    (e) Effective Date.--This section shall become effective on January 
1, 1997.
    (133)Sec. 640. (a) This section may be cited as the ``Prohibition 
of Cigarette Sales to Minors in Federal Buildings and Lands Act''.
    (b) The Congress finds that--
            (1) cigarette smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco 
        products continue to represent major health hazards to the 
        Nation, causing more than 420,000 deaths each year;
            (2) cigarette smoking continues to be the single most 
        preventable cause of death and disability in the United States;
            (3) tobacco products contain hazardous additives, gases, 
        and other chemical constituents dangerous to health;
            (4) the use of tobacco products costs the United States 
        more than $50,000,000,000 in direct health care costs, with 
        more than $21,000,000,000 of these costs being paid by 
        government funds;
            (5) tobacco products contain nicotine, a poisonous, 
        addictive drug;
            (6) all States prohibit the sale of tobacco products to 
        minors, but enforcement has been ineffective or nonexistent and 
        tobacco products remain one of the least regulated consumer 
        products in the United States;
            (7) over the past decade, little or no progress has been 
        made in reducing tobacco use among teenagers and recently, 
        teenage smoking rates appear to be rising;
            (8) more than two-thirds of smokers smoke their first 
        cigarette before the age of 14, and 90 percent of adult smokers 
        did so by age 18;
            (9) 516,000,000 packs of cigarettes are consumed by minors 
        annually, at least half of which are illegally sold to minors;
            (10) reliable studies indicate that tobacco use is a 
        gateway to illicit drug use; and
            (11) the Federal Government has a major policy setting role 
        in ensuring that the use of tobacco products among minors is 
        discouraged to the maximum extent possible.
    (c) As used in this section--
            (1) the term ``Federal agency'' means--

            (B) by the head of a Federal agency for any Federal 
        building which is maintained, leased, or has title of ownership 
        vested in such agency.

States Capitol Grounds, to regulate the use thereof, and for other 
purposes'', approved July 31, 1946 (40 U.S.C. 193m(1)).
    (g) Nothing in this section shall be construed as restricting the 
authority of the Administrator of General Services or the head of an 
agency to limit tobacco product use in or around any Federal building, 
except as provided under subsection (d)(1).
    (134)Sec. 641. It is the sense of the Senate that the General 
Services Administration should increase use of direct delivery for 
high-dollar value supplies and only stock items that are profitable, 
that after these changes are implemented, the General Services 
Administration should phase out the supply depots that are no longer 
economically justifiable or needed.
(135)sec. 642. 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 $7.5 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 
        twelve members, as follows:
                    (A) Four members appointed by the President, two 
                from the executive branch of the Government and two 
                from private life.
                    (B) Two members appointed by the Majority Leader of 
                the Senate, one from Members of the Senate and one from 
                private life.

        affect its powers, 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.

                paragraph (2), and
                    (B) to submit to the Congress a final report of the 
                results of the review, including recommendations for 
                restructuring the IRS.
            (2) Review.--The Commission shall review--
                    (A) the present practices of the IRS, especially

                            (i) its organizational structure;
                            (ii) its paper processing and return 
                        processing activities;
                            (iii) its infrastructure; and
                            (iv) the collection process;
                    (B) requirements for improvement in the following 
                areas:
                            (i) making returns processing

                        funding;
                            (iv) improving taxpayer accounts 
                        management;
                            (v) improving the accuracy of information 
                        requested by taxpayers in order to file their 
                        returns; and
                            (vi) changing the culture of the IRS to 
                        make the organization more efficient, 
                        productive, and customer-oriented;
                    (C) whether the IRS could be replaced with a quasi-
                governmental agency with tangible incentives for 
                internally managing its programs and activities and for 
                modernizing its activities, and
                    (D) whether the IRS could perform other collection, 
                information, and financial service functions of the 
                Federal Government.
    (d) Powers of the Commission.--

        Airport, even in some cases where an employee's new home was 
        farther from the new job site than the employee's former home.

        public funds at Denver International Airport and reform their 
        personnel rules to end this kind of abuse.
