John McCain

Mr. President, I rise to introduce legislation to authorize the distribution of judgment funds to eligible tribal members of the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona. Identical legislation unanimously passed the Senate last year, but was not able to be considered by the House of Representatives prior to the adjournment of the 107th Congress.

The Gila River Indian Community Judgment Fund Distribution Act resolves two half-century old claims by the Gila River tribe against the United States for failure to meet Federal obligations to protect the community's use of water from the Gila River and Salt River in Arizona. The original complaint was filed before the Indian Claims Commission on August 8, 1951. In 1982, the United States Court of Claims confirmed liability of the United States to the community, and recently the settlement of these two claims was determined to be 7 million.

So much time has passed that the Indian Claims Commission formerly in charge of fund distributions no longer exists. However, a debt does not disappear. The judgment award has since been transferred from the Indian Claims Commission to a trust account on behalf of the community, managed by the Office of Trust Management at the Department of the Interior.

This judgment award was certified by the Treasury Department on October 6, 1999 for the final portion of the litigation to the two remaining dockets of the Gila River Indian Community. Since that time, the community has been working with the BIA in an attempt to finalize a use and distribution plan to submit to Congress for approval. As outlined in its plan, the community has decided to distribute the judgment award equally to eligible tribal members.

The purpose of this legislation is to comply with Federal regulations which requires congressional approval for distribution of judgment funds to tribal members. The terms of the legislation reflect an agreement by all parties for a distribution plan for final approval by the Congress. As part of this legislation, the BIA is also seeking to resolve remaining expert assistance loans by the Gila River Indian Community, the Oglala Sioux Tribe, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida, as originally authorized by the Indian Claims Commission.

Members of the Gila River Indian Community have waited half a century for final resolution of all their legal claims regarding this matter. After considerable delay, it is only fair to resolve this matter and provide compensation as soon as possible. I hope that my colleagues will act quickly to move this legislation through the process.

John McCain

The Congress enacted legislation to establish the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution in 1998, with the purpose of offering an alternative to litigation for parties in dispute over environmental conflicts. As we know, many environmental conflicts often result in lengthy and costly court proceedings and may take years to resolve. In cases involving Federal Government agencies, the costs for court proceeding are usually paid for by taxpayers. While litigation is still a recourse to resolve disputes, the Congress recognized the need for alternatives, such as mediation and facilitated collaboration, to address the rising number of environmental conflicts that have clogged Federal courts, executive agencies, and the Congress.

The Institute was placed at the Morris K. Udall Foundation in recognition of former Representative Morris K. Udall from Arizona and his exceptional environmental record, as well as his unusual ability to build a consensus amoung fractious and even hostile interests. The Institute was established as an experiment with the idea that hidden within fractured environmental debates lay the seeds for many agreements, an approach applied by Mo Udall with unsurpassed ability.

The success of the Institute is far greater than we could have imagined. The Institute began operations in 1999 and has already provided assistance to parties in more than 100 environmental conflicts across 30 states.

Agencies from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Departments of Interior and Agriculture, the U.S. Navy, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and others have all called upon the Institute for assistance. Even the Federal courts are referring cases to the Institute for mediation, including such high profile cases as the management of endangered salmon throughout the Columbia River Basin in the Northwest.

The Institution also assisted in facilitating interagency temawork for the Everglades Task Force which oversees the South Everglades Restoration Project. The U.S. Forest Service requested assistance to bring ranchers and environmental advocates in the southwest to work on grazing and environmental compliance issues. Even members of Congress have sought the Institute's assistance to review implementation of the Nation's fundamental environmental law, the National Environmental Policy Act, to assess how it can be improved using collaborative processes.

The Institute accomplishes its work by maintaining a national roster of 180 environmental mediators and facilitators located in 39 states. We believe that mediators should be involved in the geographic area of the dispute whenever possible and that system is working.

The demand on the Institute's assistance had been much greater than anticipated. At the time the Institute was created, we did not anticipate the magnitude of the role it would serve to the Federal Government. The Institute has served as a mediator between agencies and as an advisor to agency dispute resolution efforts involving overlapping or competing jurisdictions and mandates, developing long- term solutions, training personnel in consensus-building efforts, and designing international systems for preventing or resolving disputes.

Unfortunately, experience has also taught us that most Federal agencies are limited from participating because of inadequate funds to pay for mediation services. This legislation will authorize a participation fund to be used to support meaningful participation of parties to Federal environmental disputes. The participation fund will provide matching funds to stakeholders who cannot otherwise afford mediation fees or costs of providing technical assistance.

John McCain

In addition to creating this new participation fund, this legislation simply extends the authorization for the Institute for an additional five years with a modest increase in its operation budget. The proposed increase is in response to the overwhelming demand on the Institute's services, an investment that will ultimately benefit taxpayers by preventing costly litigation.

John McCain

Mr. President, I am reintroducing legislation today to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a special resource study of sites associated with the life of Cesar Estrada Chavez. Chavez is one of the most revered public servants in our history for his leadership in helping organize migrant farm workers, and for providing inspiration to those most oppressed in our society. He is an exemplary American hero. It is important that we honor his struggle and do what we can to preserve certain sites located in Arizona, California and other States that are significant to his life.

John McCain

Cesar Chavez, a fellow Arizonan born in Yuma, was the son of migrant farm workers. He no doubt loved qualities of life associated with his family's Hispanic heritage, but he will be remembered for the sincerity of his American patriotism. He fought to help Americans transcend distinctions of experience, and share equally in the rights and responsibilities of freedom. He made America a bigger and better nation.

While Chavez and his family migrated across the southwest looking for farm work, he evolved into a defender to worker's rights. He founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, which latter became the United Farm Workers of America. Essentially, he gave a voice to those that had no voice. In his words: "We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community. . .our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own." I introduced this legislation last October and received an overwhelming positive response, not only from my constituents in Arizona, but from Americans all across the nation. Similar legislation was introduced by Congresswoman Hilda Solis, D-CA, in September 2001. The bill specifically authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to determine whether any of the sites meet the criteria for being listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. The study would be conducted within three years. The goal of this legislation is to establish a foundation for a future bill that will designate land for these sites to become historic landmarks.

Cesar Chavez was a humble man of deep conviction who understood what it meant to serve and sacrifice for others. He was a true American hero who embodied the values of justice and freedom this nation holds dear. Honoring the places of his life will enable his legacy to inspire and serve as an example for our future leaders.

Kay Bailey Hutchison

Since the 9/11 attacks, we in Congress, working with the Administration, the aviation industry, and the flying public have made tremendous progress in transportation security. Together we have created the new Department of Homeland Security, signifying the largest governmental reorganization in 50 years. We have created the Transportation Security Administration, TSA, and worked together with the Administration to hire and train over 40,000 new security employees. We have invested heavily in our personnel and equipment, and we have revamped screening procedures in virtually every aspect of passenger air travel.

Today, there is no doubt in my mind that the traveling public is considerably safer than we were on September 10, 2001. That is important to recognize. I think it is also important to note that our progress is due in large part to those Americans who continue to patiently cooperate with personnel during the security overhaul. The importance of their contributions and vigilance during this time cannot be overstated. With their cooperation, passengers today are screened more carefully. Bags are being checked more thoroughly, and we all are traveling under a more secure system.

While our efforts in the 107th Congress have dramatically improved our transportation security, we in the 108th must continue to strive for seamless security operations. This responsibility includes closing the cargo security loophole. It just does not make any sense to go to the trouble of inconveniencing airline passengers with security screening and baggage checking if we are then willing to leave the contents of the plane's belly unchecked. Currently, twenty-two percent of all air cargo in the U.S. is carried on passenger flights, only a tiny fraction of which is inspected. That is inexcusable.

The measures that I am introducing today, with my good friend from California, Dianne Feinstein, have already received the unanimous support of the full Senate, as well as the Commerce Committee last year. The purpose of the Air Cargo Security Act will be to strengthen air cargo security on all commercial flights. Specifically, this bill establishes a more reliable known shipper program by requiring random shipping facility inspections, creating an accessible shipper database, and providing for tamper-proof identification cards for airport personnel. It also gives the TSA the tools required to hold shippers accountable for the contents they ship by allowing the Administration to revoke the license of a shipper and freight forwarder engaged in unsound or illegal practices.

This legislation also requires the TSA to develop a comprehensive training program for cargo professionals as well as an approved cargo security plan. The rules and procedures that are strengthened in this bill were developed in consultation with the TSA, the airlines, and the cargo carriers to ensure that the requirements were aggressive. Working together has allowed us to remain sensitive to the airline industry that finds itself in dire financial straits.

What this vote boils down to is the simple question of, "Are we going to continue doing everything we can to ensure the safety of our passenger airplanes?" By closing the cargo security loophole and passing the Air Cargo Security Act, we will demonstrate our commitment to finishing the job we started after 9/11/01.

I strongly believe that we must increase our defenses across the board to anticipate the next attack, not just correct the vulnerabilities that were already exploited by terrorists on September 11th.

The General Accounting Office report shows that Congress must require the TSA to develop a strategic plan to screen and inspect air cargo to protect our Nation's air transportation system. According to this report, our air cargo system remains vulnerable to a terrorist attack because: first, there aren't enough safeguards in place to ensure that someone shipping air cargo under the "known shipper" program has taken the proper steps to protect against use by terrorists; second, cargo tampering is possible at various points where cargo transfers from company to company; third, air cargo handlers are not required to have criminal background checks, and they do not always have their identification verified; fourth and most importantly, most cargo shipped by air is never screened.

The legislation we are reintroducing today, directs the TSA to: 1. Develop a strategic plan to ensure the security of all air cargo; 2. Establish an industry-wide pilot program database of known shippers; 3. set up a training program for handlers to learn how to safe-guard cargo from tampering; and 4. Inspect air cargo shipping facilities on a regular basis.

The Aviation Security Act Congress passed after September 11 required the Transportation Security Administration to screen and inspect air cargo "as soon as practicable." This report shows we cannot wait any longer. The time is now for the Senate to again take up this legislation, again pass this legislation, and for the TSA to prevent terrorists from tampering with the cargo loaded into the underbelly of our airplanes.

The TSA has a great deal of options at its disposal. The TSA could: screen air cargo for explosives; secure cargo with high-tech seals; control access to holding areas containing cargo; use cargo tracking systems; install more cameras in cargo areas at airports; use blast resistant containers; have more bomb-sniffing dogs; put cargo in decompression chambers before loading it onto an aircraft; require the identity of people making air cargo deliveries to be checked; establish an industrywide computer profiling system; require criminal background checks for employees at freight forwarders and consolidators; and require third party inspections.

We do not expect the TSA to X-ray and scan all cargo for explosives because shippers and carriers would be able to process only 4 percent of cargo received daily, which would severely disrupt the air cargo industry. However, the Federal Government can deploy a combination of the techniques I have listed to implement a comprehensive security plan for air cargo.

Since one half of the hull of each passenger aircraft is typically filled with cargo and 22 percent of all cargo transported by plane is loaded on passenger flights, I believe air cargo security is just as important as passenger security. In fact, you cannot keep passengers safe without stronger air cargo security.

Each time there is a major jet crash or bombing, we reexamine our aviation security. I hope it will not take another accident or attack for us to finally pass this legislation into law.

Irrevocable funeral trusts are funds set aside for funeral and burial expenses. These funds cannot be accessed until after the owner's death. Until recently, these trusts were not included in SSI resource calculations, but an administrative misinterpretation in 2001 dropped this important exclusion.

This misinterpretation has since been corrected, but it had serious repercussions for many senior citizens while it was in effect. When irrevocable funeral and burial trusts were included in SSI calculations, it penalized those SSI applicants who chose to save for their funeral by inflating their actual individual wealth, even though the trusts could not be accessed. The end result was that many senior citizens' SSI applications were rejected. Because the SSI definition of resources and exclusions is used for Medicaid eligibility determinations, the inclusion also affected Medicaid applicants.

This legislation will encourage people to engage in pre-need planning. It will codify the existing practice of excluding irrevocable funeral trusts from SSI calculations and ensure that future misinterpretations are avoided. We must ensure that people are not penalized for providing for their own funerals. I encourage my colleagues to give this legislation serious consideration.

The title of this bill is the Next Generation Lighting Initiative, or NGLI. The NGLI's purpose is to develop a partnership between our government, industry, and the research community, to enable the U.S. lighting to illuminate our surroundings using energy efficient semiconductors. This bill is structured along the lines of the well known government -- industry semiconductor partnership called SEMATECH which the Congress authorized in the 1988 National Defense Authorization Act.

Lighting currently accounts for roughly 19 percent of the energy use in the United States. Lighting is a $40 billion dollar global industry. The United States occupies roughly one-third of that market. Today's lighting market primarily consists of two technologies. The first technology is incandescent lighting, that's the one Thomas Edison invented over 100 years ago. Incandescent lighting relies on running a current through a wire to heat it up and illuminate your surroundings, but only 5 percent of the electricity in a conventional bulb is converted into visible light. The second type of lighting is fluorescent lights, which use a combination of chemical vapors, mainly mercury, to discharge light when current is passed through it. Fluorescent lights are six times more efficient than a light bulb.

Today, this paradign is changing, because some scientists recently made a leap ahead in lighting research. Technology leaps displace, very quickly, traditional markets. We know the stories all too well, the horse courier, the telegraph, the telephone and finally the Internet.

That's why we are proposing this legislation, because some advances have been made in the areas of solid state lighting that require a national investment that no one lighting industry can match. This emerging technology has the capability to disrupt our existing lighting markets. So quickly in fact, that other countries have formed consortia between their governments, industries, laboratories and universities. Solid state lighting is being taken very seriously around the world.

Let me describe solid state lighting. The best examples are red light emitting diodes, or "LED's", found in digital clocks. LED's produce only one color but they do not burn up a wire like a bulb and are seven times more efficient.

Until recently LED's were limited to yellow or red. That all changed in 1995. In 1995, some Japanese researchers developed a blue LED. Soon other bright colors started to emerge, such as green. That is when things started to change. Because, white light is a combination of red, blue, the recent Japanese breakthrough, and green or yellow. The recent Japanese breakthrough of that simple blue LED has now made it possible to produce white light from LED's ten times more efficient than a light bulb.

If it's successful, white light LED's will revolutionize lighting technology and will disrupt the existing industries. It's imperative that we move quickly on these advances. We need a consortia between our government, industry, research labs and academia to develop the necessary pre-competitive research to maintain our leadership role in this field.

I'd like to mention one other technology that will change lighting. That technology is found in your cell phone and on your computer screen. It's called conductive polymers. Three Nobel Prizes were just awarded for this technology. Conductive polymers offer the possibility of covering large surface areas and replacing fluorescent lamps. These materials will not only provide white light, but can display text or programmed color pictures. These technologies can be Internet controlled to adjust building lighting across the country.

Let me describe the Next Generation Lighting Initiative Act. If enacted, it will allow our country to capture these revolutionary mergers between lighting and information. It will supply the necessary pre-competitive R&D which no one industry alone can provide, and, which we as holders of the public trust of basic research owe a duty to further. It will keep the United States in a leadership role for commercial lighting and promote energy efficiency that is ten times that of incandescent lights and twice that of fluorescent lights. We need to enact this legislation now.

The Next Generation Lighting Initiative authorizes the Department of Energy to grant up to $460 million over ten years to a consortium of the United States lighting industry and research institutions. The goals of the Act are to have a 25 percent penetration of solid state lighting into the commercial markets by the 2013. The Next Generation's consortium will perform the basic and manufacturing research. The lighting industry will take this R&D and develop the necessary technologies to make it commercially viable.

This is precompetitive research. It is research that no one industry by itself can perform and which we have a duty to promote together with industry. It has implications for our country's energy policy far broader than economic competitiveness. The potential reduction in energy consumption makes it a national initiative. Once the pre- competitive research is transitioned to industry then it should be terminated, we think that will take about 10 years.

If this initiative is successful, then by 2025, it can reduce our energy consumption by roughly 17 billion watts of power or eliminate the need for 17 large electricity generating plants. That's as much as 17 million homes consume in a single day. That's more homes than in California, Oregon, and Washington combined.

Almost all of the language of this bill was worked out in detail with the House during the 107th Congress as part of the energy bill conference. We feel it is not only bipartisan but bicameral, and we hope that in this Congress it becomes law.

So let me conclude, by saying that the Next Generation Lighting Initiative will carry that U.S. lighting industry into the twenty-first century. It capitalizes on technologies that have the potential to displace our lighting industry. This Initiative will reduce our nation's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The research necessary to advance this technology requires a national investment that must be in partnership with industry.

The San Francisco Old Mint Building is an important historical landmark for San Francisco, the State of California, and the United States. Beginning its operations in 1854, the San Francisco Mint was established to take advantage of the plentiful gold and silver mined in the West during the California Gold Rush. At one point, more than half of the money minted in the United States came from the San Francisco Mint, and it once held a third of the Nation's gold supply. Today the "S" Mint Mark is found on many rare coins as well as on many new proof coin sets.

The Old Mint Building, located in the heart of the city, has been standing for more than 125 years as the oldest stone building in San Francisco. It is the Old Mint opened in 1874, it was the largest Federal building in the West. Architect Alfred B. Mullet designed this building which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A.B. Mullet is the same architect who designed both the U.S. Treasury building and the Old Executive Office Building here in Washington D.C.

A product of America's "Gilded Age," the Old Mint is architecturally reflective of a distinguished line of Greek revival- style buildings that were soon to be eclipsed by other designs at the turn of the century.

Aided by its magnificent stone structure, the Old Mint Building was able to survive the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906. In fact, the Mint was the only financial instruction that remained operable after the earthquake and the building was used as the treasury for the city's disaster relief funds.

The San Francisco Old Mint Building minted coins until 1937 when the building became too small and its operations moved to a larger space elsewhere in San Francisco. In the years since then, the building has deteriorated. In 1994, the Bureau of the Mint closed the Old Mint because it could not afford the then-estimated $20 million seismic retrofit to bring the building up to code. Since then the building, transferred to the General Services Administration, has remained closed.

Now, the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society has proposed an exciting project to restore and rejuvenate the Old Mint Building in downtown San Francisco. A fine history museum supported by shops, restaurants, community office space, a coin shop, and a visitors center will combine to make the building a striking and viable destination.

I am introducing this legislation to honor the history of the San Francisco Old Mint and the role it played in rebuilding the great "City by the Bay" after the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. This legislation will authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue 100,000 $5 gold coins and 500,000 $1 silver coins, which will be emblematic of the San Francisco Old Mint Building and its importance to California and the United States.

The San Francisco Old Mint is venerated by coin collectors as the "Granite Lady" and I believe it is worthy of a commemorative coin. I am very pleased to note that the Citizens Commemorative Coin Advisory Committee, CCCAC, has agreed and that its members have unanimously endorsed this legislation for a 2006 coin, a year that will mark the 100-year anniversary of the building's survival of the 1906 earthquake and fire.

2006 is also the year the U.S. Mint will issue the California quarter and I expect both coins will be attractive to coin collectors. The CCCAC's recommendation will be included in its 2002 annual report that will be delivered to Congress before the end of this month.

Collectors, Californians, and millions of Americans hold the San Francisco Old Mint in the highest regard as a national treasure. Because no other such icon of the numismatic community has been honored by the issuance of a commemorative coin, I believe the San Francisco Old Mint merits commemoration at this time.

Mr. President, today I am introducing legislation to repeal the death tax permanently, effective January 1, 2005. While I strongly believe that Congress must make all of the tax cuts enacted in 2001 permanent, and I have introduced S. 96, the "Contract with Investors," that would make this and other important tax law changes, I want to make a separate and special case for repealing the death tax forever.

It is an unfair, inefficient, economically unsound and, frankly, immoral tax that should not come back. In 2001, President Bush and Congress agreed to repeal the death tax. Repeal was tremendously popular. Even though most Americans may never be subject to the death tax, the vast majority know it is terribly unfair to allow Washington to seize more than half of a person's assets when he or she dies. According to a 2001 McLaughlin and Associates poll, 79 percent of respondents approve of the idea of abolishing the death tax.

It is unfair, first of all, to the decedent and to his or her heirs. A person who works hard throughout his or her life, perhaps starts a business, and buys a home in a fast-growing metropolitan area where real estate values are skyrocketing. Or perhaps the person owns a farm or just works hard in a company owned by others, but that person saves and invests and eventually accumulates a small but respectable nest egg. The American dream is to be able to leave these assets to one's children so that they might enjoy a slightly better life than their parents. It is simply unfair and immoral for the government to take more than half of these assets at death.

The impact of the death tax on small, family-owned businesses highlights another inequity, that small businesses often pay taxes at the highest individual rate, currently set at 38.6 percent, while the highest corporate tax rate is 35 percent. When the owner of a small business dies, the heirs may be forced to sell off the business to pay the applicable death tax. When the head of a C corporation dies, his or her heirs may have to sell some assets to pay the death taxes, but generally there is no need for the business to be sold. While Congress has tried to make provisions to ease the impact of the death tax on family businesses, the rules are so restrictive that a business owner can never be sure if he or she qualifies. Furthermore, the family business provisions restrict the size to which the business can grow and still quality for special treatment, creating a disincentive for businesses to expand and create new jobs. A far better solution is to repeal the death tax entirely and permanently.

The death tax also causes collateral damage. Take our small entrepreneur described above. Suppose the business employs 25, maybe 30 people, all of whom rely on the business for their livelihood, health insurance, and retirement savings. The entrepreneur's heirs may not have enough cash to pay the applicable death tax and, therefore, may be forced to liquidate the business. All its employees must now find other jobs. Or suppose the heirs cannot find a ready purchaser for the business and must sell it off in pieces. All of the companies that sold items to or bought items from this business must find other suppliers or customers, leaving a hole in the economy. Although the death tax brings in only about one-and-a-half percent of the Federal Government's annual revenue, it inflicts a disproportionately large and negative impact on the economy.

Not only does the death tax cost jobs directly when heirs are forced to liquidate businesses, it actually reduces Federal revenues by weakening the incentive to save and invest. One of the biggest problems our economy is facing now is that individuals are unwilling to invest at sufficient levels, leading to lower profits, interest, dividends and capital gains, not to mention reduced productivity and lower taxable wages. Economists Gary and Aldona Robbins estimate that repeal of the death tax would increase gross domestic product to such an extent that in 10 years' time, Federal tax revenue would be higher than it would be if the tax were retained. Of course, if the tax comes back after only one year of repeal, this growth will go unrealized.

Beyond lost jobs, liquidated businesses, and confiscatory tax rates, the death tax is inefficient because people pay tremendous sums to tax- planners in hopes of avoiding as much of the tax as possible. Alicia Munnell, a former member of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors, estimates that the costs of complying with death tax laws are roughly equal to the revenue raised, or about $23 billion in 1998.

In addition to being unfair and a drag on the economy, the current plan for repealing the death tax and then reinstating it the next year is incomprehensible to most Americans. Under current law, the exemption is $1 million in 2003, gradually raising to $3.5 million in 2009. At the same time, the tax rate drops from its original high of 55 percent down to 45 percent by 2007 and stays there until the death tax is repealed in 2010. In that year, heirs will only be taxed on any inherited property when they sell or otherwise dispose of the property, applying carryover basis, and then at capital gains rates and with an exemption of $1.3 million, and an additional $3 million for a surviving spouse. But, the entire death tax returns the following year at the 2001 rate of 55 percent, with the 2001 exemption of $675,000. The American people know that this makes absolutely no sense. We must fix this problem now and fix it permanently.

My legislation, the Permanent Death Tax Repeal Act of 2003, abolishes the death tax permanently, effective January 1, 2005. I suggest 2005 to give people time to plan for the altered date of repeal. I believe that fairness and sound economic policy require that we enact my legislation as soon as possible, so that people will know that when the death tax disappears, it will disappear for good. As Edward J. McCaffrey, a law professor from the University of Southern California and self-described liberal, said in testimony before the Senate Finance Committee a few years back: "Polls and practices show that we like sin taxes, such as on alcohol and cigarettes. . . . The estate tax is an anti-sin, or a virtue, tax. It is a tax on work and savings without consumption, on thrift, on long term savings." We must end this tax on virtue, work, savings, job creation and the American dream, and we must end it permanently.

Mr. President, I rise today to introduce the Clean Water Infrastructure Financing Act of 2003, legislation which will reauthorize the highly successful, but undercapitalized, Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund, SRF, Program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA. As many of my colleagues know, the Clean Water SRF Program is an effective and immensely popular source of funding for wastewater collection and treatment projects. Congress created the SRF in 1987 to replace the direct grants program that was enacted as part of the landmark 1972 Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or, as it is also known, the Clean Water Act. State and local governments have used the Federal Clean Water SRF to help meet critical environmental infrastructure financing needs. The program operates much like a community bank, where each State determines which projects are built.

The performance of the Clean Water SRF Program has been spectacular. Total Federal capitalization grants have been nearly doubled by non- Federal funding sources, including State contributions, leveraged bonds, and principal and interest payments. Communities of all sizes are participating in the program, and approximately 11,000 low-interest loans totaling more than $34.3 billion have been approved to date. As in many States, Ohio has needs for public wastewater system improvements which greatly exceed typical Clean Water SRF funding levels. For instance, in fiscal year 2002, a level of $1.35 billion was appropriated for the Clean Water [SRF program nationwide. However, according to the EPA's 1996 Clean Water] Needs Survey, Ohio's 20-year capital investment needs for publicly owned wastewater treatment facilities are $7.4 billion. Of that amount, over $4 billion of improvements have been identified as necessary to address combined serve overflow, CSO, problems in over 100 communities in Ohio. The city of Akron, for example, has proposed to spend $377 million over 30 years to fix the city's CSO problems.

Due to the CSO problem, many Ohio communities face millions of dollars worth of wastewater infrastructure improvements and the likelihood of increased sewer rates without receiving outside funding. In recent years, Ohio cities and villages also have been spending more on maintaining and operating their systems in order to postpone the inevitable upgrades. Nevertheless, their systems are aging and will soon need to be replaced.

While the Clean Water SRF Program's track record is excellent, the condition of our Nation's overall environmental infrastructure remains alarming. A 20-year needs survey conducted by the EPA in 1996 documented $139 billion worth of wastewater capital needs nationwide. In 1999, the national assessment was revised upward to nearly $200 billion, in order to more accurately account for expected sanitary sewer needs. Private studies demonstrate that total needs exceed $300 billion, when anticipated replacement costs are considered. EPA's most recent Clean Water Gap Analysis projected a $6 billion per year capital payments gap for clean water over the next two decades.

Authorization for the Clean Water SRF expired at the end of fiscal year 1994, and the failure of Congress to reauthorize the program sends an implicit message that wastewater collection and treatment is not a national priority. The longer we wait to re-authorize this program, the longer it creates uncertainty about the program's future in the eyes of borrowers, which could delay or in some cases prevent project financing. In order to allow any kind of substantial increase in spending, reauthorization of the Clean Water SRF program is necessary.

The bill that I am introducing today will authorize a total of $15 billion over the next five years for the Clean Water SRF. Not only would this authorization help bridge the enormous infrastructure funding gap, the investment also would pay for itself in perpetuity by protecting our environment, enhancing public health, creating jobs and increasing numerous tax bases across the country. Additionally, the bill will provide technical and planning assistance for small systems, expand the types of projects eligible for loan assistance, and offer financially-distressed communities extended loan repayment periods and principal subsidies. The bill also will allow states to give priority consideration to financially-distressed communities when making loans.

The health and well-being of the American public depends on the condition of our nation's wastewater collection and treatment systems. Unfortunately, the facilities that comprise these systems are often taken for granted absent a crisis. Let me emphasize to my colleagues that the costs of poor environmental infrastructure cannot be ignored. Last year marked the 30th Anniversary of the Clean Water Act. We have come a long way since the Clean Water Act's implementation in 1972. Yet, we still have a long way to go. After 30 years since the passage of the Clean Water Act approximately 45 percent of U.S. waters are still not clean enough for fishing or swimming. The 30th Anniversary of the Clean Water Act is cause for celebration of our accomplishments. It is also an opportunity to recommit ourselves to achieving the goals of the Clean Water Act. The Federal Government must maintain a strong partnership with States and local communities and share in the financial burden of sustaining hard-won water quality gains and making additional improvements to the quality of the Nation's waters.

In just over a decade, the Clean Water SRF Program has helped thousands of communities meet their wastewater treatment needs. My bill will help ensure that the Clean Water SRF Program remains a viable component in the overall development of our Nation's infrastructure for years to come. I urge my colleagues to join me in cosponsoring this legislation, and I urge its speedy consideration by the Senate.

Mr. President, today I am reintroducing a bill that addresses a critical gap that now exists in the funding for the clean- up of the Nation's most toxic waste sites. The Toxic Clean-up Polluter Pays Renewal Act restores fees on oil, chemical and other industries to ensure that the Superfund Trust Fund, is solvent and that polluters, not American taxpayers, bear the burden of cleaning up sites that pose a threat to the health and safety of our communities.

Anyone who lives anywhere near a Superfund site knows about the terrible damage these industrial sites do to the community. Parents worry if their kids are safe when they find out there is a toxic mess down the street; real estate values go down the drain; and major challenges must be overcome to get the responsible parties to own up to their responsibility.

Fortunately, after Love Canal in 1980, Congress enacted the Superfund law to address the serious threat posed by these sites. And this law worked. Great progress was being made. Since the creation of this program, over 800 sites have been cleaned up. During the last four years of the Clinton administration, an average of 87 final cleanups occurred each year.

Unfortunately, this program has seen a sharp decline since the start of the Bush administration. The pace of cleanups has slowed to a crawl. Instead of 87 National Priority List sites a year, less than half of that are now being cleaned up. In 2002, only 42 sites were cleaned up.

At the same time, the heart of the Superfund law is under attack: the principle that polluters must pay for cleanups. And that is the issue that my bill will address.

The Superfund Trust Fund, which includes funds from Superfund fees previously paid by oil, chemical, and other industries, is nearly gone. It will be depleted by 2004. These fees are not large in scope. For example, for every barrel of oil it would only cost 9.7 cents. Manufacturers would only pay $4.45 for every ton of arsenic or mercury they produce. In addition, corporations that have over $2 million in taxable income under the alternative minimum tax would be required to pay only 0.12 percent on taxable income above $2 million dollars. That means that a company that has a taxable income of $2,010,000 would pay only $12.

Unfortunately, the polluter's fee expired in 1995. President Clinton repeatedly tried to get it reinstated. President Bush has refused to do so in his past budgets, and indications are that he will not do so in the future. This means that a greater and greater share of the cost of Superfund cleanups will be borne by taxpayers rather than polluters.

In fact, the general taxpayers contributed just 18 percent to the Superfund in 1995. The figure is rising and American taxpayers will pay 54 percent of the Superfund budget by 2003.

Mr. President, today I join Senators Boxer, Chafee, and others to introduce The Toxic Clean Up and Polluter Pays Renewal Act for. For more than 20 years, the polluter pays principle has been a cornerstone of environmental policy. The Superfund toxic waste cleanup program, based on that principle, has made it possible to clean up hundreds of toxic waste dumps across the country, and has led to better management of industrial pollution and waste.

The Superfund program established three ways to pay for the cost of cleanups: 1) the company or individual responsible for creating the site pays for its cleanup; 2) the Environmental Protection Agency performs the cleanups and recoups the costs from the responsible party or parties; and 3) for those "orphan" sites where no responsible party can be found, or the party is insolvent or no longer in business, the cleanup is paid for out of the trust fund.

The Superfund trust fund was created primarily with revenue from a corporate environmental income tax and excise taxes on petroleum and certain chemicals. The trust fund received about $1.5 billion per year before the legislative authority to collect the taxes expired at the end of 1995. The trust fund is expected to run out of money in 2004, having dwindled from a high of $3.8 billion in 1996 to $28 million this year.

There are 1,234 sites on the EPA national priority list of toxic waste sites that need to be cleaned up. One in four Americans live within 4 miles of a Superfund site. These sites contain hazardous pollutants like arsenic, cyanide, and agent orange. Last year, EPA Administrator Christine Whitman told Congress that 75 sites on the national priority list would be cleaned up in 2001 and 65 sites would be cleaned up in 2002. The Bush administration then revised its plan, requiring that only 47 site cleanups be completed in 2001 and 42 in 2002. For 2003, the Bush administration has proposed to further decrease cleanups. On October 25, 2002, the EPA Inspector General found that the Bush administration has cut funding at 55 Superfund sites in 25 states for which regional officials had requested cleanup. For Fiscal Year 2002, EPA regional officials requested $510 million to clean up waste sites. In response, EPA headquarters obligated only $280 million, resulting in a shortfall of $229 million, or 45 percent.

The program is insufficiently funded to allow sites that are already scheduled to be cleaned up to move forward. This results in increased risks to human health and the environment and increased cleanup costs in the long term. Reinstating the Superfund fee would restore a source of funding to the program at a time when the backlog of sites requires more resources if the program is to be successful. The Bush administration is the first administration since Superfund was enacted in 1980 to oppose reinstating this tax on polluters -- a policy that either halts cleanup efforts or shifts the cost to rank-and-file taxpayers. Either result is unacceptable.

The administration's plan to cut the Superfund program would seriously compromise the health of our communities and amount to an enormous windfall for the oil and chemical industries. Funding is the key to cleaning up these sites and protecting communities from harm. The "polluter pays" principle has worked well over the last two decades, and the financial burden should not be shifted from polluters to average taxpayers. The administration should change course and find ways to restore the "polluter pays" principle to the program and aggressively fund cleanups at contaminated sites.

Mr. President, as another semester begins, many college students are worrying not only about their course loads and class work, but about how they will pay for school. Today, the average cost of room, board and tuition at a public four-year college has jumped to over $9,000. Tuition and fees alone jumped 9.6 percent from last year. The average cost of room, board and tuition at a private four-year college has jumped to just over $25,000 with tuition and fees having risen 5.8 percent.

What do the rising costs of attending a college or university mean for American families? It means that despite their best efforts to save and plan ahead, hard working families have to spend a larger percentage of their income than ever before to send their children to school. To attend my alma mater, the University of Delaware, it costs nearly 20 percent of a Delaware family's average annual income to cover costs. In fact just a few months ago, tuition was increased from the Fall to Spring semester by $120 to make up for an expected $3.1 cut in state aid to the university. If a Delaware family wants to send their child to a private university, approximately 50 percent of their income is required.

To help counteract these spiraling costs, I come to the floor today to reintroduce "The Tuition Assistance for Families Act," a comprehensive package of tax credits and deductions, grants and scholarships that will assist American families in sending their children to college. Building upon the previous efforts of mine and others, this legislation will provide more families with much needed assistance so that the decision to send one's child to school will not be overshadowed by the decision of how to pay for it.

Specifically, the "Tuition Assistance for Families Act" will raise the current tuition tax deduction for higher education expenses from $3,000 to $12,000. Based on legislation that I previously sponsored with Senator Schumer, this $9,000 increase will go a long way in helping middle class American families afford tuition.

The "Tuition Assistance for Families Act" expands tuition tax credits already in law, the Hope Scholarship and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. Currently, the Lifetime Learning Credit allows a 20 percent tax credit on the first $10,000 of one's higher education expenses. Under my bill, this percentage jumps to 25 percent while the amount of expenses subjected to the credit rises to $12,000. This means that a student who files a return in tax year 2003 under my plan could get up to $3,000 back in taxes. This is $1,000 more than the $2,000 maximum allowable credit available under current law. That means that under my plan, up to an additional $1,000 can go directly back into a student's pocket to pay for books, a computer or tuition. To maximize the utility of the tax credits, my bill also raises the income limits for both the Hope Scholarship and the Lifetime Learning Credit to up to $130,000 per family, per year. This will allow more families to access the help that they need.

My bill reintroduces the idea of a $1,000 merit scholarship to be awarded to each high school senior graduating in the top 5 percent of his or her class. These types of scholarships not only reward student achievement, they help to ensure that the best and brightest students have the ability to go on to college thereby increasing the pool of well-qualified Americans in the workforce.

Finally, the "Tuition Assistance for Families Act" will increase the maximum Pell Grant award from $4,000 to $4,500. During the 2001- 2002 school year, the maximum Pell Grant award covered approximately 42 percent of the average tuition, room and board at a public four-year university. During the 1975-76 it covered 84 percent of these same costs. Clearly, the purchasing power of these grants has declined dramatically over the years. As such, the debt load of American students and American families has increased as students have looked to federal and private loans to finance their education. Shockingly but not surprisingly, 64 percent of today's college students graduate with student loan debt at an average of $16,928, double the debt load of 1994.

It is the dream of every American parent to provide for their child a better life than they had themselves. Part of doing this involves sending your kids to college. This is why I have spent a great deal of my time in the Senate fighting to provide tax relief for middle class American families struggling with college costs. And while I was pleased when some of the ideas I advocated were adopted in the 1997 tax cut bill, it is clear that as tuition costs rise dramatically, Americans need additional assistance. The "Tuition Assistance for Families Act" will provide extra help so that more families can afford to give their children a brighter and better future. The "Tuition Assistance for Families Act" goes one step further in committing the federal government to making college more affordable for Americans.

Mr. President, today I am proposing bipartisan legislation to provide the basis for reform of the administration and management of the assets and funds held by the United States in trust for federally recognized Indian tribes and individual Indians. I am pleased that my two colleagues from South Dakota, Senators Daschle and Johnson, are once again joining me in this effort.

Last year, we introduced a similar bill to serve as a legislative vehicle in the event a consensus agreement could be reached during an extensive dialogue between a designated tribal task force and the U.S. Department of Interior on administrative and legislative reforms to federal management of trust funds and assets. Unfortunately, the dialogue resulted in a stalemate. While we received many favorable comments to move forward with this legislation, and conducted a full committee hearing to consider it, a sufficient consensus did not exist to approve the legislation prior to the adjournment of the 107th session.

We are reintroducing this legislation again because we believe it is important to continue to offer a legislative remedy to the management problems plaguing the Interior Department and instill a meaningful role for Indian tribes in the process. Indian trust funds management continues to be mired in controversy and systemic mismanagement. Native American beneficiaries continue to be denied a full reconciliation of money rightfully belonging to them.

The history of Indian trust funds management is long, exhaustive and fraught with controversy. It is a problem inherited by successive Administrations yet only limited progress has been made. The major structural changes called for in the 1994 American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act have not been accomplished. Two Special Trustees have resigned in frustration and high-level government officials have twice been held in civil contempt by the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. for breach of fiduciary duties.

No one is more frustrated about the lack of resolution to these long- standing problems than the Native American beneficiaries. However, recent reorganization plans submitted to the Court by the Interior Department earlier this month have only raised more controversy and concern among Indian tribes and beneficiaries as to the extent the Department will fully account for lost and mismanaged trust accounts. Significant questions have also been raised as to the impact of these proposed plans on long-standing Federal policies of self-determination and the function of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

I cannot speak as to the merits of the Department's recent plans. The fact is, many in the Congress were not notified of the Department's intended actions nor has there been an opportunity to evaluate these plans through the respective legislative committees of jurisdiction. I have sought a commitment from the incoming Chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell, to hold hearings as soon as possible on recent Department proposals that will restructure trust funds management as well as to consider legislative proposals such as the one we're proposing today.

The purpose of this legislation we are introducing is simple. It focuses on two primary changes to the 1994 American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act, the underlying law governing Indian trust funds management. First, it creates a single line-of-authority in the Interior Department by establishing a Deputy Secretary for Trust Management and Reform; and second, the bill strengthens provisions for Indian tribes and beneficiaries to directly manage or co-manage with the Interior secretary trust funds and assets, based on successful self-determination policies.

A fundamental objective of this legislation is to raise the profile of Indian trust funds management within the Interior Department and provide a statutory basis for Indian tribes to assume a greater management role in future management of their trust funds and trust assets. The structure of this legislation is similar to the bill introduced last year, but it is modified to reflect comments received from Indian tribes.

The legislation affirms the fiduciary standards to be applied to the management of Indian trust funds and assets. The Office of Special Trustee is abolished and replaced with the Office of Trust Reform under the direction of a new Deputy Secretary. The existing Advisory Committee to the Special Trustee is replaced with a Task Force composed of representatives of the tribes and the Department who will work with the new Deputy Secretary to develop appropriate standards and further necessary changes.

Senator Daschle, Senator Johnson and I introduce this legislation as a demonstration of our continuing commitment to seek a real and meaningful trust reform solution that provides an active role for tribal participation and consultation. We hope this legislation will prompt the necessary dialogue to ensure reform to Indian trust funds and trust assets management in a way that increases accountability of the Interior Department and respects the fact that the tribes must be involved as active participants without the threat of termination of the trust responsibility.

For over a hundred years, the Department of Interior has managed a trust fund funded with the proceeds of leasing of oil, gas, land and mineral rights for the benefit of Indian people. Today, the trust fund may owe as much as $10 billion to as many as 500,000 Indians.

To provide some perspective, the 16 tribes of the Great Plains in South Dakota, North Dakota and Nebraska comprise 10 million acres of trust lands representing over one-third of the tribal trust assets. Many enrolled members of the nine South Dakota tribes have individual trust accounts.

In November 2001, the Secretary of the Interior unveiled her controversial plan to reorganize the Bureau of Indian Affairs, BIA, and segregate the oversight and accounting of trust-related assets in a new Bureau of Indian Trust Asset Management, BITAM. In testimony before the U.S. District Court, the Secretary acknowledged that, "We undoubtedly do have some missing data, and we are all going to have to find a way to deal with the fact that some information no longer exists." The Secretary's controversial reorganization proposal, a hasty effort to avoid being held in contempt of court, was presented with minimal consultation with the tribes or individual Indian account holders, not to mention Congress.

In South Dakota, tribal leaders communicated to Tim Johnson and me their concern that the Secretary's solution appeared to be a fait accompli, conceived without meaningful participation of the stakeholders most directly affected by it. They felt strongly that this proposal should not be implemented without further consultation with the tribes. Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Interior and the Assistant Secretary on Indian Affairs, despite their reorganization plan, were both subsequently found in contempt of court.

In the early months of 2002, in the face of Administration assurances that its reorganization plan was not set in stone, the Interior Department requested that $200 million from the BIA and $100 million from the Office of the Special Trustee, be reprogrammed to "a single organization that will report to the Secretary through an Assistant Secretary, Indian Trust." This contradiction set off red flags in Congress, and a clear and direct message was sent to Secretary Norton by Senators Inouye, Campbell, Byrd, Johnson and others that no action should be taken to implement her proposed reorganization plan administratively. Notwithstanding this clear signal, just this last December, while most members of Congress were out of town and with very little fanfare, the Secretary submitted yet another smaller request to reprogram BIA funds for trust fund reform activities.

Given these developments, Senators McCain, Johnson and I feel that Congress should be more assertive in forcing discussion of what role Congress might play in ensuring that tribes and individual Indian account holders have a voice on shaping trust reform policy. It is our hope that this bill will promote more constructive dialogue among the Congress, the Interior Department and Indian Country on this problem and lead to a true consensus solution.

Mike Jandreau, Chairman of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and member of the Secretary's Trust Reform Task Force, has been an effective advocate and champion of trust reform, not only for his tribe, but also for all Indian people. He and Flandreau-Santee Sioux Tribal Chairman and Great Plains Tribal Chairman's Association President Tom Ranfranz led a very impressive and productive working sessions with tribal leaders from South Dakota, North Dakota and Nebraska. Mike and Tom have also worked with tribal leaders from Montana and Wyoming to raise awareness of the stakes of this issue and build support for the bill that regrettably died at the end of the 107th Congress due to Administration opposition.

I commend the willingness of these participating Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regional tribal leaders to be part of a public process that will hopefully will not stop until Indian Country feels comfortable with a final product they create. The McCain-Johnson- Daschle bill is intended to contribute to this result.

At this point, I would like to remind my colleagues some initial observations on this proposal that were raised in the last Congress by participating South Dakota treaty tribes and tribes of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regions that are still relevant in the 108th Congress. These comments demonstrate how thoughtfully Indian leaders are approaching the trust problem, and I fully expect that their suggestions will be considered and incorporated as the bill moves through the committee process.

1. Providing the Deputy Secretary with sufficient authority to ensure that reform of the administration of trust assets is permanent. They do not believe the bill at present gives the Deputy Secretary the full and unified authority needed; 2. Including cultural resources as a trust asset for management purposes; 3. Incorporating the Office of Surface Mining and Bureau of Reclamation and other related agencies within the Department of the Interior and the Federal government under the purview of the Deputy Secretary; 4. Assuring that the legislation not infringe on tribal sovereignty by interfering with tribal involvement in the management of individual trust assets or tribal assets, or both; 5. Maintaining the Bureau of Indian Affairs' role as an advocate for tribe; 6. Maintaining current levels of Bureau of Indian Affairs employment; 7. Applying Indian employment preference to all positions created by the legislation; 8. Providing in law that Bureau of Indian Affairs funds not be used to fund the Deputy Secretary appointed by the legislation; 9. Stressing the importance of appropriating adequate funding to allow reform to succeed; 10. Reflecting in the legislative history that much of the funding needed for real trust reform be allocated at the local agency and regional levels of the Bureau of Indian Affairs; and 11. Placing more tribal representatives, including tribal resource managers, from various Bureau of Indian Affairs regions on the advisory board to the Office of Trust Reform.

The issues of trust reform and reorganization within the Bureau of Indian Affairs are nothing new to us here on Capitol Hill, or in Indian Country. Collectively, we have endured many efforts, some will intentioned and some clearly not, to fix, reform, adjust, improve, streamline, downsize, and even terminate the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its trust activities.

These efforts have been pursued under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Unfortunately, they have rarely included meaningful involvement from tribal leadership, or recognized the Federal Government's treaty obligation to tribes.

I would be remiss if I did not commend this Administration for taking the time to travel to Indian Country to discuss this problem. Their interest in promoting dialogue with tribal leaders was welcome and appreciated. At the same time, however, talk must be supported by action if the trust management problem is to be successfully resolved.

The recent unveiling last month of the Department of the Interior's attempt to implement a trust reorganization plan without full tribal or congressional consultation in response to the Cobell v. Norton case was appalling and an egregious act by the federal government to Indian stakeholders. One tribal task force member described Interior's latest deceptive actions as "a sham." That sentiment is widespread in Indian Country and exacerbates an underlying frustration and disappointment that is both understandable and disconcerting.

The message I have heard from tribal leaders is clear. What is needed to achieve true reform are clear trust standards, one clear line of authority for trust management and the resources necessary to achieve meaningful reform, respect for self-determination, and meaningful consultation.

Meaningful consultation and acceptance of tribal status is the critical starting point if we hope to find a workable solution to the very real problem of trust management. The bill Senators McCain, Johnson and I are introducing today reflects this conviction.

There is no more important challenge facing the tribes and their representatives in Congress than that of restoring accountability and efficiency to trust management. And nowhere do the principles of self- determination and tribal sovereignty come more into play than in the management and distribution of trust funds and assets.

I am disappointed that this problem was not solved to the satisfaction of tribal leaders in the last Congress. Yet, that fight is not over, and my commitment to my South Dakota tribal constituents and Indian Country on this important issue has not diminished.

Last week, the Senate Democratic leadership introduced its priority bills for the 108th Congress. I am proud that trust reform is included as part of our civil rights legislation.

An effective long-term solution to the trust problem must be based on government-to-government dialogue. The McCain/Johnson/Daschle bill will not only provide the catalyst for meaningful tribal involvement in the search for solutions, it can also form the basis for true trust reform. I look forward to participating with tribal leaders, Administration officials and my congressional colleagues in pursuit of this essential objective.
