The Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA) established an
independent Office of Compliance to apply the rights and protections of
the following eleven labor and employment statutes to covered employees
within the legislative branch: the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970, chapter 71 of title 5 of the U.S. Code (relating

they may pursue claims under the laws applied by the CAA. The Office is
headed by a five-member Board of Directors, who are appointed jointly by
the House and Senate majority and minority leadership.

The Judiciary Office Building Development Act, Public Law 100-480,
among other purposes, authorizes the Architect of the Capitol to
contract for the design and construction of a building adjacent to Union
Station in the District of Columbia to be leased to the Judicial Branch
of the United States. This schedule reflects the costs associated with
the construction of the building. Costs of construction were financed by
an initial $125 million of Federal agency debt (sales price less
unamortized discount) issued in 1989.

Estimates prepared by the Legislative Branch assumed the financial
arrangements to be a lease-purchase, which would distribute outlays
associated with acquisition of the building over a period of thirty
years. However, the arrangements involve federally guaranteed financing
and other characteristics that make them substantively the same as
direct federal construction, financed by direct federal borrowing.
Because estimated expenditures of the Legislative Branch are required to
be included in the budget as submitted and without change, this separate
schedule is included as an adjustment to reflect direct construction
costs and associated interest costs, consistent with standard budget
concepts and scoring conventions.

Estimates shown are consistent with the requirements of the Budget
Enforcement Act and are presented with the agreement of the Budget and
Appropriations Committees.

[Sec. 207. (a) Establishment.--Effective October 1, 1997, there is
established in the Treasury of the United States a revolving fund to be
known as the Cooperative Acquisitions Program Revolving Fund (in this
section referred to as the ``revolving fund''). Moneys in the revolving
fund shall be available to the Librarian of Congress, without fiscal
year limitation, for financing the cooperative acquisitions program (in
this section referred to as the ``program'') under which the Library
acquires foreign publications and research materials on behalf of
participating institutions on a cost-recovery basis. Obligations under
the revolving fund are limited to amounts specified in the
appropriations Act for that purpose for any fiscal year.
(b) Amounts Deposited.--The revolving fund shall consist of--
(1) any amounts appropriated by law for the purposes of the
revolving fund;
(2) any amounts held by the Librarian as of October 1, 1997 or
the date of enactment, whichever is later, that were collected as
payment for the Library's indirect costs of the program; and
(3) the difference between (A) the total value of the supplies,

amounts needed for activities financed by the revolving fund, shall be
deposited in the Treasury of the United States as miscellaneous
receipts. Amounts needed for activities financed by the revolving fund
means the direct and indirect costs of the program, including the costs
of purchasing, shipping, binding of books and other library materials;
supplies, materials, equipment and services needed in support of the
program; salaries and benefits; general overhead; and travel.
(e) Annual Report.--Not later than March 31 of each year, the
Librarian of Congress shall prepare and submit to Congress an audited
financial statement for the revolving fund for the preceding fiscal
year. The audit shall be conducted in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards for financial audits issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States.]

The Office of the Superintendent of Documents operates under a
separate appropriation, which provides funds for: (1) the mailing for
Members of Congress and other Government agencies of certain Government
publications, as authorized by law; (2) the distribution of Government
publications to designated depository libraries, including cost-
effective methods of electronic dissemination to depository libraries
such as CD-ROMS, and on-demand delivery of full text or image files; (3)
the compilation of catalogs and indexes of Government publications; and
(4) the distribution of Government publications in the International
Exchange Program. These four functions are related to the publication
activity of other agencies and to the demands of the public, Members of
Congress, and depository libraries. Consequently, the Office of the
Superintendent of Documents can exercise little control over the volume
of work which it may be called upon to perform. A description of these
four functions follows:

Distribution for other Government agencies and Members of
Congress.--The Office of Superintendent of Documents maintains mailing
lists and mails, at the request of Government agencies and Members of
Congress, certain publications specified by public law.

Depository library distribution.--As required, Government
publications are supplied to libraries which are designated as
depositories for Government publications. This includes cost-effective
methods of electronic dissemination to depository libraries such as CD-
ROMS, and on-demand delivery of full text or image files.

Cataloging and indexing.--The Office of Superintendent of Documents
is charged with preparing catalogs and indexes of all publications
issued by the Federal Government. The principal publication is the
``Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications.''

International exchange.--The Office of Superintendent of Documents
distributes Government publications to foreign governments which agree,
as indicated by the Library of Congress, to send to the United States
similar publications of their governments for delivery to the Library of
Congress.

The United States Tax Court is a Court of record established under
Article I of the Constitution of the United States. The Court is
composed of a Chief Judge and eighteen judges. Judges of the Tax Court
are appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, for 15 year terms. Decisions by the Court are reviewable by
the United States Courts of Appeals and, if certiorari is granted, by
the Supreme Court.

In their judicial duties, the judges are assisted by Senior Judges,
who participate in the adjudication of regular cases, and by Special
Trial Judges, who hear small tax cases and certain regular cases
assigned to them by the Chief Judge.

The Court conducts trial sessions throughout the United States,
including Hawaii and Alaska.

The matters over which the Court has jurisdiction are set forth in
various sections of Title 26 of the U.S. Code.

For 1999, the Court proposes a trial program of 340 weeks consisting
of 150 weeks of regular trial sessions, 90 weeks of small tax case
sessions, and 100 weeks of lengthy special sessions. Trials are held in
approximately 80 cities throughout the United States.

Statistics on the actual and estimated number of cases before the
court are presented in the following tabulation:

1997 actual 1998 est. 1999 est.

disciplinary matters involving practitioners admitted to practice before
the Court.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise Fund.--The Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise
Fund and, the permanent committee for the Oliver Wendell Holmes devise
to administer it were created by an act of Congress, approved August 5,
1955 (69 Stat. 533).

The current program is devoted primarily to the preparation of a
History of the Supreme Court of the United States, of which the first
two volumes were published by the Macmillan Co. in 1972. The third,
fourth and fifth volumes were published in August 1974, September 1981,
and August 1985, respectively. The sixth and seventh volumes were
published in 1988. The eighth volume was published in 1993. Additional
volumes are nearing completion.

Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.--The Commission on
Security and Cooperation in Europe is authorized and directed to monitor
the acts of the signatories which reflect compliance with or violation
of the articles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and
Cooperation in Europe, with particular regard to the provisions relating
to Cooperation in Humanitarian Fields. The law establishing the
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe also mandated it to
monitor and encourage U.S. Government and private activities designed to
expand East-West trade and the exchange of people and ideas. The
Commission will receive semiannual reports from the President on the
signatories' compliance with the Final Act and on U.S. activities in
trade and cultural/humanitarian exchange and it will itself make
advisory reports to the Congress on the progress of implementation.

The Commission is made up of nine Senators, nine Members of the

was created in the Legislative Branch. The Tribunal is composed of three
commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent of
the Senate for staggered terms of 7 years each.

The Tribunal's statutory responsibilities are: (a) to make
determinations concerning copyright royalty rates (1) in the area of
cable television (17 U.S.C. 111), (2) for phonorecords (17 U.S.C. 115),
(3) for coin-operated phonorecord players (jukeboxes) (17 U.S.C. 116),
