Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``9/11 Can You Hear Me Now Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) After two terrorist attacks it is time to fix the 
        communications system for the New York City Fire Department.
            (2) During its response to the 1993 bombing of the World 
        Trade Center in New York City, the New York City Fire 
        Department's radios did not work in the twin towers of the 
        World Trade Center. The resulting lack of communication 
        complicated operations but did not result in the death of any 
        firefighter.
            (3) Eight years later, on September 11, 2001, the World 
        Trade Center was attacked again and the fire department's radio 
        system failed again.
            (4) Soon before the collapse of Tower One of the World 
        Trade Center, fire department officials tried in vain to radio 
        firefighters to evacuate the building.
            (5) The firefighters' radio system failed the firefighters 
        in Tower One and as a result many were not able to receive this 
        warning. The failure of the radio system was largely 
        responsible for the death of many of the 343 firefighters who 
        died in the collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers.
            (6) Since September 11, 2001, the fire department has taken 
        steps to improve the communications system that failed them. 
        However, many tall buildings in New York City have not 
        installed repeaters that are needed to boost signals, and the 
        signals are often lost in high-rise buildings and underground.
            (7) In August 2003, New York City experienced a blackout. 
        During the blackout the fire department's radio system was 
        again found not to work reliably during emergency situations or 
        in high buildings.
            (8) The dispatch system currently used by the New York City 
        Fire Department was acquired in the early 1970s and hampers the 
        ability of the department to fully communicate with its 
        firefighters and provide appropriate detailed information about 
        the buildings and locations to which they respond.
            (9) Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, 
        executive branch officials have repeatedly warned that future 
        terror attacks are not a matter of if, but when. The Secretary 
        of Homeland Security has identified New York City as one of the 
        main terrorist targets.
            (10) With New York City remaining a top terrorist target, 
        such communications system should be a national priority.
            (11) A new state-of-the-art communications system and 
        upgrades to the critical information dispatch system for the 
        New York City Fire Department should be--
                    (A) seamless from the receipt of a 911 call to the 
                dispatch of the firefighter; and
                    (B) interoperable with other public safety offices 
                within the City of New York.

SEC. 3. REQUIREMENT TO PROCURE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR NEW YORK CITY 
              FIRE DEPARTMENT.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, by not 
later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, procure 
development and provision of a communications system for the New York

department and upgrades to the critical information dispatch system of 
the department.
    (b) Requirements.--
            (1) Radios.--Radios procured pursuant to this section must 
        be capable of operating in all locations, and under all 
        conditions, in which firefighters can reasonably be expected to 
        work in responding to an emergency in New York City.
            (2) Supplemental communication device.--Any communications 
        system procured pursuant to this section must include provision 
        to each firefighter of a supplemental radio communication

                radio emergency notification warning signals to other 
                firefighters whenever the firefighter is in distress 
                and in immediate need of assistance; and
                    (B) has the capability to operate automatically in 
                a passive mode by transmitting audio and radio messages 
                that will relay the firefighter's identification and 
                location if the firefighter--
                            (i) becomes incapacitated and motionless; 
                        and

                expected to work in responding to an emergency in New 
                York City, including all high-rise buildings and 
                subways;
                    (B) provide useful, detailed data concerning all 
                likely terrorist target locations in the City of New 
                York; and
                    (C) be capable of providing to responding 
                firefighters, instantaneously, details about particular 
                buildings and other locations to assist them in making 
                decisions about how to mitigate a terrorist attack and 
                save lives and property.
    (c) Testing.--Radios, any dispatch system upgrades, and 
supplemental communication devices procured pursuant to this section 
must have been tested to ensure they will operate in all locations and 
under all conditions in which firefighters can reasonably be expected

Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Restore Fiscal Discipline and 
Safeguard Social Security Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) When Congress enacted the fiscal year 2002 budget 
        resolution, it did so based on the assurance that the 
        Government would balance the budget without relying on social 
        security surpluses for the remainder of the decade and beyond. 
        Congress was also assured that it would not have to act to 
        increase the statutory debt limit until 2008.
            (2) The Government is projected to run on-budget deficits 
        that will require it to spend the social security and medicare 
        trust fund surpluses for the rest of the decade, even before 
        additional spending for defense and homeland security is 
        counted, and after the economy recovers and returns to strong 
        growth.
            (3) The total debt is increasing because we have not kept 
        the commitment to save the social security and medicare trust 
        fund surpluses. The Secretary of the Treasury has formally 
        requested that Congress increase the statutory limit on the 
        public debt by $750 billion, from the current level of $5.95 
        trillion to $6.70 trillion. Congress will have to vote to raise 
        the debt limit because we have been borrowing those trust fund 
        surpluses to cover a deficit in the rest of the budget instead 
        of saving them.
            (4) A $750 billion increase in the debt limit would be the 
        second largest increase in history and is irresponsible in the 
        absence of a framework to protect taxpayers from even further 
        increases in the national debt.
            (5) Congress should authorize a limited increase in the 
        debt limit to prevent a financial default, but should also work 
        together with the President to develop a plan to restore fiscal 
        discipline before further increasing our debt.
            (6) Current law provides for enforcement of budget 
        resolutions:
                    (A) Legislation violating discretionary spending 
                totals set in a budget resolution or the suballocations 
                set by the Committee on Appropriations is subject to a 
                point of order under section 302(f) of the 
                Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
                    (B) Legislation reducing receipts below a budget 
                resolution's total is subject to a point of order under 
                section 311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is--
            (1) to provide a responsible, measured increase in the debt 
        limit to ensure that the Government meets its current legal 
        obligations;
            (2) effective immediately thereafter, to limit strictly the 
        size of further increases in the debt limit until the enactment 
        of a plan to bring the budget into balance in five years 
        without reliance on the social security trust fund surplus, 
        such that any larger increase in the debt limit this fall would 
        require a plan to balance the budget in fiscal year 2007, but 
        if this deficit reduction should prove insufficient, the 
        restrictions are automatically reestablished by the next 
        regular semi-annual report of the Congressional Budget Office;
            (3) to require that the President submit a budget plan 
        before the end of this fiscal year to achieve balance, without 
        reliance on the social security trust fund surplus, by fiscal 
        year 2007;
            (4) as a backup and discipline for these debt limit 
        provisions, to establish points of order against any budget 
        resolution that does not within five years and in all 
        subsequent years eliminate any deficits projected by the 
        Congressional Budget Office, without reliance on the social 
        security trust fund surplus, using the enforcement provisions 
        in current law to require that all subsequent spending and tax 
legislation conform to the budget resolution's deficit-reduction plan; 
and
            (5) thereby to restore fiscal discipline and to preserve 
        social security for future retirees.

    (b) Point of Order.--(1) Effective immediately, except as provided 
by paragraph (2) or (3), it shall not be in order in the House of 
Representatives or the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, 
amendment, or conference report that includes any provision that 
increases the limit on the public debt above the limit set forth in 
section 3101(b) of title 31, United States Code, as in effect 
immediately before the date of consideration of that measure by more 
than $100,000,000,000.
    (2) Except as provided by paragraph (3), any bill or joint 
resolution may carry an increase in such limit of more than 
$100,000,000,000 only if the concurrent resolution on the budget for 
the budget year has been adopted and--
            (A) sets forth or assumes a budget that is in on-budget 
        balance or surplus within 4 fiscal years after the budget year 
        and is in on-budget balance or surplus for every subsequent 
        fiscal year covered by that resolution; and
            (B) does not contain any reduction in social security 
        benefits.
    (3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply in the House of 
Representatives or the Senate if the chairman of the Committee on the 
Budget of the House or of the Senate, as applicable, certifies, based 
on the report of the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 
202(e)(1) or (2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, whichever 
report is the most recent, that the budget will be in on-budget balance 
or surplus within 4 fiscal years after the budget year and is in on-
budget balance or surplus for every subsequent fiscal year covered by 
that report. If legislation to extend the discretionary spending limits 
beyond fiscal year 2002 is enacted before the date of release of such 
report, the Congressional Budget Office shall assume such discretionary 
spending levels. Any such certification shall only have force and 
effect until the date of submission of the next report under either 
such section.

    (a) Presidential Plan.--The President shall submit to the Congress 
by September 30, 2002, a proposal to bring the budget of the Government

and technical assumptions of the Congressional Budget Office.

          TITLE II--CIRCUIT BREAKER TO PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY

SEC. 201. CIRCUIT BREAKER TO PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY.

    (a) Circuit Breaker Points of Order.--(1) Effective January 1, 
2003, whenever the most recent report of the Congressional Budget 
Office pursuant to section 202(e)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of

in order in the House of Representatives or the Senate to consider any 
concurrent resolution on the budget that--

        balance or surplus within 4 fiscal years after the budget year 
        and is not in on-budget balance or surplus for any subsequent 
        fiscal year covered by that resolution; or
            (C) contains any reduction in social security benefits.
    (2) Effective January 1, 2003, whenever the most recent report of 
the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 202(e)(1) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 projects both on-budget surpluses (or

report, it shall not be in order in the House of Representatives or the 
Senate to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget that--
            (A) sets forth or assumes an on-budget deficit for any 
        fiscal year for which such Congressional Budget Office 
        projection for that fiscal year is for an on-budget surplus or 
        balance; or
            (B) contains any reduction in social security benefits.
    (b) Suspension of Requirement During War or Low Economic Growth.--
            (1) Low growth.--If the most recent of the Department of 
        Commerce's advance, preliminary, or final reports of actual 
        real economic growth indicate that the rate of real economic 
        growth (as measured by real GDP) for each of the most recently 
        reported quarter and the immediately preceding quarter is less 
        than 1 percent, this section is suspended.
            (2) War.--If a declaration of war is in effect, this 
        section is suspended.

    corrective action by the National Credit Union Administration for 
    both insured credit unions and corporate credit unions; and
        (4) examine whether the National Credit Union Administration 
    has effectively implemented each of the recommendations by the

Answer:
Amends the Federal Credit Union Act regarding repayment to the Treasury of advances to the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund (Stabilization Fund) for payments connected to the conservatorship, liquidation, or threatened conservatorship or liquidation, of a corporate credit union.

Revises requirements for assessments on federally insured credit unions by the National Credit Union Administration Board to ensure that the Stabilization Fund will have sufficient funds to make scheduled repayments to the Treasury. Authorizes the Board to assess a special premium on each insured credit union in an aggregate amount reasonably calculated to make any pending or future expenditure from the Stabilization Fund. Makes the premium due and payable by 60 days after the assessment date. Requires the Board, in setting the amount of any such assessment, to take into consideration any potential impact on credit union earnings that such an assessment may have.

Requires calculation of the equity ratio of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Insurance Fund), for timing and assessment of premium charges, to use the financial statements of the Insurance Fund alone, without any consolidation or combination with the financial statements of any other fund or entity.

Revises the definition of net worth with respect to any insured credit union to include, at Board discretion, and subject to Board rules and regulations, special assistance to an insured credit union to avoid liquidation that is provided to facilitate a least-cost resolution consistent with the best interests of the credit union system.

Directs the Comptroller General to study and report to Congress and the Financial Stability Oversight Council on the supervision of corporate credit unions and implementation of prompt corrective action by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Requires the Council to report to Congress within six months after receiving the Comptroller General's report on any actions taken in response to it, including any recommendations issued to NCUA under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to apply new or heightened standards and safeguards to insured credit unions for financial stability purposes.
