Consideration of the North American Free Trade Agreement.--The

Government funds were used for books (including Assessments of the 
North American Free Trade Agreement published in 1993), publications, 
or other activities which had the affect of advocating congressional

on the use of Federal funds for lobbying activities.
    (b) Report to Congress.--Not later than six months after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States 
shall prepare and submit a report of the findings of such study to the 
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and Committee on
