Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the President of the United States should appoint a

year, the withholding tables or procedures
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treas-
ury or his delegate under section 3402(a)
of such Code shall be modified to reflect
the increase in tax rates under clause (i).
(3) ECONOMIC GROWTH REQUIREMENTS.—The
economic growth requirements of this paragraph are
satisfied for any calendar year if, before the begin-
ning of such calendar year, the President determines
(and publishes such determination in the Federal
Register) that for such calendar year and the imme-
diately preceding calendar year—
(A) economic growth as measured by the
change in the real Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) is estimated to be greater than 4 per-
cent, and
(B) the rate of national unemployment
(seasonally adjusted) is estimated to be less
than 6.0 percent.
(4) RATE INCREASE PERCENTAGE.—The per-
centage determined under this paragraph is the per-
centage increase in the tax rates contained in section
1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which the
President estimates will result in an aggregate in-
crease in receipts under chapter 1 of such Code
in the United States, and it is unlikely that such a
small market could support the large investment
needed to develop new suppliers and attempts to do
so will raise the cost of medical devices.
(10) Courts that have considered the issue have
generally found that raw materials and component
part suppliers do not have a duty to evaluate the
safety and efficacy of the use of a raw material or
component part in a medical device, and also do not
have a duty to warn concerning the safety and effec-
tiveness of a medical device.
(11) Attempts to impose such duties will cause
more harm than good by driving raw materials and
component part suppliers to cease supplying manu-
facturers of permanently implantable medical de-
vices.
(12) In order to safeguard the availability of a
wide variety of life-saving and life-enhancing medical
devices, immediate action is needed to clarify the
permissible bases of liability for suppliers of raw ma-
terials and component parts used in the manufac-
ture of permanently implantable medical devices and
to provide expeditious procedures to dispose of un-
warranted suits against those suppliers so as to min-
imize litigation costs.
(2) The table of sections for chapter 43 of such
Code is amended by striking the item relating to sec-
tion 4973 and inserting the following new item:
‘‘Sec. 4973. Tax on excess contributions to individual retirement
accounts, individual training accounts, certain
403(b) contracts, and certain individual retirement
annuities.’’
(3) The table of sections for subchapter B of
chapter 68 of such Code is amended by striking the
item relating to section 6693 and inserting the fol-
lowing new item:
‘‘Sec. 6693. Failure to provide reports on individual retirement
accounts or annuities or on individual training ac-
counts.’’
(g) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendments made by
this section shall apply to contributions made for taxable
years beginning after December 31, 1994.
Æ
(2) permit United States actions that would as-
sist these peoples.
(b) PREPARATION OF REPORT.—The Administrator
of the Agency for International Development, in consulta-
tion with the Secretary of State, shall prepare a report
on indigenous and tribal peoples in developing countries.
This report shall include the following:
(1) A description of the economic, political, and
social situation of indigenous and tribal peoples.
(2) A discussion of the effects of United States
bilateral foreign assistance and United States-sup-
ported multilateral assistance on indigenous and
tribal peoples, including a description of those
projects and activities currently being funded by the
Agency for International Development—
(A) which have a positive impact on indige-
nous and tribal peoples, or
(B) which have a negative impact on indig-
enous and tribal peoples.
