SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) A comprehensive peace agreement for Sudan, as
        envisioned in the Sudan Peace Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 note), and in
        the Machakos Protocol of 2002, is in grave jeopardy.
            (2) Since 1989, the Government of Sudan has repeatedly
        engaged in and sponsored orchestrated campaigns of attacking
        and dislocating targeted civilian populations, disrupting their
        ability to sustain themselves, and subsequently restricting
        assistance to those displaced in a coordinated policy of ethnic
        cleansing and Arabization that is most recently evident in the
        Darfur region of Sudan.
            (3) In response to 2 decades of civil conflict in Sudan,
        the United States has helped to establish an internationally
        supported peace process to promote a negotiated settlement to
        the war that has resulted in a framework peace agreement, the
        Nairobi Declaration on the Final Phase of Peace in the Sudan
        signed June 5, 2004.
            (4) At the same time that the Government of Sudan was
        negotiating for a final countrywide peace, enumerated in the
        Nairobi Declaration on the Final Phase of Peace in the Sudan,
        it refused to engage in any discussion with regard to its
        ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing in the region of Darfur.
            (5) According to United States and United Nations
        officials, the Government of Sudan has engaged in an
        orchestrated campaign, with the assistance of its Arab Sudanese
        proxy militia, the Janjaweed, to cleanse a significant part of
        the ethnically African population from North Darfur, West
        Darfur, and South Darfur, Sudan.
            (6) The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
        identified ``massive human rights violations in Darfur
        perpetrated by the Government of Sudan and the Janjaweed, which
        may constitute war crimes and/or crimes against humanity''.
            (7) Evidence collected by international observers in the
        Darfur region between January 2003 and July 2004 indicate a
        coordinated effort to target African Sudanese civilians in a
        scorched earth policy, from both air and ground, that has
        destroyed African Sudanese villages, killing and driving away
        its people, while Arab Sudanese villages have been left
        unscathed.
            (8) As a result of this coordinated campaign that may well
        constitute genocide, reports indicate tens of thousands of
        African Sudanese civilians killed, the systematic rape of
        hundreds of women and girls, the destruction of hundreds of
        Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa villages and other ethnically African
        populations, including the poisoning of their wells and the
        plunder of crops and cattle upon which they sustain themselves.
            (9) According to the United Nations High Commissioner for
        Refugees, 1,200,000 people have been displaced in the Darfur
        region of Sudan of whom nearly 200,000 have been forced to flee
        to Chad as refugees.
            (10) Even as refugees were fleeing Sudan, the Government of
        Sudan conducted aerial attack missions and deadly raids across
        the international border between Sudan and Chad in an illegal
        effort to pursue Sudanese civilians seeking refuge in Chad.
            (11) In addition to the thousands of violent deaths
        directly caused by ongoing Sudanese military and government
        sponsored Janjaweed attacks in the Darfur region, the
        Government of Sudan has restricted humanitarian and human
        rights workers' access to the Darfur area, primarily through
        bureaucratic and administrative obstruction and delays in an
        attempt to inflict the most devastating harm on those displaced
        from their villages and homes without any means of sustenance
        or shelter.
            (12) The Government of Sudan's continued support for the
        Janjaweed and their obstruction of the delivery of food,
        shelter, and medical care to the Darfur region--
                    (A) is estimated to be causing 500 deaths each day;
                and
                    (B) is projected to escalate to 1,200 deaths each
                day by August 2004, and 2,400 deaths each day by
                December 2004, so that even a best-case scenario will
                likely result in the death of more than 320,000 people
                between April 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004.
            (13) The Government of Chad in N'Djamena served an
        important role in facilitating the Darfur Humanitarian Cease-
        fire dated April 8, 2004 for the Darfur region between the
Government of Sudan and the 2 opposition rebel groups in Darfur (the
JEM and the SLA) although both sides have violated it repeatedly.
            (14) The Government and people of Chad have allowed the
        entry of 200,000 refugees from the Darfur region of Sudan and
        have generally facilitated the delivery of international
        humanitarian assistance, although logistical obstacles remain a
        challenge in a crisis that is taxing the people of eastern Chad
        and the refugees.
            (15) The cooperation and mediation of the SPLM is critical
        to bringing about a political settlement between the Government
        of Sudan, the SLA, and the JEM.

SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE CONFLICT IN DARFUR, SUDAN.

    (a) Sudan Peace Act.--It is the sense of Congress that the Sudan
Peace Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 note) remains relevant and should be extended
to include the Darfur region of Sudan.
    (b) Actions To Address the Conflict.--It is the sense of Congress
that--
            (1) a legitimate countrywide peace in Sudan will only be
        possible if the principles and purpose of the Machakos Protocol
        of 2002 and the Nairobi Declaration on the Final Phase of Peace
        in the Sudan signed June 5, 2004, negotiated with the SPLM,
        should apply to all of Sudan and to all of the people of Sudan,
        including the Darfur region;
            (2) the parties to the Darfur Humanitarian Cease-fire dated
        April 8, 2004 (the Government of Sudan, the SLA, and the JEM)
        must meet their obligations under that agreement to allow safe
        and immediate access of all humanitarian assistance throughout
        the Darfur region and must expedite the conclusion of a
        political agreement to end the conflict in Darfur;
            (3) the United States should continue to provide
        humanitarian assistance to the areas of Sudan to which the
        United States has access and, at the same time, develop a plan
        similar to that described in section 10 of the Sudan Peace Act
        to provide assistance to the areas of Sudan to which United
        States access has been obstructed or denied;
            (4) the international community, including African, Arab,
        and Muslim nations, should immediately provide logistical,
        financial, in-kind, and personnel resources necessary to save
        the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals in the Darfur
        crisis;
            (5) the United States Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes
        should travel to Chad and the Darfur region immediately to
        investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity, to develop
        a more accurate portrayal of the situation on the ground and
        best inform the report required in section 11(b) of the Sudan
        Peace Act;
            (6) the United States and the international community
        should use all necessary means to assist in the immediate
        deployment of the full mandated African Union contingent of 100
        monitors and a security force of 300, and work to increase the
        authorized level to that which properly addresses the gravity
        and scope of the problem in a region the size of France;
            (7) the President should immediately name a new Special
        Envoy to Sudan to further efforts begun by John Danforth and to
        allow the United States to continue to lead the peace effort
        toward a comprehensive and sustainable peace in Sudan;
            (8) the President should use all means to facilitate a
        comprehensive solution to the conflict in Sudan, including by
        directing the United States Permanent Representative to the
        United Nations to pursue a resolution of the United Nations
        Security Council that--
                    (A) condemns the actions of the Government of Sudan
                in engaging in an orchestrated campaign of ethnic
                cleansing in Darfur;
                    (B) calls on the Government of Sudan to cease
                support of ethnic cleansing and the killing of innocent
                civilians, disarm the Janjaweed militias, prevent such
                militias from harassing and killing civilians, and
                ensure immediate access for all humanitarian assistance
                to all areas of Darfur;
                    (C) calls on all parties to the conflict in the
                Darfur region to permit unimpeded delivery of
                humanitarian assistance directly to Darfur and to allow
                such assistance to cross directly from countries that
                border Sudan, and abide by the Darfur Humanitarian
                Cease-fire dated April 8, 2004;
                    (D) calls on the Government of Sudan to provide all
                assistance possible, including release of its strategic
                food reserves to respond to the Darfur crisis;
                    (E) calls on the international community,
                particularly those countries with strong economic ties
                to Sudan, to expedite the provision of humanitarian
                assistance to Darfur;
                    (F) endorses the African Union Observer and
                Protection Force now deploying to the Darfur region of
                Sudan;
                    (G) establishes an international commission of
                inquiry to examine the actions and accountability of
                those responsible for war crimes and crimes against
                humanity that have precipitated and perpetuated the
                humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region; and
                    (H) confirms the right of all displaced Sudanese to
                return to their land under safe and secure conditions;
            (9) the United Nations should immediately deploy a United
        Nations force to Sudan to ensure an appropriate international
        humanitarian response to the catastrophe in the Darfur region;
            (10) sanctions should be imposed on the assets and
        activities of those Sudanese government officials and other
        individuals that are involved in carrying out the policy of
        ethnic cleansing in the Darfur region; and
            (11) the Government of the United States should not
        normalize relations with Sudan, including through the lifting
of any sanctions, until the Government of Sudan agrees to and
implements a comprehensive peace agreement for all areas of Sudan,
including Darfur.

And (2) receive instead a prorated amount of the taxes appropriated to the Highway Trust Fund which are attributable to highway users in the state. Requires a pro rata reduction of such tax-equivalent amount in order to fund contract authority for programs of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Requires the Secretary to accept a state's election if: (1) the state has an interstate maintenance program. (2) it submits a plan describing the purposes, projects, and uses to which such amounts will be put and the federal-aid highway programmatic requirements the state elects to continue. (3) the state agrees to obligate program amounts exclusively for projects that would be eligible for surface transportation program funding. And (4) it continues to suballocate surface transportation program funds to urbanized and other areas using certain formulae and rules.

A bill to permit a State to elect to receive the State's contributions to the Highway Trust Fund in lieu of its Federal-aid Highway program apportionment for the next fiscal year, and for other purposes.


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Education Flexibility Amendments of
1998''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) States differ substantially in demographics, in school
        governance, and in school finance and funding. The
        administrative and funding mechanisms that help schools in 1
        State improve may not prove successful in other States.
            (2) Although the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of
        1965 and other Federal education statutes afford flexibility to
        State and local educational agencies in implementing Federal
        programs, certain requirements of Federal education statutes or
        regulations may impede local efforts to reform and improve
        education.
            (3) By granting waivers of certain statutory and regulatory
        requirements, the Federal Government can remove impediments for
        local educational agencies in implementing educational reforms
        and raising the achievement levels of all children.
            (4) State educational agencies are closer to local school
        systems, implement statewide educational reforms with both
        Federal and State funds, and are responsible for maintaining
        accountability for local activities consistent with State
        standards and assessment systems. Therefore, State educational
        agencies are often in the best position to align waivers of
        Federal and State requirements with State and local
        initiatives.
            (5) The Education Flexibility Partnership Demonstration Act
        allows State educational agencies the flexibility to waive
        certain Federal requirements, along with related State
        requirements, but allows only 12 States to qualify for such
        waivers.
            (6) Expansion of the waiver authority under such Act will
        allow for the waiver of statutory and regulatory requirements
        that impede implementation of State and local educational
        improvement plans, or that unnecessarily burden program
        administration, while maintaining the intent and purposes of
        affected programs, and maintaining such fundamental
        requirements as those relating to civil rights, educational
        equity, and accountability.
            (7) To achieve the State goals for the education of
        children in the State, the focus must be on results in raising
        the achievement of all students, not process.

SEC. 3. EXPANSION OF THE EDUCATION FLEXIBILITY PARTNERSHIP

    (a) In General.--Section 311(e) of the Goals 2000: Educate America

                        educational agencies in the State are producing

                        required by section 1116(a) of such Act; or

        the content area or areas in which the teachers provide
        instruction; and

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Common Sense Prison Work and Victim
Restitution Act of 1998''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) work is inherently American and honorable;
            (2) work is of fundamental importance to any orderly
        society which reveres such common values as responsibility,
        independence, and respect for others;
            (3) in order to reduce recidivism, provide restitution to
        victims, reparations to communities, and promote the values of
        responsibility, independence, and respect for others, the
        Federal Government should enact policies which expand work,
        educational, and life skills opportunities for prisoners
        incarcerated in Federal and State penal institutions;
            (4) American taxpayers are justified to expect that
        prisoners reimburse the United States Treasury for the cost of
        their incarceration, and in addition, that prisoners should
        make monetary restitution to a fund which benefits the victims
        of crime;
            (5) prisoners should be prohibited from engaging in certain
        types of activities which are not healthy and conducive to
        their successful rehabilitation and restitution;
            (6) prisoners should not have access to certain amenities
        which are unnecessary, enhance leisure activities, or do not
        promote successful rehabilitation;
            (7) existing Federal laws limit prisoners from engaging in
        work, and do not impose mandatory work requirements for
        prisoners;
            (8) existing barriers to prisoner labor should be removed
        and Federal laws should be strengthened to ensure that
        prisoners, their victims, taxpayers, and society in general
        reap the maximum benefits and positive values associated with
        work; and
            (9) when implemented effectively, shock incarceration, or
        ``boot camp'' programs, can provide offenders with a heightened
        sense of personal responsibility, confidence, self-discipline,
        and an increased ability to make a successful return to the
        community while maximizing and fostering a safe and orderly
        work environment for corrections' personnel.

SEC. 3. WORK REQUIREMENT FOR FEDERAL PRISONERS.

    (a) Work Requirement.--Section 2905 of the Crime Control Act of
1990 (18 U.S.C. 4121 note) is amended by adding at the end of
subsection (a) the following: ``Subject to this section, such inmates
shall engage in work for not less than 50 hours weekly. In addition
inmates shall engage job-training and educational and life skills
preparation study. In the event that opportunities otherwise provided
by law for inmates to work are not sufficient to meet the requirements
of the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the services of prisoners may also be made available to nonprofit
entities to carry out any of their business or other functions. Each
authority of the United States that makes grants to nonprofit entities
shall take appropriate action to inform such entities of the
availability of inmates for this purpose. The Attorney General shall
make rules governing the provision of services by inmates to such
entities and the payment of any wages or other compensation for such
services.''.
    (b) Use of Prison Labor by Private Entities.--The Attorney General
shall, not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this
Act, submit legislative recommendations to Congress to permit Federal
prisoners to perform work for private employers while minimizing the
economic impact on the private sector of this expansion of the use of
prison labor.
    (c) Use of Revenues From Prison Labor.--
            (1) There is established in the Treasury a Fund
        (hereinafter in this subsection referred to as the ``Fund'').
            (2) All proceeds and wages, less any taxes or withholding
        required by Federal or State law, from prison labor performed
        by inmates under the supervision of the Attorney General shall
        be placed in the Fund.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Fab Lab Network Act of
2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Scientific discoveries and technical innovations are
        critical to the economic and national security of the United
        States.
            (2) Maintaining the leadership of the United States in
        science, technology, engineering, and mathematics will require
        a diverse population with the skills, interest, and access to
        tools required to advance these fields.
            (3) Just as earlier digital revolutions in communications
        and computation provided individuals with the Internet and
        personal computers, a digital revolution in fabrication will
        allow anyone to make almost anything, anywhere.
            (4) Fab labs like the Center for Bits and Atoms at the
        Massachusetts Institute of Technology provide a model for a new
        kind of national laboratory that links local facilities for
        advanced manufacturing to expand access and empower
        communities.
            (5) A coordinated national public-private partnership will
        be the most effective way to accelerate the provision of this
        infrastructure for learning skills, developing inventions,
        creating businesses, and producing personalized products.
