    Sec. 506. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used 
to revise the Missouri River Master Water Control Manual when it is

limitation.
    ``Fish and wildlife costs'' includes--
            (1) purchase power costs and lost revenues, as determined 
        by the Bonneville Administrator (subject to independent audit), 
        based on the forecast value of such costs or revenues under 
        average flow conditions, related to operations of the Federal 
        Columbia River Power System for the benefit of fish and

SEC. 511. REPEAL OF REPORT ON VERIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR PRODUCTION OF 
              PLUTONIUM AND HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM.

    Section 3131 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510; 104 Stat. 1839) is amended by striking 
out subsection (c).
    (57)sec. 512. sense of the senate on the conference on s. 4, the 
line item veto act.
    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) the line item veto was a major plank in the House 
        majority's ``Contract with America'' and has received strong 
        bipartisan support in the 104th Congress;
            (2) the House of Representatives on February 6, 1995, 
        passed H.R. 2, the Line Item Veto Act, on a vote of 294-134;
            (3) the Senate on March 23, 1995, passed S. 4, the Separate 
        Enrollment and Line Item Veto Act of 1995, on a vote of 69-29;
            (4) the House passed S. 4, with the text of H.R. 2 
        inserted, by voice vote on May 17, 1995, 50 days after passage 
        by the Senate;
            (5) notwithstanding the failure of the House to request a 
        conference, the Senate disagreed with the House amendments, 
        requested a conference and appointed conferees on S. 4 on June 
        20, 1995;
            (6) the papers for S. 4 have been held at the desk of the 
        Speaker of the House for 42 days and the Speaker of the House 
        has not yet moved to appoint conferees;
            (7) with the passage of time it increasingly appears that 
        the Congress may pass and send to the President not only the 
        appropriations bills for fiscal year 1996 but also the 
        reconciliation bill required by H.Con.Res. 67 (the concurrent 
        resolution setting forth the congressional budget for fiscal 
        years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002) without 
        first passing and sending to the President a line item veto 
        bill; and
            (8) the House majority leadership has publicly cast doubt 
        on the prospects for a conference on S. 4 this year.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the Speaker of the House should move to appoint 
        conferees on S. 4 immediately, so that the House and Senate may 
        resolve their differences on this important legislation.
    (58)sec. 513. energy savings at federal facilities.
    (a) Reduction in Facilities Energy Costs.--The head of each agency 
for which funds are made available under this Act shall take all 
actions necessary to achieve during fiscal year 1996 a 5 percent 
reduction, from fiscal year 1995 levels, in the energy costs of the 
facilities used by the agency.
    (b) Use of Cost Savings.--An amount equal to the amount of cost 
savings realized by an agency under subsection (a) shall remain 
available for obligation through the end of fiscal year 1997, without 
further authorization or appropriation, as follows:
            (1) Conservation measures.--Fifty percent of the amount 
        shall remain available for the implementation of additional 
        energy conservation measures and for water conservation 
        measures at such facilities used by the agency as are 
        designated by the head of the agency.
            (2) Other purposes.--Fifty percent of the amount shall 
        remain available for use by the agency for such purposes as are 
        designated by the head of the agency, consistent with 
        applicable law.
    (c) Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than December 31, 1996, the head 
        of each agency described in subsection (a) shall submit a 
        report to Congress specifying the results of the actions taken 
        under subsection (a) and providing any recommendations as to 
        how to further reduce energy costs and energy consumption in 
        the future.
            (2) Contents.--Each report shall--
                    (A) specify the total energy costs of the 
                facilities used by the agency;
                    (B) identify the reductions achieved; and
                    (C) specify the actions that resulted in the 
                reductions.
    (59)sec. 514. water levels in rainy lake and namakan lake.
    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the Rainy Lake and Namakan Reservoir Water Level 
        International Steering Committee conducted a 2-year analysis in 
        which public comments on the water levels in Rainy Lake and 
        Namakan Lake revealed significant problems with the current 
        regulation of water levels and resulted in Steering Committee 
        recommendations in November 1993; and
            (2) maintaining water levels closer to those recommended by 
        the Steering Committee will help ensure the enhancement of 
        water quality, fish and wildlife, and recreational resources in 
        Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Existing rule curve.--The term ``existing rule curve'' 
        means each of the rule curves promulgated by the International 
        Joint Commission to regulate water levels in Rainy Lake and 
        Namakan Lake in effect as of the date of enactment of this Act.
            (2) Proposed rule curve.--The term ``proposed rule curve'' 
        means each of the rule curves recommended by the Rainy Lake and 
        Namakan Reservoir International Steering Committee for 
        regulation of water levels in Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake in 
        the publication entitled ``Final Report and Recommendations'' 
        published in November 1993.
    (c) Water Levels.--The dams at International Falls and Kettle 
Falls, Minnesota, in Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake, respectively, shall 
be operated so as to maintain water levels as follows:
            (1) Coincident rule curves.--In each instance in which an 
        existing rule curve coincides with a proposed rule curve, the 
        water level shall be maintained within the range of such 
        coincidence.
            (2) Noncoincident rule curves.--In each instance in which 
        an existing rule curve does not coincide with a proposed rule 
        curve, the water level shall be maintained at the limit of the 
        existing rule curve that is closest to the proposed rule curve.
    (d) Enforcement.--
            (1) In general.--The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
        shall enforce this section as though the provisions were 
        included in the license issued by the Commission on December 
        31, 1987, for Commission Project No. 5223-001.
            (2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
        construed to require the Commission to alter the license for 
        Commission Project No. 5223-001 in any way.
    (e) Sunset.--This section shall remain in effect until the 
International Joint Commission review of and decision on the Steering 
Committee's recommendations are completed.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations Act, 1996''.

            Passed the House of Representatives July 12, 1995.
