        However, about one-third of private health benefits coverage
        does not cover this surgery.
            (5) To address a similar concern with respect to breast
        cancer, Congress enacted the Women's Health and Cancer Rights
        Act of 1998 that requires private health benefits coverage to
        provide coverage for reconstructive surgery following
        mastectomies.
            (6) Men should have a right to access to reconstructive
        surgery following a prostatectomy just as women have the right
        to access to reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``State and Local Government Economic
Empowerment Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress hereby finds the following:
            (1) As of the date of the enactment of this Act, money is
        principally created in the domestic economy by banks through
        the process known as ``deposit expansion'' under which credit
        is extended by banks to customers in exchange for the
        assumption of an obligation by each customer to repay the
        amount of any such credit with interest.
            (2) The creation of money through the extension of credit
        and creation of debt, a traditional banking function, preceded
        the establishment by the Congress of, first, the national
        banking system and, subsequently, the Federal Reserve System.
            (3) The constitutional authority to create and regulate
        money does not limit the Federal Government to creating money
        through the production of coins or currency or the process of
        debt creation but, except for a brief period during the
        administration of President Lincoln, the Federal Government has
        not exercised such authority more broadly.
            (4) The creation of money by the banks in conjunction with
        the Federal reserve banks does not limit the constitutional
        authority of the Congress to create Government credit funds in
        the form of noninterest bearing credit to fund a legislatively
        approved program or prevent the Congress from creating such
        funds.
            (5) The creation of noninterest-bearing government credit
        funds in measured or limited increments for the purpose of
        funding capital and environmental projects in the public
        interest--
                    (A) will allow projects to be built for \1/2\ to
                \1/3\ the normal cost; and
                    (B) will allow more necessary projects to be built
                at a lower cost to the taxpayers and at the same time
                build additional wealth in the communities where such
                projects are located.

SEC. 3. CREATION OF MONEY.

    (a) In General.--Pursuant to the exercise by the Congress of the
authority contained in the 5th clause of section 8 of Article I of the
Constitution, the Secretary of the Treasury shall have money available
for purposes of this Act in an amount equal to the product of--
            (1) the population of the United States, as determined by
        the Secretary of Commerce on the basis of the 1990 census; and
            (2) $1,400.
    (b) Loan Agreement.--The money referred to in section 3(a) shall be
created by having the Secretary of the Treasury and the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System enter into a Loan Agreement in
accordance with the following requirements:
            (1) The Board shall lend the United States Treasury an
        amount up to a total of $360,000,000,000 at the rate of not
        more than $72,000,000,000 per annum (on a cumulative basis) in
        each of the 5 years commencing 60 days after the date of the
        enactment of this Act.
            (2) The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay an annual fee
        to the Board (the amount to be negotiated between the Secretary
        and the Board) to cover the administrative costs the Board
        incurs in acting as the agent of the Administrator appointed
        under section 4(b). The amount of this administration fee each
        year shall be charged to the recipients of the noninterest
        bearing loans made to them during the year pursuant to section
        7(e), pro rata to the amount of such loans.
    (c) Exercise of Sovereign Capacity to Create Money.--
            (1) In general.--Any amount made available pursuant to this
        Act shall be treated as money created in the sovereign and
        exclusive capacity of the United States, in accordance with the
        Constitution, to create money.
            (2) Expenditure of tax revenue or borrowed funds not
        authorized.--No provision of this Act shall be construed as
        authorizing the expenditure of funds derived from revenues
        imposed and collected by the United States Government under any
        provision of law or from amounts borrowed by the United States
        Government pursuant to chapter 31 of title 31, United States
        Code, or any other provision of law.

        and expenditures of revenue and borrowed funds.--For purposes
        of title 31, United States Code, the Congressional Budget and
        Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the Balanced Budget and
        Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the Budget Enforcement
        Act of 1990, or any other provision of law--
                    (A) money created under this section shall not be
                treated as revenue when it is created or made available
                to the Administrator under section 4(b) nor shall it be
                treated as revenue by the Administrator or by the
                Secretary of the Treasury when the loans referred to in
                section 6 are repaid;
                    (B) the money created under this section and the
                interest-free loan program established under section
                6--
                            (i) shall not be treated as budget
                        authority, new budget authority, budgetary
                        resources, spending authority, new spending
                        authority, entitlement authority, or credit
                        authority;
                            (ii) shall not be subject to apportionment
                        or sequestration other than in accordance with
                        the provisions of sections 4, 5, and 6; and
                            (iii) shall not be taken into account in
                        the determination of the baseline for any
                        fiscal year; and
                    (C) the disbursement of money created under this
                section shall not be treated as an outlay or a budget
                outlay.
    (e) Bank Reserve Requirements.--No provision of this Act shall be
construed as affecting any authority of the Board to adjust bank
reserve requirements, as appropriate.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Taiwan Airpower Modernization Act of
2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings.
            (1) The Department of Defense, in its 2011 report to
        Congress on ``Military and Security Developments Involving the
        People's Republic of China,'' found that ``China continued
        modernizing its military in 2010, with a focus on Taiwan
        contingencies, even as cross-Strait relations improved. The PLA
        seeks the capability to deter Taiwan independence and influence
        Taiwan to settle the dispute on Beijing's terms. In pursuit of
        this objective, Beijing is developing capabilities intended to
        deter, delay, or deny possible U.S. support for the island in
        the event of conflict. The balance of cross-Strait military
        forces and capabilities continues to shift in the mainland's
        favor.'' In this report, the Department of Defense also
        concludes that, over the next decade, China's air force will
        remain primarily focused on ``building the capabilities
        required to pose a credible military threat to Taiwan and U.S.
        forces in East Asia, deter Taiwan independence, or influence
        Taiwan to settle the dispute on Beijing's terms''.
            (2) The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) conducted a
        preliminary assessment of the status and capabilities of
        Taiwan's air force in an unclassified report, dated January 21,
        2010. The DIA found that, ``[a]lthough Taiwan has nearly 400
        combat aircraft in service, far fewer of these are
        operationally capable.'' The report concluded, ``Many of
        Taiwan's fighter aircraft are close to or beyond service life,
        and many require extensive maintenance support. The retirement
        of Mirage and F-5 aircraft will reduce the total size of the
        Taiwan Air Force.''
            (3) Since 2006, authorities from Taiwan have made repeated
        requests to purchase 66 F-16C/D multirole fighter aircraft from
        the United States, in an effort to modernize the air force of
        Taiwan and maintain its self-defense capability.
            (4) According to a report by the Perryman Group, a private
        economic research and analysis firm, the requested sale of F-
        16C/Ds to Taiwan ``would generate some $8,700,000,000 in output
        (gross product) and more than 87,664 person-years of employment
        in the US,'' including 23,407 direct jobs, while ``economic
        benefits would likely be realized in 44 states and the District
        of Columbia''.
            (5) The sale of F-16C/Ds to Taiwan would both sustain
        existing high-skilled jobs in key United States manufacturing
        sectors and create new ones.
            (6) On August 1, 2011, a bipartisan group of 181 members of
        the House of Representatives sent a letter to the President,
        expressing support for the sale of F-16C/Ds to Taiwan. On May
        26, 2011, a bipartisan group of 45 members of the Senate sent a
        similar letter to the President, expressing support for the
        sale. Two other members of the Senate wrote separately to the
        President or the Secretary of State in 2011 and expressed
        support for this sale.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a critical element to maintaining peace and stability
        in Asia in the face of China's two-decade-long program of
        military modernization and expansion of military capabilities
        is ensuring a militarily strong and confident Taiwan;
            (2) a Taiwan that is confident in its ability to deter
        Chinese aggression will increase its ability to proceed in
        developing peaceful relations with China in areas of mutual
        interest;
            (3) the cross-Strait military balance between China and our
        longstanding strategic partner, Taiwan, has clearly shifted in
        China's favor;
            (4) China's military expansion poses a clear and present
        danger to Taiwan, and this threat has very serious implications
        for the ability of the United States to fulfill its security
        obligations to allies in the region and protect our vital
        United States national interests in East Asia;
            (5) Taiwan's air force continues to deteriorate, and it
        needs additional advanced multirole fighter aircraft in order
        to modernize its fleet and maintain a sufficient self-defense
        capability;
            (6) the United States has a statutory obligation under the
        Taiwan Relations Act (22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) to provide Taiwan
        the defense articles necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain
        sufficient self-defense capabilities, in furtherance of
        maintaining peace and stability in the western Pacific region;
            (7) in order to comply with the Taiwan Relations Act, the
        United States must provide Taiwan with additional advanced
        multirole fighter aircraft, as well as significant upgrades to
        Taiwan's existing fleet of multirole fighter aircraft; and
            (8) the proposed sale of F-16C/D multirole fighter aircraft
        to Taiwan would have significant economic benefits to the
        United States economy.

SEC. 4. SALE OF F-16 AIRCRAFT TO TAIWAN.

    The President shall carry out the sale of no fewer than 66 F-16C/D
multirole fighter aircraft to Taiwan.

Output:

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Private Property Rights Act of
1997''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the ownership of private property plays an important
        role in the economic and social well-being of the Nation;
            (2) the protection of private property from a taking by the
        Government without just compensation is an integral protection
        for private citizens incorporated into the United States
        Constitution by the fifth amendment and made applicable to the
        States by the fourteenth amendment;
            (3) Federal agency actions that restrict the use of private
        property and result in a significant diminution in value of
        such property constitute a taking of that property and should
        be properly compensated;
            (4) Federal agencies should consider the impact of agency
        actions, including regulations, on the use and ownership of
        private property; and
            (5) owners of private property that is taken by a Federal
        agency action should be permitted to seek relief in Federal
        district court.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    The policy of the Federal Government is to protect the health,
safety, and general welfare of the public in a manner that, to the
extent practicable, avoids takings of private property.

            (1) the term ``agency'' means a department, agency,
        independent agency, or instrumentality of the United States,

                    (B) the issuance, denial, or suspension of any
                permit, license, or authorization;
            (3) the term ``owner'' means the person with title,
        possession, or other property rights in property affected by
        any taking of such property; and

        action whereby private property is taken in such a way as to
        require compensation under the fifth amendment to the United

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Mammogram
Availability Act of 1999''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Breast cancer is the single leading cause of death for
        women between the ages of 40 and 49 in the United States
            (2) An expert panel convened by the National Institutes of
        Health recommended on January 23, 1997, that all women between
        the ages of 40 and 49 should choose for themselves, following
        consultation with their health care provider, whether to
        undergo screening mammography.
            (3) The same panel unanimously recommended that for women
        between the ages of 40 and 49 who choose to have a screening
        mammogram, costs of the mammograms should be reimbursed by
        third-party payers or covered by health maintenance
        organizations.
