other House a joint resolution described in paragraph (1), then the
following procedures shall apply:
            (A) The joint resolution 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

            (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of
        Representatives and the Senate, respectively, and, as such,
        shall be considered as part of the rules of either House and
        shall supersede other rules only to the extent they are
        inconsistent therewith; and
            (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of
        either House to change the rules so far as they relate to the
        procedures of that House at any time, in the same manner, and
        to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that
        House.

SEC. 5. OPERATIONALLY REALISTIC TESTING AGAINST COUNTERMEASURES FOR
              NATIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE.

    (a) Testing Requirements.--The Secretary of Defense shall direct
the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization--
            (1) to include in the ground and flight testing of the
        National Missile Defense system that is conducted before the
        system becomes operational any countermeasures (including
        decoys) that--
                    (A) are likely, or at least realistically possible,
                to be used against the system; and
                    (B) are chosen for testing on the basis of what
                countermeasure capabilities a long-range missile could
                have and is likely to have, taking into consideration
                the technology that the country deploying the missile
                would have or could likely acquire; and
            (2) to determine the extent to which the exoatmospheric
        kill vehicle and the National Missile Defense system can
        reliably discriminate between warheads and such
        countermeasures.
    (b) Funding Requirements.--The Secretary, in consultation with the
Director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, shall--
            (1) determine the amount of additional funding, if any, for
        the National Missile Defense system (in addition to that
        previously programmed) that may be necessary for the Secretary
        to fulfill the requirements set forth in subsection (a) in
        fiscal years after fiscal year 2002; and
            (2) submit that determination to the congressional defense
        committees at the same time that the President submits the
        budget for fiscal year 2003 to Congress under section 1105(a)
        of title 31, United States Code.
    (c) Report by Secretary of Defense.--(1) The Secretary of Defense
shall submit to Congress, not later than April 15 each year, an annual
report on the Department's efforts to establish a program for
operationally realistic testing of the National Missile Defense system
against countermeasures. The report shall be submitted in both
classified and unclassified form.
    (2) Each such report shall include the Secretary's assessment of
the following:
            (A) The countermeasures available to foreign countries with
        ballistic missiles that the National Missile Defense system
        could encounter in a launch of such missiles against the United
        States.
            (B) The ability of the National Missile Defense system to
        defeat such countermeasures, including the ability of the
        system to discriminate between countermeasures and reentry
        vehicles.
            (C) The plans to demonstrate the capability of the National
        Missile Defense system to defeat such countermeasures and the
        adequacy of the ground and flight testing to demonstrate that
        capability.
    (3) No annual report is required under this subsection after the
National Missile Defense system becomes operational.
    (d) Independent Review Panel.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall
seek to arrange for the National Academy of Science to establish an
independent panel to be composed of scientific and technical experts.
    (2) The Panel shall assess the following:
            (A) The countermeasures available for use against the
        United States National Missile Defense system.
            (B) The operational effectiveness of that system against
        those countermeasures.
            (C) The adequacy of the National Missile Defense flight
        testing program to demonstrate the capability of the system to
        defeat the countermeasures.
    (3) After conducting the assessment required under paragraph (2),
the Panel shall evaluate--
            (A) whether sufficient ground and flight testing of the
        system will have been conducted before the system becomes
        operational to support the making of a determination, with a
        justifiably high level of confidence, regarding the operational
        effectiveness of the system;
            (B) whether adequate ground and flight testing of the
        system will have been conducted, before the system becomes
        operational, against the countermeasures that are likely, or at
        least realistically possible, to be used against the system and
        that other countries have or likely could acquire; and
            (C) whether the exoatmospheric kill vehicle and the rest of
        the National Missile Defense system can reliably discriminate
        between warheads and such countermeasures.
    (4) Not later than April 15 each year, the Panel shall submit to
the Secretary of Defense and to Congress a report on its assessments
and evaluations. The report shall include any recommendations for
improving the flight testing program for the National Missile Defense
system or the operational capability of the system to defeat
countermeasures that the Panel determines appropriate.
    (e) Countermeasure Defined.--In this section, the term
``countermeasure''--
            (1) means any deliberate action taken by a country with
        long-range ballistic missiles to defeat or otherwise counter a
        United States National Missile Defense system; and
            (2) includes, among other actions--
                    (A) use of a submunition released by a ballistic
                missile soon after the boost phase of the missile;
                    (B) use of anti-simulation, together with such
                decoys as Mylar balloons, to disguise the signature of
                the warhead; and
                    (C) use of a shroud cooled with liquid nitrogen to
                reduce the infrared signature of the warhead.

Summary: National Missile Defense Deployment Criteria Act of 2001 - Amends the National Missile Defense Act of 1999 to allow deployment of a national missile defense system (system) only if: (1) the system is technologically feasible. (2) system cost in relation to other Department of Defense (DOD) priorities will not lead to an overall reduction in national security by reducing resources available for other defense priorities, (3) the system will not diminish overall US national security. (4) the system will not threaten to disrupt relations with US nuclear allies, US European allies, Russia, the People's Republic of China, and other nations. And (5) the threat of a long-range ballistic missile attack from a nation of concern is clearly demonstrated. Prohibits the President from directing DOD to deploy a system unless and until: (1) the President certifies to Congress that the above deployment conditions have been met. And (2) a joint resolution is enacted concurring in the President's certification. Prohibits DOD procurement funds from being obligated for a system unless: (1) the President certifies to Congress that adequate system tests have been undertaken to meet identified threats against countermeasures. And (2) a joint resolution is enacted concurring in the President's certification. Requires the Secretary of Defense to direct the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to: (1) include specified system countermeasures in system ground and flight testing conducted before the system becomes operational. And (2) determine the extent to which the exoatmospheric kill vehicle and the system can reliably discriminate between warheads and such countermeasures.

To provide deployment criteria for the National Missile Defense system, and to provide for operationally realistic testing of the National Defense system against countermeasures.


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Reserve Board Civil Rights
Compliance Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a
        milestone embodying a national policy of equal protection under
        the law regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national
        origin.
            (2) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects
        individuals against discrimination in the workplace.
            (3) Section 717 of title VII of such Act applies to all
        personnel actions affecting employees and applicants for
        employment in an ``executive agency''.
            (4) An ``executive agency'' is defined in section 105 of
        title 5, United States Code, to include an ``independent
        establishment'' in the executive branch.
            (5) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        exercises extensive regulatory and enforcement authority as a
        Federal banking agency (as defined in section 3 of the Federal
        Deposit Insurance Act) with regard to State banks which are
        members of a Federal reserve bank, bank holding companies, and
        foreign bank operations in the United States under the Federal
        Reserve Act, the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, the Banking
        Act of 1933, the International Banking Act of 1978, the Federal
        Deposit Insurance Act, and other Federal laws, including the
        authority to remove directors, officers, and employees from
        their positions in banks and bank holding companies, the
        authority to impose large civil money penalties, and the
        authority to order the divestiture of banks by bank holding
        companies.
            (6) The Supreme Court of the United States has stated in
        the case of Bowsher, Comptroller General of the United States
        v. Synar, Member of Congress, et al., 478 U.S. 714, 733 (1986),
        that ``[i]nterpreting a law enacted by Congress to implement
        the legislative mandate is the very essence of `execution' of
        the law'' and noted that the exercise of judgment concerning
        facts that affect the application of an Act is typically made
        by officers charged with executing a statute, ibid.
            (7) The activities of the Board of Governors of the Federal
        Reserve System clearly constitute ``execution of the law'' and
        the Board is, therefore, clearly and unambiguously an
        independent establishment in the executive branch (as such term
        is used in section 104 of title 5, United States Code).
            (8) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is
        responsible for enforcing compliance with title VII of the
        Civil Rights Act of 1964, has consistently and properly
        interpreted title VII as applying to the Board of Governors of
        the Federal Reserve System.
            (9) The United States Court of Appeals for the District of
        Columbia Circuit established, in the case of Hilliard v.
        Volcker, 659 F.2d 1125 (D.C. Cir. 1981), that the Board of
        Governors of the Federal Reserve System is an executive agency
        within the meaning of section 105 of title 5, United States
        Code, and section 717 of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
        1964.
            (10) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        did not argue to the contrary while the case of Hilliard v.
        Volcker was before the United States Court of Appeals for the
        District of Columbia Circuit.
            (11) On October 17, 1994, a jury in the case Bennett v.
        Greenspan, C.A. No. 98-0813-RMU, (Dt. D.C.) found the Board of
        Governors of the Federal Reserve liable for racial
        discrimination, and retaliation, in violation of title VII of
        the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
            (12) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        has repeatedly suggested in correspondence with the Congress
        that such Board is not an executive agency under section 105 of
        title 5, United States Code, and is therefore not covered by
        title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
            (13) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
        has acted inconsistently with current law in suggesting,
        despite--
                    (A) the unambiguous meaning of section 105 of title
                5, United States Code,
                    (B) the unambiguous language title VII of the Civil
                Rights Act of 1964, and
                    (C) the clear applicability of title VII of the
                Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the Board of Governors of
                the Federal Reserve in several cases brought against
                the Board in the courts of the United States,
        that the Board is not covered by title VII of the Civil Rights
        Act of 1964.

SEC. 3. REQUIRED POSTING OF NOTICES.

    The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System shall post and
keep posted in conspicuous places upon its premises where such notices
to employees and applicants for employment are customarily posted, and
at such other places as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission may
determine, a notice to be prepared or approved by the Commission
setting forth--
            (1) excerpts from or summaries of the pertinent provisions
        of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e
        et seq.), and
            (2) information pertinent to the rights and procedures
        applicable under such Acts to employees of, and applicants for
        employment by, the Board.

SEC. 4. REPORT ON COMPLIANCE.

    Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System shall submit
a report, to the Committee on Banking and Financial Services of the
House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs of the Senate, describing in detail the actions taken by
the Board to achieve compliance with section 717 of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-16).

Summary: Federal Reserve Board Civil Rights Compliance Act of 1999 - Directs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to post at its premises a notice to be prepared or approved by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission setting forth excerpts from or summaries of the pertinent provisions of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and information pertinent to the rights and procedures applicable under such Act to Board employees and applicants. Requires the Board to report to the congressional banking committees on actions it has taken to achieve compliance with such Act.


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.

        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.

        qualified mortgage being refinanced.
            (3) Interest rate.--The mortgage shall bear interest at a
        single rate that is fixed for the entire term of the mortgage,
        which shall be equivalent to the premium received by the
        enterprise on the qualified mortgage being refinanced plus the
        cost of selling a newly issued mortgage having comparable risk
        and term to maturity in a mortgage-backed security, as such
        rate may be increased to the extent necessary to cover, over

        servicer pursuant to subsection (d), the cost of any title
        insurance coverage issued in connection with the mortgage, and,

        issued in connection with the mortgage shall be reasonable in
        comparison with fees for such coverage available in the market
        for mortgages having similar terms.
    (d) Fee to Servicer.--The Director may, in the Director's sole
discretion, require each enterprise to pay to the servicer of a
qualified mortgage a fee, in such amount as the Director considers
appropriate, for each qualified mortgage of an enterprise that the
servicer refinances through a refinancing mortgage pursuant to this
section.
    (e) No Appraisal.--The enterprises may not require an appraisal of
the property subject to a refinancing mortgage to be conducted in
connection with such refinancing.
    (f) Termination.--The requirement under subsection (a) for the

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States has run persistent trade deficits
        since 1978, and many of the trade deficits since 2000 have been
        especially large.
            (2) The United States trade deficit rose from
        $374,900,000,000 in 2009 to $497,800,000,000 in 2010, an
        increase of 33 percent.
            (3) Many of the trade deficits are structural--that is,
        with the same countries, year after year. In 2010, the United
        States continued to have significant merchandise trade deficits
        with the People's Republic of China ($273,100,000,000), the
        European Union ($79,800,000,000), Japan ($59,800,000,000), and
        Mexico ($66,300,000,000), notwithstanding the overall decline
        in the United States trade deficit. In fact, in 2010, China
        accounted for 42 percent of the United States merchandise trade
        deficit.
            (4) While the United States has one of the most open
        borders and economies in the world, the United States faces
        significant tariff and nontariff trade barriers with its
        trading partners.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Maggie's Law: National Drowsy
Driving Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) A 1995 Federal study conservatively estimated that each
        year--
                    (A) 100,000 police-reported motor vehicle crashes
                are caused by the drowsiness or fatigue of the
                operator;
                    (B) 1,550 deaths and 71,000 injuries are the direct
                result of a driver falling asleep at the wheel of a
                motor vehicle; and
                    (C) these crashes represent at least
                $12,500,000,000 in diminished productivity and property
                loss.
            (2) Scientific research further demonstrates that--
                    (A) 1,000,000 crashes are caused by driver
                inattention each year; and
                    (B) sleep deprivation and fatigue make such
                attention lapses more likely to occur.
            (3) An insufficient amount of statistical data and
        documentation concerning fatigue-related motor vehicle crashes
        is available. Federal statistics significantly under-report the
        problem of driver fatigue because the statistics are derived
        primarily from police accident reports, and studies indicate
        that less than one-half of all crashes are reported to the
        police.
            (4) Further complicating the collection of accurate data
        are the following facts:
                    (A) Most police officers are not trained to detect
                sleep-related crashes.
                    (B) There is no test to determine sleepiness as
                there is for drunk drivers.
                    (C) There are still States that do not have proper
                codes for sleepiness on their crash report forms.
                    (D) Based on clinical studies, many people are
                unable to accurately recognize when they have nodded-
                off for a short period of time (microsleep), thus
                raising questions about the reliability of self-
                reporting.
            (5) In 1999, a scientifically conducted national survey of
        Americans found that 23 percent of respondents reported that
        they personally know someone who crashed in the past year due
        to falling asleep at the wheel.
            (6) In 2001, a scientifically conducted national survey of
        Americans found that in the past year--
                    (A) 53 percent of all adults reported driving while
                drowsy;
                    (B) 19 percent reported that they had actually
                dozed off while driving; and
                    (C) one percent reported that they had crashed
                because they dozed off.
            (7) Studies confirm that while anyone can be at risk for
        drowsy driving, there are several population groups that are
        significantly at higher risk--
                    (A) young people under the age of 26, who tend to
                stay up late, sleep too little, and drive at night,
                represent about 55 percent of all fall asleep crashes;
                    (B) there are over 20,000,000 shift workers in
                America and studies suggest that 20 percent to 30
                percent of individuals with nontraditional work
                schedules have had a fatigue-related driving mishap in
                the last year;
                    (C) commercial drivers are susceptible to fatigue-
                related crashes due to their driving schedules and the
                amount of miles they drive during the year;
                    (D) commercial drivers have a high prevalence of a
                sleep and breathing disorder called sleep apnea; and
                    (E) 40,000,000 Americans suffer from sleep
                disorders; left untreated, disorders such as sleep
                apnea can increase crash risk 3 to 7 times.
            (8) In 1995, a study found that some roads, such as high-
        speed, long, boring, rural highways, are more dangerous than
        others for sleep-deprived motorists. The New York State Police
        estimated that 40 percent of all fatal crashes along the New
        York Thruway were the result of a driver falling asleep at the
        wheel.
            (9) Studies, such as the following, indicate that
        continuous shoulder rumble strips are effective countermeasures
        to drift-off-the-road crashes, which are characteristic of
        drowsy driving, and fall-asleep crashes--
                    (A) New York State reports that accidents caused by
                drivers falling asleep at 13 sites on the New York
                Thruway were reduced by 84 percent following the
                installation of continuous shoulder rumble strips.
                    (B) Pennsylvania reports a reduction of guard rail
                or embankment accidents at 5 sites on the Pennsylvania
                Turnpike following rumble strip installation.
                    (C) In 1995, an expert panel consisting of
                university and federal researchers convened to assess
                the current research regarding the effectiveness of
                continuous shoulder rumble strips and to make
                recommendations about their use. The panel concluded
                that rumble strips reduce drift-off-the-road crashes
                anywhere from 15 to 70 percent depending on road type
                and rumble strip design being used.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Sexual Harassment Prevention Act of
1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Sexual harassment in employment persists widely in the
        workplace, although it violates title VII of the Civil Rights
        Act of 1964 and adversely affects employees.
            (2) According to guidelines issued by the Equal Employment
        Opportunity Commission in 1980, the most effective tool for
        eliminating sexual harassment is prevention.
            (3) The United States Merit Systems Protection Board found
        in 1981 and 1988 surveys of Federal Government employees that
        42 percent of female employees and 14 percent of male employees
        questioned had experienced some kind of harassment in
        employment. The American Psychological Association estimates
        that at least \1/2\ of all working women have been sexually
        harassed at the workplace during their careers.
            (4) The vast majority of sexual harassment episodes go
        unreported to a supervisory employee or other individual
        designated by the employer. Only 5 percent of the Government
        employees who indicated in the 1988 Merit Systems Protection
        Board survey that they had been harassed filed a formal
        complaint or requested an investigation of the harassment.
            (5) Sexual harassment has a significant cost for employees
        and employers. A 1988 study by Working Woman Magazine shows
        that sexual harassment costs a typical ``Fortune 500'' employer
        $6,000,000, or $292.53 per employee, each year. The same study
        estimates that it is 34 times more expensive for such an
        employer to ignore the problem than it is to establish
        effective programs and policies to address the problem.
            (6) Most job growth over the next decade is expected to
        occur in employment by small employers. Sixty-six percent of
        the individuals who will enter the work force during this
        period are expected to be female. The establishment of programs
        and policies in small-business environments, at a low cost to
        employers, will be a key prevention priority to reduce sexual
        harassment in employment.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to establish workplace requirements that will reduce
        the incidence of sexual harassment in employment,
            (2) to provide a low-cost system to assist employers to
        establish programs and policies to prevent sexual harassment in
        employment,
            (3) to raise the awareness of employees of the definition
        of sexual harassment and of available avenues of redress, and
            (4) to increase the authority and capacity of the Equal
        Employment Opportunity Commission to assist in preventing
        sexual harassment in employment.

SEC. 3. EMPLOYER REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Posting of Notice in the Workplace.--Each employer shall post

            (1) the definition of sexual harassment found in section
        1604.11(a) of title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (July
        1, 1992),
            (2) the fact that sexual harassment in employment is a
        violation of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
            (3) information describing how to file with the Commission
        a complaint alleging such harassment, including information on
        the time periods within which an alleged victim of
        discrimination (including sexual harassment) must file a charge
        with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or a State or
        local fair employment agency, in order to satisfy the statute
        of limitations applicable to claims under title VII,
            (4) an address, and the toll-free telephone number, to be
        used to contact the Commission regarding such harassment or
        compliance with the requirements of this Act, and
            (5) such other information as the Commission may require.
    (b) Separate Notice to Individual Employees.--Each employer shall
provide annually to each employee separately a written notice that
includes--
            (1) the matters specified in paragraphs (1) through (4) of
        subsection (a),

        employer to resolve allegations of sexual harassment in
        employment, and
            (3) such other information as the Commission may require.
Such notice shall be provided in a manner that ensures that such
employee actually receives such notice.
    (c) Management Information for Supervisory Employees.--Not later
than 60 days after an employer places an individual in a supervisory
employment position or 1 year after the date of the enactment of this
Act, whichever occurs later, such employer shall provide to the
