I understand that this bill contains a provision which prohibits the FBI from charging a user fee or gun tax on all firearms purchases that take place once the national instant criminal background check system takes effect on November 30 of this year -- Is that correct?

Ted Stevens

Yes. The Brady Act did not intend, nor did it authorize the Department of Justice to charge a tax or fee to law abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment right. The National Instant Check System (NICS) is a national criminal justice program which was designed to quickly screen prospective firearms purchasers -- weeding out prohibited gun pruchases while ensuring that the sale of a firearm to a law-abiding citizen could go forth without significant delay. The NICS is a federal program of benefit to all citizens and therefore the cost should be and will be borne by the federal government in view of the absence of any enabling provision relating to assessment of a user fee to gun owners.

I am pleased to hear that, since I supported the establishment and the creation of a national instant check program. It was certainly my understanding that this program was meant to facilitate gun purchases by law abiding Americans and not cause a chilling effect on our rights. We have provided millions of dollars -- including $42 million in this bill -- for the FBI to implement NICS pursuant to the law. As I also remember, NICS is specifically prohibited from becoming a repository of approved firearms transfer records and firearms owners? Is that correct?

Ted Stevens

Again the Senator is correct. The establishment of NICS contained important elements in the law designed to protect the privacy of individual law-abiding gun owners. One of the greatest concerns and legitimate fears of law abiding gun owners is that the federal government will create a federal gun owner registration system where law abiding gun owners exercise of their constitutional rights will be carefully monitored. This is why there are a number of provisions in law which prohibit such action by the government. One such law is the Firearms Owners Protection Act, passed in 1986, which specifically prohibits any record of firearms owners and firearms purchases from being maintained or recorded, for any period of time, in a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States government.

I thank the Senator for making that point clear. Is it not also the case that the Brady law itself includes a prohibition on the centralization and creation of a federal gun registration system?

Yes, the Brady Act clearly states that upon approval of a firearm transaction, the instant check system shall "destroy all records of the system with respect to the call (other than the identifying number and the date the number was assigned) and all records of the system relating to the transfer." 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(t)(2). Additionally, Section 103 of the Brady Act prohibits the establishment of a firearms registration system to prevent any records generated by the instant check system from being transferred to a facility owned, managed or controlled by the United States government.

Well, let me understand something. Does that mean that the FBI or the Department of Justice would be able to collect and maintain all personally identifying information on transactions relating to approved firearms transfers for one and one half years, or for any period of time?

The national instant criminal background check system clearly prohibits such action by the FBI. The centralization and retention of firearms transaction information and records on firearm owners would create a de facto system of firearms registration which has clearly not intended by the Brady Act or any other provision of federal law. In fact it was specifically prohibited.

Specifically, though, is the NICS statute clear on this prohibition of maintaining an audit log or other repository of approved firearms transaction and personal information on firearms owners? Is there any doubt as to Congress' intent in this regard?

I do not believe the law could be any clearer. The NICS statute is transparent and unambiguous on the point that the instant check system "shall destroy" such records. Subsection (t)(2) of 18 United States Code, Section 922, is clearly drafted so that destruction of an approved firearms transaction and personal identifying records shall occur contemporaneously upon the system's approval of the firearms transfer, the assignment of a unique identifying number, and upon the immediate voice or electronic conveyance of such approval and unique identifying number to the federal firearms dealer making the NICS inquiry.

The only information or records on approved firearms transfers that the FBI is permitted to maintain in a central registry is the "NICS Transaction Number" (NTN) and the date the transaction was requested. See, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(t)(2)(C).

I certainly would second that recommendation. This matter is too important to the American people to allow any opportunity for abuse.

Tom Daschle

Mr. President, the statement of managers contains language concerning the proposed HCFA rule that would defer to state law on the issue of physician supervision of nurse anesthetists. As I understand it, this is non-statutory language, and nothing in the bill would prohibit HCFA from moving forward with the publication of the final rule on this issue. I would like to ask my colleague from North Dakota, who is a member of the Committee on Appropriations, is that his understanding of the language as well?

Mr. President, the language to which my colleague refers is only included in the statement of managers and does not have a binding effect on HCFA. As a matter of law, nothing in the bill or the report language would prohibit HCFA from moving forward with the final rule.

Tom Daschle

Mr. President, then it would be correct that HCFA could base its final decision on data or information that is already available, rather than conducting any new studies. My concern here is to ensure that HCFA is neither discouraged from nor delayed in moving forward in publishing a final rule. It is my understanding that nothing in the report language of this year's Labor/HHS Appropriations bill would prevent HCFA from moving ahead and that any further review of data could follow HCFA's publication of a final rule.

Mr. President, the Senator is correct. The statement of managers does not mandate, as a matter of law, any further studies by HCFA on this issue. Nor would HCFA be impeded from moving forward with issuing a final rule regarding the physician supervision issue. In fact, the language clearly states it is not intended to discourage or delay HCFA from moving forward.

I know this issue is particularly important to some of us because nurse anesthetists are the sole anesthesia providers in 70% of rural hospitals. Finalizing this proposed rule is critical to rural America.

Kent Conrad

Mr. President, I appreciate the responses from my colleague from North Dakota, and I wish to briefly comment on this matter. As the sponsor in previous congresses of legislation that would require HCFA to defer to state law on this issue, I am pleased that HCFA has finally issued a proposed rule that would in fact defer to state law. This issue has been hanging over us for many years, and it seems that the only way to finally resolve it is for HCFA to publish its final rule based upon the proposed rule and let the states decide. As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, I would add that we included a provision in our Medicare package in 1995 that would defer to state law on the issue of physician supervision of nurse anesthetists. That provision was not included in the final package as a result of an agreement between the two associations to focus on a reimbursement issue instead. However, I want to emphasize earlier comments that HCFA should neither be discouraged nor delayed in moving forward in publishing a final rule.

Ted Stevens

As the chairman of the subcommittee knows, the purpose of this program is to develop a new reactor technology which is not only more efficient in burning weapons plutonium but is melt-down proof and more thermally efficient than existing reactors. Because of the promise of this technology, the Russians are very enthusiastic about it and the French nuclear company Framatome and the Japanese company Fuji Electric have been active participants. Further, because most of the technical work on this program is being performed by Russian nuclear scientists and engineers, program costs are reduced considerably the those same Russian scientist and engineers are engaged in stimulating non-nuclear weapons work.

It is my understanding that this unique and innovative U.S. -- Russian program to destroy weapons plutonium is the result of the very considerable expense and efforts of a particular U.S. company over several years. Is this also the Subcommittee Chairman's understanding?

Yes it certainly is. I would note that Secretary of Energy Pena noted and has appreciated the cooperation that has occurred in this area under the current partnership program. In a joint statement signed on March 11 of this year, Secretary Pena and Deputy Minister of Minatom Mr. Ryabev specified those areas in which further scientific research will be necessary; plutonium fuel, neutron physics, and materials. That joint statement was an important indicator of the success and purpose of the gas reactor partnership and future efforts should be consistent with that statement.

Then I would like to ask the Senator from New Mexico his understanding of language in the report that states that of the $5 million made available for this program in Fiscal Year 1999, $2 million is for "work to be performed in the United States by the Department of Energy and other U.S. contractors." Specifically, is it the Senator's understanding or intent that the Department of Energy should receive most of this money or impose a new management structure over this program that is working so well and is so well accepted by the Russians?

Several times in recent years, I have disparaged the process of eleventh-hour budgeting because it inevitably leads to one thing: a rising tide that lifts all spending. All the Republican programs get higher funding, all the Democrat programs get more funding. The budget busts apart at the seams. The taxpayers are the losers.

And it's not just the budget process. Bismarck would have croaked had he seen how the normal legislative process -- bad as it is -- was bypassed, becoming a free-for-all. It's as if the Clinton Administration and the Congress had a power outage, and the looters came from everywhere and picked the taxpayers' pockets clean. The legislative process was stripped of its integrity.

Chuck Grassley

Many of us in this body have brought the good news home to our constituents. We have delivered the first balanced budget in a generation. We created surpluses as far as the eye can see. The debt is finally being paid down. Our children have a brighter future because of it. And Social Security will be saved for the Baby Boomer generation. This is the vision we had when we passed the bipartisan Balanced Budget Act of 1997.

I intend to vote against this bill. The reason is because it threatens that vision. A vision we committed to just one year ago. Specifically, there are three reasons I oppose it. First, it threatens what we accomplished last year. It compromises the Balanced Budget Act. This bill proves that the Clinton White House and Congress can never resist the temptation to spend money, even though we've promised to save the money for Social Security and to pay down the debt. That signifies a total lack of fiscal discipline.

Second, it squanders the surplus. It would soak up $21 billion of it in the coming year alone. This is just one month after the announcement of the nation's first surplus in 29 years. Both sides were patting each other on the back. Meanwhile, we couldn't wait to spend it. We could have and should have found offsets for this money. I predict that in coming years, this will be Congress' way around the budget agreement -- Call any program an emergency and the budget agreement is by-passed.

Third, the bill, is a budget-buster. Maybe not technically, maybe not now. But in pushing $4.1 billion of spending decisions into next year, it's the first die cast in ensuring another rising tide of spending next year. In addition, it's not really clear what the budgetary impact is of all the legislative mushrooms we're passing in this budget. The funding for these programs is like fertilizer. And next year these mushrooms become BIG mushrooms. And that creates further budgetary pressures for more spending.

In short, Mr. President, this process shows we have reverted to the same attitude, the same mindset, the same practice, that brought us monumental debt levels in the first place.

Moreover, I deplore the intellectual dishonesty of the President of the United States. For nine months, I have been applauding his stated commitment to save the surplus to ensure the viability of Social Security. Then he pushes for a budget that spends $21 billion of that surplus in just one year. The following day, the President appears in the Rose Garden and announces we've agreed to a budget deal, and saved Social Security in the process.

Mr. President, this cynical statement by the President, and the precedent it sets, hasn't saved Social Security. It has threatened Social Security. It has opened up the flood gates. It ensures future raids on future surpluses. And the President now has no moral authority to use those surpluses exclusively for Social Security. He squandered that moral authority.

It is also intellectually dishonest of the President to oppose tax cuts, using the argument that tax cuts would jeopardize Social Security, yet assume that spending the surplus would not.

For instance, there is approximately $300 million for Iowa farmers in additional relief. The relief package includes AMTA payments, disaster assistance and new operating loans. In addition, there is tax relief for farmers, including Permanent Income Averaging, accelerated health insurance premium deductibility, and a 5-year net operating loss carry- back.

These are all provisions that I worked hard for, supported and that I believe are essential. However, they could have been paid for without this revival of the practice of incrementally mortgaging the future.

Mr. President, I rise to make a few remarks concerning the conference report on the Columbia appropriations, fiscal year 1999. This conference report is the product of a productive debate between the Senate and House subcommittees. This is a good bill, a bipartisan bill, and I urge my colleagues to support it.

I want to thank my subcommittee members, Senator Boxer, the ranking member, and Senator Hutchison for their hard work and assistance in putting the Senate bill together. I would also like to thank the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Stevens, and the distinguished ranking member, Senator Byrd, for their guidance and support.

Mr. President, the conference report largely ratifies the consensus budget for local funds adopted by the Mayor, the Council, and the Financial Authority. The Congress created that budget process, and it has imposed some much needed fiscal discipline on the District's budget. Instead of drowning in red ink, the budget of the Nation's Capital is now solidly in the black, with a surplus of over $300,000,000 for fiscal year 1998.

The conference report appropriates over $372,000,000 for implementation of the National Capital Revitalization and Self- Government Improvement Act of 1997. With the exception of the capital budget for the District court system, the conference report supports the President's budget request for implementation of the act.

The conferees did not provide the $50,000,000 requested by the President to capitalize the National Capital Revitalization Corporation [NCRC]. The Congress has not been consulted as to either the composition of the Board of the NCRC, its duties, the scope of its activities, the relationship between the NCRC and other Federal or local agencies, the relationship between the NCRC and Congress, or the extent to which actions taken by the NCRC may conflict with previous economic incentives adopted by the Congress on behalf of the District. Despite these concerns, the President's nonemergency supplemental request included $25,000,000 to capitalize the NCRC.

The District of Columbia was recently named the worst city in the country to raise children. The children of our Nation's Capital deserve better. Our conference report provides $7,000,000 to pay for new facilities at the Boys Town operations in the District; over $15,000,000 for public charter schools; and $200,000 for mentoring services for at-risk children.

The conference report provides over $75,000,000 in Federal funds to improve public safety and repair a crumbling infrastructure in the Nation's Capital. Included in this amount is over $18,000,000 for repairs to the District's public safety facilities, including badly needed capital improvements to Metropolitan Police Department [MPD] facilities. In addition, the conference report provides the United States Park Police with $8,500,000 for a new helicopter, which will assist the MPD in meeting the District's public safety needs. In addition, the conference report appropriates $25,000 to expand the subway station next to the planned Washington Convention Center.

Perhaps most important, the conference report includes $25,000,000 to continue the work of management reform. If there is one reason why the Nation's Capital has any hope of recovery, it is because District agencies which have been mismanaged for years are finally being reformed and restructured. The Financial Authority and the District's Chief Management Officer, Camille Barnett, are now midway through the process of cleaning up the largest agencies of the District government. While the District is making headway in reversing years of mismanagement, much work needs to be done to improve service delivery to District residents. The funds provided in this bill will go toward projects that will enhance government efficiency and service delivery, such as expanded emergency medical services and technology modernization.

The conference report prohibits the use of Federal and local funds for the implementation of a needle exchange program; for abortion; and for a ballot initiative to legalize controlled substances. It also provides badly needed adoption reforms for the District of Columbia.

This conference report would not have been possible without the hard work and cooperation of my friend, Congressman Charles Taylor, the chairman of the House Subcommittee on the District of Columbia. We are confident that this conference report will be supported by the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the President.

Mr. President, I would like to express my appreciation to the managers of the Interior title of the Omnibus Appropriations Act for including section 139, which ratifies payments made by small refiners under preexisting onshore and offshore royalty-in-kind programs. I was pleased to work with Senators Enzi, Domenici, Thomas, Johnson, and Landrieu on this issue. My office served as the point of contact between the Minerals Management Service and the small refiners in negotiating the final text of this section, which was then included by the managers in the bill, so I would like to make two observations in relation to it. The purpose of this section is to relieve small refiners of potential additional financial obligations that they are not in a position to bear, and to avoid the likelihood that a number of small refiners who participated in a federal program to increase their access to crude oil for refining would be forced into bankruptcy over a question as to whether the amount invoiced by government for that crude oil was correct or not. I do not believe that anything in this section should be construed as expressing congressional intent on any question other than the one of whether small refiners should be relieved of this potential problem. In my opinion, this section does not constitute a congressional view for or against the use of posted prices for the valuation of crude oil produced from federal leases.

Mr. President, following Senate approval of the resolution of ratification for the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and subsequent ratification of the treaty by the President, it became necessary for the United States to enact legislation to implement its various domestic obligations. The Foreign Relations and Judiciary Committees of the Senate immediately fulfilled their obligation to prepare implementing legislation once the treaty had been ratified. On May 23, 1997, the full Senate passed S. 610 -- "the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1997." Soon thereafter, on November 12, 1997, the House of Representatives passed the implementing legislation, together with sanctions on Russian firms that are assisting Iran's ballistic missile program.

I regret that it has taken so long to enact the implementing legislation into law, if for no other reason than that I expect numerous U.S. companies to challenge the constitutionality of the treaty and overturn it in the courts. Unfortunately, final resolution of the legal issues surrounding the CWC, as well as full U.S. compliance with the treaty, has been delayed this entire session of Congress because of President Clinton's opposition to the unrelated missile sanctions provisions of the bill. Indeed, the President sought to delay and derail CWC implementing legislation throughout the entire spring. The President alone is responsible for putting the United States into noncompliance by delaying and then ultimately vetoing the bill (on June 23, 1998).

It is important that those who are frustrated with the slow pace of U.S. implementation of the CWC understand that the Congress has discharged its obligation to provide implementing legislation for the President's signature not once -- but twice. It is the President, not Congress, who has blocked speedy and complete adherence to the treaty.

For the record, I note that two trade associations were directly involved in the crafting of the CWC's implementing legislation. The President and CEO of the Chemical Manufacturers Association wrote to me on May 7, 1998, stating that S. 610 was "a reasonable approach to meet U.S. obligations under the CWC and protect industry's interests." The Vice President for Regulatory Affairs of the American Forest and Paper Association wrote to Senator Hatch on May 21, 1997, offering its support for S. 610 since the bill "contains a number of provisions that the forest products industry believes are crucial to ensuring that implementation of the CWC is reasonable and meets the stated purpose of the treaty." I submit the following assessment which details the most significant provisions of the implementing legislation, together with an explanation of the Senate's rationale.

Mr. President, as part of the omnibus appropriations bill the Senate today will pass the "American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act." This legislation represents a bipartisan compromise resulting from tough negotiations between the House and the Senate, and between Congress and the White House. The bill will be included in this form rather than being adopted freestanding because of a last minute objection from Senator Harkin that has prevented it from being brought to the floor on its own. Given the 78 to 20 vote for the American Competitiveness Act prior to the agreement with the White House, and the 288 to 133 vote in the bill's favor just a few weeks ago in the House of Representatives, it is clear the legislation would have passed with overwhelming support in the Senate had it been permitted to come to a separate vote.

Let me start by describing the history of this legislation. This past February, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing at my request to examine high technology labor market needs. We heard from leaders at America's top high technology firms that they simply could not find enough qualified professionals to fill the jobs they needed filled. They also emphasized that many of the individuals they hired on H-1B temporary visas not only filled important jobs, but also typically created jobs for many Americans through their skills and innovations.

At that time, the 65,000 cap on H-1B visas was projected to be reached as early as June. Instead, it was reached the first week of May.

In March, I introduced S. 1723, the American Competitiveness Act, to increase the cap on H-1B visas for foreign born professionals. In April, that bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee on a 12 to 6 bipartisan vote. Then in May, the bill passed on a 78 to 20 vote of the full Senate.

Some time after that, the House Judiciary Committee passed out an H- 1B visa bill as well. However, many who supported the increase in principle found that the House version included so many conditions on the use of H-1B visas that they would have more than negated the benefits of raising the cap. Negotiations ensued between the House and Senate over these provisions, brokered by the leadership of both chambers. The hope was to find a compromise.

In the end, a compromise was reached that retained the core features of the Senate bill but also found common ground with the House by focusing increased attention and requirements on employers, more than 15% of whose workforce are in this country on H-1B visas. The compromise also imposed a fee to be paid by the employer on each visa, the proceeds of which would be used for job training and scholarships.

On account of this last provision, the compromise bill was required to originate in the House. Accordingly, it was incorporated into a proposed amendment, whose text was worked out by me and by House Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Smith -- a proposed amendment which Chairman Smith was going to offer as a substitute to H.R. 3736, the bill that had passed out of House Judiciary.

As the House was preparing to take that bill up before the August recess, however, the White House issued a public veto threat and listed 15 changes it was seeking to the bill. At that point, I was deputized to attempt to negotiate the remaining issues with the Administration, in consultation with Chairman Smith and the House and Senate leadership.

After several weeks of negotiations, we reached agreement at 7:00 p.m. on September 23. We and the Administration were able to reach an accommodation on most of the points it had raised. The Administration withdrew the remaining two points, points 6 and 7, that in our view could not be accommodated within the existing structure of the bill and the H-1B program. We instead agreed on a different approach with regard to the concerns underlying these two points, one that focused instead on clarifying current program requirements and toughening sanctions for willful violations of these requirements.

Because the bill was scheduled to be taken up on the House floor the following day, the results of the agreement had to be quickly incorporated into a new substitute amendment to H.R. 3736. The substitute had to be filed by Chairman Smith that evening before the House went out at 8:30 p.m. so that it could be printed in the Congressional Record and be made available for Members to review the following morning. We met this deadline, the amendment was filed, and on September 24 the amendment was adopted and the bill passed by the House with the support of a majority of both the Republican and Democratic caucuses. That bill, with some technical corrections necessitated by a few omissions that resulted from the tight deadline under which the original version was produced, is now incorporated into Title IV of Division C of the Omnibus Appropriations Bill, titled The American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act.

Let me now turn to the reasons why I believe this bill remains needed and indeed timely. Mr. President, throughout this session of Congress I have come to the floor repeatedly to urge that we address the growing shortage of skilled workers for certain positions in our high technology sector. I have done this because I believe that the continued competitiveness of our high-tech sector is crucial for our economic well being as a nation, and for increased economic opportunity for American workers.

The importance of high-tech for our economy is beyond doubt. The importance of high-tech for our economy is beyond doubt. According to the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis, high technology companies contributed over one-quarter of America's real economic growth between 1992 and 1997. Moreover, the declining prices of computers, software, and semiconductors have made a substantial contribution to our nation's low level of inflation, thereby improving the standard of living enjoyed by millions of Americans. Without IT industries to keep prices down, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the inflation rate would have been much higher in 1997 -- 3.1 percent versus the actual level of only 2.0.

But high technology firms are experiencing serious worker shortages. A study conducted by Virginia Tech estimates that right now we have more than 340,000 unfilled positions for highly skilled information technology workers. And, while Department of Labor figures project our economy will produce more than 1.3 million information technology jobs over the next 10 years, estimates are that our universities will not produce nearly that number of graduates in related fields. And this is not only what academic studies are telling us. Firms across the nation and across my home State of Michigan have been clamoring for people to fill these skilled positions.

Of course, this issue is not only about shortages, it is about opportunities for innovation and expansion, since people with valuable skills, whatever their national origin, will always benefit our nation by creating more jobs for everyone.

Mr. President, we want and need American companies to keep and expand major operations in this country. We do not want to see American jobs go overseas. But, if they are to keep their major operations in the United States, firms must find workers here who have the skills needed to fill important positions in their companies.

To make that happen in the long term, we must do more as a nation to encourage our young people to choose high technology fields for study and for their careers. In the long run this is the only way we can stay competitive and protect American jobs.

Through scholarships and job training, the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act will help us achieve this goal. It will provide money and training to low income students who choose to study subjects, including math, computer science and engineering, that are important to our high-tech economy. In this way the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act will help bridge the gap between current job skills and the requirements of high paying, important positions in our economy.

We currently allow companies to hire a limited number of highly skilled foreign born professionals to fill essential roles. To do this they must go through a fairly onerous process to get one of the 65,000 "H-1B" temporary worker visas allotted by the INS. Unfortunately, last year our companies hit the 65,000 annual limit at the end of August. This year that limit was hit in May.

This bill, in addition to providing significant incentives for Americans to enter the high technology sector, will temporarily raise the number of H-1B visas available for the next three years. These additional visas will enable companies to find the workers they need to keep facilities and jobs in the United States, and keep our high-tech industry competitive in the global marketplace.

The legislation also includes a number of provisions ensuring that companies will not replace American workers with foreign born professionals, including increased penalties and oversight, as well as measures eliminating any economic incentive to hire a foreign born worker if there is an American available with the skills needed to fill the position.

I would like to thank the members of my staff who worked long hours negotiating this compromise. I would also especially like to express my personal gratitude to my colleagues for their support for this important legislation. I would like to thank in particular Majority Leader Lott, Senator Hatch, Senator McCain, Senator Gramm, Senator Gorton, Senator Lieberman, and Senator Graham, as well as the many cosponsors of the bill, for their crucial support at key moments in this process. I am also grateful to Senator Kohl and Senator Feinstein for their support for this legislation in Committee. Finally, I would like to thank the Subcommittee's Ranking Member, Senator Kennedy, for the cooperation he showed in moving forward this piece of legislation despite disagreement with some aspects of the bill's content.

In the House, I would like to extend special thanks to Speaker Gingrich, Majority Leader Armey, and Chairman Smith for helping to reach a compromise that has achieved a true consensus on this issue. Representatives David Dreier, Jim Rogan and David McIntosh also provided leadership and help at significant junctures in this process and I am also grateful for their important efforts.

Because much of this legislation was developed after the conclusion of the regular Committee process, I have also prepared an explanatory document that performs the function commonly performed by the Committee Report of describing the legislation and the purpose and interrelationship of its various provisions in detail. I ask unanimous consent that this document be printed in the Record, along with a few pages of other materials to which the document makes reference.

As chairman of the Senate Oversight Subcommittee on Government Management, Restructuring, and the District of Columbia, improving adoption for foster care in the District is one of my highest priorities. For the past year, I, along with Senators DeWine, Grassley, Craig, and Landrieu, have been looking for ways to make it easier for children in the Nation's Capital to find an adoptive family.

Earlier this year, we hosted an Adoption Fair on Capitol Hill in which resulted in the adoption of five children to two families. We also held a hearing in the subcommittee to explore a solution that would shorten the time it takes for children in the District to be adopted.

Gordon Gosselink, age 13, testified before the subcommittee at this hearing about how he entered the District's foster care system at the age of two. For the next 10 years, he lived in several foster care homes and even endured physical abuse until he was finally adopted at the age of 13 by Robert and Mary Beth Gosselink. He said:

Some children are not as lucky as Gordon. Currently, there are 994 children in the District with the goal of adoption but only 50 percent have been referred to the District's adoption branch. Even worse, many children in the District grow up moving from foster care home to foster care home without finding an adoptive family by the age of 18. The most recent statistics indicate that 67 percent of the children who left the foster care system, left because they turned 18 years old. In other words, one of the only ways out of the system, is to grow-up to adulthood within the system. Once these children turn 18, they are released to the streets without a family or a home.

Allowing just one child to grow up without the love, attention, and commitment of a family is a tragedy. Allowing hundreds to languish in foster care is a disgrace.

The District Child and Family Services Agency has been under the leadership of Ernestine Jones, the Federal court appointed receiver for nearly one year now. I am hopeful that reforming the system will remain a priority and these discouraging realities will no longer haunt the children who need the system most.

We must also recognize foster care and adoptive parents for their contribution and their example of taking in these children when they need them most. As many of the Senators, who have adopted children, know, we need to make it easier, not more difficult, for parents to adopt.

I believe this can be done and systemic improvements can be made with positive results -- as seen in my home state of Kansas. The Kansas reform model of the Child and Welfare Services Agency has shown some immediate signs of success. Within one year of implementing these reforms, Kansas increased the number of children placed in adoptive homes from 25 percent to 50 percent. Prior to these reforms, the average stay for a child in the Kansas foster care system was two years. Now, the average stay in 13 months.

Using the Kansas model, we drafted the D.C. adoption reform language and came to a bipartisan agreement which included the Federal court appointed receiver and the Federal court appointed monitor. I am pleased that this compromise language is included in the omnibus appropriations bill. First, the bill would require the D.C. Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) to maintain an accurate database tracking all children found by the Family Division of the District of Columbia Superior Court to be abused or neglected and who is in the custody of the District of Columbia -- including any child with the goal of adoption or who is legally free for adoption. Unfortunately, this basic step has been neglected in the past in CFSA. To meet the immediate demand of placing children in adoptive homes, the bill would also require CFSA to contract out some of its adoption functions which may include recruitment, homestudy, and placement services. Like the Kansas model, these contracts would be required to be performance-based contracts. Contractors would be compensated once specific goals, such as an adoption placement or finalization, are achieved. Finally, CFSA and contractors would be required to work together to identify and lift any barriers to timely adoptions.

I want to stress that in the end, we are talking about individual children who are in search of a permanent and secure home. Any improvement in the system translates into bringing each child closer to the fundamental need of having a loving, adoptive family.

Mr. President, I speak today in support of the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act, which is included in the Conference Report on H.R. 4328, the Omnibus Appropriations Act, under Division C, Title IV. The House passed this Act as H.R. 3736 on September 24. The Senate had passed the companion bill, S. 1723, on May 18. I cosponsored the Senate bill because I believe strongly that the U.S. Government's job is to make sure that U.S. industry has adequate access to the resources necessary to grow their business. Right now we have the lowest unemployment rate in 28 years. The high-tech sector, which has been the engine of growth in our economy -- creating the most jobs -- cannot find enough skilled workers. If U.S. industry needs more skilled workers than the U.S. labor force can provide, as the Department of Commerce has documented, then we must allow them to hire foreign skilled workers, and, as is more often the case, allow them to hire foreign graduate students educated here in the United States. These foreign workers create wealth and more jobs in this country. If we block these visas the research will go abroad.

The Semiconductor Research Corporation, founded by the U.S. semiconductor industry, supports approximately 800 graduate students each year with merit-based scholarships. Some of the students receiving grants are foreigners studying here in the United States. They told me that this year, for the first time, they have been unable to hire all of the graduate students whose research they funded, even though the students wished to remain in the United States, because they cannot get H-1B visas.

When I cosponsored S. 1723 in May, I believed it was a good bill because it not only temporarily increased the number of visas available for skilled workers, but it also set up education and training programs for Americans so that more U.S. workers will soon be eligible for these high-paying jobs in the high-tech sector. I am delighted to say that I believe the bill that emerged from the long and detailed negotiation between Senator Abraham and the White House is now even better legislation. The American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act increases the number of visas available for the next three years, includes funding to decrease processing time for visa applications, and funds education and training programs to increase the pool of skilled workers in the United States. For the benefit of workers, it includes substantial protections for U.S. workers, increases enforcement authority for the Department of Labor to protect workers rights, and creates additional protections for H1-B employees. These new protections will help eliminate real and/or perceived hiring practices that came under criticism and made this such a controversial visa program. Removing the opportunity for abuse of the program makes its a stronger program and broadens its base of support. This act is in the best interests of both U.S. and foreign workers and U.S. business.

The funding that is included in this act is vitally important. Too often, Congress passes legislation with the result that executive branch agencies or States are expected to provide more services and programs with less money. This act funds each of the programs it creates and the increased duties it requires of government agencies with a fee on each visa. It funds K-12 science programs. It funds scholarships in the math, science and engineering fields. And it funds training in high-tech skills.

I would like to speak in particular about the training program contained in the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act, Section 414 (c). As the chief sponsor of this provision, I want in these remarks to particularly address the intent and meaning of the provision. Section 414 (c) directs the Secretary of Labor to establish demonstration projects to provide technical skills training for workers. What makes this program unique is not just that it is targeted at technical skills, but that it will be open to both employed and unemployed workers.

Most Department of Labor training programs are solely for unemployed, displaced or disadvantaged workers. But in today's market, technology changes so quickly that no longer can people be trained in their twenties and expect to use those same skills throughout their career. American workers used to have one job for life. Now the average American will have five to ten jobs in a lifetime. Employees need to update their skills continually to remain competitive. Realistically, we must allow Department of Labor training programs to include workers who have jobs now, and want to upgrade and update their skills so they can qualify for the changing needs of industry, instead of waiting until they lose their job or become dislocated workers from a declining industry.

The United States is in the enviable situation at this time of having under 5% unemployment. The high-tech industry tells us it has as many as 190,000 unfilled jobs. This does not necessarily mean that we do not have the people to fill those jobs; it means we don't have the people who have the skills to fill those jobs. Nearly seven out of ten employers say that the high school graduates they see are not yet ready to succeed in the workplace.

The jobs in the high-tech sector pay more than other jobs. The average wage in the high-tech sector pays 73% more than the average wage in the private sector. The average high-tech manufacturing wage is 32% higher than the U.S. manufacturing average wage. We need to help our citizens get the training they need to get these higher paying jobs.

The reality is that we have a global economy and there is, more and more, a global workforce. If companies cannot find skilled workers in the United States, they will find them in another country. This training program will help U.S. workers get the skills they need to stay competitive.

I want to explain my intent for the program established under Section 414 (c). I intend this program to be used for innovative approaches to solving our labor skills shortage; specifically, consortia and community-based programs. I intend the program to be used as a catalyst to bring small and medium sized businesses together to set up cooperative programs of skills training. I believe the best results can be gained from industry-driven programs. To have industry involved in and leading the skills training will ensure that workers are being trained for jobs that actually exist.

Ninety-nine percent of the 23 million businesses in the United States are small businesses. But, small businesses often do not have the resources to operate training programs by themselves. By joining together in consortia of other small and medium sized businesses with similar labor needs, with the Local Workforce Investment Boards established by the Workforce Investment Partnership Act signed into law this year, with community colleges, or labor organizations, or with State or local governments, small and medium sized businesses can participate in training courses that will increase the labor pool of skilled workers needed in their region.

Companies, however, do not normally cooperate in training workers. That is why the government is needed to provide the catalyst to bring companies together to cooperate on training. It is expected that the fee from the visas will generate approximately $50 million annually for the training program. It is my hope that the Secretary of Labor will consider, as she establishes these programs, requiring matching funds from the consortia. Nothing in this act precludes such matching funds. Matching funds will help ensure that the companies take an active role in the training program. The Secretary of Labor has the discretion to undertake this implementation approach. Of course, available federal funds are meant only to start the process -- federal funding would end over time after which the consortia would continue the cooperative training programs alone.

Mr. President, let me give some examples of the type of program I am discussing. In the last few years, a small number of regional and industry-based training alliances in the United States have emerged, usually in partnership with state and local governments and technical colleges, that exemplify the type of program on which this provision in the manager's amendment is modeled. In Rhode Island, with help from the state's Human Resource Investment Council, regional plastics firms developed a skills alliance which then worked with a local community college to create a polymer training laboratory linked to an apprenticeship program that guarantees jobs for graduates. The Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership, a consortium of metal-working firms in conjunction with the AFL-CIO, refitted an abandoned mill with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to teach workers essential metal-working skills. In Washington, DC, telecommunications firms donated computers and helped set up a program to train public high school students to be computer network administrators. They then hired graduates of the program at entry-level salaries of $25,000-$30,000.

Without some kind of support to create alliances, such as created by the new provision in this act, small and medium sized firms just don't have the time or resources to collaborate on training. In fact, almost all the existing regional skills alliances report that they would not have been able to get off the ground without an independent staff entity, such as a college or labor organization, to operate the alliance. Widespread and timely deployment of these kinds of partnerships is simply not likely to happen without the incentives established by a federal initiative, which is created by this act. The training provision in the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act can help create successful new training models and templates that others can replicate across the nation.

I want to thank Senator Abraham and Lee Liberman Otis and Stuart Anderson of his staff who worked tirelessly to ensure that the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act would pass the 105th Congress. I also want to thank Laureen Daly of my staff for all her dedicated efforts on this essential legislation.

The fiscal year 1999 foreign operations appropriations package is very different in size and character from the wasteful ones passed just a few years ago by liberal Congresses. It represents a sea change in the way Congress does business and a major victory for conservative, commonsense principles.

The U.S. Federal budget is now balanced -- for the first time since 1969. This is the most positive economic policy development in the world today. There is room within that balanced budget for a limited, responsible program of foreign operations.

This bill imposes new, tough standards of accountability and transparency on the IMF. If American taxpayers are going to invest in the IMF, hoping it will produce a more stable world economy, they should be able to see where their money is going.

This provision covers autos, textiles and apparel, steel, and shipbuilding, as well as semiconductors. It is of extreme importance to the thousands of workers at Micron, an Idaho company that manufactures computer chips and is a world leader in semiconductor technology. This provision will safeguard many American jobs and is the result of bipartisan efforts.

This provision directs the Secretary of the Treasury to instruct the U.S. Executive Director at the IMF to exert the influence of the United States to oppose further disbursement of funds to the Republic of Korea unless the Secretary has given a certification that IMF funds are not being used to subsidize industries with a history of committing unfair trade practices against American companies and workers.

It is my understanding that the use of the term, "exert the influence of the United States" places a very high obligation on our Secretary of the Treasury and Executive Director to use all the means necessary to oppose disbursement of funds unless such certification has been given.

This effort needs to be persistent and comprehensive, at all levels, in order to achieve the desired result. It includes the use of the voice and vote of the United States at the IMF. This language also constitutes a commitment by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Congress to see that the influence of the United States is exerted in all respects.

I've spoken with the Secretary about this matter. It's characteristic of administration agencies and officials to prefer having broad latitude and not being given such specific direction in legislation. However, I believe the substance of this provision is consistent with the Secretary's own intentions. The final language is the product of negotiation with the Administration.

Mr. McConnell. I would concur with the Senator's interpretation of the effect of this provision. This provision creates an ongoing and overarching commitment. Accompanying report language should reassure the people of South Korea that our friendship for them remains strong, and that we are simply seeking to promote honest, open markets and fair competition.

Mr. President, while many parts of this bill concern me, the part that I am very proud of is a provision known as the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1998. It has been my pleasure to have worked with Senator Coverdell and I commend him for guiding the drug-free workplace bill through the Small Business Committee with a unanimous bipartisan vote. I would also like to thank Representatives Portman, Bishop, and Souder for their work in passing this important anti-drug legislation out of the House.

The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1998 is an excellent example of how the federal government can work to encourage drug-free workplaces without placing heavy-handed mandates on businesses. It fosters partnerships between small businesses and organizations which have at least two years experience in carrying out drug-free workplace programs. It also will educate and encourage small businesses about the advantages of implementing drug-free workplace programs.

Small businesses often feel they lack the money or the expertise to implement drug testing programs. That is why the drug-free workplace bill performs such a worthwhile function. Many small firms would like to start drug testing programs but don't have the ability to overcome the start up costs. This anti-drug measure provides resources to assist and educate employers who want the help in implementing drug-free workplace programs.

As we all know, the American workforce is the main catalyst behind the tremendous economy that we are enjoying today. It is absolutely integral to a country's economic well being that it have a competent, able workforce. Our ability to maintain the high achievements of this workforce hinges largely on our ability to keep drugs out of the workplace.

Drug use can take a tremendous toll. For example, 70% of drug users are employed. Employees who use drugs: Have greater absenteeism; have increased use of health services and insurance benefits; have increased risk of accidents; and have decreased productivity.

The costs of drug use are not only confined to the user, just consider these disturbing statistics: Nearly half of all industrial accidents in the United States are related to drugs or alcohol; and drug and alcohol abusers file five times as many workman's compensation claims as non-abusers, and require 300 percent greater medical benefits.

Businesses need help dealing with the problem of drug use -- especially small businesses. Thomas Donohue of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce testified before the House Subcommittee on Empowerment that a large impediment in the implementation of drug programs is the perceived costs and problems with the actual initiation of the programs.

The Drug-Free Workplace Act is fair to everyone. It's fair for the workers who are put at risk by their colleagues' drug abuse. It's fair to businesses, because it gives them the tools they need, but only if they want them. it's also fair to society, which ultimately foots the costly bill that drug abuse brings.

Mr. President, I would ask my distinguished colleague and Chairman of the Committee on Finance for his attention with regard to a matter of some concern to the Savings Bank Life Insurance (SBLI) organizations in Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut, as well as their operations in New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

As the Chairman knows, we had hoped this year, after a long consideration of the matter, to act on a proposal that would clarify the tax consequences of a state-mandated consolidation of an SBLI organization in which required payments to policyholders are made over a period of years. Under the current Internal Revenue Service (IRS) interpretation, such payments would be non-deductible redemptions of equity. After considerable effort, we believe we have succeeded in demonstrating that such an interpretation is incorrect. Of necessity, however, it appears that a statutory clarification will be required, and, unfortunately, it does not appear possible this year to consider this kind of matter in a tax measure.

SBLI entities and policyholders retain unique, long-recognized characteristics regarding voting rights and rights to surplus which set them apart from other insurance companies and policyholders and which form the basis for the needed clarification. The provision we had hoped would be considered this year would clarify that the Internal Revenue Code should treat additional policyholder dividends as deductible when mandated by state law.

While only the Massachusetts SBLI is immediately affected, the sister entities in New York and Connecticut could be adversely affected if the appropriate clarification is not made. Unfortunately, if we are unable to accomplish our objective soon, SBLI and its policyholders throughout New York and the New England region will be subjected to a tax inequity which will be unnecessarily passed on to the consumer. It is important to note that the Treasury Department again this year reiterated that it does not oppose this clarification.

I thank my colleague from Massachusetts. I am well aware of your interest in this amendment, as well as the continued interest of the Senators from New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The Senator raises important issues with regard to the uniqueness of such state-mandated payments. Unfortunately, as you know, we were not able to take up such issues during the 105th Congress. It would be my intention, though, to address this and other tax matters at the next available opportunity.

Mr. President, I rise to commend the leadership and the members of the Appropriations Committee for their hard work on this bill. They had to make hard decisions about scarce resources and have labored to do so fairly. I also appreciate the efforts to make sure the taxpayers hard-earned dollars are spent effectively and efficiently. While there are several provisions within this bill which I wholeheartedly support, I do not agree with every provision of this bill.

As you all may be aware, section 315 of the Interior portion of the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 authorized the Recreational Fee Demonstration program. The Recreational Fee Demonstration Program is currently scheduled to expire on September 30, 1999. Language from the House Fiscal Year 1999 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act to extend this demonstration program an additional two years (to the year 2001) has been included in the FY1999 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act. I worked to keep similar language out of the Senate Interior appropriations bill and was disappointed to see the House language prevail in the final omnibus bill.

The issue here is that the House action was premature. I am not totally opposed to a fee demonstration program. In fact, when Congress authorized the Recreation Fee Demonstration Program in 1996, I voted in support of this legislation and have been a proponent of user-based fees. I believe that the program, in concept, has merits. I envisioned this demonstration program as having the potential to improve the condition and recreation services of public lands by making more financial resources available to areas that are used the most heavily, based on a modest fee allocated to those directly benefitting from the enjoyment of those lands. Recreation is important in Idaho. Because 63 percent of our state is managed by the federal government, a majority of this recreation must take place on the public lands. In some of our premier areas the resource is being loved to death. Appropriated budgets will not see future large increases in recreation programs even though these areas will undoubtedly continue to be a popular local, and tourist, attraction.

As a member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, the authorizing committee with legislative jurisdiction over the fee demonstration program, as well as the chairman of the subcommittee of jurisdiction, I am committed to thorough oversight of this program with an eye toward consideration of any appropriate legislation to improve, continue, or terminate it depending on the information we gather and the experiences of the agencies.

On June 11, 1998, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee held an oversight hearing on the program's first full year of implementation. Valuable information was gathered from the agencies administering the programs and the users of the resource. We will continue to monitor this program during the next two years. A thorough review of the program, with answers to some serious questions, must be completed before extending the recreation fee demonstration program. Then we can accurately assess the merits and problems and decide how to continue. However, considering this issue settled at this early date will only lessen the authorizing committee's responsibility to evaluate the program and make any improvements that are warranted. We should act after, not before, this demonstration program has had a chance to demonstrate.

While I voted in favor of this bill for continuing necessary programs, some provisions, such as a premature extension of the recreation demonstration program, are not something I agree with or support. If more time is needed to test the fee demonstration project, it would have been more appropriate to extend the program nearer the end of three-year period rather than after only the first full year of the program. However, I will continue aggressive oversight of this program in an effort to improve it and possibly end it in areas where it clearly is not working.

Joe Biden

Mr. President, included within this omnibus appropriations bill are two important pieces of legislation related to foreign policy. The first, produced on a bipartisan basis in the Foreign Relations Committee, is the "Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act," which involves the institutional structure of, and funding for, the foreign affairs agencies of the U.S. government. The second bill is legislation necessary to implement the Chemical Weapons Convention, a treaty approved by the Senate in April 1997.

Joe Biden

The Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act is not perfect, and unfortunately it differs in one critical respect from the original bill approved by the Senate 16 months ago. I say "unfortunately" because this bill does not contain a single dime for our UN arrears. Last year, Chairman Helms and I agreed on a proposal to authorize the payment of $926 million in arrears to the United Nations, conditioned on a series of reforms in that body. The Senate approved the Helms-Biden legislation twice in 1997, first by a vote of 90-5 in June, then by a voice vote in November.

Joe Biden

The obstacle to making good on our commitments to the United Nations? A small minority of members in the other body, who have insisted that our arrears payments to the United Nations should be held hostage to an unrelated issue regarding family planning. The specific provision -- the so-called Mexico City amendment -- would require the withholding of funds from foreign, non-governmental organizations which use their own funds to perform abortions or discuss the issue with foreign governments. The President has indicated on several occasions that he will veto any bill presented to him that contains the Mexico City language. Nonetheless, a handful of obstructionists in the other body march steadily ahead, determined to undermine U.S. foreign policy interests in order to advance their unrelated cause.

In the past few weeks, the Chairman and I attempted to include a $200 million down payment on our UN arrears, which would have been linked to certain of the conditions in the Helms-Biden legislation. But even this limited payment of our arrears proved to be too much for the members in the other body who have taken American foreign policy hostage.

It is essential that we find a way to repay our arrears next year. For better or for worse, the United Nations is a valuable means to advance our foreign policy and security interests around the world, by providing a forum for improved cooperation with other states and by allowing us, in some instances, to share the burdens and costs of world leadership.

Joe Biden

Our status as a deadbeat is unquestionably hurting our interests, not only at the UN but with our leading allies -- many of whom are owed money by the UN for peacekeeping operations they undertook, but for which we have not yet paid. The cost to our interests cannot be measured with precision, but the resentment against the United States for its failure to pay its back dues is having a corrosive effect on our agenda at the UN and elsewhere. It is bordering on scandalous that a big nation like ours, blessed with abundant wealth, has failed to pay its bills on time.

Next year, the President is expected to nominate Richard Holbrooke to be our representative to the United Nations. Ambassador Holbrooke's nomination offers us a chance for a fresh start in the negotiations on UN arrears and reforms. Mr. Holbrooke is one of the most creative diplomats and negotiators of our time, and I am confident he will bring fresh insights and endless energy to this important issue. I am also hopeful that the Chairman remains committed to trying to move legislation in the next Congress to repay the full amount agreed to last year in our negotiations.

Let me turn now to the provisions of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act that are contained in the omnibus bill. Much of the legislative history of bill is set forth in the conference report to H.R. 1757, which was approved by both houses last spring. But I would like to take a few minutes to summarize the bill and highlight several issues.

Joe Biden

First, the legislation before us establishes a framework for the reorganization of the U.S. foreign policy agencies which is consistent with the plan announced by the President in April 1997. After several years of debate, last year the President agreed to the abolishment of two foreign affairs agencies, and their merger into the State Department. The first agency to be abolished will be the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA), which will be merged into the State Department no later than April 1, 1999; the U.S. Information Agency (USIA) will follow no later than October 1, 1999. As with the President s plan, the Agency for International Development (AID) will remain a separate agency, but it will be placed under the direct authority of the Secretary of State. And, consistent with the President s proposal to seek improved coordination between the regional bureaus in the State Department and AID, the Secretary of State will have the authority to provide overall coordination of assistance policy.

The integration of ACDA and USIA into the State Department is not intended to signal the demise of the important functions now performed by these agencies. On the contrary, their merger into the Department is designed to ensure that the arms control and public diplomacy functions are key elements of American diplomacy.

In that regard, the bill establishes in law two new positions in the State Department, an Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, and an Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy. These senior officers will have primary responsibility for assisting the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of State in the formation and implementation of U.S. policy on these matters.

It is expected that the officials who will be named to these positions will be submitted to the Senate for advice and consent. The conference committee on H.R. 1757 rejected a proposal by the Executive Branch to seek authority to place officials who are now in analogous positions in these newly- created positions.

One issue of particular concern regarding ACDA in the reorganization is the need to maintain the highest standards of competence and objectivity in the analysis of compliance with arms control and non- proliferation agreements. As the Foreign Relations Committee stated in its report last year, it is vital "that the Under Secretary be able to call upon expert personnel in these areas who will not feel obligated to downplay verification or compliance issues because of any potential impact of such issues upon overall U.S. relations with another country." Chairman Helms and I have urged the Secretary of State to find a way to make the official for compliance a Senate-confirmed, Presidential appointee.

The bill puts flesh on the bones of the President's plan with regard to international broadcasting. The President's proposal was virtually silent on this question, stating only that the "distinctiveness and editorial integrity of the Voice of America and the broadcasting agencies would be preserved." The bill upholds and protects that principle by maintaining the existing government structure established by Congress in 1994 in consolidating all U.S. government-sponsored broadcasting -- the Voice of America, Radio and TV Marti, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, and Worldnet TV -- under the supervision of one oversight board known as the Broadcasting Board of Governors. Importantly, however, the Board and the broadcasters below them will not be merged into the State Department, where their journalistic integrity would be greatly at risk. Instead, the Broadcasting Board will be an independent federal entity within the Executive Branch. The Secretary of State will have a seat on the board, just as the Director of the USIA does now.

Second, the bill authorizes important funding for our diplomatic readiness, which has been severely hampered in recent years by deep reductions in the foreign affairs budget. This Congress has stopped the hemorrhaging in the foreign affairs budget, but I believe that funding for international programs remains inadequate, given our responsibilities as a great power.

Although the Cold War has ended, the need for American leadership in world affairs has not. Our diplomats represent the front line of our national defense; with the downsizing of the U.S. military presence overseas, the maintenance of a robust and effective diplomatic capability has become all the more important. Despite the reduction in our military readiness abroad, the increased importance of diplomatic readiness to our nation s security has not been reflected in the federal budget.

Significantly, this omnibus appropriations bill contains the emergency funding requested by the Administration for embassy security. The bombings of the U.S. embassies in East Africa in August demonstrate that many of our missions overseas remain highly vulnerable to terrorist attack; it is imperative that we provide the State Department the resources necessary to protect our employees serving overseas. We should understand, however, that the urgent funding in this bill is just the beginning of a long-term program to enhance security at embassies around the globe.

I am especially pleased that the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act is also incorporated in the omnibus spending bill. The Senate passed this legislation unanimously in May of 1997, and we have waited since then for the leadership of the other body to accept that complying with our international commitments is a requirement, rather than a political football. The enactment of this measure will enable the United States to file the comprehensive data declarations required by the Convention, and therefore to demand that other countries' declarations be complete. The United States will now be able to accept inspections of private facilities, and therefore to request challenge inspections of suspected illegal facilities in foreign countries. The United States will finally be able also to protect confidential business information, acquired in declarations or on-site inspections, from release under the Freedom of Information Act. After nearly 17 months of waiting, it is about time.

In closing, I want to pay tribute to Chairman Helms for his continued good faith and cooperation throughout the last two years on these and other issues. He has been the driving force behind the legislation to reorganize the foreign affairs agencies, and I congratulate him for his achievement. I also want to thank our colleagues in the other body, particularly the ranking member of the Committee on International Relations, Lee Hamilton, who is retiring this year after over three decades of noble service to his district in Indiana and to the American people. We wish him well as he moves on to new challenges.

Mr. President, I want to reiterate that we are leaving important unfinished business -- the payment of our back dues to the United Nations. It must be at the top of our agenda in the next Congress. I look forward to working with the Chairman and the Secretary of State to find a way to finish the job.

Starting with the energy crisis in the 1970s, Congress has acted on numerous occasions to provide tax credits intended to develop alternative fuels. Prior Congresses took these steps in recognition of the need to encourage the development and use of alternative fuels which promise that we as a nation will never be dependent on others for our energy resources. For example, Section 29, which expired earlier this year, and Section 45, which is due to expire next June, were both intended to encourage the development of nonconventional fuels.

Today, our nation not only needs to continue its efforts to develop alternative fuel resources, but given our ever growing energy requirements, we must consider the environmental impact that conventional and nonconventional fuels have on our environment, particularly in light of the Clean Air Act.

In Montana, we have vast coal reserves. There are technologies that can upgrade the coal from these reserves and reduce current difficulties associated with the development of these fields. However, these technologies are not likely to be developed, and therefore these vast natural resources are not likely to be used, unless Congress provides incentives to develop clean alternative fuels.

I am concerned that we have not been able to fully discuss the merits of such incentives in our budget debate this past month. For example, an extension of Section 29 was included in the Senate version of the tax extenders, but that provision was not included in the final package.

I agree with my colleague from Montana. As our nation continues to seek ways to improve environmental quality and to reduce the need for imported energy, several new technologies run the risk of not being developed if Congress does not act to provide incentives to develop clean alternative fuels.

Wind energy has long been recognized as an abundant potential source of electric power. A detailed analysis by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest Laboratory in 1991 estimated the energy potential of the U.S. wind resource at 10.8 trillion kilowatt hours annually, or more than three times total current U.S. electricity consumption. Wind energy is a clean resource that produces electricity with virtually no carbon dioxide emissions. There is nothing limited or controversial about this source of energy. Americans need only to make the necessary investments in order to capture it for power.

The Production Tax Credit, section 45 of the Internal Revenue Code was enacted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. This tax credit is a sound low-cost investment in an emerging sector of the energy industry. I introduced the first bill that contained this tax credit, so you can be sure that I am sincere in my belief in the need to develop this resource. This tax credit currently provides a 1.5 cent per kilowatt hour credit for energy produced from a new facility brought on-line after December 31, 1993 and before July 1, 1999 for the first ten years of the facility's existence. Last Fall, I introduced a bill to extend this tax credit for five years. My legislation, S. 1459, currently has 22 cosponsors, including half of the Finance Committee. The House companion legislation, introduced by Congressman Thomas, currently has 90 cosponsors, including over half of the Ways and Means Committee. These numbers are a strong testament to the importance of the section 45, and renewable fuels in general.

In addition, I plan to work to expand this tax credit to allow use of the closed-loop biomass portion of this tax credit. Switchgrass from my state and other Midwestern states, eucalyptus from the South, and other biomass, can be grown for the exclusive purpose of producing energy. This is a productive use of our land, and will be an important step in our use and development of alternative and renewable fuels.

I was very pleased to see that Congress expressed its understanding of the importance of alternative and renewable fuels by extending the ethanol tax credit in this year's T-2 legislation. These tax credits are a successful way of promoting alternative sources of energy. These tax credits are a cheap investment with high returns for ourselves, our children, our grandchildren and even their grandchildren. Congress needs to again pass this important legislation to ensure that these energy tax credits are extended into the next century.

For example, of the 64 remaining U.S. coke batteries, 58 are subject to closure as a result of the Clean Air Act. The steel industry can either use limited capital to build new clean coking facilities or they can choose to import coke from China, which uses 50 year old highly pollutant technologies. Restoring the Section 29 credit to encourage cleaner coker technologies will greatly reduce emissions and will slow our increasing dependence on foreign coke, at the same time creating jobs in the United States in both the steel and coal mining industries.

In addition, the United States has rich deposits of lignite and sub- bituminous coals. There are new technologies that can upgrade these coals to make them burn efficiently and economically, while at the same time significantly reducing air pollution.

This is proven technology, but to make the development of this technology throughout the nation feasible, the Congress needs to provide tax incentives.

The people of Wyoming have always had very strong ties to our land. That is why the words "Livestock, Oil, Grain and Mines" appear on our state seal. Those words clearly reflect the importance of our natural resources to the people of my state, and our commitment to using our abundant natural resources wisely and for the benefit of current and future generations of Wyomingites and the people of this country.

Congress has determined the need to find newer and cleaner technologies. Wyoming is blessed with an abundance of clean burning coal reserves. It would seem to be a perfect match. We are eager to provide what is needed for our country's present and future fuel needs. But those reserves aren't likely to be developed unless we provide the incentives necessary to make it possible for the coal to be harvested in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.

I concur with my colleagues. The development and production of alternative fuels provides a real opportunity for the country to improve the environment while ensuring a constant, reasonably priced fuel supply. But recent efforts to provide such assurances have been hampered. For example, in the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, Congress extended the placed-in-service date for facilities producing synthetic fuels from coal, and gas from biomass for eighteen months.

However, progress in bringing certain facilities up to full production has been hampered by the Administration's 1997 proposal to shorten the placed-in-service date and because, in many cases, the technology used to produce the fuels is new. Such delays have created uncertainty regarding the facilities eligibility under the placed-in- service requirement of Section 29 While it is important that the Congress consider again this issue in the 106th Congress, I would also urge the Secretary to consider the facilities I mentioned qualified under Section 29 if they met the Service's criteria for placed-in-service by June 30, 1998 whether or not such facilities were consistently producing commercial quantities of marketable products on a daily basis.

I agree with my colleagues. Through the section 29 tax credit for nonconventional fuels, Congress has supported the development of environmentally friendly fuels from domestic biomass and coal resources. There are lignite resources in my state that could compete in the energy marketplace if we can find a reasonable incentive for the investment in the necessary technology. As soon as possible in the 106th Congress, I hope we will give this crucial subject the attention it deserves.

Earlier this year I, along with 18 of my colleagues, introduced a bill that would extend for eight months the placed-in-service date for coal and biomass facilities. The need still exists to extend this date and I am very disappointed that this was not included.

Max Baucus

Mr. President, I want to join my colleagues in supporting tax incentives for alternative fuels. Our country has assumed a leadership role in the reduction of greenhouse gases because of the global importance of pollution reduction. As my colleagues have also pointed out, promotion of alternative fuels is not just an environmental issue, but an issue important to our domestic economy and independence as well. We cannot afford to slip back toward policies which will leave us dependent upon foreign sources of oil for our economic growth.

With the huge reserves of coal and lignite in the United States and around the world, as well as the tremendous potential for use of biomass, wind energy, and other alternatives, it is particularly important to our economy and the world's environment that new, more environmentally friendly fuels are brought to market here and in developing nations.

But bringing new technologies to market is financially risky. In particular, finding investors to take a new technology from the laboratory to the market is difficult because so many technical problems need full-scale testing and operations to resolve. Few investors are prepared to take on the risks associated with bringing a first-of-a-kind, full-sized alternative energy production facility on- line without some level of security provided by a partnership with the federal government.

There are two principle reasons I support extension of Section 29 and 45. First, in a period where America is continuing to increase its dependence on foreign oil, we need to develop alternative fuel technologies to prepare for the day when foreign supply of oil is reduced. These tax credits have spurred the production of fuel from sources as diverse as biomass, coal, and wind. America will desperately need fuel from these domestic sources when foreign producers reduce imports.

Second, the alternative fuels that earn these tax credits are clean fuels. For example, the capture and reuse of landfill methane prevents the methane from escaping into the atmosphere. I will support my colleagues in an effort next year to extend these provisions.

I join my colleagues in support of extending the tax credit for Fuel Production from Nonconventional Sources. Through this credit, Congress has emphasized the importance of establishing alternative energy sources, furthering economic development, and protecting the environment. The alternative fuels credit strikes a proper balance between each of these objectives. I support efforts to bring this issue to a satisfactory conclusion, early in the next Congress.

I strongly agree with my colleagues regarding the importance of the Section 29 tax credit. Wyoming has some of the nation's largest coal reserves and this tax credit gives producers an incentive to develop new and innovative technologies for the use of coal. I am disappointed that an extension of the Section 29 tax credit was not included in the Omnibus Appropriations package and urge my colleagues to make this matter a top priority during the 106th Congress.

I understand my colleagues' concerns. For some time now I have been studying how to provide targeted incentives to develop clean alternative fuels. It is essential for Congress to develop sound tax policy for alternative energy to help protect our environment. Several weeks ago, I introduced legislation to provide such incentives for facilities that produce energy from poultry waste. I look forward to working with my colleagues on these issues early in the 106th Congress.

Mr. President, I would like to thank the distinguished chairman and ranking member of the Committee on Finance for their continuing work on the research and experimentation tax credit, which is extended through June of 1999 by this legislation. In my capacity as ranking member of the Joint Economic Committee, I have taken a strong personal interest in the research credit and how it can be made into an effective permanent incentive. It is potentially the most important incentive in our tax code for stimulating long-term economic growth, and I believe that we need to make every effort in the upcoming session of Congress to establish a permanent credit for research and development.

In the course of these efforts, we need to keep in mind the substantive issues that are intrinsic to the goal, shared by many of my colleagues, of a permanent effective R&D tax policy. Can we make the credit more equitable, to give all R&D-performing firms incentives to increase their R&D? Can it be made more effective for the industries that have historically invested heavily in research and development? Can it be made more accessible by small businesses, which are a growing sector of our nation's R&D and promise to be a leading source of high- wage job growth? And can it further encourage research partnerships -- crossing the institutional boundaries of industry, universities, and public-benefit consortia -- that lay the groundwork for our future technology and medicine through long-term R&D investments?

In the negotiations of the past few weeks, Congress came alarmingly close to not extending the credit at all. I am concerned that until we address the substantive issues outlined above, the R&D credit is likely to continue to teeter along in its current state of uncertainty, and that under its current structure it will perform less and less effectively, as an incentive and as an economic stimulus. I am joined in these concerns by economists who have studied the credit and by senior leaders of R&D-intensive corporations. As the distinguished chairman and ranking member know, I and other Senators have introduced legislation to address these issues in this Congress. Obviously, time does not permit us to address these issues at this point, but I would ask them whether they would be willing to have the Committee on Finance consider these issues in the next Congress, in preparation for further legislative action on the credit?

Bill Roth

I welcome the suggestion made by the Senator from New Mexico. I believe that the issues that the raises are important ones, and that his suggestions for comprehensive improvements are worthy of further consideration by the Committee. I am aware that several of our other colleagues, including Senators Domenici, Hatch, and Baucus, are also keenly interested in the future of the credit, and I look forward to working with all of our colleagues who are interested in these issues in the next Congress.

I thank the Subcommittee Chairman for his commitment to this provision in the bill. The Commerce Secretary has agreed that closing the Williston weather station would amount to a degradation of weather service. It is critical, therefore, that Congress send a strong signal that the station at Williston be kept fully operational.

I will tell the Senator from North Dakota that it is the intent of the conferees that the National Weather Service maintain operations at Williston and the other sites, and further that the NWS take no actions which would suggest an intent to close these offices. Any actions taken towards closure of these offices will signal to the Congress that there will be a resulting degradation of service.

Is it correct to say that the fact that specific funds are being provided to the National Weather Service to maintain operations at the offices which were identified in the 1995 Secretary's report signals that the Congress expects these offices to continue and that the NWS ought not to be taking any actions that would suggest that these offices will be closed?

Yes, that is correct. We believe that with respect to these specific offices, including Williston, North Dakota, the NWS modernization plan has not sufficiently demonstrated that service will not be degraded without these offices. The Congress does not want the NWS to close these offices at this time and we are providing specific appropriations to ensure their continued operations. I would also add that we expect the NWS to use these additional funds to develop the appropriate systems to address the unique weather coverage shortfalls that exist for these specific communities.

I realize that the most difficult problem for Williston, North Dakota is the absence of local radar coverage at low altitudes. We expect that the NWS will use these funds and work cooperatively with the local residents in Williston to mitigate that concern.

Mr. President, I would like to explain section 109 of Division C regarding the registration of container chassis. This section addresses the application of registration fees to trailers used exclusively for the purpose of transporting ocean shipping containers, which the Section refers to as "container chassis." The section provides that a State, such as California, that requires annual registration and apportioned fees for container chassis may not limit the operation, or require the registration in the State, of a container chassis registered in another State, if the container chassis is operating under a trip permit issued by the non-registration State. Further, the non-registration State may not impose fines or penalties on the operation of such a container chassis for being operated in the non-registration State without a registration issued by that State. For example, the Attorney General of California or any other person in California, may not seek to impose fines or penalties from companies operating container chassis in California, when the container chassis are registered in another state such as Maine or Tennessee.

Further, under this language, a State that requires annual registration of container chassis and apportionment of fees for such registration may not deny the use of trip permits for the operation in the State of a container chassis that is registered under the laws of another State. A trip permit provides for a daily use fee that is the prorated annual registration fees for the vehicle. Under the section, a trip permit is required only on days when the container chassis is actually operating on the State's roads and not, for example, when it remains at an ocean terminal for the entire day.

This section also provides that a State, political subdivision or person may not, with respect to a container chassis registered in another State, impose or collect any fee, penalty, fine, or other form of damages which is based in whole or in part on the nonpayment of a State's registration related fees attributable to a container chassis operated in the State before the date of enactment of this section unless it is shown by the State, political subdivision or person that the container chassis was operated in the State without a trip permit issued by the State.

This provision is intended to prevent the imposition of any liability on this basis for the current and past practice of many companies in the container shipping industry which register chassis in one State and operate them in another State under trip permits issued by the non- registration State. The provision is intended to ensure that past and current practices which are consistent with the objectives of this section will not be the basis for the imposition of fees, penalties, fines or other forms of damages on this segment of the Nation's intermodal transportation system.

Using the congressional power to regulate interstate commerce, this section is intended to facilitate movement of containerized cargo in interstate commerce and to remove an unreasonable impediment to interstate commerce. It simplifies and rationalizes registration requirements for this critically important segment of the Nation's interstate intermodal transportation system.

It is important to note that extensive discussion and consideration was given to this section. Members from the Senate Commerce Committee, Appropriations Committee, and the House Appropriations and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee worked on this language and came to the conclusion that it is necessary. It is clearly the intent of both Chambers of Congress that States, such as California and others, which want to limit the operation of chassis that are not registered in their State, are prohibited from doing so. Further, it is clearly the intent of both Chambers of Congress that States, such as California and others, are prohibited from collecting fines or penalties from companies which register chassis in another State and operate under a trip permit issued by the State where the chassis is operated.

Mr. President, Yogi Berra, explaining the difficulty of playing in the afternoon sun and shadows of Yankee Stadium's notorious left field is reported to have commented, "It gets late early." We have before the Senate a huge Omnibus Appropriations and Emergency Supplemental bill which spends more than $486 billion and legislates across a broad range of issues of great importance. We are faced now with this massive, sweeping legislation because the 105th Congress did not do its work. In the 105th Congress, it got late early.

From the very outset of this Congress, the majority leadership set a slow pace and avoided fully addressing the major issues before the Nation. The 105th Congress failed to reform our campaign finance laws, failed even to debate a patient's bill of rights, failed to act on legislation to reduce tobacco use by our young people, failed to even to take up serious regulatory reform, and failed to address the problems looming in the future of Social Security. In fact, this Congress, failed, this year to even meet its responsibility, under law, to pass a budget, the first time this has occurred. And, it failed to complete work on 8 of the 13 appropriations bills required to run the government. Two appropriations bills were never even debated by the Senate and a third was never passed. On top of that dozens of legislative proposals were added to this bill which were never debated and considered in the Senate.

The failure to pass the appropriations bills, as required, prior to end of the fiscal year on October 1, led directly to the process that confronts us with this monster Omnibus Appropriations bill today, a four thousand plus page bill which we were unable to even begin reading until yesterday.

Carl Levin

The Founders of our Nation envisioned a careful contemplative legislative process which divided power and sought to assure that the people would be well represented. The process which we have recently witnessed was hardly that. It was a closed process, which greatly excluded Democrats in the House and Senate, enhancing the powers of the Republican leaders of the House and Senate and in an extra- Constitutional fashion bringing the President into a legislative role. Where the Congress was more fully represented, its representation was limited to the members and leaders of the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate. This, despite the fact that legislation was included affecting the jurisdictions of many, if not all, of the authorizing committees. And then, the entire package was lumped together and dumped here on the Senate floor on a take it or leave it basis. Senators have no opportunity to attempt to amend this product, merely to vote yes or no. Never before in my memory have we been confronted with appropriations bills and legislative provisions on so massive a scale which have never even been considered in either the House or Senate.

The President, and Democrats in the Congress have won some important victories in this bill. However, even as we acknowledge and applaud those victories, we must be mindful of the precedents which we set when we accept this terrible process. Congress should not abdicate its responsibilities. That is why I joined with Senators Byrd and Moynihan in fighting the line-item veto in the courts, a battle which was successful and that is why I am distressed by the process which creates the bill on the floor today, an ad-hoc process at best and a process which effectively disenfranchises many Americans by short-changing their representation, at worst. And that is why, although this legislation contains many provisions of which I approve, and although I applaud the work of the Administration and Democrats in Congress in winning important provisions in this bill, I do not support this wretched process and cannot in good conscience vote for this bill.

Among the most important positive aspects of this legislation is that the bill provides additional funding for education. The President and Democrats in the Congress put forward an education package early this year. This bill finally acts on key elements of that package, providing a $1.2 billion downpayment on reducing class size by hiring new teachers across the country. In addition, the bill includes $698 million for education technology, the $260 million that the President requested for child literacy, $871 million for summer jobs, a $301 million increase for title I, $491 million for Goals 2000, and a $313 million increase for Head Start.

Unfortunately, the bill excludes the President's school modernization initiative which would have leveraged nearly $22 billion in bonds to build and renovate schools. Hopefully, we can revisit this issue in the next Congress.

Also, I am pleased that the bill contains language which is a first step toward restructuring the home health care payment system. I have been concerned about this problem for some time now. I was an original co-sponsor of Senator Collins' Medicare Health Equity Act of 1998 I believe the provision in the Omnibus bill will create a payment system which is somewhat more equitable than the current system. Under our current system, health care providers in Michigan have too often been penalized for prudent efficient use of Medicare resources, and that is wrong.

In addition to the nearly six billion dollars in the bill for emergency assistance to farmers who have been hurt by low prices, drought and natural disasters, it contains important money for Michigan agriculture for research on subjects from fireblight to wood utilization. There is a provision to make apple growers in West Michigan, who suffered fireblight-related tree loss in disastrous storms, eligible for the Tree Assistance Program. The bill provides the President's request for an enhanced food safety incentive, plus an increase in the National Research Initiative of $7.4 million for nutrition, food quality and health. Some of these additional funds could and should be used by the Secretary to help develop safer substitutes for pesticides that might be discontinued in implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act. Also, the agreement includes $300,000 for a study of the WIC food package nutritional guidelines finally looking at the benefits of including dried fruit in WIC cereals.

I am pleased that the bill continues a moratorium on the use of funds to increase the CAFE standard for passenger cars and light-duty trucks. Given the low-price of gasoline and the continued high consumer demand for larger, safer vehicles, which are made most efficiently by U.S. manufacturers, increasing CAFE would only harm the U.S. economy and deprive consumers.

I am disappointed funding for the National Contaminated Sediments Task Force which I requested was not included in the bill. I am concerned that this will mean that the existing uncoordinated Federal approach will continue to fail in adequately cleaning up contaminated sediments and preventing further contamination.

There will be an additional $400,000 above the President's request split between operations and acquisition at Keweenaw National Historical Park. The bill includes $800,000 for land acquisition at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and $2.25 million for the final phase for acquisition of lands from the Great Lakes Fishery Trust as part of the Consumers Energy Ludington settlement.

This agreement provides the budget request for the International Joint Commission so that negotiations with the Canadians can begin in earnest to prevent the export of Great Lakes water. The bill includes $6.825 million for the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor. Funds ($50,000) for a study of the erosion problems in Grand Marais Harbor are also included. Unfortunately, the bill does not include the Senate's increase of $1 million above the budget request for the Great Lakes Fishery Commission to combat the sea lamprey in St. Mary's River.

Overall, the bill provides the highest level of funding for the Federal Highway Administration in history, at $25.5 billion. That is relatively good news, though, unfortunately, the negotiators have included over $300 million in new highway money to be handed to four different states in an apparent effort to bypass the allocation formulas in TEA-21 that were the subject of much debate earlier this year.

The bill does contain $10 million for new buses and bus facilities across facilities, and $600,000 for the Capital Area Transit Authority in Lansing. And, $200,000 for a study of the viability of commuter rail in Southeastern Michigan.

Carl Levin

As a cosponsor of legislation to delay implementation of Section 110 of the 1996 Immigration Reform bill, which was scheduled to go into effect on September 30, 1998, requiring individuals entering the U.S. at the Canadian border to complete a visa card at the point of entry and register at the time of exit, I am pleased to note that this bill contains language delaying the provision for 30 months. However, it should be repealed, not just delayed.

I am pleased that the bill does not include the House version of the Auto Salvage Title bill since the House dropped the Levin amendment which I successfully attached to the Senate bill. The House version would have preempted state laws that provide tougher consumer protection.

If Congress had not provided this emergency funding, there would have been disastrous consequences for the readiness and the morale of our forces serving in, and in support of, Bosnia. We all regret that the implementation of the civilian aspects of the Dayton Accords has not gone as fast as we hoped it would, but Congress has done the right thing by providing the necessary funding to ensure the readiness of our forces.

This omnibus bill also contains the funds requested by the President for the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization, also known as KEDO. This funding is crucial to continuing the Agreed Framework between the United States and North Korea. That agreement is our best hope for denuclearizing North Korea and has provided tangible security benefits to our nation.

Previous legislation would have effectively prevented the funding of KEDO, and thus given North Korea an excuse for walking away from the Agreed Framework. That could have led North Korea to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons, which would cast the Korean Peninsula into an unnecessary and dangerous crisis. This outcome is the right one.

There are many positive aspects of this legislation for our national security, but I am disappointed that so much of the "emergency" funding in this bill for national security programs is not for readiness and not for emergencies, but for things the Defense Department and the administration never asked for, in particular the addition of $1 billion for ballistic missile defense. Of course, that $1 billion for ballistic missile defense cannot be spent unless the President submits an emergency request for these funds. I fully expect the Administration will exercise good judgement in deciding whether or not to request these funds as an emergency.

Not only is the money added to this bill for missile defense and intelligence programs going to fund programs that the administration did not request funding for on an emergency basis, again, these are programs for which the administration did not request funding at all.

Furthermore, with regard to missile defense, adding this funding is in direct contradiction to the testimony of the Secretary of Defense and other senior officials of the Department of Defense who told the Armed Services Committee that while there was one instance in which additional funds could accelerate a program, the Navy Upper Tier program, in general the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization is proceeding as fast as it can with all our missile defense programs and their development is constrained by technology, not funding availability.

In recent testimony to the Armed Services Committee, senior defense and military leaders told us that the National Missile Defense (NMD) program is going as fast as it can, and that adding more money will not make it go faster. Deputy Secretary of Defense John Hamre told the Committee: "As a practical matter, we are moving as fast as we can to develop the elements of an NMD system. Even with more money, we couldn't go any faster." He later emphasized that "this is as close as we can get in the Department of Defense to a Manhattan Project. We are pushing this very fast." During that same hearing, General Joseph Ralston, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Committee that the NMD program enjoys a unique and privileged status within the Defense Department. He said: "I know of no other program in the Department of Defense that has had as many constraints removed in terms of oversight and reviews just so we can deploy it and develop it as quickly as possible." On October 6th, Secretary of Defense William Cohen testified to the Armed Services Committee that the NMD program is being developed as fast as possible and additional money will not speed it up: "I have talked to the head of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and he has assured me that no amount of money will accelerate that timetable . . ." He went on to say that "I cannot accelerate it no matter what we do." So, it is clear that the Defense Department is proceeding as fast as possible to develop a National Missile Defense system, and that more money will not make this go any faster. Furthermore, the Defense Department has told us that only one program could be accelerated with more money. I would note that Congress added $120 million to the Navy Upper Tier program this year to accelerate it, cut funds from other theater missile defense programs and made no attempt in the regular legislative process to add any money for National Missile Defense. So this unrequested missile defense money cannot speed up most of the programs that are now being developed. It is not clear what it would be for, but it is clear that the Defense Department never asked for it.

A few weeks ago, the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were criticized by some of my colleagues on the Armed Services Committee during our hearings with them for not speaking up soon enough or forcefully enough about concerns they had with aspects of our defense program.

Mr. President, it seems a little inconsistent to me for the Congress to criticize the Pentagon for not speaking up and then after they express themselves very clearly on the status of the missile defense program, we ignore their testimony and do the opposite of what they say.

I am also disappointed that this legislation perpetuates the practice of not fully funding our obligations to the United Nations. It is in the national security interest of the United States to have an effective United Nations and strong U.S. leadership within the United Nations. It is especially regrettable that this legislation moves us in the opposite direction in order to score political points on the abortion issue.

Mr. President, the bill that we are voting on today includes S. 2176, the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, with several amendments. This legislation clarifies and updates the current Vacancies Act, an 1868 law meant to encourage the Administration to make timely nominations to fill positions in the Executive Branch requiring the Senate's advice and consent.

First, the Vacancies Act provisions in this bill make it explicit that the Vacancies Act is the sole exclusive statutory authority for filling advice and consent positions on a temporary basis. It can no longer be argued that other general statutory authorities creating or organizing agencies supersede the Vacancies Act and authorize temporary officials, who have not been confirmed by the Senate, to serve indefinitely.

Second, the legislation updates the Vacancies Act in several significant respects to more accurately reflect the realities of today's nominations process. The clearance process for nominees requiring Senate confirmation has become much more complex than it was just a decade ago. Moreover, increasingly adversarial confirmation proceedings have required that background investigations and other steps in the vetting process be more thorough and lengthy. In recognition of this development, the legislation increases the time period that an individual can serve in an acting position from 120 days under current law to 210 days from the date of the vacancy. If a nomination is sent to the Senate during that 210 day period, an individual may serve in an acting capacity until the Senate has completed action on the nomination. Moreover, the legislation gives a new Administration an additional time period of 90 days to submit its nominations in the first year. The legislation allows first assistants, other Senate-confirmed officials, and other qualified high-level agency employees to serve as acting officials.

Finally, the legislation creates an action-enforcing mechanism to encourage our presidents to promptly submit nominations. Specifically, the legislation provides that if no nomination to fill a vacant position is submitted within the 210 day period, the position remains vacant and any duties assigned exclusively to the position by statute can be performed only by the agency head. As soon as a nomination is submitted, however, the legislation provides that an acting official can assume the job until the Senate acts on the nomination.

The legislation also includes an amendment I authored to address the problem of lengthy recesses or adjournments. The bill allows a person to serve in an acting capacity in a vacant position once a nomination is submitted, regardless of whether the nomination is submitted within or after the 210 day time period. This is a clarification the legislation makes to current law. However, there was no provision to allow a person to serve in an acting capacity after the 210 day time period if the nomination is made during a recess or adjournment of the Senate. My amendment, incorporated into the enacted legislation as section 3349d, provides that during such long recesses, the President's submission of a written notification that he or she intends to nominate a designated person promptly when the Senate reconvenes triggers the provision of the bill that allows a person to act in the position temporarily until the Senate acts on the nomination. This allows the President to fill a vacant position with an acting person during a long recess of the Senate provided the President has identified the person whose nomination will be submitted when the Senate returns.

Mr. President, I want to commend my colleagues Senator Byrd and Senator Thurmond for their leadership and sponsorship of legislation to amend the Vacancies Act. They identified a serious problem in the failure of Administrations past and present to comply with their responsibilities under the existing law to promptly nominate persons to fill advice and consent positions. They worked diligently to resolve the various conflicts over this legislation, and I am pleased we were able to bring this legislation to a responsible and timely conclusion.

As we adopt these reforms to the Vacancies Act, we should not forget that as Senators we have a corresponding duty to act promptly and responsibly on nominations once they are submitted by the Administration. We as the Senate rightfully want to protect our Constitutional prerogative to provide advice and consent on nominations. However, we must by the same token discharge these duties in a conscientious and timely manner.

Mr. President, I also want to mention one piece of legislation which the Congress failed to address this year and which was not folded into this Omnibus Appropriations bill in the final hours of this Congress. I am very disappointed that we were not able to enact legislation to improve the regulatory process this year. Senator Thompson and I sponsored S. 981, the Regulatory Improvement Act. We had two hearings on the bill and marked it up in the Governmental Affairs Committee back in March of this year. It was reported to the full Senate for consideration in May. The Administration signaled its support for the bill with certain agreed-to changes in July. And, we've been urging that the Majority Leader bring the bill to the floor since that time. The bill now has 17 Republican and 8 Democratic cosponsors.

S. 981 is a reasonable approach to improving the regulatory process by requiring cost-benefit analysis and risk assessment for our most significant regulations. It would bring meaningful reform to the way the federal government adopts its regulations, and it would make the rulemaking process far more open and interactive. We lost a great opportunity this year and invested a lot of hard work and effort.

Included in the Senate Appropriations Committee Report accompanying the Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1999, is a provision directing that additional research be conducted on a product that I believe could greatly improve highway pavement quality and maintenance. I am speaking of the use of fiber polymer additives -- also known as "binders" -- in asphalt and concrete, the use of which appears to yield significant results in pavement quality and longevity.

While only a limited amount of research has been completed on this product, the few applications tested under real world circumstances have shown very positive results. If this product is as good as it appears to be in initial test results, it would revolutionize the industry and save states and the Federal Government significant resources for use on other critical infrastructure needs.

Not only does this product appear to add significant longevity to pavement life, it also serves an environmental benefit. Mr. Chairman, as you know, recycling allows us to conserve our natural resources, it diverts additional material from our landfills, and saves energy. A company in my home state of South Carolina, Martin Color-Fi, Inc., has empirical data that shows substantially improved life expectancy for highways constructed with polymer additives in the pavement. Their success, and that of others in this area, is encouraging news for improving the quality and longevity of our Nation's highways.

I note that the Statement of Manager's language accompanying the Transportation title of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, unlike the Senate Committee report, does not specify the amount of funds in the Highway Research, Development and Technology Program for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to conduct additional demonstrations of this technology. It is my understanding that Chairman Shelby shares my commitment to this research. Further, it is my understanding that he and other members of the committee would join me in strongly encouraging FHWA to work with an academic institution, and give priority consideration to applying at least the amount of research funds specified in the Senate-passed Transportation Appropriations bill, in order to create an academic and industry-led consortium to demonstrate the application of polymer additives in pavement for civil engineering purposes.

The Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee directed that $2 million be committed for further research into polymer additives. Limited resources prohibited us from committing additional resources to this effort.

There were legitimate reasons to vote against the omnibus appropriations bill. This process was an insult to the Congress. The Republic leadership has put the Congress in an untenable position by refusing to pass many appropriations bills in regular order. I chose to vote for this legislation because of the important things it does for Massachusetts and the nation, and because I do not believe it is useful to cast a protest vote. I am hopeful that in the 106th Congress we can engage in a true legislative process.

John Kerry

The Federal government had run a deficit continuously for more than 30 years until last year. It soared to dangerous levels in the 1980s during the Reagan and Bush Administrations. As a result of these deficits, our national debt multiplied several times, exacting a heavy toll on our economy, increasing interest rates, squeezing federal spending and making debt service one of the largest expenditures in the Federal budget.

John Kerry

In 1993, following President Clinton's election, we began the long journey back from crushing deficits and toward fiscal responsibility by passing an enormously successful economic plan. The full power of our economy was unleashed: unemployment is at record low; interest rats are subdued; and economic growth continues to be strong. This path culminated in last years; agreement to balance the budget and provide substantial broad-based tax relief for working American families and small businesses.
