To clarify the tax treatment of certain disability benefits received by former

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 5, 1993
Mrs. KENNELLY introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means
A BILL
To clarify the tax treatment of certain disability benefits
received by former police officers or firefighters.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN DISABILITY BENE-
FITS RECEIVED BY FORMER POLICE OFFI-
CERS OR FIREFIGHTERS.
(a) GENERAL RULE.—For purposes of determining
whether any amount to which this section applies is ex-
cludable from gross income under section 104(a)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the following conditions
shall be treated as personal injuries or sickness in the
course of employment:
(1) Heart disease.
(2) Hypertension.
(b) AMOUNTS TO WHICH SECTION APPLIES.—This
section shall apply to any amount—
(1) which is payable to an individual (or to the
survivors of an individual) who was a full-time em-
ployee of any police department or fire department
which is organized and operated by a State, by any
political subdivision thereof, or by any agency or in-
strumentality of a State or political subdivision
thereof; and
(2) which is received in calendar year 1989,
1990, or 1991.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term ‘‘State’’
includes the District of Columbia.
(c) WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.—If, on
the date of the enactment of this Act (or at any time with-
in the 1-year period beginning on such date of enactment)
credit or refund of any overpayment of tax resulting from
the provisions of this section is barred by any law or rule
of law, credit or refund of such overpayment shall, never-
theless, be allowed or made if claim therefore is filed be-
fore the date 1 year after such date of enactment.
(1) at the beginning of 1993, there were 13
United Nations international peacekeeping oper-
ations in existence, 9 of which were established since
1990;
(2) 
in 
1987 
the 
United 
Nations 
spent
$233,000,000 on all international peacekeeping op-
erations, compared to $3,800,000,000 budgeted for
this function in 1993;
(3) while the United States is currently as-
sessed 25 percent of the regular budget of the Unit-
ed Nations and its specialized agencies, the United
States had, until 1993, been assessed 30.4 percent
for the United Nations peacekeeping operations;
(4) by early 1993, the United Nations unilater-
ally increased the United States assessed level for
international peackeeping operations to 31.7 percent
to compensate for the breakup of the former Soviet
Union;
(5) the United States’ share of the United Na-
tions international peacekeeping assessments is sig-
nificantly higher than that of any other member
state, regardless of economic strength, location, or
potential to benefit from specific peacekeeping
missions;
(6) the United States Government faces a pro-
tected period of serious fiscal constraint, particularly
in its international affairs budget;
(7) there is growing concern in the Congress
over the potential for excessive reliance on United
Nations international peacekeeping operations for
the resolution of local and regional conflicts, includ-
ing concern over the continued viability of existing
United Nations peacekeeping operations that have
become permanent fixtures in local disputes rather
than serving to bring such disputes to resolution;
and
(8) for fiscal year 1994, the executive branch
has requested the creation of a United States
Peackeeping Emergency Fund to increase the ability
of the United States to respond quickly to unforseen
peacekeeping emergencies.
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the United States should not be assessed a
greater share for any international peacekeeping op-
eration than the current United States share of the
regular assessed budget for the international organi-
zation or entity with jurisdiction over that operation;

(2) The focus on automobiles has afforded the 
people of the United States increased mobility and 
interconnectivity, but has also resulted in increased 
congestion, higher greenhouse gas emissions, and a 
reduced focus on other modes of surface transpor-
tation. 
(3) Between 1955 and 2005, vehicle miles trav-
eled in the United States increased fivefold, bringing 
with it an escalation in traffic congestion. 
(4) Each year, Americans spend 4,200,000,000 
hours in traffic congestion, burning 2,900,000,000 
gallons of fuel. 
(5) Wasted time and fuel result in a 
$78,000,000,000 annual congestion tax, creating a 
financial drain on individuals and the economy as a 
whole. 
(6) The transportation sector accounts for 22 
percent of the greenhouse gases emitted annually in 
the United States, with 60 percent of the emissions 
coming from personal motor vehicle use. 
(7) Transportation costs account for approxi-
mately 18 percent of an average household’s expend-
