SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The 2014, 2015, and 2016 Department of State reports
        entitled, ``Adherence to and Compliance with Arms Control,
        Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments'',
        all stated that the United States has determined that ``the
        Russian Federation is in violation of its obligations under the
        INF Treaty not to possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-
        launched cruise missile (GLCM) with a range capability of 500
        km to 5,500 km, or to possess or produce launchers of such
        missiles''.
            (2) The 2016 report also noted that ``the cruise missile
        developed by Russia meets the INF Treaty definition of a
        ground-launched cruise missile with a range capability of 500
        km to 5,500 km, and as such, all missiles of that type, and all
        launchers of the type used or tested to launch such a missile,
        are prohibited under the provisions of the INF Treaty''.
            (3) Potential consistency and compliance concerns regarding
        the INF Treaty noncompliant GLCM have existed since 2008, were
        not officially raised with the Russian Federation until 2013,
        and were not briefed to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
        (NATO) until January 2014.
            (4) The United States Government is aware of other
        consistency and compliance concerns regarding Russia actions
        vis-a-vis its INF Treaty obligations.
            (5) Since 2013, senior United States officials, including
        the President, the Secretary of State, and the Chairman of the
        Joint Chiefs of Staff have raised Russian noncompliance with
        the INF Treaty to their counterparts, but no progress has been
        made in bringing the Russian Federation back into compliance
        with the INF Treaty.
            (6) In April 2014, General Breedlove, the Supreme Allied
        Commander Europe, correctly stated, ``A weapon capability that
        violates the INF, that is introduced into the greater European
        land mass, is absolutely a tool that will have to be dealt with
        . . . It can't go unanswered.''.
            (7) The Department of Defense in its September 2013 report,
        Report on Conventional Prompt Global Strike Options if Exempt
        from the Restrictions of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces
        Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of
        Soviet Socialist Republics, stated that it has multiple
        validated military requirement gaps due to the prohibitions
        imposed on the United States as a result of its compliance with
        the INF Treaty.
            (8) It is not in the national security interests of the
        United States to be legally prohibited from developing dual-
        capable ground-launched cruise missiles with ranges between 500
        and 5,500 kilometers, while Russia makes advances in developing
        and fielding this class of weapon systems.
            (9) A material breach of the INF Treaty by the Russian
        Federation affords the United States the right to invoke such
        breach as grounds for suspending the operation of the treaty in
        whole or in part.

SEC. 4. COMPLIANCE ENFORCEMENT REGARDING RUSSIAN VIOLATIONS OF THE INF
              TREATY.

    (a) Statement of United States Policy.--It is the policy of the
United States as follows:
            (1) The actions undertaken by the Russian Federation in
        violation of the INF Treaty constitute a material breach of the
        treaty.
            (2) In light of the Russian Federation's material breach of
        the INF Treaty, the United States is legally entitled to
        suspend the operation of the INF Treaty in whole or in part for
        so long as the Russian Federation continues to be in material
        breach.
            (3) For so long as the Russian Federation remains in
        noncompliance with the INF Treaty, the United States should
        take actions to encourage the Russian Federation return to
        compliance, including by--
                    (A) providing additional funds for the capabilities
                identified in section 1243(d) of the National Defense
                Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
                92; 129 Stat. 1062);
                    (B) establishing a program of record pursuant to
                section 5 for a dual-capable road-mobile ground-
                launched cruise missile system with a maximum range of
                5,500 kilometers; and
                    (C) aggressively seeking additional missile defense
                assets in the European theater to protect United States
                and NATO forces from ground-launched missile systems of
                the Russian Federation that are in noncompliance with
                the INF Treaty.
    (b) Authorization of Additional Appropriations.--
            (1) In general.--In addition to any other amounts
        authorized to be appropriated for such purposes, there is
        authorized to be appropriated $500,000,000 for fiscal year 2018
        for--
                    (A) the development of active defenses to counter
                ground-launched missile systems with ranges between 500
                and 5,500 kilometers;
                    (B) counterforce capabilities to prevent attacks
                from these missiles;
                    (C) facilitating the acquisition and transfer to
                allied countries of missile systems with ranges between
                500 and 5,500 kilometers; and
                    (D) countervailing strike capabilities to enhance
                the capabilities of the United States identified in
                section 1243(d) of the National Defense Authorization
                Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 129 Stat.
                1062).
            (2) Development.--Of the amount authorized to be
        appropriated by paragraph (1), $100,000,000 is authorized to be
        appropriated for activities undertaken to carry out section 5,
        including with respect to research and development activities.
            (3) Offset.--Notwithstanding the amounts otherwise
        authorized to be appropriated for the National Nuclear Security
        Administration for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation for fiscal
        year 2018, such authorization of amounts is hereby reduced by

ground-launched ballistic missile with a range of between 500 and 5,500
kilometers during each of the four consecutive 90-day periods beginning
on the date of the enactment of this Act.
    (c) United States Actions.--If the determination of the President
contained in the report required to be submitted under subsection (b)
is that the Russian Federation has flight-tested, produced, or is in
possession of any missile described in subsection (b) during each of
the periods described in subsection (b), the President shall--
            (1) suspend the application of the INF Treaty with respect
        to the United States; and
            (2) notify the other state parties to the INF Treaty that
        the Russian Federation is in material breach of the INF Treaty
        and of the decision of the United States to suspend the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Radiation Experimentation
Compensation Act of 1995''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS, PURPOSE, AND APOLOGY.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) since the 1940's, the Federal Government has
        intentionally conducted secret radiation experiments in the
        United States without the informed consent or knowledge of the
        individuals on whom the experiments were performed;
            (2) such radiation experiments included eighteen subjects
        of plutonium injection experiments, the subject of a zirconium
        injection experiment, and several subjects of total body
        irradiation experiments conducted during World War II;
            (3) the Federal Government performed such experiments not
        in order to achieve medical or health benefits for the
        individuals used in the tests, but for research purposes, to
        allow Federal Government scientists and health specialists to
        study the effects of radiation on the human body;
            (4) at the time of such experiments and in the years
        following the experiments, the Federal Government failed to
        inform the individuals tested, or their families, about the
        nature and effects of the tests;
            (5) the Federal Government has harmed the subjects of such
        radiation experiments;
            (6) the Congress presumes that the exposure to radiation of
        the subjects of such experiments has generated an excess of
        cancers and other debilitating diseases and health problems for
        such subjects;
            (7) the Federal Government should recognize that the lives
        and health of the innocent individuals who were the subjects of
        such experiments were put at risk by the individuals' unknowing
        and involuntary participation in radiation experiments; and
            (8) the Federal Government should assume responsibility for
        the harm caused by its actions regarding the experiments.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to establish a
procedure to make partial restitution to the individuals described in
subsection (a) for the burdens they have borne for the Nation as a
whole, although monetary compensation can never fully compensate them.
    (c) Apology.--The Congress apologizes on behalf of the Nation to
the individuals described in subsection (a) and their families for the
hardships they have endured because of the experiments described in
subsection (a).

SEC. 3. TRUST FUND.

    (a) Establishment.--There is established in the Treasury of the
United States a trust fund to be known as the ``Radiation
Experimentation Compensation Trust Fund'' (in this Act referred to as
the ``Fund''), which shall be administered by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
    (b) Investment of Amounts in Fund.--Amounts in the Fund shall be
invested in accordance with section 9702 of title 31, United States
Code, and any interest on, and proceeds from, any such investment shall
be credited to and become a part of the Fund.
    (c) Availability of Fund.--Amounts in the Fund shall be available
only for disbursement by the Attorney General under section 5.

            (1) Time of termination.--The Fund shall terminate not
        later than the earlier of--
                    (A) the date on which the amount authorized to be
                appropriated to the Fund by subsection (e), and any
                income earned on such amount, have been expended from
                the Fund; or
                    (B) 22 years after the date of the enactment of
                this Act.
            (2) Amounts remaining in fund.--At the end of the 22-year
        period referred to in paragraph (1)(B), if all of the amounts
        in the Fund have not been expended, investments of amounts in
        the Fund shall be liquidated, the receipts of such liquidation
        shall be deposited in the Fund, and all funds remaining in the
        Fund shall be deposited in the miscellaneous receipts account
        in the Treasury.
    (e) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be
appropriated to the Fund $2,500,000. Any amount appropriated pursuant
to this subsection is authorized to remain available until expended.

    (a) In General.--On the 45th day after the date of the enactment of
this Act, any act, policy, or practice of a deficit foreign country
that adversely affects the access to such country's market of motor
vehicle parts produced by United States motor vehicle parts
manufacturers (including, but not limited to, any act, policy, or
practice utilized in such country's motor vehicle distribution system)
shall, for purposes of title III of the Trade Act of 1974, be
considered as an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country that is

Trade Representative shall immediately proceed to determine, in
accordance with section 304(a)(1)(B) of such Act, what action to take
under section 301(a) of such Act to obtain the elimination of such act,
policy, or practice.

take action referred to in section 301(c)(1)(C) of the Trade Act of
1974 with respect to an act, policy, or practice referred to in
subsection (a), the agenda for negotiations shall include--
            (1) guarantees for sales in the deficit foreign country's
        market of motor vehicle parts produced in the United States by
        United States motor vehicle parts manufacturers in an aggregate
        amount equal to the percentage of such market that would be
        held by motor vehicle parts produced by United States motor
        vehicle parts manufacturers if the unfair act, policy, or
        practice did not exist;
            (2) the elimination or modification of the aspects of the

        to the access to the foreign country's market of motor vehicle
        parts produced in the United States by United States motor
        vehicle parts manufacturers; and
            (3) the establishment of procedures for the exchange of
        information between the appropriate agencies of the United
        States and the deficit foreign country's government that will
        permit an accurate assessment of bilateral trade in motor
        vehicle parts, particularly with respect to the purchase of
        motor vehicle parts produced in the United States by United
        States motor vehicle parts manufacturers for use by foreign
        sources in the foreign country's market.
    (c) Additional Estimates and Consequential Effect.--
            (1) Estimate.--If the Trade Representative decides to take

                    (A) the percentage share of the deficit foreign
                country's market for motor vehicle parts that is
                currently accounted for by motor vehicle parts produced
                in the United States by United States motor vehicle
                parts manufacturers;
                    (B) the percentage share of the deficit foreign
                country's market for motor vehicle parts which would be
                accounted for by United States motor vehicle parts if
                an act, policy, or practice referred to in subsection
                (a) did not exist; and
                    (C) the dollar value of the difference between the
                percentage shares estimated under subparagraphs (A) and
                (B).
            (2) Subsequent action.--If the negotiations referred to in
        subsection (b) are unsuccessful, any action subsequently taken
        under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 in response to the
        deficit foreign country's acts, policies, or practices shall be
        substantially equivalent to the dollar value estimated under
        paragraph (1)(C).

    Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Secretary shall commence an investigation under section 732(a) of
the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine if imports of motor vehicle parts
into the United States that are products of any deficit foreign

importation into the United States, constitute grounds for the
imposition of antidumping duties under section 731 of such Act.

Title I:  Trade Remedy Actions
 - Declares that any act, policy, or practice of a deficit foreign country that adversely affects the access to its market of U.S. motor vehicle parts (including, but not limited to, any act, policy, or practice utilized in such country's motor vehicle distribution system) shall, for purposes of "301" action under the Trade Act of 1974, be considered as an act, policy, or practice that is unjustifiable and burdens or restricts U.S.  commerce.  Directs the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to determine what action to take under the Act to eliminate such act, policy, or practice.
Requires an agenda for negotiations with countries the USTR has taken action against to include:  (1) a certain percentage of guaranteed sales in the deficit foreign country's market of U.S. motor vehicle parts; (2) the elimination or modification of the aspects of such country's motor vehicle distribution system that act as a barrier to U.S. motor vehicle parts; and (3) the exchange between such country and the United States of information concerning bilateral trade in such parts.  Requires the USTR to make certain estimates with respect to the current percentage of such country's market for motor vehicle parts that is accounted for by U.S.  motor vehicle parts.
Requires the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to commence an antidumping duty investigation to determine if imports of motor vehicle parts from a deficit foreign country, or sales (or the likelihood of sales) of such imports, constitute grounds for the imposition of antidumping duties.
Title II:  Extension and Modification of Fair Trade in Auto Parts Act
 - Amends the Fair Trade in Auto Parts Act of 1988 to extend such Act through December 31, 1998.  Directs the Secretary, among other things, to coordinate:  (1) U.S. policy regarding auto parts and the market for auto parts by the Japanese; and (2) the sharing of data and market information among U.S.  agencies, including the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Justice, the Department of Commerce, and the Office of the USTR.

            (1) The Internet has had profound benefits for numerous
        aspects of daily life for millions of people throughout the
        United States and is increasingly vital to the economy of the
        United States.
            (2) The importance of the broadband marketplace to
        citizens, communities, and commerce warrants a thorough inquiry
        to obtain input and ideas for a variety of broadband policies
        that will promote openness, competition, innovation, and
        affordable, ubiquitous broadband service for all individuals in
        the United States.

    ``It is the policy of the United States--
            ``(1) to maintain the freedom to use for lawful purposes
        broadband telecommunications networks, including the Internet,
        without unreasonable interference from or discrimination by
        network operators, as has been the policy and history of the
        Internet and the basis of user expectations since its
        inception;

        preserve its global leadership in online commerce and
        technological innovation;
            ``(3) to preserve and promote the open and interconnected
        nature of broadband networks that enable consumers to reach,
        and service providers to offer, lawful content, applications,
        and services of their choosing, using their selection of
        devices, as long as such devices do not harm the network; and
            ``(4) to safeguard the open marketplace of ideas on the
        Internet by adopting and enforcing baseline protections to
        guard against unreasonable discriminatory favoritism for, or
        degradation of, content by network operators based upon its
        source, ownership, or destination on the Internet.''.

        this section, the Commission shall assess--
                    (A) whether broadband network providers adhere to
                the Commission's Broadband Policy Statement of August,
                2005 (FCC 05-151), including whether, consistent with
                the needs of law enforcement, such providers refrain
                from blocking, thwarting, or unreasonably interfering
                with the ability of consumers to--
                            (i) access, use, send, receive, or offer

                        broadband telecommunications or information
                        services, provided such devices do not harm the
                        network;
                    (B) whether broadband network providers add charges
                for quality of service, or other similar additional
                fees or surcharges, to certain Internet applications
                and service providers, and whether such pricing
                conflicts with the policies of the United States stated
                in section 12 of the Communications Act of 1934 (as
                added by section 3 of this Act);

                services are consistent with such policies of the
                United States;
                    (D) practices by which network providers manage or
                prioritize network traffic, including prioritization
                for emergency communications, and whether and in what
                instances such practices may be consistent with such
                policies of the United States;
                    (E) with respect to content, applications, and
                services--

                        open platform;
                            (ii) the relationship between competition
                        in the broadband Internet access market and an
                        open platform; and
                            (iii) the policy choices and results of
                        global competitors with respect to access
                        competition and an open platform;
                    (F) whether the need for enforceable rules
                governing openness, consumer rights, and consumer
                protections or prohibiting unreasonable discrimination
                is lessened if a broadband network provider provides
                significantly high bandwidth speeds to consumers; and
                    (G) the potential of policies promoting openness in
                spectrum allocation, universal service programs, and
                video franchising to expand innovation through
                protection from unreasonable interference by network
                owners of an open marketplace for speech and commerce
                in content, applications, and services.

                                               President of the Senate.

Output: Water Infrastructure Improvement Act (Sec. 3) This bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to allow municipalities to develop a plan that integrates wastewater and stormwater management. A permit for a municipal discharge under the national pollutant discharge elimination system that incorporates an integrated plan may integrate all requirements under the Act addressed in the plan, such as requirements relating to combined sewer overflows, sanitary sewer collection systems, and total maximum daily loads. A plan that is incorporated into a permit may include the implementation of green infrastructure and projects to reclaim, recycle, or reuse water. Green infrastructure includes measures that mimic natural processes to store, reuse, or reduce stormwater. Those permits may include a schedule of compliance that allows actions for meeting water quality-based effluent limitations to be implemented over more than one permit term if the compliance schedules are authorized by state water quality standards.  A municipality under an administrative order or settlement agreement may request a modification of the order or settlement based on the municipality's integrated plan. The EPA must report on each integrated plan developed and implemented through a permit, order, or judicial consent decree since June 5, 2012, including a description of the control measures, levels of control, estimated costs, and compliance schedules for the requirements implemented through such a plan. (Sec. 4) The bill establishes an Office of the Municipal Ombudsman in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide: (1) technical assistance to municipalities seeking to comply with the Clean Water Act, and (2) information to the EPA to ensure that agency policies are implemented by all EPA offices. (Sec. 5) The EPA must promote the use of green infrastructure.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Congressional Responsibility Act of
1999''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this Act is to promote compliance with Article I of
the United States Constitution, which grants legislative powers solely
to Congress. Article I ensures that Federal regulations will not take
effect unless passed by a majority of the members of the Senate and
House of Representatives and signed by the President, or that the
members of the Senate and House of Representatives override the
President's veto. This Act ends the practice whereby Congress delegates
its responsibility for making laws to unelected, unaccountable
officials of the executive branch and requires that regulations
proposed by agencies of the executive branch be affirmatively enacted
by Congress before they become effective. The Act will result in a more
democratic and accountable Congress and protect the public from
regulations for which elected, accountable officials are unwilling to
take responsibility.

SEC. 3. ENACTMENT OF AGENCY REGULATIONS.

    (a)  Congressional Approval.--A regulation shall not take effect
before the date of the enactment of a bill described in section 4(a)
comprised solely of the text of the regulation.
    (b)  Agency Report.--Whenever an agency promulgates a regulation,
the agency shall submit to each House of Congress a report containing
the text of the proposed regulation and an explanation of the proposed
regulation. The explanation shall consist of the concise general
statement of their basis and purpose required by section 553 of title
5, United States Code and such explanatory documents as are mandated by
other statutory requirements.

SEC. 4. EXPEDITED CONGRESSIONAL PROCEDURES FOR AGENCY REGULATIONS.

    (a) Introduction.--Not later than 3 legislative days after the date
on which an agency submits a report under section 3(b), the Majority
Leader of each House of Congress shall introduce (by request) a bill
comprised solely of the text of the regulation contained in the report.
If such a bill is not introduced in a House of Congress as provided in
the preceding sentence, then any Member of that House may introduce
such a bill.
    (b) Bill.--For purposes of this section, the term ``bill'' means a
bill of the two Houses of Congress, the matter after the enacting
clause of which is as follows: ``The following agency regulations are
hereby approved and shall have the force and effect of law:'' (the text
of the regulations being set forth after the semicolon).
    (c) Referral and Consideration.--(1) A bill described in subsection
(b) shall not be referred to a committee.
    (2) It is in order for any Member of the respective House to move
to proceed to the consideration of the bill. A Member may make the
motion only on the day after the calendar day on which the Member
announces to the House concerned the Member's intention to make the
motion. All points of order against the bill (and against consideration
of the bill) are waived. The motion is highly privileged in the House
of Representatives and is privileged in the Senate and is not
debatable. The motion is not subject to amendment, to a motion to
postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the consideration of other
business. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed
to or disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the
consideration of the bill is agreed to, the respective House shall
immediately proceed to consideration of the bill without intervening
motion, order, or other business, and the bill shall remain the
unfinished business of the respective House until disposed of.
    (3) Debate on the bill, and on all debatable motions and appeals in
connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than one hour, which
shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the
bill. An amendment to the bill is not in order. A motion further to
limit debate is in order and not debatable. A motion to postpone, a
motion to proceed to the consideration of other business, or a motion
to recommit the bill is not in order. A motion to reconsider the vote
by which the bill is agreed to or disagreed to is not in order.
    (4) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
application of the regulations of the Senate or the House of
Representatives, as the case may be, to the procedure relating to the
bill shall be decided without debate.
    (d) Final Passage.--A vote on final passage of a bill described in
subsection (b) shall be taken in a House of Congress on or before the
close of the 60th calendar day after the date of the introduction of
the bill in that House.
    (e) Exception.--A motion to suspend the application of subsections
(c) and (d) is in order in either House of Congress and shall be
considered as passed or agreed to by a vote of a majority of the
Members voting. Upon the passage of such a motion, the bill shall be
considered in the same manner as other bills.
    (f) Treatment if the Other House Has Acted.--(1) If, before the
passage by one House of a bill introduced in that House described in
subsection (b), that House receives from the other House a bill
described in subsection (b) comprised of the same text, then--
            (A) the bill of the other House shall not be referred to a
        committee and may not be considered in the House receiving it
        except in the case of final passage as provided in subparagraph
        (B)(ii); and
            (B) with respect to a bill described in subsection (b) of
        the House receiving the bill--
                    (i) the procedure in that House shall be the same
                as if no bill had been received from the other House;
                but
                    (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on the bill
                of the other House.
    (2) Upon disposition of the bill received from the other House, it
shall no longer be in order to consider the bill that originated in the
receiving House.
