[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Office of Strategic Services
Congressional Gold Medal Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was America's
first effort to implement a system of strategic intelligence
during World War II and provided the basis for the modern-day
American intelligence and special operations communities. The
U.S. Special Operations Command and the National Clandestine
Service chose the OSS spearhead as their insignias.
(2) OSS founder General William J. Donovan is the only
person in American history to receive our Nation's four highest
decorations, including the Medal of Honor. Upon learning of his
death in 1959, President Eisenhower called General Donovan the
''last hero''. In addition to founding and leading the OSS,
General Donovan was also selected by President Roosevelt, who
called him his ''secret legs'', as an emissary to Great Britain
and continental Europe before the United States entered World
War II.
(3) All the military branches during World War II
contributed personnel to the OSS. The present-day Special
Operations Forces trace their lineage to the OSS. Its Maritime
Unit was a precursor to the U.S. Navy SEALs. The OSS
Operational Groups and Jedburghs were forerunners to U.S. Army
Special Forces. The 801st/492nd Bombardment Group
(''Carpetbaggers'') were progenitors to the Air Force Special
Operations Command. The Marines who served in the OSS,
including the actor Sterling Hayden (a Silver Star recipient),
Col. William Eddy (a Distinguished Service Cross recipient who
was described as the ''nearest thing the United States has had
to a Lawrence of Arabia''), and Col. Peter Ortiz (a two-time
Navy Cross recipient), were predecessors to the Marine Special
Operations Command. U.S. Coast Guard personnel were recruited
for the Maritime Unit and its Operational Swimmer Group.
(4) The OSS organized, trained, supplied, and fought with
resistance organizations throughout Europe and Asia that played
an important role in America's victory during World War II.
General Eisenhower credited the OSS's covert contribution in
France to the equivalent to having an extra military division.
General Eisenhower told General Donovan that if it did nothing
else, the photographic reconnaissance conducted by the OSS
prior to the D-Day Invasion justified its creation.
(5) Four future directors of central intelligence served as
OSS officers: William Casey, William Colby, Allen Dulles, and
Richard Helms.
(6) Women comprised more than one-third of OSS personnel
and played a critical role in the organization. They included
Virginia Hall, the only civilian female to receive a
Distinguished Service Cross in World War II, and Julia Child.
(7) OSS recruited Fritz Kolbe, a German diplomat who became
America's most important spy against the Nazis in World War II.
(8) America's leading scientists and scholars served in the
OSS Research and Analysis Branch, including Ralph Bunche, the
first African-American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize;
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.;
Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg; Sherman Kent; John King
Fairbank; and Walt Rostow. Its ranks included seven future
presidents of the American Historical Association, five of the
American Economic Association, and two Nobel laureates.
(9) The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence
and Research traces its creation to the OSS Research and
Analysis Branch.
(10) James Donovan, who was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the
Steven Spielberg movie ''Bridge of Spies'' and negotiated the
release of U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers, served as General
Counsel of the OSS.
(11) The OSS invented and employed new technology through
its Research and Development Branch, inventing new weapons and
revolutionary communications equipment. Dr. Christian
Lambertsen invented the first underwater rebreathing apparatus
that was first utilized by the OSS and is known today as SCUBA.
(12) OSS Detachment 101 operated in Burma and pioneered the
art of unconventional warfare. It was the first United States
unit to deploy a large guerrilla army deep in enemy territory.
It has been credited with the highest kill/loss ratio for any
infantry-type unit in American military history and was awarded
a Presidential Unit Citation.
(13) Its X-2 branch pioneered counterintelligence with the
British and established the modern counterintelligence
community. The network of contacts built by the OSS with
foreign intelligence services led to enduring Cold War
alliances.
(14) Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North
Africa in November 1942, was aided by the networks established
and information acquired by the OSS to guide Allied landings.
(15) OSS Operation Halyard rescued more than 500 downed
airmen trapped behind enemy lines in Yugoslavia, one of the
most daring and successful rescue operations of World War II.
(16) OSS ''Mercy Missions'' at the end of World War II
saved the lives of thousands of Allied prisoners of war whom it
was feared would be murdered by the Japanese.
(17) The handful of surviving men and women of the OSS whom
General Donovan said performed ''some of the bravest acts of
the war'' are members of the ''Greatest Generation''. They have
never been collectively recognized for their heroic and
pioneering service in World War II.

[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Public Safety Employer-Employee
Cooperation Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. DECLARATION OF PURPOSE AND POLICY.

The Congress declares that the following is the policy of the
United States:
(1) Labor-management relationships and partnerships are
based on trust, mutual respect, open communications, bilateral
and consensual problem solving, and shared accountability.
Labor-management cooperation fully utilizes the strengths of
both parties to best serve the interests of the public,
operating as a team to carry out the public safety mission in a
quality work environment. In many public safety agencies it is
the union that provides the institutional stability as elected
leaders and appointees come and go.
(2) The health and safety of the Nation and the best
interest of public safety employers and employees can be best
protected by the settlement of issues through the processes of
collective bargaining.
(3) The Federal Government needs to encourage conciliation,
mediation, and voluntary arbitration to aid and encourage
employers and the representatives of their employees to reach
and maintain agreements concerning rates of pay, hours, and
working conditions, and to make all reasonable efforts through
negotiations to settle their differences by mutual agreement
reached through collective bargaining or by such methods as may
be provided for in any applicable agreement for the settlement
of disputes.
(4) The absence of adequate cooperation between public
safety employers and employees has implications for the
security of employees and can affect interstate and intrastate
commerce. Additionally, the lack of such labor-management
cooperation detrimentally impacts the upgrading of police and
fire services of local communities, the health and well-being
of public safety officers, and the morale of the fire and
police departments. These factors could have significant
commercial repercussions. Moreover, providing minimal standards
for collective bargaining negotiations in the public safety
industry will prevent industrial strife between labor and
management that interferes with the normal flow of commerce.
