they may pursue claims under the laws applied by the CAA. The Office is
headed by a five-member Board of Directors, who are appointed jointly by
the House and Senate majority and minority leadership.

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.

``(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),

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:

1995 actual 1996 est. 1997 est.
Pending, beginning year............. 30,424 29,678 34,678

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
submitted its second interim report in September 1995. The Commission
expires January 1998.

National Commission to Prevent Infant Mortality.--The National
Commission to Prevent Infant Mortality terminated its activities in
1994.
