Infrastructure Improvements Act of 2000''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Applications for naturalization have increased 
        dramatically in recent years, outpacing the Immigration and 
        Naturalization Service's ability to process them.
            (2) The dramatic increase in applications for 
        naturalization and the inability of the Immigration and 
        Naturalization Service to deal with them adequately has 
        resulted in an unacceptably large backlog in naturalization 
        adjudications.
            (3) The processing times in the Immigration and 
        Naturalization Service's other immigration benefits have been 
        unacceptably long. Applicants for family- and employment-based 
        visas are waiting as long as 3 to 4 years to obtain a visa or 
        an adjustment to lawful permanent resident status.
            (4) In California, the delays in processing adjustment of 
        status applications have averaged 52 months. In Texas, the 
        delays have averaged 69 months. Residents of New York have had 
        to wait up to 28 months; in Florida, 26 months; in Illinois, 37 
        months; in Oregon, 31 months; and in Arizona, 49 months. Most 
        other States have experienced unacceptably long processing and 
        adjudication delays.
            (5) Applicants pay fees to have their applications 
        adjudicated in a timely manner. These fees have increased 
        dramatically in recent years without a commensurate increase in 
        the capability of that Immigration and Naturalization Service 
        to process and adjudicate these cases in an efficient manner.
            (6) Processing these applications in a timely fashion is 
        critical. Each 12-month delay in adjudicating an adjustment of 
        status application requires the alien to file applications to 
        extend employment authorization to work and advance parole 
        documents to travel.
            (7) The enormous delays in processing applications for 
        families and businesses have had a negative impact on the 
        reunification of spouses and minor children and the ability of 
        law-abiding and contributing members of our communities to 
        participate fully in the civic life of the United States.
            (8) United States employers have also experienced 
        debilitating delays in hiring employees who contribute to the 
        economic growth of the United States. These delays have forced 
        employers to send highly skilled and valued employees out of 
        the United States because their immigrant petitions were not 
        approved in a timely fashion. Such disruptions seriously 
        threaten the competitive edge of the United States in the 
        global marketplace.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to--
            (1) provide the Immigration and Naturalization Service with 
        the mechanisms it needs to eliminate the current backlog in the 
        processing of immigration benefit applications within 1 year 
        after enactment of this Act and to maintain the elimination of 
        the backlog in future years; and
            (2) provide for regular congressional oversight of the 
        performance of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in 
        eliminating the backlog and processing delays in immigration 
        benefits adjudications.
    (c) Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that the processing of an 
immigration benefit application should be completed not later than 180 
days after the initial filing of the application, except that a 
petition for a nonimmigrant visa under section 214(c) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act should be processed not later than 30 
days after the filing of the petition.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) Backlog.--The term ``backlog'' means, with respect to 
        an immigration benefit application, the period of time in 
        excess of 180 days that such application has been pending 
        before the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
            (2) Immigration benefit application.--The term 
        ``immigration benefit application'' means any application or 
        petition to confer, certify, change, adjust, or extend any 
        status granted under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

SEC. 4. IMMIGRATION SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT ACCOUNT.

    (a) Authority of the Attorney General.--The Attorney General shall 
take such measures as may be necessary to--
            (1) reduce the backlog in the processing of immigration 
        benefit applications, with the objective of the total 
        elimination of the backlog not later than one year after the 
        date of enactment of this Act;
            (2) make such other improvements in the processing of 
        immigration benefit applications as may be necessary to ensure 
        that a backlog does not develop after such date; and
            (3) make such improvements in infrastructure as may be 
        necessary to effectively provide immigration services.
    (b) Authorization of Appropriations.--
            (1) In general.--There is authorized to be appropriated to 
        the Department of Justice from time to time such sums as may be 
        necessary for the Attorney General to carry out subsection (a).
            (2) Designation of account in treasury.--Amounts 
        appropriated pursuant to paragraph (1) may be referred to as 
        the ``Immigration Services and Infrastructure Improvements 
        Account''.
            (3) Availability of funds.--Amounts appropriated pursuant 
        to paragraph (1) are authorized to remain available until 
        expended.
            (4) Limitation on expenditures.--None of the funds 
        appropriated pursuant to paragraph (1) may be expended until 
        the report described in section 5(a) has been submitted to 
        Congress.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Alcohol is by far the drug most widely used and abused 
        by young people in the United States today, even though it is 
        illegal for youths under age 21 to purchase alcohol in all 50 
        of the States and the District of Columbia.
            (2) According to the 1992 National Institute on Drug Abuse 
        survey of high school students and young adults, 89.5 percent 
        of high school seniors in the class of 1990 had used alcohol at 
        least once and 30 percent had experienced a ``binge'' of 5 or 
        more drinks in a row within the past 2 weeks. Among college 
        students, 43 percent reported occasions of ``binge'' drinking, 
        including 35 percent of the females and 52 percent of the 
        males.
            (3) The average age at which young people begin drinking is 
        13. By age 13, approximately 30 percent of boys and 22 percent 
        of girls classify themselves as drinkers. According to the 1988 
        National High School Senior Survey, 17 percent of high school 
        seniors reported having been drunk by eighth grade, 37 percent 
        by ninth grade, 54 percent by tenth grade, and 71 percent by 
        twelfth grade. Studies demonstrate that the use of alcohol by 
        individuals before the age of 15 appears to be one of the 
        predictors of later heavy alcohol and other drug use by the 
        individuals.
            (4) Young people are not well informed about the hazards of 
        alcohol use. Only 43 percent of high school seniors believe 
        there is great risk of harm from drinking activities such as 
        binge drinking once or twice each weekend. More than one 
        quarter of high school seniors do not view heavy, regular daily 
        (``binge'') drinking as entailing great risk. More than 40 
        percent of 8th graders, 45 percent of 10th graders, and 51 
        percent of 12th graders do not perceive having 5 or more drinks 
        once or twice a weekend as entailing a great risk.
            (5) According to the Department of Health and Human 
        Services, sponsorships and promotions on college campuses by 
        alcohol producers and the use of celebrities and youth-oriented 
        musical groups in advertising create a pro-drinking 
        environment.
            (6) Treatment costs for fetal alcohol syndrome (referred to 
        in this section as ``FAS'') and other alcohol-related birth 
        defects in the United States are estimated at nearly a third of 
        a billion dollars. FAS is one of the top 3 known causes of 
        birth defects with accompanying mental retardation and the only 
        known preventable cause among the top three. Among children 
        born to women who drink heavily, the incidence of FAS may be as 
        high as 25 per 1,000 live births. Among children born to other 
        women, the FAS incidence is between 1 to 3 infants with the 
        syndrome per 1,000 live births. The incidence of other alcohol-
        related birth defects is estimated to be 3 times greater than 
        that of FAS.
            (7) According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse 
        and Alcoholism, an estimated 18,000,000 persons in the United 
        States who are 18 or older currently experience problems as a 
        result of alcohol use. An estimated 4,500,000 young people are 
        dependent on alcohol or are problem drinkers.
            (8) According to Healthy People 2000, the National Health 
        Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives--
                    (A) nearly one-half of all deaths from motor 
                vehicle crashes are alcohol-related;
                    (B) alcohol is implicated in nearly one-half of all 
                fatal intentional injuries such as suicides and 
                homicides; and
                    (C) victims are intoxicated in approximately one-
                third of all homicides, drownings, and boating deaths.
            (9) An estimated 25 percent of all hospitalized persons 
        have alcohol-related problems.
            (10) Alcohol advertising, especially in the broadcast 
        media, represents the single greatest source of alcohol 
        education for persons in the United States. According to a 1990 
        study of 10- to 13-year-olds, funded by the American Automobile 
        Association Foundation for Traffic Safety, there is a 
        relationship between exposure and attention by an individual to 
        beer advertising, and expectations that the individual drink as 
        an adult.
            (11) A major 1981 federally funded study found a 
        significant relationship between--
                    (A) exposure of individuals to alcoholic beverage 
                advertising as youth; and
                    (B) drinking behaviors and attitudes of the 
                individuals that can lead to certain forms of problem 
                drinking.
            (12) Over 80 percent of 2,000 adults surveyed in 1988 for 
        the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms by the Opinion 
        Research Corporation believe that alcohol advertising 
        influences underage youth to drink alcoholic beverages. The 
        survey also found that the general public feels that the young 
        people of the United States constitute the group that is most 
        at risk from drinking alcoholic beverages.
            (13) The alcoholic beverage industry spends approximately 
        $2,000,000,000 each year on advertising and promotions in the 
        United States.
            (14) The 1988 Surgeon General's Workshop on Drunk Driving 
        has recommended--
                    (A) that the level of alcoholic beverage 
                advertising be matched with an equal number of pro-
                health and pro-safety messages; and
                    (B) the inclusion of health warning messages in all 
                alcohol advertising.
            (15) The National Commission on Drug-Free Schools' 
        September 1990 Final Report, ``Toward a Drug-Free Generation: A 
        Nation's Responsibility'', recommends that Congress--
                    (A) require additional health and safety messages 
                on all alcohol products and advertising for the 
                products; and
                    (B) consider enacting a ban on advertising and 
                promotion of alcohol if alcohol advertising still 
                targets youth and glamorizes alcohol use.
            (16) Over two-thirds of persons surveyed in a 1989 Wall 
        Street Journal poll favor requiring warnings about the dangers 
        of drinking both on alcoholic beverage containers and in 
        alcohol advertisements. Nearly three-fourths of persons 
        surveyed in a 1990 Gallup Poll favor requiring health warning 
        messages in alcohol advertising.
            (17) Alcohol in combination with other drugs is the leading 
        cause of emergency room drug abuse episodes.
            (18) According to the Inspector General of the Department 
        of Health and Human Services, the average binge drinker is a 16 
        year old male in the 10th grade who was 12 years old when he 
        took his first drink.
            (19) A third of all students do not understand the 
        intoxicating effects of alcohol. More than 2.6 million do not 
        know a person can die from an overdose of alcohol. A projected 
        259,000 students think that wine coolers or beer cannot get a 
        person drunk, cannot make a person sick, or cannot do as much 
        harm as other alcoholic beverages.
            (20) In 1989, chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis, 
        was the 9th leading cause of death in the United States. Of 
        41,000 deaths attributed to liver disease in the United States, 
        46 percent diagnostically were associated with alcohol. Heavy 
        alcohol use is considered the most important risk factor for 
        chronic liver disease. Even among liver disease deaths not 
        coded as alcohol-related, approximately 50 percent are thought 
        to be due to alcohol use.
            (21) Between 5 and 24 percent of hypertension cases are 
        associated with alcohol. Many cases diagnosed as essential 
        hypertension (high blood pressure having no known causes) may 
        actually have chronic alcohol ingestion as their cause.
            (22) Alcohol abuse is strongly associated with increased 
        risk of certain kinds of cancer, especially cancer of the 
        liver, esophagus, nasopharynx, and larynx. Alcohol is also 
        associated with dietary deficiency that may increase cancer 
        risk.
