HR 3759 RS
(1) historically it is the policy of the Federal
Government to provide financial and other assistance
to the victims of natural disasters;
(2) since fiscal year 1988, the Congress has en-
acted 6 major disaster relief supplemental appropria-
tions Acts providing a total of $17,012,000,000 in
budget authority for Federal disaster assistance for
domestic disasters;
(3) the provision of Federal disaster assistance
reflects the traditions and values of the American peo-
ple who have always been willing to provide help to
those who have been victimized by catastrophic events
and forces beyond their control;
(4) the unprecedented growth in the cost of disas-
ter assistance needs to be reconciled with the re-
straints imposed on discretionary spending and with
the deficit reduction goals of the Budget Enforcement
Act of 1990 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1993, under which significant progress is being
made in reducing the Federal deficit; and
(5) a prospective policy should be developed for
anticipating and funding disaster needs and other
emergencies in keeping with continuing fiscal con-
straints on the Federal Government.
(b) It is the sense of the Senate that—
HR 3759 RS
(1) there should be established in the Senate a
Bipartisan Task Force on Funding Disaster Relief;
and
(2) the Task Force should—
(A) consult with the Senate committees with
jurisdiction over disaster relief programs;
(B) compile information on the history of
Federal disaster relief and recovery funding;
(C) evaluate the types and amounts of Fed-
eral financial assistance provided to individuals,
State and local governments, and nonprofit orga-
nizations after disasters strike, as well as rel-
evant insurance coverage and loss experience;
(D) consider the relationship between fund-
ing disaster relief and complying with the deficit
control requirements of the Budget Enforcement
Act of 1990, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1993, and other deficit control provisions
enacted prior to 1990; and
(E) report its findings, options, and rec-
ommendations to the Senate with regard to the
consideration of future disaster assistance fund-
ing requests prior to the convening of the 104th
Congress.
