that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to draw broad

used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in
crime.

of determining which types, makes or models of firearms are used
for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute a
random sample and should not be considered representative of the
larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset of

sell the National Aeronautics and Space Administration-owned property
on the Camp Parks Military Reservation, Alameda County, California.
Sec.  628. (a) In General.--The President of the United States
through his designee the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration and in consultation with other Federal agencies
shall develop a national aeronautics policy to guide the aeronautics
programs of the Administration through 2020.
(b) Content.--At a minimum, the national aeronautics policy shall
describe--
(1) the priority areas of research for aeronautics through
fiscal year 2011;
(2) the basis on which and the process by which priorities for
ensuing fiscal years will be selected;
(3) the facilities and personnel needed to carry out the
program through fiscal year 2011; and
(4) the budget assumptions on which the national aeronautics
policy is based.
(c) Considerations.--In developing the national aeronautics policy,
the President shall consider the following questions, which shall be
discussed in the policy statement--
(1) the extent to which NASA should focus on long-term, high-
risk research or more incremental research or both and the expected
impact on the U.S. aircraft and airline industries of those
decisions;
(2) the extent to which NASA should address military and
commercial needs;
(3) how NASA will coordinate its aeronautics program with other
Federal agencies; and
(4) the extent to which NASA will fund university research and
the expected impact of that funding on the supply of U.S. workers
for the aeronautics industry.
(d) Consultation.--In developing the national aeronautics policy,
the Administrator shall consult widely with academic and industry
experts and with other Federal agencies. The Administrator may enter
into an arrangement with the National Academy of Sciences to help
develop the national aeronautics policy.
(e) Schedule.--The Administrator shall submit the new national
aeronautics policy to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
and to the House Committee on Science and the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Science, and Transportation within one year of enactment of
this Act. The Administrator shall make available to the Congress any
study done by a non-governmental entity that was used in the
development of the national aeronautics policy.
Sec. 629. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or treaty,
none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available under this
Act or any other Act may be expended or obligated by a department,
agency, or instrumentality of the United States to pay administrative
expenses or to compensate an officer or employee of the United States
in connection with requiring an export license for the export to Canada
of components, parts, accessories or attachments for firearms listed in
Category I, section 121.1 of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations
(International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it
existed on April 1, 2005) with a total value not exceeding $500
wholesale in any transaction, provided that the conditions of
subsection (b) of this section are met by the exporting party for such
articles.
(b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export license--
(1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any Shipper's
Export Declaration or notification letter required by law, or from
being otherwise eligible under the laws of the United States to
possess, ship, transport, or export the articles enumerated in
subsection (a); and
(2) does not permit the export without a license of--
(A) fully automatic firearms and components and parts for
such firearms, other than for end use by the Federal
Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of Canada;
(B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete
breech mechanisms for any firearm listed in Category I, other
than for end use by the Federal Government, or a Provincial or
Municipal Government of Canada; or
(C) articles for export from Canada to another foreign
destination.
(c) In accordance with this section, the District Directors of
Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or temporary export
without a license of any unclassified articles specified in subsection
(a) to Canada for end use in Canada or return to the United States, or
temporary import of Canadian-origin items from Canada for end use in
the United States or return to Canada for a Canadian citizen.
(d) The President may require export licenses under this section on
a temporary basis if the President determines, upon publication first
in the Federal Register, that the Government of Canada has implemented
or maintained inadequate import controls for the articles specified in
subsection (a), such that a significant diversion of such articles has
and continues to take place for use in international terrorism or in
the escalation of a conflict in another nation. The President shall
terminate the requirements of a license when reasons for the temporary
requirements have ceased.
Sec. 630. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no
department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving
appropriated funds under this Act or any other Act shall obligate or
expend in any way such funds to pay administrative expenses or the
compensation of any officer or employee of the United States to deny
any application submitted pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B) and
qualified pursuant to 27 CFR Sec. 478.112 or .113, for a permit to
import United States origin ``curios or relics'' firearms, parts, or
ammunition.
Sec. 631. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used
to include in any new bilateral or multilateral trade agreement the
text of--
(1) paragraph 2 of article 16.7 of the United States-Singapore
Free Trade Agreement;
(2) paragraph 4 of article 17.9 of the United States-Australia
Free Trade Agreement; or
(3) paragraph 4 of article 15.9 of the United States-Morocco
Free Trade Agreement.
Sec. 632. Of the funds appropriated to the Federal Trade Commission
by this Act, not less than $1,000,000 shall be used by the Commission
to conduct an immediate investigation into nationwide gasoline prices
in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: Provided, That the investigation
shall include: (1) any evidence of price-gouging by companies with
total United States wholesale sales of gasoline and petroleum
distillates for calendar 2004 in excess of $500,000,000 and by any
retail distributor of gasoline and petroleum distillates against which
multiple formal complaints (that identify the location of a particular
retail distributor and provide contact information for the complainant)
of price-gouging were filed in August or September, 2005, with a
Federal or State consumer protection agency; (2) a comparison of, and
an explanation of the reasons for changes in, profit levels of such
companies during the 12-month period ending on August 31, 2005, and
their profit levels for the month of September, 2005, including
information for particular companies on a basis that does not permit
the identification of any company to which the information relates; (3)
a summary of tax expenditures (as defined in section 3(3) of the
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C.
622(3)) for such companies; (4) the effects of increased gasoline
prices and gasoline price-gouging on economic activity in the United
States; and (5) the overall cost of increased gasoline prices and
gasoline price-gouging to the economy, including the impact on
consumers' purchasing power in both declared State and National
disaster areas and elsewhere: Provided further, That, in conducting its
investigation, the Commission shall treat as evidence of price-gouging
any finding that the average price of gasoline available for sale to
the public in September, 2005, or thereafter in a market area located
in an area designated as a State or National disaster area because of
Hurricane Katrina, or in any other area where price-gouging complaints
have been filed because of Hurricane Katrina with a Federal or State
consumer protection agency, exceeded the average price of such gasoline
in that area for the month of August, 2005, unless the Commission finds
substantial evidence that the increase is substantially attributable to
additional costs in connection with the production, transportation,
delivery, and sale of gasoline in that area or to national or
international market trends: Provided further, That in any areas of
markets in which the Commission determines price increases are due to
factors other than the additional costs, it shall also notify the
appropriate State agency of its findings: Provided further, That the
Commission shall provide information on the progress of the
investigation to the Senate and House Appropriations Committees, the
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and the
House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce every 30 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, shall provide those Committees
a written interim report 90 days after such date, and shall transmit a
final report to those Committees, together with its findings and
recommendations, no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of
this Act: Provided further, That the Commission shall transmit
recommendations, based on its findings, to the Congress for any
legislation necessary to protect consumers from gasoline price-gouging
in both State and National disaster areas and elsewhere: Provided
further, That chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code, does not
apply to the collection of information for the investigation required
by this section: Provided further, That if, during the investigation,
the Commission obtains evidence that a person may have violated a
criminal law, the Commission may transmit that evidence to appropriate
Federal or State authorities: Provided further, That nothing in this
section affects any other authority of the Commission to disclose
information.

Sec. 634. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used
to send or otherwise pay for the attendance of more than 50 employees
of agencies or departments of the United States Government who are
stationed in the United States, at any single international conference
occurring outside the United States, unless the Secretary of State
determines that such attendance is in the national interest: Provided,
That for purposes of this section the term ``international conference''
shall mean a conference attended by representatives of the United
States Government and representatives of foreign governments,
international organizations, or nongovernmental organizations.
Sec. 635. (a) Modification of Responsibilities.--Notwithstanding
any provision of section 1238 of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense
