The Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA) established an independent Office of Compliance to apply the rights and
protections of the following labor and employment statutes to covered employees within the Legislative Branch: the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act of 1967, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, chapter
71 of title 5 of the U.S. Code (relating to Federal service labor-management relations), the Employee Polygraph Protection
Act of 1988, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and chapter 43 of title
38 of the U.S. Code (relating to veterans' employment and reemployment). This Act was amended in 1998 to apply the Veterans
Employment Opportunities Act. In 2008, the CAA was amended to apply the Genetic Information and Nondiscrimination Act of 2008.
The Office provides employees and employing offices with an independent, neutral dispute resolution process, as an alternative
to the court system, through which they may adjudicate claims under the laws applied by the CAA. The Office is headed by a
five-member Board of Directors, who are appointed jointly by the House and Senate majority and minority leadership.

Awards and Settlements Funds
Section 415 of the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA) established "an account of the Office in the Treasury of the United
States for the payment of awards and settlements under this Act,'' and further authorized to be appropriated "such sums as
may be necessary to pay such awards and settlements.'' Section 415 stipulated that awards and settlements under the CAA should
only be paid from that account, which was to be kept separate from the operating expenses account of the Office of Compliance.
The Legislative Branch Appropriations Acts have appropriated funds for awards and settlements under the CAA by means of the
following language:
Such sums as may be necessary are appropriated to the account described in subsection (a) of section 415 of Public Law 104–1
to pay awards and settlements as authorized under such subsection.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) was established as a non-partisan office of Congress by Title II of the Congressional
Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). CBO provides objective economic and budgetary analysis
and information to assist Congress in the fulfillment of its responsibilities. That information includes forecasts of the
economy, analyses of economic trends and alternative fiscal policies, long-term projections of federal spending and revenue,
and, upon request, studies on budget-related issues. In 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.

materials for use; serving the public and maintaining and managing the Library's universal collections, which are the largest
and most diverse in the world; and, the preservation of materials for use now and in the future. It also develops, produces,
markets, and distributes the Library's cataloging records and cataloging-related publications, tools, and related resources
to other libraries around the world that rely on the Library's standards and technical publications to manage their collections
for effective access. Library Services also serves the public and contributes directly to the nation's educational and intellectual
life through programs and activities that interpret and promote the Library's resources and the use of its unparalleled collections
onsite as well as via the Internet.
Office of Strategic Initiatives._The Office of Strategic Initiatives (OSI) supports the Library by developing consolidated plans for the Library's digital
future, integrating the delivery of digital content and information technology services and infrastructure. Through the balanced
use of technology, OSI facilitates achieving the Library's goals by sustaining a foward-looking information technology infrastructure
that supports the Library's key business lines and enables constituent interaction. OSI maintains stewardship over the Library's
information technology investments and the infrastructure that sustains digital content assets and services. OSI also oversees
the Library's national programs for digital content preservation and education outreach. The national preservataion program
catalyzes public-private partnership networks to jointly sustain at-risk cultural heritage content. The national education
outreach network encourages kindergarten through twelfth grade educational use of the Library's online primary sources.
Law Library._The Law Library of Congress (LAW) is the world's largest law and legislative library. Its primary mission is to provide the
United States Congress, Executive Branch agencies, federal courts, the legal community, and others with legal research and/or
reference services in foreign, international, and comparative law. LAW's core research capacity includes foreign and U.S.
trained attorneys and librarians. They use LAW's collection of more than 5 million volumes or volume-equivalents of comprehensive
legal materials, including nearly 3 million books and periodicals. These cover approximately 240 legal systems and jurisdictions.
LAW acquires, maintains, and preserves its collection in both analog and digital formats, and draws on virtual technology
to make the collection accessible through various systems and products. The Law Library is the content manager for Congress.gov,
which makes federal legislative information freely available to the public, includes full texts of bills, resolutions, the
Congressional Record, legislative calendars, committee information, treaties plus a full range of other congressional material.
Additional LAW-supported systems and products provide access to historic legislative documents which focus on legal research
techniques, events and issues. The Law Library assists Congress and other constituents with the exchange of legal sources
online through which foreign legislatures and government agencies and international and multi-national organizations contribute
laws, regulations, and related legal materials accessible via the Internet.
Office of Support Operations._The Office of Support Operations provides centralized leadership and management of essential infrastructure services that
support the mission and strategic objectives of the entire Library of Congress. In collaboration with customers, the Office
of Support Operations provides services that enable the Library to fulfill its mission through the following program offices:
Human Resources Services, Integrated Support Services, the Office of Security and Emergency Preparedness, and the Office of
Opportunity, Inclusiveness and Compliance.
Office of the Inspector General._The Office of the Inspector General (OIG), an independent office within the Library of Congress, has a statutory mandate to
provide policy direction for and conduct, supervise, and coordinate performance and financial audits, administrative and criminal
investigations, and other reviews relating to programs and operations of the Library; review and make recommendations on the
impact of existing and proposed legislation and Library regulations; recommend policies for, and conduct, supervise, or coordinate
other activities carried out or financed by the Library for the purpose of promoting economy and efficiency and preventing
and detecting fraud, waste, and abuse in Library programs and operations; coordinate relationships between the Library and
other organizations and entities with respect to OIG matters; keep the Librarian and the Congress informed about serious problems
relating to the programs and operations of the Library; recommend corrective action and report on the progress made in implementing
such corrective actions; and provide leadership and coordination and recommend policies to promote effective management.

The Copyright Office operates the largest database of information in the world for copyright ownership and licensing title,
approximately two-thirds of which is funded by fees paid by authors and other copyright owners, and the remainder of which
is funded by appropriated dollars, in the interest of commerce and for the benefit of the general public. The amount requested
is more than offset by fees received for services rendered and the value of books and other materials deposited with the Office
in accordance with the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. subsections 407 and 408) and transferred to the Library of Congress. The receipts
and obligations for 2013, and estimates for 2014 and 2015 are as follows:

The Office of the Superintendent of Documents operates under a separate appropriation that provides funds (salaries and expenses)
for: (1) the distribution of certain tangible publications to Members of Congress and other Government agencies, as authorized
by law; (2) the distribution of Government publications to designated Federal depository libraries, as authorized by law,
including tangible Government information products and online access to about 50 collections of Federal Government information
with over 9 million searchable documents via GPO's Federal Digital System (FDsys); (3) the compilation of catalogs and indexes
of Government publications, as authorized by law; and (4) the distribution of Federal Government publications to foreign governments
in the International Exchange Service. 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 (By-Law Distribution)._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.
Federal Depository Library Program._Established by Congress to ensure the American public has access to its Government's information, the Federal Depository Library
Program (FDLP) involves the acquisition, format conversion, and distribution of depository materials and the coordination
of Federal depository libraries across the country.
The mission of the FDLP is to disseminate information products from all three branches of the Government to about 1,200 libraries
nationwide. Libraries that have been designated as Federal depositories maintain these information products (as provided by
GPO) as part of their existing collections and are responsible for assuring that the public has free access to the material
provided by the FDLP.
Included in this program is the maintenance and expansion of free, electronic access to information products produced by the
Federal Government via FDsys. Electronic information dissemination and access have greatly expanded the number of publications
offered to the Federal depository libraries as well as increasing public use of the FDLP content. As the FDLP continues its
transition to a primarily electronic program, the costs of the program are increasingly related to identifying, acquiring,
cataloging, linking to, authenticating, modernizing, and providing permanent public access to electronic Government information,
which involves recurring costs.
Cataloging and indexing._The Office of Superintendent of Documents is charged with preparing catalogs and indexes of all publications issued by the
Federal Government that are not confidential in character. The principal publication is the web-based "Catalog of U.S. Government
Publications" (CGP). GPO's goal is to expand the CGP to a more comprehensive title listing of public documents, both historic
and electronic, to increase the visibility and use of Government information products.
International exchange._Under the direction of the Library of Congress (LC), the Superintendent of Documents distributes tangible Government publications
to foreign governments that agree to send the United States similar publications of their governments for the LC collections.

By law, GPO's revolving fund is used to finance GPO's printing, print procurement, and sales of Government publications operations.
Approximately 70 percent of GPO's printing revenue is from procured printed products and related services for customer agencies.
This work is procured through GPO's Customer Services business unit utilizing the private sector printing industry. These
printing and printing related requirements are effectively satisfied through this procurement activity because the highly
competitive process provides access to the vast resources, expertise, and specialization within the commercial sector at the
most cost effective price.
GPO's in-plant facility provides electronic and tangible print products in support of the information and day-to-day business
needs of Congress and Federal agencies. GPO produces the Congressional Record overnight when Congress is in session, and bills, hearings, documents, reports and committee prints in time to support Congress'
legislative needs. Also produced are the Federal Register, the Code of Federal Regulations, and other key Government documents, such as the annual U.S. Budget.
With a few exceptions, the paper used to produce the printed documents by GPO and its contractors meets or exceeds Federal
recycled paper requirements and all GPO printing inks are manufactured from vegetable oil in accordance with the Vegetable
Ink Printing Act of 1994.
GPO plays a critical role in America's security by producing Secure Federal Credentials, including the U.S Passport for the
Department of State and secure credentials, many with "smart card" features combining print and digital security features,
for Federal agencies. GPO has produced the U.S. Passport for the Department of State for more than 80 years.
By law, GPO offers Government publications for sale to the public. Thousands of titles are for sale at any given time, including
books, CD-ROMs, and other electronic formats. Some titles are available in e-book format. GPO's publications sales program
provides the public with a wide variety of low cost consumer-oriented publications as well as Congressional documents and
Executive and Judicial publications. Documents can also be ordered through GPO's secure Online Bookstore site at
http://bookstore.gpo.gov. Free low cost publications are distributed through the Federal Citizen Information Center in Pueblo, CO. GPO also provides
publications distribution services for Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis.

"(B) all documents and information required with respect to the protest may be disseminated and made available to the parties
to the protest through electronic means.
"(2)Imposition of fees.—
"(A)In general.—The Comptroller General may require each person who files a protest under this subchapter to pay a fee to support the establishment
and operation of the electronic system under this subsection, without regard to whether or not the person uses the system
with respect to the protest.
"(B)Amount.—The Comptroller General shall establish (and from time to time shall update) a schedule setting forth the amount of the
fee to be paid under subparagraph (A).
"(3)Treatment of amounts collected.—

the electronic system under this subsection, and shall deposit all amounts received as fees under paragraph (2) into the account.
"(B)Use of amounts.—Amounts in the account maintained under this paragraph shall be available to the Comptroller General, without fiscal year
limitation, solely to establish and operate the electronic system under this subsection.''.]
SEC. 1. Government Accountability Office Reviews and Reports.—
Section 901 of division A of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5) is amended—
(a) in paragraph (a)(1) by striking "bimonthly" and inserting in its place "annual"; and
(b) in subsection (a) by adding at the end the following new paragraph: "(3) The Comptroller General shall conduct reviews and
prepare reports under this subsection through October 1, 2015."
SEC. 2. Federal Government Details.—
Section 731 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
"(k) Federal Government Details.—The activities of the Government Accountability Office may, in the reasonable discretion
of the Comptroller General, be carried out by receiving details of personnel from other branches or agencies of the Federal
Government, on a nonreimbursable basis.".
SEC. 3. Center for Audit Excellence.— (a) In General.—Chapter 7 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new subchapter:
"Subchapter VII—Center for Audit Excellence
" 791. Findings
The Congress finds the following:
(a) The Government Accountability Office is a global leader in developing, applying, and interpreting Government Auditing
Standards and other guidance relevant to federal, state, local and international audit institutions.
(b) There is worldwide demand for an organization like the Government Accountability Office to assume a greater leadership
role in building institutional auditing capacity and promoting good governance by providing affordable, relevant, and high-quality
training, technical assistance, and related products and services to personnel and organizations throughout the domestic and
international auditing communities.
(c) The Government Accountability Office is well-positioned to establish a Center for Audit Excellence that will serve not
only as a means to improve domestic audit capabilities, but also as a powerful national tool for promoting good governance,
political and economic stability, transparency, and accountability around the world.
(d) Because the United States has become increasingly dependent on global supply chains to ensure reliable access to a wide
range of essential products, including food, medicine, and advanced technologies, promotion of high-quality audit institutions
and governance standards will serve the safety and well-being of the American people.
(e) Such a Center could also provide reciprocal benefits to the Government Accountability Office by enhancing institutional
expertise, expanding its domestic and global networks, and strengthening staff experience and professional development.
(f) An appropriately designed and implemented Center could be established with minimal expenditure of appropriated funds,
and, once established, operated on a fee-based basis requiring no additional appropriated funds.
" 792. Center for Audit Excellence
(a) Establishment of Center.— The Comptroller General shall establish, maintain, and operate a Center for Audit Excellence
(hereinafter in this subchapter referred to as the "Center") within the Government Accountability Office, in order to build
institutional auditing capacity and promote good governance by providing affordable, relevant, and high-quality training,
technical assistance, and related products and services to personnel and organizations from throughout the domestic and international
auditing communities. The Center shall be headed by a Director, who shall be appointed by the Comptroller General. The Center
shall be designated the "Center for Audit Excellence."
(b) Scope. — The Center may provide training, technical assistance, and related products and services to appropriate personnel
and entities from the Federal Government, state, local, territorial and tribal governments, foreign governments, international
organizations, and private entities.
(c) Fees—
(1) The Comptroller General may establish, charge, and collect fees for the Center's products and services under subsection
(b) on a reimbursable or advance-of-funds basis.
(2) Amounts collected under this subsection (including reimbursements and surcharges deemed necessary by the Comptroller General)
shall be deposited to the appropriation currently available to the Government Accountability Office and remain available until
expended, without further appropriation, for necessary expenses of the Center and other expenses as described under paragraph
(3).
(3) The Comptroller General may designate additional categories of necessary expenses under paragraph (2), subject to a finding
that such additional categories of expenses are necessary expenses of the Government Accountability Office.

may appoint, pay, assign, and remove officers and employees, and procure the services of experts and consultants, such as
the Comptroller General decides are necessary to carry out the responsibilities of the Center.

(1) The Comptroller General may accept and use conditional or non-conditional gifts of property, both real and personal, and
may accept gifts of services, including from guest lecturers, for otherwise authorized activities of the Center.

The United States Tax Court (referred to herein as the Tax Court or Court) was established in 1969 under Article I of the
United States Constitution. The Court's jurisdiction is established by U.S. Code Title 26 (the Internal Revenue Code). The
Court is a court of law, which the Supreme Court has said closely resembles the Federal District Courts and solely exercises
judicial powers. It is also a court of national jurisdiction and conducts trial sessions in 74 cities throughout the United
States.
The Tax Court is independent of the Executive and Legislative Branches. It is not affiliated with the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). It is one of three courts in which taxpayers can bring suit to contest IRS liability determinations, and the only
one in which taxpayers can do so without prepaying any portion of the disputed taxes.
By law, the Tax Court is authorized 19 judges who, among themselves, elect one as Chief Judge. Judges are appointed to 15-year
terms by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Retired (also known as Senior) judges may be recalled
by the Chief Judge to perform judicial duties. The Chief Judge is also authorized to appoint special trial judges who have
statutory authority to decide several categories of cases, including cases involving up to $50,000 in dispute per tax year.
Decisions by the Tax Court are reviewable by the United States Courts of Appeals and, if certiorari is granted, by the Supreme Court.

US-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 effects of transfers of U.S. economic 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 18. The chairmanship of the USCC rotates between a Republican and a Democratic
Commissioner upon issuance of each annual report to Congress.

This presentation includes 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.
Dwight D Eisenhower Memorial Commission._The Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission was created by Congress in 1999 by Public Law 106–79. The Commission's congressional
mandate is to establish an appropriate, permanent national memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower, who served as Supreme Commander
of the Allied forces in Europe in World War II and subsequently as 34th President of the United States. The Commission's enabling
legislation dictates that a memorial should be created to perpetuate his memory and his contributions to the United States.
The Commission is bipartisan and consists of 12 members. Four Commissioners are members of the House of Representatives, four
are Senators, and four are private citizens appointed by the President. The Commission is led by a World War II combat-decorated
veteran: Rocco C. Siciliano and its work on building the memorial since 2001 has been informed by the active participation
of the Eisenhower family, along with input from members of Congress and federal review agencies. In order to build this world-class
memorial in the most efficient way possible, the Commission requests these funds in FY 2015.
Capital Construction._$19,300,000 for the construction of the memorial.

The Open World Leadership Center, under the direction of its Board of Trustees, supports the identification of emerging leaders
from foreign countries selected by the Board of Trustees and oversees the development of an intensive program in the United
States to link up to 3,000 participants each year with U.S. counterparts. The Center's mission entails enhancing the understanding
and capabilities for cooperation between the United States and participating countries by developing a network of leaders
who have gained significant, first-hand exposure to America's democratic, accountable government and its free-market system.
The Center has also administered a program to enable cultural leaders from the Russian Federation to gain exposure to the
operations of American cultural institutions.
The Center is authorized to solicit and accept federal and private funds, in addition to receipt of this appropriation, and
to invest appropriated funds in par value securities at the U.S. Treasury. The Center is governed by an eleven-member board
of trustees, composed of the Librarian of Congress, members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and representatives
of the private sector. The Center is authorized to obtain a wide range of administrative support, including space, from the
Library of Congress.
FY 2015 funding supports U.S. grants and logistical services for hosting in communities throughout the United States as well
as other operating expenses of the Center.
