Answer: Preserving Marginal Lands and Protecting Farming Act of 2013 - Amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to set the maximum number of acres that may be enrolled at any one time in the conservation reserve program (CRP) at: (1) 29 million acres for FY2013, (2) 26 million acres for FY2014, and (3) 26 million acres for each of FY2015 through FY2018. Prohibits the enrollment of land in the conservation reserve that is classified as class I or class II land under the National Soil Survey Handbook's land capability classification system unless such land is enrolled as a buffer, filterstrip, or strip adjacent to a riparian area. Directs the Secretary of Agriculture (USDA), during FY2014, to permit a participant that entered into a CRP contract to terminate the contract at any time if the contract has been in effect for at least five years. Revises the types of land that are not subject to early contract termination.

Answer: Denies monthly cash disability benefits under titles II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) and XVI (Supplemental Security Income) (SSI), respectively, of the Social Security Act for drug addicts and alcoholics whose substance abuse is a contributing factor material to their disability. Allows such individuals, instead, to elect to undergo treatment for their substance abuse. (Currently, such recipients are required to undergo treatment only at approved facilities or institutions.)
Revises OASDI and SSI program representative payee requirements to require the payment of program benefits through a representative payee if it is in the interest of an otherwise disabled individual with an alcohol or drug addiction condition who is incapable of managing such benefits.
Preserves the Medicaid eligibility of SSI recipients denied cash disability benefits because of the connection between their drug addiction or alcoholism and their disability.

Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Combating Methamphetamine Act of
2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Methamphetamine (meth) is an extremely dangerous and
highly addictive drug.
(2) Methamphetamine use contributes to the perpetration of
violent crimes, particularly burglary, child abuse, and crimes
of substantial cost and personal pain to the victims, including
identity theft.
(3) Methamphetamine labs produce hazardous conditions
because of their use of chemicals such as anhydrous ammonia,
ether, sulfuric acid, and other toxins which are volatile,
corrosive and poisonous. When these substances are illegally
disposed of in rivers, streams, and other dump areas,
explosions and serious environmental damage can and does
result.
(4) Since 2001, Federal funding was provided through the
Department of Justice COPS and Byrne Grant programs to address
methamphetamine enforcement and clean up. Since 2002, although
the methamphetamine problem has been growing and spreading
across the United States affecting more States each year,
funding has been cut each successive year, from $70,500,000 in
2002, to only $54,000,000 in 2004.
(5) As methamphetamine has impacted more States each year,
the dwindling Federal funds have been parsed into smaller
amounts. Each State deserves greater Federal support and a
permanent funding mechanism to combat the challenging problem
of methamphetamine abuse.
(6) Permanent Federal funding support for meth enforcement
and clean-up is critical to the efforts of State and local law
enforcement to reduce the use, manufacture, and sale of
methamphetamine, and thus, reduce the crime rate.
(7) It is necessary for the Federal Government to establish
a long-term commitment to combating methamphetamine use, sale,
and manufacture by creating a permanent funding mechanism to
assist States.

SEC. 3. COMBATING THE USE OF METHAMPHETAMINE.

Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968
