IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 24, 1998
Mr. THOMAS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means
A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide
individuals a credit against income tax for the purchase
of a new energy efficient affordable home and of energy
efficiency improvements to an existing home.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Energy Efficient Af-
fordable Home Act of 1998’’.
SEC. 2. CREDIT FOR PURCHASE OF NEW ENERGY EFFI-
CIENT HOME AND OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING HOMES.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Subpart A of part IV of sub-
chapter A of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (relating to nonrefundable personal credits) is
amended by inserting after section 25A the following new
section:
‘‘SEC. 25B. PURCHASE OF NEW ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME
AND 
OF 
ENERGY 
EFFICIENCY 
IMPROVE-
MENTS TO EXISTING HOMES.
‘‘(a) ALLOWANCE OF CREDIT.—In the case of an in-
dividual, there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax

equal to—
‘‘(1) the purchase price of each new energy effi-
cient dwelling purchased by the taxpayer during the

ceed $2,000.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) Manufacturers of prescription drugs engage
in price discrimination practices that compel many
older Americans to pay substantially more for pre-
scription drugs than the drug manufacturers’ most
favored customers, such as health insurers, health
maintenance organizations, and the Federal Govern-
ment.
(2) On average, older Americans who buy their
own prescription drugs pay twice as much for pre-
scription drugs as the drug manufacturers’ most fa-
vored customers. In some cases, older Americans pay
over 15 times more for prescription drugs than the
most favored customers.
(3) The discriminatory pricing by major drug
manufacturers sustains their annual profits of
$20,000,000,000, but causes financial hardship and
impairs the health and well-being of millions of older
Americans. More than one in eight older Americans
are forced to choose between buying their food and
buying their medicines.
(4) Most federally funded health care programs,
including Medicaid, the Veterans Health Administra-
tion, the Public Health Service, and the Indian
Health Service, obtain prescription drugs for their
