                established in regulations as the Secretary deems 
                appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this title.
    ``(B) In any case in which an individual's disability is based in 
whole or in part on a medical determination that the individual is a 
drug addict or alcoholic, such individual's benefits based on 
disability under this title which are otherwise payable for any month 
preceding the month in which application for such benefits is made 
(pursuant to section 202(j)(1) or the last sentence of section 223(b))

recovered from the condition treated, then, as a condition of receiving 
benefits based on disability under this title for any month after such 
period, the person must continue to comply with the terms, conditions, 
and requirements of such treatment and with the requirements imposed 
under paragraph (4), until the month in which the Secretary determines 
that the person has recovered from such condition.

title for any month ending after such failure and before the person has

under this title becomes payable for any month after a month for which 
such benefit was not payable under subparagraph (A), and who thereafter

based on disability shall be paid under this title for any month ending

based on disability shall be paid under this title for any month ending 
after such failure.
    ``(4) For purposes of this subsection, the term `benefit based on 
disability' of an individual means a disability insurance benefit of 
such individual under section 223 or a child's, widow's, or widower's 
insurance benefit of such individual under section 202 based on the 
disability of such individual.
    ``(5) Monthly insurance benefits under this title which would be 
payable to any individual (other than the disabled individual to whom 
benefits are not payable by reason of this subsection) on the basis of 
the wages and self-employment income of such a disabled individual but 
for the provisions of paragraph (1), shall be payable as though such 
disabled individual were receiving such benefits which are not payable 
under this subsection.
    ``(6) The Secretary shall provide for the monitoring and testing of 
all individuals who are receiving benefits under this title and who as 
a condition of such benefits are required to be undergoing treatment 
and complying with the terms, conditions, and requirements thereof as 
described in the preceding provisions of this subsection, in order to 
assure such compliance and to determine the extent to which the 
imposition of such requirements is contributing to the achievement of 
the purposes of this title. The Secretary may retain jurisdiction in 
the case of a hearing before the Secretary under this title to the 
extent the Secretary determines necessary to carry out the preceding 
sentence. The Secretary shall annually submit to the Congress a full 
and complete report on the Secretary's activities under this paragraph.

Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Commission on the Removal of 
Mexican-Americans to Mexico Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) From 1929 through 1941, Federal, State, and local 
        Government authorities and certain private sector entities 
        throughout the United States undertook an aggressive program to 
        forcibly remove individuals of Mexican ancestry from the United 
        States.
            (2) As many as 1,200,000 individuals of Mexican ancestry 
        who were United States citizens were forcibly removed to 
        Mexico.
            (3) These men, women, and children were removed outside the 
        United States in response to public pressure to curtail the 
        employment of Mexican-Americans, most of whom were United 
        States citizens or residing legally in the United States, 
        during the Depression.
            (4) Massive raids were conducted on Mexican-American 
        communities, and many of the people who were removed were never 
        able to return to the United States, their country of birth.
            (5) These raids targeted individuals of Mexican ancestry, 
        even when such individuals were United States citizens or 
        permanent legal residents.
            (6) These raids also separated such United States citizens 
        and permanent legal residents from their families and deprived 
        them of their livelihoods and constitutional rights.
            (7) No official inquiry into this matter has been made.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to establish a fact 
finding commission to determine whether United States citizens and 
permanent legal residents were forcibly removed to Mexico from 1929 to 
1941 in violation of law as a result of past directives of Federal, 
State and local governments and the impact of such removal on those 
individuals, their families, and the Mexican-American community in the

        American community in the United States;

Answer:
Pell for Performance Act This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to modify the Federal Pell Grant program. Specifically, if a Pell Grant recipient fails to complete an education program within the maximum timeframe for completion, then the Pell Grants received for such program convert to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan and are subject to repayment, in accordance with applicable terms and conditions.
