Act''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal Government has an historic commitment to
        assisting areas of the Nation in need of developing adequate
        water supplies,
            (2) water is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive in
        many parts of the United States, which is compounded when
        multiple years of drought occur,
            (3) in most areas of the United States, farms are
        overwhelmingly the largest water consumers, and
            (4) it is in the national interest for farmers to implement
        water conservation measures which address water conservation
        needs and for the Federal Government to promote such
        conservation measures.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Dollar Bill Act of 2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Article I, section 8 of the Constitution of the United
        States provides that the Congress shall have Power to coin
        money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix
        the standard of weights and measures.
            (2) Congress effectively delegated the power to regulate
        the value of United States money and foreign money to the
        Federal Reserve System via the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
            (3) The value of the United States dollar has fallen
        dramatically relative to gold, crude oil, other real
        commodities and major foreign currencies.
            (4) The value of the United States dollar has become
        unstable and uncertain.
            (5) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        has not produced a stable and reliable value for the United
        States dollar.
            (6) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        cannot reasonably be expected to produce a stable and reliable
        value for the United States dollar.
            (7) An unstable dollar slows the growth of the economy by
        increasing the cost of capital, increasing the risks attendant
        to long-term capital investment, and increasing the effective
        rate of the corporate income tax.
            (8) An unstable dollar reduces the real earnings of
        American workers.
            (9) An unstable dollar reduces the real value of financial
        assets held by the public.
            (10) An unstable dollar reduces the real value of pension
        plans and retirement accounts upon which Americans depend for
        their security.
            (11) An unstable dollar damages the economic and political
        standing of the United States in the world community.
            (12) An unstable dollar gives rise to anxiety, uncertainty,
        and risk among the financial markets and the public.

SEC. 3. DIRECTIVES TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE
              SYSTEM.

    (a) In General.--Before the end of the 30-day period beginning on
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System shall designate a specific week (the ``Target
Week'') starting no earlier than 90 days from the date of the enactment
of this Act and ending no later than 120 days from the enactment of
this Act. After designating the Target Week, the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System shall then employ a random process to select
a specific day, hour, minute, and second during the Target Week (the
``Target Moment''), which shall not be publicly disclosed. At the
Target Moment, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
shall make the value of the U.S. dollar equal to the price of gold on
the exchange operated by the Commodities Exchange, Inc. (COMEX) of the
New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., as of the Target Moment and
maintain the value of the United States dollar within plus or minus 2
percent of such price (the ``Target Range'') thereafter.
    (b) Target.--The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
shall maintain the value of the United States dollar within the Target
Range directly, via open market operations, and not indirectly, as in
the current practice of targeting the Federal Funds rate.
    (c) Promotion of Stable and Effective Financial Markets.--The Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System shall use the banking and
bank regulatory powers of the Board to maintain and promote stable and
effective financial markets during and after the transition to a
defined value for the United States dollar.

SEC. 4. TAX DEPRECIATION.

    Effective January 1, 2013, all entities that depreciate capital
assets for tax purposes shall be entitled to 100 percent expensing of
all capital investment for tax purposes in the year that the investment
is made.

SEC. 5. DIRECTIVE TO THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE.

    In addition to the scoring that the Congressional Budget Office
will do of the tax changes provided in this Act in the normal course of
events, the Congressional Budget Office shall also calculate the impact
on Federal revenues on a present value basis. This calculation shall be
done in the manner that such calculations are done by the Social
Security Trustees, and shall take into account the following:
            (1) That first year expensing of capital investment
        accelerates, but does not change the total amount of the
        depreciation that taxpayers take based upon their investments.
            (2) Capital investments by businesses have historically
        earned much higher returns than the interest rate on government
        bonds.

SEC. 6. CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISION.

    In the event that any provisions of this Act are found to be in
conflict with those of the Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of
1978, the provisions of this Act shall supersede the provisions of such
Act to the extent of the conflict.

        ``Earnings'' and inserting ``No earnings'';
            (2) in subparagraph (A), by striking ``may receive earnings
        to be paid by the Federal Reserve bank at least once each
        calendar quarter, at a rate or rates not to exceed the general
        level of short-term interest rates'' and inserting ``may not
        receive earnings paid by the Federal Reserve bank'';
            (3) by striking subparagraph (B); and
            (4) by redesignating subparagraph (C) as subparagraph (B).
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendments made under this section shall
take effect after the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date of
the enactment of this Act.

Output: Dollar Bill Act of 2013 - Directs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) to: (1) designate a "Target Week"; (2) employ a random process to select a specific day, hour, minute, and second during such Target Week as "Target Moment" (which shall not be publicly disclosed); (3) make the value of the U.S. dollar at the Target Moment equal to the price of gold on the exchange operated by the Commodities Exchange, Inc. (COMEX) of the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc.; and (4) maintain the value of the U.S. dollar within plus or minus 2% of such price ("Target Range") thereafter.

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Incentives to Educate American
Children (I Teach) Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) An estimated 2,000,000 new teachers will be needed over
        the next decade.
            (2) Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, States must
        recruit qualified teachers by 2006, yet schools in rural areas
        and public schools with high poverty have trouble attracting
        and retaining teachers.
            (3) Fourteen percent of America's school children attend
        rural schools, and according to the Rural School and Community
        Trust 2000 report, ``Why Rural Matters'', rural education is
        crucial or very important to overall education performance in
        25 States, so recruitment and retention of teachers is
        essential.
            (4) A 2000 study by the Education Trust reports that high
        poverty schools are twice as likely not to have teachers
        certified in their fields than other schools, which highlights
        that high poverty schools will need special help to meet the
        goals of No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
            (5) The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards
        was founded in 1987, as a follow up to the landmark 1983
        report, ``A Nation at Risk'', by the Carnegie Task Force on
        Teaching. The National Board for Professional Teaching
        Standards is an independent, nonprofit, and nonpartisan
        organization the mission of which is to establish high and
        rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know
        and be able to do.
            (6) Over 16,000 teachers from all 50 States and the
        District of Columbia have completed certification by the
        National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, which
        certification is a rigorous assessment process for teachers.
            (7) Recent data from the Accomplished Teaching Validation
        Study have demonstrated that teachers who are certified by the
        National Board for Professional Teaching Standards
        significantly outperform their peers who are not National Board
        certified on 11 of 13 key measures of teaching expertise.
            (8) Teacher salaries have remained stagnant over the past
        decade, according to a study by the National Education
        Association, and \2/3\ of the States do not meet the national
        average of $40,582 for teacher salaries.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To encourage teachers, through a refundable tax credit,
        to work in public elementary and secondary schools located in
        rural areas or schools with high poverty.
            (2) To provide an additional tax credit to teachers who
        achieve certification from the National Board for Professional
        Teaching Standards in order to recruit and retain highly
        qualified teachers in public elementary and secondary schools.

SEC. 3. REFUNDABLE TAX CREDIT FOR INDIVIDUALS TEACHING IN ELEMENTARY
              AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS LOCATED IN HIGH POVERTY OR RURAL
              AREAS AND CERTIFIED TEACHERS.

    (a) In General.--Subpart C of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to refundable credits)
is amended by redesignating section 35 as section 36 and by inserting
after section 34 the following new section:

``SEC. 35. TAX CREDIT FOR INDIVIDUALS TEACHING IN ELEMENTARY AND
              SECONDARY SCHOOLS LOCATED IN HIGH POVERTY OR RURAL AREAS
              AND CERTIFIED TEACHERS.

        schools with high poverty.--In the case of an eligible teacher
        described in paragraphs (1) and (2), the applicable amount is

            ``(2) Eligible academic year.--The term `eligible academic
        year' means any academic year ending in a taxable year
        beginning after December 31, 2002.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--

                            (i) the tax imposed before such date on
                        such fuel under section 4081 of the Internal

                prescribe.

        with respect to the aviation fuel involved.
            (4) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
                    (A) Aviation fuel.--The term ``aviation fuel''

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since 2011, the terrorist group now known as the
        Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), has rapidly
        expanded, now possessing greater funding, more personnel, and
        heavier weapons than any other terrorist force.
            (2) ISIL has threatened to continue attacking United States
        persons and interests and has an apocalyptic vision for a
        larger confrontation with the United States and its allies in
        the Middle East.
            (3) According to the United States intelligence community,
        approximately 20,000 to 30,000 ISIL fighters operate in Iraq
        and Syria, an estimated 3,000 of which are believed to have
        western passports.
            (4) ISIL finances itself through looting, smuggling, taxes,
        oil sales, kidnapping, and human trafficking.
            (5) According to United States officials, ISIL captured
        approximately 1,500 Humvees, a number of other modern armored
        vehicles and transport trucks, over 50 long-range Global
        Positioning System (GPS)-guided artillery pieces, a substantial
        number of artillery shells, a large quantity of small arms,
        approximately 4,000 heavy machine guns, and other weapons from
        the Iraqi Security Forces in June 2014, and has also reportedly
        captured a number of other weapons and vehicles from Bashar al-
        Assad's forces in Syria.
            (6) The rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in
        Iraq caused by ISIL advances in Iraq and Syria has resulted in
        approximately 1,500,000 refugees and internally displaced
        people from Syria and Iraq taking refuge in the Iraqi Kurdistan
        region. The Kurdistan Regional Government is facing a
        humanitarian and budget crisis while defending itself from
        ISIL.
            (7) The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is the
        democratically elected government of the Kurdistan Region in
        Iraq, and Iraqi Kurds have been a reliable and stable partner
        of the United States.
            (8) The Iraqi constitution guarantees the right of Iraqi
        regions, such as Iraqi Kurdistan, to maintain ``internal
        security forces for the region such as police, security forces,
        and guards of the region''.
            (9) The Kurdish Peshmerga forces are officially organized
        under the Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs and commanded by the
        Minister of Peshmerga, who reports to the President of the
        Kurdistan Regional Government.
            (10) ISIL has positioned its forces along a 650-mile border
        with the Kurdistan Regional Government's Peshmerga forces.
            (11) ISIL has employed captured armored vehicles, long-
        range artillery, and heavy weapons in attacking thinly
        stretched Kurdish forces along the border.
            (12) United States airstrikes against ISIL targets have
        helped stall the terrorist organization's advance on territory
        held by Kurdish forces, but have not proven to be militarily
        decisive against ISIL.
            (13) The United States and its allies have provided the
        resupply of various small arms and training to Peshmerga forces
        since June 2014.
            (14) Such resupply efforts, to comply with United States
        law, must be approved and coordinated through the Government of
        Iraq. In the initial phase of the resupply effort, the
        Government of Iraq constrained and delayed the emergency supply
        of weapons to the Kurdistan Regional Government.
            (15) The Peshmerga forces lack battle-ready armored
        vehicles and the ability to take significant offensive action
        against ISIL forces, leading to requests for such assistance.
            (16) Armored vehicles, anti-armor weapons, long-range
        artillery, and other weapons are consistent with the Kurdistan
        Regional Government's constitutional right to defend itself
        against the clear and present danger posed by ISIL.
            (17) A strong Peshmerga force is essential to countering
        the ISIL threat to Iraq, the region, and United States
        interests.
            (18) The longer ISIL's sanctuary remains largely
        unchallenged, the more time it will have to reinforce its
        positions, and plan attacks against United States interests.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) defeating the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant
        (ISIL) is critical to maintaining a unified Iraq in which all
        faiths and ethnicities are afforded equal protection and full
        integration into the Iraqi government and society;
            (2) the people of Kurdistan face an urgent and deadly
        threat from ISIL which the Iraqi Security Forces, of which the
        Peshmerga are a component, are currently unable to match in
        armaments;
            (3) any outstanding issues between the Government of Iraq
        and the Kurdistan Regional Government should be resolved by the
        two parties expeditiously to allow for a resumption of normal
        relations; and
            (4) ISIL's recent advances and continued growth present an
        imminent threat to Iraqi Kurdistan, the rest of Iraq and the
        Middle East, and international security.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It shall be the policy of the United States to directly provide the
Kurdistan Regional Government with advanced conventional weapons,
training, and defense services, on an emergency and temporary basis, to
more effectively partner with the United States and other international
coalition members to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant
(ISIL).

SEC. 4. TEMPORARY EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION OF DEFENSE ARTICLES, DEFENSE
