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.

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.

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.

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),

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;

in all regions of the country;

advisory and reference service to persons and institutions in all 50
States;

Folklife at the Library and around the country;

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
