         TITLE I--REFORMED BUREAU OF RECLAMATION WATER PRICING

SECTION 101. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Irrigation Subsidy Reduction Act of 
2001''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal reclamation program has been in existence 
        for over 90 years, with an estimated taxpayer investment of 
        over $70,000,000,000;
            (2) the program has had and continues to have an enormous 
        effect on the water resources and aquatic environments of the 
        western States;
            (3) irrigation water made available from Federal water 
        projects in the West is a very valuable resource for which 
        there are increasing and competing demands;
            (4) the justification for providing water at less than full 
        cost was to benefit and promote the development of small family 
        farms and exclude large corporate farms, but this purpose has 
        been frustrated over the years due to inadequate implementation 
        of subsidy and acreage limits;
            (5) below-cost water prices tend to encourage excessive use 
        of scarce water supplies in the arid regions of the West, and 
        reasonable price increases to the wealthiest western farmers 
        would provide an economic incentive for greater water 
        conservation;
            (6) the Federal Government has increasingly applied 
        eligibility tests based on income for Federal entitlement and 
        subsidy programs, measures that are consistent with the 
        historic approach of the reclamation program's acreage 
        limitations that seek to limit water subsidies to smaller 
        farms; and
            (7) including a means test based on gross income in the 
        reclamation program will increase the effectiveness of carrying 
        out the family farm goals of the Federal reclamation laws.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    (a) In General.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) United States leadership in science and technology has 
        been vital to the Nation's prosperity, national and economic 
        security, and international competitiveness, and there is every 
        reason to believe that maintaining this tradition will lead to 
        long-term continuation of United States strategic advantages in 
        information technology;
            (2) the United States' investment in science and technology 
        has yielded a scientific and engineering enterprise without 
        peer, and that Federal investment in research is critical to 
        the maintenance of United States leadership;
            (3) previous Federal investment in computer networking 
        technology and related fields has resulted in the creation of 
        new industries and new jobs in the United States;
            (4) the Internet is playing an increasingly important role 
        in keeping citizens informed of the actions of their 
        government; and
            (5) continued inter-agency cooperation is necessary to 
        avoid wasteful duplication in Federal networking research and 
        development programs.
    (b) Additional Findings for the 1991 Act.--Section 2 of the High-
Performance Computing Act of 1991 (15 U.S.C. 5501) is amended by--
            (1) striking paragraph (4) and inserting the following:
            ``(4) A high-capacity, flexible, high-speed national 
        research and education computer network is needed to provide 
        researchers and educators with access to computational and 
        information resources, act as a test bed for further research 
        and development for high-capacity and high-speed computer 
        networks, and provide researchers the necessary vehicle for 
        continued network technology improvement through research.''; 
        and
            (2) adding at the end thereof the following:
            ``(7) Additional research must be undertaken to lay the 
        foundation for the development of new applications that can 
        result in economic growth, improved health care, and improved

Ex Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
    This Act may be cited as the ``North Korean Human Rights 
Reauthorization Act of 2017''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
    Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) In 2014, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry (COI) on 
    Human Rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) 
    found that the grave human rights violations still being 
    perpetrated against the people of North Korea, due to policies 
    established at the highest level of the state, amount to crimes 
    against humanity. Crimes include forced starvation, sexual violence 
    against women and children, restrictions on freedom of movement, 
    arbitrary detention, torture, executions, and enforced 
    disappearances, among other hardships.
        (2) The COI also noted that the Government of the People's 
    Republic of China is aiding and abetting in crimes against humanity 
    by forcibly repatriating North Korean refugees back to the DPRK. 
    Upon repatriation, North Koreans are sent to prison camps, 
    tortured, or even executed. The Government of the People's Republic 
    of China's forcible repatriation of North Korean refugees violates 
    its obligation to uphold the principle of non-refoulement, under 
    the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, 
    done at Geneva July 28, 1951 (as made applicable by the Protocol 
    Relating to the Status of Refugees, done at New York January 31, 
    1967 (19 UST 6223)).
        (3) Estimates from the COI suggest that between 80,000 and 
    120,000 people are believed to be imprisoned in political prison 
    camps in North Korea. Another 70,000 are believed to be held at 
    other detention facilities. Prisoners in both situations are 
    subject to harsh conditions, limited food, sexual abuse, and in 
    most cases hard labor.
        (4) One of the findings of the COI report was the persecution 
    of religious minorities, especially Christians. There is 
    effectively no freedom of religion in North Korea, only worship of 
    the Kim family. Christians are subjected to particularly acute 
    persecution. It has been reported that Christians in North Korea 
    have been tortured, forcibly detained, and even executed for 
    possessing a Bible or professing Christianity.
        (5) North Korea profits from its human rights abuses. A 2014 
    report from the Asian Institute for Policy Studies suggests that 
    there are nearly 50,000 North Korean workers forced to labor 
    overseas, sometimes without compensation, and for as much as 20 
    hours at a time. Workers that received compensation were not to be 
    paid more than $150 per month, which is between 10 to 20 percent of 
    the value of the labor they performed. Based on this report, the 
    regime may profit as much as $360,000,000 annually from just 50,000 
    laborers.
        (6) On July 6, 2016, the United States imposed sanctions on 
    North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and other senior North Korean 
    officials for human rights violations as required by the North 
    Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-
    122). This was the first time that the United States had designated 
    North Korean officials for human rights abuses.
        (7) The North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 
    2016 (Public Law 114-122) requires the President to impose 
    mandatory penalties under United States law on any person that 
    ``knowingly engages in, is responsible for, or facilitates serious 
    human rights abuses by the Government of North Korea''.
        (8) Although the United States Refugee Admissions Program 
    remains the largest in the world by far, the United States has only 
    resettled 212 refugees from North Korea since the date of the 
    enactment of the North Korea Human Rights Act of 2004 (Public Law 
    108-333).
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
    It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the United States Government should continue to make it a 
    priority to improve information access in North Korea by exploring 
    the use of new and emerging technologies and expanding 
    nongovernmental radio broadcasting to North Korea, including news 
    and information;
        (2) the United Nations has a significant role to play in 
    promoting and improving human rights in North Korea and should 
    press for access for the Special Rapporteur on the situation of 
    human rights in North Korea as well as the United Nations High 
    Commissioner for Human Rights;
        (3) because North Koreans fleeing into China face a well-
    founded fear of persecution upon their forcible repatriation, the 
    United States should urge China to--
            (A) immediately halt the forcible repatriation of North 
        Koreans;
            (B) allow the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 
        unimpeded access to North Koreans inside China to determine 
        whether such North Koreans require protection as refugees;
            (C) fulfill its obligations under the 1951 United Nations 
        Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, the 1967 
        Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, and the Agreement 
        on the Upgrading of the UNHCR Mission in the People's Republic 
        of China to UNHCR Branch Office in the People's Republic of 
        China (signed December 1, 1995);
            (D) address the concerns of the United Nations Committee 
        against Torture by incorporating the principle of non-
        refoulement into Chinese domestic legislation; and
            (E) recognize the legal status of North Korean women who 
        marry or have children with Chinese citizens, and ensure that 
        all such children are granted resident status and access to 
        education and other public services in accordance with Chinese 
        law and international standards;
        (4) the President should continue to designate all individuals 
    found to have committed violations described in section 104(a) of 
    the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 (22 
    U.S.C. 2914(a)), regarding complicity in censorship and human right 
    abuses;
        (5) the United States currently blocks United States passports 
    from being used to travel to North Korea without a special 
    validation from the Department of State, and the Department of 
    State should continue to take steps to increase public awareness 
    about the risks and dangers of travel by United States citizens to 
    North Korea;
        (6) the United States should continue to seek cooperation from 
    all foreign governments to allow the United Nations High 
    Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) access to process North Korean 
    refugees overseas for resettlement and to allow United States 
    officials access to process refugees for resettlement in the United 
    States (if that is the destination country of the refugees' 
    choosing); and
        (7) the Secretary of State, through diplomacy by senior 
    officials, including United States ambassadors to Asia-Pacific 
    countries, and in close cooperation with South Korea, should make 
    every effort to promote the protection of North Korean refugees and 
    defectors.
SEC. 4. RADIO BROADCASTING TO NORTH KOREA.
    Section 103(a) of the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004 (22 
U.S.C. 7813(a)) is amended--
        (1) by striking ``that the United States should facilitate'' 
    and inserting the following: ``that the United States should--
        ``(1) facilitate'';

    broadcasting efforts, prioritizing organizations that engage North 
    Korean defectors in programming and broadcast services.''.
SEC. 5. ACTIONS TO PROMOTE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION.
    Section 104(a) of the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004 (22 
U.S.C. 7814(a)) is amended--
        (1) by striking ``The President'' and inserting the following:
        ``(1) In general.--The President'';
        (2) by inserting ``, USB drives, micro SD cards, audio players, 
    video players, cell phones, wi-fi, wireless internet, web pages, 
    internet, wireless telecommunications, and other electronic media 
    that shares information'' before the period at the end; and
        (3) by adding at the end the following:
        ``(2) Distribution.--In accordance with the sense of Congress 
    described in section 103, the President, acting through the 
    Secretary of State, is authorized to distribute or provide grants 
    to distribute information receiving devices, electronically 
    readable devices, and other informational sources into North Korea, 
    including devices and informational sources specified in paragraph 
    (1). To carry out this paragraph, the President is authorized to 
    issue regulations to facilitate the free-flow of information into 
    North Korea.
        ``(3) Research and development grant program.--In accordance 
    with the authorization described in paragraphs (1) and (2) to 
    increase the availability and distribution of sources of 
    information inside North Korea, the President, acting through the

    make grants to eligible entities to develop or distribute (or both) 
    new products or methods to allow North Koreans easier access to 
    outside information. Such program may involve public-private 
    partnerships.
        ``(4) Culture.--In accordance with the sense of Congress
