compromise the national security, including sections 641, 793, 794, 
798, and 952 of title 18, United States Code, and section 4(b) of the 
Subversive Activities Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. section 783(b)). The

document is to be used. Such form or agreement shall, at a minimum, 
require that the person will not disclose any classified information 
received in the course of such activity unless specifically authorized 
to do so by the United States Government. Such nondisclosure forms must 
also make it clear that they do not bar disclosures to Congress or to 
an authorized official of an executive agency or the Department of 
Justice that are essential to reporting a substantial violation of law.

        unique and cannot be satisfied by property and service procured 
        by the Administrator of General Services as part of the 
        procurement known as ``FTS2000''; and
            (B) the agency procurement, pursuant to such delegation, 
        would be cost-effective and would not adversely affect the 
        cost-effectiveness of the FTS2000 procurement.
    (b) After July 31, 1996, subsection (a) shall apply only if the 
Administrator of General Services has reported that the FTS2000 
procurement is producing prices that allow the Government to satisfy 
its requirements for such procurement in the most cost-effective 
manner.
    (c) The Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct and 
deliver a comprehensive analysis of the cost to the Federal Government 
of all Federal agency telecommunications services and traffic, by 
agency, and provide such report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations by no later than May 31, 1996: Provided, That such 
report shall (1) identify which agencies are using FTS2000 systems; (2) 
determine whether or not such usage is cost-effective; and (3) provide 
a comparison of telecommunication costs between agencies that use or do 
not use FTS2000.

        (2) other than as provided by an Act of Congress, if that loan 
    or extension of credit would result in expenditures and 
    obligations, including contingent obligations, aggregating more 
    than $1,000,000,000 with respect to that foreign country for more 
    than 180 days during the 12-month period beginning on the date on 
    which the first such action is taken.
    (b) Waiver of Limitations.--The President may exceed the dollar and

to vital United States economic interests or to the stability of the 
international financial system.
    (c) Expedited Procedures for a Resolution of Disapproval.--A 
presidential certification pursuant to subsection (b) shall not take

    Sec. 637. National Commission on Restructuring the Internal Revenue 
Service.--
    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
        (1) While the budget for the Internal Revenue Service 
    (hereafter referred to as the ``IRS'') has risen from $2.5 billion 
    in fiscal year 1979 to $7.3 billion in fiscal year 1996, tax 
    returns processing has not become significantly faster, tax 
    collection rates have not significantly increased, and the accuracy 
    and timeliness of taxpayer assistance has not significantly 
    improved.
        (2) To date, the Tax Systems Modernization (TSM) program has 
    cost the taxpayers $2.5 billion, with an estimated cost of $8 
    billion. Despite this investment, modernization efforts were 
    recently described by the GAO as ``chaotic'' and ``ad hoc''.
        (3) While the IRS maintains that TSM will increase efficiency 
    and thus revenues, Congress has had to appropriate additional funds 
    in recent years for compliance initiatives in order to increase tax 
    revenues.
        (4) Because TSM has not been implemented, the IRS continues to 
    rely on paper returns, processing a total of 14 billion pieces of 
    paper every tax season. This results in an extremely inefficient 
    system.
        (5) This lack of efficiency reduces the level of customer 
    service and impedes the ability of the IRS to collect revenue.
        (6) The present status of the IRS shows the need for the 
    establishment of a Commission which will examine the organization 
    of IRS and recommend actions to expedite the implementation of TSM 
    and improve service to taxpayers.
    (b) Composition of the Commission.--
        (1) Establishment.--To carry out the purposes of this section, 
    there is established a National Commission on Restructuring the 
    Internal Revenue Service (in this section referred to as the 
    ``Commission'').
        (2) Composition.--The Commission shall be composed of thirteen 
    members, as follows:
            (A) Five members appointed by the President, two from the 
        executive branch of the Government, two from private life, and 
        one from an organization that represents a substantial number 
        of Internal Revenue Service employees.
            (B) Two members appointed by the Majority Leader of the 
        Senate, one from Members of the Senate and one from private 
        life.
            (C) Two members appointed by the Minority Leader of the 
        Senate, one from Members of the Senate and one from private 
        life.
            (D) Two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of 
        Representatives, one from Members of the House of 
        Representatives and one from private life.
            (E) Two members appointed by the Minority Leader of the 
        House of Representatives, one from Members of the House of 
        Representatives and one from private life.

    but shall be filled in the same manner in which the original 
    appointment was made.
        (5) Appointment; initial meeting.--
            (A) Appointment.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
        members of the Committee should be appointed not more than 60 
        days after the date of the enactment of this section.
            (B) Initial meeting.--If, after 60 days from the date of 
        the enactment of this section, seven or more members of the 
        Commission have been appointed, members who have been appointed 
        may meet and select a Chairman who thereafter shall have the 
        authority to begin the operations of the Commission, including 
        the hiring of staff.
    (c) Functions of Commission.--
