Subparagraph (C) of section 807(b)(2) of the Fair

‘‘(C) that meets the following requirements:
‘‘(i) The housing is in a facility or commu-
nity intended and operated for the occupancy of
at least 80 percent of the occupied units by at
least one person 55 years of age or older.
‘‘(ii) The housing facility or community
publishes and adheres to policies and proce-
dures that demonstrate the intent required
under clause (i), whether or not such policies
and procedures are set forth in the governing
documents of such facility or community.
‘‘(iii) The housing facility or community
complies with rules made by the Secretary for
the verification of occupancy. Such rules shall
allow for that verification by reliable surveys
and affidavits and shall include examples of the

that person has no actual knowledge that the facility or
community is not or will not be eligible for such exemption
and the facility or community gives such person a written
certification stating the compliance of the facility or com-
munity with the requirements for such exemption.’’.

SEC. 3. GOOD FAITH ATTEMPT AT COMPLIANCE DEFENSE
AGAINST CIVIL MONEY DAMAGES.
Section 807(b) of the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C.
3607(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
‘‘(5) GOOD FAITH RELIANCE.—(A) A person shall not
be held personally liable for monetary damages for a viola-
tion of this title if such person reasonably relied, in good
faith, on the application of the exemption under this sub-
section relating to housing for older persons.
‘‘(B) For the purposes of this paragraph, a person en-
gaged in the business of residential real estate transactions
may show good faith reliance on the application of the ex-
emption by showing that—
‘‘(i) such person has no actual knowledge that
the facility or community is not, or will not, be eligi-
ble for such exemption; and
‘‘(ii) the facility or community has certified to
such person, in writing and on oath or affirmation,
that the facility or community complies with the re-
quirements for such exemption.’’.
technological superiority of future United States
forces.
(17) The fiscal year 1995 defense budget failed
to meet the current force structure goal of 184 mod-
ern long-range bombers, as established in the Bot-
tom-Up Review. Unless this long-range bomber ca-
pability shortfall is addressed promptly, the Nation’s
ability to project force will be undermined and the
existing bomber industrial base may be placed at
risk.
(18) The Administration has initially agreed to
or proposed treaty limitations, or has unilaterally
adopted positions, that prohibit the United States
from testing or deploying effective missile defense
systems.
(19) United Nations assessments to the United
States for peacekeeping missions totaled over
$1,000,000,000 in 1994. The United States is as-
sessed 31.7 percent of annual United Nations costs
for peacekeeping. The next highest contributor,
Japan, only pays 12.5 percent of such costs. The
Department of Defense also incurs hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars in costs every year for United States
military participation in United Nations peacekeep-
ing or humanitarian missions, most of which are not
reimbursed by the United Nations. For fiscal year
1994, these Department of Defense costs totaled
over $1,721,000,000.
(20) Credible and effective collective action on
international security concerns through the United
Nations and regional organizations such as the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization can, in appro-
priate cases, advance world peace, strengthen the
national security of the United States, and foster
more equitable burden-sharing with friends and al-
lies of the United States in military, political, and fi-
nancial terms.
SEC. 102. POLICY.
The Congress is committed to providing adequate re-
sources to protect the national security interests of the
United States, including the resources necessary—
(1) to provide for sufficient forces to meet the
national security strategy of being able to fight and
win two nearly simultaneously major regional con-
flicts;
(2) to provide pay and benefits necessary for
members of the Armed Forces (including members
of the National Guard and Reserve as well as active
duty members) to begin closing the gap between
rates of civilian pay and rates of military pay;

‘‘(ii) PATTERNS OF NEGLIGENT CON-
DUCT.—If the Commissioner determines 
that a person has entered covered mer-
chandise into the customs territory of the 
United States by means of a clerical error 
referred to in subclause (I) or (II) of 
clause (i) and that the clerical error is part 
of a pattern of negligent conduct on the 
part of that person, the Commissioner may 
determine, notwithstanding clause (i), that 
the person has entered such covered mer-
chandise into the customs territory of the 
United States through evasion. 
‘‘(iii) ELECTRONIC
REPETITION
OF 
ERRORS.—For purposes of clause (ii), the 
mere nonintentional repetition by an elec-
tronic system of an initial clerical error 
does not constitute a pattern of negligent 
conduct.
