        This appropriation provides for agency-wide audits, inspections, and
    investigative functions to identify and recommend corrections for
    management and administrative deficiencies that create conditions for
    existing or potential instances of fraud, waste, and mismanagement. The
    audit function provides for internal audits and contract audits.
    Contract audits provide professional advice to agency contracting
    officials on accounting and financial matters related to negotiation,
    award, administration, repricing, and settlement of contracts. Internal
    audits review and evaluate all facets of agency operations. Inspections
    services provide detailed technical evaluations of agency operations.
    The investigative function provides for the detection and investigation
    of improper and illegal activities involving programs, personnel, and
    operations.

        Activities under the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) account
    support all three themes of the Commerce Strategic Plan: U.S.
    competitiveness in the global marketplace; American competitiveness
    through science and technology and an unrivaled information base; and
    effective stewardship of our Nation's resources and assets to ensure
    sustainable economic opportunities.

        The OIG concentrates on programs and operations that have the
    greatest potential for identifying fraud, recovering funds, precluding
    unnecessary outlays, and improving management. The OIG identifies the
    audit, inspection, and investigative universe and determines how it will
    focus its work on areas that significantly affect the Department's
    ability to prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement.

        The OIG's Semiannual Report to the Congress provides the following
    Statistical Highlights:

         LValue of questioned costs identified in audit reports.

         LValue of audit recommendations that funds be put to better
    use.

         LValue of audit recommendations agreed to by management.

         LArrests, indictments, convictions, personnel actions,
    administrative actions, and fines, restitutions, judgments, and civil
    and administrative recoveries.

        During the 105th Congress, the Administration has submitted a
    legislative proposal to reauthorize the Economic Development
    Administration's (EDA's) programs. The Administration strongly
    encourages the Congress to consider and approve this legislation during
    the 2nd session of the 105th Congress.

        The administration of EDA's economic development assistance programs
    is carried out through a network of headquarters and regional personnel.

        Direct program.--These activities include preapplication
    development, application processing (completed within a 60-day
    timeframe) and project monitoring as well as general support functions
    such as economic development research, information dissemination, legal,
    civil rights, environmental compliance, budgeting and debt management.

        Reimbursable program.--EDA provides both data processing and
    accounting services to other Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis.
    Funds received cover the cost of performing this work.

        The Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides grants for
    public works facilities, other financial assistance, and planning and
    coordination assistance needed to alleviate conditions of substantial
    and persistent unemployment and underemployment in economically
    distressed areas and regions. EDA assistance stimulates job creation and
    increases income in distressed communities, promotes greater national
    productivity and balanced economic growth.

        EDA responds to community priorities and strives to meet its
    objectives through the use of a broad range of program tools:

        Planning grants.--Support the design and implementation of effective
    economic development policies and programs by local organizations.

        Technical assistance grants.--Provide for local feasibility and
    industry studies, funding for a network of university centers that
    assist public bodies, nonprofit organizations and businesses to plan and
    implement activities designed to generate jobs and income in distressed
    areas.

        Public works grants.--Provide for infrastructure projects that
    foster the establishment or expansion of industrial and commercial
    businesses generating employment in communities experiencing high
    unemployment, low per-capita income, and out-migration.

        Economic adjustment grants.--Provide a package of assistance tools,
    including planning, technical assistance, revolving loan funds and
    infrastructure development, to help communities counteract either a
    gradual erosion or a sudden dislocation of their local economic
    structure, as a result of natural disasters, international trade
    competition, or major plant closings and in support of Brownfields
    redevelopment.

        In 1999, EDA will establish an Office of Community and Economic
    Adjustment Assistance to coordinate Federal economic development
    programs and activities designed to assist localities experiencing major
    plant closings and/or adversely affected by trade agreements.

        Research evaluation grants.--Support studies about the causes of
    economic distress and approaches to alleviating and preventing such
    problems and national demonstrations of innovative economic development
    techniques and dissemination of economic development information.

        Defense economic adjustment grants.--Provide communities impacted by
    DOD and DOE downsizing, as well as defense contract reductions, with
    tools for developing integrated plans to adjust to economic dislocations
    and assist in the implementation of these plans.

        Trade adjustment assistance.--Provides technical assistance, through
    a national network of 12 Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers, to
    certified U.S. manufacturing firms and industries economically injured
    as the result of international trade competition.

        Performance measures.--All program activities under this account
    support all three themes of the Commerce Strategic Plan, including goals
    on stimulating the creation of private sector jobs, helping distressed
    communities build capacity for economic growth, providing new knowledge
    and technical information to help solve economic development problems,
    helping communities incorporate technology as economic development
    tools, helping communities recover from defense downsizing and natural
    disasters, and helping communities implement sustainable economic
    development.

        For investments made in 1998 and 1999, as in other years, outcomes
    are generated after projects are completed and businesses are
    established in the project area, estimated at six years after
    completion. Below are a few of the performance measures that EDA is
    using for its programs with projections of performance outcomes expected
    in or about 2004 and 2005, respectively.

        origin or destination. This program covers the Census Bureau
        responsibilities under the Trade Act of 1974.
            Government statistics reports provide information on the
        revenue, expenditures, indebtedness and debt transactions, financial
        assets, employment, and payrolls of State and local governments. The
        Census Bureau provides quarterly information on State and local tax
        revenue on the national level by type of tax and governmental level,
        and provides information on financial assistance programs of the
        Federal government.
            Current demographic statistics.--Household surveys provide
        information on the number, geographic distribution, and the social
        and economic characteristics of the population. The 1999 program
        includes a significant initiative for steps to improve the
        measurement of poverty.
            Population and housing analyses provide current demographic
        reports on the geographic distribution and on the demographic,
        social, and economic characteristics of the population, as well as
        current estimates and future projections of the population of the
        United States, and special analyses of demographic, social and
        economic trends. International statistics provide estimates of
        population, labor force, and economic activity, including spatial
        distribution, and analyses concerning aspects of demographic
        policies, economic policies, and trends for various countries. The
        Census Bureau compiles housing statistics on the Nation's housing
        inventory and provides national and regional estimates of housing
        vacancy rates.
            Survey development and data services.--The Statistical Abstract
        that the Census Bureau prepares annually summarizes Government and
        private statistics of the industrial, social, political, and
        economic activities of the United States. The Bureau conducts
        general research on survey methods and techniques to find ways of
        improving the efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness of statistical
        programs. Data systems development provides advanced data capture,
        data processing, and information retrieval technology to meet Census
        Bureau program requirements.
            Survey of Program Dynamics.--The Personal Responsibility and
        Work Opportunity Act of 1996 required that the Survey of Income and
        Program Participation be expanded to evaluate the impact of welfare
        reforms made by this Act. The Survey of Program Dynamics will
        collect data necessary to determine the impact of these provisions.
        $10 million per year for 7 years (1996-2002) was made available for
        this study.

        Performance measures.--Activities under the Salaries and expenses
    account support two Strategic Themes of the Department of Commerce. The
    Strategic Theme ``Economic Infrastructure'' of the Department of
    Commerce includes the Bureau of the Census' goal to ``Improve national
    and local census and survey data through better business practices and
    public

    [[Page 192]]

    cooperation,'' and the Department's Strategic Theme ``Science/
    Technology/Information'' includes the Bureau's Goal to ``Provide
    products and services of greater value and satisfaction to Census
    national and local information base customers.''

        This appropriation funds legislatively mandated economic and
    periodic demographic censuses and other authorized activities.

        Economic statistics programs.--
            Economic censuses.--The economic censuses provide data on
        manufactures, retail and wholesale trade and service industries,
        construction, and transportation. The censuses are taken every fifth
        year, covering calendar years ending in two and seven. 1999 is the
        fifth year in the six year cycle of the 1997 Economic Census. The
        Bureau will review, edit and prepare data collected for publication
        and dissemination.
            Census of governments.--This census collects State and local
        government data on taxes, tax valuations, governmental receipts,
        expenditures, indebtedness, and number of employees. This census is
        taken every fifth year for calendar years ending in two and seven.
        1999 is the final year in the five-year cycle of the 1997 Census of
        governments. The focus for 1999 is to complete the data review,
        develop a data release program, and publish reports from the 1997
        census of governments.

    [[Page 193]]

        Demographic statistics programs.--
            Intercensal demographic estimates.--This program develops
        updated population estimates, in years between decennial censuses,
        for states, counties, metropolitan areas and urban places; and,
        prepares a variety of data to meet diverse legislative needs.
            Decennial census.--1999 is the final year of preparation for
        Census 2000. The Bureau must complete several preparatory activities
        to launch a successful mobilization in 2000. Including: completion
        of all address-listing work, establishment of the field
        infrastructure, printing questionnaires, and development and
        manufacture of the data capture technology. These and other
        activities help ensure that the Bureau is fully prepared for
        conducting the Census in the year 2000.
            Funding in the decennial census request assumes the use of
        sampling in the 2000 Census. Funding is also requested for planning
        and testing census methodologies and acquiring additional field
        offices in compliance with the Administration's agreement with
        Congress to maintain ``two tracks'' and allow for a final decision
        on the use of sampling by March 1, 1999. The Administration has not
        included additional funding for non-sampling census activities
        because that funding is not required by the agreement. The
        Administration remains fully committed to the use of sampling in the
        decennial census. Without sampling, the cost of the decennial census
        will increase and its accuracy, especially with regard to groups
        that are traditionally undercounted, will decrease.

        Continuous measurement.--The Continuous measurement program will
    allow the Census Bureau to collect and disseminate, on an annual basis,
    the types of data collected on the Decennial census long-form. The
    Continuous measurement program will make the Census Bureau the premier
    source for current population and housing data needed for both near and
    long-term economic development. The Bureau will continue developing and
    testing the program in 1999.

        Demographic Surveys Sample Redesign.--This program provides for
    revisions to all of the monthly, quarterly and annual household survey
    samples to conform to the redistribution of population measured in the
    decennial census. This is done to update the accuracy of the ongoing
    surveys.

        Electronic Information Collection (EIC).--EIC is the Bureau's
    program to transform the Bureau's business processes--the collection,
    processing, and dissemination of information. Making the greatest
    possible use of automation and telecommunications, EIC seeks to provide
    the tools and systems to deliver to our customers accurate information,
    quickly and efficiently, with as little burden as possible on those who
    provide the data to the Bureau. The 1999 program includes a government-
    wide initiative to standardize reporting of international trade data.

        Geographic support.--The activity's goal is to determine the correct
    location of every business establishment, farm, and residence in the
    U.S. and its territories. The activity's major components include the
    Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER)
    data base and the Master Address File (MAF). TIGER provides maps and
    other geographic information; MAF provides residential addresses for the
    Nation. TIGER and MAF are important because they provide essential
    information and products for conducting many of the Bureau's programs.

        Data processing systems.--This activity provides for the purchasing
    or renting of hardware and software needed for the Bureau's general
    purpose computing facilities. In 1999, data processing systems will
    continue to provide automated systems support for the 1997 Economic
    Censuses and the 2000 Decennial Census.

        Performance measures.--Activities under the Periodic Censuses and
    Program account support two Stragetic Themes of the Department of
    Commerce. The Strategic Theme ``Economic Infrastructure'' of the
    Department of Commerce includes the Bureau of the Census' goal to
    ``Improve national and local census and survey data through better
    business practices and public cooperation,'' and the Department's
    Strategic Theme ``Science/Technology/Information'' includes the Bureau's
    Goal to ``Provide products and services of greater value and
    satisfaction to Census national and local information base customers.''

        Bureau of Economic Analysis.--The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA),
    a principal Federal statistical agency, provides the most comprehensive
    statistical picture available of U.S. economic activity. It prepares,
    develops, and interprets the national, international, and regional
    economic accounts of the United States. These accounts provide key
    information on economic growth, regional development, and the Nation's
    position in the world economy.

    [[Page 195]]

        BEA's statistics are used in formulating and evaluating national
    economic policy; in planning and formulating Federal budgets, and in
    allocating over $120 billion in Federal funds annually. They are used by
    state and local governments for a variety of planning and analytical
    activities. Because they can have a major impact on interest rates,
    exchange rates, and cost-of-living adjustments, they are also of vital
    interest to businesses for market analysis and decisionmaking and to
    households for financial planning.

        To prepare the accounts, BEA assembles thousands of monthly,
    quarterly, and annual economic data series--ranging from national level
    retail sales to county level wages and salaries--produced largely by
    other government agencies and trade sources, and combines them into
    consistent and comprehensive sets of accounts.
            National economic accounts.--The national accounts are a system
        of economic accounts that detail the relationship between production
        and the incomes generated in production and trace the principal
        economic flows among the major sectors and industries of the
        economy. They are best known by the summary measures gross domestic
        product (GDP), corporate profits, and personal saving. In addition,
        they provide information on the U.S. capital stock by type and
        industry; GDP-by-industry; and through the input-output accounts,
        information on how industries interact--providing inputs to, and
        taking outputs from, each other to produce GDP. The national
        accounts statistics are regarded as the mainstay of macroeconomic
        analysis.
            International economic accounts.--The international transactions
        accounts are a system of economic accounts that provide information
        on international transactions in goods, services, investment income,
        and government and private financial flows. They are best known by
        summary measures such as the balance on goods and services. In
        addition, the accounts provide information on the U.S. international
        investment position, which measures the value of U.S. international
        assets and liabilities and changes in those values. The
        international transactions accounts and the international investment
        position are critical statistical tools used in formulating and
        evaluating international economic policy. BEA's data on direct
        investment--the most detailed data set on the operations of
        multinational companies available among the major industrialized
        nations of the world--are used to assess the vital role these
        companies play in the global economy.
            Regional economic accounts.--The regional accounts are
        consistent with the national accounts and provide detail on economic
        activity by region, state, metropolitan area, and county. More
        specifically, they provide data on total and per capita personal
        income by region, state, metropolitan area, and county and on gross
        state product. The regional accounts statistics are essential to
        state government revenue forecasting and to the allocation of
        Federal funds to the States.
            Analysis and dissemination of data on economic trends.--This
        work consists of the analysis of BEA data on the current economic
        situation, the publication of the Survey of Current Business and
        other BEA publications, the electronic dissemination of data, and
        the provision of BEA information to customers.
            Policy support.--The Economics and Statistics Administration's
        headquarters operation advises the Secretary of Commerce and other
        Government officials on matters related to economic developments and
        forecasts, and the development of options and positions relating to
        both macroeconomic and microeconomic policy.
            Implementing BEA's Strategic Plan.--The dynamic economy of the
        1990's with its dramatic growth in information technology and
        services, has changed so rapidly that our data system has been
        unable to keep pace. Evidence of the serious gaps in our knowledge
        of how the economy is performing is the statistical discrepancy,
        which is the difference between GDP as measured by the final
        expenditures for goods and services produced by the U.S. economy and
        GDP as measured by the costs incurred and incomes earned in the
        production of those goods and services (also described as gross
        domestic income). In theory, these measures should be equal, but in
        recent years, the divergence between them has grown significantly.
        In 1999, BEA will focus on improving its economic accounts by
        updating and expanding the coverage of rapidly changing and hard-to-
        measure economic activities and, in light of changes in tax laws, by
        improving the conversion of payroll and income tax return data to
        match the accounting concepts used to measure gross domestic income.
            Moving to a new computer environment.--Although BEA completed
        the migration from its aging mainframe computer to a new local area
        network (LAN) on schedule, the actual re-engineering of systems is
        still underway. In 1999, BEA will continue to re-engineer work
        processes on the LAN to take full advantage of the efficiencies of
        the new microcomputer environment. The new LAN and the re-engineered
        systems will improve the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of
        BEA's data and will improve accessibility of the data to customers
        through expanded use of the Internet and other electronic gateways.
            Reimbursable.--ESA provides economic and statistical data and
        analyses on a reimbursable and advance payment basis to other
        Federal agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such
        information. Funds received for these services cover the cost of
        performing this work.

        The activities of the International Trade Administration in the
    Department of Commerce are intended to develop the export potential of
    U.S. firms in a manner consistent with national security and foreign and
    economic policy and to promote an improved trade posture for U.S.
    industry.

        Working as a key part of the Government-wide Trade Promotion
    Coordinating Committee, the International Trade Administration (ITA)
    will accomplish this objective by achieving its five major Strategic
    Objectives.

        Strengthen trade advocacy, trade promotion, and the Trade Promotion
    Coordinating Committee (TPCC).--Through the Advocacy Center, which is
    the ``nerve center'' of the TPCC's advocacy network initiative, ITA
    leads the Government-wide effort to develop and to implement interagency
    strategies to help U.S. firms win bids for major projects and commercial
    transactions in foreign markets. In 1999, ITA plans to broaden the
    involvement of TPCC agencies in advocacy activities. ITA also plans to
    continue to focus its programmatic activities and resources on select
    trade promotion functions identified in the TPCC's National Export
    Strategy. The efforts of the TPCC are assisted by the TPCC Secretariat--
    located in the office of the Under Secretary in ITA. The Secretariat is
    responsible for coordinating the implementation and oversight of the
    National Export Strategy.

        Increase trade assistance targeted to small and medium-sized
    businesses.--ITA will continue to provide export assistance to small and
    medium-sized enterprises through a network of domestic and overseas
    field offices.

        More closely align trade objectives with U.S. foreign policy.--Our
    trade and commercial efforts frequently support our foreign policy
    goals. Trade and investment flows can play a significant role in
    facilitating incentives for peace and prospects for sustained economic
    growth and stability. ITA will continue its efforts to provide economic
    incentives to promote these ends.

        Expand trade law enforcement and compliance monitoring.--ITA's
    Import Administration unit impartially enforces U.S. antidumping and
    countervailing duty laws. Our Market Access and Compliance (MAC) unit
    ensures market access, assures full compliance with agreements, and
    identifies priority market access problems, bilaterally or
    multilaterally.

        Continue emphasis on trade with the ``Big Emerging Markets'' without
    losing focus on mature markets.--ITA continues to emphasize field export
    development planning and initiatives in major emerging growth markets.
    In addition, ITA will focus on U.S. companies that are already exporting
    to Western Europe and Canada and assist them in expanding their markets.

        These five major strategic objectives will be accomplished within
    the five major subdivisions of ITA and through a reimbursable program as
    follows:

        Trade Development.--The trade development program assesses the
    competitiveness of various U.S. industries and per

    [[Page 198]]

    forms trade and investment analyses; works with manufacturing and
    service industry associations and firms to identify and to capitalize on
    trade opportunities and to pinpoint and to overcome obstacles to
    increased U.S. exports; articulates U.S. industries' needs, interests
    and concerns to American negotiators of international trade agreements
    and assists in the preparation and implementation of negotiating
    strategies; and conducts export promotion programs directed toward
    industry sectors. Increased emphasis will be placed on sector-specific
    initiatives to improve market access and to ensure compliance with
    international trade agreements.

        Market Access and Compliance.--The Market Access and Compliance Unit
    (MAC) is the U.S. Government's front-line offensive team working to
    unlock foreign markets for American goods and services country-by-
    country and region-by-region. MAC underwent a significant restructuring
    in 1996, and refocused its goals to concentrate on market access issues
    and the development of strategies to overcome market access obstacles
    faced by U.S. businesses. MAC maintains in-depth knowledge of the trade
    policies of our trading partners. It monitors foreign country compliance
    with numerous multilateral and bilateral trade-related agreements,
    identifying compliance problems and other market access obstacles. MAC's
    specialists work with other Government agencies to address barriers
    rapidly, and to ensure that U.S. firms know how to use the market
    opening agreements. It provides information on foreign trade and
    business practices to U.S. firms and works to find opportunities and to
    develop market strategies in traditional markets, the emerging markets
    and, in particular, those identified as the most promising, the Big
    Emerging Markets. MAC's objective is to develop and to update
    continuously current and long-term market access strategies, including
    developing the information needed to conduct trade negotiations to open
    markets. MAC's specialists work hand-in-hand with U.S. business, trade
    associations and other business organizations, Commerce's industry and
    technical specialists, and the U.S. Commercial Service's domestic and
    overseas offices. This unit will continue to provide support for the
    operation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

        Import Administration.--Import Administration investigates
    antidumping and countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with
    applicable U.S. statutes and administers certain other statutory
    programs relating to imports and foreign trade zones.

        U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service.--The U.S. and Foreign
    Commercial Service counsels U.S. businesses on exporting through offices
    in the United States and overseas countries. The program's goals are to
    increase the number of U.S. firms that export and the number of foreign
    markets to which they export; to provide export market information; to
    promote and facilitate participation of U.S. firms in trade shows; and
    to encourage and sponsor additional involvement by private, State and
    local organizations.

        Reimbursable program.--This account includes receipts for services
    rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts received on a cost
    recovery basis from private entities for trade events and export
    information services. ITA proposes to raise fees to offset the costs
    associated with services and products provided. Following a study of
    existing fees in 1998, ITA will increase reimbursable collections by $6
    million in 1999.

        Administration and Executive Direction.--Adminstration and Executive
    Direction provide policy leadership and administration services for the
    other ITA subdivisions. Executive Direction includes the Office of the
    Under Secretary for International Trade, the Deputy Under Secretary for
    International Trade, and subordinate offices covering Legislative and
    Intergovernmental Affairs, Public Affairs, and the Trade Promotion
    Coordinating Committee staff. Administration provides office automation
    and information technology support systems, human resources services,
    financial management services, and general administrative assistance for
    the other ITA subdivisions.

        Activities under the ITA account support two themes of the Commerce
    Strategic Plan:

            (1) Theme: Economic Infrastructure

                                            1997         1998        1999

        The activities of the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) are
    designed to enforce U.S. export trade laws consistent with national
    security, foreign policy, and short supply objectives. The program
    strives to achieve a balance between the interests of U.S. exporters,
    the U.S. economy and U.S. national security requirements.

        Management and policy coordination.--The management and policy
    coordination program controls the development, analysis, coordination,
    and consolidation of policy initiatives and responses within the BXA.
    Under BXA's nonproliferation and export control cooperation mission, BXA
    works directly with government leaders in the Newly Independent States
    (NIS) to develop effective controls on their strategic commodities and
    data.

        An increase is being requested to promote export control cooperation
    with the independent states of the former Soviet Union, the Baltics, and
    Central Europe in order to facilitate legitimate trade and to stop the
    proliferation of sensitive items to rogue states and terrorists. These
    efforts were funded by the Departments of Defense and State in the past.

        Export administration.--The export administration program assures
    that export activity is consistent with national security and foreign
    policy requirements.

        An increase is being requested to provide full year funding to
    administer the on-site inspection requirements imposed on commercial
    chemical manufacturing facilities under the Chemical Weapons Convention
    (CWC). This program was started in 1998 and was partially funded in that
    year. A second increase is being requested to fund fully the increase
    that was approved for partial year funding in 1998 (due to delays in
    passage of implementing legislation) to administer and enforce the
    complex inspections and reporting requirements of the CWC.

        Export enforcement.--The export enforcement program detects and
    prevents the illegal distribution of controlled U.S. goods and technical
    data in violation of the export administration provisions of the U.S.
    Code. Responsibilities also include

    [[Page 200]]

    enforcement of prohibitions against participating in unsanctioned
    boycotts against countries friendly to the United States.

        An increase is being requested for (1) new responsibilities related
    to encryption controls, which were moved from State to BXA by an
    Executive Order; (2) fully staffing field offices for more intensive
    prevention and deterrent enforcement efforts; (3) enhanced preventive
    enforcement to stop and analyze illegal shipments before they reach
    their point of destination; and (4) Fastener Quality Act public safety
    legislation.

        Activities under this account support two themes of the Commerce
    Strategic Plan:

            Theme: U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace

        The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) has the lead role in
    the Federal Government of coordinating all minority business development
    programs. The mission of the Agency is to build and to expand minority
    owned businesses which is critical to the national economy. The agency
    was created to promote private and public sector investment in the
    development of competitive minority-owned businesses in this country.

        Minority Business Development.--This activity provides a variety of
    direct and indirect business services through public/private
    partnerships. MBDA coordinates and leverages resources, expands domestic
    and international market opportunities, collects and disseminates vital
    business information, and provides management and technical assistance.
    MBDA also provides support for research, advocacy, and technology to
    reduce information barriers and improve the participation rate of
    minority-owned businesses in the United States.

        In 1999, MBDA will begin to develop databases from a variety of
    public and private sector sources. These databases will provide timely
    on-line market information to minority business owners concerning
    available business opportunities. Additionally, MBDA will initiate
    several projects with the Small Business Administration that are aimed
    at greater coordination of resources. MBDA will continue reorganizing ef

        National Ocean Service.--These programs provide scientific,
    technical, and management expertise to promote safe navigation; assess
    the health of coastal and marine resources; monitor and protect the
    coastal ocean and global environments; and protect and manage the
    Nation's coastal resources. As part of the Clean Water Initiative,
    increases are proposed for research efforts and Coastal Zone Management
    Enhancement grants to improve support to states and local communities to
    address pollution, pfiesteria and other harmful algal blooms, and other
    symptoms of a degraded coastal ecosystem. Funding within this account
    for the Clean Water Initiative is proposed as part of the Environmental
    Resources Fund for America. This proposal highlights the
    Administration's priority to provide deficit neutral funding for
    investments in many of the Nation's key environmental programs. A
    discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund for America and two other
    funds for research and transportation can be found in Chapter 2 of the
    Budget. A proposal is included for fee collections in conjunction with
    the U.S. Coast Guard for Navigation Services.

    [[Page 203]]

        National Marine Fisheries Service.--These programs provide for the
    management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources and
    their environment, including marine mammals and endangered species.
    Through conservation and wise use, these resources can be managed to
    benefit the Nation on a sustained basis. Increases are proposed to carry
    out the legislative mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
    Conservation and Management Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the
    Marine Mammal Protection Act. These increases will support the NOAA
    Strategic Plan goals to build sustainable fisheries, recover protected
    species and promote healthy coastal ecosystems. A proposal is included
    for fee collections from U.S. commercial fishermen for fisheries
    management and enforcement services.

        Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.--These programs provide
    the critical environmental research and technology needed to improve
    NOAA services (weather warnings and forecasts, solar-terrestrial
    services, climate predictions, and marine services) to enable the Nation
    to balance a growing economy with effective management and prediction of
    our environment and natural resources. To accomplish these goals, OAR
    supports a network of Federal scientists and laboratories (the
    Environmental Research Laboratories) and university/private-sector
    researchers through the National Sea Grant College Program, National
    Undersea Research Program, and Joint Cooperative Institutes. OAR
    provides the scientific basis for national policy formulation in key
    environmental areas e.g., climate change, air quality, stratospheric
    ozone depletion, marine biotechnology, aquaculture, and environmental
    observing technologies. Funding to support Presidential initiatives is
    also proposed for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the
    Environment program, the Climate and Global Change Program and the High
    Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) Program. Funding for the
    Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research is proposed as part of the
    Research Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration's
    priority to provide needed and sustained investments in important
    Federal research programs on a deficit neutral basis. A discussion of
    the Research Fund for America, and two other funds for the environment
    and transportation, can be found in Chapter 2 of the Budget.

        National Weather Service.--These programs provide timely and
    accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings,
    forecasts, and planning information to ensure the safety of the
    population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic
    efficiency of the Nation. NOAA will continue the NWS operational
    transition necessary to assimilate the new technologies and the
    associated work force restructuring for future operations.

        National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service.--
    These programs provide for operation of environmental polar-orbiting and
    geostationary satellites; and for the collection and archiving of global
    environmental data and information; and services for distribution to
    users in commerce, industry, agriculture, science and engineering, the
    general public and Federal, State and local agencies.

        Program Support.--These programs provide for overall NOAA
    management, NOAA's share of the regional Administrative Support Centers,
    and aircraft to support NOAA missions.

        Facilities.--This program provides for repair and modification to
    existing facilities; facilities planning and design; and environmental
    compliance.

        Fleet Maintenance and Planning.--This program provides for the
    repair and maintenance of vessels, including related equipment to
    maintain the existing fleet and for the planning of future
    modernization.

        Foreign Fishing Observer Fund.--This fund is financed through
    collections from foreign vessel owners who fish within the U.S.
    Exclusive Economic Zone. Collections to the fund are used by the
    Secretary of Commerce to pay the salaries of observers and program
    support personnel and the costs of data management and analysis of the
    observer program. The observers collect scientific information on the
    foreign catch and monitor compliance with provisions of the Magnuson-
    Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 as amended.

        GOES Satellite Contingency Fund.--This fund was established in 1992
    to cover the procurement of gap filler satellites, launch vehicles,
    payments to foreign governments and other related costs for the
    successful completion of the GOES I-M series of spacecraft. All funds
    will be expended by the end of 1998.

        Aircraft Procurement and Modernization.--This fund was established
    in 1994 to cover the procurement of a high altitude research jet
    aircraft. All funds will be expended by the end of 1998.

    Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 and the Information
    Technology Management Reform Act of 1996. This account is consistent
    with and supports the Administration's fixed asset policy by seeking
    advanced appropriations for multi-year projects. The Administration
    supports full funding as part of an ongoing attempt to improve cost and
    performance of agency procurements. The Administration's goal is to
    ensure that capital assets support the core/priority mission of the
    agency; the assets have demonstrated a projected return on investment
    that is clearly articulated; cost-benefits of acquisition have been
    evaluated; and that implementation helps ensure accountability.

      *Advance appropriations are not requested for NPOESS and Fleet which are not yet in an acquisition phase and are thus
    shown as non-adds.
      Note: Funding included in this account is for acquisition only. Operations funding associated with these programs is
    requested in the ``Operations, Research, and Facilities'' account.

        The projects included in this account support NOAA's operational
    mission across all line offices. In particular, projects related to the
    National Weather Service modernization and on-going operations are
    included. Increased funds are proposed for the current and follow-on
    series of geostationary satellites. Increased funds are also requested
    for the Department of Commerce's continued participation in the tri-
    agency converged polar satellite program. These funds were previously
    requested in the Operations, research, and facilities account. Funds are
    also requested to complete construction of a Fisheries laboratory in
    Santa Cruz, California.

        An amount equal to 30 percent of the gross receipts from customs
    duties on imported fishery products is transferred to the Department of
    Commerce annually.

        The American Fisheries Promotion Act (AFPA) of 1980 authorized a
    grants program for fisheries research and development projects and a
    National Fisheries Research and Development Program to be carried out
    with Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) funds. These funds are used to enhance
    the productivity and improve the sustainable yield of domestic marine
    fisheries resources.

        Fisheries Promotional Fund.--The Fish and Seafood Promotion Act of
    1986 (Title II of Public Law 99-659) provided for the establishment of
    the National Seafood Promotional Council and the Fisheries Promotional
    Fund to carry out the provisions of the Act. The National Council was
    terminated on December 31, 1991. Reauthorization is not proposed and any
    activity will be limited to the administration of unobligated balances
    and contract monitoring from previous years' appropriations.

        The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 stipulated that sums recovered from
    awards or settlements for natural resource damages to NOAA trust
    resources shall be retained in a revolving trust account to permit NOAA
    to carry out (1) oil and hazardous materials contingency planning and
    response, (2) natural resource damage assessment, and (3) restoration or
    replacement of injured or lost natural resources. For a comprehensive
    description of the Prince William Sound Restoration Program, refer to
    the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Natural Resource Damage Assessment
    account. The 1998 and 1999 estimates of budget authority transferred
    from other accounts are preliminary and subject to change. NOAA will
    utilize funds transferred to this account to respond to hazardous
    materials spills in the coastal and marine environments, by conducting
    damage assessments, providing scientific support during litigation, and
    using recovered damages to restore injured resources.

                                        ====================================

        Prior to the enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
    (OBRA) of 1990, about two-thirds of Office operating costs were
    recovered through user fee revenues. This Act established a surcharge on
    patent user fees as a substitute for General Fund revenues.

        Fees in 1998 are estimated to be $849 million, of which $92 million
    has not been appropriated to the Office, contributing to Federal deficit
    reduction. With the surcharge expiring at the end of 1998, legislation
    will be proposed to set the Office's base fee structure for 1999. Based
    on that proposal, fees in 1999 are estimated to be $836 million in new
    collections and $66 million from previously unavailable collections, for
    total resources of $902 million. Of this, $116 million will be returned
    to the Treasury for deficit reduction. If the PTO legislative proposal
    to revise patent fees is not enacted into law, then the Administration
    will need to reduce the proposed rescission.

        The following table shows the total proposed program and FTE levels
    for the Patent and Trademark Office.

        During 1999, the Office will operate through three distinct business
    lines:

        Patent Business.--The activities under this business include all
    functions in the patent application processing pipeline, including the
    initial administrative examination of patent applications, the
    processing of patent applications filed under the Patent Cooperation
    Treaty, the formal examination of patent applications to determine the
    patentability of a claimed invention, the post-examination processing
    and printing of allowed patents, the review for quality, and the quasi-
    judicial review in appeal and interference proceedings. Other ancillary
    functions of the Patent Business are the classification, documentation
    and search systems, and the maintenance of a scientific and technical
    library.

        The 1999 program level provides adequate resources for achieving the
    principal goal of achieving 12-month cycle time for 75 percent of
    inventions filed by enlarging the cadre of examiners, streamlining
    application processing, incrementally automating patent processing and
    implementing process reengineering.

        Key Patent Business quantity and quality measures are:

                                                     1996 actual 1997 actual  1998 est.   1999 est.

        months).....................................        20.8        22.2        22.7        20.9

        Trademark Business.--The activities under this business include the
    examination of trademark applications to determine whether the statutory
    criteria for the Federal registration of a trade or service mark are
    met. The Office issues notices of allowance and certificates of
    registration based on a trademark attorney's determination. Trademark
    application processing functions also include inter parte proceedings
    involving oppositions, cancellations, and ex parte proceedings.

        The 1999 program level provides for staffing increases to achieve
    the primary business goal of reducing pendency from filing to first
    action to 3 months. The Trademark Business proposes to achieve this goal
    by focusing on the process, the customer and the employee. Planned
    activities for 1999 include the implementation of process reengineering
    and leveraging information technology to incrementally automate the
    examination process. Focused training of employees and improving
    communication with customers are also an integral part of the activities

        Information Dissemination Business.--The activities under this
    business serve the fundamental purpose of patent and trademark laws to
    disclose new technologies and to provide public notice concerning
    intellectual property rights. Information dissemination functions
    include the maintenance of public search rooms, the provision of copies
    and certified copies of patents, trademark registrations, and other
    official documents and the recordation of assignments of patent and
    trademark rights.

        The 1999 program level will enable customers to use the Internet to
    request the status of their patent and trademark applications, to place
    orders and receive products, and to access patent and trademark data
    bases when they are in a Patent and Trademark Depository Library.

        Policy.--The primary function of this activity is to advise, assist,
    promote and provide expertise in the area of intellectual property
    rights. The 1999 program level provides resources for the Office to
    pursue administrative and legislative reforms that resolve problems,
    continue improvements and maximize efficiencies to ensure the continued
    vitality of the patent and trademark systems.

        Corporate Support.--This activity includes the administrative and
    infrastructure functions in support of the business and policy
    operations of the Office. The 1999 commitments address the Office's
    immediate and long-term space requirements, and maintenance of the
    information technology infrastructure necessary for patent, trademark
    and information dissemination operations and provision of essential
    administrative, financial and human resource services.

    continue to cover the costs of patent processing and related services.

        The Technology Administration (TA) is the focal point for civilian
    technology and competitiveness issues within the Administration. TA is
    the primary agency within the Federal Government with the sole mission
    to work in partnership with the private sector to improve U.S.
    industrial competitiveness and to exercise leadership as the private
    sector's advocate.

        The Under Secretary for Technology oversees three agencies within
    TA: the Office of Technology Policy (OTP), the National Institute of
    Standards and Technology, and the National Technical Information
    Service.

        The Under Secretary and the Office of Technology Policy are
    responsible for coordinating a National technology policy. The Under
    Secretary fulfills this role in part by chairing the high-level
    coordinating committee overseeing the Partnership for a New Generation
    of Vehicles Initiative (PNGV), a unique Government-wide, 10-year
    partnership between the Federal Government and the big three automakers.
    The Under Secretary serves on the Executive Committee of the Committee
    on Technological Innovation (CTI) within the President's National
    Science and Technology Council. The CTI pursues industry defined and led
    activities relating to research and development in the areas of
    materials, construction and building, manufacturing infrastructure,
    electronics and automotive technologies.

        OTP works to promote technology development and commercialization by
    serving as the Federal Government's primary advocate for innovation and
    industrial competitiveness, analyst of civilian technology issues, and
    incubator for new models of domestic and international technology
    cooperation. OTP administers the National Medal of Technology, a
    Presidential award program that celebrates America's spirit of
    innovation and recognizes excellence in technological innovation and

    strengthen its experimental program to foster the development of
    technology assets in states and regions traditionally under-represented
    in Federal research and development.

        TA also houses the Office of Air and Space Commercialization which
    provides advice and counsel for promoting economic conditions that
    foster commercial space development and provides assistance in
    coordinating the Department's activities related to the commercial space
    industry, ecouraging private sector investment in space.

        development and demonstration of evaluation techniques, testing
        methods, and standards to enable usable, reliable, and interoperable
        computer and telecommunications systems; and provides leadership and
        collaborative research in the application and use of mathematics,
        statistics and computer science, and support of computing and
        telecommunications services.
            Technology assistance.--This provides a central source of
        information and assistance for U.S. industry, academia, and
        government regarding national and international standardization
        certification, and conformity assessment activities and provides, on
        a reimbursable basis, centralized access to critically needed
        services, including Standard Reference Materials, Standard Reference
        Data, calibration and legal metrology services, and laboratory
        accreditation programs.
            National Quality Program.--This extends U.S. competitiveness
        through quality technology development, information transfer, and
        administration of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
            Research support activities.--This area groups centrally managed
        activities which provide support to all other NIST programs. This
        support includes competence development in NIST mission-oriented
        areas of research, high caliber postdoctoral scientists and
        engineers, and computing support for research programs.

        Funding for NIST's Scientific and Technical Research Services is
    proposed as part of the Research Fund for America. This proposal
    highlights the Administration's priority to provide needed and sustained
    investments in important Federal research programs on a deficit neutral
    basis. A discussion of the Research Fund for America, and two other
    funds for the environment and transportation, can be found in Chapter 6.

        Performance Measures.--The activities under this account support two
    themes of the Commerce Strategic Plan:

            Themes: Economic Infrastructure and Science/Technology/
        Information

        Provide technical leadership for the Nation's measurement and
    standards infrastructure. NIST is using the ``alternative format'' for
    GPRA implemention, review/external assessment and on-going economic
    impact studies of its R&D activities for 1997-1999.

    industry and fosters the development of broad-based high-risk technology
    by industry.

        Extramural programs.
            Advanced technology program.--The ATP is the focus of a national
        effort to help accelerate the commercialization of broad-based, high
        risk technologies with significant commercial potential. The ATP is
        a merit-based, rigorously competitive, cost-shared partnership
        program which provides assistance to U.S. businesses and joint R&D
        ventures to help them improve their competitive position. The
        program resources will be used for general and focused technology
        areas chosen in cooperation with industry and having significant
        potential for stimulating U.S. economic growth.
            Manufacturing extension partnership.--The MEP program emphasizes
        NIST's role in transferring developed technologies to small- and
        medium-sized business through Government-industry partnerships and
        extension services and by improving the competitiveness of existing
        American business.

        Performance Measures.--The activities under this account support one
    theme of the Commerce Strategic Plan:

            Theme: Economic Infrastructure
            To stimulate U.S. economic growth by developing high-risk and
        enabling technologies through industry-driven cost-shared
        partnerships, and to support a nationwide system of manufacturing
        extension services that will improve the global competitiveness of

        This appropriation supports the renovation of NIST's current
    buildings and laboratories to comply with more stringent science and
    engineering requirements.

        Funding for construction of NIST research facilities is proposed as
    part of the Research Fund for America. This proposal highlights the
    Administration's priority to provide needed and sustained investments in
    important Federal research programs on a deficit neutral basis. A
    discussion of the Research Fund for America can be found in Chapter 6.

        The request includes funding for construction of an Advanced
    Measurement Laboratory at NIST's main campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
    The 5-wing complex will provide stringent controls for particulate
    matter, temperature, vibration, and humidity that are unattainable in
    current NIST buildings, and equal or better than similar labs overseas.
    Such conditions are vital for NIST to keep pace with rapid developments
    in semiconductors, precision instruments, industrial robots, computers,
    chemicals, pharmaceuticals, building materials, and emerging
    technologies requiring molecular and atomic-level precision.

        The total project cost of $218 million is based on single phase
    construction over four years from existing designs. Funding is derived
    from $63 million in fiscal year 1998 funds, $40 million in fiscal year
    1999, and advance appropriations of $40 million in 2000, $40 million in
    2001, and $35 million in 2002. Projected completion is in late 2002.

        The National Telecommunications and Information Administration
    (NTIA) is the principal executive branch adviser to the President on
    domestic and international telecommunications policy. Additionally, it
    manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and
    performs extensive research in telecommunications sciences.

        Domestic and international policies.--
            Domestic policies.--In 1999, NTIA will continue to develop and
        advocate policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications
        services and markets so that the benefits of telecommunications are
        more widely available to consumers. NTIA will advise White House
        officials, coordinate with other Executive Branch agencies, and
        participate in relevant Congressional actions and interagency and
        FCC proceedings on a host of issues. NTIA will focus on developing
        events, such as implementation of the 1996 Telecommunications Act.
        NTIA will develop policies promoting universal, available and
        affordable services to all Americans, and competition in
        telecommunications and information markets. NTIA will make policy
        recommendations in such areas as traditional common carrier
        networks, wireless services and products, the mass media (including
        advanced television), and information society issues arising from
        the Internet and electronic commerce. NTIA will also develop and
        implement policies required to safeguard personal privacy.
            International policies.--In 1999, NTIA will continue to
        formulate and advocate policies for the advancement of U.S.
        telecommunications priorities in the international
        telecommunications policy and regulatory arena. NTIA will continue
        to forcefully encourage the broad liberalization now taking hold
        across the globe and creating significant opportunities for a
        variety of U.S. telecommunications interests and enterprises. NTIA
        will continue to place great emphasis on the international
        development of electronic commerce as an essential element of the
        emerging information society. In addition, NTIA will conduct
        necessary implementation or other follow-up to the 1998
        International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Plenipotentiary
        Conference and the World Trade Organization (WTO's) Group on Basic
        Telecommunications (GBT) agreement. NTIA will continue its advocacy
        of U.S. interests in other international and regional fora affecting
        telecommunications standards, infrastructure development and market
        access. NTIA also will represent executive branch concerns related
        to international telecommunications regulation before the FCC. In
        coordination with the Department of State and the FCC, the agency
        will continue to discharge statutory responsibilities for oversight
        of the Communications Satellite Corporation (COMSAT) in its role as
        U.S. Signatory to INTELSAT and INMARSAT as these two organizations
        consider options for restructuring.

        Spectrum Management.--
            Spectrum plans and policies.--In 1999, NTIA will continue to
        manage and resolve problems associated with the government's
        spectrum. In coordination with the FCC, NTIA will conduct long-range
        strategic and federal private sector planning; prepare for,
        participate in, and implement results of regional, national, and
        international conferences on spectrum use and allocation; and
        identify solutions to deficiencies in the emergency communications
        planning process in support of the National Communication System
        (NCS). NTIA will maintain the openness program that allows the
        private sector to obtain information on the Federal Government's
        spectrum use, comment on spectrum sharing issues, and provide
        information on innovative radio communications developments.
            Spectrum management, analysis and operations.--In 1999, NTIA
        will continue to authorize frequency assignments, review and certify
        spectrum for proposed Federal radio communications systems, conduct
        frequency band studies, and operate automated data facilities to
        support these operations. NTIA will continue designing an automated
        Federal spectrum management system to improve the process of
        authorizing Federal frequency usage.

        Telecommunication Sciences Research.--
            Spectrum research and analysis.--In 1999, NTIA will resolve
        certain frequency management problems by measuring environmental
        radio signals. The agency will study and characterize the
        propagation of radio waves in outdoor, man-made environments for
        personal communications services (PCS); and study/characterize the
        transmission channel for within-building, wireless local area
        networks.
            Systems and networks research and analysis.--In 1999, NTIA will
        prepare and coordinate proposed domestic and international
        telecommunications standards, develop and demonstrate user-friendly
        ways to assess the performance of industry and Government
        telecommunications networks, evaluate future technologies that may
        facilitate competition in the U.S. telecommunications industry,
        promote international trade opportunities for U.S.
        telecommunications firms and improve the cost effectiveness of
        Government telecommunications use.

        Performance measures.--Activities under this account support the
    three themes (competitiveness, science and technology, and effective
    management of our nation's resources) of the Commerce Strategic Plan,
    including goals on developing and promoting policies and plans for use
    of the radio spectrum and promoting advanced telecommunications and
    information technology.

            Goal: Implement policy and plans to manage and conserve Federal
        use of the radio spectrum considering the national interest.
            Output: Identify new technologies and their performance
        limitations and applicability to government operations.

                                            1997         1998        1999

        The Information Infrastructure Grants program (Telecommunications
    and Information Infrastructure Assistance program) is facilitating the
    development of the national telecommunications and information
    infrastructure by promoting the widespread availability and use of
    advanced telecommunications technologies to enhance the delivery of
    social services, such as education, health care, and public safety; and
    is supporting the formation of a nationwide, multimedia, high-speed,
    interactive infrastructure of varied information technologies. The
    program greatly leverages the Federal investment by providing grants for
    outstanding projects that can serve as national models, evaluating the
    projects, and broadly disseminating the project findings. By focusing on
    underserved communities in both rural and urban areas, the program helps
    to reduce disparities in access to the developing national information
    infrastructure.

        [Sec. 209. (a) Congress finds that--
            (1) it is the constitutional duty of the Congress to ensure that
        the decennial enumeration of the population is conducted in a manner
        consistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States;
            (2) the sole constitutional purpose of the decennial enumeration
        of the population is the apportionment of Representatives in
        Congress among the several States;
            (3) section 2 of the 14th article of amendment to the
        Constitution clearly states that Representatives are to be
        ``apportioned among the several States according to their respective
        numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State'';
             (4) article I, section 2, clause 3 of the Constitution clearly
        requires an ``actual Enumeration'' of the population, and section
        195 of title 13, United States Code, clearly provides ``Except for
        the determination of population for purposes of apportionment of
        Representatives in Congress among the several States, the Secretary
        shall, if he considers it feasible, authorize the use of the
        statistical method known as `sampling' in carrying out the
        provisions of this title.'';
            (5) the decennial enumeration of the population is one of the
        most critical constitutional functions our Federal Government
        performs;
            (6) it is essential that the decennial enumeration of the
        population be as accurate as possible, consistent with the
        Constitution and laws of the United States;
            (7) the use of statistical sampling or statistical adjustment in
        conjunction with an actual enumeration to carry out the census with
        respect to any segment of the population poses the risk of an
        inaccurate, invalid, and unconstitutional census;
            (8) the decennial enumeration of the population is a complex and
        vast undertaking, and if such enumeration is conducted in a manner
        that does not comply with the requirements of the Constitution or
        laws of the United States, it would be impracticable for the States
        to obtain, and the courts of the United States to provide,
        meaningful relief after such enumeration has been conducted; and
            (9) Congress is committed to providing the level of funding that
        is required to perform the entire range of constitutional census
        activities, with a particular emphasis on accurately enumerating all
        individuals who have historically been undercounted, and toward this
        end, Congress expects--
                (A) aggressive and innovative promotion and outreach
            campaigns in hard-to-count communities;
                (B) the hiring of enumerators from within those communities;
                (C) continued cooperation with local government on address
            list development; and
                (D) maximized census employment opportunities for
            individuals seeking to make the transition from welfare to work.
        (b) Any person aggrieved by the use of any statistical method in
    violation of the Constitution or any provision of law (other than this
    Act), in connection with the 2000 or any later decennial census, to
    determine the population for purposes of the apportionment or
    redistricting of members in Congress, may in a civil action obtain
    declaratory, injunctive, and any other appropriate relief against the
    use of such method.
        (c) For purposes of this section--
            (1) the use of any statistical method as part of a dress
        rehearsal or other simulation of a census in preparation for the use
        of such method, in a decennial census, to determine the population
        for purposes of the apportionment or redistricting of members in
        Congress shall be considered the use of such method in connection
        with that census; and
            (2) the report ordered by title VIII of Public Law 105-18 and
        the Census 2000 Operational Plan shall be deemed to constitute final
        agency action regarding the use of statistical methods in the 2000
        decennial census, thus making the question of their use in such
        census sufficiently concrete and final to now be reviewable in a
        judicial proceeding.
        (d) For purposes of this section, an aggrieved person (described in
    subsection (b)) includes--
            (1) any resident of a State whose congressional representation
        or district could be changed as a result of the use of a statistical
        method challenged in the civil action;
            (2) any Representative or Senator in Congress; and
            (3) either House of Congress.
        (e)(1) Any action brought under this section shall be heard and
    determined by a district court of three judges in accordance with
    section 2284 of title 28, United States Code. The chief judge of the
    United States court of appeals for each circuit shall, to the extent
    practicable and consistent with the avoidance of unnecessary delay,
    consolidate, for all purposes, in one district court within that
    circuit, all actions pending in that circuit under this section. Any
    party to an action under this section shall be precluded from seeking
    any consolidation of that action other than is provided in this
    paragraph. In selecting the district court in which to consolidate such
    actions, the chief judge shall consider the convenience of the parties
    and witnesses and efficient conduct of such actions. Any final order or
    injunction of a United States district court that is issued pursuant to
    an action brought under this section shall be reviewable by appeal
    directly to the Supreme Court of the United States. Any such appeal
    shall be taken by a notice of appeal filed within 10 days after such
    order is entered; and the jurisdictional statement shall be filed within
    30 days after such order is entered. No stay of an order issued pursuant
    to an action brought under this section may be issued by a single
    Justice of the Supreme Court.
        (2) It shall be the duty of a United States district court hearing
    an action brought under this section and the Supreme Court of the United
    States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the greatest possible
    extent the disposition of any such matter.
        (f) Any agency or entity within the executive branch having
    authority with respect to the carrying out of a decennial census may in
    a civil action obtain a declaratory judgment respecting whether or not
    the use of a statistical method, in connection with such census, to
    determine the population for the purposes of the apportionment or
    redistricting of members in Congress is forbidden by the Constitution
    and laws of the United States.
        (g) The Speaker of the House of Representatives or the Speaker's
    designee or designees may commence or join in a civil action, for and on
    behalf of the House of Representatives, under any applicable law, to
    prevent the use of any statistical method, in connection with the
    decennial census, to determine the population for purposes of

    [[Page 223]]

    the apportionment or redistricting of members in Congress. It shall be
    the duty of the Office of the General Counsel of the House of
    Representatives to represent the House in such civil action, according
    to the directions of the Speaker. The Office of the General Counsel of
    the House of Representatives may employ the services of outside counsel
    and other experts for this purpose.
        (h) For purposes of this section and section 210--
            (1) the term ``statistical method'' means an activity related to
        the design, planning, testing, or implementation of the use of
        representative sampling, or any other statistical procedure,
        including statistical adjustment, to add or subtract counts to or
        from the enumeration of the population as a result of statistical
        inference; and
            (2) the term ``census'' or ``decennial census'' means a
        decennial enumeration of the population.
        (i) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize the use of
    any statistical method, in connection with a decennial census, for the
    apportionment or redistricting of members in Congress.
        (j) Sufficient funds appropriated under this Act or under any other
    Act for purposes of the 2000 decennial census shall be used by the
    Bureau of the Census to plan, test, and become prepared to implement a
    2000 decennial census, without using statistical methods, which shall
    result in the percentage of the total population actually enumerated
    being as close to 100 percent as possible. In both the 2000 decennial
    census, and any dress rehearsal orother simulation made in preparation
    for the 2000 decennial census, the number of persons enumerated without
    using statistical methods must be publicly available for all levels of
    census geography which are being released by the Bureau of the Census
    for (1) all data releases before January 1, 2001, (2) the data contained
    in the 2000 decennial census Public Law 94-171 data file released for
    use in redistricting, (3) the Summary Tabulation File One (STF-1) for
    the 2000 decennial census, and (4) the official populations of the
    States transmitted from the Secretary of Commerce through the President
    to the Clerk of the House used to reapportion the districts of the House
    among the States as a result of the 2000 decennial census.
    Simultaneously with any other release or reporting of any of the
    information described in the preceding sentence through other means,
    such information shall be made available to the public on the Internet.
    These files of the Bureau of the Census shall be available concurrently
    to the release of the original files to the same recipients, on
    identical media, and at a comparable price. They shall contain the
    number of persons enumerated without using statistical methods and any
    additions or subtractions thereto. These files shall be based on data
    gathered and generated by the Bureau of the Census in its official
    capacity.
        (k) This section shall apply in fiscal year 1998 and succeeding
    fiscal years.]
        [Sec. 210. (a) There shall be established a board to be known as the
    Census Monitoring Board (hereinafter in this section referred to as the

    to classification and General Schedule pay rates).
        (4) The Administrator of the General Services Administration, in

        (B) The Board or the co-chairmen acting jointly may secure directly
    from any other Federal agency, including the White House, all
