1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Family and

account described in subsection (a) of section 415 of Public Law
104-1 to pay awards and settlements as authorized under such
subsection.

addition, CBO provides Congress with multi-year cost estimates for
reported bills, as well as analyses of the costs of state, local,
tribal, or private sector mandates.

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.

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 limited 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.

U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.--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 by Division P of the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution,
2003 (Public Law 108-7), as amended by Public Law 109-108 (November 10,
2005). The statute gives the Commission the mandate to monitor,
investigate, and assess the ``national security implications of the
bilateral trade and economic relationship between the United States and
the People's Republic of China.'' Its members are appointed by
Congressional leaders, and its statutory mandate is to report to
Congress on Chinese proliferation practices; the qualitative and
quantitative nature of economic transfers of U.S. production activities
to China; the effect of China's development on world energy supplies;
the access to and use of U.S. capital markets by China; China's regional
economic and security impacts; U.S.-China bilateral programs and
agreements; China's compliance with its accession agreement to the World
Trade Organization; and the implications of China's restrictions on
freedom of expression. The Commission reports annually on these issues
to the Congress, making recommendations for policy action and
legislation when appropriate. In order to obtain new information and
perspectives on these issues, the USCC conducts hearings throughout the
year and maintains a website containing the records of these proceedings
as well as original commissioned research on economic and security
matters related to the Commission's statutory mandate.
The Commission is comprised of 12 Commissioners, 3 Commissioners
appointed by each leader in the House and Senate, supported by a
professional staff numbering approximately 15. The chairmanship of the
USCC rotates between a Republican and a Democratic Commissioner upon
issuance of each annual report to Congress.

This presentation includes a number of accounts including
Competitiveness Policy Council; Commission on Immigration Reform;
National Commission on Cost of Higher Education; National Commission on
Restructuring the Internal Revenue Service and the following:
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 will be
submitted in April 2007, as required by law. The Commission conducted
public hearings and other information gathering, including solicitation
of comments from the public, during 2005 and deliberated and drafted its
report during 2006. The Commission will finalize, print, and deliver its
report to Congress and the President in 2007, after which the
Commission, by law, will terminate. Accordingly, the Commission has not
submitted a budget request for FY 2008. The Commission consists of 12
members, 4 of whom were appointed by the President, 4 of whom were
appointed by the leadership of the Senate, and 4 of whom were appointed
by the leadership of the House of Representatives. The Commission is
supported by a professional staff of about 10 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
[[Page 40]]
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.
