SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Drug Abuse Treatment on Demand
Assistance Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) According to the Department of Health and Human
        Services, each year drug and alcohol related abuse kills more
        than 120,000 Americans.
            (2) In 1999, an estimated 14,800,000 Americans were current
        illicit drug users.
            (3) States across the country are faced with increasing
        demands for drug treatment programs.
            (4) In addition, methamphetamine abuse continues to be on
        the rise. Methamphetamine abuse accounts for 5.1 percent of all
        treatment admissions, which was the fourth highest percentage
        after cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
            (5) Current statistics show that methamphetamine use is
        increasing rapidly especially among the nation's youth.
            (6) There are 2,700,000 substance abusers in America in
        need of treatment.
            (7) This number exceeds the 2,137,100 persons receiving
        treatment.
            (8) Recent reports indicate that every additional dollar
        invested in substance abuse treatment saves taxpayers $7.46 in
        societal costs.
            (9) In California, the average cost to taxpayers per
        inmate, per year, is $23,406 versus $4,300 for a full treatment
        program.
            (10) Drugs and alcohol cost taxpayers nearly
        $276,000,000,000 annually in preventable health care costs,
        extra law enforcement, auto crashes, crime and lost
        productivity versus $3,100,000,000 appropriated for substance
        abuse-related activities in fiscal year 2000.
            (11) Nationwide, 59 percent of police chiefs believe that
        drug offenders should be treated rather than incarcerated.
            (12) Current treatment on demand programs such as those in
        San Francisco and Baltimore focus on the specific drug abuse
        needs of the local community and should be encouraged.
            (13) Many States have developed programs designed to treat
        non-violent drug offenders and this should be encouraged.
            (14) Drug treatment prevention programs must be increased
        in order to effectively address the needs of those actively
        seeking treatment before they commit a crime.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    It is the purpose of this Act to--
            (1) assist individuals who voluntarily seek the services of
        drug abuse treatment programs by providing them with treatment
        on demand;
            (2) provide assistance to help eliminate the backlog of
        individuals on waiting lists to obtain drug treatment for their
        addictions;
            (3) enhance public safety by reducing drug-related crimes
        and preserving jails and prison cells for serious and violent
        criminal offenders; and
            (4) assist States in the implementation of alternative drug
        treatment programs that divert non-violent drug offenders to
        treatment programs that are more suited for the rehabilitation
        of drug offenders.

    ``(B) If the Commissioner of Social Security does not concur with
the investment decisions of the Managing Trustee, or believes that
other investment strategies are appropriate, the Commissioner shall
promptly so inform the President and Congress in writing.
    ``(3) In investing contributions made to the Trust Funds, the
Managing Trustee may not invest such contributions in private financial
markets. Neither the Managing Trustee nor any other officer or employee
of the Federal Government shall direct private pension plans as to what
type of investments to make or in which financial markets to invest.
    ``(4) The purposes for which obligations of the United States may
be issued under chapter 31 of title 31, United States Code, are hereby
extended to authorize the issuance at par of public-debt obligations
for purchase by the Trust Funds. Such obligations issued for purchase
by the Trust Funds shall have maturities fixed with due regard for the
needs of the Trust Funds and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the
average market yield (computed by the Managing Trustee on the basis of
market quotations as of the end of the calendar month next preceding
the date of such issue) on all marketable interest-bearing obligations
of the United States then forming a part of the public debt which are
not due or callable until after the expiration of four years from the
end of such calendar month; except that where such average market yield
is not a multiple of one-eighth of 1 percent, the rate of interest of
such obligations shall be the multiple of one-eighth of 1 percent
nearest such market yield. Each obligation issued for purchase by the
Trust Funds under this subsection shall be evidenced by a paper
instrument in the form of a bond, note, or certificate of indebtedness
issued by the Secretary of the Treasury setting forth the principal
amount, date of maturity, and interest rate of the obligation, and
stating on its face that the obligation shall be incontestable in the
hands of the Trust Fund to which it is issued, that the obligation is
supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, and that
the United States is pledged to the payment of the obligation with
respect to both principal and interest.''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall
take effect on the date of enactment of this Act.

SECTION 1. GRANT PROGRAM FOR GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Gifted and
Talented Students Education Act of 2003''.
    (b) Amendment.--Subpart 6 of part D of title V of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7253 et seq.) is amended
by adding at the end the following:

      ``Chapter B--Grant Program For Gifted and Talented Students

``SEC. 5467. FINDINGS; ESTABLISHMENT OF PROGRAM; AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES.

    ``(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            ``(1) Gifted and talented students give evidence of high
        performance capability in specific academic fields, or in areas
        such as intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership
        capacity, and require services or activities not ordinarily
        provided by a school in order to fully develop such
        capabilities. Gifted and talented students are from all
        cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, and socioeconomic
        groups. Some such students have disabilities and for some,
        English is not their first language. Many students from such
        diverse backgrounds have been historically underrepresented in
        gifted education programs.
            ``(2) Elementary school students who are gifted and
        talented have already mastered 35 to 50 percent of the material
        covered in a school year in several subject areas before the
        school year begins.
            ``(3) Elementary school and secondary school teachers have
        students in their classrooms with a wide variety of traits,
        characteristics, and needs. Most teachers receive some training
        to meet the needs of these students, such as students with
        limited English proficiency, students with disabilities, and
        students from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds. However,
        most teachers do not receive training on meeting the needs of
        students who are gifted and talented.
            ``(4) While the families or communities of some gifted
        students can provide private programs with appropriately
        trained staff to supplement public educational offerings, most
        high-ability students, especially those from inner cities,
        rural communities, or low-income families, must rely on the
        services and personnel provided by public schools. Therefore,
        gifted education programs, provided by qualified professionals
        in the public schools, are needed to provide equal educational
        opportunities.
            ``(5) Parents and families are essential partners to
        schools in developing appropriate educational services for
        gifted and talented students. They need access to information,
        research, and support regarding the characteristics of gifted
        children and their educational, and social and emotional needs,
        as well as information on available strategies and resources
        for education in State and local communities.
            ``(6) There currently is no Federal requirement to identify
        or serve the Nation's approximately 3,000,000 gifted and
        talented students.
            ``(7) While some States and local educational agencies
        allocate resources to educate gifted and talented students,
        others do not. Additionally, State laws, and State and local
        funding, identification, and accountability mechanisms vary
        widely, resulting in a vast disparity of services for this
        special-needs population.
            ``(8) To meet the future economic and national security
        needs of the United States, it is important that more students
        achieve to higher levels, and that highly capable students
        receive an education that prepares them to perform the most
        highly innovative and creative work that is necessary to secure
        our Nation's position in the world.
            ``(9) The performance of twelfth-grade advanced students in
        the United States on the Third International Mathematics and
        Science Study (TIMSS) was among the lowest in the world. In
        each of 5 physics content areas in the study and in each of 3
        mathematics content areas in the study, the performance of
        physics and advanced mathematics students in the United States
        was among the lowest of the participating countries.
            ``(10) In 1990, fewer than 2 cents out of every $100 spent
        on elementary and secondary education in the United States was
        devoted to providing challenging programming for the Nation's
        gifted and talented students.
    ``(b) Program Authorized.--
            ``(1) Competitive grants to states.--If the amount
        appropriated under section 5468 for a fiscal year is greater
        than $7,500,000 but less than $57,500,000, then the Secretary
        may use such amount to award grants, on a competitive basis, to
        State educational agencies to enable the State educational
        agencies to award grants to local educational agencies under
        section 5467C for developing or expanding gifted and talented
        education programs, and providing direct educational services
        and materials.
            ``(2) Formula grants to states.--If the amount appropriated
        under section 5468 for a fiscal year equals or exceeds
        $57,500,000, then the Secretary may use such amount to award
        grants to State educational agencies, from allotments under
        section 5467B, to enable the State educational agencies to
        award grants to local educational agencies under section 5467C
        for developing or expanding gifted and talented education
        programs, and providing direct educational services and
        materials.
    ``(c) Authorized Activities.--Grant funds provided under this
chapter shall be used to carry out 1 or more of the following
activities:
            ``(1) Any activity described in paragraph (2), (4), (6), or

            ``(2) Providing direct educational services and materials
        to gifted and talented students, which may include curriculum
        compacting, modified or adapted curriculum, acceleration,
        independent study, and dual enrollment.
    ``(d) Limitations on Use of Funds.--
            ``(1) Course work provided through emerging technologies.--
        Grant funds provided under this chapter that are used for
        activities described in section 5464(b)(7) may include
        development of curriculum packages, compensation of distance-
        learning educators, or other relevant activities, but grant
        funds provided under this chapter may not be used for the
        purchase or upgrading of technological hardware.
            ``(2) State use of funds.--
                    ``(A) In general.--A State educational agency

Output: Provide for the Common Defense Act of 2013 - Amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) to nullify the presidential sequestration order issued for the revised security category (discretionary appropriations in budget function 050) for FY2014-FY2015 to enforce a specified budget goal. Establishes the discretionary spending limit for the revised security category for each such fiscal year. Amends part B (Supplemental Medical Insurance) of title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act (SSA) with respect to adjustments to the calculation of Medicare parts B and D (Voluntary Prescription Drug Benefit Program) premiums for high income beneficiaries for 2017 and subsequent years. Reduces the monthly amount of the Medicare parts B and D premium subsidies (with a corresponding increase in the monthly premium amount) for individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds the threshold amount by specified applicable percentages for modified adjusted gross incomes in certain ranges starting at $85,000 (40%) and finally exceeding $214,000 (90%). Revises the temporary adjustment to income thresholds used to calculate premiums between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2019, to extend it through December 31 of the first year after 2019 after the year in which at least 25% of individuals enrolled in the Medicare parts B and D are subject to a reduction to the monthly amount of the applicable premium subsidy. Increases by $25 per year the part B deductible for new enrollees after January 1, 2017, and subsequent years. Amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to establish caps beginning with FY2014 for: (1) combined crop insurance provider rates of return, and (2) reimbursements for crop insurance provider administrative and operating expenses. Reduces according to a specified formula the crop insurance premium for catastrophic risk protection coverage. Reduces the portion of premium paid by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (premium subsidies) for the following coverages: (1) additional insurance, (2) enterprise and whole farm units, (3) area revenue plans, and (4) area yield plans. Requires an additional .4% increase per year, beginning in calendar 2014, in the percentage of basic pay that federal employees or Members of Congress must contribute to their pension plans under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). Reduces government contributions to CSRS and FERS by the amount of such increased employee contributions.  Eliminates annuity supplements for federal employees hired after 2013.  Revises the definition of “price index,” for purposes of cost-of-living adjustments to federal employee benefits, to mean the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (Chained CPI) instead of the Consumer Price Index. Amends SSA title II (Old Age, Surivors, and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) to require the use of the Chained CPI for calculation of Social Security cost-of-living adjustments.
