    Sec. 630. (a) Tracing studies conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, 
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives are released without adequate 
disclaimers regarding the limitations of the data.
    (b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives shall 
include in all such data releases, language similar to the following 
that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to draw broad 
conclusions about firearms-related crime:
        (1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement 
    authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale and 
    possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies may 
    request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons are not 
    necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all firearms 
    used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in 
    crime.
        (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for purposes 
    of determining which types, makes or models of firearms are used 
    for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute a 
    random sample and should not be considered representative of the 
    larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset of 
    that universe. Firearms are normally traced to the first retail 
    seller, and sources reported for firearms traced do not necessarily 
    represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general are 
    acquired for use in crime.
    Sec. 631. Section 503(f) of the Small Business Investment Act of 
1958 (15 U.S.C. 697(f)) shall be amended by substituting ``March 15, 
2004'' for the last date that appears in the subsection.
    Sec. 632. In addition to amounts otherwise appropriated in this 
Act, the unobligated balances previously made available by section 
507(g) of Public Law 105-135 shall be available until expended for the 
cost of general business loans under section 7(a) of the Small Business 
Act.
    Sec. 633. (a) There is established in the Treasury of the United 
States a trust fund to be known as the International Center for Middle 
Eastern-Western Dialogue Trust Fund. The income from the fund shall be 
used for operations of the International Center for Middle Eastern-
Western Dialogue to promote dialogue and scholarship in the Middle 
East. The fund may accept contributions and gifts from public and 
private sources.
    (b) It shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to invest 
in full amounts made available to the fund. Such investments may be 
made only in interest-bearing obligations of the United States or in 
obligations guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the United 
States. The interest on, and the proceeds from the sale or redemption 
of, any obligations held in the fund shall be credited to and form a 
part of the fund and shall remain available without fiscal year 
limitation.
    (c) For each fiscal year, there is authorized to be appropriated 
from the fund for the operations of the International Center for Middle 
Eastern-Western Dialogue the total amount of the interest and earnings 
credited to the fund under subsection (b).
    (d) There are authorized to be appropriated to the International 
Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue Trust Fund, without fiscal 
year limitation, such sums as may be necessary to carry out the 
provisions of this section and to provide for the permanent endowment 
for the International Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue 
established under this section.
    (e) The United States, through the Department of State, shall 
retain ownership of the Palazzo Corpi building in Istanbul, Turkey, and 
the Secretary of State shall be responsible for maintaining the 
International Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue at such 
location.
    (f) Section 1321(a) of title 31, United States Code, is amended by 
inserting after ``(58) Inmates' fund, workhouse and reformatory, 
District of Columbia.'' the following new paragraph:
        ``(59) International Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue 
    Trust Fund.''.
    Sec. 634. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
available under this Act may be used to issue patents on claims 
directed to or encompassing a human organism.
    Sec. 635. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used 
to pay expenses for any United States delegation to the United Nations 
Human Rights Commission if such commission is chaired or presided over 
by a country, the government of which the Secretary of State has 
determined, for purposes of section 6(j)(1) of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j)(1)), has repeatedly 
provided support for acts of international terrorism.
    Sec. 636. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used 
in violation of section 212(a)(10)(C) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act.
    Sec. 637. (a) This section may be cited as the ``HELP Commission 
Act''.
    (b)(1) The Congress finds that, despite the long-standing efforts 
and resources of the United States dedicated to helping needy people 
around the world, despair remains and in many areas is growing.
    (2) Therefore, a commission should be established to bring together 
the best minds associated with development and humanitarian assistance 
to make a comprehensive review of--
        (A) policy decisions, including why certain development 
    projects are funded and others are not, successes, and best 
    practices, including their applicability to other existing programs 
    and projects;
        (B) delivery obstacles, including the roles of United States 
    agencies and other governmental and nongovernmental organizations;
        (C) methodology, including whether the delivery of United 
    States development assistance always represents best practices and 
    whether it can be improved; and
        (D) results, including measuring improvements in human capacity 
    instead of in purely economic terms.
    (3) An examination of these issues should present new approaches 
and ideas to ensure that United States development assistance reaches 
and benefits its intended recipients.
    (c)(1) There is established the Helping to Enhance the Livelihood 
of People (HELP) Around the Globe Commission (in this section referred 
to as the ``Commission'').
    (2) The Commission shall--
        (A) identify the past and present objectives of United States 
    development assistance, identify cases in which those objectives 
    have been met, identify the beneficiaries of such assistance, and 
    what percentage of the funds provided actually reached the intended 
    beneficiaries;
        (B) identify cases in which United States development 
    assistance has been most successful, and analyze how such successes 
    may be transferable to other countries or areas;
        (C) study ways to expand educational opportunities and 
    investments in people, and assess infrastructure needs;
        (D) analyze how the United States could place conditions on 
    governments in countries receiving United States development 
    assistance, in light of and notwithstanding the objectives of the 
    Millennium Challenge Account;
        (E) analyze ways in which the United States can coordinate its 
    development assistance programs with those of other donor countries 
    and international organizations;
        (F) analyze ways in which the safety of development assistance 
    workers can be ensured, particularly in the midst of conflicts;
        (G) compare the effectiveness of increased and open trade with 
    development assistance, and analyze the advantages and 
    disadvantages of such trade and whether such trade could be a more 
    effective alternative to United States development assistance;
        (H) analyze ways in which the United States can strengthen the 
    capacity of indigenous nongovernmental organizations to be more 
    effective in grassroots development;
        (I) analyze ways in which decisions on providing development 
    assistance can involve more of the people of the recipient 
    countries;
        (J) analyze ways in which results can be measured if United 
    States development assistance is targeted to the least developed 
    countries;
        (K) recommend standards that should be set for ``graduating'' 
    recipient countries from United States development assistance;
        (L) analyze whether United States development assistance should 
    be used as a means to achieve United States foreign policy 
    objectives;
        (M) analyze how the United States can evaluate the performance 
    of its development assistance programs not only against economic 
    indicators, but in other ways, including how to measure the success 
    of United States development assistance in democratization efforts; 
    and evaluate the existing foreign assistance framework to ascertain 
    the degree of coordination, or lack thereof, of the disparate 
    foreign development programs as administered by the various Federal 
    agencies, to identify and assess the redundancies of programs and 
    organizational structures engaged in foreign assistance, and to 
    recommend revisions to authorizing legislation for foreign 
    assistance that would seek to reconcile competing foreign policy 
    and foreign aid goals; and
        (N) study any other areas that the Commission considers 
    necessary relating to United States development assistance.
    (d)(1) The Commission shall be composed of 21 members as follows:

    Sec. 801. Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization. 
Section 313 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management

at the end thereof the following:
    ``(j) Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization.--
        ``(1) By not later than January 1, 2005, the Secretary shall

    approved by the Council.
        ``(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, in 
    carrying out paragraph (1) the Secretary shall approve all parts of 
    the Program referred to in such paragraph. Further, no part of such 
    Program may be implemented if, as approved by the North Pacific

    cooperatives, binding arbitration, regional landing and processing 
    requirements, community protections, economic data collection, or 
    the loan program for crab fishing vessel captains and crew members,

           TITLE III--DC SCHOOL CHOICE INCENTIVE ACT OF 2003

SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``DC School Choice Incentive Act of 
2003''.

SEC. 302. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
        (1) Parents are best equipped to make decisions for their 
    children, including the educational setting that will best serve 
    the interests and educational needs of their child.
        (2) For many parents in the District of Columbia, public school 
    choice provided for under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 as 
    well as under other public school choice programs, is inadequate 
    due to capacity constraints. Available educational alternatives to 
    the public schools are insufficient and more educational options 
    are needed. In particular, funds are needed to assist low-income 
    parents to exercise choice among enhanced public opportunities and 
    private educational environments, whether religious or 
    nonreligious. Therefore, in keeping with the spirit of the No Child 
    Left Behind Act of 2001, school choice options, in addition to 
    those already available to parents in the District of Columbia 
    (such as magnet and charter schools and open enrollment schools) 
    should be made available to those parents.
        (3) In the most recent mathematics assessment on the National 
    Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), administered in 2000, a 
    lower percentage of 4th-grade students in the District of Columbia 
    demonstrated proficiency than was the case for any State. Seventy-
    six percent of the District of Columbia fourth-graders scored at 
    the ``below basic'' level and of the 8th-grade students in the 
    District of Columbia, only 6 percent of the students tested at the 
    proficient or advanced levels, and 77 percent were below basic. In 
    the most recent NAEP reading assessment, in 1998, only 10 percent 
    of the District of Columbia fourth-graders could read proficiently, 
    while 72 percent were below basic. At the 8th-grade level, 12 
    percent were proficient or advanced and 56 percent were below 
    basic.
        (4) A program enacted for the valid secular purpose of 
    providing educational assistance to low-income children in a 
    demonstrably failing public school system is constitutional under 
    Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, 536 U.S. 639 (2002), if it is neutral 
    with respect to religion and provides assistance to a broad class 
    of citizens who direct government aid to religious and secular 
    schools solely as a result of their genuine and independent private 
    choices.
        (5) The Mayor of the District of Columbia, the Chairman of the 
    Education Committee of the City Council of the District of 
    Columbia, and the President of the District of Columbia Board of 
    Education support this title.
        (6) This title provides additional money for the District of 
    Columbia public schools and therefore money for scholarships is not 
    being taken out of money that would otherwise go to the District of 
    Columbia public schools.
        (7) This title creates a 5-year program tailored to the current 
    needs and particular circumstances of low-income children in 
    District of Columbia schools. This title does not establish 
    parameters or requirements for other school choice programs.

SEC. 303. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this title is to provide low-income parents residing 
in the District of Columbia, particularly parents of students who 
attend elementary schools or secondary schools identified for 
improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under section 1116 of 
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6316), 
with expanded opportunities for enrolling their children in higher-
performing schools in the District of Columbia.

        (2) Single sex schools, classes, or activities.--

    statements and other chartering or governing documents.
    (e) Rule of Construction.--A scholarship (or any other form of 
support provided to parents of eligible students) under this title

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    Sec. 301. No funds appropriated in this Act may be used for the 
transportation of students or teachers (or for the purchase of 
equipment for such transportation) in order to overcome racial 
imbalance in any school or school system, or for the transportation of 
students or teachers (or for the purchase of equipment for such 
transportation) in order to carry out a plan of racial desegregation of 
any school or school system.
    Sec. 302. None of the funds contained in this Act shall be used to 
require, directly or indirectly, the transportation of any student to a 
school other than the school which is nearest the student's home, 
except for a student requiring special education, to the school 
offering such special education, in order to comply with title VI of 
the Civil Rights Act of 1964. For the purpose of this section an 
indirect requirement of transportation of students includes the 
transportation of students to carry out a plan involving the 
reorganization of the grade structure of schools, the pairing of 
schools, or the clustering of schools, or any combination of grade 
restructuring, pairing or clustering. The prohibition described in this 
section does not include the establishment of magnet schools.
    Sec. 303. No funds appropriated under this Act may be used to 
prevent the implementation of programs of voluntary prayer and 
meditation in the public schools.

                           (transfer of funds)

    Sec. 304. Not to exceed 1 percent of any discretionary funds 
(pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
1985, as amended) which are appropriated for the Department of 
Education in this Act may be transferred between appropriations, but no 
such appropriation shall be increased by more than 3 percent by any 
such transfer: Provided, That the Appropriations Committees of both 
Houses of Congress are notified at least 15 days in advance of any 
transfer.
    Sec. 305. Special Study of Simplification of Need Analysis and 
Application for title IV Aid. (a) Study Required.--The Advisory 
Committee on Student Financial Assistance established by section 491 of 
the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1098), hereafter in this 
section referred to as ``the Advisory Committee'', shall conduct a 
thorough study of the feasibility of simplifying the need analysis 
methodology for all Federal student financial assistance programs and 
the process of applying for such assistance.
    (b) Required Subjects of Study.--In performing the study, the 
Advisory Committee shall, at a minimum, examine the following:
        (1) whether the methodology used to calculate the expected 
    family contribution can be simplified without significant adverse 
    effects on program intent, costs, integrity, delivery, and 
    distribution of awards;
        (2) whether the number of data elements, and, accordingly, the 
    number and complexity of questions asked of students and families, 
    used to calculate the expected family contribution can be reduced 
    without such adverse effects;
        (3) whether the procedures for determining such data elements, 
    including determining and updating offsets and allowances, is the 
    most efficient, effective, and fair means to determine a family's 
    available income and assets;
        (4) whether the methodology used to calculate the expected 
    family contribution, specifically the consideration of income 
    earned by a dependent student and its effect on Pell grant 
    eligibility, is an effective and fair means to determine a family's 
    available income and a student's need;
        (5) whether the nature and timing of the application required 
    in section 483 (a)(1) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 
    U.S.C. 1090(a)(1)), eligibility and award determination, financial 
    aid processing, and funds delivery can be streamlined further for 
    students and families, institutions, and States;
        (6) whether it is feasible to allow students to complete only 
    those limited sections of the financial aid application that apply 
    to their specific circumstances and the State in which they reside;
        (7) whether a widely disseminated printed form, or the use of 
    an Internet or other electronic means, can be developed to notify 
    individuals of an estimation of their approximate eligibility for 
    grant, work-study, and loan assistance upon completion and 
    verification of the simplified application form;
        (8) whether information provided on other Federal forms (such 
    as the form applying for supplemental security income under title 
    XVI of the Social Security Act, the form for applying for food 
    stamps under the Food Stamp Act of 1977, and the schedule for 
    applying for the earned income tax credit under section 32 of the 
    Internal Revenue Code of 1986) that are designed to determine 
    eligibility for various Federal need-based assistance programs 
    could be used to qualify potential students for the simplified 
    needs test; and
        (9) whether any proposed changes to data elements collected, in 
    addition to those used to calculate expected family contribution, 
    or any proposed changes to the form's design or the process of 
    applying for aid, may have adverse effects on program costs, 
    integrity, delivery, or distribution of awards, as well as, 
    application development or application processing.
    (c) Additional Considerations.--In conducting the feasibility 
study, the Advisory Committee's primary objective under this subsection 
shall be simplifying the financial aid application forms and process 
and obtaining a substantial reduction in the number of required data 
items. In carrying out that objective, the Advisory Committee shall pay 
special attention to the needs of low-income and moderate-income 
students and families.
    (d) Consultation.--
        (1) In general.--The Advisory Committee shall consult with a 
    broad range of interested parties in higher education, including 
    parents and students, high school guidance counselors, financial 
    aid and other campus administrators, appropriate State 
    administrators, administrators of intervention and outreach 
    programs, and appropriate officials from the Department of 
    Education.
        (2) Forms design expert.--With the goal of making significant 
    changes to the form to make the questions more easily 
    understandable, the Advisory Committee shall consult a forms design 
    expert to ensure that its recommendations for revision of the 
    application form would assist in making the form easily readable 
    and understood by parents, students, and other members of the 
    public.
        (3) Congressional consultation.--The Advisory Committee shall 
    consult on a regular basis with the Committee on Education and the 
    Workforce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
    Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate in carrying 
    out the feasibility study required by this subsection.
        (4) Departmental consultation.--The Secretary of Education 
    shall provide such assistance to the Advisory Committee as is 
    requested and practicable in conducting the study required by this 
    subsection.
    (e) Reports.--
        (1) Interim report.--The Advisory Committee shall, not later 
    than 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, prepare and 
    submit an interim report containing any such legislative changes as 
    the Advisory Committee recommends to reform and simplify the needs 
    analysis under part F of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 
    1965 (20 U.S.C. 1087kk et seq.) and forms and other requirements 
    under such title to the Committee on Education and the Workforce of 
    the House of Representatives, the Committee on Health, Education, 
    Labor, and Pensions of the Senate, and the Secretary of Education.
        (2) Final report.--The Advisory Committee shall, not later than 
    1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, prepare and submit 
    a full final report on the study, including recommendations for 
    regulatory and administrative changes required by this section, to 
    the Committee on Education and the Workforce of the House of 
    Representatives, the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and 
    Pensions of the Senate, and the Secretary of Education.
    (f) Implementation.--The Secretary of Education shall consult with 
the Committee on Education and the Workforce of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and 
Pensions of the Senate and shall subsequently initiate a redesign of 
the form required by section 483 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 
(20 U.S.C. 1090). Such redesign shall include the testing of 
alternative simplified versions of the free Federal form. The Secretary 
shall keep the Committee on Education and the Workforce of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and 
Pensions of the Senate fully and currently informed on the progress of 
these efforts.
    (g) Postponement of Tax Table Update Pending Report and 
Implementation.--The Secretary of Education shall not implement or 
enforce for the award year 2004-2005 the annual update to the 
allowances for State and other taxes in the tables used in the Federal 
needs analysis methodology, as prescribed by the Secretary on May 30, 
2003 (68 Fed. Reg. 32473).
    Sec. 306. The Secretary of Education shall treat as timely filed an 
application under section 8003 of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965 from the local educational agency for Hydaburg, 
Alaska, for a payment for fiscal year 2004, and shall process such 
application for payment, if the Secretary has received the fiscal year 
2004 application not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act.
    This title may be cited as the ``Department of Education 
Appropriations Act, 2004''.

    functions (as in existence in fiscal year 2002) of the Office of 
    Pesticide Programs of the Environmental Protection Agency for the

    decisionmaking for the review of pesticide registration 
    applications and associated tolerances (including increases in the 
    number of full-time equivalent positions in the Environmental 
    Protection Agency engaged in those activities) over the costs for

    Pesticide Programs of the Environmental Protection Agency for the 
    fiscal year (excluding the amount of any fees appropriated for the 
    fiscal year) is not more than 3 percent below the amount of 
    appropriations for covered functions for fiscal year 2002 
    (excluding the amount of any fees appropriated for the fiscal 
    year).

    assess registration service fees under subsection (b) during any 
    portion of a fiscal year as the result of paragraph (2) and is 
    subsequently permitted to assess the fees under subsection (b) 
    during the fiscal year, the Administrator shall assess and collect

    fiscal year, notwithstanding any provisions of subsection (b) 
    relating to the date fees are to be paid.

maximum extent practicable consistent with the degrees of risk 
presented by pesticides and the type of review appropriate to evaluate 
risks, the Administrator shall identify and evaluate reforms to the

decision review periods in effect on the effective date of the 
Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 for pesticide

            (B) The acquisition of Fern Lake and its surrounding

        Middlesboro, Kentucky, and environs.
            (D) The 4,500-acre Fern Lake watershed is privately owned, 
        and the 150-acre lake and part of the watershed are currently 
        for sale, but the Secretary of the Interior is precluded by the

        using appropriated funds to acquire the lands.

        appropriated funds if necessary, in addition to other 
        acquisition methods, to acquire from willing sellers Fern Lake
