SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Office of Strategic Services 
Congressional Gold Medal Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was America's 
        first effort to implement a system of strategic intelligence 
        during World War II and provided the basis for the modern-day 
        American intelligence and special operations communities. The 
        U.S. Special Operations Command and the National Clandestine 
        Service chose the OSS spearhead as their insignias.
            (2) OSS founder General William J. Donovan is the only 
        person in American history to receive our Nation's four highest 
        decorations, including the Medal of Honor. Upon learning of his 
        death in 1959, President Eisenhower called General Donovan the 
        ``last hero''. In addition to founding and leading the OSS, 
        General Donovan was also selected by President Roosevelt, who 
        called him his ``secret legs'', as an emissary to Great Britain 
        and continental Europe before the United States entered World 
        War II.
            (3) All the military branches during World War II 
        contributed personnel to the OSS. The present-day Special 
        Operations Forces trace their lineage to the OSS. Its Maritime 
        Unit was a precursor to the U.S. Navy SEALs. The OSS 
        Operational Groups and Jedburghs were forerunners to U.S. Army 
        Special Forces. The 801st/492nd Bombardment Group 
        (``Carpetbaggers'') were progenitors to the Air Force Special 
        Operations Command. The Marines who served in the OSS, 
        including the actor Sterling Hayden (a Silver Star recipient), 
        Col. William Eddy (a Distinguished Service Cross recipient who 
        was described as the ``nearest thing the United States has had 
        to a Lawrence of Arabia''), and Col. Peter Ortiz (a two-time 
        Navy Cross recipient), were predecessors to the Marine Special 
        Operations Command. U.S. Coast Guard personnel were recruited 
        for the Maritime Unit and its Operational Swimmer Group.
            (4) The OSS organized, trained, supplied, and fought with 
        resistance organizations throughout Europe and Asia that played 
        an important role in America's victory during World War II. 
        General Eisenhower credited the OSS's covert contribution in 
        France to the equivalent to having an extra military division. 
        General Eisenhower told General Donovan that if it did nothing 
        else, the photographic reconnaissance conducted by the OSS 
        prior to the D-Day Invasion justified its creation.
            (5) Four future directors of central intelligence served as 
        OSS officers: William Casey, William Colby, Allen Dulles, and 
        Richard Helms.
            (6) Women comprised more than one-third of OSS personnel 
        and played a critical role in the organization. They included 
        Virginia Hall, the only civilian female to receive a 
        Distinguished Service Cross in World War II, and Julia Child.
            (7) OSS recruited Fritz Kolbe, a German diplomat who became 
        America's most important spy against the Nazis in World War II.
            (8) America's leading scientists and scholars served in the 
        OSS Research and Analysis Branch, including Ralph Bunche, the 
        first African-American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize; 
        Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.; 
        Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg; Sherman Kent; John King 
        Fairbank; and Walt Rostow. Its ranks included seven future 
        presidents of the American Historical Association, five of the 
        American Economic Association, and two Nobel laureates.
            (9) The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence 
        and Research traces its creation to the OSS Research and 
        Analysis Branch.
            (10) James Donovan, who was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 
        Steven Spielberg movie ``Bridge of Spies'' and negotiated the 
        release of U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers, served as General 
        Counsel of the OSS.
            (11) The OSS invented and employed new technology through 
        its Research and Development Branch, inventing new weapons and 
        revolutionary communications equipment. Dr. Christian 
        Lambertsen invented the first underwater rebreathing apparatus 
        that was first utilized by the OSS and is known today as SCUBA.
            (12) OSS Detachment 101 operated in Burma and pioneered the 
        art of unconventional warfare. It was the first United States 
        unit to deploy a large guerrilla army deep in enemy territory. 
        It has been credited with the highest kill/loss ratio for any 
        infantry-type unit in American military history and was awarded 
        a Presidential Unit Citation.
            (13) Its X-2 branch pioneered counterintelligence with the 
        British and established the modern counterintelligence 
        community. The network of contacts built by the OSS with 
        foreign intelligence services led to enduring Cold War 
        alliances.
            (14) Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North 
        Africa in November 1942, was aided by the networks established 
        and information acquired by the OSS to guide Allied landings.
            (15) OSS Operation Halyard rescued more than 500 downed 
        airmen trapped behind enemy lines in Yugoslavia, one of the 
        most daring and successful rescue operations of World War II.
            (16) OSS ``Mercy Missions'' at the end of World War II 
        saved the lives of thousands of Allied prisoners of war whom it 
        was feared would be murdered by the Japanese.
            (17) The handful of surviving men and women of the OSS whom 
        General Donovan said performed ``some of the bravest acts of 
        the war'' are members of the ``Greatest Generation''. They have 
        never been collectively recognized for their heroic and 
        pioneering service in World War II.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Southern High Plains Groundwater 
Resource Conservation Act''.

 SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) A reliable source of groundwater is an essential 
        element of the economy of the communities on the High Plains.
            (2) The High Plains Aquifer and the Ogallala Aquifer are 
        closely related hydrogeographic structures. The High Plains 
        Aquifer consists largely of the Ogallala Aquifer with small 
        components of other geologic units.
            (3) The High Plains Aquifer experienced a dramatic decline 
        in water table levels in the latter half of the twentieth 
        century. The average weighted decline in the aquifer from 1950 
        to 1997 was 12.6 feet (USGS Fact Sheet 124-99, Dec. 1999).
            (4) The decline in water table levels is especially 
        pronounced in the Southern Ogallala Aquifer, reporting that 
        large areas in the States of Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas 
        experienced declines of over 100 feet in that period (USGS Fact 
        Sheet 124-99, Dec. 1999).
            (5) The saturated thickness of the High Plains Aquifer has 
        declined by over 50 percent in some areas (1186 USGS Circular 
        27, 1999). Furthermore, the survey has reported that the 
        percentage of the High Plains Aquifer which has a saturated 
        thickness of 100 feet or more declined from 54 percent to 51 
        percent in the period from 1980 to 1997 (USGS Fact Sheet 124-
        99, Dec. 1999).
            (6) The decreased water levels in the High Plains Aquifer 
        coupled with higher pumping lift costs raise concerns about the 
        long-term sustainability of irrigated agriculture in the High 
        Plains. (``External Effects of Irrigators' Pumping Decisions, 
        High Plains Aquifer'' Alley and Schefter, American Geophysical 
        Union paper #7W0326; Water Resources Research, Vol. 23, No. 7 
        1123-1130, July 1987).
            (7) Hydrological modeling by the United States Geological 
        Survey indicates that in the context of sustained high 
        groundwater use in the surrounding region, reductions in 
        groundwater pumping at the single farm level or at a very local 
        level of up to 100 square miles, have a very time limited 
        impact on conserving the level of the local water table, thus 
        creating a disincentive for individual water users to invest in 
        water conservation measures. (``External Effects of Irrigators' 
        Pumping Decisions, High Plains Aquifer'', Alley and Schefter, 
        American Geophysical Union, paper #7W0326; Water Resources 
        Research, Vol. 23, No. 7 1123-1130, July 1987).
            (8) Incentives must be created for conservation of 
        groundwater on a regional scale, in order to achieve an 
        agricultural economy on the Southern High Plains that is 
        sustainable.
            (9) For water conservation incentives to function, Federal, 
        State, tribal, and local water policymakers, and individual 
        groundwater users must have access to reliable information 
        concerning aquifer recharge rates, extraction rates, and water 
        table levels at the local and regional levels on an ongoing 
        basis.
    (b) Purposes.--To promote groundwater conservation on the Southern 
High Plains in order to extend the usable life of the Southern Ogallala 
Aquifer.

 SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    For purposes of this Act:
            (1) High plains aquifer.--The term ``High Plains Aquifer'' 
        means the groundwater reserve depicted as Figure 1 in the 
        United States Geological Survey Professional Paper 1400-B,

SEC. 4. HYDROLOGIC MAPPING, MODELING, AND MONITORING PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of the Interior, working though the 
United States Geological Survey, shall develop a comprehensive 
hydrologic mapping, modeling, and monitoring program for the Southern 
Ogallala Aquifer. The program shall include on a county-by-county 
basis--
            (1) a map of the hydrological configuration of the Aquifer; 
        and
            (2) an analysis of--
                    (A) the current and past rate at which groundwater 
                is being withdrawn and recharged, and the net rate of 
                decrease or increase in aquifer storage;
                    (B) the factors controlling the rate of horizontal 
                migration of water within the Aquifer;
                    (C) the degree to which aquifer compaction caused 
                by pumping and recharge methods in impacting the 
                storage and recharge capacity of the groundwater body; 
                and
                    (D) the current and past rate of loss of saturated 
                thickness within the Aquifer.

political subdivisions recognized under State law, for the development 
of comprehensive groundwater conservation plans within the Southern 
High Plains. This assistance shall be provided on a cost-share basis 
ensuring that--
            (1) the Federal funding for the development of any given 
        plan shall not exceed 50 percent of the cost; and
            (2) the Federal funding for groundwater water conservation 
        planning for any one county, conservation district, or similar 
        political subdivision recognized under State law shall not 
        exceed $50,000.
    (c) Certification.--The Secretary shall create a certification 
process for comprehensive groundwater conservation plans developed 
under this program, or developed independently by States, tribes, 
counties, or other political subdivisions recognized under State law. 
To be certified, a plan must--
            (1) cover a sufficient geographic area to provide a benefit 
        to the groundwater resource over at least a 20 year period;
            (2) include a set of goals for water conservation; and
            (3) include a process for an annual evaluation of the 
        plan's implementation to allow for modifications if goals are 
        not being met.

SEC. 6. IMPLEMENTATION ASSISTANCE.

    (a) In General.--Farming operations within jurisdictions which have 
a certified conservation plan in accordance with section 5(c) shall be 
eligible assistance for projects described in subsection (b).
    (b) Eligible Projects.--Projects eligible for assistance under 
subsection (a) are as follows:
            (1) Water conservation cost-share assistance.--The 
        Secretary, working through the Natural Resources Conservation 
        Service, may provide grants to individual farming operations of 
        up to $50,000 for implementing on farm water conservation 
        measures including the improvement of irrigation systems and 
        the purchase of new equipment. The Federal share of the water 
        conservation investment in any one operation be no greater than 
        50 percent.
            (2) Irrigated land reserve.--Through the 2020 calendar 
        year, the Secretary shall formulate and carry out the 
        enrollment of lands in a groundwater conservation reserve 
        program through the use of multiple year contracts for 
        irrigated lands which would result in significant per acre 
        savings of groundwater resources if converted to dryland 
        agriculture.
            (3) Conservation reserve program enhancement.--Lands 
        eligible for the Conservation Reserve Program established under 
        section 1231 of the Food Security Act of 1985 which would 
        result in significant per acre savings of groundwater resources
