Arlen Specter
Mr. President, I would appreciate it if Senator Simpson would clarify the intent of a provision in the conference report on H.R. 2202, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which is now Division C of H.R. 3610, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1997. I am interested in the intent of section 343 with regard to the establishment of a procedure for the approval of organizations to prescreen foreign healthcare workers.

Alan Simpson
Mr. President, it is Congress' intent that the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall establish a procedure for the review and approval of credentialing organizations equivalent to the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools for the purpose of prescreening aliens seeking to enter the United States for employment as healthcare workers. It is our intent that the Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services will actively review entities that petition to perform this prescreening and approve those that qualify.

Connie Mack III
Mr. President, my colleagues will remember that in 1992, Hurricane Andrew, one of the worst natural disasters in our Nation's history, struck the city of Homestead and South Dade County, FL with terrible flurry. Today, 4 years later, the physical devastation to the community can still be seen. The residents of the area continue to experience severe economic hardship due to the destruction of homes and businesses, the loss of income and tax revenue, and the dislocation of residents. I dare say that there are few places in the country that deserve economic development assistance more than Homestead/South Dade.

Connie Mack III
In recent years, the city of Homestead has brought forward a public/ private partnership project which promises to become a significant economic development engine for the community. The project is a 60,000 square foot motor sports exhibition and education facility to be located at the existing South Dade/Homestead Motorsports Complex. This project is expected to attract more than half a million visitors per year, generate considerable tax revenue, and create hundreds of new jobs.

Mr. President, I strongly support this project which I believe will build upon the economic development success of the Motorsports Complex. This hard-hit community is doing the right thing in putting together public-private partnerships to share the cost burden of such economic development projects. The proposal to EDA for fiscal year 1997 funds deserves favorable consideration, and I am hopeful that the chairman of the Commerce, Justice, State, and Judiciary Subcommittee will lend his support, as well, to this worthy project.

Judd Gregg
Mr. President, I would say to the Senator from Florida that I am well aware of the devastation experienced in Homestead and South Dade and the work he has done to revitalize the community. The need for further economic development assistance in the area is abundantly clear. I would, therefore, be happy to work with the Senator in brining the city of Homestead's proposal to the attention of EDA and doing what I can to see that the proposal for funding receives fair consideration.

Mr. President, one of the most egregious differences between the immigration bill passed by the Senate many months ago and the bill now thrust on us for final passage is the permanent and nationwide waiver of our environmental laws for border control activities.

Like most of the American public, I am fed up with attacks on our important environmental laws. Failing to gut the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, some Members of Congress have resorted to backdoor stealth attacks on these laws. Now Republicans include a gratuitous attach on our wildlife and ecosystems through, of all things, an immigration bill.

The nationwide scope of the environmental waivers in the immigration bill reaches far and beyond the goals of strong immigration control. By exempting all road construction, bridge construction, and barrier construction along the entire U.S. border from the Endangered Species Act, the waiver will permanently weaken national and international wildlife conservation.

Like many provisions in the immigration bill, this provision was inserted during the Republican-only House-Senate conference, and now the bill grants a permanent and nationwide waiver of the National Environmental Policy Act, the fundamental charter of our environmental protection.

Claims that the Endangered Species Act or the National Environmental Policy Act delay or stop the INS from controlling illegal immigration are wholly unsubstantiated. These laws should not be waived or exempted without full congressional consideration, hearings and public debate, and need not be waived in these circumstances.

Simply put, the ESA requires all Federal agencies to avoid adverse impacts on endangered and threatened species. Immigration and Naturalization Service staff are not biology experts. When the INS makes plans to build a road through a remote border area on public lands they consult with the Fish and Wildlife Service biologists to ensure that their plans are ecologically sound. For instance, when INS wanted to build a border bridge in Texas, biologists asked them to minimize impact on nearby wetlands by lifting the bridge out of the flood plain 2 feet. That was all that it took.

Consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service is painless -- it usually costs little in time or money to the INS, but it can mean the difference between recovery and extinction for a border species like the Sonoran Pronghorn antelope or the ocelot, an endangered cat.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has consulted with Federal agencies over 195,000 times in the last 16 years. Only 0.05 percent of those projects have been withdrawn or canceled because of the ESA. The ESA is flexible enough to accommodate even emergency situations and Fish and Wildlife biologists can review an INS construction project in a matter of hours when necessary.

The National Environmental Policy Act, signed by President Nixon in 1969, requires INS to give taxpayers a chance to review and comment on the environmental impacts of INS projects. Republicans now want to shortchange citizen's opportunities to participate in decisionmaking affecting their communities. NEPA also requires INS to examine reasonable alternatives to a project before investing taxpayer funds.

It is also flexible enough to accommodate emergency situations. For example, Bureau of Land Management recently requested an expedited NEPA review to build roads and a helicopter landing pad near the border area. It seems that high illegal alien use and high forest fire risk required quick action. The NEPA review was completed within 24 hours and the road construction took place immediately.

In a September 16 letter, Janet Reno, Bruce Babbitt, and Katie McGinty stated their unequivocal opposition to these waivers in the immigration bill. They know, as I do, that granting future Attorneys General the ability to sidestep important environmental laws will mean disaster for our Nation's environmental integrity.

The administration is currently negotiating environmental agreements with Canada and Mexico, and the passage of these waivers could undermine the future of these agreements. How can we possibly expect Mexico to take actions to protect their ecosystems on one side of the border when we so flagrantly disregard the laws protecting our own natural heritage?

I object to the immigration bill because it differs so wildly from the bill we passed earlier this year. The stealth environmental waivers in this bill are unnecessary, unjustified, and mean-spirited. They will harm our children's right to inherit an environmentally-sound nation and set a terrible precedent for environmental waivers.

Mr. President, I rise today in support of the Small Business Programs Improvement Act of 1996, which has been incorporated as division D of the omnibus appropriations bill. The language of this bill comes includes the substitute amendment to H.R. 3719, which I offered with the ranking Democrat on the Committee on Small Business, Senator Dale Bumpers. H.R. 3719 is a comprehensive bill that proposes to change numerous programs at the Small Business Administration, which are discussed in this statement. Most of the changes will go into effect on October 1, 1996.

As chairman of the Committee on Small Business, I was alarmed by the size of these increases, which were so large as to threaten the future of both programs. These two programs, however, are critical to tens of thousands of small businesses, who each year have come to rely on the availability of Government guaranteed financing to assure them adequate access to capital. They provide a very important source of capital to startup small businesses and to established small business seeking to expand to create more jobs. Because of the great importance of these programs to small businesses, the Senate and House Committees on Small Business chose to make some fundamental changes in the programs in order that they can continue through fiscal year 1997.

Last year, when the Senate unanimously adopted S. 895, we agreed to lower the government's guarantee rate on most 7(a) loans to 75 percent. Our intention was to increase SBA lenders' exposure on each loan in order to focus the lenders' attention on the quality of their loan making activities. Although this section the bill will allow SBA lenders to reduce their exposure on these loans, it is our belief that SBA can craft sufficient safeguards to protect the Government's position while granting the lenders an opportunity to raise more capital which can be loaned to small businesses. When the Senate Committee on Small Business takes up the 3-year reauthorization of SBA early next year, it will be my plan for the committee to study closely the impact of the new SBA regulations that are to be adopted as a result of this bill.

In addition, the bill directs SBA to contract with a private firm to conduct a comprehensive study of the historical performance of the 7(a) Program. Further, it directs that specific attention be paid to the economic model used by OMB to calculate the credit subsidy rate. We concurred with the House Committee on Small Business in the need for this study.

The legislation takes a strong step to make improvements in SBA's performance in this area. SBA is directed to make better use of the expertise of its most experienced lenders who have been designated "preferred lenders" within the 7(a) program. Preferred lenders have the staff and ability to take on a greater share of the burden now carried by SBA and to increase recoveries for the government after a loan fails. In addition, the bill directs SBA to begin using its licensed "certified lenders" to undertake liquidation efforts when the certified lender is deemed to have the experience and capability to undertake liquidation efforts.

In addition, the legislation extends the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program for 1 year. It is scheduled to terminate on September 30, 1996. The House-passed version of H.R. 3719 included a 4-year extension. It also included some program changes, and the supporters of the program have made additional recommendations to improve the program. There is sufficient support to keep the program alive for an additional year in order that both the Senate and House Committees on Small Business can have an opportunity to evaluate fully the impact of the program and to consider legislation to make a longer term extension with some program adjustments.

improvements to the small business investment company program Earlier this year, the Senate passed unanimously S. 1784, the Small Business Investment Company [SBIC] Improvement Act of 1996, which proposed numerous changes to the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 designed to improve, strengthen, and expand the availability of investment capital under SBA's SBIC Program. S. 1784 was considered thoroughly by the Senate Committee on Small Business. After the committee held a series of hearings on the need for improving the SBIC Program, thorough briefings were conducted for the staffs of each committee member to explain the program changes that were being recommended by committee staff, SBA, and outside organizations such as the National Association of Investment Companies [NAIC] and the National Association of Small Business Investment Companies [NASBIC].

Following the input from the above groups and others, I chaired a public hearing on a discussion draft of the bill prepared by the committee staff. After this hearing, interested parties, including SBA, NAIC, and NASBIC, were invited and participated in drafting proposed changes to the legislation for consideration by the committee staff as it prepared the final version of S. 1784.

Division D of the omnibus appropriations bill includes S. 1784, substantially in the form in which it passed the Senate. Prior to its inclusion in this bill, some inaccurate charges were made about the background and effect of S. 1784. In fact, officials from NAIC, who had participated in drafting S. 1784 and whose recommendations were included in the bill, found fault with the bill when Senator Bumpers and I attempted to bring it to the Senate floor as an amendment to H.R. 3719, the Small Business Programs Improvement Act. Their objections to the bill which they helped draft and which had previously passed the Senate unanimously led one Senator to object to Senate consideration of S. 3719.

S. 1784 was written to place the SBIC Program on a sound, long-term footing. Historically, this program has been plagued by many abuses that have been well chronicled by the press. The purpose of the bill was to strengthen the rules and management of the SBIC Program, while allowing the program to substantially to meet the investment needs of America's small businesses. With the financial future of many small businesses depending on passage of this bill, we looked for ways to clear up the objections.

In an attempt to resolve this stalemate, I agreed to several changes in the Senate-passed S. 1784 to make it absolutely clear that financially sound specialized SBIC's would not be hurt by the terms of S. 1784. Still unable to proceed with consideration of H.R. 3719, we began to hear from SBIC's and special SBIC's about the importance of passing this legislation. Their comments revealed the importance of adopting the improvements to the SBIC Program that were contained in S. 1784, and I ask unanimous consent that a letter from Mr. A. Fred March, president of Ventures Opportunities Corp., a New York-based special SBIC, be printed in the Record following my remarks.

(See exhibit 1.) Mr. President, last week as we approached the end of the 104th Congress, I decided to look for another avenue to insure that this important bill would become law. As part of this effort, I sought the support of the Senate leadership to incorporate S. 1784 in the omnibus appropriations bill. At the same time, Jan Meyers, chair of the House Committee on Small Business, undertook a similar effort in the House of Representatives, and S. 1784 was included in the omnibus appropriations bill which passed the House of Representatives on Saturday, September 28, 1996.

In 1958, Congress first approved the Small Business Investment Act creating Small Business Investment Companies, which are private investment companies licensed by SBA, whose sole activity is to make investments in small businesses. An SBIC raises private capital which is matched by additional funds guaranteed by SBA. The private capital and SBA-guaranteed funds are invested by SBIC's in small businesses.

SBIC's fill a void that is not addressed by private venture capital firms, most of which are so large they are usually unwilling to make investments in smaller firms, which generally seek investments in the range of $500,000 to $2.5 million each. Since the beginning of the SBIC program, nearly $12 billion has been invested in approximately 77,000 small businesses. Some SBIC's make equity investments in small businesses, while others make long-term loans, which are frequently coupled with rights to purchase an equity interest in the company -- sometimes called warrants. The lending-type or debenture SBIC's provide long-term financing that is generally not available from banks or private venture capital firms.

Today's SBIC Program has been shaped in large part by the Small Business Equity Enhancement Act of 1992. The genesis of this important legislation resulted from the hard work of SBA's Investment Capital Advisory Council, a public-private working group formed in 1991 to address the problems confronting the SBIC Program. The 1992 act produced the first major change in the SBIC Program since its formation in 1958. It created the Participating Security Program, which incorporates some of the best practices of the private venture capital industry. The 1992 act came about in response to the persistence of my good friend and colleague from Arkansas, Senator Bumpers, who as the chairman of the Committee on Small Business held a series of hearings focusing attention on the problems under the program. The result of the act was to strengthen the SBIC Program and to correct serious weaknesses that had been expected by well publicized problems of the past.

There is a significant difference between the SBIC's licensed before the 1992 act and the SBIC's licensed under the most strict guidelines set forth under the 1992 act. While the 1992 act increased the minimum private capital threshold for licensing to $2.5 million for each debenture SBIC and $5 million for each new participating security SBIC, SBA has imposed even more strict standards in its regulations. Under the SBA rules, debenture SBIC's must have a minimum of $5 million in private capital and participating security SBIC's must have $10 million in private capital.

Since the 1992 act has created two distinct types of SBIC's, it allows for investments to be tailored to meet the needs of small businesses. For example, when a small business needs a loan and can meet projected interest payments, the traditional lending-type or debenture SBIC's are available to make debt investments. For small businesses that need non-interest-bearing investment capital, the participating security SBIC's can offer an equity-type investment which anticipates an extended period of time, such as 2 to 3 years, before the small business is expected to being repayment of this investment. In this latter case, interest payments are deferred until the investments begin to generate a positive return. Under the Participating Security Program, the Federal Government's return is not limited to repayment of principal and interest -- it can also share in the profits of the SBIC.

During this Congress, I have chaired three hearings investigating the success and problems associated with the SBIC Program. Testimony before the Senate Committee on Small Business has been supportive and positive. Numerous small business entrepreneurs have testified about their inability to obtain investment capital from banks and other traditional investment sources, and SBIC's are frequently their only source of investment capital. Last year, Jerry Johnson, the chief executive office of Williams Brothers Lumber Co. located near Atlanta, testified that not one bank in the Atlanta area would speak with him about asset based lending. After a lengthy search, he and his partner turned to Allied Capital Corp., a Washington, D.C.-based SBIC. Within 60 days of their first contact with Allied Capital Corp., Mr. Johnson was able to conclude his financing arrangement. Being able to clear this financing hurdle with the help of an SBIC, Mr. Johnson's company has grown significantly, adding many new employees and increasing its tax base.

Often we hear about major success stories like Federal Express and the Callaway Golf Club Co. that received SBIC funding at critical times in their early growth stages. It is, however, far more likely that businesses like the Williams Brothers Lumber Co. will be typical beneficiaries of the SBIC Program. These are Main Street enterprises located across America who have looked to traditional money sources and been turned away. The SBIC Program is filling this niche -- a large niche to say the least -- that picks up where banks fear to tread and Wall Street is not interested because the investment size is too small. There are thousands of companies like Williams Brothers Lumber Co. across the country that need investment financing to support growth and new jobs and have nowhere to turn but to the SBIC Program to meet their demand for capital During the past year, the Senate and House Committees on Small Business have received a great deal of information about the need to strengthen the SBIC Program. In July 1995, Patricia Cloherty, chair of SBA's private sector SBIC Reinvention Council, testified on the council's recommendation to strengthen and expand the program. In addition, last summer the National Association of Investment Companies forwarded to the Senate Committee on Small Business a copy of their recommendations to improve the SSBIC program, which was also submitted to SBA's SSBIC Advisory Council.

The involvement of the private sector in analyzing the performance of the SBIC program and the insight provided by these recommendations are commendable -- and very helpful to this committee. In 1995, the SBIC Reinvention Council recommended that new fees be imposed to lower the credit subsidy rate so that the program can provide a significant increase in leverage to licensed SBIC's. It also recommended certain administrative changes to improve the management and operations of the SBIC Program.

The National Association of Investment Companies [NAIC], which represents SSBIC's, also recommended in 1995 that all statutory and regulatory distinctions between SBIC's and SSBIC's be eliminated, including the deletion of all references to social or economic disadvantage from the Small Business Investment Act. NAIC proposed creating a single, combined SBIC Program that would retain an important focus on investments in small business at the smaller end of the eligible size standards. They recommended sensible improvements to make more investment capital available to more small businesses and proposed to remove the current restrictions that prohibit Specialized SBIC's from investing in companies not owned by socially or economically disadvantaged persons. This legislation includes many of their recommendations.

The administration's recommendation to lower the credit subsidy rate by increasing fees is similar to one made last year in their amended fiscal year 1996 budget request for the 7(a) Guaranteed Business Loan Program. Accompanying their request for a fee increase were statements by SBA about how well the 7(a) program was performing.

What happened following SBA's positive predictions for the 7(a) program has been alarming. Based in part on SBA's glowing report card on the 7(a) program, Congress passed legislation to raise fees and lower the subsidy rates of the program. The changes became law in October 1995, which is about the same time SBA and OMB were beginning to work on their most recent budget request which raises the 7(a) credit subsidy rate by 150 percent and the cost of the program by $180 million. This higher cost is the direct result of greater losses from loan defaults and lower recoveries from liquidations.

The Senate and House Committees on Small Business believe it is prudent for Congress to take steps so that we do not allow a repeat of the 7(a) problem with the SBIC Program. Based on the experience of last year, Congress should not approve any decrease in the credit subsidy rate through the increase of fees without taking some corresponding steps to strengthen the safety and soundness of the SBIC Program.

In addition, SBA needs to take a hard look at how it manages failed SBIC's that are in receivership. It is not a sufficient explanation for SBA to claim it is at the mercy of the court system in winding up the affairs of SBIC's in receivership. In each case, the court acts in response to SBA's petition, has named SBA the receiver, and SBA has retained independent contractors to act as principal agents for the receivership. These principal agents are paid hourly and appear to have little or no incentive to wind up the affairs of an SBIC. In fact, the opposite is true, and the real incentive appears to be to drag out the receivership as long as possible. Based on SBA replies to requests for information from the Committee on Small Business, we have learned that these principal receivers agents bill significant hours each year. In fiscal year 1995, one principal agent billed over 3,200 hours for one year, the equivalent of over 8 hours per day for 365 days. Other principal agents billed over 2,500 hours each for fiscal year 1995.

At the time of the committee's inquiry into these billing practices, SBA gave no indication that it felt they were unusual. It is clear to me that without incentives to complete action on these SBIC's in receivership, the current system used by SBA will allow these abuses to continue. Although the committee did not reach a consensus on my proposal to create an incentive based system to improve recoveries from SBIC's in receivership, we will continue to monitor SBA's performance closely in this area.

For several months starting late last year, the Senate Committee on Small Business worked on draft legislation to strengthen and enhance the SBIC Program. The small business investment company improvements section of this bill is the result. It incorporates recommendations from SBA's SBIC Reinvention Council, the National Association of Investment Companies, the National Association of Small Business Investment Companies, and the President's fiscal year 1997 budget request.

Legislation essentially equivalent to the SBIC provisions of this bill was approved by the Senate Committee on Small Business by a unanimous 18 to zero vote and later was passed unanimously by the full Senate. It makes substantial progress toward our goal of strengthening the SBIC Program, while allowing the program to expand, providing more investment capital to small businesses as the cost and risk to the Government declines. It was only after nearly 18 months of study and investigation that we were able to produce such a bill. It is sound legislation that improves the safety and soundness of the SBIC Program and makes more investment capital available to small businesses. And it accomplishes all of these goals while reducing the risk of loss to the Government.

Mr. President, I was pleased to see that the House of Representatives incorporated the Small Business Administration authorization bill into the omnibus appropriation bill. This is important legislation. Before we go to final passage of the appropriation bill, I wonder if I could get the distinguished chairman of the Small Business Committee, Senator Bond, to comment on a proposal I have, related to small business development centers.

I thank the Senator, and I will be brief. Very simply, my proposal would create a 1-year pilot program aimed at linking SBDC's with export assistance centers.

Right now, some 35 colleges and universities across the country have both an SBDC and an export assistance center on their campus. Bryant College in Rhode Island is one such facility. The folks up there have done a super job on behalf of our State's small businesses. But in no instance that I am aware of are two of these important facilities connected to each other. I think a lot of good could come out of taking that step. Therefore, my proposal would permit eligible SBDC's to do two things: one, hire export professionals to work on-site, and two, make the technological adjustments necessary to establish a computer link with an export assistance center.

One of the key services offered by the export assistance centers is access to a system called the International Trade Data Network. The ITDN works as follows. A small businessperson will come into an export assistance center, anxious to learn how to export a particular product. And by logging on to this system, the individual can find out what countries are interested in that product with a just few simple keystrokes. As I understand it, a small businessperson can even get information about potential contracts.

Unfortunately, under the contract arrangement, it is impossible to connect to that computer network at the SBDC. Instead, the individual must find the closest export assistance center, and develop a relationship with an entirely different staff, in order to learn what international trade opportunities might be available. The ITDN has proven to be a very successful tool for opening foreign trade markets. In my view, therefore, small businesses in Rhode Island and States across the country stand to benefit greatly from better access to it.

Now, my preference would have been to offer this proposal as an amendment to the SBA authorization bill. I understand, however, that the chairman and the members of the committee would like more time to mull over the idea before signing on to it. In that case, I wonder if the chairman would be willing to consider including the SBDC proposal in next year's bill?

As my friend from Rhode Island may know, the Senate Small Business Committee is scheduled to undertake a regular, 3-year authorization of our small business programs early next year. I long have been a strong supporter of efforts to increase American exports, particularly when it comes to small businesses. For this reason, I want to assure the Senator that the committee will take a hard look at this SBDC proposal as part of our review process. We would welcome his input at that time.

Mr. President, I would like to clarify the intent of the chairman of the Small Business Committee with respect to language in division D of the omnibus appropriation bill, which incorporates the Senate substitute amendment to H.R. 3719 relating to the sale of the unguaranteed portion of loans made under the 7(a) program. It is my understanding that until the Small Business Administration issues a new, final regulation setting forth the terms and conditions under which the unguaranteed portion of 7(a) loans may be permitted, or until March 31, 1997, whichever is earlier, lenders currently eligible to securitize may continue to do so under the existing regulation.

My colleague from new Jersey is correct. The securitization language contained in this legislation in no way preempts the existing SBA regulations that currently apply to participants in the 7(a) program on the sale of the unguaranteed portion of such loans until SBA finalizes a new regulation on this matter or until March 31, 1997, whichever occurs first.

While section 114 slightly amends the Elwha Act, it also sustains and confirms the Elwha Act itself. The amendment simply provides for one new option in this restoration process: The State of Washington may purchase the dams for $2 after the Federal Government has bought them for $29.5 million from the current private owner.

Should the State wish to acquire two aging dams, it must enter into an agreement with the Secretary of the Interior to discharge all of the obligations of the Federal Government, as established in the Elwha Act. Although it is almost impossible to envision a basis on which the State might choose to purchase these projects, this amendment at least makes such a decision possible.

It is important to reiterate, the State may acquire the dams only if it agrees to remove the two dams, restore the fisheries, provide numerous tribal obligations, protect the local water quality, and do everything the Federal Government was committed to doing under the original Elwha Act. I specifically want to stress that the State must undertake all of the obligations of the Act, including section 3 (a), (c), and (d), as well as sections 4, 7, and 9.

In case my colleagues were not aware of the current State responsibilities for fisheries in Washington, the State manages fishery resources within State waters. It is required to manage these resources in a manner consistent with the Boldt decision regarding tribal treaty rights to fishery resources. The obligations under the Elwha Act are far more expansive.

I need to clarify a mistake made this weekend. Senator Gorton and my staff agreed Friday to report language that provided: "None of the requirements of the Elwha Act are changed unless the State elects to exercise its option to purchase and remove the projects." As a colloquy between Senator Gorton and myself at the end of the bill reflects, that is the intent of the managers.

This colloquy makes clear an implied intention of the amendment: If the State does not exercise its new option, then the Secretary and the United States remain fully obligated under this act to acquire the dams, remove them, restore the river's ecosystem and fisheries, and deal honorably with the tribes. Until such time as the binding agreement provided for in this amendment is offered by the State and approved by the Federal Government, the Federal Government must continue to carry out its responsibilities under the Elwha Act with all due speed.

I do not support the approach taken by this amendment. However, my solace lies in my belief that the State would not -- and should not -- accept this option. Restoration of the Elwha ecosystem is a Federal responsibility. It is on Federal land, in one of this nation's most amazing parks and rainforests, the Olympic National Park. Only the Federal Government is responsible, via its trust obligations, to the S'Klallam people who have sacrificed so much as others have destroyed an historic religious and cultural icon, the abundant salmon runs of the Elwha.

Despite reservations about this amendment, I am pleased with the true appropriations work done in this bill, that is allocation of funds to acquire these dams. I strongly support the $4 million appropriated for fiscal year 1997. The Congress provided the same amount last year. I look forward to working to ensure the next administration demonstrates its commitment to this project with a substantial increase in its budget request for this important fisheries restoration project.

The Elwha River and ecosystem are precious to the tribes, environmentalists, Olympic Peninsula communities, commercial and sport fishers, and other people throughout the region and country. This river system was one of the most productive salmon rearing and spawning resources in the Pacific Northwest. Today, those fisheries are devastated. I appreciate the nearly $300,000 allocated in this bill for emergency measures to provide some relief for species currently imperiled.

I have come to the floor myself several times these past 2 years to talk about our children's future. Since January of last year, when the House voted to cut school lunches and other nutrition programs; to this past spring, when I reported on my children's forums in Washington State; to just a month ago, when the Senate finally voted to require hospitals to allow new mothers to spend at least 48 hours in the hospital when delivering a baby, I have been a frequent and avid speaker on issues affecting children and families.

I have always tried to present children's issues in three basic categories: Their health, their education, and their ability to contribute to society in the long term. In my view, those ideas are pretty straightforward: every child has a right to good health; every child has a right to an education; and every child has a right to grow up in strong, nurturing communities. The cycle is simple: a child who is healthy is able to learn; a learned child is able to participate in society; a society of contributing adults is able to uphold its responsibilities to the children. Again, and again, and again.

This has been a very strange 2 years for children's policy. There have been great victories, such as health insurance portability and mandatory maternity care. Threats have been turned aside, such as cuts in school lunches, jeopardizing Medicaid services for children, and elimination of the Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program. And there have been defeats -- reductions in student loans and direct lending, and a radical welfare bill that leaves millions of poor children in limbo.

As we near the end of the 104th Congress, I would like to take a moment to explore some of the highs and lows for children, some of the accomplishments we have made that will help children, and some of the problems we still face, and which will require our continuing attention in the next Congress.

In infant health, the Healthy Start Program has made significant gains against infant mortality in several high-rate communities around the Nation. In spite of initial attempts to cut it, Healthy Start funding was increased from $75 million to $96 million. Healthy Start has proven itself across partisan lines by creating effective models for other communities. And, like many other children's health programs, it is very deserving of an increase.

Arguably, this program has done more for young children in terms of getting them healthy and ready for school than any other. It demands to be retained and expanded. The level of $3.98 billion in this bill will allow the program to keep pace with inflation. This is good, but this will be an obvious program to expand next year.

In the area of education funding, once Head Start has readied children for school, we must make sure they stay on equal footing with their peers. One way to do this is to assure they have access to educational technology. If we do not continue to give students access to the technology of today, they will not be able to get or hold the jobs of tomorrow. I am glad the appropriations bill continues our investments in new education technology and technology challenge grants.

We have made other positive efforts this year, such as my legislation which will put surplus government computers in schools. But these efforts will be less effective unless we are also investing in new technology, including networking capability, new hardware and software, and teacher training that schools will need to succeed.

The Safe and Drug Free Schools Program also fares better under this bill than I had hoped. This program increased by $56 million, which pays for educational curriculum specifically designed to give students options to the violence and drug use we see young people combat daily in today's society. Every school district in the country gets some of this money, because there is no community in which drugs do not present a threat to the potential of young Americans.

Beyond technology, funding the School-to-Work Program is vital. School-to-Work shows students the connection between what they learn in the classroom and what they must know in the workplace. These programs have been funded at $400 million, which is a $50 million improvement over last year's level. There is no better investment we can make for the 75 percent of high school graduates who do not end up with a college degree.

When it comes to education, we too often forget adult students. In most areas of this bill, we were only able to hold the line, and to survive. But in at least one area that is supported by Members of both parties, we were able to provide a much-needed increase for adult basic education -- adult literacy. The students here are some of the most heroic people in our country.

Many adults in this country are unable to read to their own children, or are faced with tests in the workplace that mean the difference between employment and unemployment. It is very difficult for these same adults to go to programs at their local community college, or run by a nonprofit organization, and learn to read. It is truly courageous. As they learn, they get better jobs, they provide better help to their children in school, and they contribute more to our society. This was a great next step; but especially with the welfare bill taking effect now and in the near future, we need to do more.

In areas of citizenship, one of our best investments is Americorps. Americorps builds on the best traditions of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the G.I. bill, and the Peace Corps, by rewarding people for working to improve their communities. It was eliminated in the House version of the VA-HUD bill, so I am glad to see that Americorps programs were returned to their 1996 levels. We should have new investments here, but at least we are continuing our investment.

In basic child health, child immunization funding is $20 million lower than the level necessary. To underfund such a vital area, when we have seen outbreaks of measles and other diseases in my State and around the Nation, is a move I do not understand and find troubling. We must move forward, and expand immunization to deal with the needs we know are out there. The prevention we provide, compared to the cost of treating the diseases we allow, is not only cost effective, but also the right thing to do. Additional appropriations would allow us to fund the infrastructure, education, and registries which would get immunizations to the underserved children who need them most.

On education, the huge task before us is in the area of teacher training. Goals 2000 was increased in this appropriations bill, but Eisenhower professional development activities were cut this year. If our schools succeed in the next century in teaching job and thinking skills to students, it will be because of our teachers.

Our current teaching corps is aging and many will soon be retiring. Research shows that for one teacher to learn one new skill that she or he can reproduce in the classroom, they need to spend several hours practicing that skill under supervision of a master teacher.

When I look at the investments we must make to allow young people to be the best possible citizens in our communities, I see that the Senate has again made a mistake. The Summer Youth Employment Program is funded equal to 1996 funding, but here is one area where extra investment truly would pay off with results for our communities. Young people are always telling adults that they do not have anything to do, especially when school is out. Summer Youth Employment helps teach the skills of work and work attitudes that will reduce violence, and improve young people's confidence and self-control. Earlier versions of the bill would have meant 134,000 fewer jobs for young people this summer. When we are all working so hard to keep young people involved and interested in productive activities, this cut is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

Children and young people deserve their Senator's very best decisionmaking. I would argue that children and young people need our attention and best efforts more than any other group of people in our country. What we have done here in this Appropriations Act, is to reject the open assaults on children's programs we saw earlier in this Congress. In order to get beyond a survival level, to a place where we can say we are actually investing in the future, we must expand funding in preventive areas: in access to preventive health services, in the improvement of teacher training, and in the expansion of productive activities for youth.

This Congress has shown that it can muster the foresight and compassion it takes to deal with issues affecting children. This Congress has also made some decisions I fear may have disturbing effects on countless young people. I have worked hard during this Congress, as have others, to do the very best for all of our children. Let us build upon this fiscal year 1997 Appropriations Act, so our actions will be remembered well by this Nation's children when they are old enough to vote.

Funding for Amtrak's capital accounts has followed a very torturous path this year. The administration's budget request for fiscal year 1997 embodied its endorsement of the concept that Amtrak should strive for self-sufficiency -- that it should be free of a Federal operating subsidy within the next 6 years.

The administration recognizes that the key to self sufficiency for the railroad is substantially increased investment in its capital plant -- that a self sufficient Amtrak will require state-of-the-art, first-class, reliable equipment -- clean stations and modern, efficient service.

Unfortunately, our House colleagues met this challenge with a transportation bill that singled out Amtrak for devastating cuts. The House-passed transportation appropriations bill slashed Amtrak capital funding by $145 million, more than 42 percent -- providing zero for the Northeast Corridor Improvement Program -- [NECIP].

While the conference agreement on the regular transportation appropriations bill was still a substantial improvement upon the House- passed bill, funding for NECIP ended up 42 percent below the President's request.

During conference on the regular fiscal year 1997 transportation bill, I stated I would seek additional funding for NECIP in the continuing resolution. So I was pleased to work with Chairman Hatfield to construct a provision for this continuing resolution that added $60 million to NECIP while simultaneously providing $22.5 million to keep several routes in operation -- routes in various parts of our country that were slated for termination due to Amtrak's current financial difficulties. This funding was completely offset with a series of noncontroversial rescissions.

Mr. President, I have said time and time again that the key to Amtrak's future is the expeditious completion of the major infrastructure improvements in the Northeast corridor. Amtrak's own studies indicate that all of the increased revenue Amtrak can hope to capture in the near term will come from the Northeast corridor.

But as we work to keep the national Amtrak network together and avoid route terminations, it has to be recognized that the key to Amtrak's self sufficiency -- the key to Amtrak generating enough revenue to operate lines throughout the Midwest and the West, is adequate funding for Amtrak's Northeast corridor.

This is not just the opinion of a Senator from the Northeast. It is written clearly across Amtrak's balance sheet. The Northeast corridor carries half of all of Amtrak's riders and generates well over half of Amtrak's passenger-related revenues.

Indeed, Amtrak's President, Tom Downs, recently testified to the Senate Commerce Committee that, were it not for the recent positive financial performance of the Northeast corridor, the trains that were slated for termination in the next few months would have been terminated several months ago.

As such, I am very pleased that this continuing resolution includes our amendment providing the additional $82.5 million for Amtrak, including the additional $60 million for NECIP. This will bring the final funding level for NECIP to $175 million. While this is still $25 million below the administration's request, it is well above last year's level.

This funding is essential to assure the development of efficient high-speed rail service throughout the entire Northeast before the end of the century. It will be that kind of service that will produce the revenue to allow Amtrak to avoid service cuts elsewhere in the country.

Contained in the general provisions of the bill relating to the Interior Department appropriations and the narrative which accompanies section 330, is a colloquy that I engaged in with Senators Pell and Chafee on September 15, 1988.

Should the inclusion of this colloquy in the measure be perceived as an indication of my support for this provision, I feel that I must set the record straight.

I believe that the record should show that at the time of our colloquy, there was an underlying premise upon which our discussion was based, which I have since learned, was erroneous.

That underlying premise was that there had been no intervening events of legal significance that would warrant any change in the provisions of the Rhode Island Indian Claims Settlement Act.

At the time that the Rhode Island Indian Claims Settlement was agreed to in 1978, the Narragansett people were organized as a State-chartered corporation. Given that status, it is perhaps understandable that the settlement act provided for the extension of State criminal, civil, and regulatory laws to the settlement lands.

But in 1983, the Narragansett Indian Tribe achieved federally- recognized status, and in 1988, a few days before the September 15, 1988 colloquy, the tribe's settlement lands were taken into trust by the United States.

These two intervening events are important because federally- recognized status generally confers upon tribes exclusive jurisdiction over their lands, and when their lands are taken into trust, the protections of Federal law are extended to the lands, and the combination of Federal and tribal law and jurisdiction over the lands acts to pre-empt the application of State laws to such lands.

Indeed, the legal significance of these intervening events was of such import, that in 1994, the First Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that the provisions of the Rhode Island Indian Claims Settlement Act were affected by the two events, and that the State no longer has exclusive jurisdiction over the settlement lands. The first circuit held, instead, that the State's jurisdiction was concurrent with that of the Narragansett tribe.

Let us be clear about what section 330 of the Omnibus Appropriations measure has as its objective -- it will effect a return to the State of the law as it was in 1978, notwithstanding the fact that the tribe is now federally-recognized and would otherwise enjoy the status of other federally-recognized tribes, and notwithstanding the fact that the tribe's settlement lands are now held by the United States in trust for the tribe and would otherwise not be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Rhode Island.

Some might question why this extraordinary action is being taken -- why this provision was so important that the jurisdiction of the authorizing committees was circumvented and this amendment to substantive law, which by the way, has absolutely nothing to do with the appropriation of funds in fiscal year 1997 -- was included in this spending bill. The answer, as I understand it, is to prevent the tribe from operating a bingo hall on tribal lands.

In my 17 years of service on the Committee on Indian Affairs, in my 8 years of service as the committee's chairman, and for the last 2 years, as the committee's vice-chairman, I have, for the most part, been proud of the manner in which the United States has dealt with the Indian nations on a government-to-government basis.

We have attempted to reverse or at a minimum address the effects of some of the darker chapters of our history as a Nation when it comes to our treatment of the indigenous people of this land. We have resolved to consult with them on any law or policy which will affect their lives or their Governments, and indeed, Federal law requires that we do so.

But today over the strenuous and adamant objections of this tribe, we are enacting into law a provision that holds the potential to forever change their lives, without the benefit of hearings, in the absence of any record that would serve to justify our action, and without any consultation with the affected tribe.

I have advised my colleagues from Rhode Island that I could not support this provision. I also so advised the President of the United States, the minority leader, and the Members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. And so, Mr. President, it will come as no surprise to my colleagues, when I state my intention, as I do today, to call for hearings early in the next session of the Congress on this matter.

And further, I want to put others on notice that as long as I continue to serve in this body, the action we approve today, will not serve as a precedent for similar action affecting other tribes, nor will it define the manner in which we deal with the Indian people.

Mr. President, our constitution establishes a distinctively different framework for our relations with the Indian tribes, and 200 years of Federal law and policy have been constructed on that foundation. We are a Nation which prides ourselves on our honor and integrity in our dealings with all people. We owe no less to this Nation's first Americans.

This bill addresses Democratic priorities. Democrats are working for health security, paycheck security, personal security and national security. The American people have made clear that these Democratic priorities are theirs as well. So I am pleased that this bill provides support for programs in each of these areas.

Let me speak first about health security. I am pleased that health programs will receive increased funding so that scientists and researchers can continue to search for the cure for diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Funding for the National Institutes of Health is increased. Funding for breast cancer research, AIDS and childhood immunization all receive needed funds to continue critical life saving work.

This funding is particularly important for Maryland, both in terms of the number of jobs generated by the NIH and the impact of the research. Institutions such as Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland fund critical research programs through the NIH. Keeping the funding at needed levels for the NIH will truly save lives and save jobs in Maryland.

Democrats also value economic security, and know that support for education is a key part of the opportunity structure that will create jobs now and in the future. I strongly support the education spending levels in this bill. The bill increases education spending over Fiscal year 1996 levels for key programs, including Goals 2000, Safe and Drug Free Schools, Title I, the Pell Grant program, and the TRIO Program.

For my State of Maryland, this means additional funds for cash- strapped local school districts. Maryland will receive nearly $7 million for Goals 2000 reforms. These funds will enable local school districts to implement curriculum reform efforts to raise academic standards.

I am pleased that funding for safe and drug free schools has increased. Maryland will receive over $7 million to help combat crime and drugs in schools. Title I is an important program to help disadvantaged students learn basic reading and math skills. Maryland will receive $91 million for title I funding. Pell Grant funding has increased to $2,700 for low-income college students. This means more funds will be available for thousands of Maryland college students.

In addition to increased education funding levels, the omnibus spending bill increases funding for the Department of Labor's job training program and dislocated worker assistance program. I strongly support these initiatives, because thousands of Maryland residents will continue to receive job training assistance and help with job search and relocation assistance.

Perhaps most significant is that funding for the COPS program is preserved. This program has been one of the great successes in fighting crime. Thanks to this program, over 900 new police officers are patrolling the streets in Maryland's cities and towns. I am a strong supporter of this program because it is making a real difference -- protecting our communities by putting more cops on the beat. This bill also includes more money to fund the Violence Against Women Act, and funds to fight juvenile crime and keep our kids away from drugs through drug prevention programs.

This bill also addresses important national security concerns. It funds the President's antiterrorism initiatives. It is a sad day that we must face the reality that terrorism has come to our communities. We must ensure that we do not experience another Oklahoma City. The best way to fight terrorism is to prevent it. This legislation takes concrete steps to prevent terrorism by upgrading the security of our public buildings, increasing our intelligence capability, and expanding the number of criminal investigators to fight and prevent terrorism.

So key Democratic priorities are well-funded in this legislation. People will be safer in their homes and their communities, critical health research will be supported, and education and training so vital to a promising economic future will be provided. These are mainstream American values, and I am pleased to see that these values are implicit in this legislation.

In addition to providing appropriations for the agencies and Departments of the Federal Government for which individual appropriations were not approved, this bill also contains a major authorizing program. I refer to the illegal immigration bill. I am pleased that the negotiations on this portion of the bill have produced a measure which is tough on those who violate our immigrations laws, but which is not punitive to those who have entered this country legally.

The illegal immigration legislation will strengthen our efforts to prevent undocumented immigrants from entering our country and obtaining employment. It will increase border patrols, create a voluntary pilot program for employment verification, and require additional INS investigators .

I had strong reservations about the conference report on this bill because of provisions which would have denied Federal assistance to legal immigrants. After all, legal immigrants have played by the rules, they pay taxes just like any U.S. citizen, and they contribute to the economy. I am pleased that the concerns I had have been addressed in this final compromise measure.

Under this compromise, we now focus on putting a halt to illegal immigration, which was our goal when we passed the Senate version of the bill. It is especially important that the so-called Gallegly amendment was dropped. Many of us were strongly opposed to this provision which would have denied a public education to illegal immigrant children. Children should not be punished for the errors of their parents.

I am very disappointed that we were not able to include the Senate- passed provisions for those seeking political asylum. The United States has always reached out to those fleeing persecution. The Leahy amendment which the Senate approved would have made sure that people seeking asylum were treated fairly. It would have given them the time they needed to present their case, and ensured that no Immigration official could send them back to their country without a fair hearing. It is disappointing that this good provision was not included in the measure. I hope we will be able to take care of this problem in the next Congress.

This omnibus appropriations bill represents the triumph of mainstream values. It rejects extremism. It addresses the concerns of America's families. The funding it provides for programs important to personal security, to national security, to economic security, and to health security ensure that we keep the promises we have made to help our working families and senior citizens. So I will vote to support this bill, and hope my colleagues will join me.

Mr. President, I am pleased to announce our success in passing the Shelby-Mack regulatory relief bill which is included as part of the omnibus appropriations bill. This bill will allow banks to devote additional resources to productive activities, such as making loans and extending credit to small businesses and potential homeowners. This hard fought, thoroughly debated legislation streamlines disclosure requirements, eliminates duplicative regulation and removes unnecessary filing and record keeping requirements.

I have been working diligently on a regulatory relief package for many years. It is only with tireless effort, conviction in market principles, and the blessing of a Republican Congress have we been able to turn the tides of banking legislation and provide significant regulatory relief for America's financial sector. In doing so, we have strengthened America's banking system and produced an environment conducive to competing in the rapidly changing, global financial market.

While I am convinced this bill will encourage economic growth and opportunity, by no means do I believe our job in Congress is complete. Over the years, we have witnessed an accumulation of banking laws with complete disregard to the burden it has placed on financial institutions and with very little value-added in terms of safety and soundness. I continue to believe that a more thoughtful structure of banking laws accentuating free market principles and jettisoning the heavy hand of Government regulation is the only way to ensure American financial institutions have the ability to complete in the dynamic marketplace of the 21st century. The Shelby-Mack bill is just the first deregulation bill a Republican Congress will give the American people. Next year I intend to move forward with another bill to increase the access of credit to consumers as well as strengthen the safety and soundness of the U.S. financial system.

In particular, the Community Reinvestment Act [CRA] places an enormous regulatory burden on banks -- especially small banks. The truth of the matter is that banking, financial and labor regulations drive up the cost of low and moderate income housing for the very people they are intended to help. Indeed, Federal Reserve Governor Lawrence Lindsey has stated that "[a]n urban policy that increases the flexibility and creativity allowable under CRA and recognizes the wide variety of financial services and the enormous diversity of the markets involved could be a powerful tool to those in the business of community development." It is my intention to address these regulatory inequities in the 105th Congress.

As you know, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rules that CERCLA does not authorize EPA to issue binding rules that define the scope of liability under Superfund. Kelley v. EPA, 15 F.3d 1100 (D.C. Cir. 1994), 25 F.3d 1088 (D.C. Cir. 1994). Title V of this bill gives EPA limited and specific rulemaking authority on two narrow issues. The first one is the recognition of additional fiduciary capacities under new section 107(n)(5)(a)(i)(XI) of CERCLA. The second one is the involuntary acquisition of property by the United States Government under 40 CFR section 300.1105.

It is my understanding that in granting EPA the authority to issue rules on these two narrow issues, title V does not in any way disturb the central holding in the Kelley case, namely that absent a specific delegation, that CERCLA, today, or as amended by this act, does not authorize EPA to issue rules defining the scope of CERCLA liability. I would like to confirm that my interpretation is the correct one, in order to avoid possible confusion and uncertainty in the future.

Finally, it is also my understanding that title V does not seek to confer upon EPA the authority to issue rules on any Superfund liability issues other than those actually specified in this bill. I would like to confirm this important point so that the actions of the Congress in adopting this legislation are not misinterpreted in the future.

And, would the chairman further agree, in determining the fiduciary's liability, the language is meant to apply to the value of the assets after any improvement due to any cleanup activity which may be undertaken? In fact, Mr. Chairman, it is the intent of this entire provision to create incentives for cleanup and the productive reuse of contaminated properties.

Mr. President, I rise today to discuss language that has been included in the continuing resolution regarding clarifications to the liability of lending institutions under Superfund. During the past year, I have been working closely with Senator John Chafee, the chairman of the Environment Committee, to enact comprehensive legislation to reform the Superfund program. The bill we introduced, S. 1285, the Accelerated Cleanup and Environmental Restoration Act of 1996, includes language to address the issue of lender liability. A version of our lender liability language is contained in the continuing resolution that we will be voting on today.

Unfortunately, S. 1285 will not make it into law before we adjourn. Despite months of daily negotiations with Senator Max Baucus, the ranking member of the Environment Committee, Senator Frank Lautenberg, the ranking member of the Superfund Subcommittee, as well as representatives of the Clinton administration, we were unable to obtain bipartisan agreement on this legislation. This is unfortunate, because I fervently believe that the Superfund program is badly in need of reform.

During the 104th Congress, Senator Chafee and I actively opposed efforts to carve out various liability concerns, deciding instead that issues such as lender liability should be included in a comprehensive reform package. Nonetheless, after discussing this issue personally with Senator Alphonse D'Amato, the chairman of the Banking Committee, both Senator Chafee and I agreed that we would have our respective staff work together to include the provision contained in the continuing resolution. So, while I am saddened that we could not enact comprehensive Superfund reform legislation, I am pleased that we are able to address the problem of lender liability this year.

I would like to take a few minutes to discuss why this language is so important. As many of my colleagues may know, liability under Superfund is strict, retroactive, joint and severe. As Superfund has been interpreted by the courts, banks that merely take possession of Superfund contaminated property by foreclosure, risk the possibility that they themselves could be held liable for any cleanup that may be required. Thus, a lender who had no direct involvement at the site could be on the hook for cleanup costs far exceeding the original value of the underlying property.

Because of the specter of potential Superfund liability, financial credit that is needed for redevelopment or cleanup is not extended. The results of the current liability provisions are all too evident. Homeowners cannot refinance homes, brownfields sit uselessly in our cities, and companies do not take part in voluntary cleanups for want of funds.

The language that Senator D'Amato and I have included in the continuing resolution moves to correct this situation by clarifying when a lender is liable for environmental contamination. Lenders will not be liable unless they take an active role in management of the site. This change will significantly reduce lender concerns about making loans at these sites and will significantly increase the amount of redevelopment funding available in our Nation's inner-city brownfield areas. This development is vitally important to restore the large number of brownfields to productive use, to allow homeowners access to funds to refinance their homes, and companies to continue voluntary cleanups. The liability provisions in this bill will go a long way toward making these things possible.

I do want to clarify one issue; the language we are adopting today is not a liability carve out. Indeed, Superfund as originally passed, did not intend to hold lending institutions liable for this type of business activity. Unfortunately, a series of conflicting court decisions over the authority of the EPA to issue rules clarifying lender liability has left this issue unsettled. Thus, the language we are adopting today merely clarifies a liability outcome that was already intended by Congress.

The issue of brownfield redevelopment is a matter that has been long spearheaded by Republicans, most notably John Chafee, and by making this one very logical change, we will be able to spur reinvestment by private financial markets in the blighted parts of our country.

As I alluded to earlier, although this issue is clearly within the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee of Superfund, Waste Control, and Risk Assessment, I was pleased to work with Senator D'Amato to include this enlightened provision in the continuing resolution. I believe this is a positive change to Superfund, and I thank Senator D'Amato for working with me on this issue of mutual concern.

Mr. President, one aspect of the continuing resolution which troubles me deeply is the level of funding for assessed U.S. contributions to the United Nations and other international organizations of which the United States is a member. The administration's adjusted request for this account was $1.002 billion. The bill provides $892 million. This level is $110 million less than the request. It does not provide funds to pay any of our arrearages, and because it is insufficient to cover our assessments, the result will be further U.S. indebtedness, not only to the United Nations but also to some of its specialized agencies.

I know that many on the other side of the aisle, and perhaps some on this side as well, believe that the only way we can force the United Nations to make the administrative and management reforms we all seek is to withhold some or all of our contributions. I think they misunderstand the nature of the United Nations, and the U.N. environment, and also the degree to which our contributions provide leverage.

Certainly the United States is the last remaining superpower and the largest single contributor to the United Nations. But we are not the only power in the United Nations, and we cannot simply impose our demands on the organization. The United Nations is an organization comprised of 185 members. Many of the administrative and financial reforms that we hope to achieve must be voted on by the General Assembly. In order for us to succeed in that body, we must convince a majority of States that the proposed reform make sense, and do not hinder their own interests. For example, our effort to reduce the percentage of U.S. contributions to the United Nations will impact on the contributions made by other States, no doubt in the end requiring them to pay more. Certainly there are states that today can afford to pick up a greater share of the U.N.'s operating expenses. But we cannot force them to do so. We have to convince a majority of them, particularly the other major powers such as our European allies and Japan that changes in the assessment levels will, in the end, strengthen the United Nations as an institution, and thus be in the interest of all states.

Our ability to build support for reforms at the United Nations has been eroded by Congress' refusal to provide the necessary funds for the United States to pay its dues to the United Nations. Initially, the threat of withholding contributions may have been effective. It isn't anymore. This tactic has simply made the United States into a deadbeat debtor. As of this month the United States owes a total of $1.7 billion to the United Nations -- $414 million for the regular U.N. budget, $771 million for peacekeeping and $542 million for the specialized agencies. Our failure to pay has subjected us to sharp criticism, particularly from our key European allies who also contribute a fair share of the U.N. budget, and it has decreased, not increased, our leverage, particularly to promote reforms desired by the Congress.

The United Nations is very much an unruly debating society. Every member has a voice and a vote. Consensus is the primary method of decision-making. Certainly the positions of the United States carry great weight but our demands and needs, even with our veto, are not the only defining factor.

If we are serious about reforming the United Nations, we need to be serious about fulfilling our financial obligations to that institution. I hope that next year Congress and the administration will have a meeting of the minds on this issue. There must be agreement on a set of reforms that can be achieved over a reasonable time period and a formula for payment that will enable the United States to become current on its financial obligations. This kind of plan would make it clear to other U.N. members that the United States is serious, not only about reform but also about paying its dues. In my view, this is imperative if the United States is going to lead a successful reform effort at the United Nations.

Within the bill the committee has included language under the NIJ account that provides funding for a study on the potential health risks of soon-to-be-released inmates. This language is quite important to our Nation's criminal justice system and to nonprofit organizations devoted to assisting States with correctional health-care programs. For example, in my home State of Michigan, the National Commission on Correctional Health Care has been working with health and correctional officials to stem escalating costs and other problems associated with correctional health care. In light of the potential health risk associated with the nearly 11 million persons released each year from jails, prisons, and other correctional facilities, the National Commission is committed to assisting correctional and public health officials nationwide with correctional health-care concerns.

In addition to efforts at NIJ, I am also aware that the Centers for Disease Control believes an initiative along these lines would be beneficial to its efforts to suppress the spread of infectious and highly communicable diseases within correctional settings. As we look to advance efforts to provide pertinent data relevant to the correctional system, we should encourage efforts like that of the National Commission, which effectively contributes to the development of information relevant to correctional and public health officials.

My colleague from Michigan makes a strong case in support of this initiative and the work of the National Commission. I, too, appreciate the importance of NIJ programs and of nonprofit organizations that provide a better understanding of correctional health care.

I thank the Senator from New Hampshire. Mr. President, the appropriations bill reported from the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, State, and Judiciary included within the immigration examinations fees account $3,325,000 for the Law Enforcement Support Center in Vermont. It is my understanding that the $567,550,000 provided in the omnibus appropriations conference report for immigration examinations fees includes the $3.325 million for the Law Enforcement Center. Does the Senator from New Hampshire agree with my interpretation.

Mr. President, I would like to bring to Chairman Gregg's attention the passage of S. 2101, the Federal Law Enforcement Dependents Assistance Act of 1996, which I introduced with 10 Republican and Democrat cosponsors. S. 2101 authorizes, for the first time, educational and job training assistance for the spouses and children of Federal law enforcement officers killed or totally disabled in the line of duty. These benefits will be subject to the availability of appropriations and will be distributed to eligible dependents based on an application to be devised by the Attorney General.

This legislation passed the Senate on September 20 by unanimous consent and passed the House of Representatives on September 26, which was too late to be taken into account by the Appropriations Committee in the fiscal year 1997 bill we are considering today. I would ask the Senator from New Hampshire for his thoughts on funding for this valuable program.

Judd Gregg
Mr. President, the Senator from Pennsylvania has raised an important issue. The Federal Government has a responsibility for helping the families of Federal law enforcement officers who are lost or disabled in the line of duty. Educational and job training assistance is one appropriate response and deserves the support of the Congress. I would encourage the administration to consider reprogramming funds to support this effort.

Mr. President, I wonder if the distinguished chairman of the Committee on Small Business would like to comment on the Senate substitute amendment to H.R. 3719, the Small Business Programs Improvement Act of 1996. Am I correct in my understanding that this legislation is included in the omnibus appropriations bill that will be considered by the Senate today, and that it contains important provisions designed to preserve and strengthen several SBA finance programs that benefit small businesses throughout the country.

The distinguished chairman of the Banking Committee is correct. Today the Senate will have an opportunity to pass a bipartisan bill that makes many improvements to the Small Business Act and the Small Business Investment Act and assures continued availability of capital and financing to small businesses through SBA's 7(a), 504 and SBIC programs. I thank the Senator for his longstanding and consistent support of small businesses, and for his understanding of their special needs in the financing area. This legislation includes the provision the chairman of the Banking Committee and I jointly developed to enhance the availability of SBIC leverage. I commend the Senator for his creativity and his support for new ways to improve small business access to capital.

I am pleased that this very important new provision is included in this legislation. I believe it is appropriate for the Federal Home Loan Bank system to assist small businesses, by making additional leverage investments in SBIC's, as an element in fulfilling the Federal Home Loan Banks' community and economic development mission.

This legislation amends the Federal Home Loan Bank Act to make clear that Federal Home Loan Banks are permitted, subject to any regulations, restrictions and limitations that may be prescribed by the Federal Housing Finance Board, to invest in stock, obligations or other securities of any small business investment company licensed and operating under the supervision of the Small Business Administration. This authority exists independently of whether the SBIC is owned by or affiliated with a banking organization. This amendment is intended to encourage Federal Home Loan Banks, on a prudent and financially sound basis, to play a part in satisfying the needs of small businesses for the kind of venture capital for business start-up or expansion that is made available by small business investment companies.

A Federal Home Loan Bank's loans to or investments in an SBIC will not be counted as private capital of the SBIC within the meaning of Section 103(9) of the Small Business Investment Act. The structure of the Small Business Investment Act contemplates that an SBIC, rather than raising its original private capital from governmental or quasi- governmental sources, should demonstrate an ability to raise a significant amount of capital from private sources that demand a market-based financial return. Once an SBIC has raised this private capital and has become licensed by SBA, however, Federal Home Loan Banks would be furthering the legitimate objective of economic and community development through promoting small business investment and growth.

In order to be attractive to SBICs that will, in most cases, be making long term portfolio investments, Federal Home Loan Bank investments to provide SBIC leverage should be made on a long term basis as well. Federal Home Loan Banks now routinely make long term advances to members in the normal course of business. However, under some circumstances a Federal Home Loan Bank may wish to sell or liquidate an SBIC investment prior to its stated maturity or prior to the date by which the Federal Home Loan Bank expects to receive a complete return on its investment. Because the Federal Home Loan Bank Act does not require that an investment in an SBIC be acquired directly from the SBIC, a Federal Home Loan Bank would be permitted to acquire and dispose of SBIC investments in secondary transactions, including transactions with other Federal Home Loan Banks. In addition, a Federal Home Loan Bank, for purposes of liquidity, diversification or otherwise, may want to structure its investments in SBIC's through a trustee relationship or other special purpose intermediary. This structure is permissible under the Federal Home Loan Bank Act as long as the Federal Home Loan Bank's beneficial ownership interest in the SBIC investment is sufficiently documented and the trustee or special purpose intermediary holds only stock, obligations or other securities of an SBIC or other authorized Federal Home Loan Bank investments.

The Small Business Investment Act prescribes limits on the amount of SBA leverage made available to an SBIC. These statutory limits on SBA leverage are designed in part of achieve a fair distribution of SBA leverage among all SBICs in a situation where there may be more requests for leverage than SBA has authorization or appropriations to satisfy. A Federal Home Loan Bank should not invest in a single SBIC an amount in excess of any aggregate limits or percentages established by the Bank or by the Federal Housing Finance Board, but the statutory maximum on SBA leverage set forth in the Small Business Investment Act does not apply to Federal Home Loan Banks.

In establishing the terms and conditions on which SBIC loans or investment will be made, Federal Home Loan Banks may want to take into account both the terms and conditions on which SBA now makes leverage available to its SBIC licensees, as well as the expected risk-adjusted return and other terms on which Federal Home Loan Banks structure their advances to members. Some SBIC's receive "participating security" leverage from SBA, structured as an equity instrument rather than debt of the SBIC. Other SBICs obtain traditional debt leverage from SBA through the issuance of debentures. The language of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act gives Federal Home Loans Banks the discretion to provide leverage to an SBIC on terms similar to the equity or debt securities SBIC's now issue to obtain leverage through SBA, or on any other terms approved by the banks and the Federal Housing Finance Board.

SBA's participating security leverage offers some advantages for SBIC's planning to make equity oriented portfolio investments that are not expected to generate sufficient early stage cash flows to satisfy regular interest payment requirements. Leverage structured as equity also makes its easier for SBIC's to attract private capital from certain institutional investors that would not invest private capital in an SBIC planning to obtain debt leverage. If a Federal Home Loan Bank provides equity leverage to an SBIC, the investment could be structured as a preferred investment or otherwise senior in priority over the private equity capital of the SBIC.

If a Federal Home Loan Bank investment in an SBIC is structured as debt, the Federal Home Loan Bank could obtain a first priority security interest or an unsecured senior position acceptable to the bank with regard to SBIC portfolio investments made with the proceeds of the Federal Home Loan Bank leverage. If the SBIC has SBA leverage outstanding or subsequently obtains SBA leverage, the SBIC's issuance of the Federal Home Loan Bank debt would be subject to the Small Business Investment Act's provisions dealing with third party debt of an SBIC. Section 303(c) of the Small Business Investment Act, as amended by this legislation, requires that SBA not permit an SBIC having outstanding SBA leverage to incur third party debt that would create or contribute to an unreasonable risk of default or loss to the Federal Government, and directs SBA to permit SBICs to incur such debt only on terms and subject to such conditions as may be established by SBA. In furtherance of the public policy objectives of encouraging the development of an additional source of reduced-cost leverage and to attract additional participation in the SBIC program that will increase the amount of venture capital available for small businesses, SBA should implement Section 303(c) in a manner that does not limit the ability of Federal Home Loan Banks to provide leverage to SBICs.

Because Section 303(c) applies only to an SBIC having outstanding SBA leverage, SBA need not review or approve, and should not establish any conditions with regard to, a Federal Home Loan Bank investment in an SBIC with no outstanding SBA leverage. For an SBIC with outstanding SBA leverage, SBA should allow the SBIC to obtain additional debt or equity leverage from a Federal Home Loan Bank as long as the Federal Home Loan Bank investment does not give the Federal Home Loan Bank a priority claim on any assets of the SBIC attributable to or acquired with the proceeds of SBA leverage. Similarly, the existence of any outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank leverage should not cause SBA to decline a subsequent SBIC application for SBA leverage, as long as the terms of the outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank leverage do not give the Federal Home Loan Bank a priority claim on SBIC assets attributable to or made with the proceeds of any SBA leverage.

Bill Roth
Mr. President, as chairman of the Committee on Finance, it is my responsibility to make sure that tax-related measures are reviewed and evaluated by the Committee on Finance. Like other committees, the Committee on Finance takes very seriously its jurisdictional responsibilities. The House Committee on Ways and Means similarly exercises its jurisdictional responsibilities on tax-related measures in the House of Representatives.

Bill Roth
Historically, the Committees on Finance and Ways and Means have opposed the inclusion of tax-related measures in appropriation bills. However, because of the unusual circumstances surrounding this appropriations bill, Mr. Bill Archer, chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, requested that the Committee on Appropriations include a tax-related measure in the omnibus appropriations bill.

Bill Roth
Mr. President, I concur with Mr. Archer's request. But my colleagues should be aware that this is a unique situation. The tax-related measure will expedite consideration of important banking legislation that is also contained in the bill. The tax-related measure does not change the Internal Revenue Code. It merely clarifies the current-law treatment of special assessments that many thrifts will pay in accordance with the banking legislation. The staffs of the Committees on Finance and Ways and Means worked together to develop the tax- related measure.

Bill Roth
Since the tax-related measure was initiated by the Committees on Finance and Ways and Means, it should be understood that its inclusion in the appropriations bill does not establish a precedent for the Committee on Appropriations to initiate or include tax-related measures in future appropriations legislation. Mr. Archer made a similar statement in his letter to the House Committee on Appropriations.

Those who produce and traffic in child pornography -- who exploit the most vulnerable and innocent among us -- are, by my lights, among the worst of the worst. They cause a harm that is unspeakable and a damage that is often irreparable.

Child pornography is not an art form and it is not a type of expression that we must tolerate even though we find it intolerable. To the contrary: We have an obligation -- a moral obligation, in my mind -- to protect our children from this type of abuse -- which steals their innocence and shatters their dreams.

What we're seeing now is this: Pornographers are taking pictures of children and morphing them, with the help of computer technology, to make it look as if the children are engaging in sexual conduct.

That means that it's not necessary, these days, to actually molest children in order to produce pornography that exploits and degrades them. All that's necessary is an inexpensive computer, some software, and a photograph of the little boy or girl down the street.

As a threshold matter, any statute that we write must pass the first amendment's test. Otherwise, it will sit on our books, unconstitutional and unenforceable, doing not one child one bit of good.

I am concerned that a provision in this bill which criminalizes the depiction of something that appears to be a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct will not pass constitutional muster.

This proposal would cover purely imaginary drawings, as well as depictions of adults who appear to be minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, like a documentary that deals with child sexual abuse, featuring a 19-year actress who looks like a very young girl.

Don't get me wrong: like many Americans, I would like for a lot of the stuff that's out there today, even it it's just a figment of someone's warped imagination, involving no actual children at all, to be banished from the face of the Earth right now and forever.

The constitutional analysis begins with the famous 1982 case of New York versus Ferber, in which the Supreme Court first recognized the child pornography exception to the first amendment. In the case, the Court pointed to a number of compelling reasons to justify a total and outright ban of this sort of material:

Joe Biden
At the heart of the analysis, and why the Court justified such a categorical and complete restriction on speech, is a very straightforward idea: Children who are used in the production of child pornography are victims of abuse, plain and simple. And the pornographers, also plainly and simply, are child abusers.

In the cases following Ferber, strict restrictions on child pornography are predicated on the same rationale: The creation of the pornography hurts the children who are its subjects.

In testimony before our committee, Professor Schauer expressed the opinion that the appears to be standard in the bill would most probably fail the Ferber test and would therefore become a failed weapon in our crusade against pornography.

That is why I introduced an amendment to Senator Hatch's proposal, which would make it a crime to create a visual depiction that makes it look like an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct, whether or not the child ever actually engaged in the conduct.

Here's what this would mean: If a pornographer uses an image, a face or other identifying feature of an actual child, and, via computer morphing or any other means, makes it look like the child is engaging in sex, that will be a crime.

Although the child may not have actually engaged in the sexual conduct, the image creates an apparent record of such conduct. In my book, that's abuse and that's harm, period.

Also, as the experts tell us, child pornography has a very long life as it often passes among many, many hands, thus victimizing a child who's in the picture time and again.

The definition of identifiable minor in this bill makes it clear that proof of the minor's identity is not required for the prosecution to make its case, only that the child is capable of being identified as an actual person. It also does not matter whether the person depicted is a minor at the time the depiction is created, or whether the depiction is made from a childhood image of a person who is now an adult.

Do not get me wrong: I am wholly sympathetic and supportive of Senator Hatch's view that even imaginary depictions that do not involve actual children can, indeed, cause harm. This kind of stuff can be used by pedophiles to entice other children into sexual activity.

But the point is this: The act of enticement, of course, is itself a separate crime and I think we all agree that we should throw the book at anyone who would do such an unthinkable and despicable thing.

But the Supreme Court has drawn a line in the sand when it comes to the production of the pornography itself and the constitutional line stops with the involvement of real children. And again, it is only a constitutional law, one that will be upheld and enforced, that will serve to protect our children.

In order to more gracefully bring together my proposal and Senator Hatch's, this substitute merges our two approaches into one new section to be added to the criminal code. And though I have agreed to this stylish accommodation of our two ideas, let there be no mistake:

We clearly intend that if any portion of the bill's definition of child pornography, such as the "appears to be" standard, is struck down as unconstitutional, the remaining provision, the prohibition on material involving an identifiable minor, will stand on its own, completely severable.

I'd like to say a brief word about another aspect of this bill. It includes a number of penalties, many of which are properly tough and severe. And though I believe that we should give child pornographers no quarter, I do not think the creation of new mandatory minimums is smart sentencing policy.

One of the main problems with mandatory minimums is that they treat different types of offenders the same, which means that the really bad guys get the same punishment as the less blame worthy. For example, under the proposal added to this bill by Senator Grassley:

A person who puts out an ad seeking to buy soft core child pornography is going to get the same 10-year mandatory minimum sentence as the guy who actually employs or entices an 11 year old to make hard core, violent porn. By the same token, that person who advertises to buy child porn will get the same 10-year mandatory minimum as the parent who markets his child for child pornography.

Make no mistake about it: All these guys should get a tough sentence. But they shouldn't get the same sentence. The same sentence may be too tough for the less culpable, and not tough enough for the most culpable. That's not smart sentencing policy.

These reservations notwithstanding, I believe that we must get on with the very important business at hand which is to stem the tide of this new generation of child phonography. We have no time to waste, and I am pleased that this bill will soon become law.

I find myself here again on the Senate floor faced with a conference report that contains provisions that the Senate and this Senator never had a fair opportunity to consider and that will do grave damage to the United States' place in the world as a refuge for the oppressed and as a champion of human rights.

I say "again" because I first came to the Senate on the issue of asylum and summary exclusion last April 17 to oppose similar provisions in another conference report. I offered a motion to recommit that conference report on S. 735 in order to strike those sections added to that bill in the dark of night modifying our asylum processes, establishing summary exclusion and precluding judicial review. I objected then to those sections of that bill that had not been previously considered by the Senate and that had nothing to do with preventing terrorism, but were snuck into that conference report to alter general immigration law. I failed in that attempt to recommit the antiterrorism conference report by a mere 7 votes.

I knew from the beginning that my motion to recommit has little chance of success because Members were intent on passing an antiterrorism bill in connection with the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. Several Senators came up to me and said that they would have an easier time voting with me on the immigration bill and encouraged me to fix the problem when the immigration bill was considered in the Senate.

Patrick Leahy
When we considered the Senate immigration bill in May, I continued my efforts. With Senators DeWine, Kerry and Hatfield I cosponsored an amendment to the asylum and summary exclusion provisions of that bill. With the support of a bipartisan group of Senators, including Senators Kennedy, Chafee, Simon, Jeffors and Hatch, we prevailed. On May 1, 1996, the Senate approved our amendment 51 to 49 and it replaced the summary exclusion provisions that had been in the immigration bill.

The bill that the Senate passed last May did not undermine our asylum processes or require summary exclusion where it was not necessary or appropriate. In the only vote by either body on these issues the Senate stood with those fleeing oppression and upheld our tradition as a haven for the oppressed and for those seeking religious and political freedom.

We have now come full circle. We in the Senate again find ourselves confronted by a time deadline and an unamendable bill. I am aware of where we are on the legislative calendar and can see other Members looking at their watches as they struggle to conclude this Congress and return home to campaign for reelection. I suspect that most Members have not even had a chance in the waning days of this Congress to examine the immigration bill conference report, let alone begin to explore what it will mean to those who will be denied refuge from oppression in other parts of the world under its provisions. There is no time, no real opportunity to educate ourselves or focus attention on this important matter. The majority simply rolls it out as part of "must-pass" legislation at the end of the session and it cannot be stopped.

I know that this legislation will pass and I expect that President Clinton will sign it -- despite concern that these provisions may well violate our treaty obligations and undercut our world leadership on this issue. I recall that last February President Clinton wrote to Congressman Berman and noted his concern that "we not sacrifice our proud tradition of refugee protection and support for the principles of the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees." The President wrote: "This critically important Treaty, which responded to the displacement that followed the Second World War, has enjoyed broad bipartisan support in the Congress. Moreover, our efforts to urge other governments to comply with its provisions has been a major element of our diplomacy on international humanitarian issues." Specifically on the matter of summary exclusion, the President wrote that he favored "carefully structured stand-by authority for expedited exclusion." That is what I would provide, but the approach that the conference report rejects.

With regard to the overall proposals for summary exclusion that the House was pressing, the President wrote that they were "too broad and would also result in considerable diversion of INS resources." He noted that: "These provisions seem particularly unnecessary in view of the successful asylum reforms we have already initiated." I agree.

I look forward to working with President Clinton when we return next January to correct the excesses of this bill and to right the balance that is needed if we are to honor our commitment to our tradition and those in troubled areas of the world who look to America for refuge.

We did not have an opportunity to craft sensible summary exclusion and asylum provisions and this measure does not bear the Senate's stamp of approval. All Democratic conferees were barred from even offering motions or amendments. I was prepared to offer an amendment to correct the excesses of this conference report and to reaffirm the human rights of those who look to this great country for refuge, but there is no real opportunity today to urge those changes to this legislation. Just as its provisions will result in the summary exclusion of some with valid asylum claims and its truncated procedures will certainly result in the United States returning refugees to countries where their lives and freedoms are in danger, so, too, the circumstances in which the Senate considers this matter have summarily excluded this Senator from participation in the House-Senate conference on this bill and precluded any opportunity for amendment or modification of these provisions.

Let me share with you the stories of some of those who have recently succeeded in gaining asylum in this country who would most likely have been denied our refuge had the bill and its procedures governed.

One of the best recent examples of someone who could have lost his life had the bill been the law of the land is now a constituent of mine in Vermont. His name is Moses Cirillo. Moses is from the Sudan and is a Christian. He had served as a translator for Christian missionaries, distributed Catholic literature and worked with aid groups in the southern part of Sudan. Those are the activities that placed him and his family in danger. He escaped to Ethiopia and then to the United States on a false passport. He lost his wife and son and brother before fleeing.

When he got to this country, this land of freedom and opportunity, Moses Cirillo could not get the INS or an immigration judge to believe him or understand the circumstances that brought him here. Fortunately for Moses, the Vermont Refugee Assistance came to his aid and pursued his cause. This summer, after 3 years in detention, Moses Cirillo was granted asylum. The INS agents at the border and an immigration judge had ruled against him. It was only when his case was reviewed by the Board of Immigration Appeals that he finally prevailed. Had we not had the procedural safeguards that will be eliminated by this conference report, there can be little question that Moses Cirillo would not be free and living in Vermont today.

Just a few days ago the Senate passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 71, a ressolution condemning human rights abuses and denials of religious liberty to Christians around the world. In that resolution we recognized that religious minorities continue to be oppressed and persecuted around the world. We termed religious persecution "an affront to the international moral community and to all people of conscience." We commented on persecution of Christians in such countries as Sudan -- like Moses Cirillo -- in Cuba, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, China, Pakistan, North Korea, Egypt, Laos, Vietnam, and countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union. We termed religious liberty a universal right.

We noted "the United States of America since its founding has been a harbor of refuge and freedom to worship for believers from John Winthrop to Roger Williams to William Penn, and a haven for the oppressed." We referred to Pope John Paul II's call against regimes that "practice discrimination against Jews, Christians, and other religious groups." We proclaimed our "commitment to human rights around the world" and our international leadership on behalf of persecuted religious minorities." We concluded less than 2 weeks ago, on September 17, that the Senate unequivocally condemns egregious human rights abuses and denials of religious liberty to Christians around the world and recognized Sunday, September 29, as a day of prayer recognizing the plight of persecuted Christians worldwide.

It makes little sense merely to condemn religious persecution if we turn around and enact procedures that will shut out the oppressed and summarily exclude refugees from religious persecution. It rings hollow to recall our history of freedom of religion and our station as a haven for the oppressed when we are poised and prepared to abandon that proud tradition.

While the Senate of the United States finds it easy to condemn religious persecution in Sudan, INS agents and an immigration judge initially denied Moses Cirillo asylum claim. It was only the extraordinary efforts of human rights advocates in Vermont and their persistent pursuit of justice through the procedural safeguards in our asylum process that allowed him to prevail. If this bill had been the law, those protections would not have been available. I will continue to work to ensure that before too long we will choose to act consistent with the recognition that religious persecution still plagues so much of the world.

Another recent case is that of Fauziya Kasinga. I first brought this young woman's case to the attention of the Senate back in April. Two days before, a reporter named Celia Dugger had told Ms. Kasinga's story on the front page of The New York Times. She had sought for 2 years to find sanctuary in the country only to be detained, tear-gassed, beaten, isolated and abused.

She, too, came to the United States with false documents. In her case she obtained a false British passport in order to escape mutilation in Togo and traveled from Germany to New York. On June 13, the Board of Immigration Appeals granted her application for asylum from female genital mutilation in Togo. After 2 years in detention, in a case that was initially opposed by INS and rejected by an immigration judge, she finally was freed and granted asylum.

Her case established new law. For when the INS was called upon to file a brief with the Board of Immigration Appeals it took the position for the first time that fear of female genital mutilation should present a sufficient cause to seek asylum in the United States. Hers was a precedent setting case. Does anyone doubt that she would have been returned to Togo if the summary exclusion provision of the bill had been the law? Does anyone honestly think that the immigration agents with whom she came in contact at the border or the immigration judge who denied her claim would have established such a precedent as a case of first impression and rescued her?

It is ironic that in this immigration bill we require that aliens from certain countries be advised prior to or at entry into the United States of the severe harm caused by female genital mutilation and we create a criminal statute against female genital mutilation on children in the United States. Unfortunately, neither of those measures will help the young women who are being subjected to this practice in other parts of the world.

In addition, this bill would amend our statutory definition of refugee to include persons forced to abort a pregnancy or to undergo involuntary sterilization or who are persecuted for refusing such procedures. It will do no good to amend these definitions if we do not have fair procedures and a real opportunity for refugees to establish the circumstances from which they flee to America. Summary exclusion is wholly incompatible with these expansions of the grounds for asylum.

I am glad to see that the bill excludes Cuban refugees from the harsh provisions of the new exclusionary asylum procedures. I believe that this exception should be the rule. Indeed, this exception shows that the majority does not trust the procedures that they are imposing on refugees from all other countries in the world.

Let us examine briefly the Cuban exception and how it might or might not apply. First, we should notice that it only applies to those who are wealthy enough, lucky enough, or skilled enough to arrive by aircraft at a port of entry. Thus, not all who escape from Cuba would be covered by this narrowly drafted special exception.

Further, let us consider how the exception might or might not work in a real-life situation. Not so long ago Fidel Castro's own daughter came to the United States using a disguise and a phony Spanish passport to seek asylum. Under the provisions of the bill, she might well have been turned away at the border after a summary interview if the INS agent who confronted her did not believe that she was Cuban or Castro's daughter. Would that INS officer or the immigration judge reviewing the summary decision within 24 hours think that this disguised person with false documentation had established a "significant possibility" that she was Castro's daughter? Think about what would most likely have happened.

Next, I ask you to consider the case of Alan Baban. Mr. Baban is one of the many Kurds who was jailed and tortured in Iraq. He succeeded in bribing a jailor and escaping. He went into hiding for 3 years and ultimately escaped to this country without documents.

In spite of the notorious persecution of Kurds by the Iraqis and the scarring Mr. Baban carries with him for life, the INS agents who confronted Mr. Baban at the airport did not believe him and determined that he did not have a credible claim of persecution. Having come to the United States for freedom from oppression, Mr. Baban was imprisoned, again -- this time by U.S. authorities.

A year later he was denied political asylum when the interpreter he was assigned at a hearing did not speak or understand his Kurdish dialect. As a result, the immigration judge before whom he appeared did not believe that Mr. Baban was Kurdish.

It took 16 months in detention before Alan Baban was finally granted asylum on appeal. That appeal will be eliminated by the procedures mandated by the bill.

Consider the case of Ana X. whom I met last April when she came forward to share her story. Two-years ago she fled Peru. She had been horribly treated and threatened by rebel guerillas from the Shining Path there. She came to this country without proper documents and gained asylum only after a full and fair opportunity to convince an immigration judge at a hearing that she would suffer persecution if she was returned to Peru.

When she tried to share her history with us earlier this year, she could not finish her second sentence before she broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the memories of what she had suffered. I cannot imagine this victim of oppression being able to talk about her suffering to a strange authority figure immediately upon her arrival in the United States. Fortunately, she had a chance to obtain the help of volunteers and was able to present her case to an immigration judge at a hearing.

Finally, consider the case of Nikolai S. from a former Soviet republic and a social scientist. He had been beaten by government agents because he is Jewish. He came to the United States in 1994 to conduct research and he found it hard to bring himself even to apply for asylum. Once he felt that he was ready and had assembled supporting evidence of the dangerousness of anti-Semitism in his homeland, he applied. Had the arbitrary 1-year filing deadline of the bill been in place, his application would have been rejected as too late.

Human rights organizations like the Lawyers Committee have documented a number of cases of people who were ultimately granted political asylum by immigration judges after the INS denied their release from detention for not meeting a "credible fear" standard and numerous instances where it took an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

I have heard from many House Members, Republicans and Democrats, who feel very strongly about these provisions. Some have sent Dear Colleague letters urging that others join us "in protecting human rights around the world." In particular, I have heard from Representatives Christopher Smith, Tom Lantos, Ben Gilman, Rick Boucher, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Matthew Martinez, Lincoln Diaz-Balart, George Miller, David McIntosh, Henry Waxman, Steve Chabot, Eni Faleomavaega, Thomas Davis, Robert Torricelli, Mark Souder, Ed Pastor, Jon Fox, Cynthia McKinney, Matt Salmon, Eliot Engel, Robert Menendez, and our former colleague Ham Fish.

I also remain deeply concerned that the bill would deny the Federal courts their historic role in overseeing the implementation of our immigration laws and review of individual administrative decisions. This bill will not allow judicial review whether a person was actually excludable and will create unjustified exceptions to rulemaking procedural protections under the Administrative Procedure Act.

This bill signals a fundamental change in the roles of our coordinate branches of Government and a dangerous precedent. Judicial review has often been a source of accountability for the executive branch. The bill eliminates that oversight and weakens protection that serves to make sure that the Executive is following the law. Over 90 law professors had written to us on this point on July 29. Their wise counsel is being ignored at our peril.

The summary exclusion and asylum provisions of the bill remain among its most extreme and unnecessarily harsh provisions. At the eleventh hour, after the House approved the conference report, there have been attempts to meet to create a better bill, but those truncated talks have done nothing to improve the asylum and summary exclusion provisions on which the congressional Republicans remain insistent.

Let me briefly outline adjustments that could have been made to preserve our asylum system while continuing to reform our processes as needed. The bill takes several giant steps backward from the bipartisan Senate effort in May to preserve our asylum process. We were successful in the only vote taken on the matter of summary exclusion and asylum in either House. I feel strongly that the Leahy-DeWine approach is a much more fair and balanced approach than that taken in the bill. We are now being forced to consider a bill that would have the effect of summarily excluding refugees from around the world who seek to come to America for freedom from oppression.

Patrick Leahy
Within the past 2 weeks the Washington Times, the New York Times and the Washington Post have each published strong editorials condemning the asylum provisions of the Republican conference report. The Washington Times concluded: "As lawmakers weigh these issues, they ought to keep in mind the following question: How would I feel about these rules if it were I who was applying for asylum?" In the interest of bipartisan compromise I was prepared to offer a motion and an amendment to preserve the essence of our asylum system while adding additional requirements for expedited consideration of claims for asylum. It is that motion and amendment that Chairman Smith of the House and Chairman Hatch of the Senate ruled out of order at the meeting of House and Senate conferees on September 17.

Patrick Leahy
The Leahy amendment would allow summary exclusion procedures if they are needed in an extraordinary migration situation, as designated by the Attorney General, rather than require their use at all times. This is what the administration requested, in contrast to the universal use of summary exclusion that the extremist measures in the bill will require. The Department of Justice has indicated that, except for a future migration emergency, they can handle asylum claims without resort to summary exclusion and the amendment, like the Senate immigration bill, would have provided such standby authority.

Patrick Leahy
The Leahy amendment would incorporate an international recognized standard for screening asylum claims rather than forcing refugees back into the hands of their oppressors. It would require asylum seekers to show that their claims were not manifestly unfounded in order to receive a full hearing and examination of their circumstances. That is the standard that the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees and the international community strongly favors and the standard consistent without treaty commitments.

Patrick Leahy
The Leahy amendment would preserve limited and narrow habeas corpus review to provide an opportunity to correct erroneous administrative action, which may in many cases by a matter of life or death. The bill seeks to choke off judicial review at every turn. We do not need less accountable government action and unfettered discretion being exercised by overburdened immigration agents to the detriment of refugees fleeing oppression. The New York Times wrote that this is one of the principal reasons it believes this "a dangerous immigration bill." It observed that Republicans as well as Democrats ought to be alarmed by the prospect of unrestricted executive power without judicial review and accountability.

The Leahy amendment would treat refugees more fairly during the initial interview and tried to eliminate artificial barriers to screen out what may be valid asylum claims. By acting summarily before the refugee has a sense that it is okay to speak of the persecution and fear from which he or she is seeking refuge, the bill will screen out the unwary, the unschooled, and the uncertain who will be reluctant to talk about the persecution that compelled them to seek refuge and freedom in America.

The Leahy amendment would only impose a limitations period on asylum claims that are raised for the first time defensively to ward off deportation rather than impose an arbitrary 1-year limit on all asylum claims. If the use of asylum claims defensively to ward off deportation is the problem, let us deal with that problem and not penalize refugees with valid asylum claims who were too traumatized or fearful to come forward until they had gotten settled in this new land.

We need not gut our asylum law by allowing low-level bureaucrats to make life-and-death decisions through summary exclusion at the border. Our country has a proud tradition of protecting victims of persecution and serving as a beacon of hope and freedom. We need not and should not forsake it. This compromise Leahy amendment would give real refugees a fair opportunity to present their circumstances and seek asylum.

The bill fails to take into account the unfortunate but all too real circumstances that exist in repressive regimes around the world. Refugees flee by all sorts of means, including using false documents and escaping through third countries en route to the United States. The bill would punish asylum seekers who are afraid to apply to their government for proper travel documents and identification papers.

Raoul Wallenberg received international recognition for rescuing tens of thousands from Nazi persecution by issuing Swedish identity papers and arranging transport to Sweden. Oskar Schindler saved many lives by securing false documents and identities. As many as 10,000 Jews fled the Holocaust through Asia with the noble assistance of Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat who disobeyed his government and issued them visas. Do we really mean to disadvantage the claims of those who, like the beneficiaries of the courageous work of Oskar Schindler, Raoul Wallenberg and Chiune Sugihara during World War II, needed false travel documents? I hope not.

I am confident that consideration of asylum claims can take false documents into account without making them a barrier to full review. The asylum provisions in the bill would place undue burdens on unsophisticated refugees who are truly in need of sanctuary but may not be able to explain their situation to an overworked asylum officer. Had similar provisions been in place during World War II, those saved by Raoul Wallenberg, Oskar Schindler and Chiune Sugihara could have been summarily excluded because they used false documents to escape the Holocaust.

Mr. President, it is with great reluctance that I take the time of the Senate today to discuss an issue involving the telecommunication industry. The Federal Communications Commission -- the funding of which we are now discussing -- has gone far beyond congressional intent in an important area that was dealt with in the telecommunications law.

The goal of telecommunications reform legislation, in my view, was to promote competition within and among the various telecommunications- related industries, for example, local and long distance telephone providers, cable television, wireless and satellite companies. It is not possible to achieve that reform if federal and state governments restrict competition by creating excessive regulation.

While I agree that the State and Federal governments should retain some authority to protect consumers and the public interest, it is imperative that we remove as much other governmental regulation of the telecommunication industry as possible. Too much regulation will only hinder industry growth, and deny consumers and businesses the new services and products that telecommunication reform will provide. I believe less government regulation was the intent of Congress. In his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, former Attorney General William P. Barr said "the real danger to competition is that excessive, onerous regulation will prevent incumbent local exchange carriers from competing on a level playing field with new entrants. The Federal Communications Commission's recent rules purporting to implement the Telecommunications Act of 1996 highlight this danger." Mr. President, I have been informed of several problems with the FCC's new rulings. I wish to highlight a few. For example, to encourage new entrants into the local phone markets while the companies build their own networks, I believe that Congress wanted incumbent telephone companies to resell its services at wholesale rates to any new companies wishing to buy the services. Even though I had concerns at the time, I believed that Congress' intent was to encourage more competition within the local markets without penalizing those companies who have already spent large amounts of capital building a network. Instead, the FCC, an entity whose members are not elected by the public, has taken the liberty of dictating what happens in the local telephone markets. The FCC's new rules will allow resellers to bypass the wholesale rate defined by Congress and pay significantly lower prices for network parts that are already in place.

If the FCC's new regulations are implemented, new entrants will be able to resell existing network components as a consumer service in the local market. The problem with that is that the new competitors will have little or no incentive to build their own networks. Existing companies will have no incentive to invest in network enhancements if their research and development can be used -- without proper compensation -- by any new entrant. As Mr. Barr said during the hearing on mergers and competition in the telecommunications industry, "under the FCC's system, it makes no sense for any competitor to develop its own network. Instead of real competition that spurs investment, creates jobs, and improves services, the end result of the FCC's rules will be a scheme of contrived `Potemkin competition' in which so-called competitors merely rebrand services purchased below-cost from a severely handicapped incumbent LEC and create the false appearance of competition." Another example of the FCC's overreach is the manner in which it has determined prices for certain telecommunication services. Congress recognized that a one-size-fits-all price system is not conducive to all States. The environment in North Dakota is drastically different from New York. Therefore, Congress assigned State public utility commissions the task of determining reasonable rates for interconnection and unbundled elements. The law requires that the rates be cost-based and nondiscriminatory. It also allowed for the rates to include a reasonable profit. Instead, the FCC has mandated a cost system for States to follow when setting unbundled network element prices. The Commission also set default prices for certain network elements. I have been informed that, in many instances, these prices are far below cost and could place existing telephone companies at a disadvantage. Additionally, the rules will place less value on networks that have been built while eliminating any incentive for existing companies to expand existing networks.

Clearly, as the 668 pages and 3,276 footnotes of the FCC's First Report and Order demonstrates, the Commission has gone far beyond the intent of Congress. I would ask that the chairman and ranking member of the Appropriations Committee to make note of the FCC's failure to abide by Congress' plan for telecommunications reform. I thank them for the opportunity to express my concerns.

While this bill and other appropriations bills provide approximately $10.8 billion above the President's budget request for defense, this is actually $8 billion less for defense, in real terms, than last year's level of funding. Does any Senator believe that we will use our military forces less in fiscal year 1997 than we did this year? I think not.

As most of my colleagues know, the administration began negotiations on the final spending levels, insisting on a substantial transfer of funds of $4 to $5 billion, from defense to nondefense discretionary accounts.

It is clear that this administration relies a great deal on our military services. It appears more likely every day that our commitments in Bosnia will not end in December as we were told. We already know that the cost of our commitment there has greatly exceeded the administration's original estimate of $2 billion and now exceeds $3.3 billion. We do not know what additional commitments might be laid on our military forces in the Persian Gulf -- or as a result of the latest crisis between Israel and the Palestinians. We also do not know when or where our forces might be committed next, but I am confident that the uptempo for our servicemen and women will not decrease.

Mr. President, I want to commend the majority leader and other Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives who negotiated these agreements. Like all negotiated outcomes and compromises, no one gets everything they want. I do believe however that the additional funds provided by the Congress for defense, included in this bill, are necessary.

Mr. President, this bill will allow us to provide our servicemen and women with more modern equipment, alleviating the administration's negative funding trend for modernization; to improve quality of life for our servicemen and women, who frequently find themselves deployed away from their families for extended periods; and to increase funding for the readiness of our forces that has become increasingly strained to cover the higher uptempo and increasing costs of ongoing operations. This bill recognizes that we must maintain a strong force capable of deploying anywhere in the world at any time.

Mr. President, this bill will provide funding for much needed pay raises for our uniformed personnel. It provides funding for anti- terrorism measures to facilitate the protection of our service personnel. It funds shortfalls in the defense health care program as well as many other important programs.

I am pleased that President Clinton is no longer trying to reduce defense spending and recognizes the need for additional defense funding over his initial request. I commend my colleagues who negotiated this Defense appropriations bill. I support this bill and urge my colleagues to vote for this important piece of legislation.

Mr. President, I am pleased that the omnibus appropriations bill includes $21.5 million to fund the Telecommunications and Information Infrastructure Assistance Program [TIIAP] under the National Telecommunications and Information Administration [NTIA]. TIIAP is an important part of the ongoing effort to ensure that every American has access to advanced telecommunications services.

Unfortunately, many communities do not have access to advanced telecommunications services. This lack of access is pronounced in rural and innercity areas. House appropriators made the wise decision to fund TIIAP at $21.5 million. However, for the second year in a row, the Senate chose to cut TIIAP funding. The chairman's mark included zero funding for this important program. It was only after my insistence, and the cooperation of Senator Stevens at full committee, that $4 million was included for TIIAP. At that time, I made it clear to the full Appropriations Committee that I would offer an amendment on the Senate floor, as I did for fiscal year 1996, to fully fund TIIAP. After negotiating with Senate appropriators and sending a letter of support for TIIAP, along with 13 other Senators to Senator Lott , TIIAP funding was restored to $21.5 million in the omnibus appropriations package.

Access to the information superhighway is crucial for economic development and delivery of education, health care, and social services. We can ensure that every citizen has this access, whether they live in rural areas like many residents of my home State of Nebraska or metropolitan centers like New York or Washington DC, by supporting programs like TIIAP. Competing in the world job market no longer simply means working harder than our competitors abroad. Our students and workers must have access to and a strong working knowledge of the advanced telecommunications services that increasingly drive the world economy. Similarly, if we want to continue to provide the best health care in the world, Americans must have access to telemedicine facilities that allow them to work with health care specialists across the country. The importance of TIIAP to developing a strong information infrastructure should not be underestimated. I believe the Senate took a great step forward today in the battle to ensure that every American has access to advanced telecommunications services.
