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

headed by a five-member Board of Directors, who are appointed jointly by 
the House and Senate majority and minority leadership.

    [Sec. 209. (a) Grant for Care and Maintenance of Congressional 
Cemetery.--In order to assist in the perpetual care and maintenance of 
the historic Congressional Cemetery, the Architect of the Capitol shall 
make a grant to the National Trust for Historic Preservation (hereafter 
in this section referred to as the ``National Trust'') in accordance 
with an agreement entered into by the Architect of the Capitol with the 
National Trust and the Association for the Preservation of Historic 
Congressional Cemetery (hereafter in this section referred to as the 
``Association'') which contains the terms and conditions described in 
subsection (b) and such other provisions as the Architect may deem 
necessary or desirable for the implementation of this section or for the 
protection of the interests of the Federal Government.
    (b) Terms and Conditions of Agreement.--The terms and conditions 
described in this subsection are as follows:
        (1) Upon receipt of the amounts provided under the grant made 
    under subsection (a), the National Trust shall deposit the amounts 
    in a permanently restricted account in its endowment and shall 
    administer, invest, and manage such grant funds in the same manner 
    as other National Trust endowment funds.
        (2) The National Trust shall make distributions to the 
    Association from the amounts deposited in the endowment pursuant to 
    paragraph (1), in accordance with its regularly established spending 
    rate, for the care and maintenance of the Cemetery (other than the 
    cost of personnel), except that the National Trust may only make 
    such distributions incrementally and proportionately upon receipt by 
    the National Trust of contributions from the Association which 
    incrementally match the amounts provided under the grant made under 
    subsection (a) and which are to be added to the permanently 
    restricted account described in paragraph (1).
        (3) The Association shall use such distributions from the 
    endowment and the match for the care and maintenance of 
    Congressional Cemetery, except that the Association may not use such 
    distributions for nonroutine restoration or capital projects.
        (4) The Association, or any successor thereto, shall maintain 
    adequate records and accounts of all financial transactions and 
    operations carried out with such distributions, and such records 
    shall be available at all times for audit and investigation by the 
    Architect of the Capitol and the Comptroller General.
    (c) No Title in United States.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to vest title to the Congressional Cemetery in the United 
States.] (Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1999.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    For 2000, the Court proposes a trial program of 600 weeks consisting 
of 264 weeks of trial sessions assigned to Presidentially appointed 
Judges, 236 weeks of trial sessions assigned to Special Trial Judges, 
and 100 weeks of lengthy special sessions. Trials are held in 
approximately 80 cities throughout the United States.

    Statistics on the actual and estimated number of cases before the 
court are presented in the following tabulation:
                                     1998 actual  1999 est.   2000 est.

    This fund, established pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 7448, is used to pay

Tax Court.

    On September 30, 1998, 25 judges of the court were participating in 
the fund, and 1 eligible dependent and 6 eligible widows were receiving

    This presentation includes a number of accounts that had previously 
been displayed separately including the following: Oliver Wendell Holmes 
Devise Fund; Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe; 
Competitiveness Policy Council; International Conferences and 
Contingencies; Copyright Royalty Tribunal; Commission on Immigration 
Reform; National Commission on Cost of Higher Education; and National 
Commission on Restructuring the Internal Revenue Service.

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

    The current program is devoted primarily to the preparation of a 
History of the Supreme Court of the United States, of which the first 
two volumes were published by the Macmillan Co. in 1972. The third, 
fourth and fifth volumes were

[[Page 41]]

published in August 1974, September 1981, and August 1985, respectively. 
The sixth and seventh volumes were published in 1988. The eighth volume 
was published in 1993. Additional volumes are nearing completion.

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

    The Commission is made up of nine Senators, nine Members of the 
House of Representatives and one Commissioner each from the Departments 
of State, Defense, and Commerce.

    Trade Deficit Review Commission.--The Commission was created in 
Public Law 105-277 to study the nature, causes, and consequences of the 
United States merchandise trade and current account deficits.

    International Conferences and Contingencies.--The International 
Conferences and Contingencies account provides funds to cover the 
expenses of House and Senate participants in international meetings.

    Copyright Royalty Tribunal.--Under Public Law 94-553, the general 
revision of the copyright law, an independent Copyright Royalty Tribunal 
was created in the Legislative Branch. The Tribunal is composed of three 
commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent of 
the Senate for staggered terms of 7 years each.

    The Tribunal's statutory responsibilities are: (a) to make 
determinations concerning copyright royalty rates (1) in the area of 
cable television (17 U.S.C. 111), (2) for phonorecords (17 U.S.C. 115), 
(3) for coin-operated phonorecord players (jukeboxes) (17 U.S.C. 116), 
(4) for non-commercial broadcasting (17 U.S.C. 118), and (5) for digital 
audio devices (17 U.S.C. 1004); and (b) to distribute cable television, 
satellite carrier, jukebox, and digital audio devices and media 
royalties deposited with the Register of Copyrights (17 U.S.C. 111, 116, 
119, 1005, and 1007).

    Public Law 103-198 abolished the Copyright Royalty Tribunal and 
created a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel System administered by the 
Library of Congress Copyright Office.

    Commission on Immigration Reform.--The Commission's mandate was to 
review and evaluate the implementation and impact of U.S. immigration 
policy. Its final report was transmitted to the Congress September 30, 
1997. The Commission expired January 1998.

    National Commission on Cost of Higher Education.--The Commission's 
mandate was to study increases in tuition compared to other commodities 
and innovative methods to reduce or stabilize the increases. A final 
report was submitted in February 1998.

    Commission on the Advancement of Federal Law Enforcement.--The 
Commission was authorized in 1996 (P.L. 104-132) to review, ascertain, 
evaluate, and recommend action to Congress on a range of issues related 
to Federal law enforcement. The Commission is composed of five members, 
serving for its life, of whom: one is appointed by the President of the 
Senate; one is appointed by the Senate Minority Leader; one is appointed 
by the Speaker of the House; one is appointed by the House Minority 
Leader; and one, the Chairperson, is appointed by the Chief Justice of

    [Sec. 312. American Folklife Center. (a) Findings and PPurpose.--
        (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (A) The American Folklife Center in the Library of 
            Congress was created by Congress in 1976, building on the 
            vast expertise and archival material existing at the Library 
            since 1928.
                (B) As an instrumentality of the Congress, it is fitting 
            that the American Folklife Center should have a direct and 
            close relationship with the representatives of the people, 
            who are best able to oversee the ongoing activities of the 
            Center to preserve and promote the cultural traditions of 
            the people, and to ensure that the resources of the Center 
            be readily available to all Americans.
                (C) In over 20 years since its creation, the American 
            Folklife Center in the Library of Congress has--
    (i) increased the size of the Archive of Folk Culture from 500,000 
to 1,500,000 multi-format ethnographic items;
    (ii) engaged in 15 cultural surveys and field documentation projects 
in all regions of the country;
    (iii) provided publications, documentary equipment on loan, and 
advisory and reference service to persons and institutions in all 50 
States;
    (iv) produced exhibitions and other educational programs on American 
Folklife at the Library and around the country;
    (v) begun sharing its unique collections in digital form via the 
Internet; and
    (vi) served as a national center for the professions of folklore, 
ethnomusicology, and cultural studies.
                (D) Congress has consistently provided encouragement and 
            support of American Folklife as an appropriate matter of 
            concern to the Federal Government, passing legislation to 
            reauthorize the Center eight times since its creation in 
            1976.
                (E) The American Folklife Center is the only unit in the 
            Library of Congress which is not permanently authorized. 
            Since its establishment in 1976, the Center's collections 
            and activities have been fully and successfully integrated 
            into the Library of Congress. It is useful to statutorily 
            conform the American Folklife Center with the rest of the 
            Library of Congress.
        (2) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this section to authorize 
    permanently the American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress 
    to preserve and present American Folklife.
