IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 5, 1993
Mr. BILIRAKIS (for himself, Mr. BUNNING, and Mr. MCCOLLUM) introduced
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To provide that professional baseball teams, and leagues
composed of such teams, shall be subject to the antitrust
laws.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDING.
The Congress finds that the business of providing for
profit public baseball games between teams of professional
baseball players in a league and between such teams of
rival leagues is in, or affects, interstate commerce.
SEC. 2. APPLICATION OF ANTITRUST LAWS TO PROFES-
SIONAL BASEBALL.
The antitrust laws shall apply to the business of pro-
viding for profit public baseball games between teams of
professional baseball players and to leagues composed of
teams of professional baseball players.
SEC. 3. DEFINITION.
For purposes of this Act, the term ‘‘antitrust laws’’
has the meaning given it in subsection (a) of the first sec-
tion of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. 12(a)), except that
such term includes section 5 of the Federal Trade Com-
mission Act (15 U.S.C. 45) to the extent that such section
5 relates to unfair methods of competition.
SEC. 4. APPLICATION OF SECTION 2.
Section 2 shall not apply with respect to conduct oc-
curring before the date of the enactment of this Act.
Æ
(1) the National Railroad Passenger Corpora-
tion (Amtrak) has dramatically improved both the
quality and the economics of rail passenger service
in the past 20 years, and provides a marketable and
highly desired national transportation service;
(2) Amtrak is recognized as a critical element
of a balanced national transportation system and as
an energy efficient, environmentally benign alter-
native to growing highway and airport congestion;
(3) Amtrak provides transportation to nearly
22,000,000 intercity and 18,000,000 commuter pas-
sengers each year, and serves as a vital national
transportation link to rural America, which increas-
ingly is losing other modes of transportation;
(4) low cost rail transportation service between
Chicago and Florida would serve the needs of the el-
derly, rural residents, low-income families, tourists,
business interests, and military personnel not now
adequately served by the interstate highway or other
transportation systems;
(5) restoration of the Floridian route would fill
an important gap that exists in Amtrak’s current
route system and provide passenger rail service to
11,500,000 people who live in numerous cities and
towns, such as Evansville, Nashville, and Chat-
tanooga, not currently served by Amtrak;
(6) an Amtrak route linking Chicago, Illinois,
and Jacksonville, Florida, via the cities of Evans-
ville, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta would
serve as an economic boost to both the Midwest and
Southeast portions of the United States; and
(7) the startup costs for reestablishing the Flo-
ridian route will be shared between both Federal and
State governments, and substantial enthusiasm and
financial support for this route already exists within
the States of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Georgia, and Florida.
SEC. 3. SERVICE REQUIREMENT.
The National Railroad Passenger Corporation shall,
before January 1, 1996, begin the operation of regular
rail passenger service from Chicago, Illinois, via Evans-
ville, Indiana, Nashville, Tennessee, Chattanooga, Ten-
nessee, and Atlanta, Georgia, to Jacksonville, Florida.
SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
There are authorized to be appropriated to the Sec-
retary of Transportation for the benefit of the National
Railroad Passenger Corporation for the purpose of carry-
ing out this Act such sums as may be necessary for each
of the fiscal years 1994 through 1996.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to promote the development

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 24, 1993
Mr. DIXON (for himself, Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts, Mrs. MINK, Mr. MUR-
PHY, Mr. OWENS, Mr. JEFFERSON, Mr. WASHINGTON, Ms. NORTON, Mr.
RANGEL, and Mr. TORRES) introduced the following bill; which was re-
ferred to the Committee on Ways and Means
A BILL
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to promote
the development and preservation of rental housing for
low- and moderate-income families.
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 ‘‘Low-Income Housing
Revitalization Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the United States faces an unprecedented
crisis arising from the rapid decline of affordable
housing,
(2) new construction of housing for low- and
moderate-income families is at a virtual standstill,
(3) according to a 1989 report of the Bureau
of the Census, the Nation’s housing stock occupied
by persons living in poverty is 12.4 million units, of
which 2.2 million units (or 18 percent) are sub-
standard,
(4) by 1995, as many as 900,000 federally sub-
sidized low-income rental housing units could be lost
as a result of the prepayment of federally subsidized
mortgages,
(5) scores of existing low-income housing units
will continue to disappear as older buildings are de-
stroyed and in their place are constructed higher
priced rental units and condominiums, creating an
even greater shortage of affordable housing,
(6) Federal expenditures to meet the housing
needs of low- and moderate-income persons declined
70 percent from $30,200,000,000 billion in fiscal
year 1981 to $7,500,000,000 billion in fiscal year
1989, and such expenditures were increased only to
$8,900,000,000 billion in fiscal year 1990 and to
$9,500,000,000 billion in fiscal year 1991,
(7) an increasing number of Americans face the
possibility of homelessness unless existing low-in-
come housing units are rehabilitated and new hous-
ing units are constructed,
(8) the rising number of ill-housed and home-
less families is partially caused by displacement due
to the rehabilitation and gentrification of formerly
low-income housing, and
(9) owners of substandard low-income housing
units continue to claim Federal tax deductions with-
out making the necessary repairs or renovations to
bring their low-income housing property up to State
or local building codes.
(b) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this Act—
(1) to encourage the development of affordable,
decent, safe, and sanitary housing for low- and mod-
erate-income families,
(2) to rehabilitate and construct low-income
rental housing units by providing investment incen-
tives to private developers through a shortening of
the depreciation recovery period on low-income rent-
al property to 20 years,
