SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Availability and affordability of quality child care is 
        a major obstacle for working parents who struggle to remain 
        self-sufficient.
                    (A) Compared to all other income groups, the 
                working poor are the least likely to receive assistance 
                with their child care costs.
                    (B) Low-income families spend 24 percent of their 
                household income on child care, whereas middle-income 
                families spend 6 percent of their household income on 
                child care.
                    (C) 38 States have waiting lists for child care for 
                the working poor. Among those States, Georgia has 
                41,000 individuals on its waiting list, Texas has 
                36,000 individuals on its waiting list, and Illinois 
                and Alabama each have 20,000 individuals on their 
                waiting lists.
                    (D) One survey of low-income families on a waiting 
                list for subsidized child care found that of those 
                families paying for child care out of their own funds, 
                71 percent faced serious debt or bankruptcy.
                    (E) Half of the States and the District of 
                Columbia, even before the enactment of the Personal 
                Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act 
                of 1996 (Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105) during the 
                104th Congress, increased the proportion of child care 
                slots or dollars going to families on welfare, rather 
                than to working poor families.
            (2) The Congressional Budget Office estimates that there 
        will be $1,400,000,000 less expenditures of child care funds 
        for working poor families as a result of the States 
        implementing the work requirements imposed under the Personal 
        Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 
        (Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105).
            (3) Important types of child care are not available in 
        certain States including infant care, school-age care, care for 
        children with disabilities and special health care needs, and 
        child care for parents with unconventional or shifting work 
        hours.
                    (A) A 1995 State study by the Comptroller General 
                of the United States found a shortage of child care for 
                infants and children with special needs in inner 
                cities, and a shortage of all types of child care in 
                rural areas.
                    (B) Only one-third of the schools in low-income 
                neighborhoods offer school-age child care, compared 
                with 52 percent of schools in more affluent areas 
                offering such care.
                    (C) Eighth-graders who are left home alone for 11 
                or more hours a week report significantly greater use 
                of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana than eighth-
                graders who are not left home alone.
                    (D) Existing child care arrangements do not 
                accommodate the work schedules of many working women. 
                According to a 1995 statistic published by the 
                Department of Labor, 14,300,000 workers, nearly 1 in 5 
                full-time workers work nonstandard hours, and more than 
                1 in 3 of those workers are women.
                    (E) Only 10 percent of child care centers and 6 
                percent of family day care providers offer child care 
                on weekends. Yet one-third of working mothers with 
                annual incomes below the poverty level and one-quarter 
                of mothers with annual incomes above the poverty level 
                but below $25,000 work on weekends.
                    (F) Less than 30 percent of Head Start programs 
                operate on a full-time, full-year basis.

            ``(1) The Holocaust was a historical event that resulted in 
        the systemic, state-sponsored, mass murders by Nazi Germany of 
        6,000,000 Jews, along with millions of others, in the name of 
        racial purity.
            ``(2) Eight States (California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, 
        Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island) now mandate 
        that the Holocaust be taught in the educational curriculum, and 
        12 States (Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, 
        Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, 
        Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia) recommend teaching 
        the Holocaust but the funds necessary to carry out those 
        recommendations may not be available.
            ``(3) The Holocaust is a sensitive and difficult subject to 
        teach effectively, and educators need appropriate teaching 
        tools and training to increase their knowledge of the Holocaust 
        and enhance the educational experience.
    ``(b) Statement of Purpose.--It is the purpose of this subpart--
            ``(1) to educate students in the United States so that 
        they--
                    ``(A) may explore the lessons that the Holocaust 
                provides for all people; and
                    ``(B) may be less susceptible to the falsehood of 
                Holocaust denial and to the destructive messages of 
                hate that arise from Holocaust denial; and
            ``(2) to provide resources and support for educational 
        programs that--
                    ``(A) portray accurate historical information about 
                the Holocaust;
                    ``(B) sensitize communities to the circumstances 
                that gave rise to the Holocaust;
                    ``(C) convey the lessons that the Holocaust 
                provides for all people; and
                    ``(D) develop curriculum guides and provide 
                training to help teachers incorporate the study of the 
                Holocaust and its lessons into mainstream disciplines.

corporations, foundations and other donors for the purpose of funding 
the activities under this subpart. A donation may not be accepted in 
exchange for a commitment to the donor on the part of the Secretary or 
which attaches conditions inconsistent with applicable laws and 
regulations or that is conditioned upon or will require the expenditure 
of appropriated funds that are not available to the Department, or 
which compromises a criminal or civil position of the United States or 
any of its departments or agencies or the administrative authority of 
any agency of the United States. The Secretary shall ensure that such 
contract contains provisions setting forth the criteria to be used in 
determining whether the solicitation or acceptance of a donation is 
prohibited because the donation would reflect unfavorably upon the 
ability of the Department, or any official or employee of the 
Department, to carry out its responsibilities or official duties in a 
fair and objective manner, or would compromise the integrity or the 
appearance of the integrity of its programs or any official or employee 
involved in those programs.
    ``(c) Use of Funds.--The Secretary is authorized to accept 
donations of money from the nonprofit described in subsection (b). Such 
funds shall be deposited in a special fund established in the Treasury

        available to the educational organization to carry out the 
        Holocaust education program for which the grant was provided.

agencies or local educational agencies in applying for and using grants

subpart in accordance with competitive criteria to be established by 
the Secretary.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Equitable 
Compensation Amendments Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin program, authorized 
        by section 9 of the Act of December 22, 1944 (commonly known as 
        the ``Flood Control Act of 1944'') (58 Stat. 891), was intended 
        to promote the general economic development of the United 
        States;
            (2) the Oahe Dam and Reservoir Project--
                    (A) is a major component of the Pick-Sloan Missouri 
                River Basin program; and
                    (B) contributes to the national economy;
            (3) the Oahe Dam and Reservoir Project flooded the fertile 
        bottom land of the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, which 
        greatly damaged the economy and cultural resources of the 
        Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and caused the loss of many homes 
        and communities of members of the Tribe;
            (4) Congress has provided compensation to several Indian 
        tribes, including the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, that border 
        the Missouri River and suffered injury as a result of 1 or more 
        of the Pick-Sloan projects;
            (5) on determining that the compensation paid to the 
        Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe was inadequate, Congress enacted the 
        Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Equitable Compensation Act (Public 
        Law 106-511; 114 Stat. 2365), which created the Cheyenne River 
        Sioux Tribal Recovery Trust Fund; and
            (6) that Act did not provide for additional compensation to 
        members of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe that lost land as a 
        result of the Oahe Dam and Reservoir Project.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to provide that the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal 
        Recovery Trust Fund may be used to provide compensation to 
        members of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe that lost land as a 
        result of the Oahe Dam and Reservoir Project; and
            (2) to provide for the capitalization of the Cheyenne River 
        Sioux Tribal Recovery Trust Fund.

SEC. 3. CHEYENNE RIVER SIOUX TRIBE EQUITABLE COMPENSATION.

    (a) Findings and Purposes.--Section 102 of the Cheyenne River Sioux 
Tribe Equitable Compensation Act (Public Law 106-511; 114 Stat. 2365)

                Dam and Reservation project, under which the United 
                States acquired 104,492 acres of land of the Tribe and 
                member landowners; and
                    ``(B) the Tribe and member landowners should be 
                adequately compensated for that land;''; and

        landowners'' after ``Tribe'' each place it appears.
    (b) Definitions.--Section 103 of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe 
Equitable Compensation Act (Public Law 106-511; 114 Stat. 2365) is

        moving the paragraph so as to appear after paragraph (2); and
            (2) by inserting before paragraph (2) the following:

        a member of the Tribe (or an heir of such a member) that owned 
        land (including land allotted under the Act of February 8, 1887 
        (24 Stat. 388, chapter 119)) located on the Cheyenne River

Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Equitable Compensation Amendments Act of 2006 - Amends the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Equitable Compensation Act to make member landowners eligible for the additional financial compensation provided to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe for the acquisition by the federal government of 104,492 acres of land of the Tribe and member landowners for the Oahe Dam and Reservoir project. Defines member landowner as a member of the Tribe (or an heir of such a member) that owned land on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation that was acquired by the United States for the Oahe Dam and Reservoir Project of the Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin program.

Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to make five annual deposits into the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Recovery Trust Fund of: (1) $58,144,591.60; and (2) an additional amount equal to the interest that would have accrued under certain circumstances.

Directs the Secretary to invest the Fund only in interest-bearing obligations of the United States according to specified requirements, including separate investments of principal and interest from two separate accounts within the Tribal Recovery Trust Fund.

Authorizes the plan prepared for the use of payments to the Tribe to provide for payment of additional compensation to member landowners; except that payments of additional compensation shall not be deposited or transferred into any member landowner's Individual Indian Money account, and shall not exceed an amount equal to 44.3% of the amount transferred by the Secretary of the Interior to the Tribe.

Requires the Secretary of the Interior to assist the Tribe in claims processing by providing any record requested to identify the heirs of member landowners within 90 days after receiving a request.

Declares that, upon deposit of the final payment into the Fund, all claims that the Tribe has or may have against the United States for the taking of tribal land or property for the Project shall be extinguished.
