Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Occupational Safety

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

Personal services and necessary expenses to provide support for the
basic operations of the Library are financed from this appropriation.
National Library.--The National Library has as its mission the
acquisition of materials; the cataloging, classification, and
preparation of materials for use; serving the public and maintaining and
managing the Library's universal collections, which are the largest in
the world; and, the preservation of materials for use now and in the
future. It also develops, produces, markets, and distributes the catalog
records, cataloging data in machine-readable form, book catalogs,
technical publications and selected bibliographies made available from
the automated databases. It contributes directly to the Nation's
educational intellectual life through programs that interpret the
Library's resources and promotes the use of its unparalleled
collections. The National Library provides many basic technical services
to the Library of Congress as well as the world's research and library
communities. Finally, this program coordinates Federal library and
information resources.
Law Library.--The Law Library provides direct research service to
the Congress in foreign, international, and comparative law. In addition
to Members, Committees of the Congress and Congressional Research
Service, the Law Library provides officers of the legislative branch,
Justices of the Supreme Court and other judges, members of the
Departments of State and Justice, and other federal agencies with
bibliographic and informational services, background papers, comparative
legal studies, legal interpretations, and translations. As its
congressional priorities permit, the Law Library makes its collections
and services available to a diverse community of users--the foreign
diplomatic corps, international organizations, members of the bench and
bar, educational institutions, non-governmental libraries, legal service
organizations, and the general public.
Management Support Services.--This activity supports the executive
staff of the Office of the Librarian: budget and finance; human
resources; contracts; logistics; buildings management; and other
centralized services. It also includes rental of space off Capitol Hill.

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 tangible
Government information products, online access, and locator services
provided via the Internet from GPO Access; (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 program includes tangible
information products, online access, and locator services provided via
the internet from GPO Access.
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 2005, the Court proposes a trial program of 345 weeks. Trials
are held in approximately 80 cities throughout the United States.

children of deceased judges of the U.S. Tax Court. Participating judges
pay 3.5 percent of their salaries or retired pay into the fund to cover
creditable service for which payment is required. Additional funds, as
are needed, are provided through the annual appropriation to the U.S.
Tax Court.
On September 30, 2003, 20 judges of the court were participating in
the fund, and 1 eligible dependent and 10 eligible widows were receiving
survivorship annuity payments.

Restructuring the Internal Revenue Service and the following:
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 an annual report from the Secretary of State
discussing the overall United States policy objectives that are advanced
through meetings of decision-making bodies of the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the OSCE implementation
review process, and other activities of the OSCE.
Congressional-Executive Commission on the People's Republic of
China.--Congress created the Congressional-Executive Commission on the
People's Republic of China (CECC) in 2000 by passing Title III of P.L.
106-286, the China Relations Act of 2000. The statute gives the
Commission the mandate to monitor the Chinese government's compliance
with international human rights standards and to track the development
of the rule of law in China. The Commission reports annually on these
issues to the President and the Congressional leadership, making
recommendations for policy action and legislation when appropriate. The
CECC was also charged with creating and maintaining a registry of
victims of human rights abuses in China, including prisoners of
conscience. The CECC conducts hearings and staff-led issues roundtables
throughout the year and maintains a website containing the records of
these proceedings, as well as other information about human rights and
rule of law issues in China. The CECC seeks to be a resource on these
issues for Capitol Hill, the NGO community, the academic world, and the
general public.
The Commission comprises nine Senators, nine Members of the House of
Representatives, and five Executive Branch officials, supported by a
professional staff numbering about 15 people. The chairmanship of the
CECC rotates from the Senate to the House in even-numbered Congresses.
Commission on US.-China Economic and Security Review.--Congress
created the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) in
2000 in the National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 106-398 as
amended). The statute gives the Commission the mandate to monitor,
investigate and assess the economic and national security implications
of the U.S. growing bilateral trade and economic relationship with
China. It is an entirely Congressional Commission reporting to Congress
on Chinese proliferation practices; economic reforms and U.S. economic
transfers; energy; U.S. capital markets; corporate reporting; regional
economic and security impacts; U.S.-China bilateral programs; World
Trade Organization compliance; and media control by the Chinese
government. The Commission reports annually on these issues to the
Congressional leadership, making recommendations for policy action and
legislation when appropriate. The USCC conducts hearings throughout the
year and maintains a website containing the records of these proceedings
as well as original commissioned research in the U.S. on economic and
security matters related to the Commission's congressional mandate. The
USCC seeks to be a resource on these issues for Congress, the Executive
Branch of the Government, the manufacturing and business communities,
the academic world, and the general public.
The Commission is comprised of twelve Commissioners, 3 Commissioners
appointed by each leader in the House and Senate, supported by a
professional staff numbering about 15. The chairmanship of the USCC
rotates between a Republican and a Democratic Commissioner upon issuance
of each annual report to Congress.
Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission.--The Commission was
created in Public Law 106-79, the Defense Appropriations Act, to
consider and formulate plans for a permanent memorial to Dwight D.
Eisenhower.

The Millennial Housing Commission was established to conduct a study
that examines, analyzes, and explores: (1) the importance of housing,
particularly affordable housing which includes housing for the elderly,
to the infrastructure of the United States; (2) the various possible
methods for increasing the role of the private sector in providing
affordable housing in the United States, including the effectiveness and
efficiency of such methods; and (3) whether the existing programs of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development work in conjunction with one
another to provide better housing opportunities for families,
neighborhoods, and communities, and how such programs can be improved
with respect to such purpose.
The Commission's Report was completed in August, 2002. As such, the
Commission's mandate was successfully fulfilled and its operations
ceased as of August 30, 2002.
