SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Availability and affordability of quality child care is 
        a major obstacle for working parents who struggle to remain 
        self-sufficient.
                    (A) Compared to all other income groups, the 
                working poor are the least likely to receive assistance 
                with their child care costs.
                    (B) Low-income families spend 24 percent of their 
                household income on child care, whereas middle-income 
                families spend 6 percent of their household income on 
                child care.
                    (C) 38 States have waiting lists for child care for 
                the working poor. Among those States, Georgia has 
                41,000 individuals on its waiting list, Texas has 
                36,000 individuals on its waiting list, and Illinois 
                and Alabama each have 20,000 individuals on their 
                waiting lists.
                    (D) One survey of low-income families on a waiting 
                list for subsidized child care found that of those 
                families paying for child care out of their own funds, 
                71 percent faced serious debt or bankruptcy.
                    (E) Half of the States and the District of 
                Columbia, even before the enactment of the Personal 
                Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act 
                of 1996 (Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105) during the 
                104th Congress, increased the proportion of child care 
                slots or dollars going to families on welfare, rather 
                than to working poor families.
            (2) The Congressional Budget Office estimates that there 
        will be $1,400,000,000 less expenditures of child care funds 
        for working poor families as a result of the States 
        implementing the work requirements imposed under the Personal 
        Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 
        (Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105).
            (3) Important types of child care are not available in 
        certain States including infant care, school-age care, care for 
        children with disabilities and special health care needs, and 
        child care for parents with unconventional or shifting work 
        hours.
                    (A) A 1995 State study by the Comptroller General 
                of the United States found a shortage of child care for 
                infants and children with special needs in inner 
                cities, and a shortage of all types of child care in 
                rural areas.
                    (B) Only one-third of the schools in low-income 
                neighborhoods offer school-age child care, compared 
                with 52 percent of schools in more affluent areas 
                offering such care.
                    (C) Eighth-graders who are left home alone for 11 
                or more hours a week report significantly greater use 
                of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana than eighth-
                graders who are not left home alone.
                    (D) Existing child care arrangements do not 
                accommodate the work schedules of many working women. 
                According to a 1995 statistic published by the 
                Department of Labor, 14,300,000 workers, nearly 1 in 5 
                full-time workers work nonstandard hours, and more than 
                1 in 3 of those workers are women.
                    (E) Only 10 percent of child care centers and 6 
                percent of family day care providers offer child care 
                on weekends. Yet one-third of working mothers with 
                annual incomes below the poverty level and one-quarter 
                of mothers with annual incomes above the poverty level 
                but below $25,000 work on weekends.
                    (F) Less than 30 percent of Head Start programs 
                operate on a full-time, full-year basis.

SEC. 3. ASSISTANCE FOR LOW-INCOME WORKING FAMILIES.

    Section 658B of the Child Care Development Block Grant Act of 1990 
(42 U.S.C. 9858) is amended to read as follows:

2002.
    ``(b) Appropriation.--The Secretary shall pay, from funds in the 
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $1,400,000,000 for fiscal years 
1997 through 2002, through the awarding of grants to States under this

question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``United States Commission on 
Rebuilding America for the 21st Century Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 1808, Albert Gallatin, while serving as President 
        Thomas Jefferson's Secretary of the Treasury, reported to 
        Congress on the infrastructure investments needed by the young 
        Nation.
            (2) Gallatin's plan built on President George Washington's 
        vision of connecting the interior settlements of the Nation 
        with the markets and ports of the East Coast through a network 
        of roads and canals, and provided a roadmap for infrastructure 
        development in the 19th century.
            (3) In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt convened a 
        conference of State and territorial governors, members of his 
        Cabinet and Congress, professional organizations, private 
        citizens, and government agencies to plan for the United States 
        conservation and infrastructure needs in the 20th century.
            (4) The resulting plan laid the groundwork for many of the 
        critical investments initiated by President Franklin D. 
        Roosevelt to jumpstart the Nation's recovery from the Great 
        Depression.
            (5) Today, as in 1808 and 1908, the United States is faced 
        with significant economic, environmental, and demographic 
        challenges.
            (6) To stave off the worst effects of global warming, the 
        United States will need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 
        significantly.
            (7) The Nation's population is projected to increase to 420 
        million by 2050, which is nearly a 50 percent increase from the 
        Nation's population size in 2000.
            (8) By 2050, more than 70 percent of the Nation's 
        population growth and economic growth is expected to take place 
        in extended networks of metropolitan regions linked by 
        environmental systems, transportation networks, economies, and 
        culture.
            (9) The National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue 
        Study Commission recently calculated that maintaining the 
        Nation's existing transportation system over the next 50 years 
        will require $225 billion annually. The latest transportation 
        authorization, SAFETEA-LU, provided only $244 billion total for 
        the 5 years ending with fiscal year 2009.
            (10) The American Society of Civil Engineers has given the 
        Nation's public infrastructure, consisting of water, sewer, and 
        transportation systems, a grade of D-minus, estimating that it 
        will cost $1.6 trillion over the next 5 years merely to repair 
        the Nation's existing infrastructure.
            (11) The Nation's decaying water infrastructure and a lack 
        of available funding to maintain and upgrade the Nation's 
        wastewater infrastructure pose a serious threat to water 
        quality. More than 72,000 miles of municipal water and sewer 
        pipe are more than 80 years old, threatening the health, 
        environment, and economy of communities large and small.
            (12) Population growth and associated development will 
        place the Nation's water resources under increasing stress, 
        including increased pollutant loads, increased potential for 
        flooding, diminished drinking water supplies, loss of aquatic 
        habitat, and stream scouring and erosion. Global warming will 
        exacerbate existing water challenges and make other changes to 
        the natural hydrology, including more extreme storm events, 
        more frequent droughts, higher air and water temperatures, 
        changes in timing of stream flows, and sea level rise. New 
        technologies and a comprehensive strategy will be needed to 
        overcome these challenges and ensure a safe, adequate, 
        reliable, and sustainable water supply.
            (13) The Environmental Protection Agency, the Congressional 
        Budget Office, and other stakeholders have identified a funding 
        gap of between $300 billion and $400 billion over the next 20 
        years for the restoration and replacement of wastewater 
        infrastructure, and an additional $250 billion over the next 30 
        years will be needed to replace worn-out drinking water pipes 
        and associated structures.
            (14) From 1999 to 2009, the Nation's electricity demand 
        rose by nearly 20 percent while transmission capacity grew by 
        only 3.5 percent. To accommodate increased demand, and to 
        accommodate increased electrical supply from renewable sources 
        by 2050, electrical transmission infrastructure requires 
        significant investment.
            (15) The Nation's rural economy is dependant on 
        transportation and communications networks to grow and compete 
        in an increasingly globalized market.
            (16) Significant under-investment in public lands 
        infrastructure jeopardizes the tremendous conservation, 
        environmental, and mixed use benefits that these lands provide 
        the public.
            (17) Much of the Nation's infrastructure was built in the 
        last half of the 20th century and will reach its capacity 
        limits early in the 21st century. Unless new capacity is 
        created in roads, rails, airports, seaports, and other systems, 
        the Nation's economic potential will be artificially limited.
            (18) Since 1980, the number of miles people in the United 
        States drive has grown 3 times faster than the Nation's 
        population. Residents of walkable cities, however, drive 26 
        percent fewer miles per day than those living in the most 
        sprawling areas.
            (19) By 2050, 89 million new or replaced homes as well as 
        190 billion square feet of new offices, stores, and other 
        nonresidential buildings will be constructed.
            (20) By 2050, smart growth building policies could reduce 
        total transportation-related CO&lt;INF&gt;2&lt;/INF&gt; emissions by 7 to 
        10 percent.
            (21) Development of a bold national plan to overcome these 
        challenges by 2050 will allow the United States to respond in 
        the most economically and environmentally sustainable way.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Prohibition of Cigarette Vending 
Machines Accessible to Minors in Federal Buildings and Lands Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) cigarette smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco 
        products continue to represent major health hazards to the 
        Nation, causing more than 420,000 deaths each year;
            (2) cigarette smoking continues to be the single most 
        preventable cause of death and disability in the United States;
            (3) tobacco products contain hazardous additives, gases, 
        and other chemical constituents dangerous to health;
            (4) the use of tobacco products costs the United States 
        more than $50,000,000,000 in direct health care costs, with 
        more than $21,000,000,000 of these costs being paid by 
        government funds;
            (5) tobacco products contain nicotine, a poisonous, 
        addictive drug;
            (6) all States prohibit the sale of tobacco products to 
        minors, but enforcement has been ineffective or nonexistent and 
        tobacco products remain one of the least regulated consumer 
        products in the United States;
            (7) over the past decade, little or no progress has been 
        made in reducing tobacco use among teenagers and recently, 
        teenage smoking rates appear to be rising;

        annually, at least half of which are illegally sold to minors;
            (10) reliable studies indicate that tobacco use is a 
        gateway to illicit drug use; and
            (11) the Federal Government has a major policy setting role 
        in ensuring that the use of tobacco products among minors is 
        discouraged to the maximum extent possible.
