    This Act may be cited as the ``National Cyber Security Leadership 
Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Federal agencies rely on networked computer systems to 
        deliver critical services and information to the American 
        people, including operations related to national defense, 
        emergency services, tax collection, and the payment of 
        benefits.
            (2) There has been an astonishing increase in cyber threats 
        to government and industry in recent years. The number of cyber 
        attacks on Federal Government systems in 2001 was 71 percent 
        greater than the number of such attacks on such systems in 
        2000.
            (3) Cyber attacks can cause irreparable harm in network 
        systems, including the loss or dissemination of sensitive and 
        important data. Cyber attacks can also reduce the confidence of 
        the American people in the integrity and security of the 
        Internet.
            (4) There is mounting evidence to suggest that terrorists 
        view the Internet as a tool to achieve their goals. Government 
        investigators found that al Qaeda operatives browsed Internet 
        sites that offered software describing the digital switches 
        that control power, water, transport, and communications grids.
            (5) The Bush Administration has recognized in its draft 
        National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace ``the pressing need to 
        make federal cyberspace security a model for the nation''.
            (6) All but a few Federal agencies continue to receive 
        failing grades for their cyber security programs.
            (7) Federal agencies must take significant steps to better 
        protect themselves against cyber attacks, including--
                    (A) identifying significant vulnerabilities in 
                their computer networks and the tools needed to detect 
                such vulnerabilities;
                    (B) monitoring for new vulnerabilities in their 
                computer networks, and assessing risks of cyber 
                attacks;
                    (C) testing computers against identified 
                vulnerabilities; and
                    (D) ensuring that computers and networks are 
                adequately protected against such vulnerabilities.

            (2) Vulnerability.--The term ``vulnerability'', in the case 
        of information technology, means an error or defect in coding, 
        configuration, or installation of such information technology 
        that increases its susceptibility to a cyber threat.
            (3) Other definitions.--Except as otherwise provided in

SEC. 7. SEVERED MINERAL EXCHANGE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
        (1) underlying certain areas in Montana described in subsection 
    (b) are mineral rights owned by subsidiaries of Burlington 
    Resources, Incorporated and its successors and assigns (referred to 
    in this Act as ``Burlington'');
        (2) there are federally owned minerals underlying lands of 
    Burlington lying outside those areas;
        (3) Burlington has agreed in principle with the Secretary to an 
    exchange of mineral rights to consolidate surface and subsurface 
    ownerships and to avoid potential conflicts with the surface 
    management of the areas; and
        (4) it is desirable that an exchange of lands be completed not 
    later than two years after the date of enactment of this Act.
    (b) Mineral Interests.--
        (1) Acquisition.--Pursuant to an exchange agreement between the 
    Secretary and Burlington, the Secretary may acquire mineral 
    interests owned by Burlington or an affiliate of Burlington 
    underlying surface lands owned by the United States located in the 
    areas depicted on the maps entitled ``Severed Minerals Exchange, 
    Clearwater-Monture Area'', dated September 1988, and ``Severed 
    Mineral Exchanges, Gallatin Area'', dated September 1988, or in 
    fractional sections adjacent to the areas depicted on the maps.
        (2) Exchange.--In exchange for the mineral interests conveyed to 
    the Secretary pursuant to paragraph (1), the Secretary of the 
    Interior shall convey, subject to valid existing rights, such 
    federally owned mineral interests as the Secretary and Burlington 
    may agree upon.
    (c) Equal Value.--
        (1) In general.--The value of the mineral interests exchanged 
    under subsection (b) shall be approximately equal in value based 
    upon available information.
        (2) Appraisal.--To ensure that the wilderness or other natural 
    values of the area are not affected by the exchange, a formal 
    appraisal based upon drilling or other surface disturbing activities 
    shall not be required for any mineral interest proposed for 
    exchange, except that the Secretary and Burlington shall fully share 
    all available information on the quality and quantity of mineral 
    interests proposed for exchange.
        (3) Inadequate information.--In the absence of adequate 
    information regarding values of minerals proposed for exchange, the 
    Secretary and Burlington may agree to an exchange on the basis of 
    mineral interests of similar development potential, geologic 
    character, and similar factors.
    (d) Identification of Federally Owned Mineral Interests.--
        (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), mineral interests 
    conveyed by the United States pursuant to this section shall 
    underlie lands the surface of which are owned by Burlington.
        (2) Other interests.--If there are not sufficient federally 
    owned mineral interests of approximately equal value underlying 
    lands owned by Burlington, the Secretary and the Secretary of the 
    Interior may identify for exchange other federally owned mineral 
    interests in lands in the State of Montana of which the surface 
    estate is in private ownership.
    (e) Consultation With the Department of the Interior.--
        (1) In general.--The Secretary shall consult with the Secretary 
    of the Interior in the negotiation of the exchange agreement

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Administrative Procedure Reform Act 
of 1994''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The cost and burden of regulations have risen to 
        historic highs.
            (2) The number of people writing Federal regulations has 
        grown dramatically from 106,000 in 1989 to 122,440 in 1992--a 
        15 percent increase in just 3 years.
            (3) The Federal Government currently has 125,000 
        bureaucrats working on 5,000 regulations promulgated by 59 
        different Federal agencies.
            (4) The 1993 regulatory output of the Federal Government 
        numbered 69,688 pages of regulations, with the Code of Federal 
        Regulations taking up 21 feet of shelf space.
            (5) The Office of the Federal Register, the publisher of 
        the journal of Federal agency rule making, now teaches classes 
        to assist manufacturers in reading new regulations and 
        proposals.
            (6) The total cost of administering the Federal regulatory 
        apparatus in fiscal year 1993 was $11,300,000,000.
            (7) It is estimated that the total cost of regulation of 
        manufacturing approximated, and in some studies exceeded, 
        aggregate after-tax manufacturing profits.
            (8) The cost of regulatory compliance drains funds for 
        research, job creation, training, wages, and employment 
        benefits.
            (9) In a February 1993 survey of leading manufacturing 
        chief executive officers, government mandates, including 
        regulations, were identified as the government policies which 
        have done the most to harm United States manufacturing 
        employment in the past 5 years.
            (10) The vast scope, rigid construction, and costly impact 
        of State and Federal regulatory schemes has created the 
        perception of a hostile climate for manufacturing.
