SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Raoul Wallenberg Centennial
Celebration Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Raoul Wallenberg was born in Europe on August 4, 1912,
        to Swedish Christian parents.
            (2) In 1935, he graduated from the University of Michigan
        in Ann Arbor.
            (3) In a letter to his grandfather, Wallenberg wrote of his
        time in America: ``I feel so at home in my little Ann Arbor
        that I'm beginning to sink down roots here and have a hard time
        imagining my leaving it . . . Every now and then I feel strange
        when I think about how tiny my own country is and how large and
        wonderful America is.''.
            (4) Raoul returned to Sweden, where he began a career as a
        businessman, and afterwards, a Swedish diplomat.
            (5) In 1936, Raoul's grandfather arranged a position for
        him at the Holland Bank in Haifa, Palestine. There, Raoul began
        to meet young Jews who had already been forced to flee from
        Nazi persecution in Germany. Their stories affected him deeply.
            (6) He was greatly troubled by the fate of Jews in Europe,
        confiding to actress Viveca Lindfors the horrific plight of
        Jews under Nazi Europe.
            (7) Under the direction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
        the War Refugee Board was established in January 1944, to aid
        civilians who fell victim to the Nazi and Axis powers in
        Europe.
            (8) One of War Refugee Board's top priorities was
        protection of the 750,000 remaining Jews in Hungary.
            (9) It was decided that Raoul Wallenberg, aged 31 at the
        time, would be most effective in protecting Jews and victims of
        the Nazis in Hungary under the War Refugee Board. He was
        recruited by Iver Olsen, an agent for the United States Office
        of Strategic Services and sent to Budapest, Hungary, under his
        official profession as a Swedish diplomat. He was instructed to
        use passports and other creative means to save as many lives as
        possible.
            (10) Wallenberg created a new Swedish passport, the
        Schutzpass, which looked more imposing and official than the
        actual Swedish passport. He reportedly put up huge placards of
        it throughout Budapest to familiarize the Nazis with it. He
        unilaterally announced that it granted the holder immunity from
        the death camps. The Schutzpasses alone are credited with
        saving 20,000 Jewish lives.
            (11) In one example of his heroism, Wallenberg was told of
        a Nazi plot to round up several thousand Jewish women and acted
        swiftly to save them. Former Wallenberg staffer, Agnes Adachi,
        recalls the time, when she and her colleagues spent the whole
        night making approximately 2,000 Schutzpasses before 6 a.m.
        They were all completed and personally delivered to the women
        in time to save their lives.
            (12) Using the money the United States deposited with the
        War Refugee Board, Wallenberg was able to purchase
        approximately 30 buildings, which he used as hospitals,
        schools, soup kitchens, and safe houses for over 8,000 children
        whose parents had already been deported or killed.
            (13) Tommy Lapid, a young boy who was staying with his
        mother in a Swedish safe house (his father was already dead),
        gave an eyewitness account of how his family was helped by
        Wallenberg and the War Refugee Board: ``One morning, a group of
        Hungarian Fascists came into the house and said that all the
        able-bodied women must go with them. We knew what this meant.
        My mother kissed me and I cried and she cried. We knew we were
        parting forever and she left me there, an orphan to all intents
        and purposes. Then two or three hours later, to my amazement,
        my mother returned with the other women. It seemed like a
        mirage, a miracle. My mother was there--she was alive and she
        was hugging me and kissing me, and she said one word:
        Wallenberg.''.
            (14) Even as the war was coming to a close, Wallenberg
        remained vigilant and attentive to the people under his care.
        Adolf Eichmann, the SS colonel charged with the extermination
        of Jews in Eastern Europe, was determined to exterminate the
        70,000 Jews kept as prisoners in a guarded ghetto in Budapest.
        As soon as Wallenberg heard of the plot, he sent Pal Szalay, an
        Arrow-Crossman senior official, who defected and turned to
        Wallenberg. Szalay was sent to speak to General Schmidthuber,
        who was ordered to spearhead the ghetto extermination in
        Budapest. Szalay informed Schmidthuber that, seeing as the war
        was coming to an end, if the planned massacre took place,
        Wallenberg would see to it personally that Schmidthuber would
        be prosecuted as a war criminal and hanged. The plans were
        ultimately abandoned and considered Wallenberg's last big
        victory.
            (15) Of the 120,000 Jews in Hungary that survived, Raoul
        Wallenberg, acting under the War Refugee Board, is credited
        with saving an estimated 100,000 of them in a 6-month period.
            (16) These findings show that Raoul Wallenberg showed
        exceptional heroism and bravery with his actions during the
        Holocaust. Working with the War Refugee Board, a United States
        agency, he was able to save approximately 100,000 Jews in
        Hungary, many of whom were later able to immigrate to the
        United States.
            (17) Indeed, many American Jews can directly or indirectly
        attribute their own lives to Raoul Wallenberg's actions during
        World War II. Many of the people Wallenberg saved have been
        influential citizens contributing to American institutions and
        culture, including Congressman Tom Lantos (February 1, 1928-
        February 11, 2008) and the Liska Rebbe, Rabbi Yoizef (Joseph)
        Friedlander, who carried forth the Liska Hassidic dynasty from
        Hungary to the United States after being saved by Raoul
        Wallenberg.
            (18) His actions and character make him an excellent
        contender for a Congressional Gold Medal in time for the
        centennial of his birth, to celebrate his achievements and
        humanitarian accomplishments.

SEC. 8. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE REPORT.

    (a) Report Requirement.--Not later than 3 years after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall submit to
Congress a report comparing the number of small business concerns owned
and controlled by women procuring Federal contracts during the year
preceding the date of the enactment of this Act with the number of such
businesses during each of the 3 years occurring after such date. If the
number of such businesses did not increase significantly by the end of
the 3-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Comptroller General shall include in the report recommendations on
actions that could be taken to increase the number.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--If the report required under subsection (a)
shows that the number of small business concerns owned and controlled
by women did not increase significantly by the end of the 3-year period
beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, it is the sense of
Congress that further legislative steps should be taken to ensure that
the number of Federal contracts entered into with small business
concerns owned and controlled by women realistically reflects the
potential of such business concerns to perform Federal contracting and
subcontracting work.

Summary: Health Coverage Tax Credit Extension Act of 2015 This bill extends the tax credit for health insurance costs of a taxpayer and qualifying family members through 2019.

An eligible coverage month is a month in which an eligible individual is covered by qualified health insurance, does not have other specified coverage, and is not imprisoned. The bill also directs the Departments of the Treasury, Health and Human Services, and Labor and the PBGC to conduct a public outreach, including on the Internet, to inform individuals eligible for the tax credit for health insurance costs on the extension of such credit and the availability of the election to claim such credit retroactively for coverage months beginning after December 31, 2013.

                collects, processes, stores, transmits, disseminates,
                or otherwise maintains agency information, for the
                purpose of protecting the information system from, or

SEC. 5. REPORT TO CONGRESS REGARDING DHS FUNCTIONS.

    Section 3553 of title 44, United States Code, as amended by section
3, is further amended by adding at the end the following new
subsection:
    ``(i) Annual Report to Congress.--Not later than February 1 of
every year, the Secretary shall report to the Committee on Homeland
Security of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, regarding the specific
actions the Secretary has taken pursuant to subsections (b) and (h).''.

Summary: Cyber Defense of Federal Networks Act of 2015 Amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in coordination with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), to implement plans to: (1) detect, identify, and remove intruders in federal agencies' information systems. And (2) make advanced network security tools available for agencies to improve visibility of network activity to detect and mitigate intrusions and anomalous activity. Directs DHS to coordinate with the OMB to: (1) update government information security metrics to include measures of intrusion and incident detection and response times, and (2) display additional metrics about agency cybersecurity postures on federal government performance websites. Authorizes DHS, upon an agency's request, to operate and maintain technology that is deployed to agencies to diagnose and mitigate cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Requires DHS to regularly assess and require implementation of best practices for securing agency information systems and preventing data exfiltration. Redefines for purposes of DHS's national cybersecurity and communications integration center: (1) cybersecurity risk to exclude actions that solely involve a violation of a consumer term of service or a consumer licensing agreement. And (2) incident to include occurrences that actually or imminently jeopardize, without lawful authority, an information system, thereby replacing a standard that currently includes a violation or imminent threat of violation of law, security policies, security procedures, or acceptable use policies. Requires DHS to assist agencies in implementing information security practices by: (1) providing incident detection, analysis, mitigation, and response information, disseminating related homeland security information, and providing remote or onsite technical assistance. (2) developing and conducting impact assessments in consultation with other governmental and private entities, (3) assessing and fostering technologies for use across multiple agencies. And (4) ensuring that policies are coordinated with standards for national security systems and policies of the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Director of National Intelligence. Authorizes the DHS Secretary to: (1) issue a directive to an agency to take any lawful action with respect to the operation of an agency's information system in response to a known or reasonably suspected information security threat, vulnerability, risk, or incident, including an act of terrorism, that represents a substantial threat to information security. Or (2) authorize, without prior consultation with the affected agency, the use of protective capabilities under the Secretary's control for communications or system traffic transiting to or from or stored on an agency information system if there is an imminent threat and a directive is unlikely to be timely. Exempts DOD and the intelligence community from such procedures.


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Black Metropolis District National
Heritage Area Study Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Black Metropolis district on Chicago, Illinois'
        South Side has a cohesive and distinctive history as well as an
        important streetscape that distinguishes the area as worthy of
        designation as a National Heritage Area.
            (2) The historic features of Chicago's Black Metropolis
        District predate the Great Migration of 1916-1919 and
        illustrate its influence on African-American life in Chicago
        and the Nation as a result of this demographic phenomenon in
        which 500,000 African-Americans migrated to the North in search
        of work and other opportunities, with 50,000 of that aggregate
        relocating in Chicago.
            (3) The Black Metropolis, as a setting, witnessed some of
        the finest accomplishments in African-American contributions to
        Chicago, the State of Illinois, and the Nation, while its
        legally and socially proscribed citizens challenged their
        environment and their Nation to fulfill its promise as a place
        of opportunity for all.
            (4) These contributions and accomplishments fall into the
        following main categories:
                    (A) Business and entrepreneurial pursuits.--With
                State Street developing as the Black Metropolis
                District's ``Wall Street'', the area produced two of
                the largest Black banking operations in the Nation in
                the Binga State and Douglass National Banks and scores
                of smaller businesses ranging from print shops to
                restaurants to clothing stores to hair salons and
                barbershops.
                    (B) Culture and aesthetics.--The area emerged as a
                musical mecca ranging from jazz to gospel to delta and
                urban blues to rhythm and blues and was home for
                institutions such as the George Cleveland Hall Branch
                Library, which nurtured literary giants such as
                Langston Hughes, the South Side Community Arts Center,
                and the DuSable Museum of African American History and
                Culture.
                    (C) Education.--The area includes the first public
                secondary school in the State of Illinois built
                specifically to accommodate the educational needs of
                African-American students, which opened in 1934 at 4934
                South Wabash Avenue and was named in honor of Chicago's
                first non-native inhabitant and trader, Jean Baptiste
                Pointe du Sable, a Black man from Haiti, and whose
                illustrious graduates include Nat ``King'' Cole and
                Chicago Mayor Harold Washington.
                    (D) Governance and politics.--From its political
                bases in the area's Second Ward and the First
                Congressional District, Chicago's Black Metropolis
                proved itself a political center for all African-
                Americans, producing the first African-American to sit
                in Congress in the 20th Century, the Honorable Oscar
                DePriest, as well as the first African-American
                Democratic congressman, the Honorable Arthur W.
                Mitchell, succeeded by Honorable William L. Dawson, the
                Honorable Ralph H. Metcalfe, the Honorable Bennett M.
                Stewart, and the Honorable Harold Washington, later the
                city's first elected African-American mayor, and the
                Honorable Charles A. Hayes.
                    (E) Health care.--The area includes Provident
                Hospital, founded in 1891 by the brilliant African-
                American surgeon Dr. Daniel Hale Williams and site of
                the first successful suturing of the human heart by Dr.
                Williams in 1893.
                    (F) Labor.--The area was home to millions of
                unskilled and semi-skilled African-American workers,
                including the packinghouse workers who arrived during
                the Great Migration and constituted 25 percent of the
                stockyards work force during World War I, and the
                Pullman porters who represented a full 20 percent of
                the Nation's African-American workforce during the
                early 1900s.
                    (G) Military life and patriotism.--African-American
                men enlisted in the Union Army on the grounds of Camp
                Douglass within the Black Metropolis District as part
                of the 29th Infantry Regiment of the United States
                Colored Troops, and a generation later trained at the
                Eighth Regiment Armory nearby before embarking for
                France as part of what President Wilson referred to as
                the great crusade to ``make the world safe for
                democracy'' during the World War I.
                    (H) Recreation and competitive sports.--Early on,
                the Nation's most popular sports: baseball, boxing,
                football, track and basketball, enjoyed support from
                the Black Metropolis' population and drew participants
                who earned widespread recognition such as Rube Foster,
                a native Chicagoan, who founded the Negro Baseball
                League and its local team, the American Giants.
                    (I) Religion and church activism.--The area
                includes Quinn Chapel African Methodist Episcopal
                (A.M.E) Church, an antebellum center of abolitionist
                activity, and a major station on the Underground
                Railroad, and with emancipation, there was another
                religious movement to provide and protect the civil
                rights of all citizens led by Black Metropolis churches
                such as Quinn Chapel and Bethel A.M.E.
                    (J) Social justice and civil rights.--It was from
                within the Black Metropolis District in the early 20th
                century that Ida B. Wells-Barnett waged her crusade for
                justice for African-Americans and women and worked to
                establish the first National Association for the
                Advancement of Colored People branch in that group's
                national network in 1912.
                    (K) Streetscapes.--The area includes many historic
                locations, including those along State Street and 35th
                Street, ranging from the Overton Hygienic Manufacturing
                Building at 3617 South State Street and the Chicago Bee
                Building at 3647 South State Street (both designated as
                Chicago City Landmarks) to Liberty Life Insurance
                Company at 3501 South Parkway and a monument and park
                dedicated to United States Senator Stephen Douglas
                (designated as a State Landmark) at Lake Park Avenue
                and 35th Street, green and public spaces, stretching
                from Chicago's lakefront to historic park and boulevard
                systems to the West, and is now the proposed site for
                the 2016 Olympics in the City of Chicago's bid to host
                this event.
