SEC. 2002. (a) The Senate finds t h a t ^ 
(1) historically it is the policy of the Federal Government 
to provide financial and other assistance to the victims of 
natural disasters; 
(2) since fiscal year 1988, the Congress has enacted 6 
major disaster relief supplemental appropriations Acts provid-
ing a total of $17,012,000,000 in budget authority for Federal 
disaster assistance for domestic disasters; 
(3) the provision of Federal disaster assistance reflects 
the traditions and values of the American people who have 
always been willing to provide help to those who have been 
victimized by catastrophic events and forces beyond their 
control; 
(4) the unprecedented growth in the cost of disaster assist-
ance needs to be reconciled with the restraints imposed on 
discretionary spending and with the deficit reduction goals 
of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 and the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1993, under which significant progress 
is being made in reducing the Federal deficit; and 
(5) a prospective policy should be developed for anticipating 
and funding aisaster needs and other emergencies in keeping 
with continuing fiscal constraints on the Federal Grovemment. 
(b) It is the sense of the Senate that— 
(1) there should be established in the Senate a Bipartisan 
Task Force on Funding Disaster Relief; and 
(2) the Task Force should— 
(A) consult with the Senate committees with jurisdic-
tion over disaster relief programs; 
(B) compile information on the history of Federal disas-
ter relief and recovery funding; 
(C) evaluate the types and amounts of Federal financial 
assistance provided to individuals. State and local govern-
ments, and nonprofit organizations after disasters strike, 
as well as relevant insurance coverage and loss experience; 
(D) consider the relationship between funding disaster 
relief and complying with the deficit control requirements 
of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, the Omnibus 
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, and other deficit control 
provisions enacted prior to 1990; and
