Summary
The Congressional Research Service’s plain-language summary of what the law does.
Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee and Emergency Oil and Gas Guaranteed Loan Act of 1999 - Chapter 1 - Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee Act of 1999 - Establishes the Emergency Steel Guarantee Loan Program, to be administered by a Loan Guarantee Board, to provide loan guarantees to qualified steel companies. Sets limits on loan duration and on the aggregate amounts of loans and guarantees outstanding at any one time under the program or with respect to a single qualified company. Treats an iron ore company as a qualified company for purposes of such program (setting similar loan limits as above).
Rescinds a specified amount of funds made available to Federal agencies, requiring such funds to be taken only from administrative and travel accounts. Requires a report from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to the Senate and House appropriations committees on an accounting of the rescinded funds.
Chapter 2 - Emergency Oil and Gas Guaranteed Loan Program Act - Establishes the Emergency Oil and Gas Guaranteed Loan Program, to be administered by a Loan Guarantee Board, to guarantee loans provided to qualified oil and gas companies (including Alaska companies and Alaska Native corporations) by private banking and investment institutions. Sets forth requirements relating to such loan guarantees, including on total and individual guarantees, a minimum guarantee amount, Board determinations with respect to certain preconditions, terms and fees, and reports.
Rescinds a specified amount of funds made available to Federal agencies, requiring such funds to be taken only from administrative and travel accounts. Requires a report from the OMB Director to the appropriations committees on an accounting of the rescinded funds.

Data notes
The House’s recorded vote on the final version of the law (roll call 373 in Voteview), matched to the vote the record cites and checked against its totals. Positions are each member’s DW-NOMINATE score for that Congress, as on the Ideology page; left to right is more liberal to more conservative. Paired and announced yea votes count as yea. Lists follow the compass, most liberal first. A name links to a profile only for members of the current Congress. A law passed by voice vote or unanimous consent has no member list, and neither does a vote Voteview has not yet recorded.
Committees
The committees the bill was sent to, and what each did with it.
Data notes
A committee links to its page only where it exists in the current Congress; older and renamed committees are named without a link.
