SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING STATE FISCAL RELIEF.

(a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
(1) States are experiencing the most severe fiscal crisis
since World War II.
(2) States are instituting severe cuts to a variety of
vital programs such as health care, child care, education,
and other essential services.
(3) According to the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the
Uninsured, 49 States already have taken actions or plan to
cut medicaid before or during the current fiscal year 2003.
Medicaid budget proposals in many States would eliminate or
curtail health benefits for eligible families and
substantially reduce or freeze provider reimbursement rates.
(4) In 2002, at least 13 States reported decreased State
investments in their child care assistance programs.
(5) According to a forthcoming analysis of 22 States, at
least 1,700,000 people are now at risk of losing their health
care coverage under cuts that have already been implemented
or proposed.
(6) Fiscal relief would help avoid adding even more
Americans to the ranks of the uninsured while preserving the
safety net when it is most needed during an economic
downturn.
(7) Curtailing the States' need to cut spending and
increase taxes is essential for true economic growth.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate
that the functional totals in this resolution assume that any
legislation enacted to provide economic growth for the United
States should include not less than $30,000,000,000 for State
fiscal relief over the next 18 months (of which at least half
should be provided through a temporary increase in the
Federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP)).

SEC. 308. FUNDING FOR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COMMUNITY
ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES PROGRAMS.

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
(1) State and local law enforcement officers provide
essential services that preserve and protect our freedom and
safety;
(2) with the support of the Community Oriented Policing
Services program (referred to in this section as the ``COPS
program''), State and local law enforcement officers have
succeeded in dramatically reducing violent crime;
(3) the COPS program is the only program in the Federal
government that provides homeland security resources directly
to law enforcement first responders;
(4) on July 15, 2002, the Attorney General stated, ``Since
law enforcement agencies began partnering with citizens
through community policing, we've seen significant drops in
crime rates. COPS provides resources that reflect our
national priority of terrorism prevention.'';
(5) On February 26, 2002, the Attorney General stated,
``The COPS program has been a miraculous sort of success.
It's one of those things that Congress hopes will happen when
it sets up a program.'';
(6) the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Assistant
Director for the Office of Law Enforcement Coordination has
stated, ``The FBI fully understands that our success in the
fight against terrorism is directly related to the strength
of our relationship with our State and local partners.'';
(7) as a result of the COPS program, State and local law
enforcement agencies have received funds for more than
117,000 officers, 87,300 of whom are on the beat, fighting
crime, and improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods
and schools;
(8) the COPS program has assisted in advancing community
policing nationwide;
(9) 86 percent of the Nation is served by a law enforcement
agency that has full-time officers engaged in community
policing activities;
(10) the continuation and full funding of the COPS program
through fiscal year 2009 is supported by several major law
enforcement organizations, including--
(A) the International Association of Chiefs of Police;
(B) the International Brotherhood of Police Officers;
(C) the Fraternal Order of Police;
(D) the National Sheriffs' Association;
(E) the National Troopers Coalition;
(F) the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association;
(G) the National Association of Police Organizations;
(H) the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement
Executives;
(I) the Police Executive Research Forum; and
(J) the Major Cities Chiefs;
(11) several studies have concluded that the implementation
of community policing as a law enforcement strategy is an
important factor in the reduction of crime in our
communities;

[[Page S4024]]

(12) Congress appropriated $1,050,000,000 for the COPS
program for fiscal year 2002 and $928,900,000 for fiscal
2003; and
(13) the President requested $164,000,000 for the COPS
program for fiscal year 2004, $886,000,000 less than the
amount appropriated for fiscal year 2002.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate

provided without reduction and consistent with previous
appropriated and authorized levels.

SA 279. Mr. NICKLES (for Mr. Graham of South Carolina) proposed an

the congressional budget for the United States Governments for fiscal
year 2004 and including the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
year 2003 and for fiscal years 2005 through 2013; as follows:

On page 79, after line 22, add the following:

SEC. 308. SOCIAL SECURITY RESTRUCTURING.

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
(1) Social Security is the foundation of retirement income
for most Americans;
(2) preserving and strengthening the long term viability of
Social Security is a vital national priority and is essential
for the retirement security of today's working Americans,
current and future retirees, and their families;
(3) Social Security faces significant fiscal and
demographic pressures;
(4) the nonpartisan Office of the Chief Actuary at the
Social Security Administration reports that--
(A) the number of workers paying taxes to support each
Social Security beneficiary has dropped from 16.5 in 1950 to
3.3 in 2002;
(B) within a generation there will be only 2 workers to
support each retiree, which will substantially increase the
financial burden on American workers;
(C) the implementation of a Social Security ``lockbox''
would have no direct effect on the future solvency of Social
Security;
(D) without structural reform, the Social Security system,
beginning in 2018, will pay out more in benefits than it will
collect in taxes;
(E) without structural reform, the Social Security system,
by 2042, will be insolvent and unable to pay full benefits on
time;
(F) without structural reform, Social Security tax revenue
in 2042 will only cover 73 percent of promised benefits, and
will decrease to 65 percent by 2077;
(G) without structural reform, payroll taxes will have to
be raised 50 percent over the next 75 years to pay full
benefits on time, resulting in payroll tax rates of 16.9
percent by 2042 and 18.9 percent by 2077;
(H) without structural reform, Social Security's total cash
shortfall over the next 75 years is estimated to be more than
$25,000,000,000,000 in constant 2003 dollars;
(I) without structural reform, real rates of return on
Social Security contributions will continue to decline
dramatically for all workers; and
(J) absent structural reforms, spending on Social Security
will increase from 4.4 percent of gross domestic product in
2003 to 7.0 percent in 2077; and
(5) the Congressional Budget Office, the General Accounting
Office, the Congressional Research Service, the Chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board, and the President's Commission to
Strengthen Social Security have all warned that failure to
enact fiscally responsible Social Security reform quickly
will result in 1 or more of the following:
(A) Higher tax rates.
(B) Lower Social Security benefit levels.
(C) Increased Federal debt.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that the President and Congress should work together at the
earliest opportunity to enact legislation to achieve a
solvent and permanently sustainable Social Security system.

SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE STATE CRIMINAL ALIEN
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) The control of illegal immigration is a Federal
responsibility.
(2) In fiscal year 2002, however, State and local
governments spent more than $13,000,000,000 in costs
associated with the incarceration of undocumented criminal
aliens.
(3) The Federal Government provided $565,000,000 in
appropriated funding to the State Criminal Alien Assistance
Program (SCAAP) to reimburse State and local governments for
these costs.
(4) In fiscal year 2003, the fiscal burden of incarcerating
undocumented criminal aliens is likely to grow, however,
Congress provided only $250,000,000 to help cover these
costs.
(5) The 56 percent cut in fiscal year 2003 funding for
SCAAP will place an enormous burden on State and local law
enforcement agencies during a time of heightened efforts to
secure our homeland.
(6) The Administration did not include funding for SCAAP in
its fiscal year 2004 budget.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that--
(1) the functional totals underlying this resolution on the
budget assumes that the State Criminal Alien Assistance
Program be funded at $585,000,000 to reimburse State and
local law enforcement agencies for the burdens imposed in
fiscal year 2003 by the incarceration of undocumented
criminal aliens; and
(2) Congress enact a long-term reauthorization of the State
Criminal Alien Assistance Program beginning with the
authorization of $750,000,000 in fiscal year 2004 to
reimburse State and county governments for the burdens
undocumented criminal aliens have placed on the local
criminal justice system.

SA 285. Mr. SCHUMER (for himself, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Biden) submitted
an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the concurrent
resolution S. Con. Res. 23, setting forth the congressional budget for
the United States Governments for fiscal year 2004 and including the
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal year 2003 and for fiscal years
2005 through 2013; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

On page 79, after line 22, add the following:

SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE.

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
(1) in our increasingly competitive global economy, the
attainment of higher education is critical to the economic
success of an individual, as evidenced by the fact that, in
1975, college graduates earned an average of 57 percent more
than individuals who were only high school graduates, as
compared to the fact that, in 2001, college graduates earned
an average of 84 percent more than high school graduates;
(2) over the past 20 years, the average cost of college
tuition has increased by over 250 percent and is increasing--
(A) at a faster rate than any consumer item, including
health care; and
(B) at a rate that is more than twice as fast as the rate
of inflation;
(3) despite increases in grant amounts contained in
legislation recently enacted by Congress, the value of the
maximum Pell Grant has declined 15 percent since 1975 in
inflation-adjusted terms, forcing more students to rely on
student loans to finance the cost of a higher education;
(4) from fiscal years 1990 to 2000, the demand for student
loans rose by 41 percent and the average student loan amount
increased by 48.2 percent; and
(5) according to the Department of Education, there is
approximately $150,000,000,000 in outstanding student loan
debt and students borrowed more during the decade beginning
in 1990 than during all of the decades beginning in 1960,
1970, and 1980.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that economic stimulus legislation enacted pursuant to the
instructions contained in this concurrent resolution on the
budget should include provisions to make higher education
affordable, including--
(1) a provision to make permanent the above-the-line
deduction for the higher education expenses of a taxpayer and
members of the taxpayer's family and to increase such
deduction to $8,000 for taxable year 2003 and $12,000 for
taxable year 2004 and thereafter; and
(2) a credit against tax of up to $1,500 for each taxable
year (indexed for inflation) for interest paid during such
taxable year on loans incurred for higher education
expenses--
(A) during the first 60 months such payments are required;
and
(B) paid by individuals who are not dependents.

On page 79, after line 22, add the following:

SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE.

It is the sense of the Senate that the budgetary totals in
this concurrent resolution assume that the September 11th
Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 (49 U.S.C. 40101 note;
Public Law 107-42) should be amended to provide compensation
for victims killed in the bombing of the World Trade Center
in 1993.

budgetary levels for fiscal year 2003 and for fiscal years 2005 through
2013; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

On page 79, after line 22, add the following:

SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE.

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
(1) the States and their local governments face budget
deficits of historic proportions;
(2) the States and their local governments are raising
taxes, cutting jobs, and reducing services to address this
fiscal crisis;
(3) these actions by the States and their local governments
threaten to undo any economic stimulus measures implemented
at the Federal level; and
(4) the States and their local governments require adequate
funding to meet their responsibilities for homeland security,
as well as other Federal mandates.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that economic stimulus legislation enacted pursuant to the
instructions contained in this concurrent resolution on the
budget should include $40,000,000,000 in direct fiscal
assistance provided in a one-time revenue grant to the States
and their local governments, as follows:
(1) $20,000,000,000 should be allotted amongst the States.
(2) $20,000,000,000 should be allotted for distribution to
the various units of local government within such States.
(3) Such fiscal assistance should be allotted among the
States and their units of local government based on a formula
which considers size of population and growth in the average
annual rate of unemployment during the preceding two years.

congressional budget for the United States Governments for fiscal year
2004 and including the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal year

on the table; as follows:

At the end of subtitle A of title II, insert the following:

SEC. __. POINT OF ORDER REQUIRING THAT THE AMT BE DEALT WITH
BEFORE OR SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH OTHER TAX CUTS.

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) The American taxpayers are threatened with a looming
crisis which is ignored by the President's budget and the
budget resolution before the Senate, namely that a rapidly
growing number of middle income taxpayers will be subject to
the AMT, up from 2,000,000 currently to an estimated
36,000,000 by 2010.
(2) This crisis has come about as a result of two factors--
(A) that the Federal income tax is indexed for inflation,
but the AMT is not; and
(B) that President Bush sought and obtained huge new tax
cuts in 2001, which he is now seeking to make permanent,
without providing for corresponding, permanent adjustments to
the AMT.
(3) The President and the architects of this budget
resolution refuse to address the AMT on a permanent basis
because to do so would be costly and might jeopardize their
ability to enact additional tax cuts which primarily benefit
the wealthiest taxpayers at the expense of the estimated 85
percent of families with two or more children who will
otherwise be affected by the AMT by 2010; the 43 percent of
taxpayers with annual incomes between $50,000 and $75,000 who
will otherwise be affected by the AMT by 2010; and the 80
percent of taxpayers with annual income between $75,000 and
$100,000 who will otherwise be affected by the AMT by 2010.
(4) Congress must begin to address the issue of permanent
AMT reform by creating a point of order against further tax
cuts that do not include AMT reform.
(b) In General.--It shall not be in order in the Senate to
consider any bill or joint resolution, including a
reconciliation bill or resolution, or any amendment, motion,
or conference report thereto, that would allow tax cuts
unless such bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion or
conference report thereto contains, or Congress has
previously enacted, comprehensive legislation that reforms
the alternative minimum tax to protect taxpayers with annual
incomes under $100,000.
(c) Waiver and Appeal.--This section may be waived or
suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of \3/5\
of the members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative vote of
\3/5\ of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn,
shall be required in the Senate to sustain an appeal of the
ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under this
section.
