SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Park Centennial Act of 
2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds:
            (1) The National Park Service was established to conserve 
        the national parks, their scenery, natural and historic 
        objects, and wildlife for the enjoyment, in such manner and by 
        such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of 
        future generations.
            (2) The central purpose of the establishment of our 
        national parks is being challenged by chronic funding 
        shortfalls, which have created annual shortfalls in operational 
        funding that exceed $600,000,000, and have amassed a 
        maintenance backlog estimated by the General Accounting Office 
        at between $4,080,000,000 and $6,800,000,000.
            (3) Without providing the Park Service the resources 
        necessary to operate and maintain our national parks, future 
        generations will receive diminished visitor services, will 
        experience a continually weakening system that is less and less 
        able to fulfill its mission, and will inherit a national park 
        system than has been left to them in worse condition that it 
        was left to their ancestors.
            (4) The annual appropriations process has proved incapable 
        of fully addressing the debilitating funding shortfalls of the 
        national parks, making it necessary to supplement what the 
        appropriations process is able to accomplish.
            (5) It is necessary to ensure that fiscal resources devoted 
        to the national parks are spent wisely and effectively, making 
        strong congressional oversight over annual appropriations 
        extremely important.
            (6) Congress can enhance the resources available for 
        national park operations and ensure adequate oversight over 
        Park Service spending by removing from the appropriations 
        process a series of funding responsibilities that are outside 
        the core operating budgets for the national parks.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to eliminate the annual 
operating deficit and the maintenance backlog in the national parks by 
the centennial anniversary of the National Park System by enabling 
Congress to focus on overseeing and fully funding the core operations 
of the national parks in the annual appropriations process.

question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``South African Democratic Transition 
Support Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) After decades of apartheid, South Africa has entered a 
        new era which presents a historic opportunity for a transition 
        to a peaceful, stable, and democratic future.
            (2) Through broad and open negotiations, the parties in 
        South Africa have reached a landmark agreement on the future of 
        their country. This agreement includes the establishment of a 
        Transitional Executive Council and the setting of a date for 
        nonracial elections.
            (3) The international community has a vital interest in 
        supporting the transition from apartheid toward nonracial 
        democracy.
            (4) The success of the transition in South Africa is 
        crucial to the stability and economic development of the 
        southern African region.
            (5) Representative leaders in South Africa, including 
        Nelson Mandela of the African National Congress, have called 
        for an end to all remaining measures limiting economic contacts 
        with South Africa.
            (6) In light of recent developments, the continuation of 
        such measures is detrimental to persons disadvantaged by 
        apartheid.

SEC. 3. UNITED STATES POLICY.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the United States should--
                    (A) strongly support the Transitional Executive 
                Council in South Africa,
                    (B) encourage rapid progress toward the 
                establishment of a nonracial democratic government in 
                South Africa, and
                    (C) support a consolidation of democracy in South 
                Africa through democratic elections for an interim 
                government and a new nonracial constitution;
            (2) the United States should continue to provide assistance 
        to support the transition to a nonracial democracy in South 
        Africa, and should urge international financial institutions 
        and other donors to also provide such assistance;
            (3) to the maximum extent practicable, the United States 
        should consult closely with international financial 
        institutions, other donors, and South African entities on a
