SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Windstorm Hazard Reduction Research
and Technology Transfer Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Coastal States and many island States and territories
        are vulnerable to the hazards of windstorms. All Midwest,
        Southern, and Mid-Atlantic States are vulnerable to the hazards
        of tornadoes and thunderstorms and increased building activity
        is occurring in high-risk areas such as the seashore and
        ``tornado alley''.
            (2) Hurricanes cause enormous loss of life, injury,
        destruction of property, and economic and social disruption, as
        evidenced by the 56 deaths and $6,000,000,000 in property
        damage in 1999 from Hurricane Floyd. From 1990 to 1999
        hurricanes caused an average of 14 deaths and $4,970,000,000 in
        property losses annually while tornadoes and other windstorms
        caused over 58 deaths and $871,000,000 in property losses
        annually.
            (3) Improved windstorm hazard reduction measures,
        including--
                    (A) cost-effective and affordable design and
                construction methods and practices;
                    (B) informed land use decisions;
                    (C) impact prediction methodologies and early
                warning systems; and
                    (D) public education and involvement programs,
        have the potential over the next 10 years to reduce these
        losses. Losses will increase if steps are not taken to help
        communities reduce their vulnerability.
            (4) Wind engineering research needs to address both
        improving new structures and retrofitting existing ones.
            (5) There is an appropriate role for the Federal Government
        in the collection, preparation, coordination, and dissemination
        of windstorm hazards reduction information in order to protect
        public health and safety and in increasing public awareness of
        the dangers of windstorms and of affordable steps homeowners
        can take to preserve life and property. Improved mechanisms are
        needed to translate existing information and research findings
        into usable, state-of-the-art specifications, criteria, and
        cost-effective practices.
            (6) An effective Federal program in windstorm hazard
        reduction will require interagency coordination, input from
        individuals and institutions outside the Federal Government who
        are expert in the sciences of natural hazards reduction and in
        the practical application of mitigation measures, and improved
        mechanisms for the transfer of new knowledge to State and local
        officials, to homeowners, and to the design and construction
        industry. Tax credits are an appropriate means of helping
        homeowners apply mitigation measures.
            (7) Windstorms are a worldwide problem, and international
        cooperation is desirable for mutual learning and mitigation.

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.


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Women, Peace, and Security Act of
2016''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Around the world, women remain under-represented in
        conflict prevention, conflict resolution, and post-conflict
        peace building efforts.
            (2) Despite the historic under-representation of women in
        conflict resolution processes, women in conflict-affected
        regions have nevertheless achieved significant success in--
                    (A) moderating violent extremism;
                    (B) countering terrorism;
                    (C) resolving disputes through nonviolent mediation
                and negotiation; and
                    (D) stabilizing societies by enhancing the
                effectiveness of security services, peacekeeping
                efforts, institutions, and decision-making processes.
            (3) Research shows that--
                    (A) peace negotiations are more likely to end in a
                peace agreement when women's groups play an influential
                role in the negotiation process;
                    (B) once reached, a peace agreement is 35 percent
                more likely to last at least 15 years if women have
                participated in the negotiation process; and
                    (C) when women meaningfully participate, peace
                negotiations are more likely to address the underlying
                causes of the conflict, leading to more sustainable
                outcomes.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the meaningful participation of women in conflict
        prevention and conflict resolution processes helps to promote
        more inclusive and democratic societies and is critical to the
        long-term stability of countries and regions;
            (2) the political participation and leadership of women in
        fragile environments, particularly during democratic
        transitions, is critical to sustaining lasting democratic
        institutions; and
            (3) the United States should be a global leader in
        promoting the meaningful participation of women in conflict
        prevention, management, and resolution, and post-conflict
        relief and recovery efforts.

SEC. 4. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It shall be the policy of the United States to promote the
meaningful participation of women in all aspects of conflict
prevention, management, and resolution, and post-conflict relief and
recovery efforts, reinforced through diplomatic efforts and programs
that--
            (1) integrate the perspectives and interests of affected
        women into conflict-prevention activities and strategies;
            (2) encourage partner governments to adopt plans to improve
        the meaningful participation of women in peace and security
        processes and decision-making institutions;
            (3) promote the physical safety, economic security, and
        dignity of women and girls;
            (4) support the equal access of women to aid distribution
        mechanisms and services;
            (5) collect and analyze gender data for the purpose of
        developing and enhancing early warning systems of conflict and
        violence;
            (6) adjust policies and programs to improve outcomes in
        gender equality and the empowerment of women; and
            (7) monitor, analyze, and evaluate the efforts related to
        each strategy submitted under section 5 and the impact of such
        efforts.

memorial fund that, as determined by the Chairman of the Commission, is
not required to meet current expenses. Each investment shall be made in

determined by the Chairman of the Commission, has a maturity suitable
for the memorial fund.

    ``(e) Special Borrowing Authority.--(1) To assure that
groundbreaking, construction, and dedication of the World War II
memorial are completed on a timely basis, the Commission may borrow
money from the Treasury of the United States in such amounts as the
Commission considers necessary, but not to exceed a total
of $65,000,000. Borrowed amounts shall bear interest at a rate
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration
the average market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the
United States of comparable maturities during the month preceding the
month in which the obligations of the Commission are issued. The
interest payments on such obligations may be deferred with the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury, but any interest payment so deferred
shall also bear interest.
    ``(2) The borrowing of money by the Commission under paragraph (1)
shall be subject to such maturities, terms, and conditions as may be
agreed upon by the Commission and the Secretary of the Treasury, except
that the maturities may not exceed 20 years and such borrowings may be
redeemable at the option of the Commission before maturity.
    ``(3) The obligations of the Commission shall be issued in amounts
and at prices approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. The authority
of the Commission to issue obligations under this subsection shall
remain available without fiscal year limitation. The Secretary of the
Treasury shall purchase any obligations of the Commission to be issued
under this subsection, and for such purpose the Secretary of the
Treasury may use as a public debt transaction of the United States the
proceeds from the sale of any securities issued under chapter 31 of
title 31. The purposes for which securities may be issued under such
chapter are extended to include any purchase of the Commission's
obligations under this subsection.
    ``(4) Repayment of the interest and principal on any funds borrowed
by the Commission under paragraph (1) shall be made from amounts in the
memorial fund. The Commission may not use for such purpose any funds
appropriated for any other activities of the Commission.
    ``(f) Treatment of Borrowing Authority.--In determining whether the
Commission has sufficient funds to complete construction of the World
War II memorial, as required by section 8 of the Commemorative Works
Act (40 U.S.C. 1008), the Secretary of the Interior shall consider the
funds that the Commission may borrow from the Treasury under subsection
(e) as funds available to complete construction of the memorial,
whether or not the Commission has actually exercised the authority to
borrow such funds.
    ``(g) Voluntary Services.--(1) Notwithstanding section 1342 of
title 31, the Commission may accept from any person voluntary services
to be provided in furtherance of the fund-raising activities of the
Commission relating to the World War II memorial.
    ``(2) A person providing voluntary services under this subsection
shall be considered to be a Federal employee for purposes of chapter 81
of title 5, relating to compensation for work-related injuries, and
chapter 171 of title 28, relating to tort claims. A volunteer who is
not otherwise employed by the Federal Government shall not be
considered to be a Federal employee for any other purpose by reason of
the provision of such voluntary service, except that any volunteers
given responsibility for the handling of funds or the carrying out of a
Federal function are subject to the conflict of interest laws contained
in chapter 11 of title 18, and the administrative standards of conduct
contained in part 2635 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations.
    ``(3) The Commission may provide for reimbursement of incidental
expenses which are incurred by a person providing voluntary services
under this subsection. The Commission shall determine which expenses
are eligible for reimbursement under this paragraph.
    ``(4) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require
Federal employees to work without compensation or to allow the use of
volunteer services to displace or replace Federal employees.
    ``(h) Treatment of Certain Contracts.--A contract entered into by
the Commission for the design or construction of the World War II
memorial is not funding agreement as that term is defined in section
201 of title 35.
    ``(i) Extension of Authority to Establish Memorial.--
Notwithstanding section 10 of the Commemorative Works Act (40 U.S.C.
1010), the legislative authorization for the construction of the World
War II memorial contained in Public Law 103-32 (107 Stat. 90) shall not
expire until December 31, 2005.''.
