					VIPolicy
			601.Policy Statement on
			 Medicare
				(a)FindingsThe House finds the following:
					(1)More than 50 million Americans depend on
			 Medicare for their health security.
					(2)The Medicare Trustees Report has repeatedly
			 recommended that Medicare’s long-term financial challenges be addressed soon.
			 Each year without reform, the financial condition of Medicare becomes more
			 precarious and the threat to those in and near retirement becomes more
			 pronounced. According to the Congressional Budget Office—
						(A)the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be
			 exhausted in 2022 and unable to pay scheduled benefits; and
						(B)Medicare spending is growing faster than
			 the economy and Medicare outlays are currently rising at a rate of 6.3 percent
			 per year, and under the Congressional Budget Office’s alternative fiscal
			 scenario, direct spending on Medicare is projected to reach 7 percent of GDP by
			 2035 and 14 percent of GDP by 2085.
						(3)Failing to address this problem will leave
			 millions of American seniors without adequate health security and younger
			 generations burdened with enormous debt to pay for spending levels that cannot
			 be sustained.
					(b)Policy on
			 medicare reformIt is the
			 policy of this resolution to protect those in and near retirement from any
			 disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer future beneficiaries the same
			 health care options available to Members of Congress.
				(c)AssumptionsThis resolution assumes reform of the
			 Medicare program such that:
					(1)Current Medicare benefits are preserved for
			 those in and near retirement, without changes.
					(2)For future
			 generations, when they reach eligibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a
			 premium support payment and a selection of guaranteed health coverage options
			 from which recipients can choose a plan that best suits their needs.
					(3)Medicare will
			 provide additional assistance for lower-income beneficiaries and those with
			 greater health risks.
					(4)Medicare spending
			 is put on a sustainable path and the Medicare program becomes solvent over the
			 long-term.
					602.Policy
			 Statement on Social Security
				(a)FindingsThe House finds the following:
					(1)More than 55
			 million retirees, individuals with disabilities, and survivors depend on Social
			 Security. Since enactment, Social Security has served as a vital leg on the
			 three-legged stool of retirement security, which includes
			 employer provided pensions as well as personal savings.
					(2)The Social
			 Security Trustees report has repeatedly recommended that Social Security’s
			 long-term financial challenges be addressed soon. Each year without reform, the
			 financial condition of Social Security becomes more precarious and the threat
			 to seniors and those receiving Social Security disability benefits becomes more
			 pronounced:
						(A)In 2016, according
			 to the Congressional Budget Office, the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund
			 will be exhausted and will be unable to pay scheduled benefits.
						(B)In 2036, according
			 to the Social Security Trustees Report the combined Federal Old-Age and
			 Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund will
			 be exhausted, and will be unable to pay scheduled benefits.
						(C)With the
			 exhaustion of the trust funds in 2036, benefits will be cut 23 percent across
			 the board, devastating those currently in or near retirement and those who rely
			 on Social Security the most.
						(3)The current recession has exacerbated the
			 crisis to Social Security. The Congressional Budget Office continues to project
			 permanent cash deficits.
					(4)Lower-income
			 Americans rely on Social Security for a larger proportion of their retirement
			 income. Therefore, reforms should take into consideration the need to protect
			 lower-income Americans’ retirement security.
					(5)Americans deserve
			 action by their elected officials on Social Security reform. It is critical
			 that the Congress and the administration work together in a bipartisan fashion
			 to address the looming insolvency of Social Security. In this spirit, this
			 resolution creates a bipartisan opportunity to find solutions by requiring
			 policymakers to ensure that Social Security remains a critical part fo the
			 safety net.
					(b)Policy on Social
			 SecurityIt is the policy of this resolution that Congress should
			 work on a bipartisan basis to make Social Security permanently solvent. This
			 resolution assumes reform of a current law trigger, such that—
					(1)(A)if in any year the Board
			 of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the
			 Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund in its annual Trustees’ Report
			 determines that the 75-year actuarial balance of the Social Security Trust
			 Funds is in deficit, and the annual balance of the Social Security Trust Funds
			 in the 75th year is in deficit, the Board of Trustees should, not later than
			 September 30 of the same calendar year, submit to the President recommendations
			 for statutory reforms necessary to achieve a positive 75-year actuarial balance
			 and a positive annual balance in the 75th year; and
						(B)such recommendations provided to the
			 President should be agreed upon by both Public Trustees of the Board of
			 Trustees;
						(2)(A)not later than December
			 1 of the same calendar year in which the Board of Trustees submits its
			 recommendations, the President shall promptly submit implementing legislation
			 to both Houses of Congress, including recommendations necessary to achieve a
			 positive 75-year actuarial balance and a positive annual balance in the 75th
			 year; and
						(B)the Majority Leader of the Senate and
			 the Majority Leader of the House should introduce such legislation upon
			 receipt;
						(3)within 60 days of
			 the President submitting legislation, the committees of jurisdiction to which
			 the legislation has been referred should report such legislation, which should
			 be considered by the full House or Senate under expedited procedures;
			 and
					(4)legislation
			 submitted by the President should—
						(A)protect those in
			 and near retirement;
						(B)preserve the
			 safety net for those who rely on Social Security, including survivors and those
			 with disabilities;
						(C)improve fairness
			 for participants; and
						(D)reduce the burden
			 on, and provide certainty for, future generations.
						603.Policy
			 statement on deficit reduction through the cancellation of unobligated
			 balances
				(a)FindingsThe
			 House finds the following:
					(1)According to the
			 Office of Management and Budget, Federal agencies will hold $698 billion in
			 unobligated balances at the close of fiscal year 2013.
					(2)These funds
			 represent direct and discretionary spending made available by Congress that
			 remain available for expenditure beyond the fiscal year for which they are
			 provided.
					(3)In some cases,
			 agencies are granted funding and it remains available for obligation
			 indefinitely.
					(4)The Congressional
			 Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 requires the Office of Management
			 and Budget to make funds available to agencies for obligation and prohibits the
			 Administration from withholding or cancelling unobligated funds unless approved
			 by an act of Congress.
					(5)Greater
			 congressional oversight is required to review and identify potential savings
			 from unneeded balances of funds.
					(b)Policy on
			 deficit reduction through the cancellation of unobligated
			 balancesCongressional committees shall through their oversight
			 activities identify and achieve savings through the cancellation or rescission
			 of unobligated balances that neither abrogate contractual obligations of the
			 Federal Government nor reduce or disrupt Federal commitments under programs
			 such as Social Security, veterans’ affairs, national security, and Treasury
			 authority to finance the national debt.
				(c)Deficit
			 reductionCongress, with the
			 assistance of the Government Accountability Office, the Inspectors General, and
			 other appropriate agencies should make it a high priority to review unobligated
			 balances and identify savings for deficit reduction.
				604.Recommendations
			 for the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse in Federal programs
				(a)FindingsThe House finds the following:
					(1)The Government
			 Accountability Office is required by law to identify examples of waste,
			 duplication, and overlap in Federal programs, and has so identified dozens of
			 such examples.
					(2)In testimony
			 before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Comptroller
			 General has stated that addressing the identified waste, duplication, and
			 overlap in Federal programs could potentially save tens of billions of
			 dollars.
					(3)The Rules of the
			 House of Representatives require each standing committee to hold at least one
			 hearing every four months on waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement in
			 Government programs.
					(4)The findings
			 resulting from congressional oversight of Federal Government programs should
			 result in programmatic changes in both authorizing statutes and program funding
			 levels.
					(b)Policy on
			 deficit reduction through the reduction of unnecessary and wasteful
			 spendingEach authorizing committee annually shall include in its
			 Views and Estimates letter required under section 301(d) of the Congressional
			 Budget Act of 1974 recommendations to the Committee on the Budget of programs
			 within the jurisdiction of such committee whose funding should be reduced or
			 eliminated. Such recommendations shall be made publicly available.
				VIISense of the
			 House provisions
			701.Sense of the
			 House regarding the importance of child support enforcementIt is the sense of the House that—
				(1)additional legislative action is needed to
			 ensure that States have the necessary resources to collect all child support
			 that is owed to families and to allow them to pass 100 percent of support on to
			 families without financial penalty; and
				(2)when 100 percent of child support payments
			 are passed to the child, rather than administrative expenses, program integrity
			 is improved and child support participation increases.

			Passed the House of
			 Representatives March 29, 2012.

		  2001.

		1.Short titleThis Act may be cited as the
			 Procedural Fairness for September 11
			 Victims Act of 2007.
		2.FindingsCongress finds the following:
			(1)The September 11th
			 Victims Compensation Fund of 2001 (49 U.S.C. 40101 note) establishes a Federal
			 cause of action in the United States District Court for the Southern District
			 of New York as the exclusive remedy for damages arising out of the hijacking
			 and subsequent crash of American Airlines flights 11 and 77, and United
			 Airlines flights 93 and 175, on September 11, 2001.
			(2)Rules 45(b)(2) and
			 45(c)(3)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure effectively limit
			 service of a subpoena to any place within, or within 100 miles of, the district
			 of the court by which it is issued, unless a statute of the United States
			 expressly provides that the court, upon proper application and cause shown, may
			 authorize the service of a subpoena at any other place.
			(3)Litigating a
			 Federal cause of action under the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund of
			 2001 is likely to involve the testimony and the production of other documents
			 and tangible things by a substantial number of witnesses, many of whom may not
			 reside, be employed, or regularly transact business in, or within 100 miles of,
			 the Southern District of New York.
			3.Nationwide
			 subpoenasSection 408(b) of
			 the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund of 2001 (49 U.S.C. 40101 note) is
			 amended in by adding at the end the following:

				(4)Nationwide
				subpoenas
					(A)In
				generalA subpoena requiring
				the attendance of a witness at trial or a hearing conducted under this section
				may be served at any place in the United States.
					(B)Rule of

		That it is the sense of the House of
			 Representatives that—
			(1)public and private institutions should
			 continue to work together to eliminate homelessness; and
			(2)the United States
			 Government should recognize the outstanding efforts of institutions and
			 individuals who work tirelessly to assist those in their community who suffer
			 from homelessness.

			 Buffalo Soldiers were assigned to Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks where
			 they patrolled the backcountry, built trails, stopped poaching, and otherwise
			 served in the roles later assumed by National Park rangers.
				(3)The public would benefit from having
			 opportunities to learn more about the Buffalo Soldiers in the National Parks
			 and their contributions to the management of National Parks and the legacy of
			 African-Americans in the post-Civil War era.
				(4)As the centennial of the National Park
			 Service in 2016 approaches, it is an especially appropriate time to conduct
			 research and increase public awareness of the stewardship role the Buffalo
			 Soldiers played in the early years of the National Parks.

			 traveled by the Buffalo Soldiers from their post in the Presidio of San
			 Francisco to Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks and to any other National
			 Parks where they may have served;

				(5)any other matters that the Secretary of the
			 Interior deems appropriate for this study.

			 available for the study, the Secretary of the Interior shall submit to the
