    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.

                    TITLE I--INCREASE IN DEBT LIMIT

SEC. 101. INCREASE IN DEBT LIMIT.

    (a) Increase in Statutory Debt Limit.--Section 3101(b) of title 31, 
United States Code, is amended by striking ``$5,950,000,000,000'' and 
inserting ``$6,100,000,000,000''.
    (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.

SEC. 102. PRESIDENTIAL PLAN TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.

    (a) Presidential Plan.--The President shall submit to the Congress 
by September 30, 2002, a proposal to bring the budget of the Government 
(excluding the receipts and disbursements of the Federal Old-Age and 
Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance 
Trust Fund) into balance or surplus by fiscal year 2007.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the plan 
described in subsection (a) should be based on the most recent economic 
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 
1974 projects an on-budget deficit for any fiscal year, 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 such 
        fiscal year that is larger than such Congressional Budget 
        Office projection for that fiscal year;
            (B) sets forth or assumes a budget that is not in on-budget 
        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 
a balanced budget) and deficits for the fiscal years included in that 
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.

Export Control Reform Act''.

SEC. 2. ANNUAL REVIEW OF CONTROLS ON COMPUTERS.

    Section 4 of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 
2403) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(h) Review of Export Controls on Computer Equipment and 
Technology.--
            ``(1) In general.--In order to ensure that requirements of 
        validated licenses and other licenses authorizing multiple 
        exports are periodically removed as computer equipment, 
        computer communications and networking equipment, computer 
        software, and related technology, that are subject to such 
        requirements become obsolete with respect to the specific 
        objectives of the export controls requiring such licenses, the 
        Secretary shall conduct periodic reviews of such controls. The 
        Secretary shall complete such a review not later than 6 months 
        after the date of the enactment of this subsection, and not 
        later than the end of each 1-year period thereafter.
            ``(2) Review elements.--In conducting each review under 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall do the following with 
        respect to the export controls requiring a license described in 
        paragraph (1):
                    ``(A) Objectives of control.--The Secretary shall 
                identify the specific objectives of the export 
                controls, for the 12-month period beginning on the date 
                on which the review is completed, for each country for 
                which a validated license is required. When an 
                objective of an export control is to defer the 
                development of a specific capability in such country, 
                the Secretary shall specify for what period of time the 
                controls are expected to defer such capability.
                    ``(B) Quantity and performance.--The Secretary 
                shall estimate, for the 12-month period described in 
                subparagraph (A), the quantity and performance 
                (measured in Composite Theoretical Performance or other 
                relevant performance metrics) of computer systems that 
                must be obtained by each country for which a validated 
                license is required in order to defeat the objectives 
                of the export controls.
                    ``(C) Availability to controlled destinations.--The 
                Secretary shall evaluate the effectiveness of the 
                export controls in achieving their specific objectives,

                during the 12-month period described in subparagraph 
                (A), to controlled countries of computer equipment, 
                computer communications and networking equipment, 
                computer software, and related technology on which the 
                export controls are in effect--

                        authorizations from countries other than the 
                        United States;

        under this subsection, the Secretary shall increase, if 
        warranted by the findings of the review, the following export 
        control thresholds, consistent with the obligations of the 
        United States under bilateral and multilateral agreements:

                parts, and communications equipment normally supplied 
                with such computer systems.
        In any recommendation or publication for such increase, the 
        Secretary shall include the specific rationale for the 
        increase.

SOLUTION:
Computer Equipment and Technology Export Control Reform Act - Amends the Export Administration Act of 1979 to direct the Secretary of Commerce to:  (1) conduct annual reviews of export controls on computer equipment and technology; (2) increase certain export control thresholds if warranted by the review; and (3) report review findings to the Congress and the Computer Systems Technical Advisory Committee. 
Exempts from license requirements for export or reexport to any controlled country digital computers valued at less than $5,000. 
Directs the Secretary to:  (1) identify specified items that will be installed for end-use outside the United States; and (2) publish in the Federal Register the name and specified license requirements for exports to a proliferation end-user (any entity engaged in the design, development, or production of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missiles which is located in a country that is not party to an agreement, to which the United States is a party, to limit the spread of such weapons and activities). 
Prohibits the Secretary from requiring a license applicant to supply information about proliferation-related activities of an end-user, as a condition of granting a license for export of goods or technology to such end-user, unless the Secretary has:  (1) identified the end-user's country as engaged in proliferation activities; or (2) determined there is a specific risk that the exports will be diverted to a country for use in such activities.
