     of the lease have been, and are being, faithfully performed.
       ``(5) The Secretary shall annually prepare and submit to 
     Congress a report on property leased under this 
     subsection.''.
       (4) In section 301(i), by striking ``seventeen'' and 
     inserting ``22''.
       (5) In section 303(a), by amending paragraph (1) to read as 
     follows:
       ``(1) The loan to the corporation shall have a maturity of 
     35 years. At the end of such period, the corporation shall 
     repay to the Secretary of the Treasury (in a lump sum) for 
     deposit in the general fund of the Treasury the full amount 
     of the loan and any additional amounts accruing to the 
     corporation pursuant to this subsection excepting principal 
     and interest losses occasioned by loan defaults after all 
     reasonable efforts at collection have been completed plus 
     those amounts expended by the Corporation for reasonable 
     administrative expenses. The Commission is further authorized 
     to renegotiate the terms and conditions respecting loan 
     repayment of the agreement dated December 8, 1980, with the 
     Lowell Development and Financial Corporation. The authority 
     provided in this paragraph shall be available only to the 
     extent that appropriations for a subsidy cost, as defined in 
     section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, are made 
     in advance.''.
       (6) In section 305(g), by inserting before the period at 
     the end thereof ``for administration by the National Park 
     Service in accordance with the general management plan''.
       (7) By adding after section 307 the following:

Para. 114.19  notice requirement--motion to instruct conferees--h.r. 820

  Mr. WALKER, pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XXVIII, announced his 
intention 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 Senate amendment to 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, 
to insist on a provision that requires a regulatory impact analysis and 
unfunded mandate estimate for each bill or joint resolution reported by 
any committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate, or 
considered on the floor of either House, and for every Federal 
department or executive branch agency regulatory action.

Para. 114.20  rhinoceros and tigers conservation programs

  On motion of Mr. STUDDS, by unanimous consent, the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union was discharged from further 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 4924) to assist in the conservation of 
rhinoceros and tigers by supporting and providing financial resources 
for the conservation programs of nations whose activities directly or 
indirectly affect rhinoceros and tiger populations, and of the CITES 
Secretariat.
  When said bill was considered and read twice.
  The following amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by 
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, was then agreed to:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Rhinoceros and Tiger 
     Conservation Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The world's rhinoceros population is declining at an 
     alarming rate, a 90 percent decline since 1970.
       (2) All 5 subspecies of tiger are currently threatened with 
     extinction in the wild, with approximately 5,000 to 6,000 
     tigers remaining worldwide.
       (3) All rhinoceros species have been listed on Appendix I 
     of CITES since 1977.
       (4) All tiger subspecies have been listed on Appendix I of 
     CITES since 1987.
       (5) The tiger and all rhinoceros species, except the 
     southern subspecies of white rhinoceros, are listed as 
     endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
     (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
       (6) In 1987, the parties to CITES adopted a resolution that 
     urged all parties to establish a moratorium on the sale and 
     trade in rhinoceros products (other than legally taken 
     trophies), to destroy government stockpiles of rhinoceros 
     horn, and to exert pressure on countries continuing to allow 
     trade in rhinoceros products.
       (7) On September 7, 1993, under section 8 of the 
     Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1978) the 
     Secretary certified that the People's Republic of China and 
     Taiwan were engaged in trade of rhinoceros parts and tiger 
     parts that diminished the effectiveness of an international 
     conservation program for that endangered species.
       (8) On September 9, 1993, the Standing Committee of CITES, 
     in debating the continuing problem of trade in rhinoceros 
     horn and tiger parts, adopted a resolution urging parties to 
     CITES to implement stricter domestic measures, up to and 
     including an immediate prohibition in trade in wildlife 
     species.
       (9) On November 8, 1993, under section 8 of the Fisherman's 
     Protection Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1978), the President 
     announced that the United States would impose trade sanctions 
     against China and Taiwan unless substantial progress was made 
     by March 1994 towards ending trade in rhinoceros and tiger 
     products.
       (10) On April 11, 1994, under section 8 of the Fisherman's 
     Protective Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1978), the President--
       (A) directed that imports of wildlife specimens and 
     products from Taiwan be prohibited, in response to Taiwan's 
     failure to undertake sufficient actions to stop illegal 
     rhinoceros and tiger trade; and
       (B) indicated that the certification of China would remain 
     in effect and directed that additional monitoring of China's 
     progress be undertaken.

     SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this Act are the following:
       (1) To assist in the conservation of rhinoceros and tigers 
     by supporting the conservation programs of nations whose 
     activities directly or indirectly affect rhinoceros and tiger 
     populations, and the CITES Secretariat.
       (2) To provide financial resources for those programs.

Para. 114.27  message from the president--gatt

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  I am pleased to transmit legislation and a number of related documents 
to implement agreements resulting from the General Agreement on Tariffs 
and Trade (GATT) Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations. The 
Uruguay Round Agreements are the broadest, most comprehensive trade 
agreements in history. They are vital to our national interest and to 
economic growth, job creation, and an improved standard of living for 
all Americans.
  When fully implemented, the Uruguay Round Ageements will add $100-$200 
billion to the U.S. economy each year and create hundreds of thousands 
of new, well-paying American jobs. They provide for a reduction in 
worldwide tariffs of $744 billion, the largest global tax cut in 
history.
  The United States will be the biggest winner from the Uruguay Round 
Agreements. We are the world's largest trading nation with the world's 
most dynamic economy. In 1993, the United States exported $660 billion 
in goods and services, accounting for more than 10 percent of the U.S. 
GDP.
  These agreements are the result of bipartisan cooperation and reflect 
the consensus supporting market-opening trade policies that the United 
States has enjoyed for decades. The Uruguay Round was launched by 
President Reagan, continued by President Bush, and concluded by this 
Administration. Each Administration consulted with the Congress and 
welcomed congressional participation and guidance throughout the 
negotiations. Similarly, this Administration has worked closely with the 
Congress to ensure that the implementing legislation that I am now 
forwarding enjoys broad bipartisan support.
  The United States has led the world on a path of open markets, freer 
trade, and economic growth. Now we must lead the way in implementing 
these agreements. The leaders of every major industrialized nation have 
pledged to take action so that the Uruguay Round Agreements can be 
implemented by January 1, 1995. Any delay on our part would send a 
negative signal to our trading partners at a time when their economies 
are just beginning to recover.
  Our economic recovery is now fully underway. As the economies in 
Europe and Japan begin again to grow, we must be positioned to reap the 
benefits of their expansion. As a result of the Uruguay Round 
Agreements, our major trading partners in Europe and Asia will cut their 
tariffs to historic lows.
  The Asian Pacific economies are the fastest growing economies in the 
world and are currently the largest market for U.S. exports. United 
States exports to Latin America, the second fastest growing region in 
the world, have grown 60 percent since 1989. The Uruguay Round 
Agreements will ensure that these fast-growing markets will be open to 
international competition and that all of our trading partners will play 
by international trading rules.
  The Uruguay Round Agreements enjoy very broad and deep support in the 
United States. Forty of our Nation's governors, numerous eminent 
economists, and the vast majority of U.S. industrial, agricultural, and 
services firms support the agreements, as do an array of former 
Presidents, Secretaries of State, Secretaries of the Treasury, and U.S. 
Trade Representatives.
  Americans are at their best when they face the challenges of their 
time. Our predecessors did so after World War II when they created a new 
international trading system that guided global growth for 50 years. Now 
we must do the same to foster sustained prosperity for the decades to 
come.
  The end of the Cold War and the rise of the global economy have 
created new challenges and new opportunities. Implementation of the 
Uruguay Round Agreements will ensure that we rise to the challenges of 
this new era and lead the world on a path of prosperity.

     area (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget and 
     as listed by the Office of Management and Budget as of the 
     date of enactment of this section) which contains two 
     contiguous major cities each of which is in a different 
     State.
       ``(c) Authority of State To Restrict Out-of-State Municipal 
     Solid Waste.--
       ``(1) Limitations on amount of waste received.--
       ``(A) Limit for all facilities in the state.--A State may 
     limit the amount of out-of-State municipal solid waste 
     received annually for disposal at each landfill or 
     incinerator in the State to the limitation amount described 
     in paragraph (2), except as provided in this subsection. No 
     such limit may conflict--
       ``(i) with provisions of a permit specifically authorizing 
     the owner or operator to accept, at the facility, out-of-
     State municipal solid waste, or
       ``(ii) with a host community agreement entered into between 
     the owner or operator of any such landfill or incinerator and 
     the affected local government.
       ``(B) Conflict.--A limit referred to in subparagraph (A) 
     shall be treated as conflicting with a permit or host 
     community agreement if--
       ``(i) the permit or host community agreement establishes a 
     higher limit, or
       ``(ii) the permit or host community agreement does not 
     establish any limit,
     on the amount of out-of-State municipal solid waste which may 
     be received annually at the facility.
       ``(C) Limit for particular facilities.--At the request of 
     an affected local government that has not executed a host 
     community agreement, the State may limit the amount of out-
     of-State municipal solid waste received annually for disposal 
     at the landfill or incinerator concerned to the limitation 
     amount described in paragraph (2). No such limit may conflict 
     with provisions of a permit specifically authorizing the 
     owner or operator to accept, at the facility, out-of-State 
     municipal solid waste.
       ``(D) Effect on other laws.--Nothing in this subsection 
     shall be interpreted or construed to have any effect on any 
     State law relating to contracts.
       ``(2) Limitation amount.--For any landfill or incinerator 
     that commenced receiving documented out-of-State municipal 
     solid waste before the date of enactment of this section, the 
     limitation amount referred to in paragraph (1) for any year 
     shall be equal to the amount of out-of-State municipal solid 
     waste received for disposal at the landfill or incinerator 
     concerned during calendar year 1993. The documentation 
     referred to in this subparagraph shall be such as would 
     result in criminal penalties in case of false or misleading 
     information. Such documentation shall include the amount of 
     waste received, place of origin, including the identity of 
     the generator, date of shipment, and type of waste.
       ``(3) Other limitation amount.--(A) Except as provided in 
     subparagraph (B), the limitation amount referred to in 
     paragraph (1) shall be zero for a landfill or incinerator 
     authorized to receive out-of-State municipal solid waste 
     solely by reason of receipt in calendar year 1993 of 
     municipal solid waste that was not received under contract or 
     otherwise authorized under this section.
       ``(B) The limitation amount of zero referred to in 
     subparagraph (A) shall not be applicable to receipt of any 
     out-of-State municipal solid waste by the landfill or 
     incinerator if the owner or operator, on the date of 
     enactment of this section, owned the land on which the 
     facility that received such waste is located.
       ``(4) No discrimination.--In establishing a limitation 
     under this subsection, a State shall act in a consistent 
     manner that does not discriminate against any shipments of 
     out-of-State municipal solid waste on the basis of State of 
     origin.
       ``(5) Additional limit for municipal waste.--(A) Any State 
     (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as an `importing 
     State') that imported more than 750,000 tons of out-of-State 
     municipal solid waste in 1993 may establish a limit under 
     this paragraph on the amount of out-of-State municipal solid 
     waste received pursuant to the authority of subsection 
     (b)(1)(A)(ii) for disposal at landfills and incinerators in 
     the importing State. A limit under this paragraph shall be in 
     addition to, or in lieu of, any other limit imposed under 
     this subsection. A limit under this paragraph may be imposed 
     only if each of the following requirements are met:
       ``(i) The limit shall not conflict (within the meaning of 
     paragraph (1)(B)) with any permit or host community agreement 
     authorizing the receipt of out-of-State municipal solid 
     waste.
       ``(ii) The importing State shall notify the Governor of the 
     exporting State or States of the proposed limit at least 12 
     months before imposition of the limit.
       ``(iii) The importing State shall notify the Governor of 
     the exporting State or States of the proposed limit at least 
     90 days before enforcement of the limit.
       ``(iv) The percentage reduction in the amount of out-of-
     State municipal solid waste which is received at each 
     facility in the importing State at which a limit may be 
     established under this paragraph shall be uniform for all 
     such facilities.
       ``(B) The limit established under this paragraph shall be a 
     percentage of the amount of out-of-State municipal solid 
     waste generated in the exporting State during calendar year 
     1993 and received at facilities in the importing State in 
     which a limit is established under this paragraph. For any 
     calendar year after 1994, the percentage shall be as 
     specified in the following table:

                                                             Applicable
``Calendar year:                                            Percentage:
  1996........................................................85   ....

  1997........................................................75   ....

  1998........................................................65   ....

  1999........................................................55   ....

  after 1999..................................................50.  ....

       ``(d) Needs Determination.--Any comprehensive solid waste 
     management plan approved under Federal or State law and any 
     implementation of such plan through the State permitting 
     process may take into account local and regional needs for 
     solid waste disposal capacity. An affected local government 
     may make a determination that there is no local or regional 
     need for a new landfill or incinerator or major modification 
     to an existing facility in the area under the jurisdiction of 
     the affected local government. Such determination shall be 
     based on a finding that the proposed facility does not have a 
     host community agreement or is inconsistent with the capacity 
     needs established in the comprehensive solid waste management 
     plan adopted by the affected local government pursuant to 
     State law. No comprehensive solid waste management plan may 
     expressly prohibit the importation of municipal solid waste 
     from out of State.
       ``(e) Implementation and Enforcement.--Any State may adopt 
     such laws and regulations, not inconsistent with this 
     section, as are necessary to implement and enforce this 
     section, including provisions for penalties.
       ``(f) Effect on Interstate Commerce.--No State limitation 
     established as provided in subsection (c), no State planning 
     and permitting process referred to in subsection (d), and no 
     State law or regulation referred to in subsection (e) shall 
     be considered to impose an undue burden on interstate 
     commerce or to otherwise impair, restrain, or discriminate 
     against interstate commerce.
       ``(g) Annual State Report.--Each year the owner or operator 
     of each landfill or incinerator receiving out-of-State 
     municipal solid waste shall submit to the Governor of the 
     State in which the landfill or incinerator is located 
     information specifying the amount of out-of-State municipal 
     solid waste received for disposal during the preceding year. 
     Each year each such State shall publish and make available to 
     the public, a report containing information on the amount of 
     out-of-State municipal solid waste received for disposal in 
     the State during the preceding year.
       ``(h) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
       ``(1) Affected local government.--(A) For any landfill or 
     incinerator, the term `affected local government' shall 
     mean--
       ``(i) the public body authorized by State law to plan for 
     the management of municipal solid waste, a majority of the 
     members of which are elected officials, for the area in which 
     the landfill or incinerator is located or proposed to be 
     located, or
       ``(ii) if there is no such body created by State law, the 
     elected officials of the city, town, township, borough, 
     county, or parish exercising primary responsibility for the 
     use of land on which the facility is located or proposed to 
     be located,
     except that for purposes of host community agreements entered 
     into before the date of

[[Page 2048]]

     enactment of this section, the term shall mean either the 
     public body described in subparagraph (A) or the elected 
     officials of the city, town, township, borough, county, or 
     parish exercising primary responsibility for the use of land 
     on which the facility is located or proposed to be located. 
     No host community agreement that is entered into by the 
     elected officials described in clause (ii) may be overturned 
     by an act of a public body described in clause (i) of such 
     body is created by State law after the execution of such host 
     community agreement.
       ``(B) Two or more Governors of adjoining States may use the 
     authority provided in section 1005(b) to enter into an 
     agreement under which contiguous units of local government 
     located in each of the adjoining States may act jointly as 
     the affected local government for purposes of providing 
     authorization under subsection (a) for municipal solid waste 
     generated in one of such counties and received for disposal 
     or incineration in another.
       ``(2) Host community agreement.--The term `host community 
     agreement' means a written, legally binding agreement, 
     lawfully entered into between an owner or operator of a 
     landfill or incinerator and an affected local government that 
     specifically authorizes the landfill or incinerator to 
     receive out-of-State municipal solid waste.
       ``(3) Municipal solid waste.--The term `municipal solid 
     waste' means all waste materials discarded for disposal by 
     households, including single and multifamily residences, and 
     hotels and motels. The term also includes waste materials 
     generated by commercial, institutional, and industrial 
     sources, to the extent such wastes are essentially the same 
     as waste normally generated by households or were collected 
     and disposed of with other municipal solid waste as part of 
     normal municipal solid waste collection services, and 
     regardless of when generated, would be considered 
     conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste under 
     section 3001(d). Examples of municipal solid waste include 
     food and yard waste, paper, clothing, appliances, consumer 
     product packaging, disposable diapers, office supplies, 
     cosmetics, glass and metal food containers, elementary or 
     secondary school science laboratory waste, and household 
     hazardous waste. Such term shall include debris resulting 
     from construction, remodeling, repair, or demolition of 
     structures other than debris that is not otherwise commingled 
     with other municipal solid waste and has been determined by 
     the generator, to be contaminated. For purposes of 
     determining whether any such debris is contaminated, the 
     generator shall conduct representative sampling and analysis 
     of such debris, the results of which shall be submitted to 
     the affected local government for record keeping purposes 
     only, unless not required by the affected local government. 
     Any such debris that has been determined to be contaminated 
     shall be disposed of in a landfill that meets, at a minimum, 
     the requirements of this subtitle. The term does not include 
     any of the following:
       ``(A) Any solid waste identified or listed as a hazardous 
     waste under section 3001.
       ``(B) Any solid waste, including contaminated soil and 
     debris, resulting from--
       ``(i) a response action taken under section 104 or 106 of 
     the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
     Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9604 or 9606),
       ``(ii) a response action taken under a State law with 
     authorities comparable to the authorities of section 104 or 
     106, or
       ``(iii) a corrective action taken under this Act.
       ``(C) Recyclable materials that have been separated, at the 
     source of the waste, from waste otherwise destined for 
     disposal or that have been managed separately from waste 
     destined for disposal.
       ``(D) Materials and products returned from a dispenser or 
     distributor to the manufacturer or an agent of the 
     manufacturer for credit, evaluation, and possible reuse.
       ``(E) Any solid waste that is--
       ``(i) generated by an industrial facility; and
       ``(ii) transported for the purpose of treatment, storage, 
     or disposal to a facility that is owned or operated by the 
     generator of the waste, or is located on property owned by 
     the generator of a company with which the generator is 
     affiliated.
       ``(F) Any medical waste that is segregated from or not 
     mixed with solid waste.
       ``(G) Sewage sludge and residuals from any sewage treatment 
     plant, including any sewage treatment plant required to be 
     constructed in the State of Massachusetts pursuant to any 
     court order issued against the Massachusetts Water Resources 
     Authority.
       ``(H) Combustion ash generated by resource recovery 
     facilities or municipal incinerators, or waste from 
     manufacturing or processing (including pollution control) 
     operations not essentially the same as waste normally 
     generated by households.
       ``(4) Out-of-state municipal solid waste.--The term `out-
     of-State municipal solid waste', means, with respect to any 
     State, municipal solid waste generated outside of the State. 
     The term includes municipal solid waste generated outside of 
     the United States.
       ``(5) Specific authorization.--For purposes of this 
     section, the term `specifically authorizes' refers to an 
     explicit authorization, contained in a host community 
     agreement or permit, to import waste from outside the State. 
     Such authorization may include a reference to a fixed radius 
     surrounding the landfill or incinerator which includes an 
     area outside the State or a reference to `any place of 
     origin', reference to specific places outside the State, or 
     use of such phrases as `regardless of origin' or `outside the 
     State'. The language for such authorization may vary as long 
     as it clearly and affirmatively states the approval or 
     consent of the affected local government or State for receipt 
     of municipal solid waste from sources or locations outside 
     the State from which the owner or operator of a landfill or 
     incinerator proposes to import it. The authorization shall 
     not include general references to the receipt of waste 
     outside the jurisdiction of the affected local government.
       ``(i) Cost Recovery Surcharge.--
       ``(1) Authority.--A State may impose and collect a cost 
     recovery surcharge on the combustion or disposal in a 
     landfill or incinerator of out-of-State municipal solid waste 
     in such State.
       ``(2) Limitation.--During the period beginning on the date 
     of the enactment of this section and ending on December 31, 
     1996, a State may not impose or collect a cost recovery 
     surcharge from a facility on any out-of-State municipal solid 
     waste that meets both of the following conditions:
       ``(A) The waste is being received at the facility under one 
     or more contracts entered into before the date of the 
     enactment of this section.
       ``(B) The amount of waste being received in a calendar year 
     under the contract or contracts does not exceed the amount of 
     waste received at the facility during calendar year 1993.
       ``(3) Amount of surcharge.--The amount of the cost recovery 
     surcharge may be no greater than the amount necessary to 
     recover those costs determined in conformance with paragraph 
     (5) and in no event may exceed $2 per ton of waste.
       ``(4) Use of surcharge collected.--All cost recovery 
     surcharges collected by a State shall be used to fund those 
     solid waste management programs administered by the State or 
     its political subdivisions that incur costs for which the 
     surcharge is collected.
       ``(5) Conditions.--(A) Subject to subparagraphs (B) and 
     (C), a State may impose and collect a cost recovery surcharge 
     on the combustion or disposal within the State of out-of-
     State municipal solid waste if--
       ``(i) the State demonstrates a cost to the State arising 
     from the combustion or disposal within the State of a volume 
     of municipal solid waste from a source outside the State;
       ``(ii) the surcharge is based on those costs to the State 
     demonstrated under subparagraph (A) that, if not paid for 
     through the surcharge, would otherwise have to be paid or 
     subsidized by the State; and
       ``(iii) the surcharge is compensatory and is not 
     discriminatory.
       ``(B) In no event shall a cost recovery surcharge be 
     imposed by a State to the extent that the cost for which 
     recovery is sought is otherwise recovered by any other fee or 
     tax assessed against the generation, transportation, 
     treatment, combustion, or disposal of solid waste.
       ``(C) The grant of a subsidy by a State with respect to 
     entities disposing of waste generated within the State does 
     not constitute discrimination for purposes of subparagraph 
     (A)(iii).
       ``(6) Burden of proof.--In any proceeding in which a State 
     invokes this subsection to justify a cost recovery surcharge 
     on the combustion or disposal within the State of out-of-
     State municipal solid waste, the State shall bear the burden 
     of establishing that the cost recovery surcharge satisfies 
     the conditions set forth in paragraph (5).''.
       (b) Table of Contents Amendment.--The table of contents of 
     the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. prec. 6901) is 
     amended by adding after the item relating to section 4010 the 
     following new item:

``Sec. 4011. Interstate transportation and disposal of municipal solid 
              waste.''.

  The bill, as amended, was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read a third time by title.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House pass said bill?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. DeFAZIO, announced that the yeas had it.

       Strike section 202 of the bill (page 14, line 9 through 
     line 10, page 18) and insert the following new section:

     SEC. 202. COLLOCATION OF AGENCY OFFICES.

       (a) Collocation of Offices.--
       (1) Collocation.--As provided in section 104 regarding 
     Department field offices, the Secretary shall collocate, as 
     soon as practicable and to the maximum extent consistent with 
     efficiency and effectiveness, the offices of the Department 
     located at county, regional, and State levels, which carry 
     out the functions, duties, and programs of the following 
     existing agencies:
       (A) the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service;
       (B) the Soil Conservation Service;
       (C) the Farmers Home Administration and the Rural 
     Development Administration;
       (D) the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation; and
       (E) such other agencies as the Secretary determines 
     appropriate upon subsequent notice to the Congress of such 
     actions.
       (2) Economy of operation.--The Secretary shall implement 
     and maintain the collocation of the agencies and entities as 
     effected by this subsection by reducing to the maximum extent 
     administrative and overhead costs, by reducing the cost of 
     agency personnel, equipment, computer, and telecommunications 
     services through the sharing of their use and utilization, 
     and by otherwise reducing duplication and utilizing other 
     management and personnel improvement practices that will 
     provide the efficiency and effectiveness of the individual 
     and collective agencies that are collocated.
       (3) Prohibition.--The Secretary shall not establish any 
     agency, nor shall any agency be given authority, that would 
     have single supervisory authority over the individual 
     entities or their successors to be collocated as provided for 
     in this subsection.
       (b) Jurisdiction Over Conservation Program Appeals.--
       (1) In general.--Until such time as an adverse decision 
     described in this paragraph is referred to the National 
     Appeals Division for consideration, the Agriculture 
     Stabilization and Conservation Service shall have initial 
     jurisdiction over any administrative appeal resulting from an 
     adverse decision made under title XII of the Food Security 
     Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.), including an adverse 
     decision involving technical determinations made by the Soil 
     Conservation Service. The Agriculture Stabilization and 
     Conservation Service may reverse an adverse decision of the 
     Soil Conservation Service if the Agriculture Stabilization 
     and Conservation Service finds that such decision was 
     arbitrary and capricious.
       (2) Treatment of technical determination.--With respect to 
     administrative appeals involving a technical determination 
     made by the Soil Conservation Service, the Agriculture 
     Stabilization and Conservation Service, by rule with the

Para. 116.9  further message from the senate

  A further message from the Senate by Mr. Hallen, one of its clerks, 
announced that the Senate agreed to the report of the committee of 
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendments 
of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 4556), ``An Act making appropriations 
for the Department of Transportation and related agencies for the fiscal 
year ending September 30, 1995, and for other purposes.

Para. 116.10  waiving points of order against the conference report on s. 
          349

  Mr. FROST, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 550):

       Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be 
     in order to consider the conference report to accompany the 
     bill (S. 349) to provide for the disclosure of lobbying 
     activities to influence the Federal Govern- 

[[Page 2071]]

     ment, and for other purposes. All points of order against the 
     conference report and against its consideration are waived 
     except for the provisions of clause 2 of rule XXVIII (the 
     three-day availability requirement for conference reports). 
     The conference report shall be considered as read.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,

Para. 116.11  words taken down

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

       You have misquoted me pretty grossly, Mr. Oxley. You are 
     one of the Members for whom I have a great deal of respect 
     and admire very much in this institution, but I find it very 
     hard to understand why you would simply not come forward and 
     say, as those of you who are speaking on that side, or 
     thinking--We want to play free golf, we want free meals. You 
     are not concerned about charity, you are not concerned about 
     congressional baseball, you are just concerned about more 
     freebies, and this bill says no to the freebies-seeking 
     Members of Congress, who I regret to say are a small minority 
     of this House, yet you create a bad impression for the rest 
     of us. This bill says no.

  On motion of Mr. BRYANT, by unanimous consent, the words were 
withdrawn.
  By unanimous consent, the SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. MEEK, recognized 
Mr. BRYANT to proceed in order.
  After further debate,

Para. 116.12  call of the house

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. MEEK, recognized Mr. DREIER to move a 
call of the House.
  On motion of Mr. DREIER, a call of the House was ordered.
  The call was taken by electronic device, and the following-named 
Members responded--

Para. 116.15  lobbying disclosure

  Mr. BRYANT, pursuant to House Resolution 550, called up the following 
conference report (Rept. No. 103-750):

       The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the 
     two Houses on the amendment of the House to the bill (S. 
     349), to provide for the disclosure of lobbying activities to 
     influence the Federal Government, and for other purposes, 
     having met, after full and free conference, have agreed to 
     recommend and do recommend to their respective Houses as 
     follows:
       That the Senate recede from its disagreement to the 
     amendment of the House and agree to the same with an 
     amendment as follows:
       In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the House 
     amendments, insert the following:
                      TITLE I--LOBBYING DISCLOSURE

     SECTION 101. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Lobbying Disclosure Act of 
     1994''.

     SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) responsible representative Government requires public 
     awareness of the efforts of paid lobbyists to influence the 
     public decision making process in both the legislative and 
     executive branches of the Federal Government;
       (2) existing lobbying disclosure statutes have been 
     ineffective because of unclear statutory language, weak 
     administrative and enforcement provisions, and an absence of 
     clear guidance as to who is required to register and what 
     they are required to disclose; and
       (3) the effective public disclosure of the identity and 
     extent of the efforts of paid lobbyists to influence Federal 
     officials in the conduct of Government actions will increase 
     public confidence in the integrity of Government.

     SEC. 103. DEFINITIONS.

       As used in this title:
       (1) Agency.--The term ``agency'' has the meaning given that 
     term in section 551(1) of title 5, United States Code.
       (2) Client.--The term ``client'' means any person or entity 
     that employs or retains another person for financial or other 
     compensation to conduct lobbying activities on behalf of that 
     person or entity. A person or entity whose employees act as 
     lobbyists on its own behalf is both a client and an employer 
     of such employees. In the case of a coalition or association 
     that employs or retains other persons to conduct lobbying 
     activities, the client is--
       (A) the coalition or association and not its individual 
     members when the lobbying activities are conducted on behalf 
     of its membership and financed by the coalition's or 
     association's dues and assessments; or
       (B) an individual member or members, when the lobbying 
     activities are conducted on behalf of, and financed 
     separately by, 1 or more individual members and not by the 
     coalition's or association's dues and assessments.
       (3) Covered executive branch official.--The term ``covered 
     executive branch official'' means--
       (A) the President;
       (B) the Vice President;
       (C) any officer or employee, or any other individual 
     functioning in the capacity of such an officer or employee, 
     in the Executive Office of the President;
       (D) any officer or employee serving in a position in level 
     I, II, III, IV, or V of the Executive Schedule, as designated 
     by statute or executive order;

     SEC. 108. INITIAL PROCEDURE FOR ALLEGED VIOLATIONS.

       (a) Allegation of a Violation.--Whenever the Office of 
     Lobbying Registration and Public Disclosure has reason to 
     believe that a person or entity may be in violation of the 
     requirements of this title, the Director shall notify the 
     person or entity in writing of the nature of the alleged 
     violation and provide an opportunity for the person or entity 
     to respond in writing to the allegation within 30 days after 
     the notification is sent or such longer period as the 
     Director may determine appropriate in the circumstances.
       (b) Initial Determination.--
       (1) In general.--If the person or entity responds within 
     the period described in the notification under subsection 
     (a), the Director shall--
       (A) issue a written determination that the person or entity 
     has not violated this title if the person or entity provides 
     adequate information or explanation to make such 
     determination; or
       (B) make a formal request for information under subsection 
     (c) or a notification under section 109(a), if the 
     information or explanation provided is not adequate to make a 
     determination under subparagraph (A).
       (2) Written decision.--If the Director makes a 
     determination under paragraph (1)(A), the Director shall 
     issue a public written decision in accordance with section 
     110.
       (c) Formal Request for Information.--If a person or entity 
     fails to respond in writing within the period described in 
     the notification under subsection (a) or the response is not 
     adequate to determine whether such person or entity has 
     violated this title, the Director may make a formal request 
     for specific additional written information (subject to 
     applicable privileges) that is reasonably necessary for the 
     Director to make such determination. Each such request shall 
     be structured to minimize any burden imposed, consistent with 
     the need to determine whether the person or entity is in 
     compliance with this title, and shall--
       (1) state the nature of the conduct constituting the 
     alleged violation which is the basis for the inquiry and the 
     provision of law applicable thereto;
       (2) describe the class or classes of material to be 
     produced pursuant to the request with such definiteness and 
     certainty as to permit such material to be readily 
     identified; and
       (3) prescribe a return date or dates which provide a 
     reasonable period of time within which the person or entity 
     may assemble and make available for inspection and copying or 
     reproduction the material so requested.

     SEC. 109. DETERMINATIONS OF VIOLATIONS.

       (a) Notification and Hearing.--If the information provided 
     to the Director under section 108 indicates that a person or 
     entity may have violated this title, the Director shall--
       (1) notify the person or entity in writing of this finding 
     and, if appropriate, a proposed penalty assessment and 
     provide such person or entity with an opportunity to respond 
     in writing within 30 days after the notice is sent; and
       (2) if requested in writing by that person or entity within 
     that 30-day period, afford the person or entity an 
     opportunity for a hearing on the record under the provisions 
     of section 554 of title 5, United States Code.
       (b) Determination.--Upon the receipt of a written response 
     under subsection (a)(1) when no hearing under subsection 
     (a)(2) is requested, upon the completion of a hearing 
     requested under subsection (a)(2), or upon the expiration of 
     30 days in a case in which no such written response is 
     received, the Director shall review the information received 
     under section 108 and this section (including evidence 
     presented at any such hearing) and make a final determination 
     whether there was a violation and a final determination of 
     the penalty, if any. If no written response was received 
     under this section within the 30-day period provided, the 
     determination and penalty assessment shall constitute a final 
     order not subject to appeal.
       (c) Written Decision.--
       (1) Determination of violation.--If the Director makes a 
     final determination under subsection (b) that there was a 
     violation, the Director shall issue a written decision in 
     accordance with section 110--
       (A) directing the person or entity to correct the 
     violation; and
       (B) assessing a civil monetary penalty--
       (i) in the case of a minor violation, which shall be no 
     more than $10,000, depending on the extent and gravity of the 
     violation;
       (ii) in the case of a major violation, which shall be more 
     than $10,000, but no more than $200,000, depending on the 
     extent and gravity of the violation;
       (iii) in the case of a late registration or filing, which 
     shall be $200 for each week by which the registration or 
     filing was late, unless the Director determines that the 
     failure to timely register or file constitutes a major 
     violation (as defined under subsection (e)(2)) in which case 
     the amount shall be as prescribed by clause (ii); or
       (iv) in the case of a failure to provide information 
     requested by the Director pursuant to section 108(c), which 
     shall be no more than $10,000, depending on the extent and 
     gravity of the violation, except that no penalty shall be 
     assessed if the Director determines that the violation was 
     the result of a good faith dispute over the validity or 
     appropriate scope of a request for information.
       (2) Determination of no violation or insufficient 
     evidence.--If the Director determines that no violation 
     occurred or there was not sufficient evidence that a 
     violation occurred, the Director shall issue a written 
     decision in accordance with section 110.
       (d) Civil Injunctive Relief.--If a person or entity fails 
     to comply with a directive to correct a violation under 
     subsection (c), the Director shall refer the case to the 
     Attorney General to seek civil injunctive relief in the 
     appropriate court of the United States to compel such person 
     or entity to comply with such directive.
       (e) Penalty Assessments.--
       (1) General rule.--No penalty shall be assessed under this 
     section unless the Director finds that the person or entity 
     subject to the penalty knew or should have known that such 
     person or entity was in violation of this title. In 
     determining the amount of a penalty to be assessed, the 
     Director shall take into account the totality of the 
     circumstances, including the extent and gravity of the 
     violation, whether the violation was voluntarily admitted and 
     corrected, the extent to which the person or entity may have 
     profited from the violation, the ability of the person or 
     entity to pay, and such other matters as justice may require.
       (2) Regulations.--Regulations prescribed by the Director 
     under section 107 shall define major and minor violations. 
     Major violations shall be defined to include a failure to 
     register and any other violation that is extensive or 
     repeated, if the person or entity who failed to register or 
     committed such other violation--
       (A) had actual knowledge that the conduct constituted a 
     violation;
       (B) acted in deliberate ignorance of the provisions of this 
     title or regulations related to the conduct constituting a 
     violation; or
       (C) acted in reckless disregard of the provisions of this 
     title or regulations related to the conduct constituting a 
     violation.
       (f) Limitation.--No proceeding shall be initiated under 
     section 108 or this section unless the Director notifies the 
     person or en- 

[[Page 2077]]

     tity who is to be the subject of the proceeding of the 
     alleged violation within 3 years after the date on which the 
     alleged violation occurred.

     SEC. 110. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION; WRITTEN DECISIONS.

       (a) Disclosure of Information.--Information provided to the 
     Director pursuant to sections 108 and 109 shall not be made 
     available to the public without the consent of the person or 
     entity providing the information, except to the extent that

     written decision issued by the Director under section 109 may 
     appeal such decision, except as provided under section

     Such review may be obtained by filing a written notice of 
     appeal in such court no later than 60 days after the date on 
     which the Director provides notice of the Director's decision 
     and by simultaneously sending a copy of such notice of appeal 
     to the Director. The Director shall file in such court the 
     record upon which the decision was issued, as provided under 
     section 2112 of title 28, United States Code. The findings of 
     fact of the Director shall be conclusive, unless found to be 
     unsupported by substantial evidence, as provided under 
     section 706(2)(E) of title 5, United States Code. Any penalty 
     assessed or other action taken in the decision shall be 
     stayed during the pendency of the appeal.

     decision which has become final under this title may be

     in an appropriate United States district court. In any such 
     action, no matter that was raised or that could have been 
     raised before the Director or pursuant to judicial review 
     under subsection (b) may be raised as a defense, and the 
     determination of liability and the determination of amounts 
     of penalties and assessments shall not be subject to review.

  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 116.16  point of order

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

  ``Madam Speaker, I make a point of order that the motion to recommit 
offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Gekas] is not in order, 
in that it instructs the conferees to carry out instructions which 
exceed the scope of the matters committed to conference. Specifically, 
the motion to recommit contains language which expands the definition 
of lobbyists and expands the definition of covered executive branch 
officials.
  ``Both of these expanded definitions exceed the scope of the matters 
committed to conference. Therefore, Madam Speaker, I insist on the 
point of order.''.

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

  ``Madam Speaker, I believe that the motion to recommit is in order. 
The important feature of the motion to recommit has to do with campaign 
contributions in which we feel that, as we argued in the well of the 
House, the big gift that we should be banning is campaign contributions 
by lobbyists, not just sandwiches.''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. PELOSI, sustained the point of order, and 
said:

  ``The gentleman from Texas makes a point of order against the motion 
to recommit offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  ``As discussed in section 26.12, chapter 33 of Procedure in the U.S. 
House of Representatives, a motion to recommit a conference report may 
not instruct House conferees to include matter beyond the scope of 
differences committed to conference by either House.
  ``The motion offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania includes 
several instructions that violate this principle. For example, the 
motion instructs conferees to expand the definition of `lobbyist' as 
defined in both the Senate bill and House amendment to include not only 
persons who spend a certain period of time engaging in lobbying 
activities while serving a client but also those who spend more than a 
certain dollar amount within a fixed period to influence 
decisionmaking.
  ``Another example is found in the instruction that expands the 
definition of `covered executive branch official' as defined in both 
the Senate bill and House amendment to include a position in the 
executive branch that is classified at or above GS-14 of the General 
Schedule.
  ``The inclusion of even one of the above-described instructions 
provides the Chair with an adequate basis to find the entire motion out 
of order on the grounds the instructions exceed the scope of 
differences committed to conference. Accordingly, the point of order is 
sustained.''.
  Mr. GEKAS moved to recommit the conference report on S. 349 to the 
committee of conference with instructions for the managers on the part 
of the House to carry out the following:

       (1) In the proposed section 103--
       (C) strike out subparagraph (B) of paragraph (9),
       (2) Strike out paragraph (5) of section 104(b).
       (3) Strike out paragraph (6) of section 105(b).

  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the motion 
to recommit the conferencer report with instructions.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said motion?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. PELOSI, announced that the nays had it.
  Mr. GEKAS 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. 116.19  further message from the senate

  A further message from the Senate by Mr. Hallen, one of its clerks, 
announced that the Senate agreed to the report of the committee of 
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendments 
of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 4650) ``An Act making appropriations for 
the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, 
and for other purposes.''

Para. 116.20  providing for the consideration of h.r. 4683

  Mr. MOAKLEY, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 552):

       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. 4683) to amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to 
     provide congressional authorization of State control over 
     transportation of municipal solid waste, and for other 
     purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
     with. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall 
     not exceed on 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. At 
     the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the 
     Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with 
     such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may 
     demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted 
     in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute. The previous 
     question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
     amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
     motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
     instructions.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. MOAKLEY, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof, 
the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

Para. 116.21  solid waste disposal

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SKAGGS, pursuant to House Resolution 552 
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. 4683) to amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to provide 
congressional authorization of State control over transportation of 
municipal solid waste, and for other purposes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SKAGGS, by unanimous consent, designated 
Mrs. UNSOELD as Chairman of the Committee of the Whole; and after some 
time spent therein,

Para. 116.22  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 subsitute 
submitted by Mr. RICHARDSON:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Municipal Solid Waste Flow 
     Control Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION OF STATE CONTROL OVER 
                   MOVEMENT OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE AND 
                   RECYCLABLE MATERIALS.

       (A) Amendment.--Subtitle D of the Solid Waste Disposal Act 
     is amended by adding the following new section after section 
     4010:

     ``SEC. 4011. CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION OF STATE CONTROL 
                   OVER MOVEMENT OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE AND 
                   RECYCLABLE MATERIALS.

       ``(a) Authority.--Each State and each political subdivision 
     thereof is authorized to require the movement of municipal 
     solid waste generated, and recyclable material voluntarily 
     relinquished by its owner, within its jurisdiction to one or 
     more waste management facilities or recycling facilities if 
     such requirement--
       ``(1) is imposed pursuant to a law, ordinance, or other 
     official act of the State or political subdivision in effect 
     on May 15, 1994; and
       ``(2) has been implemented by designating before May 15, 
     1994, the particular management facilities in operation as of 
     May 15, 1994, to which the municipal solid waste and 
     recyclables must be moved.

     Such authorization shall include any political subdivision 
     that has in fact implemented such requirements prior to May 
     15, 1994, by requiring municipal solid waste to be sent to 
     particular waste management facilities, but for which the 
     legal authority for requiring such movement of municipal 
     solid waste does not require the designation of particular 
     facilities to receive such waste, or such legal authority 
     resides in a designated official of the political 
     subdivision. The authority of this section shall only extend 
     to the specific classes or categories of municipal solid 
     waste which were actually subject to a requirement of 
     movement to one or more waste management facilities on or 
     before May 15, 1994. With respect to each designated 
     facility, the authority of this section shall be effective 
     for the remaining life of a contract between the State or 
     political subdivision and any other person regarding the 
     movement or delivery of such waste or recyclable materials 
     (as in effect May 15, 1994), or until completion of the 
     schedule for payment of the capital costs of the facility 
     concerned (as in effect May 15, 1994), or for the remaining 
     useful life of the facility, whichever is longer.
       ``(b) Certain Redesignations of Facilities.--
     Notwithstanding the restrictions in subsection (a)(2), any 
     political subdivision of a State, which (1) required the 
     movement of municipal solid waste or recyclable materials 
     voluntarily relinquished by its owner to one or more waste 
     management facilities or recycling facilities prior to May 
     15, 1994; (2) declared its intent to redesignate the 
     facilities receiving such materials prior to May 15, 1994, 
     and (3) as of the date of enactment of this section is in the 
     process of redesignating the facilities receiving such 
     materials, shall be granted the authority in subsection (a).
       ``(c) Commitment to Construction.--Notwithstanding the 
     restrictions in subsection (a)(1) and (2), any political 
     subdivision of a State may be granted the authority in 
     subsection (a), if--
       ``(1) the law, ordinance, regulation, solid waste 
     management plan, or legally binding provision specifically 
     provides for the transportation or disposal of municipal 
     solid waste generated within its boundaries, was in effect 
     prior to May 15, 1994, and, in the case of a solid waste 
     management plan, has the approval of either the State or the 
     Administrator pursuant to this title, and
       ``(2) commits to the selection of one or more waste 
     management facilities for such method of transportation 
     facilities or disposal of municipal solid waste. Such a 
     commitment to one or more waste management facilities is 
     demonstrated by one or more of the following factors--
       ``(A) all required permits for the construction of such 
     facility were submitted prior to May 15, 1994,
       ``(B) contracts for the construction of such facility were 
     in effect prior to May 15, 1994,
       ``(C) revenue bonds were presented for sale to specifically 
     provide revenue for the construction of such facility prior 
     to May 15, 1994, or
       ``(D) the State or subdivision submitted to the appropriate 
     regulatory agency or agencies, on or before May 16, 1994, 
     administratively complete permit applications for the 
     construction and operation of the waste management facility.
       ``(d) Retained Authority.--Upon the request of any 
     generator of municipal solid waste affected by this section, 
     the State or political subdivision may authorize the 
     diversion of all or a portion of the solid wastes generated 
     by the generator making such request to a solid waste 
     facility, other than the facility or facilities originally 
     designated by the political subdivision, where the purpose of 
     such request is to provide a higher level of protection for 
     human health and the environment and reduce potential future 
     liability under Federal or State law of such generator for 
     the management of such wastes. Requests shall include 
     information on the environmental suitability of the proposed 
     alternative treatment or disposal facility and method, 
     compared to that of the designated facility and method. In 
     making such a determination the State or political 
     subdivision shall consider the ability and willingness of 
     both the designated and alternative disposal facility or 
     facilities to indemnify the generator against any cause of 
     action under State or Federal environmental statutes, and 
     against any cause of action for nuisance, personal injury or 
     property loss under any State law.
       ``(e) Flow Control Study.--The Administrator, in 
     cooperation with the National Academy of Public 
     Administration, shall conduct a study of the extent to which 
     the decision of the United States Supreme Court in C & A 
     Carbone v. Clarkstown, New York has affected the ability of 
     public and private agencies and entities to secure or retain 
     financing for solid waste management facilities or services. 
     Such study shall address whether such decision is likely to 
     interfere with the implementation of State solid waste 
     management plans, and whether such decision is likely to 
     reduce the increased use of recycling or composting. The 
     Administrator shall submit a report on such study to 
     Congress, together with recommendations

[[Page 2085]]

     for needed legislation, if any, not later than March 31, 
     1996.
       ``(f) Effect on Other Laws.--Nothing in this section shall 
     be interpreted or construed to have any effect on any other 
     law relating to the protection of human health and the 
     environment, or the management of municipal solid waste.
       ``(g) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section--
       ``(1) The term `municipal solid waste' means solid waste 
     generated by the general public and from residential, 
     commercial, institutional, and industrial sources, consisting 
     of paper, wood, yard waste, plastics, leather, rubber, and 
     other combustible materials and noncombustible materials such 
     as metal and glass, including residue remaining after 
     recyclable materials have been separated from waste destined 
     for disposal, and including septage, except that the term 
     does not include--
       ``(A) any waste identified or listed as a hazardous waste 
     under section 3001 of this Act or waste regulated under the 
     Toxic Substances and Control Act,
       ``(B) any waste, including contaminated soil and debris, 
     resulting from response taken under section 104 or 106 of the 
     Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
     Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9602 or 9606) or a 
     corrective action taken under this Act;
       ``(C) medical waste;
       ``(D) industrial waste;
       ``(E) recyclable materials; or
       ``(F) sludge.
       ``(2) The term `recyclable materials' means any materials 
     that have been separated from waste otherwise destined for 
     disposal (either at the source of the waste or at processing 
     facilities) or that have been managed separately from waste 
     destined for disposal, for the purpose of recycling, 
     composting or organic materials such as food and yard waste, 
     or reuse (other than for the purpose of incineration), only 
     to the extent that the generator or owner of the materials 
     has voluntarily made the materials available to the State or 
     qualified political subdivision, and relinquished any rights 
     to, or ownership of, such materials, and the State or 
     political subdivision assumes such rights to, or ownership of 
     such materials.
       ``(3) The term `waste management facility' means any 
     facility collecting, separating, storing, transporting, 
     transferring, treating, processing, or disposing of municipal 
     solid waste.''.
       ``(b) Table of Contents.--The table of contents for 
     subtitle D of the Solid Waste Disposal Act is amended by 
     adding the following new item after the item relating to 
     section 4010:

 ``Sec. 4011. Congressional authorization of State control over 
              movement of municipal solid waste and recyclable

     plan or legally binding provision that--
       ``(A) exercised flow control authority over such solid 
     waste with respect to a proposed or existing waste management 
     facility designated before May 15, 1994, or
       ``(B) identified the use of 1 or more waste management 
     methods that will be necessary for the transportation, 
     management, or disposal of municipal solid waste generated

[[Page 2086]]

     within its boundaries, and committed to the designation of 1 
     or more waste management facilities for that method or 
     methods.
       ``(3) Recyclable materials generated within the boundaries 
     of the State or subdivision.
     Any State or qualified political subdivision meeting the 
     requirements of subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (2) may 
     also, after the effective date of this section, direct, 
     limit, regulate or prohibit the transportation, management, 
     and disposal of such solid waste from any existing or future 
     waste management facility to any other existing or future 
     waste management facility, and may do so without regard to 
     subsection (b)(2).
       ``(b) Limitations.--(1) A State or qualified political 
     subdivision may exercise the authority described in paragraph 
     (3) of subsection (a) with respect to recyclable materials 
     only if--
       ``(A) the generator or owner of the materials voluntarily 
     made the materials available to the State or qualified 
     political subdivision, or the designee of the State or 
     qualified political subdivision, and relinquished any rights 
     to, or ownership of, such materials; and
       ``(B) the State or qualified political subdivision, or the 
     designee of the State or qualified political subdivision, 
     assumes such rights to, or ownership of, such materials.
       ``(2) A State or qualified political subdivision may 
     exercise the authority provided by subsection (a)(1) or 
     (a)(3) only if the State or qualified political subdivision--
       ``(A) before exercising the authority described in 
     subsection (a)(1), establishes a program to separate, or 
     divert at the point of generation, recyclable materials from 
     the municipal solid waste, for purposes of recycling, 
     reclamation, or reuse, in accordance with any Federal or 
     State law or municipal solid waste planning requirements in 
     effect; and
       ``(B) after conducting 1 or more public hearings--
       ``(i) finds, on the basis of the record developed at the 
     hearing or hearings that it is necessary to exercise the 
     authority to meet the current solid waste management needs 
     (as of the date of the record) or the anticipated solid waste 
     management needs of the State or qualified political 
     subdivision for management of municipal solid waste or 
     recyclable materials; and
       ``(ii) provides a written explanation of the reasons of the 
     finding described in clause (i).
       ``(3) The authority to direct, limit, regulate, or prohibit 
     the transportation, management, or disposal of solid waste 
     pursuant to subsection (a)(2) shall apply only to the 
     specific classes or categories of solid waste to which the 
     authority under subsection (a)(2)(A) was applied by the State 
     or qualified political subdivision before May 15, 1994, and/
     or to the specific classes or categories of solid waste for 
     which the State or qualified political subdivision committed 
     to designate a waste management facility under subsection 
     (a)(2)(B).
       ``(4) The authority granted under subsection (a)(2) shall 
     expire if a State or qualified political subdivision has not 
     designated, by law, ordinance, regulation, solid waste 
     management plan, or other legally binding provision, 1 or 
     more proposed or existing waste management facilities within 
     5 years of the date of enactment of this section.
       ``(c) Competitive Designation Process.--A State or 
     qualified political subdivision may exercise the authority 
     provided by subsection (a) only if the State or qualified 
     political subdivision develops and implements a competitive 
     designation process with respect to waste management 
     facilities or facilities for recyclable materials which--
       ``(1) ensures that the designation process is based on, or 
     is part of, a municipal solid waste management plan that is 
     adopted by the State or qualified political subdivision and 
     that is designed to ensure long-term management capacity for 
     municipal solid waste or recyclable materials generated 
     within the boundaries of the State or subdivision;
       ``(2) sets forth the goals of the designation process, 
     including at a minimum--
       ``(A) capacity assurance;
       ``(B) the establishment of provisions to provide that 
     protection of human health and the environment will be 
     achieved; and
       ``(C) any other goals determined to be relevant by the 
     State or qualified political subdivision;
       ``(3) identifies and compares reasonable and available 
     alternatives and options for designation of the facilities;
       ``(4) provides for public participation and comment;
       ``(5) ensures that the designation of the facilities is 
     accomplished through an open competitive process during which 
     the State or qualified political subdivision--
       ``(A) identifies in writing the criteria to be utilized for 
     selection of the facilities;
       ``(B) provides an opportunity for interested public persons 
     and private persons to offer their existing (as of the date 
     of the process) or proposed facilities for designation; and
       ``(C) evaluates and selects the facilities for designation 
     based on the merits of the facilities in meeting the criteria 
     identified; and
       ``(6) bases the designation of each such facility on 
     reasons that shall be stated in a public record.
       ``(d) Certification.--(1) A Governor of any State may 
     certify that the laws and regulations of the State in effect 
     on May 15, 1994, satisfy the requirements for a competitive 
     designation process under subsection (c).
       ``(2) In making a certification under paragraph (1), a 
     Governor shall--
       ``(A) publish notice of the proposed certification in a 
     newspaper of general circulation and provide such additional 
     notice of the proposed certification as may be required by 
     State law;
       ``(B) include in the notice of the proposed certification 
     or otherwise make readily available a statement of the laws 
     and regulations subject to the certification and an 
     explanation of the basis for a conclusion that they satisfy 
     the requirements of subsection (c);

     on the proposed certification, for a period of time not less 
     than 60 days after publication of the notice; and

     with an explanation of the basis for the final certification, 
     in a newspaper of general circulation and provide such 
     additional notice of the final certification as may be 
     required by State law.
       ``(e) Ownership of Recyclable Materials.--
       ``(1) Prohibition on required transfers.--Nothing in this 
     section shall authorize any State or qualified political 
     subdivision (or any designee thereof) to require any 
     generator or owner of recyclable materials to transfer any 
     recyclable materials to such State or qualified political 
     subdivision, unless the generator or owner voluntarily made 
     the materials available to the State or qualified political 
     subdivision (or any designee thereof) and relinquished any 
     rights to, or ownership of, such materials.
       ``(2) Prohibition on prohibited transactions.--Nothing in 
     this section shall prohibit any person from selling, 
     purchasing, or accepting, conveying, or transporting any 
     recyclable materials for purposes of transformation or

     generator or owner voluntarily made the materials available 
     to the State or qualified political subdivision (or any 
     designee thereof) and relinquished any rights to, or 
     ownership of, such materials.
       ``(f) Existing Laws and Contracts.--

     abrogate, or otherwise modify any of the following:

                   DEPENDENT COMMUNITIES IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Timber-dependent communities in the Pacific Northwest 
     have contributed significantly to the economic needs of the

     supply of timber and timber products.
       (2) A significant portion of the timber traditionally 
     harvested in the Pacific Northwest is derived from Federal 
     forest lands, and these forests have played an important role 
     in sustaining local economies.
       (3) A number of traditionally timber-dependent communities 
     are experiencing significant economic difficulties as a 
     result of their proximity to the range of the northwest 
     spotted owl.
       (4) These timber-dependent communities need economic 
     assistance to help them diversify, including support from 
     water and waste facility loans and grants and community 
     facility loans and grants funded through the Rural 
     Development Administration.
       (b) Expanded Eligibility.--During the period beginning on 
     the date of the enactment of this Act and ending on September 
     30, 1998, the terms ``rural'' and ``rural area'', as used in

       (2) that is located in a county in which at least 15 
     percent of the total primary and secondary labor and 
     proprietor income is derived from forestry, wood products, or 
     forest-related industries such as recreation and tourism; and
       (3) that has a population of not more than 25,000 
     inhabitants.
       (c) Effect on State Allotments of Funds.--This section 
     shall not be taken into consideration in alloting funds to 
     the various States for purposes of the Consolidated Farm and 
     Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1921 et seq.), or otherwise 
     affect or alter the manner under which such funds were

     SEC. 101. AMENDMENTS TO THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY 
                   EDUCATION ACT OF 1965.

       The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 
     U.S.C. 2701 et seq.) is amended to read as follows:

     ``SECTION 1. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

       ``This Act may be cited as the `Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965'.
     ``TITLE I--HELPING DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN MEET HIGH STANDARDS

     ``SEC. 1001. DECLARATION OF POLICY AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Statement of Policy.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Congress declares it to be the 
     policy of the United States that a high-quality education for 
     all individuals and a fair and equal opportunity to obtain 
     that education are a societal good, are a moral imperative, 
     and improve the life of every individual, because the quality 
     of our individual lives ultimately depends on the quality of 
     the lives of others.
       ``(2) Additional policy.--The Congress further declares it 
     to be the policy of the United States to expand the program 
     authorized by this title over the fiscal years 1996 through 
     1999 by increasing funding for this title by at least 
     $750,000,000 over baseline each fiscal year and thereby 
     increasing the percentage of eligible children served in each 
     fiscal year with the intent of serving all eligible children 
     by fiscal year 2004.
       ``(b) Recognition of Need.--The Congress recognizes that--
       ``(1) although the achievement gap between disadvantaged 
     children and other children has been reduced by half over the 
     past two decades, a sizable gap remains, and many segments of 
     our society lack the opportunity to become well educated;
       ``(2) the most urgent need for educational improvement is 
     in schools with high concentrations of children from low-
     income families and achieving the National Education Goals 
     will not be possible without substantial improvement in such 
     schools;
       ``(3) educational needs are particularly great for low-
     achieving children in our Nation's highest-poverty schools, 
     children with limited English proficiency, children of 
     migrant workers, children with disabilities, Indian children, 
     children who are neglected or delinquent, and young children 
     and their parents who are in need of family-literacy 
     services;
       ``(4) while title I and other programs funded under this 
     Act contribute to narrowing the achievement gap between 
     children in high-poverty and low-poverty schools, such 
     programs need to become even more effective in improving 
     schools in order to enable all children to achieve high 
     standards; and
       ``(5) in order for all students to master challenging 
     standards in core academic subjects as described in the third 
     National Education Goal described in section 102(3) of the 
     Goals 2000: Educate America Act, students and schools will 
     need to maximize the time spent on teaching and learning the 
     core academic subjects.
       ``(c) What Has Been Learned Since 1988.--To enable schools 
     to provide all children a high-quality education, this title 
     builds upon the following learned information:
       ``(1) All children can master challenging content and 
     complex problem-solving skills. Research clearly shows that 
     children, including low-achieving children, can succeed when 
     expectations are high and all children are given the 
     opportunity to learn challenging material.
       ``(2) Conditions outside the classroom such as hunger, 
     unsafe living conditions, homelessness, unemployment, 
     violence, inadequate health care, child abuse, and drug and 
     alcohol abuse can adversely affect children's academic 
     achievement and must be addressed through the coordination of 
     services, such as health and social services, in order for 
     the Nation to meet the National Education Goals.
       ``(3) Use of low-level tests that are not aligned with 
     schools' curricula fails to provide adequate information 
     about what children know and can do and encourages curricula 
     and instruction that focus on the low-level skills measured 
     by such tests.
       ``(4) Resources are more effective when resources are used 
     to ensure that children have full access to effective high-
     quality regular school programs and receive supplemental help 
     through extended-time activities.
       ``(5) Intensive and sustained professional development for 
     teachers and other school staff, focused on teaching and 
     learning and on helping children attain high standards, is 
     too often not provided.
       ``(6) Insufficient attention and resources are directed 
     toward the effective use of technology in schools and the 
     role technology can play in professional development and 
     improved teaching and learning.
       ``(7) All parents can contribute to their children's 
     success by helping at home and becoming partners with 
     teachers so that children can achieve high standards.
       ``(8) Decentralized decisionmaking is a key ingredient of 
     systemic reform. Schools need the resources, flexibility, and 
     authority to design and implement effective strategies for 
     bringing their children to high levels of performance.
       ``(9) Opportunities for students to achieve high standards 
     can be enhanced through a variety of approaches such as 
     public school choice and public charter schools.
       ``(10) Attention to academics alone cannot ensure that all 
     children will reach high standards. The health and other 
     needs of children that affect learning are frequently unmet, 
     particularly in high-poverty schools,

[[Page 2094]]

     thereby necessitating coordination of services to better meet 
     children's needs.
       ``(11) Resources provided under this title can be better 
     targeted on the highest-poverty local educational agencies 
     and schools that have children most in need.
       ``(12) Equitable and sufficient resources, particularly as 
     such resources relate to the quality of the teaching force, 
     have an integral relationship to high student achievement.
       ``(d) Statement of Purpose.--The purpose of this title is 
     to enable schools to provide opportunities for children 
     served to acquire the knowledge and skills contained in the 
     challenging State content standards and to meet the 
     challenging State performance standards developed for all 
     children. This purpose shall be accomplished by--
       ``(1) ensuring high standards for all children and aligning 
     the efforts of States, local educational agencies, and 
     schools to help children served under this title to reach 
     such standards;
       ``(2) providing children an enriched and accelerated 
     educational program, including, when appropriate, the use of 
     the arts, through schoolwide programs or through additional 
     services that increase the amount and quality of 
     instructional time so that children served under this title 
     receive at least the classroom instruction that other 
     children receive;
       ``(3) promoting schoolwide reform and ensuring access of 
     children (from the earliest grades) to effective 
     instructional strategies and challenging academic content 
     that includes intensive complex thinking and problem-solving 
     experiences;
       ``(4) significantly upgrading the quality of instruction by 
     providing staff in participating schools with substantial 
     opportunities for professional development;
       ``(5) coordinating services under all parts of this title 
     with each other, with other educational services, and, to the 
     extent feasible, with health and social service programs 
     funded from other sources;
       ``(6) affording parents meaningful opportunities to 
     participate in the education of their children at home and at 
     school;
       ``(7) distributing resources, in amounts sufficient to make 
     a difference, to areas and schools where needs are greatest;
       ``(8) improving accountability, as well as teaching and 
     learning, by using State assessment systems designed to 
     measure how well children served under this title are 
     achieving challenging State student performance standards 
     expected of all children; and
       ``(9) providing greater decisionmaking authority and 
     flexibility to schools and teachers in exchange for greater 
     responsibility for student performance.

       ``(a) Local Review.--Each local educational agency 
     receiving funds under this part shall--
       ``(1) use the State assessments described in the State 
     plan;
       ``(2) use any additional measures or indicators described 
     in the local educational agency's plan to review annually the 
     progress of each school served under this part to determine 
     whether the school is meeting, or making adequate progress as 
     defined in section 1111(b)(2)(A)(i) toward enabling its 
     students to meet the State's student performance standards 
     described in the State plan;

     schools so that the schools can continually refine the 
     program of instruction to help all children served under this 
     part in those schools meet the State's student performance 
     standards.
       ``(b) Designation of Distinguished Schools.--Each State 
     educational agency and local educational agency receiving 
     funds under this part shall designate distinguished schools 
     in accordance with section 1117.

       ``(1) In general.--A local educational agency shall 
     identify for school improvement any school served under this 
     part that--
       ``(A) has been in program improvement under section 1020 of 
     the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (as such 
     section was in effect on the day preceding the date of 
     enactment of the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994), 
     for at least two consecutive school years prior to such day;
       ``(B) has not made adequate progress as defined in the 
     State's plan under section 1111(b)(2)(A)(i) for two 
     consecutive school years, except that--
       ``(i) this subparagraph shall not apply to a school if 
     almost every student in such school is meeting the State's 
     advanced level of performance; or

     school may be reviewed on the progress of only those students 
     that have been or are served under this part; or
       ``(C) has failed to meet the criteria established by the 
     State through the State's transitional procedure under 
     section 1111(b)(7)(B) for two consecutive years.
       ``(2) Requirement.--(A) Each school identified under 
     paragraph (1) shall--
       ``(i) in consultation with parents, the local educational 
     agency, and the school support team, develop or revise a 
     school plan in ways that have the greatest likelihood of 
     improving the performance of participating children in 
     meeting the State's student performance standards, which may 
     include reviewing the schools' plan in the context of the 
     opportunity-to-learn standards or strategies developed by 
     such State under the Goals 2000: Educate America Act; and
       ``(ii) submit the plan or revised plan to the local 
     educational agency for approval.
       ``(B) Before identifying a school for school improvement 
     under paragraph (1), the local educational agency shall 
     provide the school with an opportunity to review the school-
     level data, including assessment data, on which such 
     identification is based. If the school believes that such 
     identification for school improvement is in error for 
     statistical or other substantive reasons, such school may 
     provide evidence to the local educational agency to support 
     such belief.
       ``(C) During the first year immediately following such 
     identification, the school shall implement such school's plan 
     or revised plan.
       ``(3) Professional development.--(A) Each school identified 
     under paragraph (1) shall, as part of the school plan under 
     paragraph (2), improve the skills of its staff by providing 
     effective professional development activities. A school shall 
     demonstrate such school's compliance with this paragraph by--
       ``(i) devoting to such activities, over two consecutive 
     years, an amount equivalent to at least 10 percent of the 
     funds received by the school under this part during one 
     fiscal year; or
       ``(ii) otherwise demonstrating that such school is 
     effectively carrying out professional development activities.
       ``(B) A school may use funds from any source to meet the 
     requirements of this subsection.
       ``(C) Decisions about how to use the funds made available 
     under this part which the school makes available for 
     professional development shall be made by teachers, 
     principals, and other school staff in that school.
       ``(4) Technical assistance.--(A) For each school identified 
     under paragraph (1), the local educational agency shall 
     provide technical or other assistance as the school develops 
     and implements such school's plan or revised plan, such as a 
     joint plan between the local educational agency and school 
     that addresses specific elements of student performance 
     problems and that specifies school and local educational 
     agency responsibilities under the plan, and waivers or 
     modifications of requirements of local educational agency 
     policy or regulation that impede the ability of the school to 
     educate students.
       ``(B) Such technical assistance may be provided directly by 
     the local educational agency, through mechanisms authorized 
     under section 1117, or with the local educational agency's 
     approval, by an institution of higher education, a private 
     nonprofit organization, an educational service agency, a 
     comprehensive regional assistance center under part A of 
     title XIII, or other entities with experience in helping 
     schools improve achievement.

     subparagraph (C), after providing technical assistance 
     pursuant to paragraph (4) and taking other remediation 
     measures, the local educational agency may take corrective 
     action at any time against a school that has been identified 
     under paragraph (1), but, during the third year following 
     identification under paragraph (1), shall take such action 
     against any school that still fails to make adequate 
     progress.
       ``(B)(i) Corrective actions are those, consistent with 
     State and local law, determined and made public and 
     disseminated by the local educational agency, which may 
     include--
       ``(I) withholding funds;
       ``(II) interagency collaborative agreements between the 
     school and other public agencies to provide health, 
     counseling, and other social services needed to remove 
     barriers to learning;
       ``(III) revoking authority for a school to operate a 
     schoolwide program;
       ``(IV) decreasing decisionmaking authority at the school 
     level;
       ``(V) making alternative governance arrangements such as 
     the creation of a public charter school;
       ``(VI) reconstituting the school staff;
       ``(VII) authorizing students to transfer, including 
     transportation costs, to other public schools served by the 
     local educational agency; and
       ``(VIII) implementing opportunity-to-learn standards or 
     strategies developed by such State under the Goals 2000: 
     Educate America Act.

     pursuant to this part shall not include the actions described 
     in subclauses (I), (III), (IV), (VI), or (VII) of clause (i) 
     until the State has developed assessments that meet the 
     requirements of subparagraph (C) of section 1111(b)(3).
       ``(C) Prior to implementing any corrective action, the 
     local educational agency may refrain from such corrective 
     action for one additional year to the extent that the failure 
     to make progress can be attributed to extenuating 
     circumstances as determined by the local educational agency.
       ``(D) A school that is no longer operating its schoolwide 
     program due to a corrective action may not resume operation 
     of such a program until the local educational agency 
     determines that the school has adequately reformed its 
     schoolwide program plan to enable the school to make adequate 
     progress toward meeting the State's challenging student 
     performance standards.
       ``(6) State educational agency responsibilities.--The State 
     educational agency shall--
       ``(A) make technical assistance under section 1117 
     available to the schools farthest from meeting the State's 
     challenging student performance standards, if requested by 
     the school or local educational agency; and
       ``(B) if such agency determines that a local educational 
     agency failed to carry out the local educational agency's 
     responsibilities under paragraphs (4) and (5), take such 
     corrective actions as the State educational agency deems 
     appropriate and which are in compliance with State law.
       ``(7) Special rule.--Schools that, for at least two of the 
     three years following identification under paragraph (1), 
     make adequate progress toward meeting the State's proficient 
     and advanced levels of performance shall no longer need to be 
     identified for school improvement.
       ``(d) State Review and Local Educational Agency 
     Improvement.--
       ``(1) In general.--A State educational agency shall--
       ``(A) annually review the progress of each local 
     educational agency receiving funds under this part to 
     determine whether schools receiving assistance under this 
     part are making adequate progress as defined in section 
     1111(b)(2)(A)(ii) toward meeting the State's student 
     performance standards; and
       ``(B) publicize and disseminate to local educational 
     agencies, teachers and other staff, parents, students, and 
     the community the results of the State review, including 
     statistically sound disaggregated results, as required by 
     section 1111(b)(3)(I).
       ``(2) Rewards.--In the case of a local educational agency 
     that for three consecutive years has met or exceeded the 
     State's definition of adequate progress as defined in section 
     1111(b)(2)(A)(ii), the State may make institutional and 
     individual rewards of the kinds described for individual 
     schools in paragraph (2) of section 1117(c).
       ``(3) Identification.--(A) A State educational agency shall 
     identify for improvement any local educational agency that--
       ``(i) for two consecutive years, is not making adequate 
     progress as defined in section 1111(b)(2)(A)(ii) in schools 
     served under this part toward meeting the State's student 
     per-

     educational agency that are operating targeted assistance 
     programs may be reviewed on the basis of the progress of only 
     those students served under this part; or

     State through such State's transitional procedure under 
     section 1111(b)(7)(B) for two consecutive years.

     improvement under paragraph (1), the State educational agency

     opportunity to review the school-level data, including 
     assessment data, on which such identification is based. If 
     the local educational agency believes that such 
     identification for improvement is in error due to statistical 
     or other substantive reasons, such local educational agency

     support such belief.

     educational agency identified under paragraph (3) shall, in 
     consultation with schools, parents, and educational experts, 
     revise its local educational agency plan under section 1112 
     in ways that have the greatest likelihood of improving the 
     performance of schools served by the local educational agency 
     under this part in meeting the State's student performance 
     standards.

     educational agency's plan failed to bring about increased 
     achievement, and may include reviewing the local educational 
     agency's plan in the context of the opportunity-to-learn 
     standards or strategies developed by such State under the

     as authorized under section 1117, to better enable the local

     action at any time against a local educational agency that

     fourth year following identification under paragraph (3), 
     shall take such action against any local educational agency

     rico.--The grant which a local educational agency in a State 
     is eligible to receive under this subpart for a fiscal year 
     shall (except as provided in section 1126), be determined by 
     multiplying the number of children counted under subsection 
     (c) by 40 percent of the amount determined under the next 
     sentence. The amount determined under this sentence shall be 
     the average per pupil expenditure in the State except that--
       ``(A) if the average per pupil expenditure in the State is 
     less than 80 percent of the average per pupil expenditure in 
     the United States, such amount shall be 80 percent of the 
     average per pupil expenditure in the United States; or
       ``(B) if the average per pupil expenditure in the State is 
     more than 120 percent of the average per pupil expenditure in 
     the United States, such amount shall be 120 percent of the 
     average per pupil expenditure in the United States.
       ``(2) Basis for calculating grants.--For fiscal years 1995 
     through 1998, grants shall be calculated by the Secretary on 
     the basis of the number of children counted under subsection 
     (c) for counties, and State educational agencies shall 
     suballocate county amounts to local educational agencies, in 
     accordance with regulations published by the Secretary. In 
     any State in which a large number of local educational 
     agencies overlap county boundaries, the State educational 
     agency may apply to the Secretary for authority during any 
     particular fiscal year to make the allocations under this 
     part (other than section 1124A) directly to local educational 
     agencies without regard to the counties. If the Secretary 
     approves an application of a State educational agency for a 
     particular year under this subparagraph, the State 
     educational agency shall provide assurances that--
       ``(A) such allocations will be made using precisely the 
     same factors for determining a grant as are used under this 
     part;
       ``(B) such allocations will be made using alternative data 
     approved by the Secretary that the State determines best 
     reflects the distribution of children in poor families and is 
     adjusted to be equivalent in proportion to the number of 
     children determined in accordance with subsection (c); or
       ``(C) such allocations will be made using data that the 
     State educational agency submits to the Secretary for 
     approval that more accurately target poverty.
     In addition, the State educational agency shall provide 
     assurances that a procedure will be established through which 
     local educational agencies dissatisfied with the 
     determinations made by the State educational agency may 
     appeal directly to the Secretary for a final determination. 
     Beginning in fiscal year 1999, grants shall be calculated by 
     the Secretary on the basis of population data compiled for 
     local educational agencies, unless the Secretary and the 
     Secretary of Commerce determine that use of the updated 
     population data would be inappropriate or unreliable taking 
     into consideration the recommendations of the study to be 
     conducted by the National Academy of Sciences. If the 
     Secretary and the Secretary and the Secretary of Commerce 
     determine that some or all of the data referred to in this 
     paragraph are inappropriate or unreliable, the Secretaries 
     shall jointly issue a report setting forth their reasons in 
     detail. In years when grants are calculated by the Secretary 
     on the basis of local educational agency data, for each local 
     educational agency serving an area with a total population of 
     at least 20,000 persons, the grant under this section shall 
     be the amount determined by the Secretary. For local 
     educational agencies serving areas with total populations of 
     fewer than 20,000 persons, the State educational agency may 
     either--
       ``(i) distribute to such local educational agencies grants 
     under this section equal to the amounts determined by the 
     Secretary; and
       ``(ii) use an alternative method, approved by the 
     Secretary, to distribute the share of the State's total 
     grants under this section that is based on local educational 
     agencies with total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons. 
     Such an alternative method of distributing grants under this 
     section among a State's local educational agencies serving 
     areas with total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons 
     shall be based upon population data that the State 
     educational agency determines best reflect the current 
     distribution of children in poor families among the State's 
     local educational agencies serving areas with total 
     populations of fewer than 20,000 persons. If a local 
     educational agency serving an area with total population of 
     less than 20,000 persons is dissatisfied with the 
     determination of its grant by the State education agency, 
     then such local educational agency may appeal this 
     determination to the Secretary. The Secretary must respond to 
     this appeal within 45 days of receipt.
       ``(3) Puerto rico.--For each fiscal year, the Secretary 
     shall determine the percentage which the average per pupil 
     expenditure in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is of the 
     lowest average per pupil expenditure of any of the 50 States. 
     The grant which the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico shall be 
     eligible to receive under this section for a fiscal year 
     shall be the amount arrived at by multiplying the number of 
     children counted under subsection (c) for the Commonwealth of 
     Puerto Rico by the product of--
       ``(A) the percentage determined under the preceding 
     sentence; and
       ``(B) 32 percent of the average per pupil expenditure in 
     the United States.

     term `State' does not include Guam, American Samoa, the 
     Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau.

     the succeeding sentence, a local educational agency shall be 
     eligible for a basic grant for a fiscal year under this 
     subpart only if the number of children counted under 
     subsection (c) in the school district of such local 
     educational agency is at least 10. Beginning in fiscal year 
     1996, no local educational agency shall be eligible for a 
     grant under this section if the number of children counted 
     for grants under this section is equal to 2 percent or less 
     of the total school age population in the local educational 
     agency. For fiscal years 1996 through 1998, grants not made 
     as a result of applying the preceding sentence shall be 
     reallocated by the State educational agency to other eligible 
     local educational agencies in the State in proportion to the 
     distribution of other funds under this section.

     counted for purposes of this section is the aggregate of--

     number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, from families 
     below the poverty level on the basis of the most recent 
     satisfactory data, described in paragraph (3), available from 
     the Department of Commerce. For fiscal year 1999 and beyond, 
     the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 
     shall be treated as individual local educational agencies. If 
     a local educational agency contains two or more counties in 
     their entirety, then each county will be treated as if such 
     county were a separate local educational agency for purposes 
     of calculating grants under this part. The total of grants 
     for such counties shall be allocated to such a local 
     educational agency, which local educational agency shall 
     distribute to schools in each county within such agency a 
     share of the local educational agency's total grant that is 
     no less than the county's share of the population counts used 
     to calculate the local educational agency's grant.
       ``(3) Population updates.--In fiscal year 1997 and every 2 
     years thereafter, the Secretary shall use updated data on the 
     number of children, aged 5 to 17, inclusive, from families 
     below the poverty level for counties or local educational 
     agencies, published by the Department of Commerce, unless the 
     Secretary and the Secretary of Commerce determine that use of 
     the updated population data would be inappropriate or 
     unreliable, taking into consideration the recommendations of 
     the study to be conducted by the National Academy of 
     Sciences. If the Secretary and the Secretary of Commerce 
     determine that some or all of the data referred to in this 
     paragraph are inappropriate or unreliable, they shall jointly 
     issue a report setting forth their reasons in detail. In 
     determining the families which are below the poverty level, 
     the Secretary shall utilize the criteria of poverty used by 
     the Bureau of the Census in compiling the most recent 
     decennial census, in such form as those criteria have been 
     updated by increases in the Consumer Price Index for all 
     urban consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
       ``(4) Study.--(A) The Secretary of Education shall, within 
     30 days after the date of enactment of the Improving 
     America's School's Act of 1994, contract with the National 
     Academy of Sciences (hereafter in this section referred to as 
     the `Academy') to study the program to produce intercensal 
     poverty data for small geographic areas and certain age 
     cohorts being developed by the Bureau of the Census.
       ``(B) In conducting its study, the Academy shall consider 
     such matters as--
       ``(i) the methodology used to produce and publish 
     intercensal poverty data, and possible alternative methods to 
     improve the usefulness of the data for Federal program 
     purposes;

[[Page 2107]]

       ``(ii) the availability of alternative indicators of 
     poverty for small geographic areas, against which the poverty 
     data produced and published by the Bureau of the Census could 
     be compared;
       ``(iii) the reliability of the poverty data produced and 
     published by the Bureau of the Census, particularly for less 
     populous geographic areas;
       ``(iv) the reliability of intercensal poverty data produced 
     and published by the Bureau of the Census, as compared over 
     time to similar data produced by the Bureau of the Census 
     during the most recent decennial census; and
       ``(v) the usefulness of poverty data produced and published 
     by the Bureau of the Census for Federal programs that 
     allocate funds to State and sub-State areas based, in whole 
     or in part, on such data.
       ``(C) The Academy shall submit to the Secretary and the 
     Secretary of Commerce, as well as to the Committee on 
     Education and Labor and the Committee on Post Office and 
     Civil Service of the House of Representatives and the 
     Committee on Labor and Human Resources and the Committee on 
     Governmental Affairs of the Senate--
       ``(i) not later than 18 months after the date on which a 
     contract is entered into under subsection (a), and not later 
     than every 18 months thereafter, such interim reports on the 
     Academy's activities under this Act that the Academy deems 
     appropriate, including a detailed statement of the Academy's 
     findings and conclusions with respect to any poverty data 
     which the Bureau of the Census publishes and produces, within 
     90 days of such publication; and
       ``(ii) not later than December 31, 1998, a final report 
     which shall include a more detailed statement of the 
     Academy's findings and conclusions with respect to the use of 
     any intercensal poverty data produced and published by the 
     Bureau of the Census as the basis for allocating Federal 
     funds under this Act.
       ``(D) Of the funds appropriated under section 1002(f) of 
     this Act, the Secretary shall use such sums as are necessary 
     in each of fiscal years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 to 
     carry out the provisions of this paragraph.
       ``(5) Other children to be counted.--For purposes of this 
     section, the Secretary shall determine the number of children 
     aged 5 to 17, inclusive, from families above the poverty 
     level on the basis of the number of such children from 
     families receiving an annual income, in excess of the current 
     criteria of poverty, from payments under the program of aid 
     to families with dependent children under a State plan 
     approved under title IV of the Social Security Act; and in 
     making such determinations the Secretary shall utilize the 
     criteria of poverty used by the Bureau of the Census in 
     compiling the most recent decennial census for a family of 4 
     in such form as those criteria have been updated by increases 
     in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers, 
     published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Secretary 
     shall determine the number of such children and the number of 
     children of such ages living in institutions for neglected or 
     delinquent children, or being supported in foster homes with 
     public funds, on the basis of the caseload data for the month 
     of October of the preceding fiscal year (using, in the case 
     of children described in the preceding sentence, the criteria 
     of poverty and the form of such criteria required by such 
     sentence which were determined for the calendar year 
     preceding such month of October) or, to the extent that such 
     data are not available to the Secretary before January of the 
     calendar year in which the Secretary's determination is made, 
     then on the basis of the most recent reliable data available 
     to the Secretary at the time of such determination. The Sec- 
     retary of Health and Human Services shall collect and 
     transmit the information required by this subparagraph to the 
     Secretary not later than January 1 of each year.
       ``(6) Estimate.--When requested by the Secretary, the 
     Secretary of Commerce shall make a special updated estimate 
     of the number of children of such ages who are from families 
     below the poverty level (as determined under subparagraph (A) 
     of this paragraph) in each school district, and the Secretary 
     is authorized to pay (either in advance or by way of 
     reimbursement) the Secretary of Commerce the cost of making 
     this special estimate. The Secretary of Commerce shall give 
     consideration to any request of the chief executive of a 
     State for the collection of additional census information. 
     For purposes of this section, the Secretary shall consider 
     all children who are in correctional institutions to be 
     living in institutions for delinquent children.
       ``(d) State Minimum.--Notwithstanding subsections (b)(1) or 
     (d) of section 1122, the aggregate amount allotted for all 
     local educational agencies within a State may not be less 
     than the lesser of--
       ``(1) 0.25 percent of total grants under this section; or
       ``(2) the average of--
       ``(A) one-quarter of 1 percent of the total amount 
     available for such fiscal year under this section; and
       ``(B) the number of children in such State counted under 
     subsection (c) in the fiscal year multiplied by 150 percent 
     of the national average per pupil payment made with funds

       ``(1) In general.--(A) Except as otherwise provided in this 
     paragraph, each local educational agency, in a State other 
     than Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the 
     Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau, 
     which is eligible for a grant under this part for any fiscal 
     year shall be eligible for an additional grant under this 
     section for that fiscal year if--
       ``(i) the number of children counted under section 1124(c) 
     in the county (for fiscal years 1996 through 1998), or local 
     educational agency (for fiscal years beginning with 1999) for 
     the fiscal year exceeds 6,500; or
       ``(ii) the number of children counted under section 1124(c) 
     exceeds 15 percent of the total number of children aged 5 to 
     17, inclusive, in the county (for fiscal years 1996 through 
     1998), or local educational agency (for fiscal years 
     beginning with 1999) in that fiscal year.
       ``(B) Notwithstanding such subsections (b)(1) and (d) of 
     section 1122, no State described in subparagraph (A) shall 
     receive less than the lesser of--
       ``(i) 0.25 percent of total grants; or
       ``(ii) the average of--
       ``(I) one-quarter of 1 percent of the sums available to 
     carry out this section for such fiscal year; and

       ``(bb) the number of children in such State counted for 
     purposes of this section in that fiscal year multiplied by 
     150 percent of the national average per pupil payment made 
     with funds available under this section for that year.

       ``(2) Special rule.--For each county or local educational 
     agency eligible to receive an additional grant under this 
     section for any fiscal year the Secretary shall determine the 
     product of--
       ``(A) the number of children counted under section 1124(c) 
     for that fiscal year; and
       ``(B) the quotient resulting from the division of the 
     amount determined for those agencies under section 1124(a)(1) 
     for the fiscal year for which the determination is being made 
     divided by the total number of children counted under section 
     1124(c) for that agency for fiscal year.
       ``(3) Amount.--The amount of the additional grant for which 
     an eligible local educational agency or county is eligible 
     under this section for any fiscal year shall be an amount 
     which bears the same ratio to the amount available to carry 
     out this section for that fiscal year as the product 
     determined under paragraph (2) for such local educational 
     agency for that fiscal year bears to the sum of such products 
     for all local educational agencies in the United States for 
     that fiscal year.
       ``(4) Suballocation.--For fiscal years 1996 through 1998, 
     county amounts shall be suballocated to local educational 
     agencies meeting the criteria of paragraph (1)(A) by State 
     educational agencies, in accordance with regulations 
     published by the Secretary. For fiscal years 1995 through 
     1998, grants shall be calculated by the Secretary on the 
     basis of the number of children counted under section 1124(c) 
     for counties, and State educational agencies shall 
     suballocate county amounts to local educational agencies, in 
     accordance with regulations published by the Secretary. In 
     any State in which a large number of local educational 
     agencies overlap county boundaries, the State educational 
     agency may apply to the Secretary for authority during any 
     particular fiscal year to make the allocations under this 
     part (other than this section) directly to local educational 
     agencies without regard to the counties. If the Secretary 
     approves an application of a State educational agency for a 
     particular year under this paragraph, the State educational 
     agency shall provide assurances that--
       ``(A) such allocations will be made using precisely the 
     same factors for determining a grant as are used under this 
     part;
       ``(B) such allocations will be made using alternative data 
     approved by the Secretary that the State determines best 
     reflects the distribution of children in poor families and is 
     adjusted to be equivalent in proportion to the number of 
     children determined in accordance with section 1124(c); or
       ``(C) such allocations will be made using data that the 
     State educational agency submits to the Secretary for 
     approval that more accurately target poverty.

     In addition, the State educational agency shall provide 
     assurances that a procedure will be established through which 
     local educational agencies dissatisfied with the 
     determinations made by the State educational agency may 
     appeal directly to the Secretary for a final determination. A 
     State may reserve not more than 2 percent of its allocations 
     in fiscal years 1996 through 1998 under this section for the 
     purpose of making grants to local educational agencies that 
     meet the criteria of clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (1)(A), 
     but are in ineligible counties. For fiscal years beginning 
     with 1999, for each local educational agency serving an area 
     with a total population of at least 20,000 persons, the grant 
     under this section shall be the amount determined by the 
     Secretary. For local educational agencies serving areas with 
     total populations of fewer than 20,000 persons, the State 
     educational agency may either (i) distribute to such local 
     educational agencies grants under this section equal to the 
     amounts determined by the Secretary; or (ii) use an 
     alternative method, approved by the Secretary, to distribute 
     the share of the State's total grants under this section that 
     is based on local educational agencies with total populations 
     of fewer than 20,000 per-

     sons. Such an alternative method of distributing grants under 
     this section among a State's local educational agencies 
     serving areas with total populations of fewer than 20,000 
     persons shall be based upon population data that the State 
     educational agency determines best reflects the current 
     distribution of children in poor families among the State's 
     local educational agencies serving areas with total 
     populations of fewer than 20,000 persons and meeting the 
     eligibility criteria of paragraph (1)(A). If a local 
     educational agency serving an area with total population of 
     less than 20,000 persons is dissatisfied with the 
     determination of its grant by the State educational agency, 
     then such local educational agency may appeal this 
     determination to the Secretary. The Secretary shall respond 
     to this appeal within 45 days of receipt. The Secretary shall 
     consult with the Secretary of Commerce regarding whether 
     available data on population for local educational agencies 
     serving areas with total populations of fewer than 20,000 
     persons are sufficiently reliable to be used to determine 
     final grants to such areas meeting the eligibility criteria 
     of paragraph (1)(A).
       ``(b) Reservation of Funds.--Of the total amount of funds 
     available for this section and sections 1124 and 1125, an 
     amount equal to the appropriation for fiscal year 1995 for 
     section 1006 of this Act (as such section was in effect on 
     the day preceding the date of enactment of this Act) shall be 
     available to carry out this section.
       ``(c) Ratable Reduction Rule.--If the sums available under 
     subsection (b) for any fiscal year for making payments under 
     this section are not sufficient to pay in full the total 
     amounts which all States are eligible to receive under 
     subsection (a) for such fiscal year, the maximum amounts 
     which all States are eligible to receive under subsection (a) 
     for such fiscal year shall be ratably reduced. In the case 
     that additional funds become available for making such 
     payments for any fiscal year during which the preceding 
     sentence is applicable, such reduced amounts shall be 
     increased on the same basis as they were reduced.
       ``(d) States Receiving Minimum Grants.--In States that 
     receive the minimum grant under subsection (a)(1)(B), the 
     State educational agency shall allocate such funds among the 
     local educational agencies in each State either--
       ``(1) in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (4) of 
     subsection (a); or
       ``(2) based on their respective concentrations and numbers 
     of children counted under section 1124(c), except that only 
     those local educational agencies with concentrations or 
     numbers of children counted under section 1124(c) that exceed 
     the statewide average percentage of such children or the 
     statewide average number of such children shall receive any 
     funds on the basis of this paragraph.

     educational agency in a State is eligible to receive a 
     targeted grant under this section for any fiscal year if the 
     number of children in the local educational agency counted 
     under subsection 1124(c), before application of the weighting 
     factor described in subsection (c), is at least 10, and if 
     the number of children counted for grants under section 1124 
     is at least 5 percent of the total population aged 5 to 17 
     years, inclusive, in the local educational agency. Funds made 
     available as a result of applying this subsection shall be 
     reallocated by the State educational agency to other eligible 
     local educational agencies in the State in proportion to the 
     distribution of other funds under this section.

     enrollment, such as differing geographic costs, costs 
     associated with students with disabilities, children with 
     limited-English proficiency or other meaningful educational 
     needs, which deserve additional support. In addition and also 
     with the advice of independent education finance scholars, 
     the Secretary may revise each State's equity factor to 
     incorporate other valid and accepted methods to achieve 
     adequacy of educational opportunity that may not be reflected 
     in a coefficient of variation method.

     the State fails to meet the requirements of paragraph (1) by 
     falling below 90 percent of both the fiscal effort per 
     student and aggregate expenditures (using the measure most 
     favorable to the State), and no such lesser amount shall be 
     used for computing the effort required under paragraph (1)

     unwilling to provide for the special educational needs of 
     children who are living in institutions for neglected 
     children as described in subparagraph 1124(c)(1)(C), the 
     State educational agency shall, if such agency assumes 
     responsibility for the special educational needs of such

 ``PART D--PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH 
       WHO ARE NEGLECTED, DELINQUENT, OR AT-RISK OF DROPPING OUT

     ``SEC. 1401. FINDINGS; PURPOSE; PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

       ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       ``(1) A large percentage of youth in the juvenile justice 
     system have poor academic achievement, are a year or more 
     behind grade level, and have dropped out of school.
       ``(2) There is a strong correlation between academic 
     failure and involvement in delinquent activities.
       ``(3) Preventing students from dropping out of local 
     schools and addressing the educational needs of delinquent 
     youth can help reduce the dropout rate and involvement in 
     delinquent activities at the same time.
       ``(4) Many schools and correctional facilities fail to 
     communicate regarding a youth's academic needs and students 
     often return to their home school ill-prepared to meet 
     current curriculum requirements.
       ``(5) Schools are often reluctant to deal with youth 
     returning from facilities and receive no funds to deal with 
     the unique educational and other needs of such youth.
       ``(6) A continuing need exists for activities and programs 
     to reduce the incidence of youth dropping out of school.
       ``(7) Federal dropout prevention programs have demonstrated 
     effectiveness in keeping children and youth in school.
       ``(8) Pregnant and parenting teens are a high at-risk group 
     for dropping out of school and should be targeted by dropout 
     prevention programs.
       ``(9) Such youth need a strong dropout prevention program 
     which provides such youth with high level skills and which 
     provides supports to youth returning from correctional 
     facilities in order to keep such youth in school.
       ``(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this part--
       ``(1) to improve educational services to children in local 
     and State institutions for neglected or delinquent children 
     and youth so that such children and youth have the 
     opportunity to meet the same challenging State content 
     standards and challenging State student performance standards 
     that all children in the State will be expected to meet;
       ``(2) to provide such children and youth the services 
     needed to make a successful transition from 
     institutionalization to further schooling or employment; and

[[Page 2114]]

       ``(3) to prevent at-risk youth from dropping out of school 
     and to provide dropouts and youth returning from institutions 
     with a support system to ensure their continued education.
       ``(c) Program Authorized.--In order to carry out the 
     purpose of this part the Secretary shall make grants to State 
     educational agencies to enable such agencies to award 
     subgrants to State agencies and local educational agencies to 
     establish or improve programs of education for neglected or 
     delinquent children and youth at risk of dropping out of 
     school before graduation.

     ``SEC. 1402. PAYMENTS FOR PROGRAMS UNDER THIS PART.

       ``(a) Agency Subgrants.--Based on the allocation amount 
     computed under section 1412, the Secretary shall allocate to

     in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is of the lowest average 
     per-pupil expenditure of any of the 50 States; and
       ``(B) 32 percent of the average per-pupil expenditure in

     are eligible under such subsections, the Secretary shall 
     ratably reduce each such amount.

       ``If a State educational agency determines that a State 
     agency does not need the full amount of the subgrant for 
     which such State agency is eligible under this part for any 
     fiscal year, the State educational agency may reallocate the 
     amount that will not be needed to other eligible State 
     agencies that need additional funds to carry out the purpose

   ``TITLE II--DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

     ``SEC. 2001. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(1) Reaching the National Education Goals, particularly 
     the third, fourth, and fifth National Education Goals, 
     requires a comprehensive educational reform strategy that 
     involves parents, schools, government, communities, and other 
     public and private organizations at all levels.
       ``(2) A crucial component of the strategy for achieving 
     such goals is ensuring, through sustained and intensive high-
     quality professional development, that all teachers will 
     provide challenging learning experiences in the core academic 
     subjects for their students.
       ``(3) Decisionmaking as to what activities a State or local 
     educational agency should undertake to improve teaching and 
     learning are best made by individuals in the schools closest 
     to the classroom and most knowledgeable about the needs of 
     schools and students.
       ``(4) The potential positive impact of high-quality 
     professional development is underscored by recent research 
     findings that--
       ``(A) professional development must be focused on teaching 
     and learning in order to improve the opportunities of all 
     students to achieve higher standards;
       ``(B) effective professional development focuses on 
     discipline-based knowledge and effective subject-specific 
     pedagogical skills, involves teams of teachers, and, where 
     appropriate, administrators and pupil services personnel, in 
     a school and, through professional networks of teachers, and, 
     where appropriate, teacher educators, administrators, pupil 
     services personnel, and parents, is interactive and 
     collaborative, motivates by its intrinsic content and 
     relationship to practice, builds on experience and learning-
     by-doing, and becomes incorporated into the everyday life of 
     the school;
       ``(C) professional development can dramatically improve 
     classroom instruction and learning when teachers, and, where 
     appropriate, administrators, pupil services personnel, and 
     parents, are partners in the development and implementation 
     of such professional development; and
       ``(D) new and innovative strategies for teaching to high 
     standards will require time for teachers, outside of the time 
     spent teaching, for instruction, practice, and collegial 
     collaboration.
       ``(5) Special attention must be given in professional 
     development activities to ensure that education professionals 
     are knowledgeable of, and make use of, strategies for serving 
     populations that historically have lacked access to equal 
     opportunities for advanced learning and career advancement.
       ``(6) Professional development is often a victim of budget 
     reductions in fiscally difficult times.
       ``(7) The Federal Government has a vital role in helping 
     States and local educational agencies to make sustained and 
     intensive high-quality professional development in the core 
     academic subjects become an integral part of the elementary 
     and secondary education system.
       ``(8) Professional development activities must prepare 
     teachers, pupil services personnel, paraprofessionals and 
     other staff in the collaborative skills needed to 
     appropriately teach children with disabilities, in the core 
     academic subjects.
       ``(9) Parental involvement is an important aspect of school 
     reform and improvement. There is a need for special attention 
     to ensure the effective involvement of parents in the 
     education of their children. Professional development should 
     include methods and strategies to better prepare teachers 
     and, where appropriate, administrators, to enable parents to 
     participate fully and effectively in their children's 
     education.

       ``(1) Short title.--This section may be cited as the 
     `National Teacher Training Project Act of 1994'.
       ``(2) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(A) teachers must be major players in educational reform 
     in the United States;
       ``(B) teachers are isolated from their peers and have 
     virtually no time during the school day to consult with other 
     teachers;
       ``(C) there is a shortage of sustained, year-round 
     professional development programs for teachers;
       ``(D) successful teaching methods are not adequately shared 
     among teachers;
       ``(E) teachers are the best teachers of other teachers 
     because practicing classroom teachers have experience that no 
     outside consultant can match;
       ``(F) it is important for universities and schools to 
     collaborate on teacher development programs if teaching and 
     learning are to be improved;
       ``(G) pertinent research is not shared among teachers in a 
     professional setting;
       ``(H) exemplary teachers should be recognized for their 
     abilities and contributions and encouraged to refine their 
     teaching methods;
       ``(I) each State should support a nationally based teacher 
     training program, that is modeled after the National Writing 
     Project, for teachers of early childhood education, and for 
     teachers of core academic subjects including teachers of 
     mathematics, science, English, civics and government, foreign 
     languages, and arts;
       ``(J) the National Writing Project is a nationally 
     recognized and honored nonprofit organization that recognizes 
     there are teachers in every region of the United States who 
     have developed successful methods for teaching writing and 
     that such teachers can be trained and encouraged to train 
     other teachers;
       ``(K) the National Writing Project is a collaborative 
     university-school program which offers summer and school year 
     inservice teacher training programs and a dissemination 
     network to inform and teach teachers regarding developments 
     in the field of writing;
       ``(L) each year, over 125,000 teachers voluntarily seek 
     training in National Writing Project intensive summer 
     institutes and workshops and school year inservice programs 
     through one of the 155 sites located within the United 
     States, and in 18 sites located outside of the United States;
       ``(M) in the 20 years of its existence, over 1,100,000 
     teachers, administrators, and parents have participated in 
     National Writing Project programs;
       ``(N) less than $16 per teacher was the average cost in 
     Federal dollars for all teacher training at writing projects 
     in academic year 1991-1992;
       ``(O) for every dollar in Federal support, the National 
     Writing Project provides over $5 in matching funds from 
     States, local universities and schools, and the private 
     sector;
       ``(P) private foundation resources, although generous in 
     the past concerning National Writing Project programs, are 
     inadequate to fund all of the National Teacher Training 
     Project sites needed, and the future of the program is in 
     jeopardy without secure financial support;
       ``(Q) the National Writing Project has become a model for 
     programs in other fields, such as science, mathematics, 
     history, literature, foreign languages, and the performing 
     arts, and the development of programs in other fields should 
     continue with the support of Federal funds; and
       ``(R) each of the 50 States should participate in the 
     National Teacher Training Project by establishing regional 
     teacher training sites in early childhood development, 
     mathematics, science, English, civics and government, foreign 
     languages, and arts to serve all teachers within the State.

        ``PART C--PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

     ``SEC. 2301. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) underlying the standards-driven framework of the 
     Goals 2000: Educate America Act and the high academic 
     standards for eligible students under title I is a widespread 
     need to prepare teachers to teach to higher standards;
       ``(2) prospective and current teachers need knowledge and 
     skills beyond what such teachers currently possess;
       ``(3) while both the Goals 2000: Educate America Act and 
     titles I and II of this Act have extensive references to 
     professional development of teachers, there are no provisions 
     to incorporate `on-the-ground' planning and implementation to 
     serve as models for local educational agencies across the 
     Nation; and
       ``(4) better prepared teachers can lead to improved student 
     achievement, especially for students who are furthest from 
     reaching high standards.
       ``(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this part--
       ``(1) to address the need for professional development with 
     a primary focus on teachers;
       ``(2) to provide both prospective teachers and current 
     teachers opportunities to learn both the content and the 
     pedagogy needed to teach to high standards; and
       ``(3) to build models, in a few cities and States, that 
     demonstrate new organizational arrangements and deep 
     investments in teachers necessary to better prepare teachers 
     for new standards and assessments.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) technology can produce far greater opportunities for 
     all students to learn to high standards, promote efficiency 
     and effectiveness in education, and help propel our Nation's 
     school systems into very immediate and dramatic reform, 
     without which our Nation will not meet the National Education 
     Goals by the target year 2000;
       ``(2) the use of technology as a tool in the teaching and 
     learning process is essential to the development and 
     maintenance of a technologically literate citizenry and an 
     internationally competitive workforce;
       ``(3) the acquisition and use of technology in education 
     throughout the United States has been inhibited by--

       ``(B) the inability of many State and local educational

     student's learning style, and in which students have 
     increased opportunities to develop higher order thinking and

     eligible to receive under paragraph (2)(B) for such year, the 
     Secretary shall ratably reduce the allotment to such agencies 
     for such year.

     out this part shall be available for reallotment from time to

         ``TITLE IV--SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES

     ``SEC. 4001. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This title may be cited as the `Safe and Drug-Free 
     Schools and Communities Act of 1994'.

     ``SEC. 4002. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(1) The seventh National Education Goal provides that by 
     the year 2000, all schools in America will be free of drugs 
     and violence and the unauthorized presence of firearms and 
     alcohol, and offer a disciplined environment that is 
     conducive to learning.
       ``(2) The widespread illegal use of alcohol and other drugs 
     among the Nation's secondary school students, and 
     increasingly by students in elementary schools as well, 
     constitutes a grave threat to such students' physical and 
     mental well-being, and significantly impedes the learning 
     process. For example, data show that students who drink tend 
     to receive lower grades and are more likely to miss school 
     because of illness than students who do not drink.
       ``(3) Our Nation's schools and communities are increasingly 
     plagued by violence and crime. Approximately 3,000,000 thefts 
     and violent crimes occur in or near our Nation's schools 
     every year, the equivalent of more than 16,000 incidents per 
     school day.
       ``(4) Violence that is linked to prejudice and intolerance 
     victimizes entire communities leading to more violence and 
     discrimination.
       ``(5) The tragic consequences of violence and the illegal 
     use of alcohol and drugs by students are felt not only by 
     students and such students' families, but by such students' 
     communities and the Nation, which can ill afford to lose such 
     students' skills, talents, and vitality.
       ``(6) While use of illegal drugs is a serious problem among 
     a minority of teenagers, alcohol use is far more widespread. 
     The proportion of high school students using alcohol, though 
     lower than a decade ago, remains unacceptably high. By the 
     8th grade, 70 percent of youth report having tried alcohol 
     and by the 12th grade, about 88 percent have used alcohol. 
     Alcohol use by young people can and does have adverse 
     consequences for users, their families, communities, schools, 
     and colleges.
       ``(7) Alcohol and tobacco are widely used by young people. 
     Such use can, and does, have adverse consequences for young 
     people, their families, communities, schools, and colleges. 
     Drug prevention programs for youth that address only 
     controlled drugs send an erroneous message that alcohol and 
     tobacco do not present significant problems, or that society 
     is willing to overlook their use. To be credible, messages 
     opposing illegal drug use by youth should address alcohol and 
     tobacco as well.
       ``(8) Every day approximately 3,000 children start smoking. 
     Thirty percent of all secondary school seniors are smokers. 
     Half of all new smokers begin smoking before the age of 14, 
     90 percent of such smokers begin before the age of 21, and 
     the average age of the first use of smokeless tobacco is 
     under the age of 10. Use of tobacco products has been linked 
     to serious health problems. Drug education and prevention 
     programs that include tobacco have been effective in reducing 
     teenage use of tobacco.
       ``(9) Drug and violence prevention programs are essential 
     components of a comprehensive strategy to promote school 
     safety and to reduce the demand for and use of drugs 
     throughout the Nation. Schools and local organizations in 
     communities throughout the Nation have a special 
     responsibility to work together to combat the growing 
     epidemic of violence and illegal drug use and should measure 
     the success of their programs against clearly defined goals 
     and objectives.
       ``(10) Students must take greater responsibility for their 
     own well-being, health, and safety if schools and communities 
     are to achieve the goals of providing a safe, disciplined, 
     and drug-free learning environment.

     ``SEC. 4003. PURPOSE.

       ``The purpose of this title is to support programs to meet 
     the seventh National Education Goal by preventing violence in 
     and around schools and by strengthening programs that prevent 
     the illegal use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, involve 
     parents, and are coordinated with related Federal, State, and 
     community efforts and resources, through the provision of 
     Federal assistance to--

     drug and violence prevention, early intervention, 
     rehabilitation referral, and education in elementary and 
     secondary schools (including intermediate and junior high 
     schools);

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) magnet schools are a significant part of our Nation's 
     effort to achieve voluntary desegregation in our Nation's 
     schools;
       ``(2) the use of magnet schools has increased dramatically 
     since the date of enactment of the Magnet Schools Assistance 
     program, with approximately 1,400,000 students nationwide now 
     attending such schools, of which more than 60 percent of the 
     students are nonwhite;
       ``(3) magnet schools offer a wide range of distinctive 
     programs that have served as models for school improvement 
     efforts;
       ``(4) in administering the Magnet Schools Assistance 
     program, the Federal Government has learned that--
       ``(A) where magnet programs are implemented for only a 
     portion of a school's student body, special efforts must be 
     made to discourage the isolation of--
       ``(i) magnet school students from other students in the 
     school; and
       ``(ii) students by racial characteristics;
       ``(B) local educational agencies can maximize their 
     effectiveness in achieving the purposes of the Magnet Schools 
     Assistance program if such agencies have more flexibility in 
     the administration of such program in order to serve students 
     attending a school who are not enrolled in the magnet school 
     program;
       ``(C) local educational agencies must be creative in 
     designing magnet schools for students at all academic levels, 
     so that school districts do not skim off only the highest 
     achieving students to attend the magnet schools;
       ``(D) consistent with desegregation guidelines, local 
     educational agencies must seek to enable participation in 
     magnet school programs by students who reside in the 
     neighborhoods where the programs operate; and
       ``(E) in order to ensure that magnet schools are sustained 
     after Federal funding ends, the Federal Government must 
     assist school districts to improve their capacity to continue 
     to operate magnet schools at a high level of performance; and
       ``(5) it is in the best interest of the Federal Government 
     to--
       ``(A) continue the Federal Government's support of school 
     districts implementing court-ordered desegregation plans and 
     school districts seeking to foster meaningful interaction 
     among students of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, 
     beginning at the earliest stage of such students' education;
       ``(B) ensure that all students have equitable access to 
     quality education that will prepare such students to function 
     well in a culturally diverse, technologically oriented, and 
     highly competitive, global community; and
       ``(C) maximize the ability of local educational agencies to 
     plan, develop, implement and continue effective and 
     innovative magnet schools that contribute to State and local 
     systemic reform.

     ``SEC. 5201. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

       ``(a) Short Title.--This part may be cited as the `Women's 
     Educational Equity Act of 1994'.
       ``(b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) since the enactment of title IX of the Education 
     Amendments of 1972, women and girls have made strides in 
     educational achievement and in their ability to avail 
     themselves of educational opportunities;
       ``(2) because of funding provided under the Women's 
     Educational Equity Act, more curricula, training, and other 
     educational materials concerning educational equity for women 
     and girls are available for national dissemination;
       ``(3) teaching and learning practices in the United States 
     are frequently inequitable as such practices relate to women 
     and girls, for example--
       ``(A) sexual harassment, particularly that experienced by 
     girls, undermines the ability of schools to provide a safe 
     and equitable learning or workplace environment;
       ``(B) classroom textbooks and other educational materials 
     do not sufficiently reflect the experiences, achievements, or 
     concerns of women and, in most cases, are not written by 
     women or persons of color;
       ``(C) girls do not take as many mathematics and science 
     courses as boys, girls lose confidence in their mathematics 
     and science ability as girls move through adolescence, and 
     there are few women role models in the sciences; and
       ``(D) pregnant and parenting teenagers are at high risk for 
     dropping out of school and existing dropout prevention 
     programs do not adequately address the needs of such 
     teenagers;
       ``(4) efforts to improve the quality of public education 
     also must include efforts to ensure equal access to quality 
     education programs for all women and girls;
       ``(5) Federal support should address not only research and 
     development of innovative model curricula and teaching and 
     learning strategies to promote gender equity, but should also 
     assist schools and local communities implement gender 
     equitable practices;
       ``(6) Federal assistance for gender equity must be tied to 
     systemic reform, involve collaborative efforts to implement 
     effective gender practices at the local level, and encourage 
     parental participation; and
       ``(7) excellence in education, high educational 
     achievements and standards, and the full participation of 
     women and girls in American society, cannot be achieved 
     without educational equity for women and girls.

     ``SEC. 6001. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that chapter 2 of title 
     I of this Act (as such chapter was in effect on the day 
     preceding the date of enactment of the Improving America's 
     Schools Act of 1994) has been successful in achieving the 
     goals of increasing local flexibility, reducing 
     administrative burden, providing services for private school 
     students, encouraging innovation, and contributing to the 
     improvement of elementary and secondary educational programs.
       ``(b) Statement of Purpose.--It is the purpose of programs 
     under this title:
       ``(1) to support local education reform efforts which are 
     consistent with and support statewide reform efforts under 
     Goals 2000: Educate America Act;
       ``(2) to support State and local efforts to accomplish the 
     National Education Goals;
       ``(3) to provide funding to enable State and local 
     educational agencies to implement promising educational 
     reform programs;
       ``(4) to provide a continuing source of innovation, and 
     educational improvement, including support for library 
     services and instructional and media materials; and
       ``(5) to meet the special educational needs of at risk and 
     high cost students.
       ``(c) State and Local Responsibility.--The basic 
     responsibility for the administration of funds made available 
     under this title is within the State educational agencies, 
     but it is the intent of Congress that the responsibility be 
     carried out with a minimum of paperwork and that the 
     responsibility for the design and implementation of programs 
     assisted under this title will be mainly that of local 
     educational agencies, school superintendents and principals, 
     and classroom teachers and supporting personnel, because such 
     agencies and individuals have the most direct contact with 
     students and are most likely to be able to design programs to 
     meet the educational needs of students in their own school 
     districts.

       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), a 
     State is entitled to receive its full allocation of funds 
     under this part for any fiscal year if the Secretary finds 
     that either the combined fiscal effort per student or the 
     aggregate expenditures within the State with respect to the 
     provision of free public education for the fiscal year 
     preceding the fiscal year for which the determination is made 
     was not less than 90 percent of such combined fiscal effort 
     or aggregate expenditures for the second fiscal year 
     preceding the fiscal year for which the determination is 
     made.

     educational agency may use and allocate funds received under 
     this part only so as to supplement and, to the extent 
     practical, increase the level of funds that would, in the 
     absence of Federal funds made available under this part, be 
     made available from non-Federal sources, and in no case may 
     such funds be used so as to supplant funds from non-Federal

     concentrate programs or projects on a particular group, 
     attendance area, or grade or age level, children enrolled in 
     private schools who are included within the group, attendance 
     area, or grade or age level selected for such concentration

     purposes provided in this title, and a public agency shall 
     administer such funds and property.

     which, in the provision of such services, is independent of

     supervision of such public agency, and the funds provided 
     under this title shall not be commingled with State or local 
     funds.

     provision of law a State or local educational agency is 
     prohibited from providing for the participation in programs 
     of children enrolled in private elementary and secondary 
     schools, as required by this section, the Secretary shall 
     waive such requirements and shall arrange for the provision 
     of services to such children through arrangements which shall 
     be subject to the requirements of this section.

     a State or a local educational agency has substantially 
     failed or is unwilling to provide for the participation on an 
     equitable basis of children enrolled in private elementary

     ``SEC. 7101. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Bilingual Education Act'.

     ``SEC. 7102. FINDINGS, POLICY, AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) language-minority Americans speak virtually all world 
     languages plus many that are indigenous to the United States;
       ``(2) there are large and growing numbers of children and 
     youth of limited-English proficiency, many of whom have a 
     cultural heritage that differs from that of their English-
     proficient peers;
       ``(3) the presence of language-minority Americans is 
     related in part to Federal immigration policies;
       ``(4) many language-minority Americans are limited in their 
     English proficiency, and many have limited education and 
     income;
       ``(5) limited English proficient children and youth face a 
     number of challenges in receiving an education that will 
     enable such children and youth to participate fully in 
     American society, including--
       ``(A) segregated education programs;
       ``(B) disproportionate and improper placement in special 
     education and other special programs due to the use of 
     inappropriate evaluation procedures;
       ``(C) the limited-English proficiency of their own parents, 
     which hinders the parents' ability to fully participate in 
     the education of their children; and
       ``(D) a shortage of teachers and other staff who are 
     professionally trained and qualified to serve such children 
     and youth;
       ``(6) Native Americans and Native American languages (as 
     such terms are defined in section 103 of the Native American 
     Languages Act), including native residents of the outlying 
     areas, have a unique status under Federal law that requires 
     special policies within the broad purposes of this Act to 
     serve the education needs of language minority students in 
     the United States;
       ``(7) institutions of higher education can assist in 
     preparing teachers, administrators and other school personnel 
     to understand and build upon the educational strengths and 
     needs of language-minority and culturally diverse student 
     enrollments;
       ``(8) it is the purpose of this title to help ensure that 
     limited English proficient students master English and 
     develop high levels of academic attainment in content areas;
       ``(9) quality bilingual education programs enable children 
     and youth to learn English and meet high academic standards 
     including proficiency in more than one language;
       ``(10) as the world becomes increasingly interdependent and 
     as international communication becomes a daily occurrence in 
     government, business, commerce, and family life, multilingual 
     skills constitute an important national resource which 
     deserves protection and development;
       ``(11) educational technology has the potential for 
     improving the education of language-minority and limited 
     English proficient students and their families, and the 
     Federal Government should foster this development;
       ``(12) parent and community participation in bilingual 
     education programs contributes to program effectiveness;
       ``(13) research, evaluation, and data-collection 
     capabilities in the field of bilingual education need to be 
     strengthened so that educators and other staff can better 
     identify and promote those programs, program implementation 
     strategies, and instructional practices that result in 
     effective education of limited English proficient children;
       ``(14) the use of a child or youth's native language and 
     culture in classroom instruction can--
       ``(A) promote self-esteem and contribute to academic 
     achievement and learning English by limited English 
     proficient children and youth;
       ``(B) benefit English-proficient children and youth who 
     also participate in such programs; and
       ``(C) develop our Nation's national language resources, 
     thus promoting our Nation's competitiveness in the global

     Secretary may award grants under this subpart for special 
     alternative instructional programs if an applicant has

     students' native languages and the small number of students 
     speaking each respective language makes bilingual education 
     impractical.

     local and State educational agency, or businesses.

     consideration to applications providing training for 
     personnel participating in or preparing to participate in the

     ``SEC. 7201. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Foreign Language 
     Assistance Act of 1994'.

     ``SEC. 7202. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds as follows:
       ``(1) Foreign language proficiency is crucial to our 
     Nation's economic competitiveness and national security. 
     Significant improvement in the quantity and quality of 
     foreign language instruction offered in our Nation's 
     elementary and secondary schools is necessary.
       ``(2) All Americans need a global perspective. To 
     understand the world around us, we must acquaint ourselves 
     with the languages, cultures, and history of other nations.
       ``(3) Proficiency in two or more languages should be 
     promoted for all American students. Multilingualism enhances 
     cognitive and social growth, competitiveness in the global 
     marketplace, national security, and understanding of diverse 
     people and cultures.
       ``(4) The United States lags behind other developed 
     countries in offering foreign language study to elementary 
     and secondary school students.
       ``(5) Four out of five new jobs in the United States are 
     created from foreign trade.
       ``(6) The optimum time to begin learning a second language 
     is in elementary school, when children have the ability to 
     learn and excel in several foreign language acquisition 
     skills, including pronunciation, and when children are most 
     open to appreciating and valuing a culture other than their 
     own.
       ``(7) Foreign language study can increase childrens' 
     capacity for critical and creative thinking skills and 
     children who study a second language show greater cognitive 
     development in areas such as mental flexibility, creativity, 
     tolerance, and higher order thinking skills.
       ``(8) Children who have studied a foreign language in 
     elementary school achieve expected gains and score higher on 
     standardized tests of reading, language arts, and mathematics 
     than children who have not studied a foreign language.

     ``SEC. 7203. PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

       ``(a) Program Authority.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall make grants, on a 
     competitive basis, to State educational agencies or local 
     educational agencies to pay the Federal share of the cost of 
     innovative model programs providing for the establishment, 
     improvement or expansion of foreign language study for 
     elementary and secondary school students.
       ``(2) Duration.--Each grant under paragraph (1) shall be 
     awarded for a period of three years.

     approaches to improving foreign language learning in the 
     State.

     grant under subsection (a) to a local educational agency, the 
     Secretary shall support programs that--

     period;
       ``(B) demonstrate approaches that can be disseminated and 
     duplicated in other local educational agencies; and
       ``(C) may include a professional development component.
       ``(c) Federal Share.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Federal share for each fiscal year 
     shall be 50 percent.
       ``(2) Waiver.--The Secretary may waive the requirement of 
     paragraph (1) for any local educational agency which the 
     Secretary determines does not have adequate resources to pay 
     the non-Federal share of the cost of the activities assisted 
     under this part.
       ``(3) Special rule.--Not less than three-fourths of the 
     funds appropriated under section 7206 shall be used for the 
     expansion of foreign language learning in the elementary 
     grades.

     for professional development;
       ``(2) link non-native English speakers in the community 
     with the schools in order to promote two-way language 
     learning; or

     ``SEC. 7205. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOREIGN LANGUAGE INCENTIVE 
                   PROGRAM.

       ``(a) Incentive Payments.--From amounts appropriated under 
     section 7206 the Secretary shall make an incentive payment 
     for each fiscal year to each public elementary school that 
     provides to students attending such school a program designed 
     to lead to communicative competency in a foreign language.
       ``(b) Amount.--The Secretary shall determine the amount of 
     the incentive payment under subsection (a) for each public 
     elementary school for each fiscal year on the basis of the 
     number of students participating in a program described in 
     such subsection at such school for such year compared to the 
     total number of such students at all such schools in the 
     United States for such year.

     that provides not less than 45 minutes of instruction in a 
     foreign language not less than four days per week throughout 
     an academic year.

            ``PART C--EMERGENCY IMMIGRANT EDUCATION PROGRAM

     ``SEC. 7301. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the education of our Nation's children and youth is 
     one of the most sacred government responsibilities;
       ``(2) local educational agencies have struggled to fund 
     adequately education services;
       ``(3) in the case of Plyler v. Doe, the Supreme Court held 
     that States have a responsibility under the Equal Protection 
     Clause of the Constitution to educate all children, 
     regardless of immigration status; and
       ``(4) immigration policy is solely a responsibility of the 
     Federal Government.
       ``(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this part is to assist 
     eligible local educational agencies that experience 
     unexpectedly large increases in their student population due 
     to immigration to--
       ``(1) provide high-quality instruction to immigrant 
     children and youth; and
       ``(2) help such children and youth--
       ``(A) with their transition into American society; and
       ``(B) meet the same challenging State performance standards 
     expected of all children and youth.

     ``SEC. 7302. STATE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.

       ``For any fiscal year, a State educational agency may 
     reserve not more than 1.5 percent of the amount allocated to 
     such agency under section 7304 to pay the costs of performing 
     such agency's administrative functions under this part.

     ``SEC. 7303. WITHHOLDING.

       ``Whenever the Secretary, after providing reasonable notice 
     and opportunity for a hearing to any State educational 
     agency, finds that there is a failure to meet the requirement 
     of any provision of this part, the Secretary shall notify 
     that agency that further payments will not be made to the 
     agency under this part, or in the discretion of the 
     Secretary, that the State educational agency shall not make 
     further payments under this part to specified local 
     educational agencies whose actions cause or are involved in 
     such failure until the Secretary is satisfied that there is 
     no longer any such failure to comply. Until the Secretary is 
     so satisfied, no further payments shall be made to the State 
     educational agency under this part, or payments by the State 
     educational agency under this part shall be limited to local 
     educational agencies whose actions did not cause or were not 
     involved in the failure, as the case may be.

     ``SEC. 7304. STATE ALLOCATIONS.

       ``(a) Payments.--The Secretary shall, in accordance with 
     the provisions of this section, make payments to State 
     educational agencies for each of the fiscal years 1995 
     through 1999 for the purpose set forth in section 7301(b).
       ``(b) Allocations.--
       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in subsections (c) 
     and (d), of the amount appropriated for each fiscal year for 
     this part,

[[Page 2155]]

     each State participating in the program assisted under this 
     part shall receive an allocation equal to the proportion of 
     such State's number of immigrant children and youth who are 
     enrolled in public elementary or secondary schools under the 
     jurisdiction of each local educational agency described in 
     paragraph (2) within such State, and in nonpublic elementary 
     or secondary schools within the district served by each such 
     local educational agency, relative to the total number of 
     immigrant children and youth so enrolled in all the States 
     participating in the program assisted under this part.
       ``(2) Eligible local educational agencies.--The local 
     educational agencies referred to in paragraph (1) are those 
     local educational agencies in which the sum of the number of 
     immigrant children and youth who are enrolled in public 
     elementary or secondary schools under the jurisdiction of 
     such agencies, and in nonpublic elementary or secondary 
     schools within the districts served by such agencies, during 
     the fiscal year for which the payments are to be made under 
     this part, is equal to--
       ``(A) at least 500; or
       ``(B) at least 3 percent of the total number of students 
     enrolled in such public or nonpublic schools during such 
     fiscal year,
     whichever number is less.
       ``(c) Determinations of Number of Children and Youth.--
       ``(1) In general.--Determinations by the Secretary under 
     this section for any period with respect to the number of 
     immigrant children and youth shall be made on the basis of 
     data or estimates provided to the Secretary by each State 
     educational agency in accordance with criteria established by 
     the Secretary, unless the Secretary determines, after notice 
     and opportunity for a hearing to the affected State 
     educational agency, that such data or estimates are clearly 
     erroneous.
       ``(2) Special rule.--No such determination with respect to 
     the number of immigrant children and youth shall operate 
     because of an underestimate or overestimate to deprive any 
     State educational agency of the allocation under this section 
     that such State would otherwise have received had such 
     determination been made on the basis of accurate data.
       ``(d) Reallocation.--Whenever the Secretary determines that 
     any amount of a payment made to a State under this part for a 
     fiscal year will not be used by such State for carrying out 
     the purpose for which the payment was made, the Secretary 
     shall make such amount available for carrying out such 
     purpose to one or more other States to the extent the 
     Secretary determines that such other States will be able to 
     use such additional amount for carrying out such purpose. Any 
     amount made available to a State from any appropriation for a 
     fiscal year in accordance with the preceding sentence shall, 
     for purposes of this part, be regarded as part of such 
     State's payment (as determined under subsection (b)) for such 
     year, but shall remain available until the end of the 
     succeeding fiscal year.

     this part, if the amount appropriated to carry out this part 
     exceeds $50,000,000 for a fiscal year, a State educational 
     agency may reserve not more than 20 percent of such agency's 
     payment under this part for such year to award grants, on a 
     competitive basis, to local educational agencies within the 
     State as follows:
       ``(A) At least one-half of such grants shall be made 
     available to eligible local educational agencies (as 
     described in subsection (b)(2)) within the State with the 
     highest numbers and percentages of immigrant children and 
     youth.
       ``(B) Funds reserved under this paragraph and not made 
     available under subparagraph (A) may be distributed to local 
     educational agencies within the State experiencing a sudden 
     influx of immigrant children and youth which are otherwise 
     not eligible for assistance under this part.
       ``(2) Use of grant funds.--Each local educational agency 
     receiving a grant under paragraph (1) shall use such grant 
     funds to carry out the activities described in section 7307.
       ``(3) Information.--Local educational agencies with the 
     highest number of immigrant children and youth receiving 
     funds under paragraph (1) may make information available on 
     serving immigrant children and youth to local educational 
     agencies in the State with sparse numbers of such children.

     any fiscal year with respect to any Indian tribe from which 
     such agency has received a written statement that the agency 
     need not comply with those subsections because the tribe is

     agency to such children.
       ``(d) Technical Assistance and Enforcement.--The Secretary 
     shall--
       ``(1) provide technical assistance to local educational

     bear only its own costs in the proceedings.

     completion of the hearing, the hearing examiner shall, on the 
     basis of the record, make written findings of fact and

       ``(8) Withholding.--If the local educational agency rejects 
     the determination of the Secretary, or if the remedy required 
     is not undertaken within the time established and the 
     Secretary determines that an extension of the time 
     established will not effectively encourage the remedy 
     required, the Secretary shall withhold payment of all moneys 
     to which such local agency is eligible under section 8003 
     until such time as the remedy required is undertaken, except 
     where the complaining tribe or its designee formally requests 
     that such funds be released to the local educational agency, 
     except that the Secretary may not withhold such moneys during 
     the course of the school year if the Secretary determines 
     that such withholding would substantially disrupt the 
     educational programs of the local educational agency.

     agency rejects the determination of the Secretary and a tribe 
     exercises the option under section 1101(d) of the Education 
     Amendments of 1978, to have education services provided 
     either directly by the Bureau of Indian Affairs or by 
     contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, any Indian 
     students affiliated with that tribe who wish to remain in 
     attendance at the local educational agency against whom the 
     complaint which led to the tribal action under such 
     subsection (d) was lodged may be counted with respect to that 
     local educational agency for the purpose of receiving funds 
     under section 8003. In such event, funds under such section 
     shall not be withheld pursuant to paragraph (8) and no 
     further complaints with respect to such students may be filed 
     under paragraph (1).

     relationship between the Indian nations and the United States 
     and nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve any 
     State of any duty with respect to any citizens of that State.

                       ``PART A--INDIAN EDUCATION

     ``SEC. 9101. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the Federal Government has a special responsibility 
     to ensure that educational programs for all American Indian 
     and Alaska Native children and adults--
       ``(A) are based on high-quality, internationally 
     competitive content standards and student performance 
     standards and build on Indian culture and the Indian 
     community;
       ``(B) assist local educational agencies, Indian tribes, and 
     other entities and individuals in providing Indian students 
     the opportunity to achieve such standards; and
       ``(C) meet the special educational and culturally related 
     academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students;
       ``(2) since the date of enactment of the initial Indian 
     Education Act in 1972, the level of involvement of Indian 
     parents in the planning, development, and implementation of 
     educational programs that affect such parents and their 
     children has increased significantly, and schools should 
     continue to foster such involvement;
       ``(3) although the number of Indian teachers, 
     administrators, and university professors has increased since 
     1972, teacher training programs are not recruiting, training, 
     or retraining a sufficient number of Indian individuals as 
     educators to meet the needs of a growing Indian student 
     population in elementary, secondary, vocational, adult, and 
     higher education;
       ``(4) the dropout rate for Indian students is unacceptably 
     high, for example, 9 percent of Indian students who were 
     eighth graders in 1988 had already dropped out of school by 
     1990;
       ``(5) during the period from 1980 to 1990, the percentage 
     of Indian individuals living at or below the poverty level 
     increased from 24 percent to 31 percent, and the readiness of 
     Indian children to learn is hampered by the high incidence of 
     poverty, unemployment, and health problems among Indian 
     children and their families; and
       ``(6) research related specifically to the education of 
     Indian children and adults is very limited, and much of the 
     research is of poor quality or is focused on limited local or 
     regional issues.

     academic needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, so 
     that such students can achieve to the same challenging State 
     performance standards expected of all students.

     such agency's expenditures for the fiscal year preceding the

     ``SEC. 9201. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Native Hawaiian Education 
     Act'.

     ``SEC. 9202. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds and declares as follows:
       ``(1) Native Hawaiians are a distinct and unique indigenous 
     people with a historical continuity to the original 
     inhabitants of the Hawaiian archipelago, whose society was 
     organized as a nation and internationally recognized as such 
     by the United States, Britain, France and Japan, as evidenced 
     by trea- 

[[Page 2170]]

     ties governing friendship, commerce, and navigation.
       ``(2) At the time of the arrival of the first non-
     indigenous people in Hawai`i in 1778, the Native Hawaiian 
     people lived in a highly organized, self-sufficient 
     subsistence social system based on a communal land tenure 
     system with a sophisticated language, culture, and religion.
       ``(3) A unified monarchial government of the Hawaiian 
     Islands was established in 1810 under Kamehameha I, the first 
     King of Hawai`i.
       ``(4) From 1826 until 1893, the United States recognized 
     the sovereignty and independence of the Kingdom of Hawai`i, 
     which was established in 1810 under Kamehameha I, extended 
     full and complete diplomatic recognition to the Kingdom of 
     Hawai`i, and entered into treaties and conventions with the 
     Kingdom of Hawai`i to govern friendship, commerce and 
     navigation in 1826, 1842, 1849, 1875, and 1887.
       ``(5) In 1893, the sovereign, independent, internationally 
     recognized, and indigenous government of Hawai`i, the Kingdom 
     of Hawai`i, was overthrown by a small group of non-Hawaiians, 
     including United States citizens, who were assisted in their 
     efforts by the United States Minister, a United States naval 
     representative, and armed naval forces of the United States. 
     Because of the participation of United States agents and 
     citizens in the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai`i, the 
     Congress, on behalf of the people of the United States, 
     apologized to Native Hawaiians for the overthrow and the 
     deprivation of the rights of Native Hawaiians to self-
     determination through Public Law 103-150 (107 Stat. 1510).
       ``(6) In 1898, the joint resolution entitled `A Joint 
     Resolution to provide for annexing the Hawaiian Islands to 
     the United States', approved July 7, 1898 (30 Stat. 750), 
     ceded absolute title of all lands held by the Republic of 
     Hawai`i, including the government and crown lands of the 
     former Kingdom of Hawai`i, to the United States, but mandated 
     that revenue generated from these lands be used `solely for 
     the benefit of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands for 
     educational and other public purposes'.
       ``(7) By 1919, the Native Hawaiian population had declined 
     from an estimated 1,000,000 in 1778 to an alarming 22,600, 
     and in recognition of this severe decline, the Congress in 
     1921 enacted the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, which 
     designated approximately 200,000 acres of ceded public lands 
     for homesteading by Native Hawaiians.
       ``(8) Through the enactment of the Hawaiian Homes 
     Commission Act, 1920, the Congress affirmed the special 
     relationship between the United States and the Native 
     Hawaiians, as expressed by then Secretary of the Interior 
     Franklin K. Lane, who was quoted in the committee report for 
     the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as saying: `One 
     thing that impressed me . . . was the fact that the natives 
     of the island who are our wards, I should say, and for whom 
     in a sense we are trustees, are falling off rapidly in 
     numbers and many of them are in poverty.'.
       ``(9) In 1938, the United States Congress again 
     acknowledged the unique status of the Hawaiian people by 
     including in the Act of June 20, 1938 (52 Stat. 781 et seq.), 
     a provision to lease lands within the National Parks 
     extension to Native Hawaiians and to permit fishing in the 
     area `only by native Hawaiian residents of said area or of 
     adjacent villages and by visitors under their guidance.'.
       ``(10) Under the Act entitled `An Act to provide for the 
     admission of the State of Hawai`i into the Union' Approved 
     March 18, 1959 (73 Stat. 4), the United States transferred 
     responsibility for the administration of the Hawaiian Home 
     Lands to the State of Hawai`i but reaffirmed the trust 
     relationship which existed between the United States and the 
     Hawaiian people by retaining the exclusive power to enforce 
     the trust, including the power to approve land exchanges and 
     legislative amendments affecting the rights of beneficiaries 
     under such Act.
       ``(11) In 1959, under the Act entitled `An Act to provide 
     for the admission of the State of Hawai`i into the Union', 
     approved March 18, 1959 (73 Stat. 4), the United States ceded 
     to the State of Hawai`i title to the public lands formerly 
     held by the United States, but mandated that such lands be 
     held by the State `in public trust' and reaffirmed the 
     special relationship which existed between the United States 
     and the Hawaiian people by retaining the legal responsibility 
     to enforce the public trust responsibility of the State of 
     Hawai`i for the betterment of the conditions of Native 
     Hawaiians, as defined in section 201(a) of the Hawaiian Homes 
     Commission Act, 1920.
       ``(12) The United States assumed special responsibilities 
     for Native Hawaiian lands and resources at the time of the 
     annexation of the Territory in 1898, upon adoption of the 
     Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, and upon admission of 
     the State of Hawai`i into the Union in 1959, and has retained 
     certain of those responsibilities.
       ``(13) In recognition of the special relationship which 
     exists between the United States and the Native Hawaiian 
     people, the Congress has extended to Native Hawaiians the 
     same rights and privileges accorded to American Indian, 
     Alaska Native, Eskimo, and Aleut communities under the Native 
     American Programs Act of 1974, the American Indian Religious 
     Freedom Act, the National Museum of the American Indian Act, 
     the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, 
     the National Historic Preservation Act, and the Native 
     American Languages Act.
       ``(14) In recognition of the special relationship which 
     exists between the United States and the Native Hawaiian 
     people, the Congress has enacted numerous special provisions 
     of law for the benefit of Native Hawaiians in the areas of 
     health, education, labor, and housing.
       ``(15) In 1981, the Senate instructed the Office of 
     Education to submit to the Congress a comprehensive report on 
     Native Hawaiian education. The report, entitled the `Native 
     Hawaiian Educational Assessment Project', was released in 
     1983 and documented that Native Hawaiians scored below parity 
     with national norms on standardized achievement tests, were 
     disproportionately represented in many negative social and 
     physical statistics, indicative of special educational needs, 
     and had educational needs which were related to their unique 
     cultural situation, such as different learning styles and low 
     self-image.
       ``(16) In recognition of the educational needs of Native 
     Hawaiians, in 1988, the Congress enacted title IV of the 
     Augustus F. Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary and 
     Secondary School Improvement Amendments of 1988 to authorize 
     and develop supplemental educational programs to benefit 
     Native Hawaiians.
       ``(17) In 1993, the Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate 
     released a ten-year update of the Native Hawaiian Educational 
     Assessment Project, which found that despite the successes of 
     the programs established under title IV of the Augustus F. 
     Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary and Secondary School 
     Improvement Amendments of 1988, many of the same educational 
     needs still exist for Native Hawaiians. For example--
       ``(A) educational risk factors continue to start even 
     before birth for many Native Hawaiian children, including--
       ``(i) late or no prenatal care;
       ``(ii) half of Native Hawaiian women who give birth are 
     unmarried; and
       ``(iii) high rates of births to teenage parents;
       ``(B) Native Hawaiian students continue to begin their 
     school experience lagging behind other students in terms of 
     readiness factors such as vocabulary test scores;
       ``(C) Native Hawaiian students continue to score below 
     national norms on standardized education achievement tests at 
     all grade levels;
       ``(D) both public and private schools continue to show a 
     pattern of lower percentages of Native Hawaiian students in 
     the uppermost achievement levels and in gifted and talented 
     programs;
       ``(E) Native Hawaiian students continue to be 
     overrepresented among students qualifying for special 
     education programs provided to students with learning 
     disabilities, mild mental retardation, emotional impairment, 
     and other such disabilities;
       ``(F) Native Hawaiians continue to be underrepresented in 
     institutions of higher education and among adults who have 
     completed four or more years of college;
       ``(G) Native Hawaiians continue to be disproportionately 
     represented in many negative social and physical statistics, 
     indicative of special educational needs, for example--
       ``(i) Native Hawaiian students are more likely to be 
     retained in grade level and to be excessively absent in 
     secondary school;
       ``(ii) Native Hawaiian students are the highest users of 
     drugs and alcohol in the State of Hawai`i; and
       ``(iii) Native Hawaiian children continue to be 
     disproportionately victimized by child abuse and neglect; and
       ``(H) Native Hawaiians now comprise over 23 percent of the 
     students served by the State of Hawai`i Department of 
     Education and there are and will continue to be 
     geographically rural, isolated areas with a high Native 
     Hawaiian population density.
       ``(18) The findings described in paragraphs (1) through 
     (17) are contrary to the high rate of literacy and 
     integration of traditional culture and Western education 
     achieved by Native Hawaiians through a Hawaiian language-
     based public school system established in 1840 by Kamehameha 
     III.
       ``(19) After the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai`i in 
     1893, Hawaiian medium schools were banned. After annexation, 
     throughout the territorial and statehood period, and until 
     1986, use of Hawaiian as a medium of education in public 
     schools was declared unlawful, thereby causing incalculable 
     harm to a culture that placed a very high value on the power 
     of language, as exemplified in the traditional saying: `I ka 
     `olelo no ke ola; I ka `olelo no ka make. In the language 
     rests life; In the language rests death.'.
       ``(20) Despite the consequences of over 100 years of 
     nonindigenous influence, the Native Hawaiian people are 
     determined to preserve, develop, and transmit to future 
     generations their ancestral territory, and their cultural 
     identity in accordance with their own spiritual and 
     traditional beliefs, customs, practices, language, and social 
     institutions.
       ``(21) The State of Hawai`i, in the constitution and 
     statutes of the State of Hawai`i--
       ``(A) reaffirms and protects the unique right of the Native 
     Hawaiian people to practice and perpetuate their culture and 
     religious customs, beliefs, practices, and language; and
       ``(B) recognizes the traditional language of the Native 
     Hawaiian people as an official language of the State of 
     Hawai`i, which may be used as the language of instruction for 
     all subjects and grades in the public school system.

                   ``PART C--ALASKA NATIVE EDUCATION

     ``SEC. 9301. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Alaska Native Educational 
     Equity, Support and Assistance Act'.

     ``SEC. 9302. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds and declares:
       ``(1) The attainment of educational success is critical to 
     the betterment of the conditions, long term well being and 
     preservation of the culture of Alaska Natives.
       ``(2) It is the policy of the Federal Government to 
     encourage the maximum participation by Alaska Natives in the 
     planning and the management of Alaska Native education 
     programs.
       ``(3) Alaska Native children enter and exit school with 
     serious educational handicaps.
       ``(4) The educational achievement of Alaska Native children 
     is far below national norms. In addition to low Native 
     performance on standardized tests, Native student drop out 
     rates are high, and Natives are significantly 
     underrepresented among holders of baccalaureate degrees in 
     the State of Alaska. As a result Native students are being 
     denied their opportunity to become full participants in 
     society by grade school and high school educations that are 
     condemning an entire generation to an underclass status and a 
     life of limited choices.
       ``(5) The programs authorized herein, combined with 
     expanded Head Start, infant learning and early childhood 
     education programs, and parent education programs are 
     essential if educational handicaps are to be overcome.
       ``(6) The sheer magnitude of the geographic barriers to be 
     overcome in delivering educational services in rural and 
     village Alaska should be addressed through the development 
     and implementation of innovative, model programs in a variety 
     of areas.
       ``(7) Congress finds that Native children should be 
     afforded the opportunity to begin their formal education on a 
     par with their non-Native peers. The Federal Government 
     should lend support to efforts developed by and undertaken 
     within the Alaska Native community to improve educational 
     opportunity for all students.

     ``SEC. 9303. PURPOSE.

       ``It is the purpose of this part to--
       ``(1) recognize the unique educational needs of Alaska 
     Natives;
       ``(2) authorize the development of supplemental educational 
     programs to benefit Alaska Natives;
       ``(3) supplement existing programs and authorities in the 
     area of education to further the purposes of this part; and
       ``(4) provide direction and guidance to appropriate 
     Federal, State and local agencies to focus resources, 
     including resources made available under this part, on 
     meeting the educational needs of Alaska Natives.

     ``SEC. 10201. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Jacob K. Javits Gifted and 
     Talented Students Education Act of 1994'.

     ``SEC. 10202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that--
       ``(1) all students can learn to high standards and must 
     develop their talents and realize their potential if the 
     United States is to prosper;
       ``(2) gifted and talented students are a national resource 
     vital to the future of the Nation and its security and well-
     being;
       ``(3) too often schools fail to challenge students to do 
     their best work, and students who are not challenged will not 
     learn to challenging State content standards and challenging 
     State student performance standards, fully develop their 
     talents, and realize their potential;
       ``(4) unless the special abilities of gifted and talented 
     students are recognized and developed during such students' 
     elementary and secondary school years, much of such students' 
     special potential for contributing to the national interest 
     is likely to be lost;
       ``(5) gifted and talented students from economically 
     disadvantaged families and areas, and students of limited-
     English proficiency are at greatest risk of being 
     unrecognized and of not being provided adequate or 
     appropriate educational services;
       ``(6) State and local educational agencies and private 
     nonprofit schools often lack the necessary specialized 
     resources to plan and implement effective programs for the 
     early identification of gifted and talented students and for 
     the provision of educational services and programs 
     appropriate to their special needs;
       ``(7) the Federal Government can best carry out the limited 
     but essential role of stimulating research and development 
     and personnel training and providing a national focal point 
     of information and technical assistance that is necessary to 
     ensure that the Nation's schools are able to meet the special 
     educational needs of gifted and talented students, and 
     thereby serve a profound national interest; and
       ``(8) the experience and knowledge gained in developing and 
     implementing programs for gifted and talented students can 
     and should be used as a basis to--
       ``(A) develop a rich and challenging curriculum for all 
     students; and
       ``(B) provide all students with important and challenging 
     subject matter to study and encourage the habits of hard 
     work.
       ``(b) Statement of Purpose.--It is the purpose of this 
     part--
       ``(1) to provide financial assistance to State and local 
     educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and 
     other public and private agencies and organizations, to 
     initiate a coordinated program of research, demonstration 
     projects, personnel training, and similar activities designed 
     to build a nationwide capability in elementary and secondary 
     schools to meet the special educational needs of gifted and 
     talented students;
       ``(2) to encourage the development of rich and challenging 
     curricula for all students through the appropriate 
     application and adaptation of materials and instructional 
     methods developed under this part; and
       ``(3) to supplement and make more effective the expenditure 
     of State and local funds, for the education of gifted and 
     talented students.

     ``SEC. 10203. CONSTRUCTION.

       ``Nothing in this part shall be construed to prohibit a 
     recipient of funds under this part from serving gifted and 
     talented students simultaneously with students with similar 
     educational needs, in the same educational settings where 
     appropriate.

     and communities that experiment with methods of offering 
     teachers and other educators, parents, and other members of 
     the public the opportunity to design and implement new public 
     schools and to transform existing public schools;
       ``(3) charter schools are a mechanism for testing a variety 
     of educational approaches and should, therefore, be exempted

     such schools commits to attaining specific and ambitious 
     educational results for educationally disadvantaged students 
     consistent with challenging State content standards and 
     challenging State student performance standards for all 
     students;
       ``(4) charter schools, as such schools have been 
     implemented in a few States, can embody the necessary mixture 
     of enhanced choice, exemption from restrictive regulations, 
     and a focus on learning gains;
       ``(5) charter schools, including charter schools that are 
     schools-within-schools, can help reduce school size, which 
     reduction can have a significant effect on student 
     achievement;
       ``(6) the Federal Government should test, evaluate, and 
     disseminate information on a variety of charter school models 
     in order to help demonstrate the benefits of this promising 
     educational reform; and
       ``(7) there is a strong documented need for cash flow 
     assistance to charter schools that are starting up, because 
     State and local operating revenue streams are not immediately 
     available.
       ``(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this part to increase 
     national understanding of the charter schools model by--
       ``(1) providing financial assistance for the design and 
     initial implementation of charter schools; and
       ``(2) evaluating the effects of such schools, including the 
     effects on students, student achievement, staff, and parents.

   ``Subpart 2--Cultural Partnerships for At-Risk Children and Youth

     ``SEC. 10411. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds:
       ``(1) With local school budget cuts there are inadequate 
     arts and cultural programs available for children and youth 
     in schools, especially at the elementary school level.
       ``(2) The arts promote progress in academic subjects as 
     shown by research conducted by the National Endowment for the 
     Arts.
       ``(3) Children and youth who receive instruction in the 
     arts and humanities, or who are involved in cultural 
     activities, remain in school longer and are more successful 
     than children who do not receive such instruction.
       ``(4) Learning in the arts and humanities promotes progress 
     in other academic subjects, and generates positive self-
     esteem and a greater sense of accomplishment in young people.
       ``(5) School-university and school-cultural institution 
     partnerships that upgrade teacher training in the arts and 
     humanities have significantly contributed to improved 
     instruction and achievement levels of school-aged children.
       ``(6) Museum outreach, cultural activities and informal 
     education for at-risk children and youth have contributed 
     significantly to the educational achievement and enhanced 
     interest in learning of at-risk children and youth.
       ``(7) The Goals 2000: Educate America Act, other 
     legislation and local, State and national resources support 
     the integration of the arts and humanities into the regular 
     curriculum and school day for all children.
       ``(8) While all children benefit from instruction in the 
     arts and the humanities, at-risk children and youth have a 
     special, additional need for arts and cultural programs both 
     in school and after school.
       ``(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subpart is to make 
     demonstration grants to eligible entities to improve the 
     educational performance and future potential of at-risk 
     children and youth by providing comprehensive and coordinated 
     educational and cultural services.

     the delivery of education and human resources for all members 
     of a community;

     ``SEC. 10971. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the ability of America's rural public school systems 
     to meet the National Education Goals will contribute to the 
     economic competitiveness and academic standing of the Nation 
     in the world community;
       ``(2) approximately 60 percent of the Nation's public 
     school districts are rural with a population of less than 
     2,500;
       ``(3) about 1 out of every 4 of America's rural school 
     children are living below the poverty line;

     the Nation has a direct effect on the economic development of 
     the rural communities of the Nation;
       ``(5) the success of rural public schools in boosting the 
     achievement of minority youth attending such schools will 
     determine the ability of the Nation to close the gap between 
     the haves and the have-nots in society;
       ``(6) the academic performance of students in the average 
     rural school system is below that of students in most other 
     suburban school systems;
       ``(7) the average age of rural public school buildings is 
     more than 45 years old and such buildings are often in 
     serious disrepair, creating poor and demoralizing working and

     is greater than in other kinds of school systems;
       ``(9) solving the challenges facing the Nation's rural 
     public schools will require the concerted and collaborative 
     efforts of all levels of government and all sectors of the 
     community;
       ``(10) additional Federal funding would contribute 
     significantly to addressing the comprehensive needs of rural 
     schools;
       ``(11) rural public schools enroll a disproportionately 
     large share of the Nation's poor and at-risk youth;
       ``(12) a declining number of rural public secondary school 
     graduates are pursuing postsecondary education opportunities;
       ``(13) rural preschoolers have less access to early 
     childhood development programs than other children; and
       ``(14) Federal and State funding of rural public schools 
     has not adequately reflected need.

     ``SEC. 10991. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the United States faces a crisis in writing in 
     schools and in the workplace;
       ``(2) the writing problem has been magnified by the rapidly 
     changing student populations and the growing number of at-
     risk students due to limited English proficiency;
       ``(3) over the past two decades, universities and colleges 
     across the country have reported increasing numbers of 
     entering freshmen who are unable to write at a level equal to 
     the demands of college work;
       ``(4) American businesses and corporations are concerned 
     about the limited writing skills of entry-level workers, and 
     a growing number of executives are reporting that advancement 
     was denied to them due to inadequate writing abilities;
       ``(5) the writing problem has been magnified by the rapidly 
     changing student populations in the Nation's schools and the 
     growing number of students who are at risk because of limited 
     English proficiency;
       ``(6) writing and reading are both fundamental to learning, 
     yet writing has been historically neglected in the schools 
     and colleges, and most teachers in the United States 
     elementary schools, secondary schools, and colleges have not 
     been trained to teach writing;
       ``(7) since 1973, the only national program to address the 
     writing problem in the Nation's schools has been the National 
     Writing Project, a network of collaborative university-school 
     programs whose goal is to improve the quality of student 
     writing and the teaching of writing at all grade levels and 
     to extend the uses of writing as a learning process through 
     all disciplines;
       ``(8) the National Writing Project offers summer and school 
     year inservice teacher training programs and a dissemination 
     network to inform and teach teachers of developments in the 
     field of writing;
       ``(9) the National Writing Project is a nationally 
     recognized and honored nonprofit organization that recognizes 
     that there are teachers in every region of the country who 
     have developed successful methods for teaching writing and 
     that such teachers can be trained and encouraged to train 
     other teachers;
       ``(10) the National Writing Project has become a model for 
     programs to improve teaching in such other fields as 
     mathematics, science, history, literature, performing arts, 
     and foreign languages;

     teachers program identifies and promotes what is working in 
     the classrooms of the Nation's best teachers;
       ``(12) the National Writing Project teacher-teaching-
     teachers project is a positive program that celebrates good 
     teaching practices and good teachers and through its work 
     with schools increases the Nation's corps of successful 
     classroom teachers;

     the positive impact the project has had on improving the 
     teaching of writing, student performance, and student

     long education to teachers, and teachers participating in the 
     National Writing Project receive graduate academic credit;

     training in National Writing Project intensive summer 
     institutes and workshops and school year in-service programs 
     through one of the 154 regional sites located in 45 States, 
     the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and in 4 sites that serve 
     United States teachers in United States dependent and

     National Writing Project to be highly cost effective compared 
     to other professional development programs for teachers; and
       ``(19) during 1991, the first year of Federal support for 
     the National Writing Project, the National Writing Project

    ``PART L--THE EXTENDED TIME FOR LEARNING AND LONGER SCHOOL YEAR

     ``SEC. 10993. THE EXTENDED TIME FOR LEARNING AND LONGER 
                   SCHOOL YEAR.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) the Commission on Time and Learning has found that--
       ``(A) realizing the third National Education Goal, that 
     states all students will leave grades four, eight and twelve 
     having demonstrated competency in challenging subject matter, 
     including English, mathematics, science, foreign languages, 
     civics and government, economics, arts, history, and 
     geography, will require considerably more common core 
     learning time than most students now receive;
       ``(B) ensuring that all students learn to high standards 
     will require flexibility and innovation in the use of common 
     core learning time, as well as the rest of the time students 
     spend both during and beyond the school day;
       ``(C) teachers need regular, sustained time for lesson 
     development, collegial collaboration and other professional 
     development;
       ``(D) schools, businesses, community-based organizations, 
     tribal leaders, and other community agencies and members 
     should work together to foster effective learning and 
     enrichment programs and activities for students, including 
     programs that operate outside of the regular school day or 
     year;
       ``(E) for most students in the United States, the school 
     year is 180 days long. In Japan students go to school 243 
     days per year, in Germany students go to school 240 days per 
     year, in Austria students go to school 216 days per year, in 
     Denmark students go to school 200 days per year, and in 
     Switzerland students go to school 195 days per year; and
       ``(F) in the final four years of schooling, students in 
     schools in the United States are required to spend a total of 
     1,460 hours on core academic subjects, less than half of the 
     3,528 hours so required in Germany, the 3,280 hours so 
     required in France, and the 3,170 hours so required in Japan;
       ``(2) increasing the amount and duration of intensive, 
     engaging and challenging learning activities geared to high 
     standards can increase student motivation and achievement;
       ``(3) the benefits of extending learning time, including 
     common core instructional time, can be maximized by 
     concurrent changes in curriculum and instruction, such as 
     accelerated learning, and engaging, interactive instruction 
     based on challenging content;
       ``(4) maximizing the benefit of increased common core and 
     other learning time will require the collaboration and 
     cooperation of teachers and administrators, students, 
     parents, community members and organizations, businesses and 
     others to develop strategies to meet the needs of students 
     during and beyond the school day and year;
       ``(5) a competitive world economy requires that students in 
     the United States receive education and training that is at 
     least as rigorous and high-quality as the education and 
     training received by students in competitor countries;
       ``(6) despite our Nation's transformation from a farm-based 
     economy to one based on manufacturing and services, the 
     school year is still based on the summer needs of an agrarian 
     economy;
       ``(7) American students' lack of formal schooling is not 
     counterbalanced with more homework. The opposite is true, as 
     half of all European students report spending at least two 
     hours on homework per day, compared to only 29 percent of 
     American students. Twenty-two percent of American students 
     watch five or more hours of television per day, while less 
     than eight percent of European students watch that much 
     television;
       ``(8) more than half of teachers surveyed in the United 
     States cite `children who are left on their own after school' 
     as a major problem;
       ``(9) over the summer months, disadvantaged students not 
     only fail to advance academically, but many forget much of 
     what such students had learned during the previous school 
     year;
       ``(10) funding constraints as well as the strong pull of 
     tradition have made extending the school year difficult for 
     most States and school districts; and
       ``(11) experiments with extended and multi-track school 
     years have been associated with both increased learning and 
     more efficient use of school facilities.
       ``(b) Purposes.--It is the purpose of this part to--
       ``(1) provide seed money to schools and local educational 
     agencies to enable such agencies to devise and implement 
     strategies and methods for upgrading the quality of, and 
     extending, challenging, engaging learning time geared to high 
     standards for all students; and
       ``(2) allow the Secretary to provide financial incentives 
     and assistance to States or local educational agencies to 
     enable such States or agencies to substantially increase the 
     amount of time that students spend participating in quality 
     academic programs, and to promote flexibility in school 
     scheduling.
       ``(c) Program Authorized.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary is authorized to award 
     grants to local educational agencies having applications 
     approved under subsection (d) to enable such agencies to 
     carry out the authorized activities described in subsection 
     (e) in public elementary and secondary schools.
       ``(2) Amount.--The Secretary shall, to the extent 
     practicable, provide an equitable distribution of grants 
     under this section.
       ``(3) Duration.--Each grant under subsection (a) shall be 
     awarded for a period of not more than three years.

     awarding grants under this part to local educational agencies 
     that serve schools with high percentages of students in 
     poverty.
       ``(d) Application.--Each local educational agency desiring 
     a grant under this section shall submit an application to the 
     Secretary at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by 
     such information as the Secretary may require. Each such 
     application shall describe--

     which funds will be used;
       ``(3) strategies and methods the applicant will use to 
     enrich and extend learning time for all students and to 
     maximize the percentage of common core learning time in the 
     school day, such as block scheduling, team teaching, longer 
     school days or years, and extending learning time through new 
     distance-learning technologies;
       ``(4) the strategies and methods the applicant will use, 
     including changes in curriculum and instruction, to challenge 
     and engage students and to maximize the productiveness of 
     common core learning time, as well as the total time students 
     spend in school and in school-related enrichment activities;

     employ to provide continuing financial support for the 
     implementation of any extended school day or school year;

     for activities described under subsection (e)(4), a 
     description of any feasibility or other studies demonstrating 
     the sustainability of a longer school year;

     school personnel in investigating, designing, implementing 
     and sustaining the activities assisted under this part;
       ``(8) the process to be used for involving parents and 
     other stakeholders in the development and implementation of 
     the activities assisted under this part;
       ``(9) any cooperation or collaboration among public housing 
     authorities, libraries, businesses, museums, community-based 
     organizations, and other community groups and organizations 
     to extend engaging, high-quality, standards-based learning 
     time outside of the school day or year, at the school or at 
     some other site;
       ``(10) the training and professional development activities 
     that will be offered to teachers and others involved in the 
     activities assisted under this part;
       ``(11) the goals and objectives of the activities assisted

       ``(13) how the applicant will use funds provided under this 
     part in coordination with other funds provided under this Act 
     or other Federal laws.

                    ``TITLE XI--COORDINATED SERVICES

     ``SEC. 11001. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       ``(1) Growing numbers of children are negatively affected 
     by influences outside of the classroom which increase such 
     children's risk of academic failure.
       ``(2) Factors such as poor nutrition, unsafe living 
     conditions, physical and sexual abuse, family and gang 
     violence, inadequate health care, unemployment, lack of child 
     care, and substance abuse, adversely affect family 
     relationships and the ability of a child to learn.
       ``(3) Parents and other caregivers in today's high pressure 
     society often face demands which place restraints on such 
     parents' and caregivers' time and affect such parents' and 
     caregivers' ability to adequately provide for the needs of 
     the families of such parents and caregivers.
       ``(4) Access to health and social service programs can 
     address the basic physical and emotional needs of children so 
     that children can fully participate in the learning 
     experiences offered children in school.
       ``(5) Services for at-risk students need to be more 
     convenient, and less fragmented, regulated and duplicative, 
     in order to meet the needs of children and their families.
       ``(6) School personnel, parents, and support service 
     providers often lack knowledge of, and access to, available 
     services for at-risk students and their families in the 
     community, and have few resources to coordinate services and 
     make services accessible.
       ``(7) Service providers, such as teachers, social workers, 
     health care and child care providers, juvenile justice 
     workers and others, are often trained in separate disciplines 
     that provide little support for the coordination of services.
       ``(8) Coordination of services is more cost effective 
     because such coordination substitutes prevention for 
     expensive crisis intervention.
       ``(9) Coordinating health and social services with 
     education can help the Nation meet the National Education 
     Goals by ensuring better outcomes for children.
       ``(b) Purpose of Coordinating Services.--The purpose of 
     this title is to provide elementary and secondary school 
     students and their families better access to the social, 
     health and education services necessary for students to 
     succeed in school and for their families to take an active 
     role in ensuring that such students receive the best possible 
     education.

     buildings in the United States is in inadequate condition, 
     and of such buildings, 61 percent need maintenance or major 
     repairs, 43 percent are obsolete, 42 percent contain

     difficulties securing financing for school facility 
     improvement, including school libraries, media centers, and 
     facilities.

     secondary schools will help our Nation meet the National 
     Education Goals.
       ``(6) The challenges facing our Nation's public elementary

   ``TITLE XIII--SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE EDUCATION

     ``SEC. 13001. FINDINGS.

       ``The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) high-quality technical assistance can enhance the 
     improvements in teaching and learning achieved through the 
     implementation of programs under this Act;
       ``(2) comprehensive technical assistance and effective 
     program dissemination are essential ingredients of the 
     overall strategy of the Improving America's Schools Act of 
     1994 to improve programs and provide all children 
     opportunities to meet challenging State content standards and 
     challenging State student performance standards;
       ``(3) States, local educational agencies, tribes, and 
     schools serving students with special needs, such as students 
     with limited-English proficiency and students with 
     disabilities, have great need for comprehensive technical 
     assistance in order to use funds under this Act to provide 
     such students with opportunities to learn to challenging 
     State content standards and challenging State student 
     performance standards;
       ``(4) current technical assistance and dissemination 
     efforts are fragmented and categorical in nature, and thus 
     fail to address adequately the needs of States, local 
     educational agencies and tribes for help in integrating into 
     a coherent strategy for improving teaching and learning the 
     various programs under this Act with State and local programs 
     and other education reform efforts;
       ``(5) too little creative use is made of technology as a 
     means of providing information and assistance in a cost-
     effective way;
       ``(6) comprehensive technical assistance can help schools 
     and school systems focus on improving opportunities for all 
     children to meet challenging State content standards and 
     challenging State student performance standards, as such 
     schools and systems implement programs under this Act;
       ``(7) comprehensive technical assistance will provide 
     coordinated assistance to help States, local educational 
     agencies, tribes, participating colleges and universities, 
     and schools integrate Federal, State, and local education 
     programs in ways that contribute to improving schools and 
     entire school systems;
       ``(8) technical assistance in support of programs under 
     this Act should be coordinated with the Department's regional 
     offices, the regional educational laboratories, State 
     Literacy Resource Centers, vocational resource centers, and 
     other technical assistance efforts supported by the 
     Department; and
       ``(9) technical assistance providers should prioritize 
     assistance for local educational agencies and schools.

     ``SEC. 13002. PURPOSE.

       ``The purpose of this title is to create a national 
     technical assistance and dissemination system to make 
     available to States, local educational agencies, tribes, 
     schools, and other recipients of funds under this Act 
     technical assistance in--
       ``(1) administering and implementing programs under this 
     Act;
       ``(2) implementing school reform programs in a manner that 
     improves teaching and learning for all students;
       ``(3) coordinating such programs with other Federal, State, 
     and local education plans and activities, so that all 
     students, particularly students at risk of educational 
     failure, are provided opportunities to meet challenging State 
     content standards and challenging State student performance 
     standards; and
       ``(4) adopting, adapting, and implementing promising and 
     proven practices for improving teaching and learning.

                    ``PART H--SENSE OF THE CONGRESS

     ``SEC. 14801. SENSE OF CONGRESS TO INCREASE THE TOTAL SHARE 
                   OF FEDERAL SPENDING ON EDUCATION.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       ``(1) in order to increase our Nation's standard of living 
     and to increase the number of good jobs, the United States 
     must increase its productivity and ability to compete in the 
     international marketplace by improving the educational level 
     of our workforce;
       ``(2) although efforts are being made to establish higher 
     educational standards and goals, there is a substantial 
     shortage of resources to meet such standards and goals;
       ``(3) States and local communities are finding it 
     increasingly difficult to meet ever higher educational 
     standards and goals, and States will not be able to fund 
     needed changes without Federal help to reach such standards 
     and goals;
       ``(4) the Federal Government has established many 
     educational programs but failed to provide adequate funding 
     for such programs, for example one such program provides 
     education to our Nation's disabled students and was 
     established with a promise of 40 percent Federal funding but 
     currently receives only eight percent Federal funding;
       ``(5) the annual shortfall in Federal education programs is 
     approximately half of the promised funding;
       ``(6) many needed educational improvements will not need 
     Federal funds, however, other suggested changes such as 
     lengthened school years, better pay, after-school activities, 
     mentoring for students at risk, programs for gifted students, 
     and replacing substandard buildings, will require substantial 
     Federal assistance; and
       ``(7) the Federal contribution to education is less than 
     two percent of the total Federal budget, and in order to make 
     education a national priority, the total percentage of 
     Federal educational funding should be increased by one 
     percent each year over the next eight years to reach 10 
     percent of the total Federal budget.
       ``(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the 
     Congress that the total share of the Federal spending on 
     education should increase by at least one percent each year 
     until such share reaches 10 percent of the total Federal 
     budget.

     ``SEC. 14802. SENSE OF CONGRESS; REQUIREMENT REGARDING 
                   NOTICE.

       ``(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 should, in expending the assistance, purchase 
     only American-made equipment and products.
       ``(b) Notice to Recipients of Assistance.--In providing 
     financial assistance under this Act, the head of each Federal 
     agency shall provide to each recipient of the assistance a 
     notice describing the statement made in subsection (a) by the 
     Congress.''.

     grants under this section and under subpart 2 of part D of 
     chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965 (as such subpart was in effect on the

     U.S.C. 1411(d)) is amended to read as follows:

     fiscal year under subsection (c)(1)(B), the State shall 
     provide to each local educational agency or intermediate 
     educational unit an amount that bears the same ratio to such 
     total amount as the number of children, aged 3 through 21, 
     determined under subsection (a)(3) for such agency or unit 
     bears to the total number of such children determined for all 
     such agencies and units that apply for such funds.
       ``(2)(A) To the extent necessary, the State--
       ``(i) shall use funds available under subsection 
     (c)(2)(A)(ii) to ensure that each State agency that received 
     funds for fiscal year 1994 under subpart 2 of part D of 
     chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965 (as such subpart was in effect on the 
     day preceding the date of enactment of the Improving 
     America's Schools Act of 1994) receives, from the sum of such 
     funds and funds provided under paragraph (1), an amount equal 
     to--
       ``(I) the number of children, aged 6 through 21, determined 
     under subsection (a)(3) for such agency; multiplied by
       ``(II) the per-child amount provided under such subpart for 
     fiscal year 1994; and
       ``(ii) may use such funds to ensure that each local 
     educational agency that received for fiscal year 1994 under 
     such subpart for children who had transferred from a State-
     owned, State-operated, or State-supported school or program 
     assisted under such subpart receives, from the sum of such 
     funds and funds provided under paragraph (1), an amount for 
     each such child, aged 3 through 21, determined under 
     subsection (a)(3) for such agency, equal to the per-child 
     amount the agency received under such subpart for fiscal year 
     1994.
       ``(B) For the purpose of subparagraph (A), the number of 
     children determined under subsection (a)(3) for any State 
     agency or local educational agency shall not exceed the

     received funds under such subpart for such fiscal year.''.

     for any fiscal year are not sufficient to pay in full the 
     total of the amounts that all States are eligible to receive 
     under subsection (a), each such amount shall be ratably 
     reduced.
       ``(B) If additional funds become available for making such 
     payments for any fiscal year, such reduced amounts shall be 
     increased on the same basis as such payments were reduced.

     shall distribute such funds in accordance with this section, 
     except that any State that has used funds available under 
     subsection (c)(2)(A)(ii) for the purposes described in 
     subsection (d)(2) may--
       ``(i) deduct, from the amount that the State would 
     otherwise be required to make available to local educational 
     agencies and intermediate educational units, the same amount

     States are eligible under this section, each State 
     educational agency shall fix dates by which each local 
     educational agency or intermediate educational unit shall 
     report to the State agency the amount of funds available to 
     such agency under this section that such agency estimates 
     such agency will expend.
       ``(B) The State educational agency shall, in accordance 
     with this section, reallocate any funds that the State 
     educational agency determines will not be used during the 
     period of availability by local educational agencies and 
     intermediate educational units, and by any such agency or 
     unit to which such funds would be available if such agency or 
     unit applied for such funds under this part, to those local 
     educational agencies and intermediate educational units that 
     the State educational agency determines will need, and be 
     able to use, additional funds to carry out approved 
     programs.''.

     sections 611 and 619 of this Act, any State agency that 
     received funds for fiscal year 1994 under subpart 2 of part D 
     of chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965 (as such subpart was in existence on 
     the day preceding the date of enactment of the Improving 
     America's Schools Act of 1994) shall be treated as if the 
     State agency were a local educational agency.
       ``(b) Any State agency which desires to receive payments 
     under section 611(d) and section 619(c)(3) for any fiscal 
     year shall submit an application to the State educational 
     agency. Such application shall--
       ``(1) include an assurance that all children with 
     disabilities who are participating in programs and projects

       (a) Amendment.--Subsection (c) of section 684 of the Act 
     (20 U.S.C. 1484) is amended--

     reservation and payments under subsections (a) and (b), the

     number of infants and toddlers in the State bears to the 
     number of infants and toddlers in all States.''; and
       (3) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following new 
     paragraphs:

     disability, except that this section shall be interpreted in 
     a manner that is consistent with the Department's final 
     guidance concerning State and local responsibilities under

     SEC. 315. FAMILY SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WITH 
                   DISABILITIES.

       The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 
     1400 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following 
     new part:

                        ``PART I--FAMILY SUPPORT

     ``SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.

       ``This part may be cited as the `Families of Children With 
     Disabilities Support Act of 1994'.

     ``SEC. 702. FINDINGS, PURPOSES, AND POLICY.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       ``(1) It is in the best interest of our Nation to preserve, 
     strengthen, and maintain the family.
       ``(2) Families are the greatest natural resource available 
     to their children and are the major providers of support, 
     care, and training of their children.
       ``(3) Families of children with disabilities enrich the 
     lives of all citizens through the contributions of such 
     families to the economic, health, and social fabric of their 
     community, State, and Nation.
       ``(4) A growing number of families are searching for ways 
     to empower themselves to raise their children with 
     disabilities at home and in their communities. Supporting 
     such families to enable them to care for their children with 
     disabilities at home is efficient and can be cost-effective.
       ``(5) Children, including children with disabilities, 
     benefit from enduring family relationships in a nurturing 
     home environment.
       ``(6) Many families experience exceptionally high financial 
     outlays and significant physical and emotional challenges in 
     meeting the special needs of their children with 
     disabilities.
       ``(7) There are financial disincentives for families to 
     care for their children with disabilities at home.
       ``(8) Most families of children with disabilities do not 
     have access to family-centered and family-directed services 
     to support such families in their efforts to care for their 
     children with disabilities at home.
       ``(9) There is a need in each State for a comprehensive, 
     coordinated, interagency system of family support for 
     families of children with disabilities that is family-
     centered and family-directed, is easily accessible, avoids 
     duplication, uses existing resources more efficiently, and 
     prevents gaps in services to families in all areas of the 
     State.
       ``(10) The goals of the Nation properly include the goal of 
     providing families of children with disabilities the family 
     support necessary to accomplish the following:
       ``(A) To support the family.
       ``(B) To enable families of children with disabilities to 
     nurture and enjoy their children at home.
       ``(C) To enable families of children with disabilities to 
     make informed choices and decisions regarding the nature of 
     services, sup- 
     ports, and resources made available to such families.
       ``(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this part are as follows:
       ``(1) To provide financial assistance to the States to 
     support systems change activities designed to assist each 
     State to develop and implement, or expand and enhance, a 
     family-centered and family-directed, culturally competent, 
     community-centered, comprehensive, statewide system of family 
     support for families of children with disabilities that is 
     designed to--
       ``(A) ensure the full participation, choice and control of 
     families of children with disabilities in decisions related 
     to the provision of such family support for their family;
       ``(B) ensure the active involvement of families of children 
     with disabilities in the planning, development, 
     implementation, and evaluation of such a statewide system;
       ``(C) increase the availability of, funding for, access to, 
     and provision of family support for families of children with 
     disabilities;
       ``(D) promote training activities that are family-centered 
     and family-directed and that enhance the ability of family 
     members of children with disabilities to increase 
     participation, choice, and control in the provision of family 
     support for families of children with disabilities;
       ``(E) increase and promote interagency coordination among 
     State agencies, and between State agencies and private 
     entities that are involved in carrying out activities under 
     section 708; and
       ``(F) increase the awareness of laws, regulations, 
     policies, practices, procedures, and organizational 
     structures, which facilitate or impede the availability or 
     provision of family support for families of children with 
     disabilities.
       ``(2) To enhance the ability of the Federal Government to--
       ``(A) identify Federal policies that facilitate or impede 
     family support for families of children with disabilities, 
     and that are consistent with the principles in subsection 
     (c);
       ``(B) provide States with technical assistance and 
     information relating to the provision of family support for 
     families of children with disabilities;
       ``(C) conduct an evaluation of the program of grants to 
     States; and
       ``(D) provide funding for model demonstration and 
     innovation projects.
       ``(c) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that 
     all programs, projects, and activities receiving assistance 
     under this part shall be family-centered and family-directed 
     and shall be carried out in a manner consistent with the 
     following principles:
       ``(1) Family support for families of children with 
     disabilities must focus on the needs of the entire family.
       ``(2) Families of children with disabilities should be 
     supported in determining their needs and in making decisions 
     concerning necessary, desirable, and appropriate services.
       ``(3) Families should play decisionmaking roles in policies 
     and programs that affect the lives of such families.
       ``(4) Family needs change over time and family support for 
     families of children with disabilities must offer options 
     that are flexible and responsive to the unique needs and 
     strengths and cultural values of individual families.
       ``(5) Family support for families of children with 
     disabilities is proactive and not solely in response to a 
     crisis.
       ``(6) Families must be supported in their efforts to 
     promote the integration and inclusion of their children with 
     disabilities into all aspects of community life.
       ``(7) Family support for families of children with 
     disabilities should promote the use of existing social 
     networks, strengthen natural

[[Page 2210]]

     sources of support, and help build connections to existing 
     community resources and services.
       ``(8) Youth with disabilities should be involved in 
     decisionmaking about their own lives, consistent with the 
     unique strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, 
     and capabilities of each such youth.
       ``(9) Services and supports must be provided in a manner 
     that demonstrates respect for individual dignity, personal 
     responsibility, self-determination, personal preferences, and 
     cultural differences of families.
       ``(d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this part shall be 
     construed to prevent families from choosing an out-of-home

     SEC. 360B. DISCLOSURE OF ATHLETIC PROGRAM PARTICIPATION RATES 
                   AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT DATA.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Equity 
     in Athletics Disclosure Act''.
       (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) participation in athletic pursuits plays an important 
     role in teaching young Americans how to work on teams, handle 
     challenges and overcome obstacles;
       (2) participation in athletic pursuits plays an important 
     role in keeping the minds and bodies of young Americans 
     healthy and physically fit;
       (3) there is increasing concern among citizens, educators, 
     and public officials regarding the athletic opportunities for 
     young men and women at institutions of higher education;
       (4) a recent study by the National Collegiate Athletic 
     Association found that in Division I-A institutions, only 20 
     percent of the average athletic department operations budget 
     of $1,310,000 is spent on women's athletics; 15 percent of 
     the average recruiting budget of $318,402 is spent on 
     recruiting female athletes; the average scholarship expenses 
     for men is $1,300,000 and $505,246 for women; and an average 
     of 143 grants are awarded to male athletes and 59 to women 
     athletes;
       (5) female college athletes receive less than 18 percent of 
     the athletics recruiting dollar and less than 24 percent of 
     the athletics operating dollar;
       (6) male college athletes receive approximately 
     $179,000,000 more per year in athletic scholarship grants 
     than female college athletes;
       (7) prospective students and prospective student athletes 
     should be aware of the commitments of an institution to 
     providing equitable athletic opportunities for its men and 
     women students; and
       (8) knowledge of an institution's expenditures for women's 
     and men's athletic programs would help prospective students 
     and prospective student athletes make informed judgments 
     about the commitments of a given institution of higher 
     education to providing equitable athletic benefits to its men 
     and women students.
       (c) Disclosure of Athletic Program.--Section 485 of the

       ``(ii) Total operating expenses attributable to such teams, 
     except that an institution may also report such expenses on a 
     per capita basis for each team and expenditures attributable 
     to closely related teams such as track and field or swimming 
     and diving, may be reported together, although such 
     combinations shall be reported separately for men's and 
     women's teams.
       ``(iii) Whether the head coach is male or female and 
     whether the head coach is assigned to that team on a full-
     time or part-time basis. Graduate assistants and volunteers 
     who serve as head coaches shall be considered to be head 
     coaches for the purposes of this clause.
       ``(iv) The number of assistant coaches who are male and the 
     number of assistant coaches who are female for each team and 
     whether a particular coach is assigned to that team on a

       ``(F) The total annual revenues generated across all men's 
     teams and across all women's teams, except that an 
     institution may also report such revenues by individual team.
       ``(G) The average annual institutional salary of the head 
     coaches of men's teams, across all offered sports, and the 
     average annual institutional salary of the head coaches of 
     women's teams, across all offered sports.

     assistant coaches of men's teams,

[[Page 2219]]

     across all offered sports, and the average annual 
     institutional salary of the assistant coaches of women's 
     teams, across all offered sports.
       ``(2) Special rule.--For the purposes of subparagraph (G), 
     if a coach has responsibilities for more than one team and 
     the institution does not allocate such coach's salary by 
     team, the institution should divide the salary by the number 
     of teams for which the coach has responsibility and allocate 
     the salary among the teams on a basis consistent with the 
     coach's responsibilities for the different teams.
       ``(3) Disclosure of information to students and public.--An 
     institution of higher education described in paragraph (1) 
     shall make available to students and potential students, upon 
     request, and to the public, the information contained in the 
     report described in paragraph (1), except that all students 
     shall be informed of their right to request such information.
       ``(4) Definition.--For the purposes of this subsection, the 
     term `operating expenses' means expenditures on lodging and 
     meals, transportation, officials, uniforms and equipment.
       ``(5) Regulations and effective date.--The Secretary shall 
     issue final regulations to implement the requirements of this 
     subsection not later than 180 days following the enactment of 
     this subsection. Each institution described in paragraph (1)

   ``PART E--GRANTS TO STATES FOR WORKPLACE AND COMMUNITY TRANSITION 
               TRAINING FOR INCARCERATED YOUTH OFFENDERS

     ``SEC. 1091. GRANTS TO STATES FOR WORKPLACE AND COMMUNITY 
                   TRANSITION TRAINING FOR INCARCERATED YOUTH 
                   OFFENDERS.

       ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       ``(1) Over 150,000 youth offenders age 21 and younger are 
     incarcerated in the Nation's jails, juvenile facilities, and 
     prisons.
       ``(2) Most youth offenders who are incarcerated have been 
     sentenced as first-time adult felons.
       ``(3) Approximately 75 percent of youth offenders are high 
     school dropouts who lack basic literacy and life skills, have 
     little or no job experience, and lack marketable skills.
       ``(4) The average incarcerated youth has attended school 
     only through grade 10.
       ``(5) Most of these youths can be diverted from a life of 
     crime into productive citizenship with available educational, 
     vocational, work skills, and related service programs.
       ``(6) If not involved with educational programs while 
     incarcerated, almost all of these youths will return to a 
     life of crime upon release.
       ``(7) The average length of sentence for a youth offender 
     is about 3 years. Time spent in prison provides a unique 
     opportunity for education and training.
       ``(8) Even with quality education and training provided 
     during incarceration, a period of intense supervision, 
     support, and counseling is needed upon release to ensure 
     effective reintegration of youth offenders into society.
       ``(9) Research consistently shows that the vast majority of 
     incarcerated youths will not return to the public schools to 
     complete their education.
       ``(10) There is a need for alternative educational 
     opportunities during incarceration and after release.
       ``(b) Definition.--For purposes of this part, the term 
     `youth offender' means a male or female offender under the 
     age of 25, who is incarcerated in a State prison, including a 
     prerelease facility.
       ``(c) Grant Program.--The Secretary shall establish a 
     program in accordance with this section to provide grants to 
     the State correctional education agencies to assist and 
     encourage incarcerated youths to acquire functional literacy, 
     life, and job skills, through the pursuit of a postsecondary 
     education certificate, or an associate of arts or bachelor's 
     degree while in prison, and employment counseling and other 
     related services which start during incarceration and 
     continue through prerelease and while on parole.
       ``(d) Application.--To be eligible for a grant under this 
     section, a State correctional education agency shall submit 
     to the Secretary a proposal for a youth offender program

     number of incarcerated youths in need of postsecondary 
     education and vocational training;
       ``(2) lists the accredited public or private educational 
     institution or institutions that will provide postsecondary 
     educational services;
       ``(3) lists the cooperating agencies, public and private, 
     or businesses that will provide related services, such as 
     counseling in the areas of career development, substance 
     abuse, health, and parenting skills;
       ``(4) describes the evaluation methods and performance 
     measures that the State correctional education agency will 
     employ, provided that such methods and measures are 
     appropriate to meet the goals and objectives of the proposal, 
     and that such methods and measures include measures of--
       ``(A) program completion;
       ``(B) student academic and vocational skill attainment;
       ``(C) success in job placement and retention; and
       ``(D) recidivism;
       ``(5) describes how the proposed programs are to be 
     integrated with existing State correctional education 
     programs (such as adult education, graduate education degree 
     programs, and vocational training) and State industry 
     programs;
       ``(6) addresses the educational needs of youth offenders 
     who are in alternative programs (such as boot camps); and
       ``(7) describes how students will be selected so that only 
     youth offenders eligible under subsection (f) will be 
     enrolled in postsecondary programs.
       ``(e) Program Requirements.--Each State correctional 
     education agency receiving a grant under this section shall--

     subsection (f) not more than $1,500 annually for tuition, 
     books, and essential materials, and not more than $300 
     annually for related services such as career development, 
     substance abuse counseling, parenting skills training, and 
     health education, for each eligible incarcerated youth.
       ``(f) Student Eligibility.--A youth offender shall be 
     eligible for participation in a program receiving a grant 
     under this section if the youth offender--
       ``(1) is eligible to be released within five years 
     (including a youth offender who is eligible for parole within 
     such time); and
       ``(2) is 25 years of age or younger.
       ``(g) Length of Participation.--A State correctional 
     education agency receiving a grant under this section shall

     for students who have obtained a secondary school diploma.

     period of incarceration in prison or prerelease and may 
     continue during the period of parole.
       ``(h) Education Delivery Systems.--State correctional 
     education agencies and cooperating institutions shall, to the 
     extent practicable, use high-tech applications in developing 
     programs to meet the requirements and goals of this section.
       ``(i) Allocation of Funds.--From the amounts appropriated 
     pursuant to subsection (j), the Secretary shall allot to each 
     State an amount that bears the same relationship to such 
     funds as the total number of students eligible under 
     subsection (f) in such State bears to the total number of 
     such students in all States.
       ``(j) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are 
     authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section

     animate their schools by May 1, 1995. Such declarations shall 
     represent the aspirations of a community for the kinds of 
     persons such community wants its children to increasingly 
     become, and shall include such purposes as assuring that all 
     learners are becoming accomplished in ways important to 
     themselves and respected by their parents and communities, 
     shaping worthwhile and satisfying lives for themselves, 
     exemplifying the best values of the community and humankind, 
     and becoming increasingly effective in shaping the character 
     and quality of the world all learners share.
       ``(b) Within 18 months of the publication of the voluntary 
     national content standards described in section 213(a) of the 
     Goals 2000: Educate America Act, the Secretary, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Education and Indian 
     organizations and tribes, shall carry out or cause to be 
     carried out by contract with an Indian organization such 
     studies and surveys, making the fullest use possible of other 
     existing studies, surveys, and plans, as are necessary to 
     establish and revise standards for the basic education of 
     Indian children attending Bureau funded schools. Such studies 
     and surveys shall take into account factors such as academic 
     needs, local cultural differences, type and level of language 
     skills, geographic isolation, and appropriate teacher-student 
     ratios for such children, and shall be directed toward the 
     attainment of equal educational opportunity for such 
     children.
       ``(c)(1) The Secretary shall revise the minimum academic 
     standards published in the Federal Register of September 9, 
     1985 (50 Fed. Reg. 174) for the basic education of Indian 
     children in accordance with the purpose described in 
     subsection (a) and the findings of the studies and surveys 
     described in subsection (b), and shall publish such revised 
     standards in the Federal Register for the purpose of 
     receiving comments from the tribes and other interested 
     parties. Within 21 months of the date of enactment of the 
     Improving America's Schools Act of 1994, the Secretary shall 
     establish final standards, distribute such standards to all 
     the tribes and publish such final standards in the Federal 
     Register. The Secretary shall revise such final standards 
     periodically as necessary. Prior to any revision of such 
     final standards, the Secretary shall distribute such proposed 
     revision to all the tribes, and publish such proposed 
     revision in the Federal Register, for the purpose of 
     receiving comments from the tribes and other interested 
     parties.
       ``(2) The standards described in paragraph (1) shall apply 
     to Bureau schools, and subject to subsection (f), to contract 
     or grant schools, and may also serve as a model for 
     educational programs for Indian children in public schools. 
     In establishing and revising such standards, the Secretary 
     shall take into account the special needs of Indian students 
     and the support and reinforcement of the specific cultural 
     heritage of each tribe.
       ``(d) The Secretary shall provide alternative or modified 
     standards in lieu of the standards established under 
     subsection (c), where necessary, so that the programs of each 
     school shall be in compliance with the minimum standards 
     required for accreditation of schools in the State where the 
     school is located.
       ``(e) A tribal governing body, or the local school board so 
     designated by the tribal governing body, shall have the local 
     authority to waive, in part or in whole, the standards 
     established under subsection (c) and (d), where such 
     standards are deemed by such body to be inappropriate. The 
     tribal governing body or designated school board shall, 
     within 60 days thereafter, submit to the Secretary a proposal 
     for alternative standards that take into account the specific 
     needs of the tribe's children. Such revised standards shall 
     be established by the Secretary unless specifically rejected 
     by the Secretary for good cause and in writing to the 
     affected tribes or local school board, which rejection shall 
     be final and unreviewable.
       ``(f)(1) The Secretary, through contracting and grant-
     making procedures, shall assist school boards of contract or 
     grant schools in the implementation of the standards 
     established under subsections (c) and (d), if the school 
     boards request that such standards, in part or in whole, be 
     implemented. At the request of a contract or grant school 
     board, the Secretary shall provide alternative or modified 
     standards for the standards established under subsections (c) 
     and (d) to take into account the needs of the Indian children 
     and the contract or grant school.
       ``(2) Within 1 year of the date of the enactment of the 
     Indian Education Technical Amendments Act of 1985, the Bureau 
     shall, either directly or through contract with an Indian 
     organization, establish a consistent system of reporting 
     standards for fiscal control and fund accounting for all 
     contract or grant schools. Such standards shall yield data 
     results comparable to those used by Bureau schools.
       ``(g) Subject to subsections (e) and (f), the Secretary 
     shall begin to implement the standards established under this 
     section immediately upon the date of their establishment. Not 
     later than January 1, 1995, and at each time thereafter that 
     the annual budget request for Bureau educational services is 
     presented, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate 
     committees of Congress a detailed plan to bring all Bureau 
     schools and contract or grant schools up to the level 
     required by the applicable standards established under this 
     section. Such plan shall include detailed information on the 
     status of each school's educational program in relation to 
     the applicable standards established under this section, 
     specific cost estimates for meeting such standards at each 
     school, and specific time lines for bringing each school up 
     to the level required by such standards.

     school or peripheral dormitory operated by the Bureau on or 
     after January 1, 1992, may be closed or consolidated or have 
     its program substantially curtailed unless done according to 
     the requirements of this subsection, except that, in those 
     cases where the tribal governing body, or the local school 
     board concerned (if so designated by the tribal governing 
     body), requests closure or consolidation, the requirements of 
     this subsection shall not apply. The requirements of this 
     subsection shall not apply when a temporary closure, 
     consolidation, or substantial curtailment is required by 
     plant conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to 
     health and safety.
       ``(2) The Secretary shall, by regulation, promulgate 
     standards and procedures for the closing, consolidation, or 
     substantial curtailment of Bureau schools in accordance with 
     the requirements of this subsection.

     consolidation, or substantial curtailment of a school is 
     under active consideration or review by any division of the 
     Bureau or the Department of the Interior, the affected tribe, 
     tribal governing body, and designated local school board, 
     will be notified as soon as such consideration or review 
     begins, kept fully and currently informed, and afforded an 
     opportunity to comment with respect to such consideration or 
     review. When a formal decision is made to close, transfer to 
     any other authority, consolidate, or substantially curtail a 
     school, the affected tribe, tribal governing body, and 
     designated local school board shall be notified at least 6 
     months prior to the end of the school year preceding the 
     proposed closure date. Copies of any such notices and 
     information shall be transmitted promptly to the Congress and 
     published in the Federal Register.
       ``(4) The Secretary shall make a report to Congress, the 
     affected tribe, and the designated local school board 
     describing the process of the active consideration or review 
     referred to in paragraph (3). At a minimum, the report shall 
     include a study of the impact of such action on the student 
     population, with every effort to identify those students with 
     particular educational and social needs, and to ensure that 
     alternative services are available to such students. Such 
     report shall include the description of the

     consultation conducted between the potential service 
     provider, current service provider, parents, tribal 
     representative and the tribe or tribes involved, and the 
     Director of the Office of Indian Education Programs within 
     the Bureau regarding such students. No irreversible action 
     may be taken in furtherance of any such proposed school 
     closure, transfer to any other authority, consolidation, or 
     substantial curtailment (including any action which would 
     prejudice the personnel or programs of such school) until the 
     end of the first full academic year after such report is 
     made.

     April 1, 1987,

       ``(a)(1) The Secretary shall establish, by regulation 
     adopted in accordance with section 1139, a formula for 
     determining the minimum annual amount of funds necessary to 
     sustain each Bureau funded school. In establishing such 
     formula, the Secretary shall consider--
       ``(A) the number of eligible Indian students served and 
     size of the school;
       ``(B) special cost factors, such as--
       ``(i) the isolation of the school;
       ``(ii) the need for special staffing, transportation, or 
     educational programs;
       ``(iii) food and housing costs;
       ``(iv) maintenance and repair costs associated with the 
     physical condition of the educational facilities;
       ``(v) special transportation and other costs of isolated 
     and small schools;
       ``(vi) the costs of boarding arrangements, where determined 
     necessary by a tribal governing body or designated local 
     school board;
       ``(vii) costs associated with greater lengths of service by 
     educational personnel; and
       ``(viii) special programs for gifted and talented students;
       ``(C) the cost of providing academic services which are at 
     least equivalent to those provided by public schools in the 
     State in which the school is located; and
       ``(D) such other relevant factors as the Secretary 
     determines are appropriate.
       ``(2) Upon the establishment of the standards required by 
     sections 1121 and 1122, the Secretary shall revise the 
     formula established under this subsection to reflect the cost 
     and funding standards so established. Prior to January 1, 
     1996, the Secretary shall review the formula established 
     under this section and shall take such steps as may be 
     necessary to increase the availability of counseling services 
     for students in off-reservation boarding schools and other 
     Bureau operated residential facilities. Concurrent with such 
     action, the Secretary shall review the standards established 
     under section 1121 to be certain that adequate provision is 
     made for parental notification regarding, and consent for, 
     such counseling services.
       ``(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, Federal 
     funds appropriated for the general local operation of Bureau 
     funded schools shall be allotted pro rata in accordance with 
     the formula established under subsection (a).
       ``(c)(1) For fiscal year 1990, and for each subsequent 
     fiscal year, the Secretary shall adjust the formula 
     established under subsection (a) to--
       ``(A) use a weighted unit of 1.2 for each eligible Indian 
     student enrolled in the seventh and eighth grades of the 
     school in considering the number of eligible Indian students 
     served by the school;
       ``(B) consider a school with an enrollment of less than 50 
     eligible Indian students as having an average daily 
     attendance of 50 eligible Indian students for purposes of 
     implementing the adjustment factor for small schools; and
       ``(C) take into account the provision of residential 
     services on a less than 9-month basis at a school when the 
     school board and supervisor of the school determine that a 
     less than 9-month basis will be implemented for the school 
     year involved.
       ``(2)(A) The Secretary shall reserve for national school 
     board training 0.2 percent of the funds appropriated for each 
     fiscal year for distribution under this section. Such 
     training shall be conducted through the same organizations 
     through which, and in the same manner in which, the training 
     was conducted in fiscal year 1992, except that the contracts 
     for distribution of such funds shall require that such funds 
     be distributed by the recipient organizations in a manner 
     that assures the same pro rata share is made available for 
     training for each school board in the system. If the contract 
     for such training is not awarded before May 1 of each fiscal 
     year, the contract under which such training was provided for 
     the fiscal year preceding such fiscal year shall be renewed 
     by the Secretary for such fiscal year. The agenda for the 
     training sessions shall be established by the school boards 
     through their regional or national organizations.
       ``(B) For each year in which the Secretary uses a weighted 
     unit formula established under subsection (a) to fund Bureau 
     schools, a Bureau school which generates less than 168 
     weighted units shall receive an additional 2 weighted units 
     to defray school board activities.
       ``(C) From the funds allotted in accordance with the 
     formula established under subsection (a) for each Bureau 
     school, the local school board of such school may reserve an 
     amount which does not exceed the greater of--
       ``(i) $5,000, or
       ``(ii) the lesser of--
       ``(I) $15,000, or
       ``(II) 1 percent of such allotted funds,

     for school board activities for such school, including and 
     notwithstanding any other provision of law, meeting expenses 
     and the cost of membership in, and support of, organizations 
     engaged in activities on behalf of Indian education.
       ``(3) The Secretary shall adjust the formula established 
     under subsection (a) to use a weighted unit of 2.0 for each 
     eligible Indian student that--
       ``(A) is gifted and talented, and
       ``(B) is enrolled in the school on a full-time basis,

     in considering the number of eligible Indian students served 
     by the school.
       ``(4)(A) The Secretary shall adjust the formula established 
     under subsection (a) to use a weighted unit of 0.25 for each 
     eligible Indian student who is enrolled in a year-long credit 
     course in an Indian or Native language as part of the regular 
     curriculum of a school, in considering the number of eligible 
     Indian students served by such school.
       ``(B) The adjustment required under subparagraph (A) shall 
     be used for such school after--
       ``(i) the certification of the Indian or Native language 
     curriculum by the school board of such school to the 
     Secretary, together with an estimate of the number of full-
     time students expected to be enrolled in the curriculum in 
     the second school year following the school year for which 
     the certification is made; and
       ``(ii) the funds appropriated for allotment under this 
     section are designated by the appropriations Act 
     appropriating such funds as the amount necessary to implement 
     such adjustment at such school without reducing allotments 
     made under this section to any school by virtue of such 
     adjustment.
       ``(d) The Secretary shall reserve from the funds available 
     for distribution for each fiscal year under this section an 
     amount which, in the aggregate, shall equal 1 percent of the 
     funds available for such purpose for that fiscal year. Such 
     funds shall be used, at the discretion of the Director of the 
     Office, to meet emergencies and unforeseen contingencies 
     affecting the education programs funded under this section. 
     Funds reserved under this subsection may only be expended for 
     education services or programs at a schoolsite (as defined in 
     section 5204(c)(2) of the Tribally Controlled Schools Act of 
     1988). Funds reserved under this subsection shall remain 
     available without fiscal year limitation until expended. 
     However, the aggregate amount available from all fiscal years 
     may not exceed 1 percent of the current year funds. Whenever 
     the Secretary makes funds available under this subsection, 
     the Secretary shall report such action to the appropriate 
     committees of Congress within the annual budget submission.
       ``(e) Supplemental appropriations enacted to meet increased 
     pay costs attributable to school level personnel shall be 
     distributed under this section.
       ``(f) For the purpose of this section, the term `eligible 
     Indian student' means a student who--
       ``(1) is a member of or is at least a \1/4\ degree Indian 
     blood descendant of a member of an Indian tribe which is 
     eligible for the special programs and services provided by 
     the United States through the Bureau to Indians because of 
     their status as Indians, and

     to funding under this section.

     election of the school board of a Bureau school made at any 
     time during the fiscal year, a portion equal to not more than 
     15 percent of the funds allocated with respect to a school 
     under this section for any fiscal year shall remain available

     the amount determined under this section with respect to the 
     tribe or tribal organization for the purpose of paying the 
     administrative and indirect costs incurred in operating 
     contract or grant schools in order to--
       ``(A) enable tribes and tribal organizations operating such 
     schools, without reducing direct program services to the 
     beneficiaries of the program, to provide all related 
     administrative overhead services and operations necessary to 
     meet the requirements of law and prudent management practice, 
     and
       ``(B) carry out other necessary support functions which 
     would otherwise be provided by the Secretary or other Federal 
     officers or employees, from resources other than direct 
     program funds, in support of comparable Bureau operated

     percentage rate of the tribe or tribal organization to the 
     aggregate of the Bureau elementary and secondary functions 
     operated by the tribe or tribal organization for which funds 
     are received from or through the Bureau. The administrative

     apply to other programs operated by the tribe or tribal

     into consideration for purposes of indirect cost 
     underrecovery and overrecovery determinations by any Federal

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--

     show the condition and progress of education in the several 
     States and territories, and of diffusing such information 
     respecting the organization and management of schools and

     people of the United States in the establishment and 
     maintenance of efficient school systems, and otherwise 
     promote the cause of education throughout the United 
     States'';
       (2) today, while the role of the current Department of

     Statistics within the Office of Educational Research and 
     Improvement continues to perform those crucial original 
     purposes; and
       (3) looking to the 21st century, the National Center for 
     Education Statistics must be able to design and undertake, 
     effectively and efficiently, statistical activities that will 
     aid in the reform of the Nation's educational systems.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to ensure the 
     continuation of an effective mechanism for collecting and 
     reporting statistics and information showing the condition

     nations in order to promote and accelerate the improvement of

     of 1965; and
       (7) the terms ``State'' and ``United States''--

     of such information.
       (4) Technical assistance.--In carrying out the National 
     Assessment, the Commissioner may provide technical assistance

     and their families, and that information with respect to 
     individual schools, remains confidential, in accordance with 
     section 552a of title 5, United States Code.
       (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the

     Commissioner and the Board shall ensure that reports that use 
     such levels do so in a manner that makes clear the 
     developmental status of such levels.
       (3) Reporting.--After determining that such levels are 
     reasonable, valid, and informative to the public, as the 
     result of an evaluation under subsection (f), the 
     Commissioner shall use such levels or other methods or 
     indicators for reporting results of the National Assessment 
     and State assessments.
       (f) Review of National and State Assessments.--
       (1) In general.--(A) The Secretary shall provide for 
     continuing review of the National Assessment, State 
     assessments, and student performance levels, by one or more

     National Academy of Education and the National Academy of 
     Sciences.
       (B) Such continuing review shall address--
       (i) whether each developmental State assessment is properly 
     administered, produces high quality data that are valid and 
     reliable, and produces data on student achievement that are 
     not otherwise available to the State (other than data 
     comparing participating States to each other and the Nation); 
     and
       (ii) whether developmental student performance levels are 
     reasonable, valid, and informative to the public.

     Partnership Act''.

     SEC. 522. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the local community, when properly organized and 
     challenged, is one of the best sources of academic support, 
     motivation toward achievement, and financial resources for 
     aspiring postsecondary students;
       (2) local communities, working to complement or augment 
     services currently being offered by area schools and 
     colleges, can raise the educational expectations and increase 
     the rate of postsecondary attendance of their youth by 
     forming locally based organizations that provide both 
     academic support (including guidance, counseling, mentoring, 
     tutoring, encouragement, and recognition) and tangible, 
     locally raised, effectively targeted, publicly recognized 
     financial assistance;
       (3) proven methods of stimulating these community efforts 
     can be promoted through Federal support for the establishment 
     of area program centers to organize and challenge community 
     efforts to develop educational incentives and support for 
     local students; and
       (4) using Federal funds to leverage private contributions 
     to help students from low-income families attain educational 
     and career goals is an efficient and effective investment of

              PART D--WORKERS TECHNOLOGY SKILL DEVELOPMENT

     SEC. 541. SHORT TITLE.

       This part may be cited as the ``Workers Technology Skill 
     Development Act''.

     SEC. 542. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds and declares the following:
       (1) In an increasingly competitive world economy, the 
     companies and nations that lead in the rapid development, 
     commercialization, and application of new and advanced 
     technologies, and in the high-quality, competitively priced 
     production of goods and services, will lead in economic 
     growth, employment, and high living standards.
       (2) While the United States remains the world leader in 
     science and invention, it has not done well in rapidly making 
     the transition from achievement in its research laboratories 
     to high-quality, competitively priced production of goods and 
     services. This lag and the unprecedented competitive 
     challenge that the United States has faced from abroad have 
     contributed to a drop in real wages and living standards.
       (3) Companies that are successfully competitive in the 
     rapid development, commercialization, application, and 
     implementation of advanced technologies, and in the 
     successful delivery of goods and services, recognize that 
     worker participation and labor-management cooperation in the 
     deployment, application, and implementation of advanced 
     workplace technologies make an important contribution to 
     high-quality, competitively priced production of goods and 
     services and in maintaining and improving real wages for 
     workers.
       (4) The Federal Government has an important role in 
     encouraging and augmenting private sector efforts relating to 
     the development, application, manufacture, and deployment of 
     new and advanced technologies. The role should be to--

[[Page 2242]]

       (A) work with private companies, States, worker 
     organizations, nonprofit organizations, and institutions of 
     higher education to ensure the development, application, 
     production, and implementation of new and advanced 
     technologies to promote the improvement of workers' skills, 
     wages, job security, and working conditions, and a healthy 
     environment;
       (B) encourage worker and worker organization participation 
     in the development, commercialization, evaluation, selection, 
     application, and implementation of new and advanced 
     technologies in the workplace; and
       (C) promote the use and integration of new and advanced 
     technologies in the workplace that enhance workers' skills.
       (5) In working with the private sector to promote the 
     technological leadership and economic growth of the United 
     States, the Federal Government has a responsibility to ensure 
     that Federal technology programs help the United States to 
     remain competitive and to maintain and improve living 
     standards and to create and retain secure jobs in 
     economically stable communities.

     practices in a manner that creates and maintains stable well-
     paying jobs for workers; and
       (2) assist workers and worker organizations in developing 
     the expertise necessary for effective participation with 
     employers in the development of strategies and programs for 
     the successful evaluation, selection, and implementation of

     Supreme Court decisions respecting such enforceability; 
     provided, however, that this section is not intended to alter

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. PETERSON of Florida, pursuant to House 
Resolution 543 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. 4926) to require the Secretary of the 
Treasury to identify foreign countries which may be denying national 
treatment to United States Banking Organizations and to assess whether 
any such denial may be having a significant adverse effect on such 
organizations, and to require Federal banking agencies to take such 
assessments into account in considering applications by foreign banks 
under the International Banking Act of 1978 and the Bank Holding Company 
Act of 1956.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. PETERSON of Florida, by unanimous 
consent, designated Mr. BARLOW as Chairman of the Committee of the 
Whole; and after some time spent therein,
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. SCOTT, assumed the Chair.
  When Mr. BARLOW, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 543, reported 
the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee.
  The previous question having been ordered by said resolution.
  The following amendment, reported from the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union, was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``National Treatment in 
     Banking Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FAILURE TO ACCORD NATIONAL TREATMENT TO UNITED STATES 
                   BANKING ORGANIZATIONS.

       (a) Identifying Countries That May Be Denying National 
     Treatment to United States Banking Organizations.--The 
     Secretary of the Treasury shall identify, after consultation 
     with the Federal banking agencies, the extent to which 
     foreign countries may be denying national treatment to United 
     States banking organizations--
       (1) based on information relating to banking in the most 
     recent report under section 3602 of the Omnibus Trade and 
     Competitiveness Act of 1988 (or the most recent update of 
     such report); or
       (2) based on more recent information that the Secretary 
     considers appropriate.
       (b) Assessing Whether Possible Denial of National Treatment 
     May Be Having a Significant Adverse Effect.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary shall assess, after 
     consultation with the Federal banking agencies, whether the 
     possible denial of national treatment to United States 
     banking organizations by a foreign country identified under 
     subsection (a) may be having a significant adverse effect on 
     such organizations.
       (2) Factors to be considered.--In making any assessment 
     under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall consider appropriate 
     factors, including the following:
       (A) The extent of United States trade with and investment 
     in the foreign country, the size of the foreign country's 
     markets for banking services, and the extent to which United 
     States banking organizations operate or seek to operate in 
     those markets.
       (B) The importance of operations by United States banking 
     organizations in the foreign country to the export of goods 
     and services by United States firms to such country.
       (C) The extent to which the foreign country provides in 
     advance to United States banking organizations a written 
     draft of any measure of general application that the country 
     proposes to adopt, such as regulations, guidelines, or other 
     policies regarding new products and services, in order to 
     allow an opportunity for such organizations to comment on the 
     measure and for such comments to be taken into account by the 
     foreign country.
       (D) The extent to which the foreign country--
       (i) makes available, in writing, to United States banking 
     organizations the foreign country's requirements for 
     completing any application relating to the provision of 
     financial services by any such organization;
       (ii) applies published, objective standards and criteria in 
     evaluating any such application from any United States 
     banking organization; and
       (iii) renders administrative decisions relating to any such 
     application within a reasonable period of time.
       (3) Solicitation of comments.--Before making any assessment 
     under paragraph (1), the Secretary may solicit comments 
     concerning the effect of the possible denial of national 
     treatment on United States banking organizations from 
     interested parties.
       (c) Publication.--The Secretary may publish a notice in the 
     Federal Register of--
       (1) any assessment made under subsection (b)(1) with 
     respect to any country; and
       (2) any change made with respect to any assessment under 
     such subsection which was previously published in the Federal 
     Register.
       (d) Definitions.--The following definitions shall apply for 
     purposes of this section:
       (1) Banking organization.--
       (A) In general.--The term ``banking organization'' means 
     any bank, any bank holding company (including any company 
     required to file reports pursuant to section 4(f)(6) of the

     any savings and loan holding company (as such term is defined 
     in section 10(a)(1)(D) of the Home Owners' Loan Act).
       (B) Banking terms.--For purposes of this paragraph, the 
     terms ``bank'' and ``bank holding company'' have the same

       (3) National treatment.--The term ``national treatment'' 
     means, with respect to any foreign country, treatment that 
     offers United States banking organizations the same 
     competitive opportunities (including effective market access)

       (1) The qualification of information for classification 
     only when its public disclosure would cause identifiable 
     damage to the national security.
       (2) The declassification of information if the appropriate 
     authority within the Executive branch determines that the 
     Government's interest in continuing to protect such 
     information is outweighed by the public's interest in having 
     the information made available.
       (3) The automatic declassification of information that is 
     more than 25 years old unless such information is within a 
     category designated by the President as requiring document-
     by-document review to identify that information whose 
     disclosure to unauthorized persons would clearly damage the 
     national security.
       (b) Submission to Congress; Effective Date.--The executive 
     order referred to in subsection (a) may not take effect until 
     after 30 days after the date on which such proposed executive

     which is appropriated more than $1,000,000 in the security, 
     countermeasures, and related activities structural category 
     for fiscal year 1995 shall allocate at least two percent of

     declassification guidelines contained in the executive order 
     which replaces Executive Order 12356. Each such agency shall 
     provide the plan to Congress within 90 days after the 
     beginning of fiscal year 1995 or 90 days after the 
     publication of such replacement executive order, whichever is 
     later. This plan shall include an accounting of the amount of 
     archived material, levels of classification, types of storage 
     media and locations, review methods to be employed, and 
     estimated costs of the declassification activity itself; as 
     well as an assessment by the agency of the appropriate types 
     and amounts of information to be maintained in the future, 
     how it will be stored, safeguarded, and reviewed, and the 
     projected costs of these classification management activities 
     for the succeeding five years.
       (2) Commencement of the process of declassification and 
     reduction of the amount of archived classified documents 
     maintained by each agency.
       (3) Submission of a report to the Permanent Select

     the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate within 90 
     days after the end of fiscal year 1995 on the progress made

     amended by adding at the end the following new title:

             ``TITLE VIII--ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION


                              ``procedures

     enactment of this title, the President shall, by Executive 
     order or regulation, establish procedures to govern access to 
     classified information which shall be binding upon all 
     departments, agencies, and offices of the executive branch of 
     Government. Such procedures shall, at a minimum--
       ``(1) provide that, except as may be permitted by the 
     President, no employee in the executive branch of Government 
     may be given access to classified information by any 
     department, agency, or office of the executive branch of 
     Government unless, based upon an appropriate background 
     investigation, such access is determined to be clearly 
     consistent with the national security interests of the United 
     States;
       ``(2) establish uniform minimum requirements governing the 
     scope and frequency of background investigations and 
     reinvestigations for all employees in the executive branch of 
     Government who require access to classified information as 
     part of their official responsibilities;

[[Page 2251]]

     employing department or agency written consent which permits 
     access by an authorized investigative agency to relevant 
     financial records, other financial information, consumer 
     reports, and travel records, as determined by the President, 
     in accordance with section 802 of this title, during the 
     period of access to classified information and for a period

     Government who require access to particularly sensitive 
     classified information, as determined by the President, shall 
     be required, as a condition of maintaining access to such 
     information, to submit to the employing department or agency, 
     during the period of such access, relevant information 
     concerning their financial condition and foreign travel, as 
     determined by the President, as may be necessary to ensure 
     appropriate security; and
       ``(5) establish uniform minimum standards to ensure that 
     employees in the executive branch of Government whose access 
     to classified information is being denied or terminated under 
     this title are appropriately advised of the reasons for such 
     denial or termination and are provided an adequate 
     opportunity to respond to all adverse information which forms 
     the basis for such denial or termination before final action 
     by the department or agency concerned.

     affect the responsibility and power of an agency head 
     pursuant to other law or Executive order to deny or terminate 
     access to classified information if the national security so 
     requires. Such responsibility and power may be exercised only 
     when the agency head determines that the procedures 
     prescribed by subsection (a) cannot be invoked in a manner 
     that is consistent with the national security.
       ``(2) Upon the exercise of such responsibility, the agency 
     head shall submit a report to the Permanent Select Committee 
     on Intelligence of the House of Representatives and the 
     Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate.

 ``AUTHORIZATION OF PHYSICAL SEARCHES FOR FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PURPOSES

       ``Sec. 302. (a)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, the President, acting through the Attorney General, may 
     authorize physical searches without a court order under this 
     title to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods 
     of up to one year if--
       ``(A) the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath 
     that--
       ``(i) the physical search is solely directed at premises, 
     information, material, or property used exclusively by, or 
     under the open and exclusive control of, a foreign power or 
     powers (as defined in section 101(a)(1), (2), or (3));
       ``(ii) there is no substantial likelihood that the physical 
     search will involve the premises, information, material, or 
     property of a United States person; and
       ``(iii) the proposed minimization procedures with respect 
     to such physical search meet the definition of minimization 
     procedures under paragraphs (1) through (4) of section 
     301(4); and
       ``(B) the Attorney General reports such minimization 
     procedures and any changes thereto to the Permanent Select 
     Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives and 
     the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate at least 
     30 days before their effective date, unless the Attorney 
     General determines that immediate action is required and 
     notifies the committees immediately of such minimization 
     procedures and the reason for their becoming effective 
     immediately.
       ``(2) A physical search authorized by this subsection may 
     be conducted only in accordance with the certification and 
     minimization procedures adopted by the Attorney General. The 
     Attorney General shall assess compliance with such procedures 
     and shall report such assessments to the Permanent Select 
     Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives and 
     the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate under the 
     provisions of section 306.
       ``(3) The Attorney General shall immediately transmit under 
     seal to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court a copy of 
     the certification. Such certification shall be maintained 
     under security measures established by the Chief Justice of 
     the United States with the concurrence of the Attorney 
     General, in consultation with the Director of Central 
     Intelligence, and shall remain sealed unless--
       ``(A) an application for a court order with respect to the 
     physical search is made under section 301(4) and section 303; 
     or
       ``(B) the certification is necessary to determine the 
     legality of the physical search under section 305(g).
       ``(4)(A) With respect to physical searches authorized by 
     this subsection, the Attorney General may direct a specified 
     landlord, custodian, or other specified person to--
       ``(i) furnish all information, facilities, or assistance 
     necessary to accomplish the physical search in such a manner 
     as will protect its secrecy and produce a minimum of 
     interference with the services that such landlord, custodian, 
     or other person is providing the target of the physical 
     search; and
       ``(ii) maintain under security procedures approved by the 
     Attorney General and the Director of Central Intelligence any 
     records concerning the search or the aid furnished that such 
     person wishes to retain.
       ``(B) The Government shall compensate, at the prevailing 
     rate, such landlord, custodian, or other person for 
     furnishing such aid.
       ``(b) Applications for a court order under this title are 
     authorized if the President has, by written authorization, 
     empowered the Attorney General to approve applications to the 
     Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Notwithstanding any 
     other provision of law, a judge of the court to whom 
     application is made may grant an order in accordance with 
     section 304 approving a physical search in the United States 
     of the premises, property, information, or material of a 
     foreign power or an agent of a foreign power for the purpose 
     of collecting foreign intelligence information.
       ``(c) The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court shall 
     have jurisdiction to hear applications for and grant orders 
     approving a physical search for the purpose of obtaining 
     foreign intelligence information anywhere within the United 
     States under the procedures set forth in this title, except 
     that no judge shall hear the same application which has been 
     denied previously by another judge designated under section 
     103(a) of this Act. If any judge so designated denies an 
     application for an order authorizing a physical search under 
     this title, such judge shall provide immediately for the 
     record a written statement of each reason for such decision 
     and, on motion of the United States, the record shall be 
     transmitted, under seal, to the court of review established 
     under section 103(b).
       ``(d) The court of review established under section 103(b) 
     shall have jurisdiction to review the denial of any 
     application made under this title. If such court determines 
     that the application was properly denied, the court shall 
     immediately provide for the record a written statement of 
     each reason for its decision and, on petition of the United 
     States for a writ of certiorari, the record shall be 
     transmitted under seal to the Su-

     preme Court, which shall have jurisdiction to review such 
     decision.
       ``(e) Judicial proceedings under this title shall be 
     concluded as expeditiously as possible. The record of 
     proceedings under this title, including applications made and

     established by the Chief Justice of the United States in 
     consultation with the Attorney General and the Director of

     Commission shall specifically consider the following:
       (1) What should be the roles and missions of the 
     intelligence community in terms of providing support to the 
     defense and foreign policy establishments and how should 
     these relate to tactical intelligence activities.
       (2) Whether the roles and missions of the intelligence 
     community should extend beyond the traditional areas of 
     providing support to the defense and foreign policy 
     establishments, and, if so, what areas should be considered 
     legitimate for intelligence collection and analysis, and 
     whether such areas should include for example, economic 
     issues, environmental issues, and health issues.
       (3) What functions, if any, should continue to be assigned 
     to the organizations of the intelligence community, including 
     the Central Intelligence Agency, and what capabilities should 
     these organizations retain for the future.

     framework of the organizations of the intelligence community, 
     including the Central Intelligence Agency, provide the 
     optimal structure for the accomplishment of their missions.
       (5) Whether existing principles and strategies governing 
     the acquisition and maintenance of intelligence collection 
     capabilities should be retained and what collection 
     capabilities should the Government retain to meet future 
     contingencies.
       (6) Whether intelligence analysis, as it is currently 
     structured and executed, adds sufficient value to information 
     otherwise available to the Government to justify its 
     continuation, and, if so, at what level of resources.
       (7) Whether the existing decentralized system of 
     intelligence analysis results in significant waste or 
     duplication, and, if so, what can be done to correct these 
     deficiencies.
       (8) Whether the existing arrangements for allocating 
     available resources to accomplish the roles and missions 
     assigned to intelligence agencies are adequate.
       (9) Whether the existing framework for coordinating among 
     intelligence agencies with respect to intelligence collection 
     and analysis and other activities, including training and 
     operational activities, provides an optimal structure for 
     such coordination.
       (10) Whether current personnel policies and practices of 
     intelligence agencies provide an optimal work force to 
     satisfy the needs of intelligence consumers.
       (11) Whether resources for intelligence activities should 
     continue to be allocated as part of the defense budget or be 
     treated by the President and Congress as a separate budgetary 
     program.
       (12) Whether the existing levels of resources allocated for 
     intelligence collection or intelligence analysis, or to 
     provide a capability to conduct covert actions, are seriously 
     at variance with United States needs.

     activity or areas where there is evidence of serious waste, 
     duplication, or mismanagement.
       (14) To what extent, if any, should the budget for United 
     States intelligence activities be publicly disclosed.
       (15) To what extent, if any, should the United States 
     intelligence community collect information bearing upon 
     private commercial activity and the manner in which such 
     information should be controlled and disseminated.
       (16) Whether counterintelligence policies and practices are 
     adequate to ensure that employees of intelligence agencies 
     are sensitive to security problems, and whether intelligence 
     agencies themselves have adequate authority and capability to 
     address perceived security problems.
       (17) The manner in which the size, missions, capabilities, 
     and resources of the United States intelligence community 
     compare to those of other countries.
       (18) Whether existing collaborative arrangements between 
     the United States and other countries in the area of 
     intelligence cooperation should be maintained and whether 
     such arrangements should be expanded to provide for increased 
     burdensharing.
       (19) Whether existing arrangements for sharing intelligence 
     with multinational organizations in support of mutually 
     shared objectives are adequate.

Para. 117.27  message from the president--national emergency with respect

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WATT, laid before the House a message

[[Page 2260]]

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 
United States persons in activities contrary to U.S. nonproliferation 
objectives and policies, and which may not be adequately controlled, 
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 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.  
  The White House, September 29, 1994.

  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. 103-319).

Para. 117.28  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to haiti

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WATT, 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, 1994, to the Federal Register for publication.
  Resolution of the crisis between the United States and Haiti is in 
sight as a result of the September 18 agreement reached in Port-au-
Prince by the delegation led by former President Carter. Pursuant to 
that agreement I have announced that all unilateral United States 
sanctions against Haiti will be suspended with the exception of the 
blocking of the assets of any persons subject to the blocking provisions 
of Executive Orders Nos. 12775, 12779, 12853, 12872, or 12914 and 
Haitian citizens who are members of the immediate family of any such 
person as identified by the Secretary of the Treasury.
  At the same time, the United Nations Security Council, with our 
support, has decided that the sanctions established in Resolutions 841 
and 917 should remain in force, consistent with the provisions of 
Resolutions 917 and 940, until the military leaders in Haiti relinquish 
power and President Aristide returns to Haiti. That may well not occur 
before October 4, 1994. Therefore, 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.
  While the UN Security Council sanctions remain in force and in order 
to enable the multinational forces to carry out their mission and to 
promote the betterment of the Haitian people in the interval until 
President Aristide's return, I have directed that steps be taken in 
accordance with Resolutions 917 and 940 to permit supplies and services 
to flow to Haiti to restore health care, water and electrical services, 
to provide construction materials for humanitarian programs, and to 
allow the shipment of communications, agricultural, and educational 
materials. This will allow the Haitian people to begin the process of 
reconciliation and rebuilding without delay.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, September 30, 1994.

  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. 103-320).

       Section 508 (7 U.S.C. 1508) is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 508. CROP INSURANCE.

       ``(a) Authority to Offer Insurance.--
       ``(1) In general.--If sufficient actuarial data are 
     available (as determined by the Corporation), the Corporation 
     may insure, or provide reinsurance for insurers of, producers 
     of agricultural commodities grown in the United States under 
     1 or more plans of insurance determined by the Corporation to 
     be adapted to the agricultural commodity concerned. To 
     qualify for coverage under a plan of insurance, the losses of 
     the insured commodity must be due to drought, flood, or other 
     natural disaster (as determined by the Secretary).
       ``(2) Period.--Except in the cases of tobacco and potatoes, 
     insurance shall not extend beyond the period during which the 
     insured commodity is in the field. As used in the preceding 
     sentence, in the case of an aquacultural species, the term 
     `field' means the environment in which the commodity is 
     produced.
       ``(3) Exclusions.--Insurance provided under this subsection 
     shall not cover losses due to--
       ``(A) the neglect or malfeasance of the producer;
       ``(B) the failure of the producer to reseed to the same 
     crop in such areas and under such circumstances as it is 
     customary to reseed; or
       ``(C) the failure of the producer to follow good farming 
     practices (as determined by the Secretary).
       ``(4) Expansion to other areas or single producers.--
       ``(A) Area expansion.--The Corporation may offer plans of 
     insurance or reinsurance for production of agricultural 
     commodities in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin 
     Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the 
     Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall 
     Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic 
     of Palau in the same manner as provided in this section for 
     production of agricultural commodities in the United States.
       ``(B) Producer expansion.--In an area in the United States 
     or specified in subparagraph (A) where crop insurance is not 
     available for a particular agricultural commodity, the 
     Corporation may offer to enter into a written agreement with 
     an individual producer operating in the area for insurance 
     coverage under this title if the producer has actuarially 
     sound data relating to the production by the producer of the 
     commodity and the data is acceptable to the Corporation.
       ``(5) Dissemination of crop insurance information.--The 
     Corporation shall make available to producers through local 
     offices of the Department--
       ``(A) current and complete information on all aspects of 
     Federal crop insurance; and
       ``(B) a listing of insurance agents and companies offering 
     to sell crop insurance in the area of the producers.
       ``(6) Addition of new and specialty crops.--
       ``(A) Data collection.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of enactment of this paragraph, the Secretary shall 
     issue guidelines for publication in the Federal Register for 
     data collection to assist the Corporation in formulating crop 
     insurance policies for new and specialty crops.
       ``(B) Addition of new crops.--Not later than 1 year after 
     the date of enactment of this paragraph, and annually 
     thereafter, the Corporation shall report to Congress on the 
     progress and expected timetable for expanding crop insurance 
     coverage under this title to new and specialty crops.
       ``(C) Addition of direct sale perishable crops.--Not later 
     than 1 year after the date of enactment of this paragraph, 
     the Corporation shall report to Congress on the feasibility 
     of offering a crop insurance program designed to meet the 
     needs of specialized producers of vegetables and other 
     perishable crops who market through direct marketing 
     channels.
       ``(b) Catastrophic Risk Protection.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Corporation shall offer a 
     catastrophic risk protection plan to indemnify producers for 
     crop loss due to loss of yield or prevented planting, if 
     provided by the Corporation, when the producer is unable, 
     because of drought, flood, or other natural disaster (as 
     determined by the Secretary), to plant other crops for 
     harvest on the acreage for the crop year.
       ``(2) Amount of coverage.--
       ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B)--
       ``(i) in the case of each of the 1995 through 1998 crop 
     years, catastrophic risk protection shall offer a producer 
     coverage for a 50 percent loss in yield, on an individual 
     yield or area yield basis, indemnified at 60 percent of the 
     expected market price, or a comparable coverage (as 
     determined by the Corporation); and
       ``(ii) in the case of each of the 1999 and subsequent crop 
     years, catastrophic risk protection shall offer a producer 
     coverage for a 50 percent loss in yield, on an individual 
     yield or area yield basis, indemnified at 55 percent of the 
     expected market price, or a comparable coverage (as 
     determined by the Corporation).
       ``(B) Reduction in actual payment.--The amount paid to a 
     producer on a claim under catastrophic risk protection may 
     reflect a reduction that is proportional to the out-of-pocket 
     expenses that are not incurred by the producer as a result of 
     not planting, growing, or harvesting the crop for which the 
     claim is made, as determined by the Corporation.
       ``(3) Yield and loss basis.--A producer shall have the 
     option of basing the catastrophic coverage of the producer on 
     an individual yield and loss basis or on an area yield and 
     loss basis, if both options are offered by the Corporation.
       ``(4) Sale of catastrophic risk coverage.--
       ``(A) In general.--Catastrophic risk coverage may be 
     offered by--
       ``(i) approved insurance providers, if available in an 
     area; and
       ``(ii) at the option of the Secretary that is based on 
     considerations of need, local offices of the Department.
       ``(B) Need.--For purposes of considering need under 
     subparagraph (A)(ii), the Secretary may take into account the 
     most efficient and cost-effective use of resources, the 
     availability of personnel, fairness to local producers, the 
     needs and convenience of local producers, and the 
     availability of private insurance carriers.
       ``(5) Administrative fee.--
       ``(A) Fee required.--Producers shall pay an administrative 
     fee for catastrophic risk protection. The administrative fee 
     for each producer shall be $50 per crop per county, but not 
     to exceed $200 per producer per county up to a maximum of 
     $600 per producer for all counties in which a producer has 
     insured crops. The administrative fee shall be paid by the 
     producer at the time the producer applies for catastrophic 
     risk protection.
       ``(B) Use of fees.--
       ``(i) Fees up to $100.--

       ``(I) Fees collected by usda offices.--Not more than $100 
     of the administrative fees paid by a producer for 
     catastrophic risk coverage that are collected by an office of 
     the Department shall be credited to the appropriations 
     account providing funds for the payment of operating and 
     administrative expenses incurred for the delivery of 
     catastrophic risk protection under this section. The fees 
     shall be collected in accordance with appropriation Acts and 
     shall be available until expended without fiscal year 
     limitation for the payment of the expenses.
       ``(II) Fees collected by approved insurance providers.--Not 
     more than $100 of the administrative fees paid by a producer 
     for catastrophic risk coverage that are collected by an 
     approved insurance provider shall be retained by the provider 
     as payment for operating and administrative expenses incurred 
     for the delivery of catastrophic risk protection.

       ``(ii) Fees in excess of $100.--Notwithstanding the 
     authority granted to the Secretary under the Federal Crop 
     Insurance Corporation account provisions of the Agricultural, 
     Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related 
     Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995, all fees collected under 
     this subsection in excess of $100 per producer per county 
     shall be deposited in the crop insurance fund established 
     under section 516(c), to be available for the programs and 
     activities of the Corporation.
       ``(C) Waiver of fee.--The Corporation shall waive the 
     administrative fee for limited resource farmers, as defined 
     by the Corporation.
       ``(6) Participation requirement.--A producer may obtain 
     catastrophic risk coverage for a crop of the producer on land 
     in the county only if the producer obtains the coverage for 
     the crop on all insurable land of the producer in the county.
       ``(7) Eligibility for department programs.--
       ``(A) In general.--To be eligible for any price support or 
     production adjustment program, the conservation reserve 
     program, or any benefit described in section 371 of the 
     Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, the producer 
     must obtain at least the catastrophic level of insurance for 
     each crop of economic significance grown on each farm in the 
     county in which the producer has an interest, if insurance is 
     available in the county for the crop.
       ``(B) Definition of crop of economic significance.--As used 
     in this paragraph, the term `crop of economic significance' 
     means a crop that has contributed, or is expected to 
     contribute, 10 percent or more of the total expected value of 
     all crops grown by the producer.
       ``(8) Limitation due to risk.--The Corporation may limit 
     catastrophic risk coverage in any county or area, or on any 
     farm, on the basis of the insurance risk concerned.
       ``(9) Transitional coverage for 1995 crops.--Effective only 
     for a 1995 crop planted or for which insurance attached prior 
     to January 1, 1995, the Corporation shall allow producers of 
     the crops until not later than the end of the 180-day period 
     beginning on the date of enactment of the Federal Crop 
     Insurance Reform Act of 1994 to obtain catastrophic risk 
     protection for the crop. On enactment of such Act, a producer 
     who made timely purchases of a crop insurance policy before 
     the date of enactment of such Act, under the provisions of 
     this title then in effect, shall be eligible for the same 
     benefits to which a producer would be entitled under 
     comparable additional coverage under subsection (c).
       ``(10) Simplification.--
       ``(A) Catastrophic risk protection plans.--In developing 
     and carrying out the policies and procedures for a 
     catastrophic risk protection plan under this title, the 
     Corporation shall, to the maximum extent prac- 

[[Page 2270]]

     ticable, minimize the paperwork required and the complexity 
     and costs of procedures governing applications for, 
     processing, and servicing of the plan for all parties 
     involved.
       ``(B) Other plans.--To the extent that the policies and 
     procedures developed under subparagraph (A) may be applied to 
     other plans of insurance offered under this title without 
     jeopardizing the actuarial soundness or integrity of the crop 
     insurance program, the Corporation shall apply the policies 
     and procedures to the other plans of insurance within a 
     reasonable period of time (as determined by the Corporation) 
     after the effective date of this paragraph.
       ``(c) General Coverage Levels.--
       ``(1) Additional coverage generally.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Corporation shall offer to producers 
     of agricultural commodities grown in the United States plans 
     of crop insurance that provide additional coverage.
       ``(B) Purchase.--To be eligible for additional coverage, a 
     producer must apply to an approved insurance provider for 
     purchase of additional coverage if the coverage is available 
     from an approved insurance provider. If additional coverage 
     is unavailable privately, the Corporation may offer 
     additional coverage plans of insurance directly to producers.
       ``(2) Transfer of relevant information.--If a producer has 
     already applied for catastrophic risk protection at the local 
     office of the Department and elects to purchase additional 
     coverage, the relevant information for the crop of the 
     producer shall be transferred to the approved insurance 
     provider servicing the additional coverage crop policy.
       ``(3) Yield and loss basis.--A producer shall have the 
     option of purchasing additional coverage based on an 
     individual yield and loss basis or on an area yield and loss 
     basis, if both options are offered by the Corporation.
       ``(4) Level of coverage.--The level of coverage shall be 
     dollar denominated and may be purchased at any level not to 
     exceed 85 percent of the individual yield or 95 percent of 
     the area yield (as determined by the Corporation). Not later 
     than the beginning of the 1996 crop year, the Corporation 
     shall provide producers with information on catastrophic risk 
     and additional coverage in terms of dollar coverage (within 
     the allowable limits of coverage provided in this paragraph).
       ``(5) Price level.--The Corporation shall establish a price 
     level for each commodity on which insurance is offered that--
       ``(A) shall not be less than the projected market price for 
     the commodity (as determined by the Corporation); or
       ``(B) at the discretion of the Corporation, may be based on 
     the actual market price at the time of harvest (as determined 
     by the Corporation).
       ``(6) Price elections.--
       ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), insurance 
     coverage shall be made available to a producer on the basis 
     of any price election that equals or is less than the price 
     election established by the Corporation. The coverage shall 
     be quoted in terms of dollars per acre.
       ``(B) Minimum price elections.--The Corporation may 
     establish minimum price elections below which levels of 
     insurance shall not be offered.
       ``(C) Wheat classes and malting barley.--The Corporation 
     shall, as the Corporation determines practicable, offer 
     producers different price elections for classes of wheat and 
     malting barley (including contract prices in the case of 
     malting barley), in addition to the standard price election, 
     that reflect different market prices, as determined by the 
     Corporation. The Corporation shall, as the Corporation 
     determines practicable, offer additional coverage for each 
     class determined under this subparagraph and charge a premium 
     for each class that is actuarially sound.
       ``(7) Fire and hail coverage.--For levels of additional 
     coverage equal to 65 percent or more of the recorded or 
     appraised average yield indemnified at 100 percent of the 
     expected market price, or an equivalent coverage, a producer 
     may elect to delete from the additional coverage any coverage 
     against damage caused by fire and hail if the producer 
     obtains an equivalent or greater dollar amount of coverage 
     for damage caused by fire and hail from an approved insurance 
     provider. On written notice of the election to the company 
     issuing the policy providing additional coverage and 
     submission of evidence of substitute coverage on the 
     commodity insured, the premium of the producer shall be 
     reduced by an amount determined by the Corporation to be 
     actuarially appropriate, taking into account the actuarial 
     value of the remaining coverage provided by the Corporation. 
     In no event shall the producer be given credit for an amount 
     of premium determined to be greater than the actuarial value 
     of the protection against losses caused by fire and hail that 
     is included in the additional coverage for the crop.
       ``(8) State premium subsidies.--The Corporation may enter 
     into an agreement with any State or agency of a State under 
     which the State or agency may pay to the approved insurance 
     provider an additional premium subsidy to further reduce the 
     portion of the premium paid by producers in the State.
       ``(9) Limitations on additional coverage.--The Board may 
     limit the availability of additional coverage under this 
     subsection in any county or area, or on any farm, on the 
     basis of the insurance risk involved. The Board shall not 
     offer additional coverage equal to less than 50 percent of 
     the recorded or appraised average yield indemnified at 100 
     percent of the expected market price, or an equivalent 
     coverage.
       ``(10) Administrative fee.--
       ``(A) Fee required.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
     paragraph, if a producer elects to purchase additional 
     coverage for a crop at a level that is less than 65 percent 
     of the recorded or appraised average yield indemnified at 100 
     percent of the expected market price, or an equivalent 
     coverage, the producer shall pay an administrative fee for 
     the additional coverage. Subsection (b)(5) shall apply in 
     determining the amount and use of the administrative fee or 
     in determining whether to waive the administrative fee.
       ``(B) Exception.--If a producer elects to purchase 
     additional coverage for a crop equal to 65 percent or more of 
     the recorded or appraised average yield indemnified at 100 
     percent of the expected market price, or an equivalent 
     coverage, the producer shall not be subject to the 
     administrative fee required by this paragraph or subsection 
     (b)(5). If the producer has already paid the administrative 
     fee for a lower level of coverage for the crop, the 
     administrative fee shall be refunded to the producer unless 
     the refund would reduce to less than $200 the total amount of 
     the administrative fees paid by the producer for 2 or more 
     crops in the same county for which a lower level of coverage 
     is obtained.
       ``(C) Additional fee.--If a producer elects to purchase 
     additional coverage for a crop equal to or exceeding 65 
     percent of the recorded or appraised average yield and 100 
     percent of the expected market price or an equivalent 
     coverage, the producer shall pay an administrative fee of $10 
     for the coverage. If a producer has already paid an 
     administrative fee for lesser coverage for the crop, the fee 
     for lesser coverage shall be refunded to the producer unless 
     the producer has paid the maximum fee for lesser coverage and 
     refund of the fee will not reduce the amount to be paid below 
     the maximum amount.
       ``(D) Deposit of fees.--Notwithstanding the authority 
     granted to the Secretary under the Federal Crop Insurance 
     Corporation account programs of the Agricultural, Rural 
     Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related 
     Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995, administrative fees 
     collected under subparagraph (B) in excess of $100 per 
     producer per county and under subparagraph (C) shall be 
     deposited in the insurance fund established under section 
     516(c) to be available for the programs and activities of the 
     Corporation.
       ``(d) Premiums.--
       ``(1) Premiums required.--The Corporation shall fix 
     adequate premiums for all the plans of insurance of the 
     Corporation at such rates as the Board determines are 
     actuarially sufficient to attain an expected loss ratio of 
     not greater than 1.1 through September 30, 1998, and not 
     greater than 1.075 after October 1, 1998.
       ``(2) Premium amounts.--The premium amounts for 
     catastrophic risk protection under subsection (b) and 
     additional coverage under subsection (c) shall be fixed as 
     follows:
       ``(A) In the case of catastrophic risk protection, the 
     amount of the premium shall be sufficient to cover 
     anticipated losses and a reasonable reserve.

       ``(3) Premium reduction.--If an approved insurance provider 
     determines that the provider may provide insurance more 
     efficiently than the expense reimbursement amount established 
     by the Corporation, the approved insurance provider may 
     reduce, subject to the approval of the Corporation, the 
     premium charged the insured by an amount corresponding to the 
     efficiency. The approved insurance provider shall apply to 
     the Corporation for authority to reduce the premium before 
     making such a reduction, and the reduction shall be subject 
     to the rules, limitations, and procedures established by the 
     Corporation.
       ``(4) Individual and area crop insurance coverage.--The 
     Corporation shall allow approved insurance providers to offer 
     a plan of insurance to producers that combines both 
     individual yield coverage and area yield coverage at a 
     premium rate determined by the provider under the following 
     conditions:

     greater than catastrophic risk protection as described in 
     subsection (b).

     unless the Corporation determines that the policy is not 
     actuarially sound or that the interests of producers are not 
     adequately protected.
       ``(f) Eligibility.--
       ``(1) In general.--To participate in catastrophic risk 
     protection coverage under this section, a producer shall 
     submit an application at the local office of the Department 
     or to an approved insurance provider.
       ``(2) Sales closing date.--For coverage under this title, 
     each producer shall purchase crop insurance on or before the 
     sales closing date for the crop by providing the required 
     information and executing the required documents. Subject to 
     the goal of ensuring actuarial soundness for the crop 
     insurance program, the sales closing date shall be 
     established by the Corporation to maximize convenience to 
     producers in obtaining benefits under price and production 
     adjustment programs of the Department. Beginning with the 
     1995 crop year, the Corporation shall establish, for an 
     insurance policy for each insurable crop that is planted in 
     the spring, a sales closing date that is 30 days earlier than 
     the corresponding sales closing date that was established for 
     the 1994 crop year.
       ``(3) Records and reporting.--To obtain catastrophic risk 
     protection under subsection (b) or additional coverage under 
     subsection (c), a producer shall--
       ``(A) provide, to the extent required by the Corporation, 
     records acceptable to the Corporation of historical acreage 
     and production of the crops for which the insurance is sought 
     or accept a yield determined by the Corporation; and
       ``(B) report acreage planted and prevented from planting by 
     the designated acreage reporting date for the crop and 
     location as established by the Corporation.
       ``(g) Yield Determinations.--
       ``(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the 
     Corporation shall establish crop insurance underwriting rules 
     that ensure that yield coverage, as specified in this 
     subsection, is provided to eligible producers obtaining 
     catastrophic risk protection under subsection (b) or 
     additional coverage under subsection (c).
       ``(2) Yield coverage plans.--
       ``(A) Actual production history.--Subject to subparagraph 
     (B), the yield for a crop shall be based on the actual 
     production history for the crop, if the crop was produced on 
     the farm without penalty during each of the 4 crop years 
     immediately preceding the crop year for which actual 
     production history is being established, building up to a 
     production data base for each of the 10 consecutive crop 
     years preceding the crop year for which actual production 
     history is being established.
       ``(B) Assigned yield.--If the producer does not provide 
     satisfactory evidence of the yield of a commodity under 
     subparagraph (A), the producer shall be assigned a yield that 
     is not less than 65 percent of the transitional yield of the 
     producer (adjusted to reflect actual production reflected in 
     the records acceptable to the Corporation for continuous 
     years), as specified in regulations issued by the Corporation 
     based on production history requirements.
       ``(C) Area yield.--The Corporation may offer a crop 
     insurance plan based on an area yield that allows an insured 
     producer to qualify for an indemnity if a loss has occurred 
     in an area (as specified by the Corporation) in which the 
     farm of the producer is located. Under an area yield plan, an 
     insured producer shall be allowed to select the level of area 
     production at which an indemnity will be paid consistent with 
     such terms and conditions as are established by the 
     Corporation.
       ``(D) Commodity-by-commodity basis.--A producer may choose 
     between individual yield or area yield coverage or combined 
     coverage (as provided in subsection (e)(4)), if available, on 
     a commodity-by-commodity basis.
       ``(3) Transitional yields for producers of feed or 
     forage.--
       ``(A) In general.--If a producer does not provide 
     satisfactory evidence of a yield under paragraph (2)(A), the 
     producer shall be assigned a yield that is at least 80 
     percent of the transitional yield established by the 
     Corporation (adjusted to reflect the actual production 
     history of the producer) if the Secretary determines that--
       ``(i) the producer grows feed or forage primarily for on-
     farm use in a livestock, dairy, or poultry operation; and
       ``(ii) over 50 percent of the net farm income of the 
     producer is derived from the operation.
       ``(B) Yield calculation.--The Corporation shall--
       ``(i) for the first year of participation of a producer, 
     provide the assigned yield under this paragraph to the 
     producer of feed or forage; and
       ``(ii) for the second year of participation of the 
     producer, apply the actual production history or assigned 
     yield requirement, as provided in this subsection.
       ``(C) Termination of authority.--The authority provided by 
     this paragraph shall terminate on the date that is 3 years 
     after the effective date of this paragraph.
       ``(h) Submission of Policies and Materials to Board.--
       ``(1) In general.--In addition to any standard forms or 
     policies that the Board may require be made available to 
     producers under subsection (c), a person may prepare for 
     submission or propose to the Board--

     submitted to the Board under this subsection may be prepared 
     without regard to the limitations contained in this title, 
     including the requirements concerning the levels of coverage 
     and rates and the requirement that a price level for each 
     commodity insured must equal the expected market price for 
     the commodity as established by the Board. In the case of 
     such a policy, the payment by the Corporation of a portion of 
     the premium of the policy may not exceed the amount that 
     would otherwise be authorized under subsection (e).
       ``(3) Review and approval by the board.--A policy or other 
     material submitted to the Board under this subsection shall 
     be reviewed by the Board and, if the Board finds that the 
     interests of producers are adequately protected and that any 
     premiums charged to the producers are actuarially 
     appropriate, shall be approved by the Board for reinsurance 
     and for sale to producers as an additional choice at 
     actuarially appropriate rates and under appropriate terms and 
     conditions. The Corporation may enter into more than 1 
     reinsurance agreement with the approved insurance provider 
     simultaneously to facilitate the offering of the new 
     policies.
       ``(4) Guidelines for submission and review.--The 
     Corporation shall issue regulations to establish guidelines 
     for the submission, and Board review, of policies or other 
     material submitted to the Board under this subsection. At a 
     minimum, the guidelines shall ensure the following:
       ``(A) A proposal submitted to the Board under this 
     subsection shall be considered as confidential commercial or 
     financial information for purposes of section 552(b)(4) of

     the applicant so desires.
       ``(C) The Board shall provide an applicant with 
     notification of intent to disapprove a proposal not later 
     than 30 days prior to making the disapproval. An applicant 
     that receives the notification may modify the application of 
     the applicant. Any modification shall be considered an 
     original application for purposes of this paragraph.
       ``(D) Specific guidelines shall prescribe the timing of 
     submission of proposals under this subsection and timely 
     consideration by the Board so that any approved proposal may 
     be made available to all persons reinsured by the Corporation 
     in a manner permitting the persons to participate, if the 
     persons so desire, in offering such a proposal in the first

     reinsurance, premium subsidy, or other support offered by 
     this title.

     determined by the Corporation to be adequate to provide a 
     comprehensive evaluation of the feasibility, effectiveness, 
     and demand among producers for the plan.

     by a producer if the gross income of the producer (as 
     determined by the Corporation) is less than an amount 
     determined by the Corporation, as a result of a reduction in 
     yield or price resulting from an insured cause.
       ``(D) Definition of new producer.--As used in this 
     paragraph, the term `new producer' means a person that has 
     not been actively engaged in farming for a share of the

     year in which the loss is experienced.

       ``(8) Pilot program of assigned yields for new producers.--
       ``(A) Program required.--For each of the 1995 and 1996 crop 
     years, the Corporation shall carry out a pilot program to 
     assign to eligible new producers higher assigned yields than 
     would otherwise be assigned to the producers under subsection 
     (g). The Corporation shall include in the pilot program 30 
     counties that are determined by the Corporation to be 
     adequate to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the 
     feasibility, effectiveness, and demand among new producers 
     for increased assigned yields.
       ``(B) Increased assigned yields.--In the case of an 
     eligible new producer participating in the pilot program, the 
     Corporation shall assign to the new producer a yield that is

     will improve the actuarial soundness of the insurance 
     operations of the Corporation for those crops that are 
     determined to be insured at rates that are not actuarially 
     sound, except that no rate may be increased by an amount of 
     more than 20 percent over the comparable rate of the 
     preceding crop year.
       ``(j) Claims for Losses.--
       ``(1) In general.--Under rules prescribed by the 
     Corporation, the Corporation may provide for adjustment and

     Corporation with the reinsured companies shall require the 
     reinsured companies to bear a sufficient share of any 
     potential loss under the agreement so as to ensure that the 
     reinsured company will sell and service policies of insurance

     financial condition of the reinsured companies and the 
     availability of private reinsurance.

     approved insurance providers and agents for the 
     administrative and operating costs of the providers and

     section 118 of the Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994, 
     and consistent with maintenance of program integrity, 
     prevention of fraud and abuse, the need for program 
     expansion, and improvement of quality of service to 
     customers, the Board shall alter program procedures and 
     administrative requirements in order to reduce the 
     administrative and operating costs of approved insurance 
     providers and agents in an amount that corresponds to any 
     reduction in the reimbursement rate required under paragraph 
     (4) during the 5-year period beginning on the date of 
     enactment of this paragraph.

     Corporation is achieving, or has achieved, corresponding 
     administrative cost savings shall not be subject to 
     administrative review, and is wholly committed to agency 
     discretion within the meaning of section 701(a)(2) of title 
     5, United States Code.
       ``(7) Plan.--The Corporation shall submit to Congress a

     specific risk protection programs, including protection 
     against prevented planting, wildlife depredation, tree damage 
     and disease, and insect infestation, under such terms and

       ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
     Corporation may conduct research, surveys, pilot programs, 
     and investigations relating to crop insurance and 
     agriculture-related risks and losses including insurance on

     drought and by insect infestation, livestock poisoning and 
     disease, destruction of bees due to the use of pesticides, 
     and other unique special risks related to fruits, nuts, 
     vegetables, aquacultural species, forest industry needs 
     (including appreciation), and other agricultural products as 
     determined by the Board.

     to a risk under paragraph (1) if insurance protection against 
     the risk is generally available from private companies.
       ``(3) Evaluation.--After the completion of any pilot 
     program under this subsection, the Corporation shall evaluate 
     the pilot program and submit to the Committee on Agriculture 
     of the House of Representatives and the Committee on

     Assistance.--
       ``(1) Timely application.--To be eligible for assistance 
     under this section, a producer shall submit an application

     as required by the Corporation, of previous crop acreage, 
     acreage yields, and production, or the producer shall accept

     Corporation.
       ``(3) Acreage reports.--A producer shall provide reports on 
     acreage planted or prevented from being planted, as required

     Corporation shall make a prevented planting noninsured crop 
     disaster assistance payment if the producer is prevented from

     disaster, as determined by the Secretary.
       ``(3) Reduced yields.--Subject to paragraph (1), the 
     Corporation shall make a reduced yield noninsured crop 
     disaster assistance payment to a producer if the total

     harvest on any farm is, because of drought, flood, or other 
     natural disaster as determined by the Secretary, less than 50 
     percent of the expected individual yield for the crop, as 
     determined by the Corporation, factored for the interest of 
     the producer for the crop.
       ``(d) Payment.--The Corporation shall make available to a 
     producer eligible for noninsured assistance under this 
     section a payment computed by multiplying--

     established yield for the crop; by
       ``(2)(A) in the case of each of the 1995 through 1998 crop 
     years, 60 percent of the average market price for the crop

     years, 55 percent of the average market price for the crop

     significant and variable harvesting expense, reflects the 
     decreasing cost incurred in the production cycle for the crop

     determine yield coverage using the actual production history 
     of the producer over a period of not less than the 4 previous 
     consecutive crop years and not more than 10 consecutive crop 
     years. Subject to paragraph (3), the yield for the year in 
     which noninsured crop disaster assistance is sought shall be 
     equal to the average of the

[[Page 2274]]

     actual production history of the producer during the period 
     considered.
       ``(3) Assignment of yield.--If a producer does not submit 
     adequate documentation of production history to determine a 
     crop yield under paragraph (2), the Corporation shall assign 
     to the producer a yield equal to not less than 65 percent of 
     the transitional yield of the producer (adjusted to reflect 
     actual production reflected in the records acceptable to the 
     Corporation for continuous years), as specified in 
     regulations issued by the Corporation based on production 
     history requirements.
       ``(4) Prohibition on assigned yields in certain counties.--
       ``(A) In general.--
       ``(i) Documentation.--If sufficient data are available to 
     demonstrate that the acreage of a crop in a county for the 
     crop year has increased by more than 100 percent over any 
     year in the preceding 7 crop years or, if data are not 
     available, if the acreage of the crop in the county has 
     increased significantly from the previous crop years, a 
     producer must provide such detailed documentation of 
     production costs, acres planted, and yield for the crop year 
     for which benefits are being claimed as is required by the 
     Corporation. If the Corporation determines that the 
     documentation provided is not sufficient, the Corporation may 
     require documenting proof that the crop, had the crop been 
     harvested, could have been marketed at a reasonable price.
       ``(ii) Prohibition.--Except as provided in subparagraph 
     (B), a producer who produces a crop on a farm located in a 
     county described in clause (i) may not obtain an assigned 
     yield.
       ``(B) Exception.--A crop or a producer shall not be subject 
     to this subsection if--
       ``(i) the planted acreage of the producer for the crop has 
     been inspected by a third party acceptable to the Secretary;

       ``(ii)(I) the County Executive Director and the State 
     Executive Director recommend an exemption from the 
     requirement to the Deputy Administrator for State and County 
     Operations of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation 
     Service; and
       ``(II) the Deputy Administrator approves the 
     recommendation.
       ``(5) Limitation on receipt of subsequent assigned yield.--
     A producer who receives an assigned yield for the current 
     year of a natural disaster because required production 
     records were not submitted to the local office of the 
     Department shall not be eligible for an assigned yield for 
     the year of the next natural disaster unless the required 
     production records of the previous 1 or more years (as 
     applicable) are provided to the local office.
       ``(6) Yield variations due to different farming 
     practices.--The Corporation shall ensure that noninsured crop 
     disaster assistance accurately reflects significant yield 
     variations due to different farming practices, such as 
     between irrigated and nonirrigated acreage.
       ``(f) Contract Payments.--A producer who has received a 
     guaranteed payment for production, as opposed to delivery, of 
     a crop pursuant to a contract shall have the production of 
     the producer adjusted upward by the amount of the production 
     equal to the amount of the contract payment received.
       ``(g) Payment of Losses.--Payments for noninsured crop 
     disaster assistance losses under this section shall be made 
     from the insurance fund established under section 516. The 
     losses shall not be included in calculating the premiums 
     charged to producers for insurance under section 508.
       ``(h) Exclusions.--Noninsured crop disaster assistance 
     under this section shall not cover losses due to--
       ``(A) the neglect or malfeasance of the producer;
       ``(B) the failure of the producer to reseed to the same 
     crop in those areas and under such circumstances where it is 
     customary to reseed; or
       ``(C) the failure of the producer to follow good farming 
     practices, as determined by the Corporation.''.

     administrative finality of a final determination of an appeal 
     by the Division, the Secretary shall have the authority to

     The Secretary of Agriculture shall establish in the 
     Department of Agriculture an Office of Risk Assessment and 
     Cost-Benefit Analysis, which shall be under the direction of 
     a Director appointed by the Secretary.
       (b) Functions.--The Director shall ensure that any 
     regulatory analysis that is conducted under this section 
     includes a risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis that is 
     performed consistently and uses reasonably obtainable and 
     sound scientific, technical, economic, and other data.
       (1) In general.--Effective six months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture shall 
     publish in the Federal Register, for each proposed major 
     regulation the primary purpose of which is to regulate issues 
     of human health, human safety, or the environment that is 
     promulgated by the Department after the enactment of this 
     Act, an analysis with as much specificity as practicable, 
     of--
       (A) the risk, including the effect of the risk, to human 
     health, human safety, or the environment, and any combination 
     thereof, addressed by the regulation, including, where 
     applicable and practicable, the health and safety risks to 
     persons who are disproportionately exposed or particularly 
     sensitive;
       (B) the costs associated with the implementation of, and 
     compliance with, the regulation;
       (C) where appropriate and meaningful, a comparison of that 
     risk relative to other similar risks regulated by the 
     Department or other Federal Agency, resulting from comparable 
     activities and exposure pathways (such comparisons should 
     consider relevant distinctions among risks, such as the 
     voluntary or involuntary nature of risks and the 
     preventability or nonpreventability of risks); and
       (D) the quantitative and qualitative benefits of the 
     regulation, including the reduction or prevention of risk 
     expected from the regulation.

     Where such a regulatory analysis is not practicable because 
     of compelling circumstances, the Director shall provide an 
     explanation in lieu of conducting an analysis under this 
     section.
       (2) Evaluation.--The regulatory analysis referred to in 
     paragraph (1) should also contain a statement that the 
     Secretary of Agriculture evaluated--
       (A) whether the regulation will advance the purpose of 
     protecting against the risk referred to in paragraph (1)(A); 
     and
       (B) whether the regulation will produce benefits and reduce 
     risks to human health, human safety, or the environment, and 
     any combination thereof, in a cost-effective manner as a 
     result of the implementation of and compliance with the 
     regulation, by local, State, and Federal Government and other 
     public and private entities, as estimated in paragraph 
     (1)(B).
       (3) This section shall not be construed to amend, modify, 
     or alter any statute and shall not be subject to judicial 
     review. This section shall not be construed to grant a cause 
     of action to any person. The Secretary of Agriculture shall 
     perform the analyses required in this section in such a 
     manner that does not delay the promulgation or implementation 
     of regulations mandated by statute or judicial order.
       (c) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``major 
     regulation'' means any regulation that the Secretary of 
     Agriculture estimates is likely to have an annual impact on 
     the economy of the United States of $100,000,000 in 1994 
     dollars.

     SEC. 305. FAIR AND EQUITABLE TREATMENT OF SOCIALLY 
                   DISADVANTAGED PRODUCERS.

     Yields.--If the Secretary of Agriculture determines that crop 
     acreage bases or farm program payment yields established for 
     farms owned or operated by socially disadvantaged producers 
     are not established in accordance with title V of the 
     Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1461 et seq.), the

     requirements of such title and make available any appropriate 
     commodity program benefits.
       (b) Fair Application of Consolidated Farm and Rural 
     Development Act.--If the Secretary of Agriculture determines 
     that application of the Consolidated Farm and Rural 
     Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1921 et seq.) with respect to 
     socially disadvantaged producers is not consistent with the 
     requirements of such Act, the Secretary shall make such 
     changes in the administration of such Act as the Secretary 
     considers necessary to provide for the fair and equitable 
     treatment of socially disadvantaged producers under such Act.
       (c) Report on Treatment of Socially Disadvantaged 
     Producers.--
       (1) Report required.--The Comptroller General of the United 
     States shall prepare a report to determine--
       (A) whether socially disadvantaged producers are 
     underrepresented on State, county, area, or local committees 
     established under section 8(b)(5) of the Soil Conservation 
     and Domestic Allotment Act (16 U.S.C. 590h(b)(5)) or local 
     review committees established under section 363 of the 
     Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1363) because 
     of racial, ethnic, or gender prejudice; and
       (B) if such underrepresentation exists, whether it inhibits 
     or interferes with the participation of socially 
     disadvantaged producers in programs of the Department of 
     Agriculture.
       (2) Submission of report.--Not later than February 1, 1995, 
     the Comptroller General shall submit the report required by

[[Page 2285]]

     mittee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate.
       (d) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``socially disadvantaged producer'' means a producer who is a 
     member of a group whose members have been subjected to 
     racial, ethnic, or gender prejudice because of their identity 
     as members of a group without regard to their individual 
     qualities.

     SEC. 306. AVIATION INSPECTIONS.

       (a) Study Regarding Acceptance of Federal Aviation 
     Administration Aircraft Inspections.--
       (1) Intent of study.--The intent of the study required by 
     this subsection is to examine the cost efficiencies of 
     conducting inspections of aircraft and pilots by one Federal 
     agency without reducing aircraft, passenger, or pilot safety 
     standards or lowering mission preparedness.
       (2) Study required.--The Secretary of Agriculture and the 
     Secretary of Transportation shall jointly conduct a study of 
     the inspection specifications and procedures by which 
     aircraft and pilots contracted by the Department are 
     certified to determine the cost efficiencies of eliminating 
     duplicative Department inspection requirements and 
     transferring some or all inspection requirements to the 
     Federal Aviation Administration, while ensuring that neither 
     aircraft, passenger, nor pilot safety is reduced and that 
     mission preparedness is maintained.
       (3) Special considerations.--In conducting the study, the 
     Secretaries shall evaluate current inspection specifications 
     and procedures mandated by the Department and the Forest 
     Service, taking into consideration the unique requirements 
     and risks of particular Department and Forest Service 
     missions that may require special inspection specifications 
     and procedures to ensure the safety of Department and Forest 
     Service personnel and their contractees.
       (4) Maintenance of standards and preparedness.--In making 
     recommendations to transfer inspection authority or otherwise 
     change Department inspection specifications and procedures, 
     the Secretaries shall ensure that the implementation of any 
     such recommendations does not lower aircraft or pilot 
     standards or preparedness for Department or Forest Service 
     missions.
       (5) Submission of results.--Not later than 180 days after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretaries shall 
     submit to Congress the results of the study, including any 
     recommendations to transfer inspection authority or otherwise 
     change Department inspection specifications and procedures 
     and a cost-benefit analysis of such recommendations.
       (b) Review of Recently Adopted Aircraft Policy.--
       (1) Review required.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall 
     review the policy initiated by the Secretary on July 1, 1994, 
     to accept Federal Aviation Administration inspections on 
     aircraft and pilots that provide ``airport to airport'' 
     service for the Forest Service. The policy is currently being 
     cooperatively developed by the Department and the Federal 
     Aviation Administration and is intended to reduce duplicative 
     inspections and to reduce Government costs, while maintaining 
     aircraft, passenger, and pilot safety standards, 
     specifications and procedures currently required by the 
     Department and the Forest Service.
       (2) Expansion of policy.--As part of the review, the 
     Secretary of Agriculture shall examine the feasibility and 
     desirability of applying this policy on a Government-wide 
     basis.
       (3) Submission of results.--Not later than one year after 
     the date of the implementation of the policy, the Secretary 
     of Agriculture shall submit to Congress the results of the 
     review, including any recommendations that the Secretary 
     considers appropriate.

Para. 118.37  condemn sinking of tugboat by cuba

  Mr. MENENDEZ moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 279); as amended: 

       Whereas there are credible reports that on July 13, 1994, 
     vessels of the Cuban Government fired high-pressure water 
     hoses, repeatedly rammed, and deliberately sank the ``13th of 
     March'', a tugboat carrying 72 unarmed Cuban citizens;
       Whereas approximately 40 of the men, women, and children 
     passengers on the ``13th of March'' drowned as a result of 
     the actions of the Cuban Government, including over 20 
     children aboard;
       Whereas President Clinton deplored the sinking of the 
     ``13th of March'' as ``another example of the brutal nature 
     of the Cuban regime'';
       Whereas on August 20, 1994, the President pledged that 
     ``The United States will continue to bring before the United 
     Nations and other international organizations evidence of 
     human rights abuses, such as the sinking of the tugboat `13th 
     of March.' Meanwhile, we will pursue this matter with vigor 
     and determination.'';
       Whereas all of the male survivors of the ``13th of March'' 
     have been imprisoned by the Cuban Government;
       Whereas the freedom to emigrate is an internationally 
     recognized human right and freedom's fundamental guarantor of 
     last resort; and
       Whereas the Cuban Government, by prohibiting the existence 
     of a free press and by jamming TV and Radio Marti, denies the 
     Cuban people for the right of free access to information, 
     including information about this tragedy: Now, therefore, be 
     it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--
       (1) condemns the Cuban Government for deliberately sinking 
     on July 13, 1994, the ``13th of March'', a tugboat carrying 
     72 unarmed Cuban citizens, causing the death of approximately 
     40 Cuban citizens, including over 20 children;
       (2) urges the President to direct the United States 
     Representative to the United Nations to urge the United 
     Nations Security Council to adopt a resolution that--
       (A) condemns the sinking of the ``13th of March''; and
       (B) provides for a full internationally supervised 
     investigation of the incident;
       (3) urges the President to direct the United States 
     Representative to the United Nations to urge the United 
     Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to investigate the 
     sinking of the ``13th of March''; and
       (4) urges the Cuban Government--
       (A) to release from prison and cease intimidation measures 
     against all survivors of the sinking of the ``13th of 
     March'';
       (B) to identify all individuals missing from such sinking;
       (C) to recover the bodies of the dead from such sinking; 
     and
       (D) to return such bodies to their families so that these 
     men, women, and children may have appropriate burial 
     services.

Para. 118.39  commend work of u.s. labor attache corps

  Mr. MENENDEZ moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 257); as amended: 

       Whereas the integration of the global economy is 
     accelerating;
       Whereas capital and technology are now easily transferred 
     across national borders and throughout the world, while labor 
     policies remain comparatively bound by national policies and 
     allegiances;
       Whereas the importance of promoting international respect 
     for fundamental worker rights and labor standards is crucial 
     to building broader support for balanced, equitable, and 
     sustainable growth in an expanding global economy;
       Whereas there exists a growing body of international law 
     and international trade agreements, some of which originated 
     in the early 1900s, that firmly establish the free exercise 
     of fundamental worker rights, improved working conditions, 
     and rising living standards as essential requirements of fair 
     competition in a healthy, open, growing global economy;
       Whereas in 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt, as part of 
     the Atlantic Charter, committed the United States to ``the 
     fullest collaboration between all nations in the economic 
     field with the object of securing, for all, improved labor 
     standards, economic advancement, and social security'';
       Whereas the United States Government during World War II 
     recognized the crucial importance of the needs, interests, 
     and aspirations of all working people in general and the role 
     that trade unions in particular would play in the 
     reconstruction of Europe and the future development of newly 
     independent nations;
       Whereas the United States Labor Attache Corps was 
     established within the United States Government in 1943 and 
     individual labor attaches ever since have been posted to 
     United States embassies in scores of foreign countries to 
     study and encourage the concurrent development of 
     professional labor ministries within foreign governments and 
     strong, independent, indigenous trade unions among working 
     people in foreign countries;
       Whereas the United States Labor Attache Corps throughout 
     the cold war played a crucial role in the struggle against 
     Communism and in building support for freedom and democratic 
     values and institutions throughout the world;
       Whereas there is an increasing need for the American people 
     and their policymakers in the post-cold war era to better 
     understand the needs, interests, and aspiration of working 
     people abroad and the concerns that they share in common with 
     working people in the United States;
       Whereas the United States Labor Attache Corps continues to 
     reach beyond the traditional focus of the United States 
     Foreign Service upon senior foreign government officials to 
     attain a broader, in-depth understanding of grassroots 
     concerns and developments among working people in foreign 
     countries and the wider significance those concerns hold for 
     political processes and socioeconomic developments within 
     foreign countries;
       Whereas the United States Labor Attache Corps for 50 years 
     has demonstrated repeatedly the crucial importance of free, 
     independent, and democratic trade unions to the development 
     of free, independent, and democratic societies, thus 
     advancing the profound national interest of the United States 
     in promoting the further development of democratic values, 
     processes, and institutions throughout the world;
       Whereas the United States Labor Attache Corps facilitates 
     many useful international exchanges between organized and 
     unorganized United States and foreign workers and assists 
     with a wide range of the international activities of several 
     United States executive agencies, including the Department of 
     State, the Department of Labor, and the Office of the United 
     States Trade Representative;
       Whereas the national labor policies and standards of 
     foreign countries, and the extent to which the governments of 
     foreign countries are meeting and enforcing their legal 
     obligations in this regard, are increasingly important 
     factors in fair trade, particularly in determining whether 
     consumer markets with broad-based purchasing power will 
     emerge in those countries and whether most foreign workers in 
     those countries will ever be able to buy United States 
     exports, thus making the monitoring and reporting functions 
     of the United States Labor Attache Corps of growing 
     importance; and
       Whereas President Clinton during his official visit to 
     Europe in January 1994 reaffirmed the United States 
     commitment to promoting respect for the fundamental rights of 
     workers everywhere and to pursuing policies that will enable 
     working people in the United States and abroad to share more 
     fully in the benefits of expanding international trade and 
     investment in the global economy: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That--
       (1) the Congress commends the United States Labor Attache 
     Corps for the historic role it has played throughout the past 
     50 years in nurturing freedom and assisting in the 
     development of democratic values and processes throughout the 
     world; and
       (2) the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Labor 
     should jointly--
       (A) review the mission and organization of the United 
     States Labor Attache Corps, and determine what reforms are 
     necessary to redesign and assure continued relevance of the 
     work of the Corps in the post-cold war era;
       (B) implement such reforms to the extent possible under 
     existing law, and consistent with existing resources;
       (C) design and implement an interagency recruitment and 
     training program to assure sufficient qualified personnel for 
     the Corps, and to enhance the professional development of 
     existing personnel, consistent with the continuing need for 
     monitoring and reporting on the needs, interests and 
     aspirations of working people in foreign countries;
       (D) develop a plan to assure that a labor counselor, 
     attache or reporting officer is assigned to every United 
     States Embassy abroad by January 1, 1997, and determine what 
     additional resources are necessary to achieve this goal; and
       (E) not later than October 31, 1994 January 1, 1995, submit 
     a report to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and 
     the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, detailing 
     the outcome of the review conducted and the steps undertaken 
     pursuant to this section, and recommending such changes in 
     law and such additional resources as may be necessary to 
     implement needed further reforms.

Mr. SMITH of New Jersey, each for 20 minutes.

  Will the House suspend the rules and agree to said concurrent

the rules were suspended and said concurrent resolution, as amended, was

       Whereas President Alfredo Cristiani decisively led the 
     Government of El Salvador in successful negotiations which 
     ended that country's 12-year civil war;
       Whereas President Cristiani initiated and oversaw the 
     implementation of the important initial stages of the 1992 
     Peace Agreement, overcoming numerous obstacles in the 
     process;
       Whereas the people of the United States and El Salvador 
     recognize President Cristiani's historic achievement and the 
     central role he has played in promoting genuine national 
     reconciliation in El Salvador;
       Whereas President Cristiani ended his term of office on 
     June 1, 1994, transferring the powers of the presidency to 
     his democratically elected successor; and
       Whereas this smooth and unprecedented democratic transition 
     could not have taken place had it not been for the efforts of 
     President Cristiani to achieve peace in El Salvador: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That the Congress--

Para. 118.79  message from the president--national emergency with respect 
          to panama

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  1. I hereby report to the Congress on developments since the last 
Presidential report on November 9, 1993, which have resulted in the 
termination of the continued blocking of Panamanian government assets. 
This is the final report with respect to Panama pursuant to section 
207(d) of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 
1706(d).
  2. 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).
  3. The Panamanian Transactions Regulations, 31 CFR Part 565 (the 
``Regulations''), were amended effective May 9, 1994, to foster the 
resolution of U.S. persons' claims against the Government of Panama 
arising prior to the April 5, 1990, termination date. (59 Federal 
Register 24643, May 12, 1994.) A copy of the amendment is attached. The 
amendment, new section 565.512, includes a statement of licensing policy 
indicating that the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign 
Assets Control (``FAC'') would issue specific licenses authorizing the 
release of blocked Government of Panama funds at the request of that 
government to satisfy settlements, final judgments, and arbitral awards 
with respect to claims of U.S. persons arising prior to April 5, 1990. 
In addition, FAC stated that it would accept license applications from 
U.S. persons seeking judicial orders of attachment against blocked 
Government of Panama assets in satisfaction of final judgments entered 
against the Government of Panama, provided such applications are 
submitted no later than June 15, 1994.
  4. No applications were received pursuant to this amendment for the 
purpose of obtaining judicial orders of attachment against blocked 
Government of Panama assets. Since the last report, however, specific 
licenses were issued at the request of the Government of Panama to 
unblock about $4.4 million to satisfy settlements reached with the vast 
majority of U.S. creditors by the Government of Panama. On September 9, 
1994, the FAC gave notice to the public that the remaining blocked 
Government of Panama assets, approximately $2.1 million, would be 
unblocked effective September 16, 1994. (50 Federal Register 46720, 
September 9, 1994.) A copy of the notice is attached. Half of the $2.1 
million had been held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the 
request of the Government of Panama. The remaining amounts were held in 
blocked commercial bank accounts or in blocked reserved accounts 
established under section 565.509 of the Panamanian Transactions 
Regulations, 34 CFR 565.509. The remaining known claimants were informed 
that, prior to the unblocking, the Government of Panama and Air Panama 
had directed the transfer of $400,000 into a trust account administered 
by counsel to the Republic of Panama and Air Panama, as escrow agent, to 
be utilized toward resolution of the few remaining U.S. claims. This sum 
exceeds the face amount of the total of the known remaining claims.
  5. With the unblocking on September 16, 1994, of Government of Panama 
funds that had been subject to the continued blocking, the sanctions 
program initiated to deal with the threat once posed by the Noriega 
regime in Panama is completed. However, enforcement action for past 
violations may still be pursued within the applicable statute of 
limitations.
  6. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government during the period 
of the national emergency with respect to Panama from April 8, 1988, 
through April 5, 1990, that are directly attributable to the exercise of 
powers and authorities conferred by the declaration of a national 
emergency with respect to Panama are estimated to total about $2.225 
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 Under Secretary for Enforcement, 
and the Office of the General Counsel), and the Department of State 
(particularly the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs and the Office 
of the Legal Adviser).
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House. October 3, 1994.

  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. 103-321).

  H.R. 3718. A bill for the relief of Mark A. Potts.

Para. 119.8  california desert protection

  Mr. MILLER of California, pursuant to clause 1 of rule XX, and by 
direction of the Committee on Natural Resources moved to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill of the Senate (S. 21) to designate certain 
lands in the California Desert as wilderness, to establish Death Valley, 
Joshua Tree, and Mojave National Parks, and for other purposes; together 
with the amendments of the House thereto, insist upon its amendments and 
agree to the conference asked by the Senate on the disagreeing votes of 
the two Houses thereon.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

Para. 119.9  point of order

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

  ``Mr. Speaker, I serve on both the Committee on Natural Resources and 
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, to which S. 21 was also 
referred. Unfortunately, the referral to Merchant Marine and Fisheries 
was very short and that committee did not file a report on the bill. The 
net result is that my Merchant Marine and Fisheries colleagues did not 
have an opportunity to debate this bill in committee. Now it appears 
that the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries will not have a role 
in making the recommendation to the House with regard to insisting or 
receding from the Senate amendments to S. 21.
  ``Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that, under rule XX and the 
precedents of the House, a privileged motion to go to conference must be 
authorized by both committees to which a bill has been jointly referred. 
I have been told that this precedent was decided prior to the time when 
sequential referrals were used in the House. I believe that the 
interests of the House would be best served if this interpretation were 
extended to sequential as well as joint referrals to ensure that all 
committees of jurisdiction on a bill will be treated as equal partners 
in the process.''.

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

  ``Mr. Speaker. The Committee on Natural Resources is the primary 
committee of jurisdiction here. There was a referral to the Committee on 
Merchant Marine and Fisheries. They could have exercised whatever 
actions they decided to. They did not decide to do that. By reason of 
the fact that we remain the primary committee, we have been instructed 
by our committee to go to conference on this matter.''.

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

  ``The gentleman from California makes the point of order that, to be 
privileged under clause 1 of rule XX, the motion must be authorized not 
only by the Committee on Natural Resources but also by the Committee on 
Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
  ``Under clause 1 of rule XX, a motion to send a bill to conference is 
always in order if the Speaker, in his discretion, recognizes for that 
purpose and if the motion is made at the direction of all reporting 
committees having original jurisdiction over the bill. The Chair is 
guided by the precedent of September 26, 1978, standing for the 
proposition that the motion must be authorized by each committee of 
joint referral that has reported the measure to the House.
  ``In the instant case, the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries 
was a committee of sequential referral of the House bill and did not 
report thereon to the House. The instant motion is, therefore, offered 
at the direction of the only committee of original referral of the House 
bill, and the only committee that reported thereon to the House--the 
Committee on Natural Resources. Accordingly, the motion is privileged 
under clause 1 of rule XX.''.

  Mr. DOOLITTLE, pursuant to clause 3 of rule XVI, demanded the question 
of consideration on said motion.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House now consider the motion to insist upon its amendments 
and agree to the conference asked by the Senate?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUGHES, announced the yeas had it.
  Mr. DOOLITTLE 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.

     issuer (in the case of a small business investment company) 
     and with the approval of the Administration, prepay such 
     debenture in accordance with the provisions of this section.

     under the same terms and conditions, prepay such debenture,

     (1)--
       ``(i) the borrower (in the case of a loan under section 
     503) or the issuer (in the case of a small business 
     investment company) shall pay to the Federal Financing Bank 
     an amount that is equal to the sum of the unpaid principal 
     balance due on the debenture as of the date of the prepayment 
     (plus accrued interest at the coupon rate on the debenture) 
     and the amount of the repurchase premium described in 
     subparagraph (B); and
       ``(ii) the Administration shall pay to the Federal 
     Financing Bank the difference between the repurchase premium 
     paid by the borrower under this subsection and the repurchase 
     premium that the Federal Financing Bank would otherwise have 
     received.

       ``(II) the applicable percentage rate, as determined in 
     accordance clauses (ii) and (iii).

       ``(ii) Applicable percentage rate.--For purposes of clause 
     (i)(II), the applicable percentage rate means--

       ``(iii) Adjustments to applicable percentage rate.--The 
     percentage rates described in clause (ii) shall be increased 
     or decreased by the Administration by a factor not to exceed 
     one-third, if the same factor is applied in each case and if 
     the Administration determines that an adjustment is 
     necessary, based on the number of borrowers having given 
     notice of their intent to participate, in order to make the 
     program (including the amounts appropriated for this purpose 
     under Public Law 103-317) result in no substantial net gain 
     or loss of revenue to the Federal Financing Bank or to the 
     Administration. Amounts collected in excess of the amount 
     necessary to ensure revenue neutrality shall be refunded to 
     the borrowers.

       ``(c) No Prepayment Fees or Penalties.--No fees or 
     penalties other than those specified in this section may be 
     imposed on the issuer, the borrower, the Administration, or

     sections 504 and 505, in accordance with subsection (b)(2)--

     loan.

     III may issue new debentures in accordance with such title in

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Mohegan Nation of 
     Connecticut Land Claims Settlement Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut received 
     recognition by the United States pursuant to the 
     administrative process under part 83 of title 25 of the Code 
     of Federal Regulations.
       (2) The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut is the 
     successor in interest to the aboriginal entity known as the 
     Mohegan Indian Tribe.
       (3) The Mohegan Tribe has existed in the geographic area 
     that is currently the State of Connecticut for a long period 
     preceding the colonial period of the history of the United 
     States.
       (4) Certain lands were sequestered as tribal lands by the 
     Colony of Connecticut and subsequently by the State of 
     Connecticut.
       (5) The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut v. State of 
     Connecticut, et al. (Civil Action No. H-77-434, pending 
     before the United States District Court for the Southern 
     District of Connecticut) relates to the ownership of certain 
     lands within the State of Connecticut.
       (6) Such action will likely result in economic hardships 
     for residents of the State of Connecticut, including 
     residents of the town of Montville, Connecticut, by 
     encumbering the title to lands in the State, including lands 
     that are not currently the subject of the action.
       (7) The State of Connecticut and the Mohegan Tribe have 
     executed agreements for the purposes of resolving all 
     disputes between the State of Connecticut and the Mohegan 
     Tribe and providing a settlement for the action referred to 
     in paragraph (5).
       (8) In order to implement the agreements referred to in 
     paragraphs (5) and (6) of section 3 that address matters of 
     jurisdiction with respect to certain offenses committed by 
     and against members of the Mohegan Tribe and other Indians in 
     Indian country and matters of gaming-related development, it 
     is necessary for the Congress to enact legislation.
       (9) The town of Montville, Connecticut, will--
       (A) be affected by the loss of a tax base from, and 
     jurisdiction over, lands that will be held in trust by the 
     United States on behalf of the Mohegan Tribe; and
       (B) serve as the host community for the gaming operations 
     of the Mohegan Tribe.
       (10) The town of Montville and the Mohegan Tribe have 
     entered into an agreement to resolve issues extant between 
     them and to establish the basis for a cooperative government-
     to-government relationship.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:

[[Page 2326]]

       (1) To facilitate the settlement of claims against the 
     State of Connecticut by the Mohegan Tribe.
       (2) To facilitate the removal of any encumbrance to any

       Whereas the conflict in Tajikistan between the government 
     and opposition forces has caused the death of tens of 
     thousands of persons and has displaced 500,000 persons, one-
     tenth of the country's 5,400,000 people;
       Whereas the conflict has been characterized on all sides by 
     gross human rights violations, abuses, and brutalities, 
     including the murders of children, pregnant women, and 
     babies, widespread use of torture, and summary executions;
       Whereas the current violence has the potential to cause 
     conflict along ethnic lines between Tajiks and Uzbeks 
     throughout the region;
       Whereas the United Nations Security Council has called upon 
     all parties to reach a political solution and seek national 
     reconciliation;
       Whereas the Conference on Security and Cooperation in 
     Europe has established a mission in Tajikistan to seek ways 
     to revolve the conflict;
       Whereas through the efforts of the Special Envoy of the 
     Secretary General of the United Nations to Tajikistan, 
     negotiations are now being conducted;
       Whereas elections have been scheduled by the Government of 
     Tajikistan for November 6, 1994;
       Whereas the success of a truly representative government 
     will assist with the development of a peaceful and stable 
     Central Asia and beyond;
       Whereas the United States has successfully responded to 
     urgent needs for food and other humanitarian assistance in 
     the past;
       Whereas food access rather than availability will be a 
     critical problem facing Tajikistan for the foreseeable 
     future;
       Whereas there remain significant shortages of necessary 
     building materials, wheat, cooking oil, soap, and shoes;
       Whereas lack of fuel nationwide will delay food shipments 
     to Gorno Badakshan, creating severe food shortages in that 
     region, and has the potential to cripple the economy;
       Whereas economic assistance can sometimes be given through 
     nongovernmental organizations, in the form of 
     microdevelopment projects, thus supporting the economy from 
     the bottom up;
       Whereas continued support for the present of the United 
     Nations and other international organizations and for 
     microdevelopment projects could encourage the peaceful return 
     and reintegration of refugees and displaced Tajiks; and
       Whereas any unconditional economic assistance for the 
     central government in Dushanbe, by any party, amounts to a 
     failure to take advantage of political leverage to support 
     national reconciliation and human rights: Now, therefore, be 
     it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring),
       (a) That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) while the Congress welcomes steps taken by the 
     Government of Tajikistan toward the holding of open 
     elections, it expresses its concerns that nomination, 
     registration, and voting procedures are inadequate to ensure 
     that such elections will be free and fair; and
       (2) any peacekeeping activities in Tajikistan should be 
     conducted in full conformity with United Nations and 
     international peacekeeping norms and practices.
       (b) That it is the further sense of the Congress that the 
     President--
       (1) should support existing efforts at national 
     reconciliation in Tajikistan, including--
       (A) those of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in 
     Europe, and
       (B) the current diplomatic initiatives, through the office 
     of the Special Envoy of the Secretary General of the United 
     Nations to Tajikistan;
       (2) should seek, through his good offices, to obtain full 
     respect by the Government of Tajikistan for basic freedoms 
     and internationally recognized human rights, including full 
     implementation of Conference on Security and Cooperation in 
     Europe commitments;
       (3) should maintain support for humanitarian assistance to 
     the people of Tajikistan, including assistance for refugees, 
     internally displaced persons, and returnees, with an eye for 
     encouraging self-sufficiency in as many sectors as possible;
       (4) should urge the international community to make similar 
     commitments;
       (5) should seek to ensure that a substantial portion of 
     assistance provided to Tajikistan is channeled through 
     nongovernmental organizations; and
       (6) should seek to ensure that economic assistance is 
     provided directly to the Government of Tajikistan only if it 
     is making significant progress in--
       (A) protecting and facilitating the activities of human 
     rights groups, including their monitoring of human rights 
     abuses by or upon any party and the training of local human 
     rights organizations;
       (B) promoting democratic development, including free and 
     fair elections;
       (C) participating in and otherwise facilitating conflict 
     resolution efforts;
       (D) terminating interference in the non-violent activities 
     of the political opposition;
       (E) allowing the International Committee of the Red Cross 
     to visit prisoners in accordance with its mandate, which 
     includes private interviews with prisoners;
       (F) participating in and otherwise facilitating the 
     compilation of a list of all those who have been 
     extrajudicially executed or have disappeared; and
       (G) facilitating the protection and reintegration of 
     returnees.

Jersey 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?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. POSHARD, announced that two-thirds of the 
Members present had voted in the affirmative.
  Mr. WALKER objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. POSHARD, pursuant to clause 5, rule I,

Chair.
  The point of no quorum was considered as withdrawn.

Para. 119.79  northern ireland's peace process

  Mr. ANDREWS of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following resolution (H. Res. 561): 

       Whereas Northern Ireland has for many years been riven by 
     violence;
       Whereas this cycle of violence and death has embittered and 
     further separated the people of both great traditions on the 
     island of Ireland, so that reconciliation between them has 
     been made more difficult;
       Whereas the Irish and British Governments have made joint 
     efforts pursuant to the Anglo Irish Agreement of 1985 and 3-
     stranded talks between and among the constitutional parties 
     of the north and the 2 governments to find political 
     solutions to this situation that would win the support of the 
     majority of the people of Ireland, North and South;
       Whereas the 2 governments have made further efforts in the 
     Downing Street Declaration of 1993 to establish principles 
     under which such a political settlement could be negotiated 
     among all the parties in Northern Ireland that renounce the 
     use of violence;
       Whereas, after a period of internal debate and 
     consideration, the Irish Republican Army announced on August 
     31, 1994, a complete cessation of military operations and 
     declared its willingness to participate in political talks 
     with other parties in Northern Ireland and the 2 governments;
       Whereas the Irish Republican Army has kept its pledge to 
     end military operations since that time;
       Whereas other loyalist and nationalist paramilitary 
     organizations have not declared their intention to end the 
     use of mili- 

[[Page 2329]]

     tary operations and have in fact continued attacks;
       Whereas the policy of the United States has consistently 
     supported the end of military operations and provided strong 
     diplomatic and material support for peace and reconciliation 
     throughout the island of Ireland, and particularly through 
     annual appropriations to the International Fund for Ireland;
       Whereas the Congress of the United States has played a role 
     of support for this Fund and for the efforts of the 2 
     governments and of courageous leaders of nonviolence from 
     both traditions in Northern Ireland such as John Hume, whose 
     inspiration and dogged determination helped convince the 
     Irish Republican Army to lay down its arms;
       Whereas the announcement of the Irish Republican Army 
     ceasefire and the determination of the 2 governments to offer 
     a framework for comprehensive political dialogue between all 
     the political parties in Northern Ireland now offer an 
     historic climate for genuine peace and reconciliation in all 
     of Ireland; and
       Whereas the International Fund for Ireland and the Overseas 
     Private Investment Corporation at this critical moment can 
     play a key role in building a public-private partnership in 
     support of the peace process in Northern Ireland, such as 
     through an Overseas Private Investment Corporation equity 
     fund for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
       (1) commends the British and Irish Governments for the 
     steps they have taken and are taking to encourage and 
     facilitate all-party talks leading to a lasting political 
     settlement acceptable to, and ratified by, the people of 
     Ireland, north and south;
       (2) urges the 2 governments to include all parties that 
     renounce violence into such talks as soon as possible;
       (3) hails the complete and permanent cessation of Irish 
     Republican Army military operations as an essential step to 
     such a settlement;
       (4) calls upon all other paramilitary organizations in 
     Northern Ireland similarly to cease the employment of 
     violence;
       (5) expresses strong support for United States economic 
     development programs such as the International Fund for 
     Ireland and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation that 
     can contribute to a climate of economic development in which 
     peace, reconciliation, and justice become achievable goals 
     for all in Northern Ireland; and
       (6) urges the President to take appropriate steps to 
     support the peace process in Northern Ireland through such 
     programs.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. POSHARD, recognized Mr. ANDREWS of New 
Jersey 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 resolution?

present and not voting.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. POSHARD, pursuant to clause 5, rule I,

  The point of no quorum was considered as withdrawn.

Para. 119.80  support for south africa

  Mr. ANDREW of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following resolution (H. Res. 560):

       Whereas the first ever nonracial democratic elections were 
     held in South Africa in April 1994, resulting in a broad-
     based Government of National Unity led by President Nelson 
     Mandela, thereby ending 350 years of racial segregation known 
     as apartheid;
       Whereas Nelson Mandela will be received by President 
     Clinton on the occasion of his historic state visit to the 
     United States as the first head of state representing the 
     newly democratic Republic of South Africa;
       Whereas South Africa, rich in natural and human resources, 
     is already one of the most important countries on the African 
     continent and, with the end of apartheid, has the potential 
     to become a major world leader;
       Whereas South Africa has a critical role to play within the 
     Southern Africa region as well as throughout the continent as 
     a stable model of democracy and economic development;
       Whereas if South Africa were to fail in its efforts to 
     create a stable nonracial democracy, the ripple effect on the 
     rest of the continent would be costly in terms of lives and 
     emergency assistance;
       Whereas the early stages of the transition in South Africa 
     have proven to be an exceptional example of political 
     reconciliation and compromise critical to nation-building;
       Whereas Nelson Mandela's exemplary leadership has further 
     enhanced South Africa's opportunities in the area of 
     reconstruction and development;
       Whereas President Nelson Mandela has asked the 
     international community for substantial support as South 
     Africa struggles to meet the needs of its 41,000,000 people;
       Whereas the United States has stated that one of its major 
     foreign policy objectives is to support the enlargement of 
     democracy throughout the world;
       Whereas the transition to a nonracial democratic society in 
     South Africa is very much in the interest of the United 
     States;
       Whereas opposition to apartheid in South Africa has been a 
     longstanding theme of the foreign policies of both Republican 
     and Democratic Administrations;
       Whereas the Congress of the United States, in both the 
     Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 and the South Africa 
     Democratic Transition Support Act of 1993, has taken 
     particular interest in the transition to a democratic 
     nonracial society in South Africa;
       Whereas United States support contributed significantly to 
     the holding of free and fair elections in South Africa;
       Whereas the United States has pledged its continuing 
     commitment to long-term development for South Africa in the 
     post-apartheid era; and
       Whereas President Clinton announced a post-election 
     initiative for South Africa that will provide support for the 
     new Government of South Africa and assistance to communities 
     there at the grassroots level: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of 
     Representatives that--
       (1) President Nelson Mandela, the first head of state of a 
     nonracial democratic South Africa, deserves the 
     congratulations and support of the United States;
       (2) the United States shall remain engaged in the political 
     and economic development of South Africa;
       (3) assistance to South Africa should continue to focus on 
     such issues as job creation, housing, enterprise development, 
     education, democracy, and health; and
       (4) steps should be taken to increase trade, investment, 
     and development in South Africa.

Para. 119.81  u.s. policy on vietnam

  Mr. ANDREWS of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 278):

       Whereas the President has lifted the 30-year-old trade 
     embargo against Vietnam in the belief that doing so is the 
     ``best way'' to ensure progress in resolving the fate of 
     Americans missing since the conflict in Vietnam;
       Whereas the period of the Vietnam conflict and its 
     aftermath was one of the most distressing and painful periods 
     in our Nation's history;
       Whereas questions remain about the fate of several hundred 
     Americans missing in action;
       Whereas, on July 2, 1993, President Clinton stated that 
     further steps in United States-Vietnam relations would be 
     based on ``tangible progress'' towards the fullest possible 
     accounting of those missing in action;
       Whereas such ``tangible progress'' depends on further 
     efforts by the Government of Vietnam in the 4 key areas 
     outlined by the President, including the recovery and 
     repatriation of American remains, continued resolution of 
     discrepancy cases, further assistance in implementing 
     trilateral investigations with Laos, and accelerated efforts 
     to provide all POW/MIA-related documents;
       Whereas the Congress deeply empathizes with the families 
     and friends of the missing American servicemen;
       Whereas we owe nothing less than the ``fullest possible 
     accounting'' to these men and their families;
       Whereas Vietnam's criminal law is used to punish nonviolent 
     advocates of political pluralism, through charges such as 
     ``attempting to overthrow the people's government'' or 
     ``antisocialist propaganda'';
       Whereas the end of the Cold War provides an unprecedented 
     opportunity for democratic reform and improvements in human 
     rights throughout the world;
       Whereas recent economic reforms and initiatives undertaken 
     by the Government of Vietnam can best be encouraged and built 
     upon through political liberalization;
       Whereas the interests of the United States and the people 
     of Vietnam, and the international community would best be 
     served by having a friendly and democratic government in 
     Vietnam; and
       Whereas greater respect for internationally recognized 
     human rights and a peaceful

[[Page 2330]]

     transition to democracy in Vietnam would greatly reduce the 
     threat of instability in Southeast Asia and enable the 
     creation of a free-market economy in Vietnam: Now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) progress towards the ``fullest possible accounting'' 
     for the Americans missing and unaccounted for remains central 
     to our Nation's foreign policy toward Vietnam;
       (2) the ``fullest possible accounting'' of our missing must 
     remain the index by which further progress in relations must 
     be judged;
       (3) the primary functions of the United States Government 
     liaison office in Vietnam should be--
       (A) to facilitate efforts to achieve the ``fullest possible 
     accounting'', and
       (B) to establish a section within that office to assist 
     families and friends of those missing American servicemen in 
     their efforts to ascertain the status of their loved ones;
       (4) the United States should support the process of 
     nonviolent democratic reform in Vietnam including the goal of 
     free and fair elections; and
       (5) the United States should increase its support for Voice 
     of America programming in Vietnam.

Para. 119.82  human rights in vietnam

  Mr. ANDREWS of New Jersey moved to suspend the rules and agree to the 
following concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 216); as amended:

       Whereas President Clinton on October 19, 1992, promised to 
     the American/Vietnam community ``it is my firm belief that 
     the issue of human rights should be a part of the discussion 
     when addressing the issue of normalization with Vietnam'';
       Whereas the ``road map'' established between the United 
     States Government and the Government of Vietnam did not 
     mention provisions for human rights or democracy as a 
     precondition for lifting the embargo and normalizing 
     relations with Vietnam;
       Whereas Vietnam remains one of the last communist countries 
     in the world and maintains one of the most repressive 
     political and social systems and the Vietnamese people are 
     deprived of their basic human rights;
       Whereas Vietnam has released from labor camps large numbers 
     of persons suspected of disloyalty or having ties to the 
     South Vietnamese government, and yet has rearrested and 
     incarcerated some of these former prisoners and many other 
     individuals for nonviolent political and religious advocacy;
       Whereas one of the most repressed people in Vietnam are the 
     ethnic minorities known as the Montagnards whose traditions, 
     culture, and religious beliefs continue to be eradicated 
     through policies such as the destruction of tribal villages 
     comprised of ethnic Vietnamese migrants for the purposes of 
     forced assimilation;
       Whereas free expression is denied in Vietnam (for example, 
     independent radio and television stations, newspapers, 
     performing artists, book publishers, writers, artists, and 
     journalists are forced to conform to government approval or 
     censorship);
       Whereas the poet Nguyen Chi Thien, a recognized Amnesty 
     International Prisoner of Conscience in northern Vietnam for 
     the past 27 years, is still denied the right of expression 
     and remains under close government surveillance;
       Whereas most South Vietnamese writers and poets have been 
     denied the right to publish or compose since 1975;
       Whereas the 1992 Vietnamese Constitution still designates 
     the Communist Party as the ``force leading the state and 
     society'';
       Whereas Vietnam's criminal law is used to punish nonviolent 
     advocates of political pluralism, through charges such as 
     ``attempting to overthrow the people's government'' or 
     ``antisocialist propaganda'';
       Whereas participants in independent democratic parties and 
     movements have been subjected to harsh repression (for 
     example, Dr. Nguyen Dan Que, the leader of the Non-Violent 
     Movement for Human Rights in Vietnam; Professor Doan Viet 
     Hoat of the Freedom Forum; and Nguyen Dinh Huy of the 
     Movement to Unite the People and Build Democracy);
       Whereas even nonviolent political movements for democracy 
     consisting of former National Liberation Front members such 
     as the League of Former Revolutionaries have been repressed 
     and its leaders, Nguyen Ho and Ta Ba Tong, remain under house 
     arrest;
       Whereas prominent leaders from the Buddhist, Catholic, Cao 
     Dai, Hoa Hao, and Protestant faiths are in prison or under 
     house arrest for expressing their religious beliefs;
       Whereas 4 monks of the Unified Buddhist Church were tried 
     and convicted on charges of instigating public disorder on 
     November 15, 1993, in relation to a massive demonstration in 
     Hue protesting police detention and harassment of major 
     church leaders;
       Whereas Venerable Thich Huyen Quang, head of the United 
     Buddhist Church, is under house arrest and under strict 
     surveillance by security police; and
       Whereas Catholic and Protestant clerics and lay people are 
     imprisoned for conducting unauthorized religious activities, 
     including religious education classes and social programs: 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
     concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the Department of State, in its formal human rights 
     dialogue with Vietnam (which was announced by the United 
     States and Vietnam on January 10, 1994), should place a high 
     priority on seeking--
       (A) the release of all nonviolent political prisoners, and
       (B) reforms in Vietnam's legal procedures and practices to 
     bring them into conformity with international human rights 
     standards;
       (2) the Secretary of State should submit a progress report 
     on this dialogue to the Congress within 6 months of the date 
     on which this resolution is adopted by the Congress;
       (3) the United States should actively support resolutions 
     at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights expressing 
     concern about the imprisonment of nonviolent political and 
     religious dissidents in Vietnam;
       (4) the United States should urge the Government of Vietnam 
     to invite international humanitarian organizations to provide 
     their confidential humanitarian services to prisoners in 
     Vietnam, as a step towards improving their treatment and the 
     poor condition of imprisonment;
       (5) the United States should consult with its allies, 
     including Japan, Australia, Canada, and the European 
     Community, to coordinate international public and private 
     appeals for improvement in human rights in Vietnam, drawing 
     attention to the statement issued by the World Bank-convened 
     donors' conference in Paris on November 10, 1993, that notes 
     that economic and social development in Vietnam require 
     ``more attention to democratization and the promotion of 
     human rights'' by the Government of Vietnam; and
       (6) in U.S. bilateral relations with the Socialist Republic 
     of Vietnam, the President should place a high priority on the 
     following concerns, and should assess the progress that has 
     occurred on them before taking steps to complete the full 
     normalization of relations with Vietnam:
       (a) whether article 4 of the Vietnamese constitution and 
     any other articles concerning ``democratic centralism'' and 
     ``the leading role of the Communist party'' (guaranteeing the 
     permanent rule of the Communist Party of Vietnam) are 
     repealed;
       (b) whether article 69 of the Vietnamese constitution which 
     strictly controls all religious activity including each 
     individual's right to worship, teach and publish religious 
     materials is repealed, and all Vietnamese regulations, codes, 
     and constitutional provisions prohibiting free expression, or 
     denying the freedoms of association or religious worship, are 
     eliminated; and
       (c) whether the Vietnamese Government and the Communist 
     Party of Vietnam make formal commitments to permit free and 
     fair elections, so that the citizens of the country may 
     determine the future leadership and orientation of their 
     government.

Para. 120.46  disinsection of planes

  On motion of Mr. OBERSTAR, by unanimous consent, the following 
concurrent resolution of the Senate was taken from the Speaker's table 
(S. Con. Res. 77):

       Whereas the United States has a responsibility to protect 
     the health and safety of United States air travelers in the 
     United States and abroad;
       Whereas the United States ended the practice of aircraft 
     cabin disinsection 15 years ago, after determining that the 
     process was ineffective and posed a possible death risk to 
     aircraft passengers.
       Whereas 27 countries require disinsection of aircraft 
     cabins by the spraying of an insecticide while passengers are 
     on board the aircraft or by a residual pesticide treatment 
     which is not registered for use in the United States.
       Whereas the United States 10,000,000 people fly every year 
     from the United States to countries that require disinsection 
     of aircraft;
       Whereas the United States pilots and flight attendants on 
     flights to such countries are repeatedly exposed to the 
     chemicals used in disinsection of aircraft;
       Whereas approximately 53,000,000 Americans, more than 20 
     percent of the population, suffer chronic respiratory 
     problems that put them at special risk to aircraft cabin 
     disinsection procedures;
       Whereas no tests have been conducted to determine whether 
     insecticides used for aircraft cabin disinsection are safe 
     for use in unventilated aircraft cabins or for people with 
     chemical sensitivies or breathing conditions;
       Whereas there has been a decrease in the number of 
     insecticides registered for aircraft cabin disinsection by 
     the Environmental Protection Agency by reason of the health 
     concerns raised with respect to such insecticides, and there 
     is no indication that insecticides produced in foreign 
     countries which might serve to replace such insecticides 
     present any less threat to health;
       Whereas Annex 9 to the Convention on International Civil 
     Aviation, done at Chicago, December 7, 1944, states that 
     ``Contracting States shall ensure that their procedures for 
     disinsecting or any other remedial measure are not injurious 
     to the health of passengers and crew and cause the minimum of 
     discomfort to them'';
       Whereas the Facilitation Division of the International 
     Civil Aviation Organization is scheduled to meet in the 
     Spring of 1995 to discuss changes to the standards set forth 
     in Annex 9 to the Convention; and
       Whereas the United States will be a participant at that 
     meeting: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the United 
     States delegation to the Spring 1995 meeting of the 
     Facilitation Division of the International Civil Aviation 
     Organization--
       (1) seek to amend the Convention on International Civil 
     Aviation, done at Chicago, December 7, 1944, to end aircraft 
     disinsection practices that threaten the health of aircraft 
     passengers and crew; and
       (2) make every effort to gain the support and cosponsorship 
     of other member nations of the organization of that 
     amendment.

  When said concurrent resolution was considered and agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said concurrent resolution was 
agreed to was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 120.47  sheep product promotion

  On motion of Mr. de la GARZA, by unanimous consent, the bill of the 
Senate (S. 2500) to enable producers and feeders of sheep and importers 
of sheep and sheep products to develop, finance, and carry out a 
nationally coordinated program for sheep and sheep product promotion, 
research, and information, and for other purposes; was taken from the 
Speaker's table.
  When said bill was considered, read twice, ordered to be read a third 
time, was read a third time by title, and passed.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said bill was passed was, by 
unanimous consent, laid on the table.
  Ordered, That the Clerk notify the Senate thereof.

Para. 120.48  atlantic bluefin tuna conservation

  On motion of Mr. STUDDS, by unanimous consent, the Committee on 
Merchant Marine and Fisheries was discharged from further consideration 
of the following concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 295):

       Whereas Atlantic bluefin tuna are a valuable commercial and 
     recreational fishery of the United States;
       Whereas many other countries also harvest Atlantic bluefin 
     tuna in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea;
       Whereas the International Commission for the Conservation 
     of Atlantic Tunas (hereinafter referred to as the 
     Commission), was established in 1969 to develop conservation 
     and management recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna and 
     other highly migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean and the 
     Mediterranean Sea;
       Whereas the Commission adopted conservation and management 
     recommendations in 1974 to ensure the recovery and 
     sustainability of Atlantic bluefin tuna throughout the 
     Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea;
       Whereas in 1981, the Commission adopted a management 
     strategy for Atlantic bluefin tuna predicated on a hypothesis 
     that two stocks of the fish existed; a western stock found in 
     the Atlantic 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 since 1981, the Commission has adopted additional, 
     more restrictive conservation and management recommendations 
     for Atlantic bluefin tuna for countries that harvest bluefin 
     tuna west of the 45 degree line, including a 25 percent quota 
     reduction since 1991 with an additional 40 percent quota 
     reduction scheduled for 1995;
       Whereas the United States and other Commission members that 
     harvest bluefin tuna west of the 45 degree line have 
     implemented all conservation and management recommendations 
     adopted by the Commission for Atlantic bluefin tuna west of 
     the 45 degree line;
       Whereas many other Commission members do not comply with 
     the conservation and management recommendations adopted by 
     the Commission for Atlantic bluefin tuna east of the 45 
     degree line;
       Whereas a recent National Academy of Sciences (NAS) review 
     of the scientific data used by the Commission concluded that 
     the available data is consistent with a one stock management 
     strategy for bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic;
       Whereas the NAS review also found that abundance of 
     Atlantic bluefin tuna in the western Atlantic has remained 
     stable since 1988, in contrast to the roughly 50 percent 
     decline in abundance reported by the Commission;
       Whereas the continued unrestricted harvesting of Atlantic 
     bluefin tuna east of the 45 degree line and in the 
     Mediterranean Sea will undermine the Commission's 
     recommendations being implemented west of the line to rebuild 
     Atlantic bluefin tuna; and
       Whereas, in order to successfully rebuild the Atlantic 
     bluefin tuna stock, conservation and management 
     recommendations must be adopted and implemented throughout 
     the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea: 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 Atlantic bluefin tuna 
     throughout the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea and 
     develop a program to rebuild Atlantic bluefin tuna that 
     requires the participation of all nations that harvest this 
     species;
       (2) the United States should ensure that the scientific 
     findings and recommendations of the National Academy of 
     Sciences Atlantic bluefin tuna review panel are made 
     available to and included in the considerations of the 
     Commission's scientific advisory panel;
       (3) the United States should oppose any further quota 
     reductions for nations harvesting Atlantic bluefin tuna west 
     of the 45 degree line until the impacts of recent 
     conservation measures can be determined, and until all 
     nations harvesting Atlantic bluefin tuna west and east of the 
     45 degree line share equally in conservation and rebuilding 
     efforts for the Atlantic bluefin tuna resources;
       (4) the continued harvesting by fishermen from any country 
     which is a member of the Commission and which does not comply 
     with the conservation and management recommendations of the 
     Commission 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 subject to the embargo provision in section 6 of the 
     Atlantic Tunas Convention Act;
       (5) the United States should encourage other nations with 
     significant markets for Atlantic bluefin tuna to prohibit the 
     importation of that species from harvesting nations which did 
     not comply with the conservation and management 
     recommendations adopted by the Commission; and
       (6) the United States should encourage the Commission to 
     adopt recommendations authorizing the use of discretionary 
     trade actions as enforcement measures when the actions of a 
     nation are undermining the effectiveness of conservation and 
     management recommendations of the Commission.

  When said concurrent resolution was considered.
  Mr. STUDDS submitted the following amendment in the nature of a 
substitute which was agreed to:

       Strike out all after the resolving clause and insert:
       (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 Atlantic bluefin tuna 
     throughout the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea and 
     develop a program to rebuild Atlantic bluefin tuna that 
     requires the participation of all nations that harvest this 
     species;
       (2) the United States should ensure that the scientific 
     findings and recommendations of the National Academy of 
     Sciences Atlantic bluefin tuna review panel are made 
     available to and included in the considerations of the 
     Commission's scientific advisory panel;
       (3) the United States should oppose any further quota 
     reductions for nations harvesting Atlantic bluefin tuna west 
     of the 45 degree line and insist that all nations harvesting 
     Atlantic bluefin tuna west and east of the 45 degree line 
     implement comparable conservation and rebuilding programs for 
     the Atlantic bluefin tuna resource;
       (4) the continued harvesting by fishermen from any country 
     which is a member of the Commission and which does not comply 
     with the conservation and management recommendations of the 
     Commission 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 subject to the embargo provision in Section 6 of the 
     Atlantic Tunas Convention Act;
       (5) the United States should encourage other nations with 
     significant markets for Atlantic bluefin tuna to prohibit the 
     importation of that species from harvesting nations which do 
     not comply with the conservation and management 
     recommendations adopted by the Commission; and
  (6) the United States should encourage the Commission to adopt 
recommendations authorizing the use of discretionary trade actions as 
enforcement measures when the actions of a nation are undermining the 
effectiveness of conservation and management recommendations of the 
Commission.

  The concurrent resolution, as amended, was agreed to.
  Mr. STUDDS submitted the following amendment to the preamble, which 
was agreed to:

       Amend the preamble to read as follows:
       Whereas Atlantic bluefin tuna are a valuable commercial and 
     recreational fishery of the United States;
       Whereas many other countries also harvest Atlantic bluefin 
     tuna in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea;
       Whereas the International Commission for the Conservation 
     of Atlantic Tunas (hereinafter referred to as the

     and management recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna and

       Whereas since 1981, the Commission has adopted additional, 
     more restrictive conservation and management recommendations 
     for Atlantic bluefin tuna for countries that harvest bluefin 
     tuna west of the 45 degree line, including a 25% quota 
     reduction since 1991 with an additional 40% quota reduction 
     scheduled for 1995;
       Whereas the United States and other Commission members that 
     harvest bluefin tuna west of the 45 degree line have 
     implemented all conservation and management recommendations 
     adopted by the Commission for Atlantic bluefin tuna west of 
     the 45 degree line;
       Whereas many other Commission members do not comply with 
     the conservation and management recommendations adopted by 
     the Commission for Atlantic bluefin tuna east of the 45 
     degree line;
       Whereas a recent National Academy of Sciences (NAS) review 
     of the scientific data used by the Commission concluded that 
     the available data is consistent with a one stock management 
     strategy for bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic;
       Whereas the NAS review also found that abundance of 
     Atlantic bluefin tuna in the western Atlantic has remained 
     stable since 1988, in contrast to the roughly 50% decline in 
     abundance reported by the Commission;
       Whereas the continued unrestricted harvesting of Atlantic 
     bluefin tuna east of the 45 degree line and in the 
     Mediterranean Sea

[[Page 2346]]

     will undermine the Commission's recommendations being 
     implemented west of the line to rebuild Atlantic bluefin 
     tuna;
       Whereas, in order to successfully rebuild the Atlantic 
     bluefin tuna stock, conservation and management 
     recommendations must be adopted and implemented throughout 
     the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

     provided in advance in appropriations Acts. No appropriations 
     Act may authorize fees to be collected under this section 
     during any fiscal year after fiscal year 1995, unless the 
     amount appropriated by such Act for such costs for such 
     fiscal year equals or exceeds the aggregate amount that may 
     reasonably be expected to be collected by such fees. Any such 
     fees shall be deposited as an offsetting collection to the 
     Commission's appropriation and may remain available for such 
     purposes for the succeeding fiscal year. The costs covered by 
     such fees shall be limited to the costs of Commission 
     expenses for registration, examinations, and surveys of 
     persons registered or required to register under this title.

     registration of which is effective on the last day of its 
     fiscal year, shall pay the Commission the fee specified in 
     subsection (c). Such payment shall be made not later than 90 
     days after the end of its fiscal year, or at such other time 
     as the Commission, by rule, shall determine, unless its 
     registration has been withdrawn, canceled, or revoked prior 
     to that date. No part of such fee shall be refunded to the 
     investment adviser.
       ``(c) Cost-Based Schedule of Fees.--For any fiscal year for 
     which fees are authorized to be collected by an 
     appropriations Act, the amount of any fees due from 
     investment advisers in accordance with subsection (b) shall

       ``(d) Suspension for Failure To Pay.--The Commission, by 
     order, may suspend the registration of any investment adviser 
     if it finds, after notice, that such investment adviser has 
     failed to pay when due any fee required by this section. The 
     Commission shall reinstate such registration upon payment of 
     the fee (and any penalty due), if such suspension was based 
     solely on the failure to pay the fee.
       ``(e) Definition of Assets Under Management.--As used in 
     this section, the term `assets under management' means the 
     client assets with respect to which an investment adviser

     such patterns of noncompliance.
       ``(b) Provisions Not Limitation.--The provisions of this 
     section shall not be construed to limit the authority of the

       The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-1 et 
     seq.) is amended by inserting after section 223 (as added by 
     section 3 of this Act) the following new section:


             ``designation of self-regulatory organizations

       ``Sec. 224. (a) Designation To Conduct Examinations.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Commission may by rule, consistent

     regulatory organizations registered with the Commission under

     conduct periodic examinations of its members, and affiliates 
     of members, that are registered or required to register under 
     this title, to determine compliance with applicable 
     provisions of this title and the rules and regulations issued 
     under this title. Any such rule shall specify the minimum 
     scope and frequency for such examinations and shall, to the

     designed to avoid unnecessary regulatory duplication or undue 
     regulatory burdens.

     organization designated under paragraph (1) may discipline 
     the members and affiliates of members described in parargraph

     calendar year.
       ``(2) Employers not otherwise required to make estimated 
     payments.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply to any employer for 
     any calendar year if--
       ``(A) no credit for wage withholding is allowed under

     beginning before January 1, 1998, no addition to tax shall be 
     made under section 6654 with respect to any underpayment to

     section.

     this section, the term `domestic service employment taxes' 
     means--

     other than domestic service in a private home of the 
     employer.

     treat domestic service employment taxes as taxes imposed by 
     chapter 1 for purposes of coordinating the assessment and 
     collection of such employment taxes with the assessment and 
     collection of domestic employers' income taxes.
       ``(f) Authority To Enter Into Agreements To Collect State 
     Unemployment Taxes.--
       ``(1) In general.--The Secretary is hereby authorized to 
     enter into an agreement with any State to collect, as the

     on remuneration paid for domestic service in a private home 
     of the employer. Any taxes to be collected by the Secretary 
     pursuant to such an agreement shall be treated as domestic 
     service employment taxes for purposes of this section.
       ``(2) Transfers to state account.--Any amount collected 
     under an agreement referred to in paragraph (1) shall be 
     transferred by the Secretary to the account of the State in 
     the Unemployment Trust Fund.

Para. 121.21  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. GILMAN:

       Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Withdrawal from 
     Haiti Resolution''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) On September 19, 1994, President Clinton introduced 
     United States Armed Forces into Haiti for purposes of 
     effecting a transition of power from the military regime of 
     General Raoul Cedras to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
       (2) Under President Clinton's plan, approximately 20,000 
     United States Armed Forces personnel have been deployed to 
     Haiti and most are to remain there until, in the judgment of 
     the United Nations Security Council, they have established a 
     secure and stable environment and a follow-on United Nations 
     peacekeeping force known as the United Nations Mission in 
     Haiti (UNMIH) is capable of assuming their functions.
       (3) In accordance with United Nations Security Council 
     Resolution 940 (1994), the UNMIH peacekeeping force is to 
     consist of 6,000 personnel and is to remain in Haiti until 
     February 1996.
       (4) President Clinton intends for United States Armed 
     Forces personnel to comprise a substantial portion of the 
     UNMIH peacekeeping force that will remain in Haiti until 
     February 1996.
       (5) President Clinton never requested or obtained the 
     authorization of the United States Congress for his plan to 
     deploy United States Armed Forces to Haiti.
       (6) The incremental cost to the United States of President 
     Clinton's planned military occupation of Haiti is estimated 
     to total not less than $500 million and could be 
     significantly higher. In addition, it is anticipated that the 
     United States will provide hundreds of millions of dollars in 
     economic and humanitarian assistance to Haiti during the 
     military occupation.
       (7) The deployment of United States Armed Forces to Haiti 
     is adversely affecting military readiness by placing an 
     enormous stain on a reduced military force structure and by 
     consuming considerable resources from an underfunded defense 
     budget.

     SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (a) the President should not have ordered United States 
     Armed Forces to occupy Haiti;
       (b) the President should immediately commence the safe and 
     orderly withdrawal of United States Armed Forces from Haiti 
     and should conclude that withdrawal as soon as possible in a 
     manner consistent with the safety of those Forces;
       (c) the President should pursue all appropriate diplomatic 
     steps to ensure that the UNMIH peacekeeping force is promptly 
     put in place and is fully comprised of military personnel 
     from other countries.

     SEC. 4. PROHIBITION ON FOREIGN COMMAND.

       United States Armed Forces in Haiti shall remain under the 
     command and control (including operational control) of 
     officers of the United States Armed Forces at all times.

     SEC. 5. REPORT ON THE SITUATION IN HAITI.

       Not later than November 1, 1994, and monthly thereafter 
     until the cessation of Operation Uphold Democracy, the 
     President shall submit a report to Congress on the situation 
     in Haiti, including:
       (a) a listing of the units of the United States Armed 
     Forces and of the police and military units of other nations 
     participating in operations in and around Haiti;
       (b) the estimated duration of Operation Uphold Democracy 
     and progress toward the withdrawal of all United States Armed 
     Forces from Haiti consistent with the goal of section 3(b) of 
     this resolution;
       (c) armed incidents or the use of force in or around Haiti 
     involving United States Armed Forces or Coast Guard personnel 
     in the time period covered by the report;
       (d) the estimated cumulative incremental cost of all U.S. 
     activities subsequent to September 30, 1993 in and around 
     Haiti, including but not limited to:
       (1) the cost of all deployments of United States Armed 
     Forces and Coast Guard personnel, training, exercises, 
     mobilization, and preparation activities, including the 
     preparation of police and military units of the other nations 
     of the multinational force involved in enforcement of 
     sanctions, limits on migration, establishment and maintenance 
     of migrant facilities at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere, and 
     all other activities relating to operations in and around 
     Haiti; and
       (2) the costs of all other activities relating to United 
     States policy toward Haiti, including humanitarian 
     assistance, reconstruction, aid and other financial 
     assistance, and all other costs to the United States 
     Government;
       (e) a detailed accounting of the source of funds obligated 
     or expended to meet the costs described in subparagraph (d), 
     including:
       (1) in the case of funds expended from the Department of 
     Defense budget, a breakdown by military service or defense 
     agency, line item and program, and
       (2) in the case of funds expended from the budgets of 
     department and agencies other than the Department of Defense, 
     a breakdown by department or agency and program;
       (f) the Administration plan for financing the costs of the 
     operations and the impact on readiness without supplemental 
     funding;
       (g) a description of the situation in Haiti, including:
       (1) the security situation;
       (2) the progress made in transferring the functions of 
     government to the democratically elected government of Haiti; 
     and
       (3) progress toward holding free and fair parliamentary 
     elections.
       (h) a description of issues relating to the United Nations 
     Mission in Haiti (UNMIH), including
       (1) the preparedness of the United Nations Mission in Haiti 
     (UNMIH) to deploy to Haiti to assume its functions;
       (2) troop commitments by other nations to UNMIH;

[[Page 2358]]

       (3) the anticipated cost to the United States of 
     participation in UNMIH, including payments to the United 
     Nations and financial, material and other assistance to 
     UNMIH;
       (4) proposed or actual participation of United States Armed 
     Forces in UNMIH;
       (5) proposed command arrangements for UNMIH, including any 
     proposed or actual placement of United States Armed Forces 
     under foreign command; and
       (6) the anticipated duration of UNMIH.

     SEC. 6. REPORT ON HUMAN RIGHTS.

       Not later than January 1, 1995, the Secretary of State 
     shall report to Congress on the participation or involvement 
     of any member of the de jure or de facto Haitian government 
     in violations of internationally-recognized human rights from 
     December 15, 1990 to December 15, 1994.

     House of Representatives and the Majority Leader of the 
     Senate, acting jointly after consultation with the Minority

       It is the sense of Congress that--

     Haiti who are performing with professional excellence and 
     dedicated patriotism are to be commended;
       (b) the President should have sought and welcomed 
     Congressional approval before deploying United States Armed 
     Forces to Haiti;
       (c) the departure from power of the de facto authorities in 
     Haiti, and Haitian efforts to achieve national 
     reconciliation, democracy and the rule of law are in the best 
     interests of the Haitian people:
       (d) the President's lifting of the unilateral economic 
     sanctions on Haiti, and his efforts to bring about the 
     lifting of economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations 
     are appropriate; and

     all United States Armed Forces from Haiti as soon as

     engagement under which operations of United States Armed 
     Forces are conducted in and around Haiti, including the role

     engagement shall be submitted to Congress within forty-eight 
     hours of approval.

     Forces into Haiti.
       (4) The Congress fully supports the men and women of the

     following:

     government in that country to the democratically-elected 
     government of Haiti, and to facilitate the provision of 
     humanitarian assistance to the people of Haiti.
       (2) Transfer of operations in Haiti from the United States-

     orderly progress may be made in transferring the functions of 
     government in that country to the democratically-elected 
     government of Haiti; and
       (3) to facilitate the provision of humanitarian assistance 
     to the people of Haiti.
       (b) Limitations.--
       (1) termination of authorization.--The authorization 
     provided by subsection (a) shall expire on March 1, 1995, 
     unless the President determines and certifies to Congress in

Para. 121.34  california desert wilderness

  Mr. MILLER of Califonia, pursuant to House Resolution 568, called up 
the following conference report (Rept. No. 103-832):

       The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the 
     two Houses on the amendments of the House to the bill (S. 21) 
     to designate certain lands in the California Desert as 
     wilderness, to establish Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and 
     Mojave National Parks, and for other purposes, having met, 
     after full and free conference, have agreed to recommend and 
     do recommend to their respective Houses as follows:
       That the Senate recede from its disagreement to the 
     amendment of the House to the

[[Page 2364]]

     text of the bill and agree to the same with an amendment as 
     follows:
       In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the House 
     amendment, insert the following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       Sections 1 and 2, and titles I through IX of this Act may 
     be cited as the ``California Desert Protection Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

       (a) The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) the federally owned desert lands of southern California 
     constitute a public wildland resource of extraordinary and 
     inestimable value for this and future generations;
       (2) these desert wildlands display unique scenic, 
     historical, archeological, environmental, ecological, 
     wildlife, cultural, scientific, educational, and recreational 
     values used and enjoyed by millions of Americans for hiking 
     and camping, scientific study and scenic appreciation;
       (3) the public land resources of the California desert now 
     face and are increasingly threatened by adverse pressures 
     which would impair, dilute, and destroy their public and 
     natural values;
       (4) the California desert, embracing wilderness lands, 
     units of the National Park System, other Federal lands, State 
     parks and other State lands, and private lands, constitutes a 
     cohesive unit posing unique and difficult resource protection 
     and management challenges;
       (5) through designation of national monuments by 
     Presidential proclamation, through enactment of general 
     public land statutes (including section 601 of the Federal 
     Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 90 Stat. 2743, 43 
     U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and through interim administrative 
     actions, the Federal government has begun the process of 
     appropriately providing for protection of the significant 
     resources of the public lands in the California desert; and
       (6) statutory land unit designations are needed to afford 
     the full protection which the resources and public land 
     values of the California desert merit.
       (b) In order to secure for the American people of this and 
     future generations an enduring heritage of wilderness, 
     national parks, and public land values in the California 
     desert, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the 
     Congress that--
       (1) appropriate public lands in the California desert shall 
     be included within the National Park System and the National 
     Wilderness Preservation System, in order to--
       (A) preserve unrivaled scenic, geologic, and wildlife 
     values associated with these unique natural landscapes;
       (B) perpetuate in their natural state significant and 
     diverse ecosystems of the California desert;
       (C) protect and preserve historical and cultural values of 
     the California desert associated with ancient Indian 
     cultures, patterns of western exploration and settlement, and 
     sites exemplifying the mining, ranching and railroading 
     history of the Old West;
       (D) provide opportunities for compatible outdoor public 
     recreation, protect and interpret ecological and geological 
     features and historic, paleontological, and archeological 
     sites, maintain wilderness resource values, and promote 
     public understanding and appreciation of the California 
     desert; and
       (E) retain and enhance opportunities for scientific 
     research in undisturbed ecosystems.

  TITLE I--DESIGNATION OF WILDERNESS AREAS TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE 
                       BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) wilderness is a distinguishing characteristic of the 
     public lands in the California desert, one which affords an 
     unrivaled opportunity for experiencing vast areas of the Old 
     West essentially unaltered by man's activities, and which 
     merits preservation for the benefit of present and future 
     generations:
       (2) the wilderness values of desert lands are increasingly 
     threatened by and especially vulnerable to impairment, 
     alteration, and destruction by activities and intrusions 
     associated with incompatible use and development; and
       (3) preservation of desert wilderness necessarily requires 
     the highest forms of protective designation and management.

     SEC. 102. DESIGNATION OF WILDERNESS.

       In furtherance of the purpose of the Wilderness Act (78 
     Stat. 890, 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), and sections 601 and 603 
     of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (90 
     Stat. 2743, 43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the following lands in

     administered by the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter in 
     this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') or the Secretary 
     of Agriculture, as appropriate, in accordance with the 
     provisions of the Wilderness Act, except that any reference 
     in such provisions to the effective date of the Wilderness 
     Act shall be deemed to be a reference to the effective date 
     of this title and any reference to the Secretary of 
     Agriculture shall be deemed to be a reference to the 
     Secretary who has administrative jurisdiction over the area.
       (b) Map and Legal Descriptions.--As soon as practicable 
     after the date of enactment of section 102, the Secretary 
     concerned shall file a map and legal description for each 
     wilderness area designated under this title with the 
     Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United

     description shall have the same force and effect as if 
     included in this title, except that the Secretary or the 
     Secretary of Agriculture, as appropriate, may correct

     Service, Department of Agriculture, as appropriate.
       (c) Livestock.--Within the wilderness areas designated 
     under section 102, the grazing of livestock, where 
     established prior to the date of enactment of this Act, shall 
     be permitted to continue subject to such reasonable 
     regulations, policies, and practices as the Secretary deems 
     necessary, as long as such regulations, policies, and

       (d) No Buffer Zones.--The Congress does not intend for the 
     designation of wilderness areas in section 102 of this title 
     to lead to the creation of protective perimeters or buffer 
     zones around any such wilderness area. The fact that

     border operations as permitted before the date of enactment 
     of this Act, including the use of motorized vehicles and 
     aircraft, on any lands designated as wilderness by this Act.

     Secretary shall make the acquisition of such base property a 
     priority as compared with the acquisition of other lands 
     within the preserve, provided agreement can be reached 
     concerning the terms and conditions of such acquisition. Any 
     such base property which is located outside the preserve and 
     acquired as a priority pursuant to this section shall be 
     managed by the Federal agency responsible for the majority of 
     the adjacent lands in accordance with the laws applicable to

       (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) military aircraft testing and training activities as 
     well as demilitarization activities in California are an 
     important part of the national defense system of the United 
     States, and are essential in order to secure for the American 
     people of this and future generations an enduring and viable 
     national defense system;
       (2) the National Park System units and wilderness areas 
     designated by this Act lie within a region critical to 
     providing training, research, and development for the Armed 
     Forces of the United States and its allies;
       (3) there is a lack of alternative sites available for 
     these military training, testing, and research activities;
       (4) continued use of the lands and airspace in the 
     California desert region is essential for military purposes; 
     and
       (5) continuation of these military activities, under 
     appropriate terms and conditions, is not incompatible with 
     the protection and proper management of the natural, 
     environmental, cultural, and other resources and values of 
     the Federal lands in the California desert area.

     units of special airspace or the use or establishment of 
     military flight training routes over such new park system or

     under section 802 of this title as a result of military 
     activities and may seek assistance from the Bureau of Land 
     Management in the suppression of such fires. The memorandum 
     of understanding required by subsection (e) shall provide for 
     Bureau of Land Management assistance in the suppression of 
     such fires, and for a transfer of funds from the Department 
     of the Navy to the Bureau of Land Management as compensation 
     for such assistance.
       (e) Memorandum of Understanding.--(1) The Secretary and the 
     Secretary of the Navy shall (with respect to each land 
     withdrawal under section 802 of this title) enter into a 
     memorandum of understanding to implement the management plan 
     developed under subsection (c). Any such memorandum of 
     understanding shall provide that the Director of the Bureau 
     of Land Management shall provide assistance in the 
     suppression of fires resulting from the military use of lands 
     withdrawn under section 802 if requested by the Secretary of 
     the Navy.
       (2) The duration of any such memorandum shall be the same 
     as the period of the withdrawal of the lands under section 
     802.
       (f) Additional Military Uses.--Lands withdrawn under 
     section 802 of this title may be used for defense-related 
     uses other than those specified in such section. The 
     Secretary of Defense shall promptly notify the Secretary in 
     the event that the lands withdrawn by this title will be used 
     for defense-related purposes other than those specified in 
     section 802. Such notification shall indicate the additional 
     use or uses involved, the proposed duration of such uses, and 
     the extent to which such additional military uses of the 
     withdrawn lands will require that additional or more 
     stringent conditions or restrictions be imposed on otherwise-
     permitted nonmilitary uses of the withdrawn land or portions 
     thereof.
       (g) Management of China Lake.--(1) The Secretary may assign 
     the management responsibility for the lands withdrawn under 
     section 802(a) of this title to the Secretary of the Navy who 
     shall manage such lands, and issue leases, easements, rights-
     of-way, and other authorizations, in accordance with this 
     title and cooperative management arrangements between the 
     Secretary and the Secretary of the Navy: Provided, That 
     nothing in this subsection shall affect geothermal leases 
     issued by the Secretary prior to the date of enactment of 
     this title, or the responsibility of the Secretary to 
     administer and manage such leases, consistent with the 
     provisions of this section. In the case that the Secretary 
     assigns such management responsibility to the Secretary of 
     the Navy before the development of the management plan under 
     subsection (c), the Secretary of the Navy (after consultation 
     with the Secretary) shall develop such management plan.
       (2) The Secretary shall be responsible for the issuance of 
     any lease, easement, right-of-way, and other authorization 
     with respect to any activity which involves both the lands 
     withdrawn under section 802(a) of this title and any other 
     lands. Any such authorization shall be issued only with the 
     consent of the Secretary of the Navy and, to the extent that 
     such activity involves lands withdrawn under section 802(a), 
     shall be subject to such conditions as the Secretary of the 
     Navy may prescribe.
       (3) The Secretary of the Navy shall prepare and submit to 
     the Secretary an annual report on the status of the natural 
     and cultural resources and values of the lands withdrawn 
     under section 802(a). The Secretary shall transmit such 
     report to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of 
     the United States Senate and the Committee on Natural 
     Resources of the United States House of Representatives.
       (4) The Secretary of the Navy shall be responsible for the 
     management of wild horses and burros located on the lands 
     withdrawn under section 802(a) of this title and may utilize 
     helicopters and motorized vehicles for such purposes. Such 
     management shall be in accordance with laws applicable to 
     such management on public lands and with an appropriate 
     memorandum of understanding between the Secretary and the 
     Secretary of the Navy.
       (5) Neither this title nor any other provision of law shall 
     be construed to prohibit the Secretary from issuing and 
     administering any lease for the development and utilization 
     of geothermal steam and associated geothermal resources on 
     the lands withdrawn under section 802(a) of this title 
     pursuant to the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (30 U.S.C. 1001 
     et seq.) and other applicable law, but no such lease shall be 
     issued without the concurrence of the Secretary of the Navy.
       (6) This title shall not affect the geothermal exploration 
     and development authority of the Secretary of the Navy under 
     section 2689 of title 10, United States Code, except that the 
     Secretary of the Navy shall obtain the concurrence of the 
     Secretary be- 

[[Page 2374]]

     fore taking action under that section with respect to the 
     lands withdrawn under section 802(a).
       (7) Upon the expiration of the withdrawal or relinquishment 
     of China Lake, Navy contracts for the development of 
     geothermal resources at China Lake then in effect (as amended 
     or renewed by the Navy after the date of enactment of this 
     title) shall remain in effect: Provided, That the Secretary, 
     with the consent of the Secretary of the Navy, may offer to 
     substitute a standard geothermal lease for any such contract.

     SEC. 806. DURATION OF WITHDRAWALS.

     the Navy shall transmit to the Committees on Appropriations, 
     Armed Services, and Energy and Natural Resources of the 
     United States Senate and to the Committees on Appropriations, 
     Armed Services, and Natural Resources of the United States 
     House of Representatives a description of the decontamination 
     efforts undertaken during the previous fiscal year on such 
     lands and the decontamination activities proposed for such 
     lands during the next fiscal year including--
       (1) amounts appropriated and obligated or expended for 
     decontamination of such lands;
       (2) the methods used to decontaminate such lands;
       (3) amount and types of contaminants removed from such 
     lands;
       (4) estimated types and amounts of residual contamination 
     on such lands; and
       (5) an estimate of the costs for full contamination of such 
     lands and the estimate of the time to complete such 
     decontamination.

     SEC. 808. REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWAL.

       (a) Notice and Filing.--(1) No later than three years prior 
     to the termination of the withdrawal and reservation 
     established by this title, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     advise the Secretary as to whether or not the Secretary of 
     the Navy will have a continuing military need for any of the 
     lands withdrawn under section 802 after the termination date 
     of such withdrawal and reservation.
       (2) If the Secretary of the Navy concludes that there will 
     be a continuing military need for any of such lands after the 
     termination date, the Secretary of the Navy shall file an 
     application for extension of the withdrawal and reservation 
     of such needed lands in accordance with the regulations and 
     procedures of the Department of the Interior applicable to 
     the extension of withdrawals of lands for military uses.
       (3) If, during the period of withdrawal and reservation, 
     the Secretary of the Navy decides to relinquish all or any of 
     the lands withdrawn and reserved by this title, the Secretary 
     of the Navy shall file a notice of intention to relinquish 
     with the Secretary.
       (b) Contamination.--(1) Before transmitting a notice of 
     intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a), the 
     Secretary of Defense, acting through the Department of the 
     Navy, shall prepare a written determination concerning 
     whether and to what extent the lands that are to be 
     relinquished are contaminated with explosive, toxic, or other 
     hazardous materials.
       (2) A copy of such determination shall be transmitted with 
     the notice of intention to relinquish.
       (3) Copies of both the notice of intention to relinquish 
     and the determination concerning the contaminated state of 
     the lands shall be published in the Federal Register by the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (c) Decontamination.--If any land which is the subject of a 
     notice of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) 
     is contaminated, and the Secretary, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of the Navy, determines that decontamination is 
     practicable and economically feasible (taking into 
     consideration the potential future use and value of the land) 
     and that upon decontamination, the land could be opened to 
     operation of some or all of the public land laws, including 
     the mining laws, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     decontaminate the land to the extent that funds are 
     appropriated for such purpose.
       (d) Alternatives.--If the Secretary, after consultation 
     with the Secretary of the Navy, concludes that 
     decontamination of any land which is the subject of a notice 
     of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) is not 
     practicable or economically feasible, or that the land cannot 
     be decontaminated sufficiently to be opened to operation of 
     some or all of the public land laws, or if Congress does not 
     appropriate a sufficient amount of funds for the 
     decontamination of such land, the Secretary shall not be 
     required to accept the land proposed for relinquishment.
       (e) Status of Contaminated Lands.--If, because of their 
     contaminated state, the Secretary declines to accept 
     jurisdiction over lands withdrawn by this title which have 
     been proposed for relinquishment, or if at the expiration of 
     the withdrawal made by this title the Secretary determines 
     that some of the lands withdrawn by this title are 
     contaminated to an extent which prevents opening such 
     contaminated lands to operation of the public lands law--
       (1) the Secretary of the Navy shall take appropriate steps 
     to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands 
     and any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
       (2) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary 
     of the Navy shall undertake no activities on such lands 
     except in connection with decontamination of such lands; and
       (3) the Secretary of the Navy shall report to the Secretary 
     and to the Congress concerning the status of such lands and 
     all actions taken in furtherance of this subsection.
       (f) Revocation Authority.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, the Secretary, upon deciding that it is in 
     the public interest to accept jurisdiction over lands 
     proposed for relinquishment pursuant to subsection (a), is 
     authorized to revoke the withdrawal and reservation 
     established by this title as it applies to such lands. Should 
     the decision be made to revoke the withdrawal reservation, 
     the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register an 
     appropriate order which shall--
       (1) terminate the withdrawal and reservation;
       (2) constitute official acceptance of full jurisdiction 
     over the lands by the Secretary; and
       (3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to 
     the operation of some or all of the public lands law, 
     including the mining laws.

                   TITLE X--PROTECTION OF BODIE BOWL

     SEC. 1001. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Bodie Protection Act of 
     1994''.

     SEC. 1002. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the historic Bodie gold mining district in the State of 
     California is the site of the largest and best preserved 
     authentic ghost town in the Western United States;
       (2) the Bodie Bowl area contains important natural, 
     historical, and aesthetic resources;

[[Page 2375]]

       (3) Bodie was designated as a National Historical Landmark 
     in 1961 and a California State Historic Park in 1962, is 
     listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is 
     included in the Federal Historic American Buildings Survey;
       (4) nearly 200,000 persons visit Bodie each year, providing 
     the local economy with important annual tourism revenues;
       (5) the town of Bodie is threatened by proposals to explore 
     and extract minerals: mining in the Bodie Bowl area may have 
     adverse physical and aesthetic impacts on Bodie's historical 
     integrity, cultural values, and ghost town character as well 
     as on its recreational values and the area's flora and fauna;
       (6) the California State Legislature, on September 4, 1990, 
     requested the President and the Congress to direct the 
     Secretary of the Interior to protect the ghost town 
     character, ambience, historic buildings, and scenic 
     attributes of the town of Bodie and nearby areas;
       (7) the California State Legislature also requested the 
     Secretary, if necessary to protect the Bodie bowl area, to 
     withdraw the Federal lands within the area from all forms of 
     mineral entry and patent;
       (8) the National Park Service listed Bodie as a priority 
     one endangered National Historic Landmark in its fiscal year 
     1990 and 1991 report to Congress entitled ``Threatened and 
     Damaged National Historic Landmarks'' and recommended 
     protection of the Bodie area; and
       (9) it is necessary and appropriate to provide that all 
     Federal lands within the Bodie Bowl area are not subject to 
     location, entry, and patent under the mining laws of the 
     United States, subject to valid existing rights, and to 
     direct the Secretary to consult with the Governor of the 
     State of California before approving any mining activity plan 
     within the Bodie Bowl.

     SEC. 1003. DEFINITIONS.

       For the purposes of this title--
       (1) The term ``Bodie Bowl'' means the Federal lands and 
     interests therein within the area generally depicted on the

       (a) Restriction.--Subject to valid existing rights, after 
     the date of enactment of this title Federal lands and 
     interests in lands within the area generally depicted on the 
     map entitled ``Bodie Bowl'' and dated June 12, 1992, shall 
     not be--
       (1) open to the location of mining and mill site claims 
     under the general mining laws of the United States;
       (2) subject to any lease under the Mineral Leasing Act (30 
     U.S.C. 181 and following) or the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 
     (30 U.S.C. 100 and following), for lands within the Bodie 
     Bowl; and
       (3) available for disposal of mineral materials under the 
     Act of July 31, 1947, commonly known as the Materials Act of 
     1947 (30 U.S.C. 601 and following).
     Such map shall be on file and available for public inspection 
     in the Office of the Secretary, and appropriate offices of

     title, the Secretary shall publish a legal description of the 
     Bodie Bowl area in the Federal Register.
       (b) Valid Existing Rights.--As used in this section, the 
     term ``valid existing rights'' in reference to the general 
     mining laws means that a mining claim located on lands within 
     the Bodie Bowl was properly located and maintained under the 
     general mining laws prior to the date of enactment of this 
     title, was supported by a discovery of a valuable mineral 
     deposit within the meaning of the general mining laws on the 
     date of enactment of this title, and that such claim 
     continues to be valid.
       (c) Validity Review.--The Secretary shall undertake an 
     expedited program to determine the validity of all unpatented 
     mining claims located within the Bodie Bowl. The expected 
     program shall include an examination of all unpatented mining 
     claims, including those for which a patent application has 
     not been filed. If a claim is determined to be invalid, the 
     Secretary shall promptly declare the claim to be null and 
     void, except that the Secretary shall not challenge the 
     validity of any claim located within the Bodie Bowl for the 
     failure to do assessment work for any period after the date 
     of enactment of this title. The Secretary shall make a 
     determination with respect to the validity of each claim 
     referred to under this subsection within two years after the 
     date of enactment of this title.
       (d) Limitation on Patent Issuance.--
       (1) Mining claims.--(A) After January 11, 1993, no patent 
     shall be issued by the United States for any mining claim

     unless the Secretary determines that, for the claim 
     concerned--
       (i) a patent application was filed with the Secretary on or 
     before such date; and
       (ii) all requirements established under sections 2325 and 
     2326 of the Revised Statutes (30 U.S.C. 29 and 30) for vein 
     or lode claims and sections 2329, 2330, 2331, and 2333 of the 
     Revised Statutes (30 U.S.C. 35, 36, 37) for placer claims 
     were fully complied with by that date.
       (B) If the Secretary makes the determinations referred to 
     in subparagraph (A) for any mining claim, the holder of the 
     claim shall be entitled to the issuance of a patent in the 
     same manner and degree to which such claim holder would have 
     been entitled to prior to the enactment of this title, unless 
     and until such determinations are withdrawn or invalidated by 
     the Secretary or by a court of the United States.
       (2) Mill site claims.--(A) After January 11, 1993, no 
     patent shall be issued by the United States for any mill site 
     claim located under the general mining laws within the Bodie 
     Bowl unless the Secretary determines that, for the claim 
     concerned--
       (i) a patent application was filed with the Secretary on or 
     before January 11, 1993; and
       (ii) all requirements applicable to such patent application 
     were fully complied with by that date.
       (B) If the Secretary makes the determinations referred to 
     in subparagraph (A) for any mill site claim, the holder of 
     the claim shall be entitled to the issuance of a patent in 
     the same manner and degree to which such claim holder would 
     have been entitled to prior to the enactment of this title, 
     unless and until such determinations are withdrawn or 
     invalidated by the Secretary or by a court of the United 
     States.

     SEC. 1005. MINERAL ACTIVITIES.

       (a) In General.--Notwithstanding the last sentence of 
     section 302(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
     of 1976, and in accordance with this title and other 
     applicable law, the Secretary shall require that mineral 
     activities be conducted in the Bodie Bowl so as to--
       (1) avoid adverse effects on the historic cultural, 
     recreational, and natural resource values of the Bodie Bowl; 
     and
       (2) minimize other adverse impacts to the environment.
       (b) Restoration of Effects of Mining Exploration.--As soon 
     as possible after the date of enactment of this Act, visible 
     evidence or other effects of mining exploration activity 
     within the Bodie Bowl conducted on or after September 1, 
     1988, shall be reclaimed by the operator in accordance with 
     regulations prescribed pursuant to subsection (d).
       (c) Annual Expenditures; Filing.--The requirements for 
     annual expenditures on unpatented mining claims imposed by 
     Revised Statute 2324 (30 U.S.C. 28) shall not apply to any 
     such claim located within the Bodie Bowl. In lieu of filing 
     the affidavit of assessment work referred to under section 
     314(a)(1) of the Federal land Policy and Management Act of 
     1976 (43 U.S.C. 1744(a)(1)), the holder of any unpatented 
     mining or mill site claim located within the Bodie Bowl shall 
     only be required to file the notice of intention to hold the 
     mining claim referred to in such section 314(a)(1).
       (d) Regulations.--The Secretary shall promulgate rules to 
     implement this section, in consultation with the Governor of 
     the State of California, within 180 days after the date of 
     enactment of this title. Such rules shall be no less 
     stringent that the rules promulgated pursuant to the Act of

       (a) In General.--The Secretary, in consultation with the 
     States of the Delta Region, the Lower Mississippi Delta 
     Development Center, and other appropriate Delta Region 
     institutions, is directed to prepare and transmit to the 
     Congress within three years after the date of the enactment 
     of this title, a study of significant natural, recreational, 
     historical or prehistorical, and cultural lands, waters, 
     sites, and structures located within the Delta Region. This 
     study shall take into consideration the research and 
     inventory of resources conducted by the Mississippi River 
     Heritage Corridor Study Commission.
       (b) Transportation Routes.--(1) The study shall include 
     recommendations on appropriate designation and interpretation 
     of historically significant roads, trails, byways, waterways, 
     or other routes within the Delta Region.
       (2) In order to provide for public appreciation, education, 
     understanding, interpretation, and enjoyment of the 
     significant sites identified pursuant to subsection (a), 
     which are accessible by public roads, the Secretary shall 
     recommend in the study vehicular tour routes along existing 
     public roads linking such sites within the Delta Region.
       (3) Such recommendations shall include an analysis of 
     designating the Great River Road (as depicted on the map 
     entitled ``Proposed Delta Transportation Network'' on pages

     appropriate route along existing public roads to commemorate 
     the importance of timber production and trade to the economic 
     development of the Delta Region in the early twentieth 
     century, and to highlight the continuing importance of timber 
     production and trade to the economic life of the Delta 
     Region. Recommendations shall include an analysis of 
     designating that portion of US 165 which extends from

     SEC. 1105. DELTA REGION HERITAGE CORRIDORS AND HERITAGE AND 
                   CULTURAL CENTERS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in 1990, the Congress authorized the Institute of 
     Museum Services to prepare a report assessing the needs of 
     small, emerging, minority, and rural museums in order to 
     identify the resources such museums needed to meet their 
     educational mission, to identify the areas of museum 
     operation in which the needs were greatest, and to make 
     recommendations on how these needs could best be met;
       (2) the Institute of Museum Services undertook a 
     comprehensive eighteen month study of such needs with the 
     assistance of two advisory groups, surveyed 524 museums from 
     throughout the Nation, held discussion groups in which 
     representatives of 25 museum groups participated, and 
     conducted case studies of 12 museum facilities around the 
     Nation;
       (3) on the basis of this assessment, the Institute of 
     Museum Services issued a report in September, 1992, entitled, 
     ``National Needs Assessment of Small, Emerging, Minority and 
     Rural Museums in the United States'' (hereinafter ``National 
     Needs Assessment'') which found that small, emerging, 
     minority, and rural museums provide valuable educational and 
     cultural resources for their communities and contain a 
     reservoir of the Nation's material, cultural and historical 
     heritage, but due to inadequate resources are unable to meet 
     their full potential or the demands of the surrounding 
     communities;
       (4) the needs of these institutions are not being met 
     through existing Federal programs;
       (5) fewer than half of the participants in the survey had 
     applied for Federal assistance in the past two years and that 
     many small, emerging, minority and rural museums believe 
     existing Federal programs do not meet their needs;
       (6) based on the National Needs Assessment, that funding 
     agencies should increase support available to small, 
     emerging, minority, and rural museums and make specific 
     recommendations for increasing technical assistance in order 
     to identify such institutions and provide assistance to 
     facilitate their participation in Federal programs;
       (7) the Delta Initiatives Report made specific 
     recommendations for the creation and development of centers 
     for the preservation of the cultural, historical, and 
     literary heritage of the Delta Region, including 
     recommendations for the establishment of a Delta Region 
     Native American Heritage and Cultural Center and a Delta 
     Region African American Heritage and Cultural Center with 
     additional satellite centers or museums linked throughout the 
     Delta Region;
       (8) the Delta Initiatives Report stated that new ways of 
     coordinating, preserving, and promoting the Delta Region's 
     literature, art, and music should be established including 
     the creation of a network to promote the Delta Region's 
     literary, artistic, and musical heritage; and
       (9) wholesale destruction and attrition of archeological 
     sites and structures has eliminated a significant portion of 
     Native American Heritage as well as the interpretive 
     potential of the Delta Region's parks and museums. 
     Furthermore, site and structure destruction is so severe that 
     an ambitious program of site and structure acquisition in the 
     Delta Region is necessary.
       (b) In General.--The Secretary, in consultation with the 
     States of the Delta Region, the Chairman of the National 
     Endowment for the Arts, the Chairman of the National 
     Endowment for the Humanities, the Director of the Smithsonian

     funding levels necessary to carry out these recommendations 
     and shall also include recommendations for improving access 
     of small, emerging, minority or rural museums to technical 
     and financial assistance.
       (4) Such plan shall be conducted in consultation with 
     institutions of higher education in the Delta Region with 
     expertise in African American studies, Southern studies, 
     archaeology, anthropology, history and other relevant fields.
       (5) Such plan shall make specific recommendations for 
     improving educational programs offered by existing cultural

          TITLE XII--NEW ORLEANS JAZZ NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK

     SEC. 1201. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``New Orleans Jazz National 
     Historical Park Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 1202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that:
       (1) Jazz is the United States' most widely recognized 
     indigenous music and art form. Congress previously recognized 
     jazz in 1987 through Senate Concurrent Resolution 57 as a 
     rare and valuable national treasure of international 
     importance.
       (2) The city of new Orleans is widely recognized as the 
     birthplace of jazz. In and around this city, cultural and 
     musical elements blended to form the unique American music 
     that is known as New Orleans jazz, which is an expression of 
     the cultural diversity of the lower Mississippi Delta Region.
       (3) Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve was 
     established to commemorate the cultural diversity of the 
     lower Mississippi Delta Region including a range of cultural 
     expressions like jazz.
       (b) Purpose.--In furtherance of the need to recognize the 
     value and importance of jazz, it is the purpose of this title 
     to establish a New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park to 
     preserve the origins, early history, development and 
     progression of jazz; provide visitors with opportunities to 
     experience the sights, sounds, and places where jazz evolved; 
     and implement innovative ways of establishing jazz 
     educational partnerships that will help to ensure that jazz 
     continues as a vital element of the culture of New Orleans 
     and our Nation.

     SEC. 1203. ESTABLISHMENT.

       (a) In General.--In order to assist in the preservation, 
     education, and interpretation of jazz as it has evolved in 
     New Orleans, and to provide technical assistance to a broad 
     range of organizations involved with jazz music and its

     SEC. 106. CONFORMING AMENDMENTS.

     striking ``and the rules and regulations adopted by the 
     Secretaries of the Interior and Health and Human Services 
     pursuant to section 107 of this Act''.
                       TITLE II--SELF-GOVERNANCE

     SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Tribal Self-Governance Act 
     of 1994''.

     SEC. 202. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) the tribal right of self-government flows from the 
     inherent sovereignty of Indian tribes and nations;
       (2) the United States recognizes a special government-to-
     government relationship with Indian tribes, including the 
     right of the tribes to self-governance, as reflected in the 
     Constitution, treaties, Federal statutes, and the course of 
     dealings of the United States with Indian tribes;
       (3) although progress has been made, the Federal 
     bureaucracy, with its centralized rules and regulations, has 
     eroded tribal self-governance and dominates tribal affairs;
       (4) the Tribal Self-Governance Demonstration Project was 
     designed to improve and perpetuate the government-to-
     government relationship between Indian tribes and the United 
     States and to strengthen tribal control over Federal funding 
     and program management; and
       (5) Congress has reviewed the results of the Tribal Self-
     Governance Demonstration Project and finds that--
       (A) transferring control to tribal governments, upon tribal 
     request, over funding and decisionmaking for Federal 
     programs, services, functions, and activities, or portions 
     thereof, is an effective way to implement the Federal policy 
     of government-to-government relations with Indian tribes; and
       (B) transferring control to tribal governments, upon tribal 
     request, over funding and decisionmaking for Federal 
     programs, services, functions, and activities strengthens the 
     Federal policy of Indian self-determination.

     SEC. 203. DECLARATION OF POLICY.

       It is the policy of this title to permanently establish and 
     implement tribal self-governance--
       (1) to enable the United States to maintain and improve its 
     unique and continuing relationship with, and responsibility 
     to, Indian tribes;
       (2) to permit each Indian tribe to choose the extent of the 
     participation of such tribe in self-governance;
       (3) to coexist with the provisions of the Indian Self-
     Determination Act relating to the provision of Indian 
     services by designated Federal agencies;
       (4) to ensure the continuation of the trust responsibility 
     of the United States to Indian tribes and Indian individuals;
       (5) to permit an orderly transition from Federal domination 
     of programs and services to provide Indian tribes with 
     meaningful authority to plan, conduct, redesign, and 
     administer programs, services, functions, and activities that 
     meet the needs of the individual tribal communities; and
       (6) to provide for an orderly transition through a planned 
     and measurable parallel reduction in the Federal bureaucracy.

     SEC. 204. TRIBAL SELF-GOVERNANCE.

       The Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act 
     is amended by adding at the end the following new title:
                   ``TITLE IV--TRIBAL SELF-GOVERNANCE

     ``SEC. 401. ESTABLISHMENT.

       ``The Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter in this title

     certain densely traveled corridors linking major metropolitan 
     areas in the United States;
       (2) high-speed rail may have environmental advantages over 
     certain other forms of intercity transportation;
       (3) Amtrak's Metroliner service between Washington, 
     District of Columbia, and New York, New York, the United 
     States premier high-speed rail service, has shown that 
     Americans will use high-speed rail when that transportation 
     option is available;
       (4) new high-speed rail service should not receive Federal 
     subsidies for operating and maintenance expenses;
       (5) State and local governments should take the prime 
     responsibility for the development and implementation of 
     high-speed rail service;
       (6) the private sector should participate in funding the 
     development of high-speed rail systems;
       (7) in some intercity corridors, Federal planning 
     assistance may be required to supplement the funding 
     commitments of State and local governments and the private 
     sector to ensure the adequate planning, including reasonable 
     estimates of the costs and benefits, of high-speed rail 
     systems;
       (8) improvement of existing technologies can facilitate the 
     development of high-speed rail systems in the United States; 
     and
       (9) Federal assistance is required for the improvement, 
     adaptation, and integration of technologies for commercial 
     application in high-speed rail service in the United States.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to encourage 
     farsighted State, local, and private efforts in the analysis 
     and planning for high-speed rail systems in appropriate 
     intercity travel corridors.

     SEC. 102. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) high-speed rail offers safe and efficient 
     transportation in certain densely traveled corridors linking 
     major metropolitan areas in the United States;
       (2) high-speed rail may have environmental advantages over 
     certain other forms of intercity transportation;
       (3) Amtrak's Metroliner service between Washington, 
     District of Columbia, and New York, New York, the United 
     States premier high-speed rail service, has shown that 
     Americans will use high-speed rail when that transportation 
     option is available;
       (4) new high-speed rail service should not receive Federal 
     subsidies for operating and maintenance expenses;
       (5) State and local governments should take the prime 
     responsibility for the devel- 

[[Page 2394]]

     opment and implementation of high-speed rail service;
       (6) the private sector should participate in funding the 
     development of high-speed rail systems;
       (7) in some intercity corridors, Federal planning 
     assistance may be required to supplement the funding 
     commitments of State and local governments and the private 
     sector to ensure the adequate planning, including reasonable 
     estimates of the costs and benefits, of high-speed rail 
     systems;
       (8) improvement of existing technologies can facilitate the 
     development of high-speed rail systems in the United States; 
     and
       (9) Federal assistance is required for the improvement, 
     adaptation, and integration of proven technologies for 
     commercial application in high-speed rail service in the 
     United States.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to encourage 
     farsighted State, local, and private efforts in the analysis 
     and planning for high-speed rail systems in appropriate 
     intercity corridors.

     SEC. 302. AUDIBLE WARNINGS AT HIGHWAY-RAIL GRADE CROSSINGS.

       (a) Amendment.--Subchapter II of chapter 201 of title 49, 
     United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
     following new section:

     ``Sec. 20153. Audible warnings at highway-rail grade 
       crossings

       ``(a) Definitions.--As used in this section--
       ``(1) the term ``highway-rail grade crossing'' includes any 
     street or highway crossing over a line of railroad at grade;
       ``(2) the term ``locomotive horn'' refers to a train-borne 
     audible warning device meeting standards specified by the 
     Secretary of Transportation; and
       ``(3) the term ``supplementary safety measure'' refers to a 
     safety system or procedure, provided by the appropriate 
     traffic control authority or law enforcement authority 
     responsible for safety at the highway-rail grade crossing, 
     that is determined by the Secretary to be an effective 
     substitute for the locomotive horn in the prevention of 
     highway-rail casualties. A traffic control arrangement that 
     prevents careless movement over the crossing (e.g., as where 
     adequate median barriers prevent movement around crossing 
     gates extending over the full width of the lanes in the 
     particular direction of travel), and that conforms to 
     standards prescribed by the Secretary under this subsection, 
     shall be deemed to constitute a supplementary safety measure. 
     The following do not, individually or in combination, 
     constitute supplementary safety measures within the meaning 
     of this subsection: standard traffic control devices or 
     arrangements such as reflectorized crossbucks, stop signs, 
     flashing lights, flashing lights with gates that do not 
     completely block travel over the line of railroad, or traffic 
     signals.
       ``(b) Requirement.--The Secretary of Transportation shall 
     prescribe regulations requiring that a locomotive horn shall 
     be sounded while each train is approaching and entering upon 
     each public highway-rail grade crossing.
       ``(c) Exception.--(1) In issuing such regulations, the 
     Secretary may except from the requirement to sound the 
     locomotive horn any categories of rail operations or 
     categories of highway-rail grade crossings (by train speed or 
     other factors specified by regulation)--
       ``(A) that the Secretary determines not to present a 
     significant risk with respect to loss of life or serious 
     personal injury;
       ``(B) for which use of the locomotive horn as a warning 
     measure is impractical; or
       ``(C) for which, in the judgment of the Secretary, 
     supplementary safety measures fully compensate for the 
     absence of the warning provided by the locomotive horn.
       ``(2) In order to provide for safety and the quiet of 
     communities affected by train operations, the Secretary may 
     specify in such regulations that any supplementary safety 
     measures must be applied to all highway-rail grade crossings 
     within a specified distance along the railroad in order to be 
     excepted from the requirement of this section.
       ``(d) Application for Waiver or Exemption.--Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of this subchapter, the Secretary may not 
     entertain an application for waiver or exemption of the 
     regulations issued under this section unless such application 
     shall have been submitted jointly by the railroad carrier 
     owning, or controlling operations over, the crossing and by 
     the appropriate traffic control authority or law enforcement 
     authority. The Secretary shall not grant any such application 
     unless, in the judgment of the Secretary, the application 
     demonstrates that the safety of highway users will not be 
     diminished.
       ``(e) Development of Supplementary Safety Measures.--(1) In 
     order to promote the quiet of communities affected by rail 
     operations and the development of innovative safety measures 
     at highway-rail grade crossings, the Secretary may, in 
     connection with demonstration of proposed new supplementary 
     safety measures, order railroad carriers operating over one 
     or more crossings to cease temporarily the sounding of 
     locomotive horns at such crossings. Any such measures shall 
     have been subject to testing and evaluation and deemed 
     necessary by the Secretary prior to actual use in lieu of the 
     locomotive horn.
       ``(2) The Secretary may include in regulations issued under 
     this subsection special procedures for approval of new 
     supplementary safety measures meeting the requirements of 
     subsection (c)(1) of this section following successful 
     demonstration of those measures.
       ``(f) Specific Rules.--The Secretary may, by regulation, 
     provide that the following crossings over railroad lines 
     shall be subject, in whole or in part, to the regulations 
     required under this section:
       ``(1) Private highway-rail grade crossings.
       ``(2) Pedestrian crossings.
       ``(3) Crossings utilized primarily by nonmotorized vehicles 
     and other special vehicles.
     Regulations issued under this subsection shall not apply to 
     any location where persons are not authorized to cross the 
     railroad.
       ``(g) Issuance.--The Secretary shall issue regulations 
     required by this section pertaining to categories of highway-
     rail grade crossings that in the judgment of the Secretary 
     pose the greatest safety hazard to rail and highway users not 
     later than 24 months following the date of enactment of this 
     section. The Secretary shall issue regulations pertaining to 
     any other categories of crossings not later than 48 months 
     following the date of enactment of this section.
       ``(h) Impact of Regulations.--The Secretary shall include 
     in regulations prescribed under this section a concise 
     statement of the impact of such regulations with respect to 
     the operation of section 20106 of this title (national 
     uniformity of regulation).''.
       (b) Table of Sections Amendment.--The table of sections for 
     subchapter II of chapter 201 of title 49, United States Code, 
     is amended by adding at the end the following new item:

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) improving the health status of United States citizens 
     ranks at the top of the national priorities of the Federal 
     Government;
       (2) the importance of nutrition and the benefits of dietary 
     supplements to health promotion and disease prevention have 
     been documented increasingly in scientific studies;
       (3)(A) there is a link between the ingestion of certain 
     nutrients or dietary supplements and the prevention of 
     chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and 
     osteoporosis; and
       (B) clinical research has shown that several chronic 
     diseases can be prevented simply with a healthful diet, such 
     as a diet that is low in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and 
     sodium, with a high proportion of plant-based foods;
       (4) healthful diets may mitigate the need for expensive 
     medical procedures, such as coronary bypass surgery or 
     angioplasty;
       (5) preventive health measures, including education, good 
     nutrition, and appropriate use of safe nutritional 
     supplements will limit the incidence of chronic diseases, and 
     reduce long-term health care expenditures;
       (6)(A) promotion of good health and healthy lifestyles 
     improves and extends lives while reducing health care 
     expenditures; and
       (B) reduction in health care expenditures is of paramount 
     importance to the future of the country and the economic 
     well-being of the country;
       (7) there is a growing need for emphasis on the 
     dissemination of information linking nutrition and long-term 
     good health;
       (8) consumers should be empowered to make choices about 
     preventive health care programs based on data from scientific 
     studies of health benefits related to particular dietary 
     supplements;
       (9) national surveys have revealed that almost 50 percent 
     of the 260,000,000 Americans regularly consume dietary 
     supplements of vitamins, minerals, or herbs as a means of 
     improving their nutrition;
       (10) studies indicate that consumers are placing increased 
     reliance on the use of nontraditional health care providers 
     to avoid the excessive costs of traditional medical services 
     and to obtain more holistic consideration of their needs;
       (11) the United States will spend over $1,000,000,000,000 
     on health care in 1994, which is about 12 percent of the 
     Gross National Product of the United States, and this amount 
     and percentage will continue to increase unless significant 
     efforts are undertaken to reverse the increase;
       (12)(A) the nutritional supplement industry is an integral 
     part of the economy of the United States;
       (B) the industry consistently projects a positive trade 
     balance; and
       (C) the estimated 600 dietary supplement manufacturers in 
     the United States produce approximately 4,000 products, with 
     total annual sales of such products alone reaching at least 
     $4,000,000,000;
       (13) although the Federal Government should take swift 
     action against products that are unsafe or adulterated, the 
     Federal Government should not take any actions to impose 
     unreasonable regulatory barriers limiting or slowing the flow 
     of safe products and accurate information to consumers;
       (14) dietary supplements are safe within a broad range of 
     intake, and safety problems with the supplements are 
     relatively rare; and
       (15)(A) legislative action that protects the right of 
     access of consumers to safe dietary supplements is necessary 
     in order to promote wellness; and
       (B) a rational Federal framework must be established to 
     supersede the current ad hoc, patchwork regulatory policy on 
     dietary supplements.

To the Congress of the United States:
  I hereby submit to the Congress the Annual Report of the Railroad 
Retirement Board for Fiscal Year 1993, pursuant to the provisions of 
section 7(b)(6) of the Railroad Retirement Act and section 12(1) of the 
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, Oct. 6, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, was referred to the Committee on 
Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Ways and Means.

Para. 121.56  message from the president--nafta modifications

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

To the Congress of the United States:
  In November 1993, in preparation for the implementation of the North 
American Free Trade Agreement [NAFTA] on January 1, 1994, I informed the 
Congress of my intent to modify the moratorium on the issuance of 
certificates of operating authority to Mexican-owned or -controlled 
motor carriers that was imposed by the Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1982 
(49 U.S.C. 10922(1)(2)(A)). The modification applied to Mexican charter 
and tour bus operations. At that time, I also informed the Congress that 
I would be notifying it of additional modifications to the moratorium 
with respect to Mexican operations as we continued to implement NAFTA's 
transportation provisions. In this regard, it is now my intention to 
further modify the moratorium to allow Mexican small package delivery 
services to operate in the United States provided that Mexico implements 
its NAFTA obligation to provide national treatment to U.S. small package 
delivery companies.
  Prior to its implementation of the NAFTA, Mexico limited foreign-owned 
small package delivery services, such as that offered by United Parcel 
Service and Federal Express, to trucks approximately the size of a 
minivan. This made intercity service impractical and effectively limited 
small-package delivery companies to intracity service only. Mexico has 
no similar restriction on the size of trucks used by Mexican small 
package delivery services. Because Mexico did not take a reserva- 

[[Page 2401]]

tion in this area, the NAFTA obligates Mexico to extend national 
treatment to U.S. small package and messenger service companies. Mexico 
must allow U.S. small package delivery services to use the same size 
trucks that Mexican small package delivery companies are permitted to 
use.
  Mexico, earlier this year, enacted legislation that addresses the 
small package delivery issue. Amendments to the Law on Roads, Bridges, 
and Federal Motor Carriers authorize parcel delivery and messenger 
services to operate without restriction so long as they obtain a permit 
from the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation and direct 
that such permits be granted in a timely fashion. The law includes no 
restrictions on the size and weight of parcels nor on the dimensions of 
the vehicles that small package delivery services will be permitted to 
use.
  At the North American Transportation Summit hosted by the United 
States on April 29, 1994, Mexico's Secretary of Communications and 
Transportation Emilio Gamboa reaffirmed his government's commitment to 
permit unrestricted operations by foreign-owned providers of small 
package delivery services in Mexico. In return, even though the United 
States does not have a similar obligation under the NAFTA, Secretary of 
Transportation Federico Pena stated the United States Government's 
intention to grant Mexican small package delivery service companies 
reciprocal operating rights in the United States by modifying the 
moratorium imposed by the Bus Regulatory Reform Act. Mexico and the 
United States agreed to establish a joint working group to specify the 
details of this arrangement by September 1, 1994.
  The U.S. small package delivery service industry is supportive of 
United States Government efforts to eliminate Mexico's restrictions on 
small package delivery operations. Provided Mexico implements its NAFTA 
obligation to extend national treatment to U.S. small package delivery 
companies, the U.S. industry would not object to a modification of the 
moratorium that would provide Mexican small package delivery companies 
reciprocal treatment in the United States.
  Provided that Mexico meets its NAFTA-imposed national treatment 
obligation to allow U.S.-owned small package delivery services 
unrestricted operations, I intend, pursuant to section 6 of the Bus 
Regulatory Reform Act, to modify the moratorium imposed by that section 
to permit Mexican small package delivery services to operate in the 
United States in exactly the same manner and to exactly the same extent 
that U.S. small package delivery services will be permitted to operate 
in Mexico. The Bus Regulatory Reform Act requires 60 days' advance 
notice to the Congress of my intention to modify or remove the 
moratorium. With this message, I am providing the advance notice so 
required.
                                                   William J. Clinton.  
  The White House, Oct. 6, 1994.

  By unanimous consent, the message, together with the accompanying 
papers, was referred to the Committee on Public Works and Transportation 
and ordered to be printed (H. Doc. 103-323).

              TITLE VII--RHINOCEROS AND TIGER CONSERVATION

     SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Rhinoceros and Tiger 
     Conservation Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 702. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The world's rhinoceros population is declining at an 
     alarming rate, a 90 percent decline since 1970.
       (2) All 5 subspecies of tiger are currently threatened with 
     extinction in the wild, with approximately 5,000 to 6,000 
     tigers remaining worldwide.
       (3) All rhinoceros species have been listed on Appendix I 
     of CITES since 1977.
       (4) All tiger subspecies have been listed on Appendix I of 
     CITES since 1987.
       (5) The tiger and all rhinoceros species, except the 
     southern subspecies of white rhinoceros, are listed as 
     endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
     (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
       (6) In 1987, the parties of CITES adopted a resolution that 
     urged all parties to establish a moratorium on the sale and 
     trade in rhinoceros products (other than legally taken 
     trophies), to destroy government stockpiles of rhinoceros 
     horn, and to exert pressure on countries continuing to allow 
     trade in rhinoceros products.
       (7) On September 7, 1993, under section 8 of the 
     Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1978) the 
     Secretary certified that the People's Republic of China and 
     Taiwan were engaged in trade of rhinoceros parts and tiger 
     parts that diminished the effectiveness of an international 
     conservation program for that endangered species.
       (8) On September 9, 1993, the Standing Committee on CITES, 
     in debating the continuing problem of trade in rhinoceros 
     horn and tiger parts, adopted a resolution urging parties to 
     CITES to implement stricter domestic measures, up to and 
     including an immediate prohibition in trade in wildlife 
     species.
       (9) On November 8, 1993, under section 8 of the Fishermen's 
     Protection Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1978), the President 
     announced that the United States would impose trade sanction 
     against China and Taiwan unless substantial progress was made 
     by March 1994 towards ending trade in rhinoceros and tiger 
     products.
       (10) On April 11, 1994, under section 8 of the Fishermen's 
     Protective Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1978), the President--
       (A) directed that imports of wildlife specimens and 
     products from Taiwan be prohibited, in response to Taiwan's 
     failure to undertake sufficient actions to stop illegal 
     rhinoceros and tiger trade; and
       (B) indicated that the certification of China would remain 
     in effect and directed that additional monitoring of China's 
     progress be undertaken.

     SEC. 703. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this Act are the following:
       (1) To assist in the conservation of rhinoceros and tigers 
     by supporting the conservation programs of nations whose 
     activities directly or indirectly affect rhinoceros and tiger 
     populations, and the CITES Secretariat.
       (2) To provide financial resources for those programs.

     SEC 704. DEFINITIONS.

       (2) ``conservation'' means the use of all methods and 
     procedures necessary to bring rhinoceros and tigers to the 
     point at which there are sufficient populations to ensure 
     that those species do not become extinct, including all

Para. 122.13  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. MILLER of California:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE, FINDINGS, AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the 
     ``Supplemental Payments in Lieu of Taxes Act of 1994''.
       (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) since 1907, Congress has enacted a variety of laws 
     under which the United States makes payments to States and 
     local governments based in various ways on the location, 
     management, or use of Federal lands;
       (2) in 1970, the Public Land Law Review Commission found 
     that ``existing revenue-sharing programs do not meet a 
     standard of equity and fair treatment either to State and 
     local governments nor to the Federal taxpayers'' and 
     recommended that these programs be replaced with a system of 
     payments-in-lieu-of-taxes (``PILT'');
       (3) in 1976, Congress enacted a PILT program, based 
     primarily on the location rather than the management or use 
     of Federal lands, in addition to, but not as a replacement 
     for, other payment programs;
       (4) local governmental units eligible for payments under 
     the PILT program vary considerably in terms of the rates of 
     taxation of non-Federal lands, the services provided to and 
     received from the United States because of the location of 
     Federal lands, and the level of payments received from the 
     United States under programs other than the PILT program;
       (5) since 1976, inflation has eroded the purchasing power 
     of PILT payments, while other developments have greatly 
     affected the other payments to States and local governments 
     that are related to the management and use of Federal lands; 
     and
       (6) under the circumstances described in these findings, it 
     is appropriate to authorize temporary increases in payments 
     under the PILT program, and to provide for later 
     consideration of a restructuring of both the PILT program and 
     other payment programs, along lines suggested by the Public 
     Land Law Review Commission.
       (c) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to authorize a 
     temporary increase in PILT payments, while requiring a review 
     of payment programs and the submission of recommendations as 
     to whether the PILT program and other payment programs should 
     be revised to more fully achieve the goals of equitable 
     treatment of both payment recipients and the Federal 
     taxpayers.

     payments under the PILT Act.
       (2) Payments authorized by this Act shall be calculated in

     SEC. 3. STUDY AND REPORT.

       (a) Deadline and Recommendations.--(1) No later than 
     January 1, 1996, the Comptroller General of the United States 
     shall submit to the Congress a report concerning the results 
     of the study described in subsection (b) of this section.
       (2) The report required by paragraph (1) shall include 
     recommendations for revisions of the PILT Act and other laws 
     that would--
       (A) provide reasonably predictable payments that are at 
     least as stable as receipts from taxes on non-Federal lands; 
     and
       (B) provide an equitable payment system to compensate units 
     of local government for

[[Page 2412]]

     the net costs incurred by such governments as a result of the 
     presence of Federal lands that are not within the local tax 
     base.
       (b) Study.--In preparing the report required by this 
     section, the Comptroller General shall--
       (1) review the authorities and resulting payments under the 
     PILT Act and other laws providing payments to States and 
     units of local government related to the presence of Federal 
     lands within the jurisdiction of recipient units of 
     government, including the extent to which such payments 
     differ because of disparate treatment of lands classed as 
     public domain and those classed as acquired lands;
       (2) assess the adequacy of agency auditing and monitoring, 
     and of the funding for such auditing and monitoring, of the 
     reports required by section 6903(b)(2) of title 31, United 
     States Code;
       (3) compare the payments under the PILT Act and other 
     studied laws with--
       (A) the net costs imposed on recipient units of local 
     governments by the presence of Federal lands;
       (B) the tax payments private landowners would likely have 
     paid to recipient units during the same period; and
       (C) services provided to local units of government by 
     Federal land-managing agencies;
       (4) examine how payments under the PILT Act and other 
     studied laws affect and interact with the rates of taxation 
     imposed by local units of government on non-Federal lands, 
     including the extent to which total Federal payments are 
     affected by State laws providing for the distribution to 
     independent entities (other than units of general local 
     government);
       (5) assess the cost and equity of expanding the categories 
     of lands that would be included in the ``entitlement lands'', 
     as such term is used in the PILT Act, including (but not 
     limited) to Indian trust lands and acquired lands included in 
     the National Wildlife Refuge System;
       (6) identify the extent to which the States make payments 
     to their political subdivisions that are related to the 
     presence within such subdivisions of State-owned lands; and
       (7) examine alternatives to the current system of payments 
     under the PILT Act and other laws, including (but not limited 
     to) methods used by States to make payments to their 
     political subdivisions related to the location of State-owned 
     lands within such subdivisions.

Para. 122.17  quinebaug and shetucket rivers valley

  On motion of Mr. VENTO, by unanimous consent, the bill (H.R. 1348) to 
establish the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage 
Corridor in the State of Connecticut, and for other purposes; together 
with the following amendment of the Senate thereto, was taken from the 
Speaker's table:

       Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the 
     following:

   TITLE I--QUINEBAUG AND SHETUCKET RIVERS VALLEY NATIONAL HERITAGE 
                                CORRIDOR

     SECTION 101. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Quinebaug and Shetucket 
     Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor Act of 1994''.

     SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley in the State 
     of Connecticut is one of the last unspoiled and undeveloped 
     areas in the Northeastern United States and has remained 
     largely intact, including important aboriginal archaeological 
     sites, excellent water quality, beautiful rural landscapes, 
     architecturally significant mill structures and mill 
     villages, and large acreages of parks and other permanent 
     open space;
       (2) the State of Connecticut ranks last among the 50 States 
     in the amount of federally protected park and open space 
     lands within its borders and lags far behind the other 
     Northeastern States in the amount of land set-aside for 
     public recreation;
       (3) the beautiful rural landscapes, scenic vistas and 
     excellent water quality of the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers 
     contain significant undeveloped recreational opportunities 
     for people throughout the United States;
       (4) the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley is within a 
     two-hour drive of the major metropolitan areas of New York 
     City, Hartford, Providence, Worcester, Springfield, and 
     Boston. With the President's Commission on Americans Outdoors 
     reporting that Americans are taking shorter ``closer-to-
     home'' vacations, the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley 
     represents important close-by recreational opportunities for 
     significant population;
       (5) the existing mill sites and other structures throughout 
     the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley were instrumental 
     in the development of the industrial revolution;
       (6) the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley contains a 
     vast number of discovered and unrecovered Native American and 
     colonial archaeological sites significant to the history of 
     North America and the United States;
       (7) the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley represents 
     one of the last traditional upland farming and mill village 
     communities in the Northeastern United States;
       (8) the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley played a 
     nationally significant role in the cultural evolution of the 
     prewar colonial period, leading the transformation from 
     Puritan to Yankee, the ``Great Awakening'' religious revival 
     and early political development leading up to and during the 
     War of Independence; and
       (9) many local, regional and State `agencies businesses, 
     and private citizens and the New England Governors' 
     Conference have expressed an overwhelming desire to combine 
     forces: to work cooperatively to preserve and enhance 
     resources region-wide and better plan for the future.

     River Creole National Historical Park and National Heritage 
     Area Act''.

     SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Natchitoches area along Cane River, established in 
     1714, is the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana 
     Purchase territory;
       (2) the Cane River area is the locale of the development of 
     Creole culture, from French-Spanish interactions of the early 
     18th century to today's living communities;
       (3) the Cane River, historically a segment of the Red 
     River, provided the focal point for early settlement, serving 
     as a transportation route upon which commerce and 
     communication reached all parts of the colony;
       (4) although a number of Creole structures, sites, and 
     landscapes exist in Louisiana and elsewhere, unlike the Cane 
     River area, most are isolated examples, and lack original 
     outbuilding complexes or integrity;
       (5) the Cane River area includes a great variety of 
     historical features with original elements in both rural and 
     urban settings and a cultural landscape that represents 
     various aspects of Creole culture, providing the base for a 
     holistic approach to understanding the broad continuum of 
     history within the region;
       (6) the Cane River region includes the Natchitoches 
     National Historic Landmark District, composed of 
     approximately 300 publicly and privately owned properties, 
     four other national historic landmarks, and other structures 
     and sites that may meet criteria for landmark significance 
     following further study;
       (7) historic preservation within the Cane River area has 
     greatly benefited from individuals and organizations that 
     have strived to protect their heritage and educate others 
     about their rich history; and
       (8) because of the complexity and magnitude of preservation 
     needs in the Cane River area, and the vital need for a 
     culturally sensitive approach, a partnership approach is 
     desirable for addressing the many preservation and 
     educational needs.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of titles III and IV of this 
     Act are to--
       (1) recognize the importance of the Cane River Creole 
     culture as a nationally significant element of the cultural 
     heritage of the United States;

[[Page 2415]]

       (2) establish a Cane River Creole National Historical Park 
     to serve as the focus of interpretive and educational 
     programs on the history of the Cane River area and to assist 
     in the preservation of certain historic sites along the 
     river; and
       (3) establish a Cane River National Heritage Area and 
     Commission to be undertaken in partnership with the State of 
     Louisiana, the City of Natchitoches, local communities and 
     settlements of the Cane River area, preservation 
     organizations, and private landowners, with full recognition 
     that programs must fully involve the local communities and 
     landowners.

     of a State Department of Public Health, or its equivalent 
     after ``interested United States Government agency''; and

     General may change the status of an alien that qualifies 
     under this subsection and section 212(e) to that of an alien 
     described in section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b).

     aggregate of at least two years following departure from the 
     United States.

     subsection, the two-year foreign residence requirement under 
     section 212(e) shall apply with respect to an alien described 
     in clause (iii) of that section, who has not otherwise been 
     accorded status under section 101(a)(27)(H), if at any time 
     the alien practices medicine in an area other than an area 
     described in paragraph (1)(C).''.

                   JURISDICTION OVER THE ARSENAL.

       (a) Principles of Transfer.--
       (1) Land use plan.--The Congress ratifies in principle the 
     proposals generally identified by the land use plan which was 
     developed by the Joliet Arsenal Citizen Planning Commission 
     and unanimously approved on April 8, 1994.
       (2) Transfer without reimbursement.--The area constituting 
     the MNP shall be transferred, without reimbursement, to the 
     Secretary of Agriculture.
       (3) Management of mnp.--Management by the Secretary of 
     Agriculture of those portions of the Arsenal transferred to 
     the Secretary under this Act shall be in accordance with 
     section 5 establishing the MNP.
       (4) Security measures.--The Secretary of the Army, the 
     Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of Veterans 
     Affairs, shall each provide and maintain physical and other 
     security measures on such portion of the Arsenal as is under 
     the administrative jurisdiction of such Secretary. Such 
     security measures (which may include fences and natural 
     barriers) shall include measures to prevent members of the 
     public from gaining unauthorized access to such portions of 
     the Arsenal as are under the administrative jurisdiction of 
     such Secretary and that may endanger health or safety.
       (5) Cooperative agreements.--The Secretary of the Army, the 
     Secretary of Agriculture, and the Administrator are 
     individually and collectively authorized to enter into 
     cooperative agreements and memoranda of understanding among 
     each other and with other affected Federal agencies, State 
     and local governments, private organizations, and 
     corporations to carry out the purposes for which the MNP is 
     established.
       (b) Interim Activities of the Secretary of Agriculture.--
     Prior to transfer and subject to such reasonable terms and 
     conditions as the Secretary of the Army may prescribe, the 
     Secretary of Agriculture may enter upon the Arsenal property 
     for purposes related to planning, resource inventory, fish 
     and wildlife habitat manipulation (which may include 
     prescribed burning), and other such activities consistent 
     with the purposes for which the MNP is established.
       (c) Phased Transfer of Jurisdiction.--Jurisdiction over 
     lands comprising the Arsenal shall be transferred as follows:
       (1) Initial transfer.--Within 6 months after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Army shall 
     effect the transfer of those portions of the Arsenal property 
     identified for transfer to the Secretary of Agriculture 
     pursuant to subsection (d) and to the Secretary of Veterans 
     Affairs pursuant to section 6(a)(2). In the case of the 
     Arsenal property to be transferred to the Secretary of 
     Agriculture, the Secretary of the Army shall transfer to the 
     Secretary of Agriculture only those portions for which the 
     Secretary of the Army and the Administrator concur that no 
     further action is required under any environmental law and 
     which therefore have been eliminated from the areas to be 
     further studied pursuant to the Defense Environmental 
     Restoration Program for the Arsenal. Within 4 months after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the 
     Army and the Administrator shall provide to the Secretary of 
     Agriculture all existing documentation supporting such 
     finding and all existing information relating to the 
     environmental conditions of the portions of the Arsenal to be 
     transferred to the Secretary of Agriculture pursuant to this 
     paragraph.

     transfer in accordance with section 6(b) to the Secretary of 
     Agriculture any portion of the property generally identified 
     in subsection (d) and not transferred pursuant to paragraph 
     (1) after the Secretary of the Army and the Administrator 
     concur that no further action is required at that portion of 
     property under any environmental law and that such portion is 
     therefore eliminated from the areas to be further studied 
     pursuant to the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for 
     the Arsenal. At least 2 months before any transfer under this 
     paragraph, the Secretary of the Army and the Administrator 
     shall provide to the Secretary of Agriculture all existing 
     documentation supporting such finding and all existing 
     information relating to the environmental conditions of the 
     portion of the Arsenal to be transferred. Transfer of 
     jurisdiction pursuant to this paragraph may be accomplished 
     on a parcel-by-parcel basis. This paragraph, paragraph (1), 
     and their requirements shall not in any way affect the 
     responsibilities and liabilities of the Secretary of the Army 
     specified in section 4.
       (d) Identification of Portions for Transfer for MNP.--The 
     lands to be transferred under subsection (c) shall be 
     identified on a map or maps which shall be agreed to by the 
     Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of Agriculture. 
     Generally, the land to be transferred to the Secretary of 
     Agriculture shall be all the real property and improvements 
     comprising the Arsenal, except for lands and facilities 
     described in subsection (e) or designated for disposal under 
     section 6.
       (e) Property Used for Environmental Cleanup.--

     substance, pollutant or contaminant, hazardous material, or 
     petroleum products or their derivatives;
       (C) other purposes related to any response action at the 
     Arsenal; and
       (D) other actions required at the Arsenal under any 
     environmental law to remediate contamination or conditions of 
     noncompliance with any environmental law.
       (2) Conditions.--The Secretary of the Army shall consult 
     with the Secretary of Agriculture regarding the 
     identification and management of the real property retained 
     under this subsection and ensure that activities carried out 
     on that property are consist- 

[[Page 2442]]

     ent, to the extent practicable, with the purposes for which 
     the MNP is established, as specified in subsection (c) of 
     section 5, and with the other provisions of such section.
       (3) Priority of response actions.--In the case of any 
     conflict between management of the property by the Secretary 
     of Agriculture and any response action or other action 
     required under environmental law to remediate petroleum 
     products or their derivatives, the response action or other 
     such action shall take priority.
       (f) Surveys.--All costs of necessary surveys for the 
     transfer of jurisdiction of properties among Federal agencies 
     shall be shared equally by the Secretary of the Army and the 
     Secretary of the Department receiving the property. For lands 
     transferred to a non-Federal agency pursuant to section 6, 
     the Secretary of the Army shall pay the survey costs.

     implementation of section 3(b). With respect to the real

     Agriculture.
       (2) Liability of secretary of the army.--The Secretary of

     Secretary of Agriculture determines to be in excess of the 
     cost of doing such work shall be transferred, upon such 
     determination, to miscellaneous receipts, Forest Service 
     Fund, as a National Forest receipt of the fiscal year in

     SEC. 104. LICENSING.

       (a) In General.--No high seas fishing vessel shall engage 
     in harvesting operations on the high seas unless the vessel 
     has on board a valid license issued under this section.
       (b) Eligibility.--
       (1) Any vessel of the United States is eligible to receive 
     a license under this section, unless the vessel was 
     previously authorized to be used for fishing on the high seas 
     by a foreign nation, and
       (A) the foreign nation suspended such authorization because 
     the vessel undermined the effectiveness of international 
     conservation and management measures, and the suspension has 
     not expired; or
       (B) the foreign nation, within the last three years 
     preceding application for a license under this section, 
     withdrew such authorization because the vessel undermined the 
     effectiveness of international conservation and management 
     measures.
       (2) The restriction in paragraph (1) does not apply if 
     ownership of the vessel has changed since the vessel 
     undermined the effectiveness of international conservation 
     and management measures, and the new owner has provided 
     sufficient evidence to the Secretary demonstrating that the 
     previous owner or operator has no further legal, beneficial 
     or financial interest in, or control of, the vessel.
       (3) The restriction in paragraph (1) does not apply if the 
     Secretary makes a determination that issuing a license would 
     not subvert the purposes of the Agreement.
       (4) The Secretary may not issue a license to a vessel 
     unless the Secretary is satisfied that the United States will 
     be able to exercise effectively its responsibilities under 
     the Agreement with respect to that vessel.
       (c) Application.--
       (1) The owner or operator of a high seas fishing vessel may 
     apply for a license under this section by completing an 
     application form prescribed by the Secretary.

       (d) Conditions.--The Secretary shall establish such 
     conditions and restrictions on each license issued under this 
     section as are necessary and appropriate to carry out the 
     obligations of the United States under the Agreement, 
     including but not limited to the following:
       (1) The vessel shall be marked in accordance with the FAO 
     Standard Specifications for the Marking and Identification of 
     Fishing Vessels, or with regulations issued under section 305 
     of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 
     U.S.C. 1855); and
       (2) The license holder shall report such information as the 
     Secretary by regulation requires, including area of fishing 
     operations and catch statistics. The Secretary shall 
     promulgate regulations concerning conditions under which 
     information submitted under this paragraph may be released.
       (e) Fees.--
       (1) The Secretary may by regulation establish the level of 
     fees to be charged for licenses issued under this section. 
     The amount of any fee charged for a license issued under this 
     section may not exceed the administrative costs incurred in 
     issuing such licenses. The licensing fee shall be in addition 
     to any fee required under any regional licensing regime 
     applicable to high seas fishing vessels.
       (2) The fees authorized by paragraph (1) shall be collected 
     and credited to the Operations, Research and Facilities 
     account of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
     Administration. Fees collected under this subsection shall be 
     available for the necessary expenses of the National Oceanic 
     and Atmospheric Administration in implementing this Act, and 
     shall remain available until expended.
       (f) Duration.--A license issued under this section is valid 
     for the period specified in regulations issued under section 
     105(d). A license issued under this section is void in the 
     event the vessel is no longer eligible for U.S. 
     documentation, such documentation is revoked or denied, or 
     the vessel is deleted from such documentation.

     SEC. 105. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SECRETARY.

     Secretary's determination to issue the license;
       (5) report promptly to FAO all relevant information 
     regarding any activities of high seas fishing vessels that 
     undermine the effectiveness of international conservation and 
     management measures, including the identity of the vessels 
     and any sanctions imposed; and
       (6) provide the FAO a summary of evidence regarding any 
     activities of foreign vessels that undermine the 
     effectiveness of international conservation and management 
     measures.
       (c) Information to Flag Nations.--If the Secretary, in 
     cooperation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of 
     the department in which the Coast Guard is operating, has 
     reasonable grounds to believe that a foreign vessel has 
     engaged in activities undermining the effectiveness of 
     international conservation and management measures, the 
     Secretary shall--
       (1) provide to the flag nation information, including 
     appropriate evidentiary material, relating to those 
     activities; and
       (2) when such foreign vessel is voluntarily in a United 
     States port, promptly notify the flag nation and, if 
     requested by the flag nation, make arrangements to undertake 
     such lawful investigatory measures as may be considered 
     necessary to establish whether the vessel has been used 
     contrary to the provisions of the Agreement.
       (d) Regulations.--The Secretary, after consultation with 
     the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the department in 
     which the Coast Guard is operating, may promulgate such 
     regulations, in accordance with section 553 of title 5, 
     United States Code, as may be necessary to carry out the 
     purposes of the Agreement and this title. The Secretary shall 
     coordinate such regulations with any other entities 
     regulating high seas fishing vessels, in order to minimize 
     duplication of license application and reporting 
     requirements. To the extent practicable, such regulations 
     shall also be consistent with regulations implementing 
     fishery management plans under the Magnuson Fishery 
     Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
       (e) Notice of International Conservation and Management 
     Measures.--The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary 
     of State, shall publish in the Federal Register, from time to

     incomplete, or misleading;
       (5) to refuse to permit an authorized officer to board a 
     high seas fishing vessel subject to such person's control for 
     purposes of conducting any search or inspection in connection 
     with the enforcement of this title or any regulation issued 
     under this title;

     permit has been issued pursuant to this title for such 
     vessel, such officer shall note the issuance of any citation

     SEC. 108. CIVIL PENALTIES AND LICENSE SANCTIONS.

       (a) Civil Penalties.--
       (1) Any person who is found by the Secretary, after notice 
     and opportunity for a hearing in accordance with section 554 
     of title 5, United States Code, to have committed an act 
     prohibited by section 106 shall be liable to the United 
     States for a civil penalty. The amount of the civil penalty 
     shall not exceed $100,000 for each violation. Each day of a 
     continuing violation shall constitute a separate offense. The 
     amount of such civil penalty shall be assessed by the 
     Secretary by written notice. In determining the amount of 
     such penalty, the Secretary shall take into account the 
     nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the prohibited 
     acts committed and, with respect to the violation, the degree 
     of culpability, any history of prior offenses, and such other 
     matters as justice may require.
       (2) The Secretary may compromise, modify, or remit, with or 
     without conditions, any civil penalty that is subject to 
     imposition or that has been imposed under this section.
       (b) License Sanctions.--
       (1) In any case in which--
       (A) a vessel of the United States has been used in the 
     commission of an act prohibited under section 106;
       (B) the owner or operator of a vessel or any other person 
     who has been issued or has applied for a license under 
     section 104 has acted in violation of section 106; or
       (C) any amount in settlement of a civil forfeiture imposed 
     on a high seas fishing vessel or other property, or any civil 
     penalty or criminal fine imposed on a high seas fishing 
     vessel or on an owner or operator of such a vessel or on any 
     other person who has been issued or has applied for a license 
     under any fishery resource statute enforced by the Secretary, 
     has not been paid and is overdue, the Secretary may--
       (i) revoke any license issued to or applied for by such 
     vessel or person under this title, with or without prejudice 
     to the issuance of subsequent licenses;
       (ii) suspend such license for a period of time considered 
     by the Secretary to be appropriate;
       (iii) deny such license; or
       (iv) impose additional conditions and restrictions on such 
     license.
       (2) In imposing a sanction under this subsection, the 
     Secretary shall take into account--
       (A) the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the 
     prohibited acts for which the sanction is imposed; and
       (B) with respect to the violator, the degree of 
     culpability, any history of prior offenses,

[[Page 2446]]

     and such other matters as justice may require.
       (3) Transfer of ownership of a high seas fishing vessel, by 
     sale or otherwise, shall not extinguish any license sanction 
     that is in effect or is pending at the time of transfer of 
     ownership. Before executing the transfer of ownership of a 
     vessel, by sale or otherwise, the owner shall disclose in 
     writing to the prospective transferee the existence of any 
     license sanction that will be in effect or pending with 
     respect to the vessel at the time of the transfer. The 
     Secretary may waive or compromise a sanction in the case of a 
     transfer pursuant to court order.
       (4) In the case of any license that is suspended under this 
     subsection for nonpayment of a civil penalty or criminal 
     fine, the Secretary shall reinstate the license upon payment 
     of the penalty or fine and interest thereon at the prevailing 
     rate.
       (5) No sanctions shall be imposed under this subsection 
     unless there has been prior opportunity for a hearing on the 
     facts underlying the violation for which the sanction is 
     imposed, either in conjunction with a civil penalty 
     proceeding under this section or otherwise.
       (c) Hearing.--For the purposes of conducting any hearing 
     under this section, the Secretary may issue subpoenas for the 
     attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of 
     relevant papers, books, and documents, and may administer 
     oaths. Witnesses summoned shall be paid the same fees and 
     mileage that are paid to witnesses in the courts of the 
     United States. In case of contempt or refusal to obey a 
     subpoena served upon any person pursuant to this subsection, 
     the district court of the United States for any district in 
     which such person is found, resides, or transacts business, 
     upon application by the United States and after notice to 
     such person, shall have jurisdiction to issue an order 
     requiring such person to appear and give testimony before the 
     Secretary or to appear and produce documents before the 
     Secretary, or both, and any failure to obey such order of the 
     court may be punished by such court as a contempt thereof.
       (d) Judicial Review.--Any person against whom a civil 
     penalty is assessed under subsection (a) or against whose 
     vessel a license sanction is imposed under subsection (b) 
     (other than a license suspension for nonpayment of penalty or 
     fine) may obtain review thereof in the United States district 
     court for the appropriate district by filing a complaint 
     against the Secretary in such court within 30 days from the 
     date of such penalty or sanction. The Secretary shall 
     promptly file in such court a certified copy of the record 
     upon which such penalty or sanction was imposed, as provided 
     in section 2112 of title 28, United States Code. The findings 
     and order of the Secretary shall be set aside by such court 
     if they are not found to be supported by substantial 
     evidence, as provided in section 706(2) of title 5, United 
     States Code.
       (e) Collection.--
       (1) If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil 
     penalty after it has become a final and unappealable order, 
     or after the appropriate court has entered final judgment in 
     favor of the Secretary, the matter shall be referred to the 
     Attorney General, who shall recover the amount assessed in 
     any appropriate district court of the United States. In such 
     action the validity and appropriateness of the final order 
     imposing the civil penalty shall not be subject to review.
       (2) A high seas fishing vessel (including its fishing gear, 
     furniture, appurtenances, stores, and cargo) used in the 
     commission of an act prohibited by section 106 shall be 
     liable in rem for any civil penalty assessed for such 
     violation under subsection (a) and may be proceeded against 
     in any district court of the United States having 
     jurisdiction thereof. Such penalty shall constitute a 
     maritime lien on such vessel that may be recovered in an 
     action in rem in the district court of the United States 
     having jurisdiction over the vessel.

     SEC. 109. CRIMINAL OFFENSES.

     person commits any act prohibited by paragraph (6), (7), (8), 
     or (9) of section 106.
       (b) Punishment.--Any offense described in subsection (a) is 
     a class A misdemeanor punishable by a fine under title 18, 
     United States Code, or imprisonment for not more than one

     offense the person uses a dangerous weapon, engages in 
     conduct that causes bodily injury to any authorized officer, 
     or places any such officer in fear of imminent bodily injury, 
     the offense is a felony punishable by a fine under title 18, 
     United States Code, or imprisonment for not more than 10 
     years, or both.

     SEC. 110. FORFEITURES.

       (a) In General.--Any high seas fishing vessel (including 
     its fishing gear, furniture, appurtenances, stores, and 
     cargo) used, and any living marine resources (or the fair 
     market value thereof) taken or retained, in any manner, in 
     connection with or as a result of the commission of any act 
     prohibited by section 106 (other than an act for which the 
     issuance of a citation under section 107 is a sufficient 
     sanction) shall be subject to forfeiture to the United 
     States. All or part of such vessel may, and all such living 
     marine resources (or the fair market value thereof) shall, be 
     forfeited to the United States pursuant to a civil proceeding 
     under this section.
       (b) Jurisdiction of District Courts.--Any district court of 
     the United States shall have jurisdiction, upon application 
     of the Attorney General on behalf of the United States, to

     action provided for under subsection (d).
       (c) Judgment.--If a judgment is entered for the United 
     States in a civil forfeiture proceeding under this section, 
     the Attorney General may seize any property or other interest 
     declared forfeited to the United States, which has not 
     previously been seized pursuant to this title or for which 
     security has not previously been obtained. The provisions of 
     the customs laws relating to --
       (1) the seizure, forfeiture, and condemnation of property 
     for violation of the customs law;
       (2) the disposition of such property or the proceeds from 
     the sale thereof; and
       (3) the remission or mitigation of any such forfeiture;
     shall apply to seizures and forfeitures incurred, or alleged 
     to have been incurred, under the provisions of this title, 
     unless such provisions are inconsistent with the purposes, 
     policy, and provisions of this title.
       (d) Procedure.--
       (1) Any officer authorized to serve any process in rem that 
     is issued by a court under section 107(b) shall--
       (A) stay the execution of such process; or
       (B) discharge any living marine resources seized pursuant 
     to such process;
     upon receipt of a satisfactory bond or other security from 
     any person claiming such property. Such bond or other 
     security shall be conditioned upon such person delivering 
     such property to the appropriate court upon order thereof, 
     without any impairment of its value, or paying the monetary 
     value of such property pursuant to an order of such court. 
     Judgment shall be recoverable on such bond or other security 
     against both the principal and any sureties in the event that 
     any condition thereof is breached, as determined by such 
     court.
       (2) Any living marine resources seized pursuant to this 
     title may be sold, subject to the approval of the appropriate 
     court, for not less than the fair market value thereof. The 
     proceeds of any such sale shall be deposited with such court 
     pending the disposition of the matter involved.
       (e) Rebuttable Presumption.--For purposes of this section, 
     all living marine resources found on board a high seas 
     fishing vessel and which are seized in connection with an act 
     prohibited by section 106 are presumed to have been taken or 
     retained in violation of this title, but the presumption can 
     be rebutted by an appropriate showing of evidence to the 
     contrary.

     SEC. 408. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING CONSERVATION AND 
                   MANAGEMENT OF ATLANTIC BLUEFIN TUNA.

       (a) Finding.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Atlantic bluefin tuna are a valuable commercial and 
     recreational fishery of the United States.
       (2) Many other countries also harvest Atlantic bluefin tuna 
     in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
       (3) The International Commission for the Conservation of 
     Atlantic Tunas (hereinafter in this section referred to as 
     the ``Commission''), was established in 1969 to develop 
     conservation and management recommendations for Atlantic 
     bluefin tuna and other highly migratory species in the 
     Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
       (4) The Commission adopted conservation and management 
     recommendations in 1974 to ensure the recovery and 
     sustainability of Atlantic bluefin tuna throughout the 
     Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
       (5) In 1981, the Commission adopted a management strategy 
     for Atlantic bluefin tuna predicated on a hypothesis that 2 
     stocks of the fish existed: a western stock found in the 
     Atlantic west of 45 degrees west longitude (hereinafter in 
     this section 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.
       (6) Since 1981, the Commission has adopted additional, more 
     restrictive conservation and management recommendations for 
     Atlantic bluefin tuna for countries that harvest bluefin tuna 
     west of the 45 degree line, including a 25 percent quota 
     reduction since 1991 with an additional 40 percent quota 
     reduction scheduled for 1995.
       (7) The United States and other Commission members that 
     harvest bluefin tuna west of the 45 degree line have 
     implemented all conservation and management recommendations 
     adopted by the Commission for Atlantic bluefin tuna west of 
     the 45 degree line.
       (8) Many other Commission members do not comply with the 
     conservation and management recommendations adopted by the 
     Commission for Atlantic bluefin tuna east of the 45 degree 
     line.
       (9) A recent National Academy of Sciences review of the 
     scientific data used by the Commission concluded that the 
     available data is consistent with a 1-stock management 
     strategy for bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic.
       (10) The National Academy of Sciences review also found 
     that abundance of Atlantic bluefin tuna in the western 
     Atlantic has remained stable since 1988, in contrast to the 
     roughly 50 percent decline in abundance reported by the 
     Commission.
       (11) The continued unrestricted harvesting of Atlantic 
     bluefin tuna east of the 45 degree line and in the 
     Mediterranean Sea will undermine the conservation 
     recommendations being implemented west of the line to rebuild 
     Atlantic bluefin tuna.
       (12) In order to successfully rebuild the Atlantic bluefin 
     tuna stock, conservation and management recommendations must 
     be adopted and implemented throughout the Atlantic Ocean and 
     the Mediterranean Sea.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the United States and the Commission should continue to 
     promote the conservation and management of Atlantic bluefin 
     tuna throughout the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea and 
     develop a program to rebuild Atlantic bluefin tuna that 
     requires the participation of all nations that harvest this 
     species;
       (2) the United States should ensure that the scientific 
     findings and recommendations of the National Academy of 
     Sciences Atlantic bluefin tuna review panel are made 
     available to and included in the considerations of the 
     Commission's scientific advisory panel;
       (3) the United States should oppose any further quota 
     reductions for nations harvesting Atlantic bluefin tuna west 
     of the 45 degree line and insist that all nations harvesting 
     Atlantic bluefin tuna west and east of the 45 degree line 
     implement comparable conservation and rebuilding programs for 
     the Atlantic bluefin tuna resource;
       (4) the continued harvesting by fishermen from any country 
     which is a member of the Commission and which does not comply 
     with the conservation and management recommendations of the 
     Commission 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 subject to the embargo provision in section 6 of the 
     Atlantic Tunas Convention Act;
       (5) the United States should encourage other nations with 
     significant markets for Atlantic bluefin tuna to prohibit the 
     importation of that species from harvesting nations which do 
     not comply with the conservation and management 
     recommendations adopted by the Commission; and
       (6) the United States should encourage the Commission to 
     adopt recommendations encouraging the use of trade actions by 
     member nations as enforcement measures when the actions of a 
     nation are undermining the effectiveness of conservation and 
     management recommendations of the Commission.
                  TITLE V--FISHERMEN'S PROTECTIVE ACT

     SEC. 501. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) customary international law and the United Nations 
     Convention on the Law of the Sea guarantee the right of 
     passage, including innocent passage, to vessels through the 
     waters commonly referred to as the ``Inside Passage'' off the 
     Pacific Coast of Canada;
       (2) Canada recently required all commercial fishing vessels 
     of the United States to pay 1,500 Canadian dollars to obtain 
     a ``license which authorizes transit'' through the Inside 
     Passage;
       (3) this action was inconsistent with international law, 
     including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the 
     Sea, and, in particular, Article 26 of that Convention, which 
     specifically prohibits such fees, and threatened the safety 
     of United States commercial fishermen who sought to avoid the 
     fee by traveling in less protected waters;
       (4) the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 provides for the 
     reimbursement of vessel owners who are forced to pay a 
     license fee to secure the release of a vessel which has been 
     seized, but does not permit reimbursement of a fee paid by 
     the owner in advance in order to prevent a seizure;
       (5) Canada required that the license fee be paid in person 
     in 2 ports on the Pacific Coast of Canada, or in advance by 
     mail;
       (6) significant expense and delay was incurred by 
     commercial fishing vessels of the United States that had to 
     travel from the point of seizure back to one of those ports 
     in order to pay the license fee required by Canada, and the 
     costs of that travel and delay can not be reimbursed under 
     the Fishermen's Protective Act;
       (7) the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 should be 
     amended to permit vessel owners to be reimbursed for fees 
     required by a foreign government to be paid in advance in 
     order to navigate in the waters of that foreign country if 
     the United States considers that fee to be inconsistent with 
     international law;
       (8) the Secretary of State should seek to recover from 
     Canada any amounts paid by the United States to reimburse 
     vessel owners who paid the transit license fee;
       (9) the United States should review its current policy with 
     respect to anchorage by commercial fishing vessels of Canada 
     in waters of the United States off Alaska, including waters 
     in and near the Dixon Entrance, and should accord such 
     vessels the same treatment that commercial fishing vessels of 
     the United States are accorded for anchorage in the waters of 
     Canada off British Columbia;
       (10) the President should ensure that, consistent with 
     international law, the United States Coast Guard has 
     available adequate resources in the Pacific Northwest and 
     Alaska to provide for the safety of United States citizens, 
     the enforcement of United States law, and to protect the 
     rights of the United States and keep the peace among vessels 
     operating in disputed waters;
       (11) the President should continue to review all agreements 
     between the United States and Canada to identify other 
     actions that may be taken to convince Canada that any 
     reinstatement of the transit license fee would be against 
     Canada's long-term interests, and should immediately 
     implement any actions which the President deems appropriate 
     if Canada reinstates the fee;
       (12) the President should continue to convey to Canada in 
     the strongest terms that the United States will not now, nor 
     at any time in the future, tolerate any action by Canada 
     which would impede or otherwise restrict the right of passage 
     of vessels of the United States in a manner inconsistent with 
     international law; and
       (13) the United States should redouble its efforts to seek 
     expeditious agreement with Canada on appropriate fishery 
     conservation and management measures that can be implemented 
     through the Pacific Salmon Treaty to address issues of mutual 
     concern.

     SEC. 502. AMENDMENT TO THE FISHERMEN'S PROTECTIVE ACT OF 
                   1967.

       (a) The Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1971 
     et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     section:
       ``Sec. 11. (a) In any case on or after June 15, 1994, in 
     which a vessel of the United States exercising its right of 
     passage is charged a fee by the government of a foreign 
     country to engage in transit passage between points in the 
     United States (including a point in the exclusive economic 
     zone or in an area over which jurisdiction is in dispute), 
     and such fee is regarded by the United States as being 
     inconsistent with international law, the Secretary of State 
     shall reimburse the vessel owner for the amount of any such 
     fee paid under protest.
       ``(b) In seeking such reimbursement, the vessel owner shall 
     provide, together with such other information as the 
     Secretary of State may require--
       ``(1) a copy of the receipt for payment;
       ``(2) an affidavit attesting that the owner or the owner's 
     agent paid the fee under protest; and
       ``(3) a copy of the vessel's certificate of documentation.
       ``(c) Requests for reimbursement shall be made to the 
     Secretary of State within 120 days after the date of payment 
     of the fee, or within 90 days after the date of enactment of 
     this section, whichever is later.
       ``(d) Such funds as may be necessary to meet the 
     requirements of this section may be made available from the 
     unobligated balances of previously appropriated funds 
     remaining in the Fishermen's Guaranty Fund established under 
     section 7 and the Fishermen's Protective Fund established 
     under section 9. To the extent that requests for 
     reimbursement under this section exceed such funds, there are 
     authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be needed for 
     reimbursements authorized under subsection (a).
       ``(e) The Secretary of State shall take such action as the

     constructed with Aquatic Resources Trust Fund moneys benefit 
     trailerable recreational vessels.
       (3) More Aquatic Resources Trust Fund moneys should be 
     spent on recreational vessel access facilities that benefit 
     recreational vessels that are nontrailerable vessels.

     funds to States for the development of public facilities for 
     transient nontrailerable vessels.
       (c) Survey.--Within 18 months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, any State may complete and submit to 
     the Secretary of the Interior a survey which identifies--

     facilities for transient nontrailerable vessels; and
       (2) the number and areas of operation in the State of all 
     nontrailerable vessels that operate on navigable waters in 
     the State.
       (d) Plan.--Within 6 months after submitting a survey to the 
     Secretary of the Interior in accordance with subsection (c), 
     a State may develop and submit to the Secretary of the 
     Interior a plan for the construction and renovation of public 
     facilities for transient nontrailerable vessels to meet the 
     needs of nontrailerable vessels operating on navigable waters 
     in the State.
       (e) Grant Program.--
       (1) Matching grants.--The Secretary of the Interior may 
     obligate not less than \1/2\ of the amount made available for 
     each of fiscal years 1998 and 1999 under section 4(b)(1)(C) 
     of the Act of August 9, 1950, as amended by section 
     1402(a)(1) of this title, to make grants to any State to pay 
     not more than 75 percent of the cost of constructing or 
     renovating public facilities for transient nontrailerable 
     vessels.
       (2) Priorities.--
       (A) In general.--In awarding grants under this subsection, 
     the Secretary of the Interior shall give priority to projects 
     that consist of the construction or renovation of public 
     facilities for transient nontrailerable vessels in accordance 
     with a plan submitted by a State submitted under subsection 
     (b).
       (B) Within state.--In awarding grants under this subsection 
     for projects in a particular State, the Secretary of the

         TITLE XXI--MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT ACT OF 1993

     SEC. 2101. SHORT TITLE.

       This Title may be cited as the ``Marine Biotechnology 
     Investment Act of 1993''.

     SEC. 2102. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds and declares the following:
       (1) Throughout human history, the oceans and Great Lakes 
     have been an important source of food and a wealth of other 
     natural products.
       (2) Marine biotechnology holds tremendous promise for 
     expanding the range and increasing the utility of products 
     from the oceans, understanding and treating human illness, 
     and enhancing the quality and quantity of seafood.
       (3) Marine biotechnology offers opportunities to improve 
     the stewardship of marine resources through the development 
     and application of effective methods to restore and protect 
     marine ecosystems, to manage fisheries, to promote the 
     economic growth of coastal economies (particularly those 
     which rely substantially on income from traditional 
     fisheries), and to monitor marine biological and geochemical 
     processes.
       (4) The United States currently is a world leader in marine 
     biotechnology, a position with the potential for contributing 
     to business and manufacturing innovations, creation of new 
     jobs, and stimulation of private sector investment.
       (5) Maintaining national leadership in the face of growing 
     foreign competition will require federal investment in a 
     well-defined and coordinated national program of research, 
     development and private sector partnership, based on the 
     existing responsibilities and expertise of the National 
     Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other federal

     1.1 million tons in 1998 or 90 percent of the 1997 levels 
     exported to a State, whichever is greater, 1 million tons in 
     1999, 800,000 tons in 2000, and 600,000 tons in 2001 and each 
     year thereafter, to landfills or incinerators not covered by 
     host community agreements. Governors of importing States may 
     restrict levels of imports to reflect the level of out-of-
     State municipal solid waste imports referred to in the 
     preceding sentence if--
       ``(A) the Governor of the importing State has notified the 
     Governor of the exporting State and the Administrator 12 
     months prior to enforcement of the importing State's 
     intention to impose the requirements of this section;
       ``(B) the Governor of the importing State has notified the 
     Governor of the exporting State and the Administrator of the 
     violation by the exporting State of this section at least 90 
     days prior to the enforcement of this section; and
       ``(C) the restrictions imposed by the Governor of the 
     importing State are uniform at all facilities within the 
     State receiving municipal solid waste from the exporting 
     State.
       ``(3) Duration.--The authority provided by paragraph (1) or 
     (2) or both shall apply for as long as a State exceeds the 
     levels allowable under paragraph (1) or (2), as the case may 
     be.
       ``(4) Uniformity.--Any restriction imposed by a State under 
     paragraph (1) or (2)--

       ``(1) In general.--The prohibition on the disposal of out-
     of-State municipal solid waste under subsection (a)(1) shall 
     not apply to landfills and incinerators in operation on the 
     date of enactment of this section that received during 
     calendar year 1993 documented shipments of out-of-State 
     municipal solid waste.
       ``(2) Availability of documentation.--The owner or operator 
     of a landfill or incinerator that is exempt under paragraph 
     (1) of this subsection from the requirements of subsection 
     (a) shall provide to the State and affected local government, 
     and make available for inspection by the public in the 
     affected local community, a copy of the host community 
     agreement or other documentation required under paragraph 
     (1). The owner or operator may omit from such copy or other 
     documentation any proprietary information, but shall ensure 
     that at least the following information is apparent: the 
     volume of out-of-State municipal solid waste received, the 
     place of origin of the waste, and the duration of any 
     relevant contract.
       ``(3) Denied or revoked permits.--A landfill or incinerator 
     may not receive for disposal or incineration out-of-State 
     municipal solid waste in the absence of a host community 
     agreement if the operating permit or license for the landfill 
     or incinerator (or renewal thereof) was denied or revoked by 
     the appropriate State agency before the date of enactment of 
     this section unless such permit or license (or renewal) has 
     been reinstated as of such date of enactment.
       ``(4) Waste within bi-state metropolitan statistical 
     areas.--The owner or operator of a landfill or incinerator in 
     a State may receive out-of-State municipal solid waste 
     without obtaining authorization under subsection (a) from the 
     affected local government if the out-of-State waste is 
     generated within, and the landfill or incinerator is located 
     within, the same bi-State level A metropolitan statistical 
     area (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget and 
     as listed by the Office of Management and Budget as of the 
     date of enactment of this section) that contains two

     management plan adopted by an affected local government 
     pursuant to Federal or State law may take into account local 
     and regional needs for solid waste disposal capacity. Any 
     implementation of such plan through the State permitting 
     process may take into account local and regional needs for 
     solid waste disposal capacity only in a manner that is not 
     inconsistent with the provisions of this section. Nothing in 
     this subsection shall be construed to prohibit or preclude 
     any State government or solid waste management district, as 
     defined under State law from requiring any affected

     waste facility.
       ``(g) Cost Recovery Surcharge.--
       ``(1) Authority.--Both of the States directly affected by 
     the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Oregon Waste 
     Systems, Inc. v. Department of Environmental Quality, 114 S. 
     Ct. 1345 (1994) may impose and collect a cost recovery 
     surcharge on the combustion or disposal in a landfill or 
     incinerator of out-of-State municipal solid waste in such 
     State.
       ``(2) Limitation.--During the period beginning on the date 
     of enactment of this section and ending on December 31, 1996, 
     no such State may impose or collect a cost recovery surcharge 
     from a facility on any out-of-State municipal solid waste 
     that meets both of the following conditions:
       ``(A) The waste is being received at the facility under one 
     or more contracts entered into before the date of enactment 
     of this section.
       ``(B) The amount of waste being received in a calendar year 
     under the contract or contracts does not exceed the amount of 
     waste received at the facility during calendar year 1993.
       ``(3) Amount of surcharge.--The amount of the cost recovery 
     surcharge may be no greater than the amount necessary to 
     recover those costs determined in conformance with paragraph 
     (5) and in no event may exceed $2 per ton of waste.
       ``(4) Use of surcharge collected.--All cost recovery 
     surcharges collected by a State covered by this subsection 
     shall be used to fund those solid waste management programs 
     administered by the State or its political subdivisions that 
     incur costs for which the surcharge is collected.
       ``(5) Conditions.--(A) Subject to subparagraphs (B) and 
     (C), a State covered by this subsection may impose and 
     collect a cost recovery surcharge on the combustion or 
     disposal within the State of out-of-State municipal solid 
     waste if--
       ``(i) the State demonstrates a cost to the State arising 
     from the combustion or disposal within the State of a volume 
     of municipal solid waste from a source outside the State;
       ``(ii) the surcharge is based on those costs to the State 
     demonstrated under subparagraph (A) that, if not paid for 
     through the surcharge, would otherwise have to be paid or 
     subsidized by the State; and
       ``(iii) the surcharge is compensatory and is not 
     discriminatory.
       ``(B) In no event shall a cost recovery surcharge be 
     imposed by a State to the extent that the cost for which 
     recovery is sought is otherwise recovered by any other fee or 
     tax assessed against the generation, transportation, 
     treatment, combustion, or disposal of solid waste.
       ``(C) The grant of a subsidy by a State with respect to 
     entities disposing of waste generated within the State does 
     not constitute discrimination for purposes of subparagraph 
     (A)(iii).
       ``(6) Burden of proof.--In any proceeding in which a State 
     invokes this subsection to justify a cost recovery surcharge 
     on the combustion or disposal within the State of out-of-
     State municipal solid waste, the State shall bear the burden 
     of establishing that the cost recovery surcharge satisfies 
     the conditions set forth in paragraph (5).
       ``(h) Implementation and Enforcement.--Any State may adopt 
     such laws and regulations, not inconsistent with this 
     section, as are necessary to implement and enforce this 
     section, including provisions for penalties.
       ``(i) Construction and Demolition Waste.--
       ``(1) Limit.--Any State may establish, pursuant to this 
     paragraph, a limit on the amount of out-of-State construction 
     and demolition waste for disposal at landfills in the State. 
     A limit under this paragraph may be imposed consistent with 
     each of the following:
       ``(A) By January 1, 1996, each State seeking to limit under 
     this paragraph the receipt of out-of-State construction and 
     demolition waste shall establish and implement a mechanism 
     for measuring the amount of construction and demolition waste 
     generated within the State, disposed of within the State, 
     imported into the State and exported for disposal.
       ``(B) By March 1, 1998, each State seeking to limit under 
     this paragraph the receipt of construction and demolition 
     waste shall establish the amount of out-of-State construction 
     and demolition waste received during calendar year 1996 and 
     1997 and report the tonnage received to the Governor of each 
     exporting State.
       ``(2) Amount.--For each calendar year beginning after 
     January 1, 1998, the amount of out-of-State construction and 
     demolition waste received at any facility within an importing 
     State may be limited to the average of the amounts received 
     in calendar years 1996 and 1997.
       ``(3) Definition.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
     term `construction and demolition waste' means debris 
     resulting from construction, remodeling, repair, or 
     demolition of structures other than debris that is not 
     otherwise commingled with other municipal solid waste and has 
     been determined by the generator, to be contaminated. For 
     purposes of determining whether any such debris is 
     contaminated, the generator shall conduct representative 
     sampling and analysis of such debris, the results of which 
     shall be submitted to the affected local government for 
     recordkeeping purposes only, unless not required by the 
     affected local government. Any such debris that has been 
     determined to be contaminated shall be disposed of in a 
     landfill that meets, at a minimum, the requirements of this 
     subtitle.
       ``(j) Savings Clause.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     interpreted or construed to have any effect on State law 
     relating to contracts.

       ``(II) if a Governor fails to make a selection under 
     subclause (I), and publish a notice regarding the selection, 
     within 90 days after the date of enactment of this section, 
     the elected officials of the city, town, township, borough, 
     county, parish, or other public body created pursuant to 
     State law with primary jurisdiction over the land or the use 
     of land on which the facility is located or is proposed to be 
     located.

     The Governor shall publish a notice regarding the selection 
     described in clause (ii).
       ``(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), for purposes of 
     host community agreements entered into before the date of 
     enactment of this section (or before the date of publication

       ``(C) Two or more Governors of adjoining States may use the 
     authority provided in section 1005(b) to enter into an 
     agreement under which contiguous units of local government 
     located in each of the adjoining States may act jointly as 
     the affected local government for purposes of providing

     or incineration in another.
       ``(2) Host community agreement.--The term `host community 
     agreement' means a written, legally binding document or 
     documents executed by duly authorized officials of the 
     affected local government that specifically authorizes a 
     landfill or incinerator to receive municipal solid waste 
     generated out-of-State, but does not include any agreement to 
     pay host community fees for receipt of waste unless 
     additional express authorization to receive out-of-State 
     municipal solid waste is also included.
       ``(3) Municipal solid waste.--The term `municipal solid 
     waste' means refuse (and refuse-derived fuel) generated by 
     the general public, from a residential source, or from a 
     commercial, institutional, or industrial source (or any 
     combination thereof) to the extent such waste is essentially 
     the same as waste normally generated by households or was 
     collected and disposed of with other municipal solid waste as 
     part of normal municipal solid waste collection services, and 
     regardless of when generated, would be considered 
     conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste under 
     section 3001(d), such as paper, food, wood, yard wastes, 
     plastics, leather, rubber, appliances, or other combustible 
     or noncombustible materials such as metal or glass (or any 
     combination thereof). The term `municipal solid waste' does 
     not include any of the following:

     debris, resulting from a response action taken under section 
     104 or 106 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
     Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9604 or 
     9606) or a corrective action taken under this Act.

     source of the waste, from waste otherwise destined for 
     disposal or that have been managed separately from waste 
     destined for disposal.

       ``(i) generated by an industrial facility; and
       ``(ii) transported for the purpose of treatment, storage, 
     or disposal to a facility that is owned or operated by the 
     generator of the waste, or is located on property owned by 
     the generator of the waste, or is located on property owned 
     by a company with which the generator is affiliated.
       ``(E) Any solid waste generated incident to the provision 
     of service in interstate, intrastate, foreign, or overseas 
     air transportation.

     of-State municipal solid waste' means, with respect to any 
     State, municipal solid waste generated outside of the State. 
     Unless the President determines it is not consistent with the 
     North American Free Trade Agreement and the General Agreement 
     on Tariffs and Trade, the term shall include municipal solid 
     waste generated outside of the United States.
       ``(5) Specifically authorized.--The term `specifically 
     authorizes' refers to an explicit authorization, contained in 
     a host community agreement or permit, to import waste from 
     outside the State. Such authorization may include a reference 
     to a fixed radius surrounding the landfill or incinerator 
     that includes an area outside the State or a reference to 
     `any place of origin', reference to specific places outside 
     the State, or use of such phrases as `regardless of origin' 
     or `outside the State'. The language for such authorization 
     may vary as long as it clearly and affirmatively states the 
     approval or consent of the affected local government or State 
     for receipt of municipal solid waste from sources or 
     locations outside the State from which the owner or operator 
     of a landfill or incinerator proposes to import it.''.

     subsection (a) only if the State or qualified political 
     subdivision develops and implements a competitive designation 
     process, with respect to each waste management facility or 
     each facility for recyclable materials. The process shall--
       ``(A) ensure that the designation process is based on, or 
     is part of, a municipal solid waste management plan that is 
     adopted by the State or qualified political subdivision and

     selection of the facilities, which shall not discriminate 
     unfairly against any particular waste management facility or 
     any method of management, transportation or disposal, and 
     shall not establish qualifications for selection that can 
     only be met by public bodies;

       ``(C) Appeal.--Within 120 days after publication of the 
     final certification under subparagraph (B), any interested 
     person may file an appeal of the final certification in the 
     United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Federal 
     judicial district of the State, for a judicial determination 
     that the certified laws and regulations do not satisfy the 
     requirements of paragraph (1) or that the certification 
     process did not satisfy the procedural requirements of 
     subparagraph (B). The appeal shall set forth the specific 
     reasons for the appeal of the final certification.

     generator of municipal solid waste affected by this section, 
     the State or political subdivision may authorize the 
     diversion of all or a portion of the solid wastes generated 
     by the generator making such request to a solid waste 
     facility, other than the facility or facilities originally 
     designated by the political subdivision, where the purpose of 
     such request is to provide a higher level of protection for 
     human health and the environment and reduce potential future 
     liability under Federal or State law of such generator for 
     the management of such wastes. Requests shall include 
     information on the environmental suitability of the proposed 
     alternative treatment or disposal facility and method, 
     compared to that of the designated facility and method. In

     the designated and alternative disposal facility or 
     facilities to indemnify the generator against any cause of 
     action under State or Federal environmental statutes and 
     against any cause of action for nuisance, personal injury, or 
     property loss under any State law.

                  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 
disposal of the unappropriated rooms in that part of the Capitol 
assigned to the use of the House, until further order.
  4. He shall sign all acts, addresses, joint resolutions, writs, 
warrants, and subpoenas of, or issued by order of, the House and decide 
all questions of order, subject to an appeal by any Member, on which 
appeal no Member shall speak more than once, unless by permission of the 
House. The Speaker is authorized to sign enrolled bills whether or not 
the House is in session.
  5. (a) He shall rise to put a question, but may state it sitting; and 
shall put questions in this form, to wit: ``As many as are in favor (as 
the question may be), say `Aye'.''; and after the affirmative voice is 
expressed, ``As many as are opposed, say `No'.''; if he doubts, or a 
division is called for, the House shall divide; those in the affirmative 
of the question shall first rise from their seats, and then those in the 
negative. If any Member requests a recorded vote and that request is 
supported by at least one-fifth of a quorum, such vote shall be taken by 
electronic device, unless the Speaker in his discretion orders clerks to 
tell the names of those voting on each side of the question, and such 
names shall be recorded by electronic device or by clerks, as the case 
may be, and shall be entered in the Journal together with the names of 
those not voting. Members shall have not less than fifteen minutes to be 
counted from the ordering of the recorded vote or the ordering of clerks 
to tell the vote.
  (b)(1) On any legislative day whenever a recorded vote is ordered or 
the yeas and nays are ordered, or a vote is objected to under clause 4 
of rule XV on any of the following questions, the Speaker may, in his 
discretion, postpone further proceedings on each such question to a 
designated time or place in the legislative schedule on that legislative 
day in the case of the question of agreeing to the Speaker's approval of 
the Journal, or within two legislative days, in the case of the other 
questions listed herein:
    (A) the question of passing bills;
    (B) the question of adopting resolutions;
    (C) the question of ordering the previous question on privileged 
  resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules;
    (D) the question of agreeing to conference reports;
    (E) the question of agreeing to motions to suspend the rules; and
    (F) the question of agreeing to motions to instruct conferees as 
  provided in clause 1(c) of rule XXVIII: Provided, however, That said 
  question shall not be put if the conference report on that measure has 
  been filed in the House.
  (2) At the time designated by the Speaker for further consideration of 
proceedings postponed under subparagraph (1), the Speaker shall put each 
question on which further proceedings were postponed, in the order in 
which that question was considered.
  (3) At any time after the vote has been taken on the first question on 
which the Speaker has postponed further proceedings under this 
paragraph, the Speaker may, in his discretion, reduce to not less than 
five minutes the period of time within which a roll call vote by 
electronic device on the question may be taken without any intervening 
business on any or all of the additional questions on which the Speaker 
has postponed further proceedings under this paragraph.
  (4) If the House adjourns before all of the questions on which further 
proceedings were postponed under this paragraph have been put and 
determined, then, on the next following legislative day the unfinished 
business shall be the disposition of all such questions, previously 
undisposed of, in the order in which the questions were considered.
  6. He shall not be required to vote in ordinary legislative 
proceedings, ex- cept where his vote would be decisive, or where the 
House is engaged in voting by ballot; and in cases of a tie vote the 
question shall be lost.

the Chair, but such substitution shall not extend beyond three 
legislative days, except that with the permission of the House he may 
name a Member to act as Speaker pro tempore only to sign enrolled bills 
and joint resolutions for a period of time specified in the designation, 
notwithstanding any other provision of this clause: Provided, however, 
That in case of his illness, he may make such appointment for a period 
not exceeding ten days, with the approval of the House at the time the 
same is made; and in his absence and omission to make such appointment, 
the House shall proceed to elect a Speaker pro tempore to act during his 
absence.

contingent fund of the House on vouchers solely approved and signed by 
the Speaker. However, expenses may not be paid from the contingent fund 
for travel of a Member after the date of the general election of Members 
in which the Member has not been elected to the succeeding Congress, or 
in the case of a Member who is not a candidate in such general election,

die of the last regular session of the Congress.

and control for closed circuit viewing of floor proceedings of the House 
of Representatives in the offices of all Members and committees and in 
such other places in the Capitol and the House Office Buildings as he 
deems appropriate. Such system may include other telecommunications

such legislative entity as he deems appropriate.

be known as the Office of the Historian of the House of Representatives.

be known as the Office of General Counsel for the purpose of providing

the direction of the Speaker, who shall consult with a Bipartisan Legal 
Advisory Group, which shall include the majority and minority 
leaderships. The Speaker shall appoint and set the annual rate of pay 
for employees of the Office of General Counsel.

opinion with respect to the general propriety of any current or proposed 
conduct of such Member, officer, or employee and, with appropriate 
deletions to assure the privacy of the individual concerned, to publish 
such opinion for the guidance of other Members, officers, and employees 
of the House;

[[Page 2519]]

and (E) to give consideration to the request of any Member, officer, or 
employee of the House for a written waiver in exceptional circumstances 
with respect to clause 4 of rule XLIII.
  (2)(A) No resolution, report, recommendation, or advisory opinion 
relating to the official conduct of a Member, officer, or employee of 
the House shall be made by the Committee on Standards of Official 
Conduct, and no investigation of such conduct shall be undertaken by 
such committee, unless approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of 
the members of the committee.
  (B) Except in the case of an investigation undertaken by the committee 
on its own initiative, the committee may undertake an investigation 
relating to the official conduct of an individual Member, officer, or 
employee of the House of Representatives only--
    (i) upon receipt of a complaint, in writing and under oath, made by 
  or submitted to a Member of the House and transmitted to the committee 
  by such Member, or
    (ii) upon receipt of a complaint, in writing and under oath, 
  directly from an individual not a Member of the House if the committee 
  finds that such complaint has been submitted by such individual to not 
  less than three Members of the House who have refused, in writing, to 
  transmit such complaint to the committee.
  (C) No investigation shall be undertaken by the committee of any 
alleged violation of a law, rule, regulation, or standard of conduct not 
in effect at the time of the alleged violation; nor shall any 
investigation be undertaken by the committee of any alleged violation 
which occurred before the third previous Congress unless the committee 
determines that the alleged violation is directly related to any alleged 
violation which occurred in a more recent Congress.
  (D) A member of the committee shall be ineligible to participate, as a 
member of the committee, in any committee proceeding relating to his or 
her official conduct. In any case in which a member of the committee is 
ineligible to act as a member of the committee under the preceding 
sentence, the Speaker of the House shall designate a Member of the House 
from the same political party as the ineligible member of the committee 
to act as a member of the committee in any committee proceeding relating 
to the official conduct of such ineligible member.
  (E) A member of the committee may disqualify himself from 
participating in any investigation of the conduct of a Member, officer, 
or employee of the House upon the submission in writing and under oath 
of an affidavit of disqualification stating that he cannot render an 
impartial and unbiased decision in the case in which he seeks to 
disqualify himself. If the committee approves and accepts such affidavit 
of disqualification, the chairman shall so notify the Speaker and 
request the Speaker to designate a Member of the House from the same 
political party as the disqualifying member of the committee to act as a 
member of the committee in any committee proceeding relating to such 
investigation.
  (F) No information or testimony received, or the contents of a 
complaint or the fact of its filing, shall be publicly disclosed by any 
committee or staff member unless specifically authorized in each 
instance by a vote of the full committee.
  (f)(1) Each standing committee of the House shall, in its 
consideration of all bills and joint resolutions of a public character 
within its jurisdiction, insure that appropriations for continuing 
programs and activities of the Federal Government and the District of 
Columbia government will be made annually to the maximum extent feasible 
and consistent with the nature, requirements, and objectives of the 
programs and activities involved. For the purposes of this paragraph a 
Government agency includes the organizational units of government listed 
in clause 7(c) of rule XIII.
  (2) Each standing committee of the House shall review, from time to 
time, each continuing program within its jurisdiction for which 
appropriations are not made annually in order to ascertain whether such 
program could be modified so that appropriations therefor would be made 
annually.
  (g) Each standing committee of the House shall, on or before February 
25 of each year, submit to the Committee on the Budget (1) its views and 
estimates with respect to all matters to be set forth in the concurrent 
resolution on the budget for the ensuing fiscal year which are within 
its jurisdiction or functions, and (2) an estimate of the total amounts 
of new budget authority, and budget outlays resulting therefrom, to be 
provided or authorized in all bills and resolutions within its 
jurisdiction which it intends to be effective during that fiscal year. 
The views and estimates submitted by the Committee on Ways and Means 
under the preceding sentence shall include a specific recommendation, 
made after holding public hearings, as to the appropriate level of the 
public debt which should be set forth in the concurrent resolution on 
the budget referred to in such sentence and serve as the basis for an 
increase or decrease in the statutory limit on such debt under the 
procedures provided by rule XLIX.
  (h) As soon as practicable after a concurrent resolution on the budget 
for any fiscal year is agreed to, each standing committee of the House 
(after consulting with the appropriate committee or committees of the 
Senate) shall subdivide any allocations made to it in the joint 
explanatory statement accompanying the conference report on such 
resolution, and promptly report such subdivisions to the House, in the 
manner provided by section 302 or section 602 (in the case of fiscal 
years 1991 through 1995) of the Congressional Budget Act of l974.
  (i) Each standing committee of the House which is directed in a 
concurrent resolution on the budget to determine and recommend changes 
in laws, bills, or resolutions under the reconciliation process shall 
promptly make such determination and recommendations, and report a 
reconciliation bill or resolution (or both) to the House or submit such 
recommendations to the Committee on the Budget, in accordance with the 
Congressional Budget Act of l974.

      Referral of Bills, Resolutions, and Other Matters to Committees

  5. (a) Each bill, resolution, or other matter which relates to a 
subject listed under any standing committee named in clause 1 shall be 
referred by the Speaker in accordance with the provisions of this 
clause.
  (b) Every referral of any matter under paragraph (a) shall be made in 
such manner as to assure to the maximum extent feasible that each 
committee which has jurisdiction under clause 1 over the subject matter 
of any provision thereof will have responsibility for considering such 
provision and reporting to the House with respect thereto. Any 
precedents, rulings, and procedures in effect prior to the Ninety-Fourth 
Congress shall be applied with respect to referrals under this clause 
only to the extent that they will contribute to the achievement of the 
objectives of this clause.
  (c) In carrying out paragraphs (a) and (b) with respect to any matter, 
the Speaker may refer the matter simultaneously to two or more 
committees for concurrent consideration or for consideration in sequence 
(subject to appropriate time limitations in the case of any committee), 
or divide the matter into two or more parts (reflecting different 
subjects and jurisdictions) and refer each such part to a different 
committee, or refer the matter to a special ad hoc committee appointed 
by the Speaker with the approval of the House (from the members of the 
committees having legislative jurisdiction) for the specific purpose of 
considering that matter and reporting to the House thereon, or make such 
other provision as may be considered appropriate.

Election and Membership of Committees; Chairman; Vacancies; Select and 
  Conference Committees
  6. (a)(1) The standing committees specified in clause 1 shall be 
elected by the House within the seventh calendar day beginning after the 
commencement of each Congress, from nominations submitted by the 
respective party caucuses. It shall always be in order to consider 
resolutions recommended by the respective party caucuses to change the 
composition of standing committees.
  (2) One-half of the members of the Committee on Standards of Official 
Conduct shall be from the majority party and one-half shall be from the 
minority party. No Member shall serve

[[Page 2520]]

as a member of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct during 
more than 3 Congresses in any period of 5 successive Congresses 
(disregarding for this purpose any 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.

                               In General

  1. (a)(1) The Rules of the House are the rules of its committees and 
subcommittees so far as applicable, except that a motion to recess from

a bill or resolution, if printed copies are available, are nondebatable 
motions of high privilege in committees and subcommittees.
  (2) Each subcommittee of a committee is a part of that committee, and 
is subject to the authority and direction of that committee and to its 
rules so far as applicable.
  (b) Each committee is authorized at any time to conduct such 
investigations and studies as it may consider necessary or appropriate 
in the exercise of its responsibilities under rule X, and (subject to 
the adoption of expense resolutions as required by clause 5) to incur 
expenses (including travel expenses) in connection therewith.
  (c) Each committee is authorized to have printed and bound testimony 
and other data presented at hearings held by the committee. All costs of

  (d) Each committee shall submit to the House, not later than January 2 
of each odd-numbered year, a report on the activities of that committee 
under this rule and rule X during the Congress ending at noon on January

                              Committee Rules

Adoption of written rules
  2. (a) Each standing committee of the House shall adopt written 
rules governing its procedure. Such rules--
    (1) shall be adopted in a meeting which is open to the public unless 
  the committee, in open session and with a quorum present, determined 
  by roll call vote that all or part of the meeting on that day is to be 
  closed to the public;
    (2) shall be not inconsistent with the Rules of the House or with 
  those provisions of law having the force and effect of Rules of the 
  House; and
    (3) shall in any event incorporate all of the succeeding provisions 
  of this clause to the extent applicable.

Each committee's rules specifying its regular meeting days, and any 
other rules of a committee which are in addition to the provisions of 
this clause, shall be published in the Congressional Record not later 
than thirty days after the committee is elected in each odd-numbered 
year. Each select or joint committee shall comply with the provisions of 
this paragraph unless specifically prohibited by law.

Regular meeting days
  (b) Each standing committee of the House shall adopt regular 
meeting days, which shall be not less frequent than monthly, for the 
conduct of its business. Each such committee shall meet, for the 
consideration of any bill or resolution pending before the committee or 
for the transaction of other committee business, on all regular meeting 
days fixed by the committee, unless otherwise provided by written rule 
adopted by the committee.

Additional and special meetings
  (c)(1) The Chairman of each standing committee may call and 
convene, as he or she considers necessary, additional meetings of the 
committee for the consideration of any bill or resolution pending before 
the committee or for the conduct of other committee business. The 
committee shall meet for such purpose pursuant to that call of the 
chairman.
  (2) If at least three members of any standing committee desire that a 
special meeting of the committee be called by the chairman, those 
members may file in the offices of the committee their written request 
to the chairman for that special meeting. Such request shall specify the 
measure or matter to be considered. Immediately upon the filing of the 
request, the clerk of the committee shall notify the chairman of the 
filing of the request. If, within three calendar days after the filing 
of the request, the chairman does not call the requested special 
meeting, to be held within seven calendar days after the filing of the 
request, a majority of the members of the committee may file in the 
offices of the committee their written notice that a special meeting of 
the committee will be held, specifying the date and hour of, and the 
measure or matter to be considered at, that special meeting. The 
committee shall meet on that date and hour. Immediately upon the filing 
of the notice, the clerk of the committee shall notify all members of 
the committee that such special meeting will be held and inform them of 
its date and hour and the measure or matter to be considered; and only 
the measure or matter specified in that notice may be considered at that 
special meeting.

[[Page 2521]]

Vice chairman or ranking majority 
    member to preside in absence of 
    chairman
  (d) The member of the majority party on any standing committee 
or subcommittee thereof ranking immediately after the chairman shall be 
vice chairman of the committee or subcommittee, as the case may be, and 
shall preside at any meeting during the temporary absence of the 
chairman. If the chairman and vice chairman of the committee or 
subcommittee are not present at any meeting of the committee or 
subcommittee, the ranking member of the majority party who is present 
shall preside at that meeting.

Committee records
  (e)(1) Each committee shall keep a complete record of all 
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 
Standards of Official Conduct respecting the conduct of any Member, 
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.
  (3) Each committee shall include in its rules standards for 
availability of records of the committee delivered to the Archivist of 
the United States under rule XXXVI. Such standards shall specify 
procedures for orders of the committee under clause 3(b)(3) and clause 
4(b) of rule XXXVI, including a requirement that nonavailability of a 
record for a period longer than the period otherwise applicable under 
that rule shall be approved by vote of the committee.

Proxies
  (f) No vote by any member of any committee or subcommittee with 
respect to any measure or matter may be cast by proxy unless such 
committee, by written rule adopted by the committee, permits voting by 
proxy and requires that the proxy authorization shall be in writing, 
shall assert that the member is absent on official business or is 
otherwise unable to be present at the meeting of the committee, shall 
designate the person who is to execute the proxy authorization, and 
shall be limited to a specific measure or matter and any amendments or 
motions pertaining thereto; except that a member may authorize a general 
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
  (B) may vote to close the hearing, as provided in clause 2(k)(5) of 
rule XI.

No Member may be excluded from nonparticipatory attendance at any 
hearing of any committee or subcommittee, with the exception of the 
Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, unless the House of 
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.

Quorum for taking testimony and 
    certain other action
  (h)(1) Each committee may fix the number of its members to 
constitute a quorum for taking testimony and receiving evidence which 
shall be not less than two.
  (2) Each committee (except the Committee on Appropriations, the 
Committee on the Budget, and the Committee on Ways and Means) may fix 
the number of its members to constitute a quorum for taking any action 
other than the reporting of a measure or recommendation which shall be 
not less than one-third of the members.

Prohibition against committee meetings 
    during joint sessions and joint 
    meetings
  (i) No committee of the House may sit during a joint session of 
the House

[[Page 2522]]

and Senate or during a recess when a joint meeting of the House and 
Senate is in progress.

Calling and interrogation of witnesses
  (j)(1) Whenever any hearing is conducted by any committee upon 
any measure or matter, the minority party members on the committee shall 
be entitled, upon request to the chairman by a majority of them before 
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.
  (2) Each committee shall apply the five-minute rule in the 
interrogation of witnesses in any hearing until such time as each member 
of the committee who so desires has had an opportunity to question each 
witness.

Investigative hearing procedures
  (k)(1) The chairman at an investigative hearing shall announce 
in an opening statement the subject of the investigation.
  (2) A copy of the committee rules and this clause shall be made 
available to each witness.
  (3) Witnesses at investigative hearings may be accompanied by their 
own counsel for the purpose of advising them concerning their 
constitutional rights.
  (4) The chairman may punish breaches of order and decorum, and of 
professional ethics on the part of counsel, by censure and exclusion 
from the hearings; and the committee may cite the offender to the House 
for contempt.
  (5) Whenever it is asserted that the evidence or testimony at an 
investigatory hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any 
person,
    (A) such testimony or evidence shall be presented in executive 
  session, notwithstanding the provisions of clause 2(g)(2) of this 
  rule, if by a majority of those present, there being in attendance the 
  requisite number required under the rules of the committee to be 
  present for the purpose of taking testimony, the committee determines 
  that such evidence or testimony may tend to defame, degrade, or 
  incriminate any person; and
    (B) the committee shall proceed to receive such testimony in open 
  session only if a majority of the members of the committee, a majority 
  being present, determine that such evidence or testimony will not tend 
  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 
from such person to subpoena additional witnesses.
  (6) Except as provided in subparagraph (5), the chairman shall receive 
and the committee shall dispose of requests to subpoena additional 
witnesses.
  (7) No evidence or testimony taken in executive session may be 
released or used in public sessions without the consent of the 
committee.
  (8) In the discretion of the committee, witnesses may submit brief and 
pertinent sworn statements in writing for inclusion in the record. The 
committee is the sole judge of the pertinency of testimony and evidence 
adduced at its hearing.
  (9) A witness may obtain a transcript copy of his testimony given at a 
public session or, if given at an executive session, when authorized by 
the committee.

Committee procedures for reporting bills 
    and resolutions
  (l)(1)(A) It shall be the duty of the chairman of each committee 
to report or cause to be reported promptly to the House any measure 
approved by the committee and to take or cause to be taken necessary 
steps to bring a matter to a vote.
  (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 
reporting of that measure. Upon the filing of any such request, the 
clerk of the committee shall transmit immediately to the chairman of the 
committee notice of the filing of that request. This subdivision does 
not apply to the reporting of a regular appropriation bill by the 
Committee on Appropriations prior to compliance with subdivision (C) and 
does not apply to a report of the Committee on Rules with respect to the 
rules, joint rules, or order of business of the House or to the 
reporting of a resolution of inquiry addressed to the head of an 
executive department.
  (2)(A) No measure or recommendation shall be reported from any 
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 
made in committee.
  (B) With respect to each roll call vote on a motion to report any bill 
or resolution of a public character, the total number of votes cast for, 
and the total number of votes cast against, the reporting of such bill 
or resolution shall be included in the committee report.
  (3) The report of any committee on a measure which has been approved 
by the committee shall include (A) the oversight findings and 
recommendations required pursuant to clause 2(b)(1) of rule X separately 
set out and clearly identified; (B) the statement required by section 
308(a)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of l974, separately set out 
and clearly identified, if the measure provides new budget authority 
(other than continuing appropriations), new spending authority described 
in section 401(c)(2) of such Act, new credit authority, or an increase 
or decrease in revenues or tax expenditures; (C) the estimate and 
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office 
under section 403 of such Act, separately set out and clearly 
identified, whenever the Director (if timely submitted prior to the 
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 
resolution into law may have an inflationary impact on prices and costs 
in the operation of the national economy.
  (5) If, at the time of approval of any measure or matter by any 
committee, other than the Committee on Rules, any member of the 
committee gives notice of intention to file supplemental, minority, or 
additional views, that member shall be entitled to not less than three 
calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) in 
which to file such views, in writing and signed by that member, with the 
clerk of the committee. All such views so filed by one or more members 
of the committee shall be included within, and shall be a part of, the 
report filed by the committee with respect to that measure or matter. 
The report of the committee upon that measure or matter shall be printed 
in a single volume which--
    (A) shall include all supplemental, minority, or additional views 
  which have been submitted by the time of the filing of the report, and
    (B) shall bear upon its cover a recital that any such supplemental, 
  minority, or additional views (and any material submitted under 
  subdivisions (C) and (D) of subparagraph (3)) are included as part of 
  the report.

This subparagraph does not preclude--
    (i) the immediate filing or printing of a committee print unless 
  timely request for the opportunity to file supplemental, minority, or 
  additional views has been made as provided by this subparagraph; or
    (ii) the filing by any such committee of any supplemental report 
  upon

[[Page 2523]]

  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

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 
distribution to the Members of the House prior to the consideration of

corporation, or instrumentality of the Federal Government or the 
government of the District of Columbia.

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.

                   Broadcasting of Committee Hearings

  3. (a) It is the purpose of this clause to provide a means, in 
conformity with acceptable standards of dignity, propriety, and decorum, 
by which committee hearings, or committee meetings, which are open to

still photography, or by any of such methods of coverage--
    (1) for the education, enlightenment, and information of the general 
  public, on the basis of accurate and impartial news coverage, 
  regarding the operations, procedures, and practices of the House as a 
  legislative and representative body and regarding the measures, public 
  issues, and other matters before the House and its committees, the 
  consideration thereof, and the action taken thereon; and
    (2) for the development of the perspective and understanding of the

[[Page 2524]]

  general public with respect to the role and function of the House 
  under the Constitution of the United States as an organ of the Federal 
  Government.
  (b) In addition, it is the intent of this clause that radio and 
television tapes and television film of any coverage under this clause 
shall not be used, or made available for use, as partisan political 
campaign material to promote or oppose the candidacy of any person for 
elective public office.
  (c) It is, further, the intent of this clause that the general conduct 
of each meeting (whether of a hearing or otherwise) covered, under 
authority of this clause, by television broadcast, radio broadcast, and 
still photography, or by any of such methods of coverage, and the 
personal behavior of the committee members and staff, other Government 
officials and personnel, witnesses, television, radio, and press media 
personnel, and the general public at the hearing or other meeting shall 
be in strict conformity with and observance of the acceptable standards 
of dignity, propriety, courtesy, and decorum traditionally observed by 
the House in its operations and shall not be such as to--
    (1) distort the objects and purposes of the hearing or other meeting 
  or the activities of committee members in connection with that hearing 
  or meeting or in connection with the general work of the committee or 
  of the House; or
    (2) cast discredit or dishonor on the House, the committee, or any 
  Member or bring the House, the committee, or any Member into 
  disrepute.
  (d) The coverage of committee hearings and meetings by television 
broadcast, radio broadcast, or still photography is a privilege made 
available by the House and shall be permitted and conducted only in 
strict conformity with the purposes, provisions, and requirements of 
this clause.
  (e) Whenever any hearing or meeting conducted by any committee of the 
House is open to the public, that committee may permit, by majority vote 
of the committee, that hearing or meeting to be covered, in whole or in 
part, by television broadcast, radio broadcast, and still photography, 
or by any of such methods of coverage, but only under such written rules 
as the committee may adopt in accordance with the purposes, provisions, 
and requirements of this clause: Provided, however, Each committee or 
subcommittee chairman shall determine, in his discretion, the number of 
television and still cameras permitted in a hearing or meeting room.
  (f) The written rules which may be adopted by a committee under 
paragraph (e) of this clause shall contain provisions to the following 
effect:

  to be presented to the public as live coverage, that coverage shall be 
  conducted and presented without commercial sponsorship.
    (2) No witness served with a subpoena by the committee shall be 
  required against his or her will to be photographed at any hearing or 
  to give evidence or testimony while the broadcasting of that hearing, 
  by radio or television, is being conducted. At the request of any such 
  witness who does not wish to be subjected to radio, television, or 
  still photography coverage, all lenses shall be covered and all 
  microphones used for coverage turned off. This subparagraph is 
  supplementary to clause 2(k)(5) of this rule, relating to the 
  protection of the rights of witnesses.
    (3) The allocation among the television media of the positions of 
  the number of television cameras permitted by a committee or 
  subcommittee chairman in a hearing or meeting room shall be in 
  accordance with fair and equitable procedures devised by the Executive 
  Committee of the Radio and Television Correspondents' Galleries.
    (4) Television cameras shall be placed so as not to obstruct in any 
  way the space between any witness giving evidence or testimony and any 
  member of the committee or the visibility of that witness and that

  not be placed in positions which obstruct unnecessarily the coverage 
  of the hearing or meeting by the other media.

  except that the television media may install additional lighting in 
  the hearing or meeting room, without cost to the Government, in order 
  to raise the ambient lighting level in the hearing or meeting room to 
  the lowest level necessary to provide adequate television coverage of 
  the hearing or meeting at the then current state of the art of 
  television coverage.
    (8) In the allocation of the number of still photographers permitted 
  by a committee or subcommittee chairman in a hearing or meeting room,

  Photos and United Press International Newspictures. If requests are 
  made by more of the media than will be permitted by a committee or 
  subcommittee chairman for coverage of the hearing or meeting by still 
  photography, that coverage shall be made on the basis of a fair and 
  equitable pool arrangement devised by the Standing Committee of Press 
  Photographers.
    (9) Photographers shall not position themselves, at any time during 
  the course of the hearing or meeting, between the witness table and 
  the members of the committee.

                    Privileged Reports and Amendments

  4. (a) The following committees shall have leave to report at any time 
on the matters herein stated, namely: The Committee on Appropriations--
on general appropriation bills and on joint resolutions continuing 
appropriations for a fiscal year if reported after September 15 
preceding the beginning of such fiscal year; the Committee on the 
Budget--on the matters required to be reported by such committee under 
Titles III and IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974; the Committee 
on House Administration--on enrolled bills, contested elections, and all 
matters referred to it of printing for the use of the House or the two 
Houses, and on all matters of expenditure of the contingent fund of the 
House, and on all matters relating to preservation and availability of 
noncurrent records of the House under rule XXXVI; the Committee on 
Rules--on rules, joint rules, and the order of business; and the 
Committee on Standards of Official Conduct--on resolutions recommending 
action by the House of Representatives with respect to an individual 
Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives as a result 
of any investigation by the committee relating to the official conduct 
of such Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives.
  (b) It shall always be in order to call up for consideration a report 
from the Committee on Rules on a rule, joint rule, or the order of 
business (except it shall not be called up for consideration on the same 
day it is presented to the House, unless so determined by a vote of not 
less than two-thirds of the Members voting, but this provision shall not 
apply during the last three days of the session), and, pending the 
consideration thereof, the Speaker may entertain one motion that the 
House adjourn; but after the result is announced the Speaker shall not 
entertain any other dilatory motion until the report shall have been 
fully disposed of. The Committee on Rules shall not report

[[Page 2525]]

any rule or order which provides that business under clause 7 of rule 
XXIV shall be set aside by a vote of less than two-thirds of the Members 
present; nor shall it report any rule or order which would prevent the 
motion to recommit from being made as provided in clause 4 of rule XVI.
  (c) The Committee on Rules shall present to the House reports 
concerning rules, joint rules, and order of business, within three 
legislative days of the time when the bill or resolution involved is 
ordered reported by the committee. If any such rule or order is not 
considered immediately, it shall be referred to the calendar and, if not 
called up by the Member making the report within seven legislative days 
thereafter, any member of the Rules Committee may call it up as a 
question of privilege (but only on the day after the calendar day on 
which such Member announces to the House his intention to do so) and the 
Speaker shall recognize any member of the Rules Committee seeking 
recognition for that purpose. If the Committee on Rules makes an adverse 
report on any resolution pending before the committee, providing for an 
order of business for the consideration by the House of any public bill 
or joint resolution, on days when it shall be in order to call up 
motions to discharge committees it shall be in order for any Member of 
the House to call up for consideration by the House such adverse report, 
and it shall be in order to move the adoption by the House of such 
resolution adversely reported notwithstanding the adverse report of the 
Committee on Rules, and the Speaker shall recognize the Member seeking 
recognition for that purpose as a question of the highest privilege.
  (d) Whenever the Committee on Rules reports a resolution repealing or 
amending any of the Rules of the House of Representatives or part 
thereof it shall include in its report or in an accompanying document--
    (1) the text of any part of the Rules of the House of 
  Representatives which is proposed to be repealed; and
    (2) a comparative print of any part of the resolution making such an 
  amendment and any part of the Rules of the House of Representatives to 
  be amended, showing by an appropriate typographical device the 
  omissions and insertions proposed to be made.

  5. (a) Whenever any committee, commission or other entity (except the 
Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget) is to be 
granted authorization for the payment, from the contingent fund of the 
House, of its expenses in any year, other than those expenses to be paid 
from appropriations provided by statute, such authorization initially 
shall be procured by one primary expense resolution for the committee, 
commission or other entity providing funds for the payment of the 
expenses of the committee, commission or other entity for that year from 
the contingent fund of the House. Any such primary expense resolution 
reported to the House shall not be considered in the House unless a 
printed 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--

  regarding the estimated foreseeable expenditures for the respective 
  anticipated activities and programs of the committee, commission or 
  other entity as may be appropriate to provide the House with basic 
  estimates with respect to the expenditure generally of the funds to be 
  provided to the committee, commission or other entity under the 
  primary expense resolution.
  (b) After the date of adoption by the House of any such primary 
expense resolution for any such committee, commission or other entity 
for any year, authorization for the payment from the contingent fund of 
additional expenses of such committee, commission or other entity in 
that year, other than those expenses to be paid from appropriations 
provided by statute, may be procured by one or more supplemental expense 
resolutions for that committee, commission or other entity as 
necesssary. Any such supplemental expense resolution reported to the 
House shall not be considered in the House unless a printed report on 
that resolution has been available to the Members of the House for at 
least one calendar day prior to the consideration of that resolution in 
the House. Such report shall, for the information of the House--
    (1) state the total amount of additional funds to be provided to the 
  committee, commission or other entity under the supplemental expense 
  resolution and the purpose or purposes for which those additional 
  funds are to be used by the committee, commission or other entity; and
    (2) state the reason or reasons for the failure to procure the 
  additional funds for the committee, commission or other entity by 
  means of the primary expense resolution.

  fund of the House of sums necessary to pay compensation for staff 
  services performed for, or to pay other expenses of, any committee, 
  commission or other entity at any time from and after the beginning of 
  any year and before the date of adoption by the House of the primary 
  expense resolution providing funds to pay the expenses of that 
  committee, commission or other entity for that year; or
    (2) any resolution providing in any Congress, for all of the 
  standing committees of the House, additional office equipment, airmail 
  and special delivery postage stamps, supplies, staff personnel, or any 
  other specific item for the operation of the standing committees, and 
  containing an authorization for the payment from the contingent fund 
  of the House of the expenses of any of the foregoing items provided by 
  that resolution, subject to and until enactment of the provisions of 
  the resolution as permanent law.
  (d) From the funds provided for the appointment of committee staff

  committee of the House is authorized to appoint one staff member who 
  shall serve at the pleasure of the subcommittee chairman.
    (2) The ranking minority party member of each standing subcommittee 
  on each standing committee of the House is authorized to appoint one 
  staff person who shall serve at the pleasure of the ranking minority 
  party member.

  subparagraphs (1) and (2) shall be compensated at a rate determined by

  maximum established in paragraph (c) of clause 6 or (B) the rate paid 
  the staff member appointed pursuant to subparagraph (1) of this 
  paragraph.

  provided under clause 6 of rule XI unless such staff positions are 
  made available pursuant to a primary or additional expense resolution.
  (e) No primary expense resolution or additional expense resolution of 
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 succeeding Congress, or in the case of a Member who is 
not a candidate in such general election, the earlier of the date of 
such general election or the adjournment sine die of the last regular 
session of the Congress.

as may be necessary for the the period beginning at noon on January 3 
and ending at midnight on March 31 of each year.
  (2) In the case of the first session of a Congress, amounts shall be

                            Committee Staffs

  6. (a)(1) Subject to subparagraph (2) of this paragraph and paragraph 
(f) of this clause, each standing committee may appoint, by majority 
vote of the committee, not more than eighteen professional staff 
members. Each professional staff member appointed under this 
subparagraph shall be assigned to the chairman and the ranking minority 
party member of such committee, as the committee considers advisable.
  (2) Subject to paragraph (f) of this clause, whenever a majority of 
the minority party members of a standing committee (except the Committee 
on Standards of Official Conduct and the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence) so request, not more than six persons may be selected, by

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

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--

  committee business.
  (4) Services of the professional staff members of each standing 
committee may be terminated by majority vote of the committee.
  (5) The foregoing provisions of this paragraph do not apply to the 
Committee on Appropriations and to the Committee on the Budget and the 
provisions of subparagraphs (3) (B) and (C) do not apply to the 
Committee on Rules.
  (b)(1) The clerical staff of each standing committee shall consist of 
not more than twelve clerks, to be attached to the office of the 
chairman, to the ranking minority party members, and to the professional 
staff, as the committee considers advisable. Subject to subparagraph (2) 
of this paragraph and paragraph (f) of this clause, the clerical staff 
shall be appointed by majority vote of the committee. Except as provided 
by subparagraph (2) of this paragraph the clerical staff shall handle 
committee correspondence and stenographic work both for the committee 
staff and for the chairman and the ranking minority party member on 
matters related to committee work.
  (2) Subject to paragraph (f) of this clause, whenever a majority of 
the minority party members of a standing committee (except the Committee 
on Standards of Official Conduct and the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence) so request, four persons may be selected, by majority vote 
of the minority party members, for appointment by the committee to 
positions on the clerical staff from among the number of clerks 
authorized by subparagraph (1) of this paragraph. The committee shall 
appoint to those positions any person so selected whose character and 
qualifications are acceptable to a majority of the committee. If the 
committee determines that the character and qualifications of any person 
so selected are unacceptable to the committee, a majority of the 
minority party members, may select other persons for appointment by the 
committee to the position involved on the clerical staff until such 
appointment is made. Each clerk appointed under this subparagraph shall

party members of the committee and for any members of the professional

applicable provisions of law.
  (d) Subject to appropriations hereby authorized, the Committee on 
Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget may appoint such staff, 
in addition to the clerk thereof and assistants for the minority, as it 
determines by majority vote to be necessary, such personnel, other than 
minority assistants, to possess such qualifications as the committee may 
prescribe.
  (e) No committee shall appoint to its staff any experts or other 
personnel detailed or assigned from any department or agency of the 
Government, except with the written permission of the Committee on House 
Administration.
  (f) If a request for the appointment of a minority professional staff 
member under paragraph (a), or a minority clerical staff member under 
paragraph (b), is made when no vacancy exists to which that appointment 
may be made, the committee nevertheless shall appoint, under paragraph 
(a) or paragraph (b), as applicable, the person se-P

[[Page 2527]]

lected 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

affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the majority party and 
a majority of the members of the minority party.

  1. The Resident Commissioner to the United States from Puerto Rico and 
each Delegate to the House shall be elected to serve on standing 
committees in the same manner as Members of the House and shall possess 
in such committees the same powers and privileges as the other Members.

                                Rule XIII

                   calendars and reports of committees

  l. There shall be three calendars to which all business reported from 
committees shall be referred, viz:
  First. A Calendar of the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union, to which shall be referred bills raising revenue, general 
appropriation bills, and bills of a public character directly or 
indirectly appropriating money or property.
  Second. A House Calendar, to which shall be referred all bills of a 
public character not raising revenue nor directly or indirectly 
appropriating money or property.
  Third. A Calendar of the Commitee of the Whole House, to which shall 
be referred all bills of a private character.
  2. All reports of committees, except as provided in clause 4(a) of 
rule XI, together with the views of the minority, shall be delivered to 
the Clerk for printing and reference to the proper calendar under the 
direction of the Speaker, in accordance with the foregoing clause, and 
the titles or subject thereof shall be entered on the Journal and 
printed in the Record: Provided, That bills reported adversely shall be 
laid on the table, unless the committee reporting a bill, at the time, 
or any Member within three days thereafter, shall request its reference 
to the calendar, when it shall be referred, as provided in clause 1 of 
this rule.
  3. Whenever a committee reports a bill or a joint resolution repealing 
or amending any statute or part thereof it shall include in its report 
or in an accompanying document--
    (1) The text of the statute or part thereof which is proposed to be 
  repealed; and
    (2) A comparative print of that part of the bill or joint resolution 
  making the amendment and of the statute or part thereof proposed to be 
  amended, showing by stricken-through type and italic, parallel 
  columns, or other appropriate typographical devices the omissions and 
  insertions proposed to be made: Provided, however, That if a committee 
  reports such a bill or joint resolution with amendments or an 
  amendment in the nature of a substitute for the entire bill, such 
  report shall include a comparative print showing any changes in 
  existing law proposed by the amendments or substitute instead of as in 
  the bill as introduced.
  4. After a bill has been favorably reported and shall be upon either 
the House or Union Calendar any Member may file with the Clerk a notice 
that he desires such bill placed upon a special calendar to be known as 
the ``Consent Calendar''. On the first and third Mondays of each month 
immediately after the reading of the Journal, the Speaker shall direct 
the Clerk to call the bills in numerical order, which have been for 
three legislative days upon the ``Consent Calendar''. Should objection 
be made to the consideration of any bill so called it shall be carried 
over on the calendar without prejudice to the next day when the 
``Consent Calendar'' is again called, and if objected to by three or 
more Members it shall immediately be stricken from the calendar, and 
shall not thereafter during the same session of that Congress be placed 
again thereon: Provided, That no bill shall be called twice on the same 
legislative day.
  5. There shall also be a Calendar of Motions to Discharge Committees, 
as provided in clause 3 of rule XXVII.
  6. Calendars shall be printed daily.
  7. (a) The report accompanying each bill or joint resolution of a 
public character reported by any committee shall contain--
    (1) an estimate, made by such committee, of the costs which would be 
  incurred in carrying out such bill or joint resolution in the fiscal 
  year in which it is reported, and in each of the five fiscal years 
  following such fiscal year (or for the authorized duration of any 
  program authorized by such bill or joint resolution, if less than five 
  years); and
    (2) a comparison of the estimate of costs described in subparagraph 
  (1) of this paragraph made by such committee with any estimate of such 
  costs made by any Government agency and submitted to such committee.
  (b) It shall not be in order to consider any such bill or joint 
resolution in the House if the report of the committee which reported 
that bill or joint resolution does not comply with paragraph (a) of this 
clause.
  (c) For the purposes of subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a) of this 
clause, a Government agency includes any department, agency, 
establishment, wholly owned Government corporation, or instrumentality 
of the Federal Government or the government of the District of Columbia.
  (d) The preceding provisions of this clause do not apply to the 
Committee on Appropriations, the Committee on House Administration, the 
Committee on Rules, and the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, 
and do not apply where a cost estimate and comparison prepared by the 
Director of the Congressional Budget Office under section 403 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 has been timely submitted prior to the 
filing of the report and included in the report pursuant to clause 
2(l)(3)(C) of rule XI.

                                Rule XIV

                          of decorum and debate

  1. When any Member desires to speak or deliver any matter to the 
House, he shall rise and respectfully address himself to ``Mr. 
Speaker'', and, on being recognized, may address the House from any 
place on the floor or from the Clerk's desk, and shall confine himself 
to the question under debate, avoiding personality. Debate may include 
references to actions taken by the Senate or by committees thereof which 
are a matter of public record, references to

[[Page 2528]]

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, resolution, or conference report thereon, on the question of 
  passage

[[Page 2529]]

  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 
thereafter any Member may call it up for consideration: Provided, That 
such

[[Page 2530]]

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 be returned to the Member from whom it was received; and petitions 
and pri-P

[[Page 2531]]

vate 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 Clerk 
shall deliver at least one copy of

[[Page 2532]]

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 2533]]

  On the third Tuesday of each month after the disposal of such business 
on the Speaker's table as requires reference only, the Speaker may 
direct the Clerk to call the bills and resolutions on the Private 
Calendar, preference to be given to omnibus bills containing bills or 
resolutions which have previously been objected to on a call of the 
Private Calendar. All bills and resolutions on the Private Calendar so 
called, if considered, shall be considered in the House as in the 
Committee of the Whole. Should objection be made by two or more Members 
to the consideration of any bill or resolution other than an omnibus 
bill, it shall be recommitted to the committee which reported the bill 
or resolution and no reservation of objection shall be entertained by 
the Speaker.
  Omnibus bills shall be read for amendment by paragraph, and no 
amendment shall be in order except to strike out or to reduce amounts of 
money stated or to provide limitations. Any item or matter stricken from 
an omnibus bill shall not thereafter during the same session of Congress 
be included in any omnibus bill.
  Upon passage of any such omnibus bill, said bill shall be resolved 
into the several bills and resolutions of which it is composed, and such 
original bills and resolutions, with any amendments adopted by the 
House, shall be engrossed, where necessary, and proceedings thereon had 
as if said bills and resolutions had been passed in the House severally.
  In the consideration of any omnibus bill the proceedings as set forth 
above shall have the same force and effect as if each Senate and House 
bill or resolution therein contained or referred to were considered by 
the House as a separate and distinct bill or resolution.
  7. On Wednesday of each week no business shall be in order except as 
provided by clause 4 of this rule unless the House by a two-thirds vote 
on motion to dispense therewith shall otherwise determine. On such a 
motion there may be debate not to exceed five minutes for and against. 
On a call of committees under this rule bills may be called up from 
either the House or the Union Calendar, excepting bills which are 
privileged under the rules; but bills called up from the Union Calendar 
shall be considered in the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union. This rule shall not apply during the last 2 weeks of the 
session. It shall not be in order for the Speaker to entertain a motion 
for a recess on any Wednesday except during the last 2 weeks of the 
session: Provided, That not more that 2 hours of general debate shall be 
permitted on any measure called up on Calendar Wednesday, and all debate 
must be confined to the 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

                          priority of business

  All questions relating to the priority of business shall be decided by 
a majority without debate.

                                Rule XXVI

                   unfinished business of the session

  All business before committees of the House at the end of one session 
shall be resumed at the commencement of the next session of the same 
Congress in the same manner as if no adjournment had taken place.

                               Rule XXVII

                      change or suspension of rules

  1. No rule shall be suspended except by a vote of two-thirds of the 
Members voting, a quorum being present; nor shall the Speaker entertain 
a motion to suspend the rules except on Mondays and Tuesdays, and during 
the last six days of a session.
  2. When a motion to suspend the rules has been submitted to the House, 
it shall be in order, before the final vote is taken thereon, to debate 
the proposition to be voted upon for forty minutes, one-half of such 
time to be given to debate in favor of, and one-half to debate in 
opposition to, such proposition; and the same right of debate shall be 
allowed whenever the previous question has been ordered on any 
proposition on which there has been no debate.
  3. A Member may present to the Clerk a motion in writing to discharge 
a committee from the consideration of a public bill or resolution which 
has been referred to it thirty days prior thereto (but only one motion 
may be presented for each bill or resolution). Under this rule it shall 
also be in order for a Member to file a motion to discharge the 
Committee on Rules from further consideration of any resolution 
providing either a special order of business, or a special rule for the 
consideration of any public bill or resolution favorably reported by a 
standing committee, or a special rule for the consideration of a public 
bill or resolution which has remained in a standing committee thirty or 
more days without action: Provided, That said resolution from which it 
is moved to discharge the Committee on Rules has been referred to that 
committee at least seven days prior to the filing of the motion to 
discharge. The motion shall be placed in the custody of the Clerk, who 
shall arrange some convenient place for the signature of Members. A 
signature may be withdrawn by a Member in writing at any time before the 
motion is entered on the Journal. 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 2534]]

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

                           conference reports

  1. (a) The presentation of reports of committees of conference shall 
always be in order, except when the Journal is being read, while the 
roll is being called, or the House is dividing on any proposition.
  (b) The time allotted for debate on any motion to instruct House 
conferees shall be equally divided between the majority and minority 
parties, except that if the proponent of the motion and the Member from 
the other party are both supporters of the motion, one-third of such 
debate time shall be allotted to a Member who is opposed to said motion.
  (c) After House conferees on any bill or resolution in conference 
between the House and Senate shall have been appointed for twenty 
calendar days and shall have failed to make a report, it is hereby 
declared to be a motion of the highest privilege to move to discharge 
said House conferees and to appoint new conferees, or to instruct said 
House conferees (but 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.

  4. (a) With respect to any report of a committee of conference called 
up before the House containing any matter which would be in violation of 
the provisions of clause 7 of rule XVI if such matter had been offered 
as an amendment in the House, and which--
    (1) is contained in any Senate amendment to that measure (including 
  a Senate amendment in the nature of substitute for the text of that 
  measure as passed by the House) accepted by the House conferees or 
  agreed to by the conference committee with modification; or
    (2) is contained in any substitute agreed to by the conference 
  committee;

it shall be in order, at any time after the reading of the report has 
been completed or dispensed with and before the reading of the 
statement, or immediately upon consideration of a conference report if 
clause 2(c) of this rule applies, to make a point of order that such 
nongermane matter, as described above, which shall be specified in the

  concerned as passed by the House; and

  been offered in the House as an amendment to the provisions of that 
  measure as so proposed in the form passed by the House;

shall be considered in violation of such clause 7.
  (b) If such point of order is sustained, it then shall be in order for 
the Chair to entertain a motion, which is of high privilege, that the

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

under paragraph (a), or of any motion to reject made pursuant to a point 
of order under paragraph (b), of this clause, it shall be in order to

and motions to reject pursuant thereto under such paragraph (b), with 
respect to other nongermane matter in the report of the committee of 
conference not covered by any previous point of order which has been 
sustained.
  (d) If any such motion to reject has been adopted, after final 
dispostion of all points of order and motions to reject under the 
preceding provisions of this clause, the conference report shall be 
considered as rejected and the question then pending before the House 
shall be--
    (1) whether to recede and concur in the Senate amendment with an 
  amendment which shall consist of that portion of the conference report 
  not rejected; or
    (2) if the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this clause applies, 
  whether to insist further on the House amendment.

If all such motions to reject are defeated, then, after the allocation 
of time for debate on the conference report as provided in clause 2(a) 
of this rule, it shall be in order to move the previous question on the 
adoption of the conference report.
  5. (a)(1) With respect to any amendment (including an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute) which--
    (A) is proposed by the Senate to any measure and thereafter--

    committee of conference; or
      (ii) is before the House, the stage of disagreement having been 
    reached; and
    (B) contains any matter which would be in violation of the 
  provisions of clause 7 of rule XVI if such matter had been offered as 
  an amendment in the House;

it shall be in order, immediately after a motion is offered that the 
House recede from its disagreement to such amendment proposed by the 
Senate and concur therein and before debate is commenced on such motion, 
to make a point of order that such nongermane matter, as described 
above, which shall be specified in the point of order, is contained in 
such amendment proposed by the Senate.
  (2) If such point of order is sustained, it then shall be in order for 
the Chair to entertain a motion, which is of high privilege, that the 
House reject the nongermane matter covered by the point of order. It 
shall be in order to debate such motion for forty minutes, one-half of 
such time to be given to debate in favor of, and one-half in opposition 
to, the motion.
  (3) Notwithstanding the final disposition of any point of order made 
under subparagraph (1), or of any motion to reject made pursuant to a 
point of order under subparagraph (2), of this paragraph, it shall be in 
order to make further points of order on the ground stated in such 
subparagraph (1), and motions to reject pursuant thereto under such 
subparagraph (2), with respect to other nongermane matter in the 
amendment proposed by the Senate not covered by any previous point of 
order which has been sustained.
  (4) If any such motion to reject has been adopted, after final 
disposition of all points of order and motions to reject under the 
preceding provisions of this clause, the motion to recede and concur 
shall be considered as rejected, and further motions--
    (A) to recede and concur in the Senate amendment with an amendment, 
  where appropriate (but the offering of which is not in order unless 
  copies of the language of the Senate amendment, as proposed to be 
  amended by such motion, are then available on the floor when such 
  motion is offered and is under consideration);
    (B) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment and request 
  a further conference with the Senate; and
    (C) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment;

shall remain of high privilege for consideration by the House. If all

of this rule, it shall be in order to move the previous question on such 
motion.
  (b)(1) With respect to any such amendment proposed by the Senate as 
described in paragraph (a) of this clause, it shall not be in order to 
offer any motion that the House recede from its disagreement to such 
Senate amendment and concur therein with an amendment, unless copies of 
the language of the Senate amendment, as proposed to be amended by such 
motion, are then available on the floor when such motion is offered and 
is under consideration.
  (2) Immediately after any such motion is offered and is in order and 
before debate is commenced on such motion, it shall be in order to make 
a point of order that nongermane matter, as described in subparagraph 
(1) of paragraph (a) of this clause, which shall be specified in the 
point of order, is contained in the language of the Senate amendment, as 
proposed to be amended by such motion, copies of which are then 
available on the floor.
  (3) If such point of order is sustained, it then shall be in order for 
the Chair to entertain a motion, which is of high privilege, that the 
House reject the nongermane matter covered by the point of order. It 
shall be in order to debate such motion for forty minutes, one-half of 
such time to be given to debate in favor of, and one-half in opposition 
to, the motion.
  (4) Notwithstanding the final disposition of any point of order under 
subparagraph (2), or of any motion to reject made pursuant to a point of 
order under subparagraph (3), of this paragraph, it shall be in order to 
make further points of order on the ground stated in subparagraph (1) of 
paragraph (a) of this clause, and motions to reject pursuant thereto 
under subparagraph (3) of this paragraph, with respect to other 
nongermane matter in the language of the Senate amendment, as proposed 
to be amended by the motion described in subparagraph (1) of this 
paragraph, not covered by any previous point of order which has been

with an amendment shall be considered as rejected, and further motions--
    (A) to recede and concur in the Senate amendment with an amendment, 
  where appropriate (but the offering of which is not in order unless

  amended by such motion, are then available on the floor when such 
  motion is offered and is under consideration);
    (B) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment and request 
  a further conference with the Senate; and
    (C) to insist upon disagreement to the Senate amendment;

employing authority. In the case of committee employees who work under 
the direct supervision of a Member other than a chairman, the chairman 
may require that such Member affirm in writing that the employees have 
complied with the preceding sentence (subject to clause 6 of rule XI) as 
evidence of the chairman's compliance with this clause and with clause 6 
of rule XI.
  9. A Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives

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

such conviction.
  11. A Member of the House of Representatives shall not authorize or 
otherwise allow a non-House individual, group, or organization to use

employee has a significant financial interest.
  (b) Paragraph (a) shall not apply if an employee first advises his 
employing authority of his significant financial interest and obtains 
from his employing authority a written waiver stating that the 
participation of the employee is necessary. A copy of each such waiver 
shall be filed with the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.

and (e) are-- * * *
    (9) a Member of Congress as defined under section 109(12);

an individual who, as determined by the designated agency ethics 
official or Secretary concerned (or in the case of a Presidential 
appointee under subsection (b), the Director of the Office of Government 
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 
that if such individual performs the duties of his office or position 
for more than sixty days in a calendar year--
    (1) the report required by subsections (a) and (b) shall be filed

  the Government,
    (3) it is unlikely that the individual's outside employment or

in the real property, or (B) the assessed value of the real property for 
tax purposes, adjusted to reflect the market value of the property used 
for the assessment if the assessed value is computed at less than 100 
percent of such market value, but such individual shall include in his 
report a full and complete description of the method used to determine 
such assessed value, instead of specifying a category of value pursuant

not ascertainable without an appraisal, such individual may list the 
book value of a corporation whose stock is not publicly traded, the net 
worth of a business partnership, the equity value of an individually 
owned business, or with respect to other holdings, any recognized

if the assessed value is computed at less than 100 percent of such 
market value, but a full and complete description of the method used in 
determining such assessed value shall be included in the report.

    (A) The source of items of earned income earned by a spouse from any 
  person which exceed $1,000 and the source and amount of any honoraria 
  received by a spouse, except that, with respect to earned income 
  (other than honoraria), if the spouse is self-employed in business or 
  a profession, only the nature of such business or profession need be 
  reported.
    (B) All information required to be reported in subsection (a)(1)(B) 
  with respect to income derived by a spouse or dependent child from any 
  asset held by the spouse or dependent child and reported pursuant to 
  subsection (a)(3).
    (C) In the case of any gifts received by a spouse or dependent child 
  which

[[Page 2541]]

  are not received totally independent of the relationship of the spouse 
  or dependent child to the reporting individual, the identity of the 
  source and a brief description of gifts of transportation, lodging, 
  food, or entertainment and a brief description and the value of other

  individual, the identity of the source and a brief description of each 
  such reimbursement.
    (E) In the case of items described in paragraphs (3) through (5) of

  interest or responsibility and which the reporting individual has no 
  knowledge of, (ii) which are not in any way, past or present, derived 
  from the income, assets, or activities of the reporting individual, 
  and (iii) from which the reporting individual neither derives, nor 
  expects to derive, any financial or economic benefit.

    Reports required by subsections (a), (b), and (c) of section 101 
  shall, with respect to the spouse and dependent child of the reporting 
  individual, only contain information listed in paragraphs (1), (3), 
  and (4) of subsection (a), as specified in this paragraph.
  (2) No report shall be required with respect to a spouse living 
separate and apart from the reporting individual with the intention of 
terminating the marriage or providing for permanent separation; or with 
respect to any income or obligations of an individual arising from the 
dissolution of his marriage or the permanent separation from his spouse.
  (f)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), each reporting individual 
shall report the information required to be reported pursuant to 
subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section with respect to the 
holdings of and the income from a trust or other financial arrangement 
from which income is received by, or with respect to which a beneficial 
interest in principal or income is held by, such individual, his spouse, 
or any dependent child.

      (ii) the holdings or sources of income of which such individual, 
    his spouse, and any dependent child have no knowledge of; or
    (C) an entity described under the provisions of paragraph (8), but 
  such individual shall report the category of the amount of income 
  received by him, his spouse, or any dependent child from the trust or 
  other entity under subsection (a)(1)(B) of this section.
  (3) For purpose of this subsection, the term ``qualified blind trust'' 
includes any trust in which a reporting individual, his spouse, or any 
minor or dependent child has a beneficial interest in the principal or 
income, and which meets the following requirements:
    (A)(i) The trustee of the trust and any other entity designated in 
  the trust instrument to perform fiduciary duties is a financial 
  institution, an attorney, a certified public accountant, a broker, or 
  an investment advisor who--
      (I) is independent of and not associated with any interested party 
    so that the trustee or other person cannot be controlled or 
    influenced in the administration of the trust by any interested 
    party; and
      (II) is not and has not been an employee of or affiliated with any 
    interested party and is not a partner of, or involved in any joint 
    venture or other investment with, any interested party; and
      (III) is not a relative of any interested party.
    (ii) Any officer or employee of a trustee or other entity who is 
  involved in the management or control of the trust--
      (I) is independent of and not associated with any interested party 
    so that such officer or employee cannot be controlled or influenced 
    in the administration of the trust by any interested party;
      (II) is not a partner of, or involved in any joint venture or 
    other investment with, any interested party; and
      (III) is not a relative of any interested party.
    (B) Any asset transferred to the trust by an interested party is 
  free of any restriction with respect to its transfer or sale unless 
  such restriction is expressly approved by the supervising ethics 
  office of the reporting individual.
    (C) The trust instrument which establishes the trust provides that--
      (i) except to the extent provided in subparagraph (B) of this 
    paragraph, the trustee in the exercise of his authority and 
    discretion to manage and control the assets of the trust shall not 
    consult or notify any interested party;
      (ii) the trust shall not contain any asset the holding of which by 
    an interested party is prohibited by any law or regulation;
      (iii) the trustee shall promptly notify the reporting individual 
    and his supervising ethics office when the holdings of any 
    particular asset transferred to the trust by any interested party 
    are disposed of or when the value of such holding is less than 
    $1,000;
      (iv) the trust tax return shall be prepared by the trustee or his 
    designee, and such return and any information relating thereto 
    (other than the trust income summarized in appropriate categories 
    necessary to complete an interested party's tax return), shall not 
    be disclosed to any interested party;
      (v) an interested party shall not receive any report on the 
    holdings and sources of income of the trust, except a report at the 
    end of each calendar quarter with respect to the total cash value of 
    the interest of the interested party in the trust or the net income 
    or loss of the trust or any reports necessary to enable the 
    interested party to complete an individual tax return required by 
    law or to provide the information required by subsection (a)(1) of 
    this section, but such report shall not identify any asset or 
    holding;
      (vi) except for communications which solely consist of requests 
    for distributions of cash or other unspecified assets of the trust, 
    there shall be no direct or indirect communication between the 
    trustee and an interested party with respect to the trust unless 
    such communication is in writing and unless it relates only (I) to 
    the general financial interest and needs of the interested party 
    (including, but not limited to, an interest in maximizing income or 
    long-term capital gain), (II) to the notification of the trustee of 
    a law or regulation subsequently applicable to the reporting 
    individual which prohibits the interested party from holding an 
    asset, which notification directs that the asset not be held by the 
    trust, or (III) to directions to the trustee to sell all of an asset 
    initially placed in the trust by an interested party which in the 
    determination of the reporting individual creates a conflict of 
    interest or the appearance thereof due to the subsequent assumption 
    of duties by the reporting individual (but nothing herein shall 
    require any such direction); and
      (vii) the interested parties shall make no effort to obtain 
    information with respect to the holdings of the trust, including 
    obtaining a copy of any trust tax return filed or any information 
    relating thereto except as otherwise provided in this subsection.
    (D) The proposed trust instrument and the proposed trustee is 
  approved by the reporting individual's supervising ethics office.

  reporting individual, his spouse, and any minor or dependent child; 
  ``broker'' has the meaning set forth in section 3(a)(4) of

[[Page 2542]]

  the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(4)); and 
  ``investment adviser'' includes any investment adviser who, as 
  determined under regulations prescribed by the supervising ethics 
  office, is generally involved in his role as such an adviser in the

  3. (a) The select committee, for the purposes of accountability to the

of rule XI, a majority of those present, there being in attendance the 
requisite number required under the rules of the select committee to be 
present for the purpose of taking testimony or receiving evidence, may 
vote to close a hearing whenever the majority determines that such 
testimony or evidence would endanger the national security.
  5. No employee of the select committee or any person engaged by 
contract or otherwise to perform services for or at the request of such

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 
Intelligence, be commensurate with the sensitivity of the classified 
information to which such employee or person will be given access by 
such committee.
  6. The select committee shall formulate and carry out such rules and 
procedures as it deems necessary to prevent the disclosure, without the 
consent of the person or persons concerned, of information in the 
possession of such committee which unduly infringes upon the privacy or 
which violates the constitutional rights of such person or persons. 
Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent such committee from 
publicly disclosing any such information in any case in which such

person or persons.
  7. (a) The select committee may, subject to the provisions of this 
clause, disclose publicly any information in the possession of such 
committee after a determination by such committee that the public 
interest would be served by such disclosure. Whenever committee action 
is required to disclose any information under this clause, the committee 
shall meet to vote on the matter within five days after any member of 
the committee requests such a vote. No member of the select committee 
shall disclose any information, the disclosure of which requires a 
committee vote, prior to a vote by the committee on the question of the 
disclosure of such information or after such vote except in accordance 
with this clause.
  (b)(1) In any case in which the select committee votes to disclose 
publicly any information which has been classified under established 
security procedures, which has been submitted to it by the executive 
branch, and which the executive branch requests be kept secret, such 
committee shall notify the President of such vote.
  (2) The select committee may disclose publicly such information after 
the expiration of a five-day period following the day on which notice of 
such vote is transmitted to the President, unless, prior to the 
expiration of such five-day period, the President, personally in 
writing, notifies the committee that he objects to the disclosure of 
such information, provides his reasons therefor, and certifies that the 
threat to the national interest of the United States posed by such 
disclosure is of such gravity that it outweighs any public interest in 
the disclosure.

[[Page 2549]]

  (3) If the President, personally, in writing, notifies the select 
committee of his objections to the disclosure of such information as 
provided in subparagraph (2), such committee may, by majority vote, 
refer the question of this disclosure of such information with a 
recommendation thereon to the House for consideration. The committee 
shall not publicly disclose such information without leave of the House.
  (4) Whenever the select committee votes to refer the question of 
disclosure of any information to the House under subparagraph (3), the 
chairman shall, not later than the first day on which the House is in 
session following the day on which the vote occurs, report the matter to 
the House for its consideration.
  (5) If within four calendar days on which the House is in session, 
after such recommendation is reported, no motion has been made by the 
chairman of the select committee to consider, in closed session, the 
matter reported under subparagraph (4), then such a motion will be 
deemed privileged and may be made by any Member. The motion under this 
subparagraph shall not be subject to debate or amendment. When made, it 
shall be decided without intervening motion, except one motion to 
adjourn.
  (6) If the House adopts a motion to resolve into closed session, the 
Speaker shall then be authorized to declare a recess subject to the call 
of the Chair. At the expiration of such recess, the pending question, in 
closed session, shall be, ``Shall the House approve the recommendation 
of the select committee?''
  (7) After not more than two hours of debate on the motion, such debate 
to be equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the select committee, or their designees, the 
previous question shall be considered as ordered and the House, without 
intervening motion except one motion to adjourn, shall immediately vote 
on the question, in open session but without divulging the information 
with respect to which the vote is being taken. If the recommendation of 
the select committee is not agreed to, the question shall be deemed 
recommitted to the select committee for further recommendation.
  (c)(1) No information in the possession of the select committee 
relating to the lawful intelligence or intelligence-related activities 
of any department or agency of the United States which has been 
classified under established security procedures and which the select 
committee, pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this clause, has 
determined should not be disclosed shall be made available to any person 
by a Member, officer, or employee of the House except as provided in 
subparagraphs (2) and (3).
  (2) The select committee shall, under such regulations as the 
committee shall prescribe, make any information described in 
subparagraph (1) available to any other committee or any other Member of 
the House and permit any other Member of the House to attend any hearing 
of the committee which is closed to the public. Whenever the select 
committee makes such information available (other than to the Speaker), 
the committee shall keep a written record showing, in the case of any 
particular information, which committee or which Members of the House 
received such information. No Member of the House who, and no committee 
which, receives any information under this subparagraph, shall disclose 
such information except in a closed session of the House.
  (3) The select committee shall permit the Speaker to attend any 
meeting of the committee and to have access to any information in the 
possession of the committee.
  (d) The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct shall investigate 
any unauthorized disclosure of intelligence or intelligence-related 
information by a Member, officer, or employee of the House in violation 
of paragraph (c) and report to the House concerning any allegation which 
it finds to be substantiated.
  (e) Upon the request of any person who is subject to any such 
investigation, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct shall 
release to such individual at the conclusion of its investigation a 
summary of its investigation, together with its findings. If, at the 
conclusion of its investigation, the Committee on Standards of Official 
Conduct determines that there has been a significant breach of 
confidentiality or unauthorized disclosure by a Member, officer, or 
employee of the House, it shall report its findings to the House and 
recommend appropriate action such as censure, removal from committee 
membership, or expulsion from the House, in the case of a Member, or 
removal from office or employment or punishment for contempt, in the 
case of an officer or employee.
  8. The select committee is authorized to permit any personal 
representative of the President, designated by the President to serve as 
a liaison to such committee, to attend any closed meeting of such 
committee.
  9. Subject to the rules of the House, no funds shall be appropriated 
for any fiscal year, with the exception of a continuing bill or 
resolution continuing appropriations, or amendment thereto, or 
conference report thereon, to, or for use of, any department or agency 
of the United States to carry out any of the following activities, 
unless such funds shall have been previously authorized by a bill or 
joint resolution passed by the House during the same or preceding fiscal

  Director of Central Intelligence.

                                Rule XLIX

           establishment of statutory limit on the public debt

  1. Upon the adoption by the Congress (under section 301 or 304 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974) of any concurrent resolution on the 
budget setting forth as the appropriate level of the public debt for the 
period to which such concurrent resolution relates an

[[Page 2550]]

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.

                   procedure for response to subpoenas

  1. When any Member, officer, or employee of the House of 
Representatives is properly served with a subpoena or other judicial

directing appearance as a witness relating to the official functions of 
the House or for the production or disclosure of any documents relating 
to the official functions of the House, such Member, officer, or 
employee shall promptly notify, in writing, the Speaker of its receipt 
and such notification shall then be promptly laid before the House by 
the Speaker, except that during a period of recess or adjournment of 
longer than three days, no such notification to the House shall be 
required. However, upon the reconvening of the House, such notification 
shall then be promptly laid before the House by the Speaker.
  3. Once notification has been laid before the House, the Member, 
officer, or employee shall determine whether the issuance of the 
subpoena or other judicial order is a proper exercise of the court's 
jurisdiction, is material and relevant, and is consistent with the 
privileges and rights of the House. The Member, officer, or employee 
shall notify the Speaker prior to seeking judicial determination of 
these matters.

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.

                           QUESTIONS OF ORDER

DECIDED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AT THE SECOND 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. 16.10)




a resolution reciting the request of a united states attorney that the 
  house defer an inquiry into the operation of its former post office 
  lest it compromise an ongoing criminal investigation, and resolving 
     that the committee on standards of official conduct defer any 
   investigation until assured that it would not interfere with the 
 criminal investigation, gives rise to a question of privileges of the 
                          house under rule ix.

                                    

  On March 2, 1994, Mr. GEPHARDT rose to a question of the privileges 
of the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 375):

       Whereas the House is on notice pursuant to Rule IX that it 
     may soon consider a proposal to direct the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct to investigate the former 
     operations of the House Post Office;
       Whereas matters relating to the former operations of the 
     House Post Office are the subject of an ongoing criminal 
     investigation by the United States Attorney of the District 
     of Columbia;
       Whereas pursuant to its rules, the Committee on Standards 
     of Official Conduct traditionally defers inquiry with respect 
     to a matter that is the subject of an ongoing investigation 
     by an appropriate law enforcement or regulatory authority;
       Whereas the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has 
     on several occasions agreed to defer inquiry with respect to 
     the former operations of the House Post Office, and has 
     deferred inquiry in other matters regarding current Members 
     where investigations by other authorities are proceeding;
       Whereas by letters of November 25, 1992, September 9, 1993, 
     and October 26, 1993, then Assistant Attorney General Lee 
     Rawls, then United States Attorney J. Ramsey Johnson, and 
     current United States Attorney Eric Holder, respectively, 
     requested that the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct 
     defer any inquiry into the former operations of the House 
     Post Office and related matters;
       Whereas on February 23, 1994, the United States Attorney of 
     the District of Columbia delivered the following letter to 
     the Speaker and the Republican Leader:

                                        Department of Justice,

                                Washington, DC, February 23, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representaties, Washington, DC.
     Hon. Robert H. Michel,
     Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker and Congressman Michel: I am writing to 
     express my concern that certain actions reportedly being 
     considered by the House of Representatives could 
     significantly damage a criminal investigation being actively 
     pursued by this Office. Like my two immediate predecessors as 
     United States Attorney for this District, Jay B. Stephens and 
     J. Ramsey Johnson, I urge the House to refrain from such 
     actions, and to affirm the paramount public interest in 
     permitting the grand jury to determine fairly whether the 
     criminal laws have been violated, whether by Members of 
     Congress or others. My request is all the more urgent now, as 
     this important investigation is in its final stages and will 
     be concluded in the near future.
       As you know, the United States Attorney's Office, in 
     conjunction with a federal grand jury, has been conducting a 
     criminal investigation of matters that related originally to 
     the operation of the House Post Office. That original phase 
     of the investigation, which has resulted in the criminal 
     convictions of seven former employees of the House Post 
     Office and one former congressional aide, reached its most 
     significant point so far in July 1993, with the guilty plea 
     of former House Postmaster Robert V. Rota. With the 
     cooperation of Mr. Rota, the investigation turned to 
     allegations of criminal conduct by other individuals, 
     specifically Members of Congress who conducted certain 
     financial transactions through the House Post Office. This 
     aspect of the investigation is continuing.
       As you also are aware (because of disclosures mandated by 
     House Rule 50) in the last few months the grand jury's 
     investigation has expanded to include additional allegations 
     of criminal misconduct beyond those tied to the House Post 
     Office, including matters involving the House Finance Office 
     and the House Office Supply Service (known as the House 
     Stationery Store). These relatively recent additional 
     developments are now fully within the purview of the grand 
     jury's criminal investigation.
       It is my understanding, however, that despite the existence 
     of this active and important criminal investigation, the 
     House may soon be asked to vote on House Resolution 238. This 
     resolution would specifically direct the Committee on 
     Standards of Official Conduct to investigate whether Members 
     of Congress received cash from the House Post Office.
       Inquiry into these matters by a committee of the House 
     would pose a severe risk to the integrity of the criminal 
     investigation. Inevitably, any such inquiry would overlap 
     substantially with the grand jury's activities. Among other 
     concerns, the House certainly would seek to interview the 
     same witnesses or subjects who are central to the criminal 
     investigation. Such interviews could jeopardize the criminal 
     probe in several respects, including the dangers of 
     congressional immunity, of Speech-or-Debate issues, and of 
     unwarranted public disclosure of matters at the core of the 
     criminal investigation. This inherent conflict would be 
     greatly magnified by the fact that the House would be 
     investigating matters that are criminal in nature, and would 
     be covering essentially the same ground as the grand jury. 
     This Office had occasion to voice similar concerns during the 
     operations-and-management review of the House Post Office 
     that was conducted by a task force of the Committee on House 
     Administration; yet that review as far more limited in scope, 
     and far easier to separate from the criminal probe, than the 
     investigation required by House Resolution 238.
       These threats to the grand jury investigation would not be 
     lessened by the portion of the resolution that would permit 
     the Committee to defer its inquiry as to any particular 
     Member, if the Department of Justice stated in writing that 
     that Member was being investigated. Wholly apart from the 
     legal issues involved in the Justice Department's identifying 
     individuals who are under criminal investigation, the idea of 
     excluding the conduct of one or more identified individuals 
     from the congressional inquiry does almost nothing to protect 
     the integrity of the overall criminal investigation. That 
     investigation encompasses the interrelated conduct of 
     numerous persons, and cannot be divided and compartmentalized 
     in such a manner.
       I and my predecessors have acknowledged the importance to 
     the House of its ability to review and police the internal 
     operations, management, and procedures of congressional 
     institutions. In particular, we are sensitive to the special 
     responsibility of the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct to examine possible violations of House ethical 
     standards. Nevertheless, it is unquestionably the province of 
     the grand jury to investigate, without interference, specific 
     criminal allegations against particular individuals, 
     regardless of who they may be or to what institution of 
     government they may belong. Moreover, the vital public 
     interest in fair and effective law enforcement requires that 
     any such investigation be shielded vigorously from actions 
     that might endanger its integrity.
       For these reasons, it has been the consistent position of 
     this Office, throughout the life of the investigation, that 
     the House should defer its own inquiries until the grand jury 
     investigation is completed. I make that request of you again 
     now, in the strongest possible terms. I ask the House of 
     Representatives to forbear from any proposed actions or 
     inquiries in the areas covered by the grand jury's ongoing 
     criminal investigation, both in order to avoid compromising 
     that investigation at this late stage, and in order to 
     further the public interest in preserving the fairness, 
     thoroughness, and confidentiality of the grand jury process.
       Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
                                              Eric H. Holder, Jr.,
                                                    U.S. Attorney.

       Whereas, the House should exercise particular caution so as 
     not to impede, delay, or otherwise interfere with an ongoing 
     criminal investigation that may involve its own Members; 
     Therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House supports the decision of the 
     Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to defer inquiry 
     on matters relating to the former operation of the House Post 
     Office; and be it
       Further resolved, That the Committee on Standards of 
     Official Conduct shall continue to consult with the United 
     States Attorney and continue to review its decision to defer 
     inquiry in this matter. At such time as the Committee 
     determines that a Committee inquiry would no longer interfere 
     with the criminal investigation, the Committee shall proceed, 
     pursuant to its rules, with such inquiry as it deems 
     appropriate.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOYER, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule XI, and recognized Mr. GEPHARDT and Mr. GRANDY, each for 30 
minutes.

                        privileges of the house

                              (Para. 16.13)


 a resolution alleging wrongdoing in the operation of the former house 
post office, and resolving that the committee on standards of official 
conduct conduct an inquiry into the matter gives rise to a question of 
                 privileges of the house under rule ix.

                                    

  On March 2, 1994, Mr. ISTOOK rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and, pursuant to the order of the House of February 23, 1994, 
called up the following resolution (H. Res. 238); as amended:

       Whereas, allegations reported in public and made in 
     official court documents that personnel of the House Post 
     Office provided illegal cash to certain members in three 
     ways: (1) cash instead of stamps for official vouchers, (2) 
     cash for postage stamps which, had earlier been purchased 
     with official vouchers, and (3) cash for campaign checks;
       Whereas, these allegations directly affect the rights of 
     the House collectively, its safety, dignity, and the 
     integrity of its proceedings, and the rights, reputation, and 
     conduct of its Members:
       Whereas, Article, I, Section V of the Constitution gives 
     each House of the Congress responsibility over disorderly 
     behavior of its Members:
       Whereas, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has 
     jurisdiction over the conduct and behavior of current House 
     Members, Officers, and employees, including investigatory 
     authority, and is the appropriate body of this House to 
     conduct any inquiry: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct is instructed to investigate immediately all possible 
     violations that are related, but not limited to, the 
     documents received by the Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct from the Committee on House Administration, and the 
     allegations stated above.
       Further resolved, The Committee on Standards of Official 
     Conduct shall coordinate its investigation with the related 
     efforts of the Department of Justice so as not to jeopardize 
     any ongoing criminal investigation.
       Further resolved, That in pursuing its investigations, the 
     Committee on Standards of Official Conduct shall determine 
     Members, Officers or employees who have violated House rules, 
     practices and procedures in connection with the House Post 
     Office.
       Further resolved, The Committee shall inform the Department 
     of Justine regarding the procedures and aspects the Committee 
     intends to investigate. If the Department of Justice then 
     responds that a specific matter the Committee intends to 
     investigate is material to, or subject of an official 
     investigation, the Committee may defer that inquiry pending 
     the conclusion of the investigation by the Department of 
     Justice.
       Further resolved, That the Committee on Standards of 
     Official Conduct shall file a public status report within 60 
     days of the adoption of the resolution and periodically 
     thereafter. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HOYER, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX, and recognized Mr. ISTOOK and Mr. GEPHARDT, each for 30 
minutes.

                      point of personal privilege

                              (Para. 30.7)


a member rose to a question of personal privilege under rule ix on the 
   basis of news accounts that assertedly impugned his character and 
motives by publishing quotations from a letter the member received from 
  the chairman of the committee on banking, finance and urban affairs.

                                    

  On March 24, 1994, Mr. LEACH rose to a question of personal 
privilege.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mrs. KENNELLY, pursuant to clause 1 of rule 
IX, recognized Mr. LEACH for one hour.
  Mr. LEACH made the following statement:

  ``Madam Speaker, I rise to a point of personal privilege of the 
House.
  ``In rising to this point of privilege, I wish to express concern 
about the breakdown of comity that has occurred on a personal and 
procedural level in the House Banking Committee.
  ``On a personal level, unfortunate adjectives have been used; on a 
procedural level, unprecedented tactics have been employed.
  ``I don't wish to dwell on the personal, except to stress my high 
regard for the chairman of the Banking Committee and to suggest that, 
as the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr once observed, the temper and 
integrity of the political debate is more important in our kind of 
democracy than the outcome of any issue.
  ``Motivational aspersions are no substitute for full disclosure; 
indignation no substitute for pursuit of truth.
  ``Members of the majority may be speaking the truth when they 
indicate they have no evidence of a link between the failure of an 
Arkansas S&L and Whitewater and that they know of no improprieties at 
issue. But it should be understood that not speaking an untruth is not 
the same as describing a truthful situation, particularly if there has 
been no serious effort to pursue the truth.
  [The full remarks of Mr. Leach appear in the text of the Journal of 
March 24, 1994, at Para. 30.7]

                             point of order

                              (Para. 40.7)


to a bill addressing united states claims against iraq before a united 
    nations commission by provisions within the jurisdiction of the 
committee on foreign affairs (including a sense of congress concerning 
the admission of iraqi refugees to the united states pending payment of 
      such claims), an amendment proposed in a motion to recommit 
 independently barring from admission to the united states as refugees 
 all former members of the iraqi armed forces (a provision within the 
    jurisdiction of the committee on the judiciary) is not germane.

                                    

  On April 28, 1994, the bill (H.R. 3221) to provide for the 
adjudication of certain claims against the Government of Iraq; was 
ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, was read a third time by 
title.
  Mr. MANZULLO moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs with instructions to report the bill back to the House 
forthwith with the following amendment:

       Strike section 10(a) and insert the following:
       ``(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, 
     individuals who have served in the armed forces of Iraq 
     during the Persian Gulf conflict may not be admitted to the 
     United States as refugees under the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act.''.
  Pending consideration of said motion to recommit with instructions,

                             point of order

                              (Para. 40.8)

  Mr. HAMILTON made a point of order against the motion to recommit 
with instructions, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I object to the motion to recommit and make a point of 
order against it.
  ``Mr. Speaker, I think the motion to recommit is not germane, because 
as I understand it, and I have not had the opportunity to see it, but I 
was trying to listen very carefully. As I understand it, it tries to 
change the basic immigration law that is the law of the land. I 
therefore think it should be subject to a point of order as not 
germane.''.
  Mr. GILMAN was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I join with the distinguished chairman [Mr. Hamilton] 
of the Committee in raising the issue that this is a nongermane 
amendment.''.
  Mr. MANZULLO was recognized to speak to the point of order, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, under these very exceptional circumstances as to this 
rough language that was found in this bill as brought to the House by 
the gentleman from Pennsylvania, I think it would be in the best order 
and in the best interests of the American public to defeat this bill in 
final passage and send it back to the full Committee on Foreign Affairs 
to redo the language.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. KLECZKA, sustained the point of order, 
and said:
  ``Does any other Member desire to be heard on the point of order?
  ``If not, the Chair is prepared to rule.
  ``The gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Hamilton] makes a point of order 
that the amendment contained in the motion to recommit with 
instructions is not germane. The test of germaneness in this situation 
is to measure the amendment against the bill in its perfected form. The 
bill, as amended, appears to confine changes in law to those within the 
jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
  ``While section 10 does express the sense of Congress relating to 
Iraqi refugees, the bill does not change the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, other laws relating to admission of refugees, or 
contain other matter within the ju- 

[[Page 2561]]

risdiction of the Committee on the Judiciary.
  ``Since the amendment would change immigration law and the bill would 
not, the Chair sustains the point of order.''.

             privileges of the house--return of senate bill

                              (Para. 80.6)


 a resolution asserting that a senate-passed bill contains provisions 
raising revenue in derogation of the constitutional prerogative of the 
     house to originate such bills gives rise to a question of the 
privileges of the house under rule ix. the house returned to the senate 
a senate-passed bill to regulate toxic substances that, by prohibiting 
 the import of products containing more than specified levels of lead, 
               would effect a change in tariff revenues.

                                    

  On July 21, 1994, Mr. GIBBONS rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 486):

       Resolved, That the bill of the Senate (S. 729) to amend the 
     Toxic Substances Control Act to reduce the levels of lead in 
     the environment, and for other purposes, in the opinion of 
     this House, contravenes the first clause of the seventh 
     section of the first article of the Constitution of the 
     United States and is an infringement of the privileges of 
     this House and that such bill be respectfully returned to the 
     Senate with a message communicating this resolution.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX, and recognized Mr. GIBBONS and Mr. HANCOCK, each for 30 
minutes.

             privileges of the house--return of senate bill

                              (Para. 80.7)


 a resolution asserting that a senate-passed bill contains provisions 
raising revenue in derogation of the constitutional prerogative of the 
     house to originate such bills gives rise to a question of the 
privileges of the house under rule ix. the house returned to the senate 
  a senate-passed bill (previously referred to committee) to improve 
 veterans' health programs would exempt from taxation certain payments 
                        in respect of veterans.

                                    

  On July 21, 1994, Mr. GIBBONS rose to a question of the privileges of 
the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 487):

       Resolved, That the bill of the Senate (S. 1030) entitled 
     the ``Veterans Health Programs Improvement Act of 1994'', in 
     the opinion of this House, contravenes the first clause of 
     the seventh section of the first article of the Constitution 
     of the United States and is an infringement of the privileges 
     of this House and that such bill be respectfully returned to 
     the Senate with a message communicating this resolution.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. WISE, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX, and recognized Mr. GIBBONS and Mr. HANCOCK, each for 30 
minutes.

                            words taken down

                              (Para. 86.4)


 it is not a personality in debate to characterize as ``badgering'' a 
      colleague's questioning of a witness in a committee hearing.

 a member's comportment may constitute a breach of decorum even though 
     the content of her speech is not, in itself, unparliamentary.

 it is a breach of decorum for a member to ignore a gavel to order by 
                               the chair.

                                    

  On July 29, 1994, Ms. WATERS during one minute speeches addressed the 
House and, during the course of her remarks,
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER demanded that certain words be taken down.
  The Clerk read the words taken down as follows:

       He had to be gaveled out of order because he badgered a 
     woman who was a witness from the White House, Maggie 
     Williams. I am pleased I was able to come to her defense. 
     Madam Chairwoman, the day is over when men can badger and 
     intimidate women.
  The SPEAKER said:
  ``While in the opinion of the Chair the word `badgering' is not in 
itself unparliamentary, the Chair believes that the demeanor of the 
gentlewoman from California [Ms. Waters] was not in good order in the 
subsequent period immediately following those words having been uttered.
  ``Accordingly, the Chair rules that without leave of the House, the 
gentlewoman of California may not proceed for the rest of today. The 
Chair would ask whether there is objection to the gentlewoman from 
California receiving the right to proceed in good order.''.
  By unanimous consent, Ms. WATERS was permitted to proceed in order.

             privileges of the house--return of senate bill

                              (Para. 96.15)


      a resolution asserting that a senate amendment to a general 
appropriation bill contains provisions raising revenue in derogation of 
  the constitutional prerogative of the house to originate such bills 
gives rise to a question of the privileges of the house under rule ix. 
  the house returned to the senate a general appropriation bill with 
 sundry numbered senate amendments including one that, by proposing to 
use particularized fda user fees to finance fda activities, generally, 
                      would raise general revenue.

                                    

  On August 12, 1994, Mr. GIBBONS rose to a question of the privileges 
of the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 518):

       Resolved, That Senate amendment No. 83 to the bill H.R. 
     4554 making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural 
     Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related 
     Agencies programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
     1995, and for other purposes, in the opinion of this House, 
     contravenes the first clause of the seventh section of the 
     first article of the Constitution of the United States and is 
     an infringement of the privileges of this house and that such 
     bill with the Senate amendments thereto be respectfully re- 
     turned to the Senate with a message communicating this 
     resolution. 

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. BROWN, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX, recognized Mr. GIBBONS and Mr. THOMAS of California, each for 
30 minutes.
  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. GIBBONS, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection, and under the operation 
thereof, the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby the resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.

                             (Para. 106.20)


a motion to instruct managers on the part of the house to include in a 
  conference report a provision not committed to conference by either 
house exceeds the scope of conference in violation of clause 3 of rule 
                                xxviii.

                                    

  On September 13, 1994, on motion of Mr. MURTHA, by unanimous consent, 
the bill (H.R. 4650) making appropriations for the Department of 
Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, and for other 
purposes; together with the amendments of the Senate thereto, was taken 
from the Speaker's table, and the House disagreed to said amendments 
and agreed to the conference asked by the Senate.
  Mr. WALKER moved that the managers on the part of the House at the 
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on H.R. 4650 be 
instructed to agree to the following language:

       No funds appropriated under this Act shall be used to 
     deploy United States Armed Forces to Haiti or otherwise 
     support United States Armed Forces in Haiti for purposes of 
     removing the de facto regime or for subsequent peace keeping 
     by United States Armed Forces without first obtaining the 
     prior approval of the Congress.

                             point of order

                             (Para. 106.22)

  Mr. MURTHA made a point of order against said motion and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order against the motion to instruct 
conferees. The motion instructs conferees to include matter outside the 
scope of the conferees' authority and is in violation of clause 3, rule 
XXVIII.''.
  Mr. WALKER was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I do wish to be heard on my motion and on the point of 
order.
  ``Mr. Speaker, my dear friend, the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. 
Murtha], raises the point that the instruction that I have proposed 
falls outside the scope of the legislation that we have before us.
  ``Mr. Speaker, the problem with the gentleman's point is the fact 
that we

[[Page 2562]]

are about to engage, according to media reports and according to 
announcements from the administration, in an action in Haiti. This is 
not an action that was contemplated at the time the bills were being 
drafted either in the House or the Senate.
  ``Moreover, the troops are being deployed at the present time to 
Haiti under funds appropriated last year, none of which were for the 
purpose of an invasion of Haiti. In my view, the only place that the 
House has to legitimately address this issue is in the defense 
appropriations bill where we can limit funding if we do not believe 
that this particular action should be taken.
  ``This instruction, while it does not meet the strict interpretation 
of scope, is certainly within the scope of the moneys that are going to 
be utilized in the bill that is before us. There is no doubt that if 
this invasion takes place, the moneys that are going to be appropriated 
under this bill will be used in Haiti.
  ``This is an instruction assuring that the Congress has acted on this 
issue and assuring that none of these funds will go forward and be used 
by our Armed Forces in Haiti until there has been a prior approval by 
the Congress for that action.
  ``So I think this is a necessary action to take and conferees would 
then be authorized to place this language into the bills that come back 
for final action in the House. I would hope that the Chair would rule 
in favor of this as an entirely appropriate way for the House to engage 
in the issue of Haiti and assure that the Members of this House have 
had at least a vote on whether or not to engage in a combatant action 
in the nation of Haiti.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. ANDREWS of Texas, sustained the point of 
order and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule.
  ``The motion offered by the gentleman includes matter not within the 
scope of differences on any of the Senate amendments being sent to 
conference. The motion is, therefore, out of order under clause 3 of 
rule XXVIII.
  ``On page 715 of the Manual it is stated that a point of order may be 
sustained against a motion to instruct House conferees to address a 
matter beyond the scope of differences being committed to conference by 
the 215 Senate amendments.
  ``The Chair sustains the point of order.''.

                             (Para. 116.15)


a motion to instruct managers on the part of the house to include in a 
 conference report provisions expanding certain defined classes beyond 
   those contained in the house bill or the senate amendment thereto 
   exceeds the scope of conference in violation of clause 3 of rule

  On September 29, 1994, Mr. BRYANT, pursuant to House Resolution 550, 
called up the conference report (Rept. No. 103-750) on the bill of the 
Senate (S. 349) to provide for the disclosure of lobbying activities to 
influence the Federal Government, and for other purposes.
  When said conference report was considered.
  After debate,
  By unanimous consent, the previous question was ordered on the 
conference report to its adoption or rejection.
  Whereupon,
  Mr. GEKAS moved to recommit the conference report on S. 349 to the 
committee of conference with instructions for the managers on the part 
of the House to carry out the following:

       (1) In the proposed section 103--
       (A) strike out paragraph (8),
       (B) strike out the second sentence of paragraph (9)(A), and
       (C) strike out subparagraph (B) of paragraph (9),
       (2) Strike out paragraph (5) of section 104(b).
       (3) Strike out paragraph (6) of section 105(b).
       (4) In the proposed section 103(10)(B)(xviii), strike out 
     the material following subclause (II).
       (5) In the proposed section 103, insert before the period 
     at the end of paragraph (12) the following: ``or a person who 
     spends more than $100,000 in a 6 month period to influence 
     decisionmaking in the executive and legislative branch.''.
       (6) In the proposed section 106(c), strike paragraph (2).
       (7) In the proposed Rule XXXV of the Standing Rules of the 
     Senate strike out subparagraphs (a) and (c) of paragraph 2 
     and in clause 4 of Rule XLIII of the Rules of the House of 
     Representatives strike out paragraphs (b) and (d) of clause 
     4.
       (8) In title I redesignate sections 112 through 121 as 
     sections 113 through 122, respectively, and add after section 
     111 the following:

     SEC. 112. LEGISLATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS.

       (d) Special Form.--For purposes of reporting, the Office of

  Pending consideration of said motion,

                             point of order

                             (Para. 116.16)

  Mr. BRYANT made a point of order against the motion, and said:
  ``Madam Speaker, I make a point of order that the motion to recommit 
offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Gekas] is not in order, 
in that it instructs the conferees to carry out instructions which 
exceed the scope of the matters committed to conference. Specifically, 
the motion to recommit contains language which expands the definition 
of lobbyists and expands the definition of covered executive branch 
officials.
  ``Both of these expanded definitions exceed the scope of the matters 
committed to conference. Therefore, Madam Speaker, I insist on the 
point of order.''.
  Mr. GEKAS was recognized to speak to the point of order and said:
  ``Madam Speaker, I believe that the motion to recommit is in order. 
The important feature of the motion to recommit has to do with campaign 
contributions in which we feel that, as we argued in the well of the 
House, the big gift that we should be banning is cam- 

[[Page 2563]]

paign contributions by lobbyists, not just sandwiches.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Ms. PELOSI, sustained the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule. The gentleman from Texas [Mr. 
Bryant] makes a point of order against the motion to recommit offered 
by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Gekas].
  ``As discussed in section 26.12, chapter 33 of Procedure in the U. S. 
House of Representatives, a motion to recommit a conference report may 
not instruct House conferees to include matter beyond the scope of 
differences committed to conference by either House.
  ``The motion offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania includes 
several instructions that violate this principle. For example, the 
motion instructs conferees to expand the definition of `lobbyist' as 
defined in both the Senate bill and House amendment to include not only 
persons who spend a certain period of time engaging in lobbying 
activities while serving a client but also those who spend more than a 
certain dollar amount within a fixed period to influence decision 
making.
  ``Another example is found in the instruction that expands the 
definition of `covered executive branch official' as defined in both 
the Senate bill and House amendment to include a position in the 
executive branch that is classified at or above GS-14 of the General 
Schedule.
  ``The inclusion of even one of the above-described instructions 
provides the Chair with an adequate basis to find the entire motion out 
of order on the grounds the instructions exceed the scope of 
differences committed to conference. Accordingly, the point of order is 
sustained.''.

                             point of order

                              (Para. 119.8)


  under clause 1 of rule xx, a motion to send a bill to conference is 
always in order if the speaker, in his discretion, recognizes for that 
  purpose and the motion is offered at the direction of all reporting 
                  committees of original jurisdiction.

  under clause 1 of rule xx, a motion to send a bill to conference is 
   privileged if offered at the direction of the only committee that 
    reported thereon to the house, and need not be authorized by a 
            committee discharged from a sequential referral.

                                    

  On October 4, 1994, Mr. MILLER of California, pursuant to clause 1 of 
rule XX, and by direction of the Committee on Natural Resources moved 
to take from the Speaker's table the bill of the Senate (S. 21) to 
designate certain lands in the California Desert as wilderness, to 
establish Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and Mojave National Parks, and for 
other purposes; together with the amendments of the House thereto, 
insist upon its amendments and agree to the conference asked by 
the Senate on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses thereon.
  Pending consideration of said motion,

                             point of order

                              (Para. 119.9)

  Mr. POMBO made a point of order against the motion, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that the Committee on Merchant 
Marine and Fisheries to which the bill, S. 21, was referred, has not 
authorized the pending motion in violation of clause 1 of rule XX.''.
  Mr. MILLER of California was recognized to speak to the point of 
order and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, to make the point of order that the primary committee 
of jurisdiction was authorized to ask to go to conference.''.
  Mr. POMBO was recognized to speak further on the point of order 
against the motion, and said:
  ``Mr. Speaker, I serve on both the Committee on Natural Resources and 
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, to which S. 21 was also 
referred. Unfortunately, the referral to Merchant Marine and Fisheries 
was very short and that committee did not file a report on the bill. 
The net result is that my Merchant Marine and Fisheries colleagues did 
not have an opportunity to debate that the Committee on Merchant Marine 
and Fisheries will not have a role in making the recommendation to the 
House with regard to insisting or receding from the Senate amendments 
to S. 21.
  ``Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that, under rule XX and the 
precedents of the House, a privileged motion to go to conference must 
be authorized by both committees to which a bill has been jointly 
referred. I have been told that this precedent was decided prior to the 
time when sequential referrals were used in the House. I believe that 
the interests of the House would be best served if this interpretation 
were extended to sequential as well as joint referrals to ensure that 
all committees of jurisdiction on a bill will be treated as equal 
partners in the process.
  ``I do not believe the Speaker has yet ruled on this precise issue 
and insist on my point of order to clarify the matter.''.
  Mr. MILLER of California was recognized to speak further to the point 
of order, and said:
  ``The Committee on Natural Resources is the primary committee of 
jurisdiction here. There was a referral to the Committee on Merchant 
Marine and Fisheries. They could have exercised whatever actions they 
decided to. They did not decide to do that. By reason of the fact that 
we remain the primary committee, we have been instructed by our 
committee to go to conference on this matter.''.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. HUGHES, overruled the point of order, 
and said:
  ``The Chair is prepared to rule.
  ``The gentleman from California [Mr. Pombo] makes the point of order 
that, 
to be privileged under clause 1 of rule XX, the motion must be 
authorized not only by the Committee on Natural Resources but also by 
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
  ``Under clause 1 of rule XX, a motion to send a bill to conference is 
always in order if the Speaker, in his discretion, recognizes for that 
purpose and if the motion is made at the direction of all reporting 
committees having original jurisdiction over the bill. The Chair is 
guided by the precedent of September 26, 1978, standing for the 
proposition that the motion must be authorized by each committee of 
joint referral that has reported the measure to the House.
  ``In the instant case, the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries 
was a committee of sequential referral of the House bill and did not 
report thereon to the House. The instant motion is, therefore, offered 
at the direction of the only committee of original referral of the 
House bill, and the only committee that reported thereon to the House--
the Committee on Natural Resources. Accordingly, the motion is 
privileged under clause 1 of rule XX.
  ``The point of order is overruled.''.

             privileges of the house--return of senate bill

                              (Para. 122.8)


 a resolution asserting that a senate-passed bill contains provisions 
raising revenue in derogation of the constitutional prerogative of the 
     house to originate such bills gives rise to a question of the 
privileges of the house under rule ix. the house returned to the senate 
  a senate-passed bill to settle a certain indian boundary that would 
      exempt from taxation certain payments under the settlement.

                                    

  On October 7, 1994, Mr. GIBBONS rose to a question of the privileges 
of the House and submitted the following resolution (H. Res. 577):

       Resolved, That the bill of the Senate (S. 1216) entitled 
     the ``Crow Boundary Settlement Act of 1994'', in the opinion 
     of this House, contravenes the first clause of the seventh 
     section of the first article of the Constitution of the 
     United States and is an infringement of the privileges of 
     this House and that such bill be respectfully returned to the 
     Senate with a message communicating this resolution.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. MAZZOLI, ruled that the resolution 
submitted did present a question of the privileges of the House under 
rule IX, and recognized Mr. GIBBONS and Mr. HERGER, each for thirty 
minutes.
  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. MAZZOLI, announced that the yeas had it.
  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.
