The Judiciary Office Building Development Act, Public Law 100-480,
among other purposes, authorized 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.
Estimates shown are consistent with the requirements of the Budget
Enforcement Act and are presented with the agreement of the Budget and
Appropriations Committees.

[[Page 31]]
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 and 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 and reference
services to the U.S. Congress in national, international, comparative
and foreign law. Additionally, the Law Library provides bibliographic
and informational services, background papers, comparative legal
studies, legal interpretations, and translations to Members and
Committees of Congress, the Congressional Research Service, Justices of
the Supreme Court and other members of the federal Judiciary, the
Departments of State, Homeland Security, Treasury, and Justice, and
other federal agencies. The Law Library acquires, processes, and
preserves legal materials in all languages from all countries of the
world. 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.

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 325 weeks. Trials
are held in approximately 80 cities throughout the United States.

Antitrust Modernization Commission.--The Antitrust Modernization
Commission was created by Congress in Public Law No. 107-273, 11051-
60, 116 Stat. 1856, as an independent legislative commission. The
Commission is charged with examining: (1) whether the need exists to
modernize the antitrust laws; (2) to solicit views of all parties
concerned with the operation of the antitrust laws; (3) to evaluate the
advisability of proposals and current arrangements; and (4) to prepare
and submit to Congress and the President a report containing ``a
detailed statement of the findings and conclusions of the Commission,
together with recommendations for legislative or administrative action
the Commission considers to be appropriate.'' The report is required by
law to be submitted by April 1, 2007. The Commission will conduct public
hearings and other information gathering, including solicitation of
comments from the public, during 2005 and will draft its report during
2006. The Commission consists of 12 members, 4 of which were appointed
by the President, 4 of which were appointed by the leadership of the
Senate, and 4 of which were appointed by the leadership of the House of
Representatives. The Commission is supported by a professional staff of
about 5 people and by the intermittent use of advisors and consultants.
The Chair of the Commission is designated by the President.
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.
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.
