                            STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE

            ------------------------------------------------------------

            [The 1979 general revision of the rules was accomplished by 
                the adoption of S. Res. 274 on Nov. 14, 1979, a 
                resolution submitted by Mr. Robert C. Byrd for himself 
                and Mr. Baker; the preparation of the proposed revision 
                was pursuant to the adoption of S. Res. 156 on May 10, 
                1976, a resolution by Mr. Robert C. Byrd; the general 
                revision of the rules set forth in S. Res. 274 was 
                somewhat altered in form by the adoption of S. Res. 389 
                on Mar. 25, 1980, to consolidate and renumber certain 
                standing rules of the Senate.

            [Changes to Senate rules since the last general revision in 
                1979 are indicated by footnotes in each succeeding

            when necessary, to compel the attendance of the absent 
            Senators, which order shall be determined without debate; 
            and pending its execution, and until a quorum shall be 
            present, no debate nor motion, except to adjourn, or to 
            recess pursuant to a previous order entered by unanimous 
            consent, shall be in order.

            order, unless unanimous consent shall be otherwise given, 
            with newly offered resolutions being called for before 
            resolutions coming over from a previous legislative day are 
            laid before the Senate.

       7.2      2. Until the morning business shall have been concluded, 
            and so announced from the Chair, or until one hour after the 
            Senate convenes at the beginning of a new legislative day,

            resolution, report of a committee, or other subject upon the 
            Calendar shall be entertained by the Presiding Officer, 
            unless by unanimous consent: Provided, however, That on

            hours after the Senate convenes no motion shall be 
            entertained to proceed to the consideration of any bill, 
            resolution, or other subject upon the Calendar except the 
            motion to continue the consideration of a bill, resolution, 
            or other subject against objection as provided in rule VIII, 
            or until the call of the Calendar has been completed.
       7.3      3. The Presiding Officer may at any time lay, and it 
            shall be in order at any time for a Senator to move to lay, 
            before the Senate, any bill or other matter sent to the 
            Senate by the President or the House of Representatives for 
            appropriate action allowed under the rules and any question 
            pending at that time shall be suspended for this purpose. 
            Any motion so made shall be determined without debate.
       7.4      4. Petitions or memorials shall be referred, without 
            debate, to the appropriate committee according to subject 
            matter on the same basis as bills and resolutions, if signed 
            by the petitioner or memorialist. A question of receiving or 
            reference may be raised and determined without debate. But 
            no petition or memorial or other paper signed by citizens or 
            subjects of a foreign power shall be received, unless the 
            same be transmitted to the Senate by the President.
       7.5      5. Only a brief statement of the contents of petitions 
            and memorials shall be printed in the Congressional Record; 
            and no other portion of any petition or memorial shall be 
            printed in the Record unless specifically so ordered by vote 
            of the Senate, as provided for in paragraph 4 of rule XI, in 
            which case the order shall be deemed to apply to the body of 
            the petition or memorial only; and names attached to the 
            petition or memorial shall not be printed unless specially 
            ordered, except that petitions and memorials from the 
            legislatures or conventions, lawfully called, of the 
            respective States, Territories, and insular possessions 
            shall be printed in full in the Record whenever presented.
       7.6      6. Senators having petitions, memorials, bills, or 
            resolutions to present after the morning hour may deliver 
            them in the absence of objection to the Presiding Officer's 
            desk, endorsing upon them their names, and with the approval 
            of the Presiding Officer, they shall be entered on the 
            Journal with the names of the Senators presenting them and 
            in the absence of objection shall be considered as having 
            been read twice and referred to the appropriate committees, 
            and a transcript of such entries shall be furnished to the 
            official reporter of debates for publication in the 
            Congressional Record, under the direction of the Secretary 
            of the Senate.

                                  ORDER OF BUSINESS

       8.1      1. At the conclusion of the morning business at the 
            beginning of a new legislative day, unless upon motion the 
            Senate shall at any time otherwise order, the Senate shall 
            proceed to the consideration of the Calendar of Bills and 
            Resolutions, and shall continue such consideration until 2 
            hours after the Senate convenes on such day (the end of the 
            morning hour); and bills and resolutions that are not 
            objected to shall be taken up in their order, and each 
            Senator shall be entitled to speak once and for five minutes 
            only upon any question; and an objection may be interposed 
            at any stage of the proceedings, but upon motion the Senate 
            may continue such consideration; and this order shall 
            commence immediately after the call for ``other 
            resolutions'', or after disposition of resolutions coming 
            ``over under the rule'', and shall take precedence of the 
            unfinished business and other special orders. But if the 
            Senate shall proceed on motion with the consideration of any 
            matter notwithstanding an objection, the foregoing 
            provisions touching debate shall not apply.
       8.2      2. All motions made during the first two hours of a new 
            legislative day to proceed to the consideration of any 
            matter shall be determined without debate, except motions to 
            proceed to the consideration of any motion, resolution, or 
            proposal to change any of the Standing Rules of the Senate 
            shall be debatable. Motions made after the first two hours 
            of a new legislative day to proceed to the consideration of 
            bills and resolutions are debatable.

         9                             RULE IX

       9.1      1. Messages from the President of the United States or 
            from the House of Representatives may be received at any 
            stage of proceedings, except while the Senate is voting or 
            ascertaining the presence of a quorum, or while the Journal 
            is being read, or while a question of order or a motion to 
            adjourn is pending.
       9.2      2. Messages shall be sent to the House of 
            Representatives by the Secretary, who shall previously 
            certify the determination of the Senate upon all bills, 
            joint resolutions, and other resolutions which may be 
            communicated to the House, or in which its concurrence may 
            be requested; and the Secretary shall also certify and 
            deliver to the President of the United States all 
            resolutions and other communications which may be directed 
            to him by the Senate.

                                   SPECIAL ORDERS

      10.1      1. Any subject may, by a vote of two-thirds of the 
            Senators present, be made a special order of business for 
            consideration and when the time so fixed for its 
            consideration arrives the Presiding Officer shall lay it 
            before the Senate, unless there be unfinished business in 
            which case it takes its place on the Calendar of Special 
            Orders in the order of time at which it was made special, to 
            be considered in that order when there is no unfinished 
            business.
      10.2      2. All motions to change such order, or to proceed to 
            the consideration of other business, shall be decided 
            without debate.

        11                             RULE XI

      11.1      1. No memorial or other paper presented to the Senate, 
            except original treaties finally acted upon, shall be 
            withdrawn from its files except by order of the Senate.
      11.2      2. The Secretary of the Senate shall obtain at the close 
            of each Congress all the noncurrent records of the Senate 
            and of each Senate committee and transfer them to the 
            General Services Administration for preservation, subject to 
            the orders of the Senate.
      11.3      3. When the reading of a paper is called for, and 
            objected to, it shall be determined by a vote of the Senate, 
            without debate.
      11.4      4. Every motion or resolution to print documents, 
            reports, and other matter transmitted by the executive 
            departments, or to print memorials, petitions, accompanying 
            documents, or any other paper, except bills of the Senate or 
            House of Representatives, resolutions submitted by a 
            Senator, communications from the legislatures or 
            conventions, lawfully called, of the respective States, 
            shall, unless the Senate otherwise order, be referred to the 
            Committee on Rules and Administration. When a motion is made 
            to commit with instructions, it shall be in order to add 
            thereto a motion to print.
      11.5      5. Motions or resolutions to print additional numbers 
            shall also be referred to the Committee on Rules and 
            Administration; and when the committee shall report 
            favorably, the report shall be accompanied by an estimate of 
            the probable cost thereof; and when the cost of printing 
            such additional numbers shall exceed the sum established by 
            law, the concurrence of the House of Representatives shall 
            be necessary for an order to print the same.
      11.6      6. Every bill and joint resolution introduced or 
            reported from a committee, and all bills and joint 
            resolutions received from the House of Representatives, and 
            all reports of committees, shall be printed, unless, for the 
            dispatch of the business of the Senate, such printing may be 
            dispensed with.

        12                            RULE XII

                                  VOTING PROCEDURE

      12.1      1. When the yeas and nays are ordered, the names of 
            Senators shall be called alphabetically; and each Senator 
            shall, without debate, declare his assent or dissent to the 
            question, unless excused by the Senate; and no Senator shall 
            be permitted to vote after the decision shall have been 
            announced by the Presiding Officer, but may for sufficient 
            reasons, with unanimous consent, change or withdraw his 
            vote. No motion to suspend this rule shall be in order, nor 
            shall the Presiding Officer entertain any request to suspend 
            it by unanimous consent.
      12.2      2. When a Senator declines to vote on call of his name, 
            he shall be required to assign his reasons therefor, and 
            having assigned them, the Presiding Officer shall submit the 
            question to the Senate: ``Shall the Senator for the reasons 
            assigned by him, be excused from voting?'' which shall be 
            decided without debate; and these proceedings shall be had 
            after the rollcall and before the result is announced; and 
            any further proceedings in reference thereto shall be after 
            such announcement.
      12.3      3. A Member, notwithstanding any other provisions of 
            this rule, may decline to vote, in committee or on the 
            floor, on any matter when he believes that his voting on 
            such a matter would be a conflict of interest.
      12.4      4. No request by a Senator for unanimous consent for the 
            taking of a final vote on a specified date upon the passage 
            of a bill or joint resolution shall be submitted to the 
            Senate for agreement thereto until after a quorum call 
            ordered for the purpose by the Presiding Officer, it shall 
            be disclosed that a quorum of the Senate is present; and 
            when a unanimous consent is thus given the same shall 
            operate as the order of the Senate, but any unanimous 
            consent may be revoked by another unanimous consent granted 
            in the manner prescribed above upon one day's notice.

        13                            RULE XIII

                                   RECONSIDERATION

      13.1      1. When a question has been decided by the Senate, any 
            Senator voting with the prevailing side or who has not voted 
            may, on the same day or on either of the next two days of 
            actual session thereafter, move a reconsideration; and if 
            the Senate shall refuse to reconsider such a motion entered, 
            or if such a motion is withdrawn by leave of the Senate, or 
            if upon reconsideration the Senate shall affirm its first 
            decision, no further motion to reconsider shall be in order 
            unless by unanimous consent. Every motion to reconsider 
            shall be decided by a majority vote, and may be laid on the 
            table without affecting the question in reference to which 
            the same is made, which shall be a final disposition of the 
            motion.
      13.2      2. When a bill, resolution, report, amendment, order, or 
            message, upon which a vote has been taken, shall have gone 
            out of the possession of the Senate and been communicated to 
            the House of Representatives, the motion to reconsider shall 
            be accompanied by a motion to request the House to return 
            the same; which last motion shall be acted upon immediately, 
            and without debate, and if determined in the negative shall 
            be a final disposition of the motion to reconsider.

        14                            RULE XIV

            BILLS, JOINT RESOLUTIONS, RESOLUTIONS, AND PREAMBLES THERETO

      14.1      1. Whenever a bill or joint resolution shall be offered, 
            its introduction shall, if objected to, be postponed for one 
            day.
      14.2      2. Every bill and joint resolution shall receive three 
            readings previous to its passage which readings on demand of 
            any Senator shall be on three different legislative days, 
            and the Presiding Officer shall give notice at each reading 
            whether it be the first, second, or third: Provided, That 
            each reading may be by title only, unless the Senate in any 
            case shall otherwise order.
      14.3      3. No bill or joint resolution shall be committed or 
            amended until it shall have been twice read, after which it 
            may be referred to a committee; bills and joint resolutions 
            introduced on leave, and bills and joint resolutions from 
            the House of Representatives, shall be read once, and may be 
            read twice, if not objected to, on the same day for 
            reference, but shall not be considered on that day nor 
            debated, except for reference, unless by unanimous consent.
      14.4      4. Every bill and joint resolution reported from a 
            committee, not having previously been read, shall be read 
            once, and twice, if not objected to, on the same day, and 
            placed on the Calendar in the order in which the same may be 
            reported; and every bill and joint resolution introduced on 
            leave, and every bill and joint resolution of the House of 
            Representatives which shall have received a first and second 
            reading without being referred to a committee, shall, if 
            objection be made to further proceeding thereon, be placed 
            on the Calendar.
      14.5      5. All bills, amendments, and joint resolutions shall be 
            examined under the supervision of the Secretary of the 
            Senate before they go out of the possession of the Senate, 
            and all bills and joint resolutions which shall have passed 
            both Houses shall be examined under the supervision of the 
            Secretary of the Senate, to see that the same are correctly 
            enrolled, and, when signed by the Speaker of the House and 
            the President of the Senate, the Secretary of the Senate 
            shall forthwith present the same, when they shall have 
            originated in the Senate, to the President of the United 
            States and report the fact and date of such presentation to 
            the Senate.
      14.6      6. All other resolutions shall lie over one day for 
            consideration, if not referred, unless by unanimous consent 
            the Senate shall otherwise direct. When objection is heard 
            to the immediate consideration of a resolution or motion 
            when it is submitted, it shall be placed on the Calendar 
            under the heading of ``Resolutions and Motions over, under 
            the Rule,'' to be laid before the Senate on the next 
            legislative day when there is no further morning business 
            but before the close of morning business and before the 
            termination of the morning hour.
      14.7      7. When a bill or joint resolution shall have been 
            ordered to be read a third time, it shall not be in order to 
            propose amendments, unless by unanimous consent, but it 
            shall be in order at any time before the passage of any bill 
            or resolution to move its commitment; and when the bill or 
            resolution shall again be reported from the committee it 
            shall be placed on the Calendar.
      14.8      8. When a bill or resolution is accompanied by a 
            preamble, the question shall first be put on the bill or 
            resolution and then on the preamble, which may be withdrawn 
            by a mover before an amendment of the same, or ordering of 
            the yeas and nays; or it may be laid on the table without 
            prejudice to the bill or resolution, and shall be a final 
            disposition of such preamble.
      14.9      9. Whenever a private bill, except a bill for a pension, 
            is under consideration, it shall be in order to move the 
            adoption of a resolution to refer the bill to the Chief 
            Commissioner of the Court of Claims for a report in 
            conformity with section 2509 of Title 28, United States 
            Code.
     14.10      10. No private bill or resolution (including so-called 
            omnibus claims or pension bills), and no amendment to any 
            bill or resolution, authorizing or directing (1) the payment 
            of money for property damages, personal injuries, or death, 
            for which a claim may be filed under chapter 171 of Title 
            28, United States Code, or for a pension (other than to 
            carry out a provision of law or treaty stipulation); (2) the 
            construction of a bridge across a navigable stream; or (3) 
            the correction of a military or naval record, shall be 
            received or considered.

                               AMENDMENTS AND MOTIONS

     15.1a      1. (a)\3\ An amendment and any instruction accompanying 
            a motion to recommit shall be reduced to writing and read 
            and identical copies shall be provided by the Senator 
            offering the amendment or instruction to the desks of the 
            Majority Leader and the Minority Leader before being 
            debated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \3\Pursuant to Pub. L. 110-81, Sep. 14, 2007, paragraph 
            1 was amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     15.1b      (b) A motion shall be reduced to writing, if desired by 
            the Presiding Officer or by any Senator, and shall be read 
            before being debated.
      15.2      2. Any motion, amendment, or resolution may be withdrawn 
            or modified by the mover at any time before a decision, 
            amendment, or ordering of the yeas and nays, except a motion 
            to reconsider, which shall not be withdrawn without leave.
      15.3      3. If the question in debate contains several 
            propositions, any Senator may have the same divided, except 
            a motion to strike out and insert, which shall not be 
            divided; but the rejection of a motion to strike out and 
            insert one proposition shall not prevent a motion to strike 
            out and insert a different proposition; nor shall it prevent 
            a motion simply to strike out; nor shall the rejection of a 
            motion to strike out prevent a motion to strike out and 
            insert. But pending a motion to strike out and insert, the 
            part to be stricken out and the part to be inserted shall 
            each be regarded for the purpose of amendment as a question, 
            and motions to amend the part to be stricken out shall have 
            precedence.
      15.4      4. When an amendment proposed to any pending measure is 
            laid on the table, it shall not carry with it, or prejudice, 
            such measure.
      15.5      5. It shall not be in order to consider any proposed 
            committee amendment (other than a technical, clerical, or 
            conforming amendment) which contains any significant matter 
            not within the jurisdiction of the committee proposing such 
            amendment.

        16                            RULE XVI

              APPROPRIATIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS 
                                        BILLS

      16.1      1. On a point of order made by any Senator, no 
            amendments shall be received to any general appropriation 
            bill the effect of which will be to increase an 
            appropriation already contained in the bill, or to add a new 
            item of appropriation, unless it be made to carry out the 
            provisions of some existing law, or treaty stipulation, or 
            act or resolution previously passed by the Senate during 
            that session; or unless the same be moved by direction of 
            the Committee on Appropriations or of a committee of the 
            Senate having legislative jurisdiction of the subject 
            matter, or proposed in pursuance of an estimate submitted in 
            accordance with law.
      16.2      2. The Committee on Appropriations shall not report an 
            appropriation bill containing amendments to such bill 
            proposing new or general legislation or any restriction on 
            the expenditure of the funds appropriated which proposes a 
            limitation not authorized by law if such restriction is to 
            take effect or cease to be effective upon the happening of a 
            contingency, and if an appropriation bill is reported to the 
            Senate containing amendments to such bill proposing new or 
            general legislation or any such restriction, a point of 
            order may be made against the bill, and if the point is 
            sustained, the bill shall be recommitted to the Committee on 
            Appropriations.
      16.3      3. All amendments to general appropriation bills moved 
            by direction of a committee having legislative jurisdiction 
            of the subject matter proposing to increase an appropriation 
            already contained in the bill, or to add new items of 
            appropriation, shall, at least one day before they are 
            considered, be referred to the Committee on Appropriations, 
            and when actually proposed to the bill no amendment 
            proposing to increase the amount stated in such amendment 
            shall be received on a point of order made by any Senator.
      16.4      4. On a point of order made by any Senator, no amendment 
            offered by any other Senator which proposes general 
            legislation shall be received to any general appropriation 
            bill, nor shall any amendment not germane or relevant to the 
            subject matter contained in the bill be received; nor shall 
            any amendment to any item or clause of such bill be received 
            which does not directly relate thereto; nor shall any 
            restriction on the expenditure of the funds appropriated 
            which proposes a limitation not authorized by law be 
            received if such restriction is to take effect or cease to 
            be effective upon the happening of a contingency; and all 
            questions of relevancy of amendments under this rule, when 
            raised, shall be submitted to the Senate and be decided 
            without debate; and any such amendment or restriction to a 
            general appropriation bill may be laid on the table without 
            prejudice to the bill.
      16.5      5. On a point of order made by any Senator, no 
            amendment, the object of which is to provide for a private 
            claim, shall be received to any general appropriation bill, 
            unless it be to carry out the provisions of an existing law 
            or a treaty stipulation, which shall be cited on the face of 
            the amendment.
      16.6      6. When a point of order is made against any restriction 
            on the expenditure of funds appropriated in a general 
            appropriation bill on the ground that the restriction 
            violates this rule, the rule shall be construed strictly 
            and, in case of doubt, in favor of the point of order.
      16.7      7. Every report on general appropriation bills filed by 
            the Committee on Appropriations shall identify with 
            particularity each recommended amendment which proposes an 
            item of appropriation which is not made to carry out the 
            provisions of an existing law, a treaty stipulation, or an 
            act or resolution previously passed by the Senate during 
            that session.
      16.8      8. On a point of order made by any Senator, no general 
            appropriation bill or amendment thereto shall be received or 
            considered if it contains a provision reappropriating 
            unexpended balances of appropriations; except that this 
            provision shall not apply to appropriations in continuation 
            of appropriations for public works on which work has 
            commenced.

                         COMMITTEES; AND HEARINGS AVAILABLE

      17.1      1. Except as provided in paragraph 3, in any case in 
            which a controversy arises as to the jurisdiction of any 
            committee with respect to any proposed legislation, the 
            question of jurisdiction shall be decided by the presiding 
            officer, without debate, in favor of the committee which has 
            jurisdiction over the subject matter which predominates in 
            such proposed legislation; but such decision shall be 
            subject to an appeal.
      17.2      2. A motion simply to refer shall not be open to 
            amendment, except to add instructions.
     17.3a      3. (a) Upon motion by both the majority leader or his 
            designee and the minority leader or his designee, proposed 
            legislation may be referred to two or more committees 
            jointly or sequentially. Notice of such motion and the 
            proposed legislation to which it relates shall be printed in 
            the Congressional Record. The motion shall be privileged, 
            but it shall not be in order until the Congressional Record 
            in which the notice is printed has been available to 
            Senators for at least twenty-four hours. No amendment to any 
            such motion shall be in order except amendments to any 
            instructions contained therein. Debate on any such motion, 
            and all amendments thereto and debatable motions and appeals 
            in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 
            two hours, the time to be equally divided between, and 
            controlled by, the majority leader and the minority leader 
            or their designees.
     17.3b      (b) Proposed legislation which is referred to two or 
            more committees jointly may be reported only by such 
            committees jointly and only one report may accompany any 
            proposed legislation so jointly reported.
     17.3c      (c) A motion to refer any proposed legislation to two or 
            more committees sequentially shall specify the order of 
            referral.
     17.3d      (d) Any motion under this paragraph may specify the 
            portion or portions of proposed legislation to be considered 
            by the committees, or any of them, to which such proposed 
            legislation is referred, and such committees or committee 
            shall be limited, in the consideration of such proposed 
            legislation, to the portion or portions so specified.
     17.3e      (e) Any motion under this subparagraph may contain 
            instructions with respect to the time allowed for 
            consideration by the committees, or any of them, to which 
            proposed legislation is referred and the discharge of such 
            committees, or any of them, from further consideration of 
            such proposed legislation.
     17.4a      4. (a) All reports of committees and motions to 
            discharge a committee from the consideration of a subject, 
            and all subjects from which a committee shall be discharged, 
            shall lie over one day for consideration, unless by 
            unanimous consent the Senate shall otherwise direct.
     17.4b      (b) Whenever any committee (except the Committee on 
            Appropriations) has reported any measure, by action taken in 
            conformity with the requirements of paragraph 7 of rule 
            XXVI, no point of order shall lie with respect to that 
            measure on the ground that hearings upon that measure by the 
            committee were not conducted in accordance with the 
            provisions of paragraph 4 of rule XXVI.
      17.5      5.\4\ Any measure or matter reported by any standing 
            committee shall not be considered in the Senate unless the 
            report of that committee upon that measure or matter has 
            been available to Members for at least two calendar days 
            (excluding Sundays and legal holidays) prior to the 
            consideration of that measure or matter. If hearings have 
            been held on any such measure or matter so reported, the 
            committee reporting the measure or matter shall make every 
            reasonable effort to have such hearings printed and 
            available for distribution to the Members of the Senate 
            prior to the consideration of such measure or matter in the 
            Senate. This paragraph--

                    majority leader and the minority leader of the 
                    Senate; and
                        (2) shall not apply to--
                                (A) any measure for the declaration of 
                            war, or the declaration of a national 
                            emergency, by the Congress, and
                                (B) any executive decision, 
                            determination, or action which would become, 
                            or continue to be, effective unless 
                            disapproved or otherwise invalidated by one 
                            or both Houses of Congress.

        18                           RULE XVIII

                     BUSINESS CONTINUED FROM SESSION TO SESSION

                At the second or any subsequent session of a Congress 
            the legislative business of the Senate which remained 
            undetermined at the close of the next preceding session of 
            that Congress shall be resumed and proceeded with in the 
            same manner as if no adjournment of the Senate had taken 
            place.

        19                            RULE XIX

                                       DEBATE

     19.1a      1. (a) When a Senator desires to speak, he shall rise 
            and address the Presiding Officer, and shall not proceed 
            until he is recognized, and the Presiding Officer shall 
            recognize the Senator who shall first address him. No 
            Senator shall interrupt another Senator in debate without 
            his consent, and to obtain such consent he shall first 
            address the Presiding Officer, and no Senator shall speak 
            more than twice upon any one question in debate on the same 
            legislative day without leave of the Senate, which shall be 
            determined without debate.
     19.1b      (b) At the conclusion of the morning hour at the 
            beginning of a new legislative day or after the unfinished 
            business or any pending business has first been laid before 
            the Senate on any calendar day, and until after the duration 
            of three hours of actual session after such business is laid 
            down except as determined to the contrary by unanimous 
            consent or on motion without debate, all debate shall be 
            germane and confined to the specific question then pending 
            before the Senate.
      19.2      2. No Senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, 
            by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other 
            Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a 
            Senator.
      19.3      3. No Senator in debate shall refer offensively to any 
            State of the Union.
      19.4      4. If any Senator, in speaking or otherwise, in the 
            opinion of the Presiding Officer transgress the rules of the 
            Senate the Presiding Officer shall, either on his own motion 
            or at the request of any other Senator, call him to order; 
            and when a Senator shall be called to order he shall take 
            his seat, and may not proceed without leave of the Senate, 
            which, if granted, shall be upon motion that he be allowed 
            to proceed in order, which motion shall be determined 
            without debate. Any Senator directed by the Presiding 
            Officer to take his seat, and any Senator requesting the 
            Presiding Officer to require a Senator to take his seat, may 
            appeal from the ruling of the Chair, which appeal shall be 
            open to debate.
      19.5      5. If a Senator be called to order for words spoken in 
            debate, upon the demand of the Senator or of any other 
            Senator, the exceptionable words shall be taken down in 
            writing, and read at the table for the information of the 
            Senate.
      19.6      6. Whenever confusion arises in the Chamber or the 
            galleries, or demonstrations of approval or disapproval are 
            indulged in by the occupants of the galleries, it shall be 
            the duty of the Chair to enforce order on his own initiative 
            and without any point of order being made by a Senator.
      19.7      7. No Senator shall introduce to or bring to the 
            attention of the Senate during its sessions any occupant in 
            the galleries of the Senate. No motion to suspend this rule 
            shall be in order, nor may the Presiding Officer entertain 
            any request to suspend it by unanimous consent.
      19.8      8. Former Presidents of the United States shall be 
            entitled to address the Senate upon appropriate notice to 
            the Presiding Officer who shall thereupon make the necessary 
            arrangements.

        20                             RULE XX

                                 QUESTIONS OF ORDER

      20.1      1. A question of order may be raised at any stage of the 
            proceedings, except when the Senate is voting or 
            ascertaining the presence of a quorum, and, unless submitted 
            to the Senate, shall be decided by the Presiding Officer 
            without debate, subject to an appeal to the Senate. When an 
            appeal is taken, any subsequent question of order which may 
            arise before the decision of such appeal shall be decided by 
            the Presiding Officer without debate; and every appeal 
            therefrom shall be decided at once, and without debate; and 
            any appeal may be laid on the table without prejudice to the 
            pending proposition, and thereupon shall be held as 
            affirming the decision of the Presiding Officer.
      20.2      2. The Presiding Officer may submit any question of 
            order for the decision of the Senate.

        21                            RULE XXI

                              SESSION WITH CLOSED DOORS

      21.1      1. On a motion made and seconded to close the doors of 
            the Senate, on the discussion of any business which may, in 
            the opinion of a Senator, require secrecy, the Presiding 
            Officer shall direct the galleries to be cleared; and during 
            the discussion of such motion the doors shall remain closed.
      21.2      2. When the Senate meets in closed session, any 
            applicable provisions of rules XXIX and XXXI, including the 
            confidentiality of information shall apply to any 
            information and to the conduct of any debate transacted.

        22                            RULE XXII

                                PRECEDENCE OF MOTIONS

      22.1      1. When a question is pending, no motion shall be 
            received but--
                        To adjourn.
                        To adjourn to a day certain, or that when the

                        To postpone indefinitely.
                        To postpone to a day certain.
                        To commit.

            arranged; and the motions relating to adjournment, to take a 
            recess, to proceed to the consideration of executive 
            business, to lay on the table, shall be decided without 
            debate.

      22.2      2.\5\ Notwithstanding the provisions of rule II or rule 
            IV or any other rule of the Senate, at any time a motion 
            signed by sixteen Senators, to bring to a close the debate 
            upon any measure, motion, other matter pending before the 
            Senate, or the unfinished business, is presented to the 
            Senate, the Presiding Officer, or clerk at the direction of 
            the Presiding Officer, shall at once state the motion to the 
            Senate, and one hour after the Senate meets on the following 
            calendar day but one, he shall lay the motion before the 
            Senate and direct that the clerk call the roll, and upon the 
            ascertainment that a quorum is present, the Presiding 
            Officer shall, without debate, submit to the Senate by a 
            yea-and-nay vote the question:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \5\As amended by S. Res. 28, 99-2, Feb. 27, 1986.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                ``Is it the sense of the Senate that the debate shall be 
            brought to a close?'' And if that question shall be decided 
            in the affirmative by three-fifths of the Senators duly 
            chosen and sworn--except on a measure or motion to amend the 
            Senate rules, in which case the necessary affirmative vote 
            shall be two-thirds of the Senators present and voting--then 
            said measure, motion, or other matter pending before the 
            Senate, or the unfinished business, shall be the unfinished 
            business to the exclusion of all other business until 
            disposed of.
                Thereafter no Senator shall be entitled to speak in all 
            more than one hour on the measure, motion, or other matter 
            pending before the Senate, or the unfinished business, the 
            amendments thereto and motions affecting the same, and it 
            shall be the duty of the Presiding Officer to keep the time 
            of each Senator who speaks. Except by unanimous consent, no 
            amendment shall be proposed after the vote to bring the 
            debate to a close, unless it had been submitted in writing 
            to the Journal Clerk by 1 o'clock p.m. on the day following 
            the filing of the cloture motion if an amendment in the 
            first degree, and unless it had been so submitted at least 
            one hour prior to the beginning of the cloture vote if an 
            amendment in the second degree. No dilatory motion, or 
            dilatory amendment, or amendment not germane shall be in 
            order. Points of order, including questions of relevancy, 
            and appeals from the decision of the Presiding Officer, 
            shall be decided without debate.
                After no more than thirty hours of consideration of the 
            measure, motion, or other matter on which cloture has been 
            invoked, the Senate shall proceed, without any further 
            debate on any question, to vote on the final disposition 
            thereof to the exclusion of all amendments not then actually 
            pending before the Senate at that time and to the exclusion 
            of all motions, except a motion to table, or to reconsider 
            and one quorum call on demand to establish the presence of a 
            quorum (and motions required to establish a quorum) 
            immediately before the final vote begins. The thirty hours 
            may be increased by the adoption of a motion, decided 
            without debate, by a three-fifths affirmative vote of the 
            Senators duly chosen and sworn, and any such time thus 
            agreed upon shall be equally divided between and controlled 
            by the Majority and Minority Leaders or their designees. 
            However, only one motion to extend time, specified above, 
            may be made in any one calendar day.
                If, for any reason, a measure or matter is reprinted 
            after cloture has been invoked, amendments which were in 
            order prior to the reprinting of the measure or matter will 
            continue to be in order and may be conformed and reprinted 
            at the request of the amendment's sponsor. The conforming 
            changes must be limited to lineation and pagination.
                No Senator shall call up more than two amendments until 
            every other Senator shall have had the opportunity to do 
            likewise.
                Notwithstanding other provisions of this rule, a Senator 
            may yield all or part of his one hour to the majority or 
            minority floor managers of the measure, motion, or matter or 
            to the Majority or Minority Leader, but each Senator 
            specified shall not have more than two hours so yielded to 
            him and may in turn yield such time to other Senators.
                Notwithstanding any other provision of this rule, any 
            Senator who has not used or yielded at least ten minutes, 
            is, if he seeks recognition, guaranteed up to ten minutes, 
            inclusive, to speak only.
                After cloture is invoked, the reading of any amendment, 
            including House amendments, shall be dispensed with when the 
            proposed amendment has been identified and has been 
            available in printed form at the desk of the Members for not 
            less than twenty-four hours.
                3.\6\If a cloture motion on a motion to proceed to a 
            measure or matter is presented in accordance with this rule 
            and is signed by 16 Senators, including the Majority Leader, 
            the Minority Leader, 7 additional Senators not affiliated 
            with the majority, and 7 additional Senators not affiliated 
            with the minority, one hour after the Senate meets on the 
            following calendar day, the Presiding Officer, or the clerk 
            at the direction of the Presiding Officer, shall lay the 
            motion before the Senate. If cloture is then invoked on the 
            motion to proceed, the question shall be on the motion to 
            proceed, without further debate.

            committee under this subparagraph shall be continued in 
            effect after the need therefor has ended. No standing 
            committee may be increased in membership under this

            for purposes of subparagraph (a)(2).
     25.4e      (e)(1) No Senator shall serve at any time as chairman of 
            more than one standing, select, or special committee of the

                                 COMMITTEE PROCEDURE

      26.1      1.\27\ Each standing committee, including any 
            subcommittee of any such committee, is authorized to hold 
            such hearings, to sit and act at such times and places 
            during the sessions, recesses, and adjourned periods of the 
            Senate, to require by subpoena or otherwise the attendance 
            of such witnesses and the production of such correspondence, 
            books, papers, and documents, to take such testimony and to 
            make such expenditures out of the contingent fund of the 
            Senate as may be authorized by resolutions of the Senate. 
            Each such committee may make investigations into any matter 
            within its jurisdiction, may report such hearings as may be 
            had by it, and may employ stenographic assistance at a cost 
            not exceeding the amount prescribed by the Committee on 
            Rules and Administration.\28\ The expenses of the committee 
            shall be paid from the contingent fund of the Senate upon 
            vouchers approved by the chairman.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \27\As amended, S. Res. 281, 96-2, Mar. 11, 1980, 
            effective Feb. 28, 1981.
                \28\Pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 4331 (See Senate Manual Sec. 
            831), the Committee on Rules and Administration issues 
            ``Regulations Governing Rates Payable to Commercial 
            Reporting Firms for Reporting Committee Hearings in the 
            Senate.'' Copies of the regulations currently in effect may 
            be obtained from the Committee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
      26.2      2.\29\ Each committee\30\ shall adopt rules (not 
            inconsistent with the Rules of the Senate) governing the 
            procedure of such committee. The rules of each committee 
            shall be published in the Congressional Record not later 
            than March 1 of the first year of each Congress, except that 
            if any such committee is established on or after February 1 
            of a year, the rules of that committee during the year of 
            establishment shall be published in the Congressional Record 
            not later than sixty days after such establishment. Any 
            amendment to the rules of a committee shall not take effect 
            until the amendment is published in the Congressional 
            Record.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \29\As amended, S. Res. 250, 101-2, Mar. 1, 1990.
                \30\The term ``each committee'' when used in these rules 
            includes standing, select, and special committees unless 
            otherwise specified.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

      26.3      3. Each standing committee (except the Committee on 
            Appropriations) shall fix regular weekly, biweekly, or 
            monthly meeting days for the transaction of business before 
            the committee and additional meetings may be called by the 
            chairman as he may deem necessary. If at least three members 
            of any such committee desire that a special meeting of the 
            committee be called by the chairman, those members may file 
            in the offices of the committee their written request to the 
            chairman for that special meeting. Immediately upon the 
            filing of the request, the clerk of the committee shall 
            notify the chairman of the filing of the request. If, within 
            three calendar days after the filing of the request, the 
            chairman does not call the requested special meeting, to be 
            held within seven calendar days after the filing of the 
            request, a majority of the members of the committee may file 
            in the offices of the committee their written notice that a 
            special meeting of the committee will be held, specifying 
            the date and hour of that special meeting. The committee 
            shall meet on that date and hour. Immediately upon the 
            filing of the notice, the clerk of the committee shall 
            notify all members of the committee that such special 
            meeting will be held and inform them of its date and hour. 
            If the chairman of any such committee is not present at any 
            regular, additional, or special meeting of the committee, 
            the ranking member of the majority party on the committee 
            who is present shall preside at that meeting.
     26.4a      4. (a) Each committee (except the Committee on 
            Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget) shall make 
            public announcement of the date, place, and subject matter 
            of any hearing to be conducted by the committee on any 
            measure or matter at least one week before the commencement 
            of that hearing unless the committee determines that there 
            is good cause to begin such hearing at an earlier date.
     26.4b      (b) Each committee (except the Committee on 
            Appropriations) shall require each witness who is to appear 
            before the committee in any hearing to file with the clerk 
            of the committee, at least one day before the date of the 
            appearance of that witness, a written statement of his 
            proposed testimony unless the committee chairman and the 
            ranking minority member determine that there is good cause 
            for noncompliance. If so requested by any committee, the 
            staff of the committee shall prepare for the use of the 
            members of the committee before each day of hearing before 
            the committee a digest of the statements which have been so 
            filed by witnesses who are to appear before the committee on 
            that day.
     26.4c      (c) After the conclusion of each day of hearing, if so 
            requested by any committee, the staff shall prepare for the 
            use of the members of the committee a summary of the 
            testimony given before the committee on that day. After 
            approval by the chairman and the ranking minority member of 
            the committee, each such summary may be printed as a part of 
            the committee hearings if such hearings are ordered by the 
            committee to be printed.
     26.4d      (d) Whenever any hearing is conducted by a committee 
            (except the Committee on Appropriations) upon any measure or 
            matter, the minority on the committee shall be entitled, 
            upon request made by a majority of the minority members to 
            the chairman before the completion of such hearing, to call 
            witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect 
            to the measure or matter during at least one day of hearing 
            thereon.
     26.5a      5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the rules, 
            when the Senate is in session, no committee of the Senate or 
            any subcommittee thereof may meet, without special leave, 
            after the conclusion of the first two hours after the 
            meeting of the Senate commenced and in no case after two 
            o'clock postmeridian unless consent therefor has been 
            obtained from the majority leader and the minority leader 
            (or in the event of the absence of either of such leaders, 
            from his designee). The prohibition contained in the 
            preceding sentence shall not apply to the Committee on 
            Appropriations or the Committee on the Budget. The majority 
            leader or his designee shall announce to the Senate whenever 
            consent has been given under this subparagraph and shall 
            state the time and place of such meeting. The right to make 
            such announcement of consent shall have the same priority as 
            the filing of a cloture motion.
     26.5b      (b) Each meeting of a committee, or any subcommittee 
            thereof, including meetings to conduct hearings, shall be 
            open to the public, except that a meeting or series of 
            meetings by a committee or a subcommittee thereof on the 
            same subject for a period of no more than fourteen calendar 
            days may be closed to the public on a motion made and 
            seconded to go into closed session to discuss only whether 
            the matters enumerated in clauses (1) through (6) would 
            require the meeting to be closed, followed immediately by a 
            record vote in open session by a majority of the members of 
            the committee or subcommittee when it is determined that the 
            matters to be discussed or the testimony to be taken at such 
            meeting or meetings--
                        (1) will disclose matters necessary to be kept 
                    secret in the interests of national defense or the 
                    confidential conduct of the foreign relations of the 
                    United States;
                        (2) will relate solely to matters of committee 
                    staff personnel or internal staff management or 
                    procedure;
                        (3) will tend to charge an individual with crime 
                    or misconduct, to disgrace or injure the 
                    professional standing of an individual, or otherwise 
                    to expose an individual to public contempt or 
                    obloquy, or will represent a clearly unwarranted 
                    invasion of the privacy of an individual;
                        (4) will disclose the identity of any informer 
                    or law enforcement agent or will disclose any 
                    information relating to the investigation or 
                    prosecution of a criminal offense that is required 
                    to be kept secret in the interests of effective law 
                    enforcement;
                        (5) will disclose information relating to the 
                    trade secrets of financial or commercial information 
                    pertaining specifically to a given person if--
                                (A) an Act of Congress requires the 
                            information to be kept confidential by 
                            Government officers and employees; or
                                (B) the information has been obtained by 
                            the Government on a confidential basis, 
                            other than through an application by such 
                            person for a specific Government financial 
                            or other benefit, and is required to be kept 
                            secret in order to prevent undue injury to 
                            the competitive position of such person; or
                        (6) may divulge matters required to be kept 
                    confidential under other provisions of law or 
                    Government regulations.

     26.5c      (c) Whenever any hearing conducted by any such committee 
            or subcommittee is open to the public, that hearing may be 
            broadcast by radio or television, or both, under such rules 
            as the committee or subcommittee may adopt.
     26.5d      (d) Whenever disorder arises during a committee meeting 
            that is open to the public, or any demonstration of approval 
            or disapproval is indulged in by any person in attendance at 
            any such meeting, it shall be the duty of the Chair to 
            enforce order on his own initiative and without any point of 
            order being made by a Senator. When the Chair finds it 
            necessary to maintain order, he shall have the power to 
            clear the room, and the committee may act in closed session 
            for so long as there is doubt of the assurance of order.
     26.5e      (e)(1)\31\ Each committee shall prepare and keep a 
            complete transcript or electronic recording adequate to 
            fully record the proceeding of each meeting or conference 
            whether or not such meeting or any part thereof is closed 
            under this paragraph, unless a majority of its members vote 
            to forgo such a record.

                (B) Information required by subclause (A) shall be 
            available until the end of the Congress following the date 
            of the meeting.
                (C) The Committee on Rules and Administration may waive 
            this clause upon request based on the inability of a 
            committee or subcommittee to comply with this clause due to 
            technical or logistical reasons.
      26.6      6. Morning meetings of committees and subcommittees 
            thereof shall be scheduled for one or both of the periods 
            prescribed in this paragraph. The first period shall end at 
            eleven o'clock antemeridian. The second period shall begin 
            at eleven o'clock antemeridian and end at two o'clock 
            postmeridian.
     26.7a      7. (a)(1) Except as provided in this paragraph, each 
            committee, and each subcommittee thereof is authorized to 
            fix the number of its members (but not less than one-third 
            of its entire membership) who shall constitute a quorum 
            thereof for the transaction of such business as may be 
            considered by said committee, except that no measure or 
            matter or recommendation shall be reported from any 
            committee unless a majority of the committee were physically 
            present.
                (2) Each such committee, or subcommittee, is authorized 
            to fix a lesser number than one-third of its entire 
            membership who shall constitute a quorum thereof for the 
            purpose of taking sworn testimony.
                (3) The vote of any committee to report a measure or 
            matter shall require the concurrence of a majority of the 
            members of the committee who are present. No vote of any 
            member of any committee to report a measure or matter may be 
            cast by proxy if rules adopted by such committee forbid the 
            casting of votes for that purpose by proxy; however, proxies 
            may not be voted when the absent committee member has not 
            been informed of the matter on which he is being recorded 
            and has not affirmatively requested that he be so recorded. 
            Action by any committee in reporting any measure or matter 
            in accordance with the requirements of this subparagraph 
            shall constitute the ratification by the committee of all 
            action theretofore taken by the committee with respect to 
            that measure or matter, including votes taken upon the 
            measure or matter or any amendment thereto, and no point of 
            order shall lie with respect to that measure or matter on 
            the ground that such previous action with respect thereto by 
            such committee was not taken in compliance with such 
            requirements.
     26.7b      (b) Each committee (except the Committee on 
            Appropriations) shall keep a complete record of all 
            committee action. Such record shall include a record of the 
            votes on any question on which a record vote is demanded. 
            The results of rollcall votes taken in any meeting of any 
            committee upon any measure, or any amendment thereto, shall 
            be announced in the committee report on that measure unless 
            previously announced by the committee, and such announcement 
            shall include a tabulation of the votes cast in favor of and 
            the votes cast in opposition to each such measure and 
            amendment by each member of the committee who was present at 
            that meeting.
     26.7c      (c) Whenever any committee by rollcall vote reports any 
            measure or matter, the report of the committee upon such 
            measure or matter shall include a tabulation of the votes 
            cast by each member of the committee in favor of and in 
            opposition to such measure or matter. Nothing contained in 
            this subparagraph shall abrogate the power of any committee 
            to adopt rules--
                        (1) providing for proxy voting on all matters 
                    other than the reporting of a measure or matter, or
                        (2) providing in accordance with subparagraph 
                    (a) for a lesser number as a quorum for any action 
                    other than the reporting of a measure or matter.
     26.8a      8. (a) In order to assist the Senate in--
                        (1) its analysis, appraisal, and evaluation of 
                    the application, administration, and execution of 
                    the laws enacted by the Congress, and
                        (2) its formulation, consideration, and 
                    enactment of such modifications of or changes in 
                    those laws, and of such additional legislation, as 
                    may be necessary or appropriate, each standing 
                    committee (except the Committees on Appropriations 
                    and the Budget), shall review and study, on a 
                    continuing basis the application, administration, 
                    and execution of those laws, or parts of laws, the 
                    subject matter of which is within the legislative 
                    jurisdiction of that committee. Such committees may 
                    carry out the required analysis, appraisal, and 
                    evaluation themselves, or by contract, or may 
                    require a government agency to do so and furnish a 
                    report thereon to the Senate. Such committees may 
                    rely on such techniques as pilot testing, analysis 
                    of costs in comparison with benefits, or provision 
                    for evaluation after a defined period of time.
     26.8b      (b) In each odd-numbered year, each such committee shall 
            submit, not later than March 31, to the Senate, a report on 
            the activities of that committee under this paragraph during 
            the Congress ending at noon on January 3 of such year.
     26.9a      9.\33\ (a) Except as provided in subparagraph (b), each 
            committee shall report one authorization resolution each 
            year authorizing the committee to make expenditures out of 
            the contingent fund of the Senate to defray its expenses, 
            including the compensation of members of its staff and 
            agency contributions related to such compensation, during 
            the period beginning on March 1 of such year and ending on 
            the last day of February of the following year. Such annual 
            authorization resolution shall be reported not later than 
            January 31 of each year, except that, whenever the 
            designation of members of standing committees of the Senate 
            occurs during the first session of a Congress at a date 
            later than January 20, such resolution may be reported at 
            any time within thirty days after the date on which the 
            designation of such members is completed. After the annual 
            authorization resolution of a committee for a year has been 
            agreed to, such committee may procure authorization to make 
            additional expenditures out of the contingent fund of the 
            Senate during that year only by reporting a supplemental 
            authorization resolution. Each supplemental authorization 
            resolution reported by a committee shall amend the annual 
            authorization resolution of such committee for that year and 
            shall be accompanied by a report specifying with 
            particularity the purpose for which such authorization is 
            sought and the reason why such authorization could not have 
            been sought at the time of the submission by such committee 
            of its annual authorization resolution for that year.

                \33\As amended, S. Res. 281, 96-2, Mar. 11, 1980, 
            effective Jan. 1, 1981; S. Res. 479, 100-2, Sept. 30, 1988.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     26.9b      (b) In lieu of the procedure provided in subparagraph 
            (a), the Committee on Rules and Administration may--
                        (1) direct each committee to report an 
                    authorization resolution for a two year budget 
                    period beginning on March 1 of the first session of 
                    a Congress; and
                        (2) report one authorization resolution 
                    containing more than one committee authorization for 
                    a one year or two year budget period.

    26.10a      10. (a) All committee hearings, records, data, charts, 
            and files shall be kept separate and distinct from the 
            congressional office records of the Member serving as 
            chairman of the committee; and such records shall be the 
            property of the Senate and all members of the committee and 
            the Senate shall have access to such records. Each committee 
            is authorized to have printed and bound such testimony and 
            other data presented at hearings held by the committee.
    26.10b      (b) It shall be the duty of the chairman of each 
            committee to report or cause to be reported promptly to the 
            Senate any measure approved by his committee and to take or 
            cause to be taken necessary steps to bring the matter to a 
            vote. In any event, the report of any committee upon a 
            measure which has been approved by the committee shall be 
            filed within seven calendar days (exclusive of days on which 
            the Senate is not in session) after the day on which there 
            has been filed with the clerk of the committee a written and 
            signed request of a majority of the committee for the 
            reporting of that measure. Upon the filing of any such 
            request, the clerk of the committee shall transmit 
            immediately to the chairman of the committee notice of the 
            filing of that request. This subparagraph does not apply to 
            the Committee on Appropriations.
    26.10c      (c) If at the time of approval of a measure or matter by 
            any committee (except for the Committee on Appropriations), 
            any member of the committee gives notice of intention to 
            file supplemental, minority, or additional views, that 
            member shall be entitled to not less than three calendar 
            days in which to file such views, in writing, with the clerk 
            of the committee. All such views so filed by one or more 
            members of the committee shall be included within, and shall 
            be a part of, the report filed by the committee with respect 
            to that measure or matter. The report of the committee upon 
            that measure or matter shall be printed in a single volume 
            which--
                        (1) shall include all supplemental, minority, or 
                    additional views which have been submitted by the 
                    time of the filing of the report, and
                        (2) shall bear upon its cover a recital that 
                    supplemental, minority, or additional views are 
                    included as part of the report.

                This subparagraph does not preclude--
                        (A) the immediate filing and printing of a 
                    committee report unless timely request for the 
                    opportunity to file supplemental, minority, or 
                    additional views has been made as provided by this 
                    subparagraph; or
                        (B) the filing by any such committee of any 
                    supplemental report upon any measure or matter which 
                    may be required for the correction of any technical 
                    error in a previous report made by that committee 
                    upon that measure or matter.
    26.11a      11. (a) The report accompanying each bill or joint 
            resolution of a public character reported by any committee 
            (except the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on 
            the Budget) shall contain--
                        (1) an estimate, made by such committee, of the 
                    costs which would be incurred in carrying out such 
                    bill or joint resolution in the fiscal year in which 
                    it is reported and in each of the five fiscal years 
                    following such fiscal year (or for the authorized 
                    duration of any program authorized by such bill or 
                    joint resolution, if less than five years), except 
                    that, in the case of measures affecting the 
                    revenues, such reports shall require only an 
                    estimate of the gain or loss in revenues for a one-
                    year period; and
                        (2) a comparison of the estimate of costs 
                    described in subparagraph (1) made by such committee 
                    with any estimate of costs made by any Federal 
                    agency; or
                        (3) in lieu of such estimate or comparison, or 
                    both, a statement of the reasons why compliance by 
                    the committee with the requirements of subparagraph 
                    (1) or (2), or both, is impracticable.

                Note.--Each report accompanying any bill or joint 
            resolution relating to terms and conditions of employment or 
            access to public services or accommodations reported by a 
            committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate 
            shall describe the manner in which the provisions of the 
            bill or joint resolution apply to the legislative branch; or 
            in the case of a provision not applicable to the legislative 
            branch, include a statement of the reasons the provision 
            does not apply.

            5.) See Senate Manual Sec. 547.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    26.11b      (b) Each such report (except those by the Committee on 
            Appropriations) shall also contain--
                        (1) an evaluation, made by such committee, of 
                    the regulatory impact which would be incurred in 
                    carrying out the bill or joint resolution. The 
                    evaluation shall include (A) an estimate of the 
                    numbers of individuals and businesses who would be 
                    regulated and a determination of the groups and 
                    classes of such individuals and businesses, (B) a 
                    determination of the economic impact of such 
                    regulation on the individuals, consumers, and 
                    businesses affected, (C) a determination of the 
                    impact on the personal privacy of the individuals 
                    affected, and (D) a determination of the amount of 
                    additional paperwork that will result from the 
                    regulations to be promulgated pursuant to the bill 
                    or joint resolution, which determination may 
                    include, but need not be limited to, estimates of 
                    the amount of time and financial costs required of 
                    affected parties, showing whether the effects of the 
                    bill or joint resolution could be substantial, as 
                    well as reasonable estimates of the recordkeeping 
                    requirements that may be associated with the bill or 
                    joint resolution; or
                        (2) in lieu of such evaluation, a statement of 
                    the reasons why compliance by the committee with the 
                    requirements of clause (1) is impracticable.

    26.11c      (c) It shall not be in order for the Senate to consider 
            any such bill or joint resolution if the report of the 
            committee on such bill or joint resolution does not comply 
            with the provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) on the 
            objection of any Senator.
     26.12      12. Whenever a committee reports a bill or a joint 
            resolution repealing or amending any statute or part thereof 
            it shall make a report thereon and shall include in such 
            report or in an accompanying document (to be prepared by the 
            staff of such committee) (a) the text of the statute or part 
            thereof which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a 
            comparative print of that part of the bill or joint 
            resolution making the amendment and of the statute or part 
            thereof proposed to be amended, showing by stricken-through 
            type and italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate 
            typographical devices the omissions and insertions which 
            would be made by the bill or joint resolution if enacted in 
            the form recommended by the committee. This paragraph shall 
            not apply to any such report in which it is stated that, in 
            the opinion of the committee, it is necessary to dispense 
            with the requirements of this subsection to expedite the 
            business of the Senate.
    26.13a      13. (a) Each committee (except the Committee on 
            Appropriations) which has legislative jurisdiction shall, in 
            its consideration of all bills and joint resolutions of a 
            public character within its jurisdiction, endeavor to insure 
            that--
                        (1) all continuing programs of the Federal 
                    Government and of the government of the District of 
                    Columbia, within the jurisdiction of such committee 
                    or joint committee, are designed; and
                        (2) all continuing activities of Federal 
                    agencies, within the jurisdiction of such committee 
                    or joint committee, are carried on; so that, to the 
                    extent consistent with the nature, requirements, and 
                    objectives of those programs and activities, 
                    appropriations therefor will be made annually.
    26.13b      (b) Each committee (except the Committee on 
            Appropriations) shall with respect to any continuing program 
            within its jurisdiction for which appropriations are not 
            made annually, review such program, from time to time, in 
            order to ascertain whether such program could be modified so 
            that appropriations therefor would be made annually.

            members of committees pursuant to authority of a resolution

            resolution shall be accorded equitable treatment with 
            respect to the fixing of salary rates, the assignment of 
            facilities, and the accessibility of committee records.

            effective Feb. 28, 1981.
                Note.--Pursuant to S. Res. 281, paragraph 1 of rule 
            XXVII was repealed. Accordingly, subparagraphs (a), (b),

      27.2      2. The minority shall receive fair consideration in the 
            appointment of staff personnel pursuant to authority of a 
            resolution described in paragraph 9 of rule XXVI.
      27.3      3. The staffs of committees (including personnel 
            appointed pursuant to authority of a resolution described in 
            paragraph 9 of rule XXVI or other Senate resolution) should 
            reflect the relative number of majority and minority members 
            of committees. A majority of the minority members of any 
            committee may, by resolution, request that at least one-
            third of all funds of the committee for personnel (other 
            than those funds determined by the chairman and ranking 
            minority member to be allocated for the administrative and 
            clerical functions of the committee as a whole) be allocated 
            to the minority members of such committee for compensation 
            of minority staff as the minority members may decide. The 
            committee shall thereafter adjust its budget to comply with 
            such resolution. Such adjustment shall be equitably made 
            over a four-year period, commencing July 1, 1977, with not 
            less than one-half being made in two years. Upon request by 
            a majority of the minority members of any committee by 
            resolution, proportionate space, equipment, and facilities 
            shall be provided for such minority staff.
      27.4      4. No committee shall appoint to its staff any experts 
            or other personnel detailed or assigned from any department 
            or agency of the Government, except with the written 
            permission of the Committee on Rules and Administration.

                (b) If a cloture motion is presented on a motion made

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     28.2b      (b) If matter which was agreed to by both Houses is 
            stricken from the bill a point of order may be made against 
            the report, and if the point of order is sustained, the 
            report is rejected or shall be recommitted to the committee 
            of conference if the House of Representatives has not

            amendment in the nature of a substitute has been referred to 
            conferees--
                        (1) it shall be in order for the conferees to 
                    report a substitute on the same subject matter;
                        (2) the conferees may not include in the report

                        (3) the conferees may include in their report in

     28.3b      (b) In any case in which the conferees violate 
            subparagraph (a), a point of order may be made against the 
            conference report and it shall be disposed of as provided 
            under paragraph 5.
     28.4a      5. (a) A Senator may raise a point of order that one or 
            more provisions of a conference report violates paragraph 3 
            or paragraph 4, as the case may be. The Presiding Officer 
            may sustain the point of order as to some or all of the 
            provisions against which the Senator raised the point of 
            order.
     28.4b      (b) If the Presiding Officer sustains the point of order 
            as to any of the provisions against which the Senator raised 
            the point of order, then those provisions against which the 
            Presiding Officer sustains the point of order shall be 
            stricken. After all other points of order under this 
            paragraph have been disposed of--
                        (1) the Senate shall proceed to consider the 
                    question of whether the Senate should recede from 
                    its amendment to the House bill, or its disagreement 
                    to the amendment of the House, and concur with a 
                    further amendment, which further amendment shall 
                    consist of only that portion of the conference 
                    report that has not been stricken;
                        (2) the question in clause (1) shall be decided 
                    under the same debate limitation as the conference 
                    report; and
                        (3) no further amendment shall be in order.

     28.5a      6. (a) Any Senator may move to waive any or all points 
            of order under paragraph 3 or 4 with respect to the pending 
            conference report by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of 
            the Members, duly chosen and sworn. All motions to waive 
            under this paragraph shall be debatable collectively for not 
            to exceed 1 hour equally divided between the Majority Leader 
            and the Minority Leader or their designees. A motion to 
            waive all points of order under this paragraph shall not be 
            amendable.
     28.5b      (b) All appeals from rulings of the Chair under 
            paragraph 5 shall be debatable collectively for not to 
            exceed 1 hour, equally divided between the Majority and the 
            Minority Leader or their designees. An affirmative vote of 
            three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and 
            sworn, shall be required in the Senate to sustain an appeal 
            of the ruling of the Chair under paragraph 5.
      28.6      7.\38\ Each report made by a committee of conference to 
            the Senate shall be printed as a report of the Senate. As so 
            printed, such report shall be accompanied by an explanatory 
            statement prepared jointly by the conferees on the part of 
            the House and the conferees on the part of the Senate. Such 
            statement shall be sufficiently detailed and explicit to 
            inform the Senate as to the effect which the amendments or 
            propositions contained in such report will have upon the 
            measure to which those amendments or propositions relate.

      28.7      8. If time for debate in the consideration of any report 
            of a committee of conference upon the floor of the Senate is 
            limited, the time allotted for debate shall be equally 
            divided between the majority party and the minority party.
      28.8      9. Each conference committee between the Senate and the 
            House of Representatives shall be open to the public except 
            when managers of either the Senate or the House of 
            Representatives in open session determine by a rollcall vote 
            of a majority of those managers present, that all or part of 
            the remainder of the meeting on the day of the vote shall be 
            closed to the public.
     28.9a      10. (a)(1) It shall not be in order to vote on the 
            adoption of a report of a committee of conference unless 
            such report has been available to Members and to the general 
            public for at least 48 hours before such vote. If a point of 
            order is sustained under this paragraph, then the conference 
            report shall be set aside.
                (2) For purposes of this paragraph, a report of a 
            committee of conference is made available to the general 
            public as of the time it is posted on a publicly accessible 
            website controlled by a Member, committee, Library of 
            Congress, or other office of Congress, or the Government 
            Printing Office, as reported to the Presiding Officer by the 
            Secretary of the Senate.
     28.9b      (b)(1) This paragraph may be waived in the Senate with 
            respect to the pending conference report by an affirmative 
            vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. 
            A motion to waive this paragraph shall be debatable for not 
            to exceed 1 hour equally divided between the Majority Leader 
            and the Minority Leader or their designees.
                (2) An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, 
            duly chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an 
            appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised 
            under this paragraph. An appeal of the ruling of the Chair 
            shall be debatable for not to exceed 1 hour equally divided 
            between the Majority and the Minority Leader or their 
            designees.
     28.9c      (c) This paragraph may be waived by joint agreement of 
            the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader of the Senate, 
            upon their certification that such waiver is necessary as a 
            result of a significant disruption to Senate facilities or 
            to the availability of the Internet.

        29                            RULE XXIX

            Executive business, he shall have a seat on the right of the

      29.3      3. All confidential communications made by the President 
            of the United States to the Senate shall be by the Senators 
            and the officers of the Senate kept secret; and all treaties 
            which may be laid before the Senate, and all remarks, votes,

            of secrecy.
      29.4      4. Whenever the injunction of secrecy shall be removed 
            from any part of the proceedings of the Senate in closed 
            Executive or legislative session, the order of the Senate 
            removing the same shall be entered in the Legislative 
            Journal as well as in the Executive Journal, and shall be 
            published in the Congressional Record under the direction of 
            the Secretary of the Senate.

            proceedings of the Senate, including the business and 
            proceedings of the committees, subcommittees and offices of 
            the Senate shall be liable, if a Senator, to suffer 
            expulsion from the body; and if an officer or employee, to 
            dismissal from the service of the Senate, and to punishment 
            for contempt.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
      29.6      6. Whenever, by the request of the Senate or any 
            committee thereof, any documents or papers shall be 
            communicated to the Senate by the President or the head of 
            any department relating to any matter pending in the Senate, 
            the proceedings in regard to which are secret or 
            confidential under the rules, said documents and papers 
            shall be considered as confidential, and shall not be 
            disclosed without leave of the Senate.

        30                            RULE XXX

                     EXECUTIVE SESSION--PROCEEDINGS ON TREATIES

     30.1a      1. (a) When a treaty shall be laid before the Senate for 
            ratification, it shall be read a first time; and no motion 
            in respect to it shall be in order, except to refer it to a 
            committee, to print it in confidence for the use of the 
            Senate, or to remove the injunction of secrecy.
     30.1b      (b)\40\ When a treaty is reported from a committee with 
            or without amendment, it shall, unless the Senate 
            unanimously otherwise directs, lie over one day for 
            consideration; after which it may be read a second time, 
            after which amendments may be proposed. At any stage of such 
            proceedings the Senate may remove the injunction of secrecy 
            from the treaty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \40\As amended by S. Res. 28, 99-2, Feb. 27, 1986.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     30.1c      (c) The decisions thus made shall be reduced to the form 
            of a resolution of ratification, with or without amendments, 
            as the case may be, which shall be proposed on a subsequent 
            day, unless, by unanimous consent, the Senate determine 
            otherwise, at which stage no amendment to the treaty shall 
            be received unless by unanimous consent; but the resolution 
            of ratification when pending shall be open to amendment in 
            the form of reservations, declarations, statements, or 
            understandings.
     30.1d      (d) On the final question to advise and consent to the 
            ratification in the form agreed to, the concurrence of two-
            thirds of the Senators present shall be necessary to 
            determine it in the affirmative; but all other motions and 
            questions upon a treaty shall be decided by a majority vote, 
            except a motion to postpone indefinitely, which shall be 
            decided by a vote of two-thirds.
      30.2      2. Treaties transmitted by the President to the Senate 
            for ratification shall be resumed at the second or any 
            subsequent session of the same Congress at the stage in 
            which they were left at the final adjournment of the session 
            at which they were transmitted; but all proceedings on 
            treaties shall terminate with the Congress, and they shall 
            be resumed at the commencement of the next Congress as if no 
            proceedings had previously been had thereon.

        31                            RULE XXXI

                    EXECUTIVE SESSION--PROCEEDINGS ON NOMINATIONS

      31.1      1. When nominations shall be made by the President of 
            the United States to the Senate, they shall, unless 
            otherwise ordered, be referred to appropriate committees; 
            and the final question on every nomination shall be, ``Will 
            the Senate advise and consent to this nomination?'' which 
            question shall not be put on the same day on which the 
            nomination is received, nor on the day on which it may be 
            reported by a committee, unless by unanimous consent.
      31.2      2. All business in the Senate shall be transacted in 
            open session, unless the Senate as provided in rule XXI by a 
            majority vote shall determine that a particular nomination, 
            treaty, or other matter shall be considered in closed 
            executive session, in which case all subsequent proceedings 
            with respect to said nomination, treaty, or other matter 
            shall be kept secret: Provided, That the injunction of 
            secrecy as to the whole or any part of proceedings in closed 
            executive session may be removed on motion adopted by a 
            majority vote of the Senate in closed executive session: 
            Provided further, That any Senator may make public his vote 
            in closed executive session.
      31.3      3. When a nomination is confirmed or rejected, any 
            Senator voting in the majority may move for a 
            reconsideration on the same day on which the vote was taken, 
            or on either of the next two days of actual executive 
            session of the Senate; but if a notification of the 
            confirmation or rejection of a nomination shall have been 
            sent to the President before the expiration of the time 
            within which a motion to reconsider may be made, the motion 
            to reconsider shall be accompanied by a motion to request 
            the President to return such notification to the Senate. Any 
            motion to reconsider the vote on a nomination may be laid on 
            the table without prejudice to the nomination, and shall be 
            a final disposition of such motion.
      31.4      4. Nominations confirmed or rejected by the Senate shall 
            not be returned by the Secretary to the President until the 
            expiration of the time limited for making a motion to 
            reconsider the same, or while a motion to reconsider is 
            pending unless otherwise ordered by the Senate.
      31.5      5. When the Senate shall adjourn or take a recess for 
            more than thirty days, all motions to reconsider a vote upon 
            a nomination which has been confirmed or rejected by the 
            Senate, which shall be pending at the time of taking such 
            adjournment or recess, shall fall; and the Secretary shall 
            return all such nominations to the President as confirmed or 
            rejected by the Senate, as the case may be.
      31.6      6. Nominations neither confirmed nor rejected during the 
            session at which they are made shall not be acted upon at 
            any succeeding session without being again made to the 
            Senate by the President; and if the Senate shall adjourn or 
            take a recess for more than thirty days, all nominations 
            pending and not finally acted upon at the time of taking 
            such adjournment or recess shall be returned by the 
            Secretary to the President, and shall not again be 
            considered unless they shall again be made to the Senate by 
            the President.

                    value of the ticket or, in the case of a ticket 
                    without a face value, the value of the ticket with

                    a ticket holder can establish in advance of the 
                    event to the Select Committee on Ethics that the 
                    ticket at issue is equivalent to another ticket with 
                    a face value, then the market value shall be set at

                    the Senator's immediate family has a pecuniary 
                    interest in the item, consistent with the 
                    requirements of paragraph 9.
     44.6b      (b) With respect to each item included in a Senate bill 
            or joint resolution (or accompanying report) reported by 
            committee or considered by the Senate, or included in a 
            conference report (or joint statement of managers 
            accompanying the conference report) considered by the 
            Senate, each committee of jurisdiction shall make available 
            for public inspection on the Internet the certifications 
            under subparagraph (a)(5) as soon as practicable.
      44.7      7. In the case of a bill, joint resolution, or 
            conference report that contains congressionally directed 
            spending items in any classified portion of a report 
            accompanying the measure, the committee of jurisdiction 
            shall, to the greatest extent practicable, consistent with 
            the need to protect national security (including 
            intelligence sources and methods), include on the list 
            required by paragraph 1, 2, or 3 as the case may be, a 
            general program description in unclassified language, 
            funding level, and the name of the sponsor of that 
            congressionally directed spending item.
     44.8a      8. (a) A Senator may raise a point of order against one 
            or more provisions of a conference report if they constitute 
            new directed spending provisions. The Presiding Officer may 
            sustain the point of order as to some or all of the 
            provisions against which the Senator raised the point of 
            order.
     44.8b      (b) If the Presiding Officer sustains the point of order 
            as to any of the provisions against which the Senator raised 
            the point of order, then those provisions against which the 
            Presiding Officer sustains the point of order shall be 
            stricken. After all other points of order under this 
            paragraph have been disposed of--
                        (1) the Senate shall proceed to consider the 
                    question of whether the Senate should recede from 
                    its amendment to the House bill, or its disagreement 
                    to the amendment of the House, and concur with a 
                    further amendment, which further amendment shall 
                    consist of only that portion of the conference 
                    report that has not been stricken; and
                        (2) the question in clause (1) shall be decided 
                    under the same debate limitation as the conference 
                    report and no further amendment shall be in order.

     44.8c      (c) Any Senator may move to waive any or all points of 
            order under this paragraph with respect to the pending 
            conference report by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of 
            the Members, duly chosen and sworn. All motions to waive 
            under this paragraph shall be debatable collectively for not 
            to exceed 1 hour equally divided between the Majority Leader 
            and the Minority Leader or their designees. A motion to 
            waive all points of order under this paragraph shall not be 
            amendable.
     44.8d      (d) All appeals from rulings of the Chair under this 
            paragraph shall be debatable collectively for not to exceed 
            1 hour, equally divided between the Majority and the 
            Minority Leader or their designees. An affirmative vote of 
            three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and 
            sworn, shall be required in the Senate to sustain an appeal 
            of the ruling of the Chair under this paragraph.
     44.8e      (e) The term ``new directed spending provision'' as used 
            in this paragraph means any item that consists of a specific 
            provision containing a specific level of funding for any 
            specific account, specific program, specific project, or 
            specific activity, when no specific funding was provided for 
            such specific account, specific program, specific project, 
            or specific activity in the measure originally committed to 
            the conferees by either House.
      44.9      9. No Member, officer, or employee of the Senate shall 
            knowingly use his official position to introduce, request, 
            or otherwise aid the progress or passage of congressionally 
            directed spending items, limited tax benefits, or limited 
            tariff benefits a principal purpose of which is to further 
            only his pecuniary interest, only the pecuniary interest of 
            his immediate family, or only the pecuniary interest of a 
            limited class of persons or enterprises, when he or his 
            immediate family, or enterprises controlled by them, are 
            members of the affected class.
     44.10      10. Any Senator may move to waive application of 
            paragraph 1, 2, or 3 with respect to a measure by an 
            affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen 
            and sworn. A motion to waive under this paragraph with 
            respect to a measure shall be debatable for not to exceed 1 
            hour equally divided between the Majority Leader and the 
            Minority Leader or their designees. With respect to points 
            of order raised under paragraphs 1, 2, or 3, only one appeal 
            from a ruling of the Chair shall be in order, and debate on 
            such an appeal from a ruling of the Chair on such point of 
            order shall be limited to one hour.
     44.11      11. Any Senator may move to waive all points of order 
            under this rule with respect to the pending measure or 
            motion by an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
            Members, duly chosen and sworn. All motions to waive all 
            points of order with respect to a measure or motion as 
            provided by this paragraph shall be debatable collectively 
            for not to exceed 1 hour equally divided between the 
            Majority Leader and the Minority Leader or their designees. 
            A motion to waive all points of order with respect to a 
            measure or motion as provided by this paragraph shall not be 
            amendable.
     44.12      12. Paragraph 1, 2, or 3 of this rule may be waived by 
            joint agreement of the Majority Leader and the Minority 
            Leader of the Senate upon their certification that such 
            waiver is necessary as a result of a significant disruption 
            to Senate facilities or to the availability of the Internet.

            ____________________________________________________________
                [Note.--S. Res. 445, 108-2, a resolution to eliminate 
            certain restrictions on service of a Senator on the Senate 
            Select Committee on Intelligence, passed the Senate Oct. 9, 
            2004. The resolution made several changes to the 
            jurisdiction, treatment and name of Senate Committees. 
            However, the provisions of S. Res. 445 did not modify the 
            Standing Rules of the Senate and therefore could not be 
            included in this document except as an appendix. The 
            effective date for the provisions of the resolution was the 
            convening of the 109th Congress. Titles I, III and V of S. 
            Res. 445 are printed in this appendix.
                S. Res. 28, 112-1, a resolution to establish as a 
            standing order of the Senate that a Senator publicly 
            disclose a notice of intent to objecting to any measure or 
            matter, passed the Senate Jan. 27, 2011. S. Res. 29, 112-1, 
            a resolution to permit the waiving of the reading of an 
            amendment if the text and adequate notice are provided, 
            passed the Senate Jan. 27, 2011. S. Res. 15, 113-1, a 
            resolution to improve procedures for the consideration of 
            legislation and nominations in the Senate, passed the Senate 
            Jan. 24, 2013. These resolutions made changes to Senate 
            procedure but did not modify the Standing Rules of the 
            Senate and therefore could not be included in this document 
            except as an appendix. S. Res. 28, S. Res 29 and S. Res. 15 
            are printed in this appendix.

                        the Senate on a measure or matter proceeded to 
                        under this section, it shall not be in order for 
                        the minority to propose its first amendment 
                        unless it has been submitted to the Senate 
                        Journal Clerk by 1:00 p.m. on the day following 
                        the filing of that cloture motion, for the 
                        majority to propose its first amendment unless

                        5:00 p.m. on the day following the filing of 
                        that cloture motion, or for the majority to 
                        propose its second amendment unless it has been

                        p.m. on the day following the filing of that 
                        cloture motion. If an amendment is not timely 
                        submitted under this paragraph, the right to

                        shall be disposed of before the next amendment 
                        in order under paragraph (1) may be offered.

                        (1), if adopted, shall be considered original 
                        text for purpose of further amendment.

                        Standing Rules of the Senate, if cloture is 
                        invoked on the measure or matter before all 
                        amendments offered under paragraph (1) are 
                        disposed of, any amendment in order under 
                        paragraph (1) but not actually pending upon the 
                        expiration of post-cloture time may be offered 
                        and may be debated for not to exceed 1 hour,

                        offered under paragraph (1) that is ruled non-
                        germane on a point of order shall not fall upon 
                        that ruling, but instead shall remain pending 
                        and shall require 60 votes in the affirmative to 
                        be agreed to.
      48.b      (b) Sunset.--This section shall expire on the day after 
            the date of the sine die adjournment of the 113th Congress.

            performance of their duties as Members, officers, or 
            employees of the Senate.
                (3) Any person who knowingly and willfully swears 
            falsely to a sworn complaint does so under penalty of 
            perjury, and the Select Committee may refer any such case to 
            the Attorney General for prosecution.
                (4) For the purposes of this section, ``investigation'' 
            is a proceeding undertaken by the Select Committee after a 
            finding, on the basis of an initial review, that there is 
            substantial credible evidence which provides substantial 
            cause for the Select Committee to conclude that a violation 
            within the jurisdiction of the Select Committee has 
            occurred.
                (c)(1) No investigation of conduct of a Member or 
            officer of the Senate, and no report, resolution, or 
            recommendation relating thereto, may be made unless approved 
            by the affirmative recorded vote of not less than four 
            members of the Select Committee.
                (2) No other resolution, report, recommendation, 
            interpretative ruling, or advisory opinion may be made 
            without an affirmative vote of a majority of the members of 
            the Select Committee voting.
                (d)(1) When the Select Committee receives a sworn 
            complaint against a Member or officer of the Senate, it 
            shall promptly conduct an initial review of that complaint. 
            The initial review shall be of duration and scope necessary 
            to determine whether there is substantial credible evidence 
            which provides substantial cause for the Select Committee to 
            conclude that a violation within the jurisdiction of the 
            Select Committee has occurred.
                (2) If as a result of an initial review under paragraph 
            (1), the Select Committee determines by a recorded vote that 
            there is not such substantial credible evidence, the Select 
            Committee shall report such determination to the complainant 
            and to the party charged, together with an explanation of 
            the basis of such determination.
                (3) If as a result of an initial review under paragraph 
            (1), the Select Committee determines that a violation is 
            inadvertent, technical, or otherwise of a de minimis nature, 
            the Select Committee may attempt to correct or prevent such 
            a violation by informal methods.
                (4) If as the result of an initial review under 
            paragraph (1), the Select Committee determines that there is 
            such substantial credible evidence but that the violation, 
            if proven, is neither of a de minimis nature nor 
            sufficiently serious to justify any of the penalties 
            expressly referred to in subsection (a)(2), the Select 
            Committee may propose a remedy it deems appropriate. If the 
            matter is thereby resolved, a summary of the Select 
            Committee's conclusions and the remedy proposed shall be 
            filed as a public record with the Secretary of the Senate 
            and a notice of such filing shall be printed in the 
            Congressional Record.
                (5) If as the result of an initial review under 
            paragraph (1), the Select Committee determines that there is 
            such substantial credible evidence, the Select Committee 
            shall promptly conduct an investigation if (A) the 
            violation, if proven, would be sufficiently serious, in the 
            judgment of the Select Committee, to warrant imposition of 
            one or more of the penalties expressly referred to in 
            subsection (a)(2), or (B) the violation, if proven, is less 
            serious, but was not resolved pursuant to paragraph (4) 
            above. Upon the conclusion of such investigation, the Select 
            Committee shall report to the Senate, as soon as 
            practicable, the results of such investigation together with 
            its recommendations (if any) pursuant to subsection (a)(2).
                (6) Upon the conclusion of any other investigation 
            respecting the conduct of a Member or officer undertaken by 
            the Select Committee, the Select Committee shall report to 
            the Senate, as soon as practicable, the results of such 
            investigation together with its recommendations (if any) 
            pursuant to subsection (a)(2).
                (e) When the Select Committee receives a sworn complaint 
            against an employee of the Senate, it shall consider the 
            complaint according to procedures it deems appropriate. If 
            the Select Committee determines that the complaint is 
            without substantial merit, it shall notify the complainant 
            and the accused of its determination, together with an 
            explanation of the basis of such determination.
                (f) The Select Committee may, in its discretion, employ 
            hearing examiners to hear testimony and make findings of 
            fact and/or recommendations to the Select Committee 
            concerning the disposition of complaints.
                (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, 
            no initial review or investigation shall be made of any 
            alleged violation of any law, the Senate Code of Official 
            Conduct, rule, or regulation which was not in effect at the 
            time the alleged violation occurred. No provision of the 
            Senate Code of Official Conduct shall apply to or require 
            disclosure of any act, relationship, or transaction which 
            occurred prior to the effective date of the applicable 
            provision of the Code. The Select Committee may conduct an 
            initial review or investigation of any alleged violation of 
            a rule or law which was in effect prior to the enactment of 
            the Senate Code of Official Conduct if the alleged violation 
            occurred while such rule or law was in effect and the 
            violation was not a matter resolved on the merits by the 
            predecessor Select Committee.
                (h) The Select Committee shall adopt written rules 
            setting forth procedures to be used in conducting 
            investigations of complaints.
                (i) The Select Committee from time to time shall 
            transmit to the Senate its recommendation as to any 
            legislative measures which it may consider to be necessary 
            for the effective discharge of its duties.
                Sec. 3. (a) The Select Committee is authorized to (1) 
            make such expenditures; (2) hold such hearings; (3) sit and 
            act at such times and places during the sessions, recesses, 
            and adjournment periods of the Senate; (4) require by 
            subpoena or otherwise the attendance of such witnesses and 
            the production of such correspondence, books, papers, and 
            documents; (5) administer such oaths; (6) take such 
            testimony orally or by deposition; (7) employ and fix the 
            compensation of a staff director, a counsel, an assistant 
            counsel, one or more investigators, one or more hearing 
            examiners, and such technical, clerical, and other 
            assistants and consultants as it deems advisable; and (8) to 
            procure the temporary services (not in excess of one year) 
            or intermittent services of individual consultants, or 
            organizations thereof, by contract as independent 
            contractors or, in the case of individuals, by employment at 
            daily rates of compensation not in excess of the per diem 
            equivalent of the highest rate of compensation which may be 
            paid to a regular employee of the Select Committee.
                (b)(1) The Select Committee is authorized to retain and 
            compensate counsel not employed by the Senate (or by any 
            department or agency of the executive branch of the 
            Government) whenever the Select Committee determines that 
            the retention of outside counsel is necessary or appropriate 
            for any action regarding any complaint or allegation, which, 
            in the determination of the Select Committee is more 
            appropriately conducted by counsel not employed by the 
            Government of the United States as a regular employee.
                (2) Any investigation conducted under section 2 shall be 
            conducted by outside counsel as authorized in paragraph (1), 
            unless the Select Committee determines not to use outside 
            counsel.
                (c) With the prior consent of the department or agency 
            concerned, the Select Committee may (1) utilize the 
            services, information, and facilities of any such department 
            or agency of the Government, and (2) employ on a 
            reimbursable basis or otherwise the services of such 
            personnel of any such department or agency as it deems 
            advisable. With the consent of any other committee of the 
            Senate, or any subcommittee thereof, the Select Committee 
            may utilize the facilities and the services of the staff of 
            such other committee or subcommittee whenever the chairman 
            of the Select Committee determines that such action is 
            necessary and appropriate.
                (d) Subpoenas may be issued (1) by the Select Committee 
            or (2) by the chairman and vice chairman, acting jointly. 
            Any such subpoena shall be signed by the chairman or the 
            vice chairman and may be served by any person designated by 
            such chairman or vice chairman. The chairman of the Select 
            Committee or any member thereof may administer oaths to 
            witnesses.
                (e)(1) The Select Committee shall prescribe and publish 
            such regulations as it feels are necessary to implement the 
            Senate Code of Official Conduct.
                (2) The Select Committee is authorized to issue 
            interpretative rulings explaining and clarifying the 
            application of any law, the Code of Official Conduct, or any 
            rule or regulation of the Senate within its jurisdiction.
                (3) The Select Committee shall render an advisory 
            opinion, in writing within a reasonable time, in response to 
            a written request by a Member or officer of the Senate or a 
            candidate for nomination for election, or election to the 
            Senate, concerning the application of any law, the Senate 
            Code of Official Conduct, or any rule or regulation of the 
            Senate within its jurisdiction to a specific factual 
            situation pertinent to the conduct or proposed conduct of 
            the person seeking the advisory opinion.
                (4) The Select Committee may in its discretion render an 
            advisory opinion in writing within a reasonable time in 
            response to a written request by any employee of the Senate 
            concerning the application of any law, the Senate Code of 
            Official Conduct, or any rule or regulation of the Senate 
            within its jurisdiction to a specific factual situation 
            pertinent to the conduct or proposed conduct of the person 
            seeking the advisory opinion.
                (5) Notwithstanding any provision of the Senate Code of 
            Official Conduct or any rule or regulation of the Senate, 
            any person who relies upon any provision or finding of an 
            advisory opinion in accordance with the provisions of 
            paragraphs (3) and (4) and who acts in good faith in 
            accordance with the provisions and findings of such advisory 
            opinion shall not, as a result of any such act, be subject 
            to any sanction by the Senate.
                (6) Any advisory opinion rendered by the Select 
            Committee under paragraphs (3) and (4) may be relied upon by 
            (A) any person involved in the specific transaction or 
            activity with respect to which such advisory opinion is 
            rendered: Provided, however, That the request for such 
            advisory opinion included a complete and accurate statement 
            of the specific factual situation; and (B) any person 
            involved in any specific transaction or activity which is 
            indistinguishable in all its material aspects from the 
            transaction or activity with respect to which such advisory 
            opinion is rendered.
                (7) Any advisory opinion issued in response to a request 
            under paragraph (3) or (4) shall be printed in the 
            Congressional Record with appropriate deletions to assure 
            the privacy of the individual concerned. The Select 
            Committee shall to the extent practicable, before rendering 
            an advisory opinion, provide any interested party with an 
            opportunity to transmit written comments to the Select 
            Committee with respect to the request for such advisory 
            opinion. The advisory opinions issued by the Select 
            Committee shall be compiled, indexed, reproduced, and made 
            available on a periodic basis.
                (8) A brief description of a waiver granted under 
            section 102(a)(2)(B) of Title I of Ethics in Government Act 
            of 1978\1\ or paragraph 1 of rule XXXV\2\ of the Standing

            the Select Committee office with appropriate deletions to 
            assure the privacy of the individual concerned.

        81                SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE

                Resolved, That it is the purpose of this resolution to 
            establish a new select committee of the Senate, to be known 
            as the Select Committee on Intelligence, to oversee and make 
            continuing studies of the intelligence activities and 
            programs of the United States Government, and to submit to 
            the Senate appropriate proposals for legislation and report 
            to the Senate concerning such intelligence activities and 
            programs. In carrying out this purpose, the Select Committee 
            on Intelligence shall make every effort to assure that the 
            appropriate departments and agencies of the United States 
            provide informed and timely intelligence necessary for the 
            executive and legislative branches to make sound decisions

            vigilant legislative oversight over the intelligence 
            activities of the United States to assure that such

                Sec. 2. (a)(1) There is hereby established a select 
            committee to be known as the Select Committee on

            containing any matter otherwise within the jurisdiction of 
            any standing committee shall, at the request of the chairman 
            of such standing committee, be referred to such standing

            standing committee; and any proposed legislation reported by 
            any committee, other than the select Committee, which 
            contains any matter within the jurisdiction of the select 
            Committee shall, at the request of the chairman of the 
            select Committee, be referred to the select Committee for 
            its consideration of such matter and be reported to the 
            Senate by the select Committee within 10 days after the day

                (2) In any case in which a committee fails to report any 
            proposed legislation referred to it within the time limit 
            prescribed in this subsection, such Committee shall be 
            automatically discharged from further consideration of such 
            proposed legislation on the 10th day following the day on 
            which such proposed legislation is referred to such 
            committee unless the Senate provides otherwise, or the 
            Majority Leader or Minority Leader request, prior to that 
            date, an additional 5 days on behalf of the Committee to 
            which the proposed legislation was sequentially referred. At 
            the end of that additional 5 day period, if the Committee 
            fails to report the proposed legislation within that 5 day 
            period, the Committee shall be automatically discharged from 
            further consideration of such proposed legislation unless

                (4) The reporting and referral processes outlined in

            the Standing Rules of the Senate. In accordance with such 
            rules, committees to which legislation is referred are not 
            permitted to make changes or alterations to the text of the 
            referred bill and its annexes, but may propose changes or 
            alterations to the same in the form of amendments.
                (c) Nothing in this resolution shall be construed as 
            prohibiting or otherwise restricting the authority of any 
            other committee to study and review any intelligence 
            activity to the extent that such activity directly affects a 
            matter otherwise within the jurisdiction of such committee.
                (d) Nothing in this resolution shall be construed as 
            amending, limiting, or otherwise changing the authority of 
            any standing committee of the Senate to obtain full and 
            prompt access to the product of the intelligence activities 
            of any department or agency of the Government relevant to a 
            matter otherwise within the jurisdiction of such committee.
                Sec. 4. (a) The select committee, for the purposes of 
            accountability to the Senate, shall make regular and 
            periodic, but not less than quarterly, reports to the Senate 
            on the nature and extent of the intelligence activities of 
            the various departments and agencies of the United States. 
            Such committee shall promptly call to the attention of the 
            Senate or to any other appropriate committee or committees 
            of the Senate any matters requiring the attention of the 
            Senate or such other committee or committees. In making such 
            report, the select committee shall proceed in a manner 
            consistent with section 8(c)(2) to protect national 
            security.
                (b) The select committee shall obtain an annual report 
            from the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of 
            the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secretary of Defense, 
            the Secretary of State, and the Director of the Federal 
            Bureau of Investigation. Such reports shall review the 
            intelligence activities of the agency or department 
            concerned and the intelligence activities of foreign 
            countries directed at the United States or its interest. An 
            unclassified version of each report may be made available to 
            the public at the discretion of the select committee. 
            Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the public 
            disclosure in such reports of the names of individuals 
            engaged in intelligence activities for the United States or 
            the divulging of intelligence methods employed or the 
            sources of information on which such reports are based or 
            the amount of funds authorized to be appropriated for 
            intelligence activities.
                (c) On or before March 15 of each year, the select 
            committee shall submit to the Committee on the Budget of the 
            Senate the views and estimates described in section 301(c) 
            of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 regarding matters 
            within the jurisdiction of the select committee.
                Sec. 5. (a) For the purposes of this resolution, the 
            select committee is authorized in its discretion (1) to make 
            investigations into any matter within its jurisdiction, (2) 
            to make expenditures from the contingent fund of the Senate, 
            (3) to employ personnel, (4) to hold hearings, (5) to sit 
            and act at any time or place during the sessions, recesses, 
            and adjourned periods of the Senate, (6) to require, by 
            subpoena or otherwise, the attendance of witnesses and the 
            production of correspondence, books, papers, and documents, 
            (7) to take depositions and other testimony, (8) to procure 
            the service of individual consultants or organizations 
            thereof, in accordance with the provisions of section 202(i) 
            of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, and (9) with 
            the prior consent of the government department or agency 
            concerned and the Committee on Rules and Administration, to 
            use on a reimbursable basis the services of personnel of any 
            such department or agency.
                (b) The chairman of the select committee or any member 
            thereof may administer oaths to witnesses.
                (c) Subpoenas authorized by the select committee may be 
            issued over the signature of the chairman, the vice chairman 
            or any member of the select committee designated by the 
            chairman, and may be served by any person designated by the 
            chairman or any member signing the subpoenas.
                Sec. 6. No employee of the select committee or any 
            person engaged by contract or otherwise to perform services 
            for or at the request of such committee shall be given 
            access to any classified information by such committee 
            unless such employee or person has (1) agreed in writing and 
            under oath to be bound by the rules of the Senate (including 
            the jurisdiction of the Select Committee on Ethics) and of 
            such committee as to the security of such information during 
            and after the period of his employment or contractual 
            agreement with such committee; and (2) received an 
            appropriate security clearance as determined by such 
            committee in consultation with the Director of National 
            Intelligence. The type of security clearance to be required 
            in the case of any such employee or person shall, within the 
            determination of such committee in consultation with the 
            Director of National Intelligence, be commensurate with the 
            sensitivity of the classified information to which such 
            employee or person will be given access by such committee.
                Sec. 7. The select committee shall formulate and carry 
            out such rules and procedures as it deems necessary to 
            prevent the disclosure, without the consent of the person or 
            persons concerned, of information in the possession of such 
            committee which unduly infringes upon the privacy or which 
            violates the constitutional rights of such person or 
            persons. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent such 
            committee from publicly disclosing any such information in 
            any case in which such committee determines the national 
            interest in the disclosure of such information clearly 
            outweighs any infringement on the privacy of any person or 
            persons.
                Sec. 8. (a) The select committee may, subject to the 
            provisions of this section, disclose publicly any 
            information in the possession of such committee after a 
            determination by such committee that the public interest 
            would be served by such disclosure. Whenever committee 
            action is required to disclose any information under this 
            section, the committee shall meet to vote on the matter 
            within five days after any member of the committee requests 
            such a vote. No member of the select committee shall 
            disclose any information, the disclosure of which requires a 
            committee vote, prior to a vote by the committee on the 
            question of the disclosure of such information or after such 
            vote except in accordance with this section.
                (b)(1) In any case in which the select committee votes 
            to disclose publicly any information which has been 
            classified under established security procedures, which has 
            been submitted to it by the Executive branch, and which the 
            Executive branch requests be kept secret, such committee 
            shall--
                        (A) first, notify the Majority Leader and 
                    Minority Leader of the Senate of such vote; and
                        (B) second, consult with the Majority Leader and 
                    Minority Leader before notifying the President of 
                    such vote.
                (2) The select committee may disclose publicly such 
            information after the expiration of a five-day period 
            following the day on which notice of such vote is 
            transmitted to the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader 
            and the President, unless, prior to the expiration of such 
            five-day period, the President, personally in writing, 
            notifies the committee that he objects to the disclosure of 
            such information, provides his reasons therefore, and 
            certifies that the threat to the national interest of the 
            United States posed by such disclosure is of such gravity 
            that it outweighs any public interest in the disclosure.
                (3) If the President, personally, in writing, notifies 
            the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the Senate and 
            the select Committee of his objections to the disclosure of 
            such information as provided in paragraph (2), the Majority 
            Leader and Minority Leader jointly or the select Committee, 
            by majority vote, may refer the question of the disclosure 
            of such information to the Senate for consideration.
                (4) Whenever the select committee votes to refer the 
            question of disclosure of any information to the Senate 
            under paragraph (3), the Chairman shall not later than the 
            first day on which the Senate is in session following the 
            day on which the vote occurs, report the matter to the 
            Senate for its consideration.
                (5) One hour after the Senate convenes on the fourth day 
            on which the Senate is in session following the day on which 
            any such matter is reported to the Senate, or at such 
            earlier time as the majority leader and the minority leader 
            of the Senate jointly agree upon in accordance with 
            paragraph 5 of rule XVII of the Standing Rules of the 
            Senate, the Senate shall go into closed session and the 
            matter shall be the pending business. In considering the 
            matter in closed session the Senate may--
                        (A) approve the public disclosure of all or any 
                    portion of the information in question, in which 
                    case the committee shall publicly disclose the 
                    information ordered to be disclosed,
                        (B) disapprove the public disclosure of all or 
                    any portion of the information in question, in which 
                    case the committee shall not publicly disclose the 
                    information ordered not to be disclosed, or
                        (C) refer all or any portion of the matter back 
                    to the committee, in which case the committee shall 
                    make the final determination with respect to the 
                    public disclosure of the information in question.
            Upon conclusion of the consideration of such matter in 
            closed session, which may not extend beyond the close of the 
            ninth day on which the Senate is in session following the 
            day on which such matter was reported to the Senate, or the 
            close of the fifth day following the day agreed upon jointly 
            by the majority and minority leaders in accordance with 
            paragraph 5 of rule XVII of the Standing Rules of the Senate 
            (whichever the case may be), the Senate shall immediately 
            vote on the disposition of such matter in open session, 
            without debate, and without divulging the information with 
            respect to which the vote is being taken. The Senate shall 
            vote to dispose of such matter by one or more of the means 
            specified in clauses (A), (B), and (C) of the second 
            sentence of this paragraph. Any vote of the Senate to 
            disclose any information pursuant to this paragraph shall be 
            subject to the right of a Member of the Senate to move for 
            reconsideration of the vote within the time and pursuant to 
            the procedures specified in rule XIII of the Standing Rules 
            of the Senate, and the disclosure of such information shall 
            be made consistent with that right.
                (c)(1) No information in the possession of the select 
            committee relating to the lawful intelligence activities of 
            any department or agency of the United States which has been 
            classified under established security procedures and which 
            the select committee, pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of 
            this section, has determined should not be disclosed shall 
            be made available to any person by a Member, officer, or 
            employee of the Senate except in a closed session of the 
            Senate or as provided in paragraph (2).
                (2) The select committee may, under such regulations as 
            the committee shall prescribe to protect the confidentiality 
            of such information, make any information described in 
            paragraph (1) available to any other committee or any other 
            Member of the Senate. Whenever the select committee makes 
            such information available, the committee shall keep a 
            written record showing, in the case of any particular 
            information, which committee or which Members of the Senate 
            received such information. No Member of the Senate who, and 
            no committee which, receives any information under this 
            subsection, shall disclose such information except in a 
            closed session of the Senate.
                (d) It shall be the duty of the Select Committee on 
            Ethics to investigate any unauthorized disclosure of 
            intelligence information by a Member, officer or employee of 
            the Senate in violation of subsection (c) and to report to 
            the Senate concerning any allegation which it finds to be 
            substantiated.
                (e) Upon the request of any person who is subject to any 
            such investigation, the Select Committee on Ethics shall 
            release to such individual at the conclusion of its 
            investigation a summary of its investigation together with 
            its findings. If, at the conclusion of its investigation, 
            the Select Committee on Ethics determines that there has 
            been a significant breach of confidentiality or unauthorized 
            disclosure by a Member, officer, or employee of the Senate, 
            it shall report its findings to the Senate and recommend 
            appropriate action such as censure, removal from committee 
            membership, or expulsion from the Senate, in the case of a 
            Member, or removal from office or employment or punishment 
            for contempt, in the case of an officer or employee.
                Sec. 9. The select committee is authorized to permit any 
            personal representative of the President, designated by the 
            President to serve as a liaison to such committee, to attend 
            any closed meeting of such committee.
                Sec. 10. Upon expiration of the Select Committee on 
            Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence 
            Activities, established by Senate Resolution 21, Ninety-
            fourth Congress, all records, files, documents, and other 
            materials in the possession, custody, or control of such 
            committee, under appropriate conditions established by it, 
            shall be transferred to the select committee.
                Sec. 11. (a) It is the sense of the Senate that the head 
            of each department and agency of the United States should 
            keep the select committee fully and currently informed with 
            respect to intelligence activities, including any 
            significant anticipated activities, which are the 
            responsibility of or engaged in by such department or 
            agency: Provided, That this does not constitute a condition 
            precedent to the implementation of any such anticipated 
            intelligence activity.
                (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the head of any 
            department or agency of the United States involved in any 
            intelligence activities should furnish any information or 
            document in the possession, custody, or control of the 
            department or agency, or person paid by such department or 
            agency, whenever requested by the select committee with 
            respect to any matter within such committee's jurisdiction.
                (c) It is the sense of the Senate that each department 
            and agency of the United States should report immediately 
            upon discovery to the select committee any and all 
            intelligence activities which constitute violations of the 
            constitutional rights of any person, violations of law, or 
            violations of Executive orders, Presidential directives, or 
            departmental or agency rules or regulations; each department 
            and agency should further report to such committee what 
            actions have been taken or are expected to be taken by the 
            departments or agencies with respect to such violations.

                    the departments and agencies of the Executive branch 
                    to engage in intelligence activities and the 
                    desirability of developing charters for each

                    committee of the Senate on intelligence activities;
                        (7) the desirability of establishing a joint 
                    committee of the Senate and the House of 
                    Representatives on intelligence activities in lieu 
                    of having separate committees in each House of 
                    Congress, or of establishing procedures under which 
                    separate committees on intelligence activities of 
                    the two Houses of Congress would receive joint 
                    briefings from the intelligence agencies and

                    safeguarding of sensitive intelligence information;
                        (8) the authorization of funds for the 
                    intelligence activities of the Government and

                    funds is in the public interest; and
                        (9) the development of a uniform set of 
                    definitions for terms to be used in policies or 
                    guidelines which may be adopted by the executive or 
                    legislative branches to govern, clarify, and 
                    strengthen the operation of intelligence activities.

        99              LOYALTY CHECKS ON SENATE EMPLOYEES\1\

                Resolved, That hereafter when any person is appointed as 
            an employee of any committee of the Senate, of any Senator, 
            or of any office of the Senate the committee, Senator, or 
            officer having authority to make such appointment shall 
            transmit the name of such person to the Federal Bureau of 
            Investigation, together with a request that such committee, 
            Senator, or officer be informed as to any derogatory and 
            rebutting information in the possession of such agency 
            concerning the loyalty and reliability for security purposes 
            of such person, and in any case in which such derogatory 
            information is revealed such committee, Senator, or officer 
            shall make or cause to be made such further investigation as 
            shall have been considered necessary to determine the 
            loyalty and reliability for security purposes of such 
            person.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \1\This resolution has not been generally implemented 
            since the Federal Bureau of Investigation took the position 
            that it was not authorized to divulge the information 
            referred to in the resolution. However, the Bureau and the 
            Department of Defense cooperate with Senate committees and 
            offices which request security checks of specific employees 
            when it is considered necessary by a committee chairman or 
            officer of the Senate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Every such committee, Senator, and officer shall 
            promptly transmit to the Federal Bureau of Investigation a 
            list of the names of the incumbent employees of such 
            committee, Senator, or officer together with a request that 
            such committee, Senator, or officer be informed of any 
            derogatory and rebutting information contained in the files 
            of such agency concerning the loyalty and reliability for 
            security purposes of such employee.

       100                EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES\2\

            Whereas the Senate supports the principle that each 
                individual is entitled to the equal protection of the 
                laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Article of Amendment 
                to the Constitution of the United States; and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \2\See also rule XLII of the Standing Rules of the 
            Senate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Whereas the Senate as an employer is not compelled by law to 
                provide to its employees the protections against 
                discrimination established in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 
                or Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Now, 
                therefore, be it
                Resolved, That (a) no Member, officer, or employee of 
            the Senate shall, with respect to employment by the Senate 
            or any office thereof--
                        (1) fail or refuse to hire an individual,
                        (2) discharge an individual, or
                        (3) otherwise discriminate against an individual 
                    with respect to promotion, compensation, or terms, 
                    conditions, or privileges of employment,
            on the basis of such individual's race, color, religion, 
            sex, national origin or state of handicap.
                (b) Each Member, officer, and employee of the Senate 
            shall encourage the hiring of women and members of minority 
            groups at all levels of employment on the staffs of Members, 
            officers, and committees of the Senate.

       101                      SENATE YOUTH PROGRAM

            Whereas the continued vitality of our Republic depends, in 
                part, on the intelligent understanding of our political 
                processes and the functioning of our National Government 
                by the citizens of the United States; and
            Whereas the durability of a constitutional democracy is 
                dependent upon alert, talented, vigorous competition for 
                political leadership; and
            Whereas individual Senators have cooperated with various 
                private and university undergraduate and graduate 
                fellowship and internship programs relating to the work 
                of Congress; and
            Whereas, in the high schools of the United States, there 
                exists among students who have been elected to student-
                body offices in their sophomore, junior, or senior year 
                a potential reservoir of young citizens who are 
                experiencing their first responsibilities of service to 
                a constituency and who should be encouraged to deepen 
                their interest in and understanding of their country's 
                political processes: Now, therefore, be it

                Resolved, That the Senate hereby expresses its 
            willingness to cooperate in a nationwide competitive high 
            school Senate youth program which would give several 
            representative high school students from each State a short 
            indoctrination into the operation of the United States 
            Senate and the Federal Government generally, if such a 
            program can be satisfactorily arranged and completely 
            supported by private funds with no expense to the Federal 
            Government.
                Sec. 2. The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration 
            shall investigate the possibility of establishing such a 
            program and, if the committee determines such a program is 
            possible and advisable, it shall make the necessary 
            arrangements to establish the program.
                Sec. 3. For the purpose of this resolution, the term 
            ``State'' includes the Department of Defense education 
            system for dependents in overseas areas.

            Whereas by S. Res. 324 of the Eighty-seventh Congress, 
                agreed to May 17, 1962, the Senate expressed its 
                willingness to cooperate in a nationwide competitive 
                Senate youth program supported by private funds, which 
                would give representative high school students from each 
                State a short indoctrination into the operation of the 
                United States Senate and the Federal Government 
                generally, and authorized the Senate Committee on Rules 
                and Administration, if it should find such a program 
                possible and advisable, to make the necessary 
                arrangements therefor; and
            Whereas the Committee on Rules and Administration, after 
                appropriate investigation, having determined such a 
                program to be not only possible but highly desirable, 
                authorized its establishment and with the support of the 
                leaders and other Members of the Senate and the 
                cooperation of certain private institutions made the 
                necessary arrangements therefor; and
            Whereas, pursuant to such arrangements, and with the 
                cooperation of and participation by the offices of every 
                Member of the Senate and the Vice President, one hundred 
                and two student leaders representing all States of the 
                Union and the District of Columbia were privileged to 
                spend the period from January 28, 1963, through February 
                2, 1963, in the Nation's Capitol, thereby broadening 
                their knowledge and understanding of Congress and the 
                legislative process and stimulating their appreciation 
                of the importance of a freely elected legislature in the 
                perpetuation of our democratic system of government; and
            Whereas by S. Res. 147 of the Eighty-eighth Congress, agreed 
                to May 27, 1963, another group of student leaders from 
                throughout the United States spent approximately one 
                week in the Nation's Capitol, during January 1964; and
            Whereas it is the consensus of all who participated that the 
                above two programs were unqualifiedly successful, and in 
                all respects worthy and deserving of continuance; and
            Whereas the private foundation which financed the initial 
                programs has graciously offered to support a similar 
                program during the year ahead: Now, therefore, be it
                Resolved, That, until otherwise directed by the Senate 
            the Senate youth program authorized by S. Res. 324 of the 
            Eighty-seventh Congress, agreed to May 17, 1962, and 
            extended by S. Res. 147, agreed to May 27, 1963, may be 
            continued at the discretion of and under such conditions as 
            may be determined by the Committee on Rules and 
            Administration.

            applicable to Senators and Senate employees.
                (2) An outside vendor may provide for the travel and per 
            diem expenses only of senior citizen interns in the Senior

            vendor may be accepted as official travel expense 
            documentation for the purpose of reimbursing interns in the 
            program for travel expenses.
                Sec. 2. Compensation and payment under this resolution 
            shall be paid from and charged against the clerk-hire and 
            travel allowances of the Senator employing such senior 
            citizen intern.
                Sec. 3. The Committee on Rules and Administration is 
            authorized to prescribe such rules and regulations as it 
            determines necessary to carry out this resolution.

       117  STANDARDS OF CONDUCT FOR MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND OFFICERS 
                             AND EMPLOYEES OF THE SENATE

                Resolved, It is declared to be the policy of the Senate 
            that--
                (a) The ideal concept of public office, expressed by the 
            words, ``A public office is a public trust'', signifies that 
            the officer has been entrusted with public power by the 
            people; that the officer holds this power in trust to be 
            used only for their benefit and never for the benefit of 
            himself or of a few; and that the officer must never conduct 
            his own affairs so as to infringe on the public interest. 
            All official conduct of Members of the Senate should be 
            guided by this paramount concept of public office.
                (b) These rules, as the written expression of certain 
            standards of conduct, complement the body of unwritten but 
            generally accepted standards that continue to apply to the 
            Senate.

            Commission on Art should consider, at a minimum, the 
            following:
                        (1) The significance of the original, intended, 
                    or existing permanent artwork or semi-permanent

                    additional permanent artwork or semi-permanent 
                    artwork.
                        (2) The existing conditions of the surface of 
                    the proposed installation space.

                    proposed installation space.

                    installation of permanent artwork or semi-permanent 
                    artwork in the proposed installation space.
                        (5) The opinion of the Curatorial Advisory Board 
                    on such affixation.
                Sec. 3. Creation of artwork.
                If a request to affix permanent artwork or semi-
            permanent artwork to the walls, floors, or ceilings of the 
            public spaces and committee rooms of the Senate wing of the 
            Capitol and the Senate office buildings meets the

                In this resolution--
                (1) permanent artwork.--The term ``permanent artwork'' 
            means artwork that when applied directly to a wall, ceiling, 
            or floor has become part of the fabric of the building, 
            based on a consideration of relevant factors including--
                        (A) the original intent when the artwork was 
                    applied;
                        (B) the method of application;
                        (C) the adaptation or essentialness of the 
                    artwork to the building; and
                        (D) whether the removal of the artwork would 
                    cause damage to either the artwork or the surface 
                    that contains it.
                (2) semi-permanent artwork.--The term ``semi-permanent 
            artwork'' means artwork that when applied directly to the 
            surface of a wall, ceiling, or floor can be removed without 
            damaging the artwork or the surface to which the artwork is 
            applied.

            disclosure of any record so transferred, other than any 
            record of a Senate committee, if he determines that public

            on numerous occasions for the taking of official photographs 
            of the Senate in session, and on Dec. 19, 1974, for 
            telecasting the inauguration of Vice President Nelson A.

                                        recess.)
                Effective July 13, 1967, the legislative call system 
            shall be used for alerting Members of Congress, 
            Congressional employees, and visitors of enemy attack or 
            other major disaster conditions. There will be two signals:
                        1. Attack warning.--Notification to all 
                    occupants that the United States is under attack and 
                    that there is real danger of loss of life. This 
                    warning would be given by a sequence of two-second 
                    sounds of the legislative bells separated by two-
                    second silent intervals. This signal would be 
                    repeated for 3 to 5 minutes.
                        2. Attention signal.--Notification of peacetime 
                    disasters, such as accidental presence of 
                    radioactive materials or severe weather or natural 
                    disaster conditions. This signal would be given by a 
                    series of 16-second bell sounds separately by 16-
                    second silent intervals, repeated for 3 to 5 
                    minutes.

                            (Where lights exist they will correspond 
                            with rings.)

             RULES OF PROCEDURE AND PRACTICE IN THE SENATE WHEN SITTING 
                                ON IMPEACHMENT TRIALS

            ------------------------------------------------------------

               [Revised pursuant to S. Res. 479, 99-2, Aug. 16, 1986]

       170      I. Whensoever the Senate shall receive notice from the 
            House of Representatives that managers are appointed on 
            their part to conduct an impeachment against any person and 
            are directed to carry articles of impeachment to the Senate, 
            the Secretary of the Senate shall immediately inform the 
            House of Representatives that the Senate is ready to receive 
            the managers for the purpose of exhibiting such articles of 
            impeachment, agreeably to such notice.
       171      II. When the managers of an impeachment shall be 
            introduced at the bar of the Senate and shall signify that 
            they are ready to exhibit articles of impeachment against 
            any person, the Presiding Officer of the Senate shall direct 
            the Sergeant at Arms to make proclamation, who shall, after 
            making proclamation, repeat the following words, viz: ``All 
            persons are commanded to keep silence, on pain of 
            imprisonment, while the House of Representatives is 
            exhibiting to the Senate of the United States articles of 
            impeachment against ------ ------''; after which the 
            articles shall be exhibited, and then the Presiding Officer 
            of the Senate shall inform the managers that the Senate will 
            take proper order on the subject of the impeachment, of 
            which due notice shall be given to the House of 
            Representatives.
       172      III. Upon such articles being presented to the Senate, 
            the Senate shall, at 1 o'clock afternoon of the day (Sunday 
            excepted) following such presentation, or sooner if ordered 
            by the Senate, proceed to the consideration of such articles 
            and shall continue in session from day to day (Sundays 
            excepted) after the trial shall commence (unless otherwise 
            ordered by the Senate) until final judgment shall be 
            rendered, and so much longer as may, in its judgment, be 
            needful. Before proceeding to the consideration of the 
            articles of impeachment, the Presiding Officer shall 
            administer the oath hereinafter provided to the members of 
            the Senate then present and to the other members of the 
            Senate as they shall appear, whose duty it shall be to take 
            the same.
       173      IV. When the President of the United States or the Vice 
            President of the United States, upon whom the powers and 
            duties of the Office of President shall have devolved, shall 
            be impeached, the Chief Justice of the United States shall 
            preside; and in a case requiring the said Chief Justice to 
            preside notice shall be given to him by the Presiding 
            Officer of the Senate of the time and place fixed for the 
            consideration of the articles of impeachment, as aforesaid, 
            with a request to attend; and the said Chief Justice shall 
            be administered the oath by the Presiding Officer of the 
            Senate and shall presideover the Senate during the 
            consideration of said articles and upon the trial of the 
            person impeached therein.
       174      V. The Presiding Officer shall have power to make and 
            issue, by himself or by the Secretary of the Senate, all 
            orders, mandates, writs, and precepts authorized by these 
            rules or by the Senate, and to make and enforce such other 
            regulations and orders in the premises as the Senate may 
            authorize or provide.
       175      VI. The Senate shall have power to compel the attendance 
            of witnesses, to enforce obedience to its orders, mandates, 
            writs, precepts, and judgments, to preserve order, and to 
            punish in a summary way contempts of, and disobedience to, 
            its authority, orders, mandates, writs, precepts, or 
            judgments, and to make all lawful orders, rules, and 
            regulations which it may deem essential or conducive to the 
            ends of justice. And the Sergeant at Arms, under the 
            direction of the Senate, may employ such aid and assistance 
            as may be necessary to enforce, execute, and carry into 
            effect the lawful orders, mandates, writs, and precepts of 
            the Senate.
       176      VII. The Presiding Officer of the Senate shall direct 
            all necessary preparations in the Senate Chamber, and the 
            Presiding Officer on the trial shall direct all the forms of 
            proceedings while the Senate is sitting for the purpose of 
            trying an impeachment, and all forms during the trial not 
            otherwise specially provided for. And the Presiding Officer 
            on the trial may rule on all questions of evidence 
            including, but not limited to, questions of relevancy, 
            materiality, and redundancy of evidence and incidental 
            questions, which ruling shall stand as the judgment of the 
            Senate, unless some Member of the Senate shall ask that a 
            formal vote be taken thereon, in which case it shall be 
            submitted to the Senate for decision without debate; or he 
            may at his option, in the first instance, submit any such 
            question to a vote of the Members of the Senate. Upon all 
            such questions the vote shall be taken in accordance with 
            the Standing Rules of the Senate.
       177      VIII. Upon the presentation of articles of impeachment 
            and the organization of the Senate as hereinbefore provided, 
            a writ of summons shall issue to the person impeached, 
            reciting said articles, and notifying him to appear before 
            the Senate upon a day and at a place to be fixed by the 
            Senate and named in such writ, and file his answer to said 
            articles of impeachment, and to stand to and abide the 
            orders and judgments of the Senate thereon; which writ shall 
            be served by such officer or person as shall be named in the 
            precept thereof, such number of days prior to the day fixed 
            for such appearance as shall be named in such precept, 
            either by the delivery of an attested copy thereof to the 
            person impeached, or if that can not conveniently be done, 
            by leaving such copy at the last known place of abode of 
            such person, or at his usual place of business in some 
            conspicuous place therein; or if such service shall be, in 
            the judgment of the Senate, impracticable, notice to the 
            person impeached to appear shall be given in such other 
            manner, by publication or otherwise, as shall be deemed 
            just; and if the writ aforesaid shall fail of service in the 
            manner aforesaid, the proceedings shall not thereby abate, 
            but further service may be made in such manner as the Senate 
            shall direct. If the person impeached, after service, shall 
            fail to appear, either in person or by attorney, on the day 
            so fixed therefor as aforesaid, or, appearing, shall fail to 
            file his answer to such articles of impeachment, the trial 
            shall proceed, nevertheless, as upon a plea of not guilty. 
            If a plea of guilty shall be entered, judgment may be 
            entered thereon without further proceedings.
       178      IX. At 12:30 o'clock afternoon of the day appointed for 
            the return of the summons against the person impeached, the 
            legislative and executive business of the Senate shall be 
            suspended, and the Secretary of the Senate shall administer 
            an oath to the returning officer in the form following, viz: 
            ``I, ------ ------, do solemnly swear that the return made 
            by me upon the process issued on the ---- day of ------, by 
            the Senate of the United States, against ------ ------, is 
            truly made, and that I have performed such service as 
            therein described: So help me God.'' Which oath shall be 
            entered at large on the records.
       179      X. The person impeached shall then be called to appear 
            and answer the articles of impeachment against him. If he 
            appears, or any person for him, the appearance shall be 
            recorded, stating particularly if by himself, or by agent or 
            attorney, naming the person appearing and the capacity in 
            which he appears. If he does not appear, either personally 
            or by agent or attorney, the same shall be recorded.
       180      XI. That in the trial of any impeachment the Presiding 
            Officer of the Senate, if the Senate so orders, shall 
            appoint a committee of Senators to receive evidence and take 
            testimony at such times and places as the committee may 
            determine, and for such purpose the committee so appointed 
            and the chairman thereof, to be elected by the committee, 
            shall (unless otherwise ordered by the Senate) exercise all 
            the powers and functions conferred upon the Senate and the 
            Presiding Officer of the Senate, respectively, under the 
            rules of procedure and practice in the Senate when sitting 
            on impeachment trials.
                Unless otherwise ordered by the Senate, the rules of 
            procedure and practice in the Senate when sitting on 
            impeachment trials shall govern the procedure and practice 
            of the committee so appointed. The committee so appointed 
            shall report to the Senate in writing a certified copy of 
            the transcript of the proceedings and testimony had and 
            given before such committee, and such report shall be 
            received by the Senate and the evidence so received and the 
            testimony so taken shall be considered to all intents and 
            purposes, subject to the right of the Senate to determine 
            competency, relevancy, and materiality, as having been 
            received and taken before the Senate, but nothing herein 
            shall prevent the Senate from sending for any witness and 
            hearing his testimony in open Senate, or by order of the 
            Senate having the entire trial in open Senate.
       181      XII. At 12:30 o'clock afternoon, or at such other hour 
            as the Senate may order, of the day appointed for the trial 
            of an impeachment, the legislative and executive business of 
            the Senate shall be suspended, and the Secretary shall give 
            notice to the House of Representatives that the Senate is 
            ready to proceed upon the impeachment of ------ ------, in 
            the Senate Chamber.
       182      XIII. The hour of the day at which the Senate shall sit 
            upon the trial of an impeachment shall be (unless otherwise 
            ordered) 12 o'clock m.; and when the hour shall arrive, the 
            Presiding Officer upon such trial shall cause proclamation 
            to be made, and the business of the trial shall proceed. The 
            adjournment of the Senate sitting in said trial shall not 
            operate as an adjournment of the Senate; but on such 
            adjournment the Senate shall resume the consideration of its 
            legislative and executive business.
       183      XIV. The Secretary of the Senate shall record the 
            proceedings in cases of impeachment as in the case of 
            legislative proceedings, and the same shall be reported in 
            the same manner as the legislative proceedings of the 
            Senate.
       184      XV. Counsel for the parties shall be admitted to appear 
            and be heard upon an impeachment.
       185      XVI. All motions, objections, requests, or applications 
            whether relating to the procedure of the Senate or relating 
            immediately to the trial (including questions with respect 
            to admission of evidence or other questions arising during 
            the trial) made by the parties or their counsel shall be 
            addressed to the Presiding Officer only, and if he, or any 
            Senator, shall require it, they shall be committed to 
            writing, and read at the Secretary's table.
       186      XVII. Witnesses shall be examined by one person on 
            behalf of the party producing them, and then cross-examined 
            by one person on the other side.
       187      XVIII. If a Senator is called as a witness, he shall be 
            sworn, and give his testimony standing in his place.
       188      XIX. If a Senator wishes a question to be put to a 
            witness, or to a manager, or to counsel of the person 
            impeached, or to offer a motion or order (except a motion to 
            adjourn), it shall be reduced to writing, and put by the 
            Presiding Officer. The parties or their counsel may 
            interpose objections to witnesses answering questions 
            propounded at the request of any Senator and the merits of 
            any such objection may be argued by the parties or their 
            counsel. Ruling on any such objection shall be made as 
            provided in Rule VII. It shall not be in order for any 
            Senator to engage in colloquy.
       189      XX. At all times while the Senate is sitting upon the 
            trial of an impeachment the doors of the Senate shall be 
            kept open, unless the Senate shall direct the doors to be 
            closed while deliberating upon its decisions. A motion to 
            close the doors may be acted upon without objection, or, if 
            objection is heard, the motion shall be voted on without 
            debate by the yeas and nays, which shall be entered on the 
            record.
       190      XXI. All preliminary or interlocutory questions, and all 
            motions, shall be argued for not exceeding one hour (unless 
            the Senate otherwise orders) on each side.
       191      XXII. The case, on each side, shall be opened by one 
            person. The final argument on the merits may be made by two 
            persons on each side (unless otherwise ordered by the Senate 
            upon application for that purpose), and the argument shall 
            be opened and closed on the part of the House of 
            Representatives.
       192      XXIII. An article of impeachment shall not be divisible 
            for the purpose of voting thereon at any time during the 
            trial. Once voting has commenced on an article of 
            impeachment, voting shall be continued until voting has been 
            completed on all articles of impeachment unless the Senate 
            adjourns for a period not to exceed one day or adjourns sine 
            die. On the final question whether the impeachment is 
            sustained, the yeas and nays shall be taken on each article 
            of impeachment separately; and if the impeachment shall not, 
            upon any of the articles presented, be sustained by the 
            votes of two-thirds of the Members present, a judgment of 
            acquittal shall be entered; but if the person impeached 
            shall be convicted upon any such article by the votes of 
            two-thirds of the Members present, the Senate shall proceed 
            to the consideration of such other matters as may be 
            determined to be appropriate prior to pronouncing judgment. 
            Upon pronouncing judgment, a certified copy of such judgment 
            shall be deposited in the office of the Secretary of State. 
            A motion to reconsider the vote by which any article of 
            impeachment is sustained or rejected shall not be in order.

     192.1  Form of putting the question on each article of impeachment.

                The Presiding Officer shall first state the question; 
            thereafter each Senator, as his name is called, shall rise 
            in his place and answer: guilty or not guilty.
       193      XXIV. All the orders and decisions may be acted upon 
            without objection, or, if objection is heard, the orders and 
            decisions shall be voted on without debate by yeas and nays, 
            which shall be entered on the record, subject, however, to 
            the operation of Rule VII, except when the doors shall be 
            closed for deliberation, and in that case no member shall 
            speak more than once on one question, and for not more than 
            ten minutes on an interlocutory question, and for not more 
            than fifteen minutes on the final question, unless by 
            consent of the Senate, to be had without debate; but a 
            motion to adjourn may be decided without the yeas and nays, 
            unless they be demanded by one-fifth of the members present. 
            The fifteen minutes herein allowed shall be for the whole 
            deliberation on the final question, and not on the final 
            question on each article of impeachment.
       194      XXV. Witnesses shall be sworn in the following form, 
            viz: ``You, ------ ------, do swear (or affirm, as the case 
            may be) that the evidence you shall give in the case now 
            pending between the United States and ------ ------, shall 
            be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: So

                                     CONFERENCES

       200      1. Parliamentary law relating to conferences as stated 
            in Jefferson's Manual, Section XLVI:
     200.1      It is on the occasion of amendments between the Houses 
            that conferences are usually asked; but they may be asked in 
            all cases of difference of opinion between the two Houses on 
            matters depending between them. The request of a conference, 
            however, must always be by the House which is possessed of 
            the papers. (3 Hats., 31; 1 Grey, 425.)
     200.2      Conferences may either be simple or free. At a 
            conference simply,\2\ written reasons are prepared by the 
            House asking it, and they are read and delivered without 
            debate, to the managers of the other House at the 
            conference, but are not then to be answered. (4 Grey, 144.) 
            The other House then, if satisfied, vote the reasons 
            satisfactory, or say nothing; if not satisfied, they resolve 
            them not satisfactory and ask a conference on the subject of 
            the last conference, where they read and deliver, in like 
            manner, written answers to those reasons. (3 Grey, 183.) 
            They are meant chiefly to record the justification of each 
            House to the nation at large and to posterity, and in proof 
            that the miscarriage of a necessary measure is not imputable 
            to them. (3 Grey, 225.) At free conferences the managers 
            discuss, vivi voce 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                \2\So in original.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
            and freely, and interchange propositions for such 
            modifications as may be made in a parliamentary way, and may 
            bring the sense of the two Houses together. And each party 
            reports in writing to their respective Houses the substance 
            of what is said on both sides, and it is entered in their 
            journals. (9 Grey, 220; 3 Hats., 280.) This report can not 
            be amended or altered, as that of a committee may be. 
            (Journal Senate, May 24, 1796.)

     200.3      A conference may be asked before the House asking if it 
            has come to a resolution of disagreement, insisting or 
            adhering. (3 Hats., 269, 341.) In which case the papers are 
            not left with the other conferees, but are brought back to 
            be the foundation of the vote to be given. And this is the 
            most reasonable and respectful proceeding; for, as was urged 
            by the Lords on a particular occasion, ``it is held vain, 
            and below the wisdom of Parliament, to reason or argue 
            against fixed resolutions and upon terms of impossibility to 
            persuade.'' (3 Hats., 226.) So the Commons say, ``an 
            adherence is never delivered at a free conference, which 
            implies debate.'' (10 Grey, 137.) And on another occasion 
            the Lords made it an objection that the Commons had asked a 
            free conference after they had made resolutions of adhering. 
            It was then affirmed, however, on the part of the Commons, 
            that nothing was more parliamentary than to proceed with 
            free conferences after adhering (3 Hats., 369), and we do in 
            fact see instances of conference, or of free conference, 
            asked after the resolution of disagreeing (3 Hats., 251, 
            253, 260, 286, 291, 316, 349); of insisting (ib., 280, 296, 
            299, 319, 322, 355); of adhering (269, 270, 283, 300), and 
            even of a second or final adherence. (3 Hats., 270.) And in 
            all cases of conference asked after a vote of disagreement, 
            etc., the conferees of the House asking it are to leave the 
            papers with the conferees of the other; and in one case 
            where they refused to receive them they were left on the 
            table in the conference chamber. (Ib., 271, 317, 323, 354; 
            10 Grey, 146.)
     200.4      After a free conference the usage is to proceed with 
            free conferences, and not to return again to a conference. 
            (3 Hats., 270; 9 Grey, 229.)
     200.5      After a conference denied a free conference may be asked 
            (1 Grey, 45.)
     200.6      When a conference is asked the subject of it must be 
            expressed or the conference not agreed to. (Ord. H. Com., 
            89; 1 Grey, 425; 7 Grey, 31.) They are sometimes asked to 
            inquire concerning an offense or default of a member of the 
            other House. (6 Grey, 181; 1 Chand., 204.) Or the failure of 
            the other House to present to the King a bill passed by both 
            Houses. (8 Grey, 302.) Or on information received and 
            relating to the safety of the nation. (10 Grey, 171.) Or 
            when the methods of Parliament are thought by the one House 
            to have been departed from by the other a conference is 
            asked to come to a right understanding thereon. (10 Grey, 
            148.) So when an unparliamentary message has been sent, 
            instead of answering it, they ask a conference. (3 Grey, 
            155.) Formerly an address or articles of impeachment, or a 
            bill with amendments, or a vote of the House, or concurrence 
            in a vote, or a message from the King, were sometimes 
            communicated by way of conference. But this is not the 
            modern practice.  (1366.)

             [Senate Manual, 1902, p. 137; House Manual, 56th Cong., 2d 
                                                         sess., p. 207.]

                              CHARACTER OF CONFERENCES

       201      2. Conferences may either be simple or free.

                                        [Jefferson's Manual, Sec. XLVI.]

                Note.--This rule and the definition and description of 
            the two kinds of conferences are found in the foregoing 
            section. Vice President Hamlin, in ruling upon a question of 
            order in the Senate in the Thirty-eighth Congress, stated 
            the rule and the distinction between free and simple 
            conferences as follows:
                ``Conferences are of two characters, free and simple. A 
            free conference is that which leaves the committee of 
            conference entirely free to pass upon any subject where the 
            two branches have disagreed in their vote, not, however, 
            including any action upon any subject where there has been a 
            concurrent vote of both branches. A simple conference--
            perhaps it should more properly be termed a strict or a 
            specific conference, though the parliamentary term is 
            simple--is that which confines the committee of conference 
            to the specific instructions of the body appointing it.'' 
            (38th Cong., 1st sess., Congressional Globe, pt. I, p. 900.)
                Speaker Reed, in his Manual of General Parliamentary 
            Law, chapter XV, section 242, states that ``A free 
            conference is one where the conferees meet and present not 
            only the reasons of each House, but such arguments and 
            reasons and persuasions as seem suitable to each member of 
            the committee. Instead of being confined to reasons adopted 
            by either House, each member may present his own. A 
            conference may therefore be a free conference though each 
            House may have instructed its members and limited them to 
            the terms of the agreement. This method of conference is the 
            only one known to our parliamentary law; at least, it is the 
            only one now in practice. When two legislative bodies in 
            this country have a conference, it is a free conference * * 
            *''

                               REQUEST FOR CONFERENCE

       202      3. The request for a conference must always be made by 
            the House in possession of the papers.  (1366.)

                                        [Jefferson's Manual, Sec. XLVI.]

       203      4. The motion to ask for a conference comes properly 
            after the motion to disagree, insist, or adhere.  (1367.)
       204      5. A conference may be asked before there has been a 
            disagreement.  (1366.)

                    [48th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., pp. 628, 642-643; 
                                         Jefferson's Manual, Sec. XLVI.]

       205      6. After one House has adhered the other may recede or 
            ask a conference, which may be granted by the other House.  
            (1358-1361.)

            [23d Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., p. 112; S. Jour., vol. 2, 
            pp. 70, 71; S. Jour., vol. 5, pp. 657, 661; Jefferson's 
            Manual, Sec. XLVI.]

       206      7. The House may agree to a conference without 
            reconsidering its vote to adhere.  (1362.)
       207      8. Instances have occurred where one House has adhered 
            at once and has even refused a conference.  (1363.)

                Note.--In section XLV, Jefferson's Manual, it is stated 
            that ``Either House is free to pass over the term of 
            insisting, and to adhere in the first instance, but it is 
            not respectful to the other. In the ordinary parliamentary 
            course there are two free conferences, at least, before an 
            adherence.''

       208      9. Where one House has voted at once to adhere, the 
            other may insist and ask a conference; but the motion to 
            recede has precedence.  (1364.)
       209      10. One House may disagree to the amendment of the 
            other, leaving it for the latter House to ask for the 
            conference as soon as the vote of disagreement is passed. 
            (1368.)
       210      11. The amending House may insist at once upon its 
            amendments, and ask for a conference.  (1370-1371.)

                   [48th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., pp. 628, 642, 643; 
                                   Congressional Record, pp. 3974-4098.]

       211      12. The request of the other House for a conference may 
            be referred to a committee.

            [19th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., p. 302; 49th Cong., 1st 
            sess., H. Jour., pp. 2292, 2293; Congressional Record, p. 
            7332.]

       212      13. Where a conference committee is unable to agree, or 
            where a report is disagreed to, another conference is 
            usually asked for and agreed to.  (1384-1388.)
       213      14. Before the stage of disagreement has been reached, 
            the request of the other House for a conference gives the 
            bill no privilege over the other business of the House.  
            (1374, 1375.)
       214      15. The conference on a disagreement as to Senate 
            amendments to a House bill having failed, the Senate 
            reconsidered its action in amending and passing the bill, 
            passed it with a new amendment, and asked a new conference.

             [55th Cong., 3d sess., Congressional Record, pp. 317, 439, 
                                      628, 631, 2303, 2360, 2362, 2770.]

       215      16. The motion to insist and ask a conference has 
            precedence of the motion to instruct conferees.  (1376-
            1379.)

          
                                      CONFEREES

                              APPOINTMENT OF CONFEREES

       216      17. Statement of principles governing the selection of 
            conferees on the part of the House (1383), namely:

                Note.--These principles and provisions are also 
            applicable to the Senate and in harmony with its practice.
     216.1      The House members of conference committees, called the 
            managers on the part of the House, are appointed by the 
            Speaker.

                Note.--The Senate members of conference committees, 
            called the managers on the part of the Senate, are appointed 
            by the Presiding Officer, by unanimous consent, under the 
            custom of the Senate. Rule XXIV provides that chairman and 
            other members of committees of the Senate shall be appointed 
            by resolution unless otherwise ordered.
     216.2      They are usually three in number, but on important 
            measures the number is sometimes increased. In the selection 
            of the managers the two large political parties are usually 
            represented, and, also, care is taken that there shall be a 
            representation of the two opinions which almost always exist 
            on subjects of importance. Of course the majority party and 
            the prevailing opinion have the majority of the managers. * 
            * *
     216.3      It is also almost the invariable practice to select 
            managers from the members of the committee which considered 
            the bill. * * * But sometimes in order to give 
            representation to a strong or prevailing sentiment in the 
            House the Speaker goes outside the ranks of the committee. * 
            * *
     216.4      The managers of the two Houses while in conference vote 
            separately, the majority determining the attitude to be 
            taken toward the propositions of the other House. When the 
            report is made the signatures of a majority of each board of 
            managers are sufficient. The minority managers frequently 
            refrain from signing the report, and it is not unprecedented 
            for a minority manager to indorse his protest on the report.
       217      18. When conferees have disagreed or a conference report 
            has been rejected, the usual practice is to reappoint the 
            managers, although it seems to have been otherwise in former 
            years.  (1383.)
       218      19. Conferees having been appointed, it is too late to 
            reconsider the vote whereby the House has disagreed to a 
            Senate amendment.  (1205.)

          
                               DISCHARGE OF CONFEREES

       219      20. While a conference asked by the House was in 
            progress on the House's disagreement to Senate amendments, 
            by a special order the House discharged its conferees, 
            receded from its disagreement, and agreed to the amendments.  
            (1373.)

                Note.--Similar action was taken by the Senate under like 
            circumstances in the Forty-second Congress (42d Cong., 2d 
            sess., S. Jour., p. 1028).

                              INSTRUCTIONS TO CONFEREES

       220      21. It is in order to instruct conferees, and the 
            resolution of instruction should be offered after the House 
            has voted to insist and ask a conference and before the 
            conferees have been appointed.  (1376-1379.)

            [38th Cong., 2d sess., S. Jour., p. 268; 39th Cong., 1st 
            sess., S. Jour., p. 782, 784; 40th Cong., 2d sess., S. 
            Jour., p. 119.]

       221      22. It is not the practice to instruct conferees before 
            they have met and disagreed.  (1380.)
       222      23. It is not in order to give such instructions to 
            conferees as would require changes in the text to which both 
            Houses have agreed.  (1380.)
       223      24. The House having asked for a free conference, it is 
            not in order to instruct the conferees.  (1381.)
       224      25. The motion to instruct conferees is amendable.   
            (1390.)

            [40th Cong., 2d sess., S. Jour., p. 119.]

       225      26. A conference report may be received although it may 
            be in violation of instructions given to the conferees.  
            (1382.)
                  
                          CONFERENCE COMMITTEES AND REPORTS

                         AUTHORITY OF CONFERENCE COMMITTEES

       226      27. A conference committee is practically two distinct 
            committees, each of which acts by a majority.  (1401.)
       227      28. Conference reports must be signed by a majority of 
            the managers on the part of each House. They are made in 
            duplicate for the managers to present to their respective 
            Houses, the signatures of the managers of each House 
            appearing first on the report that is to be presented to the 
            House they represent.

                Note.--See form of conference report appended.
       228      29. Conferees may not include in their report matters 
            not committed to them by either House.  (1414-1417.)

            [50th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., pp. 1064, 1065; 54th 
            Cong., 2d sess., S. Jour., pp. 90, 91, 96.]

     228.1      In the House, in case such matter is included, the 
            conference report may be ruled out on a point of order.  
            (See Rule 50, below.)
     228.2      In the Senate, in case such matter is included, the 
            custom is to submit the question of order to the Senate.

                Note.--In the Fifty-fifth Congress, first session, Vice-
            President Hobart, in overruling a point of order made on 
            this ground against a conference report during its reading 
            in the Senate, stated that the report having been adopted by 
            one House and being now submitted for discussion and 
            decision in the form of concurrence or disagreement, it is 
            not in the province of the Chair during the progress of its 
            presentation to decide that matter has been inserted which 
            is new or not relevant, but that such questions should go 
            before the Senate when it comes to vote on the adoption or 
            rejection of the report. (55th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., 
            pp. 171, 172; Congressional Record, pp. 2780-2787.) See also 
            Congressional Record, p. 2827, 56th Cong., 2d sess., when 
            the Presiding Officer (Mr. Lodge in the Chair) referred with 
            approval to the foregoing decision of Vice-President Hobart, 
            and stated that when a point of order is made on a 
            conference report on the ground that new matter has been 
            inserted, the Chair should submit the question to the Senate 
            instead of deciding it himself, as has been the custom in 
            the House. No formal ruling was made in this case, however, 
            as the conference report, after debate, was, by unanimous 
            consent, rejected. (56th Cong., 2d sess., Congressional 
            Record, pp. 2826-2883.)
       229      30. Conferees may not strike out in conference anything 
            in a bill agreed to and passed by both Houses.  (1321.)

                                         [Jefferson's Manual, Sec. XLV.]

       230      31. Conferees may include in their report matters which 
            are germane modifications of subjects in disagreement 
            between the Houses and committed to the conference.  (1418-
            1419.)
       231      32. A disagreement to an amendment in the nature of a 
            substitute having been referred to conferees, it was held to 
            be in order for them to report a new bill on the same 
            subject.  (1420.)
       232      33. A conference committee may report agreement as to 
            some of the matters of difference, but inability to agree as 
            to others.  (1392.)

            [29th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., pp. 523-524.]

       233      34. In drafting a conference report care should be taken 
            in stating the action of the conferees on amendments to 
            observe the parliamentary rule that neither House can recede 
            from or insist on its own amendment with an amendment; and 
            in case pages and lines of the bill or amendments are 
            referred to in the report, the engrossed bill and amendments 
            only should be used.

          
                  PRESENTATION AND PRIVILEGE OF CONFERENCE REPORTS

       234      35. A conference report is made first to the House 
            agreeing to the conference.

                Note.--This rule seems to follow from the principle laid 
            down by Jefferson (Manual, Sec. XLVI), that ``in all cases 
            of conference asked after a vote of disagreement, etc., the 
            conferees of the House asking it are to leave the papers 
            with the conferees of the other,'' thus putting the agreeing 
            House in possession of the papers, and has been the usual 
            practice in Congress.

       235      36. Conference reports are in order in the Senate under 
            Rule XXVIII, as follows:
                The presentation of reports of committees of conference 
            shall always be in order, except when the Journal is being 
            read or a question of order or motion to adjourn is pending, 
            or while the Senate is dividing; and when received, the 
            question of proceeding to the consideration of the report, 
            if raised, shall be immediately put, and shall be determined 
            without debate.

                Note.--It has been held in the Senate that the 
            presentation of a conference report includes its reading, 
            unless by unanimous consent the reading is dispensed with 
            (54th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., p. 334; Congressional 
            Record, p. 5511).

       236      37. Conference reports are in order in the House under 
            Rule XXVIII, as follows:
                The presentation of reports of committees of conference 
            shall always be in order except when the journal is being 
            read, while the roll is being called, or the House is 
            dividing on any proposition. And there shall accompany any 
            such report a detailed statement sufficiently explicit to 
            inform the House what effect such amendments or propositions 
            shall have upon the measures to which they relate.

                Note.--Paragraph 4 of rule XXVIII of the Standing Rules 
            of the Senate requires a conference report to be accompanied 
            by an explanatory statement prepared jointly by the 
            conferees on the part of the House and the Senate. (See 
            Senate Manual Section 28.4.)

       237      38. A conference report may not be received by the House 
            if no statement accompanies it.  (1404-1405.)
       238      39. Whether or not the detailed statement accompanying a 
            conference report is sufficient to comply with the rule 
            (XXVIII) is a question for the House, and not for the 
            Speaker, to determine.  (1402-1403.)
       239      40. A conference report may be presented after a motion 
            to adjourn has been made or when a Member is occupying the 
            floor for debate, but the report need not be disposed of 
            before the motion to adjourn is put.  (1393-1395.)
       240      41. A conference report is in order pending a demand for 
            the previous question.

            [55th Cong., 3d sess., Congressional Record, p. 867.]

                Note.--In the Senate the previous question is not in 
            use.
       241      42. A conference report has been given precedence over a 
            question of privilege.  (1397.)
       242      43. A conference report may be presented during the time 
            set apart for a special order for the consideration of 
            another measure.  (1400.)
       243      44. A conference report may be presented after a vote by 
            tellers and pending the question on ordering the yeas and 
            nays.  (1399.)
       244      45. A conference report has precedence of the question 
            on the reference of a bill, even though the yeas and nays 
            have been ordered.  (1398.)
       245      46. The consideration of a conference report may be 
            interrupted by the arrival of the hour previously fixed for 
            a recess.  (1396.)
       246      47. The question on the adoption of a final conference 
            report has precedence of a motion to recede and concur in 
            amendments of the other House.

                  [55th Cong., 3d sess., Congressional Record, p. 2927.]

                  REJECTION OF CONFERENCE REPORTS, EFFECTS OF, ETC.

       247      48. A bill and amendments having been once sent to 
            conference, do not, upon the rejection of the conference 
            report, return to their former state so that the amendments 
            may be sent to the Committee of the Whole.  (1389.)
       248      49. The rejection of a conference report leaves the 
            matter in the position it occupied before the conference was 
            asked.  (1390.)
       249      50. When a conference report is ruled out on a point of 
            order in the House it is equivalent to a negative vote on 
            the report, and the Senate is informed by message that the 
            House has ``disagreed'' to the report.  (1417.)

          
                           AMENDMENT OF CONFERENCE REPORTS

       250      51. It is not in order to amend a conference report, and 
            it must be accepted or rejected as an entirety.  (1366.)

               [Jefferson's Manual, Sec. XLVI; 4th Cong., 1st sess., S. 
                                                         Jour., p. 270.]

                Note.--Various instances are found where conference 
            reports agreed to by both Houses were amended and corrected 
            by concurrent resolution or order. (43d Cong., 2d sess., S. 
            Jour., pp. 372, 373, H. Jour., p. 610; Congressional Record, 
            p. 1990; 44th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., pp. 581, 708, H. 
            Jour., pp. 1087, 1252; 48th Cong., 1st sess., S. Jour., p. 
            859.)

                  REFERENCE AND RECOMMITMENT OF CONFERENCE REPORTS

       251      52. A conference report may not be referred to a 
            standing committee.  (1413.)
       252      53. A conference report may not be referred to the 
            Committee of the Whole, although in the earlier history of 
            the House this was sometimes done.  (1410, 1411.)
       253      54. It is not in order in the House to recommit a 
            conference report to the committee of conference.  (1412.)

                Note.--This rule is founded upon the decision of Speaker 
            Carlisle (49th Cong., 2d sess., Congressional Record, p. 
            880), which has been affirmed by subsequent Speakers, but 
            prior to that time many instances had occurred of 
            recommitting conference reports to the committee of 
            conference.

       254      55. It is in order in the Senate to recommit a 
            conference report to the committee of conference, but not 
            with instructions, according to the later decisions.

            [42d Cong., 3d sess., S. Jour., pp. 313, 554-557; 43d Cong., 
            1st sess., S. Jour., p. 865; 44th Cong., 1st sess., S. 
            Jour., p. 211; 49th Cong., 2d sess., S. Jour., p. 151; 55th 
            Cong., 3d sess., Congressional Record, pp. 2823, 2842-3.]

                Note.--Inasmuch as concurrent action is necessary for 
            the recommittal of a conference report, the foregoing rule 
            of the House has necessitated a change in the practice, and 
            no effort has been made by the Senate in late years to 
            recommit a conference report. The purpose of a recommittal 
            can be attained, however, by a rejection of the report, when 
            another conference would be ordered, and in accordance with 
            usage the same conferees would be appointed.

                            TABLING OF CONFERENCE REPORTS

       255      56. The House has formally discarded the old practice of 
            allowing conference reports to be laid on the table.  (1407-
            1409.)

                Note.--The effect of the motion to lay on the table in 
            the House defeats the proposition. It is never taken up 
            again. Hence a conference report can not be laid on the 
            table; otherwise a conference report might be put beyond the 
            reach of either House. (Reed's Parliamentary Rules, Chap. 
            VIII, sec. 115.)
       256      57. The Senate practice allows conference reports to be 
            laid on the table.

                  [43d Cong., 2d sess., S. Jour., p. 433; Congressional 
                                                 Record, pp. 2205-2206.]

                Note.--The effect of the motion to lay on the table in 
            the Senate, unlike that in the House, is simply to suspend 
            the consideration of a question during the pleasure of the 
            Senate, which can be again taken up on motion.

                       Extracts from the United States Code\1\

                \1\Since some provisions of the most recently enacted 
            statutes may receive slightly different editorial treatment 
            in the codification process, and since a few stylistic 
            changes have been made in this Manual to achieve more 
            convenient adaptation to Senate needs, some pro forma 
            deviations from the exact format of the United States Code 
            may be noted.

       275  Sec. 101. Enacting clause.
                The enacting clause of all Acts of Congress shall be in 
            the following form: ``Be it enacted by the Senate and House 
            of Representatives of the United States of America in 
            Congress assembled.'' (July 30, 1947, c. 388, 61 Stat. 634.)
       276  Sec. 102. Resolving clause.
                The resolving clause of all joint resolutions shall be 
            in the following form: ``Resolved by the Senate and House of 
            Representatives of the United States of America in Congress 
            assembled.'' (July 30, 1947, c. 388, 61 Stat. 634.)
       277  Sec. 103. Enacting or resolving words after first section.
                No enacting or resolving words shall be used in any 
            section of an Act or resolution of Congress except in the 
            first. (July 30, 1947, c. 388, 61 Stat. 634.)
       278  Sec. 104. Numbering of sections; single proposition.
                Each section shall be numbered, and shall contain, as 
            nearly as may be, a single proposition of enactment. (July 
            30, 1947, c. 388, 61 Stat. 634.)
       279  Sec. 105. Title of appropriation Acts.
                The style and title of all Acts making appropriations 
            for the support of Government shall be as follows: ``An Act 
            making appropriations (here insert the object) for the year 
            ending September 30 (here insert the calendar year).'' (July 
            30, 1947, c. 388, 61 Stat. 634; July 12, 1974, Pub.L. 93-
            344, Title V, Sec. 506(a), 88 Stat. 322.)
       280  Sec. 106. Printing bills and joint resolutions.
                Every bill or joint resolution in each House of Congress 
            shall, when such bill or resolution passes either House, be 
            printed, and such printed copy shall be called the engrossed 
            bill or resolution as the case may be. Said engrossed bill 
            or resolution shall be signed by the Clerk of the House or 
            the Secretary of the Senate, and shall be sent to the other 
            House, and in that form shall be dealt with by that House 
            and its officers, and, if passed, returned signed by said 
            Clerk or Secretary. When such bill, or joint resolution 
            shall have passed both Houses, it shall be printed and shall 
            then be called the enrolled bill, or joint resolution, as 
            the case may be, and shall be signed by the presiding 
            officers of both Houses and sent to the President of the 
            United States. During the last six days of a session such 
            engrossing and enrolling of bills and joint resolutions may 
            be done otherwise than as above prescribed, upon the order 
            of Congress by concurrent resolution. (July 30, 1947, c. 
            388, 61 Stat. 634.)
       281  Sec. 106a. Promulgation of laws.
                Whenever a bill, order, resolution, or vote of the 
            Senate and House of Representatives, having been approved by 
            the President, or not having been returned by him with his 
            objections, becomes a law or takes effect, it shall 
            forthwith be received by the Archivist of the United States 
            from the President; and whenever a bill, order, resolution, 
            or vote is returned by the President with his objections, 
            and, on being reconsidered, is agreed to be passed, and is 
            approved by two-thirds of both Houses of Congress, and 
            thereby becomes a law or takes effect, it shall be received 
            by the Archivist of the United States from the President of 
            the Senate, or Speaker of the House of Representatives in 
            whichsoever House it shall last have been so approved, and 
            he shall carefully preserve the originals. (Added Oct. 31, 
            1951, c. 655, Sec. 2(b), 65 Stat. 710, and amended Oct. 19, 
            1984, Pub.L. 98-497, Title I, Sec. 107(d), 98 Stat. 2291.)
       282  Sec. 106b. Amendments to Constitution.
                Whenever official notice is received at the National 
            Archives and Records Administration that any amendment 
            proposed to the Constitution of the United States has been 
            adopted, according to the provisions of the Constitution, 
            the Archivist of the United States shall forthwith cause the 
            amendment to be published, with his certificate, specifying 
            the States by which the same may have been adopted, and that 
            the same has become valid, to all intents and purposes, as a 
            part of the Constitution of the United States. (Added Oct. 
            31, 1951, c. 655, Sec. 2(b), 65 Stat. 710, and amended Oct. 
            19, 1984, Pub.L. 98-497, Title I, Sec. 107(d), 98 Stat. 
            2291.)
       283  Sec. 107. Parchment or paper for printing enrolled bills or 
                resolutions.
                Enrolled bills and resolutions of either House of 
            Congress shall be printed on parchment or paper of suitable 
            quality as shall be determined by the Joint Committee on 
            Printing. (July 30, 1947, c. 388, 61 Stat. 635.)
       284  Sec. 108. Repeal of repealing act.
                Whenever an Act is repealed, which repealed a former 
            Act, such former Act shall not thereby be revived, unless it 
            shall be expressly so provided. (July 30, 1947, c. 388, 61 
            Stat. 635.)
       285  Sec. 109. Repeal of statutes as affecting existing 
                liabilities.
                The repeal of any statute shall not have the effect to 
            release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability 
            incurred under such statute, unless the repealing Act shall 
            so expressly provide, and such statute shall be treated as 
            still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any 
            proper action or prosecution for the enforcement of such 
            penalty, forfeiture, or liability. The expiration of a 
            temporary statute shall not have the effect to release or 
            extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred 
            under such statute, unless the temporary statute shall so 
            expressly provide, and, such statute shall be treated as 
            still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any 
            proper action or prosecution for the enforcement of such 
            penalty, forfeiture, or liability. (July 30, 1947, c. 388, 
            61 Stat. 635.)
       286  Sec. 110. Saving clause of Revised Statutes.
                All acts of limitation, whether applicable to civil 
            causes and proceedings, or to the prosecution of offenses, 
            or for the recovery of penalties or forfeitures, embraced in 
            the Revised Statutes and covered by the repeal contained 
            therein, shall not be affected thereby, but all suits, 
            proceedings, or prosecutions, whether civil or criminal, for 
            causes arising, or acts done or committed prior to said 
            repeal, may be commenced and prosecuted within the same time 
            as if said repeal had not been made. (July 30, 1947, c. 388, 
            61 Stat. 635.)
       287  Sec. 111. Repeals as evidence of prior effectiveness.
                No inference shall be raised by the enactment of the Act 
            of March 3, 1933 (ch. 202, 47 Stat. 1431), that the sections 
            of the Revised Statutes repealed by such Act were in force 
            or effect at the time of such enactment: Provided, however, 
            That any rights or liabilities existing under such repealed 
            sections shall not be affected by their repeal. (July 30, 
            1947, c. 388, 61 Stat. 635.)
       288  Sec. 112. Statutes at large; contents; admissibility in 
                evidence.
                The Archivist of the United States shall cause to be 
            compiled, edited, indexed, and published, the United States 
            Statutes at Large, which shall contain all the laws and 
            concurrent resolutions enacted during each regular session 
            of Congress; all proclamations by the President in the 
            numbered series issued since the date of the adjournment of 
            the regular session of Congress next preceding; and also any 
            amendments to the Constitution of the United States proposed 
            or ratified pursuant to article V thereof since that date, 
            together with the certificate of the Archivist of the United 
            States issued in compliance with the provision contained in 
            section 106b of this title. In the event of an extra session 
            of Congress, the Archivist of the United States shall cause 
            all the laws and concurrent resolutions enacted during said 
            extra session to be consolidated with, and published as part 
            of, the contents of the volume for the next regular session. 
            The United States Statutes at Large shall be legal evidence 
            of laws, concurrent resolutions, treaties, international 
            agreements other than treaties, proclamations by the 
            President, and proposed or ratified amendments to the 
            Constitution of the United States therein contained, in all 
            the courts of the United States, the several States, and the 
            Territories and insular possessions of the United States. 
            (July 30, 1947, ch. 388, 61 Stat. 636; Sept. 23, 1950, ch. 
            1001, Sec. 1, 64 Stat. 979; Oct. 31, 1951, ch. 655, Sec. 3,

            Sec. 107(d), 98 Stat. 2291.)
       289  Sec. 112b. United States international agreements; 
                transmission to Congress.
                (a) The Secretary of State shall transmit to the 
            Congress the text of any international agreement (including 
            the text of any oral international agreement, which 
            agreement shall be reduced to writing), other than a treaty, 
            to which the United States is a party as soon as practicable 
            after such agreement has entered into force with respect to 
            the United States but in no event later than sixty days 
            thereafter. However, any such agreement the immediate public 
            disclosure of which would, in the opinion of the President, 
            be prejudicial to the national security of the United States 
            shall not be so transmitted to the Congress but shall be 
            transmitted to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
            Senate and the Committee on International Relations of the 
            House of Representatives under an appropriate injunction of 
            secrecy to be removed only upon due notice from the 
            President. Any department or agency of the United States 
            Government which enters into any international agreement on 
            behalf of the United States shall transmit to the Department 
            of State the text of such agreement not later than twenty 
            days after such agreement has been signed.
                (b) Not later than March 1, 1979, and at yearly 
            intervals thereafter, the President shall, under his own

            Representatives and the chairman of the Committee on Foreign 
            Relations of the Senate a report with respect to each

                                   INVESTIGATIONS

       330  Sec. 190l. Private claims pending before Congress; taking of 
                testimony.
                Any committee of either House of Congress before which 
            any private claim against the United States may at any time 
            be pending, being first thereto authorized by the House 
            appointing them, may order testimony to be taken, and books 
            and papers to be examined, and copies thereof proved, before 
            any standing master in chancery within the judicial district 
            where such testimony or evidence is to be taken. Such master 
            in chancery, upon receiving a copy of the order of such 
            committee, signed by its chairman, setting forth the time 
            and place when and where such examination is to be had, the 
            questions to be investigated, and, so far as may be known to 
            the committee, the names of the witnesses to be examined on 
            the part of the United States, and the general nature of the 
            books, papers, and documents to be proved, if known, shall 
            proceed to give to such private parties reasonable notice of 
            the time and place of such examination, unless such notice 
            shall have been or shall be given by such committee or its 
            chairman, or by the attorney or agent of the United States, 
            or waived by such private party. And such master shall issue 
            subpoenas for such witnesses as may have been named in the 
            order of such committee, and such others as the agent or 
            other representative of the United States hereinafter 
            mentioned shall request. And he shall also issue subpoenas 
            at the request of such private party, or parties, for such 
            witnesses within such judicial district as they may desire: 
            Provided, That the United States shall not be liable for the 
            fees of any officer for serving any subpoena for any private 
            party, nor for the fees of any witness on behalf of such 
            party. Said committee may inform the United States attorney 
            for the district where the testimony is to be taken of the 
            time, place, and object of such examination, and request his 
            attendance in behalf of the Government in conducting such 
            examination, in which case it shall be his duty to attend in 
            person, or by an assistant employed by him, to conduct such 
            examination on the part of the United States, or such 
            committee may, at its option, appoint an agent or attorney, 
            or one of its own members, for that purpose, as they may 
            deem best; and in that event, if the committee shall not be 
            unanimous, the minority of the committee may also appoint 
            such agent or attorney or member of such committee to attend 
            and take part in such examination. (Feb. 3, 1879, c. 40, 
            Sec.  1, 20 Stat. 278; Mar. 3, 1911, c. 231, Sec.  291, 36 
            Stat. 1167; June 25, 1948, c. 646, Sec.  1, 62 Stat. 909.)
       331  Sec. 190m. Subpoena for taking testimony; compensation of 
                officers and witnesses; return of depositions.
                It shall be the duty of the marshal of the United States 
            for the district in which the testimony is to be taken to 
            serve, or cause to be served, all subpoenas issued in behalf 
            of the United States under this section and section 190l of 
            this title, in the same manner as if issued by the district 
            court for his district; and he shall, upon being first paid 
            his fees therefor, serve any subpoenas that may be issued at 
            the instance of such private party or parties. And the said 
            master may, in his discretion, appoint any other person to 
            serve any subpoena. Such master shall have full power to 
            administer oaths to witnesses, and the same power to issue 
            attachments to compel the attendance of witnesses and the 
            production of books, papers, and documents, as the district 
            court of his district would have in a case pending before 
            it; and it shall be his duty to report the conduct of 
            contumacious witnesses before him to the House of Congress 
            appointing such committee. The compensation of such master 
            in chancery, and the fees of marshals and deputy marshals, 
            and of any person appointed to serve papers, shall be the 
            same as for like services in equity cases in the district 
            court of the United States; and the compensation of 
            witnesses shall be the same as for like attendance and 
            travel of witnesses before such district courts; and all 
            such fees and compensation of officers and witnesses on 
            behalf of the United States, and other expenses of all 
            investigations which may be had under the provisions of this 
            section and section 190l of this title on the part of the 
            United States, shall be paid out of the contingent fund of 
            the Senate, in the case of a committee of the Senate, or the 
            applicable accounts of the House of Representatives, in the 
            case of a committee of the House of Representatives. Said 
            master, when the examination is concluded, shall attach 
            together all the depositions and exhibits, and attach 
            thereto his certificate setting forth or referring to the 
            authority by which they were taken, any notices he may have 
            given, the names of the witnesses for whom subpoenas or 
            attachments were issued, the names of witnesses who 
            attended, with the time of attendance and mileage and fees 
            of each witness on behalf of the United States, which he may 
            require to be shown by affidavit, his own fees, the fees of 
            the marshal, his deputies or other persons serving papers, 
            giving the items, and such other facts in relation to the 
            circumstances connected with the taking of the depositions 
            as he may deem material. He shall then seal up such 
            depositions and papers securely, direct them to the chairman 
            of such committee at Washington, stating briefly on the 
            outside the nature of the contents, and place the same in 
            the post office, paying the postage thereon; and said 
            package shall be opened only in the presence of such 
            committee. The chairman of any committee ordering testimony 
            to be taken under this section and section 190l of this 
            title shall, at least ten days before the time fixed for 
            such examination, and within two days after the adoption of 
            such order, cause a copy thereof to be directed and 
            delivered to the Attorney General of the United States, or 
            sent to him by mail at the Department of Justice, to enable 
            him to give such instructions as he may deem best to the 
            United States attorney of the district where such testimony 
            is to be taken, who may, and, if required by the Attorney 
            General, shall, though not requested by the committee, 
            appear for the United States in person or by assistant, and 
            take such part in such examination as the Attorney General 
            shall direct. (Feb. 3, 1879, c. 40, Sec.  2, 20 Stat. 279;

            the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either

            question pertinent to the subject under inquiry before

                            (5) the constitutional power of Congress to 
                        make all laws as shall be necessary and proper

                        powers of Congress and all other powers vested 
                        by the Constitution in the Government of the 
                        United States, or in any department or office 
                        thereof;

       362  Sec. 288i. Representation conflict or inconsistency.
            (a) Notification
                In the carrying out of the provisions of this chapter, 
            the Counsel shall notify the Joint Leadership Group, and any 
            party represented or person affected, of the existence and 
            nature of any conflict or inconsistency between the 
            representation of such party or person and the carrying out

            professional standards and responsibilities.
            (b) Solution; publication in Congressional Record; review
                Upon receipt of such notification, the members of the 
            Joint Leadership Group shall recommend the action to be 
            taken to avoid or resolve the conflict or inconsistency. If 
            such recommendation is made by a two-thirds vote, the 
            Counsel shall take such steps as may be necessary to resolve 
            the conflict or inconsistency as recommended. If not, the 
            members of the Joint Leadership Group shall cause the 
            notification of conflict or inconsistency and recommendation 
            with respect to resolution thereof to be published in the 
            Congressional Record of the Senate. If the Senate does not 
            direct the Counsel within fifteen days from the date of 
            publication in the Record to resolve the conflict in another 
            manner, the Counsel shall take such action as may be 
            necessary to resolve the conflict or inconsistency as 
            recommended. Any instruction or determination made pursuant 
            to this subsection shall not be reviewable in any court of 
            law.
            (c) Computation of period following publication
                For purposes of the computation of the fifteen-day 
            period in subsection (b) of this section--
                            (1) continuity of session is broken only by 
                        an adjournment of Congress sine die; and
                            (2) the days on which the Senate is not in 
                        session because of an adjournment of more than 
                        three days to a date certain are excluded.
            (d) Reimbursement
                The Senate may by resolution authorize the reimbursement 
            of any Member, officer, or employee of the Senate who is not 
            represented by the Counsel for fees and costs, including 
            attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred in obtaining 
            representation. Such reimbursement, shall be from funds 
            appropriated to the contingent fund of the Senate. (Pub.L.

                (1) A resolution introduced pursuant to section 288b of 
            this title shall not be referred to a committee, except as 
            otherwise required under section 288d(c) of this title. Upon 
            introduction, or upon being reported if required under 
            section 288d(c) of this title, whichever is later, it shall 
            at any time thereafter be in order (even though a previous 
            motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to 
            proceed to the consideration of such resolution. A motion to 
            proceed to the consideration of a resolution shall be highly 
            privileged and not debatable. An amendment to such motion 
            shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move 
            to reconsider the vote by which such motion is agreed to.
                (2) With respect to a resolution pursuant to section 
            288b(a) of this title, the following rules apply:
                            (A) If the motion to proceed to the 
                        consideration of the resolution is agreed to, 
                        debate thereon shall be limited to not more than 
                        ten hours, which shall be divided equally 
                        between, and controlled by, those favoring and 
                        those opposing the resolution. A motion further 
                        to limit debate shall not be debatable. No 
                        amendment to the resolution shall be in order. 
                        No motion to recommit the resolution shall be in 
                        order, and it shall not be in order to 
                        reconsider the vote by which the resolution is 
                        agreed to.
                            (B) Motions to postpone, made with respect 
                        to the consideration of the resolution, and 
                        motions to proceed to the consideration of other 
                        business, shall be decided without debate.
                            (C) All appeals from the decisions of the 
                        Chair relating to the application of the rules 
                        of the Senate to the procedure relating to the 
                        resolution shall be decided without debate.
            (b) ``Committee'' defined
                For purposes of this chapter, other than section 288b of 
            this title, the term ``committee'' includes standing, 
            select, and special committees of the Senate established by 
            law or resolution.
            (c) Rules of the Senate
                The provisions of this section are enacted--
                            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power 
                        of the Senate, and, as such, they shall be 
                        considered as part of the rules of the Senate, 
                        and such rules shall supersede any other rule of 
                        the Senate only to the extent that rule is 
                        inconsistent therewith; and
                            (2) with full recognition of the 
                        constitutional right of the Senate to change 
                        such rules at any time, in the same manner, and 
                        to the same extent as in the case of any other 
                        rule of the Senate. (Pub.L. 95-521, Title VII, 
                        Sec. 711, Oct. 26, 1978, 92 Stat. 1882.)
       364  Sec. 288k. Attorney General relieved of responsibility.
                (a) Upon receipt of written notice that the Counsel has 
            undertaken, pursuant to section 288c(a) of this title, to 
            perform any representational service with respect to any 
            designated party in any action or proceeding pending or to 
            be instituted, the Attorney General shall--
                            (1) be relieved of any responsibility with 
                        respect to such representational service;
                            (2) have no authority to perform such 
                        service in such action or proceeding except at 
                        the request or with the approval of the Senate; 
                        and
                            (3) transfer all materials relevant to the 
                        representation authorized under section 288c(a) 
                        of this title to the Counsel, except that 
                        nothing in this subsection shall limit any right 
                        of the Attorney General under existing law to 
                        intervene or appear as amicus curiae in such 
                        action or proceeding.
                (b) The Attorney General shall notify Counsel as

                Permission to intervene as a party or to appear as 
            amicus curiae under section 288e of this title shall be of 
            right and may be denied by a court only upon an express 
            finding that such intervention or appearance is untimely and 
            would significantly delay the pending action or that 
            standing to intervene has not been established under section 
            2 of article III of the Constitution of the United States.
            (b) Compliance with admission requirements

            State or political subdivision thereof without compliance 
            with any requirement for admission to practice before such 
            court, except that the authorization conferred by this 
            subsection shall not apply with respect to the admission of 
            any such person to practice before the United States Supreme 
            Court.
            (c) Standing to sue; jurisdiction
                Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to confer 
            standing on any party seeking to bring, or jurisdiction on 
            any court with respect to, any civil or criminal action 
            against Congress, either House of Congress, a Member of 
            Congress, a committee or subcommittee of a House of 
            Congress, any office or agency of Congress, or any officer 
            or employee of a House of Congress or any office or agency 
            of Congress. (Pub.L. 95-521, Title VII, Sec. 713, Oct. 26,

            and related expenses shall be subject to the same 
            regulations and limitations (insofar as they are applicable) 
            as those which the Senate Committee on Rules and 
            Administration prescribes for application to travel and 
            related expenses for which payment is authorized to be made 
            from the contingent fund of the Senate. (Pub.L. 98-51, Title

            section 358 of this title shall be considered approved under

            resolution approving such recommendations in their entirety. 
            This bill or joint resolution shall be passed by recorded 
            vote to reflect the vote of each Member of Congress thereon.
                (B)(i) The provisions of this subparagraph are enacted 
            by the Congress--
                            (I) as an exercise of the rulemaking power 
                        of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
                        and as such shall be considered as part of the 
                        rules of each House, and shall supersede other 
                        rules only to the extent that they are 
                        inconsistent therewith; and
                            (II) with full recognition of the 
                        constitutional right of either House to change 
                        the rules (so far as they relate to the 
                        procedures of that House) at any time in the 
                        same manner, and to the same extent as in the 
                        case of any other rule of that House.
                (ii) During the 60-calendar-day period beginning on the 
            date that the President transmits his recommendations to the 
            Congress under section 358 of this title, it shall be in 
            order as a matter of highest privilege in each House of 
            Congress to consider a bill or joint resolution, if offered 
            by the majority leader of such House (or a designee), 
            approving such recommendations in their entirety.
                (3) Except as provided in paragraph (4), any recommended 
            pay adjustment approved under paragraph (2) shall take 
            effect as of the date proposed by the President under 
            section 358 of this title with respect to such adjustment.
                (4)(A) Notwithstanding the approval of the President's 
            pay recommendations in accordance with paragraph (2), none 
            of those recommendations shall take effect unless, between 
            the date on which the bill or resolution approving those 
            recommendations is signed by the President (or otherwise 
            becomes law) and the earliest date as of which the President 
            proposes (under section 358 of this title) that any of those 
            recommendations take effect, an election of Representatives 
            shall have intervened.
                (B) For purposes of this paragraph, the term ``election 
            of Representatives'' means an election held on the Tuesday 
            following the first Monday of November in any even-numbered 
            calendar year. (Pub.L. 90-206, Sec. 225(i), Dec. 16, 1967,

            provided in subsection 359 of this title shall be held and 
            considered to modify, supersede, or render inapplicable, as

                        political party as a principal campaign 
                        committee, but only if that national committee 
                        maintains separate books of account with respect

            paragraph (2) or (4) is required to be filed within 10 days 
            of a report required under this subsection. The Commission 
            shall establish the reporting dates within 5 days of the

                        computers if the person has, or has reason to 
                        expect to have, aggregate contributions or 
                        expenditures in excess of a threshold amount

                            (ii) may maintain and file a designation, 
                        statement, or report in electronic form or an

                        circumstances and conditions under which such

                        the purpose of furthering an independent 
                        expenditure.
                (3) The Commission shall be responsible for 
            expeditiously preparing indices which set forth, on a

                            (D) The elections to which the 
                        electioneering communications pertain and the

                        States citizens or nationals or lawfully

                        preceding calendar year and ending on the 
                        disclosure date. Nothing in this subparagraph is 
                        to be construed as a prohibition on the use of 
                        funds in such a segregated account for a purpose 
                        other than electioneering communications.

                        during the period beginning on the first day of 
                        the preceding calendar year and ending on the 
                        disclosure date.
                (3) Electioneering communication.--For purposes of this 
            subsection--
                            (A) In general.--(i) The term 
                        ``electioneering communication'' means any 
                        broadcast, cable, or satellite communication 
                        which--

                                (I) refers to a clearly identified 
                            candidate for Federal office;

                                (II) is made within--

                                  (aa) 60 days before a general, 
                            special, or runoff election for the office 
                            sought by the candidate; or

                                  (bb) 30 days before a primary or 
                            preference election, or a convention or 
                            caucus of a political party that has 
                            authority to nominate a candidate, for the 
                            office sought by the candidate; and

                                (III) in the case of a communication 
                            which refers to a candidate for an office 
                            other than President or Vice President, is 
                            targeted to the relevant electorate.

                            (ii) If clause (i) is held to be 
                        constitutionally insufficient by final judicial 
                        decision to support the regulation provided 
                        herein, then the term ``electioneering 
                        communication'' means any broadcast, cable, or 
                        satellite communication which promotes or 
                        supports a candidate for that office, or attacks 
                        or opposes a candidate for that office 
                        (regardless of whether the communication 
                        expressly advocates a vote for or against a 
                        candidate) and which also is suggestive of no 
                        plausible meaning other than an exhortation to 
                        vote for or against a specific candidate. 
                        Nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed 
                        to affect the interpretation or application of 
                        section 100.22(b) of title 11, Code of Federal 
                        Regulations.
                            (B) Exceptions.--The term ``electioneering 
                        communication'' does not include--
                            (i) a communication appearing in a news 
                        story, commentary, or editorial distributed 
                        through the facilities of any broadcasting 
                        station, unless such facilities are owned or 
                        controlled by any political party, political 
                        committee, or candidate;
                            (ii) a communication which constitutes an 
                        expenditure or an independent expenditure under 
                        this Act;
                            (iii) a communication which constitutes a 
                        candidate debate or forum conducted pursuant to 
                        regulations adopted by the Commission, or which 
                        solely promotes such a debate or forum and is 
                        made by or on behalf of the person sponsoring 
                        the debate or forum; or
                            (iv) any other communication exempted under 
                        such regulations as the Commission may 
                        promulgate (consistent with the requirements of 
                        this paragraph) to ensure the appropriate 
                        implementation of this paragraph, except that 
                        under any such regulation a communication may 
                        not be exempted if it meets the requirements of 
                        this paragraph and is described in section 
                        431(20)(A)(iii).
                            (C) Targeting to relevant electorate.--For 
                        purposes of this paragraph, a communication 
                        which refers to a clearly identified candidate 
                        for Federal office is ``targeted to the relevant 
                        electorate'' if the communication can be 
                        received by 50,000 or more persons--
                            (i) in the district the candidate seeks to 
                        represent, in the case of a candidate for 
                        Representative in, or Delegate or Resident 
                        Commissioner to, the Congress; or
                            (ii) in the State the candidate seeks to 
                        represent, in the case of a candidate for

                (4) Disclosure date.--For purposes of this subsection, 
            the term ``disclosure date'' means--
                            (A) the first date during any calendar year 
                        by which a person has made disbursements for the

                        excess of $10,000; and
                            (B) any other date during such calendar year 
                        by which a person has made disbursements for the

                        electioneering communications aggregating in 
                        excess of $10,000 since the most recent 
                        disclosure date for such calendar year.
                (5) Contracts to disburse.--For purposes of this 
            subsection, a person shall be treated as having made a

            avail itself of the assistance, including personnel and

            other assistance, with or without reimbursement, as the 
            Commission may request.

            on a temporary basis as may be necessary for such purpose, 
            without regard to the provisions of Title 5, governing

            compensation it may fix without regard to the provisions of 
            chapter 51 and subchapter III of chapter 53 of such title. 
            The compensation of counsel so appointed on a temporary

            pay the compensation of employees of the Commission. (Pub.L.

                (2) Whenever the Commission submits any legislative 
            recommendation, or testimony, or comments on legislation, 
            requested by the Congress, or by any Member of the Congress, 
            to the President or the Office of Management and Budget, it 
            shall concurrently transmit a copy thereof to the Congress 
            or to the Member requesting the same. No officer or agency 
            of the United States shall have any authority to require the 
            Commission to submit its legislative recommendations, 
            testimony, or comments on legislation, to any office or 
            agency of the United States for approval, comments, or 
            review, prior to the submission of such recommendations, 
            testimony, or comments to the Congress.
            (e) Exclusive civil remedy for enforcement
                Except as provided in section 437g(a)(8) of this title, 
            the power of the Commission to initiate civil actions under 
            subsection (a)(6) of this section shall be the exclusive 
            civil remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of this 
            Act. (Pub.L. 92-225, Title III, Sec. 307, formerly Sec. 311,

            (a) Requests by persons, candidates, or authorized 
                committees; subject matter, time for response
                (1) Not later than 60 days after the Commission receives 
            from a person a complete written request concerning the 
            application of this Act, chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 
            26, or a rule or regulation prescribed by the Commission, 
            with respect to a specific transaction or activity by the 
            person, the Commission shall render a written advisory 
            opinion relating to such transaction or activity to the 
            person.
                (2) If an advisory opinion is requested by a candidate, 
            or any authorized committee of such candidate, during the 
            60-day period before any election for Federal office 
            involving the requesting party, the Commission shall render 
            a written advisory opinion relating to such request no later 
            than 20 days after the Commission receives a complete 
            written request.
            (b) Procedures applicable to initial proposal of rules or 
                regulations, and advisory opinions
                Any rule of law which is not stated in this Act or in 
            chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 26 may be initially 
            proposed by the Commission only as a rule or regulation 
            pursuant to procedures established in section 438(d) of this 
            title. No opinion of an advisory nature may be issued by the 
            Commission or any of its employees except in accordance with 
            the provisions of this section.
            (c) Persons entitled to rely upon opinions; scope of 
                protection for good faith reliance
                (1) Any advisory opinion rendered by the Commission 
            under subsection (a) may be relied upon by--
                            (A) any person involved in the specific 
                        transaction or activity with respect to which 
                        such advisory opinion is rendered; and
                            (B) any person involved in any specific 
                        transaction or activity which is 
                        indistinguishable in all its material aspects 
                        from the transaction or activity with respect to 
                        which such advisory opinion is rendered.
                (2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, any 
            person who relies upon any provision or finding of an 
            advisory opinion in accordance with the provisions of 
            paragraph (1) and who acts in good faith in accordance with 
            the provisions and findings of such advisory opinion shall 
            not, as a result of any such act, be subject to any sanction 
            provided by this Act or by chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 
            26.
            (d) Requests made public; submission of written comments by 
                interested public
                The Commission shall make public any request made under 
            subsection (a) for an advisory opinion. Before rendering an 
            advisory opinion, the Commission shall accept written 
            comments submitted by any interested party within the 10-day 
            period following the date the request is made public.

       396  Sec. 437g. Enforcement.
            (a) Administrative and judicial practice and procedure
                (1) Any person who believes a violation of this Act or 
            of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 26 has occurred, may 
            file a complaint with the Commission. Such complaint shall 
            be in writing, signed and sworn to by the person filing such 
            complaint, shall be notarized, and shall be made under 
            penalty of perjury and subject to the provisions of section 
            1001 of Title 18. Within 5 days after receipt of a 
            complaint, the Commission shall notify, in writing, any 
            person alleged in the complaint to have committed such a 
            violation. Before the Commission conducts any vote on the 
            complaint, other than a vote to dismiss, any person so 
            notified shall have the opportunity to demonstrate, in 
            writing, to the Commission within 15 days after notification 
            that no action should be taken against such person on the 
            basis of the complaint. The Commission may not conduct any 
            investigation or take any other action under this section 
            solely on the basis of a complaint of a person whose 
            identity is not disclosed to the Commission.
                (2) If the Commission, upon receiving a complaint under 
            paragraph (1) or on the basis of information ascertained in 
            the normal course of carrying out its supervisory 
            responsibilities, determines, by an affirmative vote of 4 of 
            its members, that it has reason to believe that a person has 
            committed, or is about to commit, a violation of this Act or 
            chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 26, the Commission shall, 
            through its chairman or vice chairman, notify the person of 
            the alleged violation. Such notification shall set forth the 
            factual basis for such alleged violation. The Commission 
            shall make an investigation of such alleged violation, which 
            may include a field investigation or audit, in accordance 
            with the provisions of this section.
                (3) The general counsel of the Commission shall notify 
            the respondent of any recommendation to the Commission by 
            the general counsel to proceed to a vote on probable cause 
            pursuant to paragraph (4)(A)(i). With such notification, the 
            general counsel shall include a brief stating the position 
            of the general counsel on the legal and factual issues of 
            the case. Within 15 days of receipt of such brief, 
            respondent may submit a brief stating the position of such 
            respondent on the legal and factual issues of the case, and 
            replying to the brief of general counsel. Such briefs shall 
            be filed with the Secretary of the Commission and shall be 
            considered by the Commission before proceeding under 
            paragraph (4).
                (4)(A)(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) and 
            subparagraph (C), if the Commission determines, by an 
            affirmative vote of 4 of its members, that there is probable 
            cause to believe that any person has committed, or is about 
            to commit, a violation of this Act or of chapter 95 or 
            chapter 96 of Title 26, the Commission shall attempt, for a 
            period of at least 30 days, to correct or prevent such 
            violation by informal methods of conference, conciliation, 
            and persuasion, and to enter into a conciliation agreement 
            with any person involved. Such attempt by the Commission to 
            correct or prevent such violation may continue for a period 
            of not more than 90 days. The Commission may not enter into 
            a conciliation agreement under this clause except pursuant 
            to an affirmative vote of 4 of its members. A conciliation 
            agreement, unless violated, is a complete bar to any further 
            action by the Commission, including the bringing of a civil 
            proceeding under paragraph (6)(A).
                (ii) If any determination of the Commission under clause 
            (i) occurs during the 45-day period immediately preceding 
            any election, then the Commission shall attempt, for a 
            period of at least 15 days, to correct or prevent the 
            violation involved by the methods specified in clause (i).
                (B)(i) No action by the Commission or any person, and no 
            information derived, in connection with any conciliation 
            attempt by the Commission under subparagraph (A) may be made 
            public by the Commission without the written consent of the 
            respondent and the Commission.
                (ii) If a conciliation agreement is agreed upon by the 
            Commission and the respondent, the Commission shall make 
            public any conciliation agreement signed by both the 
            Commission and the respondent. If the Commission makes a 
            determination that a person has not violated this Act or 
            chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 26, the Commission shall 
            make public such determination.
                (C)(i) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), in the case of 
            a violation of any requirement of section 434(a) of this 
            title, the Commission may--
                            (I) find that a person committed such a 
                        violation on the basis of information obtained 
                        pursuant to the procedures described in 
                        paragraphs (1) and (2); and
                            (II) based on such finding, require the 
                        person to pay a civil money penalty in an amount 
                        determined under a schedule of penalties which 
                        is established and published by the Commission 
                        and which takes into account the amount of the 
                        violation involved, the existence of previous 
                        violations by the person, and such other factors 
                        as the Commission considers appropriate.
                (ii) The Commission may not make any determination 
            adverse to a person under clause (i) until the person has 
            been given written notice and an opportunity to be heard 
            before the Commission.
                (iii) Any person against whom an adverse determination 
            is made under this subparagraph may obtain a review of such 
            determination in the district court of the United States for 
            the district in which the person resides, or transacts 
            business, by filing in such court (prior to the expiration 
            of the 30-day period which begins on the date the person 
            receives notification of the determination) a written 
            petition requesting that the determination be modified or 
            set aside.
                (5)(A) If the Commission believes that a violation of 
            this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 26 has been 
            committed, a conciliation agreement entered into by the 
            Commission under paragraph (4)(A) may include a requirement 
            that the person involved in such conciliation agreement 
            shall pay a civil penalty which does not exceed the greater 
            of $5,000 or an amount equal to any contribution or 
            expenditure involved in such violation.
                (B) If the Commission believes that a knowing and 
            willful violation of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 
            of Title 26 has been committed, a conciliation agreement 
            entered into by the Commission under paragraph (4)(A) may 
            require that the person involved in such conciliation 
            agreement shall pay a civil penalty which does not exceed 
            the greater of $10,000 or an amount equal to 200 percent of 
            any contribution or expenditure involved in such violation 
            (or, in the case of a violation of section 320, which is not 
            less than 300 percent of the amount involved in the 
            violation and is not more than the greater of $50,000 or 
            1,000 percent of the amount involved in the violation).
                (C) If the Commission by an affirmative vote of 4 of its 
            members, determines that there is probable cause to believe 
            that a knowing and willful violation of this Act which is 
            subject to subsection (d) of this section, or a knowing and 
            willful violation of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 26, 
            has occurred or is about to occur, it may refer such 
            apparent violation to the Attorney General of the United 
            States without regard to any limitations set forth in 
            paragraph (4)(A).
                (D) In any case in which a person has entered into a 
            conciliation agreement with the Commission under paragraph 
            (4)(A), the Commission may institute a civil action for 
            relief under paragraph (6)(A) if it believes that the person 
            has violated any provision of such conciliation agreement. 
            For the Commission to obtain relief in any civil action, the 
            Commission need only establish that the person has violated, 
            in whole or in part, any requirement of such conciliation 
            agreement.
                (6)(A) If the Commission is unable to correct or prevent 
            any violation of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of 
            Title 26, by the methods specified in paragraph (4), the 
            Commission may, upon an affirmative vote of 4 of its 
            members, institute a civil action for relief, including a 
            permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or any 
            other appropriate order (including an order for a civil 
            penalty which does not exceed the greater of $5,000 or an 
            amount equal to any contribution or expenditure involved in 
            such violation) in the district court of the United States 
            for the district in which the person against whom such 
            action is brought is found, resides, or transacts business.
                (B) In any civil action instituted by the Commission 
            under subparagraph (A), the court may grant a permanent or 
            temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order, 
            including a civil penalty which does not exceed the greater 
            of $5,000 or an amount equal to any contribution or 
            expenditure involved in such violation, upon a proper 
            showing that the person involved has committed, or is about 
            to commit (if the relief sought is a permanent or temporary 
            injunction or a restraining order), a violation of this Act 
            or chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 26.
                (C) In any civil action for relief instituted by the 
            Commission under subparagraph (A), if the court determines 
            that the Commission has established that the person involved 
            in such civil action has committed a knowing and willful 
            violation of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of 
            Title 26, the court may impose a civil penalty which does 
            not exceed the greater of $10,000 or an amount equal to 200 
            percent of any contribution or expenditure involved in such 
            violation (or, in the case of a violation of section 320, 
            which is not less than 300 percent of the amount involved in 
            the violation and is not more than the greater of $50,000 or 
            1,000 percent of the amount involved in the violation).
                (7) In any action brought under paragraph (5) or (6), 
            subpoenas for witnesses who are required to attend a United 
            States district court may run into any other district.
                (8)(A) Any party aggrieved by an order of the Commission 
            dismissing a complaint filed by such party under paragraph 
            (1), or by a failure of the Commission to act on such 
            complaint during the 120-day period beginning on the date 
            the complaint is filed, may file a petition with the United 
            States District Court for the District of Columbia.
                (B) Any petition under subparagraph (A) shall be filed, 
            in the case of a dismissal of a complaint by the Commission, 
            within 60 days after the date of the dismissal.
                (C) In any proceeding under this paragraph the court may 
            declare that the dismissal of the complaint or the failure 
            to act is contrary to law, and may direct the Commission to 
            conform with such declaration within 30 days, failing which 
            the complainant may bring, in the name of such complainant, 
            a civil action to remedy the violation involved in the 
            original complaint.
                (9) Any judgment of a district court under this 
            subsection may be appealed to the court of appeals, and the 
            judgment of the court of appeals affirming or setting aside, 
            in whole or in part, any such order of the district court 
            shall be final, subject to review by the Supreme Court of

            1984, 98 Stat. 3357)
                (11) If the Commission determines after an investigation 
            that any person has violated an order of the court entered 
            in a proceeding brought under paragraph (6), it may petition 
            the court for an order to hold such person in civil 
            contempt, but if it believes the violation to be knowing and 
            willful it may petition the court for an order to hold such 
            person in criminal contempt.
                (12)(A) Any notification or investigation made under 
            this section shall not be made public by the Commission or 
            by any person without the written consent of the person 
            receiving such notification or the person with respect to 
            whom such investigation is made.
                (B) Any member or employee of the Commission, or any 
            other person, who violates the provisions of subparagraph 
            (A) shall be fined not more than $2,000. Any such member, 
            employee, or other person who knowingly and willfully 
            violates the provisions of subparagraph (A) shall be fined 
            not more than $5,000.
            (b) Notice to persons not filing required reports prior to 
                institution of enforcement action; publication of 
                identity of persons and unfiled reports
                Before taking any action under subsection (a) against 
            any person who has failed to file a report required under 
            section 434(a)(2)(A)(iii) of this title for the calendar 
            quarter immediately preceding the election involved, or in 
            accordance with section 434(a)(2)(A)(i) of this title, the 
            Commission shall notify the person of such failure to file 
            the required reports. If a satisfactory response is not 
            received within 4 business days after the date of 
            notification, the Commission shall, pursuant to section 
            438(a)(7) of this title, publish before the election the 
            name of the person and the report or reports such person has 
            failed to file.
            (c) Reports by Attorney General of apparent violations
                Whenever the Commission refers an apparent violation to 
            the Attorney General, the Attorney General shall report to 
            the Commission any action taken by the Attorney General 
            regarding the apparent violation. Each report shall be 
            transmitted within 60 days after the date the Commission 
            refers an apparent violation, and every 30 days thereafter 
            until the final disposition of the apparent violation.
            (d) Penalties; defenses; mitigation of offenses
                (1)(A) Any person who knowingly and willfully commits a 
            violation of any provision of this Act which involves the 
            making, receiving, or reporting of any contribution, 
            donation, or expenditure--
                            (i) aggregating $25,000 or more during a 
                        calendar year shall be fined under Title 18, 
                        United States Code, or imprisoned for not more 
                        than 5 years, or both; or
                            (ii) aggregating $2,000 or more (but less 
                        than $25,000) during a calendar year shall be 
                        fined under such title, or imprisoned for not 
                        more than 1 year, or both.
                (B) In the case of a knowing and willful violation of 
            section 441b(b)(3) of this title, the penalties set forth in 
            this subsection shall apply to a violation involving an 
            amount aggregating $250 or more during a calendar year. Such 
            violation of section 441b(b)(3) of this title may 
            incorporate a violation of section 441c(b), 441f, or 441g of 
            this title.
                (C) In the case of a knowing and willful violation of 
            section 441h of this title, the penalties set forth in this 
            subsection shall apply without regard to whether the making, 
            receiving, or reporting of a contribution or expenditure of 
            $1,000 or more is involved.
                (2) In any criminal action brought for a violation of 
            any provision of this Act or of chapter 95 or of chapter 96 
            of Title 26, any defendant may evidence their lack of 
            knowledge or intent to commit the alleged violation by 
            introducing as evidence a conciliation agreement entered 
            into between the defendant and the Commission under 
            subsection (a)(4)(A) of this section which specifically 
            deals with the act or failure to act constituting such 
            violation and which is still in effect.
                (3) In any criminal action brought for a violation of 
            any provision of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of 
            Title 26, the court before which such action is brought 
            shall take into account, in weighing the seriousness of the 
            violation and in considering the appropriateness of the 
            penalty to be imposed if the defendant is found guilty, 
            whether--
                            (A) the specific act or failure to act which 
                        constitutes the violation for which the action 
                        was brought is the subject of a conciliation 
                        agreement entered into between the defendant and 
                        the Commission under subparagraph (a)(4)(A);
                            (B) the conciliation agreement is in effect; 
                        and
                            (C) the defendant is, with respect to the 
                        violation involved, in compliance with the 
                        conciliation agreement.

                The Commission, the national committee of any political 
            party, or any individual eligible to vote in any election 
            for the office of President may institute such actions in 
            the appropriate district court of the United States, 
            including actions for declaratory judgment, as may be 
            appropriate to construe the constitutionality of any 
            provision of this Act. The district court immediately shall 
            certify all questions of constitutionality of this Act to 
            the United States court of appeals for the circuit involved, 
            which shall hear the matter sitting en banc. (Pub.L. 92-225,

            (a) Duties of Commission
                The Commission shall--
                            (1) prescribe forms necessary to implement 
                        this Act;
                            (2) prepare, publish, and furnish to all 
                        persons required to file reports and statements 
                        under this Act a manual recommending uniform 
                        methods of bookkeeping and reporting;
                            (3) develop a filing, coding, and cross-
                        indexing system consistent with the purposes of 
                        this Act;
                            (4) within 48 hours after the time of the 
                        receipt by the Commission of reports and 
                        statements filed with it, make them available 
                        for public inspection, and copying, at the 
                        expense of the person requesting such copying 
                        except that any information copied from such 
                        reports or statements may not be sold or used by 
                        any person for the purpose of soliciting 
                        contributions or for commercial purposes, other 
                        than using the name and address of any political 
                        committee to solicit contributions from such 
                        committee. A political committee may submit 10 
                        pseudonyms on each report filed in order to 
                        protect against the illegal use of names and 
                        addresses of contributors, provided such 
                        committee attaches a list of such pseudonyms to 
                        the appropriate report. The Secretary or the 
                        Commission shall exclude these lists from the 
                        public record;
                            (5) keep such designations, reports, and 
                        statements for a period of 10 years from the 
                        date of receipt, except that designations, 
                        reports, and statements that relate solely to 
                        candidates for the House of Representatives 
                        shall be kept for 5 years from the date of their 
                        receipt;
                            (6)(A) compile and maintain a cumulative 
                        index of designations, reports, and statements 
                        filed under this Act, which index shall be 
                        published at regular intervals and made 
                        available for purchase directly or by mail;
                            (B) compile, maintain, and revise a separate 
                        cumulative index of reports and statements filed 
                        by multi-candidate committees, including in such 
                        index a list of multi-candidate committees; and
                            (C) compile and maintain a list of multi-
                        candidate committees, which shall be revised and 
                        made available monthly;
                            (7) prepare and publish periodically lists 
                        of authorized committees which fail to file 
                        reports as required by this Act;
                            (8) prescribe rules, regulations, and forms 
                        to carry out the provisions of this Act, in 
                        accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) 
                        of this section; and
                            (9) transmit to the President and to each 
                        House of the Congress no later than June 1 of 
                        each year, a report which states in detail the 
                        activities of the Commission in carrying out its 
                        duties under this Act, and any recommendations 
                        for any legislative or other action the 
                        Commission considers appropriate.
            (b) Audits and field investigations
                The Commission may conduct audits and field 
            investigations of any political committee required to file a 
            report under section 434 of this Title. All audits and field 
            investigations concerning the verification for, and receipt 
            and use of, any payments received by a candidate or 
            committee under chapter 95 or chapter 96 of Title 26 shall 
            be given priority. Prior to conducting any audit under this 
            subsection, the Commission shall perform an internal review 
            of reports filed by selected committees to determine if the 
            reports filed by a particular committee meet the threshold 
            requirements for substantial compliance with the Act. Such 
            thresholds for compliance shall be established by the 
            Commission. The Commission may, upon an affirmative vote of 
            4 of its members, conduct an audit and field investigation 
            of any committee which does meet the threshold requirements, 
            established by the Commission. Such audit shall be commenced 
            within 30 days of such vote, except that any audit of an 
            authorized committee of a candidate, under the provisions of 
            this subsection, shall be commenced within 6 months of the 
            election for which such committee is authorized.
            (c) Statutory provisions applicable to forms and 
                information-gathering activities
                Any forms prescribed by the Commission under subsection 
            (a)(1) of this section, and any information-gathering 
            activities of the Commission under this Act, shall not be 
            subject to the provisions of section 3512 of Title 44.
            (d) Rules, regulations, or forms; issuance, procedures 
                applicable, etc.
                (1) Before prescribing any rule, regulation, or form 
            under this section or any other provision of this Act, the 
            Commission shall transmit a statement with respect to such 
            rule, regulation, or form to the Senate and the House of 
            Representatives, in accordance with this subsection. Such 
            statement shall set forth the proposed rule, regulation, or 
            form, and shall contain a detailed explanation and 
            justification of it.
                (2) If either House of the Congress does not disapprove 
            by resolution any proposed rule or regulation submitted by 
            the Commission under this section within 30 legislative days 
            after the date of the receipt of such proposed rule or 
            regulation or within 10 legislative days after the date of 
            receipt of such proposed form, the Commission may prescribe 
            such rule, regulation, or form.
                (3) For purposes of this subsection, the term 
            ``legislative day'' means, with respect to statements 
            transmitted to the Senate, any calendar day on which the 
            Senate is in session, and with respect to statements 
            transmitted to the House of Representatives, any calendar 
            day on which the House of Representatives is in session.
                (4) For purposes of this subsection, the terms ``rule'' 
            and ``regulation'' mean a provision or series of 
            interrelated provisions stating a single, separable rule of 
            law.
                (5)(A) A motion to discharge a committee of the Senate 
            from the consideration of a resolution relating to any such 
            rule, regulation, or form or a motion to proceed to the 
            consideration of such resolution, is highly privileged and 
            shall be decided without debate.
                (B) Whenever a committee of the House of Representatives 
            reports any resolution relating to any such form, rule or 
            regulation, it is at any time thereafter in order (even 
            though a previous motion to the same effect has been 
            disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the 
            resolution. The motion is highly privileged and is not 
            debatable. An amendment to the motion is not in order, and 
            it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which 
            the motion is agreed to or disagreed with.
            (e) Scope of protection for good faith reliance upon rules 
                or regulations
                Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person 
            who relies upon any rule or regulation prescribed by the 
            Commission in accordance with the provisions of this section 
            and who acts in good faith in accordance with such rule or 
            regulation shall not, as a result of such act, be subject to 
            any sanction provided by this Act or by chapter 95 or 
            chapter 96 of Title 26.
            (f) Promulgation of rules, regulations, and forms by 
                Commission and Internal Revenue Service; report to 
                Congress on cooperative efforts
                In prescribing such rules, regulations, and forms under 
            this section, the Commission and the Internal Revenue

                        year which, in the aggregate, exceed $25,000;
                            (C) to any other political committee (other

                        party in any calendar year which, in the 
                        aggregate, exceed $10,000.
                (2) No multicandidate political committee shall make 
            contributions--
                            (A) to any candidate and his authorized 
                        political committees with respect to any

                        and maintained by a national political party, 
                        which are not the authorized political

                        $5,000.
                (3) During the period which begins on January 1 of an 
            odd-numbered year and ends on December 31 of the next even-
            numbered year, no individual may make contributions 
            aggregating more than--
                            (A) $37,500, in the case of contributions to 
                        candidates and the authorized committees of 
                        candidates;
                            (B) $57,500, in the case of any other 
                        contributions, of which not more than $37,500 
                        may be attributable to contributions to 
                        political committees which are not political 
                        committees of national political parties.
                (4) The limitations on contributions contained in 
            paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to transfers between and 
            among political committees which are national, State, 
            district, or local committees (including any subordinate 
            committee thereof) of the same political party. For purposes 
            of paragraph (2), the term ``multicandidate political 
            committee'' means a political committee which has been 
            registered under section 433 for a period of not less than 6 
            months, which has received contributions from more than 50 
            persons, and, except for any State political party 
            organization, has made contributions to 5 or more candidates 
            for Federal office.
                (5) For purposes of the limitations provided by 
            paragraph (1) and paragraph (2), all contributions made by 
            political committees established or financed or maintained 
            or controlled by any corporation, labor organization, or any 
            other person, including any parent, subsidiary, branch, 
            division, department, or local unit of such corporation, 
            labor organization, or any other person, or by any group of 
            such persons, shall be considered to have been made by a 
            single political committee, except that (A) nothing in this 
            sentence shall limit transfers between political committees 
            of funds raised through joint fund raising efforts; (B) for 
            purposes of the limitations provided by paragraph (1) and 
            paragraph (2) all contributions made by a single political 
            committee established or financed or maintained or 
            controlled by a national committee of a political party and 
            by a single political committee established or financed or 
            maintained or controlled by the State committee of a 
            political party shall not be considered to have been made by 
            a single political committee; and (C) nothing in this 
            section shall limit the transfer of funds between the 
            principal campaign committee of a candidate seeking 
            nomination or election to a Federal office and the principal 
            campaign committee of that candidate for nomination or 
            election to another Federal office if (i) such transfer is 
            not made when the candidate is actively seeking nomination 
            or election to both such offices; (ii) the limitations 
            contained in this Act on contributions by persons are not 
            exceeded by such transfer; and (iii) the candidate has not 
            elected to receive any funds under chapter 95 or chapter 96 
            of Title 26. In any case in which a corporation and any of 
            its subsidiaries, branches, divisions, departments, or local 
            units, or a labor organization and any of its subsidiaries, 
            branches, divisions, departments, or local units establish 
            or finance or maintain or control more than one separate 
            segregated fund, all such separate segregated funds shall be 
            treated as a single separate segregated fund for purposes of 
            the limitations provided by paragraph (1) and paragraph (2).
                (6) The limitations on contributions to a candidate 
            imposed by paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection shall 
            apply separately with respect to each election, except that 
            all elections held in any calendar year for the office of 
            President of the United States (except a general election 
            for such office) shall be considered to be one election.
                (7) For purposes of this subsection--
                            (A) contributions to a named candidate made 
                        to any political committee authorized by such 
                        candidate to accept contributions on his behalf 
                        shall be considered to be contributions made to 
                        such candidate;
                            (B)(i) expenditures made by any person in 
                        cooperation, consultation, or concert, with, or

                        his authorized political committees, or their 
                        agents, shall be considered to be a contribution 
                        to such candidate;
                            (ii) expenditures made by any person (other 
                        than a candidate or candidate's authorized 
                        committee) in cooperation, consultation, or 
                        concert with, or at the request or suggestion 
                        of, a national, State, or local committee of a 
                        political party, shall be considered to be 
                        contributions made to such party committee; and
                            (iii) the financing by any person of the 
                        dissemination, distribution, of republication, 
                        in whole or in part, of any broadcast or any 
                        written, graphic, or other form of campaign 
                        materials prepared by the candidate, his 
                        campaign committees, or their authorized agents 
                        shall be considered to be an expenditure for 
                        purposes of this paragraph; and
                            (C) if--

                                (i) any person makes, or contracts to 
                            make, any disbursement for any 
                            electioneering communication (within the 
                            meaning of section 304(f)(3)); and

                                (ii) such disbursement is coordinated 
                            with a candidate or an authorized committee 
                            of such candidate, a Federal, State, or 
                            local political party or committee thereof, 
                            or an agent or official of any such 
                            candidate, party, or committee;

                            such disbursement or contracting shall be 
                        treated as a contribution to the candidate 
                        supported by the electioneering communication or 
                        that candidate's party and as an expenditure by 
                        that candidate or that candidate's party; and
                            (D) contributions made to or for the benefit 
                        of any candidate nominated by a political party 
                        for election to the office of Vice President of 
                        the United States shall be considered to be 
                        contributions made to or for the benefit of the 
                        candidate of such party for election to the

                (8) For purposes of the limitations imposed by this 
            section, all contributions made by a person, either directly 
            or indirectly, on behalf of a particular candidate, 
            including contributions which are in any way earmarked or 
            otherwise directed through an intermediary or conduit to 
            such candidate, shall be treated as contributions from such 
            person to such candidate. The intermediary or conduit shall 
            report the original source and the intended recipient of 
            such contribution to the Commission and to the intended 
            recipient.

                (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law with 
            respect to the limitations on expenditures or limitations on

                            (B) for any person soliciting an employee 
                        for a contribution to such a fund to fail to 
                        inform such employee of the political purposes 
                        of such fund at the time of such solicitation; 
                        and

            (D), it shall be unlawful--
                            (i) for a corporation, or a separate 
                        segregated fund established by a corporation, to 
                        solicit contributions to such a fund from any 
                        person other than its stockholders and their 
                        families and its executive or administrative 
                        personnel and their families, and
                            (ii) for a labor organization, or a separate 
                        segregated fund established by a labor 
                        organization, to solicit contributions to such a 
                        fund from any person other than its members and 
                        their families.
                (B) It shall not be unlawful under this section for a 
            corporation, a labor organization, or a separate segregated 
            fund established by such corporation or such labor 
            organization, to make 2 written solicitations for 
            contributions during the calendar year from any stockholder, 
            executive or administrative personnel, or employee of a 
            corporation or the families of such persons. A solicitation 
            under this subparagraph may be made only by mail addressed 
            to stockholders, executive or administrative personnel, or 
            employees at their residence and shall be so designed that 
            the corporation, labor organization, or separate segregated 
            fund conducting such solicitation cannot determine who makes 
            a contribution of $50 or less as a result of such 
            solicitation or who does not make such a contribution.
                (C) This paragraph shall not prevent a membership 
            organization, cooperative, or corporation without capital 
            stock, or a separate segregated fund established by a 
            membership organization, cooperative, or corporation without 
            capital stock, from soliciting contributions to such a fund 
            from members of such organization, cooperative, or 
            corporation without capital stock.
                (D) This paragraph shall not prevent a trade association 
            or a separate segregated fund established by a trade 
            association from soliciting contributions from the 
            stockholders and executive or administrative personnel of 
            the member corporations of such trade association and the 
            families of such stockholders or personnel to the extent 
            that such solicitation of such stockholders and personnel, 
            and their families, has been separately and specifically 
            approved by the member corporation involved, and such member 
            corporation does not approve any such solicitation by more 
            than one such trade association in any calendar year.
                (5) Notwithstanding any other law, any method of 
            soliciting voluntary contributions or of facilitating the 
            making of voluntary contributions to a separate segregated 
            fund established by a corporation, permitted by law to 
            corporations with regard to stockholders and executive or 
            administrative personnel, shall also be permitted to labor 
            organizations with regard to their members.
                (6) Any corporation, including its subsidiaries, 
            branches, divisions, and affiliates, that utilizes a method 
            of soliciting voluntary contributions or facilitating the 
            making of voluntary contributions, shall make available such 
            method, on written request and at a cost sufficient only to 
            reimburse the corporation for the expenses incurred thereby, 
            to a labor organization representing any members working for 
            such corporation, its subsidiaries, branches, divisions, and 
            affiliates.
                (7) For purposes of this section, the term ``executive 
            or administrative personnel'' means individuals employed by 
            a corporation who are paid on a salary, rather than hourly, 
            basis and who have policymaking, managerial, professional, 
            or supervisory responsibilities.

            of 1971 (2 U.S.C. 431 et seq.)], or the application thereof 
            to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the validity 
            of the remainder of the Act and the application of such 
            provision to other persons and circumstances shall not be 
            affected thereby. (Pub.L. 92-225, Sec. 404, Feb. 7, 1972, 86

                        omission which was a violation of any provision 
                        of subchapter I of this chapter, as in effect on 
                        December 31, 1974, if such act or omission does

                     Chapter 15--OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT

       420  Sec. 471. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose.
                The Congress hereby finds and declares that:
                            (a) As technology continues to change and 
                        expand rapidly, its applications are--

                                (1) large and growing in scale; and

                                (2) increasingly extensive, pervasive, 
                            and critical in their impact, beneficial and 
                            adverse, on the natural and social 
                            environment.

                            (b) Therefore, it is essential that, to the 
                        fullest extent possible, the consequences of 
                        technological applications be anticipated, 
                        understood, and considered in determination of 
                        public policy on existing and emerging national 
                        problems.
                            (c) The Congress further finds that:

                                (1) the Federal agencies presently 
                            responsible directly to the Congress are not 
                            designed to provide the legislative branch 
                            with adequate and timely information, 
                            independently developed, relating to the 
                            potential impact of technological 
                            applications, and

                                (2) the present mechanisms of the 
                            Congress do not and are not designed to 
                            provide the legislative branch with such 
                            information.

                            (d) Accordingly, it is necessary for the 
                        Congress to--

                                (1) equip itself with new and effective 
                            means for securing competent, unbiased 
                            information concerning the physical, 
                            biological, economic, social, and political 
                            effects of such applications; and

                                (2) utilize this information, whenever 
                            appropriate, as one factor in the 
                            legislative assessment of matters pending 
                            before the Congress, particularly in those 
                            instances where the Federal Government may 
                            be called upon to consider support for, or 
                            management or regulation of, technological 
                            applications. (Pub.L. 92-484, Sec. 2, Oct. 
                            13, 1972, 86 Stat. 797.)

            the operations of the Office.
            (c) Functions and duties
                The basic function of the Office shall be to provide

                        methods of implementing specific programs;
                            (4) identify alternative programs for 
                        achieving requisite goals;
                            (5) make estimates and comparisons of the 
                        impacts of alternative methods and programs;
                            (6) present findings of completed analyses 
                        to the appropriate legislative authorities;
                            (7) identify areas where additional research 
                        or data collection is required to provide 
                        adequate support for the assessments and 
                        estimates described in paragraph (1) through (5) 
                        of this subsection; and
                            (8) undertake such additional associated 
                        activities as the appropriate authorities 
                        specified under subsection (d) of this section 
                        may direct.
            (d) Initiation of assessment activities
                Assessment activities undertaken by the Office may be 
            initiated upon the request of:
                            (1) the chairman of any standing, special, 
                        or select committee of either House of the 
                        Congress, or of any joint committee of the 
                        Congress, acting for himself or at the request 
                        of the ranking minority member or a majority of 
                        the committee members;
                            (2) the Board; or
                            (3) the Director, in consultation with the 
                        Board.
            (e) Availability of information
                Assessments made by the Office, including information, 
            surveys, studies, reports, and findings related thereto, 
            shall be made available to the initiating committee or other 
            appropriate committees of the Congress. In addition, any 
            such information, surveys, studies, reports, and findings

            except where--
                            (1) to do so would violate security 
                        statutes; or
                            (2) the Board considers it necessary or 
                        advisable to withhold such information in 
                        accordance with one or more of the numbered 
                        paragraphs in section 552(b) of Title 5. (Pub.L.

            selected by the Members of the House of Representatives on 
            the Board from among their number. The vice chairman during 
            each Congress shall be chosen in the same manner from that 
            House of Congress other than the House of Congress of which 
            the chairman is a Member.
            (d) Meetings; powers of Board

            procedures as it deems necessary, except that no 
            recommendation shall be reported from the Board unless a 
            majority of the Board assent. Subpoenas may be issued over 
            the signature of the chairman of the Board or of any voting 
            member designated by him or by the Board, and may be served

                      Chapter 17.--CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE

       435  Sec. 601. Establishment.
            (a) In general
                (1) There is established an office of the Congress to be 
            known as the Congressional Budget Office (hereinafter in 
            this chapter referred to as the ``Office''). The Office 
            shall be headed by a Director; and there shall be a Deputy 
            Director who shall perform such duties as may be assigned to 
            him by the Director and, during the absence or incapacity of 
            the Director or during a vacancy in that office, shall act 
            as Director.
                (2) The Director shall be appointed by the Speaker of 
            the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore 
            of the Senate after considering recommendations received 
            from the Committees on the Budget of the House and the 
            Senate, without regard to political affiliation and solely 
            on the basis of his fitness to perform his duties. The 
            Deputy Director shall be appointed by the Director.
                (3) The term of office of the Director shall be 4 years 
            and shall expire on January 3 of the year preceding each 
            Presidential election. Any individual appointed as Director 
            to fill a vacancy prior to the expiration of a term shall 
            serve only for the unexpired portion of that term. An 
            individual serving as Director at the expiration of a term 
            may continue to serve until his successor is appointed. Any 
            Deputy Director shall serve until the expiration of the term 
            of office of the Director who appointed him (and until his 
            successor is appointed), unless sooner removed by the 
            Director.
                (4) The Director may be removed by either House by 
            resolution.
                (5) (A) The Director shall receive compensation at an 
            annual rate of pay that is equal to the lower of--
                            (i) the highest annual rate of compensation 
                        of any officer of the Senate; or
                            (ii) the highest annual rate of compensation 
                        of any officer of the House of Representatives.
                (B) The Deputy Director shall receive compensation at an 
            annual rate of pay that is $1,000 less than the annual rate 
            of pay received by the Director, as determined under 
            subparagraph (A).
            (b) Personnel
                The Director shall appoint and fix the compensation of 
            such personnel as may be necessary to carry out the duties 
            and functions of the Office. All personnel of the Office 
            shall be appointed without regard to political affiliation 
            and solely on the basis of their fitness to perform their 
            duties. The Director may prescribe the duties and 
            responsibilities of the personnel of the Office, and 
            delegate to them authority to perform any of the duties, 
            powers, and functions imposed on the Office or on the 
            Director. For purposes of pay (other than pay of the 
            Director and Deputy Director) and employment benefits, 
            rights, and privileges, all personnel of the Office shall be 
            treated as if they were employees of the House of 
            Representatives.
            (c) Experts and consultants
                In carrying out the duties and functions of the Office, 
            the Director may procure the temporary (not to exceed one 
            year) or intermittent services of experts or consultants or 
            organizations thereof by contract as independent 
            contractors, or, in the case of individual experts or 
            consultants, by employment at rates of pay not in excess of 
            the daily equivalent of the highest rate of basic pay 
            payable under the General Schedule of section 5332 of Title 
            5.
            (d) Relationship to executive branch
                The Director is authorized to secure information, data, 
            estimates, and statistics directly from the various 
            departments, agencies, and establishments of the executive 
            branch of Government and the regulatory agencies and 
            commissions of the Government. All such departments, 
            agencies, establishments, and regulatory agencies and 
            commissions shall furnish the Director any available 
            material which he determines to be necessary in the 
            performance of his duties and functions (other than material 
            the disclosure of which would be a violation of law). The 
            Director is also authorized, upon agreement with the head of 
            any such department, agency, establishment, or regulatory 
            agency or commission, to utilize its services, facilities, 
            and personnel with or without reimbursement; and the head of 
            each such department, agency, establishment, or regulatory 
            agency or commission is authorized to provide the Office 
            such services, facilities, and personnel.
            (e) Relationship to other agencies of Congress
                In carrying out the duties and functions of the Office, 
            and for the purpose of coordinating the operations of the 
            Office with those of other congressional agencies with a 
            view to utilizing most effectively the information, 
            services, and capabilities of all such agencies in carrying 
            out the various responsibilities assigned to each, the 
            Director is authorized to obtain information, data, 
            estimates, and statistics developed by the Government 
            Accountability Office, and the Library of Congress, and 
            (upon agreement with them) to utilize their services, 
            facilities, and personnel with or without reimbursement. The 
            Comptroller General, and the Librarian of Congress, are 
            authorized to provide the Office with the information, data, 
            estimates, and statistics, and the services, facilities, and 
            personnel, referred to in the preceding sentence.
            (f) Revenue estimates
                For the purposes of revenue legislation which is income, 
            estate and gift, excise, and payroll taxes (i.e., Social 
            Security), considered or enacted in any session of Congress, 
            the Congressional Budget Office shall use exclusively during 
            that session of Congress revenue estimates provided to it by 
            the Joint Committee on Taxation. During that session of 
            Congress such revenue estimates shall be transmitted by the 
            Congressional Budget Office to any committee of the House of 
            Representatives or the Senate requesting such estimates, and 
            shall be used by such Committees in determining such 
            estimates. The Budget Committees of the Senate and House 
            shall determine all estimates with respect to scoring points 
            of order and with respect to the execution of the purposes 
            of this Act.
            (g) Authorization of appropriations
                There are authorized to be appropriated to the Office 
            for each fiscal year such sums as may be necessary to enable 
            it to carry out its duties and functions. Until sums are 
            first appropriated pursuant to the preceding sentence, but 
            for a period not exceeding 12 months following the effective 
            date of this subsection, the expenses of the Office shall be 
            paid from the contingent fund of the Senate, in accordance 
            with section 6503 of this title, and upon vouchers approved 
            by the Director. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title II, Sec. 201, July

                            determines that such advisory panels would 
                            be helpful in performing responsibilities of

                                    effective; and

                                        (II) any disproportionate

            the department, agency, establishment, or regulatory agency 
            or commission from which it is obtained.

                        if any, by which the aggregate level of Federal 
                        revenues should be increased or decreased by 
                        bills and resolutions to be reported by the 
                        appropriate committees;

                        pursuant to paragraph (1);

                        the 4 succeeding fiscal years; and
                \1\So in original. Probably should be ``for''.
                            (7) For\2\ purposes of Senate enforcement

            Federal program likely to have a significant budgetary 
            impact on any State, local, or tribal government, or likely 
            to have a significant financial impact on the private 
            sector, including any legislative proposal submitted by the 
            executive branch likely to have such a budgetary or 
            financial impact, shall include its views and estimates on 
            that proposal to the Committee on the Budget of the 
            applicable House.

                        section for each fiscal year, the Committee on 
                        the Budget of each House shall hold hearings and

                        to short-term and medium-term goals set forth in 
                        the report submitted by the members of the Joint 
                        Economic Committee under subsection (d) of this 
                        section may be considered by the Committee on 
                        the Budget of each House as part of its 
                        consideration of such concurrent resolution, and

            (f) Achievement of goals for reducing unemployment
                (1) If, pursuant to section 4(c) of the Employment Act 
            of 1946 [15 U.S.C. 1022a(c)], the President recommends in 
            the Economic Report that the goals for reducing unemployment 
            set forth in section 4(b) of such Act [15 U.S.C. 1022a(b)] 
            be achieved in a year after the close of the five-year 
            period prescribed by such subsection, the concurrent 
            resolution on the budget for the fiscal year beginning after 
            the date on which such Economic Report is received by the 
            Congress may set forth the year in which, in the opinion of 
            the Congress, such goals can be achieved.
                (2) After the Congress has expressed its opinion 
            pursuant to paragraph (1) as to the year in which the goals 
            for reducing unemployment set forth in section 4(b) of the 
            Employment Act of 1946 [15 U.S.C. 1022a(b)] can be achieved, 
            if, pursuant to section 4(e) of such Act [15 U.S.C. 
            1022a(e)], the President recommends in the Economic Report 
            that such goals be achieved in a year which is different 
            from the year in which the Congress has expressed its 
            opinion that such goals should be achieved, either in its 
            action pursuant to paragraph (1) or in its most recent 
            action pursuant to this paragraph, the concurrent resolution 
            on the budget for the fiscal year beginning after the date 
            on which such Economic Report is received by the Congress 
            may set forth the year in which, in the opinion of the 
            Congress, such goals can be achieved.
                (3) It shall be in order to amend the provision of such 
            resolution setting forth such year only if the amendment 
            thereto also proposes to alter the estimates, amounts, and 
            levels (as described in subsection (a) of this section) set 
            forth in such resolution in germane fashion in order to be 
            consistent with the economic goals (as described in sections 
            3(a)(2) and 4(b) of the Employment Act of 1946 [15 U.S.C. 
            1022(a)(2), 1022a(b)]) which such amendment proposes can be 
            achieved by the year specified in such amendment.
            (g) Economic assumptions
                (1) It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider 
            any concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year, 
            or any amendment thereto, or any conference report thereon, 
            that sets forth amounts and levels that are determined on 
            the basis of more than one set of economic and technical 
            assumptions.
                (2) The joint explanatory statement accompanying a 
            conference report on a concurrent resolution on the budget 
            shall set forth the common economic assumptions upon which 
            such joint statement and conference report are based, or 
            upon which any amendment contained in the joint explanatory 
            statement to be proposed by the conferees in the case of 
            technical disagreement, is based.
                (3) Subject to periodic reestimation based on changed 
            economic conditions or technical estimates, determinations 
            under Titles III and IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 
            1974 shall be based upon such common economic and technical 
            assumptions.
            (h) Budget Committee's consultation with committees
                The Committee on the Budget of the House of 
            Representatives shall consult with the committees of its 
            House having legislative jurisdiction during the 
            preparation, consideration, and enforcement of the 
            concurrent resolution on the budget with respect to all 
            matters which relate to the jurisdiction or functions of 
            such committees.
            (i) Social security point of order
                It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any 
            concurrent resolution on the budget (or amendment, motion, 
            or conference report on the resolution) that would decrease 
            the excess of social security revenues over social security 
            outlays in any of the fiscal years covered by the concurrent 
            resolution. No change in chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue 
            Code of 1986 shall be treated as affecting the amount of 
            social security revenues unless such provision changes the 
            income tax treatment of social security benefits. (Pub.L.

       449  Sec. 633. Committee allocations.
            (a) Committee spending allocations
                (1) Allocation among committees
                            The joint explanatory statement accompanying 
                        a conference report on a concurrent resolution 
                        on the budget shall include an allocation, 
                        consistent with the resolution recommended in 
                        the conference report, of the levels for the 
                        first fiscal year of the resolution, for at 
                        least each of the ensuing 4 fiscal years, and a 
                        total for that period of fiscal years (except in 
                        the case of the Committee on Appropriations only 
                        for the fiscal year of that resolution) of--

                                (A) total new budget authority; and

                                (B) total outlays;

                    among each committee of the House of Representatives 
                    or the Senate that has jurisdiction over legislation 
                    providing or creating such amounts.
                (2) No double counting
                            In the House of Representatives, any item 
                        allocated to one committee may not be allocated 
                        to another committee.
                (3) Further division of amounts
                            (A) In the Senate

                                In the Senate, the amount allocated to 
                            the Committee on Appropriations shall be 
                            further divided among the categories 
                            specified in section 250(c)(4) of the 
                            Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
                            Control Act of 1985 [2 U.S.C. 900(c)(4)] and 
                            shall not exceed the limits for each 
                            category set forth in section 251(c) of that 
                            Act [2 U.S.C. 901(c)].

                            (B) In the House

                                In the House of Representatives, the 
                            amounts allocated to each committee for each 
                            fiscal year, other than the Committee on 
                            Appropriations, shall be further divided 
                            between amounts provided or required by law 
                            on the date of filing of that conference 
                            report and amounts not so provided or 
                            required. The amounts allocated to the 
                            Committee on Appropriations shall be further 
                            divided--

                                        (i) between discretionary and 
                                    mandatory amounts or programs, as 
                                    appropriate; and

                                        (ii) consistent with the 
                                    categories specified in section 
                                    250(c)(4) of the Balanced Budget and 
                                    Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
                                    1985 [2 U.S.C. 900(c)(4)].

                (4) Amounts not allocated
                            In the House of Representatives or the 
                        Senate, if a committee receives no allocation of 
                        new budget authority or outlays, that committee 
                        shall be deemed to have received an allocation 
                        equal to zero for new budget authority or 
                        outlays.
                (5) Adjusting allocation of discretionary spending in 
            the House of Representatives
                            (A) If a concurrent resolution on the budget 
                        is not adopted by April 15, the chairman of the 
                        Committee on the Budget of the House of 
                        Representatives shall submit to the House, as 
                        soon as practicable, an allocation under 
                        paragraph (1) to the Committee on Appropriations 
                        consistent with the discretionary spending 
                        levels in the most recently agreed to concurrent 
                        resolution on the budget for the appropriate 
                        fiscal year covered by that resolution.
                            (B) As soon as practicable after an 
                        allocation under paragraph (1) is submitted 
                        under this section, the Committee on 
                        Appropriations shall make suballocations and 
                        report those suballocations to the House of 
                        Representatives.
            (b) Suballocations by Appropriations Committees
                As soon as practicable after a concurrent resolution on 
            the budget is agreed to, the Committee on Appropriations of 
            each House (after consulting with the Committee on 
            Appropriations of the other House) shall suballocate each 
            amount allocated to it for the budget year under subsection 
            (a) of this section among its subcommittees. Each Committee 
            on Appropriations shall promptly report to its House 
            suballocations made or revised under this subsection. The 
            Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
            shall further divide among its subcommittees the divisions 
            made under subsection (a)(3)(B) of this section and promptly 
            report those divisions to the House.
            (c) Point of order
                After the Committee on Appropriations has received an 
            allocation pursuant to subsection (a) of this section for a 
            fiscal year, it shall not be in order in the House of 
            Representatives or the Senate to consider any bill, joint 
            resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report within 
            the jurisdiction of that committee providing new budget 
            authority for that fiscal year, until that committee makes 
            the suballocations required by subsection (b) of this 
            section.
            (d) Subsequent concurrent resolutions
                In the case of a concurrent resolution on the budget 
            referred to in section 635 of this title, the allocations 
            under subsection (a) of this section and the subdivisions 
            under subsection (b) of this section shall be required only 
            to the extent necessary to take into account revisions made 
            in the most recently agreed to concurrent resolution on the 
            budget.
            (e) Alteration of allocations
                At any time after a committee reports the allocations 
            required to be made under subsection (b) of this section, 
            such committee may report to its House an alteration of such 
            allocations. Any alteration of such allocations must be 
            consistent with any actions already taken by its House on 
            legislation within the committee's jurisdiction.
            (f) Legislation subject to point of order
                (1) In the House of Representatives
                            After the Congress has completed action on a 
                        concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal 
                        year, it shall not be in order in the House of 
                        Representatives to consider any bill, joint 
                        resolution, or amendment providing new budget 
                        authority for any fiscal year, or any conference 
                        report on any such bill or joint resolution, 
                        if--

                                (A) the enactment of such bill or 
                            resolution as reported;

                                (B) the adoption and enactment of such 
                            amendment; or

                                (C) the enactment of such bill or 
                            resolution in the form recommended in such 
                            conference report,

                    would cause the applicable allocation of new budget 
                    authority made under subsection (a) or (b) of this 
                    section for the first fiscal year or the total of 
                    fiscal years to be exceeded.
                (2) In the Senate
                            After a concurrent resolution on the budget 
                        is agreed to, it shall not be in order in the 
                        Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, 
                        amendment, motion, or conference report that 
                        would cause--

                                (A) in the case of any committee except 
                            the Committee on Appropriations, the 
                            applicable allocation of new budget 
                            authority or outlays under subsection (a) of 
                            this section for the first fiscal year or 
                            the total of fiscal years to be exceeded; or

                                (B) in the case of the Committee on 
                            Appropriations, the applicable suballocation 
                            of new budget authority or outlays under 
                            subsection (b) of this section to be 
                            exceeded.

            (g) Pay-as-you-go exception in the House
                (1) In general
                            (A) Subsection (f)(1) of this section and, 
                        after April 15, section 634(a) of this title 
                        shall not apply to any bill or joint resolution, 
                        as reported, amendment thereto, or conference 
                        report thereon if, for each fiscal year covered 
                        by the most recently agreed to concurrent 
                        resolution on the budget--

                                (i) the enactment of that bill or 
                            resolution as reported;

                                (ii) the adoption and enactment of that 
                            amendment; or

                                (iii) the enactment of that bill or 
                            resolution in the form recommended in that 
                            conference report,

                    would not increase the deficit, and, if the sum of 
                    any revenue increases provided in legislation 
                    already enacted during the current session (when 
                    added to revenue increases, if any, in excess of any 
                    outlay increase provided by the legislation proposed 
                    for consideration) is at least as great as the sum 
                    of the amount, if any, by which the aggregate level 
                    of Federal revenues should be increased as set forth 
                    in that concurrent resolution and the amount, if 
                    any, by which revenues are to be increased pursuant 
                    to pay-as-you-go procedures under section 632(b)(8) 
                    of this title, if included in that concurrent 
                    resolution.
                            (B) Section 642(a) of this title, as that 
                        section applies to revenues, shall not apply to 
                        any bill, joint resolution, amendment thereto, 
                        or conference report thereon if, for each fiscal 
                        year covered by the most recently agreed to 
                        concurrent resolution on the budget--

                                (i) the enactment of that bill or 
                            resolution as reported;

                                (ii) the adoption and enactment of that 
                            amendment; or

                                (iii) the enactment of that bill or 
                            resolution in the form recommended in that 
                            conference report,

                    would not increase the deficit, and, if the sum of 
                    any outlay reductions provided in legislation 
                    already enacted during the current session (when 
                    added to outlay reductions, if any, in excess of any 
                    revenue reduction provided by the legislation 
                    proposed for consideration) is at least as great as 
                    the sum of the amount, if any, by which the 
                    aggregate level of Federal outlays should be reduced 
                    as required by that concurrent resolution and the 
                    amount, if any, by which outlays are to be reduced 
                    pursuant to pay-as-you-go procedures under section 
                    632(b)(8) of this title, if included in that 
                    concurrent resolution.
                (2) Revised allocations
                            (A) As soon as practicable after Congress 
                        agrees to a bill or joint resolution that would 
                        have been subject to a point of order under 
                        subsection (f)(1) of this section but for the 
                        exception provided in paragraph (1)(A) or would 
                        have been subject to a point of order under 
                        section 642(a) of this title but for the 
                        exception provided in paragraph (1)(B), the 
                        chairman of the committee on the Budget of the 
                        House of Representatives shall file with the 
                        House appropriately revised allocations under 
                        section 633(a) of this title and revised 
                        functional levels and budget aggregates to 
                        reflect that bill.
                            (B) Such revised allocations, functional 
                        levels, and budget aggregates shall be 
                        considered for the purposes of this Act as 
                        allocations, functional levels, and budget 
                        aggregates contained in the most recently agreed

       450  Sec. 634. Concurrent resolution on the budget must be 
                adopted before budget-related legislation is considered.
            (a) In general
                Until the concurrent resolution on the budget for a 
            fiscal year has been agreed to, it shall not be in order in 
            the House of Representatives, with respect to the first 
            fiscal year covered by that resolution, or the Senate, with 
            respect to any fiscal year covered by that resolution, to 
            consider any bill or joint resolution, amendment or motion 
            thereto, or conference report thereon that--
                            (1) first provides new budget authority for 
                        that fiscal year;
                            (2) first provides an increase or decrease 
                        in revenues during that fiscal year;
                            (3) provides an increase or decrease in the 
                        public debt limit to become effective during

                In the House of Representatives, subsection (a) of this

                        reported, providing advance discretionary new 
                        budget authority that first becomes available

                        revenues in a fiscal year following the fiscal 
                        year to which the concurrent resolution applies;
                            (2) after May 15, to any general 
                        appropriation bill or amendment thereto; or
                            (3) to any bill or joint resolution unless 
                        it is reported by a committee.
            (c) Application to appropriation measures in the Senate
                (1) In general
                            Until the concurrent resolution on the 
                        budget for a fiscal year has been agreed to and 
                        an allocation has been made to the Committee on 
                        Appropriations of the Senate under section 
                        633(a) of this title for that year, it shall not

            budget for a fiscal year has been agreed to pursuant to 
            section 632 of this title, and before the end of such fiscal 
            year, the two Houses may adopt a concurrent resolution on 
            the budget which revises or reaffirms the concurrent 
            resolution on the budget for such fiscal year most recently 
            agreed to. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title III, Sec. 304, July 12,

       452  Sec. 636. Provisions relating to consideration of concurrent 
                resolutions on the budget.
            (a) Procedure in House after report of Committee; debate
                (1) When a concurrent resolution on the budget has been 
            reported by the Committee on the Budget of the House of 
            Representatives and has been referred to the appropriate 
            calendar of the House, it shall be in order on any day 
            thereafter, subject to clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI of the 
            Rules of the House of Representatives, to move to proceed to 
            the consideration of the concurrent resolution. The motion 
            is highly privileged and is not debatable. An amendment to 
            the motion is not in order and it is not in order to move to 
            reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or 
            disagreed to.
                (2) General debate on any concurrent resolution on the 
            budget in the House of Representatives shall be limited to 
            not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally 
            between the majority and minority parties, plus such 
            additional hours of debate as are consumed pursuant to 
            paragraph (3). A motion further to limit debate is not 
            debatable. A motion to recommit the concurrent resolution is 
            not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider 
            the vote by which the concurrent resolution is agreed to or 
            disagreed to.
                (3) Following the presentation of opening statements on 
            the concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year by 
            the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
            the Budget of the House, there shall be a period of up to 
            four hours for debate on economic goals and policies.
                (4) Only if a concurrent resolution on the budget 
            reported by the Committee on the Budget of the House sets 
            forth the economic goals (as described in sections 
            1022(a)(2) and 1022a(b) of Title 15) which the estimates, 
            amounts, and levels (as described in section 632(a) of this 
            title) set forth in such resolution are designed to achieve, 
            shall it be in order to offer to such resolution an 
            amendment relating to such goals, and such amendment shall 
            be in order only if it also proposes to alter such 
            estimates, amounts, and levels in germane fashion in order 
            to be consistent with the goals proposed in such amendment.
                (5) Consideration of any concurrent resolution on the 
            budget by the House of Representatives shall be in the 
            Committee of the Whole, and the resolution shall be 
            considered for amendment under the five-minute rule in 
            accordance with the applicable provisions of rule XXIII\1\ 
            of the Rules of the House of Representatives. After the 
            Committee rises and reports the resolution back to the 
            House, the previous question shall be considered as ordered 
            on the resolution and any amendments thereto to final 
            passage without intervening motion; except that it shall be 
            in order at any time prior to final passage (notwithstanding 
            any other rule or provision of law) to adopt an amendment 
            (or a series of amendments) changing any figure or figures 
            in the resolution as so reported to the extent necessary to 
            achieve mathematical consistency.
                \1\Recodified at the beginning of the 106th Congress as 
                rule XVIII.
                (6) Debate in the House of Representatives on the 
            conference report on any concurrent resolution on the budget 
            shall be limited to not more than 5 hours, which shall be 
            divided equally between the majority and minority parties. A 
            motion further to limit debate is not debatable. A motion to 
            recommit the conference report is not in order, and it is 
            not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the 
            conference report is agreed to or disagreed to.
                (7) Appeals from decisions of the Chair relating to the 
            application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to 
            the procedure relating to any concurrent resolution on the 
            budget shall be decided without debate.
            (b) Procedure in Senate after report of Committee; debate; 
                amendments
                (1) Debate in the Senate on any concurrent resolution on 
            the budget, and all amendments thereto and debatable motions 
            and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not 
            more than 50 hours, except that with respect to any 
            concurrent resolution referred to in section 635(a) of this 
            title all such debate shall be limited to not more than 15 
            hours. The time shall be equally divided between, and 
            controlled by, the majority leader and the minority leader 
            or their designees.
                (2) Debate in the Senate on any amendment to a 
            concurrent resolution on the budget shall be limited to 2 
            hours, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the 
            mover and the manager of the concurrent resolution, and 
            debate on any amendment to an amendment, debatable motion, 
            or appeal shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided 
            between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
            concurrent resolution, except that in the event the manager 
            of the concurrent resolution is in favor of any such 
            amendment, motion, or appeal, the time in opposition thereto 
            shall be controlled by the minority leader or his designee. 
            No amendment that is not germane to the provisions of such 
            concurrent resolution shall be received. Such leaders, or 
            either of them, may, from the time under their control on 
            the passage of the concurrent resolution, allot additional 
            time to any Senator during the consideration of any 
            amendment, debatable motion, or appeal.
                (3) Following the presentation of opening statements on 
            the concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year by 
            the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
            the Budget of the Senate, there shall be a period of up to 
            four hours for debate on economic goals and policies.
                (4) Subject to the other limitations of this Act, only 
            if a concurrent resolution on the budget reported by the 
            Committee on the Budget of the Senate sets forth the 
            economic goals (as described in sections 1022(a)(2) and 
            1022a(b) of Title 15) which the estimates, amounts, and 
            levels (as described in section 632(a) of this title) set 
            forth in such resolution are designed to achieve, shall it 
            be in order to offer to such resolution an amendment 
            relating to such goals, and such amendment shall be in order 
            only if it also proposes to alter such estimates, amounts, 
            and levels in germane fashion in order to be consistent with 
            the goals proposed in such amendment.
                (5) A motion to further limit debate is not debatable. A 
            motion to recommit (except a motion to recommit with 
            instructions to report back within a specified number of 
            days, not to exceed 3, not counting any day on which the 
            Senate is not in session) is not in order. Debate on any 
            such motion to recommit shall be limited to 1 hour, to be 
            equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and 
            the manager of the concurrent resolution.
                (6) Notwithstanding any other rule, an amendment or 
            series of amendments to a concurrent resolution on the 
            budget proposed in the Senate shall always be in order if 
            such amendment or series of amendments proposes to change 
            any figure or figures then contained in such concurrent 
            resolution so as to make such concurrent resolution 
            mathematically consistent or so as to maintain such 
            consistency.
            (c) Action on conference reports in Senate
                (1) A motion to proceed to the consideration of the 
            conference report on any concurrent resolution on the budget 
            (or a reconciliation bill or resolution) may be made even 
            though a previous motion to the same effect has been 
            disagreed to.
                (2) During the consideration in the Senate of the 
            conference report (or a message between Houses) on any 
            concurrent resolution on the budget, and all amendments in 
            disagreement, and all amendments thereto, and debatable 
            motions and appeals in connection therewith, debate shall be 
            limited to 10 hours, to be equally divided between, and 
            controlled by, the majority leader and minority leader or 
            their designees. Debate on any debatable motion or appeal 
            related to the conference report (or a message between 
            Houses) shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided 
            between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
            conference report.
                (3) Should the conference report be defeated, debate on 
            any request for a new conference and the appointment of 
            conferees shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided 
            between, and controlled by, the manager of the conference 
            report and the minority leader or his designee, and should 
            any motion be made to instruct the conferees before the 
            conferees are named, debate on such motion shall be limited 
            to one-half hour, to be equally divided between, and 
            controlled by, the mover and the manager of the conference 
            report. Debate on any amendment to any such instructions 
            shall be limited to 20 minutes, to be equally divided

            revenue increases provided (for such fiscal years) in such 
            instructions relating to such bill or resolution, unless

            outlays, an increase in other specific Federal revenues, or 
            a combination thereof (for such fiscal years) at least 
            equivalent to any increase in outlays or decrease in

                        such an excess and social security deficits 
                        equal the excess of social security outlays over

                        involving a change in chapter I of the Internal 
                        Revenue Code of 1986 shall be treated as 
                        affecting the amount of social security revenues 
                        or outlays unless that provision changes the

            year or to any conference report on any such bill or 
            resolution, if--
                            (1) the enactment of that bill or resolution 
                        as reported;

                (1) In general
                            Except as otherwise provided in this 
                        subsection, it shall not be in order in the 
                        Senate to consider any bill or resolution (or 
                        amendment, motion, or conference report on that 
                        bill or resolution) that would exceed any of the 
                        discretionary spending limits in section 901(c) 
                        of this title.
                (2) Exceptions
                            This subsection shall not apply if a 
                        declaration of war by the Congress is in effect 
                        or if a joint resolution pursuant to section 
                        907a of this title has been enacted.
            (c) Maximum deficit amount point of order in the Senate
                It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any 
            concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year, or to 
            consider any amendment to that concurrent resolution, or to 
            consider a conference report on that concurrent resolution, 
            if--
                            (1) the level of total outlays for the first 
                        fiscal year set forth in that concurrent 
                        resolution or conference report exceeds; or
                            (2) the adoption of that amendment would 
                        result in a level of total outlays for that 
                        fiscal year that exceeds;

            the recommended level of Federal revenues for that fiscal 
            year, by an amount that is greater than the maximum deficit 
            amount, if any, specified in the Balanced Budget and 
            Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 for that fiscal year.

            (d) Timing of points of order in the Senate
                A point of order under this Act may not be raised 
            against a bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or conference 
            report while an amendment or motion, the adoption of which 
            would remedy the violation of this Act, is pending before 
            the Senate.
            (e) Points of order in the Senate against amendments between 
                the Houses
                Each provision of this Act that establishes a point of 
            order against an amendment also establishes a point of order 
            in the Senate against an amendment between the Houses. If a 
            point of order under this Act is raised in the Senate 
            against an amendment between the Houses and the point of 
            order is sustained, the effect shall be the same as if the 
            Senate had disagreed to the amendment.
            (f) Effect of a point of order in the Senate
                In the Senate, if a point of order under this Act 
            against a bill or resolution is sustained, the Presiding 
            Officer shall then recommit the bill or resolution to the 
            committee of appropriate jurisdiction for further 
            consideration. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title III, Sec. 312, as added 
            Pub.L. 101-508, Title XIII, Sec. 13207(b)(1), Nov. 5, 1990, 
            104 Stat. 1388-618, and amended Pub.L. 105-33, Title X, 
            Sec. 10113(a), Aug. 5, 1997, 111 Stat. 687.)
       460  Sec. 644. Extraneous matter in reconciliation legislation.
            (a) In general
                When the Senate is considering a reconciliation bill or 
            a reconciliation resolution pursuant to section 641 of this 
            title (whether that bill or resolution originated in the 
            Senate or the House) or section 907d of this title, upon a 
            point of order being made by any Senator against material 
            extraneous to the instructions to a committee which is 
            contained in any title or provision of the bill or 
            resolution or offered as an amendment to the bill or 
            resolution, and the point of order is sustained by the 
            Chair, any part of said title or provision that contains 
            material extraneous to the instructions to said Committee as 
            defined in subsection (b) of this section shall be deemed 
            stricken from the bill and may not be offered as an 
            amendment from the floor.
            (b) Extraneous provisions
                (1)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a provision 
            of a reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution 
            considered pursuant to section 641 of this title shall be 
            considered extraneous if such provision does not produce a 
            change in outlays or revenues, including changes in outlays 
            and revenues brought about by changes in the terms and 
            conditions under which outlays are made or revenues are 
            required to be collected (but a provision in which outlay 
            decreases or revenue increases exactly offset outlay 
            increases or revenue decreases shall not be considered 
            extraneous by virtue of this subparagraph);
                (B) any provision producing an increase in outlays or 
            decrease in revenues shall be considered extraneous if the 
            net effect of provisions reported by the Committee reporting 
            the title containing the provision is that the Committee 
            fails to achieve its reconciliation instructions;
                (C) a provision that is not in the jurisdiction of the 
            Committee with jurisdiction over said title or provision 
            shall be considered extraneous;
                (D) a provision shall be considered extraneous if it 
            produces changes in outlays or revenues which are merely 
            incidental to the non-budgetary components of the provision;
                (E) a provision shall be considered to be extraneous if 
            it increases, or would increase, net outlays, or if it 
            decreases, or would decrease, revenues during a fiscal year 
            after the fiscal years covered by such reconciliation bill 
            or reconciliation resolution, and such increases or 
            decreases are greater than outlay reductions or revenue 
            increases resulting from other provisions in such title in 
            such year; and
                (F) a provision shall be considered extraneous if it 
            violates section 641(g) of this title.
                (2) A Senate-originated provision shall not be 
            considered extraneous under paragraph (1)(A) if the Chairman 
            and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on the Budget 
            and the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the 
            Committee which reported the provision certify that:
                            (A) the provision mitigates the direct 
                        effects clearly attributable to a provision 
                        changing outlays or revenues and both provisions 
                        together produce a net reduction in the deficit;
                            (B) the provision will result in a 
                        substantial reduction in outlays or a 
                        substantial increase in revenues during fiscal 
                        years after the fiscal years covered by the 
                        reconciliation bill or reconciliation 
                        resolution;
                            (C) a reduction of outlays or an increase in 
                        revenues is likely to occur as a result of the 
                        provision, in the event of new regulations 
                        authorized by the provision or likely to be 
                        proposed, court rulings on pending litigation, 
                        or relationships between economic indices and 
                        stipulated statutory triggers pertaining to the 
                        provision, other than the regulations, court 
                        rulings or relationships currently projected by 
                        the Congressional Budget Office for scorekeeping 
                        purposes; or
                            (D) such provision will be likely to produce 
                        a significant reduction in outlays or increase 
                        in revenues but, due to insufficient data, such 
                        reduction or increase cannot be reliably 
                        estimated.
                (3) A provision reported by a committee shall not be 
            considered extraneous under paragraph (1)(C) if (A) the 
            provision is an integral part of a provision or title, which 
            if introduced as a bill or resolution would be referred to 
            such committee, and the provision sets forth the procedure 
            to carry out or implement the substantive provisions that 
            were reported and which fall within the jurisdiction of such 
            committee; or (B) the provision states an exception to, or a 
            special application of, the general provision or title of 
            which it is a part and such general provision or title if 
            introduced as a bill or resolution would be referred to such 
            committee.
            (c) Extraneous materials
                Upon the reporting or discharge of a reconciliation bill 
            or resolution pursuant to section 641 of this title in the 
            Senate, and again upon the submission of a conference report 
            on such a reconciliation bill or resolution, the Committee 
            on the Budget of the Senate shall submit for the record a 
            list of material considered to be extraneous under 
            subsections (b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), and (b)(1)(E) of this 
            section to the instructions of a committee as provided in 
            this section. The inclusion or exclusion of a provision 
            shall not constitute a determination of extraneousness by 
            the Presiding Officer of the Senate.
            (d) Conference reports
                When the Senate is considering a conference report on, 
            or an amendment between the Houses in relation to, a 
            reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution pursuant to 
            section 641 of this title, upon--
                            (1) a point of order being made by any 
                        Senator against extraneous material meeting the 
                        definition of subsections (b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), 
                        (b)(1)(D), (b)(l)(E), or (b)(l)(F) of this 
                        section, and
                            (2) such point of order being sustained,

            such material contained in such conference report or 
            amendment shall be deemed stricken, and the Senate shall 
            proceed, without intervening action or motion, to consider 
            the question of whether the Senate shall recede from its 
            amendment and concur with a further amendment, or concur in 
            the House amendment with a further amendment, as the case 
            may be, which further amendment shall consist of only that 
            portion of the conference report or House amendment, as the 
            case may be, not so stricken. Any such motion in the Senate 
            shall be debatable for two hours. In any case in which such 
            point of order is sustained against a conference report (or 
            Senate amendment derived from such conference report by 
            operation of this subsection), no further amendment shall be 
            in order.

            (e) General point of order
                Notwithstanding any other law or rule of the Senate, it 
            shall be in order for a Senator to raise a single point of 
            order that several provisions of a bill, resolution, 
            amendment, motion, or conference report violate this 
            section. The Presiding Officer may sustain the point of 
            order as to some or all of the provisions against which the 
            Senator raised the point of order. If the Presiding Officer 
            so sustains the point of order as to some of the provisions 
            (including provisions of an amendment, motion, or conference 
            report) against which the Senator raised the point of order, 
            then only those provisions (including provisions of an 
            amendment, motion, or conference report) against which the 
            Presiding Officer sustains the point of order shall be 
            deemed stricken pursuant to this section. Before the 
            Presiding Officer rules on such a point of order, any 
            Senator may move to waive such a point of order as it 
            applies to some or all of the provisions against which the 
            point of order was raised. Such a motion to waive is 
            amendable in accordance with the rules and precedents of the 
            Senate. After the Presiding Officer rules on such a point of 
            order, any Senator may appeal the ruling of the Presiding 
            Officer on such a point of order as it applies to some or 
            all of the provisions on which the Presiding Officer ruled.

            offering of an amendment thereto or the submission of a 
            conference report thereon, the chairman of the Committee on 
            the Budget of the House of Representatives or the Senate may 
            make appropriate budgetary adjustments of new budget 
            authority and the outlays flowing therefrom in the same 
            amount as required by section 901(b) of this title.
            (b) Application of adjustments
                The adjustments made pursuant to subsection (a) of this 
            section for legislation shall--

                        consideration;
                            (2) take effect upon the enactment of that 
                        legislation; and
                            (3) be published in the Congressional Record 
                        as soon as practicable.
            (c) Reporting revised suballocations
                Following any adjustment made under subsection (a) of 
            this section, the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate 
            and the House of Representatives may report appropriately 
            revised suballocations under section 633(b) of this title to 
            carry out this section.
            (d) Emergencies in the House of Representatives
                            (1) In the House of Representatives, if a 
                        reported bill or joint resolution, or amendment 
                        thereto or conference report thereon, contains a 
                        provision providing new budget authority and 
                        outlays or reducing revenue, and a designation 
                        of such provision as an emergency requirement 
                        pursuant to 901(b)(2)(A) of this title, the 
                        chair of the Committee on the Budget of the 
                        House of Representatives shall not count the 
                        budgetary effects of such provision for purposes 
                        of title III and title IV of the Congressional 
                        Budget Act of 1974 and the Rules of the House of 
                        Representatives.
                            (2)(A) In the House of Representatives, if a 
                        reported bill or joint resolution, or amendment 
                        thereto or conference report thereon, contains a 
                        provision providing new budget authority and 
                        outlays or reducing revenue, and a designation 
                        of such provision as an emergency pursuant to 
                        paragraph (1), the chair of the Committee on the 
                        Budget shall not count the budgetary effects of 
                        such provision for purposes of this title and 
                        title IV and the Rules of the House of 
                        Representatives.

                                        (B) In the House of 
                                    Representatives, a proposal to 
                                    strike a designation under 
                                    subparagraph (A) shall be excluded 
                                    from an evaluation of budgetary 
                                    effects for purposes of this title 
                                    and title IV and the Rules of the 
                                    House of Representatives.

                                        (C) An amendment offered under 
                                    subparagraph (B) that also proposes 
                                    to reduce each amount appropriated 
                                    or otherwise made available by the 
                                    pending measure that is not required 
                                    to be appropriated or otherwise made 
                                    available shall be in order at any 
                                    point in the reading of the pending 
                                    measure.

            amendment, motion, amendment between the Houses, or 
            conference report, if a point of order is made by a Senator 
            against an emergency designation in that measure, that 
            provision making such a designation shall be stricken from 
            the measure and may not be offered as an amendment from the 
            floor.
                            (2) Supermajority waiver and appeals

                                                Appeals in the Senate 
                                            from the decisions of the 
                                            Chair relating to any 
                                            provision of this subsection 
                                            shall be limited to 1 hour, 
                                            to be equally divided 
                                            between, and controlled by, 
                                            the appellant and the 
                                            manager of the bill or joint 
                                            resolution, as the case may 
                                            be. An affirmative vote of 
                                            three-fifths of the Members 
                                            of the Senate, duly chosen 
                                            and sworn, shall be required 
                                            to sustain an appeal of the 
                                            ruling of the Chair on a 
                                            point of order raised under 
                                            this subsection.

                            (3) Definition of an emergency designation
                For purposes of paragraph (1), a provision shall be 
            considered an emergency designation if it designates any 
            item pursuant to section 901(b)(2)(A)(i) of this title.
                            (4) Form of the point of order
                A point of order under paragraph (1) may be raised by a 
            Senator as provided in section 644(e) of this title.
                            (5) Conference reports
                When the Senate is considering a conference report on, 
            or an amendment between the Houses in relation to, a bill, 
            upon a point of order being made by any Senator pursuant to 
            this section, and such point of order being sustained, such 
            material contained in such conference report shall be deemed 
            stricken, and the Senate shall proceed to consider the 
            question of whether the Senate shall recede from its 
            amendment and concur with a further amendment, or concur in 
            the House amendment with a further amendment, as the case 
            may be, which further amendment shall consist of only that 
            portion of the conference report or House amendment, as the 
            case may be, not so stricken. Any such motion in the Senate 
            shall be debatable. In any case in which such point of order 
            is sustained against a conference report (or Senate 
            amendment derived from such conference report by operation 
            of this subsection), no further amendment shall be in order.
            (f) Enforcement of discretionary spending caps
                It shall not be in order in the House of Representatives 
            or the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, 
            amendment, motion, or conference report that would cause the 
            discretionary spending limits as set forth in section 901 of 
            this title to be exceeded. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title III, 
            Sec. 314, as added Pub.L. 105-33, Title X, Sec. 10114(a),

                in the House of Representatives.
                For purposes of a reported bill or joint resolution 
            considered in the House of Representatives pursuant to a 
            special order of business, the term ``as reported'' in this 
            subchapter or subchapter II of this chapter shall be 
            considered to refer to the text made in order as an original 
            bill or joint resolution for the purpose of amendment or to 
            the text on which the previous question is ordered directly 
            to passage, as the case may be. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title III,

                             Part A.--General Provisions

       463   Sec. 651. Budget-related legislation not subject to 
                appropriations.
            (a) Controls on certain budget-related legislation not 
                subject to appropriations
                It shall not be in order in either the House of 
            Representatives or the Senate to consider any bill or joint 
            resolution (in the House of Representatives only, as 
            reported), amendment, motion, or conference report that 
            provides--
                            (1) new authority to enter into contracts 
                        under which the United States is obligated to 
                        make outlays;
                            (2) new authority to incur indebtedness 
                        (other than indebtedness incurred under chapter 
                        31 of Title 31 of the United States Code) for 
                        the repayment of which the United States is 
                        liable; or
                            (3) new credit authority;

            unless that bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or 
            conference report also provides that the new authority is to 
            be effective for any fiscal year only to the extent or in 
            the amounts provided in advance in appropriation Acts.

            (b) Legislation providing new entitlement authority
                (1) Point of order
                            It shall not be in order in either the House 
                        of Representatives or the Senate to consider any 
                        bill or joint resolution (in the House of 
                        Representatives only, as reported), amendment, 
                        motion, or conference report that provides new 
                        entitlement authority that is to become 
                        effective during the current fiscal year.
                (2) If any committee of the House of Representatives or 
            the Senate reports any bill or resolution which provides new 
            entitlement authority which is to become effective during a 
            fiscal year and the amount of new budget authority which 
            will be required for such fiscal year if such bill or 
            resolution is enacted as so reported exceeds the appropriate 
            allocation of new budget authority reported under section 
            633(b) of this title in connection with the most recently 
            agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget for such 
            fiscal year, such bill or resolution shall then be referred 
            to the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate or may then 
            be referred to the Committee on Appropriations of the House, 
            as the case may be, with instructions to report it, with the 
            committee's recommendations, within 15 calendar days (not 
            counting any day on which that House is not in session) 
            beginning with the day following the day on which it is so 
            referred. If the Committee on Appropriations of either House 
            fails to report a bill or resolution referred to it under 
            this paragraph within such 15-day period, the committee 
            shall automatically be discharged from further consideration 
            of such bill or resolution and such bill or resolution shall 
            be placed on the appropriate calendar.
                (3) The Committee on Appropriations of each House shall 
            have jurisdiction to report any bill or resolution referred 
            to it under paragraph (2) with an amendment which limits the 
            total amount of new spending authority provided in such bill 
            or resolution.
            (c) Exceptions
                (1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not 
            apply to new authority described in those subsections if 
            outlays from that new authority will flow--
                            (A) from a trust fund established by the 
                        Social Security Act (as in effect on July 12, 
                        1974) [42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.]; or
                            (B) from any other trust fund, 90 percent or 
                        more of the receipts of which consist or will 
                        consist of amounts (transferred from the general 
                        fund of the Treasury) equivalent to amounts of 
                        taxes (related to the purposes for which such 
                        outlays are or will be made) received in the 
                        Treasury under specified provisions of the 
                        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [26 U.S.C. 1 et 
                        seq.].
                (2) Subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not 
            apply to new authority described in those subsections to the 
            extent that--
                            (A) the outlays resulting therefrom are made 
                        by an organization which is (i) a mixed-
                        ownership Government corporation (as defined in 
                        section 9101(2) of Title 31), or (ii) a wholly 
                        owned Government corporation (as defined in 
                        section 9101(3) of Title 31) which is 
                        specifically exempted by law from compliance 
                        with any or all of the provisions of chapter 91 
                        of Title 31, as of December 12, 1985; or
                            (B) the outlays resulting therefrom consist 
                        exclusively of the proceeds of gifts or bequests 
                        made to the United States for a specific 
                        purpose. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title IV, Sec. 401,

                        incurred in carrying out such bill or resolution 
                        in the fiscal year in which it is to become 
                        effective and in each of the 4 fiscal years 
                        following such fiscal year, together with the 
                        basis for each such estimate;
                            (2) a comparison of the estimates of costs

                        resolution and usable for activities of State, 
                        local, or tribal governments subject to the 
                        Federal intergovernmental mandates;
                            (B) a statement of whether the committee 
                        intends that the Federal intergovernmental 
                        mandates be partly or entirely unfunded, and if 
                        so, the reasons for that intention; and
                            (C) if funded in whole or in part, a 
                        statement of whether and how the committee has 
                        created a mechanism to allocate the funding in a 
                        manner that is reasonably consistent with the 
                        expected direct costs among and between the 
                        respective levels of State, local, and tribal 
                        government; and
                            (2) any existing sources of Federal 
                        assistance in addition to those identified in 
                        paragraph (1) that may assist State, local, and 
                        tribal governments in meeting the direct costs 
                        of the Federal intergovernmental mandates; and
                            (3) if the bill or joint resolution would 
                        make the reduction specified in section 
                        658(5)(B)(i)(II) of this title, a statement of 
                        how the committee specifically intends the 
                        States to implement the reduction and to what 
                        extent the legislation provides additional 
                        flexibility, if any, to offset the reduction.
            (e) Preemption clarification and information
                When a committee of authorization of the Senate or the 
            House of Representatives reports a bill or joint resolution 
            of public character, the committee report accompanying the 
            bill or joint resolution shall contain, if relevant to the 
            bill or joint resolution, an explicit statement on the 
            extent to which the bill or joint resolution is intended to 
            preempt any State, local, or tribal law, and, if so, an 
            explanation of the effect of such preemption.
            (f) Publication of statement from the Director
                (1) In general
                            Upon receiving a statement from the Director 
                        under section 658c of this title, a committee of 
                        the Senate or the House of Representatives shall 
                        publish the statement in the committee report 
                        accompanying the bill or joint resolution to 
                        which the statement relates if the statement is 
                        available at the time the report is printed.
                (2) Other publication of statement of Director
                            If the statement is not published in the 
                        report, or if the bill or joint resolution to 
                        which the statement relates is expected to be 
                        considered by the Senate or the House of 
                        Representatives before the report is published, 
                        the committee shall cause the statement, or a 
                        summary thereof, to be published in the 
                        Congressional Record in advance of floor 
                        consideration of the bill or joint resolution.

                joint resolutions.
            (a) Federal intergovernmental mandates in reported bills and 
                resolutions
                For each bill or joint resolution of a public character 
            reported by any committee of authorization of the Senate or 
            the House of Representatives, the Director of the 
            Congressional Budget Office shall prepare and submit to the 
            committee a statement as follows:
                            (1) Contents

                                If the Director estimates that the 
                            direct cost of all Federal intergovernmental 
                            mandates in the bill or joint resolution 
                            will equal or exceed $50,000,000 (adjusted 
                            annually for inflation) in the fiscal year 
                            in which any Federal intergovernmental 
                            mandate in the bill or joint resolution (or 
                            in any necessary implementing regulation) 
                            would first be effective or in any of the 4 
                            fiscal years following such fiscal year, the 
                            Director shall so state, specify the 
                            estimate, and briefly explain the basis of 
                            the estimate.

                            (2) Estimates

                                Estimates required under paragraph (1) 
                            shall include estimates (and brief 
                            explanations of the basis of the estimates) 
                            of--

                                        (A) the total amount of direct 
                                    cost of complying with the Federal 
                                    intergovernmental mandates in the 
                                    bill or joint resolution;

                                        (B) if the bill or resolution 
                                    contains an authorization of 
                                    appropriations under section 
                                    658d(a)(2)(B) of this title, the 
                                    amount of new budget authority for 
                                    each fiscal year for a period not to 
                                    exceed 10 years beyond the effective 
                                    date necessary for the direct cost 
                                    of the intergovernmental mandate; 
                                    and

                                        (C) the amount, if any, of 
                                    increase in authorization of 
                                    appropriations under existing 
                                    Federal financial assistance 
                                    programs, or of authorization of 
                                    appropriations for new Federal 
                                    financial assistance, provided by 
                                    the bill or joint resolution and 
                                    usable by State, local, or tribal 
                                    governments for activities subject 
                                    to the Federal intergovernmental 
                                    mandates.

                            (3) Additional flexibility information

                                The Director shall include in the 
                            statement submitted under this subsection, 
                            in the case of legislation that makes 
                            changes as described in section 
                            658(5)(B)(i)(II) of this title--

                                        (A) if no additional flexibility 
                                    is provided in the legislation, a 
                                    description of whether and how the 
                                    States can offset the reduction 
                                    under existing law; or

                                        (B) if additional flexibility is 
                                    provided in the legislation, whether 
                                    the resulting savings would offset 
                                    the reductions in that program 
                                    assuming the States fully implement 
                                    that additional flexibility.

                            (4) Estimate not feasible

                                If the Director determines that it is 
                            not feasible to make a reasonable estimate 
                            that would be required under paragraphs (1) 
                            and (2), the Director shall not make the 
                            estimate, but shall report in the statement 
                            that the reasonable estimate cannot be made 
                            and shall include the reasons for that 
                            determination in the statement. If such 
                            determination is made by the Director, a 
                            point of order under this part shall lie 
                            only under section 658d(a)(1) of this title 
                            and as if the requirement of section 
                            658d(a)(1) of this title had not been met.

            (b) Federal private sector mandates in reported bills and 
                joint resolutions
                For each bill or joint resolution of a public character 
            reported by any committee of authorization of the Senate or 
            the House of Representatives, the Director of the 
            Congressional Budget Office shall prepare and submit to the 
            committee a statement as follows:
                            (1) Contents

                                If the Director estimates that the 
                            direct cost of any Federal private sector 
                            mandates in the bill or joint resolution 
                            will equal or exceed $100,000,000 (adjusted 
                            annually for inflation) in the fiscal year 
                            in which any Federal private sector mandate 
                            in the bill or joint resolution (or in any 
                            necessary implementing regulation) would 
                            first be effective or in any of the 4 fiscal 
                            years following such fiscal year, the 
                            Director shall so state, specify the 
                            estimate, and briefly explain the basis of 
                            the estimate.

                            (2) Estimates

                                Estimates required under paragraph (1) 
                            shall include estimates (and a brief 
                            explanation of the basis of the estimates) 
                            of--

                                        (A) the total amount of direct 
                                    costs of complying with the Federal 
                                    private sector mandates in the bill 
                                    or joint resolution; and

                                        (B) the amount, if any, of 
                                    increase in authorization of 
                                    appropriations under existing 
                                    Federal financial assistance 
                                    programs, or of authorization of 
                                    appropriations for new Federal 
                                    financial assistance, provided by 
                                    the bill or joint resolution usable 
                                    by the private sector for the 
                                    activities subject to the Federal 
                                    private sector mandates.

                            (3) Estimate not feasible

                                If the Director determines that it is 
                            not feasible to make a reasonable estimate 
                            that would be required under paragraphs (1) 
                            and (2), the Director shall not make the 
                            estimate, but shall report in the statement 
                            that the reasonable estimate cannot be made 
                            and shall include the reasons for that 
                            determination in the statement.

            (c) Legislation failing below the direct costs thresholds
                If the Director estimates that the direct costs of a 
            Federal mandate will not equal or exceed the thresholds 
            specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the 
            Director shall so state and shall briefly explain the basis 
            of the estimate.
            (d) Amended bills and joint resolutions; conference reports
                If a bill or joint resolution is passed in an amended 
            form (including if passed by one House as an amendment in 
            the nature of a substitute for the text of a bill or joint 
            resolution from the other House) or is reported by a 
            committee of conference in amended form, and the amended 
            form contains a Federal mandate not previously considered by 
            either House or which contains an increase in the direct 
            cost of a previously considered Federal mandate, then the 
            committee of conference shall ensure, to the greatest extent 
            practicable, that the Director shall prepare a statement as 
            provided in this subsection or a supplemental statement for 
            the bill or joint resolution in that amended form. (Pub.L.

            (a) In general
                It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of 
            Representatives to consider--
                            (1) any bill or joint resolution that is 
                        reported by a committee unless the committee has 
                        published a statement of the Director on the 
                        direct costs of Federal mandates in accordance

                                    are insufficient appropriations for 
                                    that fiscal year to provide for the 
                                    direct costs under clause (i) of 
                                    such mandate, and shall (no later

                                            based on a re-estimate of 
                                            the direct costs of such 
                                            mandate, after consultation

                                            sufficient to pay for the 
                                            direct costs of such 
                                            mandate; or

                                    recommendations referred to in 
                                    subclause (I) by Congress no later 
                                    than 30 days after the statement or 
                                    recommendations are submitted to 
                                    Congress; and

                                    shall--

                                            unless Congress has approved 
                                            the agency's determination 
                                            by joint resolution during 
                                            the 60-day period;

                                            otherwise by law; or
                                                (cc) in the case that 
                                            such mandate that has not 
                                            yet taken effect, continue 
                                            not to be effective unless

       475  Sec. 658g. Clarification of application.
            (a) In general
                This part applies to any bill, joint resolution, 
            amendment, motion, or conference report that reauthorizes 
            appropriations, or that amends existing authorizations of 
            appropriations, to carry out any statute, or that otherwise 
            amends any statute, only if enactment of the bill, joint 
            resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report--
                            (1) would result in a net reduction in or 
                        elimination of authorization of appropriations 
                        for Federal financial assistance that would be 
                        provided to State, local, or tribal governments 
                        for use for the purpose of complying with any 
                        Federal intergovernmental mandate, or to the 
                        private sector for use to comply with any 
                        Federal private sector mandate, and would not 
                        eliminate or reduce duties established by the 
                        Federal mandate by a corresponding amount; or
                            (2) would result in a net increase in the 
                        aggregate amount of direct costs of Federal 
                        intergovernmental mandates or Federal private 
                        sector mandates other than as described in 
                        paragraph (1).
            (b) Direct costs
                (1) In general
                            For purposes of this part, the direct cost 
                        of the Federal mandates in a bill, joint 
                        resolution, amendment, motion, or conference 
                        report that reauthorizes appropriations, or that 
                        amends existing authorizations of 
                        appropriations, to carry out a statute, or that 
                        otherwise amends any statute, means the net 
                        increase, resulting from enactment of the bill, 
                        joint resolution, amendment, motion, or 
                        conference report, in the amount described under 
                        paragraph (2)(A) over the amount described under 
                        paragraph (2)(B).
                (2) Amounts
                            The amounts referred to under paragraph (1) 
                        are--

                                (A) the aggregate amount of direct costs 
                            of Federal mandates that would result under 
                            the statute if the bill, joint resolution, 
                            amendment, motion, or conference report is 
                            enacted; and

                                (B) the aggregate amount of direct costs 
                            of Federal mandates that would result under 
                            the statute if the bill, joint resolution, 
                            amendment, motion, or conference report were 
                            not enacted.

                (3) Extension of authorization of appropriations
                            For purposes of this section, in the case of 
                        legislation to extend authorization of 
                        appropriations, the authorization level that 
                        would be provided by the extension shall be 
                        compared to the authorization level for the last 
                        year in which authorization of appropriations is 
                        already provided. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title IV, 
                        Sec. 428, as added Pub.L. 104-4, Title I,

       476  Sec. 661. Purposes.
                The purposes of this subchapter are to--
                            (1) measure more accurately the costs of 
                        Federal credit programs;
                            (2) place the cost of credit programs on a 
                        budgetary basis equivalent to other Federal 
                        spending;
                            (3) encourage the delivery of benefits in 
                        the form most appropriate to the needs of 
                        beneficiaries; and
                            (4) improve the allocation of resources 
                        among credit programs and between credit and 
                        other spending programs. (Pub L. 93-344, Title 
                        V, Sec. 501, as added Pub.L. 101-508, Title

                For purposes of this subchapter--
                            (1) The term ``direct loan'' means a 
                        disbursement of funds by the Government to a 
                        non-Federal borrower under a contract that 
                        requires the repayment of such funds with or 
                        without interest. The term includes the purchase 
                        of, or participation in, a loan made by another 
                        lender and financing arrangements that defer 
                        payment for more than 90 days, including the 
                        sale of a government asset on credit terms. The 
                        term does not include the acquisition of a 
                        federally guaranteed loan in satisfaction of 
                        default claims or the price support loans of the 
                        Commodity Credit Corporation.
                            (2) The term ``direct loan obligation'' 
                        means a binding agreement by a Federal agency to 
                        make a direct loan when specified conditions are 
                        fulfilled by the borrower.
                            (3) The term ``loan guarantee'' means any 
                        guarantee, insurance, or other pledge with 
                        respect to the payment of all or a part of the 
                        principal or interest on any debt obligation of 
                        a non-Federal borrower to a non-Federal lender, 
                        but does not include the insurance of deposits, 
                        shares, or other withdrawable accounts in 
                        financial institutions.
                            (4) The term ``loan guarantee commitment'' 
                        means a binding agreement by a Federal agency to 
                        make a loan guarantee when specified conditions 
                        are fulfilled by the borrower, the lender, or 
                        any other party to the guarantee agreement.
                            (5)(A) The term ``cost'' means the estimated 
                        long-term cost to the Government of a direct 
                        loan or loan guarantee or modification thereof, 
                        calculated on a net present basis, excluding 
                        administrative costs and any incidental effects 
                        on governmental receipts or outlays.
                            (B) The cost of a direct loan shall be the 
                        net present value, at the time when the direct 
                        loan is disbursed, of the following estimated 
                        cash flows:

                                (i) loan disbursements;

                                (ii) repayments of principal; and

                            life of the loan after adjusting for 
                            estimated defaults, prepayments, fees, 
                            penalties, and other recoveries;

                    including the effects of changes in loan terms 
                    resulting from the exercise by the borrower of an 
                    option included in the loan contract.
                            (C) The cost of a loan guarantee shall be 
                        the net present value, at the time when the 
                        guaranteed loan is disbursed, of the following 
                        estimated cash flows:

                                (i) payments by the Government to cover 
                            defaults and delinquencies, interest 
                            subsidies, or other payments; and

                                (ii) payments to the Government 
                            including origination and other fees, 
                            penalties and recoveries;

                    including the effects of changes in loan terms 
                    resulting from the exercise by the guaranteed lender 
                    of an option included in the loan guarantee 
                    contract, or by the borrower of an option included 
                    in the guaranteed loan contract.
                            (D) The cost of a modification is the 
                        difference between the current estimate of the 
                        net present value of the remaining cash flows 
                        under the terms of a direct loan or loan 
                        guarantee contract, and the current estimate of 
                        the net present value of the remaining cash 
                        flows under the terms of the contract, as 
                        modified.
                            (E) In estimating net present values, the 
                        discount rate shall be the average interest rate 
                        on marketable Treasury securities of similar 
                        maturity to the cash flows of the direct loan or 
                        loan guarantee for which the estimate is being 
                        made.
                            (F) When funds are obligated for a direct 
                        loan or loan guarantee, the estimated cost shall 
                        be based on the current assumptions, adjusted to 
                        incorporate the terms of the loan contract, for 
                        the fiscal year in which the funds are 
                        obligated.

                        means the budget account into which an 
                        appropriation to cover the cost of a direct loan 
                        or loan guarantee program is made and from which 
                        such cost is disbursed to the financing account.
                            (7) The term ``financing account'' means the 
                        non-budget account or accounts associated with 
                        each credit program account which holds 
                        balances, receives the cost payment from the 
                        credit program account, and also includes all 
                        other cash flows to and from the Government 
                        resulting from direct loan obligations or loan 
                        guarantee commitments made on or after October 
                        1, 1991.
                            (8) The term ``liquidating account'' means 
                        the budget account that includes all cash flows 
                        to and from the Government resulting from direct 
                        loan obligations or loan guarantee commitments 
                        made prior to October 1, 1991.
                These accounts shall be shown in the budget on a cash 
            basis.
                            (9) The term ``modification'' means any 
                        Government action that alters the estimated cost 
                        of an outstanding direct loan (or direct loan 
                        obligation) or an outstanding loan guarantee (or 
                        loan guarantee commitment) from the current 
                        estimate of cash flows. This includes the sale 
                        of loan assets, with or without recourse, and 
                        the purchase of guaranteed loans. This also 
                        includes any action resulting from new 
                        legislation, or from the exercise of 
                        administrative discretion under existing law, 
                        that directly or indirectly alters the estimated 
                        cost of outstanding direct loans (or direct loan 
                        obligations) or loan guarantees (or loan 
                        guarantee commitments) such as a change in 
                        collection procedures.
                            (10) The term ``current'' has the same 
                        meaning as in section 900(c)(9) of this title.
                            (11) The term ``Director'' means the 
                        Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

            consistent with the definitions in this subchapter.
            (c) Coordination with the Congressional Budget Office
                In developing estimation guidelines, regulations, or 
            criteria to be used by Federal agencies, the Director shall 
            consult with the Director of the Congressional Budget 
            Office.
            (d) Improving cost estimates
                The Director and the Director of the Congressional 
            Budget Office shall coordinate the development of more 
            accurate data on historical performance of direct loan and 
            loan guarantee programs. They shall annually review the 
            performance of outstanding direct loans and loan guarantees 
            to improve estimates of costs. The Office of Management and 
            Budget and the Congressional Budget Office shall have access 
            to all agency data that may facilitate the development and 
            improvement of estimates of costs.
            (e) Historical credit program costs
                The Director shall review, to the extent possible, 
            historical data and develop the best possible estimates of 
            adjustments that would convert aggregate historical budget 
            data to credit reform accounting.
            (f) Administrative costs
                The Director and the Director of the Congressional 
            Budget Office shall each analyze and report to Congress on 
            differences in long-term administrative costs for credit 
            programs versus grant programs by January 31, 1992. Their 
            reports shall recommend to Congress any changes, if 
            necessary, in the treatment of administrative costs under 
            credit reform accounting. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title V, Sec. 503, 
            as added Pub.L. 101-508, Title XIII, Sec. 13201(a), Nov. 5, 
            1990, 104 Stat. 1388-611.)
       479  Sec. 661c. Budgetary treatment.
            (a) President's budget
                Beginning with fiscal year 1992, the President's budget 
            shall reflect the costs of direct loan and loan guarantee 
            programs. The budget shall also include the planned level of 
            new direct loan obligations or loan guarantee commitments 
            associated with each appropriations request.
            (b) Appropriations required
                Notwithstanding any other provision of law, new direct 
            loan obligations may be incurred and new loan guarantee 
            commitments may be made for fiscal year 1992 and thereafter 
            only to the extent that--
                            (1) new budget authority to cover their 
                        costs is provided in advance in an 
                        appropriations Act;
                            (2) a limitation on the use of funds 
                        otherwise available for the cost of a direct 
                        loan or loan guarantee program has been provided 
                        in advance in an appropriations Act; or
                            (3) authority is otherwise provided in 
                        appropriation Acts.
            (c) Exemption for mandatory programs
                Subsections (b) and (e) of this section shall not apply 
            to a direct loan or loan guarantee program that--
                            (1) constitutes an entitlement (such as the 
                        guaranteed student loan program or the veterans' 
                        home loan guaranty program); or
                            (2) all existing credit programs of the 
                        Commodity Credit Corporation on November 5, 
                        1990.
            (d) Budget accounting
                (1) The authority to incur new direct loan obligations, 
            make new loan guarantee commitments, or modify outstanding 
            direct loans (or direct loan obligations) or loan guarantees 
            (or loan guarantee commitments) shall constitute new budget 
            authority in an amount equal to the cost of the direct loan 
            or loan guarantee in the fiscal year in which definite 
            authority becomes available or indefinite authority is used. 
            Such budget authority shall constitute an obligation of the 
            credit program account to pay to the financing account.
                (2) The outlays resulting from new budget authority for 
            the cost of direct loans or loan guarantees described in 
            paragraph (1) shall be paid from the credit program account 
            into the financing account and recorded in the fiscal year 
            in which the direct loan or the guaranteed loan is disbursed 
            or its costs altered.
                (3) All collections and payments of the financing 
            accounts shall be a means of financing.
            (e) Modifications
                An outstanding direct loan (or direct loan obligation) 
            or loan guarantee (or loan guarantee commitment) shall not 
            be modified in a manner that increases its costs unless 
            budget authority for the additional cost has been provided 
            in advance in an appropriations Act.
            (f) Reestimates
                When the estimated cost for a group of direct loans or 
            loan guarantees for a given credit program made in a single 
            fiscal year is reestimated in a subsequent year, the 
            difference between the reestimated cost and the previous 
            cost estimate shall be displayed as a distinct and 
            separately identified subaccount in the credit program 
            account as a change in program costs and a change in net 
            interest. There is hereby provided permanent indefinite 
            authority for these reestimates.
            (g) Administrative expenses
                All funding for an agency's administration of a direct 
            loan or loan guarantee program shall be displayed as 
            distinct and separately identified subaccounts within the 
            same budget account as the program's cost. (Pub.L. 93-344, 
            Title V, Sec. 504, as added Pub.L. 101-508, Title XIII, 
            Sec. 13201(a), Nov. 5, 1990, 104 Stat. 1388-612, and amended 
            Pub.L. 105-33, Title X, Sec. 10117(b), Aug. 5, 1997, 111 
            Stat. 693.)
       480  Sec. 661d. Authorizations.
            (a) Authorization of appropriations for costs
                There are authorized to be appropriated to each Federal 
            agency authorized to make direct loan obligations or loan 
            guarantee commitments, such sums as may be necessary to pay 
            the cost associated with such direct loan obligations or 
            loan guarantee commitments.
            (b) Authorization for financing accounts
                In order to implement the accounting required by this 
            subchapter, the President is authorized to establish such 
            non-budgetary accounts as may be appropriate.
            (c) Treasury transactions with the financing accounts
                The Secretary of the Treasury shall borrow from, receive 
            from, lend to, or pay to the financing accounts such amounts 
            as may be appropriate. The Secretary of the Treasury may 
            prescribe forms and denominations, maturities, and terms and 
            conditions for the transactions described above, except that 
            the rate of interest charged by the Secretary on lending to 
            financing accounts (including amounts treated as lending to 
            financing accounts by the Federal Financing Bank 
            (hereinafter in this subsection referred to as the ``Bank'') 
            pursuant to section 655(b) of this title) and the rate of 
            interest paid to financing accounts on uninvested balances 
            in financing accounts shall be the same as the rate 
            determined pursuant to section 661a(5)(E) of this title. For 
            guaranteed loans financed by the Bank and treated as direct 
            loans by a Federal agency pursuant to section 655(b) of this 
            title, any fee or interest surcharge (the amount by which 
            the interest rate charged exceeds the rate determined 
            pursuant to section 661a(5)(E) of this title) that the Bank 
            charges to a private borrower pursuant to section 6(c) of 
            the Federal Financing Bank Act of 1973 shall be considered a 
            cash flow to the Government for the purposes of determining 
            the cost of the direct loan pursuant to section 661a(5) of 
            this title. All such amounts shall be credited to the 
            appropriate financing account. The Bank is authorized to 
            require reimbursement from a Federal agency to cover the 
            administrative expenses of the Bank that are attributable to 
            the direct loans financed for that agency. All such payments 
            by an agency shall be considered administrative expenses 
            subject to section 661c(g) of this title. This subsection 
            shall apply to transactions related to direct loan 
            obligations or loan guarantee commitments made on or after 
            October 1, 1991. The authorities described above shall not 
            be construed to supersede or override the authority of the 
            head of a Federal agency to administer and operate a direct 
            loan or loan guarantee program. All of the transactions 
            provided in this subsection shall be subject to the 
            provisions of subchapter II of chapter 15 of Title 31 [31 
            U.S.C. 1511 et seq.]. Cash balances of the financing 
            accounts in excess of current requirements shall be 
            maintained in a form of uninvested funds and the Secretary 
            of the Treasury shall pay interest on these funds.
            (d) Authorization for liquidating accounts
                (1) Amounts in liquidating accounts shall be available 
            only for payments resulting from direct loan obligations or 
            loan guarantee commitments made prior to October 1, 1991, 
            for--
                            (A) interest payments and principal 
                        repayments to the Treasury or the Federal 
                        Financing Bank for amounts borrowed;
                            (B) disbursements of loans;
                            (C) default and other guarantee claim 
                        payments;
                            (D) interest supplement payments;
                            (E) payments for the costs of foreclosing, 
                        managing, and selling collateral that are 
                        capitalized or routinely deducted from the 
                        proceeds of sales;
                            (F) payments to financing accounts when 
                        required for modifications;
                            (G) administrative expenses, if--

                                (i) amounts credited to the liquidating 
                            account would have been available for 
                            administrative expenses under a provision of 
                            law in effect prior to October 1, 1991; and

                                (ii) no direct loan obligation or loan 
                            guarantee commitment has been made, or any 
                            modification of a direct loan or loan 
                            guarantee has been made, since September 30, 
                            1991; or

                            (H) such other payments as are necessary for 
                        the liquidation of such direct loan obligations 
                        and loan guarantee commitments.
                (2) Amounts credited to liquidating accounts in any year 
            shall be available only for payments required in that year. 
            Any unobligated balances in liquidating accounts at the end 
            of a fiscal year shall be transferred to miscellaneous 
            receipts as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal 
            year.
                (3) If funds in liquidating accounts are insufficient to 
            satisfy obligations and commitments of such accounts, there 
            is hereby provided permanent, indefinite authority to make 
            any payments required to be made on such obligations and 
            commitments.
            (e) Authorization of appropriations for implementation 
                expenses
                There are authorized to be appropriated to existing 
            accounts such sums as may be necessary for salaries and 
            expenses to carry out the responsibilities under this 
            subchapter.
            (f) Reinsurance
                Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as 
            authorizing or requiring the purchase of insurance or 
            reinsurance on a direct loan or loan guarantee from private 
            insurers. If any such reinsurance for a direct loan or loan 
            guarantee is authorized, the cost of such insurance and any 
            recoveries to the Government shall be included in the 
            calculation of the cost.
            (g) Eligibility and assistance
                Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to change 
            the authority or the responsibility of a Federal agency to 
            determine the terms and conditions of eligibility for, or 
            the amount of assistance provided by a direct loan or a loan 
            guarantee. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title V, Sec. 505, as added 
            Pub.L. 101-508, Title XIII, Sec. 13201(a), Nov. 5, 1990, 104

       481  Sec. 661e. Treatment of deposit insurance and agencies and 
                other insurance programs.
            (a) In general
                This subchapter shall not apply to the credit or 
            insurance activities of the Federal Deposit Insurance 
            Corporation, National Credit Union Administration, 
            Resolution Trust Corporation, Pension Benefit Guaranty 
            Corporation, National Flood Insurance, National Insurance 
            Development Fund, Crop Insurance, or Tennessee Valley 
            Authority.
            (b) Study
                The Director and the Director of the Congressional 
            Budget Office shall each study whether the accounting for 
            Federal deposit insurance programs should be on a cash basis 
            on the same basis as loan guarantees, or on a different 
            basis. Each Director shall report findings and 
            recommendations to the President and the Congress on or 
            before May 31, 1991.
            (c) Access to data
                For the purposes of subsection (b) of this section, the 
            Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget 
            Office shall have access to all agency data that may 
            facilitate these studies. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title V, Sec. 506, 
            as added Pub.L. 101-508, Title XIII, Sec. 13201(a), Nov. 5,

       482  Sec. 661f. Effect on other laws.
            (a) Effect on other laws
                This subchapter shall supersede, modify, or repeal any 
            provision of law enacted prior to November 5, 1990 to the 
            extent such provision is inconsistent with this subchapter. 
            Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to establish a 
            credit limitation on any Federal loan or loan guarantee 
            program.
            (b) Crediting of collections
                Collections resulting from direct loans obligated or 
            loan guarantees committed prior to October 1, 1991, shall be 
            credited to the liquidating accounts of Federal agencies. 
            Amounts so credited shall be available, to the same extent 
            that they were available prior to November 5, 1990, to 
            liquidate obligations arising from such direct loans 
            obligated or loan guarantees committed prior to October 1, 
            1991, including repayment of any obligations held by the 
            Secretary of the Treasury or the Federal Financing Bank. The 
            unobligated balances of such accounts that are in excess of 
            current needs shall be transferred to the general fund of 
            the Treasury. Such transfers shall be made from time to time 
            but, at least once each year. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title V,

                        days on which either House is not in session 
                        because of an adjournment of more than 3 days to

                        sine die before the expiration of 45 calendar 
                        days of continuous session (or a special message

                        Congress adjourns sine die), the message shall 
                        be deemed to have been retransmitted on the

            any budget authority will not be required to carry out the 
            full objectives or scope of programs for which it is 
            provided or that such budget authority should be rescinded 
            for fiscal policy or other reasons (including the 
            termination of authorized projects or activities for which 
            budget authority has been provided), or whenever all or part 
            of budget authority provided for only one fiscal year is to 
            be reserved from obligation for such fiscal year, the 
            President shall transmit to both Houses of Congress a 
            special message specifying--

                        reserved;

                        establishment of the Government to which such 
                        budget authority is available for obligation, 
                        and the specific project or governmental 
                        functions involved;
                            (3) the reasons why the budget authority 
                        should be rescinded or is to be so reserved;
                            (4) to the maximum extent practicable, the 
                        estimated fiscal, economic, and budgetary effect 
                        of the proposed rescission or of the 
                        reservation; and
                            (5) all facts, circumstances, and 
                        considerations relating to or bearing upon the 
                        proposed rescission or the reservation and the 
                        decision to effect the proposed rescission or 
                        the reservation, and to the maximum extent 
                        practicable, the estimated effect of the 
                        proposed rescission or the reservation upon the 
                        objects, purposes, and programs for which the 
                        budget authority is provided.
            (b) Requirement to make available for obligation
                Any amount of budget authority proposed to be rescinded 
            or that is to be reserved as set forth in such special 
            message shall be made available for obligation unless, 
            within the prescribed 45-day period, the Congress has 
            completed action on a rescission bill rescinding all or part 
            of the amount proposed to be rescinded or that is to be 
            reserved. Funds made available for obligation under this 
            procedure may not be proposed for rescission again.

            of the United States, or any officer or employee of the 
            United States proposes to defer any budget authority 
            provided for a specific purpose or project, the President 
            shall transmit to the House of Representatives and the 
            Senate a special message specifying--
                            (1) the amount of the budget authority 
                        proposed to be deferred;
                            (2) any account, department, or 
                        establishment of the Government to which such 
                        budget authority is available for obligation, 
                        and the specific projects or governmental

                            (3) the period of time during which the

                            (5) to the maximum extent practicable, the 
                        estimated fiscal, economic, and budgetary effect 
                        of the proposed deferral; and
                            (6) all facts, circumstances, and 
                        considerations relating to or bearing upon the 
                        proposed deferral and the decision to effect the

                        facts, circumstances, and considerations in 
                        terms of their application to any legal 
                        authority, including specific elements of legal 
                        authority, invoked to justify such proposed

                A special message may include one or more proposed 
            deferrals of budget authority. A deferral may not be 
            proposed for any period of time extending beyond the end of 
            the fiscal year in which the special message proposing the 
            deferral is transmitted to the House and the Senate.
            (b) Consistency with legislative policy
                Deferrals shall be permissible only--
                            (1) to provide for contingencies;
                            (2) to achieve savings made possible by or 
                        through changes in requirements or greater 
                        efficiency of operations; or
                            (3) as specifically provided by law.
                No officer or employee of the United States may defer 
            any budget authority for any other purpose.
            (c) Exception
                The provisions of this section do not apply to any 
            budget authority proposed to be rescinded or that is to be 
            reserved as set forth in a special message required to be

       494  Sec. 686. Reports by Comptroller General.
            (a) Failure to transmit special message
                If the Comptroller General finds that the President, the 
            Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the head of 
            any department or agency of the United States, or any other 
            officer or employee of the United States--
                            (1) is to establish a reserve or proposes to 
                        defer budget authority with respect to which the 
                        President is required to transmit a special 
                        message under section 683 or 684 of this title; 
                        or
                            (2) has ordered, permitted, or approved the 
                        establishment of such a reserve or a deferral of 
                        budget authority;

            and that the President has failed to transmit a special 
            message with respect to such reserve or deferral, the 
            Comptroller General shall make a report on such reserve or 
            deferral and any available information concerning it to both 
            Houses of Congress. The provisions of sections 682 to 688 of 
            this title shall apply with respect to such reserve or 
            deferral in the same manner and with the same effect as if 
            such report of the Comptroller General were a special 
            message transmitted by the President under section 683 or 
            684 of this title, and, for purposes of sections 682 to 688 
            of this title, such report shall be considered a special 
            message transmitted under section 683 or 684 of this title.

            (b) Incorrect classification of special message
                If the President has transmitted a special message to 
            both Houses of Congress in accordance with section 683 or 
            684 of this title, and the Comptroller General believes that 
            the President so transmitted the special message in 
            accordance with one of those sections when the special 
            message should have been transmitted in accordance with the 
            other of those sections, the Comptroller General shall make 
            a report to both Houses of the Congress setting forth his 
            reasons. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title X, Sec. 1015, July 12, 1974, 
            88 Stat. 336.)
       495  Sec. 687. Suits by Comptroller General.
                If, under this chapter, budget authority is required to 
            be made available for obligation and such budget authority 
            is not made available for obligation, the Comptroller 
            General is hereby expressly empowered, through attorneys of 
            his own selection, to bring a civil action in the United 
            States District Court for the District of Columbia to 
            require such budget authority to be made available for 
            obligation, and such court is hereby expressly empowered to 
            enter in such civil action, against any department, agency, 
            officer, or employee of the United States, any decree, 
            judgment, or order which may be necessary or appropriate to 
            make such budget authority available for obligation. No 
            civil action shall be brought by the Comptroller General 
            under this section until the expiration of 25 calendar days 
            of continuous session of the Congress following the date on 
            which an explanatory statement by the Comptroller General of 
            the circumstances giving rise to the action contemplated has 
            been filed with the Speaker of the House of Representatives 
            and the President of the Senate. (Pub.L. 93-344, Title X, 
            Sec. 1016, July 12, 1974, 88 Stat. 336; Pub.L. 98-620, Title 
            IV, Sec. 402(35), Nov. 8, 1984, 98 Stat. 3360; Pub.L. 100-
            119, Title II, Sec. 206(b), Sept. 29, 1987, 101 Stat. 786.)
       496  Sec. 688. Procedure in House of Representatives and Senate.
            (a) Referral
                Any rescission bill introduced with respect to a special 
            message or impoundment resolution introduced with respect to 
            a proposed deferral of budget authority shall be referred to 
            the appropriate committee of the House of Representatives or 
            the Senate, as the case may be.
            (b) Discharge of committee
                (1) If the committee to which a rescission bill or 
            impoundment resolution has been referred has not reported it 
            at the end of 25 calendar days of continuous session of the 
            Congress after its introduction, it is in order to move 
            either to discharge the committee from further consideration 
            of the bill or resolution or to discharge the committee from 
            further consideration of any other rescission bill with 
            respect to the same special message or impoundment 
            resolution with respect to the same proposed deferral, as 
            the case may be, which has been referred to the committee.
                (2) A motion to discharge may be made only by an 
            individual favoring the bill or resolution, may be made only 
            if supported by one-fifth of the Members of the House 
            involved (a quorum being present), and is highly privileged 
            in the House and privileged in the Senate (except that it 
            may not be made after the committee has reported a bill or 
            resolution with respect to the same special message or the 
            same proposed deferral, as the case may be); and debate 
            thereon shall be limited to not more than 1 hour, the time 
            to be divided in the House equally between those favoring 
            and those opposing the bill or resolution, and to be divided 
            in the Senate equally between, and controlled by, the 
            majority leader and the minority leader or their designees. 
            An amendment to the motion is not in order, and it is not in 
            order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is 
            agreed to or disagreed to.
            (c) Floor consideration in the House
                (1) When the committee of the House of Representatives 
            has reported, or has been discharged from further 
            consideration of, a rescission bill or impoundment 
            resolution, it shall at any time thereafter be in order 
            (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been 
            disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the 
            bill or resolution. The motion shall be highly privileged 
            and not debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be 
            in order, nor shall it be in order to move to reconsider the 
            vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.
                (2) Debate on a rescission bill or impoundment 
            resolution shall be limited to not more than 2 hours, which 
            shall be divided equally between those favoring and those 
            opposing the bill or resolution. A motion further to limit 
            debate shall not be debatable. In the case of an impoundment 
            resolution, no amendment to, or motion to recommit, the 
            resolution shall be in order. It shall not be in order to 
            move to reconsider the vote by which a rescission bill or 
            impoundment resolution is agreed to or disagreed to.
                (3) Motions to postpone, made with respect to the 
            consideration of a rescission bill or impoundment 
            resolution, and motions to proceed to the consideration of 
            other business, shall be decided without debate.
                (4) All appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating 
            to the application of the Rules of the House of 
            Representatives to the procedure relating to any rescission 
            bill or impoundment resolution shall be decided without 
            debate.
                (5) Except to the extent specifically provided in the 
            preceding provisions of this subsection, consideration of 
            any rescission bill or impoundment resolution and amendments 
            thereto (or any conference report thereon) shall be governed 
            by the Rules of the House of Representatives applicable to 
            other bills and resolutions, amendments, and conference 
            reports in similar circumstances.
            (d) Floor consideration in the Senate
                (1) Debate in the Senate on any rescission bill or 
            impoundment resolution, and all amendments thereto (in the 
            case of a rescission bill) and debatable motions and appeals 
            in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 
            10 hours. The time shall be equally divided between, and 
            controlled by, the majority leader and the minority leader 
            or their designees.
                (2) Debate in the Senate on any amendment to a 
            rescission bill shall be limited to 2 hours, to be equally 
            divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the 
            manager of the bill. Debate on any amendment to an 
            amendment, to such a bill, and debate on any debatable 
            motion or appeal in connection with such a bill or an 
            impoundment resolution shall be limited to 1 hour, to be 
            equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and 
            the manager of the bill or resolution, except that in the 
            event the manager of the bill or resolution is in favor of 
            any such amendment, motion, or appeal, the time in 
            opposition thereto, shall be controlled by the minority 
            leader or his designee. No amendment that is not germane to 
            the provisions of a rescission bill shall be received. Such 
            leaders, or either of them, may, from the time under their 
            control on the passage of a rescission bill or impoundment 
            resolution, allot additional time to any Senator during the 
            consideration of any amendment, debatable motion, or appeal.
                (3) A motion to further limit debate is not debatable. 
            In the case of a rescission bill, a motion to recommit 
            (except a motion to recommit with instructions to report 
            back within a specified number of days, not to exceed 3, not 
            counting any day on which the Senate is not in session) is 
            not in order. Debate on any such motion to recommit shall be 
            limited to one hour, to be equally divided between, and 
            controlled by, the mover and the manager of the concurrent 
            resolution. In the case of an impoundment resolution, no 
            amendment or motion to recommit is in order.
                (4) The conference report on any rescission bill shall 
            be in order in the Senate at any time after the third day 
            (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) following 
            the day on which such a conference report is reported and is 
            available to Members of the Senate. A motion to proceed to 
            the consideration of the conference report may be made even 
            though a previous motion to the same effect has been 
            disagreed to.
                (5) During the consideration in the Senate of the 
            conference report on any rescission bill, debate shall be 
            limited to 2 hours to be equally divided between, and 
            controlled by, the majority leader and minority leader or 
            their designees. Debate on any debatable motion or appeal 
            related to the conference report shall be limited to 30 
            minutes, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, 
            the mover and the manager of the conference report.
                (6) Should the conference report be defeated, debate on 
            any request for a new conference and the appointment of 
            conferees shall be limited to one hour, to be equally 
            divided between, and controlled by, the manager of the 
            conference report and the minority leader or his designee, 
            and should any motion be made to instruct the conferees 
            before the conferees are named, debate on such motion shall 
            be limited to 30 minutes, to be equally divided between, and 
            controlled by, the mover and the manager of the conference 
            report. Debate on any amendment to any such instructions 
            shall be limited to 20 minutes, to be equally divided 
            between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
            conference report. In all cases when the manager of the 
            conference report is in favor of any motion, appeal, or 
            amendment, the time in opposition shall be under the control 
            of the minority leader or his designee.
                (7) In any case in which there are amendments in 
            disagreement, time on each amendment shall be limited to 30 
            minutes, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, 
            the manager of the conference report and the minority leader 
            or his designee. No amendment that is not germane to the 
            provisions of such amendments shall be received. (Pub.L. 93-
            344, Title X, Sec. 1017, July 12, 1974, 88 Stat. 337.)

                        specifically apply, and such rules shall 
                        supersede other rules only to the extent that 
                        they are inconsistent therewith; and
                            (2) with full recognition of the 
                        constitutional right of either House to change 
                        such rules (so far as relating to such House) at 
                        any time, in the same manner, and to the same

            Referral of matters dealing with rescissions and deferrals.
                On January 30, 1975, the Senate agreed to the following 
            resolution, which provides for the referral of matters 
            dealing with rescissions and deferrals:
                Resolved (1) That messages received pursuant to Title X 
            of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act [2 
            U.S.C. 681-2 U.S.C. 688] be referred concurrently to the 
            Appropriations Committee, to the Budget Committee, and to 
            any other appropriate authorizing committee.
                (2) That bills, resolutions, and joint resolutions 
            introduced with respect to rescissions and deferrals shall 
            be referred to the Appropriations Committee, the Budget 
            Committee, and pending implementation of section 410 of the 
            Congressional Budget Impoundment Control Act [should be 
            section 401, 2 U.S.C. 651] and subject to section 401(d) [2 
            U.S.C. 651(d)], to any other committee exercising 
            jurisdiction over contract and borrowing authority programs 
            as defined by section 401(c)(2) (A) and (B) [2 U.S.C. 
            651(c)(2) (A) and (B)]. The Budget Committee and such other 
            Committees shall report their views, if any, to the 
            Appropriations Committee within 20 days following referral 
            of such bills, resolutions, or joint resolutions. The Budget 
            Committee's consideration shall extend only to macroeconomic 
            implications, impact on priorities and aggregate spending 
            levels, and the legality of the President's use of the 
            deferral and rescissions mechanism under Title X. The 
            Appropriations and authorizing committees shall exercise 
            their normal responsibilities over programs and priorities.
                (3) If any Committee to which a bill or resolution has 
            been referred recommends its passage, the Appropriations 
            Committee shall report that bill or resolution together with 
            its views and reports of the Budget and any appropriate 
            authorizing committees to the Senate within:
                            (A) the time remaining under the Act in the 
                        case of rescissions, or
                            (B) within 20 days in the case of deferrals.
                (4) The 20 day period referred to herein means 20 
            calendar days; and for the purposes of computing the 20 
            days, recesses or adjournments of the Senate for more than 3 
            days to a day certain shall not be counted; and for recesses 
            and adjournments of more than 30 calendar days, continuous 
            duration or the sine die adjournment of a session, the 20 
            day period shall begin anew on the day following the 
            reconvening of the Senate. (S. Res. 45, 94-1, Jan. 30, 1975,

            Budget and the Committee on Governmental Affairs and that, 
            if one committee reports a jointly referred measure, the 
            other must act on the measure within 30 calendar days of 
            continuous possession or be automatically discharged from

                Seventh. The process and determination by which 
            impoundments must be reported to and considered by 
            Congress--as provided in the Impoundment Control Act, Title 
            X [2 U.S.C. 681-688];

            section is authorized to receive public monetary and in-kind 
            contributions, which may be made available to local boards 
            to supplement or defray operating expenses. The Board shall 
            adopt appropriate financial management methods in order to

                        the name ``Congressional Award Program'' in 
                        advertising.

                                   Arts Education

       506  Sec. 811. Findings.
                Congress makes the following findings:
                            (1) Arts literacy is a fundamental purpose 
                        of schooling for all students.
                            (2) Arts education stimulates, develops, and 
                        refines many cognitive and creative skills, 
                        critical thinking and nimbleness in judgment, 
                        creativity and imagination, cooperative 
                        decisionmaking, leadership, high-level literacy 
                        and communication, and the capacity for problem-
                        posing and problem-solving.
                            (3) Arts education contributes significantly 
                        to the creation of flexible, adaptable, and 
                        knowledgeable workers who will be needed in the 
                        21st century economy.
                            (4) Arts education improves teaching and 
                        learning.
                            (5) Where parents and families, artists, 
                        arts organizations, businesses, local civic and 
                        cultural leaders, and institutions are actively 
                        engaged in instructional programs, arts 
                        education is more successful.
                            (6) Effective teachers of the arts should be 
                        encouraged to continue to learn and grow in 
                        mastery of their art form as well as in their 
                        teaching competence.
                            (7) The 1999 study, entitled ``Gaining the 
                        Arts Advantage: Lessons from School Districts 
                        that Value Arts Education'', found that the 
                        literacy, education, programs, learning and 
                        growth described in paragraphs (1) through (6) 
                        contribute to successful districtwide arts 
                        education.
                            (8) Despite all of the literacy, education, 
                        programs, learning and growth findings described 
                        in paragraphs (1) through (6), the 1997 National 
                        Assessment of Educational Progress reported that 
                        students lack sufficient opportunity for 
                        participatory learning in the arts.
                            (9) The Arts Education Partnership, a 
                        coalition of national and State education, arts, 
                        business, and civic groups, is an excellent 
                        example of one organization that has 
                        demonstrated its effectiveness in addressing the 
                        purposes described in section 814(a) of this 
                        title and the capacity and credibility to 
                        administer arts education programs of national 
                        significance. (Pub.L. 96-114, Title II, 
                        Sec. 202, as added Pub.L. 106-533, Sec. 1(a), 
                        Nov. 22, 2000, 114 Stat. 2545.)

       518  Sec. 901. Enforcing discretionary spending limits.
            (a) Enforcement
                (1) Sequestration
                            Within 15 calendar days after Congress 
                        adjourns to end a session there shall be a 
                        sequestration to eliminate a budget-year breach, 
                        if any, within any category.
                (2) Eliminating a breach
                            Each non-exempt account within a category 
                        shall be reduced by a dollar amount calculated 
                        by multiplying the enacted level of sequestrable 
                        budgetary resources in that account at that time 
                        by the uniform percentage necessary to eliminate 
                        a breach within that category.
                (3) Military personnel
                            If the President uses the authority to 
                        exempt any personnel account from sequestration 
                        under section 905(f) of this title, each account 
                        within subfunctional category 051 (other than 
                        those military personnel accounts for which the 
                        authority provided under section 905(f) of this 
                        title has been exercised) shall be further 
                        reduced by a dollar amount calculated by 
                        multiplying the enacted level of non-exempt 
                        budgetary resources in that account at that time 
                        by the uniform percentage necessary to offset 
                        the total dollar amount by which outlays are not 
                        reduced in military personnel accounts by reason 
                        of the use of such authority.
                (4) Part-year appropriations
                            If, on the date specified in paragraph (1), 
                        there is in effect an Act making or continuing 
                        appropriations for part of a fiscal year for any 
                        budget account, then the dollar sequestration 
                        calculated for that account under paragraphs (2) 
                        and (3) shall be subtracted from--

                                (A) the annualized amount otherwise 
                            available by law in that account under that 
                            or a subsequent part-year appropriation; and

                                (B) when a full-year appropriation for 
                            that account is enacted, from the amount 
                            otherwise provided by the full-year 
                            appropriation for that account.

                (5) Look-back
                            If, after June 30, an appropriation for the 
                        fiscal year in progress is enacted that causes a 
                        breach within a category for that year (after 
                        taking into account any sequestration of amounts 
                        within that category), the discretionary 
                        spending limits for that category for the next 
                        fiscal year shall be reduced by the amount or 
                        amounts of that breach.
                (6) Within-session sequestration
                            If an appropriation for a fiscal year in 
                        progress is enacted (after Congress adjourns to 
                        end the session for that budget year and before 
                        July 1 of that fiscal year) that causes a breach 
                        within a category for that year (after taking 
                        into account any prior sequestration of amounts 
                        within that category), 15 days later there shall 
                        be a sequestration to eliminate that breach 
                        within that category following the procedures 
                        set forth in paragraphs (2) through (4).
                (7) Estimates
                            (A) CBO estimates

                                As soon as practicable after Congress 
                            completes action on any discretionary 
                            appropriation, CBO, after consultation with 
                            the Committees on the Budget of the House of 
                            Representatives and the Senate shall provide 
                            OMB with an estimate of the amount of 
                            discretionary new budget authority and 
                            outlays for the current year, if any, and 
                            the budget year provided by that 
                            legislation.

                            (B) OMB estimates and explanation of 
                        differences

                                Not later than 7 calendar days 
                            (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal 
                            holidays) after the date of enactment of any 
                            discretionary appropriation, OMB shall 
                            transmit a report to the House of 
                            Representatives and to the Senate containing 
                            the CBO estimate of that legislation, an OMB 
                            estimate of the amount of discretionary new 
                            budget authority and outlays for the current 
                            year, if any, and the budget year provided 
                            by that legislation, and an explanation of 
                            any difference between the 2 estimates. If 
                            during the preparation of the report OMB 
                            determines that there is a significant 
                            difference between OMB and CBO, OMB shall 
                            consult with the Committees on the Budget of 
                            the House of Representatives and the Senate 
                            regarding that difference and that 
                            consultation shall include, to the extent 
                            practicable, written communication to those 
                            committees that affords such committees the 
                            opportunity to comment before the issuance 
                            of the report.

                            (C) Assumptions and guidelines

                                OMB estimates under this paragraph shall 
                            be made using current economic and technical 
                            assumptions. OMB shall use the OMB estimates 
                            transmitted to the Congress under this 
                            paragraph. OMB and CBO shall prepare 
                            estimates under this paragraph in 
                            conformance with scorekeeping guidelines 
                            determined after consultation among the 
                            Committees on the Budget of the House of 
                            Representatives and the Senate, CBO, and 
                            OMB.

                            (D) Annual appropriations

                                For purposes of this paragraph, amounts 
                            provided by annual appropriations shall 
                            include any discretionary appropriations for 
                            the current year, if any, and the budget 
                            year in accounts for which funding is 
                            provided in that legislation that result 
                            from previously enacted legislation.

            (b) Adjustments to discretionary spending limits
                (1) Concepts and definitions

                                When the President submits the budget 
                            under section 1105 of Title 31, OMB shall 
                            calculate and the budget shall include 
                            adjustments to discretionary spending limits 
                            (and those limits as cumulatively adjusted) 
                            for the budget year and each outyear to 
                            reflect changes in concepts and definitions. 
                            Such changes shall equal the baseline levels 
                            of new budget authority and outlays using 
                            up-to-date concepts and definitions, minus 
                            those levels using the concepts and 
                            definitions in effect before such changes. 
                            Such changes may only be made after 
                            consultation with the Committees on 
                            Appropriations and the Budget of the House 
                            of Representatives and the Senate, and that

                (4) Allocation to functions
                            On March 1, 2013, for fiscal year 2013, and 
                        in its sequestration preview report for fiscal 
                        years 2014 through 2021 pursuant to section 
                        904(c) of this title, OMB shall allocate half of 
                        the total reduction calculated pursuant to 
                        paragraph (3) for that year to discretionary 
                        appropriations and direct spending accounts 
                        within function 050 (defense function) and half 
                        to accounts in all other functions (nondefense 
                        functions).
                (5) Defense function reduction
                            OMB shall calculate the reductions to 
                        discretionary appropriations and direct spending 
                        for each of fiscal years 2013 through 2021 for 
                        defense function spending as follows:

                                (A) Discretionary

                            OMB shall calculate the reduction to 
                        discretionary appropriations by----
                                                (i) taking the total 
                                            reduction for the defense 
                                            function allocated for that 
                                            year under paragraph (4);
                                                (ii) multiplying by the 
                                            discretionary spending limit 
                                            for the revised security 
                                            category for that year; and
                                                (iii) dividing by the 
                                            sum of the discretionary 
                                            spending limit for the 
                                            security category and OMB's 
                                            baseline estimate of 
                                            nonexempt outlays for direct 
                                            spending programs within the 
                                            defense function for that 
                                            year.

                                (B) Direct spending

                            OMB shall calculate the reduction to direct 
                        spending by taking the total reduction for the 
                        defense function required for that year under 
                        paragraph (4) and subtracting the discretionary 
                        reduction calculated pursuant to subparagraph 
                        (A).
                (6) Nondefense function reduction
                            OMB shall calculate the reduction to 
                        discretionary appropriations and to direct 
                        spending for each of fiscal years 2013 through 
                        2021 for programs in nondefense functions as

                            OMB shall calculate the reduction to 
                        discretionary appropriations by----
                                                (i) taking the total 
                                            reduction for nondefense 
                                            functions allocated for that 
                                            year under paragraph (4);
                                                (ii) multiplying by the 
                                            discretionary spending limit 
                                            for the revised nonsecurity 
                                            category for that year; and
                                                (iii) dividing by the 
                                            sum of the discretionary 
                                            spending limit for the 
                                            revised nonsecurity category 
                                            and OMB's baseline estimate 
                                            of nonexempt outlays for 
                                            direct spending programs in 
                                            nondefense functions for 
                                            that year.

                                (B) Direct spending

                            OMB shall calculate the reduction to direct 
                        spending programs by taking the total reduction 
                        for nondefense functions required for that year 
                        under paragraph (4) and subtracting the 
                        discretionary reduction calculated pursuant to 
                        subparagraph (A).

                        shall calculate and the President shall order a 
                        sequestration, effective upon issuance and under 
                        the procedures set forth in section 903(f) of 
                        this title, to reduce each account within the 
                        security category or nonsecurity category by a 
                        dollar amount calculated by multiplying the 
                        baseline level of budgetary resources in that 
                        account at that time by a uniform percentage 
                        necessary to achieve----
                                                (i) for the revised 
                                            security category, an amount 
                                            equal to the defense 
                                            function discretionary

                                            nonsecurity category, an 
                                            amount equal to the 
                                            nondefense function 
                                            discretionary reduction 
                                            calculated pursuant to 
                                            paragraph (6).

                                (B) Fiscal years 2014-2021

                            On the date of the submission of its 
                        sequestration preview report for fiscal years 
                        2014 through 2021 pursuant to section 904(c) of 
                        this title for each of fiscal years 2014 through 
                        2021, OMB shall reduce the discretionary 
                        spending limit----
                                                (i) for the revised 
                                            security category by the 
                                            amount of the defense 
                                            function discretionary 
                                            reduction calculated 
                                            pursuant to paragraph (5); 
                                            and

                                            nonsecurity category by the 
                                            amount of the nondefense 
                                            function discretionary 
                                            reduction calculated 
                                            pursuant to paragraph (6).

                (8) Implementing direct spending reductions
                            On the date specified in paragraph (4) 
                        during each applicable year, OMB shall prepare 
                        and the President shall order a sequestration, 
                        effective upon issuance, of nonexempt direct 
                        spending to achieve the direct spending 
                        reduction calculated pursuant to paragraphs (5) 
                        and (6). When implementing the sequestration of 
                        direct spending pursuant to this paragraph, OMB 
                        shall follow the procedures specified in section 
                        935 of this title, the exemptions specified in 
                        section 905 of this title, and the special rules 
                        specified in section 906 of this title, except 
                        that the percentage reduction for the Medicare 
                        programs specified in section 906(d) of this 
                        title shall not be more than 2 percent for a 
                        fiscal year.
                (9) Adjustment for Medicare
                            If the percentage reduction for the Medicare 
                        programs would exceed 2 percent for a fiscal 
                        year in the absence of paragraph (8), OMB shall 
                        increase the reduction for all other 
                        discretionary appropriations and direct spending 
                        under paragraph (6) by a uniform percentage to a 
                        level sufficient to achieve the reduction 
                        required by paragraph (6) in the non-defense 
                        function.
                (10) Implementation of reductions
                            Any reductions imposed under this section 
                        shall be implemented in accordance with section 
                        906(k) of this title.
                (11) Report
                            On the dates specified in paragraph (4), OMB 
                        shall submit a report to Congress containing 
                        information about the calculations required

                        required for each nonexempt direct spending 
                        account, and any other data and explanations 
                        that enhance public understanding of this title 
                        and actions taken under it. (Pub.L. 99-177,

            (a) Purpose
                The purpose of this section is to assure that any 
            legislation enacted before October 1, 2002, affecting direct 
            spending or receipts that increases the deficit will trigger 
            an offsetting sequestration.
            (b) Sequestration
                (1) Timing
                            Not later than 15 calendar days after the 
                        date Congress adjourns to end a session and on 
                        the same day as a sequestration (if any) under 
                        section 901 or 903 of this title, there shall be 
                        a sequestration to offset the amount of any net 
                        deficit increase caused by all direct spending 
                        and receipts legislation enacted before October 
                        1, 2002, as calculated under paragraph (2).

                                (B) the estimated amount of savings in 
                            direct spending programs applicable to 
                            budget year resulting from the prior year's 
                            sequestration under this section or section 
                            903 of this title, if any, as published in 
                            OMB's final sequestration report for that 
                            prior year; and

                                (C) any net deficit increase or decrease 
                            in the current year resulting from all OMB 
                            estimates for the current year of direct 
                            spending and receipts legislation 
                            transmitted under subsection (d) of this 
                            section that were not reflected in the final 
                            OMB sequestration report for the current 
                            year.

            (c) Eliminating a deficit increase
                (1) The amount required to be sequestered in a fiscal 
            year under subsection (b) of this section shall be obtained 
            from non-exempt direct spending accounts from actions taken 
            in the following order:
                            (A) First

                                All reductions in automatic spending 
                            increases specified in section 906(a) of 
                            this title shall be made.

                            (B) Second

                                If additional reductions in direct 
                            spending accounts are required to be made, 
                            the maximum reductions permissible under 
                            sections 906(b) (guaranteed and direct 
                            student loans) and 906(c) (foster care and 
                            adoption assistance) of this title shall be 
                            made.

                            (C) Third

                                (i) If additional reductions in direct 
                            spending accounts are required to be made, 
                            each remaining non-exempt direct spending 
                            account shall be reduced by the uniform 
                            percentage necessary to make the reductions 
                            in direct spending required by paragraph 
                            (1); except that the medicare programs 
                            specified in section 906(d) of this title 
                            shall not be reduced by more than 4 percent 
                            and the uniform percentage applicable to all 
                            other direct spending programs under this 
                            paragraph shall be increased (if necessary) 
                            to a level sufficient to achieve the 
                            required reduction in direct spending.

                                (ii) For purposes of determining 
                            reductions under clause (i), outlay 
                            reductions (as a result of sequestration of 
                            Commodity Credit Corporation commodity price 
                            support contracts in the fiscal year of a 
                            sequestration) that would occur in the 
                            following fiscal year shall be credited as 
                            outlay reductions in the fiscal year of the 
                            sequestration.

                (2) For purposes of this subsection, accounts shall be 
            assumed to be at the level in the baseline.
            (d) Estimates
                (1) CBO estimates
                            As soon as practicable after Congress 
                        completes action on any direct spending or 
                        receipts legislation, CBO shall provide an 
                        estimate to OMB of that legislation.
                (2) OMB estimates
                            Not later than 7 calendar days (excluding 
                        Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) after 
                        the date of enactment of any direct spending or 
                        receipts legislation, OMB shall transmit a 
                        report to the House of Representatives and to 
                        the Senate containing--

                                (A) the CBO estimate of that 
                            legislation;

                                (B) an OMB estimate of that legislation 
                            using current economic and technical 
                            assumptions; and

                                (C) an explanation of any difference 
                            between the 2 estimates.

                (3) Significant differences
                            If during the preparation of the report 
                        under paragraph (2) OMB determines that there is 
                        a significant difference between the OMB and CBO 
                        estimates, OMB shall consult with the Committees 
                        on the Budget of the House of Representatives 
                        and the Senate regarding that difference and 
                        that consultation, to the extent practicable, 
                        shall include written communication to such 
                        committees that affords such committees the 
                        opportunity to comment before the issuance of 
                        that report.
                (4) Scope of estimates
                            The estimates under this section shall 
                        include the amount of change in outlays or 
                        receipts for the current year (if applicable), 
                        the budget year, and each outyear excluding any 
                        amounts resulting from--

                                (A) full finding of, and continuation 
                            of, the deposit insurance guarantee 
                            commitment in effect under current 
                            estimates; and

                                (B) emergency provisions as designated 
                            under subsection (e) of this section.

                (5) Scorekeeping guidelines
                            OMB and CBO, after consultation with each 
                        other and the Committees on the Budget of the 
                        House of Representatives and the Senate, shall--

                                (A) determine common scorekeeping 
                            guidelines; and

                                (B) in conformance with such guidelines, 
                            prepare estimates under this section.

            (e) Emergency legislation

            If a provision of direct spending or receipts legislation is 
            enacted that the President designates as an emergency 
            requirement and that the Congress so designates in statute, 
            the amounts of new budget authority, outlays, and receipts 
            in all fiscal years resulting from that provision shall be 
            designated as an emergency requirement in the reports 
            required under subsection (d) of this section. This 
            subsection shall not apply to direct spending provisions to 
            cover agricultural crop disaster assistance. (Pub.L. 99-177, 
            Title II, Sec. 252, Dec. 12, 1985, 99 Stat. 1072; Pub.L. 
            100-119, Title I, Sec. 102(a), Sept. 29, 1987, 101 Stat.

       521  Sec. 903. Enforcing deficit targets.
            (a) Sequestration
                Within 15 calendar days after Congress adjourns to end a 
            session (other than of the One Hundred First Congress) and 
            on the same day as a sequestration (if any) under section 
            901 of this title and section 902 of this title, but after 
            any sequestration required by section 901 (enforcing 
            discretionary spending limits) of this title or section 902 
            (enforcing pay-as-you-go) of this title, there shall be a 
            sequestration to eliminate the excess deficit (if any 
            remains) if it exceeds the margin.
            (b) Excess deficit; margin
                The excess deficit is, if greater than zero, the 
            estimated deficit for the budget year, minus--
                            (1) the maximum deficit amount for that 
                        year;
                            (2) the amounts for that year designated as 
                        emergency direct spending or receipts 
                        legislation under section 902(e) of this title; 
                        and
                            (3) for any fiscal year in which there is 
                        not a full adjustment for technical and economic 
                        reestimates, the deposit insurance reestimate 
                        for that year, if any, calculated under 
                        subsection (h) of this section.

            The ``margin'' for fiscal year 1992 or 1993 is zero and for 
            fiscal year 1994 or 1995 is $15,000,000,000.

            (c) Dividing the sequestration
                To eliminate the excess deficit in a budget year, half 
            of the required outlay reductions shall be obtained from 
            non-exempt defense accounts (accounts designated as function 
            050 in the President's fiscal year 1991 budget submission) 
            and half from non-exempt, non-defense accounts (all other 
            non-exempt accounts).
            (d) Defense
                Each non-exempt defense account shall be reduced by a 
            dollar amount calculated by multiplying the level of 
            sequestrable budgetary resources in that account at that 
            time by the uniform percentage necessary to carry out 
            subsection (c) of this section, except that, if any military 
            personnel are exempt, adjustments shall be made under the 
            procedure set forth in section 901(a)(3) of this title.
            (e) Non-defense
                Actions to reduce non-defense accounts shall be taken in 
            the following order:
                            (1) First

                                All reductions in automatic spending 
                            increases under section 906(a) of this title 
                            shall be made.

                            (2) Second

                                If additional reductions in non-defense 
                            accounts are required to be made, the 
                            maximum reduction permissible under sections 
                            906(b) (guaranteed student loans) and 906(c) 
                            (foster care and adoption assistance) of 
                            this title shall be made.

                            (3) Third

                                (A) If additional reductions in non-
                            defense accounts are required to be made, 
                            each remaining non-exempt, non-defense 
                            account shall be reduced by the uniform 
                            percentage necessary to make the reductions 
                            in non-defense outlays required by 
                            subsection (c) of this section, except 
                            that--

                                        (i) the medicare program 
                                    specified in section 906(d) of this 
                                    title shall not be reduced by more 
                                    than 2 percent in total including 
                                    any reduction of less than 2 percent 
                                    made under section 902 of this title 
                                    or, if it has been reduced by 2 
                                    percent or more under section 902 of 
                                    this title, it may not be further 
                                    reduced under this section; and

                                        (ii) the health programs set 
                                    forth in section 906(e) of this 
                                    title shall not be reduced by more 
                                    than 2 percent in total (including 
                                    any reduction made under section 901 
                                    of this title),

                            and the uniform percent applicable to all 
                            other programs under this subsection shall 
                            be increased (if necessary) to a level 
                            sufficient to achieve the required reduction 
                            in non-defense outlays.

                                (B) For purposes of determining 
                            reductions under subparagraph (A), outlay 
                            reduction (as a result of sequestration of 
                            Commodity Credit Corporation commodity price 
                            support contracts in the fiscal year of a 
                            sequestration) that would occur in the 
                            following fiscal year shall be credited as 
                            outlay reductions in the fiscal year of the 
                            sequestration.

            (f) Baseline assumptions; part-year appropriations
                (1) Budget assumptions
                            For purposes of subsections (b), (c), (d), 
                        and (e) of this section, accounts shall be 
                        assumed to be at the level in the baseline minus 
                        any reductions required to be made under 
                        sections 901 and 902 of this title.
                (2) Part-year appropriations
                            If, on the date specified in subsection (a) 
                        of this section, there is in effect an Act 
                        making or continuing appropriations for part of 
                        a fiscal year for any non-exempt budget account, 
                        then the dollar sequestration calculated for 
                        that account under subsection (d) or (e) of this 
                        section, as applicable, shall be subtracted 
                        from--

                                (A) the annualized amount otherwise 
                            available by law in that account under that 
                            or a subsequent part-year appropriation; and

                                (B) when a full-year appropriation for 
                            that account is enacted, from the amount 
                            otherwise provided by the full-year 
                            appropriation; except that the amount to be 
                            sequestered from that account shall be 
                            reduced (but not below zero) by the savings 
                            achieved by that appropriation when the 
                            enacted amount is less than the baseline for 
                            that account.

            (g) Adjustments to maximum deficit amounts
                (1) Adjustments
                            (A) When the President submits the budget 
                        for fiscal year 1992, the maximum deficit 
                        amounts for fiscal years 1992, 1993, 1994, and 
                        1995 shall be adjusted to reflect up-to-date 
                        reestimates of economic and technical 
                        assumptions and any changes in concepts or 
                        definitions. When the President submits the 
                        budget for fiscal year 1993, the maximum deficit 
                        amounts for fiscal years 1993, 1994, and 1995 
                        shall be further adjusted to reflect up-to-date 
                        reestimates of economic and technical 
                        assumptions and any changes in concepts or 
                        definitions.
                            (B) When submitting the budget for fiscal 
                        year 1994, the President may choose to adjust 
                        the maximum deficit amounts for fiscal years 
                        1994 and 1995 to reflect up-to-date reestimates 
                        of economic and technical assumptions. If the 
                        President chooses to adjust the maximum deficit 
                        amount when submitting the fiscal year 1994 
                        budget, the President may choose to invoke the 
                        same adjustment procedure when submitting the 
                        budget for fiscal year 1995. In each case, the 
                        President must choose between making no 
                        adjustment or the full adjustment described in 
                        paragraph (2). If the President chooses to make 
                        that full adjustment, then those procedures for 
                        adjusting discretionary spending limits 
                        described in sections 901(b)(1)(C) and 
                        901(b)(2)(E) of this title, otherwise applicable 
                        through fiscal year 1993 or 1994 (as the case 
                        may be), shall be deemed to apply for fiscal 
                        year 1994 (and 1995 if applicable).
                            (C) When the budget for fiscal year 1994 or 
                        1995 is submitted and the sequestration reports 
                        for those years under section 904 of this title 
                        are made (as applicable), if the President does 
                        not choose to make the adjustments set forth in 
                        subparagraph (B), the maximum deficit amount for 
                        that fiscal year shall be adjusted by the amount 
                        of the adjustment to discretionary spending 
                        limits first applicable for that year (if any) 
                        under section 901(b) of this title.
                            (D) For each fiscal year the adjustments 
                        required to be made with the submission of the 
                        Presidents budget for that year shall also be 
                        made when OMB submits the sequestration update 
                        report and the final sequestration report for 
                        that year, but OMB shall continue to use the 
                        economic and technical assumptions in the 
                        President's budget for that year.

            Each adjustment shall be made by increasing or decreasing 
            the maximum deficit amounts set forth in section 665 of this 
            title.

                (2) Calculations of adjustments
                            The required increase or decrease shall be 
                        calculated as follows:

                                (A) The baseline deficit or surplus 
                            shall be calculated using up-to-date 
                            economic and technical assumptions, using 
                            up-to-date concepts and definitions, and, in 
                            lieu of the baseline levels of discretionary 
                            appropriations, using the discretionary 
                            spending limits set forth in section 665 of 
                            this title as adjusted under section 901 of 
                            this title.

                                (B) The net deficit increase or decrease 
                            caused by all direct spending and receipts 
                            legislation enacted after the date of 
                            enactment of this section (after adjusting 
                            for any sequestration of direct spending 
                            accounts) shall be calculated for each 
                            fiscal year by adding--

                                        (i) the estimates of direct 
                                    spending and receipts legislation 
                                    transmitted under section 902(d) of 
                                    this title applicable to each such 
                                    fiscal year; and

                                        (ii) the estimated amount of 
                                    savings in direct spending programs 
                                    applicable to each such fiscal year 
                                    resulting from the prior year's 
                                    sequestration under this section or 
                                    section 902 of this title of direct 
                                    spending, if any, as contained in 
                                    OMB's final sequestration report for 
                                    that year.

                                (C) The amount calculated under 
                            subparagraph (B) shall be subtracted from 
                            the amount calculated under subparagraph 
                            (A).

                                (D) The maximum deficit amount set forth 
                            in section 665 of this title shall be 
                            subtracted from the amount calculated under 
                            subparagraph (C).

                                (E) The amount calculated under 
                            subparagraph (D) shall be the amount of the 
                            adjustment required by paragraph (1).

            (h) Treatment of deposit insurance
                (1) Initial estimates
                            The initial estimates of the net costs of 
                        federal deposit insurance for fiscal year 1994 
                        and fiscal year 1995 (assuming full funding of, 
                        and continuation of, the deposit insurance 
                        guarantee commitment in effect on the date of 
                        the submission of the budget for fiscal year 
                        1993) shall be set forth in that budget.
                (2) Reestimates
                            For fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995, 
                        the amount of the reestimate of deposit 
                        insurance costs shall be calculated by 
                        subtracting the amount set forth under paragraph 
                        (1) for that year from the current estimate of 
                        deposit insurance costs (but assuming full 
                        funding of, and continuation of, the deposit 
                        insurance guarantee commitment in effect on the

       524  Sec. 906. General and special sequestration rules.
            (a) Automatic spending increases
                Automatic spending increases are increases in outlays 
            due to changes in indexes in the following programs:
                            (1) Special milk program; and
                            (2) Vocational rehabilitation basic State 
                        grants.

            In those programs all amounts other than the automatic 
            spending increases shall be exempt from reduction under any 
            order issued under this subchapter.

            (b) Student loans
                For all student loans under part B or D of Title IV of 
            the Higher Education Act of 1965 [20 U.S.C. 1071 et seq., 
            1087a et seq.] made during the period when a sequestration 
            order under section 904 of this title is in effect as 
            required by section 902 or 903 of this title, origination 
            fees under sections 438(c)(2) and 455(c) of that Act [20 
            U.S.C. 1087-1(c)(2) and 1087e(c)] shall each be increased by 
            0.50 percentage point.
            (c) Treatment of foster care and adoption assistance 
                programs
                Any order issued by the President under section 904 of 
            this title shall make the reduction which is otherwise 
            required under the foster care and adoption assistance 
            programs (established by part E of Title IV of the Social 
            Security Act [42 U.S.C. 670 et seq.]) only with respect to 
            payments and expenditures made by States in which increases 
            in foster care maintenance payment rates or adoption 
            assistance payment rates (or both) are to take effect during 
            the fiscal year involved, and only to the extent that the 
            required reduction can be accomplished by applying a uniform 
            percentage reduction to the Federal matching payments that 
            each such State would otherwise receive under section 474 of 
            that Act [42 U.S.C. 674] (for such fiscal year) for that 
            portion of the State's payments which is attributable to the 
            increases taking effect during that year. No State's 
            matching payments from the Federal Government for foster 
            care maintenance payments or for adoption assistance 
            maintenance payments may be reduced by a percentage 
            exceeding the applicable domestic sequestration percentage. 
            No State may, after December 12, 1985, make any change in 
            the timetable for making payments under a State plan 
            approved under part E of Title IV of the Social Security Act 
            which has the effect of changing the fiscal year in which 
            expenditures under such part are made.
            (d) Special rules for Medicare program
                (1) Calculation of reduction in individual payment 
            amounts
                            To achieve the total percentage reduction in 
                        those programs required by sections 902 and 903 
                        of this title, and notwithstanding section 710 
                        of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 911], OMB

                        order under section 904 of this title shall 
                        implement, the percentage reduction that shall 
                        apply to payments under the health insurance 
                        programs under Title XVIII of the Social 
                        Security Act [42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.] for 
                        services furnished after the order is issued, 
                        such that the reduction made in payments under 
                        that order shall achieve the required total 
                        percentage reduction in those payments for that 
                        fiscal year as determined on a 12-month basis.

                            sequestration order, the reduction shall be 
                            applied to payment for services furnished 
                            during the effective period of the order. 
                            For purposes of the previous sentence, in 
                            the case of inpatient services furnished for 
                            an individual, the services shall be 
                            considered to be furnished on the date of 
                            the individual's discharge from the 
                            inpatient facility.

                            (B) Payment on the basis of cost reporting 
                        periods

                                In the case in which payment for 
                            services of a provider of services is made 
                            under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act 
                            [42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.] on a basis relating 
                            to the reasonable cost incurred for the 
                            services during a cost reporting period of 
                            the provider, if a reduction is made under 
                            paragraph (1) in payment amounts pursuant to 
                            a sequestration order, the reduction shall 
                            be applied to payment for costs for such 
                            services incurred at any time during each 
                            cost reporting period of the provider any 
                            part of which occurs during the effective 
                            period of the order, but only (for each such 
                            cost reporting period) in the same 
                            proportion as the fraction of the cost 
                            reporting period that occurs during the 
                            effective period of the order.

            agencies, including independent agencies, of the Federal 
            Government in connection with any program, project, 
            activity, or account shall be subject to reduction pursuant 
            to an order issued under section 904 of this title, without 
            regard to any exemption, exception, limitation, or special 
            rule which is otherwise applicable with respect to such

                (3) Payments made by the Federal Government to reimburse

            considered administrative expenses of the Federal Government 
            for purposes of this section, and shall be subject to 
            reduction or sequestration under this subchapter to the

                (1) For purposes of section 904 of this title--
                            (A) any amount paid as regular unemployment 
                        compensation by a State from its account in the 
                        Unemployment Trust Fund (established by section 
                        904(a) of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 
                        1104(a)]),
                            (B) any advance made to a State from the

                        under Title XII of such Act [42 U.S.C. 1321 et 
                        seq.] and any advance appropriated to the

                        1203 of such Act [42 U.S.C. 1323], and
                            (C) any payment made from the Federal 
                        Employees Compensation Account (as established 
                        under section 909 of such Act [42 U.S.C. 1109])

            shall not be subject to reduction.

                (2)(A) A State may reduce each weekly benefit payment 
            made under the Federal-State Extended Unemployment 
            Compensation Act of 1970 for any week of unemployment 
            occurring during any period with respect to which payments 
            are reduced under an order issued under section 904 of this 
            title by a percentage not to exceed the percentage by which 
            the Federal payment to the State under section 204 of such 
            Act is to be reduced for such week as a result of such 
            order.
                (B) A reduction by a State in accordance with 
            subparagraph (A) shall not be considered as a failure to 
            fulfill the requirements of section 3304(a)(11) of Title 26.
            (j) Commodity Credit Corporation
                (1) Powers and authorities of the Commodity Credit 
            Corporation
                            This title shall not restrict the Commodity 
                        Credit Corporation in the discharge of its 
                        authority and responsibility as a corporation to 
                        buy and sell commodities in world trade, to use 
                        the proceeds as a revolving fund to meet other 
                        obligations and otherwise operate as a 
                        corporation, the purpose of which it was 
                        created.
                (2) Reduction in payments made under contracts
                            (A) Loan eligibility under any contract 
                        entered into with a person by the Commodity 
                        Credit Corporation prior to the time an order 
                        has been issued under section 904 of this title 
                        shall not be reduced by an order subsequently 
                        issued. Subject to subparagraph (B), after an 
                        order is issued under such section for a fiscal 
                        year, any cash payments for loans or loan 
                        deficiencies made by the Commodity Credit 
                        Corporation shall be subject to reduction under 
                        the order.
                            (B) Each loan contract entered into with 
                        producers or producer cooperatives with respect 
                        to a particular crop of a commodity and subject 
                        to reduction under subparagraph (A) shall be 
                        reduced in accordance with the same terms and 
                        conditions. If some, but not all, contracts 
                        applicable to a crop of a commodity have been 
                        entered into prior to the issuance of an order 
                        under section 904 of this title, the order shall 
                        provide that the necessary reduction in payments 
                        under contracts applicable to the commodity be 
                        uniformly applied to all contracts for the next 
                        succeeding crop of the commodity, under the 
                        authority provided in paragraph (3).
                (3) Delayed reduction in outlays permissible
                            Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
                        title, if an order under section 904 of this 
                        title is issued with respect to a fiscal year, 
                        any reduction under the order applicable to 
                        contracts described in paragraph (1) may provide 
                        for reductions in outlays for the account 
                        involved to occur in the fiscal year following 
                        the fiscal year to which the order applies.
                (4) Uniform percentage rate of reduction and other 
            limitations
                            All reductions described in paragraph (2) 
                        which are required to be made in connection with 
                        an order issued under section 904 of this title 
                        with respect to a fiscal year shall be made so 
                        as to ensure that outlays for each program, 
                        project, activity, or account involved are 
                        reduced by a percentage rate that is uniform for 
                        all such programs, projects, activities, and 
                        accounts, and may not be made so as to achieve a 
                        percentage rate of reduction in any such item 
                        exceeding the rate specified in the order.
                (5) Dairy program
                            Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
                        subsection, as the sole means of achieving any 
                        reduction in outlays under the milk price 
                        support program, the Secretary of Agriculture 
                        shall provide for a reduction to be made in the 
                        price received by producers for all milk 
                        produced in the United States and marketed by 
                        producers for commercial use. That price 
                        reduction (measured in cents per hundred weight 
                        of milk marketed) shall occur under section 
                        201(d)(2)(A) of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 
                        U.S.C. 1446(d)(2)(A)), shall begin on the day 
                        any sequestration order is issued under section 
                        904 of this title, and shall not exceed the 
                        aggregate amount of the reduction in outlays 
                        under the milk price support program that 
                        otherwise would have been achieved by reducing 
                        payments for the purchase of milk or the 
                        products of milk under this subsection during 
                        the applicable fiscal year.
                (6) Certain authority not to be limited
                            Nothing in this joint resolution shall limit 
                        or reduce, in any way, any appropriation that 
                        provides the Commodity Credit Corporation with 
                        budget authority to cover the Corporation's net 
                        realized losses.
            (k) Effects of sequestration
                The effects of sequestration shall be as follows:
                            (1) Budgetary resources sequestered from any 
                        account shall be permanently cancelled, except 
                        as provided in paragraph (5).
                            (2) Except as otherwise provided, the same 
                        percentage sequestration shall apply to all 
                        programs, projects, and activities within a 
                        budget account (with programs, projects, and 
                        activities as delineated in the appropriation 
                        Act or accompanying report for the relevant 
                        fiscal year covering that account, or for 
                        accounts not included in appropriation Acts, as 
                        delineated in the most recently submitted 
                        President's budget).
                            (3) Administrative regulations or similar 
                        actions implementing a sequestration shall be 
                        made within 120 days of the sequestration order. 
                        To the extent that formula allocations differ at 
                        different levels of budgetary resources within 
                        an account, program, project, or activity, the 
                        sequestration shall be interpreted as producing 
                        a lower total appropriation, with the remaining 
                        amount of the appropriation being obligated in a 
                        manner consistent with program allocation 
                        formulas in substantive law.
                            (4) Except as otherwise provided, 
                        obligations in sequestered accounts shall be 
                        reduced only in the fiscal year in which a 
                        sequester occurs.
                            (5) If an automatic spending increase is 
                        sequestered, the increase (in the applicable 
                        index) that was disregarded as a result of that 
                        sequestration shall not be taken into account in 
                        any subsequent fiscal year.
                            (6) Budgetary resources sequestered in 
                        revolving, trust, and special fund accounts and 
                        offsetting collections sequestered in 
                        appropriation accounts shall not be available 
                        for obligation during the fiscal year in which 
                        the sequestration occurs, but shall be available 
                        in subsequent years to the extent otherwise 
                        provided in law. (Pub.L. 99-177, Title II,

            (a) In general
                For any budget year, the baseline refers to a projection 
            of current-year levels of new budget authority, outlays, 
            revenues, and the surplus or deficit into the budget year 
            and the outyears based on laws enacted through the 
            applicable date.
            (b) Direct spending and receipts
                For the budget year and each outyear, the baseline shall 
            be calculated using the following assumptions:
                            (1) In general

                                Laws providing or creating direct 
                            spending and receipts are assumed to operate 
                            in the manner specified in those laws for 
                            each such year and funding for entitlement 
                            authority is assumed to be adequate to make 
                            all payments required by those laws.

                            (2) Exceptions

                                (A)(i) No program established by a law 
                            enacted on or before August 5, 1997, with 
                            estimated current year outlays greater than 
                            $50,000,000 shall be assumed to expire in 
                            the budget year or the outyears. The scoring 
                            of new programs with estimated outlays 
                            greater than $50,000,000 a year shall be 
                            based on scoring by the Committees on Budget 
                            or OMB, as applicable. OMB, CBO, and the 
                            Budget Committees shall consult on the 
                            scoring of such programs where there are 
                            differences between CBO and OMB.

                                (ii) On the expiration of the suspension 
                            of a provision of law that is suspended 
                            under section 171 of Public Law 104-127 and 
                            that authorizes a program with estimated 
                            fiscal year outlays that are greater than 
                            $50,000,000, for purposes of clause (i), the 
                            program shall be assumed to continue to 
                            operate in the same manner as the program 
                            operated immediately before the expiration 
                            of the suspension.

                                (B) The increase for veterans' 
                            compensation for a fiscal year is assumed to 
                            be the same as that required by law for 
                            veterans' pensions unless otherwise provided 
                            by law enacted in that session.

                                (C) Excise taxes dedicated to a trust 
                            fund, if expiring, are assumed to be 
                            extended at current rates.

                                (D) If any law expires before the budget 
                            year or any outyear, then any program with 
                            estimated current year outlays greater than 
                            $50,000,000 that operates under the law 
                            shall be assumed to continue to operate 
                            under that law as in effect immediately 
                            before its expiration.

                            (3) Hospital Insurance Trust Fund

                                Notwithstanding any other provision of 
                            law, the receipts and disbursements of the 
                            Hospital Insurance Trust Fund shall be 
                            included in all calculations required by 
                            this Act.

            (c) Discretionary appropriations
                For the budget year and each outyear, the baseline shall 
            be calculated using the following assumptions regarding all 
            amounts other than those covered by subsection (b) of this 
            section:
                            (1) Inflation of current-year appropriations

                                Budgetary resources other than 
                            unobligated balances shall be at the level 
                            provided for the budget year in full-year 
                            appropriation Acts. If for any account a 
                            full-year appropriation has not yet been 
                            enacted, budgetary resources other than 
                            obligated balances shall be at the level 
                            available in the current year, adjusted 
                            sequentially and cumulatively for expiring 
                            housing contracts as specified in paragraph 
                            (2), for social insurance administrative 
                            expenses as specified in paragraph (3), to 
                            offset pay absorption and for pay 
                            annualization as specified in paragraph (4), 
                            for inflation as specified in paragraph (5), 
                            and to account for changes required by law 
                            in the level of agency payments for 
                            personnel benefits other than pay.

                            (2) Expiring housing contracts

                                New budget authority to renew expiring 
                            multiyear subsidized housing contracts shall 
                            be adjusted to reflect the difference in the 
                            number of such contracts that are scheduled 
                            to expire in that fiscal year and the number 
                            expiring in the current year, with the per-
                            contract renewal cost equal to the average 
                            current year cost of renewal contracts.

                            (3) Social insurance administrative expenses

                                Budgetary resources for the 
                            administrative expenses of the following 
                            trust funds shall be adjusted by the 
                            percentage change in the beneficiary 
                            population from the current year to that 
                            fiscal year: the Federal Hospital Insurance 
                            Trust Fund, the Supplementary Medical 
                            Insurance Trust Fund, the Unemployment Trust 
                            Fund, and the railroad retirement account.

                            (4) Pay annualization; offset to pay 
                        absorption

                                Current-year new budget authority for 
                            Federal employees shall be adjusted to 
                            reflect the full 12-month costs (without 
                            absorption) of any pay adjustment that 
                            occurred in that fiscal year.

                            (5) Inflators

                                The inflator used in paragraph (1) to 
                            adjust budgetary resources relating to 
                            personnel shall be the percent by which the 
                            average of the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
                            Employment Cost Index (wages and salaries, 
                            private industry workers) for that fiscal 
                            year differs from such index for the current 
                            year. The inflator used in paragraph (1) to 
                            adjust all other budgetary resources shall 
                            be the percent by which the average of the 
                            estimated gross domestic product chain-type 
                            index for that fiscal year differs from the 
                            average of such estimated index for the 
                            current year.

                            (6) Current-year appropriations

                                If, for any account, a continuing 
                            appropriation is in effect for less than the 
                            entire current year, then the current-year 
                            amount shall be assumed to equal the amount 
                            that would be available if that continuing 
                            appropriation covered the entire fiscal 
                            year. If law permits the transfer of budget 
                            authority among budget accounts in the 
                            current year, the current-year level for an 
                            account shall reflect transfers accomplished 
                            by the submission of, or assumed for the 
                            current year in, the President's original 
                            budget for the budget year.

            (d) Up-to-date concepts
                In deriving the balance for any budget year or outyear, 
            current-year amount shall be calculated using the concepts 
            and definitions that are required for the budget year.
            (e) Asset sales
                Amounts realized from the sale of an asset shall not be 
            included in estimates under section 901, 902, or 903 of this 
            title if that sale would result in a financial cost to the 
            Federal Government as determined pursuant to scorekeeping 
            guidelines.

            United States District Court for the District of Columbia, 
            for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief on the ground 
            that any order that might be issued pursuant to section 904 
            of this title violates the Constitution.
                (2) Any Member of Congress, or any other person

            injunctive relief concerning the constitutionality of this 
            title.
                (3) Any Member of Congress may bring an action, in the 
            United States District Court for the District of Columbia, 
            for declaratory and injunctive relief on the ground that the 
            terms of an order issued under section 904 of this title do 
            not comply with the requirements of this title.
                (4) A copy of any complaint in an action brought under 
            paragraph (1), (2), or (3) shall be promptly delivered to 
            the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of

            Nothing in this section or in any other law shall infringe

            in an action brought under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) 
            without the necessity of adopting a resolution to authorize

            shall be reviewable by appeal directly to the Supreme Court 
            of the United States. Any such appeal shall be taken by a

            entered; and the jurisdictional statement shall be filed 
            within 30 days after such order is entered. No stay of an 
            order issued pursuant to an action brought under paragraph 
            (1), (2), or (3) of subsection (a) of this section shall be 
            issued by a single Justice of the Supreme Court.
            (c) Expedited consideration
                It shall be the duty of the District Court for the 
            District of Columbia and the Supreme Court of the United 
            States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the 
            greatest possible extent the disposition of any matter 
            brought under subsection (a) of this section.
            (d) Noncompliance with sequestration procedures
                (1) If it is finally determined by a court of competent 
            jurisdiction that an order issued by the President under 
            section 904 of this title for any fiscal year--
                            (A) does not reduce automatic spending 
                        increases under any program specified in section 
                        906(a) of this title if such increases are 
                        required to be reduced by subchapter I of this 
                        chapter (or reduces such increases by a greater 
                        extent than is so required), or
                            (B) does not sequester the amount of 
                        budgetary resources which is required to be 
                        sequestered by subchapter I of this chapter (or 
                        sequesters more than that amount) with respect 
                        to any program, project, activity, or amount,

            the President shall, within 20 days after such determination 
            is made, revise the order in accordance with such 
            determination.

                (2) If the order issued by the President under section 
            904 of this title for any fiscal year--
                            (A) does not reduce any automatic spending 
                        increase to the extent that such increase is 
                        required to be reduced by subchapter I of this 
                        chapter,
                            (B) does not sequester any amount of new 
                        budget authority, new loan guarantee 
                        commitments, new direct loan obligations, or 
                        spending authority which is required to be 
                        sequestered by subchapter I of this chapter, or
                            (C) does not reduce any obligation 
                        limitation by the amount by which such 
                        limitation is required to be reduced under 
                        subchapter I of this chapter,

            on the claim or defense that the constitutional powers of 
            the President prevent such sequestration or reduction or 
            permit the avoidance of such sequestration or reduction, and 
            such claim or defense is finally determined by the Supreme 
            Court of the United States to be valid, then the entire 
            order issued pursuant to section 904 of this title for such 
            fiscal year shall be null and void.

            (e) Timing of relief
                No order of any court granting declaratory or injunctive 
            relief from the order of the President issued under section 
            904 of this title, including but not limited to relief 
            permitting or requiring the expenditure of funds sequestered 
            by such order, shall take effect during the pendency of the 
            action before such court, during the time appeal may be 
            taken, or, if appeal is taken, during the period before the 
            court to which such appeal is taken has entered its final 
            order disposing of such action.
            (f) Preservation of other rights
                The rights created by this section are in addition to 
            the rights of any person under law, subject to subsection

            title, the Chairs of the Committees on the Budget of the 
            House and Senate, as applicable, shall request that CBO 
            adjust the estimate of budgetary effects of that legislation 
            pursuant to paragraph (2) for the purposes of this chapter. 
            A single piece of legislation may contain provisions that 
            meet criteria in more than one of the subsections referred 
            to in the preceding sentence. CBO shall adjust estimates for 
            legislation designated under subsection (a) and estimated 
            under subsection (b). OMB shall adjust estimates for 
            legislation estimated under subsection (d)(3).
                (2) Adjustments
                            (A) Estimates
                CBO or OMB, as applicable, shall exclude from the 
            estimate of budgetary effects any budgetary effects of a 
            provision that meets the criteria in subsection (c), (d), 
            (e) or (f) of section 936 of this title, to the extent that 
            those budgetary effects, when combined with all other 
            excluded budgetary effects of any other previously 
            designated provisions of enacted legislation under the same 
            subsection of section 936 of this title, do not exceed the 
            maximum applicable current policy adjustment defined under 
            the applicable subsection of section 936 of this title for 
            the applicable 10-year period.
                            (B) Baseline
                Any estimate made pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be 
            prepared using baseline estimates supplied by the 
            Congressional Budget Office, consistent with section 907 of 
            this title. CBO estimates of legislation adjusted for 
            current policy shall include a separate presentation of 
            costs excluded from the calculation of budgetary effects for 
            the legislation, as well as an updated total of all excluded 
            costs of provisions within subsection (c), (d), or (e) of 
            section 936 of this title, as applicable, and in the case of 
            paragraph (1) of section 936(f) of this title, within any of 
            the subparagraphs (A) through (L) of such paragraph, as 
            applicable.
                (3) Limitation on availability of excess savings
                (A) Prohibition on use of excess saving for ineligible 
            policies
                To the extent the adjustment for current policy of any 
            provision estimated under this subsection exceeds the 
            estimated budgetary effects of that provision, these excess 
            savings shall not be available to offset the costs of any 
            provisions not otherwise eligible for a current policy 
            adjustment under section 936 of this title, and shall not be 
            counted on the PAYGO scorecards established pursuant to 
            subsections (d)(4) and (d)(5).
                (B) Prohibition on use of excess savings across budget 
            areas
                For provisions eligible for a current policy adjustment 
            under subsections (c) through (f) of section 936 of this 
            title, to the extent the adjustment for current policy of 
            any provision exceeds the estimated budgetary effects of 
            that same provision, the excess savings shall be available 
            only to offset the costs of other provisions that qualify 
            for a current policy adjustment in that same subsection. 
            Each paragraph in section 936(f)(1) of this title shall be 
            considered a separate subsection for purposes of this 
            section.
                (4) Further guidance on estimating budgetary effects
                Estimates of budgetary effects under this subsection 
            shall be consistent with the guidance provided at section 
            936(h) of this title.
                (5) Inclusion of statement
                For PAYGO legislation adjusted pursuant to section 936 
            of this title, the Chairman of the House or Senate Budget 
            Committee, as applicable, shall include in any statement 
            titled ``Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation'', submitted 
            for that legislation pursuant to this section, an 
            explanation of the current policy designation and 
            adjustments.
            (d) OMB PAYGO scorecards
                (1) In general
                OMB shall maintain and make publicly available a 
            continuously updated document containing two PAYGO 
            scorecards displaying the budgetary effects of PAYGO 
            legislation as determined under section 639 of this title, 
            applying the look-back requirement in subsection (e) and the 
            averaging requirement in subsection (f), and a separate 
            addendum displaying the estimates of the costs of provisions 
            designated in statute as emergency requirements.
                (2) Estimates in legislation
                            Except as provided in paragraph (3), in 
                        making the calculations for the PAYGO 
                        scorecards, OMB shall use the budgetary effects 
                        included by reference in the applicable 
                        legislation pursuant to subsection (a).
                (3) OMB PAYGO estimates
                            If a PAYGO Act does not contain a valid 
                        reference to its budgetary effects consistent 
                        with subsection (a), OMB shall estimate the 
                        budgetary effects of that legislation upon its 
                        enactment. The OMB estimate shall be based on 
                        the approaches to scorekeeping set forth in 
                        section 639 of this title, as amended by this 
                        chapter, and subsection (g)(4), and shall use 
                        the same economic and technical assumptions as 
                        used in the most recent budget submitted by the 
                        President under section 1105(a) of Title 31.
                (4) 5-year scorecard
                            The first scorecard shall display the 
                        budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation in each 
                        year over the 5-year period beginning in the 
                        budget year.
                (5) 10-year scorecard
                            The second scorecard shall display the 
                        budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation in each 
                        year over the 10-year period beginning in the 
                        budget year.
                (6) Community Living Assistance Services and Supports 
            Act
                            Neither scorecard maintained by OMB pursuant 
                        to this subsection shall include net savings 
                        from any provisions of legislation titled 
                        ``Community Living Assistance Services and 
                        Supports Act'', which establishes a Federal 
                        insurance program for long-term care, if such 
                        legislation is enacted into law, or amended, 
                        subsequent to February 12, 2010.
            (e) Look-back to capture current-year effects
                For purposes of this section, OMB shall treat the 
            budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation enacted during a 
            session of Congress that occur during the current year as 
            though they occurred in the budget year.
            (f) Averaging used to measure compliance over 5-year and 10-
                year periods
                OMB shall cumulate the budgetary effects of a PAYGO Act 
            over the budget year (which includes any look-back effects 
            under subsection (e)) and--
                            (1) for purposes of the 5-year scorecard 
                        referred to in subsection (d)(4), the four 
                        subsequent outyears, divide that cumulative 
                        total by five, and enter the quotient in the 
                        budget-year column and in each subsequent column 
                        of the 5-year PAYGO scorecard; and
                            (2) for purposes of the 10-year scorecard 
                        referred to in subsection (d)(5), the nine 
                        subsequent outyears, divide that cumulative 
                        total by ten, and enter the quotient in the 
                        budget-year column and in each subsequent column 
                        of the 10-year PAYGO scorecard.
            (g) Emergency legislation
                (1) Designation in statute
                            If a provision of direct spending or revenue 
                        legislation in a PAYGO Act is enacted as an 
                        emergency requirement that the Congress so 
                        designates in statute pursuant to this section, 
                        the amounts of new budget authority, outlays, 
                        and revenue in all fiscal years resulting from 
                        that provision shall be treated as an emergency 
                        requirement for the purposes of this Act.
                (2) Designation in the House of Representatives
                            If a PAYGO Act includes a provision 
                        expressly designated as an emergency for the 
                        purposes of this chapter, the Chair shall put 
                        the question of consideration with respect 
                        thereto.
                (3) Point of order in the Senate
                            (A) In general
                            When the Senate is considering a PAYGO Act, 
                        if a point of order is made by a Senator against 
                        an emergency designation in that measure, that 
                        provision making such a designation shall be 
                        stricken from the measure and may not be offered 
                        as an amendment from the floor.
                            (B) Supermajority waiver and appeals

                            suspended in the Senate only by an 
                            affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
                            Members, duly chosen and sworn.

                                (ii) Appeals

                                Appeals in the Senate from the decisions 
                            of the Chair relating to any provision of 
                            this subsection shall be limited to 1 hour, 
                            to be equally divided between, and 
                            controlled by, the appellant and the manager 
                            of the bill or joint resolution, as the case 
                            may be. An affirmative vote of three-fifths 
                            of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen 
                            and sworn, shall be required to sustain an 
                            appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point 
                            of order raised under this subsection.

                            (C) Definition of an emergency designation
                            For purposes of subparagraph (A), a 
                        provision shall be considered an emergency 
                        designation if it designates any item as an 
                        emergency requirement pursuant to this 
                        subsection.
                            (D) Form of the point of order
                A point of order under subparagraph (A) may be raised by 
            a Senator as provided in section 644(e) of this title.
                            (E) Conference reports
                            When the Senate is considering a conference 
                        report on, or an amendment between the Houses in 
                        relation to, a PAYGO Act, upon a point of order 
                        being made by any Senator pursuant to this 
                        section, and such point of order being 
                        sustained, such material contained in such 
                        conference report shall be deemed stricken, and 
                        the Senate shall proceed to consider the 
                        question of whether the Senate shall recede from 
                        its amendment and concur with a further 
                        amendment, or concur in the House amendment with 
                        a further amendment, as the case may be, which 
                        further amendment shall consist of only that 
                        portion of the conference report or House 
                        amendment, as the case may be, not so stricken. 
                        Any such motion in the Senate shall be 
                        debatable. In any case in which such point of 
                        order is sustained against a conference report 
                        (or Senate amendment derived from such 
                        conference report by operation of this 
                        subsection), no further amendment shall be in 
                        order.
                            (4) Effect of designation on scoring
                            If a provision is designated as an emergency 
                        requirement under this Act, CBO or OMB, as 
                        applicable, shall not include the budgetary 
                        effects of such a provision in its estimate of 
                        the budgetary effects of that PAYGO legislation.

            (a) Limitation on changes to the Social Security Act
                Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall not 
            be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to

            procedure to consider the recommendations of a Task Force 
            for Responsible Fiscal Action or other commission that 
            contains recommendations with respect to the old-age, 
            survivors, and disability insurance program established 
            under title II of the Social Security Act, or the taxes 
            received under subchapter A of chapter 9; the taxes imposed 
            by subchapter E of chapter 1; and the taxes collected under 
            section 86 of part II of subchapter B of chapter 1 of the 
            Internal Revenue Code.
            (b) Waiver
                This section may be waived or suspended in the Senate 
            only by the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, 
            duly chosen and sworn.
            (c) Appeals
                An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of 
            the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be required in the 
            Senate to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a 
            point of order raised under this section. (Pub.L. 111-139,

                (1) Short title
                            This section may be cited as the 
                        ``Congressional Hunger Fellows Act of 2002''.
                (2) Findings
                            The Congress finds as follows:

                                (A) There is a critical need for 
                            compassionate individuals who are committed 
                            to assisting people who suffer from hunger 
                            as well as a need for such individuals to 
                            initiate and administer solutions to the 
                            hunger problem.

                                (B) Bill Emerson, the distinguished late 
                            Representative from the 8th District of 
                            Missouri, demonstrated his commitment to 
                            solving the problem of hunger in a 
                            bipartisan manner, his commitment to public 
                            service, and his great affection for the 
                            institution and the ideals of the United 
                            States Congress.

                                (C) George T. (Mickey) Leland, the 
                            distinguished late Representative from the 
                            18th District of Texas, demonstrated his 
                            compassion for those in need, his high 
                            regard for public service, and his lively 
                            exercise of political talents.

                                (D) The special concern that Mr. Emerson 
                            and Mr. Leland demonstrated during their 
                            lives for the hungry and poor was an 
                            inspiration for others to work toward the 
                            goals of equality and justice for all.

                                (E) These two outstanding leaders 
                            maintained a special bond of friendship 
                            regardless of political affiliation and 
                            worked together to encourage future leaders 
                            to recognize and provide service to others, 
                            and therefore it is especially appropriate 
                            to honor the memory of Mr. Emerson and Mr. 
                            Leland by creating a fellowship program to 
                            develop and train the future leaders of the 
                            United States to pursue careers in 
                            humanitarian service.

                There is established as an independent entity of the 
            legislative branch of the United States Government the

                        calendar days of continuous session, or be

            the legislative or executive branch of the United States in 
            the same manner and to the same extent as agencies are

                        Jan. 23, 1995, 109 Stat. 33.)
       571  Sec. 1405. Complaint and hearing.
            (a) In general
                A covered employee may, upon the completion of mediation

            (b) Dismissal
                A hearing officer may dismiss any claim that the hearing

            upon which relief may be granted.
            (c) Hearing officer
                (1) Appointment

                        Executive Director shall appoint an independent 
                        hearing officer to consider the complaint and

                        random basis from the lists developed under 
                        paragraph (2). Nothing in this section shall 
                        prevent the appointment of hearing officers as 
                        full-time employees of the Office or the 
                        selection of hearing officers on the basis of 
                        specialized expertise needed for particular 
                        matters.
                (2) Lists

                        lists, composed of--

                                (A) members of the bar of a State or the 
                            District of Columbia and retired judges of 
                            the United States courts who are experienced 
                            in adjudicating or arbitrating the kinds of 
                            personnel and other matters for which 
                            hearings may be held under this, and

                                (B) individuals expert in technical 
                            matters relating to accessibility and 
                            usability by persons with disabilities or 
                            technical matters relating to occupational 
                            safety and health.

                In developing lists, the Executive Director shall 
            consider candidates recommended by the Federal Mediation and 
            Conciliation Service or the Administrative Conference of the 
            United States.
            (d) Hearing
                Unless a complaint is dismissed before a hearing, a 
            hearing shall be--
                            (1) conducted in closed session on the 
                        record by the hearing officer;
                            (2) commenced no later than 60 days after 
                        filing of the complaint under subsection (a) of 
                        this section, except that the Office may, for 
                        good cause, extend up to an additional 30 days

            proceedings before a hearing officer shall be entered in the 
            records of the Office as a final decision. (Pub.L. 104-1,

                        local, and tribal governments in complying with 
                        Federal mandates, to require analyses of the

            should review and evaluate planned regulations to ensure 
            that the cost estimates provided by the Congressional Budget 
            Office will be carefully considered as regulations are 
            promulgated.
            (b) Statement of cost
                At the request of a committee chairman or ranking 
            minority member, the Director shall, to the extent 
            practicable, prepare a comparison between--
                            (1) an estimate by the relevant agency, 
                        prepared under section 1532 of this title, of 
                        the costs of regulations implementing an Act 
                        containing a Federal mandate; and
                            (2) the cost estimate prepared by the 
                        Congressional Budget Office for such Act when it 
                        was enacted by the Congress.
            (c) Cooperation of Office of Management and Budget
                At the request of the Director of the Congressional 
            Budget Office, the Director of the Office of Management and 
            Budget shall provide data and cost estimates for regulations 
            implementing an Act containing a Federal mandate covered by 
            part B of Title IV of the Congressional Budget and 
            Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 658 et seq.). 
            (Pub.L. 104-4, Title I, Sec. 103, Mar. 22, 1995, 109 Stat. 
            62.)
                                   Effective Date
                Section 110 of Pub.L. 104-4 provided that: ``This title 
            [enacting this subchapter and part B of subchapter II of 
            chapter 17a of this title, and amending sections 602, 632, 
            653 of this title] shall take effect on January 1, 1996 or 
            on the date 90 days after appropriations are made available 
            as authorized under section 109, whichever is earlier and 
            shall apply to legislation considered on and after such 
            date.''
       595  Sec. 1512. Consideration for Federal funding.
                Nothing in this chapter shall preclude a State, local, 
            or tribal government that already complies with all or part 
            of the Federal intergovernmental mandates included in the 
            bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or conference 
            report from consideration for Federal funding under section 
            658d(a)(2) of this title for the cost of the mandate, 
            including the costs the State, local, or tribal government 
            is currently paying and any additional costs necessary to 
            meet the mandate. (Pub.L. 104-4, Title I, Sec. 105, Mar. 22, 
            1995, 109 Stat. 62.)
       596  Sec. 1513. Impact on local governments.
            (a) Findings
                The Senate finds that--
                            (1) the Congress should be concerned about 
                        shifting costs from Federal to State and local 
                        authorities and should be equally concerned 
                        about the growing tendency of States to shift 
                        costs to local governments;
                            (2) cost shifting from States to local 
                        governments has, in many instances, forced local 
                        governments to raise property taxes or curtail 
                        sometimes essential services; and
                            (3) increases in local property taxes and 
                        cuts in essential services threaten the ability 
                        of many citizens to attain and maintain the 
                        American dream of owning a home in a safe, 
                        secure community.
            (b) Sense of the Senate
                It is the sense of the Senate that--
                            (1) the Federal Government should not shift 
                        certain costs to the State, and States should 
                        end the practice of shifting costs to local 
                        governments, which forces many local governments 
                        to increase property taxes;
                            (2) States should end the imposition, in the 
                        absence of full consideration by their 
                        legislatures, of State issued mandates on local 
                        governments without adequate State funding, in a 
                        manner that may displace other essential 
                        government priorities; and
                            (3) one primary objective of this chapter 
                        and other efforts to change the relationship 
                        among Federal, State, and local governments 
                        should be to reduce taxes and spending at all 
                        levels and to end the practice of shifting costs 
                        from one level of government to another with 
                        little or no benefit to taxpayers. (Pub.L. 104-

            points of order relating to Federal mandates, listed by bill 
            or joint resolution number and the subject matter of that 
            measure. (Pub.L. 104-4, Title I, Sec. 107, Mar. 22, 1995,

                The provisions of sections 658 to 658g and 1514 of this 
            title are enacted by Congress--
                            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power 
                        of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
                        respectively, and as such they shall be 
                        considered as part of the rules of such House, 
                        respectively, and such rules shall supersede 
                        other rules only to the extent that they are 
                        inconsistent therewith; and
                            (2) with full recognition of the 
                        constitutional right of either House to change 
                        such rules (so far as relating to such House) at 
                        any time, in the same manner, and to the same 
                        extent as in the case of any other rule of each 
                        House. (Pub.L. 104-4, Title I, Sec. 108, Mar.

       600  Sec. 1531. Regulatory process.
                Each agency shall, unless otherwise prohibited by law, 
            assess the effects of Federal regulatory actions on State, 
            local, and tribal governments, and the private sector (other 
            than to the extent that such regulations incorporate 
            requirements specifically set forth in law). (Pub.L. 104-4, 
            Title II, Sec. 201, Mar. 22, 1995, 109 Stat. 64.)
       601  Sec. 1532. Statements to accompany significant regulatory 
                actions.
            (a) In general
                Unless otherwise prohibited by law, before promulgating 
            any general notice of proposed rulemaking that is likely to 
            result in promulgation of any rule that includes any Federal 
            mandate that may result in the expenditure by State, local, 
            and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private 
            sector, of $100,000,000 or more (adjusted annually for 
            inflation) in any 1 year, and before promulgating any final 
            rule for which a general notice of proposed rulemaking was 
            published, the agency shall prepare a written statement 
            containing--
                            (1) an identification of the provision of 
                        Federal law under which the rule is being 
                        promulgated;
                            (2) a qualitative and quantitative 
                        assessment of the anticipated costs and benefits 
                        of the Federal mandate, including the costs and 
                        benefits to State, local, and tribal governments 
                        or the private sector, as well as the effect of 
                        the Federal mandate of health, safety, and the 
                        natural environment and such an assessment shall 
                        include--

                                (A) an analysis of the extent to which 
                            such costs to State, local, and tribal 
                            governments may be paid with Federal 
                            financial assistance (or otherwise paid for 
                            by the Federal Government); and

                                (B) the extent to which there are 
                            available Federal resources to carry out the 
                            intergovernmental mandate;

                            (3) estimates by the agency, if and to the 
                        extent that the agency determines that accurate 
                        estimates are reasonably feasible, of--

                                (A) the future compliance costs of the 
                            Federal mandate; and

                                (B) any disproportionate budgetary 
                            effects of the Federal mandate upon any 
                            particular regions of the nation or 
                            particular State, local, or tribal 
                            governments, urban or rural or other types 
                            of communities, or particular segments of 
                            the private sector;

                            (4) estimates by the agency of the effect on 
                        the national economy, such as the effect on 
                        productivity, economic growth, full employment, 
                        creation of productive jobs, and international 
                        competitiveness of United States goods and 
                        services, if and to the extent that the agency 
                        in its sole discretion determines that accurate 
                        estimates are reasonably feasible and that such 
                        effect is relevant and material; and
                            (5)(A) a description of the extent of the 
                        agency's prior consultation with elected 
                        representatives (under section 1534 of this 
                        title) of the affected State, local, and tribal 
                        governments;
                            (B) a summary of the comments and concerns 
                        that were presented by State, local, or tribal 
                        governments either orally or in writing to the 
                        agency; and
                            (C) a summary of the agency's evaluation of 
                        those comments and concerns.
            (b) Promulgation
                In promulgating a general notice of proposed rulemaking 
            or a final rule for which a statement under subsection (a) 
            of this section is required, the agency shall include in the 
            promulgation a summary of the information contained in the 
            statement.
            (c) Preparation in conjunction with other statement
                Any agency may prepare any statement required under 
            subsection (a) of this section in conjunction with or as 
            part of any other statement or analysis, provided that the 
            statement or analysis satisfies the provisions of subsection 
            (a) of this section. (Pub.L. 104-4, Title II, Sec. 202, Mar.

            (a) Effects on small governments
                Before establishing any regulatory requirements that 
            might significantly or uniquely affect small governments, 
            agencies shall have developed a plan under which the agency 
            shall--
                            (1) provide notice of the requirements to 
                        potentially affected small governments, if any;
                            (2) enable officials of affected small 
                        governments to provide meaningful and timely 
                        input in the development of regulatory proposals

            (a) In general
                Each agency shall, to the extent permitted in law, 
            develop an effective process to permit elected officers of 
            State, local, and tribal governments (or their designated 
            employees with authority to act on their behalf) to provide 
            meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory 
            proposals containing significant Federal intergovernmental 
            mandates.
            (b) Meetings between State, local, tribal and Federal 
                officers
                The Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.) shall 
            not apply to actions in support of intergovernmental

                            (1) meetings are held exclusively between 
                        Federal officials and elected officers of State, 
                        local, and tribal governments (or their 
                        designated employees with authority to act on 
                        their behalf) acting in their official 
                        capacities; and
                            (2) such meetings are solely for the 
                        purposes of exchanging views, information, or 
                        advice relating to the management or 
                        implementation of Federal programs established

            shall identify and consider a reasonable number of 
            regulatory alternatives and from those alternatives select 
            the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome 
            alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule, for--
                            (1) State, local, and tribal governments, in 
                        the case of a rule containing a Federal 
                        intergovernmental mandate; and
                            (2) the private sector, in the case of a 
                        rule containing a Federal private sector 
                        mandate.
            (b) Exception
                The provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall 
            apply unless--
                            (1) the head of the affected agency 
                        publishes with the final rule an explanation of 
                        why the least costly, most cost-effective or 
                        least burdensome method of achieving the 
                        objectives of the rule was not adopted; or
                            (2) the provisions are inconsistent with 
                        law.

                     Subchapter III.--Review of Federal Mandates

       608  Sec. 1551. Baseline study of costs and benefits.
            (a) In general
                No later than 18 months after March 22, 1995, the 
            Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations 
            (hereafter in this title referred to as the ``Advisory 
            Commission''), in consultation with the Director, shall 
            complete a study to examine the measurement and definition 
            issues involved in calculating the total costs and benefits 
            to State, local, and tribal governments of compliance with 
            Federal law.
            (b) Considerations
                The study required by this sections shall consider--
                            (1) the feasibility of measuring indirect 
                        costs and benefits as well as direct costs and 
                        benefits of the Federal, State, local, and 
                        tribal relationship; and
                            (2) how to measure both the direct and 
                        indirect benefits of Federal financial 
                        assistance and tax benefits to State, local, and 
                        tribal governments. (Pub.L. 104-4, Title III, 
                        Sec. 301, Mar. 22, 1995, 109 Stat. 67.)
       609  Sec. 1552. Report on Federal mandates by Advisory Commission 
                on Intergovernmental Relations.
            (a) In general
                The Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations 
            shall in accordance with this section--
                            (1) investigate and review the role of 
                        Federal mandates in intergovernmental relations 
                        and their impact on State, local, tribal, and 
                        Federal government objectives and 
                        responsibilities, and their impact on the 
                        competitive balance between State, local, and 
                        tribal governments, and the private sector and 
                        consider views of and the impact on working men 
                        and women on those same matters;
                            (2) investigate and review the role of 
                        unfunded State mandates imposed on local 
                        governments;
                            (3) make recommendations to the President 
                        and the Congress regarding--

                                (A) allowing flexibility for State, 
                            local, and tribal governments in complying 
                            with specific Federal mandates for which 
                            terms of compliance are unnecessarily rigid 
                            or complex;

                                (B) reconciling any two or more Federal 
                            mandates which impose contradictory or 
                            inconsistent requirements;

                                (C) terminating Federal mandates which 
                            are duplicative, obsolete, or lacking in 
                            practical utility;

                                (D) suspending, on a temporary basis, 
                            Federal mandates which are not vital to 
                            public health and safety and which compound 
                            the fiscal difficulties of State, local, and 
                            tribal governments, including 
                            recommendations for triggering such 
                            suspension;

                                (E) consolidating or simplifying Federal 
                            mandates, or the planning or reporting 
                            requirements of such mandates, in order to 
                            reduce duplication and facilitate compliance 
                            by State, local, and tribal governments with 
                            those mandates;

                                (F) establishing common Federal 
                            definitions or standards to be used by 
                            State, local, and tribal governments in 
                            complying with Federal mandates that use 
                            different definitions or standards for the 
                            same terms or principles; and

                                (G)(i) the mitigation of negative 
                            impacts on the private sector that may 
                            result from relieving State, local, and 
                            tribal governments from Federal mandates (if 
                            and to the extent that such negative impacts 
                            exist on the private sector); and

                                (ii) the feasibility of applying relief 
                            from Federal mandates in the same manner and 
                            to the same extent to private sector 
                            entities as such relief is applied to State, 
                            local, and tribal governments; and

                            (4) identify and consider in each 
                        recommendation made under paragraph (3), to the 
                        extent practicable--

                                (A) the specific Federal mandates to 
                            which the recommendation applies, including 
                            requirements of the departments, agencies, 
                            and other entities of the Federal Government 
                            that State, local, and tribal governments 
                            utilize metric systems of measurement; and

                                (B) any negative impact on the private 
                            sector that may result from implementation 
                            of the recommendation.

            (b) Criteria

                   Chapter 26.--DISCLOSURE OF LOBBYING ACTIVITIES

       615  Sec. 1601. Findings.
                The Congress finds that--
                            (1) responsible representative Government 
                        requires public awareness of the efforts of paid 
                        lobbyists to influence the public decision-
                        making process in both the legislative and 
                        executive branches of the Federal Government;
                            (2) existing lobbying disclosure statutes 
                        have been ineffective because of unclear 
                        statutory language, weak administrative and 
                        enforcement provisions, and an absence of clear 
                        guidance as to who is required to register and 
                        what they are required to disclose; and
                            (3) the effective public disclosure of the 
                        identity and extent of the efforts of paid 
                        lobbyists to influence Federal officials in the 
                        conduct of Government actions will increase 
                        public confidence in the integrity of 
                        Government. (Pub.L. 104-65, Sec. 2, Dec. 19, 
                        1995, 109 Stat. 691.)
       616  Sec. 1602. Definitions.
                As used in this chapter:
                            (1) Agency

                                The term ``agency'' has the meaning 
                            given that term in section 551(1) of title 
                            5.

                            (2) Client

                                The term ``client'' means any person or 
                            entity that employs or retains another 
                            person for financial or other compensation 
                            to conduct lobbying activities on behalf of 
                            that person or entity. A person or entity 
                            whose employees act as lobbyists on its own 
                            behalf is both a client and an employer of 
                            such employees. In the case of a coalition 
                            or association that employs or retains other 
                            persons to conduct lobbying activities, the 
                            client is the coalition or association and 
                            not its individual members.

                            (3) Covered executive branch official

                                The term ``covered executive branch 
                            official'' means--

                                        (A) the President;

                                        (D) any officer or employee 
                                    serving in a position in level I, 
                                    II, III, IV, or V of the Executive 
                                    Schedule, as designated by statute 
                                    or Executive order;

                                        (E) any member of the uniformed 
                                    services whose pay grade is at or 
                                    above O-7 under section 201 of title 
                                    37; and

                                        (F) any officer or employee 
                                    serving in a position of a 
                                    confidential, policy-determining,

                                    7511(b)(2)(B) of title 5.

                The Comptroller General may, in carrying out this 
            section, request information from and access to any relevant 
            documents from any person registered under paragraph (1) or

            pay a bonus to an individual who is newly appointed to a 
            position as an officer or employee of the Capitol Police, 
            and to pay an additional bonus to an individual who must 
            relocate to accept a position as an officer or employee of 
            the Capitol Police, if the Chief, in the Chief's sole 
            discretion, determines that such a bonus will assist the

            subsection shall be determined by regulations of the Board, 
            but the amount of any bonus paid to an individual under this 
            subsection may not exceed 25 percent of the annual rate of 
            basic pay of the position to which the individual is being

            Police to complete a period of employment with the Capitol 
            Police, with the required period determined pursuant to 
            regulations of the Board. If the individual voluntarily 
            fails to complete such period of service or is separated 
            from the service before completion of such period of service 
            for cause on charges of misconduct or delinquency, the 
            individual shall repay the bonus on a pro rata basis.

            under this subsection shall be paid as a lump sum, and may

            determination of the Chief under this subsection shall not 
            be appealable or reviewable in any manner.
            (b) Retention allowances
                (1) Authorization of payment.--The Board may authorize 
            the Chief to pay an allowance to an officer or employee of 
            the United States Capitol Police if the Chief, in the 
            Chief's sole discretion, determines that such a bonus will 
            assist the Capitol Police in retention efforts.
                (2) Amount of payment.--A retention allowance, which 
            shall be stated as a percentage of the rate of basic pay of 
            the officer or employee, may not exceed 25 percent of such 
            rate of basic pay.
                (3) Payment not considered part of basic pay.--A 
            retention allowance may not be considered to be part of the 
            basic pay of an officer or employee, and any determination 
            of the Chief under this subsection, or the reduction or 
            elimination of a retention allowance, shall not be 
            appealable or reviewable in any manner. The preceding 
            sentence shall not be construed to extinguish or lessen any 
            right or remedy under any of the laws made applicable to the 
            Capitol Police pursuant to section 1302 of Title 2.
                (4) Time and manner of payment.--A retention allowance 
            under this subsection shall be paid at the same time and in 
            the same manner as the officer's or employee's basic pay is 
            paid.
            (c) Lump sum incentive and merit bonus payments
                (1) In general.--The Board may pay an incentive or merit 
            bonus to an officer or employee of the United States Capitol 
            Police who meets such criteria for receiving the bonus as

                        calendar year to the extent that, when added to 
                        the total basic pay paid or payable to such 
                        employee for service performed in the year, such

                            Subject to the joint approval of the Chief 
                        Administrative Officer of the House of

                        the Chief of the United States Capitol Police 
                        may waive in whole or in part a claim of the

                        employee of the United States Capitol Police, if 
                        the collection of the claim would be against 
                        equity and good conscience and not in the best 
                        interests of the United States.
            (b) Investigation of application; report
                            The Chief shall investigate each application 
                        for the waiver of a claim under subsection (a) 
                        and shall submit a written report of the 
                        investigation, including a description of the 
                        facts and circumstances of the claim, to the

                        Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate, 
                        except that if the aggregate amount of the claim 
                        involved exceeds $1,500, the Comptroller General 
                        may also investigate the application and submit 
                        a written report of the investigation, including 
                        a description of the facts and circumstances of 
                        the claim, to the Chief Administrative Officer

                        waive a claim under subsection (a) if----

                                (1) in the Chief's opinion, there exists 
                            in connection with the claim an indication 
                            of fraud, misrepresentation, fault, or lack 
                            of good faith on the part of the officer, 
                            member, or employee involved or of any other 
                            person having an interest in obtaining a 
                            waiver of the claim; or

                                (2) the Chief receives the application 
                            for the waiver after the expiration of the 
                            3-year period that begins on the date on 
                            which the erroneous payment of pay or 
                            allowances was discovered.

            (d) Credit for waiver
                            In the audit and settlement of accounts of 
                        any accountable officer or official, full credit 
                        shall be given for any amounts with respect to 
                        which collection by the United States is waived 
                        under subsection (a).
            (e) Effect of waiver
                            An erroneous payment, the collection of 
                        which is waived under subsection (a), is deemed 
                        a valid payment for all purposes.
            (f) Construction with other laws
                            This section does not affect any authority 
                        under any other law to litigate, settle, 
                        compromise, or waive any claim of the United 
                        States.

                            Subject to the approval of the Chief 
                        Administrative Officer of the House of 
                        Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate, 
                        the Chief shall promulgate rules and regulations

                        payments of pay and allowances made at any time

                        for the United States Capitol Police pursuant to 
                        section 1907(a) of this title. (Pub.L. 112-74,

                (3) A committee providing assistance under this 
            subsection shall obtain from any employee receiving such 
            assistance such agreement with respect to continued

            this section.

                (2)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), effective at the

            pay under the General Schedule, each annual rate referred to 
            in paragraph (1) shall be adjusted by an amount, rounded to 
            the nearest multiple of $100 (or if midway between multiples

            effect under subparagraph (A) in any calendar year (before 
            rounding), in any rate of pay, exceed the percentage 
            adjustment taking effect in such calendar year under section

                        rates of pay are fixed by or pursuant to law at 
                        specific rates, adjust such rates (including the 
                        adjustment of such specific rates to maximum pay 
                        rates) and, in the case of all other personnel

                            (2) adjust any limitation or allowance 
                        applicable to such personnel;

            by percentages which are equal or equivalent, insofar as 
            practicable and with such exceptions as may be necessary to 
            provide for appropriate pay relationships between positions,

            corresponding rates of pay for employees subject to the 
            General Schedule contained in section 5332 of such title and 
            adjust the rates of such personnel by such amounts as 
            necessary to restore the same pay relationships that existed 
            on December 31, 1986, between personnel and Senators and 
            between positions. Such rates, limitations, and allowances 
            adjusted by the President pro tempore shall become effective 
            on the first day of the month in which any adjustment 
            becomes effective under such section 5303 or section 3(c) of 
            this Act.

                (b) The adjustments made by the President pro tempore 
            shall be made in such manner as he considers advisable and 
            shall have the force and effect of law.
                (c) Nothing in this section shall impair any authority 
            pursuant to which rates of pay may be fixed by 
            administrative action.
                (d) No rate of pay shall be adjusted under the 
            provisions of this section to an amount in excess of the 
            rate of basic pay for level III of the Executive Schedule 
            contained in section 5314 of Title 5, except in cases in 
            which it is necessary to restore and maintain the same pay 
            relationships that existed on December 31, 1986, between 
            personnel and Senators and between positions.
                (e) Any percentage used in any statute specifically 
            providing for an adjustment in rates of pay in lieu of an 
            adjustment made under section 5303 of Title 5, and, as the 
            case may be, section 5304 or 5304a of such title for any 
            calendar year shall be treated as the percentage used in an 
            adjustment made under such section 5303, 5304, or 5304a, as 
            applicable, for purposes of subsection (a).

       874  Sec. 4575. Gross rate of compensation of employees paid by 
                Secretary of Senate.
            (a) Annual rate; certification
                (1) Whenever the rate of compensation of any employee 
            whose compensation is disbursed by the Secretary of the 
            Senate is fixed or adjusted on or after October 1, 1980, 
            such rate as so fixed or adjusted shall be at a single whole 
            dollar per annum gross rate and may not include a fractional 
            part of a dollar.
                (2) New or changed rates of compensation (other than 
            changes in rates which are made by law) of any such employee 
            (other than an employee who is an elected officer of the 
            Senate) shall be certified in writing to the Disbursing 
            Office of the Senate (and, for purposes of this paragraph, a 
            new rate of compensation refers to compensation in the case 
            of an appointment, transfer from one Senate appointing 
            authority to another, or promotion by an appointing 
            authority to a position the compensation for which is fixed 
            by law). In the case of an appointment or other new rate of 
            compensation, the certification must be received by such 
            office on or before the day the rate of new compensation is 
            to become effective. In any other case, the changed rate of 
            compensation shall take effect on the first day of the month 
            in which such certification is received (if such 
            certification is received within the first ten days of such 
            month), on the first day of the month after the month in 
            which such certification is received (if the day on which 
            such certification is received is after the twenty-fifth day 
            of the month in which it is received), and on the sixteenth 
            day of the month in which such certification is received (if 
            such certification is received after the tenth day and 
            before the twenty-sixth day of such month). Notwithstanding 
            the preceding sentence, if the certification for a changed 
            rate of compensation for an employee specifies an effective 
            date of such change, such change shall become effective on 
            the date so specified, but only if the date so specified is 
            the first or sixteenth day of a month and is after the 
            effective date prescribed in the preceding sentence; and, 
            notwithstanding such sentence and the preceding provisions 
            of this sentence, any changed rate of compensation for a new 
            employee or an employee transferred from one appointing 
            authority to another shall take effect on the date of such 
            employee's appointment or transfer (as the case may be) if 
            such date is later than the effective date for such changed 
            rate of compensation as prescribed by such sentence.

            (c) Reference in other provisions to basic rates and 
                additional compensation as reference to per annum gross 
                rate
                In any case in which the rate of compensation of any 
            employee or position, or class of employees or positions, 
            the compensation for which is disbursed by the Secretary of 
            the Senate, or any maximum or minimum rate with respect to 
            any such employee, position, or class, is referred to in or 
            provided by statute or Senate resolution, and the rate so 
            referred to or provided is a basic rate with respect to 
            which additional compensation is provided by law, such 
            statutory provision or resolution shall be deemed to refer, 
            in lieu of such basic rate, to the per annum gross rate 
            which an employee receiving such basic rate immediately 
            prior to August 1, 1967, would receive (without regard to 
            such statutory provision or resolution) under subsection (b) 
            of this section on and after such date.
            (d) Compensation of employees in office of Senator; 
                limitation; titles of positions
            Note
                This subsection sets forth the maximum and minimum 
            salaries which may be paid to employees in the office of a 
            Senator. These figures are changed annually by Orders of the 
            President pro tempore of the Senate issued under authority 
            of section 4 of the Federal Pay Comparability Act of 1970. 
            For the current figures consult the Senate Disbursing 
            Office.
                Each Member of the Senate is authorized by section 
            111(c) of the Legislative Branch Appropriation Act, 1978 
            (Pub. Law 95-94, 91 Stat. 662-663, Aug. 5, 1977), to 
            designate employees in his office to assist him in 
            connection with his membership on committees of the Senate. 
            With certain exceptions, an employee so designated is to be 
            accorded all privileges of a professional staff member of 
            the committee to which designated. The text of section 
            111(c) is as follows:
                (c)(1) A Senator may designate employees in his office 
            to assist him in connection with his membership on 
            committees of the Senate. An employee may be designated with 
            respect to only one committee.
                (2) An employee designated by a Senator under this 
            subsection shall be certified by him to the chairman and 
            ranking minority member of the committee with respect to 
            which such designation is made. Such employee shall be 
            accorded all privileges of a professional staff member 
            (whether permanent or investigatory) of such committee 
            including access to all committee sessions and files, except 
            that any such committee may restrict access to its sessions 
            to one staff member per Senator at a time and require, if 
            classified material is being handled or discussed, that any 
            staff member possess the appropriate security clearance 
            before being allowed access to such material or to 
            discussion of it. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall 
            be construed to prohibit a committee from adopting policies 
            and practices with respect to the application of this 
            subsection which are similar to the policies and practices 
            adopted with respect to the application of section 705(c)(1) 
            of Senate Resolution 4, 95th Congress, and section 106(c)(1) 
            of the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1977.
                (3) A Senator shall notify the chairman and ranking 
            minority member of a committee whenever a designation of an 
            employee under this subsection with respect to such 
            committee is terminated.
                Sec. 111(a) provides for an amount to be added to each 
            Senator's Official Personnel and Expense Account for 
            compensation of committee-related employees authorized under 
            subsection (c). This amount is subject to change annually by 
            Orders of the President pro tempore of the Senate issued 
            under authority of section 4 of the Federal Pay 
            Comparability Act of 1970. For the current figure consult 
            the Senate Disbursing Office.
                Sec. 111(b) repealed, effective the first day of the 
            100th Congress. (Oct. 21, 1987, Sec. 3, Pub.L. 100-137, 101 
            Stat. 819.)
            (e) Gross rate of compensation of employee of committee of 
                Senate employed by joint committee, select committee, or 
                standing committee
            Note
                This subsection sets forth the uniform maximum salary 
            that may be paid to all committee employees. These figures 
            are changed annually by Orders of the President pro tempore 
            of the Senate issued under authority of section 4 of the 
            Federal Pay Comparability Act of 1970. For the current 
            figures consult the Senate Disbursing Office.
            (f) General limitation
            Note
                This subsection sets forth the maximum and minimum 
            salaries which may be paid to Senate employees (other than 
            committee employees, employees in a Senator's office, and 
            employees serving in a position the salary of which is 
            prescribed by law). These figures are changed annually by 
            Orders of the President pro tempore of the Senate issued 
            under authority of section 4 of the Federal Pay 
            Comparability Act of 1970. For the current figures consult

                        office from which the amount involved was 
                        originally paid. Any amount so credited shall be 
                        merged with other sums in such subaccount for 
                        the employing office and shall be available for 
                        the same purposes, and subject to the same 
                        limitations (if any), as the sums with which

                            the holder of the loan that the eligible

                        enter into a service agreement under this

                        of an eligible employee at the same time or 
                        separately, if the total payments on behalf of 
                        such employee do not exceed the limits under 
                        subsection (c)(2)(A).
                (5) Treatment of payments
                            Student loan payments made on behalf of an 
                        eligible employee under this section shall be in 
                        addition to any basic pay and other forms of

                        employee, and shall be subject to withholding 
                        for income and employment tax obligations as 
                        provided for by law.
                (6) No relief from liability
                            An agreement to make student loan payments 
                        under this section shall not exempt an eligible 
                        employee from the responsibility or liability of 
                        the employee with respect to the loan involved 
                        and the eligible employee shall continue to be 
                        responsible for making student loan payments on 
                        the portion of any loan that is not covered 
                        under the terms of the service agreement.
                (7) Reduction in payments
                            Notwithstanding the terms of a service 
                        agreement under this section, the head of an 
                        employing office may reduce the amount of 
                        student loan payments made under the agreement 
                        if adequate funds are not available to such 
                        office. If the head of the employing office 
                        decides to reduce the amount of student loan 
                        payments for an eligible employee, the head of 
                        the office and the employee may mutually agree 
                        to terminate the service agreement.
                (8) No right to continued employment
                            A service agreement under this section shall 
                        not be construed to create a right to, promise 
                        of, or entitlement to the continued employment 
                        of the eligible employee.
                (9) No entitlement
                            A student loan payment under this section 
                        shall not be construed to be an entitlement for 
                        any eligible employee.
                (10) Treatment of payments
                            A student loan payment under this section--

                                (A) shall not be basic pay of an 
                            employee for purposes of chapters 83 and 84 
                            of Title 5, United States Code (relating to

                                (B) shall not be included in Federal 
                            wages for purposes of chapter 85 of such 
                            title (relating to unemployment 
                            compensation).

            (g) Allocation of funds
                (1) Maximum amount
                            In this subsection, the term ``maximum 
                        amount,'' used with respect to a fiscal year,

            (a) Waiver of claim for erroneous payment of pay or

            out of an erroneous payment of any pay or allowances, other 
            than travel and transportation expenses and allowances, on 
            or after July 25, 1974, to the Vice President, a Senator, or

            against equity and good conscience and not in the best 
            interests of the United States, may be waived in whole or in 
            part by the Secretary of the Senate. An application for 
            waiver shall be investigated by the Financial Clerk of the 
            Senate who shall submit a written report of his 
            investigation to the Secretary of the Senate. An application 
            for waiver of a claim in an amount aggregating more than 
            $1,500 may also be investigated by the Comptroller General 
            of the United States who shall submit a written report of 
            his investigation to the Secretary of the Senate.
            (b) Prohibition of waiver
                The Secretary of the Senate may not exercise his 
            authority under this section to waive any claim--
                            (1) if, in his opinion, there exists, in 
                        connection with the claim, an indication of 
                        fraud, misrepresentation, fault, or lack of good 
                        faith on the part of the Vice President, the 
                        Senator, the officer or employee, or any other 
                        person having an interest in obtaining a waiver 
                        of the claim; or
                            (2) if the application for waiver is 
                        received in his office after the expiration of 3 
                        years immediately following the date on which 
                        the erroneous payment of pay or allowances was 
                        discovered.
            (c) Credit for waiver
                In the audit and settlement of accounts of any 
            accountable officer or official, full credit shall be given 
            for any amounts with respect to which collection by the 
            United States is waived under this section.
            (d) Effect of waiver
                An erroneous payment, the collection of which is waived 
            under this section, is deemed a valid payment for all 
            purposes.
            (e) Construction with other laws
                This section does not affect any authority under any 
            other law to litigate, settle, compromise, or waive any 
            claim of the United States.
            (f) Rules and regulations

                        collection of an income tax by imposing upon 
                        employers generally the duty of withholding sums

                        employees who are residents of such State;

            then the Secretary of the Senate is authorized, in

                            such withholdings for remittance to that 
                            State.

            (b) Number of remittances authorized

            his pay for remittance to the appropriate authorities of the 
            State that he designates. Amounts of withholdings shall be 
            made in accordance with those provisions of the law of that 
            State which apply generally to withholding by employers.
                (2) An individual may have in effect at any time only 
            one request for withholdings, and he may not have more than 
            two such requests in effect with respect to different States 
            during any one calendar year.

            The request for withholdings is effective on the first day

                        withholdings shall be effective on such date as 
                        the Secretary may determine; and
                            (B) when an individual first receives an

                (3) An individual may change the State designated by him 
            for the purposes of having withholdings made and request 
            that the withholdings be remitted in accordance with such 
            change, and he may also revoke his request for withholdings. 
            Any change in the State designated or revocation is 
            effective on the first day of the first month commencing 
            after the day on which the request for change or the 
            revocation is received in the Disbursing Office.
                (4) The Secretary is authorized to issue rules and 
            regulations he considers appropriate in carrying out this

                        that exceed the restrictions in this rule, other 
                        than a suitable memento, (6) meals or beverages 
                        consumed or enjoyed, provided the meals or 
                        beverages are not consumed or enjoyed in

            reasonable diligence to obtain the information necessary to 
            comply with this rule, unknowingly accepts a gift described 
            in paragraph (1) such Member, officer, or employee shall, 
            upon learning of the nature of the gift and its source, 
            return the gift or, if it is not possible to return the 
            gift, reimburse the donor for the value of the gift.
                (5)(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of this 
            subsection, a Member, officer, or employee of the Senate may

            foreign educational or charitable organization involving 
            travel to a foreign country paid for by that foreign 
            government or organization if such participation is not in 
            violation of any law and if the Select Committee on Ethics 
            has determined that participation in such program by 
            Members, officers, or employees of the Senate is in the 
            interests of the Senate and the United States.
                (B) Any Member who accepts an invitation to participate 
            in any such program shall notify the Select Committee in 
            writing of his acceptance. A Member shall also notify the 
            Select Committee in writing whenever he has permitted any 
            officer or employee whom he supervises to participate in any 
            such program. The chairman of the Select Committee shall 
            place in the Congressional Record a list of all individuals, 
            participating, the supervisors of such individuals where 
            applicable, and the nature and itinerary of such program.
                (C) No Member, officer, or employee may accept funds in 
            connection with participation in a program permitted under 
            subparagraph (A) if such funds are not used for necessary 
            food, lodging, transportation, and related expenses of the 
            Member, officer, or employee.
            (b) Limits on domestic and foreign travel by Members and 
                staff of Senate
                The term ``necessary expenses'', with respect to limits 
            on domestic and foreign travel by Members and staff of the 
            Senate, means reasonable expenses for food, lodging, or 
            transportation which are incurred by a Member, officer, or 
            employee of the Senate in connection with services provided 
            to (or participation in an event sponsored by) the 
            organization which provides reimbursement for such expenses 
            or which provides the food, lodging, or transportation 
            directly. Necessary expenses do not include the provision of 
            food, lodging, or transportation, or the payment for such 
            expenses, for a continuous period in excess of 3 days 
            exclusive of travel time within the United States or 7 days 
            exclusive of travel time outside of the United States unless 
            such travel is approved by the Committee on Ethics as 
            necessary for participation in a conference, seminar, 
            meeting or similar matter. Necessary expenses do not include 
            the provision of food, lodging, or transportation, or the 
            payment for such expenses, for anyone accompanying a Member, 
            officer, or employee of the Senate, other than the spouse or 
            child of such Member, officer, or employee of the Senate or 
            one Senate employee acting as an aide to a Member. (Pub.L.

                For purposes of subsections (a) and (e) of this section, 
            an individual who is selected by a Senator to serve on a

            Washington, District of Columbia, and each of the service 
            academies, (B) for official expenses incurred in performing 
            such duties. For purposes of this subsection and subsection 
            (a) of this section, ``official expenses'' means expenses of 
            the type for which reimbursement may be made to an employee 
            in the office of a Senator when traveling on business of a

            accounting purposes, such expenses shall be treated as 
            expenses for which reimbursement may be made under 
            subsection (a)(4) of this section.

            incurred an expense for which reimbursement may be made 
            under this section, the Secretary of the Senate is 
            authorized to make payment to that Senator or employee for 
            the expense incurred, subject to the same terms and 
            conditions as apply to reimbursement of the expense under 
            this section.
            (j) Advances from Senate contingent fund for travel expenses 
                for official business trips; vouchers; settlement
                Whenever a Senator or employee of his office plans an 
            official business trip with respect to which reimbursement 
            for travel expenses is authorized under the preceding 
            provisions of section (a), the Senator (or such an employee 
            who has been designated by the Senator to do so) may, prior 
            to the commencement of such trip and in accordance with 
            applicable regulations of the Senate Committee on Rules and 
            Administration, obtain from any moneys in the contingent 
            fund of the Senate which are available to him for purposes 
            specified in subsection (a)(6) of this section, such advance 
            sum as he shall certify (and be accountable for), to the 
            Secretary of the Senate, to be necessary to defray some or 
            all of the expenses to be incurred on such trip which 
            expenses are reimbursable under the preceding provisions of 
            this section. The receipt by any Senator for any sum so 
            advanced to him or his order out of the contingent fund of 
            the Senate by the Secretary of the Senate shall be taken and 
            passed by the accounting officers of the Government as a 
            full and sufficient voucher; but it shall be the duty of 
            such Senator (or employee of his office, as the case may 
            be), as soon as practicable, to furnish to the Secretary of 
            the Senate a detailed voucher of the expenses incurred for 
            the travel with respect to which the sum was so advanced, 
            and make settlement with respect to such sum. (Pub.L. 92-

                In lieu of the volumes of the Code of Laws of the United 
            States, and the supplements thereto, supplied a Senator 
            under section 212 of Title 1, the Secretary of the Senate is

                            (1) one copy of each of the volumes of the 
                        United States Code Annotated being published at

            Sec. 6317. Home State office space for Senators; lease of 
                office space.
            (a) Procurement by Sergeant at Arms of Senate in places 
                designated by Senator; places subject to use; lease of 
                office space
                (1) The Sergeant at Arms of the Senate shall secure for 
            each Senator office space suitable for the Senator's 
            official use in places designated by the Senator in the 
            State he represents. That space shall be secured in post 
            offices or other Federal buildings at such places. In the 
            event suitable office space is not available in post offices 
            or other Federal buildings, the Sergeant at Arms shall 
            secure other office space in those places.
                (2) The Senator may lease, on behalf of the United 
            States Senate, the office space so secured for a term not 
            extending beyond the term of office which he is serving on 
            the first day of such lease, except that, in the case of a 
            Senator whose term of office is expiring and who has been 
            elected for another term, such lease may extend until the 
            end of the term for which he has been so elected. Each such 
            lease shall contain a provision permitting its cancellation 
            upon sixty days written notice by the Sergeant at Arms and 
            Doorkeeper of the Senate, in the event of the death or 
            resignation of the Senator. A copy of each such lease shall 
            be furnished to the Sergeant at Arms. Nothing in this 
            paragraph shall be construed to require the Sergeant at Arms 
            to enter into or execute any lease for or on behalf of a 
            Senator.
            (b) Maximum amount of aggregate square feet for each Senator
                The aggregate square feet of office space secured for 
            each Senator shall not at any time exceed--
                            (1) 5,000 square feet if the population of 
                        the State of the Senator is less than 3,000,000;
                            (2) 5,200 square feet if such population is 
                        3,000,000 but less than 4,000,000;
                            (3) 5,400 square feet if such population is 
                        4,000,000 but less than 5,000,000;
                            (4) 5,800 square feet if such population is 
                        5,000,000 but less than 7,000,000;
                            (5) 6,200 square feet if such population is

                            (6) 6,400 square feet if such population is 
                        9,000,000 but less than 10,000,000;
                            (7) 6,600 square feet if such population is 
                        10,000,000 but less than 11,000,000;
                            (8) 6,800 square feet if such population is 
                        11,000,000 but less than 12,000,000;
                            (9) 7,000 square feet if such population is 
                        12,000,000 but less than 13,000,000;
                            (10) 7,400 square feet if such population is 
                        13,000,000 but less than 15,000,000;
                            (11) 7,800 square feet if such population is 
                        15,000,000 but less than 17,000,000; or
                            (12) 8,200 square feet if such population is 
                        17,000,000 or more.
            (c) Maximum annual rental rate; maximum aggregate amount for 
                acquisition of furniture, equipment, and other office 
                furnishings
                (1) The maximum annual rate that may be paid for the 
            rental of an office secured for a Senator not in a post 
            office or other Federal building shall not exceed the 
            highest rate per square foot charged Federal agencies on the 
            first day of the lease of such office by the Administrator 
            of General Services, based upon a 100 percent building 
            quality rating, for office space located in the place in 
            which the Senator's office is located, multiplied by the 
            number of square feet contained in that office used by the 
            Senator and his employees to perform their duties.
                (2) The aggregate amount that may be paid for the 
            acquisition of furniture, equipment, and other office 
            furnishings heretofore provided by the Administrator of 
            General Services for one or more offices secured for the 
            Senator is $40,000 if the aggregate square feet of office 
            space is not in excess of 5,000 square feet. Such amount is 
            increased by $1,000 for each authorized additional 
            incremental increase in office space of 200 square feet. 
            Effective beginning with the 106th Congress, the aggregate 
            amount in effect under this paragraph for any Congress shall 
            be increased by the inflation adjustment factor for the 
            calendar year in which the Congress begins. For purposes of 
            the preceding sentence, the inflation adjustment factor for 
            any calendar year is a fraction the numerator of which is 
            the implicit price deflator for the gross domestic product 
            as computed and published by the Department of Commerce for 
            the preceding calendar year and the denominator of which is 
            such deflator for the calendar year 1998.
            (d) Senators subject to maximum amount of aggregate square 
                feet and maximum annual rental rate
                (1) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, the 
            aggregate square feet of office space secured for a Senator 
            who is a Senator on July 1, 1974, shall not at any time 
            exceed, as long as he continuously serves as a Senator, the

            States, a certificate of such determination in form and 
            manner as the same shall have been made; and the certificate 
            or certificates so received by the Archivist of the United 
            States, shall be preserved by him for one year and shall be 
            a part of the public records of his office and shall be open 
            to public inspection; and the Archivist of the United 
            States, at the first meeting of Congress thereafter shall

            644, Sec. 1, 62 Stat. 674.)
      1109  Sec. 10. Sealing and endorsing certificates.
                The electors shall seal up the certificates so made by 
            them, and certify upon each that the lists of all the votes 
            of such States given for President, and of all the votes 
            given for Vice President, are contained therein. (June 25, 
            1948, ch. 644, Sec. 1, 62 Stat. 674.)
      1110  Sec. 11. Disposition of certificates.
                The electors shall dispose of the certificates so made 
            by them and the lists attached thereto in the following

            subject to the order of the President of the Senate, the 
            other to be preserved by him for one year and shall be a

            to public inspection.
                Third. On the day thereafter they shall forward by 
            registered mail two of such certificates and lists to the 
            Archivist of the United States at the seat of government, 
            one of which shall be held subject to the order of the 
            President of the Senate. The other shall be preserved by the 
            Archivist of the United States for one year and shall be a 
            part of the public records of his office and shall be open 
            to public inspection.
                Fourth. They shall forthwith cause the other of the 
            certificates and lists to be delivered to the judge of the 
            district in which the electors shall have assembled. (Oct. 
            31, 1951, ch. 655, Sec. 7, 65 Stat. 712; Oct. 19, 1984, 
            Pub.L. 98-497, Title I, Sec. 107(e)(1), 98 Stat. 2291.)

                President of Senate or Archivist of the United States; 
                demand on State for certificate.
                When no certificate of vote and list mentioned in

            Archivist of the United States by the fourth Wednesday in 
            December, after the meeting of the electors shall have been 
            held, the President of the Senate or, if he be absent from 
            the seat of government, the Archivist of the United States 
            shall request, by the most expeditious method available, the 
            secretary of state of the State to send up the certificate 
            and list lodged with him by the electors of such State; and 
            it shall be his duty upon receipt of such request 
            immediately to transmit same by registered mail to the 
            President of the Senate at the seat of government. (Oct. 31, 
            1951, ch. 655, Sec. 8, 65 Stat. 712; Oct. 19, 1984, Pub.L.

            been received at the seat of government on the fourth 
            Wednesday in December, after the meeting of the electors 
            shall have been held, the President of the Senate or, if he 
            be absent from the seat of government, the Archivist of the 
            United States shall send a special messenger to the district 
            judge in whose custody one certificate of votes from the 
            State has been lodged, and such judge shall forthwith 
            transmit that list by the hand of such messenger to the seat 
            of government. (Oct. 31, 1951, ch. 655, Sec. 9, 65 Stat. 
            712; Oct. 19, 1984, Pub.L. 98-497, Title I, Sec. 107(e)(1), 
            98 Stat. 2291.)
      1113  Sec. 14. Forfeiture for messenger's neglect of duty.
                Every person who, having been appointed, pursuant to 
            section 13 of this title, to deliver the certificates of the 
            votes of the electors to the President of the Senate, and 
            having accepted such appointment, shall neglect to perform 
            the services required from him, shall forfeit the sum of 
            $1,000.  (June 25, 1948, ch. 644, Sec. 1, 62 Stat. 675.)
      1114  Sec. 15. Counting electoral votes in Congress.
                Congress shall be in session on the sixth day of January 
            succeeding every meeting of the electors. The Senate and 
            House of Representatives shall meet in the Hall of the House 
            of Representatives at the hour of 1 o'clock in the afternoon 
            on that day, and the President of the Senate shall be their 
            presiding officer. Two tellers shall be previously appointed 
            on the part of the Senate and two on the part of the House 
            of Representatives, to whom shall be handed, as they are 
            opened by the President of the Senate, all the certificates 
            and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral 
            votes, which certificates and papers shall be opened, 
            presented, and acted upon in the alphabetical order of the 
            States, beginning with the letter A; and said tellers, 
            having then read the same in the presence and hearing of the 
            two Houses, shall make a list of the votes as they shall 
            appear from the said certificates; and the votes having been 
            ascertained and counted according to the rules in this 
            subchapter provided, the result of the same shall be 
            delivered to the President of the Senate, who shall 
            thereupon announce the state of the vote, which announcement 
            shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if 
            any, elected President and Vice President of the United 
            States, and, together with a list of the votes, be entered 
            on the Journals of the two Houses. Upon such reading of any 
            such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall 
            call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made 
            in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and 
            without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by 
            at least one Senator and one Member of the House of 
            Representatives before the same shall be received. When all 
            objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall 
            have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon 
            withdraw, and such objections shall be submitted to the 
            Senate for its decision; and the Speaker of the House of 
            Representatives shall, in like manner, submit such 
            objections to the House of Representatives for its decision; 
            and no electoral vote or votes from any State which shall 
            have been regularly given by electors whose appointment has 
            been lawfully certified to according to section 6 of this 
            title from which but one return has been received shall be 
            rejected, but the two Houses concurrently may reject the 
            vote or votes when they agree that such vote or votes have 
            not been so regularly given by electors whose appointment 
            has been so certified. If more than one return or paper 
            purporting to be a return from a State shall have been 
            received by the President of the Senate, those votes, and 
            those only, shall be counted which shall have been regularly 
            given by the electors who are shown by the determination 
            mentioned in section 5 of this title to have been appointed, 
            if the determination in said section provided for shall have 
            been made, or by such successors or substitutes, in case of 
            a vacancy in the board of electors so ascertained, as have 
            been appointed to fill such vacancy in the mode provided by 
            the laws of the State; but in case there shall arise the 
            question which of two or more of such State authorities 
            determining what electors have been appointed, as mentioned 
            in section 5 of this title, is the lawful tribunal of such 
            State, the votes regularly given of those electors, and 
            those only, of such State shall be counted whose title as 
            electors the two Houses, acting separately, shall 
            concurrently decide is supported by the decision of such 
            State so authorized by its law; and in such case of more 
            than one return or paper purporting to be a return from a 
            State, if there shall have been no such determination of the 
            question in the State aforesaid, then those votes, and those 
            only, shall be counted which the two Houses shall 
            concurrently decide were cast by lawful electors appointed 
            in accordance with the laws of the State, unless the two 
            Houses, acting separately, shall concurrently decide such 
            votes not to be the lawful votes of the legally appointed 
            electors of such State. But if the two Houses shall disagree 
            in respect of the counting of such votes, then, and in that 
            case, the votes of the electors whose appointment shall have 
            been certified by the executive of the State, under the seal 
            thereof, shall be counted. When the two Houses have voted, 
            they shall immediately again meet, and the presiding officer 
            shall then announce the decision of the questions submitted. 
            No votes or papers from any other State shall be acted upon 
            until the objections previously made to the votes or papers 
            from any State shall have been finally disposed of.  (June

            President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and 
            duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the 
            House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as 
            Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President.
                (2) The same rule shall apply in the case of the death,

            until the expiration of the then current Presidential term, 
            except that--
                            (1) if his discharge of the powers and 
                        duties of the office is founded in whole or in 
                        part on the failure of both the President-elect 
                        and the Vice-President-elect to qualify, then he 
                        shall act only until a President or Vice 
                        President qualifies; and

                        President, then he shall act only until the 
                        removal of the disability of one of such 
                        individuals.
                (d)(1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from

            President pro tempore to act as President under subsection 
            (b) of this section, then the officer of the United States 
            who is highest on the following list, and who is not under 
            disability to discharge the powers and duties of the office 
            of President shall act as President: Secretary of State,

            the then current Presidential term, but not after a 
            qualified and prior-entitled individual is able to act, 
            except that the removal of the disability of an individual 
            higher on the list contained in paragraph (1) of this 
            subsection or the ability to qualify on the part of an 
            individual higher on such list shall not terminate his 
            service.
                (3) The taking of the oath of office by an individual 
            specified in the list in paragraph (1) of this subsection 
            shall be held to constitute his resignation from the office 
            by virtue of the holding of which he qualifies to act as 
            President.
                (e) Subsections (a), (b), and (d) of this section shall 
            apply only to such officers as are eligible to the office of 
            President under the Constitution. Subsection (d) of this

            President under this section, his compensation shall be at 
            the rate then provided by law in the case of the President.

            802(b)(2). The report of the Comptroller General shall 
            include an assessment of the agency's compliance with 
            procedural steps required by paragraph (1)(B).
                (B) Federal agencies shall cooperate with the 
            Comptroller General by providing information relevant to the 
            Comptroller General's report under subparagraph (A).
                (3) A major rule relating to a report submitted under 
            paragraph (1) shall take effect on the latest of--
                            (A) the later of the date occurring 60 days 
                        after the date on which--

                                (i) the Congress receives the report 
                            submitted under paragraph (1); or

                                (ii) the rule is published in the 
                            Federal Register, if so published;

                            (B) if the Congress passes a joint 
                        resolution of disapproval described in section 
                        802 relating to the rule, and the President 
                        signs a veto of such resolution, the earlier 
                        date--

                                (i) on which either House of Congress 
                            votes and fails to override the veto of the 
                            President; or

                                (ii) occurring 30 session days after the 
                            date on which the Congress received the veto 
                            and objections of the President; or

                            (C) the date of rule would have otherwise 
                        taken effect, if not for this section (unless a 
                        joint resolution of disapproval under section 
                        802 is enacted).
                (4) Except for a major rule, a rule shall take effect as 
            otherwise provided by law after submission to Congress under 
            paragraph (1).
                (5) Notwithstanding paragraph (3), the effective date of 
            a rule shall not be delayed by operation of this chapter 
            beyond the date on which either House of Congress votes to 
            reject a joint resolution of disapproval under section 802.
                (b)(1) A rule shall not take effect (or continue), if 
            the Congress enacts a joint resolution of disapproval, 
            described under section 802, of the rule.
                (2) A rule that does not take effect (or does not 
            continue) under paragraph (1) may not be reissued in 
            substantially the same form, and a new rule that is 
            substantially the same as such a rule may not be issued, 
            unless the reissued or new rule is specifically authorized 
            by a law enacted after the date of the joint resolution 
            disapproving the original rule.
                (c)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
            section (except subject to paragraph (3)), a rule that would 
            not take effect by reason of subsection (a)(3) may take 
            effect, if the President makes a determination under 
            paragraph (2) and submits written notice of such 
            determination to the Congress.
                (2) Paragraph (1) applies to a determination made by the 
            President by Executive order that the rule should take 
            effect because such rule is--
                            (A) necessary because of an imminent threat 
                        to health or safety or other emergency;
                            (B) necessary for the enforcement of 
                        criminal laws;
                            (C) necessary for national security; or
                            (D) issued pursuant to any statute 
                        implementing an international trade agreement.
                (3) An exercise by the President of the authority under 
            this subsection shall have no effect on the procedures under 
            section 802 or the effect of a joint resolution of 
            disapproval under this section.
                (d)(1) In addition to the opportunity for review 
            otherwise provided under this chapter, in the case of any 
            rule for which a report was submitted in accordance with 
            subsection (a)(1)(A) during the period beginning on the date 
            occurring--
                            (A) in the case of the Senate; 60 session 
                        days, or
                            (B) in the case of the House of 
                        Representatives; 60 legislative days,

            before the date the Congress adjourns a session of Congress 
            through the date on which the same or succeeding Congress 
            first convenes its next session, section 802 shall apply to 
            such rule in the succeeding session of Congress.

                (2)(A) In applying section 802 for purposes of such 
            additional review, a rule described under paragraph (1) 
            shall be treated as though--
                            (i) such rule were published in the Federal 
                        Register (as a rule that shall take effect) on--

                                (I) in the case of the Senate, the 15th 
                            session day, or

                                (II) in the case of the House of 
                            Representatives, the 15th legislative day, 
                            after the succeeding session of Congress 
                            first convenes; and

                            (ii) a report on such rule were submitted to 
                        Congress under subsection (a)(1) on such date.
                (B) Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to 
            affect the requirement under subsection (a)(1) that a report 
            shall be submitted to Congress before a rule can take 
            effect.
                (3) A rule described under paragraph (1) shall take 
            effect as otherwise provided by law (including other 
            subsections of this section).
                (e)(1) For purposes of this subsection, section 802 
            shall also apply to any major rule promulgated between March 
            1, 1996, and the date of the enactment of this chapter.
                (2) In applying section 802 for purposes of 
            Congressional review, a rule described under paragraph (1) 
            shall be treated as though--
                            (A) such rule were published in the Federal 
                        Register on the date of enactment of this 
                        chapter; and
                            (B) a report on such rule were submitted to 
                        Congress under subsection (a)(1) on such date.
                (3) The effectiveness of a rule described under 
            paragraph (1) shall be as otherwise provided by law, unless 
            the rule is made of no force or effect under section 802.
                (f) Any rule that takes effect and later is made of no 
            force or effect by enactment of a joint resolution under 
            section 802 shall be treated as though such rule had never 
            taken effect.
                (g) If the Congress does not enact a joint resolution of 
            disapproval under section 802 respecting a rule, no court or 
            agency may infer any intent of the Congress from any action 
            or inaction of the Congress with regard to such rule, 
            related statute, or joint resolution of disapproval. (Added 
            Pub.L. 104-121, Title II, Sec. 251, Mar. 29, 1996, 110 Stat. 
            868.)
      1141  Sec. 802. Congressional disapproval procedure.
                (a) For purposes of this section, the term ``joint 
            resolution'' means only a joint resolution introduced in the 
            period beginning on the date on which the report referred to 
            in section 801(a)(1)(A) is received by Congress and ending 
            60 days thereafter (excluding days either House of Congress 
            is adjourned for more than 3 days during a session of 
            Congress), the matter after the resolving clause of which is 
            as follows: ``That Congress disapproves the rule submitted 
            by the _____ relating to _____, and such rule shall have no 
            force or effect.'' (The blank spaces being appropriately 
            filled in).
                (b)(1) A joint resolution described in subsection (a) 
            shall be referred to the committees in each House of 
            Congress with jurisdiction.
                (2) For purposes of this section, the term ``submission 
            or publication date'' means the later of the date on which--
                            (A) the Congress receives the report 
                        submitted under section 801(a)(1); or
                            (B) the rule is published in the Federal 
                        Register, if so published.
                (c) In the Senate, if the committee to which is referred 
            a joint resolution described in subsection (a) has not 
            reported such joint resolution (or an identical joint 
            resolution) at the end of 20 calendar days after the 
            submission or publication date defined under subsection 
            (b)(2), such committee may be discharged from further 
            consideration of such joint resolution upon a petition 
            supported in writing by 30 Members of the Senate, and such 
            joint resolution shall be placed on the calendar.
                (d)(1) In the Senate, when the committee to which a 
            joint resolution is referred has reported, or when a 
            committee is discharged (under subsection (c)) from further 
            consideration of a joint resolution described in subsection 
            (a), it is at any time thereafter in order (even though a 
            previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) 
            for a motion to proceed to the consideration of the joint 
            resolution, and all points of order against the joint 
            resolution (and against consideration of the joint 
            resolution) are waived. The motion is not subject to 
            amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or to a motion to 
            proceed to the consideration of other business. A motion to 
            reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or 
            disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed 
            to the consideration of the joint resolution is agreed to, 
            the joint resolution shall remain the unfinished business of 
            the Senate until disposed of.
                (2) In the Senate, debate on the joint resolution, and 
            on all debatable motions and appeals in connection 
            therewith, shall be limited to not more than 10 hours, which 
            shall be divided equally between those favoring and those 
            opposing the joint resolution. A motion further to limit 
            debate is in order and not debatable. An amendment to, or a 
            motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to the 
            consideration of other business, or a motion to recommit the 
            joint resolution is not in order.
                (3) In the Senate, immediately following the conclusion 
            of the debate on a joint resolution described in subsection 
            (a), and a single quorum call at the conclusion of the 
            debate if requested in accordance with the rules of the 
            Senate, the vote on final passage of the joint resolution 
            shall occur.
                (4) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to 
            the application of the rules of the Senate to the procedure 
            relating to a joint resolution described in subsection (a) 
            shall be decided without debate.
                (e) In the Senate the procedure specified in subsection 
            (c) or (d) shall not apply to the consideration of a joint 
            resolution respecting a rule--
                            (1) after the expiration of the 60 session 
                        days beginning with the applicable submission or 
                        publication date, or
                            (2) if the report under section 801(a)(1)(A) 
                        was submitted during the period referred to in 
                        section 801(d)(1), after the expiration of the 
                        60 session days beginning on the 15th session 
                        day after the succeeding session of Congress 
                        first convenes.
                (f) If, before the passage by one House of a joint 
            resolution of that House described in subsection (a), that 
            House receives from the other House a joint resolution 
            described in subsection (a), then the following procedures 
            shall apply:
                            (1) The joint resolution of the other House 
                        shall not be referred to a committee.
                            (2) With respect to a joint resolution 
                        described in subsection (a) of the House 
                        receiving the joint resolution--

                                (A) the procedure in that House shall be 
                            the same as if no joint resolution had been 
                            received from the other House; but

                                (B) the vote on final passage shall be 
                            on the joint resolution of the other House.

                (g) This section is enacted by Congress--
                            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power 
                        of the Senate and House of Representatives, 
                        respectively, and as such it is deemed a part of 
                        the rules of each House, respectively, but 
                        applicable only with respect to the procedure to 
                        be followed in that House in the case of a joint 
                        resolution described in subsection (a), and it 
                        supersedes other rules only to the extent that 
                        it is inconsistent with such rules; and
                            (2) with full recognition of the 
                        constitutional right of either House to change 
                        the rules (so far as relating to the procedure 
                        of that House) at any time, in the same manner, 
                        and to the same extent as in the case of any 
                        other rule of that House. (Added Pub.L. 104-121, 
                        Title II, Sec. 251, Mar. 29, 1996, 110 Stat. 
                        871.)
      1142  Sec. 803. Special rule on statutory, regulatory, and 
                judicial deadlines.
                (a) In the case of any deadline for, relating to, or 
            involving any rule which does not take effect (or the 
            effectiveness of which is terminated) because of enactment 
            of a joint resolution under section 802, that deadline is 
            extended until the date 1 year after the date of enactment 
            of the joint resolution. Nothing in this subsection shall be 
            construed to affect a deadline merely by reason of the 
            postponement of a rule's effective date under section 
            801(a).
                (b) The term ``deadline'' means any date certain for 
            fulfilling any obligation or exercising any authority 
            established by or under any Federal statute or regulation, 
            or by or under any court order implementing any Federal 
            statute or regulation. (Added Pub.L. 104-121, Title II, 
            Sec. 251, Mar. 29, 1996, 110 Stat. 873.)
      1143  Sec. 804. Definitions.
                For purposes of this chapter--
                            (1) The term ``Federal agency'' means any 
                        agency as that term is defined in section 
                        551(1).
                            (2) The term ``major rule'' means any rule 
                        that the Administrator of the Office of 
                        Information and Regulatory Affairs of the Office 
                        of Management and Budget finds has resulted in 
                        or is likely to result in--

                                (A) an annual effect on the economy of 
                            $100,000,000 or more;

                                (B) a major increase in costs or prices 
                            for consumers, individual industries, 
                            Federal, State, or local government 
                            agencies, or geographic regions; or

            acceptance and holding of the office or employment does not 
            or will not violate section 7311 of this title. The 
            affidavit is prima facie evidence that the acceptance and 
            holding of office or employment by the affiant does not or 
            will not violate section 7311 of this title.

            or the destruction of property. This subsection does not

            section 7311 of this title. (Sept. 6, 1966, Pub.L. 89-554,

                such person shall respond thereto within thirty days (or

                legal process.
            (g) Neither the United States, an agency, nor any disbursing

                section 462(g) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
                662(g)).
            (h)(1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2), if an 
                agency is served under this section with more than one 
                legal process with respect to the same payments due or 
                payable to an employee, then such payments shall be 
                available, subject to section 303 of the Consumer Credit 
                Protection Act (15 U.S.C. 1673), to satisfy such 
                processes in priority based on the time of service, with 
                any such process being satisfied out of such amounts as 
                remain after satisfaction of all such processes which 
                have been previously served.

                        employee's legal obligation to provide child 
                        support or make alimony payments, shall have 
                        priority over any legal process to which an 
                        agency is subject under this section.
            (i) The provisions of this section shall not modify or 
                supersede the provisions of section 459 of the Social 
                Security Act (42 U.S.C. 659) concerning legal process 
                brought for the enforcement of an individual's legal 
                obligations to provide child support or make alimony 
                payments.

            which the pay is disbursed by the Chief Administrative

                        injury which is not due to the employee's own 
                        misconduct is entitled to reimbursement for 
                        expenses of transportation to the employee's 
                        designated post of duty, or home or regular 
                        place of business, as the case may be, and to 
                        payments pursuant to subsection (a) of this 
                        section until that location is reached; or
                            (B) because of a personal emergency 
                        situation (such as serious illness, injury, or 
                        death of a member of the employee's family, or 
                        an emergency situation such as fire, flood, or 
                        act of God), may be allowed, with the approval 
                        of an appropriate official of the agency 
                        concerned, reimbursement for expenses of 
                        transportation to the employee's designated post 
                        of duty, or home or regular place of business, 
                        as the case may be, and payments pursuant to 
                        subsection (a) of this section until that 
                        location is reached.
                (2)(A) Under regulations prescribed pursuant to section 
            5707 of this title, an employee who is described in 
            subsection (a) of this section and who, with the approval of 
            an appropriate official of the agency concerned, interrupts 
            the travel assignment prior to its completion for a reason 
            specified in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) of 
            this subsection, may be allowed (subject to the limitation 
            provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph)--
                            (i) reimbursement for expenses of 
                        transportation to the location where necessary 
                        medical services are provided or the emergency 
                        situation exists,
                            (ii) payments pursuant to subsection (a) of 
                        this section until that location is reached, and
                            (iii) such reimbursement and payments for 
                        return to such assignment.
                (B) The reimbursement which an employee may be allowed 
            pursuant to subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall be the 
            employee's actual costs of transportation to the location 
            where necessary medical services are provided or the 
            emergency exists, and return to assignment from such 
            location, less the costs of transportation which the 
            employee would have incurred had such travel begun and ended 
            at the employee's designated post of duty or home or regular 
            place of business, as the case may be. The payments which an 
            employee may be allowed pursuant to subparagraph (A) of this 
            paragraph shall be based on the additional time (if any) 
            which was required for the employee's transportation as a 
            consequence of the transportation's having begun and ended 
            at a location on the travel assignment (rather than at the 
            employee's designated post of duty, or home or regular place 
            of business, as the case may be).
                (3) Subject to the limitations contained in regulations 
            prescribed pursuant to section 5707 of this title, an 
            employee who is described in subsection (a) of this section 
            and who interrupts the travel assignment prior to its 
            completion because of an incapacitating illness or injury 
            which is not due to the employee's own misconduct is 
            entitled to payments pursuant to subsection (a) of this 
            section at the location where the interruption occurred.
                (c) This section does not apply to a justice or judge, 
            except to the extent provided by section 456 of title 28.

      1160  Sec. 5704. Mileage and related allowances.
                (a)(1) Under regulations prescribed under section 5707 
            of this title, an employee who is engaged on official 
            business for the Government is entitled to a rate per mile 
            established by the Administrator of General Services, 
            instead of the actual expenses of transportation, for the 
            use of a privately owned automobile when that mode of 
            transportation is authorized or approved as more 
            advantageous to the Government. In any year in which the 
            Internal Revenue Service establishes a single standard 
            mileage rate for optional use by taxpayers in computing the 
            deductible costs of operating their automobiles for business 
            purposes, the rate per mile established by the Administrator 
            shall not exceed the single standard mileage rate 
            established by the Internal Revenue Service.
                (2) Under regulations prescribed under section 5707 of 
            this title, an employee who is engaged on official business 
            for the Government is entitled to a rate per mile 
            established by the Administrator of General Services, 
            instead of the actual expenses of transportation, for the 
            use of privately owned airplane or a privately owned 
            motorcycle when that mode of transportation is authorized or 
            approved as more advantageous to the Government.
                (b) A determination that travel by a privately owned 
            vehicle is more advantageous to the Government is not 
            required under subsection (a) of this section when payment 
            on a mileage basis is limited to the cost of travel by 
            common carrier including per diem.
                (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) 
            and (b) of this section, in any case in which an employee 
            who is engaged on official business for the Government 
            chooses to use a privately owned vehicle in lieu of a 
            Government vehicle, payment on a mileage basis is limited to 
            the cost of travel by a Government vehicle.
                (d) In addition to the rate per mile authorized under 
            subsection (a) of this section, the employee may be 
            reimbursed for--
                            (1) parking fees;
                            (2) ferry fees;
                            (3) bridge, road, and tunnel costs; and
                            (4) airplane landing and tie-down fees.

                            established under this subchapter; or

                effects; death occurring away from official station or

                            (3) an agency in the legislative branch; and 
                        . . .
                (b) When an employee dies, the head of the agency 
            concerned, under the regulations prescribed by the President 
            and, except as otherwise provided by law, may pay from 
            appropriations available for the activity in which the

            title (except an individual whose pay is disbursed by the 
            Secretary of the Senate or the Chief Administrative Officer 
            of the House of Representatives) summoned, or assigned by

            the employee, and later obtain reimbursement from the agency 
            properly chargeable with the travel expenses.

            Within 30 days after terminating the official use of a gift

            the gift to the Administrator of General Services in 
            accordance with subsection (e)(1) or provide for its 
            disposal in accordance with subsection (e)(2).

                (3) When an employee deposits a gift of more than 
            minimal value for disposal or for official use pursuant to 
            paragraph (2), or within 30 days after accepting travel or

            operations or awarded for other outstanding or unusually 
            meritorious performance, subject to the approval of the

            the decoration is deemed to have been accepted on behalf of 
            the United States, shall become the property of the United 
            States, and shall be deposited by the employee, within sixty 
            days of acceptance, with the employing agency for official 
            use, for forwarding to the Administrator of General Services 
            for disposal in accordance with subsection (e)(1), or for 
            disposal in accordance with subsection (e)(2).
                (e)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), gifts and 
            decorations that have been deposited with an employing 
            agency for disposal shall be (A) returned to the donor, or 
            (B) forwarded to the Administrator of General Services for 
            transfer, donation, or other disposal in accordance with the 
            provisions of subtitle I of Title 40 and Title III of the 
            Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949. 
            However, no gift or decoration that has been deposited for 
            disposal may be sold without the approval of the Secretary 
            of State, upon a determination that the sale will not 
            adversely affect the foreign relations of the United States. 
            Gifts and decorations may be sold by negotiated sale.
                (2) Gifts and decorations received by a Senator or an 
            employee of the Senate that are deposited with the Secretary 
            of the Senate for disposal, or are deposited for an official 
            use which has terminated, shall be disposed of by the 
            Commission on Arts and Antiquities of the United States 
            Senate. Any such gift or decoration may be returned by the 
            Commission to the donor or may be transferred or donated by 
            the Commission, subject to such terms and conditions as it 
            may prescribe, (A) to an agency or instrumentality of (i) 
            the United States, (ii) a State, territory, or possession of 
            the United States, or a political subdivision of the 
            foregoing, or (iii) the District of Columbia, or (B) to an 
            organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal 
            Revenue Code of 1986 which is exempt from taxation under 
            section 501(a) of such Code. Any such gift or decoration not 
            disposed of as provided in the preceding sentence shall be 
            forwarded to the Administrator of General Services for 
            disposal in accordance with paragraph (1). If the 
            Administrator does not dispose of such gift or decoration 
            within one year, he shall, at the request of the Commission, 
            return it to the Commission and the Commission may dispose 
            of such gift or decoration in such manner as it considers 
            proper, except that such gift or decoration may be sold only 
            with the approval of the Secretary of State upon a 
            determination that the sale will not adversely affect the 
            foreign relations of the United States.
                (f)(1) Not later than January 31 of each year, each 
            employing agency or its delegate shall compile a listing of 
            all statements filed during the preceding year by the 
            employees of that agency pursuant to subsection (c)(3) and 
            shall transmit such listing to the Secretary of State who 
            shall publish a comprehensive listing of all such statements 
            in the Federal Register.
                (2) Such listings shall include for each tangible gift 
            reported--

                            (C) the identity, if known, of the foreign

                        individual who presented the gift;
                            (D) the date of acceptance of the gift;
                            (E) the estimated value in the United States 
                        of the gift at the time of acceptance; and
                            (F) disposition or current location of the 
                        gift.
                (3) Such listings shall include for each gift of travel

                            (B) a brief description of the gift and the

                        government and the name and position of the 
                        individual who presented the gift.
                (4)(A) In transmitting such listings for the Central 
            Intelligence Agency, the Director of the Central 
            Intelligence Agency may delete the information described in 
            subparagraphs (A) and (C) of paragraphs (2) and (3) if the 
            Director certifies in writing to the Secretary of State that 
            the publication of such information could adversely affect 
            United States intelligence sources.
                (B) In transmitting such listings for the Office of the 
            Director of National Intelligence, the Director of National 
            Intelligence may delete the information described in 
            subparagraphs (A) and (C) of paragraphs (2) and (3) if the 
            Director certifies in writing to the Secretary of State that 
            the publication of such information could adversely affect 
            United States intelligence sources.
                (g)(1) Each employing agency shall prescribe such 
            regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purpose of 
            this section. For all employing agencies in the executive 
            branch, such regulations shall be prescribed pursuant to 
            guidance provided by the Secretary of State. These 
            regulations shall be implemented by each employing agency 
            for its employees.
                (2) Each employing agency shall--
                            (A) report to the Attorney General cases in 
                        which there is reason to believe that an 
                        employee has violated this section;
                            (B) establish a procedure for obtaining an 
                        appraisal; when necessary, of the value of 
                        gifts; and
                            (C) take any other actions necessary to 
                        carry out the purpose of this section.
                (h) The Attorney General may bring a civil action in any 
            district court of the United States against any employee who 
            knowingly solicits or accepts a gift from a foreign 
            government not consented to by this section or who fails to 
            deposit or report such gift as required by this section. The 
            court in which such action is brought may assess a penalty 
            against such employee in any amount not to exceed the retail 
            value of the gift improperly solicited or received plus 
            $5,000.
                (i) The President shall direct all Chiefs of a United 
            States Diplomatic Mission to inform their host governments 
            that it is a general policy of the United States Government 
            to prohibit United States Government employees from 
            receiving gifts or decorations of more than minimal value.
                (j) Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
            derogate any regulation prescribed by any employing agency 
            which provides for more stringent limitations on the receipt 
            of gifts and decorations by its employees.
                (k) The provisions of this section do not apply to 
            grants and other forms of assistance to which section 108A 
            of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 
            applies. (Sept. 11, 1967, Pub.L. 90-83, Sec. 1(45)(C), 81

                Sec. 3. For the purpose of this Act--
                            (1) The term ``Administrator'' means the

                        group, or any subcommittee or other subgroup 
                        thereof (hereafter in this paragraph referred to 
                        as ``committee''), which is--

                            reorganization plan, or

                            more agencies,

                    recommendations for the President or one or more 
                    agencies or officers of the Federal Government, 
                    except that such term excludes (i) any committee 
                    that is composed wholly of full-time, or permanent 
                    part-time, officers or employees of the Federal

                                    applicability
                Sec. 4. (a) The provisions of this Act or of any rule, 
            order, or regulation promulgated under this Act shall apply 
            to each advisory committee except to the extent that any Act 
            of Congress establishing any such advisory committee 
            specifically provides otherwise.
                (b) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to 
            any advisory committee established or utilized by--
                            (1) the Central Intelligence Agency; or
                            (2) the Federal Reserve System.
                (c) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to 
            any local civic group whose primary function is that of

            program, or any State or local committee, council, board, 
            commission, or similar group established to advise or make 
            recommendations to State or local officials or agencies.

                    responsibilities of congressional committees
                Sec. 5. (a) In the exercise of its legislative review 
            functions, each standing committee of the Senate and the 
            House of Representatives shall make a continuing review of 
            the activities of each advisory committee under its 
            jurisdiction to determine whether such advisory committee 
            should be abolished or merged with any other advisory 
            committee, whether the responsibilities of such advisory 
            committee should be revised, and whether such advisory 
            committee performs a necessary function not already being 
            performed. Each such standing committee shall take 
            appropriate action to obtain the enactment of legislation 
            necessary to carry out the purpose of this subsection.
                (b) In considering legislation establishing, or 
            authorizing the establishment of any advisory committee, 
            each standing committee of the Senate and of the House of 
            Representatives shall determine, and report such 
            determination to the Senate or to the House of 
            Representatives, as the case may be, whether the functions 
            of the proposed advisory committee are being or could be 
            performed by one or more agencies or by an advisory 
            committee already in existence, or by enlarging the mandate 
            of an existing advisory committee. Any such legislation 
            shall--
                            (1) contain a clearly defined purpose for 
                        the advisory committee;
                            (2) require the membership of the advisory 
                        committee to be fairly balanced in terms of the 
                        points of view represented and the functions to 
                        be performed by the advisory committee;
                            (3) contain appropriate provisions to assure 
                        that the advice and recommendations of the 
                        advisory committee will not be inappropriately 
                        influenced by the appointing authority or by any 
                        special interest, but will instead be the result 
                        of the advisory committee's independent 
                        judgement;
                            (4) contain provisions dealing with 
                        authorization of appropriations, the date for 
                        submission of reports (if any), the duration of 
                        the advisory committee, and the publication of 
                        reports and other materials, to the extent that 
                        the standing committee determines the provisions 
                        of section 10 of this Act to be inadequate; and
                            (5) contain provisions which will assure 
                        that the advisory committee will have adequate 
                        staff (either supplied by an agency or employed 
                        by it), will be provided adequate quarters, and

                        $500,000;

            individual shall include in his report a full and complete 
            description of the method used in determining such value. In 
            lieu of any value referred to in the preceding sentence, an 
            individual may list the assessed value of the item for tax 
            purposes, adjusted to reflect the market value of the item 
            used for the assessment if the assessed value is computed at 
            less than 100 percent of such market value, but a full and 
            complete description of the method used in determining such 
            assessed value shall be included in the report.
                (e)(1) Except as provided in the last sentence of this 
            paragraph, each report required by section 101 shall also 
            contain information listed in paragraphs (1) through (5) of 
            subsection (a) of this section respecting the spouse or 
            dependent child of the reporting individual as follows:
                            (A) The source of items of earned income 
                        earned by a spouse from any person which exceeds

                        honoraria received by a spouse, except that, 
                        with respect to earned income (other than 
                        honoraria), if the spouse is self-employed in 
                        business or a profession, only the nature of 
                        such business or profession need be reported.
                            (B) All information required to be reported 
                        in subsection (a)(1)(B) with respect to income 
                        derived by a spouse or dependent child from any 
                        asset held by the spouse or dependent child and 
                        reported pursuant to subsection (a)(3).
                            (C) In the case of any gifts received by a 
                        spouse or dependent child which are not received 
                        totally independent of the relationship of the 
                        spouse or dependent child to the reporting 
                        individual, the identity of the source and a 
                        brief description of gifts of transportation,

                        received by a spouse or dependent child which 
                        are not received totally independent of the

                        the reporting individual, the identity of the

                        these paragraphs other than items (i) which the 
                        reporting individual certifies represent the 
                        spouse's or dependent child's sole financial 
                        interest or responsibility and which the

                        of the reporting individual, and (iii) from 
                        which the reporting individual neither derives, 
                        nor expects to derive, any financial or economic 
                        benefit.

            living separate and apart from the reporting individual with 
            the intention of terminating the marriage or providing for 
            permanent separation; or with respect to any income or

                                (i) which was not created directly by 
                            such individual, his spouse, or any

                                (vi) except for communications which 
                            solely consist of requests for distributions 
                            of cash or other unspecified assets of the 
                            trust, there shall be no direct or indirect 
                            communication between the trustee and an 
                            interested party with respect to the trust 
                            unless such communication is in writing and 
                            unless it relates only (I) to the general 
                            financial interest and needs of the 
                            interested party (including, but not limited 
                            to, an interest in maximizing income or 
                            long-term capital gain), (II) to the 
                            notification of the trustee of a law or 
                            regulation subsequently applicable to the 
                            reporting individual which prohibits the 
                            interested party from holding an asset, 
                            which notification directs that the asset 
                            not be held by the trust, or (III) to 
                            directions to the trustee to sell all of an 
                            asset initially placed in the trust by an 
                            interested party which in the determination 
                            of the reporting individual creates a 
                            conflict of interest or the appearance 
                            thereof due to the subsequent assumption of 
                            duties by the reporting individual (but 
                            nothing herein shall require any such 
                            direction); and

                                (vii) the interested parties shall make 
                            no effort to obtain information with respect 
                            to the holdings of the trust, including 
                            obtaining a copy of any trust tax return 
                            filed or any information relating thereto 
                            except as otherwise provided in this 
                            subsection.

                            (D) The proposed trust instrument and the 
                        proposed trustee is approved by the reporting 
                        individual's supervising ethics office.
                            (E) For purposes of this subsection, 
                        ``interested party'' means a reporting 
                        individual, his spouse, and any minor or 
                        dependent child; ``broker'' has the meaning set 
                        forth in section 3(a)(4) of the Securities and 
                        Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(4)); and 
                        ``investment adviser'' includes any investment 
                        adviser who, as determined under regulations 
                        prescribed by the supervising ethics office, is 
                        generally involved in his role as such an 
                        adviser in the management or control of trusts.
                            (F) Any trust qualified by a supervising 
                        ethics office before the effective date of title 
                        II of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 shall 
                        continue to be governed by the law and 
                        regulations in effect immediately before such 
                        effective date.
                (4)(A) An asset placed in a trust by an interested party 
            shall be considered a financial interest of the reporting 
            individual, for the purposes of any applicable conflict of 
            interest statutes, regulations, or rules of the Federal 
            Government (including section 208 of title 18, United States 
            Code), until such time as the reporting individual is 
            notified by the trustee that such asset has been disposed 
            of, or has a value of less than $1,000.
                (B)(i) The provisions of subparagraph (A) shall not 
            apply with respect to a trust created for the benefit of a 
            reporting individual, or the spouse, dependent child, or 
            minor child of such a person, if the supervising ethics 
            office for such reporting individual finds that--
                            (I) the assets placed in the trust consist 
                        of a well-diversified portfolio of readily 
                        marketable securities;
                            (II) none of the assets consist of 
                        securities of entities having substantial 
                        activities in the area of the reporting 
                        individual's primary area of responsibility;
                            (III) the trust instrument prohibits the 
                        trustee, notwithstanding the provisions of 
                        paragraph (3)(C) (iii) and (iv) of this 
                        subsection, from making public or informing any 
                        interested party of the sale of any securities;

                        United States, if the President finds or has

                        as are necessary to protect their identity from

            rules or regulations as the supervising ethics office may 
            prescribe.

                (4) If steps for assuring compliance with applicable 
            laws and regulations are not taken by the date set under 
            paragraph (3) by an individual in a position in the 
            executive branch (other than in the Foreign Service or the

            congressional ethics committee, or the Judicial Conference, 
            for appropriate action; except that in the case of the

                (7) Each supervising ethics office may render advisory 
            opinions interpreting this title within its respective 
            jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
            the individual to whom a public advisory opinion is rendered 
            in accordance with this paragraph, and any other individual 
            covered by this title who is involved in a fact situation 
            which is indistinguishable in all material aspects, and who 
            acts in good faith in accordance with the provisions and 
            findings of such advisory opinion shall not, as a result of 
            such act, be subject to any penalty or sanction provided by

            special Government employees as defined in section 202 of 
            title 18, United States Code) to file confidential financial 
            disclosure reports, in such form as the supervising ethics 
            office may prescribe. The information required to be 
            reported under this subsection by the officers and employees 
            of any department or agency shall be set forth in rules or 
            regulations prescribed by the supervising ethics office, and 
            may be less extensive than otherwise required by this title, 
            or more extensive when determined by the supervising ethics 
            office to be necessary and appropriate in light of sections 
            202 through 209 of title 18, United States Code, regulations 
            promulgated thereunder, or the authorized activities of such 
            officers or employees. Any individual required to file a 
            report pursuant to section 101 shall not be required to file 
            a confidential report pursuant to this subsection, except 
            with respect to information which is more extensive than 
            information otherwise required by this title. Subsections 
            (a), (b), and (d) of section 105 shall not apply with 
            respect to any such report.
                (2) Any information required to be provided by an 
            individual under this subsection shall be confidential and 
            shall not be disclosed to the public.
                (3) Nothing in this subsection exempts any individual 
            otherwise covered by the requirement to file a public 
            financial disclosure report under this title from such 
            requirement.
                (b) The provisions of this title requiring the reporting 
            of information shall supersede any general requirement under 
            any other provision of law or regulation with respect to the 
            reporting of information required for purposes of preventing 
            conflicts of interest or apparent conflicts of interest. 
            Such provisions of this title shall not supersede the 
            requirements of section 7342 of title 5, United States Code.
                (c) Nothing in this Act requiring reporting of 
            information shall be deemed to authorize the receipt of 
            income, gifts, or reimbursements; the holding of assets, 
            liabilities, or positions; or the participation in 
            transactions that are prohibited by law, Executive order, 
            rule, or regulation. (Pub.L. 95-521, Title I, Sec. 107, Oct.

            financial disclosure reports filed under this title for the 
            purposes of carrying out his statutory responsibilities.
                (b) No later than December 31, 1992, and regularly 
            thereafter, the Comptroller General shall conduct a study to 
            determine whether the provisions of this title are being 
            carried out effectively. (Pub.L. 95-521, Title I, Sec. 108,

                        that----

                                (A) violates bids or offers;

                                (B) demonstrates intentional or reckless 
                            disregard for the orderly execution of 
                            transactions during the closing period; or

                            commonly known to the trade as, ``spoofing''

                            cancel the bid or offer before execution).

                            (6) Rulemaking authority

                        rules and regulations as, in the judgment of the 
                        Commission, are reasonably necessary to prohibit 
                        the trading practices described in paragraph (5) 
                        and any other trading practice that is 
                        disruptive of fair and equitable trading.
                            (7) Use of swaps to defraud
                            It shall be unlawful for any person to enter 
                        into a swap knowing, or acting in reckless 
                        disregard of the fact, that its counterparty 
                        will use the swap as part of a device, scheme, 
                        or artifice to defraud any third party.
            (b) Regulated option trading
                No person shall offer to enter into, enter into or 
            confirm the execution of, any transaction involving any 
            commodity regulated under this chapter which is of the 
            character of, or is commonly known to the trade as, an 
            ``option'', ``privilege'', ``indemnity'', ``bid'', 
            ``offer'', ``put'', ``call'', ``advance guaranty'', or 
            ``decline guaranty'', contrary to any rule, regulation, or 
            order of the Commission prohibiting any such transaction or 
            allowing any such transaction under such terms and 
            conditions as the Commission shall prescribe. Any such 
            order, rule, or regulation may be made only after notice and 
            opportunity for hearing, and the Commission may set 
            different terms and conditions for different markets.
            (c) Regulations for elimination of pilot status of commodity

                trading
                Not later than 90 days after November 10, 1986, the

                        involving the trading of options on contract 
                        markets, including any numerical restrictions on 
                        the number of commodities or option contracts 
                        for which a contract market may be designated; 
                        and
                            (2) otherwise to continue to permit the 
                        trading of such commodity options under such 
                        terms and conditions that the Commission from 
                        time to time may prescribe.

                        that person may continue to grant or issue 
                        options pending a final determination by the

                            registration with the Commission.

                                The Commission may permit persons not 
                            domiciled in the United States to grant 
                            options under this subsection, other than 
                            options on a commodity specifically set 
                            forth in section 2(a) of this title prior to 
                            October 23, 1974, under such additional 
                            rules, regulations, and orders as the 
                            Commission may adopt to provide protection 
                            to purchasers that are substantially the 
                            equivalent of those applicable to grantors 
                            domiciled in the United States. The 
                            Commission may terminate the right of any 
                            person to grant, offer, or sell options 
                            under this subsection only after a hearing, 
                            including a finding that the continuation of 
                            such right is contrary to the public 
                            interest: Provided, That pending the 
                            completion of such termination proceedings, 
                            the Commission may suspend the right to 
                            grant, offer, or sell options of any person 
                            whose activities in the Commission's 
                            judgment present a substantial risk to the 
                            public interest.

            (e) Rules and regulations
                The Commission may adopt rules and regulations, after 
            public notice and opportunity for a hearing on the record, 
            prohibiting the granting, issuance, or sale of options 
            permitted under subsection (d) of this section if the 
            Commission determines that such options are contrary to the 
            public interest.
            (f) Nonapplicability to foreign currency options
                Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to govern or in 
            any way be applicable to any transaction in an option on 
            foreign currency traded on a national securities exchange.
            (g) Oral orders
                The Commission shall adopt rules requiring that a 
            contemporaneous written record be made, as practicable, of 
            all orders for execution on the floor or subject to the 
            rules of each contract market or derivatives transaction 
            execution facility placed by a member of the contract market 
            or derivatives transaction execution facility who is present 
            on the floor at the time such order is placed. (Sept. 21,

                        end strength for the Selected Reserve of that

            fiscal year may not be used for the pay of a military 
            technician (dual status) during that fiscal year unless the 
            technician fills a position that is within the number of 
            such positions authorized by law for that fiscal year for 
            the reserve component of that technician. This subsection 
            applies without regard to section 129 of this title. In each 
            budget submitted by the President to Congress under section 
            1105 of title 31, the end strength requested for military 
            technicians (dual status) for each reserve component of the

                (e) End-of-Quarter Strength Levels.--(1) The Secretary 
            of Defense shall prescribe and include in the budget 
            justification documents submitted to Congress in support of 
            the President's budget for the Department of Defense for any 
            fiscal year the Secretary's proposed end-of-quarter 
            strengths for each of the first three quarters of the fiscal 
            year for which the budget is submitted, in addition to the 
            Secretary's proposed fiscal-year end-strengths for that 
            fiscal year. Such end-of-quarter strengths shall be 
            submitted for each category of personnel for which end 
            strengths are required to be authorized by law under 
            subsection (a) or (d). The Secretary shall ensure that 
            resources are provided in the budget at a level sufficient 
            to support the end-of-quarter and fiscal-year end-strengths 
            as submitted.
                (2)(A) After annual end-strength levels required by 
            subsections (a) and (d) are authorized by law for a fiscal 
            year, the Secretary of Defense shall promptly prescribe end-
            of-quarter strength levels for the first three quarters of 
            that fiscal year applicable to each such end-strength level. 
            Such end-of-quarter strength levels shall be established for 
            any fiscal year as levels to be achieved in meeting each of 
            those annual end-strength levels authorized by law in 
            accordance with subsection (a) (as such levels may be 
            adjusted pursuant to subsection (f)) and subsection (d).
                (B) At least annually, the Secretary of Defense shall 
            establish for each of the armed forces (other than the Coast 
            Guard) the maximum permissible variance of actual strength 
            for an armed force at the end of any given quarter from the 
            end-of-quarter strength established pursuant to subparagraph 
            (A). Such variance shall be such that it promotes the 
            maintaining of the strength necessary to achieve the end-
            strength levels authorized in accordance with subsection (a) 
            (as adjusted pursuant to subsection (f)) and subsection (d).
                (3) Whenever the Secretary establishes an end-of-quarter 
            strength level under subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2), or 
            modifies a strength level under the authority provided in 
            subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2), the Secretary shall 
            notify the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
            Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
            of that strength level or of that modification, as the case 
            may be.
                (f) Authority for Secretary of Defense Variances for 
            Active Duty and Selected Reserve Strengths.--Upon 
            determination by the Secretary of Defense that such action 
            is in the national interest, the Secretary may--
                            (1) increase the end strength authorized 
                        pursuant to subsection (a)(1)(A) for a fiscal 
                        year for any of the armed forces by a number 
                        equal to not more than 3 percent of that end 
                        strength;
                            (2) increase the end strength authorized 
                        pursuant to subsection (a)(1)(B) for a fiscal

                        equal to not more than 2 percent of that end 
                        strength;
                            (3) vary the end strength authorized 
                        pursuant to subsection (a)(2) for a fiscal year 
                        for the Selected Reserve of any of the reserve 
                        components by a number equal to not more than 2 
                        percent of that end strength; and
                            (4) increase the maximum strength authorized 
                        pursuant to subsection (b)(1) for a fiscal year 
                        for certain reserves on active duty for any of 
                        the reserve components by a number equal to not 
                        more than 10 percent of that strength.
                (g) Authority for Service Secretary Variances for 
            Active-Duty End Strengths.--Upon determination by the 
            Secretary of a military department that such action would 
            enhance manning and readiness in essential units or in 
            critical specialties or ratings, the Secretary may increase 
            the end strength authorized pursuant to subsection (a)(1)(A) 
            for a fiscal year for the armed force under the jurisdiction 
            of that Secretary or, in the case of the Secretary of the 
            Navy, for any of the armed forces under the jurisdiction of 
            that Secretary. Any such increase for a fiscal year--
                (1) shall be by a number equal to not more than 2 
            percent of such authorized end strength; and
                (2) shall be counted as part of the increase for that 
            armed force for that fiscal year authorized under subsection 
            (f)(1).
                (h) Adjustment When Coast Guard is Operating as a 
            Service in the Navy.--The authorized strength of the Navy 
            under subsection (a)(1) is increased by the authorized 
            strength of the Coast Guard during any period when the Coast 
            Guard is operating as a service in the Navy.

            Active-Duty End Strengths.--In counting personnel for the

                                (iii) the actual cost of the program for 
                            each fiscal year during which the program 
                            has been conducted before the fiscal year 
                            during which that budget is submitted; and

                                (iv) the estimated total cost of the 
                            program and the estimated cost of the

                            (II) the fiscal year for which the budget is 
                            submitted, and (III) each of the four 
                            succeeding fiscal years during which the 
                            program is expected to be conducted.

                (3) In the case of a report under paragraph (1) 
            submitted in a year during which the President's budget for 
            the next fiscal year, because of multiyear budgeting for the 
            Department of Defense, does not include a full budget 
            request for the Department of Defense, the report required 
            by paragraph (1) shall set forth--
                            (A) the total amount already appropriated 
                        for the next fiscal year for special access 
                        programs of the Department of Defense and any 
                        additional amount requested in that budget for 
                        such programs for such fiscal year; and
                            (B) for each program of the Department of 
                        Defense that is a special access program, the 
                        information specified in paragraph (2)(B).
                (b)(1) Not later than February 1 of each year, the 
            Secretary of Defense shall submit to the defense committees 
            a report that, with respect to each new special access 
            program, provides--
                            (A) notice of the designation of the program 
                        as a special access program; and
                            (B) justification for such designation.
                (2) A report under paragraph (1) with respect to a 
            program shall include--
                            (A) the current estimate of the total 
                        program cost for the program; and
                            (B) an identification of existing programs 
                        or technologies that are similar to the 
                        technology, or that have a mission similar to 
                        the mission, of the program that is the subject 
                        of the notice.
                (3) In this subsection, the term ``new special access 
            program'' means a special access program that has not 
            previously been covered in a notice and justification under 
            this subsection.
                (c)(1) Whenever a change in the classification of a 
            special access program of the Department of Defense is 
            planned to be made or whenever classified information 
            concerning a special access program of the Department of 
            Defense is to be declassified and made public, the Secretary 
            of Defense shall submit to the defense committees a report 
            containing a description of the proposed change, the reasons 
            for the proposed change, and notice of any public 
            announcement planned to be made with respect to the proposed 
            change.
                (2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), any report 
            referred to in paragraph (1) shall be submitted not less 
            than 14 days before the date on which the proposed change or 
            public announcement is to occur.
                (3) If the Secretary determines that because of 
            exceptional circumstances the requirement of paragraph (2) 
            cannot be met with respect to a proposed change or public 
            announcement concerning a special access program of the 
            Department of Defense, the Secretary may submit the report 
            required by paragraph (1) regarding the proposed change or 
            public announcement at any time before the proposed change 
            or public announcement is made and shall include in the 
            report an explanation of the exceptional circumstances.
                (d) Whenever there is a modification or termination of 
            the policy and criteria used for designating a program of 
            the Department of Defense as a special access program, the 
            Secretary of Defense shall promptly notify the defense 
            committees of such modification or termination. Any such 
            notification shall contain the reasons for the modification 
            or termination and, in the case of a modification, the 
            provisions of the policy as modified.
                (e)(1) The Secretary of Defense may waive any 
            requirement under subsection (a), (b), or (c) that certain 
            information be included in a report under that subsection if 
            the Secretary determines that inclusion of that information 
            in the report would adversely affect the national security. 
            Any such waiver shall be made on a case-by-case basis.
                (2) If the Secretary exercises the authority provided 
            under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall provide the 
            information described in that subsection with respect to the 
            special access program concerned, and the justification for 
            the waiver, jointly to the chairman and ranking minority 
            member of each of the defense committees.
                (f) A special access program may not be initiated 
            until--
                            (1) the defense committees are notified of 
                        the program; and
                            (2) a period of 30 days elapses after such 
                        notification is received.
                (g) In this section, the term ``defense committees'' 
            means--
                            (1) the Committee on Armed Services and the 
                        Committee on Appropriations, and the Defense 
                        Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, 
                        of the Senate; and

                        alternates nominated by person named in clauses 
                        (3) and (4) of subsection (a).
                (c) The President may also appoint as midshipmen at the 
            Academy children of persons who have been awarded the medal 
            of honor for acts performed while in the armed forces.
                (d) The Superintendent of the Naval Academy may nominate 
            for appointment each year 50 persons from the country at 
            large. Persons nominated under this paragraph may not 
            displace any appointment authorized under clauses (2) 
            through (8) of subsection (a) and may not cause the total 
            strength of midshipmen at the Navy Academy to exceed the 
            authorized number.
                (e) The Secretary of the Navy may limit the number of 
            midshipmen appointed under section (b)(5). When he does so, 
            if the total number of midshipmen, upon admission of a new 
            class at the Academy, will be more than 3,737, no 
            appointment may be made under subsection (b)(2) or (3) of 
            this section or section 6956 of this title.
                (f) The Superintendent of the Naval Academy shall 
            furnish to any Member of Congress, upon the written request 
            of such Member, the name of the Congressman or other 
            nominating authority responsible for the nomination of any 
            named or identified person for appointment to the Academy.
                (g) For purposes of the limitation in subsection (a) 
            establishing the aggregate authorized strength of the 
            Brigade of Midshipmen, the Secretary of the Navy may for any 
            year permit a variance in that limitation by not more than 
            one percent. In applying that limitation, and any such 
            variance, the last day of an academic year shall be 
            considered to be graduation day.
                (h)(1) Beginning with the 2003-2004 academic year, the 
            Secretary of the Navy may prescribe annual increases in the 
            midshipmen strength limit in effect under subsection (a). 
            For any academic year, any such increase shall be by no more 
            than 100 midshipmen or such lesser number as applies under 
            paragraph (3) for that year. Such annual increases may be 
            prescribed until the midshipmen strength limit is 4,400. 
            However, no increase may be prescribed for any academic year 
            after the 2007-2008 academic year.
                (2) Any increases in the midshipmen strength limit under 
            paragraph (1) with respect to an academic year shall be 
            prescribed not later than the date on which the budget of 
            the President is submitted to Congress under section 1105 of 
            title 31 for the fiscal year beginning in the same year as 
            the year in which that academic year begins. Whenever the 
            Secretary prescribes such an increase, the Secretary shall 
            submit to Congress a notice in writing of the increase. The 
            notice shall state the amount of the increase in the 
            midshipmen strength limit and the new midshipmen strength 
            limit, as so increased, and the amount of the increase in 
            Senior Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps enrollment 
            under each of sections 2104 and 2107 of this title.
                (3) The amount of an increase under paragraph (1) in the 
            midshipmen strength limit for an academic year may not 
            exceed the increase (if any) for the preceding academic year 
            in the total number of midshipmen enrolled in the Navy 
            Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program under 
            chapter 103 of this title who have entered into an agreement 
            under section 2104 or 2107 or this title.
                (4) In this subsection, the term ``Midshipmen strength 
            limit'' means the authorized maximum strength of the Brigade 
            of Midshipmen. (Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, Sec. 1, 70A Stat.

      1212  Sec. 6956. Midshipmen: nomination and selection to fill 
                vacancies.
                (a) If the annual quota of midshipmen from--
                            (1) enlisted members of the Regular Navy and 
                        the Regular Marine Corps;
                            (2) enlisted members of the Navy Reserve and 
                        the Marine Corps Reserve; or
                            (3) at large by the President;

            is not filled, the Secretary may fill the vacancies by 
            nominating for appointment other candidates from any of 
            these sources who were found best qualified on examination 
            for admission and not otherwise nominated.

                (b) If it is determined that, upon the admission of a 
            new class to the Academy, the number of midshipmen at the 
            Academy will be below the authorized number, the Secretary 
            may fill the vacancies by nominating additional midshipmen 
            from qualified candidates designated as alternates and from 
            other qualified candidates who competed for nomination and 
            are recommended and found qualified by the Academic Board. 
            At least three-fourths of those nominated under this 
            subsection shall be from qualified alternates under clauses 
            (2) through (8) of section 6954(a) of this title, and the 
            remainder shall be from qualified candidates who competed 
            for appointment under any other provision of law. An 
            appointment of a nominee under this subsection is an 
            additional appointment and is not in place of an appointment 
            otherwise authorized by law.
                (c) The failure of a member of a graduating class to 
            complete the course with his class does not delay the 
            appointment of his successor. (Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A

            the cadet strength limit in effect under subsection (a). For 
            any academic year, any such increase shall be by no more 
            than 100 cadets or such lesser number as applies under 
            paragraph (3) for that year. Such annual increases may be 
            prescribed until the cadet strength limit is 4,400. However, 
            no increase may be prescribed for any academic year after 
            the 2007-2008 academic year.
                (2) Any increase in the cadet strength limit under 
            paragraph (1) with respect to an academic year shall be 
            prescribed not later than the date on which the budget of 
            the President is submitted to Congress under sections 1105 
            of title 31 for the fiscal year beginning in the same year 
            as the year in which that academic year begins. Whenever the 
            Secretary prescribes such an increase, the Secretary shall 
            submit to Congress a notice in writing of the increase. The 
            notice shall state the amount of the increase in the cadet 
            strength limit and the new cadet strength limit, as so 
            increased, and the amount of the increase in Senior Air 
            Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps enrollment under each 
            of sections 2104 and 2107 of this title.
                (3) The amount of an increase under paragraph (1) in the 
            cadet strength limit for an academic year may not exceed the 
            increase (if any) for the preceding academic year in the 
            total number of cadets enrolled in the Air Force Senior 
            Reserve Officers' Training Corps program under chapter 103 
            of this title who have entered into an agreement under 
            section 2104 or 2107 of this title.
                (4) In this subsection the term ``cadet strength limit'' 
            means the authorized maximum strength of Air Force Cadets of 
            the Academy.

                (d) The Board should meet at least four times a year,

            report shall be submitted concurrently to the Secretary of 
            Defense, through the Secretary of the Air Force, and to the 
            Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee

            (a) Rules of House of Representatives and Senate
                This section and sections 2192 and 2193 of this title 
            are enacted by the Congress--
                            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power 
                        of the House of Representatives and the Senate, 
                        respectively, and as such they are deemed a part 
                        of the rules of each House, respectively, but 
                        applicable only with respect to the procedure to 
                        be followed in that House in the case of 
                        implementing bills described in subsection 
                        (b)(1) of this section, implementing revenue

                        section, approval resolutions described in 
                        subsection (b)(3) of this section, and

                        2193(a) of this title; and they supersede other 
                        rules only to the extent that they are 
                        inconsistent therewith; and
                            (2) with full recognition of the 
                        constitutional right of either House to change 
                        the rules (so far as relating to the procedure 
                        of that House) at any time, in the same manner 
                        and to the same extent as in the case of any 
                        other rule of that House.
            (b) Definitions

                            agreement or agreements or such extension,

                                (B) a provision approving the statement

                            such trade agreement or agreements or such 
                            extension, provisions, necessary or

                        resolution'' means an implementing bill, or 
                        approval resolution, which contains one or more 
                        revenue measures by reason of which it must

                            (3) The term ``approval resolution'' means 
                        only a joint resolution of the two Houses of the 
                        Congress, the matter after the resolving clause 
                        of which is as follows: ``That the Congress 
                        approves the extension of nondiscriminatory 
                        treatment with respect to the products of ------
                        -- transmitted by the President to the Congress 
                        on ------.'', the first blank space being filled 
                        with the name of the country involved and the 
                        second blank space being filled with the 
                        appropriate date.
            (c) Introduction and referral
                (1) On the day on which a trade agreement is submitted 
            to the House of Representatives and the Senate under section 
            2112, section 3572 of this title, or section 3805(a)(1) of 
            this title, the implementing bill submitted by the President 
            with respect to such trade agreement or extension shall be 
            introduced (by request) in the House by the majority leader 
            of the House, for himself and the minority leader of the 
            House, or by Members of the House designated by the majority 
            leader and minority leader of the House; and shall be 
            introduced (by request) in the Senate by the majority leader 
            of the Senate, for himself and the minority leader of the 
            Senate, or by Members of the Senate designated by the 
            majority leader and minority leader of the Senate. If either 
            House is not in session on the day on which such a trade 
            agreement or extension is submitted, the implementing bill 
            shall be introduced in that House, as provided in the 
            preceding sentence, on the first day thereafter on which 
            that House is in session. Such bills shall be referred by 
            the Presiding Officers of the respective Houses to the 
            appropriate committee, or, in the case of a bill containing 
            provisions within the jurisdiction of two or more 
            committees, jointly to such committees for consideration of 
            those provisions within their respective jurisdictions.
                (2) On the day on which a bilateral commercial 
            agreement, entered into under subchapter IV of this chapter 
            after January 3, 1975, is transmitted to the House of 
            Representatives and the Senate, an approval resolution with 
            respect to such agreement shall be introduced (by request) 
            in the House by the majority leader of the House, for 
            himself and the minority leader of the House, or by Members 
            of the House designated by the majority leader and minority 
            leader of the House; and shall be introduced (by request) in 
            the Senate by the majority leader of the Senate, for himself 
            and the minority leader of the Senate, or by Members of the 
            Senate designated by the majority leader and minority leader 
            of the Senate. If either House is not in session on the day 
            on which such an agreement is transmitted, the approval 
            resolution with respect to such agreement shall be 
            introduced in that House, as provided in the preceding 
            sentence, on the first day thereafter on which that House is 
            in session. The approval resolution introduced in the House 
            shall be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and the 
            approval resolution introduced in the Senate shall be 
            referred to the Committee on Finance.
            (d) Amendments prohibited
                No amendment to an implementing bill or approval 
            resolution shall be in order in either the House of 
            Representatives or the Senate; and no motion to suspend the 
            application of this subsection shall be in order in either 
            House, nor shall it be in order in either House for the 
            Presiding Officer to entertain a request to suspend the 
            application of this subsection by unanimous consent.
            (e) Period for committee and floor consideration
                (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), if the 
            committee or committees of either House to which an 
            implementing bill or approval resolution has been referred 
            have not reported it at the close of the 45th day after its 
            introduction, such committee or committees shall be 
            automatically discharged from further consideration of the 
            bill or resolution and it shall be placed on the appropriate 
            calendar. A vote on final passage of the bill or resolution 
            shall be taken in each House on or before the close of the 
            15th day after the bill or resolution is reported by the 
            committee or committees of that House to which it was 
            referred, or after such committee or committees have been 
            discharged from further consideration of the bill or 
            resolution. If prior to the passage by one House of an 
            implementing bill or approval resolution of that House, that 
            House receives the same implementing bill or approval 
            resolution from the other House, then--
                            (A) the procedure in that House shall be the 
                        same as if no implementing bill or approval 
                        resolution had been received from the other 
                        House; but
                            (B) the vote on final passage shall be on 
                        the implementing bill or approval resolution of 
                        the other House.
                (2) The provisions of paragraph (1) shall not apply in 
            the Senate to an implementing revenue bill or resolution. An 
            implementing revenue bill or resolution received from the 
            House shall be referred to the appropriate committee or 
            committees of the Senate. If such committee or committees 
            have not reported such bill at the close of the 15th day 
            after its receipt by the Senate (or, if later, before the 
            close of the 45th day after the corresponding implementing 
            revenue bill or resolution was introduced in the Senate), 
            such committee or committees shall be automatically 
            discharged from further consideration of such bill or 
            resolution and it shall be placed on the calendar. A vote on 
            final passage of such bill or resolution shall be taken in 
            the Senate on or before the close of the 15th day after such 
            bill or resolution is reported by the committee or 
            committees of the Senate to which it was referred, or after 
            such committee or committees have been discharged from 
            further consideration of such bill or resolution.
                (3) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2), in computing 
            a number of days in either House, there shall be excluded 
            any day on which that House is not in session.
            (f) Floor consideration in the House
                (1) A motion in the House of Representatives to proceed 
            to the consideration of an implementing bill or approval 
            resolution shall be highly privileged and not debatable. An 
            amendment to the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it 
            be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the 
            motion is agreed to or disagreed to.
                (2) Debate in the House of Representatives on an 
            implementing bill or approval resolution shall be limited to 
            not more than 20 hours, which shall be divided equally

            debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall

            amendment to, or motion to recommit, a resolution is in 
            order in the Senate.
            (f) Procedures in the Senate

                        applies was introduced in the Senate before 
                        receipt of a resolution that has passed the

                        the House of Representatives shall, when 
                        received in the Senate be placed on the 
                        calendar. If this clause applies, the procedures

                        introduced in the Senate that contains the

                        House of Representatives, except that the vote 
                        on passage in the Senate shall be on the 
                        resolution that passed the House of

                        receiving from the House of Representatives a 
                        joint resolution that contains the identical 
                        matter, the joint resolution shall be held at 
                        the desk pending receipt of the joint resolution

                        resolution passed by the House), be substituted 
                        for the text of the joint resolution passed by 
                        the House of Representatives, and such 
                        resolution, as amended, shall be returned with a

            subsection (a) of this section received from the other 
            House), if that House has adopted a resolution with respect

            on any joint resolution described in subsection (a) of this 
            section, including consideration of all amendments in 
            disagreement (and all amendments thereto), and consideration 
            of all debatable motions and appeals in connection 
            therewith, shall be limited to 10 hours, to be equally 
            divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and 
            the minority leader or their designees. Debate on any 
            debatable motion or appeal related to the conference report 
            shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, 
            and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the 
            conference report.
                (2) In any case in which there are amendments in 
            disagreement, time on each amendment shall be limited to 30 
            minutes, to be equally divided between, and controlled by,

                            enactment of this Act.

                (3) Aggregate reduction; exemption from staging
                            (A) Aggregate reduction.--Except as provided 
                        in subparagraph (B), the aggregate reduction in 
                        the rate of duty on any article which is in 
                        effect on any day pursuant to a trade agreement 
                        entered into under paragraph (1) shall not 
                        exceed the aggregate reduction which would have 
                        been in effect on such day if--

                                (i) a reduction of 3 percent ad valorem 
                            or a reduction of one-tenth of the total 
                            reduction, whichever is greater, had taken 
                            effect on the effective date of the first 
                            reduction proclaimed under paragraph (1) to 
                            carry out such agreement with respect to 
                            such article; and

                            applicable under clause (i) had taken effect 
                            at 1-year intervals after the effective date 
                            of such first reduction.

                            (B) Exemption from staging.--No staging is 
                        required under subparagraph (A) with respect to 
                        a duty reduction that is proclaimed under 
                        paragraph (1) for an article of a kind that is 
                        not produced in the United States. The United 
                        States International Trade Commission shall 
                        advise the President of the identity of articles 
                        that may be exempted from staging under this 
                        subparagraph.
                (4) Rounding
                            If the President determines that such action 
                        will simplify the computation of reductions 
                        under paragraph (3), the President may round an 
                        annual reduction by an amount equal to the 
                        lesser of--

                                (A) the difference between the reduction 
                            without regard to this paragraph and the 
                            next lower whole number; or

                                (B) one-half of 1 percent ad valorem.

                (5) Other limitations
                            A rate of duty reduction that may not be 
                        proclaimed by reason of paragraph (2) may take 
                        effect only if a provision authorizing such 
                        reduction is included within an implementing 
                        bill provided for under section 3805 and that 
                        bill is enacted into law.
                (6) Other tariff modifications
                            Notwithstanding paragraphs (1)(B), (2)(A), 
                        (2)(C), and (3) through (5), and subject to the 
                        consultation and layover requirements of section 
                        115 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, the 
                        President may proclaim the modification of any 
                        duty or staged rate reduction of any duty set 
                        forth in Schedule XX, as defined in section 2(5) 
                        of that Act, if the United States agrees to such 
                        modification or staged rate reduction in a 
                        negotiation for the reciprocal elimination or 
                        harmonization of duties under the auspices of 
                        the World Trade Organization.
                (7) Authority under Uruguay Round Agreements Act not 
            affected
                            Nothing in this subsection shall limit the

                        agreement, or changes to an existing agreement;
                            (2) before and after submission of the 
                        notice, consult regarding the negotiations with

                        Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
                        Representatives, such other committees of the 
                        House and Senate as the President deems 
                        appropriate, and the Congressional Oversight

                        the subject matter of which is directly related 
                        to the subject matter under section 
                        3802(b)(10)(A)(i) with any country, the 
                        President shall assess whether United States 
                        tariffs on agricultural products that were bound 
                        under the Uruguay Round Agreements are lower 
                        than the tariffs bound by that country. In 
                        addition, the President shall consider whether 
                        the tariff levels bound and applied throughout 
                        the world with respect to imports from the 
                        United States are higher than United States 
                        tariffs and whether the negotiation provides an 
                        opportunity to address any such disparity. The 
                        President shall consult with the Committee on 
                        Ways and Means and the Committee on Agriculture 
                        of the House of Representatives and the

                        Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the 
                        Senate concerning the results of the assessment, 
                        whether it is appropriate for the United States 
                        to agree to further tariff reductions based on 
                        the conclusions reached in the assessment, and 
                        how all applicable negotiating objectives will 
                        be met.
                (2) Special consultations on import sensitive products
                            (A) Before initiating negotiations with

                        negotiations with regard to agriculture under 
                        the auspices of the World Trade Organization, as 
                        soon as practicable after the enactment of this

                            subject to tariff-rate quotas on the date of

                            products subject to tariff reductions by the 
                            United States as a result of the Uruguay 
                            Round Agreements, for which the rate of duty 
                            was reduced on January 1, 1995, to a rate 
                            which was not less than 97.5 percent of the 
                            rate of duty that applied to such article on 
                            December 31, 1994;

                                (ii) consult with the Committee on Ways 
                            and Means and the Committee on Agriculture

                            Senate concerning--

                                        (I) whether any further tariff

                                    identified under clause (i) should 
                                    be appropriate, taking into account 
                                    the impact of any such tariff 
                                    reduction on the United States 
                                    industry producing the product

                                    or phytosanitary restrictions, 
                                    including those not based on 
                                    scientific principles in 
                                    contravention of the Uruguay Round

                                        (III) whether the countries 
                                    participating in the negotiations 
                                    maintain export subsidies or other

                                    that distort world trade in such 
                                    products and the impact of such 
                                    programs, policies, and practices on 
                                    United States producers of the 
                                    products;

                            Trade Commission prepare an assessment of

                            tariff reduction on the United States 
                            industry producing the product concerned and 
                            on the United States economy as a whole; and

            products that were bound under the Uruguay Round Agreements 
            are lower than the tariffs bound by that country and whether 
            the negotiation provides an opportunity to address any such

                                            standards set forth in

                (3) Reciprocal benefits
                            In order to ensure that a foreign country 
                        that is not a party to a trade agreement entered

                        is also subject to the obligations under the 
                        agreement, the implementing bill submitted with 
                        respect to the agreement shall provide that the 
                        benefits and obligations under the agreement 
                        apply only to the parties to the agreement, if 
                        such application is consistent with the terms of 
                        the agreement. The implementing bill may also 
                        provide that the benefits and obligations under 
                        the agreement do not apply uniformly to all 
                        parties to the agreement, if such application is 
                        consistent with the terms of the agreement.
                (4) Disclosure of commitments
                            Any agreement or other understanding with a 
                        foreign government or governments (whether oral

                            of Congress,

                    shall not be considered to be part of the agreement 
                    approved by the Congress and shall have no force and

                        notice or consultations with respect to such 
                        trade agreement or agreements, the other House 
                        separately agrees to a procedural disapproval 
                        resolution with respect to such trade agreement

            discretion of the chairman of the committee, omit such 
            information as would identify the foreign countries in which 
            members and employees of that committee traveled.
                (3)(A) Each Member or employee who receives an 
            authorization under paragraph (1) from the Speaker of the

            submitted for all Members of the group by its chairman, or 
            if there is no designated chairman, by the ranking Member or 
            if the group does not include a Member, by the senior 
            employee in the group. Each report submitted pursuant to 
            this subparagraph shall be open to public inspection.
                (B) On a quarterly basis, the Clerk of the House of 
            Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate shall each 
            prepare a consolidation of the reports received by them

            taxable year on the political organization taxable income of 
            every political organization. Such tax shall be computed by 
            multiplying the political organization taxable income by the 
            highest rate of tax specified in section 11(b).
                (2) Alternative tax in case of capital gains.--If for 
            any taxable year any political organization has a net 
            capital gain, then, in lieu of the tax imposed by paragraph 
            (1), there is hereby imposed a tax (if such a tax is less 
            than the tax imposed by paragraph (1)) which shall consist 
            of the sum of--
                            (A) a partial tax, computed as provided by 
                        paragraph (1), on the political organization 
                        taxable income determined by reducing such 
                        income by the amount of such gain, and
                            (B) an amount determined as provided in 
                        section 1201(a) on such gain.

            excess (if any) of--
                            (A) the gross income for the taxable year 
                        (excluding any exempt function income), over
                            (B) the deductions allowed by this chapter 
                        which are directly connected with the production 
                        of the gross income (excluding exempt function 
                        income), computed with the modifications 
                        provided in paragraph (2).
                (2) Modifications.--For purposes of this subsection--
                            (A) there shall be allowed a specific 
                        deduction of $100,
                            (B) no net operating loss deduction shall be 
                        allowed under section 172, and
                            (C) no deduction shall be allowed under part 
                        VIII of subchapter B (relating to special

            subsection, the term ``exempt function income'' means any 
            amount received as--

                        received in the ordinary course of any trade or 
                        business, or
                            (D) proceeds from the conducting of any

            such amount shall be treated as an amount not diverted for

                            (B) a failure to include any of the 
                        information required to be shown by such 
                        disclosures or to show the correct information,

            there shall be paid by the organization an amount equal to 
            the rate of tax specified in subsection (b)(1) multiplied by 
            the amount to which the failure relates. For purpose of 
            subtitle F, the amount imposed by this paragraph shall be 
            assessed and collected in the same manner as penalties 
            imposed by section 6652(c).

            State or local political organization (as defined in section 
            527(e)(5)), the preceding sentence shall be applied by 
            substituting ``$100,000'' for ``$25,000''.
                (2) Annual returns.--Political organizations described 
            in paragraph (1) shall file an annual return--
                            (A) containing the information required, and

                        taxation under section 501(a), with such 
                        modifications as the Secretary considers 
                        appropriate to require only information which is 
                        necessary for the purposes of carrying out

                        Election Campaign Act of 1971) of a candidate 
                        for Federal office,
                            (D) which is a national committee (as 
                        defined in section 301(14) of the Federal

                        Representatives or United States Senate campaign

                        Federal Election campaign Act of 1971 as a 
                        political committee (as defined in section 
                        301(4) of such Act), or
                            (G) to which section 527 applies for the 
                        taxable year solely by reason of subsection 
                        (f)(1) of such section.
                (4) Discretionary exception.--The Secretary may relieve 
            any organization required under paragraph (2) to file an 
            information return from filing such a return if the 
            Secretary determines that such filing is not necessary to 
            the efficient administration of the Internal Revenue laws.

            Taxation for a period not exceeding 2 years unless, within 
            such period, the Joint Committee on Taxation determines that

                            (A) the Thrift Savings Fund shall be treated 
                        as a trust described in section 401(a) which is 
                        exempt from taxation under section 501(a);
                            (B) any contribution to, or distribution 
                        from, the Thrift Savings Fund shall be treated 
                        in the same manner as contributions to or 
                        distributions from such a trust; and
                            (C) subject to section 401(k)(4)(B) and any 
                        dollar limitation on the application of section

                        Fund shall not be treated as distributed or made 
                        available to an employee or Member nor as a 
                        contribution made to the Fund by an employee or 
                        Member merely because the employee or Member 
                        has, under the provisions of subchapter III of 
                        chapter 84 of title 5, United States Code, and 
                        section 8351 of such title 5, an election 
                        whether the contribution will be made to the

                        or Member in cash.
                (2) Nondiscrimination requirements.--Notwithstanding any

            arrangements described in section 401(k) or to matching 
            contributions (as described in section 401(m)), so long as

            (1) shall not be construed to provide that any amount of the

            ``wages'' for the purposes of section 209 of the Social

                (5) Coordination with other provisions of law.--No 
            provision of law not contained in this title shall apply for 
            purposes of determining the treatment under this title of

            501(b) of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, might be 
            made to any officer or employee of the Federal Government

                            (1) such payment shall not be treated as 
                        received by such officer or employee for all 
                        purposes of this title and for all purposes of 
                        any tax law of a State or political subdivision

                        State or political subdivision thereof) to such 
                        officer or employee by reason of having such 
                        payment made to such organization.

            For purposes of this subsection, a Senator, a Representative 
            in, or a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress 
            shall be treated as an officer or employee of the Federal 
            Government. (Nov. 30, 1989, Pub.L. 101-194, Sec. 602, 103

            (a) Reports

                        committee of a major party or minor party with 
                        respect to a presidential nominating convention;
                            (5) the amounts certified by it under 
                        section 9008(g) for payment to each such 
                        committee; and
                            (6) the amount of payments, if any, required 
                        from such committees under section 9008(h), and 
                        the reasons for each such payment.

            Each report submitted pursuant to this section shall be 
            printed as a Senate document.

            (b) Regulations, etc.
                The Commission is authorized to prescribe such rules and 
            regulations in accordance with the provisions of subsection 
            (c), to conduct such examinations and audits (in addition to 
            the examinations and audits required by section 9007(a)), to 
            conduct such investigations, and to require the keeping and 
            submission of such books, records, and information, as it 
            deems necessary to carry out the functions and duties 
            imposed on it by this chapter.
            (c) Review of regulations
                (1) The Commission, before prescribing any rule or 
            regulation under subsection (b), shall transmit a statement 
            with respect to such rule or regulation to the Senate and to 
            the House of Representatives, in accordance with the 
            provisions of this subsection. Such statement shall set 
            forth the proposed rule or regulation and shall contain a 
            detailed explanation and justification of such rule or 
            regulation.
                (2) If either such House does not, through appropriate 
            action, disapprove the proposed rule or regulation set forth 
            in such statement no later than 30 legislative days after 
            receipt of such statement, then the Commission may prescribe 
            such rule or regulation. Whenever a committee of the House 
            of Representatives reports any resolution relating to any 
            such rule or regulation, it is at any time thereafter in 
            order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has 
            been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration 
            of the resolution. The motion is highly privileged and is 
            not debatable. An amendment to the motion is not in order, 
            and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by 
            which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. The 
            Commission may not prescribe any rule or regulation which is 
            disapproved by either such House under this paragraph.
                (3) For purposes of this subsection, the term 
            ``legislative days'' does not include any calendar day on 
            which both Houses of the Congress are not in session.
                (4) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``rule or 
            regulation'' means a provision or series of interrelated 
            provisions stating a single separable rule of law. (Dec. 10,

      1397  Sec. 9039. Reports to Congress; regulations.
            (a) Reports
                The Commission shall, as soon as practicable after each 
            matching payment period, submit a full report to the Senate 
            and House of Representatives setting forth--
                            (1) the qualified campaign expenses (shown 
                        in such detail as the Commission determines 
                        necessary) incurred by the candidates of each 
                        political party and their authorized committees,
                            (2) the amounts certified by it under 
                        section 9036 for payment to each eligible 
                        candidate, and
                            (3) the amount of payments, if any, required 
                        from candidates under section 9038, and the 
                        reasons for each payment required.

            Each report submitted pursuant to this section shall be 
            printed as a Senate document.

            (b) Regulations, etc.
                The Commission is authorized to prescribe rules and 
            regulations in accordance with the provisions of subsection 
            (c), to conduct examinations and audits (in addition to the 
            examinations and audits required by section 9038(a)), to 
            conduct investigations, and to require the keeping and 
            submission of any books, records, and information, which it 
            determines to be necessary to carry out its responsibilities 
            under this chapter.
            (c) Review of regulations
                (1) The Commission, before prescribing any rule or 
            regulation under subsection (b), shall transmit a statement 
            with respect to such rule or regulation to the Senate and to 
            the House of Representatives, in accordance with the 
            provisions of this subsection. Such statement shall set 
            forth the proposed rule or regulation and shall contain a 
            detailed explanation and justification of such rule or 
            regulation.
                (2) If either such House does not, through appropriate 
            action, disapprove the proposed rule or regulation set forth 
            in such statement no later than 30 legislative days after 
            receipt of such statement, then the Commission may prescribe 
            such rule or regulation. Whenever a committee of the House 
            of Representatives reports any resolution relating to any 
            such rule or regulation, it is at any time thereafter in 
            order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has 
            been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration 
            of the resolution. The motion is highly privileged and is 
            not debatable. An amendment to the motion is not in order, 
            and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by 
            which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. The 
            Commission may not prescribe any rule or regulation which is 
            disapproved by either such House under this paragraph.
                (3) For purposes of this subsection, the term 
            ``legislative days'' does not include any calendar day on 
            which both Houses of the Congress are not in session.
                (4) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``rule or 
            regulation'' means a provision or series of interrelated 
            provisions stating a single separable rule of law. (Oct. 15, 
            1974, Pub.L. 93-443, Sec. 408(c), 88 Stat. 1301; May 11, 
            1976, Pub.L. 94-283, Sec. 304(b), 90 Stat. 499.)

            during the preceding fiscal year and on its expected 
            condition and operations during the next 5 fiscal years. 
            Such report shall be printed as a House document of the 
            session of the Congress to which the report is made. (Dec.

                        submit to the Congress a report of any instance 
                        in which the Attorney General or any officer of

                            or informal policy to refrain--

                                        (i) from enforcing, applying, or 
                                    administering any provision of any 
                                    Federal statute, rule, regulation, 
                                    program, policy, or other law whose 
                                    enforcement, application, or 
                                    administration is within the

                                    grounds that such provision is 
                                    unconstitutional; or

                                        (ii) within any judicial 
                                    jurisdiction of or within the United 
                                    States, from adhering to, enforcing, 
                                    applying, or complying with, any 
                                    standing rule of decision (binding

                                    by a final decision of any court of, 
                                    or superior to those of, that

                                    any judicial, administrative, or 
                                    other proceeding, the

                                    administrative, or other proceeding,

                                    that exceeds, or is likely to 
                                    exceed, $2,000,000, excluding

                                    (including any agency or 
                                    instrumentality thereof) pursuant to 
                                    an agreement, consent decree, or

                expressed as to the constitutionality of the provision

                     Chapter 85.--DISTRICT COURTS, JURISDICTION

      1426  Sec. 1365. Senate actions.
                (a) The United States District Court for the District of 
            Columbia shall have original jurisdiction, without regard to 
            the amount in controversy, over any civil action brought by 
            the Senate or any authorized committee or subcommittee of 
            the Senate to enforce, to secure a declaratory judgment 
            concerning the validity of, or to prevent a threatened 
            refusal or failure to comply with, any subpoena or order 
            issued by the Senate or committee or subcommittee of the 
            Senate to any entity acting or purporting to act under color 
            or authority of State law or to any natural person to secure 
            the production of documents or other materials of any kind 
            or the answering of any deposition or interrogatory or to 
            secure testimony or any combination thereof. This section 
            shall not apply to an action to enforce, to secure a 
            declaratory judgment concerning the validity of, or to 
            prevent a threatened refusal to comply with, any subpoena or 
            order issued to an officer or employee of the executive 
            branch of the Federal Government acting within his or her 
            official capacity, except that this section shall apply if 
            the refusal to comply is based on the assertion of a 
            personal privilege or objection and is not based on a 
            governmental privilege or objection the assertion of which 
            has been authorized by the executive branch of the Federal 
            Government.
                (b) Upon application by the Senate or any authorized 
            committee or subcommittee of the Senate, the district court 
            shall issue an order to an entity or person refusing, or 
            failing to comply with, or threatening to refuse or not to 
            comply with, a subpoena or order of the Senate or committee 
            or subcommittee of the Senate requiring such entity or 
            person to comply forthwith. Any refusal or failure to obey a 
            lawful order of the district court issued pursuant to this 
            section may be held by such court to be a contempt thereof. 
            A contempt proceeding shall be commenced by an order to show 
            cause before the court why the entity or person refusing or 
            failing to obey the court order should not be held in 
            contempt of court. Such contempt proceeding shall be tried 
            by the court and shall be summary in manner. The purpose of 
            sanctions imposed as a result of such contempt proceeding 
            shall be to compel obedience to the order of the court. 
            Process in any such action or contempt proceeding may be 
            served in any judicial district wherein the entity or party 
            refusing, or failing to comply, or threatening to refuse or 
            not to comply, resides, transacts business, or may be found, 
            and subpoenas for witnesses who are required to attend such 
            proceeding may run into any other district. Nothing in this 
            section shall confer upon such court jurisdiction to affect 
            by injunction or otherwise the issuance or effect of any 
            subpoena or order of the Senate or any committee or 
            subcommittee of the Senate or to review, modify, suspend, 
            terminate, or set aside any such subpoena or order. An 
            action, contempt proceeding, or sanction brought or imposed 
            pursuant to this section shall not abate upon adjournment 
            sine die by the Senate at the end of a Congress if the 
            Senate or the committee or subcommittee of the Senate which 
            issued the subpoena or order certifies to the court that it 
            maintains its interest in securing the documents, answers, 
            or testimony during such adjournment.

                (d) The Senate or any committee or subcommittee of the 
            Senate commencing and prosecuting a civil action or contempt 
            proceeding under this section may be represented in such 
            action by such attorneys as the Senate may designate.
                (e) A civil action commenced or prosecuted under this 
            section, may not be authorized pursuant to the Standing

            Committees'' (S. Jour. 572, May 28, 1928).

      1430  Sec. 2509. Congressional reference cases.
                (a) Whenever a bill, except a bill for a pension, is 
            referred by either House of Congress to the chief judge of 
            the United States Court of Federal Claims pursuant to 
            section 1492 of this title, the chief judge shall designate 
            a judge as hearing officer for the case and a panel of three 
            judges of the court to serve as a reviewing body. One member 
            of the review panel shall be designated as presiding officer 
            of the panel.
                (b) Proceedings in a congressional reference case shall 
            be under rules and regulations prescribed for the purpose by 
            the chief judge who is hereby authorized and directed to 
            require the application of the pertinent rules of practice 
            of the Court of Federal Claims insofar as feasible. Each 
            hearing officer and each review panel shall have authority 
            to do and perform any acts which may be necessary or proper 
            for the efficient performance of their duties, including the 
            power of subpoena and the power to administer oaths and 
            affirmations. None of the rules, rulings, findings, or 
            conclusions authorized by this section shall be subject to 
            judicial review.
                (c) The hearing officer to whom a congressional 
            reference case is assigned by the chief judge shall proceed 
            in accordance with the applicable rules to determine the 
            facts, including facts relating to delay or laches, facts 
            bearing upon the question whether the bar of any statute of 
            limitation should be removed, or facts claimed to excuse the 
            claimant for not having resorted to any established legal 
            remedy. He shall append to his findings of fact conclusions 
            sufficient to inform Congress whether the demand is a legal 
            or equitable claim or a gratuity, and the amount, if any, 
            legally or equitably due from the United States to the 
            claimant.
                (d) The findings and conclusions of the hearing officer 
            shall be submitted by him, together with the record in the 
            case, to the review panel for review by it pursuant to such 
            rules as may be provided for the purpose, which shall 
            include provision for submitting the report of the hearing 
            officer to the parties for consideration, exception, and 
            argument before the panel. The panel, by majority vote, 
            shall adopt or modify the findings or the conclusions of the 
            hearing officer.
                (e) The panel shall submit its report to the chief judge 
            for transmission to the appropriate House of Congress.
                (f) Any act or failure to act or other conduct by a 
            party, a witness, or an attorney which would call for the 
            imposition of sanctions under the rules of practice of the 
            Court of Federal Claims shall be noted by the panel or the 
            hearing officer at the time of occurrence thereof and upon 
            failure of the delinquent or offending party, witness, or 
            attorney to make prompt compliance with the order of the 
            panel or the hearing officer a full statement of the 
            circumstances shall be incorporated in the report of the 
            panel.
                (g) The Court of Federal Claims is hereby authorized and 
            directed, under such regulations as it may prescribe, to 
            provide the facilities and services of the office of the 
            clerk of the court for the filing, processing, hearing, and 
            dispatch of congressional reference cases and to include 
            within its annual appropriations the costs thereof and other 
            costs of administration, including (but without limitation 
            to the items herein listed) the salaries and traveling 
            expenses of the judges serving as hearing officers and panel

                        period. (Pub.L. 97-258, Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat.

      1460  Sec. 1104. Budget and appropriations authority of the 
                President.
                (a) The President shall prepare budgets of the United 
            States Government under section 1105 of this title and 
            proposed deficiency and supplemental appropriations under 
            section 1107 of this title. To the extent practicable, the 
            President shall use uniform terms in stating the purposes 
            and conditions of appropriations.
                (b) Except as provided in this chapter, the President 
            shall prescribe the contents and order of statements in the 
            budget on expenditures and estimated expenditures and 
            statements on proposed appropriations and information 
            submitted with the budget and proposed appropriations. The 
            President shall include with the budget and proposed 
            appropriations information on personnel and other objects of 
            expenditure in the way that information was included in the 
            budget for fiscal year 1950. However, the requirement that 
            information be included in the budget in that way may be 
            waived or changed by joint action of the Committees on 
            Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. This subsection 
            does not limit the authority of a committee of Congress to 
            request information in a form it prescribes.
                (c) When the President makes a basic change in the form 
            of the budget, the President shall submit with the budget 
            information showing where items in the budget for the prior 
            fiscal year are contained in the present budget. However, 
            the President may change the functional categories in the 
            budget only in consultation with the Committees on 
            Appropriations and on the Budget of both Houses of Congress. 
            Committees of the House of Representatives and Senate shall 
            receive prompt notification of all such changes.
                (d) The President shall develop programs and prescribe 
            regulations to improve the compilation, analysis, 
            publication, and dissemination of statistical information by 
            executive agencies. The President shall carry out this 
            subsection through the Administrator for the Office of 
            Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of 
            Management and Budget.
                (e) Under regulations prescribed by the President, each 
            agency shall provide information required by the President 
            in carrying out this chapter. The President has access to, 
            and may inspect, records of an agency to obtain information.

            16 of each year and included in the budget by the President 
            without change.
                (c) The President shall recommend in the budget 
            appropriate action to meet an estimated deficiency when the 
            estimated receipts for the fiscal year for which the budget 
            is submitted (under laws in effect when the budget is 
            submitted) and the estimated amounts in the Treasury at the 
            end of the current fiscal year available for expenditure in 
            the fiscal year for which the budget is submitted, are less 
            than the estimated expenditures for that year. The President 
            shall make recommendations required by the public interest 
            when the estimated receipts and estimated amounts in the 
            Treasury are more than the estimated expenditures.

            information about a budget, the President shall include a 
            statement on all changes about the current fiscal year that

            investment program and for each major program that may be 
            classified as a military capital investment program, and 
            shall contain summaries of the total amount of such 
            appropriations or new obligational authority and outlays for

                        principal policy issues that affect estimated

      1462  Sec. 1106. Supplemental budget estimates and changes.
                (a) Before July 16 of each year, the President shall

            the fiscal year for which the budget is submitted under 
            section 1105(a) of this title. The summary shall include--
                            (1) for that fiscal year--

                                (A) substantial changes in or 
                            reappraisals of estimates of expenditures 
                            and receipts;

                                (B) substantial obligations imposed on 
                            the budget after its submission;

                                (C) current information on matters 
                            referred to in section 1105(a) (8) and (9) 
                            (B) and (C) of this title; and

                                (D) additional information the President 
                            decides is advisable to provide Congress 
                            with complete and current information about 
                            the budget and current estimates of the 
                            functions, obligations, requirements, and 
                            financial condition of the United States 
                            Government.

                            (2) for the 4 fiscal years following the 
                        fiscal year for which the budget is submitted, 
                        information on estimated expenditures for 
                        programs authorized to continue in future years, 
                        or that are considered mandatory, under law; and
                            (3) for future fiscal years, information on 
                        estimated expenditures of balances carried over 
                        from the fiscal year for which the budget is 
                        submitted.
                (b) Before July 16 of each year, the President shall 
            submit to Congress a statement of changes in budget 
            authority requested, estimated budget outlays, and estimated 
            receipts for the fiscal year for which the budget is 
            submitted (including prior changes proposed for the 
            executive branch of the Government) that the President 
            decides are necessary and appropriate based on current 
            information. The statement shall include the effect of those 
            changes on the information submitted under section 
            1105(a)(1)-(14) and (b) of this title and shall include 
            supporting information as practicable. The statement 
            submitted before July 16 may be included in the information 
            submitted under subsection (a)(1) of this section.
                (c) Expired. (Pub.L. 97-258, Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 
            911; Pub.L. 99-77, Title II, Sec. 242, Dec. 12, 1985, 99 
            Stat. 1063.)
      1463  Sec. 1107. Deficiency and supplemental appropriations.
                The President may submit to Congress proposed deficiency 
            and supplemental appropriations the President decides are 
            necessary because of laws enacted after the submission of 
            the budget or that are in the public interest. The President 
            shall include the reasons for the submission of the proposed 
            appropriations and the reasons the proposed appropriations 
            were not included in the budget. When the total proposed 
            appropriations would have required the President to make a 
            recommendation under section 1105(c) of this title if they 
            had been included in the budget, the President shall make a 
            recommendation under that section. (Pub.L. 97-258, Sept. 13, 
            1982, 96 Stat. 911.)
      1464  Sec. 1108. Preparation and submission of appropriations 
                requests to the President.
                (a) In this section (except subsections (b)(1) and (e)), 
            ``agency'' means a department, agency, or instrumentality of 
            the United States Government.
                (b)(1) The head of each agency shall prepare and submit 
            to the President each appropriation request for the agency. 
            The request shall be prepared and submitted in the form 
            prescribed by the President under this chapter and by the 
            date established by the President. When the head of an 
            agency does not submit a request by that date, the President 
            shall prepare the request for the agency to be included in 
            the budget or changes in the budget or as deficiency and 
            supplemental appropriations. The President may change agency 
            appropriation requests. Agency appropriation requests shall 
            be developed from cost-based budgets in the way and at times 
            prescribed by the President. The head of the agency shall 
            use the cost-based budget to administer the agency and to 
            divide appropriations or amounts.
                (2) An officer or employee of an agency in the executive 
            branch may submit to the President or Congress a request for 
            legislation authorizing deficiency or supplemental 
            appropriations for the agency only with the approval of the 
            head of the agency.
                (c) The head of an agency shall include with an 
            appropriation request submitted to the President a report 
            that the statement of obligations submitted with the request 
            contains obligations consistent with section 1501 of this 
            title. The head of the agency shall support the report with 
            a certification of the consistency and shall support the 
            certification with records showing that the amounts have 
            been obligated. The head of the agency shall designate 
            officials to make the certifications, and those officials 
            may not delegate the duty to make the certifications. The 
            certifications and records shall be kept in the agency--
                            (1) in a form that makes audits and 
                        reconciliations easy; and
                            (2) for a period necessary to carry out 
                        audits and reconciliations.
                (d) To the extent practicable, the head of an agency 
            shall--
                            (1) provide information supporting the 
                        agency's budget request for its missions by 
                        function and subfunction (including the mission 
                        of each organizational unit of the agency); and
                            (2) relate the agency's programs to its 
                        missions.
                (e) Except as provided in subsection (f) of this 
            section, an officer or employee of an agency (as defined in 
            section 1101 of this title) may submit to Congress or a 
            committee of Congress an appropriations estimate or request, 
            a request for an increase in that estimate or request, or a 
            recommendation on meeting the financial needs of the 
            Government only when requested by either House of Congress.
                (f) The Interstate Commerce Commission shall submit to 
            Congress copies of budget estimates, requests, and 
            information (including personnel needs), legislative 
            recommendations, prepared testimony for congressional 
            hearings, and comments on legislation at the same time they 
            are sent to the President or the Office of Management and 
            Budget. An officer of an agency may not impose conditions on 
            or impair communication by the Commission with Congress, or 
            a committee or member of Congress, about the information.
                (g) Amounts available under law are available for field 
            examinations of appropriation estimates. The use of the 
            amounts is subject only to regulations prescribed by the 
            appropriate standing committees of Congress. (Pub.L. 97-258, 
            Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 912.)
      1465  Sec. 1109. Current programs and activities estimates.
                (a) On or before the first Monday after January 3 of 
            each year (on or before February 5 in 1986), the President 
            shall submit to both Houses of Congress the estimated budget 
            outlays and proposed budget authority that would be included 
            in the budget for the following fiscal year if programs and 
            activities of the United States Government were carried on 
            during that year at the same level as the current fiscal 
            year without a change in policy. The President shall state 
            the estimated budget outlays and proposed budget authority 
            by function and subfunction under the classifications in the 
            budget summary table under the heading ``Budget Authority 
            and Outlays by Function and Agency'', by major programs in 
            each function, and by agency. The President shall also 
            include a statement of the economic and program assumptions 
            on which those budget outlays and budget authority are 
            based, including inflation, real economic growth, and 
            unemployment rates, program caseloads, and pay increases.
                (b) The Joint Economic Committee shall review the 
            estimated budget outlays and proposed budget authority and 
            submit an economic evaluation of the budget outlays and 
            budget authority to the Committees on the Budget of both 
            Houses before March 1 of each year. (Pub.L. 97-258, Sept. 
            13, 1982, 96 Stat. 913; Pub.L. 99-177, Title II, Sec. 222,

            authority to continue a program or activity for a fiscal 
            year shall be submitted to Congress before May 16 of the 
            year before the year in which the fiscal year begins. If a 
            new program or activity will continue for more than one 
            year, the request must be submitted for at least the first 
            and second fiscal years. (Pub.L. 97-258, Sept. 13, 1982, 96 
            Stat. 913.)
      1467  Sec. 1111. Improving economy and efficiency.
                To improve economy and efficiency in the United States 
            Government, the President shall--
                            (1) make a study of each agency to decide, 
                        and may send Congress recommendations, on 
                        changes that should be made in--

                                (A) the organization, activities, and 
                            business methods of agencies;

                                (B) agency appropriations;

                            activities to particular services; and

                                (D) regrouping of services; and

                        reporting requirements to meet information needs 
                        identified by the Comptroller General, to 
                        improve their usefulness to congressional users, 
                        and to eliminate unnecessary reporting.
                (2) Before September 2 of each year, the Comptroller 
            General shall report to Congress on--
                            (A) the needs identified under paragraph

                        executive branch of the United States Government 
                        currently meets the identified needs;

                            (F) progress of the executive branch in the 
                        prior year.
                (3) Before March 2 of each year, the Director of the 
            Office of Management and Budget and the Secretary shall

                (a)(1) It is the policy of the Congress that the 
            privilege of sending mail as franked mail shall be 
            established under this section in order to assist and

            and duties of the Congress of the United States.
                (2) It is the intent of the Congress that such official 
            business, activities, and duties cover all matters which 
            directly or indirectly pertain to the legislative process or

                (3) It is the intent of the Congress that mail matter 
            which is frankable specifically includes, but is not limited 
            to--

                        agencies and officials of Federal, State, and

                        manner;

                        includes a biography or autobiography of any

                        biographical or autobiographical material 
                        concerning such Member or Member-elect or the 
                        spouse or other members of the family of such 
                        Member or Member-elect, and which is so mailed 
                        as a part of a Federal publication or in 
                        response to a specific request therefor and is 
                        not included for publicity purposes in a 
                        newsletter or other general mass mailing of the 
                        Member or Member-elect under the franking 
                        privilege; or
                            (J) mail matter which contains a picture, 
                        sketch, or other likeness of any Member or 
                        Member-elect and which is so mailed as a part of 
                        a Federal publication or in response to a 
                        specific request therefor and, when contained in 
                        a newsletter or other general mass mailing of 
                        any Member or Member-elect, is not of such size, 
                        or does not occur with such frequency in the 
                        mail matter concerned, as to lead to the 
                        conclusion that the purpose of such picture, 
                        sketch, or likeness is to advertise the Member 
                        or Member-elect rather than to illustrate 
                        accompanying text.
                (4) It is the intent of the Congress that the franking 
            privilege under this section shall not permit, and may not 
            be used for, the transmission through the mails as franked 
            mail, of matter which in its nature is purely personal to 
            the sender or to any other person and is unrelated

            to the official business, activities, and duties of the 
            public officials covered by subsection (b)(1) of this 
            section.

                (5) It is the intent of the Congress that a Member of or 
            Member-elect to Congress may not mail as franked mail--
                            (A) mail matter which constitutes or 
                        includes any article, account, sketch, 
                        narration, or other text laudatory and 
                        complimentary of any Member of, or Member-elect 
                        to, Congress on a purely personal or political 
                        basis rather than on the basis of performance of 
                        official duties as a Member or on the basis of 
                        activities as a Member-elect;
                            (B) mail matter which constitutes or 
                        includes--

                                (i) greetings from the spouse or other 
                            members of the family of such Member or 
                            Member-elect, unless it is a brief reference 
                            in otherwise frankable mail;

                                (ii) reports of how or when such Member 
                            or Member-elect, or the spouse or any other 
                            member of the family of such Member or 
                            Member-elect, spends time other than in the 
                            performance of, or in connection with, the 
                            legislative, representative, and other 
                            official functions of such Member or the 
                            activities of such Member-elect as a Member-
                            elect; or

                                (iii) any card expressing holiday 
                            greetings from such Member or Member-elect; 
                            or

                            (C) mail matter which specifically solicits 
                        political support for the sender or any other 
                        person or any political party, or a vote or 
                        financial assistance for any candidate for any 
                        public office.

            The House Commission on Congressional Mailing Standards and 
            the Select Committee on Standards and Conduct of the Senate 
            shall prescribe for their respective Houses such rules and 
            regulations and shall take such other action, as the 
            Commission or Committee considers necessary and proper for 
            the Members and Members-elect to conform to the provisions 
            of this clause and applicable rules and regulations. Such 
            rules and regulations shall include, but not be limited to, 
            provisions prescribing the time within which such mailings 
            shall be mailed at or delivered to any postal facility to 
            attain compliance with this clause and the time when such 
            mailings shall be deemed to have been so mailed or delivered 
            and such compliance attained.

                (6)(A) It is the intent of Congress that a Member of, or 
            Member-elect to, Congress may not mail any mass mailing as 
            franked mail--
                            (i) if the mass mailing is mailed fewer than 
                        60 days (or, in the case of a Member of the 
                        House, fewer than 90 days) immediately before 
                        the date of any primary election or general 
                        election (whether regular, special, or runoff) 
                        in which the Member is a candidate for 
                        reelection; or
                            (ii) in the case of a Member of, or Member-
                        elect to, the House who is a candidate for any 
                        other public office, if the mass mailing--

                                (I) is prepared for delivery within any 
                            portion of the jurisdiction of or the area 
                            covered by the public office which is 
                            outside the area constituting the 
                            congressional district from which the Member 
                            or Member-elect was elected; or

                                (II) is postmarked fewer than 90 days 
                            immediately before the date of any primary 
                            election or general election (whether 
                            regular, special, or runoff) in which the 
                            Member or Member-elect is a candidate for 
                            any other public office.

                (B) Any mass mailing which is mailed by the chairman of 
            any organization referred to in the last sentence of section 
            3215 of this title which relates to the normal and regular 
            business of the organization may be mailed without regard to 
            the provisions of this paragraph.
                (C) No Member of the Senate may mail any mass mailing as 
            franked mail if such mass mailing is postmarked fewer than 
            60 days immediately before the date of any primary election 
            or general election (whether regular, special, or runoff) 
            for any national, State or local office in which such Member 
            is a candidate for election.
                (D) The Select Committee on Ethics of the Senate and the 
            House Commission on Congressional Mailing Standards shall 
            prescribe for their respective Houses rules and regulations, 
            and shall take other action as the Committee or the 
            Commission considers necessary and proper for Members and 
            Members-elect to comply with the provisions of this 
            paragraph and applicable rules and regulations. The rules 
            and regulations shall include provisions prescribing the 
            time within which mailings shall be mailed at or delivered 
            to any postal facility and the time when the mailings shall 
            be deemed to have been mailed or delivered to comply with 
            the provisions of this paragraph.
                (E) As used in this section, the term ``mass mailing'' 
            means, with respect to a session of Congress, any mailing of 
            newsletters or other pieces of mail with substantially 
            identical content (whether such mail is deposited singly or 
            in bulk, or at the same time or different times), totaling 
            more than 500 pieces in that session, except that such term 
            does not include any mailing--

                        communication from a person to whom the matter 
                        is mailed;
                            (ii) from a Member of Congress to other 
                        Members of Congress, or to Federal, State, or 
                        local government officials; or
                            (iii) of a news release to the 
                        communications media.
                (F) For purposes of subparagraphs (A) and (C) if mail 
            matter is of a type which is not customarily postmarked, the 
            date on which such matter would have been postmarked if it 
            were of a type customarily postmarked shall apply.
                (7) A Member of the House of Representatives may not 
            send any mass mailing outside the congressional district 
            from which the Member was elected.

            Representatives, and the Senate Legal Counsel may send, as

            this section.

            of Representatives or the Senate, the Law Revision Counsel 
            of the House of Representatives, or the Senate Legal Counsel 
            any authorized person may exercise the franking privilege in 
            the officer's name during the period of the vacancy.
                (3) The Vice President, each Member of Congress, the 
            Secretary of the Senate, the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate, 
            and each of the elected officers of the House (other than a

            Standards and Conduct of the Senate\1\ shall prescribe for 
            their respective Houses such rules and regulations, and

                (e) The frankability of mail matter shall be determined 
            under the provisions of this section by the type and content 
            of the mail sent, or to be sent.
                (f) Any mass mailing which otherwise would be permitted 
            to be mailed as franked mail under this section shall not be

            Congress, except that an otherwise frankable mass mailing 
            may contain, as an enclosure or supplement, any public 
            service material which is purely instructional or

            preparing or printing such frankable matter for such mailing 
            under the frank, shall not be considered as a contribution 
            to, or an expenditure by, the Vice President or a Member of 
            Congress for the purpose of determining any limitation on 
            expenditures or contributions with respect to any such 
            official, imposed by any Federal, State, or local law or

                          703.6.0.--Official Mail (Franked)

            703.6.1  Basic Information

            703.6.1.1  Members of Congress. Official mail of Members of 
            Congress is sent without prepayment of postage and bears 
            instead a written or printed facsimile signature or a 
            specified marking. Exhibit 6.1.1 shows what is accepted 
            under frank and who is authorized its use.

            703.6.1.2  Former President and Spouse. Any former President 
            of the United States and any surviving spouse of a former 
            President may send nonpolitical mail as franked mail if it 
            bears the sender's written or facsimile signature and the 
            words ``Postage and Fees Paid'' in the upper right corner of 
            the address side.

            703.6.1.3  Surviving Spouse of Member of Congress. When a 
            Member of Congress dies during the term of office, the 
            Member's surviving spouse may send correspondence relating 
            to the death without prepayment of postage, for a period not 
            to exceed 180 days after the death of the Member. The mail 
            must bear the sender's written or facsimile signature in the 
            upper right corner of the address side. If there is no 
            surviving spouse, this privilege may be exercised by an 
            immediate family member of the deceased Member of Congress 
            designated by the Secretary of the Senate or the Clerk of 
            the House of Representatives, as appropriate.

            703.6.1.4  Use. A person entitled to use franked mail may 
            not lend this frank or permit its use by any committee, 
            organization, association, or other person. This restriction 
            does not apply to a committee of the Congress.

            703.6.1.5  Criteria. Franked mail must be addressed to the 
            recipient by name, except under 602.3.0, Use of Alternative 
            Addressing, and it must meet the mailability criteria in 601 
            and the physical standards for the class of mail used.\1\

                \1\Part 602.3.0 describes alternative addressing 
                formats. Part 601.1.0 gives general mailability 
                standards (such as requisite dimensions, packaging, and 
                containers). Part 601.11.0 describes articles and 
                substances prohibited because they may be injurious to 
                life, health or property (such as liquor or firearms). 
                Part 601.12.0 refers to restricted forms of printed 
                materials (such as deceptive solicitations or sexually 
                oriented advertisements).

            703.6.1.6  Handling. Franked mail is entitled to all special 
            services for which it is properly endorsed, and is handled 
            and forwarded as ordinary mail, except that after delivery 
            to the addressee, it may not be remailed.

            703.6.1.7  Package to One Addressee. A person entitled to 
            use franked mail may send a package of franked mail to one 
            addressee, who may open the package and, on behalf of such 
            person, address the franked articles and mail them.

                                                                    Exhibit 6.1.1\1\

                            reimbursement.--The Administrator may obtain 
                            reimbursement by the issuance of transfer

                                    Administrator.

            (e) Reimbursement for equipment purchased for Congress.--The 
                Administrator may accept periodic reimbursement from the 
                Senate and from the House of Representatives for the 
                cost of any equipment purchased for the Senate or the 
                House of Representatives with money from the Fund. The 
                amount of each periodic reimbursement shall be computed 
                by amortizing the total cost of each item of equipment 
                over the useful life of the equipment, as determined by

                sufficient level of inventory of personal property to 
                meet the needs of Federal agencies, the replacement cost 
                of motor vehicles, and other anticipated operating needs 
                reflected in the cost and capital plan developed under 
                subsection (b), the uncommitted balance of any funds 
                remaining in the Fund shall be transferred to the 
                general fund of the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.

            environs, the Secretary of the Interior or Administrator of 
            General Services, as appropriate, shall determine that--
                            (1) the site and design have been approved 
                        by the Secretary or Administrator, the National 
                        Capital Planning Commission and the Commission 
                        of Fine Arts;
                            (2) knowledgeable individuals qualified in 
                        the field of preservation and maintenance have 
                        been consulted to determine structural soundness 
                        and durability of the commemorative work and to 
                        ensure that the commemorative work meets high 
                        professional standards;
                            (3) the sponsor authorized to construct the 
                        commemorative work has submitted contract 
                        documents for construction of the commemorative 
                        work to the Secretary or Administrator; and
                            (4) the sponsor authorized to construct the 
                        commemorative work has available sufficient 
                        amounts to complete construction of the project.
            (b) Donation for Perpetual Maintenance and Preservation
                (1) In addition to the criteria described in subsection 
            (a), no construction permit shall be issued unless the 
            sponsor authorized to construct the commemorative work has 
            donated an amount equal to 10 percent of the total estimated 
            cost of construction to offset the costs of perpetual 
            maintenance and preservation of the commemorative work. All 
            such amounts shall be available for those purposes pursuant 
            to the provisions of this subsection. The provisions of this 
            subsection shall not apply in instances when the 
            commemorative work is constructed by a Department or agency 
            of the Federal Government and less than 50 percent of the 
            funding for such work is provided by private sources.

            deposit in the Treasury on the date of enactment of the 
            Commemorative Works Clarification and Revision Act of 2003 
            provided by a sponsor for maintenance pursuant to this 
            subsection shall be credited to a separate account in the 
            Treasury.
                (3) Money provided by a sponsor pursuant to the 
            provisions of this subsection after the date of enactment of 
            the Commemorative Works Clarification and Revision Act of 
            2003 shall be credited to a separate account with the 
            National Park Foundation.
                (4) Upon request of the Secretary or Administrator (as 
            appropriate), the Secretary of the Treasury or the National 
            Park Foundation shall make all or a portion of such moneys 
            available to the Secretary or the Administrator (as 
            appropriate) for the maintenance of a commemorative work.

            request funds from a separate account exceeding the total 
            money in the account established under paragraph (2) or (3). 
            The Secretary and the Administrator shall maintain an 
            inventory of funds available for such purposes. Funds 
            provided under this paragraph shall be available without

            expended.
            (c) Suspension for Misrepresentation in Fundraising

            suspend any activity under this chapter that relates to the 
            establishment of a commemorative work if the Secretary or 
            Administrator determines that fundraising efforts relating 
            to the work have misrepresented an affiliation with the work 
            or the Federal Government.
            (d) Annual Report
                The person authorized to construct a commemorative work 
            under this chapter must submit to the Secretary of the 
            Interior or Administrator an annual report of operations, 
            including financial statements audited by an independent

      1523  Sec. 8907. Temporary site designation.
            (a) Criterion for designation
                If the Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with 
            the National Capital Memorial Commission, determines that a 
            site where commemorative works may be displayed on a 
            temporary basis is necessary to aid in the preservation of 
            the limited amount of open space available to residents of, 
            and visitors to, the Nation's Capital, a site may be 
            designated on land the Secretary administers in the District 
            of Columbia.
            (b) Plan
                A designation may be made under subsection (a) only if, 
            at least 120 days before the designation, the Secretary, in 
            consultation with the Commission, prepares and submits to 
            Congress a plan for the site. The plan shall include 
            specifications for the location, construction, and 
            administration of the site and criteria for displaying 
            commemorative works at the site.
            (c) Risk and agreement to indemnify
                A commemorative work displayed at the site shall be 
            installed, maintained, and removed at the sole expense and 
            risk of the person authorized to display the work. The 
            person shall agree to indemnify the United States for any 
            liability arising from the display of the commemorative work 
            under this section. (Pub.L. 103-321, Sec. 2(f), Aug. 26,

      1524  Sec. 8908. Areas I and II.
            (a) Availability of map
                The Secretary of the Interior or the Administrator of 
            General Services (as appropriate) shall make available, for

            commemorative work in Area I only if the Secretary or 
            Administrator decides that the subject of the commemorative 
            work is of preeminent historical and lasting significance to 
            the United States. The Secretary or Administrator shall 
            notify the Commission, the Committee on House Administration 
            of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Energy 
            and Natural Resources of the Senate of the recommendation 
            that a commemorative work should be located in Area I. The 
            location of a commemorative work in Area I is deemed to be 
            authorized only if the recommendation is approved by law not 
            later than 150 calendar days after the notification.
                (2) Area II.--Commemorative works of subjects of lasting 
            historical significance to the American people may be

                        many copies as may be required for distribution 
                        to State libraries and designated depositories. 
                        In binding documents the Public Printer shall 
                        give precedence to those that are to be 
                        distributed to libraries and to designated 
                        depositories. But a State library or designated 
                        depository entitled to documents that may prefer 
                        to have its documents in unbound form, may do so 
                        by notifying the Superintendent of Documents to 
                        that effect prior to the convening of each 
                        Congress.
                (d) The usual number of reports on private bills, 
            concurrent or simple resolutions, may not be printed. 
            Instead there shall be printed of each Senate report on a 
            private bill, simple or concurrent resolution, in addition 
            to those required to be furnished the Library of Congress, 
            three hundred and forty-five copies, which shall be 
            distributed as follows: to the Senate document room, two 
            hundred and twenty copies; to the Secretary of the Senate, 
            fifteen copies; to the House document room, one hundred 
            copies; to the Superintendent of Documents, ten copies; and 
            of each House report on a private bill, simple or concurrent 
            resolution, in addition to those for the Library of 
            Congress, two hundred and sixty copies, which shall be 
            distributed as follows: to the Senate document room, one 
            hundred and thirty-five copies; to the Secretary of the 
            Senate, fifteen copies; to the House document room, one 
            hundred copies; to the Superintendent of Documents, ten 
            copies.
                This section does not prevent the binding of all Senate 
            and House reports in the reserve volumes bound for and 
            delivered to the Senate and House libraries, nor abridge the 
            right of the Vice President, Senators, Representatives, 
            Resident Commissioner, Secretary of the Senate, and Clerk of 
            the House to have bound in half morocco, or material not 
            more expensive, one copy of every public document to which 
            he may be entitled. At least twelve copies of each report on 
            bills for the payment or adjudication of claims against the 
            Government shall be kept on file in the Senate document 
            room. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1246.)

                Copies in addition to the ``usual number'' of documents 
            and reports shall be printed promptly when ready for 
            publication, and may be bound in paper or cloth as the Joint

      1615  Sec. 703. Printing extra copies.
                Orders for printing copies in addition to the ``usual 
            number'', otherwise than provided for by this section, shall 
            be by simple, concurrent, or joint resolution. Either House 
            may print extra copies to the amount of $1,200 by simple 
            resolution; if the cost exceeds that sum, the printing shall 
            be ordered by concurrent resolution, unless the resolution 
            is self-appropriating, when it shall be by joint resolution. 
            Resolutions, when presented to either House, shall be 
            referred to the Committee on House Oversight of the House of 
            Representatives or the Committee on Rules and Administration 
            of the Senate, who, in making their report, shall give the 
            probable cost of the proposed printing upon the estimate of 
            the Public Printer; and extra copies may not be printed 
            before the committee has reported. The printing of 
            additional copies may be performed upon orders of the Joint 
            Committee on Printing within a limit of $700 in cost in any 
            one instance. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1247;

            Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives may 
            order the reprinting of not more than one thousand copies of 
            a pending bill, resolution, or public law, not exceeding 
            fifty pages, or a report from a committee or congressional 
            commission on pending legislation not accompanied by 
            testimony or exhibits or other appendices and not exceeding 
            fifty pages. The Public Printer shall require each 
            requisition for reprinting to cite the specific authority of 
            law for its execution. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82

            case of duplication shall print under the first order 
            received. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1248.)

            in the interest of economy and efficiency, and to so 
            continue until final enactment in both Houses of Congress. 
            The committee may also curtail the number of copies of bills 
            or resolutions, including the slip form of a public Act or

                The Joint Committee on Printing shall establish rules to

            and reports printed for Congress, or either House, may be 
            printed in two or more editions, to meet the public 
            requirements. The aggregate of the editions may not exceed 
            the number of copies otherwise authorized. This section does 
            not prevent the printing of the full number of a document or 
            report, or the allotment of the full quota to Senators and 
            Representatives, as otherwise authorized, when a legitimate 
            demand for the full complement is known to exist. (Pub.L.

            distribution by Congress, shall lapse when the whole number 
            of copies has not been ordered within two years from the 
            date of the original order, except orders for subsequent 
            editions, approved by the Joint Committee on Printing, in

            authorized by law. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat.

                        of the Senate, to be known as Senate reports;
                            one series of reports made by the committees 
                        of the House of Representatives, to be known as 
                        House reports;
                            one series of documents other than reports 
                        of committees, the orders for printing which 
                        originate in the Senate, to be known as Senate 
                        documents, and

            hundred and fifty to any one applicant, copies of bills, 
            reports, and documents. The applicants shall pay in advance 
            the price of the printing. The printing of these copies for 
            private parties may not interfere with the printing for the 
            Government. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1279.)
      1666  Sec. 1710. Index of documents: number and distribution.
                The Superintendent of Documents, at the close of each

            comprehensive index of public documents, upon a plan 
            approved by the Joint Committee on Printing. The Public 
            Printer shall, immediately upon its publication, deliver to 
            him a copy of every document printed by the Government 
            Printing Office. The head of each executive department, 
            independent agency and establishment of the Government shall 
            deliver to him a copy of every document issued or published 
            by the department, bureau, or office not confidential in 
            character. He shall also prepare and print in one volume a 
            consolidated index of Congressional documents, and shall 
            index single volumes of documents as the Joint Committee on 
            Printing directs. Two thousand copies each of the 
            comprehensive index and of the consolidated index shall be 
            printed and bound in addition to the usual number, two 
            hundred for the Senate, eight hundred for the House of 
            Representatives and one thousand for distribution by the 
            Superintendent of Documents. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 
            82 Stat. 1280.)
      1667  Sec. 1715. Publications for department or officer or for 
                congressional committees.
                When printing not bearing a congressional number, except 
            confidential matter, blank forms, and circular letters not 
            of a public character, is done for a department or officer 
            of the Government, or not of a confidential character, is

            libraries, respectively, and one copy each to the document 
            rooms of the Senate and House of Representatives, for 
            reference; and these copies may not be removed. (Pub.L. 90-
            620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1281.)

      1669  Sec. 1719. International exchange of Government 
                publications.
                For the purpose of more fully carrying into effect the 
            convention concluded at Brussels on March 15, 1886, and 
            proclaimed by the President of the United States on January 
            15, 1889, there shall be supplied to the Superintendent of 
            Documents not to exceed one hundred and twenty-five copies 
            each of all Government publications, including the daily and 
            bound copies of the Congressional Record, for distribution

            no public interest or educational value, and publications 
            classified for reasons of national security shall be 
            exempted from this requirement. The printing, binding, and

                       Chapter 19.--DEPOSITORY LIBRARY PROGRAM

      1670  Sec. 1901. Definition of Government publication.
                ``Government publication'' as used in this chapter, 
            means informational matter which is published as an 
            individual document at Government expense, or as required by 
            law. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1283.)
      1671  Sec. 1902. Availability of Government publications through 
                Superintendent of Documents; lists of publications not 
                ordered from Government Printing Office.
                Government publications, except those determined by 
            their issuing components to be required for official use 
            only or for strictly administrative or operational purposes 
            which have no public interest or educational value and 
            publications classified for reasons of national security, 
            shall be made available to depository libraries through the 
            facilities of the Superintendent of Documents for public 
            information. Each component of the Government shall furnish 
            the Superintendent of Documents a list of such publications 
            it issued during the previous month, that were obtained from 
            sources other than the Government Printing Office. (Pub.L. 
            90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1283.)
      1672  Sec. 1903. Distribution of publications to depositories; 
                notice to Government components; cost of printing and 
                binding.
                Upon request of the Superintendent of Documents, 
            components of the Government ordering the printing of 
            publications shall either increase or decrease the number of 
            copies of publications furnished for distribution to 
            designated depository libraries and State libraries so that 
            the number of copies delivered to the Superintendent of 
            Documents is equal to the number of libraries on the list. 
            The number thus delivered may not be restricted by any 
            statutory limitation in force on August 9, 1962. Copies of 
            publications furnished the Superintendent of Documents for 
            distribution to designated depository libraries shall 
            include--
                            the journals of the Senate and House of 
                        Representatives;
                            all publications, not confidential in 
                        character, printed upon the requisition of a 
                        congressional committee;
                            Senate and House public bills and 
                        resolutions; and
                            reports on private bills, concurrent or 
                        simple resolutions;

            but not so-called cooperative publications which must 
            necessarily be sold in order to be self-sustaining.

                The Superintendent of Documents shall currently inform 
            the components of the Government ordering printing of 
            publications as to the number copies of their publications 
            required for distribution to depository libraries. The cost 
            of printing and binding those publications distributed to 
            depository libraries obtained elsewhere than from the 
            Government Printing Office, shall be borne by components of 
            the Government responsible for their issuance; those 
            requisitioned from the Government Printing Office shall be 
            charged to appropriations provided the Superintendent of 
            Documents for that purpose. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 
            82 Stat. 1283.)
      1673  Sec. 1904. Classified list of Government publications for 
                selection by depositories.
                The Superintendent of Documents shall currently issue a 
            classified list of Government publications in suitable form, 
            containing annotations of contents and listed by item 
            identification numbers to facilitate the selection of only 
            those publications needed by depository libraries. The 
            selected publications shall be distributed to depository 
            libraries in accordance with regulations of the 
            Superintendent of Documents, as long as they fulfill the 
            conditions provided by law. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 
            82 Stat. 1284.)
      1674  Sec. 1905. Distribution to depositories; designation of 
                additional libraries; justification; authorization for 
                certain designations.
                The Government publications selected from lists prepared 
            by the Superintendent of Documents, and when requested from 
            him, shall be distributed to depository libraries 
            specifically designated by law and to libraries designated 
            by Senators, Representatives, and the Resident Commissioner 
            from Puerto Rico, by the Commissioner of the District of 
            Columbia, and by the Governors of Guam, American Samoa, and 
            the Virgin Islands, respectively. Additional libraries 
            within areas served by Representatives or the Resident 
            Commissioner from Puerto Rico may be designated by them to 
            receive Government publications to the extent that the total 
            number of libraries designated by them does not exceed two 
            within each area. Not more than two additional libraries 
            within a State may be designated by each Senator from the 
            State. Before an additional library within a State, 
            congressional district or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is 
            designated as a depository for Government publications, the 
            head of that library shall furnish his Senator, 
            Representative, or the Resident Commissioner from Puerto 
            Rico, as the case may be, with justification of the 
            necessity for the additional designation. The justification, 
            which shall also include a certification as to the need for 
            the additional depository library designation, shall be 
            signed by the head of every existing depository library 
            within the congressional district or the Commonwealth of 
            Puerto Rico or by the head of the library authority of the 
            State or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, within which the 
            additional depository library is to be located. The 
            justification for additional depository library designations 
            shall be transmitted to the Superintendent of Documents by 
            the Senator, Representative, or the Resident Commissioner 
            from Puerto Rico, as the case may be. The Commissioner of 
            the District of Columbia may designate two depository 
            libraries in the District of Columbia, the Governor of Guam 
            and the Governor of American Samoa may each designate one 
            depository library in Guam and American Samoa, respectively, 
            and the Governor of the Virgin Islands may designate one 
            depository library on the island of Saint Thomas and one on 
            the island of Saint Croix. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 
            Stat. 1284.)
      1675  Sec. 1906. Land-grant colleges constituted depositories.
                Land-grant colleges are constituted depositories to 
            receive Government publications subject to the depository 
            laws. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1284.)
      1676  Sec. 1909. Requirements of depository libraries; reports on 
                conditions; investigations; termination; replacement.
                Only a library able to provide custody and service for 
            depository materials and located in an area where it can 
            best serve the public need, and within an area not already 
            adequately served by existing depository libraries may be 
            designated by Senators, Representatives, the Resident 
            Commissioner from Puerto Rico, the Commissioner of the 
            District of Columbia, or the Governors of Guam, American 
            Samoa, or the Virgin Islands as a depository of Government 
            publications. The designated depository libraries shall 
            report to the Superintendent of Documents at least every two 
            years concerning their condition.
                The Superintendent of Documents shall make firsthand 
            investigation of conditions for which need is indicated and 
            include the results of investigations in his annual report. 
            When he ascertains that the number of books in a depository 
            library is below ten thousand, other than Government 
            publications, or it has ceased to be maintained so as to be 
            accessible to the public, or that the Government 
            publications which have been furnished the library have not 
            been properly maintained, he shall delete the library from 
            the list of depository libraries if the library fails to 
            correct the unsatisfactory conditions within six months. The 
            Representative or the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico 
            in whose area the library is located or the Senator who made 
            the designation, or a successor of the Senator, and, in the 
            case of a library in the District of Columbia, the 
            Commissioner of the District of Columbia, and in the case of 
            a library in Guam, American Samoa, or the Virgin Islands, 
            the Governor, shall be notified and shall then be authorized 
            to designate another library within the area served by him, 
            which shall meet the conditions herein required, but which 
            may not be in excess of the number of depository libraries 
            authorized by law within the State, district, territory, or 
            the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, as the case may be. (Pub.L. 
            90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1285.)
      1677  Sec. 1910. Designations of replacement depositories; 
                limitations on numbers; conditions.
                The designation of a library to replace a depository 
            library, other than a depository library specifically 
            designated by law, may be made only within the limitations 
            on total numbers specified by section 1905 of this title, 
            and only when the library to be replaced ceases to exist, or 
            when the library voluntarily relinquishes its depository 
            status, or when the Superintendent of Documents determines 
            that it no longer fulfills the conditions provided by law 
            for depository libraries. (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 
            Stat. 1286.)
      1678  Sec. 1912. Regional depositories; designation; functions; 
                disposal of publications.
                Not more than two depository libraries in each State and 
            the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico may be designated as 
            regional depositories, and shall receive from the 
            Superintendent of Documents copies of all new and revised 
            Government publications authorized for distribution to 
            depository libraries. Designation of regional depository 
            libraries may be made by a Senator or the Resident 
            Commissioner from Puerto Rico within the areas served by 
            them, after approval by the head of the library authority of 
            the State or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, as the case 
            may be, who shall first ascertain from the head of the 
            library to be so designated that the library will, in 
            addition to fulfilling the requirements for depository 
            libraries, retain at least one copy of all Government 
            publications either in printed or microfacsimile form 
            (except those authorized to be discarded by the 
            Superintendent of Documents); and within the region served 
            will provide interlibrary loan, reference service, and 
            assistance for depository libraries in the disposal of 
            unwanted Government publications. The agreement to function 
            as a regional depository library shall be transmitted to the 
            Superintendent of Documents by the Senator or the Resident 
            Commissioner from Puerto Rico when the designation is made.
                The libraries designated as regional depositories may 
            permit depository libraries, within the areas served by 
            them, to dispose of Government publications which they have 
            retained for five years after first offering them to other

                        by the Archivist pursuant to paragraph (2) of 
                        this subsection.
                (5) The Archivist may not--
                            (A) accept or take title to land, a 
                        facility, or equipment under subparagraph (A) of

                        archival depository, until the expiration of a 
                        period of 60 days of continuous session of 
                        Congress beginning on the date on which the 
                        Archivist transmits the report required under 
                        paragraph (3) of this subsection with respect to 
                        such Presidential archival depository or the 
                        report required under paragraph (4) of this 
                        subsection with respect to such change or 
                        addition, as the case may be.
                (b) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public 
            interest, he may deposit in a Presidential archival 
            depository papers, documents, or other historical materials 
            accepted under section 2111 of this title, or Federal 
            records appropriate for preservation.
                (c) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public 
            interest, he may exercise, with respect to papers, 
            documents, or other historical materials deposited under 
            this section, or otherwise, in a Presidential archival 
            depository, all the functions and responsibilities otherwise 
            vested in him pertaining to Federal records or other 
            documentary materials in his custody or under his control. 
            The Archivist, in negotiating for the deposit of 
            Presidential historical materials, shall take steps to 
            secure to the Government, as far as possible, the right to 
            have continuous and permanent possession of the materials. 
            Papers, documents, or other historical materials accepted 
            and deposited under section 2111 of this title and this 
            section are subject to restrictions as to their availability 
            and use stated in writing by the donors or depositors, 
            including the restriction that they shall be kept in a 
            Presidential archival depository. The restrictions shall be 
            respected for the period stated, or until revoked or 
            terminated by the donors or depositors or by persons legally 
            qualified to act on their behalf. Subject to the 
            restrictions, the Archivist may dispose by sale, exchange, 
            or otherwise, of papers, documents, or other materials which 
            the Archivist determines to have no permanent value or 
            historical interest or to be surplus to the needs of a 
            Presidential archival depository. Only the first two 
            sentences of this subsection shall apply to Presidential 
            records as defined in section 2201(2) of this title.
                (d) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public 
            interest, he may cooperate with and assist a university, 
            institution of higher learning, institute, foundation, or 
            other organization or qualified individual to further or to 
            conduct study or research in historical materials deposited 
            in a Presidential archival depository.
                (e) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public 
            interest, he may charge and collect reasonable fees for the 
            privilege of visiting and viewing exhibit rooms or museum 
            space or for the occasional, non-official use of rooms and 
            spaces (and services related to such use), in a Presidential 
            archival depository.
                (f) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public 
            interest, he may provide reasonable office space in a 
            Presidential archival depository for the personal use of a 
            former President of the United States.
                (g)(1) When the Archivist considers it to be in the 
            public interest, the Archivist may solicit and accept gifts 
            or bequests of money or other property for the purpose of 
            maintaining, operating, protecting, or improving a 
            Presidential archival depository. The proceeds of gifts or 
            bequests, together with the proceeds from fees or from sales 
            of historical materials, copies or reproductions, catalogs, 
            or other items, having to do with a Presidential archival 
            depository, shall be paid into an account in the National 
            Archives Trust Fund and shall be held, administered, and 
            expended for the benefit and in the interest of the 
            Presidential archival depository in connection with which 
            they were received, and for the same purposes and objects, 
            including custodial and administrative services for which 
            appropriations for the maintenance, operation, protection, 
            or improvement of Presidential archival depositories might 
            be expended.
                (2) The Archivist shall provide for the establishment in 
            such Trust Fund of separate endowments for the maintenance 
            of the land, facility, and equipment of each Presidential 
            archival depository, to which shall be credited any gifts or 
            bequests received under paragraph (1) that are offered for 
            that purpose. Income to each such endowment shall be 
            available to cover the cost of facility operations, but 
            shall not be available for the performance of archival 
            functions under this title.
                (3) The Archivist shall not accept or take title to any 
            land, facility, or equipment under subparagraph (A) of 
            subsection (a)(1), or enter into any agreement to use any 
            land, facility, or equipment under subparagraph (B) of such 
            subsection for the purpose of creating a Presidential 
            archival depository, unless the Archivist determines that 
            there is available, by gift or bequest for deposit under 
            paragraph (2) of this subsection in an endowment with 
            respect to such depository, an amount for the purpose of 
            maintaining such land, facility, and equipment equal to--
                            (A) the product of--

                                (i) the total cost of acquiring or 
                            constructing such facility and of acquiring 
                            and installing such equipment, multiplied by

                                (ii) 20 percent; plus

                            (B)(i) if title to the land is to be vested 
                        in the United States, the product of--

                                (I) the total cost of acquiring the land 
                            upon which such facility is located, or such 
                            other measure of the value of such land as 
                            is mutually agreed upon by the Archivist and 
                            the donor, multiplied by

                                (II) 20 percent; or

                            (ii) if title to the land is not to be 
                        vested in the United States, the product of--

                                (I) the total cost to the donor of any 
                            improvements to the land upon which such 
                            facility is located (other than such 
                            facility and equipment), multiplied by

                                (II) 20 percent; plus

                            (C) if the Presidential archival depository 
                        will exceed 70,000 square feet in area, an 
                        amount equal to the product of--

                                (i) the sum of--

                                        (I) the total cost described in 
                                    clause (i) of subparagraph (A); plus

                                        (II) the total cost described in 
                                    subclause (I) or (II) of 
                                    subparagraph (B)(i), as the case may 
                                    be, multiplied by

                                (ii) the percentage obtained by dividing 
                            the number of square feet by which such 
                            depository will exceed 70,000 square feet by 
                            70,000.

                (4) If a proposed physical or material change or 
            addition to a Presidential archival depository would result 
            in an increase in the costs of facility operations, the 
            Archivist may not accept any gift under subparagraph (C) of 
            paragraph (1) for the purpose of making such a change or 
            addition, or may not implement any provision of law 
            requiring the making of such a change or addition, unless 
            the Archivist determines that there is available, by gift or 
            bequest for deposit under paragraph (2) of this subsection 
            in an endowment with respect to such depository, an amount 
            for the purpose of maintaining the land, facility, and 
            equipment of such depository equal to the difference 
            between--
                            (A) the amount which, pursuant to paragraph 
                        (3) of this subsection, would have been required 
                        to have been available for deposit in such 
                        endowment with respect to such depository if 
                        such change or addition had been included in 
                        such depository on--

                                (i) the date on which the Archivist took 
                            title to the land, facility, and equipment 
                            for such depository under subparagraph (A) 
                            of subsection (a)(1); or

                                (ii) the date on which the Archivist 
                            entered into an agreement for the creation 
                            of such depository under subparagraph (B) of 
                            such paragraph, as the case may be; minus

                            (B) the amount which, pursuant to paragraph 
                        (3) of this subsection, was required to be 
                        available for deposit in such endowment with 
                        respect to such depository on the date the 
                        Archivist took such title or entered into such 
                        agreement, as the case may be.
                (5)(A) Notwithstanding paragraphs (3) and (4) (to the 
            extent that such paragraphs are inconsistent with this 
            paragraph), this subsection shall be administered in 
            accordance with this paragraph with respect to any 
            Presidential archival depository created as a depository for 
            the papers, documents, and other historical materials and 
            Presidential records pertaining to any President who takes 
            the oath of office as President for the first time on or 
            after July 1, 2002.
                (B) For purposes of subparagraphs (A)(ii), (B)(i)(II), 
            and (B)(ii)(II) of paragraph (3) the percentage of 40 
            percent shall apply instead of 20 percent.
                (C)(i) In this subparagraph, the term ``base endowment 
            amount'' means the amount of the endowment required under 
            paragraph (3).
                (ii)(I) The Archivist may give credits against the base 
            endowment amount if the Archivist determines that the 
            proposed Presidential archival depository will have 
            construction features or equipment that are expected to 
            result in quantifiable long-term savings to the Government 
            with respect to the cost of facility operations.
                (II) The features and equipment described under 
            subclause (I) shall comply with the standards promulgated by 
            the Archivist under subsection (a)(2).
                (III) The Archivist shall promulgate standards to be 
            used in calculating the dollar amount of any credit to be 
            given, and shall consult with all donors of the endowment 
            before giving any credits. The total dollar amount of 
            credits given under this paragraph may not exceed 20 percent 
            of the base endowment amount.
                (D)(i) In calculating the additional endowment amount 
            required under paragraph (4), the Archivist shall take into 
            account credits given under subparagraph (C), and may also 
            give credits against the additional endowment amount 
            required under paragraph (4), if the Archivist determines 
            that construction features or equipment used in making or 
            equipping the physical or material change or addition are 
            expected to result in quantifiable long-term savings to the 
            Government with respect to the cost of facility operations.
                (ii) The features and equipment described under clause 
            (i) shall comply with the standards promulgated by the 
            Archivist under subsection (a)(2).
                (iii) The Archivist shall promulgate standards to be 
            used in calculating the dollar amount of any credit to be 
            given, and shall consult with all donors of the endowment 
            before giving any credits. The total dollar amount of 
            credits given under this paragraph may not exceed 20 percent 
            of the additional endowment amount required under paragraph 
            (4). (Pub.L. 90-620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1289,

      1684  Sec. 3303a. Examination by Archivist of lists and schedules 
                of records lacking preservation value; disposal of 
                records.
                (a) The Archivist shall examine the lists and schedules 
            submitted to him under section 3303 of this title. If the 
            Archivist determines that any of the records listed in a 
            list or schedule submitted to him do not, or will not after 
            the lapse of the period specified, have sufficient 
            administrative, legal, research, or other value to warrant 
            their continued preservation by the Government, he may, 
            after publication of notice in the Federal Register and an 
            opportunity for interested persons to submit comment 
            thereon--
                            (1) notify the agency to that effect; and
                            (2) empower the agency to dispose of those 
                        records in accordance with regulations 
                        promulgated under section 3302 of this title.
                (b) Authorizations granted under lists and schedules 
            submitted to the Archivist under section 3303 of this title, 
            and schedules promulgated by the Archivist under subsection 
            (d) of this section, shall be mandatory, subject to section 
            2909 of this title. As between an authorization granted 
            under lists and schedules submitted to the Archivist under 
            section 3303 of this title and an authorization contained in 
            a schedule promulgated under subsection (d) of this section, 
            application of the authorization providing for the shorter 
            retention period shall be required, subject to section 2909 
            of this title.
                (c) The Archivist may request advice and counsel from 
            the Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate and 
            the Committee on House Oversight of the House of 
            Representatives with respect to the disposal of any 
            particular records under this chapter whenever he considers 
            that--
                            (1) those particular records may be of 
                        special interest to the Congress; or
                            (2) consultation with the Congress regarding 
                        the disposal of those particular records is in 
                        the public interest.

            However, this subsection does not require the Archivist to 
            request such advice and counsel as a regular procedure in 
            the general disposal of records under this chapter.

                (d) The Archivist shall promulgate schedules authorizing 
            the disposal, after the lapse of specified periods of time, 
            of records of a specified form or character common to 
            several or all agencies if such records will not, at the end 
            of the periods specified, have sufficient administrative, 
            legal, research, or other value to warrant their further 
            preservation by the United States Government.
                (e) The Archivist may approve and effect the disposal of 
            records that are in his legal custody, provided that records 
            that had been in the custody of another existing agency may 
            not be disposed of without the written consent of the head 
            of the agency.
                (f) The Archivist shall make an annual report to the 
            Congress concerning the disposal of records under this 
            chapter, including general descriptions of the types of 
            records disposed of and such other information as he 
            considers appropriate to keep the Congress fully informed 
            regarding the disposal of records under this chapter. (Added

                (a) In carrying out the functions under this subchapter, 
            the Director shall--
                            (1) in consultation with agency heads, set 
                        an annual Governmentwide goal for the reduction 
                        of information collection burdens by at least 10 
                        percent during each of fiscal years 1996 and 
                        1997 and 5 percent during each of fiscal years 
                        1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, and set annual 
                        agency goals to--

                            burdens imposed on the public that--

                                        (i) represent the maximum 
                                    practicable opportunity in each 
                                    agency; and

                                        (ii) are consistent with 
                                    improving agency management of the

                                    collections of information 
                                    established under section 3506(c); 
                                    and

                                (B) improve information resources 
                            management in ways that increase the

                            of Federal programs, including service 
                            delivery to the public;

                            (2) with selected agencies and non-Federal 
                        entities on a voluntary basis, conduct pilot 
                        projects to test alternative policies, 
                        practices, regulations, and procedures to 
                        fulfill the purposes of this subchapter, 
                        particularly with regard to minimizing the 
                        Federal information collection burden; and
                            (3) in consultation with the Administrator

                            agency and program performance;

                                    on the public, including reducing 
                                    such burdens through the elimination 
                                    of duplication and meeting shared 
                                    data needs with shared resources;

                                        (ii) enhancing public access to 
                                    and dissemination of, information,

                                        (iii) meeting the information 
                                    technology needs of the Federal 
                                    Government in accordance with the 
                                    purposes of this subchapter; and

                            applying information resources management to 
                            improve agency performance and the 
                            accomplishment of missions.

                (b) For purposes of any pilot project conducted under 
            subsection (a)(2), the Director may, after consultation with 
            the agency head, waive the application of any administrative 
            directive issued by an agency with which the project is 
            conducted, including any directive requiring a collection of 
            information, after giving timely notice to the public and 
            the Congress regarding the need for such waiver.
                (c) Inventory of Major Information Systems.--(1) The 
            head of each agency shall develop and maintain an inventory 
            of major information systems (including major national

            agency;
                (2) The identification of information systems in an

                             DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

                              IN CONGRESS JULY 4, 1776

            ____________________________________________________________

             THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF 
                                       AMERICA

                When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary 
            for one people to dissolve the political bands which have 
            connected them with another, and to assume among the powers 
            of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the 
            Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent 
            respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should 
            declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
                We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men 
            are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator 
            with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, 
            Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these 
            rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their 
            just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever 
            any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it 
            is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to 
            institute new Government, laying its foundation on such 
            principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to 
            them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and 
            Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments 
            long established should not be changed for light and 
            transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn 
            that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are 
            sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms 
            to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of 
            abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object 
            evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it 
            is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such 
            Government, and to provide new Guards for their future 
            security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these 
            Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains 
            them to alter their former Systems of Government. The 
            history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of 
            repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct 
            object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these 
            States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid 
            world.
                He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome 
            and necessary for the public good.
                He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate 
            and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation 
            till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended he 
            has utterly neglected to attend to them.
                He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation 
            of large districts of people, unless those people would 
            relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a 
            right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
                He has called together legislative bodies at places 
            unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the dispository of 
            their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them 
            into compliance with his measures.
                He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for 
            opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of 
            the people.
                He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, 
            to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative 
            powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the 
            People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in 
            the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from 
            without, and convulsions within.
                He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these 
            States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for 
            Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to 
            encourage their migrations hither, and raising the 
            conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
                He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by 
            refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary 
            powers.
                He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the 
            tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their 
            salaries.
                He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent 
            hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out 
            their substance.
                He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies 
            without the Consent of our legislatures.
                He has affected to render the Military independent of 
            and superior to the Civil power.
                He has combined with others to subject us to a 
            jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged 
            by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended 
            Legislation:
                For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
                For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment 
            for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants 
            of these States:
                For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
                For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
                For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial 
            by Jury:
                For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for 
            pretended offences:
                For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a 
            neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary 
            government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it 
            at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the 
            same absolute rule into these Colonies:
                For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most 
            valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our 
            Governments:
                For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring 
            themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all 
            cases whatsoever.
                He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of 
            his Protection and waging War against us.
                He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our 
            towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
                He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign 
            Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and 
            tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & 
            perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and 
            totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation.
                He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on 
            the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become 
            the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall 
            themselves by their Hands.
                He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and 
            has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our 
            frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of 
            warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes 
            and conditions.
                In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned 
            for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions 
            have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose 
            character is thus marked by every act which may define a 
            Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
                Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British 
            brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts 
            by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction 
            over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our 
            emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their 
            native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by 
            the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, 
            which would inevitably interrupt our connections and 
            correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of 
            justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce 
            in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold 
            them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in 
            Peace Friends.
                WE, THEREFORE, the Representatives of the United States 
            of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the 
            Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our 
            intentions, do, in the Name, and by authority of the good 
            People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That 
            these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and 
            Independent States; that they are Absolved from all 
            Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political 
            connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is 
            and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and 
            Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, 
            conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and 
            do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of 
            right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a 
            firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we 
            mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and 
            our sacred Honor.

                                HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

                While the Declaration of Independence was under 
            consideration in the Continental Congress, and before it was 
            finally agreed upon, measures were taken for the 
            establishment of a constitutional form of government; and on 
            the 11th of June, 1776, it was ``Resolved, That a committee 
            be appointed to prepare and digest the form of a 
            confederation to be entered into between these Colonies''; 
            which committee was appointed the next day, June 12, and 
            consisted of a member from each Colony, namely: Mr. 
            Bartlett, Mr. S. Adams, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Sherman, Mr. R. R. 
            Livingston, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. McKean, Mr. Stone, Mr. 
            Nelson, Mr. Hewes, Mr. E. Rutledge, and Mr. Gwinnett. On the 
            12th of July, 1776, the committee reported a draft of the 
            Articles of Confederation, which was printed for the use of 
            the members under the strictest injunctions of secrecy.
                This report underwent a thorough discussion in Congress, 
            from time to time, until the 15th of November, 1777; on 
            which day, ``Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union'' 
            were finally agreed to in form, and they were directed to be 
            proposed to the legislatures of all the United States, and 
            if approved by them, they were advised to authorize their 
            delegates to ratify the same in the Congress of the United 
            States; and in that event they were to become conclusive. On 
            the 17th of November, 1777, the Congress agreed upon the 
            form of a circular letter to accompany the Articles of 
            Confederation, which concluded with a recommendation to each 
            of the several legislatures ``to invest its delegates with 
            competent powers, ultimately, and in the name and behalf of 
            the State, to subscribe articles of confederation and 
            perpetual union of the United States, and to attend Congress 
            for that purpose on or before the 10th day of March next.'' 
            This letter was signed by the President of Congress and 
            sent, with a copy of the articles, to each State 
            legislature.
                On the 26th of June, 1778, Congress agreed upon the form 
            of a ratification of the Articles of Confederation, and 
            directed a copy of the articles and the ratification to be 
            engrossed on parchment; which, on the 9th of July, 1778, 
            having been examined and the blanks filled, was signed by 
            the delegates of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode 
            Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, 
            Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina. Congress then 
            directed that a circular letter be addressed to the States 
            whose delegates were not present, or being present, 
            conceived they were not authorized to sign the ratification, 
            informing them how many and what States had ratified the 
            Articles of Confederation, and desiring them, with all 
            convenient dispatch, to authorize their delegates to ratify 
            the same. Of these States, North Carolina ratified on the 
            21st and Georgia on the 24th of July, 1778; New Jersey on 
            the 26th of November following; Delaware on the 5th of May, 
            1779; Maryland on the 1st of March, 1781; and on the 2d of 
            March, 1781, Congress assembled under the new form of 
            government.

            the site of the National Capital from September 30, 1777, to 
            June 27, 1778. Ratification of the Articles by the 
            respective delegates commenced on July 9, 1778, in 
            Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but was not completed until 
            March 1, 1781, when the Articles were signed by the 
            delegates from Maryland.

            extend so far as to prevent the removal of property imported 
            into any state, to any other state of which the Owner is an 
            inhabitant, provided also that no imposition, duties or 
            restriction shall be laid by any state, on the property of 
            the united states, or either of them.

            upon demand of the Governor or executive power, of the state 
            from which he fled, be delivered up and removed to the state 
            having jurisdiction of his offence.

            in November, in every year, with a power reserved to each 
            state, to recall its delegates, or any of them, at any time 
            within the year, and to send others in their stead, for the 
            remainder of the Year.
                No state shall be represented in Congress by less than 
            two, nor by more than seven Members; and no person shall be 
            capable of being a delegate for more than three years in any 
            term of six years; nor shall any person, being a delegate, 
            be capable of holding any office under the united states, 
            for which he, or another for his benefit receives any 
            salary, fees or emolument of any kind.
                Each state shall maintain its own delegates in a meeting 
            of the states, and while they act as members of the 
            committee of the states.
                In determining questions in the united states, in 
            Congress assembled, each state shall have one vote.
                Freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be 
            impeached or questioned in any Court, or place out of 
            Congress, and the members of congress shall be protected in 
            their persons from arrests and imprisonments, during the 
            time of their going to and from, and attendance on congress, 
            except for treason, felony, or breach of the peace.
    1701.7      Article vi. No state without the Consent of the united 
            states in congress assembled, shall send any embassy to, or 
            receive any embassy from, or enter into any conference, 
            agreement, alliance or treaty with any King, prince or 
            state; nor shall any person holding any office of profit or 
            trust under the united states, or any of them, accept of any 
            present, emolument, office or title of any kind whatever 
            from any king, prince or foreign state; nor shall the united 
            states in congress assembled, or any of them, grant any 
            title of nobility.
                No two or more states shall enter into any treaty, 
            confederation or alliance whatever between them, without the 
            consent of the united states in congress assembled, 
            specifying accurately the purposes for which the same is to 
            be entered into, and how long it shall continue.
                No state shall lay any imposts of duties, which may 
            interfere with any stipulations in treaties, entered into by 
            the united states in congress assembled with any king, 
            prince or state, in pursuance of any treaties already 
            proposed by congress to the courts of France and Spain.
                No vessels of war shall be kept up in time of peace by 
            any state, except such number only, as shall be deemed 
            necessary by the united states in congress assembled, for 
            the defence of such state, or its trade; nor shall any body 
            of forces be kept up by any state, in time of peace, except 
            such number only, as in the judgment of the united states, 
            in congress assembled, shall be deemed requisite to garrison 
            the forts necessary for the defence of such state; but every 
            state shall always keep up a well regulated and disciplined 
            militia, sufficiently armed and accoutred, and shall provide 
            and constantly have ready for use, in public stores, a due 
            number of field-pieces and tents, and a proper quantity of 
            arms, ammunition and camp equipage.
                No state shall engage in any war without the consent of 
            the united states in congress assembled, unless such state 
            be actually invaded by enemies, or shall have received 
            certain advice of a resolution being formed by some nation 
            of Indians to invade such state, and the danger is so 
            imminent as not to admit of a delay, till the united states 
            in congress assembled can be consulted: nor shall any state 
            grant commissions to any ships or vessels of war, nor 
            letters of marque or reprisal, except it be after a 
            declaration of war by the united states in Congress 
            assembled, and then only against the kingdom or state and 
            the subjects thereof, against which war has been so 
            declared, and under such regulations as shall be established 
            by the united states in congress assembled, unless such 
            state be infested by pirates, in which case vessels of war 
            may be fitted out for that occasion, and kept so long as the 
            danger shall continue, or until the united states in 
            congress assembled shall determine otherwise.
    1701.8      Article vii. When land-forces are raised by any state 
            for the common defence, all officers of or under the rank of 
            colonel, shall be appointed by the legislature of each state 
            respectively by whom such forces shall be raised, or in such 
            manner as such state shall direct, and all vacancies shall 
            be filled up by the state which first made the appointment.
    1701.9      Article viii. All charges of war, and all other expences 
            that shall be incurred for the common defence or general

            assembled, shall be defrayed out of a common treasury, which 
            shall be supplied by the several states, in proportion to 
            the value of all land within each state, granted to or 
            surveyed for any Person, as such land and the buildings and 
            improvements thereon shall be estimated according to such 
            mode as the united states in congress assembled, shall from 
            time to time direct and appoint.
                The taxes for paying that proportion shall be laid and 
            levied by the authority and direction of the legislatures of 
            the several states within the time agreed upon by the united 
            states in congress assembled.
   1701.10      Article ix. The united states in congress assembled, 
            shall have the sole and exclusive right and power of 
            determining on peace and war, except in the cases mentioned 
            in the sixth article--of sending and receiving embassadors--
            entering into treaties and alliances, provided that no 
            treaty of commerce shall be made whereby the legislative 
            power of the respective states shall be restrained from 
            imposing such imposts and duties on foreigners, as their own 
            people are subjected to, or from prohibiting the exportation 
            or importation of any species of goods or commodities 
            whatsoever--of establishing rules for deciding in all cases, 
            what captures on land or water shall be legal, and in what 
            manner prizes taken by land or naval forces in the service 
            of the united states shall be divided or appropriated--of 
            granting letters of marque and reprisal in times of peace--
            appointing courts for the trial of piracies and felonies 
            committed on the high seas and establishing courts for 
            receiving and determining finally appeals in all cases of 
            captures, provided that no member of congress shall be 
            appointed a judge of any of the said courts.
                The united states in congress assembled shall also be 
            the last resort on appeal in all disputes and differences 
            now subsisting or that hereafter may arise between two or 
            more states concerning boundary, jurisdiction or any other 
            cause whatever, which authority shall always be exercised in 
            the manner following. Whenever the legislative or executive 
            authority or lawful agent of any state in controversy with 
            another shall present a petition to congress stating the 
            matter in question and praying for a hearing, notice thereof 
            shall be given by order of congress to the legislative or 
            executive authority of the other state in controversy, and a 
            day assigned for the appearance of the parties by their 
            lawful agents, who shall then be directed to appoint by 
            joint consent, commissioners or judges to constitute a court 
            for hearing and determining the matter in question: but if 
            they cannot agree, congress shall name three persons out of 
            each of the united states, and from the list of such persons 
            each party shall alternately strike out one, the petitioners 
            beginning, until the number shall be reduced to thirteen; 
            and from that number not less than seven, nor more than nine 
            names as congress shall direct, shall in the presence of 
            congress be drawn out by lot, and the persons whose names 
            shall be so drawn or any five of them, shall be 
            commissioners or judges, to hear and finally determine the 
            controversy, so always as a major part of the judges who 
            shall hear the cause shall agree in the determination: and 
            if either party shall neglect to attend at the day 
            appointed, without showing reasons, which congress shall 
            judge sufficient, or being present shall refuse to strike, 
            the congress shall proceed to nominate three persons out of 
            each State, and the secretary of congress shall strike in 
            behalf of such party absent or refusing; and the judgment 
            and sentence of the court to be appointed, in the manner 
            before prescribed, shall be final and conclusive; and if any 
            of the parties shall refuse to submit to the authority of 
            such court, or to appear or defend their claim or cause, the 
            court shall nevertheless proceed to pronounce sentence, or 
            judgment, which shall in like manner be final and decisive, 
            the judgment or sentence and other proceedings being in 
            either case transmitted to congress, and lodged among the 
            acts of congress for the security of the parties concerned: 
            provided that every commissioner, before he sits in 
            judgment, shall take an oath to be administered by one of 
            the judges of the supreme or superior court of the state, 
            where the cause shall be tried, ``well and truly to hear and 
            determine the matter in question, according to the best of 
            his judgment without favour, affection or hope of reward'': 
            provided also that no state shall be deprived of territory 
            for the benefit of the united states.
                All controversies concerning the private right of soil 
            claimed under different grants of two or more states, whose 
            jurisdiction as they may respect such lands, and the states 
            which passed such grants are adjusted, the said grants or 
            either of them being at the same time claimed to have 
            originated antecedent to such settlement of jurisdiction, 
            shall on the petition of either party to the congress of the 
            united states, be finally determined as near as may be in 
            the same manner as is before prescribed for deciding 
            disputes respecting territorial jurisdiction between 
            different states.
                The united states in congress assembled shall also have 
            the sole and exclusive right and power of regulating the 
            alloy and value of coin struck by their own authority, or by 
            that of the respective states--fixing the standard of 
            weights and measures throughout the united states--
            regulating the trade and managing all affairs with the 
            Indians, not members of any of the states, provided that the 
            legislative right of any state within its own limits be not 
            infringed or violated--establishing and regulating post-
            offices from one state to another, throughout all the united 
            states, and exacting such postage on the papers passing 
            thro' the same as may be requisite to defray the expences of 
            the said office--appointing all officers of the land forces, 
            in the service of the united states, excepting regimental 
            officers--appointing all the officers of the naval forces, 
            and commissioning all officers whatever in the service of 
            the united states--making rules for the government and 
            regulation of the said land and naval forces, and directing 
            their operations.
                The united states in congress assembled shall have 
            authority to appoint a committee, to sit in the recess of 
            congress, to be denominated ``A Committee of the States,'' 
            and to consist of one delegate from each state; and to 
            appoint such other committees and civil officers as may be 
            necessary for managing the general affairs of the united 
            states under their direction--to appoint one of their number 
            to preside, provided that no person be allowed to serve in 
            the office of president more than one year in any term of 
            three years; to ascertain the necessary sums of Money to be 
            raised for the service of the united states, and to 
            appropriate and apply the same for defraying the public 
            expences--to borrow money, or emit bills on the credit of 
            the united states, transmitting every half year to the 
            respective states an account of the sums of moneys so 
            borrowed or emitted--to build and equip a navy--to agree 
            upon the number of land forces, and to make requisition from 
            each state for its quota, in proportion to the number of 
            white inhabitants in such state; which requisitions shall be 
            binding, and thereupon the legislature of each state shall 
            appoint the regimental officers, raise the men and cloath, 
            arm and equip them in a soldier like manner, at the expence 
            of the united states; and the officers and men so cloathed, 
            armed and equipped shall march to the place appointed, and 
            within the time agreed on by the united states in congress 
            assembled: But if the united states in congress assembled 
            shall, on consideration of circumstances judge proper that 
            any state should not raise men, or should raise a smaller 
            number than its quota, and that any other state should raise 
            a greater number of men than the quota thereof, such extra 
            number shall be raised, officered, cloathed, armed and 
            equipped in the same manner as the quota of such state, 
            unless the legislature of such state shall judge that such 
            extra number cannot be safely spared out of the same, in 
            which case they shall raise, officer, cloath, arm and equip 
            as many of such extra number as they judge can be safely 
            spared. And the officers and men so cloathed, armed and 
            equipped, shall march to the place appointed, and within the 
            time agreed on by the united states in congress assembled.
                The united states in congress assembled shall never 
            engage in a war, nor grant letters of marque and reprisal in 
            time of peace, nor enter into any treaties or alliances, nor 
            coin money, nor regulate the value thereof, nor ascertain 
            the sums and expences necessary for the defence and welfare 
            of the united states, or any of them, nor emit bills, nor 
            borrow money on the credit of the united states, nor 
            appropriate money, nor agree upon the number of vessels of 
            war, to be built or purchased, or the number of land or sea 
            forces to be raised, nor appoint a commander-in-chief of the 
            army or navy, unless nine states assent to the same; nor 
            shall a question on any other point, except for adjourning 
            from day to day be determined, unless by the votes of a 
            majority of the united states in congress assembled.
                The Congress of the united states shall have power to 
            adjourn to any time within the year, and to any place within 
            the united states, so that no period of adjournment be for a 
            longer duration than the space of six Months, and shall 
            publish the Journal of their proceedings monthly, except 
            such parts thereof relating to treaties, alliances or 
            military operations as in their judgment require secrecy; 
            and the yeas and nays of the delegates of each state on any 
            question shall be entered on the Journal, when it is desired 
            by any delegate; and the delegates of a state, or any of 
            them, at his or their request shall be furnished with a 
            transcript of the said Journal, except such parts as are 
            above excepted, to lay before the legislatures of the 
            several states.
   1701.11      Article x. The committee of the states, or any nine of 
            them, shall be authorized to execute, in the recess of 
            congress such of the powers of congress as the united states 
            in congress assembled, by the consent of nine states, shall 
            from time to time think expedient to vest them with; 
            provided that no power be delegated to the said committee, 
            for the exercise of which, by the articles of confederation, 
            the voice of nine states in the congress of the united 
            states assembled is requisite.
   1701.12      Article xi. Canada acceding to this confederation, and 
            joining in the measures of the united states, shall be 
            admitted into, and entitled to all the advantages of this 
            union: but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, 
            unless such admission be agreed to by nine states.
   1701.13      Article xii. All bills of credit emitted, monies 
            borrowed and debts contracted by, or under the authority of 
            congress, before the assembling of the united states, in 
            pursuance of the present confederation, shall be deemed and 
            considered as a charge against the united states, for 
            payment and satisfaction whereof the said united states, and 
            the public faith are hereby solemnly pledged.
   1701.14      Article xiii. Every state shall abide by the 
            determinations of the united states in congress assembled, 
            on all questions which by this confederation are submitted 
            to them. And the Articles of this confederation shall be 
            inviolably observed by every state, and the union shall be 
            perpetual; nor shall any alteration at any time hereafter be

            a congress of the united states, and be afterward confirmed 
            by the legislatures of every state.
   1701.15      AND WHEREAS it has pleased the Great Governor of the 
            World to incline the hearts of the legislatures we 
            respectively represent in congress, to approve of, and to

            and perpetual union. KNOW YE that we the undersigned

            ____________________________________________________________

              AN ORDINANCE FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE TERRITORY OF THE 
                      UNITED STATES NORTHWEST OF THE RIVER OHIO

                      [The Confederate Congress, July 13, 1787]

    1702.1      Section 1. Be it ordained by the United States in 
            Congress assembled, That the said Territory, for the purpose 
            of temporary government, by one district, subject, however, 
            to be divided into two districts, as future circumstances 
            may, in the opinion of Congress, make it expedient.
    1702.2      Sec. 2. Be it ordained by the authority aforesaid, That 
            the estates both of resident and non-resident proprietors in 
            the said territory, dying intestate, shall descend to, and 
            be distributed among, their children and the descendants of 
            a deceased child in equal parts, the descendants of a 
            deceased child or grandchild to take the share of their 
            deceased parent in equal parts among them; and where there 
            shall be no children or descendants, then in equal parts to 
            the next of kin, in equal degree; and among collaterals, the 
            children of a deceased brother or sister of the intestate 
            shall have, in equal parts among them, their deceased 
            parent's share; and there shall, in no case, be a 
            distinction between kindred of the whole and half blood; 
            saving in all cases to the widow of the intestate, her third 
            part of the real estate for life, and one-third part of the 
            personal estate; and this law relative to descents and 
            dower, shall remain in full force until altered by the 
            legislature of the district. And until the governor and 
            judges shall adopt laws as hereinafter mentioned, estates in 
            the said territory may be devised or bequeathed by wills in 
            writing, signed and sealed by him or her in whom the estate 
            may be (being of full age), and attested by three witnesses; 
            and real estates may be conveyed by lease and release, or 
            bargain and sale, signed, sealed, and delivered by the 
            person, being of full age, in whom the estate may be, and 
            attested by two witnesses, provided such wills be duly 
            proved, and such conveyances be acknowledged, or the 
            execution thereof duly proved, and be recorded within one 
            year after proper magistrates, courts, and registers, shall 
            be appointed for that purpose; and personal property may be 
            transferred by delivery, saving, however, to the French and 
            Canadian inhabitants, and other settlers of the Kaskaskies, 
            Saint Vincents, and the neighboring villages, who have 
            heretofore professed themselves citizens of Virginia, their 
            laws and customs now in force among them, relative to the 
            descent and conveyance of property.
    1702.3      Sec. 3. Be it ordained by the authority aforesaid, That 
            there shall be appointed, from time to time, by Congress, a 
            governor whose commission shall continue in force for the 
            term of three years, unless sooner revoked by Congress; he 
            shall reside in the district, and have a freehold estate 
            therein, in one thousand acres of land, while in the 
            exercise of his office.
    1702.4      Sec. 4. There shall be appointed from time to time, by 
            Congress, a secretary, whose commission shall continue in 
            force for four years, unless sooner revoked; he shall reside 
            in the district, and have a freehold estate therein, in five 
            hundred acres of land, while in the exercise of his office. 
            It shall be his duty to keep and preserve the acts and laws 
            passed by the legislature, and the public records of the 
            district, and the proceedings of the governor in his 
            executive department, and transmit authentic copies of such 
            acts and proceedings every six months to the Secretary of 
            Congress. There shall also be appointed a court, to consist 
            of three judges, any two of whom to form a court, who shall 
            have a common-law jurisdiction, and reside in the district, 
            and have each therein a freehold estate, in five hundred 
            acres of land, while in the exercise of their offices; and 
            their commissions shall continue in force during good 
            behavior.
    1702.5      Sec. 5. The governor and judges, or a majority of them, 
            shall adopt and publish in the district such laws of the 
            original States, criminal and civil, as may be necessary, 
            and best suited to the circumstances of the district, and 
            report them to Congress from time to time, which laws shall 
            be in force in the district until the organization of the 
            general assembly therein, unless disapproved of by Congress; 
            but afterwards the legislature shall have authority to alter 
            them as they shall think fit.
    1702.6      Sec. 6. The governor, for the time being, shall be 
            commander-in-chief of the militia, appoint and commission 
            all officers in the same below the rank of general officers; 
            all general officers shall be appointed, and commissioned by 
            Congress.
    1702.7      Sec. 7. Previous to the organization of the general 
            assembly the governor shall appoint such magistrates, and 
            other civil officers, in each county or township, as he 
            shall find necessary for the preservation of the peace and 
            good order in the same. After the general assembly shall be 
            organized the powers and duties of magistrates and other 
            civil officers shall be regulated and defined by the said 
            assembly; but all magistrates and other civil officers, not 
            herein otherwise directed, shall, during the continuance of 
            this temporary government, be appointed by the governor.
    1702.8      Sec. 8. For the prevention of crimes and injuries, the 
            laws to be adopted or made shall have force in all parts of 
            the district, and for the execution of process, criminal and 
            civil, the governor shall make proper divisions thereof, and 
            he shall proceed, from time to time, as circumstances may 
            require, to lay out the parts of the district in which the 
            Indian titles shall have been extinguished, into counties 
            and townships, subject, however, to such alterations as may 
            thereafter be made by the legislature.
    1702.9      Sec. 9. So soon as there shall be five thousand free 
            male inhabitants, of full age, in the district, upon giving 
            proof thereof to the governor, they shall receive authority, 
            with time and place, to elect representatives from their 
            counties or townships, to represent them in the general 
            assembly: Provided, That for every five hundred free male 
            inhabitants there shall be one representative, and so on, 
            progressively, with the number of free male inhabitants, 
            shall the right of representation increase, until the number 
            of representatives shall amount to twenty-five; after which 
            the number and proportion of representatives shall be 
            regulated by the legislature: Provided, That no person be 
            eligible or qualified to act as a representative, unless he 
            shall have been a citizen of one of the United States three 
            years, and be a resident in the district, or unless he shall 
            have resided in the district three years, and, in either 
            case, shall likewise hold in his own right, in fee-simple, 
            two hundred acres of land within the same: Provided also, 
            That a freehold in fifty acres of land in the district, 
            having been a citizen of one of the States, and being 
            resident in the district, or the like freehold and two 
            years' residence in the district, shall be necessary to 
            qualify a man as an elector of a representative.
   1702.10      Sec. 10. The representatives thus elected shall serve 
            for the term of two years; and in case of the death of a 
            representative, or removal from office, the governor shall 
            issue a writ to the county or township, for which he was a 
            member, to elect another in his stead, to serve for the 
            residue of the term.
   1702.11      Sec. 11. The general assembly, or legislature, shall 
            consist of the governor, legislative council, and a house of 
            representatives. The legislative council shall consist of 
            five members, to continue in office five years, unless 
            sooner removed by Congress; any three of whom to be a 
            quorum; and the members of the council shall be nominated 
            and appointed in the following manner, to wit: As soon as 
            representatives shall be elected the governor shall appoint 
            a time and place for them to meet together, and, when met 
            they shall nominate ten persons, resident in the district, 
            and each possessed of a freehold in five hundred acres of 
            land, and return their names to Congress, five of whom 
            Congress shall appoint and commission to serve as aforesaid; 
            and whenever a vacancy shall happen in the council, by death 
            or removal from office, the house of representatives shall 
            nominate two persons, qualified as aforesaid, for each 
            vacancy, and return their names to Congress, one of whom 
            Congress shall appoint and commission for the residue of the 
            term; and every five years, four months at least before the 
            expiration of the time of service of the members of the 
            council, the said house shall nominate ten persons, 
            qualified as aforesaid, and return their names to Congress, 
            five of whom Congress shall appoint and commission to serve 
            as members of the council five years, unless sooner removed. 
            And the governor, legislative council, and house of 
            representatives shall have authority to make laws in all 
            cases for the good government of the district, not repugnant 
            to the principles and articles in this ordinance established 
            and declared. And all bills, having passed by a majority in 
            the house, and by a majority in the council, shall be 
            referred to the governor for his assent; but no bill or 
            legislative act whatever, shall be of any force without his 
            assent. The governor shall have power to convene, prorogue, 
            and dissolve the general assembly, when, in his opinion, it 
            shall be expedient.
   1702.12      Sec. 12. The governor, judges, legislative council, 
            secretary, and such other officers as Congress shall appoint 
            in the district, shall take an oath or affirmation of 
            fidelity, and of office; the governor before the President 
            of Congress, and all other officers before the governor. As 
            soon as a legislature shall be formed in the district, the 
            council and house assembled, in one room, shall have 
            authority, by joint ballot, to elect a delegate to Congress, 
            who shall have a seat in Congress, with a right of debating, 
            but not of voting, during this temporary government.
   1702.13      Sec. 13. And for extending the fundamental principles of 
            civil and religious liberty, which form the basis whereon 
            these republics, their laws and constitutions, are erected; 
            to fix and establish those principles as the basis of all 
            laws, constitutions, and governments, which forever 
            hereafter shall be formed in the said territory; to provide, 
            also, for the establishment of States, and permanent 
            government therein, and for their admission to a share in 
            the Federal councils on an equal footing with the original 
            States, at as early periods as may be consistent with the 
            general interest:
   1702.14      Sec. 14. It is hereby ordained and declared, by the 
            authority aforesaid, That the following articles shall be 
            considered as articles of compact, between the original 
            States and the people and States in the said territory, and 
            forever remain unalterable, unless by common consent, to 
            wit:

   1702.15                            Article I

                No person, demeaning himself in a peaceable and orderly 
            manner, shall ever be molested on account of his mode of 
            worship, or religious sentiments, in the said territories.

   1702.16                           Article II

                The inhabitants of the said territory shall always be 
            entitled to the benefits of the writs of habeas corpus, and 
            of the trial by jury; of a proportionate representation of 
            the people in the legislature, and of judicial proceedings 
            according to the course of the common law. All persons shall 
            be bailable, unless for capital offences, where the proof 
            shall be evident, or the presumption great. All fines shall 
            be moderate; and no cruel or unusual punishments shall be 
            inflicted. No man shall be deprived of his liberty or 
            property, but by the judgment of his peers, or the law of 
            the land, and should the public exigencies make it 
            necessary, for the common preservation, to take any person's 
            property, or to demand his particular services, full 
            compensation shall be made for the same. And, in the just 
            preservation of rights and property, it is understood and 
            declared, that no law ought ever to be made or have force in 
            the said territory, that shall, in any manner whatever, 
            interfere with or affect private contracts, or engagements, 
            bona fide, and without fraud previously formed.

   1702.17                           Article III

                Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to 
            good government, and the happiness of mankind, schools and 
            the means of education shall forever be encouraged. The 
            utmost good faith shall always be observed towards the 
            Indians; their lands and property shall never be taken from 
            them without their consent; and in their property, rights, 
            and liberty they never shall be invaded or disturbed, unless 
            in just and lawful wars authorized by Congress; but laws 
            founded in justice and humanity shall, from time to time, be 
            made, for preventing wrongs being done to them, and for 
            preserving peace and friendship with them.

   1702.18                           Article IV

                The said territory, and the States which may be formed 
            therein, shall forever remain a part of this confederacy of 
            the United States of America, subject to the Articles of 
            Confederation, and to such alterations therein as shall be 
            constitutionally made; and to all the acts and ordinances of 
            the United States in Congress assembled, conformable 
            thereto. The inhabitants and settlers in the said territory 
            shall be subject to pay a part of the Federal debts, 
            contracted, or to be contracted, and a proportional part of 
            the expenses of government to be apportioned on them by 
            Congress, according to the same common rule and measure by 
            which apportionments thereof shall be made on the other 
            States; and the taxes for paying their proportion shall be 
            laid and levied by the authority and direction of the 
            legislatures of the district or districts, or new States, as 
            in the original States, within the time agreed upon by the 
            United States in Congress assembled. The legislatures of 
            those districts, or new States, shall never interfere with 
            the primary disposal of the soil by the United States in 
            Congress assembled, nor with any regulations Congress may 
            find necessary for securing the title in such soil to the 
            bona-fide purchasers. No tax shall be imposed on lands the 
            property of the United States; and in no case shall non-
            resident proprietors be taxed higher than residents. The 
            navigable waters leading into the Mississippi and Saint 
            Lawrence, and the carrying places between the same, shall be 
            common highways, and forever free, as well to the 
            inhabitants of the said territory as to the citizens of the 
            United States, and those of any other States that may be 
            admitted into the confederacy, without any tax, impost, or 
            duty therefor.
            [Sands v. Manistee River Imp. Co., 123 U.S. 288.]
   1702.19                            Article V

                There shall be formed in the said territory not less 
            than three nor more than five States; and the boundaries of 
            the States, as soon as Virginia shall alter her act of 
            cession and consent to the same, shall become fixed and 
            established as follows, to wit: The western State, in the 
            said territory, shall be bounded by the Mississippi, the 
            Ohio, and the Wabash Rivers; a direct line drawn from the 
            Wabash and Post Vincents, due north, to the territorial line 
            between the United States and Canada; and by the said 
            territorial line to the Lake of the Woods and Mississippi. 
            The middle State shall be bounded by the said direct line, 
            the Wabash from Post Vincents to the Ohio, by the Ohio, by a 
            direct line drawn due north from the mouth of the Great 
            Miami to the said territorial line, and by the said 
            territorial line. The eastern State shall be bounded by the 
            last-mentioned direct line, the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the 
            said territorial line: Provided, however, And it is further 
            understood and declared, that the boundaries of these three 
            States shall be subject so far to be altered that, if

                    CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

            ____________________________________________________________

                                HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

                In May 1785, a committee of Congress made a report 
            recommending an alteration in the Articles of Confederation, 
            but no action was taken on it, and it was left to the State 
            Legislatures to proceed in the matter. In January 1786, the 
            Legislature of Virginia passed a resolution providing for 
            the appointment of five commissioners, who, or any three of 
            them, should meet such commissioners as might be appointed 
            in the other States of the Union, at a time and place to be 
            agreed upon, to take into consideration the trade of the 
            United States; to consider how far a uniform system in their 
            commercial regulations may be necessary to their common 
            interest and their permanent harmony; and to report to the 
            several States such an act, relative to this great object, 
            as, when ratified by them, will enable the United States in 
            Congress effectually to provide for the same. The Virginia 
            commissioners, after some correspondence, fixed the first 
            Monday in September as the time, and the city of Annapolis 
            as the place for the meeting, but only four other States 
            were represented, viz: Delaware, New York, New Jersey, and 
            Pennsylvania; the commissioners appointed by Massachusetts, 
            New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Rhode Island failed to 
            attend. Under the circumstances of so partial a 
            representation, the commissioners present agreed upon a 
            report (drawn by Mr. Hamilton, of New York), expressing 
            their unanimous conviction that it might essentially tend to 
            advance the interests of the Union if the States by which 
            they were respectively delegated would concur, and use their 
            endeavors to procure the concurrence of the other States, in 
            the appointment of commissioners to meet at Philadelphia on 
            the second Monday of May following, to take into 
            consideration the situation of the United States; to devise 
            such further provisions as should appear to them necessary 
            to render the Constitution of the Federal Government 
            adequate to the exigencies of the Union; and to report such 
            an act for that purpose to the United States in Congress 
            assembled as, when agreed to by them and afterwards 
            confirmed by the Legislatures of every State, would 
            effectually provide for the same.
                Congress, on the 21st of February, 1787, adopted a 
            resolution in favor of a convention, and the Legislatures of 
            those States which had not already done so (with the 
            exception of Rhode Island) promptly appointed delegates. On 
            the 25th of May, seven States having convened, George 
            Washington, of Virginia, was unanimously elected President, 
            and the consideration of the proposed constitution was 
            commenced. On the 17th of September, 1787, the Constitution 
            as engrossed and agreed upon was signed by all the members 
            present, except Mr. Gerry, of Massachusetts, and Messrs. 
            Mason and Randolph, of Virginia. The president of the 
            convention transmitted it to Congress, with a resolution 
            stating how the proposed Federal Government should be put in 
            operation, and an explanatory letter. Congress, on the 28th 
            of September, 1787, directed the Constitution so framed, 
            with the resolutions and letter concerning the same, to ``be 
            transmitted to the several Legislatures in order to be 
            submitted to a convention of delegates chosen in each State 
            by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the 
            convention.''
                On the 4th of March, 1789, the day which had been fixed 
            for commencing the operations of Government under the new 
            Constitution, it had been ratified by the conventions chosen 
            in each State to consider it, as follows: Delaware, December 
            7, 1787; Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787; New Jersey, 
            December 19, 1787; Georgia, January 2, 1788; Connecticut, 
            January 9, 1788; Massachusetts, February 6, 1788; Maryland, 
            April 28, 1788; South Carolina, May 23, 1788; New Hampshire, 
            June 21, 1788; Virginia, June 25, 1788; and New York, July 
            26, 1788.
                The President informed Congress, on the 28th of January, 
            1790, that North Carolina had ratified the Constitution 
            November 21, 1789; and he informed Congress on the 1st of 
            June, 1790, that Rhode Island had ratified the Constitution 
            May 29, 1790. Vermont, in convention, ratified the 
            Constitution January 10, 1791, and was, by an act of 
            Congress approved February 18, 1791, ``received and admitted 
            into this Union as a new and entire member of the United 
            States.''

            Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that 
            no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One

            first Article, and that no State without its Consent, shall 
            be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

    1716.1      \1\All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into,

            constitution of the united states

                                       [1720]


            ____________________________________________________________

            articles in addition to, and amendment of, the constitution 
                of the united states of america, proposed by congress, 
                and ratified by the legislatures of the several states, 
                pursuant to the fifth article of the original 
                constitution\1\
                \1\In Dillon v. Gloss, 256 U.S. 368[1921], the Supreme 
            Court stated that it would take judicial notice of the date 
            on which a State ratified a proposed constitutional 
            amendment. Accordingly the Court consulted the State 
            journals to determine the dates on which each house of the 
            legislature of certain States ratified the Eighteenth 
            amendment. It, therefore, follows that the date on which the 
            governor approved the ratification, or the date on which the 
            secretary of state of a given State certified the 
            ratification, or the date on which the Secretary of State of 
            the United States received a copy of said certificate, or 
            the date on which he proclaimed that the amendment had been 
            ratified are not controlling. Hence, the ratification date 
            given on the following pages is the date on which the 
            legislature of a given State approved the particular 
            amendment (signature by the speaker or presiding officers of 
            both houses being considered a part of the ratification of 
            the ``legislature''). When that date is not available, the 
            date given is that on which it was approved by the governor 
            or certified by the secretary of state of the particular 
            State. In each case such fact has been noted. Information as 
            to ratification is based on data supplied by the Department 
            of State and the General Services Administration.

            ____________________________________________________________
      1721                        AMENDMENT [I]\2\

                Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment

            right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition 
            the Government for a redress of grievances.
                \2\Brackets enclosing an amendment number indicate that 
            the number was not specifically assigned in the resolution 
            proposing the amendment. It will be seen, accordingly, that 
            only amendments XIII, XIV, XV, and XVI were thus technically 
            ratified by number.

      1722                         AMENDMENT [II]

                A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the

      1723                         AMENDMENT [III]

      1724                         AMENDMENT [IV]

                The right of the people to be secure in their persons, 
            houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches 
            and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall 
            issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or 
            affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be 
            searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

      1725                          AMENDMENT [V]

                No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or 
            other wise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or 
            indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the 
            land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual 
            service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any 
            person be subject for the same offenses to be twice put in 
            jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any 
            criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be 
            deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process 
            of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, 
            without just compensation.

      1726                         AMENDMENT [VI]

                In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy 
            the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury 
            of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been 
            committed, which district shall have been previously 
            ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and 
            cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses 
            against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining 
            witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of

                In suits at common law, where the value in controversy 
            shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury 
            shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be 
            otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than 
            according to the rules of the common law.

      1728                        AMENDMENT [VIII]

                Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive 
            fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

      1729                         AMENDMENT [IX]

                The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, 
            shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained 
            by the people.

      1730                          AMENDMENT [X]

                The powers not delegated to the United States by the 
            Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are 
            reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

                The first 10 amendments\3\ to the Constitution (i.e. 
            nos. 3 to 12 of those proposed) were ratified by the several 
            State legislatures on the following dates: New Jersey, 
            November 20, 1789; Maryland, December 19, 1789; North 
            Carolina, December 22, 1789; South Carolina, January 19, 
            1790; New Hampshire, January 25, 1790; Delaware, January 28, 
            1790; New York, February 27, 1790; Pennsylvania, March 10, 
            1790; Rhode Island, June 7, 1790; Vermont, November 3, 1791; 
            Virginia, December 15, 1791; Massachusetts, March 2, 1939; 
            Georgia, March 18, 1939; Connecticut, April 19, 1939.
                \3\The first 10 amendments, along with 2 others, were 
            proposed by Congress on September 25, 1789, when they passed 
            the Senate [1 Ann. Cong. (1st Cong., 1st sess.) 90], having 
            previously passed the House on September 24 [Id., 948]. They 
            appear officially in 1 Stat. 97. Ratification was completed 
            on December 15, 1791, when the eleventh State (Virginia) 
            approved these amendments, there being then 14 States in the 
            Union. On March 1, 1792, Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of 
            State, addressed letters to the Governors of the several 
            States, advising them of the said ratifications (National 
            Archives, Department of State, American Letters, IV, 355).
                Proposal no. 1 prescribed the ratio of representation to 
            population in the House and was ratified by 10 states (1 
            short of the requisite number). Proposal no. 2 later 
            achieved ratification and became Amendment XXVII, Senate 
            Manual section 1747.
                *By Council of Revision. State legislature approved Feb. 
            24, 1790.
                  
      1731                         AMENDMENT [XI]

                The Judicial power of the United States shall not be 
            construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced 
            or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens 
            of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign 
            State.
                The eleventh amendment\4\ was ratified by the several 
            State legislatures on the following dates: New York, March 
            27, 1794; Rhode Island, March 31, 1794; Connecticut, May 8, 
            1794; New Hampshire, June 16, 1794; Massachusetts, June 26, 
            1794; Vermont, between October 9 and November 9, 1794; 
            Virginia, November 18, 1794; Georgia, November 29, 1794; 
            Kentucky, December 7, 1794; Maryland, December 26, 1794; 
            Delaware, January 23, 1795; North Carolina, February 7, 
            1795; South Carolina, December 4, 1797 [State Department, 
            Press Releases, vol. XII, p. 247 (1935)].
                \4\The eleventh amendment was proposed by Congress on 
            March 4, 1794, when it passed the House [4 Ann. Cong. (3d 
            Cong., 1st sess.) 477, 478], having previously passed the 
            Senate on January 14 [Id., 30, 31]. It appears officially in 
            1 Stat. 402. Ratification was completed on February 7, 1795, 
            when the twelfth State (North Carolina) approved the 
            amendment, there being then 15 States in the Union. Official 
            announcement of ratification was not made until January 8, 
            1798, when President John Adams in a message to Congress 
            stated that the eleventh amendment had been adopted by 
            three-fourths of the States and that it ``may now be deemed 
            to be part of the Constitution'' [1 Mess. and Papers of 
            Pres. 250]. In the interim South Carolina had ratified, and 
            Tennessee had been admitted into the Union as the sixteenth 
            State.
      1732                         AMENDMENT [XII]

                The electors shall meet in their respective states, and 
            vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of 
            whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state 
            with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person 
            voted for, as President, and in distinct ballots the person 
            voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct 
            lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all 
            persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of 
            votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and 
            transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United 
            States, directed to the President of the Senate;--The 
            President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate 
            and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and 
            the votes shall then be counted;--The person having the 
            greatest number of votes for President, shall be the 
            President, if such number be a majority of the whole number 
            of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, 
            then from the persons having the highest numbers not 
            exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, 
            the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by 
            ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the 
            votes shall be taken by states the representation from each 
            state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall 
            consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the 
            states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary 
            to a choice.\5\ [And if the House of Representatives shall 
            not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall 
            devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next 
            following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, 
            as in the case of the death or other constitutional 
            disability of the President.]--The person having the 
            greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the 
            Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole 
            number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a 
            majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the 
            Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the 
            purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of 
            Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be 
            necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally 
            ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to 
            that of Vice-President of the United States.

            superseded by section 3 of amendment XX, Senate Manual 
            section 1740.3.
                The twelfth amendment\6\ was ratified by the several 
            State legislatures on the following dates: North Carolina, 
            December 22, 1803; Maryland, December 24, 1803; Kentucky, 
            December 27, 1803; Ohio, between December 5 and December 30, 
            1803; Pennsylvania, January 5, 1804; Vermont, January 30, 
            1804; Virginia, between December 20, 1803 and February 3, 
            1804; New York, February 10, 1804; New Jersey, February 22, 
            1804; Rhode Island, between February 27 and March 12, 1804; 
            South Carolina, May 15, 1804; Georgia, May 19, 1804; New 
            Hampshire, June 15, 1804; Tennessee, July 27, 1804. The 
            amendment was rejected by Delaware on January 18, 1804; and 
            by Connecticut at its session begun May 10, 1804; 
            Massachusetts ratified this amendment in 1961 (after having 
            rejected it on February 3, 1804).
                \6\The twelfth amendment was proposed by Congress on 
            December 9, 1803, when it passed the House [13 Ann. Cong. 
            (8th Cong., 1st sess.) 775, 776], having previously passed 
            the Senate on December 2 [Id., 209]. It was not signed by 
            the presiding officers of the House and Senate until 
            December 12. It appears officially in 2 Stat. 306. 
            Ratification was probably completed on June 15, 1804, when 
            the legislature of the thirteenth State (New Hampshire) 
            approved the amendment, there being then 17 States in the 
            Union. The Governor of New Hampshire, however, vetoed this 
            act of the legislature on June 20, and the act failed to 
            pass again by two-thirds vote then required by the State 
            constitution. Inasmuch as article V of the Federal 
            Constitution specifies that amendments shall become 
            effective ``when ratified by the legislatures of three-
            fourths of the several States or by conventions in three-
            fourths thereof,'' it has been generally believed that an 
            approval or veto by a Governor is without significance. If 
            the ratification by New Hampshire be deemed ineffective, 
            then the amendment became operative by Tennessee's 
            ratification on July 27, 1804. On September 25, 1804, in a 
            circular letter to the Governors of the several States, 
            Secretary of State Madison declared the amendment ratified 
            by three-fourths of the States.
      1733                         AMENDMENT XIII

    1733.1      Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, 
            except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall 
            have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United 
            States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
    1733.2      Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this 
            article by appropriate legislation.
                The thirteenth amendment\7\ was ratified by the several 
            State legislatures on the following dates: Illinois, 
            February 1, 1865; Rhode Island, February 2, 1865; Michigan,

            March 9, 1865 (date on which it was ``approved'' by 
            Governor); Tennessee, April 7, 1865; Arkansas, April 14, 
            1865; Connecticut, May 4, 1865; New Hampshire, June 30,

            2, 1865 (date on which it was ``approved'' by Provisional 
            Governor); North Carolina, December 4, 1865; Georgia, 
            December 6, 1865; Oregon, December 11, 1865; California, 
            December 15, 1865; Florida, December 28, 1865 (Florida again 
            ratified this amendment on June 9, 1868, upon its adoption 
            of a new constitution); Iowa, January 17, 1866; New Jersey, 
            January 23, 1866 (after having rejected the amendment on 
            March 16, 1865); Texas, February 17, 1870; Delaware, 
            February 12, 1901 (after having rejected the amendment on 
            February 8, 1865); Kentucky, March 18, 1976 (after having 
            rejected the amendment on February 24, 1865). The amendment 
            was rejected by Mississippi on December 2, 1865.
                \7\The thirteenth amendment was proposed by Congress on 
            January 31, 1865, when it passed the House [Cong. Globe 
            (38th Cong., 2d sess.) 531], having previously passed the 
            Senate on April 8, 1864 [Id. (38th cong., 1st sess.) 1490]. 
            It appears officially in 13 Stat. 567 under date of February 
            1, 1865. Ratification was completed on December 6, 1865, 
            when the legislature of the twenty-seventh State (Georgia) 
            approved the amendment, there being then 36 States in the 
            Union. On December 18, 1865, Secretary of State Seward 
            certified that the thirteenth amendment had become a part of 
            the Constitution [13 Stat. 774].
                A ``thirteenth amendment'' depriving of United States 
            citizenship any citizen who should accept any title, office, 
            or emolument from a foreign power, was proposed by Congress 
            on May 1, 1810, when it passed the House [21 Ann. Cong. 
            (11th Cong., 2d sess.) 2050], having previously passed the 
            Senate on April 27 [20 Ann. Cong. (11th Cong., 2d sess.) 
            672]. It appears officially in 2 Stat. 613. It failed of 
            adoption, being ratified by but 12 States up to December 10, 
            1812 [2 Miscell. Amer. State Papers, 477-479; 2 Doc. Hist. 
            Const. 454-499], there then being 18 in all.
                Another ``thirteenth amendment'', forbidding any future 
            amendment that should empower Congress to interfere with the 
            domestic institution of any State, was proposed by Congress 
            on March 2, 1861, when it passed the Senate [Cong. Globe 
            (36th Cong., 2d sess.) 1403], having previously passed the 
            House on February 28 [Id., 1285]. It appears officially in 
            12 Stat. 2512. It failed of adoption, being ratified by but 
            three States: Ohio, May 13, 1861 [58 Laws Ohio 190]; 
            Maryland, January 10, 1862 [Laws Maryland (1861-62) 21]; 
            Illinois, February 14, 1862 [2 Doc. Hist. Const., 518] 
            irregular, because by convention instead of by legislature 
            as authorized by Congress.

      1734                          AMENDMENT XIV

    1734.1      Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United 
            States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are 
            citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they 
            reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall 
            abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the 
            United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of 
            life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor 
            deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal 
            protection of the laws.
    1734.2      Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among 
            the several States according to their respective numbers, 
            counting the whole number of persons in each State, 
            excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at 
            any election for the choice of electors for President and 
            Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in 
            Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or 
            the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of 
            the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years 
            of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way 
            abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other 
            crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced 
            in the proportion which the number of such male citizens 
            shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one 
            years of age in such State.
    1734.3      Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or 
            Representative in Congress, or elector of President and 
            Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under 
            the United States, or under any State, who, having 
            previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an 
            officer of the United States, or as a member of any State 
            legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any 
            State, to support the Constitution of the United States, 
            shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the 
            same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But 
            Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove 
            such disability.
    1734.4      Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United 
            States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for 
            payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing 
            insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But 
            neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay 
            any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or 
            rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the 
            loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, 
            obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
    1734.5      Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by 
            appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
                The fourteenth amendment\8\ was ratified by the several 
            State legislatures on the following dates: Connecticut, June 
            30, 1866; New Hampshire, July 7, 1866; Tennessee, July 19, 
            1866; New Jersey, September 11, 1866 (the New Jersey 
            Legislature on February 20, 1868, ``withdrew'' its consent 
            to the ratification; the Governor vetoed that bill on March 
            5, 1868, and it was repassed over his veto on March 24, 
            1868; and on Nov. 12, 1980, the Legislature expressed 
            support for the amendment); Oregon, September 19, 1866

            certified by the Missouri secretary of state); Rhode Island, 
            February 7, 1867; Pennsylvania, February 12, 1867; 
            Wisconsin, February 13, 1867 (actually passed February 7, 
            but not signed by legislative officers until February 13); 
            Massachusetts, March 20, 1867; Nebraska, June 15, 1867; 
            Iowa, March 9, 1868; Arkansas, April 6, 1868; Florida, June

            the amendment on December 13, 1866); Louisiana, July 9, 1868 
            (after having rejected the amendment on February 6, 1867); 
            South Carolina, July 9, 1868 (after having rejected the 
            amendment on December 20, 1866); Alabama, July 13, 1868 
            (date on which it was ``approved'' by the Governor); 
            Georgia, July 21, 1868 (after having rejected the amendment 
            on November 9, 1866--Georgia ratified again on February 2, 
            1870); Virginia, October 8, 1869 (after having rejected the 
            amendment on January 9, 1867); Mississippi, January 17, 
            1870; Texas, February 18, 1870 (after having rejected the 
            amendment on October 27, 1866); Delaware, February 12, 1901

                \8\The fourteenth amendment was proposed by Congress on 
            June 13, 1866, when it passed the House [Cong. Globe (39th 
            Cong., 1st sess.) 3148, 3149], having previously passed the 
            Senate on June 8 [Id., 3042]. It appears officially in 14 
            Stat. 358 under date of June 16, 1866. Ratification was 
            probably completed on July 9, 1868, when the legislature of 
            the twenty-eighth State (South Carolina or Louisiana) 
            approved the amendment, there being then 37 States in the 
            Union. However, Ohio and New Jersey had prior to that date 
            ``withdrawn'' their earlier assent to this amendment. 
            Accordingly, Secretary of State Seward on July 20, 1868, 
            certified that the amendment had become a part of the 
            Constitution if the said withdrawals were ineffective [15 
            Stat. 706-707]. Congress at once (July 21, 1868) passed a 
            joint resolution declaring the amendment a part of the 
            Constitution and directing the Secretary to promulgate it as 
            such. On July 28, 1868, Secretary Seward certified without 
            reservation that the amendment was a part of the 
            Constitution. In the interim, two other States, Alabama on 
            July 13 and Georgia on July 21, 1868, had added their 
            ratifications.
      1735                          AMENDMENT XV

    1735.1      Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to 
            vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or 
            by any State on account of race, color, or previous 
            condition of servitude.
    1735.2      Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this 
            article by appropriate legislation.

            ratified the first section of the 15th Amendment on March 1,

            Delaware, February 12, 1901 (date on which approved by 
            Governor; Delaware had previously rejected the amendment on 
            March 18, 1869); Oregon, February 24, 1959 (after having

            approved the amendment, there being then 37 States in the 
            Union. However, New York had prior to that date 
            ``withdrawn'' its earlier assent to this amendment. Even if 
            this withdrawal were effective, Nebraska's ratification on 
            February 17, 1870, authorized Secretary of State Fish's 
            certification of March 30, 1870, that the 15th amendment had 
            become a part of the Constitution [16 Stat. 1131].

                \14\The twentieth amendment was proposed by Congress on 
            March 2, 1932, when it passed the Senate [Cong. Rec. (72d 
            Cong., 1st sess.) 5086], having previously passed the House 
            on March 1 [Id., 5027]. It appears officially in 47 Stat. 
            745. Ratification was completed on January 23, 1933, when 
            the thirty-sixth State approved the amendment, there being 
            then 48 States in the Union. On February 6, 1933, Secretary 
            of State Stimson certified that it had become a part of the 
            Constitution [47 Stat. 2569].
                A proposed amendment which would authorize Congress to 
            limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor of persons under 18 
            years of age was passed by Congress on June 2, 1924. This 
            proposal at the time it was submitted to the States was 
            referred to as ``the proposed 20th Amendment.'' It appears 
            officially in 43 Stat. 670.
                The status of this proposed amendment is a matter of 
            conflicting opinion. The Kentucky Court of Appeals in Wise 
            v. Chandler (270 Ky. 1 [1937]) has held that it is no longer 
            open to ratification because: (1) Rejected by more than one-
            fourth of the States; (2) a State may not reject and then 
            subsequently ratify, at least when more than one-fourth of 
            the States are on record as rejecting; and (3) more than a 
            reasonable time has elapsed since it was submitted to the 
            States in 1924 (for subsequent litigation in the Chandler 
            case see 303 U.S. 634 and 307 U.S. 474). The Kansas Supreme 
            Court in Coleman v. Miller (146 Kan. 390 [1937]) came to the 
            opposite conclusion.
                On October 1, 1937, 27 States had ratified the proposed 
            amendment. Of these States 10 had previously rejected the 
            amendment on one or more occasions. At least 26 different 
            States have at one time rejected the amendment.

            violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
    1741.3      Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it

            Constitution, within seven years from the date of the

            Maine, December 6, 1933; Montana, August 6, 1934. The 
            amendment was rejected by a convention in the State of South 
            Carolina, on December 4, 1933. The electorate of the State 
            of North Carolina voted against holding a convention at a 
            general election held on November 7, 1933.
                \15\The twenty-first amendment was proposed by Congress 
            on February 20, 1933, when it passed the House [76 Cong. 
            Rec. (72d Cong., 2d sess.) 4516], having previously passed 
            the Senate on February 16 [Id., 4231]. It appears officially 
            in 47 Stat. 1625. Ratification was completed on December 5, 
            1933, when the thirty-sixth State (Utah) approved the 
            amendment, there being then 48 States in the Union. On 
            December 5, 1933, Acting Secretary of State Phillips 
            certified that it had been adopted by the requisite number 
            of States [48 Stat. 1749].
      1742                        AMENDMENT [XXII]

    1742.1      Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of 
            the President more than twice, and no person who has held 
            the office of President, or acted as President, for more

            elected President shall be elected to the office of the 
            President more than once. But this Article shall not apply 
            to any person holding the office of President when this 
            Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent 
            any person who may be holding the office of President, or 
            acting as President, during the term within which this 
            Article becomes operative, from holding the office of 
            President or acting as President during the remainder of 
            such term.
    1742.2      Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it 
            shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution 
            by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States 
            within seven years from the date of its submission to the 
            States by the Congress.

            [93 Cong. Rec. (80th Cong., 1st sess.) 2389], having

            equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in 
            Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were

            they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, 
            but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the 
            election of President and Vice President, to be electors 
            appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District

            Hampshire, March 30, 1961 (date in official notice; preceded 
            by ratification on March 29, 1961, which was annulled and 
            then repeated March 29). Arkansas rejected the proposal on 
            January 24, 1961.
                \17\The twenty-third amendment was proposed by Congress 
            on June 16, 1960, when the Senate agreed to S.J. Res. 39, 
            86th Cong., as passed by the House of Representatives on 
            June 14; which action consisted of substituting H.J. Res. 
            757 for the original text of S.J. Res. 39 [106 Cong. Rec. 
            (86th Cong., 2d sess.) 12571]. S.J. Res. 39 as approved by 
            the Senate on February 2, 1960 [106 Cong. Rec. (86th Cong., 
            2d sess.) 12850-58], for the first time since 1789, proposed 
            several unrelated articles of amendment, though several 
            amendments cover several points in sections of an article; 
            as finally proposed it dealt with a single matter. It 
            appears officially in 74 Stat. 1057 under date of June 16, 
            1960. Ratification was completed on March 29, 1961, when the 
            legislature of the thirty-eighth State (Ohio) approved the 
            amendment, there being then fifty States in the Union. The 
            identity of the thirty-eighth State was in doubt until New 
            Hamphire by ``official notice'' determined March 30 as the 
            date of its ratification. On April 3, 1961, the 
            Administrator of General Services, John L. Moore, certified 
            that this amendment had become a part of the Constitution 
            (26 F.R. 2808 and 75 Stat. 847).

      1744                        AMENDMENT [XXIV]

    1744.1      Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to 
            vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice 
            President, for electors for President or Vice President, or 
            for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be 
            denied or abridged by the United States or any State by 
            reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
    1744.2      Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this 
            article by appropriate legislation.
                The twenty-fourth amendment\18\ was ratified by the 
            several State legislatures on the following dates: Illinois,

            House of Representatives his written declaration that he is

            their written declaration that the President is unable to

                        PRESIDENTS PRO TEMPORE OF THE SENATE

             FROM THE FIRST CONGRESS TO THE END OF THE FIRST SESSION OF 
                         THE ONE HUNDRED THIRTEENTH CONGRESS

            ------------------------------------------------------------

            [In earlier years the appointment or election of a President 
                pro tempore was held by the Senate to be for the 
                occasion only, so that more than one appears in several 
                sessions and in others none were chosen. Since Mar. 12, 
                1890, however, they have served until ``the Senate 
                otherwise ordered.'']

                            SENATORS OF THE UNITED STATES

            FROM THE FIRST CONGRESS TO THE END OF THE SECOND SESSION OF 
                         THE ONE HUNDRED THIRTEENTH CONGRESS

            ------------------------------------------------------------

                             CLASSIFICATION OF SENATORS

                Under Article I, section 3, clause 2, of the 
            Constitution of the United States, relating to the 
            classification of Senators in the First and succeeding 
            Congresses, it was provided that, ``Immediately after they 
            shall be assembled in consequence of the first election they 
            shall be divided as equally as may be into three classes. 
            The seats of the Senators of the first class shall be 
            vacated at the expiration of the second year, of the second 
            class at the expiration of the fourth year, and of the third 
            class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that one-third 
            may be chosen every second year.'' The classification of the 
            Senators of the First Congress was made in accordance with 
            this provision by lot. The following table shows the classes 
            to which the Senators of the First Congress, and from States 
            subsequently admitted into the Union, were severally 
            assigned, and the succession in each State to the second 
            session of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress.


                                  TERMS OF SENATORS

                Technically, pursuant to the Twentieth Amendment to the 
            Constitution of the United States, ratified January 23, 
            1933, the terms of Members of the Senate commence at noon on 
            the third day of January and end six years later at noon on 
            the third day of January. In view of the impracticality of 
            dealing with split days, however, it has been the long 
            established practice for payment of salaries, computation of 
            allowances, and recording of service to credit a Member for 
            the full day of the third of January and to consider the 
            term as ended at the close of business on the second of 
            January six years later. Accordingly, the service of Members 
            of the Senate is shown on that basis in the following 
            tables.

\2\The acceptance of the appointment and commission by the appointee, as evidenced by the taking of the
  prescribed oaths, is here implied, otherwise the individual is not carried on this list of the Members of the
  Court. Examples: Robert Hanson Harrison is not carried, as a letter from President Washington of February 9,
  1790, states Harrison declined to serve; neither is Edwin M. Stanton, who died before he could take the
  necessary steps toward becoming a Member of the Court. Chief Justice Rutledge is included because he took his
  oaths and presided over the August term of 1795, his name appearing on two opinions of the Court for that
  term.
\3\Where a Member received two commissions the one entered on the Court's Minutes is here used.
\4\Commissioned July 1, 1795 (during adjournment of Congress); presided at August term, 1795. Nomination
  rejected by the Senate Dec. 15, 1795.

*Indicates representation of new States admitted after the respective decennial census apportionments.
 
Note: The original apportionment of Representatives was established in 1787 by the Constitution. Subsequent apportionments based on the 1st Census through the 6th Census were as follows
  (number of census, date of act, and ratio of persons per Representative): 1st, Apr. 14, 1792, 33,000; 2d, Jan. 14, 1802, 33,000; 3d, Dec. 21, 1811, 35,000; 4th, Mar. 7, 1822, 40,000; 5th,
  May 22, 1832, 47,700; 6th, June 25, 1842, 70,680. Apportionment based on the 7th Census (1850) through the 12th Census (1900) was determined by the Vinton method, and for the 13th Census
  (1910) and 15th Census (1930) the method of major fractions was employed, there being no reapportionment in 1920. Apportionment based on the 16th Census (1940), through the 21st Census
  (1990), was determined by the method of equal proportions, a description of which may be found in S. Doc. 304, 76th Cong., 3d sess.
