Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Handgun Purchaser Licensing Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) In 2013, more than 33,000 Americans were killed by guns 
        and almost 90 percent of the firearms used in these deaths were 
        handguns.
            (2) Recently published research by top national experts, 
        notably on Missouri and Connecticut handgun purchaser licensing 
        laws, have estimated that Missouri's repeal of its handgun 
        purchaser licensing law led to a 25-percent increase in firearm 
        homicide rates while Connecticut's adoption of its handgun 
        purchaser licensing law led to a 40-percent decrease in firearm 
        homicide rates.
            (3) In States which have had effective handgun purchaser 
        licensing laws for decades, such as Connecticut, Massachusetts, 
        New Jersey, and New York, the vast majority of guns traced to 
        crimes originated in other States, which supports the need for 
        handgun purchaser licensing laws in every State.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act--
            (1) the terms ``Attorney General'' and ``handgun'' have the 
        meanings given those terms in section 921(a) of title 18, 
        United States Code; and
            (2) the term ``Indian tribe'' has the meaning given the 
        term in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and 
        Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b).

SEC. 4. GRANT PROGRAM AUTHORIZED FOR HANDGUN LICENSING.

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Enterprise Integration Act of 
2000''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Over 90 percent of United States companies engaged in 
        manufacturing are small and medium-sized businesses.
            (2) Most of these manufacturers produce goods for 
        assemblage into products of large companies.
            (3) The emergence of the World Wide Web and the 
        promulgation of international standards for product data 
        exchange greatly accelerated the movement toward electronically 
        integrated supply chains during the last half of the 1990's.
            (4) A major Wall Street firm recently estimated that the 
        adoption of electronic commerce-based supply chains in various 
        manufacturing industries can reduce business costs from 10 
        percent to 40 percent.
            (5) European and Asian countries are investing heavily in 
        electronic enterprise standards development, and in preparing 
        their smaller manufacturers to do business in the new 
        environment. European efforts are well advanced in the 
        aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding industries and are 
        beginning in other industries including home building, 
        furniture manufacturing, textiles, and apparel.
            (6) If United States manufacturers are to remain 
        competitive, they must match their overseas competition by 
        making sure that standards, including application protocols, 
        developed for electronic business in their industry worldwide 
        reflect their needs and the needs of their customers and 
        suppliers.
            (7) Many American small and medium-sized manufacturers run 
        the risk of losing their largest customers during the first 
        half of this decade unless they adopt computer aided design, 
        engineering, and manufacturing systems in their work places and 
        learn how to participate with customers and suppliers in 
        integrated electronic enterprises.
            (8) Application protocols are very complex standards, often 
        running thousands of pages, and require the cooperation of 
        entire industries for their development.
            (9) The National Institute of Standards and Technology, 
        because of the electronic commerce expertise in its 
        laboratories and quality program, its long history of working 
        cooperatively with manufacturers, and the nationwide reach of 
        its manufacturing extension program, is in a unique position to 
        help United States large and smaller manufacturers alike in 
        their responses to this challenge.
            (10) It is, therefore, in the national interest for the 
        National Institute of Standards and Technology to accelerate 
        its efforts--
                    (A) in helping major manufacturing industries 
                develop standards and enterprise integration processes 
                that are necessary to increase efficiency and lower 
                costs; and
                    (B) in making sure that every small or medium-sized 
                manufacturer has the option of upgrading its 
                manufacturing capabilities to the point where it can be 
                part of an electronic supply chain of a major 
                manufacturing industry.
