evaluate the extent to which funds made available under part
A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of

the greatest concentrations of school-age children from low-income
families, the extent to which allocations of such funds adjust to
shifts in concentrations of pupils from low-income families in different regions, States, and substate areas, the extent to which
the allocation of such funds encourages the targeting of State funds
to areas with higher concentrations of children from low-income
families, and the implications of current distribution methods for
such funds, shall make formula and other policy recommendations
to improve the targeting of such funds to more effectively serve
low-income children in both rural and urban areas, and shall prepare interim and final reports based on the results of the study,

(b)(1) Each State that receives funds under this section shall
distribute 100 percent of such funds to local educational agencies,
of which—
(A) 80 percent of such amount shall be allocated to such
local educational agencies in proportion to the number of children, aged 5 to 17, who reside in the school district served
by such local educational agency from families with incomes
below the poverty line (as defined by the Office of Management
and Budget and revised annually in accordance with section
673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C.
9902(2))) applicable to a family of the size involved for the
most recent fiscal year for which satisfactory data are available
compared to the number of such individuals who reside in
the school districts served by all the local educational agencies
in the State for that fiscal year; and
(B) 20 percent of such amount shall be allocated to such
local educational agencies in accordance with the relative enrollments of children, aged 5 to 17, in public and private nonprofit
elementary and secondary schools within the boundaries of
such agencies.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if the award to a local
educational agency under this section is less than the starting
salary for a new fully qualified teacher in that agency, who is
certified within the State (which may include certification through
State or local alternative routes), has a baccalaureate degree, and
demonstrates the general knowledge, teaching skills, and subject
matter knowledge required to teach in his or her content areas,

size, which may be in combination with other Federal, State, or
local funds; or (B) pay for activities described in subsection
(c)(2)(A)(iii) which may be related to teaching in smaller classes.
(c)(1) The basic purpose and intent of this section is to reduce
class size with fully qualified teachers. Each local educational
agency that receives funds under this section shall use such funds
to carry out effective approaches to reducing class size with fully
qualified teachers who are certified within the State, including
teachers certified through State or local alternative routes, and
who demonstrate competency in the areas in which they teach,
to improve educational achievement for both regular and special
needs children, with particular consideration given to reducing class
size in the early elementary grades for which some research has
shown class size reduction is most effective.
(2)(A) Each such local educational agency may use funds under
this section for—
(i) recruiting (including through the use of signing bonuses,
and other financial incentives), hiring, and training fully qualified regular and special education teachers (which may include
hiring special education teachers to team-teach with regular
teachers in classrooms that contain both children with disabilities and non-disabled children) and teachers of special-needs
children who are certified within the State, including teachers
certified through State or local alternative routes, have a baccalaureate degree and demonstrate the general knowledge, teaching skills, and subject matter knowledge required to teach
in their content areas;

‘‘SEC. 10999C. FINDINGS.

‘‘Congress makes the following findings:
‘‘(1) Physical education is essential to the development
of growing children.
‘‘(2) Physical education helps improve the overall health
of children by improving their cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and power, and flexibility, and by enhancing
weight regulation, bone development, posture, skillful moving,
active lifestyle habits, and constructive use of leisure time.
‘‘(3) Physical education helps improve the self esteem, interpersonal relationships, responsible behavior, and independence
of children.
‘‘(4) Children who participate in high quality daily physical
education programs tend to be more healthy and physically
fit.
‘‘(5) The percentage of young people who are overweight
has more than doubled in the 30 years preceding 1999.
‘‘(6) Low levels of activity contribute to the high prevalence
of obesity among children in the United States.
‘‘(7) Obesity related diseases cost the United States economy more than $100,000,000,000 every year.
‘‘(8) Inactivity and poor diet cause at least 300,000 deaths
a year in the United States.
‘‘(9) Physically fit adults have significantly reduced risk
factors for heart attacks and stroke.
‘‘(10) Children are not as active as they should be and
fewer than one in four children get 20 minutes of vigorous
activity every day of the week.
‘‘(11) The Surgeon General’s 1996 Report on Physical Activity and Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recommend daily physical education for all students in
kindergarten through grade 12.
‘‘(12) Twelve years after Congress passed House Concurrent
Resolution 97, 100th Congress, agreed to December 11, 1987,
encouraging State and local governments and local educational
agencies to provide high quality daily physical education programs for all children in kindergarten through grade 12, little
progress has been made.
‘‘(13) Every student in our Nation’s schools, from kindergarten through grade 12, should have the opportunity to participate in quality physical education. It is the unique role of
quality physical education programs to develop the healthrelated fitness, physical competence, and cognitive understanding about physical activity for all students so that the students
can adopt healthy and physically active lifestyles.
‘‘SEC. 10999D. PROGRAM AUTHORIZED.

‘‘The Secretary is authorized to award grants to, and enter
into contracts with, local educational agencies to pay the Federal
share of the costs of initiating, expanding, and improving physical
education programs for kindergarten through grade 12 students
by—
‘‘(1) providing equipment and support to enable students
to actively participate in physical education activities; and
‘‘(2) providing funds for staff and teacher training and
education.

(2) parents are the most significant and effective teachers
of their children, and they alone are responsible for choosing
the best early learning opportunities for their child;
(3) parent education and parent involvement are critical
to the success of any early learning program or activity;
(4) the more intensively parents are involved in their child’s
early learning, the greater the cognitive and noncognitive benefits to their children;
(5) many parents have difficulty finding the information
and support the parents seek to help their children grow to
their full potential;
(6) each day approximately 13,000,000 young children,
including 6,000,000 infants or toddlers, spend some or all of
their day being cared for by someone other than their parents;
(7) quality early learning programs, including those
designed to promote effective parenting, can increase the literacy rate, the secondary school graduation rate, the employment rate, and the college enrollment rate for children who
have participated in voluntary early learning programs and
activities;

(8) early childhood interventions can yield substantial
advantages to participants in terms of emotional and cognitive
development, education, economic well-being, and health, with
the latter two advantages applying to the children’s families
as well;
(9) participation in quality early learning programs, including those designed to promote effective parenting, can decrease
the future incidence of teenage pregnancy, welfare dependency,
at-risk behaviors, and juvenile delinquency for children;
(10) several cost-benefit analysis studies indicate that for
each $1 invested in quality early learning programs, the Federal
Government can save over $5 by reducing the number of children and families who participate in Federal Government programs like special education and welfare;
(11) for children placed in the care of others during the
workday, the low salaries paid to the child care staff, the
lack of career progression for the staff, and the lack of child
development specialists involved in early learning and child
care programs, make it difficult to attract and retain the quality
of staff necessary for a positive early learning experience;
(12) Federal Government support for early learning has
primarily focused on out-of-home care programs like those
established under the Head Start Act, the Child Care and
Development Block Grant of 1990, and part C of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act, and these programs—
(A) serve far fewer than half of all eligible children;
(B) are not primarily designed to provide support for
parents who care for their young children in the home;
and
(C) lack a means of coordinating early learning
opportunities in each community; and
(13) by helping communities increase, expand, and better
coordinate early learning opportunities for children and their
families, the productivity and creativity of future generations
will be improved, and the Nation will be prepared for continued
leadership in the 21st century.
SEC. 802. PURPOSES.

The purposes of this title are—
(1) to increase the availability of voluntary programs, services, and activities that support early childhood development,
increase parent effectiveness, and promote the learning readiness of young children so that young children enter school
ready to learn;
(2) to support parents, child care providers, and caregivers
who want to incorporate early learning activities into the daily
lives of young children;
(3) to remove barriers to the provision of an accessible
system of early childhood learning programs in communities
throughout the United States;
(4) to increase the availability and affordability of professional development activities and compensation for caregivers
and child care providers; and
(5) to facilitate the development of community-based systems of collaborative service delivery models characterized by
resource sharing, linkages between appropriate supports, and
local planning for services.

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California,
is the only instrumented training area in the world suitable
for live fire training of heavy brigade-sized military forces and
thus provides the Army with essential training opportunities
necessary to maintain and improve military readiness and promote national security.

lands suitable for the maneuver of large numbers of military
personnel and equipment, which is necessitated by advances

in equipment, by doctrinal changes, and by Force XXI doctrinal
experimentation requirements.
(3) The lands being considered for expansion of the National
Training Center are home to the desert tortoise and other
species that are protected under the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, and the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of
the Interior, in developing a plan for expansion of the National
Training Center, must provide for such expansion in a manner
that complies with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and other
applicable laws.
(4) In order for the expansion of the National Training
Center to be implemented on an expedited basis, the Secretaries
should proceed without delay to define with specificity the
key elements of the expansion plan, including obtaining early
input regarding national security requirements, Endangered
Species Act of 1973 compliance and mitigation, and National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 compliance.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this section is to expedite the
expansion of the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California,
in a manner that is fully compliant with environmental laws.
(c) PREPARATION OF PROPOSED EXPANSION PLAN.—
(1) PREPARATION REQUIRED.—The Secretary of the Army
and the Secretary of the Interior (in this section referred to
as the ‘‘Secretaries’’) shall jointly prepare a proposed plan for
the expansion of the National Training Center at Fort Irwin,
California.
(2) SUBMISSION AND AVAILABILITY.—The plan required by
paragraph (1) (in this section referred to as the ‘‘proposed
expansion plan’’) shall be completed not later than 120 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act. When completed,
the Secretaries shall make the proposed expansion plan available to the public and shall publish in the Federal Register
a ‘‘notice of availability’’ concerning the proposed expansion
plan.
(d) KEY ELEMENTS OF PROPOSED EXPANSION PLAN.—
(1) JOINT REPORT.—Not later than 45 days after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretaries shall submit to
Congress a joint report that identifies the key elements of
the proposed expansion plan.
(2) LANDS WITHDRAWAL AND RESERVATION.—The proposed
expansion plan shall include the withdrawal and reservation
of an appropriate amount of public lands for—

at the National Training Center;
(B) the development and testing of military equipment
at the National Training Center;
(C) other defense-related purposes; and
(D) conservation and research purposes.
(3) CONSERVATION MEASURES.—The proposed expansion
plan shall also include a general description of conservation
measures, anticipated to cost approximately $75,000,000, that
may be necessary and appropriate to protect and promote the
conservation of the desert tortoise and other endangered or
threatened species and their critical habitats in designated
wildlife management areas in the West Mojave Desert. The
conservation measures may include—

the wildlife management areas in the West Mojave Desert;
(C) the construction of barriers, fences, and other structures that would promote the conservation of endangered
or threatened species and their critical habitats;
(D) the funding of research studies; and
(E) other conservation measures.
(d) PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF EXPANSION PLAN.—
(1) REVIEW REQUIRED.—Not later than 90 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of the United

a preliminary review of the proposed expansion plan (as developed as of that date). In the preliminary review, the Director
shall identify, with as much specificity as possible, an approach
for implementing the proposed expansion plan consistent with
the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
(2) RELATION TO FORMAL REVIEW.—The preliminary review
under paragraph (1) shall not constitute a formal consultation
under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16

of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service under paragraph
(1).

for the expansion of the National Training Center. It is the sense
of the Congress that the proposed legislation should contain a
provision that, if enacted, would prohibit ground-disturbing military
use of the land to be withdrawn and reserved by the legislation
until the Secretaries have certified that there has been full compliance with the appropriate provisions of the legislation, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969, and other applicable laws.

with respect to expansion of the National Training Center as soon
as practicable and shall complete such consultation not later than
2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
(g) ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.—Not later than 6 months following completion of the formal consultation required under section
7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 with respect to expansion
of the National Training Center, the Secretaries shall complete
any analysis required under the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 with respect to the proposed expansion of the National
Training Center. The analysis shall be coordinated, to the extent

fisheries’’). In implementing the program the Secretary shall—
(A) reduce the fishing capacity in the BSAI crab fisheries
by permanently reducing the number of license limitation program crab licenses;
(B) permanently revoke all fishery licenses, fishery permits,
area and species endorsements, and any other fishery privileges, for all fisheries subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States, issued to a vessel or vessels (or to persons on the
basis of their operation or ownership of that vessel or vessels)
for which a BSAI crab fisheries reduction permit is surrendered

(G) seek to obtain the maximum sustained reduction in
fishing capacity at the least cost by establishing bidding procedures that—
(i) assign a bid score to each bid by dividing the price
bid for each reduction permit by the total value of the
crab landed in the most recent 5-year period in each crab
fishery from 1990 through 1999 under that permit, with
the value for each year determined by multiplying the
average price per pound published by the State of Alaska
in each year for each crab fishery included in such reduction
permit by the total pounds landed in each crab fishery
under that permit in that year; and
(ii) use a reverse auction in which the lowest bid score
ranks first, followed by each bid with the next lowest
bid score, until the total bid amount of all bids equals
a reduction cost that the next lowest bid would cause
to exceed $100,000,000;
(H) not waive or otherwise make inapplicable any requirements of the License Limitation Program applicable to such
crab fisheries, in particular any requirements in sections
679.4(k) and (l) of title 50, Code of Federal Regulations;
(I) not waive or otherwise make inapplicable any catcher
vessel sideboards implemented under the American Fisheries
Act (AFA), except that the North Pacific Fishery Management
Council shall recommend to the Secretary and to the State
of Alaska, not later than February 16, 2001, and the Secretary
and the State of Alaska shall implement as appropriate, modifications to such sideboards to the extent necessary to permit
AFA catcher vessels that remain in the crab fisheries to share
proportionately in any increase in crab harvest opportunities
that accrue to all remaining AFA and non-AFA catcher vessels
if the fishing capacity reduction program required by this section is implemented;
(J) establish sub-amounts and repayment fees for each
BSAI crab fishery prosecuted under a separate endorsement
for repayment of the reduction loan, such that—
(i) a reduction loan sub-amount is established for each
separate BSAI crab fishery (other than Norton Sound red
king crab or Norton Sound blue king crab) by dividing
the total value of the crab landed in that fishery under
all reduction permits by the total value of all crab landed
under such permits in the BSAI crab fisheries (determined
using the same average prices and years used under
subparagraph (G)(i) of this paragraph), and multiplying
the reduction loan amount by the percentage expressed
by such ratio; and
(ii) fish sellers who participate in the crab fishery
under each endorsement repay the reduction loan subamount attributable to that fishery; and
(K) notwithstanding section 1111(b) of the Merchant
Marine Act, 1936 (46 U.S.C. App. 1279f(b)(4)), establish a repayment period for the reduction loan of not less than 30 years.

license and an area/species endorsement have been issued
(other than persons to whom only a license and an area/species
endorsement for Norton Sound red king crab or Norton Sound
blue king crab have been issued) for vessels that—

established by this section.
(B) After the date of enactment of this section—
(i) no vessel 60 feet or greater in length overall may
participate in any BSAI crab fishery (other than for Norton
Sound red king crab or Norton Sound blue king crab)
unless such vessel meets the requirements set forth in
subparagraphs (A)(i) and (A)(ii) of this paragraph; and
(ii) no vessel between 33 and 60 feet in length overall
may participate in any BSAI crab fishery (other than for
Norton Sound red king crab or Norton Sound blue king
crab) unless such vessel meets the requirements set forth
in subparagraph (A)(i) of this paragraph. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to affect the requirements
for participation in the fisheries for Norton Sound red
king crab or Norton Sound blue king crab. The Secretary
may, on a case by case basis and after notice and opportunity for public comment, waive the application of
subparagraph (A)(ii) of this paragraph if the Secretary
determines such waiver is necessary to implement one
of the specific exemptions to the recent participation
requirement that were recommended by the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council in the record of its October,
1998 meeting.
(3) The fishing capacity reduction program required under
this subsection shall be implemented under this subsection
and sections 312(b)–(e) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1861a(b)–(e)). Section
312 and the regulations found in Subpart L of Part 600 of
title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, shall apply only to the
extent such section or regulations are not inconsistent with
or made inapplicable by the specific provisions of this subsection. Sections 600.1001, 600.1002, 600.1003, 600.1005,

higher than in 1991, continuing the alarming trend of sharply
increasing steel imports over the past decade.
(2) Unprecedented levels of steel imports flooded the United
States market in 1998 and 1999, causing a crisis in which
thousands of steelworkers were laid off and six steel companies
went bankrupt.
(3) The domestic steel industry still has not had an opportunity to recover from the 1998–1999 steel import crisis, and
steel imports are again causing serious injury to United States
steel producers and workers.
(4) Total steel imports through August 2000 are 17 percent
higher than over the same period in 1999 and greater even
than imports over the same period in 1998, a record year.
(5) Steel prices continue to be depressed, with hot-rolled
steel prices 12 percent lower in August 2000 than in the first
quarter of 1998, and average import customs values for all
steel products more than 15 percent lower over the same period.
(6) The United States Government must maintain and
fully enforce all existing relief against foreign unfair trade.
(7) The United States steel industry is a clean, highly
efficient industry having modernized itself at great human
and financial cost, shedding over 330,000 jobs and investing
more than $50,000,000,000 over the last 20 years.
(8) Capacity utilization in the United States steel industry
has fallen sharply since the beginning of the year and the
market capitalization and debt ratings of the major United
States steel firms are at precarious levels.
(9) The Department of Commerce recently documented the
underlying market-distorting practices and longstanding structural problems that plague the global steel trade with excess
capacity and cause diversion of unfairly traded foreign steel
to the United States.
(10) The President recognized that unfair trade played
a significant role in the devastating import surge of steel and
recognized the need to vigorously enforce the trade laws.

TITLE III—COLORADO UTE SETTLEMENT ACT
AMENDMENTS OF 2000
SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS; DEFINITIONS.

(a) SHORT TITLE.—This title may be cited as the ‘‘Colorado
Ute Settlement Act Amendments of 2000’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In order to provide for a full and final settlement
of the claims of the Colorado Ute Indian Tribes on the Animas
and La Plata Rivers, the Tribes, the State of Colorado, and
certain of the non-Indian parties to the Agreement have proposed certain modifications to the Colorado Ute Indian Water
Rights Settlement Act of 1988 (Public Law 100–585; 102 Stat.
2973).
(2) The claims of the Colorado Ute Indian Tribes on all
rivers in Colorado other than the Animas and La Plata Rivers
have been settled in accordance with the provisions of the
Colorado Ute Indian Water Rights Settlement Act of 1988 (Public Law 100–585; 102 Stat. 2973).
(3) The Indian and non-Indian communities of southwest
Colorado and northwest New Mexico will be benefited by a
settlement of the tribal claims on the Animas and La Plata
Rivers that provides the Tribes with a firm water supply without taking water away from existing uses.
(4) The Agreement contemplated a specific timetable for
the delivery of irrigation and municipal and industrial water

and other benefits to the Tribes from the Animas-La Plata
Project, which timetable has not been met. The provision of
irrigation water can not presently be satisfied under the current
implementation of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
(33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and the Endangered Species Act of
1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
(5) In order to meet the requirements of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and in particular
the various biological opinions issued by the Fish and Wildlife
Service, the amendments made by this title are needed to
provide for a significant reduction in the facilities and water
supply contemplated under the Agreement.
(6) The substitute benefits provided to the Tribes under
the amendments made by this title, including the waiver of
capital costs and the provisions of funds for natural resource
enhancement, result in a settlement that provides the Tribes
with benefits that are equivalent to those that the Tribes would
have received under the Colorado Ute Indian Water Rights
Settlement Act of 1988 (Public Law 100–585; 102 Stat. 2973).
(7) The requirement that the Secretary of the Interior
comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and other national environmental laws
before implementing the proposed settlement will ensure that
the satisfaction of the tribal water rights is accomplished in
an environmentally responsible fashion.
(8) In considering the full range of alternatives for satisfying the water rights claims of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe
and Ute Mountain Ute Indian Tribe, Congress has held numerous legislative hearings and deliberations, and reviewed the
considerable record including the following documents:
(A) The Final EIS No. INT–FES–80–18, dated July
1, 1980.
(B) The Draft Supplement to the FES No. INT–DES–
92–41, dated October 13, 1992.
(C) The Final Supplemental to the FES No. 96–23,
dated April 26, 1996;
(D) The Draft Supplemental EIS, dated January 14,
2000.
(E) The Final Supplemental EIS, dated July 2000.
(F) The Record of Decision for the Settlement of the
Colorado Ute Indian Waters, September 25, 2000.
(9) In the Record of Decision referred to in paragraph
(8)(F), the Secretary determined that the preferred alternative
could only proceed if Congress amended the Colorado Ute
Indian Water Rights Settlement Act of 1988 (Public Law 100–
585; 102 Stat. 2973) so as to satisfy the Tribal water rights
claim through the construction of the features authorized by
this title. The amendments to the Colorado Ute Indian Water
Rights Settlement Act of 1988 set forth in this title will provide
the Ute Tribes with substitute benefits equivalent to those
that the Tribes would have received under the Colorado Ute
Indian Water Rights Settlement Act of 1988, in a manner
consistent with paragraph (8) and the Federal Government’s
trust obligation.
(10) Based upon paragraph (8), it is the intent of Congress
to enact legislation that implements the Record of Decision
referred to in paragraph (8)(F).

‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—Under the provisions of section 9
of the Act of August 4, 1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h), the nontribal
municipal and industrial water capital repayment obligations for the facilities described in paragraph (1)(A)(i) may
be satisfied upon the payment in full of the nontribal
water capital obligations prior to the initiation of construction. The amount of the obligations described in the preceding sentence shall be determined by agreement between
the Secretary of the Interior and the entity responsible
for such repayment as to the appropriate reimbursable
share of the construction costs allocated to that entity’s
municipal water storage. Such repayment shall be consistent with Federal reclamation law, including the Colorado
River Storage Project Act of 1956 (43 U.S.C. 620 et seq.).
Such agreement shall take into account the fact that the
construction of certain project facilities, including those
facilities required to provide irrigation water supplies from
the Animas-La Plata Project, is not authorized under paragraph (1)(A)(i) and no costs associated with the design
or development of such facilities, including costs associated
with environmental compliance, shall be allocable to the

under such paragraph.
‘‘(B) NONTRIBAL REPAYMENT OBLIGATION SUBJECT TO
FINAL COST ALLOCATION.—The nontribal repayment obligation set forth in subparagraph (A) shall be subject to a
final cost allocation by the Secretary upon project completion. In the event that the final cost allocation indicates
that additional repayment is warranted based on the
applicable entity’s share of project water storage and determination of overall reimbursable cost, that entity may elect
to enter into a new agreement to make the additional
payment necessary to secure the full water supply identified in paragraph (1)(A)(ii). If the repayment entity elects
not to enter into a new agreement, the portion of project
storage relinquished by such election shall be available
to the Secretary for allocation to other project purposes.
Additional repayment shall only be warranted for reasonable and unforeseen costs associated with project construction as determined by the Secretary in consultation with
the relevant repayment entities.
‘‘(C) REPORT.—Not later than April 1, 2001, the Secretary shall report to Congress on the status of the costshare agreements contemplated in subparagraph (A). In
the event that no agreement is reached with either the
Animas-La Plata Conservancy District or the State of Colorado for the water allocations set forth in subclauses (V)

TITLE VII
SEC. 701. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that—

Indians and non-Indians;
(2) the need may be met partially through the promotion
of the understanding of the history and culture of Sioux Indian
tribes;
(3) the establishment of a Sioux Nation Tribal Supreme
Court will promote economic development on reservations of
the Sioux Nation and provide investors that contribute to that
development a greater degree of certainty and confidence by—
(A) reconciling conflicting tribal laws; and
(B) strengthening tribal court systems;
(4) the reservations of the Sioux Nation—
(A) contain the poorest counties in the United States;
and
(B) lack adequate tools to promote economic development and the creation of jobs;
(5) the establishment of a Native American Economic
Development Council will assist in promoting economic growth
and reducing poverty on reservations of the Sioux Nation by—
(A) coordinating economic development efforts;
(B) centralizing expertise concerning Federal assistance; and
(C) facilitating the raising of funds from private donations to meet matching requirements under certain Federal
assistance programs;
(6) there is a need to enhance and strengthen the capacity
of Indian tribal governments and tribal justice systems to
address conflicts which impair relationships within Indian
communities and between Indian and non-Indian communities
and individuals; and
(7) the establishment of the National Native American
Mediation Training Center, with the technical assistance of
tribal and Federal agencies, including the Community Relations
Service of the Department of Justice, would enhance and
strengthen the mediation skills that are useful in reducing
tensions and resolving conflicts in Indian communities and
between Indian and non-Indian communities and individuals.

TITLE XI
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION
SEC. 1101. HONORING THE NAVAJO CODE TALKERS.

(a) Congress finds that—
(1) on December 7, 1941, the Japanese Empire attacked
Pearl Harbor and war was declared by Congress the following
day;
(2) the military code, developed by the United States for
transmitting messages, had been deciphered by the Japanese,
and a search by United States intelligence was made to develop
new means to counter the enemy;
(3) the United States Government called upon the Navajo
Nation to support the military effort by recruiting and enlisting
29 Navajo men to serve as Marine Corps Radio Operators;
(4) the number of Navajo enlistees later increased to more
than 350;
(5) at the time, the Navajos were often treated as secondclass citizens, and they were a people who were discouraged
from using their own native language;
(6) the Navajo Marine Corps Radio Operators, who became
known as the ‘‘Navajo Code Talkers’’, were used to develop
a code using their native language to communicate military
messages in the Pacific;
(7) to the enemy’s frustration, the code developed by these
Native Americans proved to be unbreakable, and was used
extensively throughout the Pacific theater;

(8) the Navajo language, discouraged in the past, was
instrumental in developing the most significant and successful
military code of the time;
(9) at Iwo Jima alone, the Navajo Code Talkers passed
over 800 error-free messages in a 48-hour period;
(10) use of the Navajo Code was so successful, that—
(A) military commanders credited it in saving the lives
of countless American soldiers and in the success of the
engagements of the United States in the battles of Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa;
(B) some Code Talkers were guarded by fellow marines,
whose role was to kill them in case of imminent capture
by the enemy; and
(C) the Navajo Code was kept secret for 23 years
after the end of World War II;
(11) following the conclusion of World War II, the Department of Defense maintained the secrecy of the Navajo code
until it was declassified in 1968; and
(12) only then did a realization of the sacrifice and valor
of these brave Native Americans emerge from history.
(b)(1) To express recognition by the United States and its
citizens in honoring the Navajo Code Talkers, who distinguished
themselves in performing a unique, highly successful communications operation that greatly assisted in saving countless lives and
hastening the end of World War II in the Pacific, the President
is authorized—
(A) to award to each of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers,
or a surviving family member, on behalf of the Congress, a
gold medal of appropriate design, honoring the Navajo Code
Talkers; and
(B) to award to each person who qualified as a Navajo
Code Talker (MOS 642), or a surviving family member, on
behalf of the Congress, a silver medal of appropriate design,
honoring the Navajo Code Talkers.
(2) For purposes of the awards authorized by paragraph (1),
the Secretary of the Treasury (in this section referred to as the
‘‘Secretary’’) shall strike gold and silver medals with suitable
emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by the Secretary.
(c) The Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze
of the medals struck pursuant to this section, under such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe, and a price sufficient to
cover the costs thereof, including labor, materials, dies, use of
machinery, and overhead expenses, and the cost of the medals.
(d) The medals struck pursuant to this section are national
medals for purposes of chapter 51, of title 31, United States Code.
(e)(1) There is authorized to be charged against the United
States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, such sums as may be necessary
to pay for the costs of the medals authorized by this section.
(2) Amounts received from the sale of duplicate medals under
this section shall be deposited in the United States Mint Public
Enterprise Fund.

to the petitioner, and publish in the Federal Register, notice
of and the reasons for such denial.
(4) FINALITY OF ORDER.—An order assessing a class II
civil penalty under this paragraph shall become final 30 days

(6) JUDICIAL REVIEW.—Any person against whom a civil
penalty is assessed under this paragraph or who commented

on the date the civil penalty order is issued and by simultaneously sending a copy of such notice by certified mail
to the Administrator or Secretary, as the case may be,
and the Attorney General. The Administrator or Secretary
shall promptly file in such court a certified copy of the
record on which the order was issued. Such court shall
not set aside or remand such order unless there is not
substantial evidence in the record, taken as a whole, to
support the finding of a violation or unless the Administrator’s or Secretary’s assessment of the penalty constitutes
an abuse of discretion and shall not impose additional
civil penalties for the same violation unless the Administrator’s or Secretary’s assessment of the penalty constitutes
an abuse of discretion.
(7) COLLECTION.—If any person fails to pay an assessment
of a civil penalty—
(A) after the assessment has become final, or
(B) after a court in an action brought under subsection
(6) has entered a final judgment in favor of the Administrator or Secretary, as the case may be, the Administrator
or Secretary shall request the Attorney General to bring
a civil action in an appropriate district court to recover
the amount assessed (plus interest at currently prevailing
rates from the date of the final order or the date of the
final judgment, as the case may be). In such an action,
the validity, amount, and appropriateness of such penalty
shall not be subject to review. Any person who fails to
pay on a timely basis the amount of an assessment of
a civil penalty as described in the first sentence of this
subparagraph shall be required to pay, in addition to such
amount and interest, attorneys fees and costs for collection
proceedings and a quarterly nonpayment penalty for each
quarter during which such failure to pay persists. Such
