            (3) over its history, the VFW has ably represented the 
        interests of veterans in Congress and State Legislatures across 
        the Nation and established a network of trained service 
        officers who, at no charge, have helped millions of veterans 
        and their dependents to secure the education, disability 
        compensation, pension, and health care benefits they are 
        rightfully entitled to receive as a result of the military 
        service performed by those veterans:
            (4) the VFW has also been deeply involved in national

                                facility, or the affected portion of 
                                the facility, until the deficiencies 
                                are corrected and notify the

    ``(B) Each provider of child care services at an individual Federal 
child care center shall maintain 50 percent of the enrollment at the 
center of children described under subparagraph (A) as a goal for 
enrollment at the center.
    ``(C)(i) If enrollment at a center does not meet the percentage 
goal under subparagraph (B), the provider shall develop and implement a 
business plan with the sponsoring Federal agency to achieve the goal 
within a reasonable timeframe.
    ``(ii) The plan shall be approved by the Administrator of General 
Services based on--
            ``(I) compliance of the plan with standards established by

    ``(d)(1) If a Federal agency has a child care facility in a Federal 
space, or is a sponsoring agency for a child care facility in a Federal 
space, the agency, the child care center board of directors, or the 
General Services Administration may enter into an agreement with 1 or 
more private entities under which the private entities would assist in 
defraying the general operating expenses of the child care providers 
including salaries and tuition assistance programs at the facility.
    ``(2)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a Federal 
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 a Federal 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 the 
arrangement than through establishment of a Federal child care 
facility.
    ``(C) The Federal agency may provide any of the services described 
in subsection (b)(3) if, in exchange for the 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 a Federal agency to a Federal child care facility on behalf 
of another Federal agency shall be reimbursed by the receiving agency.

programs.''.
    (e) Pilot Projects.--Section 616 of such Act (40 U.S.C. 490b) is

    ``(f)(1) Upon approval of the agency head, a Federal 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. A Federal 
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 Federal child care facility. 
Costs of any pilot project shall be paid 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 Federal 
agencies to disseminate information concerning the pilot projects to 
the other Federal agencies.
    ``(3) Within 6 months after completion of the initial 2-year pilot 
project period, a Federal 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.''.
    (f) Background Check.--Section 616 of such Act (40 U.S.C. 490b) is 
further amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(g) Each Federal child care center located in a Federal space 
shall ensure that each employee of the 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 231 of the Crime Control Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 13041).''.

            ``(1) The term `Federal agency' has the meaning given the 
        term `Executive agency' in section 702 of the Federal Employees 
        Child Care Act.
            ``(2) The terms `Federal building' and `Federal space' have 
        the meanings given the term `executive facility' in such 
        section 702.
            ``(3) The term `Federal child care center' means a child 
        care center in an executive facility, as defined in such 
        section 702.
            ``(4) The terms `Federal contractor' and `Federal employee' 
        mean a contractor and an employee, respectively, of an 
        Executive agency, as defined in such section 702.''.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Treasury and General Government 
Appropriations Act, 2000''.
