SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''9/11 Can You Hear Me Now Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) After two terrorist attacks it is time to fix the
communications system for the New York City Fire Department.
(2) During its response to the 1993 bombing of the World
Trade Center in New York City, the New York City Fire
Department's radios did not work in the twin towers of the
World Trade Center. The resulting lack of communication
complicated operations but did not result in the death of any
firefighter.
(3) Eight years later, on September 11, 2001, the World
Trade Center was attacked again and the fire department's radio
system failed again.
(4) Soon before the collapse of Tower One of the World
Trade Center, fire department officials tried in vain to radio
firefighters to evacuate the building.
(5) The firefighters' radio system failed the firefighters
in Tower One and as a result many were not able to receive this
warning. The failure of the radio system was largely
responsible for the death of many of the 343 firefighters who
died in the collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers.
(6) Since September 11, 2001, the fire department has taken
steps to improve the communications system that failed them.
However, many tall buildings in New York City have not
installed repeaters that are needed to boost signals, and the
signals are often lost in high-rise buildings and underground.
(7) In August 2003, New York City experienced a blackout.
During the blackout the fire department's radio system was
again found not to work reliably during emergency situations or
in high buildings.
(8) The dispatch system currently used by the New York City
Fire Department was acquired in the early 1970s and hampers the
ability of the department to fully communicate with its
firefighters and provide appropriate detailed information about
the buildings and locations to which they respond.
(9) Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001,
executive branch officials have repeatedly warned that future
terror attacks are not a matter of if, but when. The Secretary
of Homeland Security has identified New York City as one of the
main terrorist targets.
(10) With New York City remaining a top terrorist target,
such communications system should be a national priority.
(11) A new state-of-the-art communications system and
upgrades to the critical information dispatch system for the
New York City Fire Department should be--
(A) seamless from the receipt of a 911 call to the
dispatch of the firefighter; and
(B) interoperable with other public safety offices
within the City of New York.

SEC. 3. REQUIREMENT TO PROCURE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR NEW YORK CITY
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

(a) In General.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, by not
later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, procure
development and provision of a communications system for the New York
City Fire Department, including appropriate radios for the entire
department and upgrades to the critical information dispatch system of
the department.
(b) Requirements.--

be capable of operating in all locations, and under all
conditions, in which firefighters can reasonably be expected to

to each firefighter of a supplemental radio communication
device that--
(A) allows the firefighter to transmit audio and
radio emergency notification warning signals to other
firefighters whenever the firefighter is in distress
and in immediate need of assistance; and
(B) has the capability to operate automatically in
a passive mode by transmitting audio and radio messages
that will relay the firefighter's identification and
location if the firefighter--
(i) becomes incapacitated and motionless;
and
(ii) is unable to physically transmit a
call for help.
(3) Dispatch system.--Upgrades to the critical information
dispatch system procured pursuant to this section must--
(A) allow the fire department to communicate with
firefighters in all locations, and under all
conditions, in which firefighters can reasonably be
expected to work in responding to an emergency in New
York City, including all high-rise buildings and
subways;
(B) provide useful, detailed data concerning all
likely terrorist target locations in the City of New
York; and
(C) be capable of providing to responding
firefighters, instantaneously, details about particular
buildings and other locations to assist them in making
decisions about how to mitigate a terrorist attack and
save lives and property.
(c) Testing.--Radios, any dispatch system upgrades, and
supplemental communication devices procured pursuant to this section
must have been tested to ensure they will operate in all locations and
under all conditions in which firefighters can reasonably be expected
to work in responding to an emergency in New York City.
(d) Coordination.--In carrying out this section the Secretary shall
coordinate with the City of New York to ensure that the communications
system procured under this section is--
(1) compatible with the plans of the City of New York to
upgrade its 911 system; and
(2) interoperable with other public safety communications
systems.
(e) Progress Report.--The Secretary shall submit to the Congress a
report on progress made in carrying out this section, on--
(1) February 26, 2008; and
(2) September 11, 2008.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''United States Agricultural Products
Market Access Act of 2003''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The export of agricultural products is of vital
importance to the economy of the United States.
(2) In 2002, agriculture was a large positive contributor
to the United States merchandise trade balance with a trade
surplus of $12,300,000,000.
(3) The growth of United States agricultural exports should
continue to be an important factor in improving the United
States merchandise trade balance.
(4) Increasing the volume of agricultural exports will
increase farm income in the United States, thereby protecting
family farms and contributing to the economic well-being of
rural communities in the United States.
(5) Although the United States efficiently produces high-
quality agricultural products, United States producers cannot
realize their full export potential because many foreign
countries deny fair and equitable market access to United
States agricultural products.
(6) The Foreign Agricultural Service estimates that United
States agricultural exports are reduced by $4,700,000,000
annually due to unjustifiable imposition of sanitary and
phytosanitary measures that deny or limit market access to
United States products.
(7) The denial of fair and equitable market access for
United States agricultural products impedes the ability of
United States farmers to export their products, thereby harming
the economic interests of the United States.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to reduce or eliminate foreign unfair trade practices
and to remove constraints on fair and open trade in
agricultural products;
(2) to ensure fair and equitable market access for exports
of United States agricultural products; and
(3) to promote free and fair trade in agricultural
products.
