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 this section as the ``COPS
program''), State and local law enforcement officers have
succeeded in dramatically reducing violent crime;
[[Page S2749]]
(3) 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.'';
(4) 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.'';
(5) 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.'';
(6) a 2003 study of the 44 largest metropolitan police
departments found that 27 of them have reduced force levels;
(7) shortages of officers and increased homeland security
duties has forced many local police agencies to rely on
overtime and abandon effective, preventative policing
practices. And, as a result police chiefs from around the
nation are reporting increased gang activity and other
troubling crime indicators,
(8) 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;
(9) In addition, experts at the Brookings Institute have
concluded that community policing programs are critical to
our success in the war against terrorism.
(10) the continuation and full funding of the COPS program
through fiscal year 2010 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) Congress appropriated $928,912,000 for the COPS
program for fiscal year 2003, $756,283,000 for fiscal year
2004, and $499,364,000 for fiscal year 2005, and (12) the
President requested $117,781, 000 for the COPS program for
fiscal year 2006, $381,583,000 less than the amount
appropriated for fiscal year 2004.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that the levels in this resolution assume that an increase of
$1,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2006 for the Department of
Justice's community oriented policing program will be
provided without reduction and consistent with previous
appropriated and authorized levels.

SEC. ___. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING 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) without structural reform, the Social Security system,
beginning in 2018, will pay out more in benefits than it will
collect in taxes;
(D) without structural reform, the Social Security trust
fund will be exhausted in 2042, and Social Security tax
revenue in 2042 will only cover 73 percent of promised
benefits, and will decrease to 68 percent by 2078;
(E) without structural reform, future Congresses may have
to raise payroll taxes 50 percent over the next 75 years to
pay full benefits on time, resulting in payroll tax rates of
as much as 16.9 percent by 2042 and 18.3 percent by 2078;
(F) 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 2004 dollars or
$3,700,000,000,000 measured in present value terms; and
(G) absent structural reforms, spending on Social Security
will increase from 4.3 percent of gross domestic product in
2004 to 6.6 percent in 2078; and
(5) the Congressional Budget Office, the Government
Accountability 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 or less spending on other
federal programs.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that--
(1) the President, the Congress, and the American people
including seniors, workers, women, minorities, and disabled
persons should work together at the earliest opportunity to
enact legislation to achieve a solvent and permanently
sustainable Social Security system;
(2) Social Security reform--
(A) must protect current and near retirees from any changes
to Social Security benefits;
(B) must reduce the pressure on future taxpayers and on
other budgetary priorities;
(C) must provide benefit levels that adequately reflect
individual contributions to the Social Security system; and
(D) must preserve and strengthen the safety net for
vulnerable populations including the disabled and survivors;
and
(3) the Senate should honor section 13301 of the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990.

SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING CHILDREN WITH HIV/
AIDS.
(a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
(1) Approximately 2,200,000 million children under the age
of 15 are infected with the HIV virus, and 1,900 children
worldwide are infected with HIV each day.
(2) In 2004, it was estimated that of the 4,900,000 people
newly infected with HIV, 640,000 were children. The vast
majority of them were infected through mother-to-child
transmission, which includes transmission at any point during
pregnancy, labor, delivery, or breastfeeding.
(3) Effective implementation of prevention of mother-to-
child transmission of HIV and care and treatment services in
the United States has resulted in the near elimination (less
than 2 percent transmission) of mother-to-child transmission
of HIV/AIDS. By contrast, in resource-poor settings less than
10 percent of pregnant women living with HIV have access to
services to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
(4) Currently, more than 4,000,000 children worldwide are
estimated to have died from AIDS.
(5) In 2004, approximately 510,000 children died of AIDS,
resulting in almost 1,400 AIDS deaths in children per day.
(6) According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/
AIDS, if current trends continue by 2010, 3,500,000 of the
45,000,000 people infected worldwide will be children under
the age of 15.
(7) At least a quarter of newborns infected with HIV die
before the age of one, up to 60 percent die before reaching
their second birthday, and overall, most die before they are
5 years of age.
(8) HIV threatens to reverse the child survival and
developmental gains of past decades.
(9) Research and practice have shown conclusively that
timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy to infants or
young children with HIV/AIDS can preserve or restore their
immune functions, promote normal growth and development, and
prolong life.
(10) There is clear evidence in resource-rich countries
that antiretroviral treatment in children is very effective.
For example, many children who were infected through mother-
to-child transmission in the United States are living with
HIV as young adults.
(11) Few programs specifically target the treatment of
children with HIV/AIDS in resource-poor countries due to
significant challenges in diagnosing and treating infants and
young children with HIV. Such challenges include difficulty
in diagnosing HIV in infants less than 18 months of age, lack
of appropriate and affordable pediatric HIV/AIDS medicines,
and lack of trained health care providers.
(12) Children are not small adults and treating them as
such can seriously jeopardize their health.
(13) Children should not be forgotten in the fight against
the global HIV/AIDS pandemic.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that this resolution assumes that--
(1)(A) assistance should be provided to support the
expansion of programs to prevent
[[Page S2750]]
mother-to-child transmission of HIV as an integral component
of a comprehensive approach to fighting HIV/AIDS;
(B) to facilitate the expansion described in subparagraph
(A)--
(i) more resources are needed for infrastructure
improvements and education and training of health care
workers; and
(ii) better linkages between mother-to-child transmission
and broader care and treatment programs should be created for
women, children, and families who are in need of access to
expanded services;
(2) assistance should be provided to support the care and
treatment of children with HIV/AIDS, including the
development and purchase of high-quality, low-cost pediatric
formulations of antiretroviral drugs and other HIV/AIDS
medicines, including fixed-dose combinations, pediatric-
specific training to doctors and other health-care personnel,
and the purchase of pediatric-appropriate technologies;
(3) all antiretroviral drugs need precise and simplified
dosing guidelines for all pediatric age groups, including
infants, and all HIV/AIDS drugs including those developed for
children should be made available at drastically-reduced
prices in resource-poor countries;
(4) health care sites in resource-poor countries need
better diagnostic capacity and appropriate supplies to
provide care and treatment services for children, and
additional training is required to ensure that all health
care providers can administer specialized care services for
children, including psychosocial support; and
(5) pediatric care and treatment should be integrated into
the existing health care framework so children and families
can be treated simultaneously.

ability of the United States to maintain a stable dollar
policy.

SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING TAX RELIEF TO
ENCOURAGE CHARITABLE GIVING.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
(1) the CARE Act, which represents a part of the
President's faith-based initiative, will spur charitable
giving and assist faith-based and community organizations
that serve the needy;
(2) more than 1,600 small and large organizations from
around the Nation have endorsed the CARE Act, and in the
108th Congress the CARE Act had bipartisan support and was
sponsored by 23 Senators;
(3) although the CARE Act passed the Senate on April 9,
2003, by a vote of 95 to 5, and the House of Representatives
passed companion legislation on September 17, 2003, by a vote
of 408 to 13, a conference committee on the CARE Act was
never formed and a final version was not passed in the 108th
Congress; and
(4) charities around the Nation continue to struggle, and
the passage of the incentives for charitable giving contained
in the CARE Act would provide significant dollars in private
and public sector assistance to those in need.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that a relevant portion of amounts in this budget resolution
providing for tax relief should be used--
(1) to provide the 86,000,000 Americans who do not itemize
deductions an opportunity to deduct charitable contributions;
(2) to provide incentives for individuals to give tax free
contributions from individual retirement accounts for
charitable purposes;
(3) to provide incentives for an estimated $2,000,000,000
in food donations from farmers, restaurants, and corporations
to help the needy, an equivalent of 878,000,000 meals for
hungry Americans over 10 years;
(4) to provide at least 300,000 low-income, working
Americans the opportunity to build assets through individual
development accounts or IDAs, which can be used to purchase a
home, expand educational opportunity, or to start a small
business; and
(5) to provide incentives for corporate charitable
contributions.

SEC. . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE REDUCTION OF CHILD
POVERTY.
(a) Findings--The Senate makes the following findings:
1. Nearly 13 million American children younger than 18--
nearly one in five--live below the poverty line;
2. The parents of poor children are playing by the rules
and still can't get ahead since seven out of ten poor
children live in a working family, and almost one poor child
in three lives with a full-time year-round worker;
3. Poor children are at least twice as likely as non-poor
children to suffer stunted growth or lead poisoning, or to be
kept back in school; poor children score significantly lower
on reading, math, and vocabulary tests when compared with
otherwise-similar non-poor children; and more than half of
poor Americans experience serious deprivations during the
year, including lack of food, utility shutoffs, crowded or
substandard housing, or lack of a stove or refrigerator.
4. Eighteen percent of children are hungry or on the verge
of hunger--largely because they are living in poverty. Hungry
children lack nutrients vital to healthy brain development;
have difficulty focusing their attention and concentrating in
school; often have greater emotional and behavioral problems;
have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to
infections, including anemia; and often suffer from obesity;
5. Child poverty has risen significantly--by 1.3 million--
since 2000.
6. The poverty rate for children in the United States is
substantially higher than that of other major industrialized
nations.
7. America's children are more likely to live in poverty
than Americans in any other age group.
8. African-American and Latino children are much more
likely to live in poverty than white children. One third of
African-American children are low-income, as are nearly a
third of Latino children.
9. Great Britain made a public commitment to cut child
poverty in half in 10 years, and end child poverty by 2020,
and they have already successfully lifted 2 million children
out of poverty.
10. Poverty is a moral issue and the Congress has a moral
obligation to address it.
(b) Sense of the Senate--It is the sense of the Senate that
the functional totals in this resolution assume that the
United States shall set a national goal of cutting child
poverty in half within a decade, and eliminating it entirely
as soon as possible thereafter; that funds should be raised
through a one percent surtax on income over $1 million for
joint filers, or over $500,000 for single filers to help
achieve that goal; that the revenue raised is to be
designated to a child poverty elimination fund and overseen
by a child poverty elimination board, which shall design the
poverty reduction program, set annual child poverty reduction
targets, and recommend allocation of funds.

SEC. __. UNITED STATES RESPONSE TO GLOBAL HIV/AIDS,
TUBERCULOSIS, AND MALARIA.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The HIV/AIDS pandemic has reached staggering
proportions. At the end of 2004, an estimated 40,000,000
people were infected with HIV or living with AIDS. HIV/AIDS
is estimated to kill 3,000,000 men, women and children each
year. Each year, there are estimated to be 5,000,000 new HIV
infections.
(2) The United States was the first, and remains the
largest, contributor to the Global Fund.
(3) The Presidential Administration of George W. Bush
(referred to in this section
[[Page S2753]]
as the ``Administration'') has supported language in the
Global HIV/AIDS authorization bill that links United States
contributions to the Global Fund to the contributions of
other donors, permitting the United States to provide 33
percent of all donations, which would match contributions on
a one-to-two basis.
(4) Congress has provided one-third of all donations to the
Global Fund every year of the Fund's existence.
(5) For fiscal year 2006, the Global Fund estimates it will
renew $2,400,000,000 worth of effective programs that are
already operating on the ground, and the Administration and
Fund Board have said that renewals of existing grants should
receive priority funding.
(6) The Global Fund is an important component of United
States efforts to combat AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and
supports approximately 300 projects in 130 countries.
(7) For fiscal year 2006, the President has requested
$300,000,000 for the United States contribution to the Global
Fund.
(8) Through a mid-year review process, Congress and the
Administration will assess contributions to date and
anticipated contributions to the Global Fund, and ensure that
United States contributions, at year-end, are at the
appropriate one-to-two ratio.
(9) Congress and the Administration will monitor
contributions to the Global Fund to ensure that United States
contributions do not exceed one-third of the Global Fund's
revenues.
(10) In order to cover one-third of renewals during fiscal
year 2006, and to maintain the one-to-two funding match, the
United States will need to contribute an additional
$500,000,000 above the President's request for the Global
Fund for fiscal year 2006 to keep good programs funded at a
level of $800,000,000.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that the assumptions underlying this budget resolution assume
that none of the offsets needed to provide $800,000,000 for
the Global Fund will come from international humanitarian
assistance programs.
