            (1) The number of Americans over age 65 or living with a 
        disability is growing, and over 70 percent of these individuals 
        will need some form of long-term services and supports, with a 
        majority of individuals preferring home and community-based 
        care.
            (2) This is a major demographic shift and provides an 
        opportunity for innovative solutions in long-term services and 
        supports.
            (3) Developing programs to facilitate high-quality 
        independent community-based living, create and improve jobs, 
        and address and improve upon gaps in existing systems will be 
        essential to providing necessary services and supports to these 
        individuals and families.
            (4) It is imperative that Congress act to address the 
        looming long-term services and supports crisis.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

provide incentives to States for the development of solutions to the

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and 
        the subsequent introduction of weapons grade anthrax into the 
        United States Postal System and Congressional office buildings 
        in Washington, D.C., the President and the Congress have worked 
        closely to respond to the need to rebuild and strengthen the 
        nation's public health, national security, and emergency 
        response systems.
            (2) Based on Article I, section 8 of the United States 
        Constitution, treaties, Federal statutes, and court decisions, 
        the United States has a unique historical and legal 
        relationship with American Indian and Alaska Native people, 
        which serves as the basis for the Federal Government's trust 
        responsibility and obligations. There are currently 558 
        federally-recognized Indian tribes in the United States, with 
        some 40 percent of Indian tribes located in the State of 
        Alaska. Indian tribes have principle responsibility for lands 
        and people within their jurisdiction.
            (3) Despite the government-to-government relationship 
        between Indian tribes and the United States, the United States 
        has failed to include and consult with Indian tribes with 
        regard to homeland security prevention, protection, and 
        response activities planning. Moreover, there are no specific 
        provisions for the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Indian 
        Health Service to participate in homeland security programs and 
        funding.
            (4) Throughout many areas of the United States, facilities 
        operated, and services, activities and government functions 
        carried out, by Indian tribes, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 
        the Indian Health Service are the only sources available to 
        provide emergency health services, disaster response, and law 
        enforcement to the tribal and non-tribal community, thus 
        serving the role as ``first responders'' in the event of a 
        terrorist attack.
            (5) To provide for the public health and safety on tribal 
        lands and in the surrounding communities, it is imperative to 
        establish tribal participation in homeland security 
        initiatives. Indian tribes must be included in the national 
        strategy for homeland security and receive an appropriate share 
        of related funding.
            (6) The treatment of Indian tribes as State governments, as 
        appropriate, for developing funding methodologies, planning, 
        consultation, coordination, and for eligibility for grant 
        monies will ensure Indian tribes are adequately prepared to 
        respond to Homeland Security threats.
            (7) Indian tribes shall be treated as State, as 
        appropriate, for purposes of planning, consultation, 
        coordination, eligibility for grant monies and other purposes 
        to improve the United States capacity to prepare, prevent and 
        respond to terrorist activities.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To establish within the Department of Homeland Security 
        an office known as the Office of Tribal Government Homeland 
        Security.
            (2) To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to 
        appoint, in consultation with Indian tribes, a Director of 
        Tribal Government Homeland Security.
            (3) To provide for more effective management of, and 
        accountability for the proper discharge of, the Secretary's 
        trust responsibility to Indian tribes and individual American 
        Indians and Alaska Natives by establishing in the Department of 
        Homeland Security an Office of Tribal Government Homeland 
        Security.
            (4) To integrate and coordinate the efforts of the 
        Department of Homeland Security and Indian tribes to prepare 
        for, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from 
        terrorist attacks.
            (5) To provide strategic integration of the Homeland 
        Security activities of Indian tribes that will complement the 
        operational consolidation of the various directorates within 
        the Department.
            (6) To supplement the capacity of the Indian Health Service 
        and the Bureau of Indian Affairs to respond to the homeland 
        security needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, without 
        jeopardizing the nonsecurity missions of the Indian Health 
        Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
            (7) To serve as an information clearinghouse and to enhance 
        the integration and coordination of Indian tribes and in the 
        activities of the Department of Homeland Security.
            (8) To establish an organizational framework within the 
        Department of Homeland Security through which the Federal 
        Government, Indian tribes, and State and local governments can 
        work effectively and collaboratively on public health and 
        safety, terrorism detection, prevention, response, and 
        protection of critical infrastructure.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Combating Methamphetamine Act of 
2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Methamphetamine (meth) is an extremely dangerous and 
        highly addictive drug.
            (2) Methamphetamine use contributes to the perpetration of 
        violent crimes, particularly burglary, child abuse, and crimes 
        of substantial cost and personal pain to the victims, including 
        identity theft.
            (3) Methamphetamine labs produce hazardous conditions 
        because of their use of chemicals such as anhydrous ammonia, 
        ether, sulfuric acid, and other toxins which are volatile, 
        corrosive and poisonous. When these substances are illegally 
        disposed of in rivers, streams, and other dump areas, 
        explosions and serious environmental damage can and does 
        result.
            (4) Since 2001, Federal funding was provided through the 
        Department of Justice COPS and Byrne Grant programs to address 
        methamphetamine enforcement and clean up. Since 2002, although 
        the methamphetamine problem has been growing and spreading 
        across the United States affecting more States each year, 
        funding has been cut each successive year, from $70,500,000 in 
        2002, to only $54,000,000 in 2004.
            (5) As methamphetamine has impacted more States each year, 
        the dwindling Federal funds have been parsed into smaller 
        amounts. Each State deserves greater Federal support and a 
        permanent funding mechanism to combat the challenging problem 
        of methamphetamine abuse.
            (6) Permanent Federal funding support for meth enforcement 
        and clean-up is critical to the efforts of State and local law 
        enforcement to reduce the use, manufacture, and sale of 
        methamphetamine, and thus, reduce the crime rate.
            (7) It is necessary for the Federal Government to establish 
        a long-term commitment to combating methamphetamine use, sale, 
        and manufacture by creating a permanent funding mechanism to 
        assist States.

SEC. 3. COMBATING THE USE OF METHAMPHETAMINE.
