        The Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA) established an
    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:

    [[Page 21]]

    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 to Federal service labor-
    management relations), the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988,
    the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the
    Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and chapter 43 of title 38 of the U.S. Code
    (relating to veterans' employment and reemployment).

        The Office provides employees with an independent, neutral dispute
    resolution process, as an alternative to the court system, through which
    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 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.

        The Government Printing Office executes orders for printing,
    binding, and blankbook work, CD-ROM's and electronic formats, placed by
    Congress and the various agencies of the Federal Government, and
    furnishes on order, blank paper, inks, and similar supplies. The
    Government Printing Office also sells publications to the public through
    its sales of publications program, provides a locater service for
    government electronic data bases, provides on-line access to electronic
    data bases, and distributes publications to the public for other
    Government agencies.

    revolving fund (44 U.S.C. 309). The fund is reimbursed by the customer
    agencies and receipts from sales of publications to the general public.

        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 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 1998, the Court proposes a trial program of 340 weeks consisting
    of 150 weeks of regular trial sessions, 90 weeks of small tax case
    sessions, and 100 weeks of lengthy special sessions. 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, 1996, 26 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
    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.

        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.

        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 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.
