This appropriation establishes a framework for joint Federal and
State efforts to create opportunities for self-sustaining economic
development and improved quality of life for the people of Appalachia.
Program investments are made in the Appalachian Region for wide-ranging
assistance including development highways and area development. The
States, acting through the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), are
responsible for recommending local and State projects within their
borders for assistance under this program. Special targeting to
distressed counties is a part of the State allocation formula.
1. Appalachian development highway system.--The Appalachian
development highway system (ADHS), including local access roads, is
designed to improve the accessibility of Appalachia; to reduce highway
transportation costs to and within Appalachia; and to provide the
highway transportation facilities necessary to accelerate the overall
development of Appalachia. Studies have found that the ADHS has been
important to economic development in the Region. The budget for 1998
provides $90 million for highway construction.
In addition to the ARC funding, the 1998 Budget provides $200
million in 1998 from the Highway trust fund for the ADHS. The
Administration's proposal for the reauthorization of ISTEA will include
funding for the construction of the ADHS for 1998 and beyond. These
funds will be under the programmatic and administrative jurisdiction of
the ARC.
The cumulative status of the system of roads, including mileage
prefinanced by the States, follows:
1996 actual 1997 est. 1998 est.
Development systems miles

====================================
2. Area development program.--Area development funds are provided to
each of the Appalachian States by allocation. This funding is used to
help the regional economy become more competitive by putting in place
the building blocks for self-sustaining economic development, while
continuing to provide special assistance to the Region's most distressed
and underdeveloped counties. In 1996, the Commission allocated 30% of
area development funding specifically to these 115 severely distressed
counties in addition to the overall State allocations. The Commission is
also allocating 30% of area development funding to distressed counties
in 1997. Investments made by ARC in Appalachia, coupled with the
Administration's national economic policies have reduced the number of
distressed Appalachian counties over the last three years from 115 to
94, a nearly 20% reduction.
The area development program funds projects which advance the goals
and objectives of ARC's strategic plan. This strategic plan commits ARC
to achieving five broad goals which are undergirded by 21 objectives.
These five goals are: (1) Appalachian residents will have the skills and
knowledge necessary to compete in the world economy in the 21st century;
(2) Appalachian communities will have the physical infrastructure
necessary for self-sustaining economic development and improved quality
of life; (3) the people of Appalachia will have the vision and capacity
to mobilize and work together for sustained economic progress and
improvement of their communities; (4) Appalachian residents will have
access to financial and technical resources to help build dynamic and
self-sustaining local economies; and, (5) Appalachian residents will
have access to affordable, quality health care. The Commission has taken
aggressive steps to ensure that the area development program will make
progress on accomplishing these goals, to better target resources to
those communities with the greatest needs, and to increase flexibility
in project submission.
Each Governor will submit for Commission approval an annual strategy
statement detailing the areas of emphasis within the Region for ARC
funds. Projects submitted by the Governors will include a description of
goals and objectives, and projected inputs, outputs, efficiency and
outcomes. After project completion, projected outputs and outcomes will
be compared to actual results.
The Commission's regional initiatives are a key component to
accomplishing the strategic plan. These regional initiatives are: (1)
internationalization of the economy; (2) telecommunications; (3)
leadership and civic development; and, (4) creating entrepreneurial
economies. The first three initiatives, launched prior to the adoption
of the strategic plan, will conclude their three-year cycle at the end
of FY 1997 and their relationship to the five goals will be reevaluated.
The fourth initiative, ``creating entrepreneurial economies,'' is the
centerpiece policy of the Federal Co-Chairman and will likely receive an
allocation from the overall area development funding of up to $5 million
in FY 1998.
The budget for 1998 provides $66 million for area development.
The approximate project workload follows:
1996 actual 1997 est. 1998 est.
Area development projects........... 435 450 475
3. Local development districts and technical assistance programs.--
The multi-county local development districts (LDDs) are the mechanism
for ensuring that the local governments in Appalachia plan and work
together on a regional basis. They provide competent support staff to
member governments to plan, initiate, and implement projects at the
grassroots level. Technical assistance serves to strengthen the LDDs,
their staff and operations, and their member units of government. The
1998 Budget provides $4 million for the LDDs and $1 million for
technical assistance, with the approximate approved workload as follows:
1996 actual 1997 est. 1998 est.
Planning districts aided............ 69 69 69
Technical assistance projects....... 8 8 8
4. Salaries and expenses.--The Federal Co-Chairman represents the
Federal Government on the Commission and leads in the coordination of
the Appalachian program with Federal agencies. Since 1989, the Office of
the Federal Co-Chairman includes an Inspector General.
The Federal Government contributes 50 percent of the expenses of a
professional staff which works with the States and the Federal staff in
operating the program. The staff members are not Federal employees but
are employees of the jointly-supported Commission. The budget for 1998
provides $4 million for salaries and expenses.

The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board
(Access Board) was established by section 502 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973 to ensure compliance with the Architectural Barriers Act of
1968. Since that time, the Access Board has been the only independent
Federal agency whose primary mission is accessibility for people with
disabilities. The Access Board has responsibility under three major
pieces of legislation: The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA); The
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA); and The
Telecommunications Act of 1996.
The Access Board's first major responsibility was to enforce the
ABA, ensuring accessibility in facilities built, altered, or leased
using certain Federal funds. In fiscal year 1998, the Board will
continue to process, investigate, and resolve complaints of
noncompliance. The Access Board has a proven record of voluntary,
amicable resolution of access issues. Under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), the Access Board gained responsibility for two
major public roles: to develop minimum accessibility guidelines for
places of public accommodation, commercial facilities, State and local
government facilities, and transportation vehicles and facilities, all
of which are covered under the ADA; and to offer training and technical
assistance to individuals and organizations throughout the country on
removing architectural, transportation and communication barriers.
In pursuing these responsibilities under the ADA, the Board uses
citizens' advisory committees, negotiated rulemaking, and other
communication channels to encourage the public's full participation in
the Federal rulemaking process for developing its ADA Accessibility
Guidelines (ADAAG). In addition, the Board is working with the building
industry toward the development of a single set of minimum accessibility
guidelines, using ADAAG as the basis.
Under the Telecommunications Act, the Access Board is charged with
developing accessibility guidelines for telecommunications equipment and
customer premises equipment, in conjunction with the Federal
Communications Commission. The Telecommunications Act requires that such
equipment be ``designed, developed, and fabricated to be accessible to
and usable by individuals with disabilities, if readily achievable.''

The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled was established by the Wagner-O'Day Act of 1938, as amended.
Its primary objective is to increase the employment opportunities for
people who are blind or have other severe disabilities and, whenever
possible, to prepare them to engage in competitive employment. In 1998,
approximately 32,000 people who are blind or have other severe
disabilities are projected to be employed in over 660 producing
nonprofit agencies. The Committee's duties include promoting the
program; determining which products and services are suitable for
Government procurement from qualified nonprofit agencies serving people
who are blind or have other severe disabilities; maintaining a
procurement list of such products and services; determining the fair
market price for products and services on the procurement list; and
making rules and regulations necessary to carry out the purposes of the
Act. In 1998 the Committee expects to have nearly 5,000 items on its
Procurement List and sales of $760 million.
The Committee staff's responsibilities include promoting and
assessing the overall program; supervising the selection and assignment
of new products and services; assisting in establishing prices;
reviewing and adjusting these prices; verifying the qualifications of
nonprofit agencies; and monitoring their performance.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) administers the
Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended. The purpose of the CFTC is
to further the economic utility of the futures markets by encouraging
their efficiency, assuring their integrity, and protecting participants
against abusive trade practices, fraud, and deceit. The object of
commodity futures trading regulation is to enable the markets to better
serve their designated functions of providing a price discovery
mechanism and a means of offsetting price risk. By properly serving
these functions, the futures markets serve the public interest by
contributing toward better planning, more efficient distribution and
consumption, and more economical marketing. The commodity futures and
options markets represent one of America's most innovative and
competitive contributions to the international financial services
industry.
The Administration proposes additional resources above the fiscal
year 1997 level for the Commission. These increases would enhance the
Commission's ability to investigate and detect fraud and abuse and
ensure the continued integrity of the commodities markets. In addition,
such increases would provide the Commission with the enforcement and
surveillance resources necessary to respond to the continued growth and
use of complex trading and derivative instruments.
Market surveillance, analysis and research.--Responsibilities under
this program include daily surveillance of the market activity of large
individual traders and fundamental economic market factors to insure
orderly markets. Contract terms and conditions are reviewed to insure
conformity with current cash marketing conditions and adequate
deliverable supplies. This program also systematically investigates the
functioning of markets and market users and develops better tools to
assist in detecting and preventing price distortions.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting provides grants to qualified
public television and radio stations to be used at their discretion for
purposes related primarily to program production or acquisition. The
Corporation also supports the production and acquisition of radio and
television programs for national distribution. In addition, the
Corporation assists in the financing of several system-wide activities,
including national satellite interconnection services and the payment of
music royalty fees, and provides limited technical assistance, research,
and planning services to improve system-wide capacity and performance.
The appropriation for the Corporation is enacted two years in advance.
For 1998, an appropriation of $250 million was enacted in 1996.
For 2000, the Administration is requesting $325 million for general
programming and system support. In addition, the Corporation should be
reauthorized this year, its most recent authorization having expired at
the end of fiscal year 1996. The Corporation celebrates its 30th
anniversary of service to the American people. Public broadcasting plays
a vital role in the educational and cultural development of our Nation.
The proposed funding level will allow the Corporation to maintain
quality public service programming and to meet the needs of American
public telecommunications. The table below illustrates the 1997-2000
funding levels.

The Veterans Judicial Review Act, 38 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 7251-7292
(1988) established the United States Court of Veterans Appeals under
Article I of the United States Constitution. The Court is empowered to
review decisions of the Board of Veterans' Appeals and may affirm,
modify, revise, or remand a decision of the Board of Veterans' Appeals
as it deems appropriate. The type of review performed by the Court is
similar to that which is performed in Article III courts under the
Administrative Procedure Act, title 5 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 551 et seq. In
actions before it, the Court has the authority to decide all relevant
questions of law, to interpret constitutional, statutory, and regulatory
provisions, and to determine the meaning or applicability of the terms
of an action by the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The
Court, being created by an act of Congress, may issue all writs
necessary or appropriate in aid of its jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C.
Sec. 1651.
The Court is empowered to: compel actions of the Secretary that are
found to have been unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed; and set
aside decisions, findings, conclusions, rules, and regulations issued or
adopted by the Secretary, the Board of Veterans' Appeals, or the
Chairman of the Board that are found to be arbitrary or capricious. The
Court may
[[Page 1024]]
also set aside decisions which are abuse of discretion or otherwise not
in accordance with the law, contrary to constitutional right, in excess
of statutory jurisdiction or authority, or without observance of the
procedures required by law. In cases involving benefits under the laws
administered by the Department, the Court may hold unlawful or set aside
findings of material facts if the findings are clearly erroneous.
The Court's principal office location is Washington, D.C.; however,
it is a national court, empowered to sit anywhere in the United States.
Practice Registration Fees.--This fund is established under 38
U.S.C. Sec. 7285. The fund, which receives no appropriations, will be
used by the U.S. Court of Veterans Appeals to employ independent counsel
to pursue disciplinary matters involving practitioners and to defray
costs for the implementation of the standards of practice before the
Court.

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, authorized by Public
Law 100-456, is responsible for evaluating the content and
implementation of the standards relating to the design, construction,
operation, and decommissioning of defense nuclear facilities of the
Department of Energy (DOE) (as defined in Public Law 100-456). In
addition, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal years 1992
and 1993 (Public Law 102-190) expanded the Board's jurisdiction to
include facilities and activities involved with the assembly,
disassembly, and testing of nuclear weapons, and to approve any DOE
plans to resume plutonium operations at the Rocky Flats Plant, Golden,
Colorado. The Board is also responsible for investigating any event or
practice at a defense nuclear facility which has or may adversely affect
public health and safety. The Board makes specific recommendations to
the Secretary of Energy on measures that should be adopted to ensure
that both public and worker health and safety are adequately protected.

====================================
The annual Federal payment to the Government of the District of
Columbia compensates the District for the net costs imposed by the
presence of the Federal Government in Washington, D.C. While the Federal
presence may actually add more to District revenues than it does to
operating costs (because local income, property and sales tax receipts
are highly dependent on Federal employment in the city), a lump-sum,
unrestricted Federal payment is provided to the District Government each
year to help fund local budgetary expenditures. A $660 million Federal
payment is proposed for 1998.

The Administration will propose legislation for Federal assumption
of District governmental functions in which there is a clear Federal
interest, capability and/or responsibility including certain pension
plans and parts of the criminal justice system. Under the legislation,
resources will be invested also to improve the District's capital
infrastructure and strengthen its economic base. The proposal will draw
on Federal government technical expertise to help make the District
government effective in such areas as individual income tax collection.
For FY 1998, estimated Federal discretionary costs under the
legislation will be $770 million. In exchange, the proposal
[[Page 1026]]
will end the annual Federal payment and retirement contribution which
are estimated at $712 million for FY 1998.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the Federal
agency responsible for enforcement of the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967; title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; in the Federal sector only, section
501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1963; the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990; and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. These acts prohibit
employment discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin,
age, or handicap status. The EEOC is also responsible for carrying out
Executive Order 12067, which promotes coordination and minimizes
conflict and duplication among Federal agencies that administer statutes
or regulations involving employment discrimination.

The purpose of the Export-Import Bank (Eximbank) is to aid in
financing and promoting U.S. exports. To accomplish its objectives, the
bank's authority and resources are used to: assume commercial and
political risks that exporters or private institutions are unwilling or
unable to undertake; overcome maturity and other limitations in private
sector export financing; assist U.S. exporters to meet foreign
officially sponsored export credit competition; and provide leadership
and guidance in export financing to the U.S. exporting and banking
communities and to foreign borrowers. The bank provides its export
credit support through direct loan, loan guarantee and insurance
programs. The bank is actively assisting small- and medium-sized
businesses.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records, for Eximbank, the subsidy costs associated with direct loans
and direct grants obligated, and loan guarantees and insurance committed
in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative expenses. The subsidy
amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

Operating results and financial condition.--The bank is a wholly
owned Government corporation. Capital stock of $1 billion was purchased
by the U.S. Treasury, and the bank is authorized to borrow up to $6
billion from the Treasury. The bank pays interest on such borrowings.
The bank has a reserve for possible credit losses, which provides
for the risk of loss inherent in the lending process. This reserve is a
general reserve, available to absorb credit losses related to the total
loan portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to
expenses and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The provision for possible credit losses is based on the bank's
evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve, taking into consideration a
variety of factors, including repayment status of loans, future risk
factors, the relationship of the reserve to the portfolio, and worldwide
economic conditions. Providing for such possible losses does not imply
that any loans will be written off. It simply recognizes the fact that
the prospects for collection of some of the bank's loans are impaired.

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) is an independent Federal
agency that examines and regulates the Farm Credit System (System) for
safety and soundness. The System is a cooperative agricultural credit
system of farm credit banks and associations that lends to farmers,
ranchers, and their cooperatives. Beginning in 1990, the FCA also
performs annual examinations of the Federal Agricultural Mortgage
Corporation. In addition, FCA annually examines The National Consumer
Cooperative Bank and its affiliate, The NCCB Development Corporation.
As of October 1, 1996, the System is comprised of six Farm Credit
Banks, one Agricultural Credit Bank, one bank for cooperatives, 227
associations, five service corporations, and three institutions,
including the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. The
Agricultural Credit Bank and bank for cooperatives lend to eligible
cooperative borrowers nationwide.
Assessments based upon estimated administrative expenses are
collected from institutions in the System and the Federal Agricultural
Mortgage Corporation and are available for administrative expenses.
Obligations are incurred within fiscal year budgets approved by the Farm
Credit Administration Board.

The Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation (FAC) was
created by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 to provide funds to
System institutions experiencing financial difficulties. Authority for
FAC to issue obligations and provide assistance expired in 1992, after
$1.26 billion in FAC debt had been issued. Proceeds of FAC debt
issuances were paid into, and amounts for assistance and other expenses
were paid from, the FAC Assistance Fund. The FAC was re-classified from
a Government-sponsored enterprise to a federal entity beginning in 1993,
when most of the private capital in FAC, provided by the System, was
rebated from the FAC Trust Fund pursuant to the 1989 Reconciliation and
Agriculture Appropriations Acts.
Except for debt issued for Capital Preservation cash-outs, the U.S.
Treasury pays all the interest on 15-year,
[[Page 1037]]
uncollateralized FAC obligations in the first five years, and up to half
the interest in the second five years. The system is responsible for a
greater share of the interest payment in the second five years if
retained earnings exceed five percent of assets. FAC estimates that the
system will pay 87 percent of the fiscal year 1996 expense, 91 percent
of the fiscal year 1997 expense, and 93 percent of the fiscal year 1998
expense. The System is required to eventually reimburse Treasury for
these payments, and will redeem FAC debt upon maturity or call.
The FAC Trust Fund holds and rebates the private capital contributed
by the System. Remaining amounts in the Trust Fund are available to
cover System defaults on FAC principal and interest payments.

The Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (Corporation) was
established to ensure the timely payment of principal and interest on
System debt obligations purchased by investors. The Corporation is
managed by a three member Board of Directors that consists of the same
members as the Farm Credit Administration Board of Directors. The
Corporation collects insurance premiums from insured System banks based
on the level of accruing and non-accruing loans outstanding in each bank
and its affiliated associations' loan portfolio. The Corporation derives
its revenues from these yearly premiums and from the investment income
earned on its investment portfolio. Congress established a secure base
amount of 2 percent of outstanding System obligations, or such other
amounts determined by its Board of Directors to be actuarially sound to
maintain the Insurance Fund.
The Insurance Fund is available for payment on System obligations if
an insured System bank defaults on its primary liability. The Insurance
Fund is also available to ensure the timely retirement of certain
eligible borrower stock, pay the operating costs of the Corporation and
satisfy defaults by system institutions on obligations issued by the FAC
after amounts in the FAC Trust Fund are exhausted. The Corporation can
exercise its authority to make loans, purchase System bank assets or
obligations, provide other financial assistance and otherwise act to
reduce its exposure to losses.
The Farm Credit System Reform Act, enacted in early 1996, removed
the legislative requirement for a full-time separate Board for the
Insurance Corporation. The Act also: (1) changed the Corporation's
authority to provide financial assistance, including new cost test
requirements; (2) granted flexibility to reduce insurance premiums
before reaching the secure base amount; and, (3) granted authority to
make refunds of excess Insurance Fund balances. No refunds are
anticipated through 1998.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 provides for a major
restructuring of the Nation's communications laws, promotes universal
service and open access to information networks, and provides for
flexible government regulations. Under the Act, telecommunications
carriers that provide interstate telecommunications services would be
required to contribute funds, as prescribed by the FCC, to the
preservation and advancement of universal service. The contributions
would be used to provide services eligible for universal service support
as prescribed by the FCC. Telecommunications carriers receive a credit
towards their contribution by providing discount service to schools,
libraries, and health care providers. Support will also be provided to
carriers offering services in high cost areas of the United States and
to carriers offering services to low income consumers.
The estimates of fund costs presented here are based on the best
information currently available. The Commission is, however, at a very
early stage in determining the proxy model
[[Page 1040]]
that it would use to determine costs of service for rural and high cost
areas and the share of those costs that it would expect a carrier to
recover from other sources. For this reason, the size of the fund
required to support universal service in rural and high cost areas may
differ from the estimates presented here.

This program provides for direct loans for the purpose of spectrum
licenses at the Federal Communications Commission's auctions. The
licenses are being purchased on an installment basis, which constitutes
an extension of credit. The first year of activity for this program was
1996.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct
loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments
in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The
subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the
administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC or Corporation) was
created by the Banking Act of 1933 to provide protection for bank
depositors and to foster sound banking practices. The Financial
Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 established the
Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF), and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC)
Resolution Fund (FRF). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 generally requires the Corporation to use the
least costly method to resolve failed banks and mandates that the
Corporation take prompt corrective action against under-capitalized
financial institutions.
The deposit insurance ceiling protection has been $100,000 since
March 31, 1980. In order to accomplish its varied functions to protect
depositors, the Corporation is authorized to promulgate and enforce
rules and regulations relating to the supervision of insured
institutions and to perform other regulatory and supervisory duties
consistent with its responsibilities as an insurer. The Corporation is
required to set assessment rates for insured financial institutions
semi-annually to build and maintain the reserves of the BIF and SAIF to
1.25 percent of total insured deposits.

The BIF, a public enterprise revolving fund, derives its income
principally from insurance assessments paid by insured banks. The fund
represents the accumulated net income of the BIF and is reserved for the
protection of depositors in insured banks and for the payment of
administrative and insurance expenses. As of September 1996, BIF's fund
balance totaled $26.3 billion, excluding reserves for future failed bank
resolutions. The net worth of the BIF reached 1.25 percent of total
insured deposits in May 1995.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
authorizes the FDIC to borrow up to $30 billion from the Treasury to
cover deposit insurance losses and provide additional loans from the
Federal Financing Bank for working capital purposes. The BIF is not
expected to borrow any of the $30 billion line of credit from the
Treasury or from the Federal Financing Bank to finance working capital
needs.

The Administration has proposed that all bank holding companies and
FDIC-insured banks be required to pay fees to the appropriate Federal
banking agency in amounts sufficient to defray the agency's cost of
supervising such institutions. In establishing fees for State banks, the
appropriate Federal banking agency shall take into account the extent to
which State bank supervision reduces the need for Federal supervision.
Fees would not apply to State banks with assets of less than $100
million. Currently, some financial institutions are not required to pay
Federal fees for examinations. This proposal is intended to reduce the
inequity among FDIC-insured banks.

The SAIF insures depository institutions formerly insured by the
FSLIC. In July 1995, SAIF assumed responsibility for resolving failed
thrifts from the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC).
The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 imposed a special assessment
to bring SAIF's reserves up to 1.25 percent of insured deposits. It also
provides for the merger of BIF and SAIF on January 1, 1999, provided
that no insured depository institution is a savings association on that
date.

The FRF is the successor to FSLIC assets and liabilities from thrift
resolutions prior to August 1989. Beginning in August 1989, the RTC
assumed responsibility for the FSLIC's unresolved cases.
On December 31, 1995, the RTC was terminated and its assets and
liabilities were transferred to FRF. The 1996 data
[[Page 1045]]
for FRF reflects the transfer and shows three calendar quarters of
combined operations.
Funds for FRF operations have come from: income earned on its
assets; liquidation proceeds from receiverships; the proceeds of the
sale of bonds by the Financing Corporation; and a portion of insurance
premiums paid by SAIF members prior to 1993. The Act authorizes
appropriations to make up for any shortfall. The FRF will terminate upon
the disposition of all its assets, and any net proceeds will be paid to
the Treasury. Net proceeds from the former RTC will be paid to the
Resolution Funding Corporation.

Office of the Inspector General (OIG) activities include: audits and
investigations; and, the prevention and detection of fraud, waste, and
mismanagement in the disposition of failed banking institutions' assets
by the FDIC. The Resolution Trust Corporation Completion Act of 1993
requires a Presidentally appointed Inspector General. Separately, the
OIG Act of 1978 requires each agency with a Presidentially appointed
Inspector General to prepare a separate budget statement. Prior to the
RTC Completion Act, the FDIC's Inspector General was an administrative
position established by the FDIC Board. In accordance with the RTC
Completion Act, the FDIC OIG was merged with the RTC OIG on December 31,
1995. The remaining obligations and appropriated funds of the RTC OIG
were transferred to the FRF with all other RTC assets and liabilities.

From 1993 to mid-1996, the FDIC was authorized to carry out an
affordable housing program. Under the program, single and multifamily
properties in FDIC's inventory that were appraised below a certain
threshold were held off the general market for a period of 180 days.
During that period, only low-income families and individuals, and public
agencies and nonprofit organizations that agreed to low-income rent
restrictions were allowed to bid on the properties. In 1996, the FDIC
sold 6 single family properties for a total of $0.2 million and 1
multifamily property for a total of $0.1 million.

====================================
Federal disaster assistance is a nationwide program operated
pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (Public Law 100-707). Supplementary assistance is
provided to individuals, and State and local governments in the event of
a Presidentially declared emergency or major disaster. Funds may be made
available directly to a State or local government, or to other Federal
agencies as reimbursement for expenditures in disaster relief work
performed under this authority. In addition, a variety of other Federal
agency assistance is coordinated under this program.
The Administration is requesting an appropriation of $320 million in
accordance with the Dire Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of
1992. In addition, the 1998 request includes $2,388 million to address
actual and projected requirements from 1997 and prior year declarations.
This budget requests $5.8 billion in contingent funding for 1998,
the 1991-1997 average annual emergency spending under the BEA. This fund
will be available to this and other accounts as the need arises. Please
see the Emergency Requirements for Natural Disasters account in the
Funds Appropriated to the President Chapter for more detailed
information. The requested amount for future years will be based on
average emergency funding under the BEA.
The base programs will have access to the proposed contingency fund
once all current appropriations in the affected account/accounts have
been obligated, and a Presidential decision has been made to make
additional funds available. The fund is meant to be flexible enough to
respond to a variety of disasters and thus does not reserve or dedicate
specific amounts within the total for the eligible programs. The
flexibility of the fund is essential to meet the full range of disaster
funding requirements.

Over the past 25 to 30 years, the nation's exposure to losses from
natural hazards has increased dramatically, and has directly contributed
to the escalating costs of disaster assistance. The implementation of
mitigation measures can help reverse this trend, and save future
disaster dollars by reducing the need for expensive post-disaster
recovery measures. In the 1998 budget, a new program under the Disaster
Relief Fund (DRF) is being proposed to fund pre-disaster mitigation
actions. The dollars provided for this purpose will primarily be used to
reduce the vulnerability of critical facilities in high risk areas and
will result in long-term savings, not only to the DRF, but to State and
local taxpayers as well.
Salaries and Expenses
For necessary expenses, not otherwise provided for, including hire
and purchase of motor vehicles (31 U.S.C. 1343); uniforms, or allowances
therefor, as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5901-5902; services as authorized by
5 U.S.C. 3109, but at rates for individuals not to exceed the per diem

The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, authorizes the
Federal Government to provide flood insurance on a national basis. Flood
insurance may be sold or continued in force only in communities which
enact and enforce appropriate flood plain management measures.
Communities must participate in the program within one year of the time
they are identified as flood prone in order to be eligible for flood
insurance and some forms of Federal financial assistance for acquisition
or construction purposes. In 1998, the budget assumes collection of all
of the administrative and program costs associated with flood insurance
activities from policy holders.
Under the emergency program, structures in identified flood-prone
areas are eligible for limited amounts of coverage at subsidized
insurance rates. Under the regular program, studies must be made of
different flood risks in flood-prone areas to establish actuarial
premium rates. These rates are
[[Page 1053]]
charged for insurance on new construction. Coverage is available on
virtually all types of buildings and their contents in amounts up to
$350 thousand for residential and $1 million for other types.
Budget program--Insurance underwriting expense.--Cost of initiating
and maintaining flood insurance policies is estimated at $422 million in
1998.
Loss and adjustment expense.--Insured flood losses and associated
loss adjustment expense is estimated at $591 million in 1998.
Interest expense.--Interest expenses for Treasury borrowings are
projected; a ceiling of $50 million is requested to cover charges for
purchasing Treasury securities and possible unanticipated interest
costs.
The budget proposes to recover the cost of the following activities
from policyholders and to reimburse other appropriations in FEMA's
budget:
Flood studies and surveys.--These studies are estimated at $52
million in 1998.
Flood hazard reduction.--This activity, which includes grants to
States, is estimated at $7 million in 1998.
Mitigation assistance.--This activity is estimated at $20 million
for 1998.
Salaries and expenses.--This activity provides for salaries and
related expenses of all Federal staff administering the National Flood
Insurance Program and is estimated at $22 million in 1998.
Financing.--The Administrator is authorized to borrow up to $1
billion ($1.5 billion in 1997 only) to carry out the program. The
program is financed through premium income and appropriations to repay
borrowing.
Operating results.--Program experience is reviewed annually and, as
necessary, flood insurance rates will be adjusted to maintain the NFIP's
self-supporting status for the historical average loss year, and to
maintain the soundness of rates for actuarially rated policies.

Administrative Provision
The Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall
promulgate through rulemaking a methodology for assessment and
collection of fees to be assessed and collected beginning in fiscal year
[1997] 1998 applicable to persons subject to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's radiological emergency preparedness regulations. The
aggregate charges assessed pursuant to this section during fiscal year
[1997] 1998 shall approximate, but not be less than, 100 per centum of
the amounts anticipated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be
obligated for its radiological emergency preparedness program for such
fiscal year. The methodology for assessment and collection of fees shall
be fair and equitable, and shall reflect the full amount of costs of
providing radiological emergency planning, preparedness, response and
associated services. Such fees shall be assessed in a manner that
reflects the use of agency resources for classes of regulated persons
and the administrative costs of collecting such fees. Fees received
pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the general fund of the
Treasury as offsetting receipts. Assessment and collection of such fees
are only authorized during fiscal year [1997] 1998. (Department of
Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent
Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997.)

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989 (Public Law 101-73, August 9, 1989) established the Appraisal
Subcommittee of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council.
Subsequent legislation (Public Law 101-235) authorized the Secretary of
the Department of Housing and Urban Development to designate a member of
the Appraisal Subcommittee.
The Subcommittee is charged with ensuring that real estate
appraisals used in federally-related transactions are performed in
accordance with uniform standards by appraisers certified and licensed
by the States. Its responsibilities include: (1) monitoring the
requirements established by the States for the certification and
licensing of appraisers; (2) monitoring the requirements established by
the Federal financial institutions' regulatory agencies regarding
appraisal standards; (3) monitoring and reviewing the practices,
procedures, activities, and organization of the Appraisal Foundation;
and (4) maintaining a national registry of licensed and certified
appraisers.
Subcommittee activities, including grants awarded to the Appraisal
Foundation, were initially funded from a one-time appropriation of $5
million. The Subcommittee is now operating on fee income from state-
licensed and certified real estate appraisers in the national registry.
The Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996
requires full repayment of the $5 million by the end of FY 1998. The
Treasury has already been repaid $2 million.

The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), an independent
executive agency, was established by the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 which amended the Federal Home
Loan Bank Act. The
[[Page 1057]]
duties of the Finance Board are: (1) to ensure that the twelve Federal
Home Loan Banks (Banks) operate in a safe and sound manner; (2) to
supervise all lending and related operations of the Banks; (3) to ensure
that the Banks fulfill their mission to the housing finance industry;
(4) to ensure that the Banks remain adequately capitalized; and (5) to
ensure that the Banks are able to raise funds in the capital markets.
The Finance Board succeeded the former Federal Home Loan Bank Board with
respect to the Banks.
The management of the Finance Board is vested in a five-member Board
of Directors. The Directors are the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development and four other individuals appointed by the President, with
the advice and consent of the Senate. The President designates one of
the appointed Directors as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors.
The term of a Director is seven years.
The Finance Board has the power to: (1) supervise the Banks and
promulgate and enforce such regulations and orders as are necessary; (2)
suspend or remove for cause a director, officer, employee, or agent of
any Bank or joint office; (3) determine necessary expenditures of the
Finance Board and the manner in which such expenditures shall be
incurred, allowed, and paid; and (4) use the United States mails in the
same manner and under the same conditions as a department or agency of
the United States.

The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA): (1) serves as a
neutral party in the settlement of disputes that arise between unions,
employees, and agencies on matters outlined in the Federal Service Labor
Management Relations Statute; (2) decides major policy issues; (3)
prescribes regulations; and (4) disseminates information appropriate to
the needs of agencies, labor organizations, and the public.
Establishment of the FLRA gives full recognition to the role of the
Federal Government as an employer.
In addition, the FLRA is engaged in training and facilitation in
labor-management partnerships and in resolving disputes in its unified
Collaboration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Program. Training and
facilitation workload is reflected in the following manner: the FLRA
promotes labor-management cooperation by providing training and
assistance to labor organizations and agencies on resolving disputes;
facilitates the creation of partnerships as called for in Executive
Order 12871; and trains the parties on rights and responsibilities under
the Federal Labor Relations Management Statute.
[[Page 1058]]
In 1996, the FLRA conducted over 320 programs involving over 12,000
employees, union representatives, arbitrators, and other practitioners.
Components.--The FLRA is composed of the Authority, the Office of
the General Counsel, and the Federal Service Impasses Panel.
Authority.--The Authority adjudicates labor-management disputes in
the Federal sector including: appeals on negotiability issues;
exceptions to arbitration awards; appropriate units for the purposes of
exclusive recognition; eligibility of labor organizations for national
consultation rights; and unfair labor practice complaints.
Within the Authority, administrative law judges hold hearings on
unfair labor practice complaints, issuing reports, and making
recommendations to the Authority to allow timely settlement of disputes
arising between agencies and unions. The Authority also provides all
components with administrative services.
The Office of the Inspector General is responsible for conducting
and supervising audits and investigations related to the functions of
the FLRA, pursuant to the provisions of the Inspector General Act of
1978, as amended in 1988.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS or the Service)
provides assistance to parties in labor disputes in industries affecting
commerce through conciliation and mediation.
Dispute mediation.--The Service assists labor and management in
mediation and prevention of disputes, other than those involving rail
and air transportation, whenever such disputes threaten to cause a
substantial interruption of interstate commerce or a major impairment to
the national defense. The Service also makes mediation and conciliation
services available to Federal agencies and organizations representing
Federal employees in the resolution of negotiation disputes. The Service
provides mandatory mediation and, where necessary, impartial boards of
inquiry to assist in resolving labor disputes involving private
nonprofit health care institutions. The workload shown below includes
assignments closed in both the private and public sectors.

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board is responsible for
managing the Thrift Savings Fund (Fund). The Fund is a special tax-
deferred savings fund established by the Federal Employees' Retirement
System Act of 1986. Due to the fiduciary nature of the Fund, the Fund is
not included in the totals of the Federal budget. Information on the
financial status and activities of the Fund follows this account.
Program administration for the Fund is financed from the Fund.
Program expenses are derived first from Fund forfeitures of agency one
percent automatic contributions for employees who, subsequently,
separate from the Federal government prior to vesting and from earnings
on all participant and agency contributions to the Fund.

Information Schedules for the Thrift Savings Fund
The Fund is composed of individual accounts maintained by the
Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board on behalf of the individual
Federal employee participants in the Fund. All Federal employees are
eligible to contribute to the Fund. However, only those employees
covered by the Federal Employees' Retirement System will have their
contributions matched by employing agencies in accordance with the
formulas prescribed by law. Employees are entitled to select how
contributions are distributed among three investment funds: a U.S.
Government securities investment fund, a common stock index investment
fund, and a fixed income index investment fund.
Employee participation in the Fund is entirely voluntary, so actual
results could vary significantly from these estimates. The estimated
status of the three separate funds is shown below:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC or Commission) is charged by law
with ensuring that competition in the marketplace is vigorous, free, and
fair. This is accomplished by eliminating threats to fair and honest
competition from all sources, both public and private.
[[Page 1063]]
Maintaining competition.--The Commission's efforts are aimed at
fostering and preserving our competitive system with the goal of
maximizing consumer welfare. In addition to enforcing the antitrust laws
against private sector restraints on competition, the Commission also
scrutinizes regulatory policies that unduly restrain competition, and
encourages policymakers to harness the benefits of competition when in
the development of such policies.
Consumer protection.--The Commission is charged with eliminating
unfair or deceptive acts or practices affecting commerce. The goal of
the consumer protection mission is to improve market performance so that
consumers can make informed choices when exercising their purchasing
power. To accomplish this goal, the Commission will: remove harmful
private and public restrictions on market performance; encourage
business to provide consumers with accurate and useful information; and
reinforce market forces that enhance consumer welfare.
The President's budget for 1998 provides a total of 960 workyears.
The program level for the Commission would increase from $101.9 million
in 1997 to $108.0 million in 1998, allowing the Commission to continue
to pursue its missions.
The programs administered by the FTC are funded by appropriated
funds and fees assessed for premerger notification filings under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, as required by section 605 of Public Law 101-162,
as amended. The FTC will use $80.0 million in premerger filings fees to
finance its activities, of which $10.0 million is derived from estimated
carryover fee balances.

Since the establishment of the Community Management Staff (CMS) in
1992, additional programs and responsibilities have been added to it for
budgetary oversight. To improve oversight, the Intelligence Community
Management Account (ICMA) replaces the CMS as the umbrella account to
hold those programs that directly support the Director of Central
Intelligence (DCI) and the Intelligence Community as a whole. The ICMA
now includes the CMS, the Environmental Intelligence and Applications
program, the National Intelligence Council, the Center for Security
Evaluations, the Information Systems Secretariat, the Controlled Access
Program
[[Page 1065]]
Coordination Office, the Advanced Research and Development program, and
the National Counterintelligence Center.
The CMS is the DCI's principal source of advice and assistance in
planning and executing his intelligence community management
responsibilities. These include: developing the National Foreign
Intelligence Program budget; developing intelligence plans and
requirements; and overseeing research and development activities. The
Environmental Intelligence and Applications program evaluates the
application of Intelligence Community archived information and current
and future imaging capabilities to the study of the environment. The
Advanced Research and Development program is responsible for
coordination of advanced technology within the Intelligence Community
and for encouragement of investment in high risk/high return
technologies. The Controlled Access Program Coordination Office supports
the DCI's annual review of Intelligence Special Access programs. The
National Intelligence Council provides analytical support to the DCI and
national policy makers. The Center for Security Evaluation is
responsible for evaluating and improving security capabilities at United
States embassies. The Information Systems Secretariat will support
technical activities and services of common Community concern regarding
interoperability between national intelligence systems and consumers.
The National Counterintelligence Center was established as the primary
mechanism to coordinate U.S. government national-level
counterintelligence policy and activities.

The U.S. International Trade Commission is an independent agency
created by an act of Congress. The Commission's current powers and
duties are provided for principally by the Tariff Act of 1930; the Trade
Act of 1974; the Agricultural Adjustment Act; the Trade and Tariff Act
of 1984; the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988; the North
American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act; and the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act.
The Commission conducts investigations and makes findings concerning
inter alia, whether: (1) increased imports are a substantial cause of
serious injury to an industry; (2) a U.S. industry is being materially
injured, or threatened with material injury, or the establishment of
such an industry is being materially retarded, by reason of imports of
goods that are subsidized or are being sold at less than fair value; (3)
there are unfair import practices in import trade; and (4) imports of
agricultural products are materially interfering with certain programs
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Commission advises the President as to the probable economic
effect on domestic industry and consumers of modification of duties and
other barriers to trade which may be considered for inclusion in any
proposed trade agreement with foreign countries. Further, the
Commission, at the request
[[Page 1066]]
of the President, the Congress, or on the Commission's own motion,
undertakes comprehensive studies and provides reports on key issues
relating to international trade and economic policy matters, and upon
request provides other information and advice to the Congress and
President on tariff and trade matters.
The Commission, in cooperation with the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Secretary of Commerce, establishes for statistical purposes an
enumeration of articles imported into the United States and exported
from the United States, and seeks to establish comparability of such
statistics with statistical programs for domestic production.
The Commission also issues a publication containing the U.S. tariff
schedule and related matters and considers questions concerning the
arrangements of such schedules and the classification of articles.
Pursuant to section 175 of the Trade Act of 1974, the budget
estimates for the Commission are transmitted to Congress without
revision by the President.

Public Laws 99-500, 101-208, and 102-221 established the James
Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation to operate a fellowship program
to encourage graduate study of the framing, principles, and history of
the American Constitution. Appropriations of $10 million in fiscal years
1988 and 1989 established the foundation's trust fund. The funds have
been invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in U.S. Treasury
securities, and the interest earned on these funds is available for
carrying out the activities of the foundation. Funds raised from private
sources and the surcharges from commemorative coin sales are also placed

Since 1975, the Japan-United States Friendship Commission has
operated with revenues generated from a Trust Fund currently valued at
approximately $47 million established (both in Yen in Japan, and dollars
in the U.S.) to provide for annual grant programs and operations. The
Administration proposes to privatize the Commission in 1998, that is, to
eliminate the Commission as a federal agency and provide a $38 million
start-up grant to a new, private, non-profit corporation established to
carry on the work of the Commission. The Administration proposes
returning $9 million of the original Trust Fund principal to general
receipts of the Department of Treasury to offset the cost of
privatization. A legislative proposal to enact this change will follow
transmittal of the budget.

The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board was
established to oversee an effort of enormous scope within a three year
period. The Board is charged with locating and securing all records
which relate to the assassination of President Kennedy. These records
include those of at least fifteen Federal agencies, previous official
investigations, the Presidential libraries, and many smaller
governmental and private repositories throughout the country.
The purpose of the Board is to ensure the efficient, timely and full
disclosure of these records to the American public. This effort is seen
as perhaps the last opportunity to clear up the many lingering doubts
and questions surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy.
1997 is the Board's third and final year, and it will issue a final
report upon its termination.

The Merit Systems Protection Board's mission is to assist Federal
agencies in running a merit-based civil service system. The MSPB
accomplishes its mission on a case-by-case basis through hearing and
deciding employee appeals, and on a systematic basis by reviewing
significant actions and regulations of the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) and conducting studies of the civil service and other
merit systems. The intended results (outcomes) of MSPB's efforts are (1)
to increase the assurance that personnel actions taken against employees
are processed within the law, and (2) that actions taken by OPM and
other agencies support and enhance Federal merit principles.

Public Law 102-259 established the Morris K. Udall Scholarship and
Excellence in National Environmental Policy Foundation to provide
educational resources to promote studies in the natural environment and
Native American public health and tribal policy. In addition, the
Foundation is authorized to fund the Udall Center for Studies in Public
Policy at the University of Arizona to carry out and manage programs
established by the Foundation relating especially to a program of
environmental conflict resolution.
During 1996, the Foundation awarded its first 55 undergraduate
scholarships to college juniors and seniors, from 27 states and Puerto
Rico, majoring in fields relating to environmental public policy and to
Native American upperclassmen majoring in health care and fields related
to public policy on Indian reservations. Other major projects in 1996
included a conference in conjunction with the Udall Center for Studies
in Public Policy and the Society of Environmental Journalists on the
topic of Environmental Health Issues in the U.S.-Mexico Border Region:
Public Perception, the Knowledge Base and Public Policy, and the first
ever Native American Congressional Summer Internship Program. As part of
that program, 10 Native American college graduates and seniors--men and
women--spent six weeks in Republican and Democrat congressional offices,
and in the White House, learning how the U.S. government works.
In 1997, the Foundation will increase the undergraduate scholarships
to qualified applicants (described above) to 70, and Native American
Congressional Summer Internship Program recipients from 10 to 12. In
1997, the interns will also spend more time in Washington--10 weeks as
opposed to six in 1996. For the first time the Foundation will award two
Graduate Fellowships to Ph.D. candidates whose dissertation topics are
in the area of environmental public policy and conflict resolution, and
whose work will contribute to the mission of the Foundation. The
Foundation, in conjunction with the Udall Center for Studies in Public
Policy and the University of Arizona, will host the 1997 Annual Meeting
of the Society of Environmental Journalists.

The National Archives and Records Administration provides for basic
operations dealing with management of the Government's archives and
records, operation of Presidential libraries, and for the review for
declassification of classified security information.
Records centers.--This activity provides for the accessioning,
storage, reference service, and disposal of the semiactive and non-
current records of Federal agencies through a nationwide system of 14
records centers. Significant savings result from use of low cost records
storage and the efficient and timely disposal of non-permanent records.
Archives and related services.--This activity provides for
selecting, preserving, describing, and making available to the general
public, scholars, and Federal agencies, the permanently valuable records
of the Federal Government and the historical material in Presidential
libraries, related publications and exhibit programs, and the appraisal
of all Federal records. It also provides for the publication of the
Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations, the U.S. Statutes-at-
Large, Presidential documents and for a program to improve the quality
of regulations and the public's access to them.
Through the records declassification program, historically valuable
information in the records of the Federal Government and in donated
historical materials are made available to the public by declassifying
as much information as possible without endangering the national
security.
This activity also provides oversight for the information security
program established by Executive Order 12958 and reports annually to the
President on the status of that program. It is also responsible for
policy oversight for the National Industrial Security Program
established under Executive Order 12829.
This activity also includes administrative costs for the National
Historical Publications and Records Commission.
Archives II Facility.--Provides for construction and related
services of a new archival facility. Costs of construction are financed
by $301,702 thousand of federally, guaranteed debt issued in 1989. Since
1994 and continuing in 1998, the Archives seeks appropriations for the
annual payments for interest and redemption of debt to be made under the
contract for construction and related services.

The insurance fund is used to carry out a program of insurance for
member accounts in Federal credit unions and State-chartered credit
unions which apply and qualify for insurance, authorized by Public Law
91-468, enacted October 19, 1970.
Budget program.--The activities consist of: (a) providing member
account insurance, (b) formulating standards and requirements for
insured credit unions, and (c) providing for liquidation or other
disposition of the assets and liabilities of solvent and insolvent
insured credit unions. The fund also reimburses the operating fund for
its share of the Agency's administrative costs. The reimbursement
percentage, which is reviewed and adjusted periodically, is currently at
fifty percent.
The extent of the program is estimated as follows:
1996 actual 1997 est. 1998 est.
Item:
Number of insured credit unions... 11,493 11,250 11,050
Insured shares of member
institutions as of June 30 (in
millions of dollars)............ 262,416 276,800 292,000
It is estimated that approximately 4,500 State-chartered credit
unions will be enrolled in the program by the end of 1997.
Financing.--For insurance year 1997 the credit union's required
annual insurance premium of one-twelfth of 1 percent of its total member
share accounts has been waived. As a result of Public Law 98-369 (July
18, 1984), each insured credit union is also required to deposit and
maintain in the insurance fund 1 percent of its member share accounts.
The fund is structured to be entirely self supporting through the monies
paid by member credit unions. The monies received plus the income
generated from their investment are expected to cover all administrative
and financial costs, as well as increase the fund balance proportionate
to insured share growth. In fiscal year 1996 the income generated from
the 1 percent deposit eliminated the need to assess the annual premium.
In addition, the fund paid a $102 million dividend to federally insured
credit unions in fiscal year 1997 due to an excess in the 1.3 percent
reserve requirement. The fund has $100 million in borrowing authority
from the Treasury for use in unforeseen emergencies.
Operating results.--Anticipated net income of $127 million will be
retained in the fund, raising the balance for unforeseen emergencies to
$3.8 billion by the end of 1998.

The National Credit Union Central Liquidity Facility was established
under Public Law 95-630. It began operations on October 1, 1979. The
Central Liquidity Facility provides loans to member credit unions for
seasonal and emergency needs.
The two primary sources of funds for the Facility are stock
subscriptions from credit unions and borrowings from the Federal
Financing Bank. Credit unions, which choose to become members of the
Facility, are required to purchase stock equal to one-half of 1 percent
of their assets. One-half of the subscription in stock is forwarded to
the Facility and deposited in the fund. The remaining half of the
subscription remains on call in the credit union in investments as
approved by the NCUA Board.

The Board resolves representation disputes in industry, and remedies
and prevents specified unfair labor practices by employers or labor
organizations. Case intake and additional program statistics appear in
the table below.
Program Statistics

Board decisions requiring court
enforcement......................... 174 182 193
Field investigation.--Charges of unfair labor practices and
petitions for elections to resolve representation disputes are
investigated by regional office personnel. Over 92 percent of the unfair
labor practice cases and 85 percent of the representation cases are
closed by settlement, dismissal, or withdrawal. The remainder are
prepared for public hearing. The agency strives to maximize the
voluntary settlement of all cases and to avoid litigation.
Administrative law judge hearing.--Administrative law judges conduct
public hearings in unfair labor practice cases. Their findings and
recommendations are set forth in their decisions.
Board adjudication.--In an unfair labor practice case a judge's
decision becomes a Board order if no exceptions are filed. About 30
percent of these decisions become automatic Board orders or are complied
with voluntarily. The remainder with exceptions filed require contested
Board decision. In representation cases, regional directors initially
decide the issues by Board delegation. The Board itself decides
representation issues on referral from regional directors or by granting
a request for review of a regional director's decision. The Board also
rules on objection and challenge questions in election cases.
Securing compliance with Board orders.--If the parties do not
voluntarily comply with the Board's order involving unfair labor
practices, the Board must request that the appellate courts enforce its
decisions.

Mediatory services.--The Board mediates disputes over wages, hours,
and working conditions for some 746 rail and
[[Page 1085]]
air carriers and approximately 795,000 employees in the two industries.
The Board also provides technical assistance to enable labor and
industry representatives to explore informally the relevant economic and
noneconomic problems that condition collective bargaining in the
railroad and airline industries.

Emergency disputes.--When the parties fail to resolve their disputes
through mediation, they are urged to submit their differences to
arbitration. If neither mediation nor voluntary arbitration is
successful, the President, when notified of disputes which threaten to
seriously interrupt service, may appoint emergency boards to investigate
and report on the disputes under section 160 of the Railway Labor Act
(RLA). Such reports usually serve as a basis for resolving the disputes.
The Northeast Rail Service Act of 1981 amended the Railway Labor Act
by adding a new emergency dispute procedure covering disputes between a
publicly funded and operated commuter carrier and its employees. The
1981 Act requires the Board to appoint the public members of factfinding
panels on Conrail.

Arbitration under sections 3 and 7 of the RLA.--Railroad employee
grievances resulting from disputes over the interpretation or
application of collective bargaining contracts may be brought for
settlement to the National Railroad Adjustment Board (NRAB). The
divisions of the Board are composed of an equal number of carrier and
union representatives compensated by the party or parties they
represent. Public Law 89-456 provides for the adjustment of disputes
involving grievances resulting from interpretation or application of
bargaining agreements in the railroad industry otherwise re- ferable to
the NRAB.
Administrative direction and support for the public law boards,
special boards of adjustment, and the NRAB are provided by Federal
employees who are compensated by the National Mediation Board.

The Research and Related Activities appropriation addresses
Foundation goals to enable the United States to uphold world leadership
in all aspects of science and engineering, and to promote the discovery,
integration, dissemination and employment of new knowledge in service to
society. Research activities will contribute to the achievement of these
goals through expansion of the knowledge base; integration of research
and education; stimulation of knowledge transfer among academia and the
public and private sectors; and bringing the perspectives of many
disciplines to bear on complex problems important to the nation. This
appropriation supports NSF's active development of performance
indicators that tie to the key program functions of Research Project
Support, Research Facilities, and Education and Training.
The major research program activities of the Foundation are:
Biological sciences.--This activity promotes scientific progress
in biology through support of research ranging from the study of
molecules, through cells and organisms, to studies of ecosystems.
Computer and information sciences and engineering.--Research is
directed at ``information processing'' in the broadest sense of the
term, ranging from fundamental theory to systems engineering.
Engineering.--Research supported by this activity aims to
increase U.S. engineering capability and strength, and focus that
capability and strength on areas which are relevant to national
problems and long-term needs. This activity also includes small
business innovation research.
Geosciences.--This research advances knowledge of the properties
and dynamics of the planet Earth.
Mathematical and physical sciences.--Research in this activity
is directed at increasing understanding of natural laws and
phenomena. It includes research in mathematics, astronomy, physics,
chemistry, and materials science.
Social, behavioral and economic sciences.--This activity
supports research in social, behavioral and economic sciences,
facilitates international scientific cooperation, and funds science
resources studies.
U.S. Polar Research Programs.--This activity supports Arctic and
Antarctic research and operational science support and other related
activities for the United States Polar Research Programs. This
activity includes funding for the expenses of the Arctic Research
Commission.
U.S. Antarctic Logistical Support Activities.--This activity
provides necessary expenses for reimbursing Federal agencies for
logistical and other related activities for the United States
Antarctic Logistical Support Activities.
Critical Technologies Institute.--This activity supports a
federally-funded research and development center that provides
analytical support to the Executive Branch.

Education and Human Resources (EHR) activities provide a
comprehensive set of programs that further NSF's goal of achieving
excellence in U.S. science, mathematics, engineering, and technology
(SMET) education. At the pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre K-12)
level, EHR focuses on the systemic reform of SMET education in states,
cities, school districts, and rural areas. Its pre K-12 programs provide
new instructional materials and pedagogical techniques that incorporate
the latest advances in teaching, learning, and educational technologies.
They also provide enrichment activities for teachers and students.
Undergraduate initiatives improve curriculum in all SMET fields and lead
major reform efforts in mathematics, chemistry, and other disciplines.
EHR programs strengthen laboratory course offerings and enhance faculty.
Programs for advanced technological education strengthen education for
students preparing to enter the high-technology workforce. Graduate
level support is directed primarily to research fellowships and
traineeships to guarantee the U.S. position of world leadership in
science and technology. All EHR programming focuses on broadening
participation of groups underrepresented in SMET fields. The
Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) broadens
participation of states and regions in science and engineering. EHR
supports research that advances SMET education and promotes applications
of educational technologies. Evaluation and communications activities
ensure programmatic accountability by developing indicators that measure
impact and inform the education community of best practices and other
relevant information. This appropriation also supports NSF's active
development of performance indicators that tie to the key program
functions of Education and Training and Research Project Support.

====================================
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), as an independent
nonregulatory agency, is charged with promoting transportation safety
through the investigation of accidents, the conduct of special studies,
the development of recommendations to prevent accidents, the evaluation
of the effectiveness of other Government agencies in preventing
transportation accidents, and the review of appeals of adverse
certificate and civil penalty actions taken by the Administrators of
agencies of the Department of Transportation involving airman and seaman
certificates and licenses.
In 1998, the Administration requests a total funding level of $46.0
million for NTSB Salaries and Expenses, including $6 million to be
derived from a proposed commercial aviation accident investigation fee.
This funding level represents an 8.5 percent increase above the 1997
enacted level of $42.4 million, excluding one-time costs associated with
TWA 800. It is uncertain whether the TWA 800 investigation will continue
into 1998. In the event that it does, the Administration anticipates
that extraordinary costs related to the investigation would be funded
through a supplemental appropriation.
The additional resources requested for 1998 will allow the NTSB to
hire additional accident investigators; contract with private companies
for communications and other services; and fulfill the Presidential
Memorandum of September 9, 1996, which requires the NTSB to play a
coordinating role, in conjunction with private non-profit organizations,
in providing assistance to families of victims of aviation accidents.

This is one of several proposals in the budget to charge fees to
users directly availing themselves of, or subject to, a government
service, program, or activity, in order to cover the government's costs.
Legislation will be proposed to authorize a commercial aviation accident
investigation fee and, upon enactment of the authorization, and the
appropriations language proposed above, the fees will become available
for expenditure. Because the current requirements of the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990 make it difficult to fund discretionary programs
with receipts that are not authorized in appropriations acts, the
Administration is proposing a change in the requirements to facilitate
the enactment of proposals such as this one.

The National Transportation Safety Board is mandated by Congress to
investigate all catastrophic transportation accidents and, therefore,
has no control over the frequency of costly accident investigations. The
emergency fund provides a funding mechanism by which periodic accident
investigation cost fluctuations can be met without delaying critical
phases of the investigations. In 1998, the Administration proposes to
double the size of the emergency fund to cover unanticipated costs
associated with an increased number of accidents.

The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) (1) investigates Federal
employee allegations of prohibited personnel practices (including
reprisal for whistleblowing) and when appropriate prosecutes before the
Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB); (2) provides a channel for
whistleblowing by Federal employees; and (3) enforces the Hatch Act. The
OSC may transmit whistleblower allegations to the agency head concerned
and require an agency investigation and a report to the Congress and the
President when appropriate.
The current Special Counsel has undertaken a review of and made
changes in virtually every aspect of the operations of the OSC. The aim
of these efforts has been to make the OSC more responsive to those
individuals who seek the agency's assistance, to improve the
productivity of the OSC's employees, and to ensure that the OSC is an
easily accessible source of information about the rights of government
employees.
Overall in FY 1996, there were more than 7,517 instances in which
the assistance or action of the OSC was sought by federal employees and
other persons. Many prohibited personnel practice and Hatch Act cases
investigated by the OSC are resolved without recourse to formal
proceedings before the MSPB. In Fiscal Year 1996 the OSC obtained 86
corrective or other favorable actions, and efforts to obtain such
negotiated resolutions will continue. In Fiscal Year 1996 the OSC also
filed 7 enforcement actions before the MSPB in prohibited personnel
practice and Hatch Act matters. The OSC also issued a record-setting
3,578 Hatch Act advisory opinions (both written and oral) to people who
sought advice. During FY 1996, the OSC's Disclosure Unit received 384

General Corporate expenses provide for the salaries and related

of Inspector General. It also provides for non-administrative expenses
which are general in nature and not associated with any specific
function. Included in these costs are: the amortization of the expense
of the special retirement provisions of the treaty implementation
legislation; the interest expense on the investment of the U.S.
Government in the Canal which is paid into the miscellaneous receipts of
the U.S. Treasury; the health and education services provided to
Commission's employees and

Financing.--The Commission has two Treasury accounts: the Revolving
Fund, which covers operations, and the Dissolution Fund, which provides
for costs associated with the dissolution of the Panama Canal Commission
and will not be available for obligation until October 1, 1998. The
operation of the Canal is conducted on a commercial basis with revenues
derived from tolls collected from vessels and other essential supporting
services. Revenues collected are deposited in an account in the Panama
Canal Revolving Fund. Operating and capital expenditures are then funded
from this account. The Commission may borrow from the U.S. Treasury not
more than $100 million outstanding at any time. No cash withdrawals
against these funds are planned.
The amount set aside from toll receipts for a capital advance in
1998 is $68.3 million. No provision is made for working capital in 1998.
The budget reflects a two phase toll rate increase of 8.2 percent
effective January 1, 1997, and 7.5 percent effective January 1, 1998.
The Commission incurred an operating loss of $1.7 million in 1996 and is
budgeting a modest loss of $1.9 million for 1997. Both losses will be
carried forward and fully recovered in 1998.

====================================
The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, Public Law 91-375, converted
the Post Office Department into the U.S. Postal Service, an independent
establishment within the executive branch. The Postal Service commenced
operations July 1, 1971. This agency is charged with providing patrons
with reliable mail service at reasonable rates and fees.
The U.S. Postal Service is governed by an 11-member Board of
Governors, including 9 Governors appointed by the President, a
Postmaster General who is selected by the Governors, and a Deputy
Postmaster General who is selected by the Governors and the Postmaster
General.
Decisions on changes in domestic rates of postage and fees for
postal services are recommended to the Governors of the Postal Service
by the independent Postal Rate Commission after a hearing on the record
under the Administrative Procedure Act. The Commission also recommends
decisions on changes in the domestic mail classification schedule to the
Governors. Decisions of the Governors on rates of postage, fees for
postal services, and mail classification are final, subject to judicial
review.
Effective in 1986, the Postal Service Fund (Fund) was included in
the congressional and executive budget process and taken into account in
making calculations under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings). The Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1989 amended title 39 of the U.S. Code by adding a
new section, 2009a, which provides that, beginning in 1990, the receipts
and disbursements of the Fund shall not be considered as part of the
congressional and executive budget process and shall not be taken into
account in making calculations under Gramm-Rudman-Hollings.
Programs.--Included are all postal activities providing window
services; processing, delivery, and transportation of mail; research and
development; administration of postal field activities; and associated
expenses of providing facilities and financing.
The rapid development of electronic messaging systems promises to
increase the effectiveness of the Nation's communications infrastructure
and U.S. competitiveness in the future. As the provider of a universally
available hard copy delivery system, the United States Postal Service is
encouraged to examine these emerging communications technologies and to
cooperate with the private sector on issues of integration, directory
service, and strategic alliances that will facilitate the development of
secure and reliable electronic messaging networks.
The transition from hard copy to electronic messaging already has
begun. The Postal Service should assist in developing future messaging
systems. The Postal Service's participation should recognize the
changing needs of its business, governmental, and individual customers;
should focus on determining an appropriate means for public and private
sector cooperation; and should be consistent with the agency's vision of
evolving into a premier provider of 21st century postal communications.
The Postal Service should seek to leverage its comprehensive delivery,
messaging security, and addressing directory management capabilities in
a manner that promotes universal access to the benefits of these new
technologies for all citizens who desire them.
Financing.--The activities of the U.S. Postal Service are financed
from the following sources: (1) mail and services revenue; (2)
reimbursements from Federal and non-Federal sources; (3) proceeds from
borrowing; (4) interest from U.S. securities and other investments; and
(5) appropriations by the Congress. All receipts and deposits are made
to the Postal Service Fund and are available without fiscal year
limitation for payment of all expenses incurred, retirement of
obligations, investment in capital assets, and investment in obligations
and securities.
Separate legislation also increased the Postal Service's statutory
borrowing authority beginning in 1991. Section 2005 of title 39, United
States Code, as amended, increased the Postal Service's borrowing
authority by $2.5 billion in 1991 for a revised ceiling of $12.5 billion
and an additional $2.5 billion in 1992 for a revised total ceiling of
$15 billion. The total net increase in amounts outstanding in any one
fiscal year were also increased and now may not exceed $2.0 billion in
obligations issued for the purpose of capital improvements and $1.0
billion for the purpose of paying operating expenses. As of September
30, 1998, it is expected that the total debt instruments issued and
outstanding pursuant to this authority will amount to $11.789 billion.
Operating.--Estimated revenue will total $59.553 billion in 1998.
This includes $59.414 billion from mail and services revenue, $72
million from investment income, and $67 million accrued for revenue
foregone appropriations in 1998. Total expenses are estimated at $61.386
billion in 1998.
The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 established the Postal Service
as a fully self-sufficient, independent entity. Postal revenues were to
cover the full costs of postal operations. When the Act was passed, the
Postal Service received substantial taxpayer subsidies, both
appropriated and unappropriated. Consistent with the intent of the 1970
Act, Congress has taken steps over time to reduce these subsidies. Under
the 1974 Civil Service Retirement Fund--Postal Employee Benefits Act,
the Postal Service assumed responsibility for paying unfunded retirement
costs from wage schedule increases under postal labor contracts. These
costs are not covered by normal employee/employer contributions to the
retirement fund. The 1985 Reconciliation Act shifted responsibility for
paying health benefit costs of Postal annuitants retiring after 1986
from OPM to the Postal Service. The 1987 Reconciliation Act had the
Postal Service make one-time payments to defray annuitant health benefit
costs in 1988 and 1989 and retirement COLA costs in 1988. (Retirement
COLAs, like wage schedule increases, result in retirement liabilities
not covered by normal retirement fund contributions.) Under the 1989
Reconciliation Act, the Postal Service assumed responsibility for paying
health benefits of survivors of post-86 annuitants and unfunded
retirement COLA liabilities for post-86 annuitants.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 superseded certain
existing legislation and expanded the Postal Service's responsibility
for benefit costs of postal annuitants. Effective October 1, 1990, the
Postal Service is required to fund Civil Service Retirement System
(CSRS) COLAs and the employer's share of Federal Employee Health Benefit
Program (FEHBP) premiums for postal annuitants who retired after June
30, 1971, and their survivors. In addition, the Postal Service is
required to fund the retroactive CSRS COLA and FEHBP premium costs for
which the Postal Service would have been liable if the provisions of
this new legislation had been in effect as of July 1, 1971.
Under the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993, the Postal Service is
required to make certain payments for past COLAs and health benefits,
over and above any other payments required by law, of $693 million to
the Civil Service Retirement
[[Page 1104]]
and Disability Fund, and $348 million to the Employees Health Benefits
Fund. These two payments are to be made in three equal annual
installments, beginning in fiscal year 1996.

In addition to rail social security, rail industry pensions and
special windfalls, the Railroad Retirement Board pays supplemental
annuities to rail workers retiring at age 60 with 30 years of creditable
rail service or at age 65 with 25-29 years of creditable service.
Monthly benefit amounts are calculated from a base of $23, adding $4 for
every year of service over 25, up to a maximum monthly benefit of $43.
Employers finance benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis by a cents-per-hour
tax, currently established at 35 cents per hour.

====================================
All railroad retirees receive the equivalent of a social security
benefit, and they may also receive other add-ons including rail industry
pension payments, windfall payments, and supplemental annuities. Social
security benefits for former railroad employees are funded by the social
security trust funds, and rail industry pension payments are the
responsibility of the rail sector.
Under current law, a financial interchange occurs once each year
between the social security trust funds and the social security
equivalent benefit (SSEB) account. The SSEB receives monthly advances
from the general fund equal to an estimate of the transfer the SSEB
would have received for the previous month if the financial interchange
transfers were on a monthly basis. Advances from the previous year are
repaid annually to the general fund immediately after the financial
interchange is received. In 1996, $3,150 million was advanced and $3,081
million was repaid.

The legislation proposes to change the law so that social security
benefits paid under the Railroad Retirement Board's system would in no
instance be less generous than the social security benefits that the
Social Security Administration would pay. The main beneficiaries of the
change would be spouses and children of rail employees.

The Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) Office of Inspector General
(OIG) was established in April 1990 in accordance with the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). As a
result of FIRREA and the RTC Completion Act of 1993, the RTC sunset was
completed on December 31, 1995. All assets and liabilities of RTC were
transferred to the FSLIC Resolution Fund, under the management of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The remaining obligations
of the RTC OIG have also been transferred to the FDIC's FSLIC Resolution
Fund and will be included in all schedules under that fund until
expended. The RTC Office of Inspector General merged with the FDIC
Office of Inspector General, and its audits, investigations, and other
reviews will continue to be performed.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act
(FIRREA) of 1989 established the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) as a
temporary agency to dispose of insolvent thrift institutions. The
Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) took over responsibility for
resolving failed thrifts on July 1, 1995, and the RTC's assets and
liabilities were transferred to the FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF) on
December 31, 1995. Beginning on January 1, 1996, activities related to
the former RTC are included in the budget schedules of FRF.
Of $18.3 billion appropriated to RTC in 1993 by the RTC Completion
Act, amounts not needed by RTC remain available for two years after RTC
termination for possible transfer by the Secretary of the Treasury to
SAIF, if needed to cover SAIF losses and upon certain certifications by
the Chairman of the FDIC. The Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight
Board determined that only $4.6 billion of the $18.3 billion will be
required. The excess $13.8 billion was not transferred to the FSLIC
Resolution Fund upon RTC termination, but remains available for transfer
to SAIF until December 31, 1997.

The primary mission of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission) is to administer and enforce the federal securities laws in
order to protect investors, and to maintain fair, honest, and efficient
markets.
Full disclosure.--This program ensures that investors will be
provided with material facts in the public offering, trading, voting and
tendering of securities. Issuers that have conducted public offerings,
have securities traded in the public markets, or have total assets and
security holder populations of specified sizes, are required to furnish
management, financial, and business information to the Commission on a
continuing basis in proxy materials and in annual and other periodic
reports. The staff reviews these documents on a selected basis for
compliance with the disclosure requirements. In addition, all
registration statements of issuers that are making their initial public
offerings of securities and all third party tender offer filings are
reviewed by the staff. As a result of the review process, the staff may
issue comments to issuers to elicit better compliance or, where
appropriate, refer matters for enforcement action.
Electronic filing project (EDGAR).--In 1984, the SEC began a pilot
project that successfully tested the feasibility of receiving,
analyzing, and disseminating full disclosure filings electronically. The
pilot received approximately 114,000 filings electronically through July
1992, when it was closed.
In early 1989, the SEC selected a contractor to develop the
operational system. This system provides the Commission with the
capability for electronic receipt, analysis, and dissemination of almost
all of the full disclosure filings. The operational system opened in
January 1992 for test filings, and the phase-in of mandated electronic
filing began in April 1993. As of May 6, 1996, all 28,000 companies and
funds registered with the SEC were phased in, except for certain foreign
issuers. As of December 6, 1996, the operational system has received and
disseminated over 407,000 filings. The operational contract, due to
expire in January 1997, is being extended for one additional year to
allow sufficient time to conduct a full and open competition for a new
EDGAR contract. Contract costs for 1997 are estimated at $8.2 million.
EDGAR costs are allocated between the Full Disclosure Program ($6.6
million) and Investment Management Regulation ($1.6 million). Offers on
a new EDGAR contract are expected to be received no later than January
24, 1997. The costs for the follow-on contract are not known at this
time and will depend heavily on the extent of privatization proposed by
the offerors and accepted by Congress.

Prevention and suppression of fraud.--This program evaluates
information indicating possible violations of the federal securities
laws. Possible violations include, among other things, the illegal
distribution of unregistered securities; fraud in the offer, purchase,
and sale of securities; insider trading, market manipulation; and
illegal conduct by broker-dealers, investment advisers, and other
regulated entities. Investigations of possible violations are conducted
and, if appropriate, enforcement actions are initiated. Actions include
civil proceedings seeking injunctive and other relief and administrative
proceedings. The Commission is now authorized to seek court orders
imposing civil monetary penalties for any securities law violation as
well as to seek such penalties against regulated entities in
administrative proceedings. Under appropriate circumstances matters are
referred for criminal prosecution.

Supervision and regulation of securities markets.--Trading in the
securities markets is regulated to protect investors against fraud and
manipulation and to ensure the maintenance of fair, orderly, efficient,
and competitive markets. The Commission oversees the work of self-
regulatory organizations, monitors securities markets and broker-dealer
operations, and develops regulatory strategies for coping with market
stress, promoting compliance, and meeting changing domestic and
international conditions. The Commission also conducts examinations of
broker-dealers and inspections of transfer agents, clearing agencies,
and self-regulatory organizations.

inadequate disclosure, and other abuse. The staff refers serious
violations for enforcement action. This program also is responsible for

services and economic analyses to the Commission concerning its law
enforcement, regulatory, and legislative activities, including: (i)
prosecution of enforcement actions in appellate courts; (ii)
representation of the Commission in all other appellate litigation, in
private litigation where the Commission appears as amicus curiae, and in
corporate reorganizations; (iii) representation of the Commission in
actions brought against the Commission and its employees; (iv)
preparation of Congressional testimony and comments and advice
concerning proposed securities legislation; (v) advice to the Commission
concerning issues arising from its law enforcement and regulatory
activities; (vi) preparation of draft opinions of adjudicatory decisions
and advice to the Commission regarding its adjudicatory decisions; (vii)
advice to the Commission regarding compliance with government-wide
statutes and the statutes and rules applicable to the agency's
activities; and (viii) economic analyses of proposed regulations and
legislation, litigation support in enforcement cases, and independent
studies of issues affecting the securities markets. In addition, the
administrative law judges conduct hearings and issue initial decisions
in formal administrative proceedings where the Commission has determined
that hearings are appropriate in the public interest and for the
protection of public investors.

Program direction.--This program assists the Commission in
fulfilling its statutory requirements and in responding to changes in
the securities industry by carefully evaluating priorities, formulating
and implementing policies, and managing agency resources. The staff
provides management direction and analysis, internal control, financial
management, personnel management, data processing, public affairs,
records management, information dissemination, general administrative
services, and processing of equal employment opportunity complaints.
The Commission will be supported in the future by the funding
structure included in Title IV of the ``National Securities Markets
Improvement Act of 1996'' (P.L. 104-290), which was signed by the
President on October 11, 1996. This law will over time reduce the rates
of fees charged under Federal securities laws. In 1998, the Section 6(b)
fee rate paid by corporations to register securities with the Commission
will be reduced from \1/33\ of one percent, the 1997 enacted level, to
\1/34\ of one percent of the maximum aggregate price at which such
securities are proposed to be offered. The first \1/50\ of one percent
of this fee shall be deposited in the general fund of the U.S. Treasury,
and the remaining increment will be made available for use by the
Commission as an offsetting collection. This reduction in the
registration fee rate will modestly lower the cost of raising capital in
the United States. In addition, to promote equity across securities
markets, the ``National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996''
extends transaction fees to the over-the-counter market at a rate of \1/
300\ of one percent of the aggregate dollar amount of securities
transacted, the rate currently paid by all national and regional
exchanges. These new transaction fees also will be available to the
Commission as an offsetting collection.

The Selective Service System continues to register men as they reach
age 18, as required by law, and maintain a data base of registrant
records. Should the Nation return to conscription for a national
emergency, the SSS must respond effectively to current Department of
Defense requirements to have the first draftees at military processing
centers 193 days after a mobilization.
In 1998 through interagency partnership with other agencies, the SSS
will expand its national initiative, ``Service to America'' to afford
every young man that receives an SSS registration acknowledgment card,
over 1.9 million annually, the opportunity to serve America today
through volunteer military or civilian service. Important messages about
public service opportunities will be incorporated into the existing
registration acknowledgment process. In this way, the SSS will also
become a clearing house for other Federal agencies encouraging America's
youth to serve the Nation during peacetime.
In addition to improving business processes and registration
compliance statistics, the Agency is moving to a more modern computer
technology, new reengineering projects and revised methods of
registration.

The State Justice Institute was established by the Congress in 1984
as a private, non-profit corporation to make grants and undertake other
activities designed to improve the administration of justice in the
United States. Appropriations in 1997 are intended to provide for
continuation of Institute operations at a reduced level. In addition to
the $5 million requested for State Justice Institute, the President's
Budget requests $30 million in the Office of Justice Programs'
(Department of Justice) Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund for
assistance to State Courts.
