        This supplemental request would provide an additional $100 million
    to ensure that participation does not decrease between 1996 and 1997.
    The 1997 appropriation is insufficient to support the 1996 year-end
    participation level. WIC program funding regulations require that first
    priority for funding go to provide all State agencies with stability
    funding, which is each State agency's prior year food grant plus
    inflation. As the funds needed to maintain participation in some States
    may be greater than the grants provided by 1997 appropria-

    [[Page 1140]]

    tions, the Department will need flexibility in allocating the
    supplemental funding. This flexibility will ensure that the Secretary
    allocates funds with the goal of minimizing fluctuations in program
    participation.

               (Supplemental now requested, existing legislation)

    Transfer Fund,'' $2,006,214,000: Provided, That the Secretary of Defense
    may transfer these funds only to military personnel, operation and
    maintenance accounts, and DOD working capital funds: Provided further,
    That the funds transferred shall be merged with and available for the
    same purposes and for the same time period, as the appropriation to
    which transferred: Provided further, That the transfer authority
    provided in this paragraph is in addition to any other transfer
    authority available to the Department of Defense: Provided further, That

    the acquisition and rehabilitation of HUD-owned property and property
    with HUD-held mortgages. After acquisition and rehabilitation, these
    properties were to be made available for homeownership to low-income

    dramatically reduced the number of HUD-owned properties and HUD-held
    mortgages, thus eliminating the basis on which the HOPE program
    operated. Therefore, the balances are no longer needed.

        This supplemental request would make a technical correction in the
    appropriations language to make the funds for One-Stop Career Centers
    available on a program year basis; e.g., funds would be available
    beginning July 1, 1997. The 1997 appropriation made the funds for this
    program available on a fiscal year basis, but One-Stop Career Centers
    have been previously funded by program year. The effect of this proposal
    is to reverse the current double funding of the Centers from both the
    1996 and 1997 funds during October 1, 1996, through June 30, 1997.

        The change to the program year would allow for the continuing roll-
    out of implementation grants consistent with the Department's original
    strategy for grant-making.

        For payment of arrearages incurred through September 30, 1997, to
    meet annual obligations of membership in international multilateral
    organizations, pursuant to treaties ratified pursuant to the advice and
    consent of the Senate, conventions or specific acts of Congress, and to
    pay assessed and other expenses of international peacekeeping activities
    directed to the maintenance or restoration of international peacekeeping
    activities to become available on October 1, 1998, for fiscal year 1999,
    $921,000,000, notwithstanding section 404(b)(2) of the Foreign Relations
    Authorization Act, fiscal years 1994 and 1995 (P.L. 103-236) for
    arrearages incurred prior to October 1, 1995.

        This supplemental request would make advance appropriations for 1999
    to pay $921 million of the outstanding $1.021 billion arrears owed to
    the U.N. affiliated and other international organizations and for
    international peacekeeping. Another $100 million is requested in 1998 in
    the Contributions for international peacekeeping activities and
    Contributions to international organizations (CIO) accounts. In 1997,
    the United States will pursue reforms for international organizations
    consistent with U.S. interests, aimed at a reduction of the annual
    amount paid by the U.S. to these organizations for their next biennium
    budgets as reflected in the CIO account. With respect to international
    peacekeeping arrears, the notwithstanding clause authorizes the
    Department of State to pay arrears incurred prior to October 1, 1995 at
    the then applicable assessment rate of 30.4 percent.

        This supplemental request would provide funds to cover increased
    cost of military retired pay. The amount requested for this mandatory
    account in the President's 1997 Budget was based on a cost-of-living
    adjustment of 2.8 percent and a cost-of-living adjustment effective date
    of October 1, 1997. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 1401A, the Coast Guard
    must provide a 2.9 percent cost-of-living adjustment effective January
    1, 1997. In addition, the Coast Guard will incur unplanned retirement
    costs due to streamlining measures, such as High-Year-Tenure, Temporary-
    Early-Retirement-Authority, Retirement-In-Lieu-of-Orders, and Time-In-
    Grade waivers.

    by $1.5 billion in 1995. These funds should have been credited to the

                                GENERAL PROVISION

                             River Basin Commissions

           (Supplemental language now requested, existing legislation)

        Sec. ________. Beginning in fiscal year 1997 and thereafter, the
    United States members and the alternate members appointed under the
    Susquehanna River Basin Compact (Public Law 91-575), and the Delaware
    River Basin Compact (Public Law 87-328), shall be officers or employees
    of the Executive Branch, who hold positions that are Presidential
    appointments with Senate confirmation, and who shall serve without
    additional compensation.

        This supplemental language request would ensure that Federal
    interests are represented in Commission proceedings. P.L. 104-206 did
    not provide funding for the River Basin Commissions, and the 1998 Budget
    requests no funds for these Commissions. This supplemental language
    would redefine the Federal Commission positions so that, beginning in
    1997 and thereafter, the United States members and alternate members
    appointed under the Susquehanna River Basin Compact and the Delaware
    River Basin Compact shall be officers or employees of the Executive
    Branch who shall serve without additional compensation.
