To require a 25-percent reduction in appropriations for the legislative 
                       branch of the Government.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. REDUCTION OF 25 PERCENT IN APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE 
              LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT.

    Notwithstanding any other law, or any rule or other authority, the 
total of appropriations for the legislative branch of the Government 
for fiscal year 1994 may not exceed 75 percent of the total of 
appropriations for the legislative branch of the Government for fiscal 
year 1993.

SEC. 2. PRIORITY TO BE GIVEN TO ELIMINATION OF DUPLICATIVE SERVICES.

    In carrying out section 1, the Congress shall give first 
consideration to reductions in appropriations that may be achieved by 
means of elimination of duplicative services in congressional 
operations, with particular emphasis on consolidation of all legal 
services of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Library 
of Congress.
