    The Office of Inspector General's (OIG) mission is to promote 
economy, efficiency and effectiveness and to detect and prevent waste, 
fraud, abuse and mismanagement in the programs and operations of the 
Department of Commerce. OIG's work is conducted primarily through 
audits, inspections, and investigations. The audit function provides for 
both internal and contract audits: internal audits review and evaluate 
all facets of agency operations; contract audits provide professional 
advice to agency contracting officials on accounting and financial 
matters related to negotiation, award, administration, repricing and 
settlement of contracts. Inspections provide detailed technical 
evaluations of agency operations. Investigations provide for the 
detection and scrutiny of improper and illegal activities involving 
Commerce programs, personnel and operations.

    The OIG concentrates on programs and operations that have the 
greatest potential for inadvertent or deliberate fraud and recovery of 
funds, while at the same time precluding unnecessary outlays and 
improving management agency-wide. Performance measures indicate the 
quality of audits, inspections, and investigations conducted within the 
reporting period, as well as the dollar value of financial benefits 
identified by the OIG.

gram, as well as the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees 
committed in 1992 and thereafter, if any. The subsidy amounts are 
estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are 
estimated on a cash basis.

    Consistent with the Administration's efforts to reduce corporate 
subsidies, Congress rescinded $115 million in 2001 and $5.2 million in 
2002 as the economic outlook for the oil and gas industry dramatically 
improved since the program's inception. In light of the greatly reduced 
demand for oil and gas guarantees, $0.9 million was rescinded in 2003. 
The authority to guarantee new loans expired on December 31, 2001.

    The Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides investments 
for public works facilities, other financial assistance, and planning 
and coordination assistance needed to alleviate conditions of 
substantial and persistent unemployment and underemployment in 
economically distressed areas and regions. EDA assistance stimulates job 
creation, increases income in distressed communities, and promotes 
greater national productivity and balanced economic growth.

    In 2005, EDA will help States, regions, and communities across the 
Nation create wealth and minimize poverty by promoting a favorable 
business environment to attract private capital investments and higher-
skill/higher-wage jobs through capacity building, planning, 
infrastructure investments, research grants and strategic initiatives. 
EDA's programs will serve as a catalyst for assisting distressed 
communities achieve long-term competitive economic potential through the 
strategic investment of resources based upon locally and regionally 
developed priorities.

    EDA will continue to place priority on investments that drive 
economic growth, enhance regional competitiveness and support long-term 
development of the regional economy while also seeking to greater target 
funds to our Nation's communities of highest distress.

    EDA responds to community priorities and strives to meet its 
objectives through the use of a broad range of program tools:

    Planning investments.--Supports the design and implementation of 
effective economic development policies and programs by local 
organizations.

    Technical assistance investments.--Provides for local feasibility 
and industry studies, and funding for a network of university centers 
that assist public bodies, nonprofit organizations, and businesses to 
plan and implement activities designed to generate jobs and income in 
distressed areas.

    Public works investments.--Provides for infrastructure projects that 
enable communities to attract new, or support existing manufacturing and 
commercial businesses to generate new jobs in communities experiencing 
high unemployment, low per-capita income, or out-migration.

    Economic adjustment investments.--Provides flexible assistance 
tools, including planning, technical assistance, revolving loan funds 
and infrastructure development, to help communities counteract either a 
gradual erosion or a sudden dislocation of their local economic 
structure as a result of natural disasters, international trade 
competition, or major plant closings. Economic adjustment funds also 
support Brownfields redevelopment.

    Research evaluation investments.--Supports studies about the causes 
of economic distress and approaches to alleviating and preventing such 
problems, national demonstrations of innovative economic development 
techniques, and dissemination of economic development information.

    Trade adjustment assistance.--Provides technical assistance through 
a national network of 12 Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers to 
certified U.S. manufacturing firms and industries economically injured 
as the result of international trade competition.

    Performance measures.--All EDA program activities under this account 
support the Department of Commerce strategic goal to provide the 
information and tools to maximize U.S. competitiveness and enable 
economic growth for American industries, workers, and consumers. In 
2005, EDA will track private investment and jobs generated by its 
investments. For investments made in 2003, 2004, and 2005, long-term 
outcome results will be reported by investment recipients over a period 
of nine years following award at three year intervals. For example, FY 
2005 construction and revolving loan fund investments are expected to 
create or retain 58,500 jobs by 2014. In 2005, EDA will track its 
capacity-building investments to ensure that the planning, technical 
assistance, and

[[Page 208]]

trade adjustment assistance programs are providing market-based and 
value-added services. In addition, EDA will refine its targets to more 
closely reflect achievable performance. Below are EDA's performance 
goals and selected measures that demonstrate EDA's support of Commerce's 
strategic goals.

    EDA Goal 1: Increase private enterprise and job creation in 
economically distressed communities.

    EDA Goal 2: Improve community capacity to achieve and sustain 
economic growth.

    For 2003, actual results have been tabulated.

    A more detailed presentation of goals, performance measures and 
targets is found in the FY 2005 Budget Submission.

    The activities of this appropriation provide for the collection, 
compilation, and publication of a broad range of current economic, 
demographic, and social statistics.

    Current economic statistics.--The business statistics program 
provides current information on sales and related measures of retail and 
wholesale trade and selected service industries. This program will 
expand coverage of the new principal economic indicator of quarterly 
service industry activity introduced in calendar year 2004. It also will 
provide annual selected merchandise line data for retail and wholesale 
trade sectors and will expand annual coverage of service industries.

    Construction statistics reports are provided on significant 
construction activity such as housing permits and starts, value of new 
construction, residential alterations and repairs, and quarterly price 
indexes for new single-family houses.

    Manufacturing statistics survey key industrial commodities and 
manufacturing activities, providing current statistics on the quantity 
and value of industrial output.

    General economic statistics provide a Business Register of all U.S. 
business firms and their establishments, uniform classification data 
based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), 
annual county business data, corporate financial data, e-commerce 
estimates, and an economic research program. The E-Government increase 
will permit businesses to file electronically in any one of almost one 
hundred current economic surveys.

    Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly, 
cumulative, and annual reports on the quantity, shipping weight, and 
dollar value of imports and exports, by mode of transportation, detailed 
commodity category, customs districts, and country of origin or 
destination. This program covers the Census Bureau responsibilities 
under the Trade Act of 1974. This program will accelerate the release of 
trade statistics and expand the Automated Export System.

    Government statistics reports provide information on the revenue, 
expenditures, indebtedness and debt transactions, financial assets, 
employment, and payrolls of State and local governments. The Census 
Bureau provides quarterly information on State and local tax revenue on 
the national level by type of tax and governmental level, and provides 
information on financial assistance programs of the Federal Government.

    Current demographic statistics.--Household surveys provide 
information on the number, geographic distribution, and the social and 
economic characteristics of the population.

    The Census Bureau compiles statistics on the Nation's housing 
inventory and provides national and regional estimates of housing 
vacancy rates. Population and housing analyses provide current 
demographic reports on the geographic distribution and on the 
demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the population, as 
well as current estimates and future projections of the population of 
the United States, and special analyses of demographic, social and 
economic trends. International statistics provide estimates of 
population, labor force, and economic activity, including spatial 
distribution, and analyses concerning aspects of demographic policies, 
economic policies, and trends for various countries.

    Survey development and data services.--The Statistical Abstract that 
the Census Bureau prepares annually summarizes Government and private 
statistics of the industrial, social, political, and economic activities 
of the United States. The Bureau conducts general research on survey 
methods and techniques to find ways of improving the efficiency, 
accuracy, and timeliness of statistical programs.

    Survey of Program Dynamics.--The Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Act of 1996 required that the Survey of Income and Program 
Participation be expanded to evaluate the impact of welfare reforms made 
by that Act. This program will be considered as part of the re-
authorization of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.

    The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) was 
established and funded through mandatory appropriations by the Medicare, 
Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance Program Balanced Budget 
Refinement Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-113). Congress appropriated $10 million 
to produce statistically reliable annual data from the Annual Social and 
Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey on the number of 
low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from 
this enhanced survey are used in the formula to allocate funds to States 
under the SCHIP program.

    Performance measures.--Activities under the Salaries and Expenses 
account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal involving 
promotion of economic growth. The performance goals are to meet the 
needs of policymakers, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and the 
public for current measures of the U.S. population, economy, and 
governments, and to foster an environment that supports innovation, 
promotes data use, minimizes respondent burden, respects individual 
privacy, and ensures confidentiality.

    A more detailed presentation of the goals, performance measures, and 
targets is found in the FY 2005 Budget Submission.

    This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic economic 
and demographic censuses and other authorized activities.

    Economic statistics programs:

    Economic censuses.--The economic censuses provide data on 
manufacturers, mining, retail and wholesale trade and service 
industries, construction, and transportation. The censuses are taken 
every fifth year, covering calendar years ending in two and seven. 2005 
is the sixth year in the 2002 Economic Census cycle and the first year 
in the 2007 Economic Census cycle. The focus in 2005 is on the 
publication and dissemination of information collected and processed in 
the previous two years. The Bureau will continue to process the data 
collection for the Survey of Business Owners, which presents information 
about the characteristics of almost 23 million businesses.

    Census of governments.--The census of governments provides 
information on State and local governments' taxes, tax valuations, 
governmental receipts, expenditures, indebtedness, and number of 
employees. This census is taken every fifth year for calendar years 
ending in two and seven. 2005 is the first year in the five-year cycle 
of the 2007 Census of Governments. The focus for 2005 will be on 
planning, scheduling, and organizing activities for all three phases of 
the Census of Governments; Organization, Employment, and Finance.

    Demographic statistics programs:

    Intercensal demographic estimates.--In years between decennial 
censuses, this program develops annual estimates of

[[Page 211]]

the population and its demographic characteristics, for the Nation, 
States, metropolitan areas, counties and functioning governmental units. 
These data are used for a variety of purposes including the allocation 
of nearly $200 billion in Federal funds, as controls for a variety of 
federally sponsored surveys, as denominators for vital statistics and 
other health and economic indicators, and for a variety of Federal, 
State, and private program planning needs. These data will also allow 
for and will provide ``annual estimates'' for the major components of 
demographic change instead of the current ``once a decade'' estimate. In 
2005, the program will continue to improve its estimates of 
international migration at a sub-national level.

    Decennial Census.--The Census Bureau has begun the process of 
planning the next decennial census.

    The plan for the 2010 Census features three key components which 
will reduce operational risks, improve accuracy, provide more relevant 
data, and contain cost; (1) Establishment of an early design and 
planning process that will allow the Census Bureau to test fully all 
major elements of a simplified, streamlined census designed to collect 
the basic (``short form'') data needed to fulfill constitutional and 
legal mandates; (2) Implementation of the American Community Survey 
(ACS) to collect ``long form'' data on an annual basis, instead of 
having a long form in 2010; and (3) Enhancing the Census Bureau's 
geographic database and associated address list, referred to as MAF/
TIGER (Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding 
and Referencing) by replacing the internally developed MAF/TIGER system 
with one that uses Global Positioning System technology and aerial 
photography to update and improve the address and street information 
gathered at great expense for Census 2000. Activities in these three 
areas are highly integrated, complement each other, and form the basis 
for re-engineering the 2010 Census.

    In 2005, the Census Bureau will be continuing extensive planning, 
testing and development activities to support the re-engineered, short 
form only, 2010 Census. In 2005, the Bureau also will continue 
implementation of the ACS. To enhance the MAF/TIGER system, the Census 
Bureau will continue a multi-year effort of correcting the accuracy of 
map feature locations in 700 of the Nation's 3,233 counties.

    Demographic surveys sample redesign.--This program provides for the 
sample selection of monthly, quarterly and annual household surveys to 
conform to the redistribution of the population measured in the 
decennial census. This is done after each decennial census in order to 
select accurate samples for the major household surveys throughout the 
decade. Implementation of the first new samples began in 2004.

    Electronic information collection (EIC).--EIC is the Census Bureau's 
program to transform its business processes--the collection, processing, 
and dissemination of information. Making the greatest possible use of 
automation and telecommunications, EIC seeks to provide the tools and 
systems to deliver to our customers accurate information quickly and 
efficiently, with as little burden as possible on those who provide the 
data to the Census Bureau.

    Geographic support.--This activity's goal is to determine the 
correct location of every business establishment in the U.S. and its 
territories. The activity's major components include the TIGER data base 
and the MAF. TIGER provides maps and geographic information for data 
tabulation; MAF provides the geographically-assigned address list for 
the Nation. Together, they provide essential information and products 
critical for conducting many of the Bureau's programs.

    Data processing systems.--This activity provides for the purchase or 
renting of hardware and software needed for the Bureau's general purpose 
computing facilities.

    Performance measures.--Activities under the Periodic Censuses and 
Programs account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal 
involving promotion of economic growth. The performance goals are to 
support the economic and political foundations of the United States by 
producing benchmark measures of the economy and population for the 
administration and equitable funding of Federal, State, and local 
programs; to meet constitutional and legislative mandates by 
implementing a reengineered 2010 Census that is cost-effective, provides 
more timely data, improves coverage, accuracy, and reduces operational 
risk; and, to foster an environment that supports innovation, promotes 
data use, minimizes respondent burden, and respects individual privacy.

    A more detailed presentation of the goals, performance measures, and 
targets is found in the FY 2005 Budget Submission.

    Bureau of Economic Analysis.--The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) 
is a principal Federal statistical agency. It produces the U.S. Gross 
Domestic Product (GDP) and associated national economic accounts that 
provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy encompassing 
national, international, industry-by-industry, and regional economic 
activity. These statistics provide the means of comparing the U.S. with 
other world economies.

[[Page 213]]

    BEA's data are used to formulate and evaluate U.S. Government fiscal 
and monetary policy, including preparing the Federal budget and 
allocating over $165 billion of Federal Government support to the 
States. The BEA data are also used regularly by State and local 
governments in their planning and evaluation of public policy. In 
addition, BEA data are important to U.S. businesses; for business 
planning and the tracking of the U.S. and regional economic activity and 
development.

    To prepare the accounts, BEA assembles thousands of monthly, 
quarterly, and annual economic data series, ranging from national level 
retail sales to county level wages and salaries, and combines them into 
consistent and comprehensive sets of accounts.

    National economic accounts.--The national accounts both detail the 
relationship between U.S. economic production and the incomes it 
generates and trace the principal economic flows among the major sectors 
and industries in the economy. They are best known by summary measures 
such as gross domestic product (GDP), corporate profits, and personal 
saving. In addition, the accounts provide information on the U.S. 
capital stock by type and industry; GDP by industry; and, through the 
input-output accounts, information on how industries interact, all of 
which are used in calculating the GDP. The accounts are regarded as the 
mainstays of U.S. macroeconomic analysis.

    International economic accounts.--The international transactions 
accounts provide information on trade in goods and services, investment 
income, and government and private financial flows. They are best known 
by summary measures such as the balance of payments and the trade 
balance. In addition, the accounts provide information on the U.S. 
international investment position, which measures the value of U.S. 
international assets and liabilities. These accounts are critical 
statistical tools used in formulating and evaluating international 
economic policy. BEA's data on direct investment - the most detailed 
data set on the operations of multinational companies available - are 
used to assess the role these companies play in the global economy.

    Regional economic accounts.--The regional accounts provide data on 
total and per capita personal income by region, State, metropolitan 
area, and county, and on gross state product. The regional accounts 
statistics are essential for State government revenue forecasting, the 
allocation of Federal funds to the States, and for private sector 
investment decisions.

    Industry economic accounts.--The industry economic accounts, 
presented both in an input-output framework and as annual output by each 
industry, provide a detailed view of the interrelationships between U.S. 
producers and users and the contribution to production across 
industries. These accounts are used extensively by policymakers and 
businesses to understand industry interactions, productivity trends, and 
the changing structure of the U.S. economy.

    Implementing BEA's strategic plan.--The dynamics of the U.S. 
economy, with its growing complexity, technological advances, and 
dramatic changes in structure, make it increasingly difficult to provide 
an accurate, up-to-date picture of economic activity. Add the effects of 
recent events related to national security and the business cycle 
turndown, and it is now more important than ever that government and 
business leaders have the most relevant, accurate, and timely economic 
information possible. BEA must continually expand and improve its 
economic accounts to keep pace with the economy and meet the increased 
demand for economic information. BEA is working to overcome statistical 
weaknesses and close gaps in data coverage by developing such 
improvements as more accurate measures of services, profits, 
compensation, new quality-adjusted prices, new measures of international 
trade and finance, and accelerated release of industry and international 
trade estimates. In FY 2005, BEA will build on past progress toward 
accelerating the release of economic indicators by also accelerating its 
estimates of GDP, personal income and consumer spending, gross state 
product, metropolitan and local income, and further acceleration of the 
estimates of international trade in services.

    BEA will further improve the accuracy of its statistics in FY 2005 
by incorporating real-time data purchased from the private sector into 
its measures, expanding its surveys to collect more comprehensive--and 
more timely--data on international trade in services, updating the U.S. 
international financial accounts to meet international standards, 
improving the accuracy of the input-output accounts, integrating the new 
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) into remaining 
aspects of the accounts, and developing detailed annual capital flow 
tables to inform decisions on business investment. BEA will also work 
with the Census Bureau and other Federal agencies to fill large 
remaining gaps in data sources for services and other key components of 
the economy.

    Improving information technology.--BEA's statistical processing 
systems play an essential role in the production of the economic 
accounts. It is critical that they be redesigned to incorporate new 
methodologies and modernized to take full advantage of current 
information technology capabilities. In FY 2005, BEA will continue its 
system modernization efforts to include the international accounts, 
industry accounts, and regional accounts. BEA will continue to upgrade 
its suite of software tools (e.g. econometric and database software) 
that are critical in supporting timely and reliable economic estimates. 
BEA also will expand its electronic reporting capability to more of its 
international surveys and will continue to develop new data 
dissemination features via its website.

    Policy support.--The Economics and Statistics Administration's 
headquarters operation advises the Secretary of Commerce and other 
government officials on matters related to economic developments and 
forecasts, and the development of options and positions relating to both 
macroeconomic and microeconomic policy.

    Reimbursable program.--ESA provides economic and statistical data 
and analyses on a reimbursable and advance payment basis to other 
Federal agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such information. 
Funds received for these services cover the cost of performing this 
work.

    Activities under Economic and Statistical Analysis support the 
Commerce Department's strategic goal to provide the information and 
tools to maximize U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for 
American industries, workers, and consumers.

    Performance measures.--BEA will seek to maintain delivery of all 
data releases on schedule, and a mean rating greater than a 4.0 (on a 5-
point scale) in users' satisfaction, as determined by a customer survey. 
In addition, BEA will achieve specified milestones in improving the 
economic accounts, accelerating economic estimates, and meeting 
international obligations.

    Goal: Provide relevant, accurate and timely economic data.

                                     2003 actual 2004 target 2005 target

    The mission of the International Trade Administration (ITA) in the 
Department of Commerce is to create economic opportunity for U.S. 
workers and firms by promoting international trade, opening foreign 
markets, ensuring compliance with trade laws and agreements, and 
supporting U.S. commercial interests at home and abroad.

    Working as a key part of the Government-wide Trade Promotion 
Coordinating Committee, ITA will pursue this mission through the 
activities of its five major subdivisions and through reimbursable 
programs as follows:

    Manufacturing and services.--This new unit focuses on the domestic 
and international aspects of U.S. industrial competitiveness; works with 
U.S. industry to evaluate the needs of American manufacturers; assesses 
the economic impact of new and existing government rules and regulations 
on U.S. manufacturing competitiveness; and represents and advocates for 
the interests of the U.S. manufacturing and services sectors in the U.S. 
Government policy setting and regulatory programs.

    Market access and compliance.--The Market Access and Compliance unit 
(MAC) is the U.S. Government's front-line offensive team working to 
unlock foreign markets for American goods and services country-by-
country and region-by-region. MAC concentrates on market access issues 
and the development of strategies to overcome market access obstacles 
faced by U.S. businesses. MAC maintains in-depth knowledge of the trade 
policies of our trading partners. It monitors foreign country compliance 
with numerous multilateral and bilateral trade-related agreements, 
identifying compliance problems and other market access obstacles. MAC's 
specialists work with other Government agencies to address barriers 
rapidly, and to ensure that U.S. firms know how to use the market 
opening agreements. It provides information on foreign trade and 
business practices to U.S. firms and works to find opportunities and to 
develop market strategies in traditional markets and in the emerging 
markets. MAC's objective is to develop and to update continuously 
current and long-term market access strategies, including developing the 
information needed to conduct trade negotiations to open markets. MAC's 
specialists work hand-in-hand with U.S. business, trade associations and 
other business organizations, Commerce's industry and technical 
specialists, and the U.S. Commercial Service's domestic and overseas 
offices. This unit will continue to provide support for the operation of 
the North American Free Trade Agreement.

    Import administration.--Import Administration investigates 
antidumping and countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with 
applicable U.S. statutes and administers certain other statutory 
programs relating to imports and foreign trade zones.

    Trade promotion and the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service.--conducts a 
variety of trade promotion programs intended to broaden and deepen the 
base of U.S. exports, particularly of small and medium-sized firms; 
provides American companies with reliable advice on the range of public 
and private assistance available and knowledgeable support for all other 
Federal trade promotion services; serves as the primary sales force for 
Federal trade finance programs for smaller firms, offers export 
assistance through information, referral and follow-up services through 
its integrated global field network; and leads interagency advocacy 
efforts for major overseas projects, including early involvement in 
project development and assistance to resolve post-transaction problems.

    Administration and executive direction.--Administration and 
Executive Direction provide policy leadership and administration 
services for the other ITA subdivisions. Executive Direction includes 
the Office of the Under Secretary for International Trade, the Deputy 
Under Secretary for International Trade, and subordinate offices 
covering Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, Public Affairs, 
Office of the Chief Information Officer, and the Trade Promotion 
Coordinating Committee staff. Administration provides human resources 
serv

[[Page 216]]

ices, financial management services, and general administrative 
assistance for the other ITA subdivisions.

    Reimbursable program.--This program includes receipts for services 
rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts received on a cost 
recovery basis from private entities for trade events and export 
information services. ITA proposes to collect fees to offset the costs 
associated with services and products provided. In 2005, ITA will 
continue to improve existing products and services to U.S. businesses.

    Performance measures.--Activities under the ITA account support 
Commerce's strategic plan.

BIS's activities include regulating the export of sensitive goods and 
technologies in an effective and efficient manner; enforcing export 
control, antiboycott, and public safety laws; cooperating with and 
assisting other countries on export control and strategic trade issues; 
assisting U.S. industry to comply with international arms control 
agreements, and monitoring the viability of the U.S. defense industrial 
base, and seeking to ensure that it is capable of satisfying U.S. 
national and homeland security needs.

    Management and policy coordination.--The management and policy 
coordination program provides executive direction and policy guidance 
necessary to effectively administer U.S. export control laws and laws 
regarding the defense industrial and technology base.

    Export administration.--The export administration program safegards 
U.S. national and economic security, nonproliferation, and trade 
interests by effectively administering U.S. export control laws relating 
to dual-use technologies and weapons of mass destruction; removes 
outdated export controls; develops, promotes, and implements policies 
which ensure a strong and technologically superior defense industrial 
base; oversees compliance by the U.S. business community with the 
Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC); and implements the Nation's computer 
and encryption export policy.

    Export enforcement.--The export enforcement program protects 
national security, nonproliferation, counter-terrorism, and foreign 
policy interests by enforcing dual-use controls to ensure that illegal 
exports will be detected and either prevented or the violators 
sanctioned.

    Performance measures.--The activities under this account support the 
Commerce strategic goal to provide the information and tools to maximize 
U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for American industries, 
workers and consumers.

    The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) maintains the lead 
role within the Federal Government providing

[[Page 218]]

management and technical assistance services to minority-owned 
businesses (MBEs). MBDA's long term mission is to achieve 
entrepreneurial parity and wealth creation for the minority business 
community.

    MBDA has reengineered its organizational structure to be the 
frontline for support in business assistance, information and customer 
service and will work to promote strategic growth, job creation, and 
sustainable development for the rapidly expanding minority business 
population in the United States.

    MBDA Goal and Objectives.--In FY 2005, MBDA will expand its Goal of 
``Increase Opportunities and Access of Minority-owned Businesses in the 
Marketplace and Financing.'' MBDA will manage its programs with an 
emphasis on strategic growth, focusing on minority firms with rapid 
growth potential and the ability to create jobs and have an economic 
impact in geographical areas that have a high concentration of 
minorities. Specifically, MBDA has developed a strategy to target its 
client base for firms with $500,000 or more in annual revenues as well 
as firms with rapid growth potential but smaller annual revenues.

    Performance Measures.--MBDA activities will support the 
Administration's theme to provide the information and tools to maximize 
U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for American industries, 
workers and consumers. MBDA will strive to maximize access to capital 
and procurement contract opportunities for MBEs to significantly 
increase gross receipts and job creation within the minority business 
community.

    Goal: Increase opportunities and access to minority-owned businesses 
in the marketplace and financing.

    National Ocean Service (NOS).--These programs provide scientific, 
technical, and management expertise to promote safe navigation; assess 
the health of coastal and marine resources and respond to natural and 
human induced threats; and preserve the coastal ocean and global 
environments. To meet 21st century challenges, NOS seeks to maintain its 
suite of navigation, response and restoration, and coastal resource 
science and management programs.

    National Marine Fisheries Service.--These programs provide for the 
management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources and 
their environment, including fish stocks, marine mammals and endangered 
species. Using science-based conservation, management and restoration 
activities, these resources can benefit the Nation on a sustained basis. 
Increases are proposed to carry out the legislative mandates of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Endangered 
Species Act, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act and other 
responsibilities. These increases will allow NOAA to build sustainable 
fisheries, recover protected species and sustain healthy coastal 
ecosystems for the enjoyment of all and the communities that depend on 
them.

    Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--These programs 
provide the critical environmental research and technology needed to 
improve NOAA services (weather and air quality warnings and forecasts, 
climate predictions, and marine services) to enable the Nation to 
balance a growing economy with effective management and prediction of 
our environment and natural resources. To accomplish these goals, OAR 
supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, 
universities, and joint institutes and partnership programs. OAR 
provides the scientific basis for national policy formulation in key 
environmental areas, e.g., climate change, weather research, air 
quality, stratospheric ozone depletion, marine biotechnology, 
aquaculture, and environmental observing technologies. The NOAA-wide 
programs also funded in OAR are Climate Change Research, Ocean 
Exploration, and High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC).

    National Weather Service (NWS).--These programs provide timely and 
accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings, 
forecasts, and planning information to ensure the safety of the 
population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic 
efficiency of the Nation. NWS is also responsible for issuing 
operational climate forecasts for the United States. NWS data and 
products form a national information database and infrastructure which 
can be used by other government agencies, the private sector, the 
public, and the global community. Funds are requested to implement air 
quality forecasts, to support THORPEX, a Global Atmospheric Research 
Program, and to meet out-year performance goals for weather warnings and 
forecasts.

    National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service.--
These programs provide for operation of environmental polar-orbiting and 
geostationary satellites; for the collection and archiving of global 
environmental data and information; and services for distribution to 
users in commerce, industry, agriculture, science and engineering, the 
general public and Federal, State and local agencies.

    Program support.--These programs provide for overall NOAA management 
including the NOAA Commissioned Corps, NOAA's share of the regional 
Administrative Support Centers, and aircraft and marine data 
acquisition.

    Facilities.--This program provides for repair and maintenance to 
existing facilities; facilities planning and design; and environmental 
compliance.

    Fleet maintenance and planning.--This program provides for the 
repair and maintenance of vessels, including related equipment to 
maintain the existing fleet and for the planning of future 
modernization.

[[Page 220]]

    Foreign Fishing Observer Fund.--This fund is financed through 
collections from foreign vessel owners who fish within the U.S. 
Exclusive Economic Zone. Collections to the Fund are used by the 
Secretary of Commerce to pay the salaries of observers and program 
support personnel, the costs of data management, and analysis of the 
observer program. The observers collect scientific information on the 
foreign catch and monitor compliance with provisions of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 as amended.

    Performance measures.--Activities under this account support NOAA's 
four goals. Each goal has key supporting performance measures as 
follows:

    Goal: Improve accuracy and timeliness of weather and water 
information.

    This account funds Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery for the purpose 
of helping share the costs of State, Tribal and local conservation 
initiatives. This account supports NOAA's contribution to a broad 
interdepartmental initiative bolstering and deploying existing and new 
Federal capabilities to assist in the conservation of at-risk Pacific 
salmon runs in the western States of California, Oregon, Idaho, 
Washington, and Alaska. The ratio for Federal to State and local 
matching for these funds is three to one. In addition, funds would be 
available to coastal tribes (not to exceed 10 percent) that

do not require matching dollars. The account has been established under 
existing authorities by the Secretary of Commerce and made available 
through agreements with the Governors of each of the five States for 
distribution to assist State, Tribal and local conservation efforts. The 
Secretary will establish terms and conditions for the effective use of 
the funds and specific reporting requirements appropriate for ensuring 
full accountability of the available funds to meet the purpose of the 
account.

    An amount equal to 30 percent of the gross receipts from customs 
duties on imported fishery products is transferred to the Department of 
Commerce annually from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

    The American Fisheries Promotion Act (AFPA) of 1980 authorized a 
grants program for fisheries research and development projects to be 
carried out with Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) funds. These funds are used 
to enhance the productivity and improve the sustainable yield of 
domestic marine fisheries resources.

    The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 stipulates that sums recovered from 
awards or settlements for natural resource damages to NOAA trust 
resources shall be retained in a revolving trust account to permit NOAA 
to carry out (1) oil and hazardous materials contingency planning and 
response, (2) natural resource damage assessment, and (3) restoration or 
replacement of injured or lost natural resources. For a comprehensive 
description of the Prince William Sound Restoration Program, refer to 
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Natural Resource Damage Assessment 
account. The 2004 and 2005 estimates transferred from other accounts are 
preliminary and subject to change. NOAA will utilize funds transferred 
to this account to respond to hazardous materials spills in the coastal 
and marine environments, by conducting damage assessments, providing 
scientific support during litigation, and using recovered damages to 
restore injured resources.

    The North Pacific Marine Research Institute Fund was created by 
Section 2204 of P.L. 106-246. Funds are to be administered by the North 
Pacific Research Board to conduct research and carry out education and 
demonstration projects relating to the North Pacific main ecosystem. The 
emphasis of these projects is on marine mammals, sea birds, fish and 
shellfish populations in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska and near the 
Alaska Marine National Wildlife Refuge. These funds are being used to 
cover the lease, maintenance, and operation costs and to upgrade 
research equipment for the Alaska Sea Life Center.

    The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers 
the patent and trademark laws, which provide protection to inventors and 
businesses for their inventions and corporate and product 
identifications, and encourages innovation and the scientific and 
technical advancement of American industry through the preservation, 
classification, and dissemination of patent and trademark information. 
In addition to the examination of applications for patent grants and 
trademark registrations, the USPTO provides technical advice and 
information to other Executive Branch agencies on intellectual property 
matters and the trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights.

    Under the Administration's proposal, the USPTO would have a program 
level of $1,533 million in 2005 and fees of $1,533 million. The $1,533 
million fee level assumes enactment of legislation, proposed with the 
2004 Budget, to restructure statutory fees in support of the goals and 
objectives of the USPTO's 21st Century Strategic Plan, including 
proposed quality initiatives, E-Government initiatives, and acceleration 
of patent processing.

    During 2005, the Office will continue to operate through two 
distinct business lines:

    Patent business.--The Patent Business grants exclusive rights, for 
limited times, to inventors for their discoveries. The activities under 
this business include all functions in the patent application processing 
pipeline, including the initial administrative examination of patent 
applications, the processing of patent applications filed under the 
Patent Cooperation Treaty, the formal examination of patent applications 
to determine the patentability of a claimed invention, the post-
examination processing and printing of allowed patents, the review for 
quality, and the quasi-judicial review in appeal and interference 
proceedings. Other ancillary functions of the Patent Business are the 
classification, documentation and search systems, and the maintenance of 
a scientific and technical library.

    Resources requested in 2005 are to continue with the implementation 
of E-Government in Patents. Funds are also requested to begin 
competitively sourcing classification and search functions currently 
performed by patent examiners, thereby redirecting patent examiner 
expertise to the core government function of examination. Additional 
resources will be used to expand bilateral and multilateral agreements 
to strengthen intellectual property rights globally and reduce 
duplication of effort among intellectual property offices.

    Key Patent Business performance measures follow. These measures 
apply to the President's request of $1,533,407,000.

    Trademark business.-- The Trademark Business enhances the protection 
of trademarks through Federal registration. The activities under this 
business include the examination of trademark applications to determine 
whether the statutory criteria for the Federal registration of a trade 
or service mark are met. The Office issues notices of allowance and 
certificates of registration based on a trademark attorney's 
determination. Trademark application examination activities also include 
inter parte proceedings involving oppositions, cancellations and ex 
parte proceedings.

    The 2005 program level provides resources to fund 2005 trademark 
programs and staff levels, including inflationary adjustments. 
Additional funding is provided in 2005 to continue work focused on 
achieving a fully electronic workplace to be completed in 2005 that will 
improve timeliness and productivity in the trademark business.

    Key Trademark Business quantity and quality performance measures 
follow. These measures apply to the President's request of 
$1,533,407,000.

                          Salaries and expenses

              (Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO)

    Upon enactment of authorization to increase fees collected pursuant 
to 35 U.S.C. 41, any resulting increased receipts may be collected and 
credited to this account as offsetting collections: Provided, That not 
to exceed $218,754,000 derived from such offsetting collections shall be 
available until expended for authorized purposes: Provided, That the 
total amount appropriated from fees collected in fiscal year 2005, 
including such increased fees, shall not exceed $1,533,407,000: 
Provided, That beginning in fiscal year 2005 and thereafter, from the

States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), the amounts necessary to pay 
(1) the difference between the percentage of basic pay contributed by 
the PTO and employees under section 8334(a) of title 5, United States 
Code, and the normal cost percentage (as defined by section 8331(17) of 
that title) of basic pay, of employees subject to subchapter III of 
chapter 83 of that title; and (2) the present value of the otherwise 
unfunded accruing costs, as determined by the Office of Personnel 
Management, of post-retirement life insurance and post-retirement health 
benefits coverage for all PTO employees, shall be transferred to the 
Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, the Employees Life 
Insurance Fund, and the Employees Health Benefits Fund, as appropriate,

    The Administration proposed legislation with the 2004 Budget to 
restructure USPTO's statutory fees charged for its products and 
services. This legislation was proposed as part of USPTO's strategic 
plan, developed in 2002, to address the growing backlogs, increasing 
pendency, and need to improve the quality of its products. The Agency 
determined that, in addition to improving the use of its current 
resources, significant new investments were needed in automation and 
examiner resources to address these concerns and meet current and future 
requirements of the intellectual property community.

    Relative to current law, the legislation is expected to raise fee 
collections by $219 million in FY 2005. These additional funds will 
provide sufficient resources to both allow the agency to implement its 
strategic plan initiatives and transfer to the Office of Personnel 
Management the accruing indirect personnel costs associated with post-
retirement health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits of 
USPTO employees.

    The Technology Administration (TA) is the principal civilian 
technology agency working with industry to improve U.S. industrial 
competitiveness and serves as an advocate for U.S. industry in the 
Executive Branch, before Congress, and in international fora. It 
discharges this role through the leadership of the Under Secretary for 
Technology; through the Office of Technology Policy's analysis, 
formulation, and advocacy of policies to maximize the contribution of 
technology to economic growth; through the technology development, 
diffusion, and commercialization programs of the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology; and through the dissemination of technological 
information by the National Technical Information Service.

health care, and education, through performance excellence criteria and 
other information transfer, and administration of the Malcolm Baldrige 
National Quality Award.

    Research support activities.--Includes centrally managed activities 
that provide support to all other NIST programs. This support includes 
advanced capabilities development in NIST mission-oriented areas of 
research, high caliber postdoctoral scientists and engineers, computing 
support for research programs, business systems activities, and support 
for the Advanced Measurement Laboratory facility.

    Performance measures.--The activities under this account support 
Commerce's strategic goal of fostering science and technological 
leadership by protecting intellectual property, enhancing technical 
standards and advancing measurement science.

    Performance goals:

    1. The NIST laboratories pursue two overarching goals: (1) provide 
technical leadership for the Nation's measurement and standards 
infrastructure; and (2) assure the availability and efficient transfer 
of measurement and standards capabilities essential to established 
industries. NIST evaluates its performance toward these goals through a 
combination of evaluation methods, including external peer review 
(conducted by the National Research Council), economic impact studies, 
and evaluation of numerous scientific and technical outputs (key outputs 
listed below).

    2. Catalyze, recognize and reward quality and performance 
improvement practices in U.S. businesses and other organizations.

    This appropriation supports the extension of technology to American 
industry and fosters the development of broad-based, high-risk 
technology by industry.

    Extramural programs:

    Advanced technology program (ATP).--The ATP endeavors to help 
accelerate the commercialization of high-risk, broad-benefit enabling 
technologies with significant commercial potential. ATP is a merit-
based, rigorously competitive, cost-shared partnership program that 
provides assistance to U.S. businesses and joint R&D ventures to help 
them improve their competitive position. The President's 2005 Budget 
proposes to eliminate the program and, therefore, no funds are requested 
for FY 2005.

    Manufacturing extension partnership (MEP).--As a nationwide system 
of centers serving clients in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, MEP's goal 
is to improve the competitiveness of U.S.-based small manufacturers. MEP 
does this by providing information, decision support, and implementation 
assistance to small manufacturers in adopting advanced manufacturing 
technologies and business best practices. The centers are created 
through a partnership among State, Federal, and local governments, 
educational institutions, and private industry, and they tailor services 
to meet the needs of the local manufacturing base in the area.

    Performance measures.--The activities under this account support the 
Commerce strategic goal to foster science and technological leadership 
by protecting intellectual property, enhancing technical standards and 
advancing measurement science. The performance of these activities is 
evaluated through a combination of external review, economic impact 
studies, and evaluation of numerous quantitative outcomes and outputs.

    Performance goals:

    1. Accelerate private investment in and development of high-risk, 
broad-impact technologies.

    2. Raise the productivity and competitiveness of small 
manufacturers.

    The National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
(NTIA) is the principal executive branch adviser to the President on 
domestic and international telecommunications policy. Additionally, it 
manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and 
performs extensive research in telecommunication sciences.

    Domestic and international policies.--NTIA develops and advocates 
policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications services and 
markets. NTIA provides advice to White House officials, coordinates with 
other Executive Branch agencies, and participates in relevant 
Congressional actions and interagency and Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC) proceedings on a host of issues. NTIA's focus is on 
current and emerging issues such as the deployment of broadband networks 
and services. NTIA develops policies promoting universal service to all 
Americans, competition in telecommunications and information markets, 
and development of new technologies. NTIA makes policy recommendations 
in such areas as traditional common carrier networks, wireless services 
and products, the mass media (including advanced television), as well as 
issues arising from the Internet and electronic commerce.

    NTIA advocates the advancement of U.S. priorities in the 
international telecommunications policy and regulatory areas. NTIA will 
continue to encourage forcefully the broad liberalization of 
telecommunication regulations now taking hold across the globe that 
create significant opportunities for U.S. telecommunications interests 
and enterprises, including emphasis on the international development of 
electronic commerce as an essential element of today's information 
society. NTIA supports U.S. interests in international and regional fora 
affecting telecommunications standards, infrastructure development and 
market access. NTIA also represents Executive Branch concerns related to 
international telecommunications regulation before the FCC. In 
coordination with the Department of State and the FCC, the agency also 
discharges statutory responsibilities with respect to international 
satellite organizations.

    Spectrum management.--NTIA manages the Federal Government's use of 
the radio frequency spectrum, both domestically and internationally. In 
coordination with the FCC and with the advice of the Interdepartment 
Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC), NTIA supports the spectrum requirements 
of the Federal Government, makes plans to satisfy the Government's 
future spectrum needs, coordinates Federal spectrum requirements in 
shared spectrum bands, and develops and implements policy to use the 
spectrum effectively and efficiently. NTIA prepares for, participates 
in, and implements the results of regional, national, and international 
conferences on spectrum use and allocations. NTIA also is responsible 
for emergency communications and Federal Government continuity of 
operations planning for communications during emergency conditions. NTIA 
coordinates its activities with the private sector through its spectrum 
openness program and its Internet web site and apprises private sector 
entities of Government spectrum use and rules and regulations governing 
this use. NTIA reviews major Federal communications systems to certify 
that spectrum will be available; conducts frequency band studies to 
define spectrum issues and makes plans to prevent future interference; 
and processes approximately 90,000 annual requests for frequency 
assignments to meet the communications needs of the Federal Government 
and support analysis and engineering aspects of spectrum management. 
NTIA also strives to identify and apply new spectrum saving 
technologies, identify adjacent band effects for use by designers of 
future communications, and address the public safety community's need 
for spectrum and interoperability at the Federal, State, and local 
levels.

    Telecommunication sciences research.--NTIA develops improved 
spectrum measurement techniques to address the increasing use of 
broadband technologies, including digital signals, spread-spectrum, and 
frequency agile systems. NTIA supports the development of wireless 
technologies by studying the behavior of broadband radio waves in indoor 
and outdoor environments in order to create more accurate modeling of 
radio propagation that will lead to improved methods of spectrum sharing 
among users. Additionally, NTIA prepares and coordinates proposed 
domestic and international telecommunications standards, develops and 
demonstrates user-friendly ways to assess the performance of industry 
and Government telecommunications networks, evaluates future 
technologies that may facilitate competition in the U.S. 
telecommunications industry, promotes international trade opportunities 
for U.S. telecommunications firms and improves the cost effectiveness of 
Government telecommunications use.

                        Spectrum Relocation Fund

    The Administration will again propose legislation to streamline the 
current process for reimbursing Federal agencies that must relocate from 
Federal spectrum which has been reallocated for auction to commercial 
users. Under current law, winning bidders must negotiate with Federal 
entities upon the close of an auction and reimburse the agencies 
directly for their relocation costs. The Administration proposes to 
streamline this process by creating a central spectrum relocation fund. 
Auction receipts associated with the reallocated spectrum would be paid 
into the Fund and Federal agencies would be paid for their relocation 
costs out of the Fund. To expedite the clearing of the auctioned 
spectrum, the legislation would provide agencies mandatory spending 
authority for the relocation payments. The estimated mandatory spending 
is $2.5 billion from 2006 to 2011. The budget includes a Government-wide 
allowance for the estimated aggregated collections and outlays for 
agencies' relocation costs.

    Aleutian Islands approved by the North Pacific Fishery Management

    carrying out paragraph (1) the Secretary shall approve all parts of 
    the Program referred to in such paragraph. Further, no part of such 
    Program may be implemented if, as approved by the North Pacific 
    Fishery Management Council, individual fishing quotas, processing

    authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale and 
    possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies may 
    request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons are not 
    necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all firearms 
    used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in 
    crime.

    determining which types, makes or models of firearms are used for 
    illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute a ran

[[Page 243]]

    dom sample and should not be considered representative of the larger 
    universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset of that 
    universe. Firearms are normally traced to the first retail seller,

    represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general are

in full amounts made available to the fund. Such investments may be made 
only in interest-bearing obligations of the United States or in 
obligations guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the United 
States. The interest on, and the proceeds from the sale or redemption

determined, for purposes of section 6(j)(1) of the Export Administration 
Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j)(1)), has repeatedly provided support

    [Sec. 637. (a) This section may be cited as the ``HELP Commission 
Act''.
    (b)(1) The Congress finds that, despite the long-standing efforts 
and resources of the United States dedicated to helping needy people 
around the world, despair remains and in many areas is growing.
    (2) Therefore, a commission should be established to bring together 
the best minds associated with development and humanitarian assistance 
to make a comprehensive review of--
        (A) policy decisions, including why certain development projects 
    are funded and others are not, successes, and best practices, 
    including their applicability to other existing programs and 
    projects;
        (B) delivery obstacles, including the roles of United States 
    agencies and other governmental and nongovernmental organizations;
        (C) methodology, including whether the delivery of United States 
    development assistance always represents best practices and whether 
    it can be improved; and
        (D) results, including measuring improvements in human capacity 
    instead of in purely economic terms.
    (3) An examination of these issues should present new approaches and 
ideas to ensure that United States development assistance reaches and 
benefits its intended recipients.
    (c)(1) There is established the Helping to Enhance the Livelihood of 
People (HELP) Around the Globe Commission (in this section referred to 
as the ``Commission'').
    (2) The Commission shall--
        (A) identify the past and present objectives of United States 
    development assistance, identify cases in which those objectives 
    have been met, identify the beneficiaries of such assistance, and 
    what percentage of the funds provided actually reached the intended 
    beneficiaries;
        (B) identify cases in which United States development assistance 
    has been most successful, and analyze how such successes may be 
    transferable to other countries or areas;
        (C) study ways to expand educational opportunities and 
    investments in people, and assess infrastructure needs;
        (D) analyze how the United States could place conditions on 
    governments in countries receiving United States development 
    assistance, in light of and notwithstanding the objectives of the 
    Millennium Challenge Account;
        (E) analyze ways in which the United States can coordinate its 
    development assistance programs with those of other donor countries 
    and international organizations;
        (F) analyze ways in which the safety of development assistance 
    workers can be ensured, particularly in the midst of conflicts;
        (G) compare the effectiveness of increased and open trade with 
    development assistance, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages 
    of such trade and whether such trade could be a more effective 
    alternative to United States development assistance;
        (H) analyze ways in which the United States can strengthen the 
    capacity of indigenous nongovernmental organizations to be more 
    effective in grassroots development;
        (I) analyze ways in which decisions on providing development 
    assistance can involve more of the people of the recipient 
    countries;
        (J) analyze ways in which results can be measured if United 
    States development assistance is targeted to the least developed 
    countries;
        (K) recommend standards that should be set for ``graduating'' 
    recipient countries from United States development assistance;
        (L) analyze whether United States development assistance should 
    be used as a means to achieve United States foreign policy 
    objectives;
        (M) analyze how the United States can evaluate the performance 
    of its development assistance programs not only against economic 
    indicators, but in other ways, including how to measure the success 
    of United States development assistance in democratization efforts; 
    and evaluate the existing foreign assistance framework to ascertain 
    the degree of coordination, or lack thereof, of the disparate 
    foreign development programs as administered by the various Federal 
    agencies, to identify and assess the redundancies of programs and 
    organizational structures engaged in foreign assistance, and to 
    recommend revisions to authorizing legislation for foreign 
    assistance that would seek to reconcile competing foreign policy and 
    foreign aid goals; and
        (N) study any other areas that the Commission considers 
    necessary relating to United States development assistance.
    (d)(1) The Commission shall be composed of 21 members as follows:
        (A) Six members shall be appointed by the President, of whom at 
    least two shall be representatives of nongovernmental organizations.
        (B) Four members shall be appointed by the majority leader of 
    the Senate, and three members shall be appointed by the minority 
    leader of the Senate.
        (C) Four members shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House
