16 SEC. 9. RESERVE FUND FOR PROMOTION OF FULL FUND17 ING FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION.

18 In the House, whenever the Committee on Appropria19 tions reports a bill or joint resolution, or an amendment

20 thereto is offered, or a conference report thereon is sub21 mitted that provides new budget authority for fiscal year

22 2002 in excess of $6,368,000,000 for programs authorized

5 DEBT REDUCTION.

6 If the report provided pursuant to section 202(e)(2)

7 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the budget and

8 economic outlook: update (for fiscal years 2002 through

9 2011), estimates an on-budget surplus for any of fiscal

10 years 2001 through 2011 that exceeds the estimated on11 budget surplus set forth in the Congressional Budget Of12 fice’s January 2001 budget and economic outlook for such

13 fiscal year, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget

14 of the House may, in an amount not to exceed the increase

1 SEC. 12. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 13301 OF THE BUDG2 ET ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 1990.

3 (a) IN GENERAL.—In the House, notwithstanding

4 section 302(a)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of

5 1974 and section 13301 of the Budget Enforcement Act

6 of 1990, the joint explanatory statement accompanying

7 the conference report on any concurrent resolution on the

1 budget authority in the year in which they first become

2 available for obligation.

3 SEC. 14. FEDERAL EMPLOYEE PAY.

4 (a) FINDINGS.—The House of Representatives finds

5 the following:

6 (1) Members of the uniformed services and ci7 vilian employees of the United States make signifi8 cant contributions to the general welfare of the Na9 tion.

10 (2) Increases in the pay of members of the uni11 formed services and of civilian employees of the

12 United States have not kept pace with increases in

13 the overall pay levels of workers in the private sec14 tor, so that there now exists—

15 (A) a 32 percent gap between compensa16 tion levels of Federal civilian employees and

17 compensation levels of private sector workers;

18 and

19 (B) an estimated 10 percent gap between

20 compensation levels of members of the uni21 formed services and compensation levels of pri22 vate sector workers.

23 (3) The President’s budget proposal for fiscal

24 year 2002 includes a 4.6 percent pay raise for mili25 tary personnel.
58

•HCON 83 RH

1 (4) The Office of Management and Budget has

2 requested that Federal agencies plan their fiscal

3 year 2002 budgets with a 3.6 percent pay raise for

4 civilian Federal employees.

5 (5) In almost every year during the past 2 dec6 ades, there have been equal adjustments in the com7 pensation of members of the uniformed services and

8 the compensation of civilian employees of the United

9 States.

10 (b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—

11 It is the sense of the House of Representatives that rates

12 of compensation for civilian employees of the United

13 States should be adjusted at the same time, and in the

14 same proportion, as are rates of compensation for mem15 bers of the uniformed services.

16 SEC. 15. ASSET BUILDING FOR THE WORKING POOR.

17 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress find the following:

18 (1) For the vast majority of United States

19 households, the pathway to the economic main20 stream and financial security is not through spend21 ing and consumption, but through savings, investing,

22 and the accumulation of assets.

23 (2) One-third of all Americans have no assets

24 available for investment and another 20 percent

25 have only negligible assets. The situation is even
59

•HCON 83 RH

1 more serious for minority households; for example,

2 60 percent of African-American households have no

3 or negative financial assets.

4 (3) Nearly 50 percent of all children in America

5 live in households that have no assets available for

6 investment, including 40 percent of Caucasian chil7 dren and 73 percent of African-American children.

8 (4) Up to 20 percent of all United States

9 households do not deposit their savings in financial

10 institutions and, thus, do not have access to the

11 basic financial tools that make asset accumulation

12 possible.

13 (5) Public policy can have either a positive or

14 a negative impact on asset accumulation. Traditional

15 public assistance programs based on income and

16 consumption have rarely been successful in sup17 porting the transition to economic self-sufficiency.

18 Tax policy, through $288,000,000,000 in annual tax

19 incentives, has helped lay the foundation for the

20 great middle class.

21 (6) Lacking an income tax liability, low-income

22 working families cannot take advantage of asset de23 velopment incentives available through the Federal

24 tax code.
60

•HCON 83 RH

1 (7) Individual Development Accounts have prov2 en to be successful in helping low-income working

3 families save and accumulate assets. Individual De4 velopment Accounts have been used to purchase

5 long-term, high-return assets, including homes, post6 secondary education and training, and small busi7 ness.

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con9 gress that the Federal tax code should support a signifi10 cant expansion of Individual Development Accounts so

11 that millions of low-income, working families can save,

12 build assets, and move their lives forward; thus, making

13 positive contributions to the economic and social well14 being of the United States, as well as to its future.

15 SEC. 16. FEDERAL FIRE PREVENTION ASSISTANCE.

16 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:

17 (1) Increased demands on firefighting and

18 emergency medical personnel have made it difficult

19 for local governments to adequately fund necessary

20 fire safety precautions.

21 (2) The Government has an obligation to pro22 tect the health and safety of the firefighting per23 sonnel of the United States and to ensure that they

24 have the financial resources to protect the public.
61

•HCON 83 RH

1 (3) The high rates in the United States of

2 death, injury, and property damage caused by fires

3 demonstrates a critical need for Federal investment

4 in support of firefighting personnel.

5 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con6 gress that the Government should support the core oper7 ations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency by

8 providing needed fire grant programs to assist our fire9 fighters and rescue personnel as they respond to more

10 than 17,000,000 emergency calls annually. To accomplish

11 this task, Congress supports preservation of the Assist12 ance to Firefighters grant program. Continued support of

13 the Assistance to Firefighters grant program will enable

14 local firefighters to adequately protect the lives of count15 less Americans put at risk by insufficient fire protection.

16 SEC. 17. SALES TAX DEDUCTION.

17 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that—

18 (1) in 1986 the ability to deduct State sales

19 taxes was eliminated from the Federal tax code;

20 (2) the States of Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming,

21 Washington, Florida, Nevada, and South Dakota

22 have no State income tax;

23 (3) the citizens of those seven States continue

24 to be treated unfairly by paying significantly more in

25 taxes to the Government than taxpayers with an
62

•HCON 83 RH

1 identical profile in different State because they are

2 prohibited from deducting their State sales taxes

3 from their Federal income taxes in lieu of a State

4 income tax;

5 (4) the design of the Federal tax code is pref6 erential in its treatment of States with State income

7 taxes over those without State income taxes;

8 (5) the current Federal tax code infringes upon

9 States’ rights to tax their citizens as they see fit in

10 that the Federal tax code exerts unjust influence on

11 States without State income taxes to impose one

12 their citizens;

13 (6) the current surpluses that our Government

14 holds provide an appropriate time and opportunity

15 to allow taxpayers to deduct either their State sales

16 taxes or their State income taxes from their Federal

17 income tax returns; and

18 (7) over 50 Members of the House have cospon19 sored legislation to restore the sales tax deduction

20 option to the Federal tax code.

21 (b) SENSE OF HOUSE.—It is the sense of the House

22 of Representatives that the Committee on Ways and

23 Means should consider legislation that makes State sales

24 tax deductible against Federal income taxes.

•HCON 83 RH

1 SEC. 18. FUNDING FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

2 AT CHILDREN’S TEACHING HOSPITALS

3 It is the sense of Congress that:

4 (1) Function 550 of the President’s budget

5 should include an appropriate level of funding for

6 graduate medical education conducted at inde7 pendent children’s teaching hospitals in order to en8 sure access to care by millions of children nation9 wide.

10 (2) An emphasis should be placed on the role

11 played by community health centers in underserved

12 rural and urban communities. An increase in fund13 ing for community health centers should not come at

14 the expense of the Community Access Program.

15 Both programs should be funded adequately, with

16 the intention of doubling funding for increased ca17 pacity for community health centers, in addition to

18 keeping the Community Access Program operational.

19 (3) The medicare program should emphasize

20 such preventive medical services as those provided by

21 vision rehabilitation professionals in saving Govern22 ment funds and preserving the independence of a

23 growing number of seniors in the coming years.

24 (4) Funding under function 550 should also re25 flect the importance of the Ryan White CARE Act

26 to persons afflicted with HIV/AIDS. Funds allocated
64

•HCON 83 RH

1 from the CARE Act serve as the safety net for thou2 sands of low-income people living with HIV/AIDS

3 who reside in metropolitan areas but are ineligible

4 for entitlement programs. Moreover, the CARE Act

5 provides critically needed grants directly to existing

6 community-based clinics and public health providers

7 to develop and deliver both early and ongoing com8 prehensive services to persons with HIV/AIDS.

9 SEC. 19. CONCURRENT RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY BEN10 EFITS TO RETIRED MEMBERS OF THE ARMED

11 FORCES.

12 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that the Secretary of

13 Defense is the appropriate official for evaluating the exist14 ing standards for the provision of concurrent retirement

15 and disability benefits to retired members of the Armed

16 Forces and the need to change these standards.

17 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con18 gress that—

19 (1) the Secretary of Defense should report to

20 the congressional committees of jurisdiction on the

21 provision of concurrent retirement and disability

22 benefits to retired members of the Armed Forces;

23 (2) the report should address the number of in24 dividuals retired from the Armed Forces who would

25 otherwise be eligible for disability compensation, the
65

•HCON 83 RH

1 comparability of the policy to Office of Personnel

2 Management guidelines for civilian Federal retirees,

3 the applicability of this policy to prevailing private

4 sector standards, the number of individuals poten5 tially eligible for concurrent benefits who receive

6 other forms of Federal assistance and the cost of

7 that assistance, and alternative initiatives that would

8 accomplish the same end as concurrent receipt of

9 military retired pay and disability compensation;

10 (3) the Secretary of Defense should submit leg11 islation that he considers appropriate; and

12 (4) upon receiving such report, the committees

13 of jurisdiction, working with the Committees on the

14 Budget of the House and Senate, should consider

15 appropriate legislation.
