SEC. 1002. REPEAL OF THE HELIUM ACT.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the United States Government’s helium re-
covery program was instituted in 1925, when helium
conservation was deemed to be a matter of national
security and no private sector helium recovery indus-
try existed;
(2) today, as compared to 1925, there is little
likelihood that the United States will have to field a
fleet of blimps on an emergency basis;
(3) private sources of helium are more than
adequate for serving existing and foreseeable future
national needs;
(4) since 1925, there has been a dramatic in-
crease in private industry’s involvement in helium
recovery, as a result of the free market discovery of
numerous commercial uses for helium;
(5) currently, private industry accounts for 90
percent of all helium extraction and consumption;
(6) the Government’s helium recovery program
currently owes the Department of the Treasury
$1,400,000,000 
and 
loses 
an 
additional
$120,000,000 yearly on interest alone, and there is
no prospect for repayment of this debt without sig-
nificant reform; and
(7) with combined public and private helium re-
serves considerably in excess of foreseeable national
helium needs, there is no longer any need for the
Federal Government to own and operate a helium
extraction and reserve program.
(b) REPEAL.—The Helium Act (50 U.S.C. 161 et
seq.) is repealed.
(c) SALE OF PROPERTY.—The Secretary of the Inte-
rior shall sell or otherwise dispose of, at the best possible
terms available to the United States, all facilities, equip-
ment, and other real or personal property, or rights there-
to, held by the United States in connection with activities
carried out under the Helium Act, unless such facilities,
equipment, or other real or personal property, or rights
thereto, are required for other Federal purposes.
(d) SALE OF HELIUM RESERVE.—The Secretary of
the Interior shall sell or otherwise dispose of, at the best
possible terms available to the United States, all helium
reserves held by the United States other than amounts
required for the specific immediate needs of the Federal
Government. Such sale shall be conducted in a manner
consistent with the orderly conduct of commercial helium
markets.
(e) REDUCTION OF FEDERAL DEBT.—All funds re-
ceived pursuant to subsections (c) and (d), and all
amounts remaining in the helium production fund estab-
lished under section 6(f) of the Helium Act, shall be con-
sidered full repayment of loans made under section 12 of
the Helium Act. Such funds shall be applied, subject to
appropriations, solely to the retirement of outstanding
United States Government debt, and may not be obligated
or expended for any other purpose, notwithstanding any
other provision of law that does not specifically reference
this section.
