SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Non-Homeland Security Mission 
Performance Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Federal agencies included in the Department of Homeland 
        Security perform important non-homeland security functions on 
        which all United States citizens rely, such as the protection 
        of fisheries and agriculture, communication and transportation 
        infrastructures, and medical supplies.
            (2) Federal agencies included in the Department shall 
        ensure the continuation of non-homeland security functions as 
        new homeland security responsibilities are adopted.
            (3) A strategy to address non-homeland security functions 
        is needed to meet the daily needs of Americans and to preserve 
        the security of the Nation.
            (4) Non-homeland security functions are complementary to 
        homeland security functions and often share personnel, 
        resources, and assets. It is appropriate for each Under 
        Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that 
        non-homeland security functions are performed.
            (5) Agencies in the Department of Homeland Security perform 
        essential non-homeland security functions Americans rely on 
        everyday, including the following:
                    (A) The United States Coast Guard has vital non-
                homeland security functions, including search and 
                rescue, fisheries enforcement, marine environmental 
                protection, law enforcement, marine safety, and aids to 
                navigation.
                    (B) The Department of Homeland Security Bureau of 
                Citizenship and Immigration Services provides important 
                immigration and citizenship services and benefits 
                including processing and approving requests for 
                citizenship, adjudicating asylum for refugees, and 
                immigration benefits, such as refugee and intercountry 
                adoptions.
                    (C) The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 
                assists local communities to prepare for and respond to 
                floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, tornadoes, and 
                other natural disasters. The Federal Emergency 
                Management Agency supplements State and local responses 
                to natural disasters and the mitigation of damage, and 
                prevention of disasters, such as earthquakes.
                    (D) The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
                and the Animal Research Service develop strategies to 
                prevent and control foreign or emerging animal and 
                plant disease epidemics vital to farmers, the economy, 
                and the protection of the environment.
                    (E) The Secret Service is charged with safeguarding 
                payment and financial systems by protecting against 
                counterfeiting, identity theft, credit card fraud, cell 
                phone fraud, computer and telecommunications fraud, 
                money laundering, and other financial crimes.
                    (F) The United States Customs Service protects our 
                free trade essential for a healthy economy by working 
                to lower the cost of trade compliance, providing 
                guidance on the conduct of legal trade, and monitoring 
                imports to ensure compliance with public health and 
                safety laws. Customs protects intellectual property and 
                combats money laundering, child pornography, and drug 
                trafficking.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
            (1) ensure the continuation of non-homeland security 
        functions of Federal agencies; and
            (2) ensure that Federal agencies develop sound management 
        strategies and allocate sufficient funding to carry out non-
        homeland security functions.
