    independent Office of Compliance to apply the rights and protections of
    the following eleven labor and employment statutes to covered employees
    within the legislative branch: the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938,
    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with
    Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
    1967, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Occupational Safety
    and Health Act of 1970, chapter 71 of title 5 of the U.S. Code (relating

        The Congressional Office of Technology Assessment was created by
    Public Law 92-484 to equip Congress with new and effective means for
    securing competent, unbiased information concerning the physical,
    biological, economic, social, and political effects of technological
    applications; and to serve as an aid in the legislative assessment of
    matters pending before Congress, particularly in those instances where
    the Federal Government may be called upon to consider support for, or
    management or regulation of, technological applications. Also included
    in this presentation are contributions and donations, which are used in
    furtherance of the general purposes of the Technology Assessment Act of
    1972 (Public Law 92-484; 2 U.S.C. 475(a)(5)).

        The Office of Technology Assessment is not funded beyond February
    1996.

    Technology Assessment for 183 days preceding termination of employment
    who are terminated as a result of the elimination of the Office and who
    are not otherwise gainfully employed may continue to be paid by the
    Office of Technology Assessment at their respective salaries for a
    period not to exceed 60 calendar days following the employee's date of
    termination or until the employee becomes otherwise gainfully employed
    whichever is earlier. Any day for which a former employee receives a
    payment under this section shall be counted as Federal service for
    purposes of determining entitlement to benefits, including retirement,
    annual and sick leave earnings, and health and life insurance. A
    statement in writing to the Director of the Office of Technology
    Assessment or his designee by any such employee that he was not
    gainfully employed during such period or the portion thereof for which
    payment is claimed shall be accepted as prima facie evidence that he was
    not so employed.]

    and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended, or any other
    provision of law, upon the abolition of the Office of Technology
    Assessment, all records and property of the Office (including the Unix

        The Judiciary Office Building Development Act, Public Law 100-480,
    among other purposes, authorizes the Architect of the Capitol to
    contract for the design and construction of a building adjacent to Union
    Station in the District of Columbia to be leased to the Judicial Branch
    of the United States. This schedule reflects the costs associated with
    the construction of the building. Costs of construction were financed by
    an initial $125 million of Federal agency debt (sales price less
    unamortized discount) issued in 1989.

        Estimates prepared by the Legislative Branch assumed the financial
    arrangements to be a lease-purchase, which would distribute outlays
    associated with acquisition of the building over a period of thirty
    years. However, the arrangements involve federally guaranteed financing
    and other characteristics that make them substantively the same as
    direct federal construction, financed by direct federal borrowing.
    Because estimated expenditures of the Legislative Branch are required to
    be included in the budget as submitted and without

    [[Page 26]]
    change, this separate schedule is included as an adjustment to reflect
    direct construction costs and associated interest costs, consistent with
    standard budget concepts and scoring conventions.

        Estimates shown are consistent with the requirements of the Budget
    Enforcement Act and are presented with the agreement of the Budget and
    Appropriations Committees.

        The Office of the Superintendent of Documents operates under a
    separate appropriation, which provides funds for: (1) the mailing for
    Members of Congress and other Government agencies of certain Government
    publications, as authorized by law; (2) the distribution of Government
    publications to designated depository libraries, including cost-
    effective methods of electronic dissemination to depository libraries
    such as CD-ROMS, and on-demand delivery of full text or image files; (3)
    the compilation of catalogs and indexes of Government publications; and
    (4) the distribution of Government publications in the International
    Exchange Program. These four functions are related to the publication
    activity of other agencies and to the demands of the public, Members of
    Congress, and depository libraries. Consequently, the Office of the
    Superintendent of Documents can exercise little control over the volume
    of work which it may be called upon to perform. A description of these
    four functions follows:

        Distribution for other Government agencies and Members of
    Congress.--The Office of Superintendent of Documents maintains mailing
    lists and mails, at the request of Government agencies and Members of
    Congress, certain publications specified by public law.

        Depository library distribution.--As required, Government
    publications are supplied to libraries which are designated as
    depositories for Government publications. This includes cost-effective
    methods of electronic dissemination to depository libraries such as CD-
    ROMS, and on-demand delivery of full text or image files.

        Cataloging and indexing.--The Office of Superintendent of Documents
    is charged with preparing catalogs and indexes of all publications
    issued by the Federal Government. The principal publication is the
    ``Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications.''

        International exchange.--The Office of Superintendent of Documents
    distributes Government publications to foreign governments which agree,
    as indicated by the Library of Congress, to send to the United States
    similar publications of their governments for delivery to the Library of
    Congress.

                            ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION

        [Sec. 210. The fiscal year 1997 budget submission of the Public
    Printer to the Congress for the Government Printing Office shall include
    appropriations requests and recommendations to the Congress that--
            (1) are consistent with the strategic plan included in the
        technological study performed by the Public Printer pursuant to
        Senate Report 104-114;
            (2) assure substantial progress toward maximum use of electronic
        information dissemination technologies by all departments, agencies,
        and other entities of the Government with respect to the Depository
        Library Program and information dissemination generally; and
            (3) are formulated so as to require that any department, agency,
        or other entity of the Government that does not make such progress
        shall bear from its own resources the cost of its information
        dissemination by other than electronic means.]
        Sec. 208. Chapter 19 of title 44, United States Code, is amended by
    adding the following:
            ``Sec. 1917. Components of the Government publishing information
        dissemination products falling under the purview of section 1902 of
        this Chapter shall provide the Superintendent of Documents with
        electronic source data files of those products at the time of
        publication.
            ``Sec. 1918. Publishing components shall notify the
        Superintendent of Documents at such time as they initiate,
        substantially modify, or terminate an electronic information
        dissemination product or service.
            ``Sec. 1919. Publishing components shall notify the
        Superintendent of Documents of their intent to initiate an
        electronic information dissemination product or service. Those
        components shall further authorize the Superintendent of Documents
        to either obtain, on an incremental cost basis, copies of such
        products which are produced or procured elsewhere than through the
        Government Printing Office; or, establish an agreement with the
        Superintendent of Documents whereby the Superintendent of Documents
        will reimburse the publishing component the incremental costs
        associated with depository library usage of the information service.
            ``Sec. 1920. The Public Printer will issue guidelines for
        components of the Government to implement sections 1917, 1918, and
        1919 of this chapter. Components that fail to comply with these

    [[Page 36]]
        guidelines and sections 1917, 1918, and 1919 of this chapter shall
        bear the full cost of producing copies of products necessary for
        depository libraries as may be required pursuant to the provisions
        of this chapter and will provide such copies to the Superintendent
        of Documents for distribution.
            ``Sec. 1921. Definitions. As used in this chapter--
                (1) The term `publishing component' means an agency of the
            Federal Government which makes its information dissemination

                           [Administrative Provisions]

        [Sec. 211. (a) Effective June 30, 1996, the functions of the
    Comptroller General identified in subsection (b) are transferred to the
    Director of the Office of Management and Budget, contingent upon the
    additional transfer to the Office of Management and Budget of such
    personnel, budget authority, records, and property of the General
    Accounting Office relating to such functions as the Comptroller General
    and the Director jointly determine to be necessary. The Director may
    delegate any such function, in whole or in part, to any other agency or
    agencies if the Director determines that such delegation would be cost-
    effective or otherwise in the public interest, and may transfer to such
    agency or agencies any personnel, budget authority, records, and
    property received by the Director pursuant to the preceding sentence
    that relate to the delegated functions. Personnel transferred pursuant
    to this provision shall not be separated or reduced in classification or
    compensation for one year after any such transfer, except for cause.
        (b) The following provisions of the United States Code contain the
    functions to be transferred pursuant to subsection (a): sections 5564
    and 5583 of title 5; sections 2312, 2575, 2733, 2734, 2771, 4712, and
    9712 of title 10; sections 1626 and 4195 of title 22; section 420 of
    title 24; sections 2414 and 2517 of title 28; sections 1304, 3702, 3726,
    and 3728 of title 31; sections 714 and 715 of title 32; section 554 of
    title 37; section 5122 of title 38; and section 256a of title 41.]
        [Sec. 212. (a) Section 732 of title 31, United States Code, is
    amended by adding a new subsection (h) as follows:
        ``(h) Notwithstanding the provisions of subchapter I of chapter 35
    of title 5, United States Code, the Comptroller General shall prescribe
    regulations for the release of officers and employees of the General
    Accounting Office in a reduction in force which give due effect to
    tenure of employment, military preference, performance and/or
    contributions to the agency's goals and objectives, and length of
    service. The regulations shall, to the extent deemed feasible by the
    Comptroller General, be designed to minimize disruption to the Office
    and to assist in promoting the efficiency of the Office.''.]
        [Sec. 213. Section 753 of title 31, United States Code, is amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsections (b), (c), and (d) as (c), (d),
        and (e), respectively;
            (2) by inserting after subsection (a) a new subsection (b) as
        follows:
        ``(b) The Board has no authority to issue a stay of any reduction in
    force action.''; and
            (3) in the second sentence of subsection (c), as redesignated,
        by striking ``(c)'' and inserting ``(d)''.] (Legislative Branch

        The bulk of the Court's work is the trial and adjudication of
    controversies involving deficiencies in income, estate, and gift taxes.
    The Court also has jurisdiction to redetermine deficiencies in certain
    excise taxes; to issue declaratory judgments

    [[Page 38]]
    in the areas of qualification of retirement plans, exemption of
    charitable organizations and the status of certain governmental
    obligations; and to decide certain cases involving disclosure of tax
    information by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

        Additional jurisdiction was conferred on the Court by the Taxpayer
    Bill of Rights in 1988. The Court is authorized to hear and decide
    appeals by taxpayers from decisions by the Internal Revenue Service
    denying awards for reasonable administrative costs incurred in
    connection with administrative proceedings within the Internal Revenue
    Service. In addition, if a timely petition for the redetermination of a
    deficiency is pending before the Court, the Court is authorized to
    restrain the premature assessment and collection of the disputed tax, to
    review certain jeopardy assessments and jeopardy levies, and to review
    the Commissioner's determination that certain seized property may be
    sold notwithstanding the pendency of the deficiency action. Finally, the
    Court is authorized to enforce its decisions determining overpayments in
    taxpayers' favor, to resolve disputes involving interest on deficiencies
    which were previously the subject of disputes before the Court, and to
    modify decisions in estate tax cases involving certain payment
    extensions.

        For 1997, the Court proposes a trial program of 340 weeks consisting
    of 150 weeks of regular trial sessions and 90 weeks of small tax case
    sessions. In addition, the Court proposes scheduling special sessions
    for lengthy trials consisting of approximately 100 weeks. Trials are
    held in approximately 80 cities throughout the United States.

        Statistics on the actual and estimated number of cases before the
    court are presented in the following tabulation:

        This presentation includes the ``Tax Court independent counsel''
    fund. This fund is established pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 7475. The fund is
    used by the Tax Court to employ independent counsel to pursue
    disciplinary matters involving practitioners admitted to practice before
    the Court.

        This fund, established pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 7448, is used to pay
    survivorship benefits to eligible surviving spouses and dependent
    children of deceased judges of the U.S. Tax Court. Participating judges
    pay 3.5 percent of their salaries or retired pay into the fund to cover
    creditable service for which payment is required. Additional funds, as
    are needed, are provided through the annual appropriation to the U.S.
    Tax Court.

        On September 30, 1995, 25 judges of the court were participating in
    the fund, and 1 eligible dependent and 6 eligible widows were receiving
    survivorship annuity payments.

    monitoring the effectiveness of the Medicare Fee Schedule, the supply
    and specialty distribution of physicians and financing of graduate
    medical education; access to and quality of health care, medical
    malpractice reform, and other related issues.

        This presentation includes a number of accounts that had previously
    been displayed separately including the following: Oliver Wendell Holmes
    Devise Fund; Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe;
    Competitiveness Policy Council; International Conferences and
    Contingencies; Copyright Royalty Tribunal; National Commission on
    Manufactured Housing; Commission on Immigration Reform; National
    Commission to Prevent Infant Mortality; National Commission on Children;
    and Gifts and donations, National Commission on Children.

        Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise Fund.--The Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise
    Fund and the permanent committee for the Oliver Wendell Holmes devise to
    administer it were created by an act of Congress, approved August 5,
    1955 (69 Stat. 533).

        The current program is devoted primarily to the preparation of a
    History of the Supreme Court of the United States, of which the first
    two volumes were published by the Macmillan Co. in 1972. The third,
    fourth and fifth volumes were published in August 1974, September 1981,
    and August 1985, respectively. The sixth and seventh volumes were
    published in 1988. The eighth volume was published in 1993. Additional
    volumes are nearing completion.

        Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.--The Commission on
    Security and Cooperation in Europe is authorized and directed to monitor
    the acts of the signatories which reflect compliance with or violation
    of the articles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and
    Cooperation in Europe, with particular regard to the provisions relating
    to Cooperation in Humanitarian Fields. The law establishing the
    Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe also mandated it to
    monitor and encourage U.S. Government and private activities designed to
    expand East-West trade and the exchange of people and ideas. The
    Commission will receive semiannual reports from the President on the
    signatories' compliance with the Final Act and on U.S. activities in
    trade and cultural/humanitarian exchange and it will itself make
    advisory reports to the Congress on the progress of implementation.

        The Commission is made up of nine Senators, nine Members of the
    House of Representatives and one Commissioner each from the Departments
    of State, Defense, and Commerce.

        Competitiveness Policy Council.--The Competitiveness Policy Council
    was established by Public Law 100-418, sections 5201-5210, as amended by
    Public Law 101-382, section 133. It is a bipartisan commission with
    members appointed by the joint leadership of the House of
    Representatives, the joint leadership of the Senate, and the President.

        The Council has twelve members, drawn from business, labor,
    academia, government and public interest activities. The President
    appoints a cabinet level official as the Executive branch
    representative. The Council's objectives are:

        (1) to be a national forum for identifying challenges to U.S. living
    standards;

        (2) to analyze information and develop recommendations for long-
    range national strategies intended to enhance the productivity and
    international competitiveness of the U.S. economy;

        (3) to monitor changes in saving and investment, government
    regulation, education, trade and technology and evaluate Federal, State
    and local policies with respect to their impact on U.S. competitiveness;

        (4) to establish subcouncils to develop long range strategies on
    specific competitiveness issues;

        (5) to make reports to the President and the Congress on issues
    relating to U.S. competitiveness and standards of living.

        The Council requested substantially less funds for 1996 due to cost
    cutting measures taken in 1994 and 1995.

        International Conferences and Contingencies.--The International
    Conferences and Contingencies account provides funds to cover the
    expenses of House and Senate participants in international meetings.

        Copyright Royalty Tribunal.--Under Public Law 94-553, the general
    revision of the copyright law, an independent Copyright Royalty Tribunal
    was created in the Legislative Branch. The Tribunal is composed of three
    commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent of
    the Senate for staggered terms of 7 years each.

        The Tribunal's statutory responsibilities are: (a) to make
    determinations concerning copyright royalty rates (1) in the area of
    cable television (17 U.S.C. 111), (2) for phonorecords (17 U.S.C. 115),
    (3) for coin-operated phonorecord players (jukeboxes) (17 U.S.C. 116),
    (4) for non-commercial broadcasting (17 U.S.C. 118), and (5) for digital
    audio devices (17 U.S.C. 1004); and (b) to distribute cable television,
    satellite carrier, jukebox, and digital audio devices and media
    royalties deposited with the Register of Copyrights (17 U.S.C. 111, 116,
    119, 1005, and 1007).

        Public Law 103-198 abolished the Copyright Royalty Tribunal and
    created a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel System administered by the
    Library of Congress Copyright Office.

        National Commission on Manufactured Housing.--The National
    Commission on Manufactured Housing was established by Public Law 101-
    625, section 943. The 16-member commission submitted its final report in
    August, 1994 and terminated in September, 1994.

    [[Page 41]]

        Commission on Immigration Reform.--The Commission on Immigration
    Reform was established under Section 141 of the Immigration Act of 1990.
    The mandate of the Commission is to review and evaluate the
    implementation and impact of the U.S. immigration policy and to transmit
    to the Congress not later than September 30, 1997, a final report of its
    findings and recommendations for additional changes that should be made
    with respect to legal immigration into the United States. The commission
