16 SEC. 101. EMERGENCY STEEL LOAN GUARANTEE PROGRAM.

17 (a) SHORT TITLE.—This chapter may be cited as the

18 ‘‘Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee Act of 1999’’.

19 (b) CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.—Congress finds

20 that—

21 (1) the United States steel industry has been se22 verely harmed by a record surge of more than

23 40,000,000 tons of steel imports into the United

24 States in 1998, caused by the world financial crisis;

25 (2) this surge in imports resulted in the loss of

26 more than 10,000 steel worker jobs in 1998, and was
4

HR 1664 PP

1 the imminent cause of 3 bankruptcies by medium2 sized steel companies, Acme Steel, Laclede Steel, and

3 Geneva Steel;

4 (3) the crisis also forced almost all United States

5 steel companies into—

6 (A) reduced volume, lower prices, and fi7 nancial losses; and

8 (B) an inability to obtain credit for contin9 ued operations and reinvestment in facilities;

10 (4) the crisis also has affected the willingness of

11 private banks and investment institutions to make

12 loans to the United States steel industry for continued

13 operation and reinvestment in facilities;

14 (5) these steel bankruptcies, job losses, and finan15 cial losses are also having serious negative effects on

16 the tax base of cities, counties, and States, and on the

17 essential health, education, and municipal services

18 that these government entities provide to their citi19 zens; and

20 (6) a strong steel industry is necessary to the

21 adequate defense preparedness of the United States in

22 order to have sufficient steel available to build the

23 ships, tanks, planes, and armaments necessary for the

24 national defense.

HR 1664 PP

1 SEC. 201. PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT.

2 (a) SHORT TITLE.—This chapter may be cited as the

3 ‘‘Emergency Oil and Gas Guaranteed Loan Program Act’’.

4 (b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—

5 (1) consumption of foreign oil in the United

6 States is estimated to equal 56 percent of all oil con7 sumed, and that percentage could reach 68 percent by

8 2010 if current prices prevail;

9 (2) the number of oil and gas rigs operating in

10 the United States is at its lowest since 1944, when

11 records of this tally began;

12 (3) if prices do not increase soon, the United

13 States could lose at least half its marginal wells,

14 which in aggregate produce as much oil as the United

15 States imports from Saudi Arabia;

16 (4) oil and gas prices are unlikely to increase for

17 at least several years;

18 (5) declining production, well abandonment, and

19 greatly reduced exploration and development are

20 shrinking the domestic oil and gas industry;

21 (6) the world’s richest oil producing regions in

22 the Middle East are experiencing increasingly greater

23 political instability;

24 (7) United Nations policy may make Iraq the

25 swing oil producing nation, thereby granting Saddam

26 Hussein tremendous power;
31

HR 1664 PP

1 (8) reliance on foreign oil for more than 60 per2 cent of our daily oil and gas consumption is a na3 tional security threat;

4 (9) the level of United States oil security is di5 rectly related to the level of domestic production of oil,

6 natural gas liquids, and natural gas; and

7 (10) a national security policy should be devel8 oped that ensures that adequate supplies of oil are

9 available at all times free of the threat of embargo or

10 other foreign hostile acts.

11 (c) DEFINITIONS.—In this section:

12 (1) BOARD.—The term ‘‘Board’’ means the Loan

13 Guarantee Board established by subsection (e).

6 Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.))

7 that is an oil field service company whose
