Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) in 1995, the Internal Revenue Service indefinitely 
        postponed the 1994 Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Program, a 
        program of audits using random selection techniques (in this 
        section referred to as ``random audits'');
            (2) Congress, taxpayer groups, tax practitioners, and 
        others criticized the program because of its cost to and burden 
        on taxpayers;
            (3) there is no law preventing the Internal Revenue Service 
        from resuming its Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Program; and
            (4) random audits may be overly burdensome on taxpayers, 
        particularly low-income taxpayers.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the Internal Revenue Service should make it a top

    ``(f) In applying subsection (a) of this section with respect to a

        biweekly pay period, or, if the agency establishes a weekly 
        basis for overtime pay computation, in excess of 53 hours in an 
        administrative workweek; and
            ``(2) the overtime hourly rate of pay is an amount equal to 
        one and one-half times the hourly rate of basic pay under 
        section 5545b (b)(1)(A) or (c)(1)(B), as applicable, and such

        section:
``Sec. 5545b. Pay for firefighters
    ``(a) This section applies to an employee whose position is 
classified in the firefighter occupation in conformance with the GS-081 
standard published by the Office of Personnel Management, and whose 
normal work schedule, as in effect throughout the year, consists of 
regular tours of duty which average at least 106 hours per biweekly pay 
period.

this section generally consists of 24-hour shifts, rather than a basic 
40-hour workweek (as determined under regulations prescribed by the 
Office of Personnel Management), section 5504(b) shall be applied as 
follows in computing pay--
            ``(A) paragraph (1) of such section shall be deemed to 
        require that the annual rate be divided by 2756 to derive the 
        hourly rate; and
            ``(B) the computation of such firefighter's daily, weekly, 
        or biweekly rate shall be based on the hourly rate under 
        subparagraph (A);
    ``(2) For the purpose of sections 5595(c), 5941, 8331(3), and 
8704(c), and for such other purposes as may be expressly provided for

prescribe, the basic pay of a firefighter subject to this subsection 
shall include an amount equal to the firefighter's basic hourly rate 
(as computed under paragraph (1)(A)) for all hours in such 
firefighter's regular tour of duty (including overtime hours).
    ``(c)(1) If the regular tour of duty of a firefighter subject to 
this section includes a basic 40-hour workweek (as determined under 
regulations prescribed by the Office of Personnel Management), section 
5504(b) shall be applied as follows in computing pay--
            ``(A) the provisions of such section shall apply to the 
        hours within the basic 40-hour workweek;
            ``(B) for hours outside the basic 40-hour workweek, such 
        section shall be deemed to require that the hourly rate be 
        derived by dividing the annual rate by 2756; and
            ``(C) the computation of such firefighter's daily, weekly, 
        or biweekly rate shall be based on subparagraphs (A) and (B), 
        as each applies to the hours involved.
    ``(2) For purposes of sections 5595(c), 5941, 8331(3), and 8704(c),

        regular tour of duty (including overtime hours).
    ``(d)(1) A firefighter who is subject to this section shall receive 
overtime pay in accordance with section 5542, but shall not receive 
premium pay provided by other provisions of this subchapter.
    ``(2) For the purpose of applying section 7(k) of the Fair Labor 
Standards Act of 1938 to a firefighter who is subject to this section, 
no violation referred to in such section 7(k) shall be deemed to have 
occurred if the requirements of section 5542(a) are met, applying 
section 5542(a) as provided in subsection (f) of that section. The 
overtime hourly rate of pay for such firefighter shall in all cases be 
an amount equal to one and one-half times the firefighter's hourly rate 
of basic pay under subsection (b)(1)(A) or (c)(1)(B) of this section, 
as applicable.
    ``(3) The Office of Personnel Management may prescribe regulations, 
with respect to firefighters subject to this section, that would permit 
an agency to reduce or eliminate the variation in the amount of 
firefighters' biweekly pay caused by work scheduling cycles that result 
in varying hours in the regular tours of duty from pay period to pay 
period. Under such regulations, the pay that a firefighter would 
otherwise receive for regular tours of duty over the work scheduling 
cycle shall, to the extent practicable, remain unaffected.''.

40-hour workweek, shall, upon implementation of this section, be 
granted an increase in basic pay equal to 2 step-increases of the 
applicable General Schedule grade, and such increase shall not be an 
equivalent increase in pay. If such increase results in a change to a 
longer waiting period for the firefighter's next step increase, the 
firefighter shall be credited with an additional year of service for 
the purpose of such waiting period. If such increase results in a rate 
of basic pay which is above the maximum rate of the applicable grade, 
such resulting pay rate shall be treated as a retained rate of basic 
pay in accordance with section 5363 of title 5, United States Code.
    (g) No Reduction in Regular Pay.--Under regulations prescribed by 
the Office of Personnel Management, the regular pay (over the 
established work scheduling cycle) of a firefighter subject to section

Congress finds that--

        United States producers of those grains;
            (2) importation of grains into the United States at less

        Government discloses all information necessary to determine the 
        cost and price for all such grains being exported to the United 
        States from Canada and whether such cost or price violates any 
        law of the United States, or violates, is inconsistent with, or 
        denies benefits to the United States under, any trade 
        agreement.
            (3) The Customs Service shall report to the Committees on

        Ireland;
            (2) of these 44,000,000, many are descended from the nearly 
        2,000,000 Irish immigrants who were forced to flee Ireland

        Irish Potato Famine;
            (5) commemorating this tragic but defining episode in the 
        history of American immigration would be deserving of honor by 
        the United States Government.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
States Postal Service should issue a stamp honoring the one hundred 
fiftieth anniversary of Irish immigration to the United States during 
the Irish Famine of 1845-1850.

agency does not have a child care program, or if the Administrator of 
General Services has identified a need for child care for Federal 
employees at an agency providing child care services that do not meet 
the requirements of subsection (a), the agency or the Administrator may 
enter into an agreement with a non-Federal, licensed, and accredited 
child care facility, or a planned child care facility that will become 
licensed and accredited, for the provision of child care services for 
children of Federal employees.
    ``(B) Before entering into an agreement, the head of the Federal 
agency shall determine that child care services to be provided through 
the agreement are more cost effectively provided through such 
arrangement than through establishment of a Federal child care 
facility.
    ``(C) The agency may provide any of the services described in 
subsection (b)(3) if, in exchange for such services, the facility 
reserves child care spaces for children referred to in subsection 
(a)(2), as agreed to by the parties. The cost of any such services 
provided by an agency to a child care facility on behalf of another 
agency shall be reimbursed by the receiving agency.
    ``(3) This subsection does not apply to residential child care 
programs.''.
    (d) Pilot Projects.--Section 616 of such Act (40 U.S.C. 490b) is 
further amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(f)(1) Upon approval of the agency head, an agency may conduct a 
pilot project not otherwise authorized by law for no more than 2 years 
to test innovative approaches to providing alternative forms of quality 
child care assistance for Federal employees. An agency head may extend 
a pilot project for an additional 2-year period. Before any pilot 
project may be implemented, a determination shall be made by the agency 
head that initiating the pilot project would be more cost-effective 
than establishing a new child care facility. Costs of any pilot project 
shall be borne solely by the agency conducting the pilot project.
    ``(2) The Administrator of General Services shall serve as an 
information clearinghouse for pilot projects initiated by other 
agencies to disseminate information concerning the pilot projects to 
the other agencies.
    ``(3) Within 6 months after completion of the initial 2-year pilot 
project period, an agency conducting a pilot project under this 
subsection shall provide for an evaluation of the impact of the project 
on the delivery of child care services to Federal employees, and shall 
submit the results of the evaluation to the Administrator of General 
Services. The Administrator shall share the results with other Federal 
agencies.''.
    (e) Background Check.--Section 616 of such Act (40 U.S.C. 490b) is 
further amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(g) Each child care center located in a federally owned or leased 
facility shall ensure that each employee of such center (including any 
employee whose employment began before the date of enactment of this 
subsection) shall undergo a criminal history background check 
consistent with section 3 of the National Child Protection Act of 1993 
(42 U.S.C. 5119a).''.
    Sec. 705. Requirement to Provide Lactation Support in New Federal 
Child Care Facilities. (a) Definitions.--In this section, the terms 
``Federal agency'', ``executive facility'', and ``legislative 
facility'' have the meanings given the terms in section 702.
    (b) Lactation Support.--The head of each Federal agency shall 
require that each child care facility in an executive facility or a 
legislative facility that is first operated after the 1-year period 
beginning on the date of enactment of this Act by the Federal agency, 
or under a contract or licensing agreement with the Federal agency, 
shall provide reasonable accommodations for the needs of breast-fed 
infants and their mothers, including providing a lactation area or a 
room for nursing mothers in part of the operating plan for the 
facility.

                    (A) applies for such adjustment before April 1, 
                2000; and
                    (B) is otherwise admissible to the United States 
                for permanent residence, except that, in determining 
                such admissibility, the grounds for inadmissibility

                (9)(B) of section 212(a) of the Immigration and 
                Nationality Act shall not apply.
            (2) Relationship of application to certain orders.--An

        excluded, deported, removed, or ordered to depart voluntarily 
        from the United States under any provision of the Immigration 
        and Nationality Act may, notwithstanding such order, apply for 
        adjustment of status under paragraph (1). Such an alien may not 
        be required, as a condition on submitting or granting such 
        application, to file a separate motion to reopen, reconsider, 
        or vacate such order. If the Attorney General grants the 
        application, the Attorney General shall cancel the order. If 
        the Attorney General makes a final decision to deny the 
        application, the order shall be effective and enforceable to 
        the same extent as if the application had not been made.
    (b) Aliens Eligible for Adjustment of Status.--The benefits 
provided by subsection (a) shall apply to any alien who is a national

                emergent reasons or reasons deemed strictly in the 
                public interest, or

        continuous period beginning not later than December 31, 1995, 
        and ending not earlier than the date the application for such 
        adjustment is filed, except that an alien shall not be 
        considered to have failed to maintain continuous physical 
        presence by reason of an absence, or absences, from the United

        Attorney General has made a final determination to deny the 
        application.
            (3) Work authorization.--The Attorney General may authorize 
        an alien who has applied for adjustment of status under

        during the pendency of such application and may provide the 
        alien with an ``employment authorized'' endorsement or other 
        appropriate document signifying authorization of employment, 
        except that if such application is pending for a period 
        exceeding 180 days, and has not been denied, the Attorney 
        General shall authorize such employment.

                1995, and ending not earlier than the date the 
                application for such adjustment is filed;
                    (C) the alien applies for such adjustment and is 
                physically present in the United States on the date the 
                application is filed; and
                    (D) the alien is otherwise admissible to the United 
                States for permanent residence, except that, in 
                determining such admissibility, the grounds for
