either House to change those rules (so far as they relate to
that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same
extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.
TITLE III--SENSE OF THE SENATE
SEC. 301. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON FEDERAL EMPLOYEE PAY.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) Members of the uniformed services and civilian
employees of the United States make significant contributions
to the general welfare of the Nation.
(2) Increases in the pay of members of the uniformed
services and of civilian employees of the United States have
not kept pace with increases in the overall pay levels of
workers in the private sector, so that there now exists--
(A) a 32 percent gap between compensation levels of
Federal civilian employees and compensation levels of
private sector workers; and
(B) an estimated 10 percent gap between
compensation levels of members of the uniformed
services and compensation levels of private sector
workers.
(3) The President's budget proposal for fiscal year 2004
includes an average 4.1 percent pay raise for military
personnel.
(4) The Office of Management and Budget has requested that
Federal agencies plan their fiscal year 2004 budgets with a 2
percent pay raise for civilian Federal employees.
(5) In almost every year during the past two decades, there
have been equal adjustments in the compensation of members of
the uniformed services and the compensation of civilian
employees of the United States.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that rates
of compensation for civilian employees of the United States should be
adjusted at the same time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of
compensation for members of the uniformed services.
SEC. 302. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON TRIBAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) More than 30,000 full- and part-time Native American
students from 250 federally recognized tribes nationwide attend
tribal colleges and Universities, a majority of whom are first-
generation college students.
(2) The colleges and universities are located in rural and
isolated areas and are often the only accredited institutions
of higher education in their service area. While the Tribal
College Act provides funding solely for Indian students, the
colleges serve students of all ages, about 20 percent of whom
are non-Indian. With rare exception, tribal colleges and
universities do not receive operating funds from the States for
these non-Indian State resident students. Yet, if these same
students attended any other public institution in their States,
the State would provide basic operating funds to that
institution.
(3) While Congress has been increasing the annual
appropriations for tribal colleges in recent years, the
President's fiscal year 2004 budget recommends a $4,000,000
decrease in institutional operating funds. The combination of
annual increases in enrollments, reduced Federal funding, and
the addition of two new tribal colleges would result in a
devastating decrease in funding of $540 per student below the
fiscal year 2003 estimate.
(4) Despite a $2,000,000 increase in fiscal year 2003 for
basic institutional operating budgets of the reservation-based
tribal colleges, the per Indian student count (ISC) is only $30
more than in fiscal year 2002, or $3,946, still less than \2/3\
of the $6,000 authorized.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) this resolution recognizes the funding challenges faced
by tribal colleges and assumes that priority consideration will
be provided to them through funding through the Tribally
Controlled College or University Assistance Act, the Equity in
Educational Land Grant Status Act, title III of the Higher
Education Act, and the National Science Foundation Tribal
College Program; and
(2) such priority consideration reflects Congress' intent
to continue to work toward statutory Federal funding goals for
the tribal colleges and universities.
SEC. 303. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE 504 SMALL BUSINESS CREDIT
PROGRAM.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) Small businesses play a critical role in our Nation and
our economy and the Federal Government assists that role by
providing small businesses with loans and loan guarantees.
(2) Since the enactment of the Federal Credit Reform Act of
1990, the Small Business Administration and the Office of
Management and Budget have repeatedly overestimated the subsidy
cost of the Small Business Administration's 7(a) and 504 credit
programs. Those overestimates have resulted in borrowers and
lenders having to pay higher than necessary fees to participate
in those programs.
(3) Last year, in response to bipartisan pressure from the
Senate Budget and Small Business Committees, the administration
developed a new econometric model to improve the accuracy of
its estimates of the cost of the 7(a) program. Consistent with
claims by the Senate Budget and Small Business Committees, that
effort resulted in the administration lowering the estimated
subsidy cost of the 7(a) program by an astounding 40 percent in
2003, allowing the Federal Government to guarantee an
additional $3,300,000,000 in small business loans this year
alone.
(4) Notwithstanding past assurances, the administration,
however, has failed to begin work on an econometric model for
the 504 small business credit program, despite similar, chronic
problems with estimates of that program's costs.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the performance of the SBA and OMB in administering the
Federal Credit Reform Act for the 504 small business credit
program remains unsatisfactory;
(2) the administration should develop an econometric model
for the 504 program for use in the fiscal year 2004
appropriations cycle; and
(3) the Office of Management and Budget should report to
the Budget and Small Business Committees on the progress of
this work by no later than June 2003.
SEC. 304. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING PELL GRANTS.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) Public investment in higher education yields a return
of several dollars for each dollar invested.
(2) Higher education promotes economic opportunity.
(3) For a generation, the Federal Pell Grant has served as
an effective means of providing access to higher education.
(4) Over the past decade, the Pell Grant has failed to keep
pace with inflation, and over the past 25 years, the value of
the average Pell Grant has decreased substantially.
(5) Grant aid as a portion of student aid has fallen
significantly over the past 5 years.
(6) The percentage of freshmen attending public and private
4-year institutions from families whose income is below the
national median has fallen since 1981.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
levels in this resolution assume that--
(1) within the discretionary allocation provided to the
Committee on Appropriations, the maximum Pell Grant award
should be raised to the maximum extent practicable, and funding
for the Pell Grant program should be higher than the level
requested by the President; and
(2) to the maximum extent practicable, Congress should seek
to increase the maximum individual Federal Pell Grant award to
$9,000 by fiscal year 2010.
SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NATIONAL GUARD.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) The Army National Guard relies heavily upon thousands
of full-time employees, Active Guard/Reserves and Military
Technicians, to ensure unit readiness throughout the Army
National Guard.
(2) These employees perform vital day-to-day functions,
ranging from equipment maintenance to leadership and staff
roles, that allow the National Guard to dedicate drill weekends
and annual active duty training of part-time personnel to
preparation for the National Guard's war fighting and peacetime
missions.
(3) The role of full-time National Guard personnel is
especially important as tens of thousands of our National Guard
and Reserve forces are being mobilized for the ongoing fight
against terrorism and in preparation for a possible war with
Iraq.
(4) When the ability to provide sufficient Active Guard/
Reserves and Military Technicians end strength is reduced, unit
readiness, as well as quality of life for soldiers and
families, is degraded.
(5) The Army National Guard, with agreement from the
Department of Defense, requires a minimum essential requirement
of 25,286 Active Guard/Reserves and 26,189 Military
Technicians.
(6) The fiscal year 2004 budget request for the Army
National Guard includes the minimum required end strengths, but
provides resources sufficient for only approximately 24,562
Active Guard/Reserves and 25,702 Military Technicians, funding
shortfalls of $51,200,000 and $29,300,000, respectively.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate that the
functional totals in this resolution assume that the Department of
Defense will give priority to fully funding the Active Guard/Reserves
and Military Technicians at least at the minimum required levels.
SEC. 306. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
CIVIL SUPPORT TEAMS.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) The emerging chemical, biological, and other threats of
the 21st century present new challenges to our military and to
local first responders.
(2) Local first responders are on the front lines of
combating terrorism and responding to other large-scale
incidents.
(3) The National Guard's Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil
Support Teams (WMD-CSTs) play a vital role in assisting local
first responders in investigating and combating these new
threats.
(4) The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks emphasize the
need to have full-time WMD-CSTs in each State.
(5) There are currently 32 full-time and 23 part-time WMD-
CSTs.
(6) Section 1403 of Public Law 107-314, the Bob Stump
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003,
requires the Secretary of Defense to establish an additional 23
WMD-CSTs and that at least one team be located in each State
and territory of the United States.
(7) The President's fiscal year 2004 budget request
includes no funding for these additional WMD-CSTs.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the functional totals in this resolution assume that
the Department of Defense should give priority to fully
implementing section 1403 of Public Law 107-314, the Bob Stump
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003; and
(2) the Department should increase its full-time manning
requirements to include the 506 additional full-time National
Guard personnel that will be needed to man the 23 additional
WMD-CSTs.
SEC. 307. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON EMERGENCY AND DISASTER ASSISTANCE FOR
LIVESTOCK AND AGRICULTURE PRODUCERS.
(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) Significant portions of the United States suffered
through severe drought conditions in 2000 and 2001.
(2) The economic effects of drought are long-term and
widespread.
(3) Current drought indices predict that the drought will
continue through 2003.
(4) Congress has a history of providing financial
assistance to agricultural and livestock producers for losses
incurred due to drought.
(5) Emphasis must be placed on planning efforts that will
mitigate the negative effects of drought.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
Senate--
(1) develop a long-term drought plan that effectively
recognizes the reoccurring nature of drought cycles and
adequately support emergency and disaster assistance to
livestock and agricultural producers hurt by drought; and
(2) establish an agricultural reserve to fund the
activities in paragraph (1).
