        Departmental Administration is comprised of activities that provide
    staff support to top policy officials and overall direction and
    coordination of the Department. These activities include Department-wide
    programs for human resource management, management improvement,
    occupational safety and health management, real and personal property
    management, procurement, contracting, motor vehicle and aircraft
    management, supply management, ADP and telecommunications management,
    civil rights and equal opportunity, emergency preparedness, and the
    regulatory hearing and administrative proceedings conducted by the
    Administrative Law Judges, Judicial Officer, and Board of Contract
    Appeals.

        Departmental Administration is also responsible for representing
    USDA in the development of government-wide policies and initiatives;
    analyzing the impact of government-wide trends and developing
    appropriate USDA principles, policies, and standards. In addition,
    Departmental Administration engages in strategic planning and evaluating
    programs to ensure USDA-wide compliance with applicable laws, rules, and
    regulations pertaining to administrative matters for the Secretary and
    general officers of the Department.

    [[Page 134]]

        In FY 1996, Departmental Administration reorganized its policy
    development and administrative operational activities. The
    reorganization significantly altered the alignment of functions and
    activities within Departmental Administration. The previous organization
    structure divided the departmental administration function into specific
    program offices, such as personnel, operations, and civil rights
    enforcement. The new organization structure divides the function into
    policy, program operations, and support for other offices, and is
    intended to be more focused and responsive to customer needs.

        Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
    Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the
    Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, the Department has the responsibility
    to meet the same standards for storage and disposition of hazardous
    wastes as private businesses. Since the Department has substantial
    commitments under these Acts, a central fund has been established so
    that resources may be allocated to the Department's agencies.
    Allocations are made according to objective criteria.

        Agricultural estimates.--The Service provides the official National
    and State estimates of acreage, yield, and production of crops, stocks,
    and value of farm commodities, and numbers of inventory values of
    livestock items. Data on approximately 120 crops and 45 livestock
    products are covered in nearly 400 reports issued each year. Detailed
    data are also collected on agricultural chemical use, labor, and
    expenditures. Data collected and published on prices paid and received
    by farmers are basic to computation of farm program payments.

        The work under this activity is conducted through 45 State offices
    serving the 50 States; most of these offices are operated as joint State
    and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies
    provide additional State and county data. The 1997 program includes
    increases of $1,000,000 for additional pesticide data, $1,500,000 for
    integrated pest management, and $600,000 for post-harvest pesticide
    data.

        Statistical research and service.--This activity is designed to
    improve agricultural estimating techniques by improving sample survey
    designs and procedures and by testing new forecasting and estimating
    techniques, such as the use of satellite data.

        Census of Agriculture.--In 1997, the census of agriculture, formerly
    conducted by the Department of Commerce, is proposed for transfer to the
    Department of Agriculture.

        Miscellaneous funds received from local organizations, commodity
    groups, and others are available for dissemination of reports and for
    crop and livestock survey work under cooperative agreements (7 U.S.C.
    450b, 450h, 3318b).

        The Agricultural Research Service conducts research to provide the
    means for a safer, more economical supply of agricultural products for
    the Nation and to provide producers with technologies to competitively
    supply these products. Technology needs of regulatory, technical
    assistance and education agencies of USDA and other Federal agencies are
    supported through ARS research. The Service uses coordinated,
    interdisciplinary approaches to perform basic and applied research on
    soil and water conservation, plant and animal sciences, commodity
    conversion and delivery, human nutrition, and integrated agricultural
    systems. In 1997, the Service proposes increased emphases for critical
    research needs in agriculture, such as: food safety, integrated pest
    management, agricultural biodiversity, biocontrol of pests and soil
    biology, integrated farming systems, finding alternatives to methyl
    bromide, restoration of the South Florida Everglades ecosystem, biomass
    research, and increased support for the joint U.S.-Israel agricultural
    research and development activities.

        Research on soil and water conservation.--Research is conducted to
    improve soil and water management, irrigation, and conservation
    practices; to protect natural resources from harmful effects of soil,
    air, and water pollutants and to minimize certain agricultural pollution
    problems; and to determine the relation of soil types and water to
    plant, animal, and human nutrition.

        Research on plant science.--Research is conducted to increase plant
    productivity by improving plant varieties, developing new crop
    resources, and improving crop production practices, including methods to
    control plant diseases, nematodes, insects, and weeds.

        Research on animal science.--Research is conducted to increase
    livestock productivity (including poultry) through improved breeding,
    feeding, and management practices, and to develop methods for
    controlling diseases, parasites, and insect pests affecting these
    animals.

    [[Page 141]]

        Research on commodity conversion and delivery.--Research is
    conducted to develop new and improved foods, feeds, products, and
    processes for agricultural commodities and to improve the processing,
    transportation, storage, wholesaling, and retailing of products.
    Research is also conducted on means to ensure the safety of food and
    feed supplies, control insect pests of man and his belongings, and
    reduce the hazards to human life resulting from pesticide residues and
    other causes.

        Human nutrition research.--Research is conducted on subjects such as
    human nutritional requirements and the composition and nutritive value
    of foods, to promote optimum human health through improved nutrition.

        Integration of agricultural systems.--Research is conducted to
    develop integrated systems for efficiently producing, processing, and
    marketing agricultural products, and to develop alternative agricultural
    systems that are less dependent upon nonrenewable resources and that are
    productive, efficient, and sustainable in the long term.

        Agricultural information and library services.--The National
    Agricultural Library provides a variety of information products and
    services through: (1) the administration of a unique collection of
    books, journals, and other information materials about food and
    agriculture to ensure accessibility to their contents; (2) the
    development and maintenance of cooperative efforts in the library and
    related information areas, with other Federal agencies and with
    educational institutions in each State; and (3) an active program of
    information dissemination.

        Repair and maintenance of facilities.--Funds are used to restore,
    upgrade, and maintain Federal facilities to meet OSHA and EPA
    requirements, provide suitable workspace for in-house research programs,
    and to retrofit existing structures for better energy utilization.

        Contingencies.--Funds available to meet urgent needs that develop
    unexpectedly during the year when such needs cannot be met by
    redirection of resources from other projects.

        Reimbursements.--Agricultural Research Service performs program
    research activities and services for other USDA, Federal, and non-
    Federal agencies. These activities and services are paid for on a
    reimbursable basis.

        Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service
    participates in a nationwide system of agricultural research and
    education program planning and coordination between State institutions
    and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It assists in maintaining
    cooperation among the State institutions, and between the State
    institutions and their Federal research partners. The Agency administers
    grants and payments to State institutions to supplement State and local
    funding for agricultural research and higher education.

        Payments under the Hatch Act.--Funds under the Hatch Act are
    allocated on a formula basis to agricultural experiment stations of the
    land-grant colleges in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
    Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Micronesia, and Northern
    Mariana Islands.

        Cooperative forestry research.--These funds are allocated by formula
    to land-grant colleges or agricultural experiment stations in the 50
    States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other State-supported
    colleges and universities having a forestry school and offering graduate
    training in forestry sciences.

        Payments to 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University.--Funds allocated
    on a formula basis support agricultural research and broaden the
    curricula at the seventeen 1890 land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee
    University.

        Special research grants.--This program addresses research areas of
    national interest. Increased funding is proposed for grant programs in
    integrated pest management/biological control and pesticide clearance.
    Funding is also proposed for emerging pest and disease issues, pesticide
    impact assessment and sustainable agriculture. Advances in these areas
    will provide producers with safe, alternative pest control methods
    resulting in more farmers increasing the number of acres on which
    Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods are used. The program goal is
    the implementation of IPM methods on 75 percent of crop acreage by the
    year 2000. Funding proposed for pesticide clearance and minor use animal
    drugs will address the growing need for registration of safe pesticides
    and drugs for minor crops and animals and lead to reduced levels of
    chemical and drug residues in food products by half. A grant program for
    global change is proposed for research at universities as part of a
    coordinated Federal initiative. Funding is also proposed for water
    quality, the National Biological Impact Assessment Program, rural
    development centers, aquaculture centers, rangeland research, energy
    biomass/biofuels research, and supplemental and alternative crops.

        National research initiative competitive grants.--Funding is being
    proposed for the National Initiative for Research on Agriculture, Food,
    and the Environment (NRI). Research scientists throughout the U.S.
    scientific community compete for funding under this program. The
    performance goal has been to attract the widest possible involvement of
    U.S. scientists in agricultural research to increase the knowledge base
    related to U.S. agriculture, food, and the environment and maintain
    world leadership in agricultural science and engineering. NRI funding
    has resulted in increased participation by universities which are not
    traditionally considered agricultural schools and of highly skilled
    researchers in projects addressing agricultural issues. These grants
    support research in plants and animals; natural resources and the
    environment; nutrition, food safety, and health; markets, trade, and
    rural development; and processing for adding value or developing new
    products. This initiative includes funding for a plant genome mapping
    program for which the Agricultural Research Service serves as the lead
    agency. Global change research being carried out through the NRI is part
    of a government-wide program developed by the Committee on Earth and
    Environmental Sciences. In 1995, NRI funding supported 783 grants and it
    is estimated approximately the same number will be funded in 1996. The
    1997 request would support approximately 1,054 grants.

        Animal health and disease research.--Funds, distributed by formula,
    support livestock and poultry disease research in sixty-seven colleges
    of veterinary medicine and in eligible agricultural experiment stations.

        Federal administration.--A coordinating and review staff assists in
    maintaining cooperation within and among the States, and between the
    States and their Federal research partners. This staff also administers
    research and education grants and payments to States. Federal
    administration is

    [[Page 144]]
    funded from a combination of program set-asides from formula and grant
    programs and from direct appropriation for administration. Funding is
    proposed for a capacity building program at the 1890 institutions as
    part of a USDA initiative to strengthen these institutions through a
    broadening of curricula, increased faculty development and student
    research projects. Proposed funding would support approximately 49
    teaching and research grants.

        Higher education.--Funding is proposed for graduate fellowships
    grants, competitive challenge grants, Hispanic education partnership
    grants, a multicultural scholars program and a Native American
    institutions program. Proposed funding for all higher education programs
    would support approximately 94 grants. These programs will enable
    universities to broaden their curricula; increase faculty development;
    student research projects; and the number of new scholars recruited in
    the food and agricultural sciences. In addition, an increased number of
    graduate students, including minority graduate students, will be
    enrolled in the agricultural sciences.

        Reimbursable program.--Funds support basic and applied agriculture
    research and activities performed for other USDA, Federal, and non-
    Federal agencies.

        Native American Institutions Endowment Fund.--This program provides
    for an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions (29 Tribally
    controlled colleges) to strengthen the infrastructure of these
    institutions and develop Indian expertise for the food and agricultural
    sciences and businesses and their own communities. At the termination of
    each fiscal year, the Secretary shall withdraw the income from the
    endowment fund for the fiscal year, and after making adjustments for the
    cost of administering the fund, distribute the adjusted income on a
    formula basis to the 1994 land-grant institutions.

        The Cooperative Extension System, a national educational network, is
    a dynamic organization pledged to meeting the country's needs for
    research-based educational programs that will enable people to make
    practical decisions to improve their lives. To accomplish its mission,
    the Cooperative Extension System adjusts programs to meet the shifting
    needs and priorities of the people it serves.

        The nonformal educational network combines the expertise and
    resources of federal, state, and local partners. The partners in this
    unique System are: (a) The Cooperative State Research, Education, and
    Extension Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; (b) Extension
    professionals at land-grant universities throughout the United States
    and its territories; and (c) Extension professionals in nearly all of
    the Nation's 3,150 counties. Thousands of paraprofessionals and nearly 3
    million volunteers support this partnership and magnify its impact.
    Strong linkages with both public and private external groups are also
    crucial to the Cooperative Extension System's strength and vitality.

        Base programs, funded by the Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) legislated
    formula funds, are the major educational efforts central to the mission
    of the System and common to most Extension units. They are the ongoing
    priority efforts of the System, involving many discipline-based and
    multi-disciplinary programs. The System's base programs are the
    foundation of the Extension organization and partnership that are
    intended to increase the number of community-based projects, families,
    and individuals reached to disseminate research findings as widely and
    quickly as possible. The use of electronic mail, satellite transmission
    of courses, and computer-assisted instruction are encouraged to
    communicate ideas.

        Extension resources are provided to the States by these formula
    funds and competitively-awarded programs such as sustainable agriculture
    and agricultural telecommunications. Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) funds and
    payments to the 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University provide funds to
    support the Extension infrastructure.

    [[Page 146]]

        Funds for designated programs, funded by Smith-Lever 3(d) legislated
    formula funds, such as youth at risk, expanded food and nutrition
    education program (EFNEP), food safety, farm safety provide support for
    the Cooperative Extension System to address identified priority issues.

        National initiatives funded by legislative formulas,
    administratively determined distribution, Congressional and Executive
    intent, and competitively-awarded projects, are the System's commitment
    to respond to important problems of broad national concern with
    additional resources and significantly increased effort to achieve a
    major impact on national priorities. They are the most current
    significant and complex issues on which the Extension System has the
    potential to make a difference--usually in cooperation with other
    agencies, groups, and units of government. The goal is to inform and
    educate these extension agriculture professionals and volunteers who, in
    turn, educate the professional farmers and end-users regarding these
    critical initiatives and concerns.

        Initiatives proposed in 1997 include funding for: sustainable
    agriculture education programs; increased efforts on pest management;
    and support to the 1890 Institutions and Tuskegee University.

                                        ====================================

        The major objectives of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
    Service (APHIS) are to protect the animal and plant resources of the
    Nation from destructive pests and diseases. This mission is carried out
    under the five major areas of activity, as follows:

        Pest and disease exclusion.--The agency conducts inspection and
    quarantine activities at U.S. ports-of-entry to prevent the introduction
    of exotic animal and plant diseases and pests. APHIS develops and
    conducts preclearance programs to ensure that agricultural products
    destined for U.S. ports-of-entry do not present a risk to U.S.
    agriculture. APHIS engages in cooperative programs in foreign countries
    to control pests of imminent concern to the United States. APHIS also
    certifies plants and plant products for export and regulates imports and
    exports of designated endangered plant species. User fees have been
    implemented to recover the cost of certain agricultural quarantine
    inspection services.

        Plant and animal health monitoring.--The Agency conducts programs to
    assess animal and plant health and to detect endemic and exotic diseases
    and pests. The plant and animal health monitoring programs are primarily
    cooperative efforts of the Federal and State governments, and industry.
    The Agency also carries out surveys in cooperation with the States to
    detect harmful plant and animal pests and diseases and to determine if
    there is a need for pest eradication programs.

        Pest and disease management programs.--The Agency carries out
    programs to control and eradicate infestations and animal diseases that
    threaten the United States; to reduce agricultural losses caused by
    predatory animals, birds, and rodents; to provide technical assistance
    to States, counties, farmer or rancher groups, and foundations; and to
    ensure compliance with interstate movement and disease control
    regulations. Interstate shipments of plants, livestock, and related
    materials are monitored and regulated to prevent the spread of disease.
    APHIS protects agriculture from detrimental animal predators through
    identification, demonstration, and application of the most appropriate
    methods of control.

        Animal care.--The Agency conducts regulatory activities which ensure
    the humane care and handling of animals used in research, exhibition, or
    the wholesale pet trade. The Agency is also responsible for
    administering the Horse Protection Act, which prohibits the showing,
    selling, or exhibition of sore horses.

        Scientific and technical services.--APHIS develops methods to
    control animals and pests that are detrimental to agriculture, other
    wildlife, and public safety. The agency regulates genetic research to
    guard against the release of potentially harmful organisms into the
    environment. APHIS also conducts veterinary diagnostic laboratory
    activities and biologic regulatory enforcement to ensure that the
    products developed for combatting disease are potent, safe, and pure. It
    also provides and directs technology development in coordination with
    other groups in APHIS and Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ)
    officials to support PPQ programs of the Agency and its cooperators at
    the State, national, and international levels.

        APHIS will reduce the number of plant and pest line items from
    seventeen to eight in order to provide maximum flexibility to respond to
    changing priorities and needs as they arise, within the major functions
    appearing in the appropriations request.

        A new Medfly line item is proposed for a prophylactic program of
    sterile fly releases to avoid the use of Commodity Credit Corporation
    funds to eradicate large outbreaks.

        In addition, fees collected in the AQI user fee account are proposed
    to be available without appropriations action, in order to better
    provide services that are driven by demand.

        Legislation will be proposed to charge fees for all overtime
    inspections of meat, poultry, and egg products at all establishments
    inspected by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Currently,
    fees to reimburse the cost of overtime inspection are required at some
    FSIS-inspected establishments, but not at others. The Federal government
    would continue to pay the full cost for a primary, eight-hour inspection
    shift.

        The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA)
    establishes official United States standards for grain, promotes the
    uniform application thereof by official inspection personnel, provides
    for an official inspection system for grain, and regulates the weighing
    and certification of the weight of grain shipped in interstate or
    foreign commerce as authorized by the U.S. Grain Standards Act (USGSA),
    as amended, and the regulations thereof, and the Agricultural Marketing
    Act of 1946 (AMA).

        Standardization activities include establishing and updating U.S.
    grain standards, research, and developing and improving methods to
    ensure the accurate and uniform application of the standards.

        The compliance activities ensure the accurate and uniform
    application of the USGSA and applicable provisions of the AMA. The
    compliance program functions include: (1) evaluating alleged violations
    and initiating preliminary investigations; (2) initiating the
    implementation of corrective actions; (3) conducting management and
    technical reviews; (4) administering the designations and delegations of
    State and private agencies to perform official functions and monitoring
    the performance of the agencies; (5) identifying and, where appropriate,
    waiving and monitoring conflicts of interest; (6) licensing personnel of
    delegated States and designated agencies; (7) registering persons/firms
    engaged in the business of buying grain for sale in foreign commerce,
    and in the business of handling, weighing, or transporting of grain for
    sale in foreign commerce; (8) responding to audits of Grain Inspection
    programs; and (9) reviewing and, when appropriate, approving official
    agencies' fee schedules.

        The International Monitoring Staff briefs foreign buyers, assesses
    foreign inspection and weighing techniques, and responds to foreign
    quality and quantity complaints.

    [[Page 153]]

        An advisory committee consisting of members from the grain industry
    exists to advise the Agency regarding efficient and economical
    implementation of the USGSA.

        The Grain Quality Improvement Act of 1986 was enacted on November
    10, 1986, to improve the quality of U.S. grain by prohibiting the
    introduction and reintroduction of dockage and foreign material to
    grain.

        For 1997, authorizing legislation will be submitted to permit,
    subject to appropriations, the collection and use of fees to cover the
    cost of standardization activities.

        The goal of the Packers and Stockyards program is to ensure the
    integrity of the livestock, meat, and poultry markets and the
    marketplace in order to protect producers against unfair, deceptive, or
    discriminatory practices as well as those that are predatory or
    monopolistic in nature. Consumers and members of the livestock, poultry,
    and meat industries are also protected against unfair business practices
    in the marketing of livestock, meat and poultry, and from restrictions
    on competition which could unduly affect prices. The Agency also carries
    out the Secretary's responsibilities under Section 1324 of the Food
    Security Act of 1985 covering ``central filing systems'' established by
    States for pre-notification of security interests against farm products.

        Authorizing legislation will be submitted that would establish a
    license fee that, subject to appropriations, would allow the collection
    and expenditure of funds for all costs associated with administering the
    Packers and Stockyards Act. Authorizing legislation will also be
    submitted to establish a Dealers Trust. This would require livestock
    inventories and accounts receivable due from the sale of livestock to be
    held in trust for unpaid cash sellers at a time of financial failure.

        The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA)
    provides a uniform system for the inspection and weighing of grain.
    Services provided under this system are financed through a fee supported
    revolving fund. This authority has been extended through September 2000.

        Fee supported programs include direct services, supervision
    activities and administrative functions. Direct services include
    official grain inspection and weighing by GIPSA employees at certain
    export ports as well as the inspection of U.S. grain shipped through
    Canada. The Agency supervises the inspection and weighing activities
    performed by its own employees. The agency also oversees the inspection
    and weighing of grain performed by employees of 8 delegated States and
    66 designated State and private agencies. The Agency provides an appeal
    service of original grain inspections and a registration system for
    grain exporting firms. Through support from the Association of American
    Railroads and user fees, GIPSA conducts a railroad track scale testing
    program. In addition, the agency provides grading services, on request,
    for rice and grain related products under the authority of the
    Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA).

        Agricultural Marketing Service activities assist producers and
    handlers of agricultural commodities by providing a variety of marketing
    services. These services continue to become more complex as the volume
    of agricultural commodities increases, as a greater number of new
    processed commodities are developed, and as the agricultural market
    structure undergoes extensive changes. Marketing changes include
    increased concentration in food retailing, direct buying,
    decentralization of processing, growth of interregional competition,
    vertical integration, and contract farming. The individual activities
    include:

        Market news service.--The market news program provides the
    agricultural community with information pertaining to the movement of
    agricultural products. This nationwide service provides daily reports on
    the supply, demand, and price of over 800 commodities throughout the
    country.

        Inspection, grading and standardization.--Nationally uniform
    standards of quality for agricultural products are established and
    applied to specific lots of products to: promote confidence between
    buyers and sellers; reduce hazards in marketing due to misunderstandings
    and disputes arising from the use of nonstandard descriptions; and
    encourage better preparation of uniform quality products for market.
    Grading services are provided for cotton and domestic and imported
    tobacco.

        Quarterly inspection of egg handlers and hatcheries is conducted to
    ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit for human consumption.

        Market protection and promotion.--This program consists of: (1) the
    research and promotion programs which are designed to improve the
    competitive position and expand markets for cotton, eggs and egg
    products, honey, pork, beef, dairy products, potatoes, watermelons,
    mushrooms, soybeans, fluid milk and fresh cut flowers and greens; (2)
    the Federal Seed Act; and (3) the administration of the Capper-Volstead
    Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act.

        The lime program was defeated in referendum in November 1995. Fluid
    milk assessments were collected only during six months in 1994 to fund
    the first 30 months of the program, as stipulated in the producers plan.

        The pesticide recordkeeping program monitors compliance of private
    certified applicators with Federal regulations requiring them to keep
    records of restricted pesticides used in agricultural production.

        The pesticide data program develops comprehensive, statistically
    defensible information on pesticide residues in food to improve
    government dietary risk procedures.

        Federal seed inspectors conduct tests on seed samples to help ensure
    truthful labeling of agricultural and vegetable seeds sold in interstate
    commerce.

        The Capper-Volstead Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act
    protect producers against discriminatory practices by handlers, permit
    producers to engage in cooperative efforts, and ensure that such
    cooperatives do not engage in practices that monopolize or restrain
    trade.

    agricultural commodities and by providing technical assistance to urban
    areas interested in improving their food distribution facilities.

        Transportation Services.--The activities are designed to ensure that

        License fees are deposited in this special fund and are used to meet
    the costs of administering the Perishable Agricultural Commodities and
    the Produce Agency Acts (7 U.S.C. 491-497, 499a-499s).

        The Acts are intended to ensure equitable treatment to farmers and
    others in the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables.
    Commission merchants, dealers, and brokers handling these products in
    interstate and foreign commerce are licensed. Complaints of violations
    are investigated and violations dealt with by (a) informal agreements
    between the two parties, (b) formal decisions involving payment of
    reparation awards, and/or (c) suspension or revocation of license and/or
    publication of the facts. Beginning October 1, 1994, an additional fee
    was instituted for the filing of formal and informal complaints of
    violations of the Act. The November 1995 amendments to the Perishable
    Agricultural Commodities Act: (1) increase the license fee and phase out
    fees for wholesale grocers and retailers by 1999; (2) provide permanent
    authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license and reparation
    complaint filing fees; and repeal the 25 percent maximum funding reserve
    cap.

        A 1984 amendment to the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act
    requires traders to have trust assets on hand to meet their obligations
    to fruit and vegetable suppliers. To preserve their trust and establish
    their rights ahead of other creditors, unpaid suppliers file notice with
    both the Department and their debtors that payment is due.

        Under section 32 of the act of August 24, 1935, as amended (7 U.S.C.
    612c), an amount equal to 30 percent of customs receipts collected
    during each calendar year is automatically appropriated for expanding
    outlets for nonbasic commodities. An amount equal to 30 percent of
    receipts collected on fishery products is transferred to the Department
    of Commerce. Most of the funds are transferred to the Food and Consumer
    and are used to purchase commodities under section 6 of the National
    School Lunch Act and other authorities specified in the child nutrition
    appropriation. If unforeseen commodity surpluses should develop,
    unobligated reserve balances are available for surplus removal. A
    portion of section 32 funds issued to promote oilseed and exports. The
    General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) requires annual reductions
    in oilseed export subsidies.

        Expenses and refunds, inspection and grading of farm products.--The
    commodity grading programs provide grading, examination, and
    certification services for a wide variety of fresh and processed food
    commodities using federally approved grade standards and purchase
    specifications. Commodities graded include poultry, livestock, meat,
    dairy products, and fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. These
    programs use official grade standards which reflect the relative quality
    of a particular food commodity based on laboratory testing and
    characteristics such as taste, color, weight, and physical condition.
    Producers voluntarily request grading and certification services which
    are provided on a fee for service basis.

        Note.--The administration fund totals are comprised of 33 separate
    independent order accounts in 1995. The Marketing Service fund totals
    are comprised of 31 separate independent order accounts in 1995.

        The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural
    Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended--under certain conditions--
    to issue Federal milk marketing orders establishing minimum prices which
    handlers are required to pay for milk purchased from producers.

        Market administrators are appointed by the Secretary and are
    responsible for carrying out the terms of specific marketing orders.
    Their operating expenses, partly financed by assessments on regulated
    handlers and partly by deductions from producers, are reported in these
    schedules. These funds are collected locally, deposited in local banks,
    and disbursed directly by the market administrator.

        Expenses of local offices are met from an administrative fund and a
    marketing service fund, which are prescribed in each order. The
    administrative fund is derived from prorated handler assessments. The
    marketing service fund of the individual order disseminates market
    information to producers who are not members of a qualified cooperative.
    It also provides for the verification of the weights, sampling, and
    testing of milk from these producers. The cost of these services is
    borne by such producers.

        The maximum rates for administrative assessment and for marketing
    services are set forth in each order and adjustments below these rates
    are made from time to time upon recommendations by the market
    administrator and upon approval of the Agricultural Marketing Service to
    provide reserves at about a 6-month operating level. Upon termination of
    any order, the statute provides for distributing the proceeds from net
    assets pro rata to contributing handlers or producers, as the case may
    be.

        The Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers the commodity price
    support and production adjustment programs financed by the Commodity
    Credit Corporation, the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and several
    conservation cost-share programs, crop insurance and other risk
    management programs and farm ownership and operating, emergency, and
    disaster loan programs. Also, the administrative support functions of
    the Foreign Agricultural Service are being provided by FSA.

         This consolidated administrative expenses account includes funds to
    cover expenses of programs administered by, and functions assigned to,
    the Agency. The funds consist of a direct appropriation, transfers from
    program loan accounts under credit reform procedures, user fees, and
    advances and reimbursements from other sources. This is a consolidated
    account for administrative expenses of national, regional, State, and
    county offices. Beginning in 1997, certain crop insurance delivery
    expenses of reinsured companies will also be paid from the FSA
    administrative expenses account in accordance with the Federal Crop
    Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of
    1994, P.L. 103-354. New appropriation language is proposed to facilitate
    this requirement.

        Program formulation and appraisal.--The supply adjustment,
    conservation, and commodity support programs, and the management and
    merchandising of commodities acquired under the support program, have a
    significant impact on the national and (to a lesser extent) the
    international economy. This activity provides for the review and
    analysis of the effectiveness of these programs.

        Inventory management and merchandising.--This activity includes: (a)
    overall management of CCC-owned commodities; (b) purchasing commodities;
    (c) donating commodities; (d) selling commodities; and (e) accounting
    for loans and commodities.

        Warehouse examination.--This activity provides for the examination
    of warehouses licensed under the U.S. Warehouse Act and non-licensed
    warehouses storing CCC-owned or pledged commodities. Examiners perform
    periodic examinations of the facilities and the warehouse records to
    ensure protection of depositors against potential losses of the stored
    commodities and to ensure compliance with the U.S. Warehouse Act and any
    CCC storage agreements.

        Operation of supply adjustment, conservation and price support
    programs.--This activity includes all functions dealing with the
    administration of programs carried out through the farmer committee
    system of the FSA, including: (a) developing program regulations and
    procedures; (b) collecting and compiling basic data for individual
    farms; (c) establishing individual farm allotments, bases, and yields;
    (d) notifying producers of established allotments, bases, and yields;
    (e) determining farm marketing quotas; (f) conducting referendums and
    certifying results; (g) accepting farmer certifications and check

    [[Page 162]]
    ing compliance; (h) accepting producer applications for participation in
    commodity price stabilizing programs; (i) issuing marketing cards so
    that production from the allotted acreage can be marketed without
    penalty; (j) processing producer requests for conservation cost-sharing
    and issuing conservation reserve rental payments; (k) processing
    commodity loan documents and issuing checks; (l) processing deficiency
    and diversion payments and issuing checks; and (m) certifying payment
    eligibility and monitoring payment limitations.

        Risk Management.--Includes the program activities that are in direct
    support of the insurance program. The Federal Crop Insurance Act of 1994
    required the development of new insurance programs that would assist
    individual producers in achieving financial protection against
    unavoidable causes of loss. Key provisions of the insurance program are:
    catastrophic crop insurance protection available at nominal cost to all
    producers of insurable crops; a system of ``linkage'' to other producer
    programs such as price support, production adjustment programs, certain
    loan programs and the Conservation Reserve Program; an enhanced delivery
    system that allows a producer to choose to purchase catastrophic
    coverage through a crop insurance agent or a local FSA office; and a
    non-insured program for losses incurred for most crops that are not yet
    insurable. The new insurance program also offers producers additional
    coverage to obtain greater protection against crop losses. Incentives to
    purchase additional coverage are partial subsidization of premiums and
    the automatic inclusion of catastrophic protection, without cost, in the
    insurance policy. The delivery of additional coverage is provided by
    private sector insurance agents. Functions included are research and
    development, insurance services, compliance and emergency and non-
    insured assistance. Included is policy formulation, procedures, and
    regulations development. Reviews and evaluation are conducted for
    overall performance to ensure the actuarial soundness of the insurance
    program.

        Farm Credit Activities (Reimbursable).--Provides for administering
    the direct and guaranteed loan programs covered under the Agricultural
    Credit Insurance Fund (ACIF). Activities include reviewing applications,
    servicing the loan portfolio, and providing technical assistance and
    guidance to borrowers. These administrative expenses are transferred to
    this consolidated account from the ACIF. Appropriations representing
    subsidy amounts necessary to support the individual program loan levels
    under Federal Credit Reform are made to the ACIF account.

        Other Reimbursable Activities.--This includes all FSA activities
    necessary to provide the Foreign Agricultural Service with
    administrative support services under an annual reimbursable agreement.

        At the time the 1997 Budget was being prepared, new farm program
    legislation was under consideration by Congress. This proposed
    legislation, if enacted, would result in significant changes in the
    workload of the Farm Service Agency in FY 1996 and 1997. Depending on
    the final outcome of the legislation, workload compared to FY 1995 could
    decrease by over 2,000 staff years in 1997, with additional workload
    reductions in subsequent years. The Administration may submit a budget
    amendment for the Salaries and Expenses account to reflect appropriate
    adjustments.

        The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was mandated by sections
    1231-1244 of the Food Security Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-198), as
    amended by sections 1411-1499 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation,
    and Trade Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-624), and the Omnibus Budget
    Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-66), to establish permanent cover
    on highly erodible cropland and on cropland posing environmental
    threats. The primary objectives of the CRP are to help farmers control
    critical soil erosion that occurs on about a third of America's highly
    erodible and environmentally sensitive cropland and to decrease
    production of some surplus agricultural commodities.

        The CRP is authorized in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
    Islands, on all croplands meeting the eligibility criteria of eroding at
    three times the soil loss tolerance or higher, or twice the soil loss
    tolerance with serious gully erosion or with an erosion predominance of
    66\2/3\ percent of the field if planted to grass or an erosion
    predominance of 33\1/3\ percent if the area is planted to trees. In
    addition to cropland in areas adjacent to lakes and streams that can be
    devoted to filter strips, and cropland subject to overflow and suffering
    from scour erosion, eligible land may include shelterbelts, windbreaks,
    cropland contributing to water quality problems, and other lands posing
    environmental threats. Also eligible for the CRP are water quality
    impaired areas that do not meet the highly erodible land (HEL) criteria,
    such as the Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, and Long Island Sound watershed
    regions.

        The program is administered through the Commodity Credit Corporation
    (CCC) by State and local committees working under the general direction
    of the Secretary.

        Under the Food Security Act, as amended by Public Laws 101-624 and
    103-66, authority is provided to enter into CRP contracts through the
    1995 crop year. Appropriations are needed to make annual payments on 10-
    to 15-year contracts and for useful life easements on extended acres.

        From program inception in 1986 through 1995, approximately 36.4
    million acres were enrolled. During 1995, the Secretary authorized
    voluntary early termination of CRP contracts, without penalty, on
    enrolled acres that are less environmentally sensitive, followed by an
    enrollment of replacement acres that provide for greater environmental
    benefits. A total of 684 thousand acres was replaced. CRP contract
    holders are eligible to extend CRP contracts up to 10 years, including
    altering the CRP lands under contract within a farm to bring more
    environmentally sensitive lands under contract as long as the total
    number of acres remains unchanged. Producers are also able to place
    permanent conservation easements on the highest priority lands.

        In accordance with Sec. 725 of the FY 1996 Agriculture
    Appropriations Act, no CRP signup will be held during FY 1996. As
    authorized by the same section, however, 1.6 million acres will be
    enrolled during FY 1997.

        The appropriation requested for 1997 will be used for annual rental
    and easement payments due on 1997 and prior crop years' contracts and
    for cost-share and technical assistance on 1997 and prior crop year
    enrollments.

        The primary objectives of the program are to conserve soil and water
    resources. Along with annual agreements, cost sharing is authorized for
    long-term agreements of 3-10 years.

        The program is administered by county committees, with review and
    approval by State committees and the Secretary. Technical assistance is
    provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and by the Forest
    Service.

        The 1996 program level of $75 million will be allocated to States
    based on the highest priority soil and water resource problems and is
    expected to treat 2.1 million acres. Practices are expected to prevent
    approximately 9.4 million tons of

    [[Page 165]]
    soil erosion and save 201,000 acre-feet of water. The requested 1997
    program level of $75 million will also be allocated to States based on
    the highest priority soil and water resource problems and is expected to
    treat 1.9 million acres. Soil erosion control and water conservation
    practices are expected to prevent approximately 8.6 million tons of soil
    erosion and save 183,000 acre-feet of water.

        The 1997 budget proposes funding for activities consistent with the
    Government-wide water quality initiative as well as practices that help
    solve soil and water conservation problems identified in State and
    county ACP plans. The 1997 budget directs funding for water quality
    incentive projects on eligible lands to meet water quality standards or
    goals. Approximately 787,000 acres will be treated with practices that
    address water quality improvement objectives.

        Approximately 102,000 acres will be treated to address other
    conservation needs such as rangeland improvement and wildlife habitat
    establishment.

        Cost-sharing on 35,000 acres will plant about 23.4 million trees to
    improve and replenish forest land.

        This program was authorized by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978
    (16 U.S.C. 2201-05). It provides funds for sharing the cost of emergency
    measures to deal with cases of severe damage to farmlands and rangelands
    resulting from natural disasters.

        In fiscal year 1995, pursuant to P.L. 103-330, enacted September 30,
    1994, $23 million was transferred to the Emergency Conservation Program,
    to remain available until expended, from funding appropriated to
    Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations. Under the 1995 program, cost-
    sharing and technical assistance were provided in 39 States to treat
    farmlands damaged by floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and
    drought. The 1995 program rehabilitated approximately 873,795 acres of
    farmland damaged by these natural disasters as well as Hurricanes Andrew
    and Iniki, Typhoon Omar, and the Midwest Flood of 1993.

        No funding was provided in FY 1996 Agriculture Appropriations Act
    for this program. The 1997 budget proposes no funding.

        Prior to the reorganization of USDA, Congress provided a separate
    1995 appropriation for Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC)
    administrative expenses. For 1996, a consolidated appropriation account
    has been enacted for all FSA administrative expenses, which include the
    FCIC activities now administered by FSA. The schedules shown here
    reflect final data for the 1995 FCIC administrative and operating
    account, which has now been eliminated.

        The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is a wholly-owned
    government Corporation which provides crop insurance to crop producers
    against losses because of unavoidable causes and/or uncontrollable
    events. The Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994 made significant
    changes in the program to provide more of the Nation's farmers with an
    on-going source of risk protection and to reduce the need for ad hoc
    disaster payment assistance.

        To be eligible for benefits under the price support or production
    adjustment program, the Conservation Reserve Program, or farm credit
    programs, the producer must obtain at least the catastrophic level of
    coverage for each insurable crop of economic significance grown on each
    farm in the county in which the producer has an interest. Catastrophic
    crop insurance protection will be fully subsidized with the exception of
    a minor processing fee to be paid by the farmer. This will compensate
    the farmer for yield losses exceeding 50 percent of a yield and at a
    price equal to 60 percent of a maximum price.

        Additional protection at higher levels of coverage will continue to
    be offered. Coverage levels will be subsidized to the extent of the
    premium on at least the catastrophic level of coverage and the delivery
    costs.

        A noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program is available to
    provide coverage equivalent to the catastrophic risk protection in areas
    where catastrophic risk protection is not available and if such crop is
    produced for food or fiber.

        The 1995 appropriation and 1994 Reform Act funding provisions
    provided sufficient funding for crop year 1995 to insure 236.2 million
    acres with an estimated $1,550 million in total premium income,
    including $990.8 million in premium subsidy.

        The following table compares the scope of the insurance operations
    planned for 1997. Amounts in the 1995 column are as of September 30,
    1995, and pertain to the 1995 crop year.

        The Corporation's budget is presented in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    (FASB) Statement No. 60, ``Accounting and Reporting by Insurance
    Enterprises,'' and Statement No. 5, ``Accounting for Contingencies.''

        Under the Dairy Indemnity Program (DIP), payments are made to
    farmers and manufacturers who are directed to remove their milk or milk
    products from commercial markets because they contain residues of
    chemicals that have been registered and approved for use by the Federal
    Government, other chemicals, nuclear radiation, or nuclear fallout.
    Indemnification may also be paid for cows producing such milk.

        In 1996, an estimated $400 thousand will be paid to producers and
    manufacturers who file claims under the program.

        The 1997 budget requests $100 thousand for this program.

        Financing.--The Corporation is authorized under the Federal Crop
    Insurance Act, as amended, to use funds from the issuance of capital
    stock which provides working capital for the Corporation.

        Receipts, which are for deposit to this fund, come mainly from
    premiums paid by farmers. The principal payments from

    [[Page 168]]
    this fund are for indemnities to insured farmers, and agents'
    commissions.

        Premium subsidies are authorized by section 508(b) of the Federal
    Crop Insurance Act, as amended, and are received from both those insured
    and through appropriations.

        The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) was created to: stabilize,
    support, and protect farm income and prices; help maintain balanced and
    adequate supplies of agricultural commodities, their products, foods,
    feeds, and fibers; and help in their orderly distribution.

        The Corporation's capital stock of $100 million is held by the U.S.
    Treasury. Under present law, up to $30 billion may be borrowed from the
    U.S. Treasury to finance operations.

        Current, indefinite appropriation authority is requested to cover
    all net realized losses. Appropriations to the Corporation for net
    realized losses have no effect on budget authority, as they are used to
    repay debt directly with the Treasury.

        Budget assumptions.--The following general assumptions form the
    basis for the Corporation's 1996 and 1997 budget estimates: (a) national
    income will rise both in 1996 and 1997 from the present level; (b) 1996
    crop production will increase from 1995 crop levels for most
    commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 1997
    are expected to be slightly lower than 1996 levels; (d) yields for the
    1996 crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trend; (e) acreage
    allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect for the 1996 crops of
    certain kinds of tobacco; (f) poundage quotas will be in effect for the
    1996 crop of peanuts; and (g) market conditions are projected to result
    in the use of corn for ethanol continuing to expand over the next
    several years, despite court action preventing implementation of ethanol
    regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency in December
    1993.

        It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the year
    ending September 30, 1997, since the projections are subject to complex
    and unpredictable factors such as weather, other factors which affect
    the volume of production of crops not yet planted, feed and food needs
    here and overseas, and available dollar exchange. Outlays for the
    Commodity Credit Corporation are projected here on the basis of
    provisions enacted in the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act
    of 1990 (the 1990 Act). Although these authorities for most program
    crops expired with the 1995 crop, farm bill legislation extending or
    revising the authorities had not been enacted by the time these budget
    estimates were prepared. In the absence of new legislation extending or
    revising these provisions, statutory authority for wheat, feed grains,
    rice, and extra long staple (ELS) cotton revert to authority provided in
    the Agricultural Act of 1949, the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938,
    and the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act. Outlays for these 1996
    crops are estimated to total about $2 billion under provisions of the
    1990 Act. Under permanent law provisions, outlays for these crops are
    estimated to total between $10 billion and $12 billion.

        The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) also significantly affects
    the CCC budget estimates, since there are significant interactive
    effects between the two baselines. The CRP is assumed to fall from
    current levels of about 36.4 million acres to about 27.9 million acres
    in 2002. The crop assumptions reflect a combination of assumptions for
    early terminations of contracts expiring in 1996, a new enrollment in
    1997 to add approximately 1.6 million acres, and contract extensions and
    modifications at maturity. If CRP acreage were limited to a lesser
    amount, CCC outlays would be estimated to increase.

        Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for net
    realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations:

                           programs of the corporation

        Price support and related stabilization programs.--The Corporation
    conducts programs to support farm income and prices and stabilize the
    market for agricultural commodities. Price support is provided to
    producers of agricultural commodities through loans, purchases,
    payments, and other means. This is done mainly under the Commodity
    Credit Corporation Charter Act, as amended, the Agricultural Act of
    1949, as amended, and the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as
    amended.

        Price support is mandatory for the basic commodities--corn, cotton,
    wheat, rice, peanuts, and tobacco. The Agricultural Act of 1949, as
    amended, also requires support of the following nonbasic commodities:
    honey, milk, barley, oats, rye, grain sorghum, sugar, and oilseeds.
    Support for other nonbasic commodities is discretionary. The support
    program may also include operations to remove and dispose of surplus
    agricultural commodities in order to stabilize prices at levels not in
    excess of those permissible by law.

        One method of providing support is loans to and purchases from
    producers. With limited exceptions, loans made on commodities are
    nonrecourse. The commodities serve as collateral for the loan and on
    maturity the producer may deliver or forfeit such collateral to satisfy
    the loan obligation without further payment.

        Direct purchases are also made from processors as well as producers,
    depending on the commodity involved. Also, special purchases are made
    under various laws for the removal of surpluses; for example, the Act of
    August 19, 1958, as amended, and section 416 of the Agricultural Act of
    1949, as amended.

        Acreage limitation program.--The Agricultural Act of 1949, as
    amended, authorizes the Secretary to establish, through the Corporation,
    acreage limitation programs for the 1991 through 1995 crops of wheat,
    feed grains, upland cotton, extra long staple cotton, and rice. The
    Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 amended the Agricultural Act
    of 1949 to authorize the Secretary to also establish, through the
    Corporation, acreage limitation programs for the 1996 and 1997 crops of
    upland cotton.

        Marketing assessments/loan origination fees.--The Omnibus Budget
    Reconciliation Act of 1990 and the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and
    Trade Act of 1990 amended the National Wool Act of 1954 and the
    Agricultural Act of 1949 to require marketing assessments for wool and
    mohair, malting barley, peanuts, tobacco, honey, dairy, and sugar. A two
    percent loan origination fee was required for oilseeds. The Omnibus
    Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 amended the National Wool Act of 1954
    and the Agricultural Act of 1949 to eliminate marketing assessments for
    wool and mohair effective with the 1993 marketing year and for honey
    effective

    [[Page 171]]
    with the 1994 crop year. The two percent loan origination fee for
    oilseeds was also eliminated effective with the 1994 crop year.
    Marketing assessments for peanuts, tobacco, and sugar were also
    increased.

        Options Pilot Program.--The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and
    Trade Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-624), as amended, authorizes the Secretary
    to conduct a pilot program for the 1991 through 1995 crops of corn and
    for the 1993 through 1995 crops of wheat and soybeans to determine
    whether options trading can be used by producers to obtain protection
    from price fluctuations and the impact of such trading on market prices
    of the commodities. An Options Pilot Program was implemented for the
    1993, 1994, and 1995 crops of corn, wheat, and soybeans.

        Land diversion payments.--The Secretary is authorized to establish
    paid land diversion programs for wheat, feed grains, upland cotton,
    extra long staple (ELS) cotton, and rice.

        Producer eligibility.--Producers of wheat, feed grains, upland
    cotton, ELS cotton, and rice must comply with acreage limitation
    provisions in order to be eligible for price support loans and
    purchases, deficiency payments, and other program benefits.

        Deficiency payments.--The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended,
    establishes: (1) minimum established ``target'' prices for the 1991
    through 1995 crops of the following commodities--wheat, corn, upland
    cotton, rice, and ELS cotton; (2) minimum price support loan and
    purchase levels for wheat, feed grains, and rice; and (3) minimum price
    support loan levels for upland cotton and ELS cotton. The Omnibus Budget
    Reconciliation Act of 1993 amended the Agricultural Act of 1949 to also
    establish minimum target prices for the 1996 and 1997 crops of upland
    cotton. The Extra Long Staple Cotton Program, however, as a result of
    the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, will end after the 1995 crop
    of cotton. Deficiency payments for each of the commodities are required
    when the target price for the commodity exceeds the national average
    market price or the price support loan level, whichever is higher. The
    target prices for grain sorghum and oats and, if designated by the
    Secretary, barley, are established at a level which is fair and
    reasonable in relation to the target prices established for corn. These
    payments may be paid by cash or on a non-cash basis, including payments
    in the form of commodities or commodity certificates that may be
    exchanged for commodities owned by CCC.

        Disaster payments.--The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and
    Drug Administration, and Related Appropriations Act, 1995, P.L. 103-330,
    enacted September 30, 1994, made funds available for 1994 crop losses
    due to natural disasters. The use of CCC funds was authorized, to be
    made available only to the extent the President declares such funds to
    be an ``emergency requirement'' under the Balanced Budget and Emergency
    Deficit Control Act of 1985 and submits a budget request for a specific
    dollar amount. The President submitted a budget request for the use of
    $1,000,000,000 in CCC funds on November 3, 1994.

        The Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994, P.L. 103-354, was
    enacted on October 13, 1994. The reform provisions remove the authority
    in the Agricultural Act of 1949 for disaster payments and expand current
    crop insurance authorities to provide for catastrophic coverage at 50
    percent yield protection at a flat fee for crops currently covered by
    insurance programs. Crop insurance coverage, where available, will be
    mandatory for participants of the price and income support programs.
    Where crop insurance is not available, producers of crops for food and
    fiber and certain other crops will be covered under a Noninsured
    Assistance Program. The program will reimburse producers at the same
    rates and terms as the catastrophic program where assistance is
    triggered by area wide disasters.

        Marketing loan and certificate programs.--The Agricultural Act of
    1949, as amended, provides for a mandatory marketing loan program for
    each of the 1991 through 1995 crops of rice, upland cotton, and oilseeds
    and a discretionary marketing loan program for each of the 1991 through
    1995 crops of wheat, feed grains, and honey. Under a marketing loan
    program, a producer may repay a price support loan at a level that is
    lower than the original loan rate. Section 1302 of the Omnibus Budget
    Reconciliation Act of 1990 provides that the Secretary shall permit
    producers to repay price support loans for 1993 through 1995 crops of
    wheat and feed grains at such a lower level under certain circumstances
    relating to achievement of an agricultural trade agreement in connection
    with the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations under the
    General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The Agricultural Act of
    1949, as amended, provides for payments, in the form of negotiable
    marketing certificates, to first handlers of upland cotton (persons
    regularly engaged in buying or selling upland cotton) and also provides
    for a marketing certificate program for rice producers. CCC certificates
    issued totaled $57 million in FY 1994 and $2 million in FY 1995 and were
    almost entirely issued for the Upland Cotton User Marketing Program.

        The Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, authorizes the Dairy
    Export Incentive Program (DEIP) through calendar year 1995. DEIP
    provides subsidies to exporters of U.S. dairy products to help them
    compete with other subsidizing nations.

        Grain reserves.--The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended,
    authorizes a producer-owned grain reserve program for wheat and feed
    grains that provides 27 month extended loans to producers. Producers
    receive quarterly storage payments under the contract. Program
    provisions establish when interest is charged and storage payments are
    earned.

        Dairy.--The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, provides for a
    dairy price support program which sets the minimum support price for
    milk at $10.10 per hundredweight through December 1996. If, on January 1
    of each year, a milk surplus is estimated at less than 3.5 billion
    pounds, milk equivalent, the support price will be increased by 25 cents
    per hundredweight. If the surplus is estimated to be more than 5.0
    billion pounds, milk equivalent, the support price will be decreased by
    25 to 50 cents per hundredweight. The support price will be unchanged if
    the estimated surplus is estimated to be between 3.5 and 5.0 billion
    pounds, milk equivalent, as is assumed to be the case.

        Payment limitations.--The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade
    Act of 1990 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 amended
    the Food Security Act of 1985 to provide that the total amount of
    deficiency and land diversion payments, excluding any deficiency payment
    received as the result of a reduction of the wheat or feed grain price
    support loan level, that a person is entitled to receive under one or
    more annual programs for feed grains, wheat, upland cotton, ELS cotton,
    and rice for each of the 1991 through 1997 crops of these commodities
    shall not exceed $50,000. For each of the 1991 through 1997 crops of
    wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, rice, and oilseeds, gains from
    repaying a loan at a lower level than the original loan level, loan
    deficiency payments, and any deficiency payment received as a result of
    a reduction of the wheat or feed grain price support level shall not
    exceed $75,000. For each of the 1991 through 1997 crops the total amount
    of: (1) deficiency payments, land diversion payments, payments for
    resource adjustment (excluding diversion payments) or public access for
    recreation, disaster payments, loan deficiency payments, inventory
    reduction payments and gains realized from a marketing loan repayment
    with respect to wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, ELS cotton, rice, and
    oilseeds; and (2) gains realized by a producer from repaying a loan less
    than the original loan level with respect to other commodities, that a
    person shall be entitled to receive

    [[Page 172]]
    under one or more of the annual programs for such commodities shall not
    exceed $250,000, except as otherwise may be authorized by the Secretary.
    Annual rental payments made under the Conservation Reserve Program are
    limited to $50,000 per person. The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended,
    limits the total amount of benefits that a person may receive annually
    under one or more of the emergency livestock assistance programs to
    $50,000. Starting with the 1991 crop, the total amount of benefits that
    a person may receive under one or more of the emergency livestock
    assistance programs will be $50,000 per crop year rather than calendar
    year.

        The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 also
    amended the National Wool Act of 1954 to establish payment limitation
    provisions for the 1991 through 1995 marketing years of wool and mohair
    and also amended the Agricultural Act of 1949 to establish payment
    limitation provisions for the 1991 through 1995 crops of honey. The
    Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 further amended the National
    Wool Act of 1954 to extend payment limitation provisions to the 1996 and
    1997 marketing years and decrease the payment limitations for the 1994
    and 1995 marketing years. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
    also amended the Agricultural Act of 1949 to extend payment limitation
    provisions to the 1996 through 1998 crops of honey and to decrease the
    payment limitation for the 1995 marketing year. The annual payment
    limitations for these commodities are: $200,000 in 1991; $175,000 in
    1992; $150,000 in 1993; $125,000 in 1994; $100,000 in 1995; $75,000 in
    1996; and $50,000 in 1997. The annual payment limitation for honey is
    also $50,000 in 1998. 1995 and 1996 appropriations action limited the
    honey program to make only non-subsidized loans (i.e., loans cannot be
    forfeited with honey as collateral and loans must be repaid at the same
    rate that the loan was made) for the 1994, 1995, and 1996 crops of
    honey. The National Wool Act Amendments of 1993 (P.L. 103-130) repealed
    the National Wool Act of 1954 effective on December 31, 1995.

        Supply and foreign purchases.--The Corporation can procure from
    domestic and foreign sources food, agricultural commodities, and
    products and related materials to supply the needs of Federal agencies,
    foreign governments, and private and international relief agencies,
    under section 5(b) and (c) of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter
    Act, as amended.

        Commodity exports.--The Corporation promotes the export of
    agricultural commodities and products through sales for dollars or
    foreign currency, payments, extension of credit, assumption of certain
    risks, and conduct of other operations with respect to the exportation
    of commodities. Such commodities and products may be those held in
    private trade channels as well as those acquired by the Corporation.
    These programs are carried out under the authority of the CCC Charter
    Act and other specific legislation.

        Foreign donations.--Under the authority of section 416(b) of the
    Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, the Corporation may furnish
    eligible commodities for carrying out programs of assistance in
    developing and friendly countries under the Food for Progress Act of
    1985 and titles II and III of the Agricultural Trade Development Act of
    1954, as amended. CCC may pay costs associated with making the
    commodities available. Not to exceed $10 million of CCC funds or
    commodities may be used each fiscal year to enhance the development of
    private sector agriculture in countries receiving commodities under the
    Food for Progress Act of 1985.

        Operating expenses.--The Corporation carries out its functions
    through utilization of employees and facilities of other

    [[Page 173]]
    Government agencies. Administrative expenses are incurred by: the Farm
    Service Agency (FSA); the Foreign Agricultural Service; other agencies
    of the Department engaged in the Corporation's activities; and the
    Office of Inspector General for audit. Additional expenses are incurred
    by FSA county offices for work related to programs of the Corporation,
    other FSA expenses offset by revenue, custodian, and agency expenses of
    the Federal Reserve banks and lending agencies, and miscellaneous costs.

        Expenses are incurred for acquisition, operation, maintenance,
    improvement, or disposition of existing property that the Corporation
    owns or in which it has an interest. These expenses are treated as
    program expenses. Such program expenses include inspection, classing,
    and grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or
    Federal- or State-licensed inspectors; and special services performed by
    Federal agencies within and outside this Department. Most of these
    general expenses, including storage and handling, transportation,
    inspection, classing and grading, and producer storage payments, are
    included in program costs. They are shown in the program and financing
    schedule in the entries entitled ``Storage, transportation, and other
    obligations not included above,'' and ``Producer storage payments.''

        The Corporation receives reimbursement for grain requisitioned
    pursuant to Public Law 87-152 by the States from Corporation stocks to
    feed resident wildlife threatened with starvation through the
    appropriation reimbursement for net realized losses. There have been no
    requisitions in recent years, however.

                               special activities

        These activities are carried out under authority of section 5(g) of
    the Corporation's charter act and specific statutory authorizations or
    directives with respect thereto that are currently in effect or which
    may subsequently be enacted.

        A summary of such current activities not included under other
    designated activities is as follows:

        The Corporation receives appropriations or reimbursement for the
    cost of these activities as described under each.

        Activities currently being carried out are as follows (see Foreign
    Assistance programs for details of items (1), (2) and (3)).

        (4) National Wool Act.--Under the National Wool Act of 1954, as
    amended, support of wool and mohair prices is mandatory. The Corporation
    makes direct payments to producers of the difference between the
    national average price received by all producers and the support price
    required under the act.

        Funds of the Corporation are used to carry on this program. Section
    705 of the act appropriates each fiscal year an amount equal to amounts
    expended by the Corporation during the preceding year and to amounts
    expended in all prior fiscal years not previously reimbursed, but not to
    exceed an amount equal to 70 percent of the gross receipts from total
    duties collected on wool and wool manufactures during the calendar year
    preceding the fiscal year. The National Wool Act Amendments of 1993
    (P.L. 103-130) repealed the National Wool Act of 1954 effective December
    31, 1995.

                                    financing

        Borrowing authority.--The Corporation has an authorized capital
    stock of $100 million held by the U.S. Treasury and, effective in 1988,
    authority to have outstanding borrowings up to $30 billion at any one
    time.

        Funds are borrowed from the Treasury and may also be borrowed from
    private lending agencies and others. The Corporation reserves a
    sufficient amount of its borrowing authority to purchase at any time all
    notes and other obligations evidencing loans made to the Corporation by
    such agencies and others. All bonds, notes, debentures, and similar
    obligations issued by the Corporation are subject to approval by the
    Secretary of the Treasury as required by the Act of March 8, 1938.

        Interest on borrowings from the Treasury (and on capital stock) is
    paid at a rate based upon the average interest rate of all outstanding
    marketable obligations (of comparable maturity date) of the United
    States as of the preceding month. Interest is also paid on other notes
    and obligations at a rate prescribed by the Corporation and approved by
    the Secretary of the Treasury.

        The Department of Agriculture and Related Agencies Appropriation
    Act, 1966, made provision for terminating interest

    [[Page 174]]
    after June 30, 1964 on the portion of the Corporation's borrowings from
    the Treasury equal to the unreimbursed realized losses recorded on the
    books of the Corporation after the end of the fiscal year in which such
    losses are realized.

        Note.--Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other outstanding
    obligations not reflected on this table do not become charges against
    the statutory borrowing authority until they result in borrowings from
    the Treasury.

        Contract authority.--Price support and other programs required by
    statute may result in the Corporation incurring obligations in excess of
    available funds and borrowing authority. Such obligations are liquidated
    from subsequent appropriations and other funds that may become available
    to the Corporation. Any increase in obligations in excess of available
    fund resources is reported as contract authority in the year involved; a
    decrease is reported as the application of appropriations and other
    funds to liquidate the authority.

        Appropriations.--Under section 2 of Public Law 87-155 annual
    appropriations are authorized for each fiscal year to reimburse the
    Corporation for net realized losses incurred as of the close of each
    year.

        The special activities are financed as indicated in the program
    descriptions above. In addition to certain reimbursements from other
    agencies, appropriations are made for the National Wool Act (see above)
    and foreign assistance programs.

        Deficit.--The net realized losses of the Corporation have previously
    been reimbursed as follows:

        The Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund Program Account's loans are
    authorized by title III of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development
    Act, as amended.

        This program account includes subsidies to provide direct and
    guaranteed loans for farm ownership, farm operating, emergency, and soil
    and water loans to individuals. Associations, Indian tribes, and tribal
    corporations are eligible for the following types of loans: Indian land
    acquisition, watershed protection, flood prevention, and resource
    conservation and development.

        Additional funding for 1995 was provided in section 726 of Public
    Law 103-330 and is available only for emergency requirements as the
    President designates.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond
    (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative
    expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
    value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

        Technical assistance.--Technical assistance is provided through
    2,955 conservation districts or special districts to land users and
    decisionmakers, including individual landowners and operators, community
    groups, units of government, Indian tribes, and others for the planning
    of conservation programs and installation of needed conservation systems
    on the land, including design, layout, installation, and consultation
    services.

        Combinations of needed soil and water conservation systems are
    planned in relation to each other to achieve well-

    [[Page 182]]
    balanced conservation programs. Technicians explain the various soil
    conditions, develop alternative uses and treatments, help to evaluate
    the costs and returns of conservation work, and furnish onsite
    assistance to farmers, ranchers, and others in applying the needed
    treatments. About 70 percent of the total annual investment in
    conservation practices applied through the conservation technical
    assistance program is made by private landusers. During 1997, the
    National Resources Conservation Service will continue to provide
    technical assistance as needed for the Water Bank Program, Colorado
    River Basin Salinity Control Program, ongoing activities of the Great
    Plains Conservation Program, support for enrolled acres in the
    Conservation Reserve Program, and the highly erodible land and wetland
    conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985 as amended by
    the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990.

        Also included in this item are the inventory and monitoring,
    resource appraisal, and program development activities. Resource
    inventories are conducted to provide soil, water, and related resource
    data for evaluating land-use changes and trends; and for guidance in the
    development and implementation of Federal, State, and local resource
    conservation programs. Resource appraisal and program development
    provides for periodic reports to the public and Congress as required by
    the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977 as amended.

        Technical assistance will be targeted in 1997 through the use of
    area-wide watershed plans to achieve the goals of the Government
    Performance and Results Act. NRCS will fund certain high-priority
    activities, as a result, including area-wide planning on a watershed
    basis, a grazing lands initiative, Native American assistance, a
    wetlands initiative and more rapid development of Geographic Information
    Systems.

        Soil surveys.--Soil surveys and investigations are made of the
    Nation's soil resources, with interpretations and publications that
    provide physical land facts needed for program development, resource
    conservation planning, installation of planned practices, and for use by
    other Federal, State, and local agencies in making land-use decisions.
    National leadership is provided for digitizing soil surveys in
    cooperation with States, and other users of soil survey data.

        Snow survey water forecasting.--Water supply forecasts prepared from
    snow surveys in western states are used in making efficient seasonal use
    of water for irrigation, flood control, fish and wildlife, recreation,
    power generation, municipal and industrial water supply, and water
    quality management.

        Operation of plant materials centers.--The selection and evaluation
    of plant materials are made at 26 plant materials centers through field
    trials to determine their suitability for erosion control, conservation,
    and other environmental improvements. Native plant species will be
    preferred and exotic species introductions phased out for this program.

        The Department cooperates with other agencies and the States in
    planning small watersheds to reduce the damage from floodwater,
    sediment, agricultural run-off, and erosion and for the conservation,
    development, utilization, and disposal of water. Program activities will
    be accelerated for high priority natural resource concerns such as:
    water quality and wetlands restoration. This account will be used to
    develop plans to target agency resources to achieve the goals of the
    Government Performance and Results Act.

        The Department makes surveys of proposed small watershed projects,
    and work plans are prepared in cooperation with local sponsors. These
    plans outline the soil and water management problems in the watershed,
    the steps that have been or are authorized to be taken to alleviate
    these problems, the proposed works of improvement to be installed, the
    estimated benefits and costs, cost sharing, operation and maintenance
    arrangements, and other information necessary to justify Federal
    participation in project development. Watershed planning will emphasize
    water quality protection and improvement. This emphasis will better
    enable States to focus on watersheds in fulfilling the requirements of
    the Clean Water Act and in maintaining clean water. Program activities
    will be accelerated for high priority natural resource concerns such as:
    water quality and wetlands restoration.

        These programs provide for cooperation between the Federal
    Government and States and their political subdivisions to reduce damage
    from floodwater, sediment, and erosion, for the conservation,
    development, utilization, and disposal of water, and for the
    conservation and proper utilization of land. Funds in Watershed & Flood
    Prevention Operations could be used for either flood prevention projects
    or flood damage rehabilitation efforts, depending upon the needs and
    opportunities.

        Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 534.--The Department
    cooperates with soil conservation districts and other local
    organizations in planning and installing works of improvement for flood
    prevention in 11 watersheds authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944.
    The Federal Government shares the cost of works of improvement for flood
    prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and
    wildlife development. No funds are directly proposed for this activity;
    however worthwhile projects, those with high net social benefits and
    environmental objectives consistent with current Administrations
    priorities, can be continued under the Small Watershed Operations
    authorized by Public Law 566.

        Within the 11 authorized projects, 428 subwatershed areas have been
    identified for planning purposes. Installation progress in these
    subwatersheds is as follows:

        Emergency watershed protection operations.--This program authorizes
    the Secretary of Agriculture to undertake such emergency measures for
    runoff retardation and soil erosion prevention as may be needed to
    safeguard life and property from floods and the products of erosion on
    any watershed whenever natural elements or forces cause a sudden
    impairment of that watershed. An emergency is considered to exist when a
    watershed is suddenly impaired by flood, fire, wind, earthquake, or
    other natural cause and consequently life and property are endangered by
    floodwater, erosion, or sediment discharge. The emergency area need not
    be declared a national disaster area to be eligible for emergency
    watershed protection. Emergency watershed protection is applicable to
    small scale, localized disasters as well as large scale disasters. State
    environmental, natural resource, fish and game, and other agencies
    participate in planning and coordinating emergency work. An estimated $5
    million will be used in FY 1997 to purchase easements for the Emergency
    Wetland Reserve program.

        Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 566.--The
    Department provides technical and financial assistance to local
    organizations to install measures for watershed protection, flood
    prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and
    wildlife enhancement. Significant reforms will be carried out in 1996 to
    make this program environmentally beneficial, with high returns to
    society resulting from the investment. High priority P.L. 534 projects
    will be eligible to compete for funding for P.L. 566 funding.

        Watershed work plans are prepared by sponsoring local organizations
    with the Department's assistance or through State and local resources.
    After work plans are approved by the Department or Congress (projects
    where the estimated Federal contribution will exceed $5 million require
    congressional approval), financial assistance is provided for specific
    works of improvements.

        Under this program, the Department assists States, local units of
    government, groups and individuals in developing area plans for resource
    conservation and development (RC and D).

        RC and D areas are provided technical and financial assistance to
    help States and local units of government prepare plans for resource
    development and economic improvement and to plan and install community-
    type conservation projects or measures. Financial contributions, loans,
    and other Federal assistance are used to help carry out measures
    specified in RC and D area plans. Loans are made through the farm loan
    program of the Farm Service Agency, formerly the Farmers Home
    Administration, to qualified local organizations to help finance their
    share of the costs of installing the measures.

        The following tabulation shows the status of RC and D areas
    authorized to receive technical and financial assistance.

        This program was authorized by the Cooperative Forestry Assistance
    Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2101). The objectives of the program are to bring
    private, nonindustrial forest land under intensified management, to
    increase timber production, to ensure adequate supplies of timber
    products, and to enhance other forest resources. Acreage selected will
    be targeted to provide the maximum environmental benefits, particularly
    to benefit water quality and wildlife habitat.

        The Forestry Incentives Program shares up to 65 percent of the cost
    of tree planting and timberstand improvement. The percentage cost-shared
    depends on the rate set in a particular State and county by the Natural
    Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), after consulting with the State
    forester. The program is available in designated counties based on a
    Forest Service survey of total eligible private timberland available for
    production of timber products. Technical assistance is provided by
    Forest Service.

        The 1995 program provided funding for 141,194 acres of tree
    planting, and 22,540 acres in timber stand improvements. Under the 1996
    program, cost-sharing will be provided to farmers for planting trees on
    81,600 acres and improving the timberstand on 16,400 acres of forest.

        The 1997 program will provide cost-sharing for tree planting on
    81,600 acres and timberstand improvement on 16,400 acres.

        Beginning in 1996, technical assistance formerly included under this
    account will be requested under Conservation Operations.

        The objectives of the Water Bank Program are to conserve water;
    preserve, maintain, and improve the Nation's wetlands; increase
    waterfowl habitat in migratory waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding
    areas in the United States; and secure recreational and environmental
    benefits for the Nation. The program was authorized by the Water Bank
    Act of 1970, as amended by Public Law 96-182, approved January 2, 1980.
    The Water Bank Extension Act of 1994 extends for one year 1985
    agreements entered into under the Water Bank Act of 1970, and due to
    expire on December 31, 1995. Funding for the expiring 1985 Water Bank
    agreements were transferred from the Wetlands Reserve Program 1995
    appropriation to this account as authorized under the Water Bank
    Extension Act of 1994. Congress did not provide funding for this account
    in fiscal year 1996. For FY 1997, USDA does not request program funding.

        Under the Water Bank Program, the Secretary of Agriculture, through
    designated county offices, uses program funds to enter into 10-year
    agreements with landowners and operators for the conservation of
    specified wetlands. Provisions exist to renew agreements for additional
    periods, to make annual payments on agreements, and under certain
    conditions to increase payment rates in the fifth year of a contract or
    at the time of renewal. During the period of the agreement, the
    landowner agrees not to drain, burn, fill, or otherwise destroy the
    wetland character of such areas.

        During fiscal year 1996, approximately 5,838 agreements are expected
    on approximately 663,448 acres. For 1997, it is assumed that 5,357
    agreements will be in effect on approximately 605,290 acres.

                  Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program

      For necessary expenses for carrying out a voluntary cooperative
    salinity control program pursuant to section 202(c) of title II of the
    Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
    1592(c)), to be used to reduce salinity in the Colorado River and to
    enhance the supply and quality of water available for use in the United
    States and the Republic of Mexico, $2,681,000, to remain available until
    expended (7 U.S.C. 2209b), to be used for the establishment of on-farm
    irrigation management systems, including lateral improvement measures,
    for making cost-share payments to agricultural landowners and operators,
    Indian tribes, irrigation districts and associations, local governmental
    and nongovernmental entities, and other landowners to aid them in
    carrying out approved conservation practices as determined and
    recommended by the Secretary, and for associated costs of program
    planning, information and education, and program monitoring and
    evaluation. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug
    Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996.)

        Beginning in 1996, technical assistance formerly included under this
    account will be requested under Conservation Operations.

        This program carries out the purposes of section 202(c) of title II
    of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act (43 U.S.C. 1592(c)), as
    amended, by providing cost-share assistance to landowners and others in
    the Colorado River Basin. States will include: Arizona, California,
    Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The main objective is to
    enhance the supply and quality of water in the Colorado River for
    delivery to downstream users in the U.S. and Mexico.

        Practices are recommended by the Secretary of Agriculture.

        The 1996 program will focus on five project areas in Colorado, Utah,
    and Wyoming.

        The 1997 budget will provide financial assistance in promoting the
    Government-wide water quality initiative. The funding level of
    approximately $2.7 million will fund the current five existing projects.
    Technical assistance funds have been provided directly within the
    Conservation Operations account.

        Under this program, 30 percent of cost-share funds will be
    reimbursed to the U.S. Treasury by the Colorado River Basin States.

        During fiscal year 1995, approximately 102 contracts were signed
    under the program in the five current project areas. For FY 1996, it is
    estimated that approximately 115 contracts will be active under the
    program. For FY 1997, approximately 100 contracts are anticipated for
    the program.

        The Wetlands Reserve Program is authorized by Title XIV, Section
    1438 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (P.L.
    101-624), as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
    (P.L. 103-66). The 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act authorizes the
    enrollment of not less than 330,000 acres by the end of calendar year
    1995, and not less than 975,000 total cumulative acres enrolled by the
    end of calendar year 2000. The primary objectives of the program are to
    preserve and restore wetlands, improve wildlife habitat, and protect
    migratory waterfowl.

        The Secretary of Agriculture, through designated county offices,
    uses program funds to enter into contracts with landowners that operate
    farmed or converted wetlands, farmed wetlands, or prior converted
    wetlands and adjoining land or riparian corridors. The contracts are for
    both permanent and non-permanent easements.

        Under the 1992 program, 42,230 acres were enrolled in 9 pilot
    States. No funding was provided for operating a fiscal year 1993
    program.

    [[Page 189]]

        The 1994 program provided funding for enrolling 75,000 acres in 20
    States, including the nine pilot States. The 1995 program provided
    funding for enrolling 115,944 acres under multiple sign-ups to eleviate
    a back-log of 1994 easement opportunities. Tentatively, 141,437 acres
    have been accepted. The 1995 appropriation was amended by the Water Bank
    Extension Act of 1994 to provide $889,800 for expiring 1985 water bank
    agreements. Funds were transferred from the WRP account to the Water
    Bank Account as authorized under the Water Bank Extension Act of 1994.
    Under the 1996 program, $5 million of WRP funds will be transferred to
    the Fish and Wildlife Foundation under a interagency agreement of joint
    partnership. The Foundation will provide additional matching funds for
    the acquisition of wetland easements.

        The 1996 budget will provide funding for enrolling an estimated
    80,000 acres. The 1997 estimate funds enrollment of 226,214 acres of
    both permanent and non-permanent easements. The President's Budget
    recommends enrollment through 1997 of 539,000 acres with a remainder of
    435,612 acres through the year 2000. Beginning 1997, program
    participants will receive payments for wetlands easements, in a lump sum
    or annual installment payments for permanent easements, and annual
    installment payments under non-permanent easements. Compensation will be
    in cash as specified in the contract, but not to exceed the fair market
    value of the land. The program provides cost-share assistance to
    landowners for carrying out the establishment of conservation measures
    and practices. The program cost-shares 75 percent to 100 percent of
    eligible costs of an easement. The program also provides reimbursement
    to the landowner for overhead costs associated with acquiring an
    easement. Technical assistance will be funded within the account.

        This experimental Rural Clean Water Program, authorized by Public
    Law 96-108 and Public Law 96-528, was a cooperative endeavor among
    farmers, various USDA agencies, and other organizations to develop and
    test means of controlling agricultural nonpoint source water pollution
    in rural areas.

        Recommended project areas were developed by local and State
    committees and approved by the Secretary of Agriculture in consultation
    with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Full
    funding was provided in previous appropriations for all approved
    projects. The implementation period for all projects has ended, and no
    additional obligations will be incurred. Payment of prior year
    obligations is expected to continue through calendar year 1999. Similar
    activities will be carried out through the Agricultural Conservation
    Program.

        This grant program is authorized under section 306(a)(2) of the
    Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are
    authorized to be made to associations, including nonprofit corporations,
    public and quasi-public agencies, and certain Indian tribes to finance
    development, storage, treatment, purification, or distribution of water
    or the collection, treatment, or disposal of waste in rural areas. The
    amount of any development grant may not exceed 75 percent of the
    eligible development cost of the project.

        The major objectives of the rural water and waste disposal grant
    program are: (1) to provide assistance to attain basic human amenities;

    by meeting the need for new and improved rural water and waste disposal
    systems; and (4) to meet national safe drinking water and clean water
    standards.

        In FY 1997, funding for the Rural Water and Waste Disposal grant
    program is requested to be appropriated to the Rural Performance
    Partnership Program and transferred to this account for administration.

        The Rural Utilities Service conducts the rural electrification and
    the rural telecommunications loan programs. The rural electrification
    loan program is financed through RUS direct loans for the operation of
    generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or
    systems. The rural telecommunications loan program is financed through
    RUS direct loans for construction, expansion, acquisition, and operation
    of telecommunications lines and facilities or systems.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for rural electrification and telecommunications program, the
    subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in FY 1992 and
    beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that
    resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as
    administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are
    estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are
    estimated on a cash basis.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for the Rural Telephone Bank, all cash flows to and from the
    Government resulting from direct loans obligated prior to FY 1992. This
    account is shown on a cash basis. All new activity in this program in FY
    1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan
    guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year) is
    recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts.

        The Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) provides a supplemental source of
    financing for rural telephone borrowers. The Bank charges an interest
    rate based on the cost of money to the Bank, as prescribed by law, but
    not less than 5 percent per annum. The composite interest rate on
    cumulative loans through September 30, 1995, was 7.14 percent. The long-
    term interest rate on advances made during 1995 for loans approved after
    October 1, 1987, was 6.04 percent.

        Equity capital of the Bank consists of class A stock purchased by
    the United States of $592 million with a 2 percent dividend and classes
    B and C stock purchased by bank borrowers, organizations eligible to
    become borrowers and organizations controlled by borrowers. The Bank has
    borrowed $759 million from the Treasury. A total of $41,048,350, at
    interest rates ranging from 10.625 percent to 11.5 percent was repaid
    during the fiscal year. The outstanding balance of $464,937,505, is at
    interest rates of 7.25 percent to 10.625 percent. The $592 million
    purchase of capital stock has been financed through appropriations.

        Administrative support is provided for the general operations of the
    Bank by RUS employees and the Office of the General Counsel.

        Bank loans totaled $175 million in 1995. After almost 23 years in
    operation, loans to 627 borrowers have been approved, totaling over
    $3.178 billion.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in FY 1992 and beyond, as
    well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are
    estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are
    estimated on a cash basis.

        In 1994, this program account was administered by the Rural
    Development Administration. Under reorganization of the Department of
    Agriculture, the water and waste direct and guaranteed loan programs are
    administered through the Rural Utilities Service's Rural Water and Waste
    Disposal Loans Program Account; the community facility direct and
    guaranteed loan programs are administered through the Rural Housing
    Service's Rural Community Facility Loans Program Account; and the
    business and industry direct and guaranteed loan programs are
    administered through the Rural Business-Cooperative Service's Rural
    Business and Industry Loans Program Account.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this non-
    budgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Government
    resulting from direct loans obligated in FY 1992 and beyond. The amounts
    in this account are a means of financing and are not included in the
    budget totals.

        This account finances direct loans for water systems, waste disposal
    facilities, community facilities, and businesses and industries in rural
    areas. Communities unable to afford low interest loans for water and
    waste disposal facilities are also able to obtain RUS grants.

        In FY 1996, these loans were transferred to the Rural Water and
    Waste Disposal Direct Loans Financing Account in the Rural Utilities
    Service; the Rural Community Facility Direct Loans Financing Account in
    the Rural Housing Service; and the Rural Business and Industry Direct
    Loans Financing Account in the Rural Business-Cooperative Service.

        The Rural Development Insurance Fund (RDIF) was established on
    October 1, 1972, pursuant to section 116 of the Rural Development Act of
    1972 (Public Law 92-419).

        The fund is used to insure or guarantee loans for water systems and
    waste disposal facilities, community facilities, and industrial
    development in rural areas. Communities unable to afford low interest
    loans for water and waste disposal facilities are also able to obtain
    water and waste water disposal grants.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, all cash flows to and from the Government
    resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed
    prior to FY 1992. All new activity in this program is recorded in
    corresponding program accounts and financing accounts.

        In FY 1994, these loan programs were administered by the Rural
    Development Administration. Under reorganization of the Department of
    Agriculture, the water and waste direct and guaranteed loan programs are
    administered by the Rural Utilities Service, the community facility
    direct and guaranteed loan programs are adminsitered by the Rural
    Housing Service, and the business and industry direct and guaranteed
    loan programs are administered by the Rural Business-Cooperative
    Service.

        The Secretary's reorganization plan established the Rural Housing
    Service (RHS). This agency was formed from the Rural Housing section of
    Farmers Home Administration and the Community Facilities Division of the
    Rural Development Administration. RHS delivers rural housing and
    community facility programs through a system of State, area, and local
    offices. In FY 1997, a new Dedicated Loan Origination and Servicing
    System (DLOS) will be implemented to centralize and streamline the
    servicing activities of the agency. This innovation will significantly
    reduce the cost of operating the individual housing loan programs.

        The rental assistance program is authorized under section 521(a)(2)
    of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and is designed to reduce rents
    paid by very low-income and low-income families living in RHS-financed
    rural rental and farm labor housing projects. Funding under this account
    is provided for renewals of existing rental assistance contracts,
    assistance for newly constructed units financed by the section 515 rural
    rental and cooperative housing program or the 514/516 farm labor housing
    loan and grant programs, and for additional servicing assistance for
    existing projects. Assistance is also provided in lieu of debt
    forgiveness or payments for eligible households to subsidize tenant
    rents in projects purchased by eligible nonprofit organizations or
    public agencies as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Act.

        Rural housing insurance fund--This fund was established in 1965
    (Public Law 89-117) pursuant to section 517 of title V of the Housing
    Act of 1949, as amended.

        The major programs funded through the Rural housing insurance fund
    program account are: section 502 very low and low to moderate income
    homeownership loans and guarantees; section 504 very low-income housing
    repair loans; section 514 domestic farm labor housing loans; section 515
    rural rental housing loans; section 524 housing site loans, and credit
    sales of acquired property. The section 523 self-help housing land
    development loan program is included under this heading beginning with
    the FY 1997 budget. Previously, this loan program was accounted for
    under the separate heading of ``Self-Help Housing Land Development Fund
    Program Account.''

        Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include towns,
    villages, and other places which are not part of an urban area and that
    have a population not in excess of 2,500 inhabitants, or is in excess of
    2,500 but not in excess of 10,000 if rural in character, or has a
    population in excess of 10,000 but not more than 20,000 and is not
    within a standard metropolitan statistical area and has a serious lack
    of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers.

        In FY 1997, funding for the new construction portion of the Rural
    Rental Housing Loan Program is requested to be appropriated to the Rural
    Performance Partnership Program and transferred to this account for
    administration. Funding for salaries and expenses associated with the
    new construction portion of this program is requested to be appropriated
    to the Rural Housing Service salaries and expenses account.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in FY 1992 and beyond
    (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative
    expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
    value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

        Proposed legislation to amend the Housing Act of 1949 would provide
    additional direct loans for the section 515 rural rental housing loan
    program as a result of a balloon payment in year 30, lowering the cost
    of the program. A new section 502 guaranteed rural housing loan program
    is also proposed for refinancing of direct single family home loans to
    facilitate the graduation of direct loan borrowers into the private
    sector. These loans will be provided only to borrowers who are not
    eligible for conventional private sector financing without the federal
    guarantee.

        The FY 1997 Budget reproposes a new, more flexible program for
    distributing USDA's rural development assistance. The new program,
    called the Rural Performance Partnership Program (RPPP), combines
    fourteen existing rural development programs into three funding streams;
    one each for rural utilities, rural community facility infrastructure,
    and rural businesses. Programs included in the RPPP include rural water
    and wastewater grants, loans and loan guarantees, loans and loan
    guarantees for essential community facilities, loans for new
    construction of rural rental housing and the corresponding rental
    assistance, and grants, loans and loan guarantees for the creation and
    expansion of rural businesses. The RPPP was initially proposed in the FY
    1996 Budget and Congress enacted a limited version of the proposal that
    included the rural utilities programs.

        USDA's Rural Economic and Community Development State Directors
    would have authority to transfer up to 25 percent of the funding between
    the three funding streams, although at the National level total
    transfers between funds would not exceed 10 percent. The State Directors
    would work with State and local governments, other community-based
    organizations, and the State Rural Development Councils--whose members
    include State, local, and Tribal governments, and private sector
    representatives--to direct funds to each State's highest rural economic
    development priorities. Performance measures and incentives are included
    in the RPPP proposal.

        For FY 1997, the funding for the RPPP is requested to be
    appropriated to this account and then transferred to each program's
    specific account for administration.

        Grants for rural technology were authorized under section 310B(f) of
    the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act. These grants will be
    made available to public bodies and nonprofit organizations to fund the
    establishment and operation of centers for rural technology or
    cooperative development with their primary purpose being the improvement
    of economic conditions in rural areas. Grants may be used to promote the
    development and commercialization of new services and products that can
    be produced or provided in rural areas; new processes that can be
    utilized in the production of products in rural areas; and new
    enterprises that add value to on-farm production through processing or
    marketing. RBS can fund up to 75 percent of any project and associated
    administrative costs and requires at least a 25 percent matching share
    from the applicant which must be from non-Federal sources.

        In FY 1997, the funding for the Rural Technology and Cooperative
    Development grants is requested to be appropriated to the Rural
    Performance Partnership Program and transferred to this account for
    administration. The amount for Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural
    Areas (ATTRA) program was first authorized by the Food Security Act of
    1985. The program encourages agricultural producers to adopt sustainable
    agricultural practices.

    entities, or individuals for the purpose of improving the economic
    climate in rural areas.

    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond, as

    estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are
    estimated on a cash basis.

        In FY 1997, funding for the Direct and Guaranteed Business and
    Industry loan programs is requested to be appropriated to the Rural
    Performance Partnership Program and transferred to this account for
    administration. Funding for salaries and expenses associated with this
    program is requested to be appropriated to the Rural Business-
    Cooperative Service salaries and expenses account.

        This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who in turn
    relend the funds to small rural businesses, community development
    corporations, and other organizations for the purpose of improving
    economic opportunities in rural areas.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative expenses
    of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value
    basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

        In FY 1997, funding for the Intermediary Relending program is
    requested to be appropriated to the Rural Performance Partnership
    Program and transferred to this account for administration. Funding for
    salaries and expenses associated with this program is requested to be
    appropriated to the Rural Business-Cooperative Service salaries and
    expenses account.

        \1\ Amounts shown include advances on behalf of borrowers.

        Loans from the Rural Development Loan Fund are made to intermediary
    borrowers (i.e., small investment groups), who in turn relend the funds
    to small rural businesses, community development corporations, or other
    organizations for the purpose of improving economic opportunities in
    rural areas. Through the use of local intermediaries, this program is
    able to serve small-scale enterprises and give preference to those
    communities with the greatest need.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, all cash flows to and from the Government
    resulting from direct loans obligated prior to 1992. New loan activity
    in 1992 and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing
    accounts.

        Funds support programs authorized by the Alternative Agricultural
    Research and Commercialization Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 5901 et seq.). This
    Act authorizes the provision of assistance on a competitive basis to
    foster the development and commercialization of new nonfood, nonfeed
    products derived from agricultural and forestry material and animal by-
    products. Development of nontraditional uses provides an opportunity to
    improve U.S. competitiveness in foreign markets, create development and
    employment opportunities in rural areas, address environmental concerns
    and lower farm program costs. Programs are managed by the Alternative
    Agricultural Research and Commercialization Center. Program policy and
    oversight is provided by a nine member Board, eight of whom are private
    sector scientists, producers and business experts.

        The Foreign Agricultural Service mission is to help American farmers
    and traders take maximum advantage of increased opportunities to sell
    U.S. agricultural commodities abroad and to help increase U.S. farm
    income.

        Activities are conducted within four program areas:

        Foreign agricultural affairs.--The Service maintains agricultural
    counselors or attaches at 63 foreign posts to assist overseas
    development of markets for U.S. farm commodities. They work closely with
    numerous U.S. agricultural trade groups and maintain significant
    contacts with foreign governments and traders to promote market access
    for U.S. farm products. They also file annually about 5,000
    comprehensive reports regarding foreign agricultural production, supply,
    demand, marketing, and trade policy developments to keep U.S.
    agriculture, industry, and Government currently informed.

        Foreign market information and access.--Under this broad program
    heading, the Service initiates, directs, and coordinates the
    Department's formulation of trade policies and programs with the goal of
    maintaining and expanding world markets for U.S. agricultural products.
    The Service is responsible for the development and maintenance of the
    USDA statistical data base encompassing foreign production estimates,
    trade data, export forecasts, economic indicators, price data and export
    sales reporting. These data are collected, analyzed, and disseminated to
    U.S. farm and trade groups providing ready access to reliable
    information to assess short-term changes in world agricultural supply
    and demand conditions by commodity.

        The analyses of world commodity conditions provide the information
    necessary to develop export marketing strategies that can be used by the
    Department not only to gain market access but to enhance the long term
    market development plans for major U.S. commodities.

        Foreign market development.--This program provides funding support
    to over 40 commodity associations (cooperators), 4 regional groups
    (representing 47 State departments of agriculture) and the National
    Association of State Departments of Agriculture. Under FAS guidance and
    supervision, these organizations conduct an extensive worldwide market
    development program on behalf of the U.S. farm sector. Beginning in
    1997, these funds will only be made available after a competitive
    allocation process. In addition, the Service maintains 12 agricultural
    trade offices located in key markets around the world. Working closely
    with cooperators, through these offices, the Service develops and
    operates a worldwide system of multicommodity promotional programs
    utilizing product exhibits, trade teams, trade services, market
    information programs, and trade referral services to expand overseas
    markets. Beginning in 1997, cooperators that maintain facilities in FAS
    agricultural trade offices will pay a contribution towards rent and
    other expenses.

        International Cooperation and Development.--This activity promotes
    U.S. agriculture and the advancement of agriculture in developing
    countries through a number of complementary programs. Direct program
    activities include the administration of the Cochran Fellowship Program
    which provides food industry training to senior and mid-level
    professionals from the public and private sectors of selected middle-
    income countries and emerging democracies, and management of USDA's
    bilateral exchange and cooperative research programs with foreign
    governments and institutions.

        At the request of the Agency for International Development,
    international organizations and foreign governments, technical
    assistance and training in agriculture and rural development is provided
    on a reimbursable or advance of funds basis. Programs are ongoing in
    over 80 countries focused on such activities as land and water
    management, pest control, crop and livestock production and
    conservation.

        The General Sales Manager was established pursuant to section 5(f)
    of the Charter Act of the Commodity Credit Corporation and 15 U.S.C.
    714-714p. The funds allocated are used for conducting the following
    programs: (1) CCC Export Credit Guarantee Program (GSM-102), (2)
    Intermediate Credit Guarantee Program (GSM-103), (3) Export Enhancement
    Program, (4) Market Promotion Program, (5) Public Law 480, (6) Section
    416 Overseas Donations, (7) Food for Progress, (8) Dairy Export
    Incentive Program, (9) Sunflowerseed Oil Assistance Program, (10)
    Cottonseed Oil Assistance Program, and (11) programs authorized by the
    Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act including barter, export sales
    of CCC-owned commodities, export payments and other programs as assigned
    to encourage or cause the export of U.S. agricultural commodities. The
    General Sales Manager is partially funded through funds made available
    from the CCC Export Guarantee Program Account and P.L. 480 Program
    Account.

    Act of 1954 (Public Law 480), as amended, USDA uses foreign currencies
    to support research on problems of mutual interest to the United States
    and participating foreign countries. After 1991 no new foreign currency

    under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954,
    Public Law 480, 83rd Congress, as amended (P.L. 480): Financing sales of
    agricultural commodities to developing countries for dollars on credit
    terms, or for local currencies (including for local currencies on credit
    terms) for use under sec. 104 (title I); for dispositions abroad (titles
    II and III); and for furnishing commodities to carry out The Food for
    Progress Act of 1985, as amended. Agreements may provide for commodities
    to be made available on a multi-year basis.

        As part of a comprehensive package of U.S. assistance for Russia
    announced by the President in April 1993, $385,000,000 was transferred
    from CCC to Food for Progress under provisions of the Secretary of
    Agriculture's Interchange Authority (7 U.S.C. 2257) for commodity and
    related transportation assistance.

        Sales under the credit portion of the Food for Progress program for
    Russia carry a term of fifteen years, including a seven-year grace
    period. The interest rates are three percent during the grace period and
    four percent thereafter. Funding for commodity and ocean freight
    financing is under P.L. 480 Title I FFP and is subject to credit reform
    budgeting. All shipments were completed in 1995.

        Financing sales of agricultural commodities to developing countries
    for dollars on credit terms, or for local currencies (including for
    local currencies on credit terms) for use under sec. 104; and for
    furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of 1985,
    as amended (title I).--Funds appropriated for P.L. 480 are used to
    finance all sales made pursuant to agreements concluded under the
    authority of Title I. The Corporation may serve as the purchasing or
    shipping agent, or both, for the importing country or may award
    contracts for freight agent services on behalf of the Corporation to
    handle shipping of commodities under P.L. 480.

        Sales are made to developing countries as defined in section 402(4)
    of P.L. 480 and must not displace expected commercial sales (secs.
    403(e) and (h)). Agreements are made with developing countries for
    delivery in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

        When U.S.-flag vessels are required to ship commodities under this
    title, the Corporation will pay the difference between U.S.-flag rates
    and foreign-flag rates. In limited cases, full transportation costs to
    port-of-entry or point-of-entry abroad may be included along with the
    cost of the commodity in the amount financed by CCC in order to ensure
    that U.S. food aid can reach the most needy recipients.

        Financing sales of agricultural commodities for dollars on credit
    terms (title I).--Payment by recipient countries may be made over a
    period of not less than 10 nor more than 30 years with a deferral of
    principal payments for up to 7 years. Interest accrues at a concessional
    rate as determined appropriate.

        Section 411 of P.L. 480 authorizes the President to waive payments
    of principal and interest under dollar credit sales agreements for
    countries that meet certain enumerated requirements. Such debt relief
    may be provided only if the President notifies Congress and may not
    exceed the amount approved for such purpose in an Act appropriating
    funds to carry out P.L. 480.

        Financing sales of agricultural commodities for local currency,
    including for local currency on credit terms.--Payment by a recipient
    country may be made in local currencies for use in carrying out
    activities under section 104 of P.L. 480.

        Foreign currency received in payment for credit extended may be used
    for payment of U.S. obligations abroad, subject to the appropriation
    process. The P.L. 480 program is reimbursed for the dollar value of
    currencies so used.

        The financing of sales of agricultural commodities for local
    currencies on credit terms is subject to the same terms that are
    applicable to dollar credit financing.

        Furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of
    1985, as amended (title I).--Funds appropriated to carry out title I may
    be used to furnish commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of
    1985. Such commodities may be furnished on credit terms or on a grant
    basis in order to assist developing countries and countries that are
    emerging democracies that have made a commitment to introduce and expand
    free enterprise elements in their agricultural economies.

        Total title I agreements made since inception of the program to
    September 30, 1995 amount to $21,131.9 million cost value, including
    ocean freight for shipments on U.S. flag-ships. Major commodities are
    wheat, cotton, oils, rice, and feed grains. Payments received during the
    period amount to $8,415.4 million, of which $4,742 million was applied
    to principal and $3,673.4 million to interest. The following table
    reflects the composition of the combined appropriations (in millions of
    dollars):

        Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad (title
    II).--Under title II, agricultural commodities are furnished to meet
    famine or other emergency relief needs, combat malnutrition, carry out
    activities to alleviate the causes of hunger, mortality and morbidity,
    promote economic and community development, promote sound environmental

    [[Page 238]]
    practices, and carry out feeding programs. Agricultural commodities are
    provided through governments for emergencies only, and for non-
    emergencies through public and private agencies, including
    intergovernmental organizations.

        The Corporation is authorized to pay the costs of acquisition,
    packaging, processing, enrichment, preservation, fortification,
    transportation, handling, and other incidental costs incurred up to the
    time of delivery at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight
    charges, and pays transportation costs to points of entry other than
    ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific
    country are not available, where ports cannot be used effectively, or
    where a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and pays
    general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition,
    transportation costs from designated points of entry or ports of entry
    abroad to storage and distribution sites and associated storage and
    distribution costs may be paid for commodities made available to meet
    urgent and extraordinary relief requirements.

        Through September 30, 1995, appropriations totaling $26,689 million
    were authorized. Any incidental sales proceeds and proceeds from loss,
    damage, and other claims are applied against costs to reflect a
    reduction in appropriation requests. The following table reflects the
    composition of the appropriations (in thousands of dollars):

        Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad (title
    III).--Under title III, agricultural commodities are furnished to least
    developed countries as defined in section 302(a). They are provided
    through foreign governments for direct feeding, development of emergency
    food reserves or may be sold with the proceeds of such sale used by the
    recipient country for specific economic development purposes.

        The Food Stamp Program is the primary source of nutrition assistance
    for low-income Americans.

        Some of these funds provide a grant to Puerto Rico in lieu of the
    food stamp program which gives the Commonwealth flexibility to continue
    a food assistance program tailored to the needs of its low income
    households.

        For information on the President's legislative proposals to reform
    the Food Stamp Program, please refer to the Welfare Reform Chapter in
    the 1997 budget for a discussion of these policies.

        Facilities.--Provides for reconstruction, rehabilitation, upgrade,
    construction, and acquisition of facilities necessary to: safely meet
    recreation demand while protecting environmental values and other
    resource uses of the National Forests; carry out National Forest and
    State and private forestry programs, including fire lookouts, offices,
    dwellings and barracks for employee housing, service, and storage
    buildings, tree nursery buildings, dams, and other forest resource
    management projects; manage research laboratories and related
    facilities, and for procurement and installation of necessary initial
    equipment needed to put the facility into operating condition.

        Roads and trails.--Roads and trails are essential to the protection
    and management of the National Forest System, as well as providing
    access to National Forest System areas for recreation and utilization of
    their resources. Of the revenues received annually from National Forest
    activities, 10 percent is transferred to the General Fund of the
    Treasury with a comparable amount appropriated to this account for road
    and trail reconstruction and construction activities. Roads may be
    constructed and/or reconstructed by a timber purchaser who in turn
    receives credit against timber value as a reimbursement. These roads are
    those required within a timber sale area specifically for the removal of
    the timber, but which will remain on the National Forest development
    road system for resource management purposes after the timber sale
    contract is completed. (16 U.S.C. 535, 1608)

        The mission of Forest and Rangeland Research is to serve society by
    developing and communicating the scientific information and technology
    needed to protect, manage, use, and sustain the natural resources of the
    Nation's 1.6 billion acres of forests and rangelands. This information
    is essential for formulating policy and wisely managing and conserving
    both public and private forests and rangelands. Research is the key to
    sustaining our forest and rangeland productivity and health while
    providing a quality environment. Forest and Rangeland Research is
    conducted and disseminated through seven Forest and Range Experiment
    Station headquarters and their laboratories, the Forest Products
    Laboratory, and the International Institute of Tropical Forestry.

        This appropriation provided for both the direct expenses required to
    suppress wildfires on or threatening NFS lands or other lands under fire
    protection agreement and the emergency rehabilitation of burned-over NFS
    lands. It was used to increase the level of fire presuppression
    capability and preparedness when predicted or actual burning conditions
    exceed those normally expected.

        Funding for this program is discontinued in this account in FY 1997
    and has been moved to the new Wildland Fire Management account.

        This appropriation consolidates three land acquisition authorities
    for acquisition of lands, waters, or interest therein, as authorized by
    law.

        Land and water conservation fund.--Recreation lands and interests
    are acquired within areas of the National Forest System, wilderness,
    wildlife and fisheries habitat management areas, and endangered species
    and other areas for public outdoor recreation purposes.

        Acquisition of lands for national forests (Special Acts).--On the
    basis of various public laws and agreements with certain counties in
    Utah, Nevada and California, National Forest receipts, including the
    portions which would normally be paid to the State to benefit county
    roads and schools, are used by the Federal Government for purchase of
    privately owned lands within the National Forest boundaries to aid in
    the control of soil erosion and flood damage.

        Acquisition of lands to complete land exchanges.--This is a special
    account for deposits made by State, county, or municipal governments,
    public school districts or other public school authorities for cash
    equalization of certain land exchanges. When appropriated, the funds are
    used to acquire similar lands suitable for National Forest System
    purposes in the same State as the National Forest lands conveyed in the
    land exchange.

        The Working Capital Fund is a self-sustaining revolving fund that
    provides services to National Forests, to research experiment stations,
    to other Federal agencies when necessary, to State and private agencies
    as provided by law, and to persons who cooperate with the Forest Service
    in fire control and other authorized programs.

        The forestry related supply and support services include:

        Equipment Services.--The fund owns, operates, maintains, replaces,
    and repairs common use motor driven and similar equipment. This
    equipment is rented to administrative units, that is, National Forests,
    research experiment stations, and other units, and, in some cases, to
    other agencies, at rates which recover the cost of operation, repair and
    maintenance, management, and depreciation. The rates also include an
    increment which provides additional cash which, when added to
    depreciation earnings and the residual value of equipment, provides
    sufficient funds to replace the equipment.

        Aircraft Services.--The fund operates, maintains, and repairs Forest
    Service owned aircraft used in fire surveillance and suppression and in
    other Forest Service programs. The aircraft are rented to National
    Forests, research experiment stations, and in some cases to other
    agencies, at rates which recover the cost of depreciation, operation,
    maintenance, repair, and improvements in the airworthiness of the
    aircraft. Aircraft replacement costs are financed from either
    appropriated funds or the Forest Service Working Capital Fund, or a
    combination of both.

        Supply Services.--The fund operates the following common services:

        Photo reproduction laboratories that store, reproduce, and supply
    aerial photographs, aerial maps, and other photographs of National
    Forest lands. The photographic reproductions are sold to National
    Forests, experiment stations, and others at cost.

        Sign shops that manufacture and supply special signs for the
    National Forests for use in regulating traffic and as information to the
    public and other users of the National Forests. The signs are sold to
    National Forests and experiment stations at cost.

        Subsistence services that prepare and serve meals to Forest Service
    crews working in areas where adequate public restaurant facilities are
    not available.

        Seed supply services that provide tree seed for direct seeding or
    sowing in nurseries for the production of trees. Includes purchase or
    collection of cones, extraction of seeds, cleaning

    [[Page 255]]
    and testing, and storage and delivery. Operates in conjunction with tree
    nurseries; i.e., forest tree nurseries and cold storage facilities for
    storage of tree seedlings. Tree seedlings are sold to National Forests,
    State foresters, and other cooperators at cost.
