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.

Office of the Librarian.—The Office of the Librarian provides leadership and policy direction to the Library, overseeing the implementation and management
of the library's mission to support the Congress in fulfilling its constitutional duties and to further the progress of knowledge
and creativity for the benefit of the American people. It also ensures that the Library's infrastructure provides the necessary
services and compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements in the areas of human capital, budget and finance, contracts
and grants, information technology, facilities logistics, asset management and protection, emergency preparedness, and personnel
security, health, and safety. The Librarian of Congress, Deputy Librarian of Congress, Chief of Staff, and Chief Operating
Officer provide executive management to the Library service units.
Library Services.—The mission of Library Services is to acquire, organize, provide access to, maintain, secure, and preserve the Library's
collections, which document the history and further the creativity of the American people as well as record and contribute
to the advancement of civilization and knowledge throughout the world.
National and International Outreach (NIO).—National and International Outreach 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. It also supports literacy programs, creates partnerships for digital collaboration, catalyzes
public-private partnership networks to jointly sustain at-risk cultural heritage content, and administers a national program
to provide reading material for blind and physically handicapped residents of the United States, its outlying areas, and for
U.S. citizens residing abroad, circulating at no cost to users approximately 23 million items a year. It oversees the preservation
of sound and film material of national significance, and administers two high profile Library events: the Gershwin Prize for
Popular Song and the National Book Festival. It manages programs that deliver fee-based services to other federal agencies
or to the public. It also oversees the Library's national programs for education outreach, encouraging 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 comprehensive legal materials, a total of more than 5
million items 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 technology to make
the collection accessible through various systems and products. The Law Library ensures public access to congressional resources
for Congress.gov, which 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 a forum for the exchange of legal sources online.
Office of the Inspector General.—The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) functions within the Library of Congress as an independent, objective office with
authority to: conduct and supervise audits and investigations relating to the Library; provide leadership and coordination
in recommending policies to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness; and inform the Librarian of Congress and the Congress
fully about problems and deficiencies related to the administration and operations of the Library. The OIG specializes in
auditing and analyzing the design of and compliance with the Library's systems of internal control, with special emphasis
on deterring waste, fraud, and abuse. Through its audit operation it recommends corrective actions to improve financial, operational,
technological, and managerial activities. In its investigative capacity, it performs administrative, civil, and criminal investigations
concerning fraud, conflict of interest, and other misconduct involving Library employees, contractors, and grantees. As part
of its oversight role, OIG continually reviews and provides recommendations about the effects of existing and proposed legislation
and Library policies. The OIG also coordinates relationships within the Library and with outside organizations regarding OIG
matters. The designed objective of the office's efforts are to assist the Library in accomplishing its mission in the most
effective and efficient manner.

The Copyright Office operates the largest database of copyrighted works and copyright ownership information in the world,
and through its work contributes significantly to the development of the copyright law, the national economy, and the cultural
heritage of the United States. Approximately sixty percent of the office's operations are funded by fees paid by authors and
other copyright owners for services rendered, and the remainder is funded by appropriated dollars. The amount requested is
more than offset by projected fee receipts plus 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 annually to the Library of Congress for its permanent
collections. The receipts and obligations for 2016, and estimates for 2017 and 2018 are as follows:

Registration, recordation, acquisitions, copyright records, public information, and expert advice on copyright issues.—The Copyright Office is responsible for administering the national copyright registration system. In 2016, the Office examined
and registered 414,269 claims to copyright in original works of authorship, and it expects to register an estimated 400,000

copyright-related documents; acquiring books, films, sound recordings, and other works for possible inclusion in Library of
Congress collections under the mandatory deposit provision of the copyright law; creating and making available records of
copyright ownership; providing copyright information to the public; and providing expert advice to Congress executive agencies,

including those involving secondary transmissions by cable television systems and satellite carriers and the importation,
manufacture and distribution of digital audio recording devices and distribution media. The division collects specified royalty
fees for distribution to copyright owners upon determinations rendered by the Copyright Royalty Judges. Distribution occurs
after deduction of administrative costs incurred by the Licensing Division and the Copyright Royalty Judges, as specified
by this appropriation.
Copyright Royalty Judges (CRJ).—The Copyright Royalty Judges and their staff, who operate under the Librarian of Congress, determine royalty distributions
and adjust the royalty rates and terms of copyright statutory licenses.

The Public Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents operate 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 more than 1.5 million titles
via GPO's Federal Digital System (FDsys) and its successor system govinfo (www.govinfo.gpo); (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 via the International Exchange Service. These four functions are related to the publication activity
of Federal agencies and the demands of the public, Members of Congress, and depository libraries. Following is a description
of these four functions:
Distribution for other Government agencies and Members of Congress (By-Law Distribution).—The Public Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents maintain mailing lists and distribute, 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 and dissemination of Government information in all formats to Federal depository
libraries across the country.
The mission of the FDLP is to coordinate with depository libraries, more than 1,100 nationwide, to disseminate information
products from all three branches of the Government. 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/govinfo. 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 digital Government
information.
Cataloging and indexing.—The Public Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents are 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 Public Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents
distributes tangible Government publications to foreign governments that agree to send the United States similar publications
of their governments for LC collections.

All GPO activities are financed through the agency's Business Operations Revolving Fund, established by section 309 of Title
44, U.S.C. This business-like fund is used to pay all GPO costs in performing congressional and agency publishing, printing
and information product procurement, and publications dissemination activities. It is reimbursed from payments from customer
agencies, sales to the public, and transfers from GPO's two annual appropriations: the Congressional Publishing Appropriation
and the Public Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents Appropriation. Reimbursements to the Fund from appropriations
constitute approximately 16% of GPO's annual revenues; the balance is generated by reimbursements from customer agencies for
work performed, sales of publications and information products to the public, and miscellaneous sales of scrap, waste, and
surplus property. The largest single component of GPO's annual expenses is publishing work procured from the private sector.
In FY 2016, the cost of this work totaled $325.9 million, or about 41% of total expenses. The second largest component was
personnel compensation and benefits. These totaled $206.7 million, or about 26% of all expenses. GPO's Business Operations
Revolving Fund functions as the agency's checking account with the U.S. Treasury. GPO pays its expenses from this account
and the Fund is reimbursed when the Treasury Department transfers money from customer agency appropriations accounts to the
Fund when they pay GPO's invoices. This procedure also applies to the payment of transfers from the Congressional Publishing
and Public Information Programs appropriations, and to deposits of funds collected from sales to the public. GPO maintains
a cash balance in the Business Operations Revolving Fund that is used to pay all expenses. The cash balance fluctuates daily
as payments are received from agency reimbursements, customer payments, and transfers from GPO appropriations. Under GPO's
system of accrual accounting, annual earnings generated since the inception of the Fund have been accumulated as retained
earnings. Retained earnings make it possible for GPO to fund a significant amount of technology modernization. However, appropriations
for essential investments in technology and facilities upgrades are requested when necessary. GPO is accountable for its finances.
Each year, the agency's finances and financial controls are audited by an independent outside audit firm working under contract
with GPO's Office of Inspector General. For FY 2016, the audit concluded with GPO earning an unmodified, or clean, opinion
on its finances, the 20th consecutive year GPO has earned such an audit result.

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.

The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) is a non-partisan legislative branch agency that provides policy
and data analysis and makes recommendations to Congress, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
and the states on a wide array of issues affecting Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The
U.S. Comptroller General appoints MACPAC's 17 commissioners, who come from diverse regions across the United States and bring
broad expertise and a wide range of perspectives on Medicaid and CHIP.
MACPAC serves as an independent source of information on Medicaid and CHIP, publishing issue briefs and data reports throughout
the year to support policy analysis and program accountability. The Commission's authorizing statute, 42 U.S.C. 1396, outlines
a number of areas for analysis, including: payment; eligibility; enrollment and retention; coverage; access to care; quality
of care; and the programs' interaction with Medicare and the health care system generally.
MACPAC's authorizing statute also requires the Commission to submit reports to Congress by March 15 and June 15 of each year.
In carrying out its work, the Commission holds public meetings and regularly consults with state officials, congressional
and executive branch staff, beneficiaries, health care providers, researchers, and policy experts.

US-China Economic and Security Review Commission.—Congress created the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission 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), as amended by Public Law 113–291 (December 19, 2014). 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 effects of the need for energy on China's foreign and military
policies and the impact of China's growing economy on world energy resources; foreign investment by the U.S. in China, and
China's foreign investment in the U.S.; the military plans, strategy, doctrine and structure of China's military; strategic
economic and security implications of China's cyber capabilities and operations; China's national budget, fiscal policy, monetary
policy, and currency management practices; the drivers, nature, and implications of China's growing economic, technological,
political, cultural, people-to-people, and security relations of China with other countries and international organizations;
China's compliance with its commitments to the World Trade Organization and other bilateral and multilateral agreements; the
implications of China's restrictions on freedom of expression; and the safety of food, drug, and other products imported from
China. 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 Commission conducts hearings throughout
the year and maintains a website containing the records of these proceedings as well as original 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 Commission 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 in the nation's capital to perpetuate his memory and his contributions
to the United States. The Commission is bipartisan and consists of 12 members. Four members are members of the House of Representatives,
four are Senators, and four are private citizens appointed by the President. The Commission is led by Senator Pat Roberts
(Chair) and Congressman Mike Thompson (Vice Chair). Its work on building the memorial since 2001 has been informed by the
active participation of the Eisenhower family, expert historians, along with input from members of Congress and federal review
agencies. The review agencies have expressed broad support for the design and will soon consider the final design adjustments.
Beginning construction in FY 2017, and with additional federal funds for construction, the memorial is scheduled to be completed
in 2020, the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Its swift completion will allow an opportunity for our remaining
World War II heroes to honor Eisenhower, their commander in Europe. In P.L. 114–223, Congress reinstituted the authority for
the Commission to execute phased construction with available funds. The original language authorizing phased construction
with available funds is included in P.L. 112–74. The project is shovel-ready. In order to build this world-class memorial
in the most efficient way possible and avoid escalating costs, the Commission requests these funds in FY 2018. Capital Construction
account— $85,000,000.
World War I Centennial Commission.—The World War I Centennial Commission was created by Congress in 2013 by P.L. 112–272, and amended in 2014 by P.L. 113–291
to ensure a suitable observance of the centennial of World War I, which ushered in the 'American Century'. It began the advance
of the rights of women and minorities in the U.S., and sowed the seeds for international conflicts for a century, many of
which are ongoing today. America's support of Great Britain, France, Belgium, and its other allies in World War I marked the
first time in United States history that American soldiers went abroad in defense of liberty against foreign aggression. 4.7
million men and women from the United States served in uniform during World War I, among them 2 future presidents, Harry S.
Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Two million individuals from the United States served overseas during World War I, including
200,000 naval personnel who served on the seas. The United States suffered 375,000 casualties during World War I, including
116,516 deaths, more than in the Korean War and Vietnam War combined. The centennial of World War I offers an opportunity
for people in the United States to learn about and commemorate the sacrifices of their predecessors. Commemorative programs,
activities, and sites allow them to learn about the history of World War I, the United States involvement in that war, and
the war's effects on the remainder of the 20th and into the 21st century, and to commemorate and honor the participation of
the United States and its citizens in the war effort. Congress also redesignated Pershing Park in the District of Columbia
as a 'World War I Memorial', and authorized The Commission to plan, develop, and execute ceremonies for that redesignation,
and for the enhancement of the General Pershing Commemorative Work by constructing an World War I Memorial containing appropriate
sculptural and other commemorative elements, including landscaping, to further honor the service of members of the United
States Armed Forces in World War I. The Commission is bipartisan and consists of 12 private citizens; 6 are appointed by the
Congress, 3 are appointed by the President, 1 each is appointed by the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, MO, the
VFW, and the American Legion. The Commission is augmented by ex-officio members and advisors: The Archivist of the United
States, The Librarian of Congress, The Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, The Secretary of Education, The Secretary
of State, The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, The Administrator of General Services, The Department of Defense, The Department
of Homeland Security, and the Secretary of the Interior.

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

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.
