       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 4602), making 
     appropriations for the Department of the Interior and Related 
     Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, and 
     for other purposes, submit the following joint statement to 
     the House and the Senate in explanation of the effect of the 
     action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 
     accompanying conference report.
       The conference agreement on H.R. 4602 incorporates some of 
     the provisions of both the House and the Senate versions of 
     the bill. Report language and allocations set forth in either 
     House Report 103-551 or Senate Report 103-294 which are not 
     changed by the conference are approved by the committee of 
     conference. The statement of the managers, while repeating 
     some report language for emphasis, does not negate the 
     language referenced above unless expressly provided herein.


                             land exchanges

       The House report included language in the reprogramming 
     guidelines requiring all land exchanges be submitted to the 
     Committees on Appropriations before implementation. The 
     managers have agreed to delete this requirement for fiscal 
     year 1995 until there has been an opportunity to review the 
     land exchange procedures of the Department of the Interior 
     and the Forest Service.

                  TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                       Bureau of Land Management


                   management of lands and resources

       Amendment No. 1: Appropriates $598,449,000 for management 
     of lands and resources instead of $596,349,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $598,480,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The increase above the amount proposed by the House 
     consists of increases of $100,000 in soil, water, and air 
     management for continuing the playa inventory in New Mexico; 
     $75,000 for noxious weed control in the Miles City District, 
     MT and $100,000 for noxious weed control in the Richfield 
     District, UT, both in range management; $100,000 in cultural 
     resources management for Chacoan Outliers in New Mexico; 
     $75,000 for the Mesa Archeological site, AK and $150,000 for 
     the Baker City Flagstaff Hill Interpretive Center, OR, both 
     in recreation resources management; and $2,500,000 for Alaska 
     conveyance; and a decrease of $1,000,000 in information 
     systems operations.
       The managers agree that the reduction of $500,000 from the 
     budget for land and realty management shall not be taken from 
     funds budgeted for land exchange activity.
       The managers agree that the land exchange pilot project in 
     Douglas County, OR, which was addressed in a Senate floor 
     colloquy, is an innovative approach to achieve ecosystem 
     management objective and encourage cooperative efforts such 
     as this when facing the challenges of ecosystem management on 
     intermingled lands.
       Amendment No. 2: Restates the final appropriation amount 
     for management of lands and resources as $598,449,000 instead 
     of $596,349,000 as proposed by the House and $598,480,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.


                        construction and access

       Amendment No. 3: Appropriates $12,091,000 for construction 
     and access instead of $3,836,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $12,186,000 as proposed by the Senate. The decrease below the 
     amount proposed by the Senate is $95,000 for the Oregon Trail 
     Interpretive Center at Flagstaff Hill, OR.


                            land acquisition

       Amendment No. 4: Appropriates $14,785,000 for land 
     acquisition instead of $17,060,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $12,055,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The managers agree to the following distribution of funds:


        Area                                                     Amount

    Total....................................................14,785,000


                   oregon and california grant lands

       Amendment No. 5: Appropriates $97,550,000 for Oregon and 
     California grant lands instead of $100,860,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $97,383,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     increase above the amount proposed by the Senate restores 
     budgeted funding for the fiscal year 1995 pay increase.


                       administrative provisions

       Amendment No. 6: Allows $100,000 for payments for evidence 
     of violations of law as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $250,000 as proposed by the House.

       There is $250,000 available from the Puget Sound estuary 
     program for salmon restoration activities on Hood Canal.
       The managers are concerned about the illegal international 
     trade in endangered species, particularly in Asia. To raise 
     public awareness of this problem and to enhance the limited 
     funds available for public education and endangered species 
     protection, the managers urge the Fish and Wildlife Service, 
     in cooperation with the National Zoo of the Smithsonian 
     Institution, to study the feasibility of establishing a 
     voluntary donations program at the Zoo associated with its 
     endangered species exhibits. The report should include an 
     estimate of the cost of implementing such a program, how 
     collections would be managed and an analysis of options of 
     how donations could be used to best support the objectives of 
     the Fish and Wildlife Service's ongoing education and law 
     enforcement efforts to control the international trade in 
     endangered species. The report should be submitted to the 
     Committees on Appropriations.
       The managers have concern for the conditions under which 
     captive orangutans and other exotic species are maintained. 
     Every effort should be made to ensure that the law in this 
     regard is enforced aggressively. The Office of Management 
     Authority should promulgate and enforce standards for 
     educational activities involving captive animals to ensure 
     that the only activities which can receive endangered species 
     act permits are those which demonstrate humane care of 
     animals involved and a clear conservation benefit to the 
     species.
       The managers are aware of concern that the Fish and 
     Wildlife Service is undertaking actions which can affect 
     other agencies without undertaking coordination with the 
     affected agencies. The Service should coordinate its 
     resources category designations with affected Federal 
     agencies prior to the designation of any habitat. The intent 
     of such direction is to ensure that such coordination occurs 
     at the earliest stages of the resource category designation 
     process, and to ensure that the Service have available to it 
     as much information as possible before making decisions. 
     While the managers understand the view of the Fish and 
     Wildlife Service that resource category determinations do not 
     represent final separable decisions, the managers understand 
     also that such evaluations are viewed seriously by other 
     Federal agencies and citizens. Therefore, the Service should 
     seek input from affected Federal agencies and give full 
     consideration of the views of those agencies, with the goal 
     of reaching informed, objective decisions which involve sound 
     science and principles, when making resource category 
     determinations.
       The managers have provided increased funding to address the 
     programmatic functions associated with the anticipated 
     completion of the National Education and Training Center in 
     1996. The Department should move expeditiously to establish a 
     field office presence near the project site, and the 
     Department and the Service should assign the necessary 
     staffing resources to accomplish the tasks identified for 
     completion during fiscal year 1995. The managers also expect 
     the Department and Service to consider the operating 
     requirements of the training center when developing the 1996 
     budget. The reporting nature of this office will be further 
     reviewed when the Fish and Wildlife Service submits its 
     reorganization proposal.
       The final year of funding for ATTRA in the Interior 
     Appropriations bill has been transferred from the National 
     Biological Survey to the Service. ATTRA is not a research 
     program and is better suited for this last year in the 
     Service.
       The Fish and Wildlife Service is in the process of 
     reviewing secondary uses on national wildlife refuges to 
     ascertain the compatibility of various uses with the overall 
     purposes for which each refuge was established and the 
     availability of funding for those uses under the provisions 
     of the Refuge Recreation Act. This review has been undertaken 
     in response to settlement of a lawsuit. The Service is also 
     reviewing these uses in light of budgetary constraints. Many 
     refuges have allowed longstanding, or traditional public uses 
     such as wildlife viewing, hunting, fishing, hiking, grazing, 
     group gatherings, and other activities. The managers note 
     that allowing these activities on refuges contributes 
     significantly to local support for refuge establishment, and 
     their continuation will in all likelihood be integral to 
     maintaining continued public support (and funding) for the 
     refuge system.
       The managers direct that current activities be continued 
     unless it can be clearly determined and demonstrated, in a 
     manner available to the public, that such activities are 
     incompatible with refuge purposes under the provisions of law 
     or in violation of other law. No actions to alter 
     significantly or eliminate any activities on refuges should 
     be undertaken without 30-days prior notice to the appropriate 
     oversight committees. The increased funding provided for 
     refuge operations is intended to help address some of the 
     operating requirements or refuges. Eliminating programs 
     because they might be inconvenient to manage is not an 
     option.
       When developing recommendations to alter significantly or 
     eliminate any activities, the Service should consult with 
     interested parties, including but not limited to, State 
     natural resource or wildlife management agencies and local 
     user groups. The Service should advise the appropriate 
     oversight committees as to whether it has determined that 
     individual refuges are not meeting the purposes for which 
     they were established and if so, the alternatives the Service 
     has considered for disposing of such excess refuge system 
     lands, including to those local interests benefiting from 
     their presence. Just as some uses may be costly to manage, so 
     too is it costly to manage lands which are no longer 
     providing the habitat protection or other resource value that 
     was the basis for their being brought into the system. The 
     Service's continuing review of the suitability of existing 
     refuge lands for retention in the refuge system is 
     particularly critical if the Service is to continue 
     evaluating new lands for inclusion in the refuge system. At a 
     time of flat or declining budgets, it will be impossible for 
     the Congress to provide resources to keep pace with the new 
     refuge proposals surfaced by the Service annually.
       Subsequent to the passage of the Interior appropriations 
     act in both the House and Senate, the property associated 
     with Harry Diamond Laboratories was transferred to the U.S. 
     Fish and Wildlife Service. The managers encourage the Service 
     to work closely with the reconstituted Re-Use Committee in 
     developing a plan for future use of the transferred property. 
     The Service should enter into cooperative agreements with the 
     Re-Use Committee or with other private groups to ensure that 
     future operations meet the needs of the local community, 
     provided that operations meet all refuge compatibility 
     requirements.
       Amendment No. 8: Earmarks $3,000,000 for the National Fish 
     and Wildlife Foundation for endangered species activities as 
     proposed by the House instead of $2,500,000 as proposed by 
     the Senate.


                              construction

       Amendment No. 9: Appropriates $53,914,000 for construction

     $49,848,000 as proposed by the Senate.

     acquisition instead of $62,300,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $63,700,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The managers agree to the following distribution of funds:

        Area                                                     Amount

       Of the $5,500,000 provided for the National Fish and 
     Wildlife Foundation, $500,000 is for acquisition of lands 
     within the San Diego County, CA habitat conservation plan. 
     The Foundation will match this amount from private sources so 
     that there will be a total of $1,000,000 available.


               north american wetlands conservation fund

       Amendment No. 11: Appropriates $9,000,000 for the North 
     American Wetlands Conservation Act instead of $12,0000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The House had no similar provision.

                       National Biological Survey


                   research, inventories and surveys

       Amendment No. 12: Appropriates $167,209,000 for Research, 
     inventories, and surveys as proposed by the House instead of 
     $166,358,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The managers agree to the following changes to the House 
     distribution of funds:

Increases:
  Population dynamics (striped bass)...........................$300,000
  Reno biodiversity.............................................744,000
  Facilities Operation & Maintenance............................593,000
Decreases:
  Tactical Research.............................................316,000
  South Florida/Everglades......................................500,000
  Endangered species.............................................71,000
  National Status and Trends....................................250,000
  Information Infrastructure....................................500,000

       Within the increase for Facilities Operation and 
     Maintenance is $300,000 to establish a Hawaii program 
     management office. The House had earmarked this money in 
     administration and the Senate had earmarked it within 
     inventory and monitoring.
       No specific dollar amount is identified to continue 
     monitoring the marsh restoration project at Metzger Marsh at 
     the Ottawa NWR, OH. The managers do expect the Biological 
     Survey to continue its work in this regard.
       Amendment No. 13: Earmarks $166,909,000 to remain available 
     until September 30, 1996 as proposed by the House instead of 
     $166,058,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                         National Park Service


                 operation of the national park system

       Amendment No. 14: Appropriates $1,079,963,000 for Operation 
     of the National Park System instead of $1,083,973,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $1,061,276,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Changes to the House distribution of funds are as follows:

Increases:
  D.C. Water and Sewer Payments................................$934,000
  Phoenix Indian School.........................................350,000
Decreases:
  Professionalization...........................................500,000
  Inventory and monitoring......................................450,000
  GIS Tech Support............................................1,100,000
  South Florida/Everglades......................................444,000
  Equipment Replacement.......................................1,000,000
  Fee Collection..............................................1,300,000
  Travel........................................................500,000

       The managers agree to the following:
       1. Of the $1,500,000 provided for professionalization, 
     $1,000,000 is for natural resource professionalization and 
     $500,000 is for cultural resource professionalization.
       2. Support for solving zebra mussel problems at St. Croix 
     NSR, WI/MN is to continue in fiscal year 1995.
       3. Additional security needs at Jefferson Expansion NMEM 
     resulting from establishment of nearby gambling facilities 
     should not be the responsibility of the National Park 
     Service. Other continuing unmet security needs may be 
     provided through the increases included.
       4. Money budgeted for fee collection is to be used for 
     costs associated with conversion of temporary employees as is 
     the $800,000 provided by the House for training and career 
     management.
       5. The $500,000 reduction in travel is to be taken from the 
     regional and Washington offices.
       6. The increased funding provided for park operations in 
     the various budget activities is to be allocated consistent 
     with the regional priorities identified by the National Park 
     Service and presented to the Committees for review in 
     conjunction with action on the fiscal year 1995 bill, and as 
     specified in the House and Senate reports. Operational costs 
     not anticipated at the time the budget was submitted should 
     be addressed through a reprogramming, including funding for 
     the California Desert and Fort Wadsworth.
       The managers are aware that efforts by the Ellis Island 
     Restoration Commission to secure funding support for the 
     establishment of a computerized Family History and 
     Genealogical Research Center have not been successful. The 
     managers urge the National Park Service and the Department of 
     the Interior, and other interested parties such as the Ellis 
     Island Foundation, to make every effort to assist in this 
     worthy endeavor. Establishment and installation of a 
     computerized genealogical database at Ellis Island would 
     enable visitors, many of whose ancestors passed through Ellis 
     Island, to increase their knowledge of the immigration 
     experience.
       Amendment No. 15: Deletes House language which proposed 
     that fees be used for resource stewardship programs and makes 
     the money available for all authorized park purposes 
     including resource stewardship.


                  national recreation and preservation

       Amendment No. 16: Appropriates $43,023,000 for National 
     Recreation and Preservation instead of $36,946,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $44,128,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Changes to the Senate position include the following:

Increases:
  Rivers and Trails Conservation assistance....................$200,000
  Muscle Shoals HABS/HAER project...............................100,000
  Mexican Affairs Office........................................250,000
  Ice Age National Scientific Reserve...........................250,000
  Pay cost absorption............................................58,000
Decreases:
  National Center for Historic Preservation.....................955,000
  Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Comm........................75,000
  Native Hawaiian Culture and Arts Program......................233,000
  Quinebaug-Shetucket NHC Commission............................200,000
  Kansas historic military forts................................500,000

       No money is set aside for a formal special resource study 
     of Fort Meigs, Fort Miamis and Fallen Timbers. The $400,000 
     provided for Kansas historic military forts is for technical 
     assistance only.
       Funds provided for the Wheeling Heritage Area are to be 
     used in accordance with the terms provided for in the 
     authorizing legislation as reported by the House Natural 
     Resources Committee or under the terms of subsequent 
     legislation.
       Within the amounts provided for natural programs, the 
     managers agree that $200,000 is to be provided for the Back 
     to the River, NE project. This project involves greenways and 
     other open space initiatives, as well as environmental 
     education, along the Missouri River. The managers expect the 
     partners involved with the development of the plan for this 
     project to assist with future funding. As with many projects 
     throughout the bill, budget constraints preclude funding 
     conceptual plans in their entirety, even though this might be 
     desirable.
       Up to $75,000 of the $150,000 provided by the managers for 
     the El Camino Real Para Los Texas study may be made available 
     to initiate the general management plan and for other costs 
     associated with the Cane River Creole National Historical 
     Park, contingent upon enactment of authorizing legislation.


                       historic preservation fund

       Amendment No. 17: Appropriates $41,500,000 for the Historic 
     Preservation Fund instead of $41,000,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $42,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Amendment No. 18: Deletes Senate amendment which earmarks 
     $2,000,000 for a grant program to restore and preserve 
     historic buildings at historically black colleges and 
     universities and makes the program subject to authorization.
       The managers have provided $1,500,000 to initiate this 
     program as provided in Amendment No. 17. The managers have 
     agreed to delete the subject to authorization language 
     because authorization already exists; however, the grant 
     program should not be undertaken until the 103rd Congress has 
     had an opportunity to consider specific new authorities. If 
     new legislation is not enacted, then the existing authority 
     is to be used.
       Unless directed otherwise by law, funds provided for the 
     historically black colleges and universities initiative 
     should be allocated in accordance with the priority list 
     established by the HBCU condition assessments completed by 
     the National Park Service in 1991.


                              construction

       Amendment No. 19: Appropriates $184,941,000 for 
     construction instead of $171,417,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $170,503,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The managers agree to the following distribution of funds:

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

       The managers agree to the following:
       1. Construction of the road relocation at Chickamauga-
     Chattanooga NMP should not proceed until all the funding is 
     in place.
       2. Obligation of funds for the rehabilitation of the 
     Kennesaw NBP visitor center is not to proceed until the 
     $300,000 in private donations is available.
       3. Obligation of the National Trails Center money is not to 
     proceed until clear title of ownership of the land by the 
     National Park Service is assured.
       4. If private fundraising is sufficient to meet the 
     matching requirements at Andersonville, the National Park 
     Service is to submit a reprogramming to the Committees on 
     Appropriations in fiscal year 1995 to award the project. The 
     reprogramming will be replenished in fiscal year 1996.
       5. The $500,000 for the Lackawanna Heritage Valley 
     authority is for technical assistance and development of the 
     LAVA Plan. None of the funds are to be used for operations.
       6. The money provided for Fisher Peak is contingent upon 
     assumption of operating costs by a non-Park Service entity.
       7. The managers have provided funding for the ongoing 
     planning in the Cumberland area of the Chesapeake and Ohio 
     Canal National Historical Park. This project involves a 
     number of partners, including other Federal agencies, the 
     State of Maryland, and private interests. The National Park 
     Service should be mindful of the budget constraints of the 
     coming years when participating in this planning process and 
     determining the scope of the project. Large appropriations, 
     such as contemplated in the 1991 Canal Parkway Development 
     Study, may not be possible. Funding for flood control aspects 
     of this effort should be sought through the Corps of 
     Engineers.
       8. The $300,000 in planning for the Assateague National 
     Seashore is to be used by the Corps of Engineers to begin a 
     feasibility study to determine the best way to restore and 
     stabilize Assateague Island National Seashore. In developing 
     its plan the Corps is requested to work with the U.S. 
     Geological Survey and utilize its expertise in coastal 
     erosion processes.
       The managers have included $910,000 for site preparation 
     for an administrative headquarters site for the Blue Ridge 
     Parkway. The Service is to scale back the administrative 
     headquarters from the currently envisioned 17,000 square 
     foot, $8,700,000 facility. None of the funds provided are to 
     be used for a visitor center or cultural center which could 
     also fit on this site.
       The managers have provided funding for the vessel 
     ``Friendship'' at Salem Maritime NHS, contingent on 25 
     percent cost-sharing being raised by non-Federal sources. The 
     Park Service is not to proceed to award the contract for this 
     project until the local cost-sharing is available. The 
     funding provided in the Senate bill has been reduced by 25 
     percent to reflect this agreement. The funding provided in 
     the Senate bill for technical assistance and educational 
     outreach ($300,000) is continued.
       Amendment No. 20: Restores House language deriving $256,000 
     for the William McKinley Tomb from the Historic Preservation 
     Fund; derives $500,000 for the Penn Center from the Historic 
     Preservation Fund instead of $1,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate; and allows for a single procurement for the 
     construction of a vessel exhibit at Salem Maritime NHS, MA as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       Amendment No. 21: Deletes Senate provision requiring the 
     National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
     to undertake comprehensive reviews of each unit of the 
     National Park System and the National Wildlife Refuge system 
     and report to the appropriate committees of Congress 
     recommendations to delete no fewer than five park units and 
     five refuges.
       The managers are aware of authorizing legislation which is 
     currently under consideration to accomplish this same goal 
     with respect to National Park units and believe that 
     legislation is the appropriate way to address the issue.
       With respect to the National Wildlife Refuge system, it is 
     currently being reviewed in an effort to achieve budget 
     savings and to reduce or eliminate activities incompatible 
     with refuge purposes. The managers agree that this effort 
     could and should lead to recommendations to eliminate parts 
     of some refuges or entire refuges, where appropriate.


                     urban park and recreation fund

       Amendment No. 22: Appropriates $7,500,000 for the Urban 
     Park fund instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $5,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.


                 land acquisition and state assistance

       Amendment No. 23: Appropriates $87,936,000 for land 
     acquisition and state assistance instead of $88,596,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $80,759,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       The managers agree to the following distribution of funds:

        Area:                                                    Amount

      Subtotal, Federal......................................59,936,000
                                                       ================

      Grand total............................................87,936,000

       The managers agree that for Stones River National 
     Battlefield, any excess land acquisition funds which have 
     been appropriated for the historic river trail should be made 
     available for general battlefield land acquisition, and vice 
     versa should there be a shortfall in the river trail land 
     acquisition account.
       Amendment No. 24: Earmarks $4,800,000 for Federal 
     assistance to the State of Florida pursuant to Public Law 
     103-219 as proposed by the Senate. The House had no similar 
     provision.
       Amendment No. 25: Earmarks $28,000,000 for the State 
     assistance program as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $29,500,000 as proposed by the House.


                       administrative provisions

       Amendment No. 26: Cites 106 Stat. 1384 as proposed by the 
     Senate instead of 106 Stat. 1386 as proposed by the House.
       Amendment No. 27: Proposes limiting to $250,000 the amount 
     that can be transferred to cover costs associated with each 
     emergency law enforcement incident. If an incident will 
     require more than $250,000, the National Park Service is to 
     follow the normal reprogramming guidelines. The House had 
     proposed an overall cap of $500,000 and the Senate had 
     proposed a cap of $250,000.
       Amendment No. 28: Requires that any exercise of law 
     enforcement transfer authority must be followed by a 
     supplemental appropriation request to replenish the money 
     transferred, as proposed by the Senate. The House had no 
     similar provision.
       Amendment No. 29: Deletes Senate amendment regarding the 
     Stampede Creek Mine at Denali National Park in Alaska. The 
     managers agree that should the University of Alaska Fairbanks 
     seek damages for an explosion which occurred on April 30, 
     1987, the damage claim should be submitted to and considered 
     promptly by the Department of the Interior's Office of 
     Hearings and Appeals.

                    United States Geological Survey


                 surveys, investigations, and research

       Amendment No. 30: Appropriates $572,556,000 for surveys, 
     investigations, and research instead of $576,775,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $565,316,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The net decrease below the amount proposed by the 
     House consists of an increase of $1,561,000 for water 
     resources research institutes; and decreases of $2,000,000 in 
     National map and digital data production and $3,780,000 in 
     critical ecosystems.
       The managers agree that the amount for water resources 
     research institutes consists of grants, reduced to $80,000 
     per institute, ($4,320,000) and administrative expenses 
     ($241,000). The managers further agree that the Survey should 
     work with the Institutes to ensure the relevancy of Institute 
     research to State and National issues and to examine ways to 
     introduce competition into the distribution of Federal funds 
     among Institutes beginning in fiscal year 1996.
       The managers also expect the Department to include with its 
     fiscal year 1996 budget submission a report which identifies 
     specific options for integrating the expertise available 
     through the water resources research institutes into the full 
     range of the Department's water resources programs. In 
     addition, the Secretary shall consult and coordinate with the 
     heads of appropriate departments and agencies with water 
     research requirements to ensure the utilization of the water 
     resources research expertise and capabilities of the 
     institutes to the extent feasible.
       The managers agree that the remaining critical ecosystems 
     amounts are $3,800,000 for South Florida and $1,250,000 for 
     San Francisco Bay.


                          working capital fund

       Amendment No. 31: The amendment corrects punctuation 
     contained in the House-passed bill as proposed by the Senate.

                      Minerals Management Service


                royalty and offshore minerals management

       Amendment No. 32: Appropriates $189,056,000 for royalty and 
     offshore minerals management instead of $190,206,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $189,034,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The changes to the House position include increases 
     of $500,000 in the leasing and environmental program for 
     environmental studies and $440,000 in the resource evaluation 
     program for the Office of Management Support. Decreases to 
     the House position include $1,400,000 for the technical 
     information management system in the information management 
     program, $250,000 for mineral revenue audits, and $440,000 
     for the Office of Management Support including reductions of 
     $23,000 in the leasing and environmental program, $67,000 in 
     the regulatory program, and $350,000 in the information 
     management program. The decrease for the technical 
     information management system is offset through the use of 
     increased receipts as discussed in Amendment No. 34.
       The managers expect that:
       1. The environmental studies program will be weighted 
     heavily toward the Gulf of Mexico region where the vast 
     majority of OCS activity takes place;
       2. The fiscal year 1996 budget justification and each 
     subsequent budget will include a full explanation and 
     accounting of the Office of Management Support and any other 
     administrative offices within MMS; and
       3. The Department will review carefully the MMS 
     environmental studies program to ensure that, when the U.S. 
     Geological Survey has the expertise to conduct a proposed 
     study, the cost effectiveness of using the USGS is assessed 
     thoroughly before outside contracting options are pursued.
       Amendment No. 33: Earmarks $68,184,000 for royalty 
     management activities instead of $68,434,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $67,934,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Amendment No. 34: Provides for $8,800,000 in additional 
     receipts to be used for the technical information management 
     system as proposed by the Senate instead of $7,400,000 as 
     proposed by the House.

                            Bureau of Mines


                           mines and minerals

       Amendment No. 35: Appropriates $152,719,000 for mines and 
     minerals instead of $152,269,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $152,389,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Changes to the House position include increases in health, 
     safety and mining technology research of $200,000 for the 
     Casa Grande, AZ in situ copper leaching demonstration project 
     and $500,000 for in-house in situ research, and a decrease of 
     $250,000 in the information and analysis program for the 
     Great Lakes recycling project.
       The managers understand that the Bureau will maintain a 
     small staff of up to 10 FTEs, including summer employees, in 
     Anchorage, Alaska to ensure continuation of essential Arctic 
     research. The managers also understand that up to 25 FTEs 
     will remain at the Rolla, Missouri research center in fiscal 
     year 1995 and that necessary equipment will remain in place 
     at the Rolla Center during the transition period for closure 
     of the center. The managers do not object to the transfer of 
     equipment along with the programs that equipment supports as 
     the transition proceeds in Rolla and at the other locations 
     identified for closure.
       The managers expect the Bureau to ensure that the 
     headquarters component bears its fair share of funding and 
     staffing reductions in fiscal year 1995. Further, the Bureau 
     should actively pursue reimbursable agreements to minimize 
     staffing disruptions in field locations such as in the Denver 
     area.
       The managers expect the Bureau of Mines to work closely 
     with the Bureau of Land Management to develop an 
     Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) related to the Midnite 
     Mine in Spokane, WA. The Department should seek additional 
     Federal funding if necessary to develop the EIS.
       Amendment No. 36: Earmarks $100,065,000 to remain available 
     until expended for research programs instead of $99,365,000 
     as proposed by the House and $100,265,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.

          Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement


                       Regulation and Technology

       Amendment No. 37: Appropriates $110,006,000 for regulation 
     and technology instead of $110,206,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $109,773,000 as proposed by the Senate. The change 
     to the House position is a decrease of $200,000 in the 
     assessments and collections program for the Applicant 
     Violator System.
       The managers commend the OSM on its efforts to address acid 
     mine drainage problems. In pursing this initiative the OSM 
     should comply carefully with the Surface Mining Control and 
     Reclamation Act and with Federal rulemaking requirements. A 
     wide range of alternatives should continue to be considered 
     to reduce pollutants during mining and to prevent post mining 
     discharge of polluted water, including mitigation and 
     treatment to reduce pollutants that may be present before 
     final discharge off the mine permit area.
       Implementation of the Applicant Violator System (AVS) by 
     each State regulatory program has been funded through annual 
     appropriations for the last several years. The managers 
     expect the OSM and the States to continue to cooperate on AVS 
     and to ensure that data improvements and system enhancements 
     are implemented. To work, the AVS must contain up-to-date 
     information supplied by each State and by OSM. The OSM should 
     consult with the States on needed AVS enhancements and should 
     request funds for implementing those improvements in annual 
     budget requests. The AVS is especially important for across-
     State checking; that is, identifying companies and violators 
     who have outstanding violations in different States. The 
     States must actively participate in data entry and checking 
     for outstanding violations so that all violations connected 
     through ownership and control are addressed prior to permit 
     issuance. The managers expect OSM to identify any problems 
     with AVS implementation by the States in the fiscal year 1996 
     budget justification, along with recommendations for 
     addressing those problems.


                    Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund

       Amendment No. 38: Appropriates $182,772,000 for the 
     abandoned mine reclamation fund instead of $172,404,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $193,831,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Increases to the House position include $5,000,000 to 
     fund minimum program States at the $1,500,000 level per State 
     and $5,368,000 for the rural abandoned mine program.
       With respect to the Applicant Violator System, the managers 
     agree that active participation by State regulatory agencies 
     in data entry and checking for outstanding violations prior 
     to issuing permits is essential to ensure compliance with 
     existing law and regulations. This issue is discussed in more 
     detail under Amendment No. 37.
       Amendment No. 39: Earmarks $1,500,000 for each minimum 
     program State for abandoned mine reclamation instead of 
     $1,000,000 as proposed by the House and $2,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       Amendment No. 40: Strike the word ``Federal'' in reference 
     to the use of emergency program funds carried over from 
     previous fiscal years as proposed by the Senate. Prior year 
     unobligated balances are available for use by the OSM in the 
     Federally-run program as well as by the individual States 
     that managed their own emergency reclamation programs.

                        Bureau of Indian Affairs


                      operation of indian programs

       Amendment No. 41: Appropriates $1,526,778,000 for operation 
     of Indian programs instead of $1,527,786,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $1,525,399,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     decrease from the amount proposed by the House consists of 
     decreases of $17,123,000 for tribal priority allocations, 
     $1,661,000 for nonrecurring programs, and $100,000 for 
     special programs and pooled overhead for special higher 
     education scholarships. These decreases are offset partially 
     by increased of $16,971,000 for other recurring programs, 
     $605,000 for Central Office operations, and $300,000 to 
     restore partially general administration for Area Office 
     operations.
       For tribal priority allocations, the managers have not 
     agreed to the transfer of non-educational facilities 
     operations and maintenance from other recurring programs at 
     this time. For non-recurring programs, there are the 
     following decreases: $961,000 for business development 
     grants, $200,000 for Cheyenne River Sioux prairie dog 
     management (leaving $1,000,000), and $500,000 for water 
     rights negotiation/litigation.
       Within other recurring programs, the net increase of 
     $16,971,000 consists of the $17,123,000 restoration for 
     facilities operations and maintenance, and decreases of 
     $34,000 for the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife 
     Commission, $20,000 for the Mole Lake Tribe mining impacts, 
     and $98,000 for the Lake Roosevelt water quality study. 
     Within Central Office operations, the net increase consists 
     of increases of $200,000 for lands records management, 
     $205,000 for personal property management, $200,000 for 
     records management, $200,000 for financial management, and 
     $150,000 for the Office of Data Systems; and a decrease of 
     $350,000 for education program management. The Bureau may 
     fund activities reduced in the Central Office from base funds 
     and report to the Committees on any funds used.
       The managers emphasize to the Bureau that any directives in 
     either the House or Senate report which are not modified 
     herein remain in effect, and the Bureau is expected to follow 
     or respond to all such directives, in the timeframe 
     indicated.
       With regard to the road maintenance funds which have been 
     transferred to tribal priority allocations, the managers 
     expect these funds to be distributed as in the past during 
     fiscal year 1995, while the Bureau prepares a Federal 
     Register notice with the proposal for allocating the funds to 
     tribal bases. The notice should also address how priorities 
     for the use of these funds, in accordance with Federal 
     Highway Trust Fund requirements, will be maintained after 
     distribution to the tribes. The managers agree that no change 
     in the distribution of these funds will occur until these 
     issues are resolves satisfactorily, and expect the Bureau to 
     work closely with the tribes to reach such a resolution.
       With regard to the self-governance program, the managers 
     agree that the Bureau should prepare the report identified by 
     the Senate on workload before and after self-governance, and 
     submit it to the Committees by March 15, 1995. With regard to 
     increased workload at the Central Office due to compacting, 
     the report should distinguish that portion of any such 
     increased workload that should be handled by the Office of 
     Self-Governance rather than the Bureau. With regard to 
     impacts on non-compacting tribes, the managers note that the 
     law authorizing the self-governance program does not allow 
     such a result, and provides any tribe alleging violation of 
     the law appropriate legal relief. The report should address 
     the Bureau's efforts to ensure that noncompacting tribes are 
     not impacted by the self-governance program.
       The managers agree that the Bureau should continue to 
     identify the Secretary's trust and inherently Federal 
     responsibilities, with a range of assumptions over time up to 
     a possible level of 100 percent compacting, and expect this 
     process should be carried out in the context of the five-year 
     strategic plan and consistent with authorizing legislation. 
     The managers note that this process should be continued with 
     the direct participation of the tribes, and consistent with 
     the definition that the Bureau and the tribes have been using 
     to date. The managers also expect the Bureau to work with the 
     self-governance tribes to reach a consensus on the definition 
     of stable base funding, and how such funding will be provided 
     as early in the year as possible, report the results to the 
     Appropriations Committees, and implement them as soon 
     thereafter as possible.
       With regard to shortfall funds, these funds should be used 
     as identified in the House report, but also may be used for 
     the special purposes identified in past years, such as the 
     Lummi education project. While agreeing not to place a 
     timeframe on the use of these funds at this time, the 
     managers will address this issue again as necessary, 
     depending on the progress made on negotiating and reaching 
     consensus with the tribes on the matters addressed in this 
     report.
       The managers expect the Department and the Bureau to 
     include their findings on the Secretary's trust and 
     inherently Federal responsibilities in the March 15 report. 
     Based on the findings, the Bureau should describe how it 
     plans to downsize and restructure the Central, Area and 
     agency offices, consistent with assumptions regarding the 
     level of self-governance compacting and contracting which is 
     expected to occur. The Bureau should also describe how it 
     plans to identify and negotiate tribal shares during fiscal 
     year 1995.
       With regard to the reconciliation of Individual Indian 
     Money (IIM) accounts, as directed in the past, the Department 
     should not proceed any further with developing an IIM 
     reconciliation approach unless it has involved the 
     Intertribal Monitoring Association and other account holders' 
     representatives in this process.
       The managers expect the Bureau to give consideration to a 
     request for $250,000 for attorneys' fees from the Alaska 
     Legal Services. Within the $800,000 provided for monitoring 
     and enhancement of the salmon returns in the Yukon and 
     Kuskokwim Rivers areas, the Bureau may provide $400,000 for 
     these funds to the Bering Sea Fishermen's Association for 
     monitoring and fisheries enhancement. The managers agree 
     there is $250,000 for the Yurok Tribe's cadastral survey. 
     Within the $375,000 earmarked by both the House and Senate 
     for Arkansas Riverbed surveys, $200,000 may be made available 
     to the Arkansas Riverbed Authority for its operations. The 
     managers understand that funding is available within water 
     rights negotiation/litigation to continue the Pyramid Lake/
     Fallon economic development plan, which includes the Newlands 
     project.
       The managers expect the Bureau to continue to fund the 
     Intertribal Monitoring Association (ITMA) in fiscal year 1995 
     at a level which will allow ITMA to continue its role of 
     monitoring and reporting to tribes, account holders and the 
     Congress. There should be no reductions to ITMA funding 
     unless such reductions are specifically related to changes in 
     work mutually agreed upon to be accomplished under the 
     contract. The managers also expect that there will be no 
     changes in the manner of ITMA communications with tribes, 
     account holders or the Congress unless mutually agreed upon.
       Amendment No. 42: Provides $208,000 for cyclical 
     maintenance of tribally owned fish hatcheries as proposed by 
     the Senate instead of $199,000 as proposed by the House.
       Amendment No. 43: Modified language proposed by the Senate 
     to place a cap on the amount of funding to be made available 
     for fiscal year 1995 and to separate the amount of contract 
     support for ongoing self-determination agreements entered 
     into prior to fiscal year 1995 from that provided for new 
     awards first entered into during fiscal year 1995. The House 
     had no similar provision. The purpose of separating the 
     amount available for ongoing agreements from that for new and 
     expanded agreements is to stabilize the fund for ongoing 
     awards and still provide contract support funding for new and 
     expanded contracts. The Bureau is expected to implement 
     procedures for administering the new Indian Self-
     Determination Fund, for which $7,500,000 is provided, 
     consistent with those of the Indian Health Service. The 
     Bureau should fund new contracts at the 100 percent level.
       The Bureau is expected to begin developing procedures for 
     eventual transfer of contract support into each tribe's 
     tribal priority allocation. Once this has been accomplished, 
     the tribes will be able to manage their total program costs 
     within their overall funding allocation.
       The cap is not intended to limit the flexibility of tribes 
     to reprogram within tribal priority allocations to obtain 
     full recovery of indirect costs, if a shortfall in contract 
     support were to occur. Accordingly, the managers anticipate 
     that tribes, individually or in agreement with other tribes, 
     may reprogram within tribal priority allocations without 
     regard to the contract support ceiling. Reprogramming on a 
     Bureau-wide basis is not authorized for this purpose.
       Amendment No. 44: Provides $72,580,000 for higher education 
     scholarships and other purposes as proposed by the Senate 
     instead of $72,680,000 as proposed by the House.
       Amendment No. 45: Provides that $75,902,000 will remain 
     available until expended as proposed by the House instead of 
     $75,735,000 as proposed by the Senate. The difference is 
     $167,000 for the Lake Roosevelt ferry under road maintenance.
       Amendment No. 46: Provides that $30,169,000 for road 
     maintenance will remain available until expended as proposed 
     by the House instead of $30,002,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Amendment No. 47: Changes the date by which payments to 
     Bureau-funded schools must be made to not later than July 15 
     instead of July 1 as proposed by the House and July 31 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The managers expect the Bureau to 
     accomplish all the preliminary paperwork well in advance of 
     July 1, in order to allow the schools adequate time to return 
     the documents to the Bureau prior to July 1. The schools are 
     also expected to make every effort to return all required 
     documents before July 1, so that obligation and payment of 
     the funds may proceed as soon thereafter as possible.
       Amendment No. 48: Revises language proposed by the Senate 
     regarding allocation of Indian school equalization program 
     (ISEP) funds, to require the Secretary of the Interior to 
     establish a Joint Working Group on ISEP Funds Allocation to 
     examine possible methods of improving the basis on which ISEP 
     funds are allocated each year. The House had no similar 
     provision. The Working Group should include representatives 
     from BIA, the Department, the Department of Education, 
     national Indian education groups, and individual schools, 
     both BIA and tribally operated, and should represent the 
     widest possible spectrum of views on this issue, as well as 
     balanced geographic representation. To the extent possible, a 
     variety of schools should be represented, including day, 
     boarding and dorm schools, as well as remote schools and 
     those adjacent to public facilities. The Working Group should 
     be formed immediately and should complete its work by 
     submitting a report to Congress no later than April 30, 1995. 
     The report should include specific recommendations for 
     changing the allocation method. The Working Group should 
     conduct the widest possible consultation with tribes and 
     Indian schools as part of its process.
       Amendment No. 49: Limits the number of schools to be funded 
     by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the next two fiscal years 
     to the number in the Bureau system as of September 1, 1995, 
     or 187 instead of permanently as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House had no similar provision. The managers are very 
     concerned that current legislation and regulations do not 
     provide an adequate framework for making decisions regarding 
     under what circumstances additional schools should be allowed 
     into the Bureau system. The managers are also concerned about 
     the potential for large increases in the number of schools to 
     be funded at a time when the budget for the schools will not 
     be able to be increased significantly. Therefore, the 
     managers expect the Bureau and the Department to proceed as 
     quickly as possible to work with tribes, schools and the 
     authorizing committees to develop legislation and related 
     regulations which will more adequately address this 
     situation. The managers will review the status of this effort 
     at the end of the two year period in order to determine if 
     this language should be continued and possibly made 
     permanent.


                              construction

       Amendment No. 50: Appropriates $130,270,000 for 
     construction instead of $131,030,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $123,230,000 as proposed by the Senate. The decrease 
     below the amount proposed by the House consists of increases 
     of $100,000 for contract support, $1,500,000 for the Colorado 
     River Tribes irrigation project, $350,000 for the Hogback 
     irrigation project, $750,000 for the Walker River irrigation 
     project, and $100,000 for Washoe land acquisition; and a 
     decrease of $3,560,000 for the following irrigation projects: 
     $1,300,000 for the Navajo Indian project, $1,000,000 for Ute 
     Mountain Ute, $250,000 for Fort Belknap (Milk River), 
     $600,000 for San Carlos, $200,000 for Quechan, 
     $210,000 for Jemez Pueblo.
       Of the amount provided for the Walker River project, 
     $250,000 shall be used only for the tribal cost share of 
     water monitoring by the U.S. Geological Survey. The managers 
     understand this is the final year of construction costs 
     related to this requirement.
       The managers agree that the BIA and the Bureau of 
     Reclamation should complete a new Memorandum of Agreement, 
     and should ensure that any administrative costs to be taken 
     from safety of dams projects are held to a minimum. The 
     managers agree that the BIA should submit the report 
     requested by the Senate on fuel storage tanks in AK by 10/1/
     94, and based on the findings, should consider including 
     funding in the 1996 budget request.
       Amendment No. 51: Allows funds available for irrigation 
     rehabilitation and construction on the Gila River reservation 
     to be used to purchase and pump water in 1995 as proposed by 
     the Senate. The House had no similar provision.
       The managers understand that this authority would be used 
     only if the level of the San Carlos Reservoir is below 
     400,000 acre-feet as of March 1, 1995.
       Amendment No. 52: Revises language proposed by the Senate 
     to provide temporary authority for facilities improvement and 
     repair and construction projects in excess of $100,000 that 
     are provided to tribally controlled grant schools under P.L. 
     100-297, as amended. The House had no similar provision. 
     Under this language, 43 CFR Part 12 will be used for 
     regulatory requirements, except for Section 12.61. Payment 
     schedules are to be negotiated between the Secretary and the 
     grantee. This authorization is intended as an interim measure 
     for grant amendments negotiated in fiscal year 1995 only. 
     Although the Department has conducted tribal consultation on 
     the grant process for facilities improvement and repair and 
     construction and the use of 43 CFR Part 12, the managers 
     expect the Secretary to consult further with Indian tribes on 
     a permanent implementation process, and based on the 
     consultation, to submit recommendations to the appropriate 
     Committees of the Congress for any necessary statutory 
     amendments.


 indian land and water claim settlements and miscellaneous payments to 
                                indians

       Amendment No. 53: Appropriates $77,096,000 for Indian land 
     and water claim settlements as proposed by the Senate instead 
     of $82,896,000 as proposed by the House.
       Amendment No. 54: Provides $73,051,000 for implementation 
     of settlements as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $78,851,000 as proposed by the House.


                    navajo rehabilitation trust fund

       Amendment No. 55: Appropriates $2,000,000 for the Navajo 
     Rehabilitation Trust Fund instead of no funds as proposed by 
     the House and $2,466,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                 Territorial and International Affairs


                     Administration of Territories

       Amendment No. 56: Appropriates $80,239,000 for 
     Administration of Territories instead of $83,139,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $77,339,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The decrease from the amount proposed by the House 
     consists of decreases of $1,500,000 for the Compact impact 
     grant to Guam, $1,000,000 for a grant to the Virgin Islands 
     for crime control, and $500,000 for technical assistance; and 
     an increase of $100,000 for the Office of Territorial and 
     International Affairs.
       The managers have provided $2,500,000 for the impact of the 
     Compact on Guam, and expect the Commonwealth of the Northern 
     Marinana Islands (CNMI) to use $1,600,000 of their grant 
     funds for the same purpose.
       The managers do not object to the use of construction funds 
     provided herein or previously (with the exception of water 
     and wastewater project funds) to address the needs of Tafuna 
     high school, if agreed to by the American Samoa Government.
       The managers agree that up to $7,000,000 of the Northern 
     Marianas grant may be used, by the Secretary of the Interior 
     working with the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas 
     (CNMI), for technical and other assistance to the CNMI to 
     help track and identify alien workers, to enforce applicable 
     immigration laws in the CNMI, and to provide technical 
     assistance to the CNMI in developing related labor rules and 
     regulations for alien workers. The funds may also be used, 
     with the assistance of the U.S. Immigration and 
     Naturalization Service, to develop a computer data base and 
     identification system for aliens, and if appropriate, for 
     planning of detention facilities.
       Amendment No. 57: Provides $75,962,000 for grants and 
     technical assistance instead of $78,962,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $72,962,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     decreases from the amount proposed by the House are discussed 
     under Amendment No. 56.
       Amendment No. 58: Provides $4,277,000 for the Office of 
     Territorial and International Affairs instead of $4,177,000 
     as proposed by the House and $4,377,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Amendment No. 59: Provides that the General Accounting 
     Office may audit the territorial governments as proposed by 
     the Senate rather than directing that it shall audit those 
     governments, as proposed by the House.
       Amendment No. 60: Provides that the General Accounting 
     Office may audit the territorial governments at its 
     discretion as proposed by the Senate. The House did not 
     include discretionary language.


                 Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands

       Amendment No. 61: Appropriates $19,838,000 for the Trust 
     Territory, including $18,464,000 for grants to Palau and 
     $692,000 for special programs, and adds language, instead of 
     appropriating $2,900,000 as proposed by the House. The 
     managers intend for Palau to use $2,000,000 of the grant 
     funds to continue the Koror sewage treatment project, with 
     the balance of the project funds to come from Palau's Compact 
     funds. It is necessary to restore the Trust Territory funds 
     to the 1994 level and add related language since the Palau 
     Compact will not be implemented prior to October 1, 1994 as 
     originally estimated. The Senate language agreed to by the 
     managers also provides that the General Accounting Office may 
     at its discretion audit the Trust Territory.


                      compact of free association

       Amendment No. 62: Appropriates $24,602,000 for the Compact 
     of Free Association instead of $25,102,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $20,602,000 as proposed by the Senate. The decrease 
     from the amount proposed by the House consists of $500,000 
     for the Federated States of Micronesia for the Yap runway, 
     and $2,656,000 for the Palau Compact. The Palau Compact funds 
     have been deleted, and funds for Palau operations and 
     construction grants restored under the Trust Territory 
     account, since it is now expected that the Palau Compact will 
     not be implemented before October 1, 1994 as originally 
     assumed.
       With regard to the funds provided as compensation to the 
     Marshall Islands under Section 111(d) of the Compact, the 
     managers agree with the House language requiring a plan for 
     the expenditure of these funds, to be submitted to the 
     Appropriations Committees. The managers also request that a 
     report on the use of the economic development funds 
     previously provided to the Marshall Islands be provided to 
     the Committees.
       The managers agree that there is no commitment at this time 
     to future appropriations under Section 111(d) and that any 
     such funding decisions will be made on an annual basis. The 
     managers note that the Administration has taken one position 
     on whether the authorization in Section 111(d) is based on a 
     ``net loss'' to the RMI Government, the House has disagreed 
     with that position in its report (Report 103-551), and the 
     Senate has not yet taken a position on that issue.
       Amendment No. 63: Deletes House proposed language and 
     funding for the Palau Compact, as proposed by the Senate.
       Amendment No. 64: Adds language providing that the 
     effective date of the Palau Compact shall be as determined 
     pursuant to Section 101 of P.L. 101-219 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House had no similar provision.

                          Departmental Offices

                        Office of the Secretary


                         salaries and expenses

       Allocates an increase of $104,000 for the Office of Self 
     Governance within the Office of the Secretary instead of 
     $208,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate had no similar 
     provision.

                        Office of the Solicitor


                         salaries and expenses

       Amendment No. 65: Appropriates $34,674,000 for the Office 
     of the Solicitor instead of $35,374,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $32,548,000 as proposed by the Senate.

             GENERAL PROVISIONS, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

       Amendment No. 66: Strikes the phrase ``by the General 
     Services Administration'' in referring to contracts issued 
     for a twelve-month period beginning at any time during the 
     fiscal year as proposed by the Senate.
       Amendment No. 67: Includes House language stricken by the 
     Senate prohibiting the processing of certain mining or mill 
     site claims and the issuance of patents to such claims under 
     the general mining laws in certain circumstances, modified to 
     delete the provision if mining law reform legislation now in 
     a House-Senate conference is enacted prior to sine die 
     adjournment of the 103rd Congress.
       The amendment further provides that the Secretary of the 
     Interior shall continue to process patent applications that 
     were filed prior to the date of enactment of this Act if the 
     applicant had fully complied with all of the requirements 
     under the general mining laws for such patent.
       The managers agree that those applications having received 
     first-half-final certificates on or before the date of 
     enactment of this Act are not subject to the prohibition in 
     Section 112. In addition, the managers agree that those 
     applications for first-half-final certificates currently 
     pending in the Office of the Solicitor in Washington, D.C. or 
     elsewhere in the Department of the Interior in Washington, 
     D.C. will not be subject to the moratorium in Section 112.
       The managers agree that nothing in the Act requires the 
     Secretary to issue a patent until compliance with the 
     requirements of the general mining laws for obtaining such 
     patent has been verified.
       Amendment No. 68: Deletes House language pertaining to 
     claims and patents under the general mining law as proposed 
     by the Senate. This subject is included in Amendment No. 67.
       Amendment No. 69: Deletes House provision prohibiting the 
     National Park Service from processing permits necessary for 
     construction of a bridge to Ellis Island as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       The managers on the part of the House have receded 
     reluctantly on this amendment. The managers on the part of 
     the House do not want the exclusion of this language to be 
     viewed as a precedent with respect to this project, as there 
     is currently a lawsuit pending regarding Ellis Island, as 
     well as an environmental impact statement, which is not yet 
     complete. The resolution of either or both of these issues 
     could affect the final decision with respect to a foot bridge 
     to Ellis Island.
       Amendment No. 70: Allows research work orders for 
     cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, State 
     agencies, and nonprofit organizations to be funded 
     incrementally as proposed by the Senate. The House had no 
     similar provision.
       Amendment No. 71: Deletes sense of the Senate resolution 
     which is restated herein:


                            edwards aquifer

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) in order to avoid a water emergency in South Central 
     Texas, the withdrawal of water from the Edwards Aquifer 
     (designated as a sole source aquifer under title XIV of the 
     Public Health Service Act (commonly known as the ``Safe 
     Drinking Water Act'') (42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.)) should not be 
     limited without appropriate consideration of the impacts on 
     municipal, agricultural, industrial, and domestic water 
     users);
       (2) Section 10(a) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 
     U.S.C. 1539(a)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to 
     permit the taking of a threatened or endangered species 
     incidental to an otherwise lawful activity, which may include 
     the withdrawal of water from a sole source aquifer; and
       (3) the State of Texas is working, in cooperation with the 
     Department of the Interior and the Department of Justice, to 
     implement the water management plan for the Edwards Aquifer 
     region enacted by the State in 1993.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the Secretary of the Interior should take whatever 
     steps are necessary and allowable under law to minimize 
     adverse impacts on users of the Edwards Aquifer while 
     conserving threatened and endangered species, including 
     issuing a permit pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Endangered 
     Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539(a)); and
       (2) nothing in this Section should relieve any person from 
     any State or local requirement for--
       (A) water conservation or the development of alternative 
     water resources; or
       (B) strategies necessary to reduce demand on the Edwards 
     Aquifer.
       This language is included in the statement of the managers 
     with the understanding that the State of Texas, the City of 
     San Antonio, other affected communities and other water users 
     will continue to implement a plan that secures the futures of 
     both the people and the species that depend on the Edwards 
     Aquifer.
       Amendment No. 72: Deletes Senate amendment earmarking 
     $500,000 for the Atlantic Salmon Demonstration Program for 
     the Northeast. The issue is addressed in Amendment No. 7 
     where $500,000 is provided for this purpose.

                       TITLE II--RELATED AGENCIES

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

                             Forest Service


                            forest research

       Amendment No. 73: Appropriates $200,130,000 for forest 
     research instead of $201,780,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $198,076,000 as proposed by the Senate. The decrease below 
     the amount proposed by the House consists of an increase of 
     $200,000 for the research foundation program in LA; and 
     decreases of $250,000 for recycling research and $1,600,000 
     for Forest Plan ecosystems research.
       While not directing the Forest Service to allocate specific 
     funding to the Bolle Center, MT, the managers encourage the 
     Forest Service to continue the research currently being done 
     at the multiple use economics program of research unit INT-
     4802 in Missoula, MT.
       The $300,000 earmarked from the Forest Plan in the House 
     report for the University of Washington landscape management 
     project should be provided from timber management funds under 
     the National Forest System account.


                       state and private forestry

       Amendment No. 74: Appropriates $161,264,000 for State and 
     private forestry instead of $158,664,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $161,511,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     increase over the amount proposed by the House consists of 
     increases of $600,000 for rural development, $2,000,000 for 
     Pacific Northwest community assistance, and $500,000 for old 
     growth diversification projects; and a decrease of $500,000 
     to the stewardship incentives program.
       The managers have provided an additional $2,000,000 over 
     the amount recommended by the House for Pacific NW community 
     assistance. Because of the mill closures in Alaska, the 
     managers agree that $500,000 of this amount may be provided 
     in Alaska on a one-time basis only.
       The earmarks contained in both the House and Senate reports 
     for urban forestry, forest stewardship, and stewardship 
     incentives are maintained, except that the $500,000 for the 
     northeastern Pennsylvania program in stewardship incentives 
     is one-time funding only. Under the forest legacy program, 
     any political subdivision within New York State must agree to 
     include itself, in order to participate in the program. A 
     subdivision is defined as a village, city, town, or county.
       Within economic action programs, $2.6 million is 
     specifically for continuation of the Rural Development 
     through Forestry program in the Northeast and Midwest at the 
     level available in fiscal year 1994. Other initiatives, such 
     as AmeriCorps, shall not be funded from this initiative 
     unless approved by the Committees through a reprogramming 
     action. The managers note that no funding for AmeriCorps was 
     proposed in the fiscal year 1995 budget, and the 
     reprogramming guidelines provide specific direction about 
     initiating new programs through the use of reprogrammings. 
     This direction applies to the national Forest System 
     appropriation account as well as the State and Private 
     Forestry account.


                         national forest system

       Amendment No. 75: Appropriates $1,345,112,000 for the 
     national forest system instead of $1,348,162,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $1,334,857,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
     This amount is decreased by a $12,000,000 rescission included 
     by both the House and Senate. The decrease below the amount 
     proposed by the House consists of increases of $1,000,000 for 
     recreation management (including $400,000 for the Hells 
     Canyon management plan, $400,000 for the Spring Mountain 
     management plan, and $200,000 for handicapped access in 
     Region I), and $500,000 for timber sales management; and 
     decreases of $1,000,000 for ecosystem planning, inventory and 
     monitoring, and $850,000 for wildlife and fish management, 
     including $500,000 to anadromous fish and $350,000 to 
     threatened and endangered species, $500,000 to rangeland 
     management, $1,000,000 to soil, water and air management, 
     $1,000,000 to road maintenance, and $200,000 to general 
     administration.
       The managers have not included revised numbers for various 
     NFS line items, which were submitted by the Forest Service in 
     order to correct errors in the revised budget structure 
     agreed to by both the House and Senate. The managers are 
     concerned that the numbers were not internally verified 
     before submission to the Committees, and expect the Forest 
     Service to submit a reprogramming request as soon as the 
     correct numbers have been determined.
       The Committees have agreed to a modified budget structure 
     for the Forest Service. The ecosystem, planning, inventory 
     and monitoring (EPIM) line-item was created by reallocating 
     funds from other activities within the various National 
     Forest System programs. In some instances, the resources 
     transferred to the EPIM line-item represented a significant 
     portion of a program area's funding. The managers expect the 
     Forest Service to develop language in its budget instructions 
     that ensures field units are able to maintain, to the fullest 
     extent possible, continuity in the programs which contributed 
     to the EPIM line-item. The new budget structure, and the 
     change in benefitting function concept, are intended to help 
     the Forest Service minimize the duplication of effort and 
     enhance efficiency. In addition, where possible, information 
     gathered in conjunction with activities associated with one 
     program should be used as much as possible where needed for 
     other programs.
       The managers agree that the Forest Service should include 
     in the 1996 request information on the criteria used to 
     allocate National forest system funds among the regions. 
     Within the funds provided is $63,657,000 for law enforcement. 
     The decrease to road maintenance should be allocated on a 
     nationwide basis, and the managers expect work to proceed in 
     1995 on the Koocanusa Bridge project in MT.
       With respect to the timber sales preparation program, the 
     managers have agreed to an additional $500,000 in 1995 over 
     the level proposed by the House. The entire mix of the timber 
     sales program for fiscal year 1995 will be determined by the 
     Forest Service upon review of the dollars provided in this 
     account, as well as for road construction. In addition, a 
     change in the mix of the program between new, or green sales, 
     and salvage timber sales, may be necessary as a result of the 
     severe fire season which ravaged the West this summer. 
     Further impacts on the accomplishment of the timber sales 
     program in different regions of the country may result due to 
     reductions in Federal staffing. Thus, the distribution of the 
     timber sales program contemplated when the budget was 
     submitted may no longer be appropriate. The managers have 
     provided changes to the budget structure and modified 
     reprogramming procedures to enhance the Forest Service's 
     ability to engage in ecosystem management, and expect the new 
     guidelines to be followed in determining the program mix for 
     fiscal year 1995.
       The managers also understand that the likelihood of 
     successfully completing the planned timber sales program 
     proposed for fiscal year 1995 differs significantly among 
     forests and regions across the country. Some forests and 
     regions are far below their capacity to offer sales in fiscal 
     year 1995 and demand for timber sales in some of these 
     forests is very strong. In other instances, projected sales 
     may not be attainable in fiscal year 1995 due to the need for 
     increased environmental review, watershed assessment, or 
     other pre-sale planning activities. The managers expect the 
     Forest Service to take all of these factors into 
     consideration when determining the allocation of the timber 
     sales preparation dollars for fiscal year 1995. The managers 
     expect the Forest Service to allocate carefully all resources 
     available for timber sales to accomplish the most feasible 
     sales level in fiscal year 1995, consistent with ecosystem 
     management objectives. In particular, the managers are 
     concerned that allocations of scarce resources not be 
     directed to areas with low probability of success at the 
     expense of areas with significantly higher probability of 
     success.
       In lieu of the last paragraph on page 76 in the Senate 
     report, the managers request the Forest Service to report by 
     February 15, 1995 on the effect of meeting certain 
     requirements of section 705(a) of ANILCA and NFMA, such as 
     establishing habitat conservation areas for goshawk and 
     wolves, on seeking to provide a timber supply to meet the 
     annual and forest planning cycle market demand in the Tongass 
     NF. the managers are aware of the needs for management of the 
     Tongass which have arisen subsequent to the Department's 
     budget process for fiscal year 1995, including funds to 
     reformulate long term timber sales into small business and 
     independent sales; for the Tongass Land Management Plan 
     (TLMP) process to incorporate new information into the TLMP 
     revision; and to make timber available to replace volume in 
     conflict with proposed management measures. As these needs 
     are further defined, the Forest Service should make the 
     maximum feasible amount of resources available to meet them, 
     and should submit a reprogramming request if determined 
     necessary at the earliest possible date for items that will 
     stress studies for ecologically sound timber management, 
     expediting the land management planning process, and 
     transitional measures associated with recent developments. In 
     addition, the managers recommend that the Forest Service meet 
     with interested members of the public, such as the timber 
     purchasers and others, to explain the costs, benefits, and 
     details of using watershed analysis in the Tongass.
       The managers are aware of needs for inventory and species 
     assessment activities on the Tongass NF, AK, and urge the 
     Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service to consider 
     these requirements when allocating funds in fiscal year 1995. 
     If additional resources are necessary by either agency, a 
     reprogramming should be submitted.
       With respect to the possibility of a 10-year contract, the 
     Forest Service should explore this option in the context of 
     the Tongass land use management plan revision process. The 
     managers expect the Forest Service to provide a draft plan 
     and tentative schedule for such a contract and whether it 
     should be done apart from the TLMP process. The managers on 
     both sides are interested in seeing the TLMP revision 
     completed expeditiously.
       In preparing the fiscal year 1996 budget, the Forest 
     Service should consider budget allowances which will help to 
     address the costs associated with contract cancellations and 
     modifications.
       The managers understand that the $200,000 earmarked in the 
     Senate report for the conversion of roads to trails will be 
     used in as many forests as possible in Region 6, with the 
     Gifford Pinchot NF being the first priority.
       The managers have not provided a specific earmark for 
     inland fish activities at Walker Lake, Toiyabe NF, NV. 
     However, the managers recognize the importance of this 
     effort, and expect the Forest Service to proceed with the 
     required work related to the Lahontan cutthroat trout to the 
     maximum extent feasible. Any related activities which involve 
     recreation improvements should be funded from the recreation 
     use line item.
       The managers recognize the Grande Ronde Model Watershed 
     efforts undertaken in northeast Oregon and encourage others 
     to foster such collaborative endeavors. The Regional Forester 
     and the Forest Service East Side Ecosystem project are 
     expected to cooperate to the fullest extent practicable with 
     watershed-based State/local habitat restoration initiatives 
     such as that underway in the Grande Ronde.
       The House and Senate reprogramming guidelines are revised 
     to include the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee 
     under item 9(a) (notification of Committees before changing 
     regional boundaries, abolishing any region, or moving or 
     closing any regional office).
       The managers note that in recent years, funds have been 
     provided for additional land acquisition on the Green 
     Mountain NF, VT. The classification of these lands through 
     the forest plan process, which involves public comment, is 
     not yet complete. As a result, the Forest Service is not able 
     to manage these lands actively for the appropriate resources.
       Within funds provided to the Green Mountain NF, the Forest 
     Service is encouraged to undertake the analysis, inventory, 
     and public involvement necessary to identify the appropriate 
     management classification of recently acquired lands so that 
     these lands may be integrated into the forest plan. To the 
     extent allowed under existing authorities, the Forest Service 
     is encouraged to undertake these actions using funds provided 
     in the land acquisition account for the Green Mountain NF.
       Amendment No. 76: Provides that timber volume authorized 
     for sale during fiscal year 1994 but which remains unsold 
     shall be offered for sale during fiscal year 1995 to the 
     extent possible as proposed by the Senate.


                     forest service fire protection

       Amendment No. 77: Appropriates $159,590,000 for Forest 
     Service fire protection instead of $160,590,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $156,908,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     decrease from the amount proposed by the House is $1,000,000 
     for fuels management. While the remaining increase of 
     $3,000,000 for fuels management is not earmarked, the 
     managers agree that the Forest Service should note the high 
     priority areas included in the Senate report, and should also 
     place a high priority on the natural fuels treatment 
     initiative in Region 5.
       The managers commend the Department of Agriculture for 
     establishing a task force to review the causes, effects, and 
     severity of the wildfires in the Western United States. The 
     managers expect the Department to move expeditiously to 
     restore and rehabilitate burned-over areas, and reduce 
     excessive fuel load in areas highly susceptible to wildfire. 
     The goals of the Department in undertaking such efforts 
     should be to reduce the risk of loss of life and property; 
     minimize the costs associated with future outbreaks of fire; 
     reduce the risk of post-fire flooding; and enhance the health 
     and sustainability of forest ecosystems.
       The managers also urge the Forest Service to expedite the 
     planning and execution of grass seeding, revegetation, and 
     tree planting operations in forest areas affected by the 1994 
     wildfires, such as in the State of Washington, in order to 
     avoid potential floods and landslides. The managers encourage 
     the Forest Service to given consideration, to the best of its 
     ability, to dislocated timber workers when employing 
     individuals for the replanting, revegetation, and reseeding 
     work.


                              construction

       Amendment No. 78: Appropriations $203,186,000 for 
     construction instead of $191,740,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $219,234,000 as proposed by the Senate. The increase over 
     the amount proposed by the House consists of a decrease of 
     $400,000 for trail construction (including $300,000 for Badin 
     Lake, Uwharrie NF, NC and $100,000 for the Wayne NF, OH), and 
     increases of $1,102,000 for facilities construction and 
     $10,744,000 for road construction.
       The increase for facilities consists of increases of 
     $800,000 for Green Mountain NF facility purchase, $232,000 
     for Hudson Prairie Center, NE, $785,000 for Multnomah Falls 
     sewer system, OR, $1,150,000 for Columbia River Gorge 
     Discovery Center, $871,000 for Winding Stair Mountain, OK, 
     $635,000 for Ketchikan Visitors Center, AK, $1,400,000 for 
     Seneca Rocks Visitors Center, WV, $260,000 for Caney Lake, 
     LA, and $753,000 for Mount St. Helens NVM, WA; and decreases 
     of $2,777,000 for administrative facilities outyear planning 
     and design, $300,000 for Stubblefield Recreation Area, TX, 
     $125,000 for Wayne NF, OH recreation projects, $69,000 for 
     the Red Bluff campground, CA, $150,000 for the Applewhite 
     Area, San Bernardino NF, CA, and $2,363,000 for outyear 
     planning and design for recreation facilities.
       With regard to the outyear planning for both facilities and 
     roads (recreation and general purpose), the managers have 
     provided half of the amounts requested for regionwide 
     planning and design, to be used for new projects costing less 
     than $250,000 and for rehabilitation projects costing less 
     than $500,000. Any projects with outyear costs exceeding 
     these levels should be specifically justified in the 1996 
     budget justification before any planning funds are obligated. 
     Under administrative facilities, $120,000 is provided for the 
     Boulder, CO office, which has been started with previous 
     funding.
       For road construction, the increase over the amount 
     proposed by the House consists of increases of $12,500,000 
     for timber roads, $283,000 for the Hudson Prairie Center, and 
     $488,000 for Mount St. Helens; and decreases of $263,000 for 
     general purpose roads and $2,264,000 for recreation roads, 
     both for outyear planning and design. If the amount provided 
     for timber road construction proves not to be adequate during 
     fiscal year 1995, the Forest Service should submit a 
     reprogramming request to the Appropriations Committee for 
     consideration.
       No funding is earmarked for the Longleaf Vista Trail Area, 
     Kisatchie NF, LA. Within the total of $390,000 provided for 
     the Taft Tunnel project, $114,000 of this funding should be 
     provided from recreation facilities funds. Within trail 
     funds, there is $57,000 for Winding Stair recreation area, 
     OK.
       Within the funds included in the budget for region 6 survey 
     and design, construction engineering, and program 
     administration to be allocated to Washington, the Forest 
     Service should use $100,000 to plan projects needed to 
     provide public access through Federal land and to provide 
     recreation opportunities at Bead Lake, Colville NF, WA. The 
     managers encourage the Forest Service to include the funds 
     necessary to construct the access and facilities in the 1996 
     budget request, and to ensure that all activities are carried 
     out in accordance with all environmental laws and with full 
     public participation.
       Amendment No. 79: Provides $71,443,000 for facilities 
     construction instead of $70,341,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $70,367,000 as proposed by the Senate. The difference 
     from the amount proposed by the House is discussed under 
     Amendment No. 78.
       Amendment No. 80: Provides $131,743,000 for construction of 
     roads and trails instead of $121,399,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $148,867,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     difference from the amount proposed by the House is discussed 
     under Amendment No. 78.


                            land acquisition

       Amendment No. 81: Appropriates $65,436,000 for land 
     acquisition instead of $61,131,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $60,541,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The managers agree to the following distribution of funds:


        Area                                                     Amount

       The $300,000 for the Arapaho National Forest, Colorado is 
     for land acquisition in the Kawuneeche Valley area of 
     Colorado. These lands are to be managed for their value in 
     protecting the headwaters of the Colorado River and the 
     viewshed of Rocky Mountain National Park.
       Within the $750,000 provided for the Jefferson National 
     Forest acquisition, $450,000 is for the first phase of the 
     Cripple Creek tract and the remaining funds are for 
     acquisition at the Guest River Gorge and other Mount Rogers 
     acquisitions.


               administrative provisions, forest service

       Amendment No. 82: Deletes House language on the Shawnee NF 
     and inserts Senate language prohibiting the use of funds for 
     clearcutting or even aged management in hardwood stands on 
     the Shawnee NF to the greatest extent possible and in 
     accordance with the Shawnee NF plan.
       Amendment No. 83: Deletes language proposed by the Senate 
     limiting the amount of reimbursement to the Agricultural 
     Stabilization and Conservation Service for administrative 
     costs under the Stewardship Incentive Program to no more than 
     10 percent of the program level. The language is not 
     necessary because it is covered under existing general 
     Department-wide policy.
       Amendment No. 84: Deletes bill language proposed by the 
     Senate which would have authorized the use of $10,600,000 of 
     National Forest System funds to prepare and offer additional 
     timber sales in four regions of the Forest Service, with the 
     borrowed funds to be repaid from timber receipts if total 
     receipts reached a certain level. The Forest Service has 
     stated that it would be difficult if not impossible to offer 
     any timber sales in 1995 under this authority because of the 
     uncertainty of whether receipts would reach the specified 
     level; and the uncertainty of whether any NFS funds would 
     remain available to be used for this purpose once it is 
     determined that sufficient receipts have been received. The 
     managers are aware of concerns about the timber sales program 
     in various forests and regions, including the Allegheny NF 
     and the South, and have addressed this issue under Amendment 
     No. 75.
       Amendment No. 85: Deletes language proposed by the Senate 
     which would have prohibited the use of funds to implement law 
     enforcement regulations unless the proposed regulations were 
     submitted to the Senate and House Agriculture Committees not 
     later than 90 days before the regulations were made final. 
     The Forest Service is directed to provide the proposed 
     revised law enforcement regulations to the named Committees 
     not later than 90 days before the regulations are scheduled 
     to become final for review and comment by the Committees.

                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


                         clean coal technology

       The managers agree with the Senate language asking the 
     Department of solicit expressions of interest in commercial 
     projects employing clean coal technologies, limited to 
     international (non-domestic) projects of the type described 
     in the Senate report. These expressions of interest should be 
     sought from U.S.-based companies or consortia expecting to 
     provide significant domestic content to such projects.


                fossile energy research and development

       Amendment No. 86: Appropriates $442,614,000 for fossil 
     energy research and development instead of $445,544,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $436,451,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The amount includes $17,000,000 derived by transfer 
     from the SPR petroleum account.
       The net decrease below the amount proposed by the House 
     consists of increases of $300,000 for PETC in-house research 
     on coprocessing of coal and recyclable waste materials in 
     advanced research and environmental technology in fuels 
     research; $500,000 for integrated gasified combined cycle; 
     $500,000 for a pulsed agglomerating combustor in pressurized 
     fluidized beds (PFBs); $1,800,000 for METC in-house research, 
     excluding funds for a hot particulate removal test facility, 
     excluding fluids for a hot particular removal test facility, 
     in advanced research and environmental technology in power 
     systems; $1,000,000 for high temperature materials in 
     advanced research and technology development; $250,000 for 
     beginning an innovative petroleum atlas with the University 
     of Kansas, and $1,100,000 for 50% cost-shared drilling and 
     production research with the University of Tulsa, both in 
     exploration and production supporting research in oil 
     technology; $500,000 for fracture technology verification by 
     LL&E and $1,250,000 for the coalbed methane initiative, both 
     in resource and extraction in natural oil gas research; 
     $350,00 for continued gas-to-liquids research at the 
     University of Oklahoma in natural gas utilization; $750,000 
     for Native American programs in cooperative R&D and 
     $1,500,000 to complete the METC building B-4 
     restoration project and $750,000 for Bartlesville general 
     facility renovations, both in facilities; and decreases of 
     $500,000 for high efficiency processes and $250,000 for PETC 
     in-house research, both in coal preparation; $1,000,000 in 
     indirect liquefaction; $1,141,000 for low emissions boiler 
     systems in advanced pulverized coal plants; $600,000 for 
     environmental activities, $250,000 for technical and economic 
     analysis, and $500,000 for coal technology export, all in 
     advanced research and technology development; $500,000 for 
     class field monitoring, $500,000 for technology transfer, 
     $1,000,000 for secondary recovery research, $500,000 for 
     advanced extraction techniques, and $1,500,000 for the Rocky 
     Mountain Oilfield Testing Center, all in exploration and 
     production supporting research in oil technology; $250,000 in 
     exploration and production environmental research in oil 
     technology; $1,000,000 in processing research and downstream 
     operations in oil technology; $405,000 in environmental 
     research and regulatory analysis in natural gas research; 
     $250,000 for the Illinois cooperative agreement in 
     cooperative R&D $2,511,000 in environmental restoration; and 
     $823,000 in headquarters program direction.
       The managers agree that:
       1. Funds for high efficiency processes in coal preparation 
     are to be used for incremental funding of awards to the 
     remaining selectees;
       2. Funds in Fischer Tropsch and oxygenates key activities 
     in indirect liquefaction may be used to carry out activities 
     at the Laporte facility in order to maximize private sector 
     involvement at the facility and reported after the fact with 
     the quarterly base table adjustments;
       3. The Department shall continue to fund the three current 
     contractors in the low emissions boiler systems program 
     provided the added cost is offset by increased cost sharing 
     at a level of at least 25% in Phases II and III. The managers 
     further agree that a report is necessary by April 1, 1995, as 
     proposed by the Senate, reviewing the role of the program in 
     the overall context of the advanced combustion systems 
     development program;
       4. The amount for indirect fired cycle activity includes 
     $10,441,000 for Phase II and bridge contracting, $675,000 for 
     PETC in-house research, $650,000 for METC in-house research, 
     and $119,000 for general support. The managers further agree 
     to government bridge funding as proposed by the Senate, 
     estimated for the externally-fired combined cycle project to 
     be approximately $2.7 million, cost-shared at no less than 25 
     percent;
       5. With regard to the increase for high temperature 
     materials, institutions and university/industry consortia 
     with a foundation of background knowledge and experience in 
     these technologies, such as Argonne National Laboratory, 
     Pennsylvania State University, West Virginia University and 
     the Carbon Products Consortium should be given priority 
     consideration;
       6. Funding for the Gypsy field project with the University 
     of Oklahoma is supported strongly and additional funds were 
     not included only because existing resources are sufficient 
     to carry the current program through fiscal year 1995. The 
     managers are concerned about reported delays in moving the 
     project forward in fiscal years 1994 and 1995. The managers 
     expect that any funds provided in fiscal year 1996 will be 
     obligated mid-year in order to provide for a smooth 
     continuation of the project.
       7. The Department should work with the University of Kansas 
     to begin the development of a mid-continent petroleum atlas 
     using innovative techniques and emerging information 
     technologies, including advanced geographic information 
     systems (GIS), relational data base systems, and on-line 
     access;
       8. To the extent NPR-3 is used as an oil field testing 
     center the government portion of costs for such testing 
     should be absorbed by the benefitting oil technology program; 
     when NPR-3 is the benefitting entity it should absorb the 
     costs;
       9. Up to $450,000 in addition to the $500,000 increase for 
     the LL&E fracture verification contract should be provided 
     out of projected new starts in the diagnostic and evaluation 
     of natural fractures key activity in the budget for resource 
     and extraction in natural gas research;
       10. In the coal bed methane initiative, $500,000 is 
     provided to undertake a feasibility study which is to result 
     in a report to the Appropriations Committees analyzing the 
     merits of and delineating the contents of the propose 
     program. No additional activity, including procurement, for 
     which $750,000 has been provided, shall be undertaken prior 
     to review of the report by the Committees.
       11. The amount for advanced turbine systems includes 
     $4,800,000 for the industry/university consortium, $1,000,000 
     for manufacturing technology in the National laboratories, 
     $2,500,000 for METC in-house research, $2,000,000 for 
     combustion/coal technology, and $27,556,000 for the component 
     development procurement; and
       12. The $750,000 provided for the Native American program 
     should continue efforts by the Department such as those to 
     develop cost effective systems for remote community power 
     supplies involving the State of Alaska, and several native 
     corporations in Alaska. The managers expect that, prior to 
     any site specific activity, the Department will issue a 
     solicitation of interest to those and other Native American 
     entities or corporations to assure the broadest possible 
     participation in technology demonstrations related to the 
     establishment of independent power supplies for isolated 
     communities.


                 naval petroleum and oil shale reserves

       Amendment No. 87: Appropriates $187,406,000 for Naval 
     petroleum and oil shale reserves as proposed by the Senate 
     instead of $193,956,000 as proposed by the House.


                          energy conservation

       Amendment No. 88: Appropriates $793,194,000 for energy 
     conservation instead of $824,585,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $743,741,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The net increase above the amount proposed by the Senate 
     consists of increases of $1,000,000 in the core retrofit 
     technologies activity to include continued coordination with 
     HUD, $1,000,000 for Rebuild America, and $400,000 for best 
     practices emphasizing cost-shared activities, all in building 
     systems; $1,625,000 for indoor air quality in building 
     envelope; $2,000,000 for heating and cooling technology and 
     $2,000,000 for golden carrot/demonstration activity, both in 
     building equipment; $500,000 for EEMS/HERS in codes and 
     standards; $1,000,000 for the Federal Energy Efficiency Fund 
     and $1,500,000 for innovative/alternative financing and 
     Federal facility test beds, both in the Federal Energy 
     Management Program; $500,000 for advanced topping cycles and 
     $2,000,000 for continuous fiber ceramic composites, both in 
     industrial cogneration; $250,000 for electric drives in 
     industry; $1,000,000 for thermal science in industrial 
     process hearing and cooling; $950,000 in waste utilization 
     and conversion and $1,000,000 for NICE 3 in waste reduction, 
     both in industrial waste; $500,000 for aluminum spray forming 
     in industrial materials and metals processing; $1,000,000 for 
     the EADC program in industrial implementation and deployment; 
     $1,000,000 for vehicle systems materials; $1,500,000 for 
     light duty engine development; $2,000,000 for battery 
     development and $2,000,000 for hybrid systems development, 
     both in electric and hybrid propulsion development; 
     $14,000,000 for weatherization assistance; $875,000 for basic 
     State energy conservation program grants; $290,000 to delete 
     the proposed absorption of the fiscal year 1995 pay raise; 
     and $11,000,000 to delete the proposed general reduction; and 
     decreases of $1,200,000 for engine optimization in 
     alternative fuels utilization and $237,000 in additional use 
     of prior year funds.
       The managers agree that:
       1. The reduction in advanced topping cycles should be taken 
     from the new component development procurement and not from 
     work on low NOx combustion.
       2. No funds are included to expand the number of Energy 
     Analysis and Diagnostic Centers (EADCs) beyond the 30 planned 
     in fiscal year 1994. Funding is expected to provide for 30 
     centers capable of performing both energy audits and combined 
     energy/waste assessments. Development of industrial guide 
     books, best practice manuals, and collaborative workshops 
     with States is also supported at this funding level.
       3. Within funds made available for integrated resource 
     planning (IRP), the Department should establish a program 
     that addresses the impact of industry restructuring on IRP in 
     lieu of establishing a separate State grant program. The 
     program should be a cooperative effort of the Department and 
     relevant State and local organizations and affected 
     industries, and should emphasize technical and financial 
     assistance, collaborative processes, and research directed to 
     assist States considering restructuring alternatives. The 
     managers expect the Department to give strong consideration 
     to providing financial assistance to State actively engaged 
     in integrated resource planning.
       4. Support for foreign energy efficiency centers must be 
     coordinated closely with the Agency for International 
     Development (AID) and other appropriate agencies of the 
     Departments of State and Commerce and in no case should funds 
     be used to provide basic operating support to new centers. 
     Assistance needs to be targeted to enhancing the use of 
     energy efficient technologies provided by U.S. based firms, 
     and relevant to ongoing Department programs and the 
     Administration should resolve the matter of continued basis 
     operating support for existing energy efficiency centers in a 
     manner that will not obligate the Department of Energy to 
     provide such funds after fiscal year 1995.
       5. Within the funds made available for the Site Operators 
     Program and the Federal Fleet Acquisition program the 
     following criteria must be made a part of any agreement 
     entered into or action taken by the Department with EV 
     America, or equivalent coalition:
       Within the Site Operators Program, program scope must be 
     limited to testing and evaluation of electric vehicles and 
     associated support infrastructure.
       Within the Federal Fleet Acquisition program, for any 
     vehicle acquisitions made in conjunction with EV America or 
     equivalent coalition: (a) vehicles must be acquired in 
     accordance with Sec. 302(a)(2) of the Energy Policy Act; (b) 
     no vehicles will be acquired for the purpose of testing and 
     evaluation; (c) vehicle performance must be comparable to 
     equivalent internal combustion engines except in range; (d) 
     light duty vehicles must have a range minimum of 60 miles; 
     (e) medium to heavy duty vehicles must have a range minimum 
     of 40 miles; (f) the maximum incremental cost of each vehicle 
     must be no higher than $20,000.
       Any vehicle acquisition procurement must be open to the 
     three major domestic vehicle manufacturers.
       6. Sufficient funds have been made available for low income 
     weatherization assistance to permit the Department to revise 
     the formula for distribution of grant funds to States in 
     order to allow for a more equitable apportionment of funds 
     while not harming the existing capacity of any State to 
     weatherize homes. Such a revised formula, generally following 
     the principles established among the Department and affected 
     interests, should be implemented as rapidly as possible 
     through the rulemaking process.
       7. The Cool Communities concept including outreach and 
     community involvement in adopting technologies and methods of 
     mitigating urban heat island effects should be encouraged by 
     the Department and coordinated with urban heat island funding 
     remaining in the appropriation.
       Amendment No. 89: Earmarks, $278,399,000 for energy 
     conservation grant programs instead of $283,199,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $265,024,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The earmark consists of $226,800,000 for the 
     weatherization assistance program, $22,539,000 for the State 
     energy conservation program, and $29,060,000 for the 
     institutional conservation program.
       Amendment No.90: Earmarks $226,800,000 for the 
     weatherization assistance program instead of $230,800,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $212,800,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Amendment No. 91: Earmarks $22,539,000 for the State energy 
     conservation program instead of $23,339,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $23,164,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     reduced earmark is a result of actions taken in Amendment No. 
     88.
       Amendment No. 92: Deletes Senate proposed language which 
     reduced earmarks proportionally based on a general reduction 
     to the appropriation account. The House had no similar 
     provision.
       Amendment No. 93: Deletes Senate proposed language 
     concerning weatherization assistance distribution formulas. 
     The House had no similar provision. This subject is covered 
     in Amendment No. 88.


                   energy information administration

       Amendment No. 94: Appropriates $84,728,000 for the Energy 
     Information Administration as proposed by the House instead 
     of $84,507,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

                         Indian Health Service


                         Indian health Services

       Amendment No. 95: Appropriates $1,713,052,000 for Indian 
     health services instead of $1,706,102,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $1,715,052,000 as proposed by the Senate. Increases 
     to the House position include $4,812,000 to restore the 
     fiscal year 1994 level, $5,977,000 to continue funding, 
     provided in the facilities appropriation in fiscal year 1994, 
     for increasing the level of need funded for certain tribes, 
     and $211,000 for the Perry Point supply facility. The 
     increases are partially offset by decreases in hospitals and 
     clinics of $750,000 for diabetes programs and $100,000 for 
     AIDS prevention and treatment, and a decrease of $3,200,000 
     in the alcohol and substance abuse program.
       The managers agree that:
       1. The fetal alcohol syndrome project at the University of 
     Washington should receive its fair share of the funds 
     provided for inflation;
       2. Of the funds provided for program increases for alcohol 
     and substance abuse treatment and prevention, at least 
     $100,000 should be used to help offset the operational 
     shortfalls in the Gallup, NM alcoholism project;
       3. The IHS should coordinate carefully with the tribes in 
     the Portland Area prior to reaching a decision on the 
     transfer of the Native American Rehabilitation Association 
     alcoholism project from the hospitals and clinics program to 
     the urban program;
       4. The self-governance program should be expanded through 
     new compacts but these compacts should not be negotiated at 
     the expense of program funding for other tribes;
       5. The IHS, in consultation with all the tribes, must 
     address the organizational changes needed, such as closing 
     and consolidating area offices and delegating area office and 
     headquarters functions to the field, to free up funding for 
     additional self-governance compacts in fiscal year 1995 and 
     beyond;
       6. The IHS and the BIA should prepare a coordinated plan 
     for addressing the unmet need for child sexual abuse 
     treatment and prevention programs for American Indians and 
     Alaska Natives, along with cost estimates, and the report 
     should be delivered to the House and Senate legislative and 
     Appropriations Committees within 90 days of enactment of this 
     Act; and
       7. The Bay Mills child sexual abuse treatment and 
     prevention program should be treated as a recurring program 
     in fiscal year 1995 and subsequent years. The managers expect 
     all programs funded under the services appropriation to be 
     treated as recurring unless expressly stated to the contrary.
       Amendment No. 96: Deletes language inserted by the Senate 
     earmarking $250,000 for the training of American Indians in 
     the field of psychology, as authorized by Section 217 of the 
     Indian Health Care Improvement Act of 1992. The House had no 
     similar provision.
       The managers understand that the fiscal year 1995 IHS 
     scholarship program will support 18 continuing students and 6 
     new scholarship awards in the area of clinical psychology. 
     The managers urge the IHS and the Department to consider 
     carefully the need for additional scholarship programs in the 
     field of psychology and to incorporate funding estimates for 
     such programs, including the Indians into Psychology program, 
     in the IHS priorities for the fiscal year 1996 budget.


                        indian health facilities

       Amendment No. 97: Appropriates $253,767,000 for Indian 
     health facilities as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $253,892,000 as proposed by the House. The changes to the 
     House position include an increase of $375,000 for design of 
     the Parker, Arizona outpatient facility and a decrease of 
     $500,000 for injury prevention activities in the facilities 
     and environmental health support program.
       The managers are concerned that the Winnebago and Omaha 
     tribes in Nebraska are still in disagreement with respect to 
     the site selection for a new inpatient facility. The 
     Committees recommended funding for the Winnebago hospital 
     design in this appropriation with the understanding that 
     there was a firm agreement between the Tribes with respect to 
     the site selection process and hospital construction. The 
     managers are hopeful that a permanent agreement on the 
     Winnebago hospital can be reached shortly; however, given the 
     great unfunded need of the projects on the IHS construction 
     priority list, available funds need to be devoted to those 
     projects that are underway or ready to proceed to planning, 
     design and construction. If an agreement has not been reached 
     when the Committees are considering the fiscal year 1996 
     appropriation for IHS, the Committees intend to recommend 
     that the $1,400,000 provided for Winnebago hospital design in 
     fiscal year 1995 be reprogrammed to other ongoing IHS 
     facility construction projects at the beginning of fiscal 
     year 1996.
       The managers are aware of concerns about the inclusion of 
     programs which have been operated under P.L. 93-638 into 
     self-governance compacts. The managers encourage the IHS, and 
     particularly the Office of Environmental Health and 
     Engineering, to work with the self-governance tribes to 
     negotiate activities which could be incorporated into self-
     governance compacts without affecting adversely non-
     compacting tribes. Where possible, funds for one-time or non-
     recurring activities may be folded into ongoing compacts but 
     should not be considered a part of the base.
       The managers agree that:
       1. Funds provided for the facilities program should be 
     distributed in accordance with a methodology that addresses 
     the fluctuating annual workload and maintains parity among 
     the IHS areas and the tribes as the workload shifts;
       2. Funding for sanitation facilities should be used in 
     accordance with the criteria outlined in House report 103-
     551; and
       3. The IHS sanitation program should continue to provide 
     connection fees for Indian homes in non-Indian communities 
     but within an IHS service area, and provide system expansions 
     or extensions when necessary for currently unserved Indian 
     homes. This issue is discussed in more detail in Amendment 
     No. 100.


            administrative provisions, indian health service

       Amendment No. 98: Designates the IHS clinic in Stilwell, 
     Oklahoma as the ``Wilma P. Mankiller Indian Health Clinic'' 
     as proposed by the Senate. The House had no similar 
     provision. The amendment also permits the recently Federally 
     recognized Ponca Tribe of Nebraska to use funds, appropriated 
     in fiscal year 1994, to purchase a building for a health care 
     facility for the Tribe, and permits the IHS to enter into a 
     P.L. 93-638 contract for the operation of the Dena A Coy 
     center in Anchorage for treatment of pregnant and postpartum 
     women for substance abuse.
       Amendment No. 99: Provides for IHS retention of funds for 
     meals served at IHS facilities as proposed by the Senate and 
     makes the provision permanent. The House had no similar 
     provision.
       Amendment No. 100: Deletes Senate provision mandating the 
     inclusion of certain Native villages in Alaska in the IHS 
     sanitation facilities priority system. The House had no 
     similar provision.
       The Indian Health Service has indicated it will consider 
     the needs of Alaska Natives in the non-Native communities in 
     Alaska where circumstances inhibit the community's ability to 
     meet water supply and waste disposal mandates.
       The managers understand that the IHS will provide 
     sanitation facilities to some Indian homes in non-Indian 
     communities if the non-Indian community is in an IHS service 
     area and the homes (new or existing) are currently not served 
     by the community system. Some examples follow.
       a. IHS can fund the construction of a service line between 
     an Indian home and an existing water main, and IHS can pay 
     the connection fee.
       b. If a subdivision of Indian homes is constructed, IHS can 
     fund the sanitation facilities for the homes inside the 
     subdivision plus fund upgrades to the central treatment/
     storage systems made necessary to accommodate the added 
     Indian homes (a proportional amount).
       c. IHS can fund a connection between an Indian and non-
     Indian community to provide improved service to the Indian 
     community.
       d. IHS can fund a prorated amount for a new regional solid 
     waste facility in locations where there was no existing solid 
     waste collection and disposal system.

                        DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

              Office of Elementary and Secondary Education


                            indian education

       Amendment No. 101: Strikes a reference to House-passed 
     authorizing legislation as proposed by the Senate and inserts 
     new language to provide for the orderly completion of 
     projects begun under the recently expired authorization. The 
     amount provided for special programs for Indian children 
     includes funds for continuation awards for Indian-controlled 
     schools.
       The managers agree that the distribution of funds between 
     grants to local education agencies and special programs for 
     Indian children should be based on the House-recommended 
     levels. Realignment of funds between these programs, up to a 
     maximum of $500,000, may be accomplished via reprogramming to 
     the extent needed to comply with the final reauthorization 
     law.

                         OTHER RELATED AGENCIES

              Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation


                         salaries and expenses

       Amendment No. 102: Appropriates $24,936,000 for the Office 
     of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation as proposed by the 
     Senate instead of $26,936,000 as proposed by the House. The 
     change to the House position is a decrease of $2,000,000 for 
     housing.

                Institute of American Indian and Alaska

                  Native Culture and Arts Development


                        payment to the institute

       Amendment No. 103: Appropriates $11,213,000 for payment to 
     the Institute instead of $12,713,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $9,812,000 as proposed by the Senate. The decrease below 
     the amount proposed by the House is $1,500,000 for new campus 
     construction.
       The managers have agreed to provide $1,500,000 for new 
     campus construction, making a total of $4,500,000 that has 
     been provided to date out of the $8,000,000 to be provided 
     from this appropriation for the project. The managers are 
     concerned about the ability and plans of the Institute to 
     raise the remaining \2/3\ of the funds needed for Phase I of 
     this project through grants or private fundraising, and will 
     expect to see significant progress in raising the balance of 
     funding needed prior to recommending the balance of 
     appropriations under this agreement.

                        Smithsonian Institution


                         salaries and expenses

       Amendment No. 104: Appropriates $314,454,000 for salaries 
     and expenses as proposed by the House instead of $312,755,000 
     as proposed by the Senate.
       The $50,000 increase provided for the Mpala Center, Kenya 
     is for facilities and equipment on a one-time only basis.
       The managers agree that the Smithsonian should identify a 
     qualified individual who is currently a permanent employee of 
     the Smithsonian to supervise the planning, allocation, and 
     administration of the Latino programming funds and the 
     implementation of recommendations of the Task Force on Latino 
     Issues. The managers are concerned about the issues raised in 
     the Report of the Task Force on Latino Issues and expect the 
     Smithsonian to act expeditiously on the findings.
       The managers expect the Smithsonian's exhibit surrounding 
     the Enola Gay to recognize properly and respectfully the 
     significant contribution to the early termination of World 
     War II, and the saving of lives of both Americans and 
     Japanese, by its crew, the Army Air Services Command and 
     President Truman.


        construction and improvements, national zoological park

       Amendment No. 105: Appropriates $4,050,000 for zoo 
     construction instead of $5,000,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $3,050,000 as proposed by the Senate. The decrease below 
     the amount proposed by the House is for the grasslands 
     exhibit.


                              construction

       Amendment No. 106: Appropriates $29,300,000 for 
     construction as proposed by the Senate instead of $30,000,000 
     as proposed by the House. The decrease below the amount 
     proposed by the House is for savings from prior year 
     projects.

                            matching grants

       Amendment No. 108: Appropriates $29,150,000 for matching

     2.0 percent The Senate had deleted this provision.

                 National Endowment for the Humanities


                       grants and administration

       The managers agree to earmark $5,750,000 for the National 
     Heritage Program within the Office of Preservation The House 
     had proposed an earmark of $6,000,000.

                      Institute of Museum Services


                       grants and administration

       Allocates $3,437,000 for conservation programs and $698,000 
     for services to the profession as proposed by the House. The 
     Senate allocated $300,000 more for conservation and $300,000 
     less for services to the profession.

                        Commission of Fine Arts

     Council on Historic Preservation as proposed by the Senate 
     instead of $2,967,000 as proposed by the House. The change to 
     the House position is a decrease of $20,000 for travel.

       Amendment No. 113: Appropriates $2,738,000 for the salaries 
     and expenses of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development 
     Corporation as proposed by the Senate. The House recommended

                United States Holocaust Memorial Council


                       holocaust memorial council

       Amendment No. 114: Appropriates $26,660,000 for the 
     Holocaust Memorial Council as proposed by the House instead 
     of $21,679,000 as proposed by the Senate. The managers expect 
     the Council to notify the Committees as soon as possible on 
     any needed realignment of funds to accommodate unanticipated 
     increases in operation and maintenance and security 
     requirements placed on the Holocaust Memorial Museum as a 
     result of the continuing higher-than-expected visitation at 
     the museum.
       Amendment No. 115: Restores language proposed by the House 
     and stricken by the Senate providing that $2,700,000 of the 
     funds available to the Council in fiscal year 1995 shall 
     remain available until expended for repair and rehabilitation 
     projects at the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

                     TITLE III--GENERAL PROVISIONS

       Amendment No. 116: Clarifies the Senate proposed language 
     providing for burial costs and related expenses for employees 
     killed in the line of duty, and expands coverage to all 
     agencies in the bill, instead of only the Department of the 
     Interior and Forest Service as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House had no similar provision.
       The amendment also provides a 0.191 percent reduction to 
     all accounts in the Act with the exception of payments 
     required by law, payments to certain Indian groups, and 
     certain small independent agencies. The reduction is made to 
     reduce budget authority and outlays to levels within 
     Congressional budget allocations.
       The amendment also provides a total of $450,000,000, as 
     requested by the Administration, for the Emergency Forest 
     Service Firefighting Fund. The Forest Service is experiencing 
     a very severe fire season in fiscal year 1994. As of early 
     September, there had been over 58,000 wildland fires that 
     burned more than 3,300,000 acres, about one-third of which 
     were in the National Forests. Emergency appropriations are 
     necessary to fund the direct expenses required to suppress 
     wildfires on or threatening National Forest System lands and 
     other lands under fire protection agreements, as well as to 
     fund the emergency rehabilitation of burned over National 
     Forest System lands.
       The Forest Service has exhausted both the funding 
     appropriated for emergency firefighting activities in fiscal 
     year 1994, as well as available carry-over balances and 
     emergency contingency funding. This additional emergency 
     supplemental funding is needed to fund fire suppression 
     activities necessary due to the very severe fiscal year 1994 
     fire season, as well as to reestablish an emergency 
     firefighting contingency fund for future years.
       Amendment No. 117: Deletes Senate amendment requiring 
     submission of land acquisition priorities by the National 
     Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of 
     Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service.
       The managers agree that the agency budget justifications 
     should include a ranking of projects. Each listing should 
     also include the natural and/or cultural resources associated 
     with the proposal; degree and nature of threat to the 
     resource; and total estimated costs associated with each land 
     acquisition.
       Amendment No. 118: Deletes Sense of the Senate language on 
     the Tongass NF, AK.
       Amendment No. 119: Deletes language proposed by the Senate 
     which would have required a report on problems with the 
     Shiprock facility of the Navajo Community College within 30 
     days of enactment of this Act. Although the bill language has 
     not been retained, the Bureau of Indian Affairs should 
     provide a report to the Appropriations Committees within 60 
     days of enactment of this Act on the facility problems, 
     including the nature of the agreements between the Bureau and 
     the Navajo Community College, the respective responsibilities 
     for maintenance and repair, and any assistance provided by 
     the Bureau consistent with its responsibilities and current 
     policies.


                              forest plan

       The United States Office of Forestry and Economic 
     Development shall be authorized to establish an 
     interdepartmental fund for the purposes of overseeing 
     implementation of the President's Forest Plan. The Director 
     of the Office shall report to the President and Congress no 
     later than December 31, 1995 on Federal agencies' progress on 
     forest management, economic assistance, and interagency 
     coordination at both regional and national levels, with 
     special attention being given to watershed analysis and 
     restoration.
       Nothing in the establishment of this fund is to be 
     construed as overriding the Committee's reprogramming 
     guidelines. If, in the process of evaluating the needs for 
     implementation of the President's forest plan, a reallocation 
     of resources is contemplated, the appropriate Department 
     should propose a reprogramming.


                   application of general reductions

       The level at which reductions shall be taken pursuant to 
     the Deficit Reduction Act of 1985, if such reductions are 
     required in fiscal year 1995, is defined by the managers 
     follows:
       As provided for by Section 256(l)(2) of Public Law 99-177, 
     as amended, and for the purposes of a Presidential Order 
     issued pursuant to Section 254 of said Act, the term 
     ``program, project, and activity'' for items under the 
     jurisdiction of the Appropriations Subcommittees on the 
     Department of the Interior and Related Agencies of the House 
     of Representatives and the Senate is defined as (1) any item 
     specifically identified in tables or written material set 
     forth in the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations 
     Act, or accompanying committee reports or the conference 
     report and accompanying joint explanatory statement of the 
     managers of the committee of conference; (2) any Government-
     owned or Government-operated facility; and (3) management 
     units, such as national parks, national forests, fish 
     hatcheries, wildlife refuges, research units, regional, State 
     and other administrative units and the like, for which funds 
     are provided in fiscal year 1995.
       The managers emphasize that any item for which a specific 
     dollar amount is mentioned in an accompanying report, 
     including all increases over the budget estimate approved by 
     the Committees, shall be subject to a percentage reduction no 
     greater or less than the percentage reduction applied to all 
     domestic discretionary accounts.

       The total new budget (obligational) authority for the 
     fiscal year 1995 recommended by the Committee of Conference, 
     with comparisons to the fiscal year 1994 amount, the 1995 
     budget estimates, and the House and Senate bills for 1995
