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
[[Page 1034]]
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 1999 Budget marks the first year that construction of the ADHS
would be funded solely from the Highway Trust Fund under the
Administration's National Economic Crossroads Efficiency Act (NEXTEA)
legislation. This bill includes $2.19 billion for the ADHS from FY 1998
to FY 2003. Annual proposed funding levels are $200 million, $290
million, $350 million, $400 million, $450 million, and $500 million,
respectively. The ARC would exercise programmatic and administrative
control over these funds, as it has with appropriated funds.
The cumulative status of the system of roads, including mileage
prefinanced by the States, follows:
1997 actual 1998 est.* 1999 est.*

====================================
* Includes proposed NEXTEA funds.
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 1998, the Commission allocated a minimum
of 30% of area development funding specifically to these 97 severely
distressed counties in addition to the overall State allocations.
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 13 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 and include specifically allocated area
development funding. In 1998, 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 are in a finish-up mode and will not receive
designated funding after 1998. There is strong evidence that the work
encompassed in these initiatives has become imbedded in each state's
area development strategy. The fourth initiative, ``creating
entrepreneurial economies,'' is the centerpiece policy of the Federal
Co-Chairman and received an allocation from the overall area development
funding of $5 million in FY 1998. A similar allocation is expected for
1999.
The budget for 1999 provides $57 million for area development.
The approximate project workload follows:
1997 actual 1998 est. 1999 est.
Area development projects........... 353 425 425
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. Funding for LDDs was increased to $5 million in 1998
to reflect their increased role in strategic planning and performance
measurement efforts. Technical assistance serves to strengthen the state
and local governments, LDDs and non-profit organizations in the Region.
The 1999 Budget provides $5 million for the LDDs and $1 million for
technical assistance, with the approximate approved workload as follows:
1997 actual 1998 est. 1999 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 1999
provides $4 million for salaries and expenses.

The Administration proposes to apply the ARC federal-state
partnership economic development model to the Lower Mississippi Delta
Region. This includes the 219 county region in seven states established
by P.L. 100-460 which comprised the Lower Mississippi River Delta
Commission. Capitalizing on the successful ARC model and staff
expertise, the Delta Region Economic Development Program would establish
the Delta Regional Commission (DRC) to assist the economic development
of this Region. The ARC Federal Co-Chairman would serve as the Federal
Co-Chairman of the DRC. The Governors of the seven member states would
serve as Commission members and would elect one of these Governors as
States' Co-Chairman.
The economic distress in the Delta Region is widespread and
protracted--over half the Delta counties have experienced poverty rates
greater than 20 percent for at least the last four decades. This
proposal would apply the proven ARC regional economic development model
to an adjoining region of the country that has tremendous wide-ranging
needs. Although specific allocations for economic development activities
would be decided by the members of the DRC, it is anticipated that the
requested funding of $26 million would be allocated approximately as
follows: area development (e.g., distressed counties programs, physical
infrastructure, job training, entrepreneurship), $20 million; assistance
to the state-local regional economic development entities (LDDs) who
would participate in project development and evaluation, $3 million;
technical assistance, $1 million; and additional administrative
expenses, $2 million. To capitalize on the rich body of experience and
to encourage sharing of economic development strategies, as well as to
minimize administrative costs, the DRC and the ARC would share a common
staff. Although the requested funds would pay the full additional costs
of the requested staff in 1999, after 1999, the staff of the DRC and the
ARC would be jointly funded by the states (50 percent) and the federal
government (50 percent).

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.''
Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, (GPRA)
the Access Board has adopted this mission statement to guide its
programs: The Board is the catalyst for achieving an accessible America.
The statement recognizes that achieving an accessible America requires
bringing together public and private sectors. The Board has established
long range goals that aim to bring together public and private sectors
for achieving an accessible America. The Board's long-range goals are
to:
LTake a leadership role in the development of codes and
standards for accessibility
LWork in partnership with Federal agencies and others to
make the Federal government a model of compliance with accessibility
standards
LBe known as the leading source of information about
accessibility and disseminate that information to our customers in
effective ways
In FY 1999, the Board will implement specific action strategies for
each of these goals. In the development of codes and standards, the
Board will have identified the codes most relevant to accessibility and
will initiate a process to work closely with the codes organizations to
harmonize ADAAG and the codes. Working to make the Federal government a
model of compliance, the Board will identify three to six other
[[Page 1037]]
Federal agencies to identify benchmarks for the best practices in ABA
compliance systems. In the distribution of information on accessibility,
the Board will build on its existing partnerships in the private sector
to develop and distribute technical assistance materials.

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 1999,
approximately 36,000 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 1999 the Committee expects to have nearly 5,300 items on its
Procurement List and sales of $900 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 1998 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.

Enforcement.--The enforcement program is responsible for detecting,
investigating, and litigating violations of the Act or regulations.
These violations may include actual and attempted market manipulations,
cheating and defrauding cus- tomers, and abusive trading practices such
as fictitious trading, wash trading, and pre-arranged trading. This
program may seek remedies through the administrative process or by
injunctive actions in the Federal Courts.

contract markets and the National Futures Association, conducts audits
and reviews of registrants, and reviews self-regulatory organizations'
rules and proposed rule changes. The program also develops regulations

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting provides grants to qualified
public television and radio stations to be used at their discretion for
purposes related to program production or acquisition and general
operations. 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 2000, an appropriation of $300 million
was enacted in the 1998 appropriations act.
For 2001, the Administration is requesting $340 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. Public broadcasting plays a vital role in
the educational and cultural development of our Nation. The proposed
funding level will allow the Corporation to carry out its role of
facilitating the provision of universally available educational, non-
commercial public telecommunications services that meet the needs of
local communities across the country. The table below illustrates the
1999-2001 funding levels.

In April 1997, the Federal Communications Commission issued
regulations requiring broadcasters to transition from analog to digital
transmissions. Public broadcasters must convert to digital by 2003 or
lose their spectrum license. Funds made available in this account to the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) will facilitate public
broadcasters' transition to digital signals. 1999 funds totaling $50
million are requested as part of a multi-year initiative totaling $375
million over five years. Funds will support necessary expenses such as
the base equipment transition requirements to ensure continued universal
access to public broadcasting in digital format.

The Veterans Judicial Review Act, 38 U.S.C. Secs. 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. Secs. 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 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.

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
employee health and safety are adequately protected.

The National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement
Act of 1997 requires that the adult felon population of the District of
Columbia be transferred to the Federal Prison System over the next
several years. To assist in this transition, the Act established a
Corrections Trustee to provide financial oversight of, and assistance
to, the District of Columbia Department of Corrections during this
period. The Corrections Trustee also provides funding to the D.C.
Department of Corrections associated with the prisoner population that
will eventually be transferred to the Federal Prison System. Of the
current D.C. adult felon population (7,200 inmates), 2,000 inmates will
be transferred to private facilities contracted for by the Federal
Prison System by December 31, 1999. The remaining inmates will be
transferred to the Federal Prison System when the Lorton, Virginia,
Correctional Complex is closed, or by December 31, 2003, whichever is
earlier. It is estimated that at least 800 District inmates will already
have been transferred to the Federal Prison System by the end of 1998.
In 1999, the Corrections Trustee will continue to work with the D.C.
Department of Corrections on the closing of Lorton initiative now in
progress. Of the seven prison facilities located at the Lorton site,
three will have been closed by the end of 1999. The Corrections Trustee
will also work with the D.C. Department of Corrections to restructure
employee pay scales to stabilize the workforce by discouraging employee
separations. The Trustee will also work with the Department to establish
a system of internal controls and audits to improve the quality and
accountability of operations.

The National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement
Act of 1997 eliminated the annual Federal payment to the District of
Columbia. The annual payment was used to partially offset the costs
associated with the Federal government assuming financial and management
responsibility for certain District government functions, including the
courts and key elements of the criminal justice system and the unfunded
pension liability under the Revitalization Act.
The former annual payment compensated the District for the net costs
imposed by the presence of the Federal government in Washington, D.C. A
$719 million Federal payment was provided in 1997, of which $660 was
provided for the payment to the general fund of the District of
Columbia.

The National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement
Act of 1997 establishes the Federal Supplemental District of Columbia
Pension Fund to pay retirement benefits for District of Columbia law
enforcement officers, firefighters and teachers after the District of
Columbia Federal Pension Liability Trust Fund has been depleted. This
fund consists of amounts deposited into the fund, any amount
appropriated to the fund, and any income earned on the investment of the

The National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement
Act of 1997 established the District of Columbia Offender Supervision,
Defender, and Court Services Agency to assume the District of Columbia
offender supervision, pretrial services, parole revocation, adult
probation and public defender related functions.
The new Federal agency will assume its duties no earlier than August
5, 1998 and no later than August 5, 2000. The Act established the
Pretrial Services, Defense Services, Parole, Adult Probation and
Offender Supervision Trustee (hereinafter the Offender Supervision and
Court Services Trustee) to assist in the transition to the federal
government of the District of Columbia responsibilities in the following
ways: (1) overseeing the finances and directing the actions of those
agencies, including those of the court system of the District of
Columbia, whose functions will be transferred to the new Federal
executive branch agency; (2) exercising the powers and functions of the
Director of the District of Columbia Offender Supervision, Defender, and
Court Services Agency; and (3) certifying to the Attorney General that
the new Federal agency is ready to carry out the functions described in
section 11233 and that the United States Parole Commission can carry out
the functions described in section 11231 prior to federal assumption of
full responsibility and liability for these duties and functions. During
the transition, the Offender Supervision and Court Services Trustee is
expected to improve public safety by establishing a fully integrated
court services and offender supervision monitoring and information
system. This system is to provide the following services for adult
offenders on pretrial release, probation, parole, or supervised release:
appropriate drug testing; treatment; electronic monitoring; field
supervision; and intermediate and graduated sanctions, with particular
emphasis on providing enhanced support to the existing drug court and
domestic violence court as well as any such additional specialized
programs as may be established in the future in the District of
Columbia.
In 1999, the Offender Supervision and Court Services Trustee will
work closely with all elements of the District of Columbia and federal
criminal justice, courts and corrections systems to facilitate the
transition and to improve offender supervision and court services
programs, policy and practice.

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 EEOC's budget supports three activities:
Executive direction and program support.--This activity provides for
the direction and coordination of the Commission's programs. It also
provides administrative and management support services for the agency.
For 1999, the agency will continue initiatives designed to further labor
management partnerships and improve both internal and external customer
service.
Enforcement.--This activity resolves charges of employment
discrimination filed with the Commission and pursues litigation to
enforce compliance with Title VII, the Equal Pay Act, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act,
and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. During 1999, programs will continue to
focus on improving the effectiveness of the administrative process and
litigation program. This includes: using mediation in private sector
enforcement activities; using charge prioritization and National
Enforcement and Local Enforcement Plan priorities; and improving the
processing of Federal-sector EEO complaints, appeal actions and
affirmative employment procedures. The agency will continue to encourage
and facilitate voluntary compliance with equal employment opportunity
laws in the private and public sectors and increase the public's
knowledge about individual rights under equal employment opportunity
laws. The 1999 request includes funding to enhance the agency's
information resource management system, to continue the use of
alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, and to expand its outreach
and technical assistance efforts. Together with additional staff, these
initiatives will provide the tools needed to further combat excessive
caseloads and prevent discrimination from occurring in the first place.
State and local grants.--This activity provides funds to State and
local fair employment practice agencies to assist in the resolution of
employment discrimination complaints. For 1999, the agency will continue
working with State and Local Fair Employment Practices Agencies and
Tribal Employment Rights Organizations to improve employment
discrimination charge processing and other approaches for addressing
workplace discrimination.

The purpose of the Export-Import Bank (Eximbank) is to aid in the
financing and promotion of 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 officially
sponsored foreign 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.
The bank's request for administrative expenses for 1999 is $51.9
million, of which $2 million will be used specifically to cover costs
associated with the renovation of the GSA-owned building occupied by the
bank.
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; administrative expenses
are estimated on a cash 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.
It does not provide for losses on a country-by-country basis and is
intended only to provide an overall revaluation of the loan portfolio.
The bank's net operating income was $391 million in 1997. Total
Government equity in the corporation was $2,830 million on September 30,
1997.

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, 1997, the System is comprised of six Farm Credit
Banks, one Agricultural Credit Bank, one bank for cooperatives, 206
associations, five service corporations, and three related 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 Reconciliation and
Agriculture Appropriations Acts of 1989.
Except for debt issued for Capital Preservation cash-outs, the U.S.
Treasury pays all the interest on 15-year, 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 91
percent of the 1997 expense, 93 percent of the 1998 expense, and 97
percent of the 1999 expense. The System is required to eventually
reimburse Treasury for these payments and will redeem FAC debt upon
maturity or call. Under the terms of the Act, no interest payments will
be made by Treasury after the year 2000.
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 Corporation expects to achieve the
secure base amount during 1998, at which time premium collections will
be discontinued.
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 Corporation has the authority to make refunds of excess
Insurance Fund balances. No refunds are anticipated before 2005.

*Includes both inter- and intra-state funds.
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 are
required to contribute funds, as prescribed by the FCC, to the
preservation and advancement of universal service. The contributions are
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.

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.

the Balanced Budget Agreement of 1997 which required spectrum auctions
to be conducted in 2002. This proposal will facilitate the efficient
deployment of the spectrum by the Federal Communications Commission
which will maximize market value.
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 maintain the reserves of the BIF and SAIF at 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 1997, BIF's fund
balance totaled $28 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 supports the transfer of health coverage for
retirees and active employees within five years of retirement of the
FDIC and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, who are now
covered by in-house health care plans, to the Federal Employee Health
Benefits Program (FEHBP) administered by the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM). The current plans are becoming more expensive because
of the small size and age of the insured group, and FEHBP coverage would
be more cost effective. This proposal will reduce the FDIC's
administrative costs, thereby increasing the Bank Insurance Fund
balance.

The Administration is proposing 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
[[Page 1079]]
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.
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.

FDIC's Office of Inspector General (OIG) is an independent unit
within the Corporation that conducts audits and investigations of
corporate activities and assists the Corporation in preventing and
detecting fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. The OIG was
established by the FDIC Board of Directors pursuant to the Inspector
General Act amendments of 1988 (Public Law 100-504). The Resolution
Trust Corporation Completion Act, enacted December 17, 1993, provided
that the FDIC Inspector General be appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate. The Completion Act thus added FDIC to the
establishments whose OIG's have separate appropriation accounts under
Section 1105(a) of Title 31, United States Code. The OIG's first
appropriation was for its fiscal year 1998 expenses. The OIG's
appropriations
[[Page 1082]]
are derived from the Bank Insurance Fund, the Savings Association
Insurance Fund, and the FSLIC Resolution Fund.

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 1998. The
Treasury has already been repaid $4.5 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 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 board of directors is composed of 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. In 1997, the FLRA
conducted over 340 programs involving over 10,000 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, issue reports, and make
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.

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

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, it 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 separate from the
Federal government prior to vesting and then 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 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.
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 1999 request will fund a total of 979 FTE. The
program level for the Commission would increase from $106.5 million in
1998 to $112.9 million in 1999, 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

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 supports 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

The U.S. International Trade Commission is an independent agency
created by an act of Congress. The sources of the Commission's principal
powers and duties are 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 investigates 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 imported 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 of the President, the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Representatives, the Finance Committee of the
Senate, or on the Commission's own motion, undertakes comprehensive
studies and provides reports on 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 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 in the trust
fund.
The foundation is authorized to award graduate fellowships of up to
$24,000 to high school teachers of American history, American
government, and social studies. College seniors and recent college
graduates who want to become secondary school teachers of these subjects
are also eligible.
Fellowship awards.--This activity is comprised of fellowship awards
to cover educational expenses. It also supports the foundation's annual
Summer Institute on the U.S. Constitution, which all current fellows are
required to attend. The Institute is an intensive educational experience
that will ensure that all fellows know the history of the framing,
ratification, and implementation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill
of Rights. The foundation awarded 61 fellowships in 1997 and plans to
award 60 in both 1998 and 1999.
Program administration.--This activity covers the costs of planning,
fund-raising, and the operation of the fellowship program.

The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board was
established to oversee an effort of enormous scope within a four 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.
1998 is the Board's fourth and final year, and it will issue a final
report upon its termination.

The mission of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) 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 to
assure that (1) personnel actions taken against employees are processed
within the law, and (2) actions taken by OPM and other agencies support
and enhance Federal merit principles.

Proposed legislation amending the Morris K. Udall Scholarship and
Excellence in National Environmental and Native American Public Policy
Act of 1992 would establish the U.S. Institute for Environmental
Conflict Resolution. The Institute is designed to conduct environmental
conflict resolution and training, and will provide mainly Federal
agencies with assessment, mediation, or other related services in
connection with a dispute or conflict related to the environment, public
lands, or natural resources. Under the proposal, a new Environmental
Dispute Resolution Fund would be established to collect fees from
contracting parties to pay for environmental dispute resolution cases.
The budget proposes $3 million to capitalize this new fund and $1
million for annual operating costs for transmittal after enactment of
needed authorizing legislation.

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.
In 1997, the Foundation increased undergraduate scholarships to
qualified applicants from 55 to 70 and Native American Congressional
Summer Internship Program recipients from 10 to 12, with longer
internships than the previous year. For the first time the Foundation
awarded two Graduate Fellowships to Ph.D candidates whose dissertation
topics were
[[Page 1100]]
in the area of environmental public policy and conflict resolution and
whose work contributed to the mission of the Foundation. The Foundation,
in conjunction with the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy and
the University of Arizona, hosted the 1997 Annual Meeting of the Society
of Environmental Journalists.
In 1998, the Foundation will increase undergraduate fellowships to
75 and Native American Congressional Summer Internships to 15. Graduate
fellowships to Ph.D candidates will remain at two in 1998. A priority of
the Foundation concerns issues relating to Native Americans. In 1998, in
conjunction with the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, the
Foundation will sponsor a national conference on Native American Health.

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 services.--This activity provides for selecting, preserving,
describing, and making available to the general public, scholars, and
Federal agencies the permanently valuable historical records of the
Federal Government; the historical materials and Presidential records in
Presidential Libraries; for preparing related publications and exhibit
programs; and for conducting the appraisal of all Federal records.
Significant savings result from use of low cost records storage and the
efficient and timely disposal of non-permanent records.
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.
Archives related services.--This activity provides for the
publication of the Federal Register the Code of Federal Regulations, the
U.S. Statutes-at-Large, and Presidential documents, and for a program to
improve the quality of regulations and the public's access to them. This
activity also in-
[[Page 1101]]
cludes the administration and reference services portion for the
National Historical Publications and Records Commission. This Commission
makes grants nationwide to preserve and publish records that document
American history.
Archives II Facility.--Provides for construction and related
services of the new archival facility which was opened to the public in
1993. Costs of construction are financed by $301,702 thousand of
federally guaranteed debt issued in 1989. Since 1994 and continuing in
1999, 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 National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) is the central
planning agency for the Federal government in the National Capital
Region. It develops long-range plans and conducts project reviews in
order to enhance the National Capital's historical, cultural and natural
resources. During 1999, NCPC will begin its Monuments, Memorials, and
Museums Study that, by identifying potential sites for new commemorative
works and public buildings, will preserve the Mall's open space and
encourage economic development in all quadrants of Washington. NCPC will
also undertake the detailed planning work associated with its
``Extending the Legacy'' plan, including implementation of key First
Initiatives projects. Expansion of the Washington Geographic Information
System (WGIS) will focus on assessing Federal GIS needs and
opportunities for partnering with the private sector in the National
Capital region, and on developing revenue-generating products.

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
50 percent.
The extent of the program is estimated as follows:
1997 actual 1998 est. 1999 est.
Item:
Number of insured credit unions... 11,292 11,125 11,075
Insured shares of member
institutions as of June 30 (in
millions of dollars)............ $290,161 $306,450 $321,500
It is estimated that approximately 4,200 State-chartered credit
unions will be enrolled in the program by the end of 1998.
Financing.--For insurance year 1998 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 1997 the income generated from
the 1 percent deposit eliminated the need to assess the annual premium.
In addition, the fund paid a $105 million dividend to federally insured
credit unions in fiscal year 1998 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 $170 million will be
retained in the fund, raising the balance for unforeseen emergencies to
$4 billion by the end of 1999.

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

Field investigation.--Charges of unfair labor practices and
petitions for elections to resolve representation disputes are
investigated by regional office personnel. Ninety 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 rep-
[[Page 1112]]
resentation 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 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.

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.

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 1999, the Administration requests a total funding level of $53.2
million for NTSB Salaries and Expenses, including $6 million to be
derived from a proposed commercial aviation accident investigation fee.
This funding level represents a 5.3 percent increase above the 1998
enacted level of $48.4 million, excluding one-time costs associated with
TWA 800, and will allow the NTSB to fulfill its role in improving safety
on the Nation's transportation system.
The request provides additional resources to complete the
investigation of TWA 800 in the first quarter of 1999.

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 1999, the Administration proposes to
double the size of the emergency fund to cover unanticipated costs
associated with an increased number of accidents.

The major activities of the Corporation include: establishing
neighborhood partnership programs known as Neighbor-Works Organizations
(NWOs); assisting in the expansion of NeighborWorks organizations to
additional neighborhoods; providing training and technical assistance;
identifying, evaluating, supporting and replicating successful
neighborhood preservation projects that show promise for reversing
neighborhood decline; promoting a national secondary market and other
financing mechanisms for NWOs; and granting lending and equity capital
to promote homeownership and other affordable housing.
The Corporation will undertake a new homeownership initiative which
will extend the benefits of homeownership to 10,000 working households
which are not currently served through conventional sources.
The Corporation receives both Federal and non-Federal funding to
finance its program activities. For FY 1999, a program level of
$90,000,000 is requested. The following tables reflect the total program

====================================
Nuclear Reactor Safety.--A major part of the NRC's mission is to
ensure that its licensees design, construct, and operate civilian
reactor facilities safely. The Atomic Energy Act and the Energy
Reorganization Act provide the foundation for regulating the Nation's
commercial nuclear power industry. Reactor safety encompasses all NRC
efforts to ensure that civilian nuclear reactor facilities are operated
in a manner that provides adequate protection of public health and
safety. These efforts include reactor licensing, inspection, performance
assessment, identification and resolution of safety issues, reactor
regulatory research, regulation development, independent assessment of
reactor operational events and experience, investigations of alleged
wrongdoing by licensees, applicants, contractors, or vendors, and
imposition of enforcement sanctions for violations of NRC requirements.
Nuclear Materials Safety.--Nuclear materials safety encompasses all
NRC efforts to ensure that NRC-regulation aspects of nuclear fuel cycle
facilities and nuclear materials activities are handled in a manner that
provides adequate protection of public health and safety. These efforts
include licensing, inspection, and related regulatory activities for
fuel cycle facilities and nuclear materials users, and uranium recovery.
This program provides regulatory assistance to the Department of Energy,
including activities related to the anticipated commercial vitrification
of high-level waste in Hanford tanks, the evaluation of tritium
production using commercial reactors, and the external regulation pilot
program.
Nuclear Waste Safety.--Nuclear waste safety encompasses the NRC's
high-level waste regulatory activities associated with high-level waste
disposal at Yucca Mountain as mandated by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act,
the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act and the Energy Policy Act. This
program also encompasses all NRC low-level radioactive waste activities
associated with the disposal of waste in accordance with the Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Policy Act.
Common Defense and Security and International Involvement.--Common
Defense and Security and International Involvement encompasses NRC
international activities, some of which support the agency's domestic
mission and many of which support broader U.S. national interests. These
activities include international policy formulation, export-import
licensing of nuclear materials and equipment, treaty implementation,
international information exchange activities, and international safety
and safeguards assistance. NRC's domestic safeguards responsibility
involves the control of and accounting for nuclear materials, the
protection of nuclear materials to prevent theft or diversion, and
contingency plans for responding to threatening situations.
Protecting the Environment.--Protecting the environment encompasses
the NRC's activities related to protecting the environment from
potential hazards associated with the civilian use of source, byproduct,
and special nuclear materials and involves actions to mitigate
environmental impacts, both during the conduct of licensed activities
and afterward. These NRC activities ensure that potential environmental
impacts of such licensed activities are assessed and overseen, prior and
during licensing, consistent with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act as implemented by applicable NRC regulations.
NRC regulatory and oversight activities also encompass decommissioning,
which involves safely removing a facility from service and reducing
residual radiation to a level that permits the property to be released
for unrestricted use.
Management and Support.--Management and support encompasses NRC
central policy direction, resources management, and all administrative
and logistical support.
Beginning in FY 2000, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's proposed
program funding level, except where noted, will be dependent upon the
actual collection of fees, and the request for general or special fund
appropriations will be lim-
[[Page 1117]]
ited to nonfee-based activities of the Commission. To facilitate the
Commission's transition to this new method of operation, the Commission
will be allowed to use fees collected in FY 1999 to cover the costs of
operation in the following fiscal year.

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.
Overall in FY 1997, there were more than 5,762 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 1997 the OSC obtained 82
corrective or other favorable actions, and efforts to obtain such
negotiated resolutions will continue. In Fiscal Year 1997 the OSC also
filed 4 enforcement actions before the MSPB in prohibited personnel
practice and Hatch Act matters. The OSC also issued 1,700 Hatch Act
advisory opinions (both written and oral) to people who sought advice.
During FY 1997, the OSC's Disclosure Unit received 306 disclosure
matters for possible referral and completed 303 of them. Fourteen
Disclosure Unit matters were referred to agency heads for their review.
In FY 1998, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) will continue to
review its operations and procedures. The aim of these efforts will be
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.
In furtherance of its respsonsibilities, and the goals and
objectives set forth in the agency's strategic plan, the OSC performance
goals in FY 1999 will be to: (1) design and initiate a pilot project to
test the impact of alternative dispute resolution on the disposition of
prohibited personnel practice matters, (2) acquire data on compliance by
federal agencies with the statutory informational program requirement,
(3) implement electronic filing of complaints and disclosures with the
OSC (subject to FY 1998 feasibility review and assessment), and (4)
replace 20% of the agency's information technology infrastructure.

miscellaneous receipts of the U.S. Treasury; the health and education
services provided to Commission employees and their dependents at

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
1999 is $80.4 million. There is a provision of $2.0 million for working
capital in FY 1999.
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 $2.0 million in 1997 and is
budgeting a modest loss of $2.6 million for 1998. Both losses will be
carried forward and fully recovered in 1999.

establishment within the executive branch. The Postal Service commenced
operations July 1,
[[Page 1126]]
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, 1999, it is expected that the total debt instruments issued and
outstanding pursuant to this authority will amount to $8.331 billion.
Operating.--Estimated revenue will total $64.246 billion in 1999.
This includes $64.142 billion from mail and services revenue, $33
million from investment income, and $71 million accrued for revenue
foregone appropriations in 1999. Total expenses are estimated at $63.621
billion in 1999.
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 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.
The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 repealed the authorization for
transitional appropriations to the Postal Service which had funded the
liabilities of the former Post Office Department to the Employees'
Compensation Fund. Effective October 1, 1997, these liabilities became
liabilities of the Postal Service payable out of the Postal Service
Fund.

The Presidio Trust is a wholly owned government corporation
established by the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996
(Public Law 104-333) to maintain and lease property in the Presidio of
San Francisco. After this former military base was transferred to the
National Park Service (NPS), the Trust was created to take over
responsibility for the hundreds of houses, office buildings, and other
facilities in an innovative manner that uses private-sector resources,
but is consistent with surrounding NPS lands. This appropriation funds
the operation of the Trust. It also authorizes the Trust to borrow up to
$25 million from the U.S. Treasury in 1999 to rehabilitate and prepare
facilities for leasing. And additional $25 million loan is proposed for
2000.

This schedule reflects the Administration's proposal 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.

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 1997, $3,184 million was advanced and $3,155
million was repaid.

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

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 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 on December
31, 1995.
Of $18.3 billion appropriated to RTC in 1994 by the RTC Completion
Act, the Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight Board determined that
only $4.6 billion was required and the excess was returned to Treasury
on December 31, 1997. When the RTC terminated, the Oversight Board's
primary function ceased. However, approximately $3 million remains for
the Board's continuing oversight of the Resolution Funding Corporation
(REFCORP), which provided financing for the RTC.

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 (EDGAR).--The Commission's EDGAR system provides
the agency with the capability for electronic receipt, analysis, and
dissemination of virtually all of its full disclosure filings. Since
becoming operational in 1993, EDGAR has received and successfully
processed over 1.3 million documents submitted in approximately 491,000
separate submissions from over 28,000 companies and funds registered
with the SEC.
Although EDGAR has proven to be a success, the system is in need of
modernization in order to take advantage of changes in technology and
respond to the demands of filers and investors. The SEC has submitted
reprogramming requests to both the House and Senate Appropriations
Subcommittees to set aside a specified portion of excess 1997 fees
(previously paid by filers) for the sole purpose of financing EDGAR
modernization over a three-year period.

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.

The staff reviews disclosure documents filed by investment companies and
investment advisers and regulates and inspects investment companies and
investment advisers to protect investors against fraud, self-dealing,
inadequate disclosure, and other abuse. The staff refers serious
violations for enforcement action. This program also is responsible for

Legal and economic services.--This program provides a range of legal
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.
Due to the timing of fee collections, a general fund appropriation
of $118,098,000 is requested in 1999. This one-time increase in the
general fund appropriation will enable the Commission to accommodate the
elimination of appropriated budget authority which provides a guaranteed
funding level that is later reduced as actual collections are received.
The current schedule of fee collections is set forth in the ``National
Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996'' (P.L. 104-290), which was
signed by the President on October 11, 1996. Title IV of this law amends
fee language found in Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 31 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Under this law,
the Section 6(b) fee rate paid by corporations to register securities
with the Commission was reduced from $303 per $1,000,000 of the
aggregate price of securities offered in 1997 to $295 per $1,000,000 in
1998, and will be further reduced in 1999 to $278 per $1,000,000 of the
offering amount. The first $200 per $1,000,000 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. In addition,
to promote equity across securities markets, the ``National Securities
Markets Improvement Act of 1996'' extended Section 31 transaction fees
to the over-the-counter market at a rate of 1/300 of one percent of the
aggregate dollar amount
[[Page 1136]]
of securities transacted, the rate currently paid by all national and
regional exchanges. These transaction fees are also made available for
use by the Commission.

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 1999 are intended to provide for
continuation of Institute operations at a reduced level. In addition to
the $6 million requested for State Justice Institute, the President's
Budget requests $60 million in the Office of Justice Programs'
(Department of Justice) Violent crime reduction trust fund for
assistance to Violent Youth Courts.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was created in 1933 as a
Government-owned corporation for the unified development of a river
basin comprised of parts of seven States. The President's budget
proposes that the agency's program in 1999 be financed from three
sources: (1) appropriations by the Congress; (2) proceeds available from
current power operations and borrowings against future power revenues;
and (3) proceeds available from nonpower activities.
The President's Budget includes $76.8 million to be appropriated for
the agency's non-power programs in 1999. This will ensure that these
programs continue to be funded and operated as the Administration and
Congress consider alternatives for the agency in both the power and non-
power areas. The following table provides detailed information on
programs financed by power proceeds and borrowings and programs financed
by appropriations and nonpower proceeds.

TVA's program paid for by appropriations.--As a federal corporation,
TVA serves national interests by operating infrastructure services for
the production of electricity, economic development and the stewardship
of natural resources in 201 counties in seven states.
Appropriations provide for public services to maintain and operate
public resources--navigable channels, flood control, recreation, and
non-regulatory, community-based programs that protect the water quality
of the Tennessee River system. Federal appropriations do not support
TVA's power program. The Budget proposes that $76.8 million be
appropriated for these purposes in 1999.
Water and Land Stewardship.--Funds TVA's statutory obligation to
operate 54 dams and reservoirs to regulate stream-flow for the multi-
purpose objectives of navigation, flood control, recreation and aquatic
habitat conservation; perform cyclic maintenance and repair of 14
navigation locks, maintain dam machinery and spillway gates; perform
channel, lock and mooring modifications to maintain safety and
passability for increasingly larger cargo vessels; conserve and improve
water quality and supply in 12 watersheds and dam tailwaters for
fisheries and potable supply for 4 million people; control mosquitoes
and plant pests; prevent shoreline erosion and manage residential
development in riparian zones; plan for and manage 630,000 hectares (1.7
million acres) of land; provide services and education to watershed
communities; operate public recreation areas; and meet federal
regulatory law requirements.
Land Between the Lakes.--Partially funds Land Between The Lakes as
the hub of a tourism and recreation industry that annually generates
$400 million in economic activity in nine contiguous counties.
[[Page 1143]]
Environmental Research Center.--Partially funds the cost of
remediation and cleanup of TVA's Muscle Shoals Reservation site in
accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and
other State and Federal regulations. Federal funding at ERC will be
phased out over four years (1996-1999).
Chickamauga Lock and Dam.--Funds initial stages of a construction
project for replacement of the navigation lock which has irreparably
deteriorated and is inadequate for existing and projected river traffic.
TVA's Power Program.--TVA's role as the sole supplier of electric
power to an area of 80,000 square miles in the seven Tennessee Valley
States is being reviewed as the Nation considers ways to restructure the
electric power industry. Income from power operations, net of interest
charges and depreciation, and other operating expenses is estimated at
$272,000,000 in 1999. Power generating facilities are financed from
power proceeds and borrowings. The Budget reflects specific cost-cutting
measures the agency is taking to implement its 10-Year Business plan and
improve its ability to supply power at competitive prices. For example,
TVA will cut costs and reduce its outstanding debt by $2 billion by the
end of 1999.

Financing.--Amounts estimated to become available in 1999 are to be
derived from (1) the requested appropriation of $76,800,000; (2)
nonpower revenues and receipts of $6,885,000; and (3) power revenues and
receipts of $6,486,000,000. A summary of the application of

Operating results and financial conditions.--Payments to the
Treasury from power proceeds in 1999 are estimated at $58,000,000--
$38,000,000 as a dividend (return on the appropriation investment in the
power program) and $20,000,000 as a reduction in the appropriation
investment in the power program. Outstanding borrowings for the power
program are expected to decrease by $965,000,000 during 1999.
Total assets are estimated to decrease by $747,000,000 during 1999
as depreciation of existing assets exceeds expenditures for new assets.
The estimate of liabilities at September 30, 1999, is $962,000,000 less
than the estimate at September 30, 1998. Total Government equity at
September 30, 1999, is estimated to be $215,000,000 greater than that at
September 1998. This change includes the requested appropriation for
1999 and the net income from power operations, less payments to the
Treasury and the net expense of nonpower programs.

The 1992 Benefit Plan was established by the Coal Industry Retiree
Health Benefit Act of 1992. It pays for health care of those miners who
retired between July 21, 1992 and September 30, 1994, and their
dependents, who are eligible for benefits under an employer plan and
cease to be covered, usually because an employer is out of business.
Plan trustees are appointed by the United Mine Workers of America and
the Bituminous Coal Operators Association, a coal industry bargaining
group. The Plan is supported by signatories to the 1988 labor agreement
with the United Mine Workers of America.

The United States Enrichment Corporation (the Corporation or USEC)
is the world leader in production and sales of uranium enrichment
services for commercial nuclear power plants. As a wholly owned U.S.
government corporation established by the Energy Policy Act of 1992
(Energy Policy Act), all common stock issued and outstanding is held by
the Department of the Treasury. USEC began operations July 1, 1993, and
was created as an initial step in privatizing the government's uranium
enrichment activities. The Corporation provides uranium enrichment
services to electric utilities operating nuclear reactors in 14
countries, including the U.S.
As directed by the Energy Policy Act, the Corporation submitted a
privatization plan to the President in 1995. In April 1996, the USEC
Privatization Act was signed into law. In July 1997, the President
approved the implementation of USEC's privatization. USEC is working
with the Department of the Treasury and other government agencies to
design and implement the details of the final privatization transaction.
The USEC Board of Directors, with the approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury, must determine that the privatization of USEC will satisfy
certain criteria set forth in the Energy Policy Act and the USEC
Privatization Act. The budget reflects a projected transaction date of
May 1, 1998.
By moving out of the government and applying private-sector
discipline, USEC will remain a viable competitor in the global market
for uranium enrichment services, and preserve a reliable source of
domestic enrichment capacity. As a private corporation, USEC will be
able to make the financial investment necessary to more efficiently
commercialize the Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) process,
the next generation of enrichment technology.
Budget program.--During 1997, USEC maintained its position as the
world leader in uranium enrichment by negotiating new sales agreements
and working to improve plant operations. In March, as regulatory
oversight responsibility was transferred from the Department of Energy
to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Corporation introduced
initiatives to reinforce safety and efficiency as top priorities at
enrichment facilities that were more than 40 years old. In 1998, USEC is
cooperating with the Department of Energy to continue the demonstration
of plant-scale AVLIS components at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, with emphasis shifting to integrated operation of the laser
and separator systems to verify enrichment production economics.
Progress on plant design continues in support of a license application
submittal to the NRC.
USEC, in its third year as Executive Agent for the U.S. Government,
continued to receive shipments of low enriched uranium (LEU) blended
down from highly enriched uranium taken from former Soviet nuclear
weapons. To date, USEC
[[Page 1146]]
has purchased over 4.6 million separative work units (SWU) in the form
of LEU, and has committed to purchase 22.9 million SWU through 2001.
These purchases comprise nearly one third of the 20-year ageeement's
LEU, and will result in the dismantling of approximately 7,000 Soviet-
era nuclear warheads.
Operating results.--USEC's net income for 1997 was $237 million and
is expected to be approximately $101 million through the anticipated
privatization date of May 1, 1998. USEC paid a $120 million dividend to
the Treasury in 1997, and expects to pay a dividend in 1998. Net
proceeds from the sale of the Corporation are expected to be
approximately $1,600 million.

Note.--In 1998 and 1999, all staff and associated support costs for
Educational and Cultural Affairs will be funded in the Exchanges programs
account.
The United States Information Agency conducts the international
informational, educational, cultural and exchange programs of the United
States and advises the President, the National Security Council, and the
Secretary of State on these matters. The Agency defines, explains, and
advocates U.S. policies abroad and seeks to increase knowledge and
understanding among foreign audiences of U.S. society and its values.
The USIA Strategic Plan for 1997-2002 was submitted to Congress in
September 1997 in compliance with the 1993 Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA). The Agency expects to submit its FY 1999 Performance
Plan to the Congress in February 1998.
USIA's efforts to realize the benefits of a well-functioning
performance and results management system are underway. Agency elements
are collecting data and beginning to make management and program
decisions based on the findings. Overseas field posts are submitting
more concise and focused reports for data collection and identifying
their objectives more clearly. These objectives are closely linked to
and aligned with the strategic goals of the International Affairs
Strategic Plan through continuing collaboration with our counterparts
and colleagues in the State Department and other foreign affairs
agencies in developing a strategic framework for the mission and goals
of the foreign affairs community as a whole.
Using the Strategic and Performance Plans as a guide, the Agency is
focusing its resources more directly on the strategic goals and
performance objectives and, to this end, is reviewing management and
budget systems to achieve more visible accountability.
Agency overseas information and cultural program operations and
support functions are financed from this appropriation and consist of
the following major elements.
[[Page 1148]]
Overseas missions.--The Agency currently operates 192 U.S.
Information Service (USIS) posts in 141 countries. These USIS posts
administer exchange-of-persons programs and conduct informational and
cultural activities using, primarily, materials and programs provided by
support offices in Washington, D.C.
Bureau of Information.--This technologically advanced Bureau
supports U.S. foreign policy by means of instant and in-depth
communications with international opinion leaders and policy makers. The
Bureau provides information electronically through the Agency's World
Wide Web home pages, its daily Washington File and biweekly thematic
journals. It supports the Agency's U.S. foreign press centers and
overseas Information Resource Centers, which draw on databases and other
electronically delivered information. The Bureau supports U.S. speakers
and specialists at U.S. Information Service posts not only through
overseas travel, but also through interactive dialogues via telephone
and digitized video conferences. It also publishes pamphlets and other
printed materials for distribution to those who influence international
opinion.
Agency direction and management.--This activity includes managerial
staffs, research and centralized servicing functions for the Agency.
Administrative support from other agencies.--This activity includes
payment to the Department of State for USIA's share of the costs of
services provided for overseas operations. The Department was reimbursed
for the Distributed Administrative Support (DAS) services by
participating agencies under the Foreign Affairs Administrative Support
System (FAAS) in 1997. In 1998, the FAAS system is being replaced with
the International Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS)
system. This activity also covers payments to the General Services
Administration for space and services provided under the Federal
building rent system, and payments to other agencies for services
provided.

This appropriation provides funding for programs authorized by the
Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended, to
support U.S. foreign, economic and security policy objectives and to
assist in the development of peaceful relations between the United
States and other countries. These goals are addressed by fostering
increased mutual understanding through international exchange and
training activities. Programs under this appropriation include:
Academic programs.--Includes the J. William Fulbright Educational
Exchange Program for the exchange of students, scholars and teachers
between the United States and foreign countries as well as Fulbright's
Hubert H. Humphrey program; the Edmund S. Muskie fellowship program of
academic study and internships for mid-career professionals from
developing countries and the Newly Independent States of the former
Soviet Union (NIS); graduate- and postdoctoral-level Near and Middle
East studies and research by U.S. students and scholars; and programs in
support of the study of the United States in other countries designed to
promote better foreign understanding of the United States.
Professional/Cultural exchanges.--Includes the International Visitor
Program which supports travel in the United States by emerging foreign
political leaders, professionals and educators to obtain firsthand
knowledge about the United States, its people, politics and culture;
cooperative programs with non-governmental organizations, such as the
Citizen Exchanges Program which awards grants to U.S. non-profit
organizations for professional, cultural, institutional, and grassroots
community exchanges with foreign counterparts; and other programs.
NIS and SEED exchanges.--Includes democracy and free-market
development programs for the exchange of students, scholars and
professionals between the United States and the NIS and Central and
Eastern Europe under the FREEDOM Support Act of 1992 and the Support for
East European Democracy Act of 1989.
Exchanges support.--Includes all funding for domestic staff and
support costs related to exchange programs managed by
[[Page 1150]]
the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. USIS overseas posts
provide support to these programs abroad.
The Agency has developed a framework for strategic planning and
performance measurement of programs in accordance with the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993. In 1999, performance measurement
data will be collected, analyzed, and used in Educational and Cultural
Exchanges Programs budgeting and decision making.
The Bureau has established the Office of U.S. Government Exchanges
Coordination to support the work of the Interagency Working Group on
United States Government-sponsored International Exchanges and Training.
This Office will establish an information clearinghouse for government-
wide exchanges, and will collect data and conduct analysis of U.S.
Government-funded and private-sector exchanges. In 1999, the Bureau will
continue to develop the exchanges coordination function as an instrument
of policy support, working closely with dozens of Federal departments
and agencies which are striving with USIA to achieve such coordination.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a private, nonprofit
corporation established in the District of Columbia to encourage and
strengthen the development of democratic institutions and processes
internationally. NED supports democratic initiatives in six regions of
the world: Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, the
Middle East and the NIS.
The National Endowment for Democracy Act provides that the U.S.
Information Agency will make an annual grant to the Endowment to enable
the Endowment to fulfill the purposes of the Act. The Endowment does not
carry out programs directly but its Board approves annual grants to the
American Center for International Solidarity, the Center for
International Private Enterprise, the International Republican
Institute, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs,
and scores of indigenous organizations working to promote civic
education, human rights, independent media, and other democratic
processes and values.
