SEC. 312. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING APPROPRIATIONS FOR LIHEAP.
(a) Findings.--(1) Seventy-seven percent of the over 25 million
households that were eligible for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (hereinafter referred to as ``LIHEAP'') in fiscal year 1992 did
not receive assistance due to a lack of funds.
(2) Recent economic distress has caused significant unemployment,
which has resulted in a greater need for energy assistance than ever
before.
(3) More than 66 percent of LIHEAP household recipients have an
annual income that is below the poverty level.
(4) Forty-three percent of all LIHEAP eligible households include
children.
(5) LIHEAP eligible households with children spend approximately 16
percent of their annual incomes on home energy costs, which is more
than 4 times greater than that paid by the average household in the
United States, and far beyond their means.
(6) Approximately 40 percent of LIHEAP household recipients are
comprised of elderly or disabled persons.
(7) LIHEAP is an essential, long-term Federal program that is
crucial to the well-being of impoverished American families and their
children.
(8) Congress appropriated $1,475,000,000 for LIHEAP for fiscal year
1995.
(9) The Department of Energy predicts that the costs of residential
fuels will increase at a pace greater than inflation.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the maintenance of LIHEAP should be a high priority in
order to enable the working poor, the disabled, and the low-
income elderly, who all depend on LIHEAP, to meet their energy
costs and needs;
(2) all appropriations made for LIHEAP for fiscal year 1995
should be expended; and
(3) expenditures for LIHEAP for fiscal year 1996 should
ensure the provision of services at or above the level provided
in fiscal year 1995.
SEC. 313. EFFECTIVE DATE.
The amendments and repeals made by this title shall become
