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

                       [administrative provisions]

    [Sec. 113. Upon enactment of this Act all employees of the Office of 
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.]
    [Sec. 114. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Federal Property 
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 
system, all computer hardware and software, all library collections and 
research materials, and all photocopying equipment), shall be under the 
administrative control of the Architect of the Capitol. Not later than 
December 31, 1995, the Architect shall submit a proposal to transfer 
such records and property to appropriate support agencies of the 
Legislative Branch which request such transfer, and shall carry out such 
transfer subject to the approval of the Committees on Appropriations of 
the House of Representatives and the Senate.] (Congressional Operations

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.

panels for rate making and distribution of royalties under various 
compulsory licenses of the copyright law.

    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.

    The Government Printing Office executes orders for printing, 
binding, and blankbook work, CD-ROM's and electronic formats, placed by

Government Printing Office also sells publications to the public through 
its sales of publications program, provides a locater service for

                        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 
        products or services available for public use or access;
            (2) The term `information dissemination product' means a 
        Government publication as defined in section 1901 of this 
        chapter, including any book, paper, map, machine-readable data 
        recorded on a physical substrate, audiovisual production, or 
        other documentary material, regardless of other characteristics;
            (3) The term `information dissemination service' means any 
        information which falls under the purview of section 1902 of 
        this chapter which is available to the public electronically 
        from a Federal computer facility or site;
            (4) The term `electronic source data files' means the 
        digital information used to produce a Government information 
        dissemination product, as defined in this section.
            (5) The term `on-line public access' means that information 
        is made accessible electronically over the Internet, or any 
        successor network, without regard for the storage media which 
        holds the data, or the searching mechanisms employed to access 
        it.'' (Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1996.)

    [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

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:

                                     1995 actual  1996 est.   1997 est.

    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.

    This presentation includes a number of accounts that had previously

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
