                    Environmental Protection Agency


                        administrative provision

       The Congress finds that the 1990 amendments to the Clean 
     Air Act (Public Law 101-549) superseded prior requirements of 
     the Clean Air Act regarding the demonstration of attainment 
     of national ambient air quality standards for the South 
     Coast, Ventura, and Sacramento areas of California and thus 
     eliminated the obligation of the Administrator of the 
     Environmental Protection Agency to promulgate a Federal 
     implementation plan under section 110(e) of the Clean Air Act 
     for those areas. Upon the enactment of this Act, any Federal 
     implementation plan that has been promulgated by the 
     Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under 
     the Clean Air Act for the South Coast, Ventura, or Sacramento 
     areas of California pursuant to a court order or settlement 
     shall be rescinded and shall have no further force and 
     effect.

     for obligation prior to October 1, 1996.''.
       And the Senate agree to the same.
       Amendment numbered 24:
       That the House recede from its disagreement to the 
     amendment of the Senate numbered 24, and agree to the same 
     with an amendment, as follows:
       In lieu of the matter proposed by said amendment insert:
             TITLE IV--MEXICAN DEBT DISCLOSURE ACT OF 1995

     SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Mexican Debt Disclosure 
     Act of 1995''.

     SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) Mexico is an important neighbor and trading partner of 
     the United States;
       (2) on January 31, 1995, the President approved a program 
     of assistance to Mexico, in the form of swap facilities and 
     securities guarantees in the amount of $20,000,000,000, using 
     the exchange stabilization fund;
       (3) the program of assistance involves the participation of 
     the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the 
     International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International 
     Settlements, the International Bank for Reconstruction and 
     Development, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Bank of 
     Canada, and several Latin America countries;
       (4) the involvement of the exchange stabilization fund and 
     the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System means 
     that United States taxpayer funds will be used in the 
     assistance effort to Mexico;
       (5) assistance provided by the International Monetary Fund, 
     the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, 
     and the Inter-American Development Bank may require 
     additional United States contributions of taxpayer funds to 
     those entities;
       (6) the immediate use of taxpayer funds and the potential 
     requirement for additional future United States contributions 
     of taxpayer funds necessitates congressional oversight of the 
     disbursement of funds; and
       (7) the efficacy of the assistance to Mexico is contingent 
     on the pursuit of sound economic policy by the Government of 
     Mexico.

     SEC. 403. PRESIDENTIAL REPORTS.

       (a) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than June 30, 1995, 
     and every 6 months thereafter, the President shall transmit

     term currency swaps with, the Government of Mexico by the 
     United States Government, including the Board of Governors of 
     the Federal Reserve System.
       (b) Contents of Reports.--Each report described in 
     subsection (a) shall contain a description of the following 
     actions taken, or economic situations existing, during the 
     preceding 6-month period or, in the case of the initial 
     report, during the period beginning on the date of enactment 
     of this Act:
       (1) Changes in wage, price, and credit controls in the 
     Mexican economy.
       (2) Changes in taxation policy of the Government of Mexico.
       (3) Specific actions taken by the Government of Mexico to 
     further privatize the economy of Mexico.
       (4) Actions taken by the Government of Mexico in the 
     development of regulatory policy that significantly affected 
     the performance of the Mexican economy.
       (5) Consultations concerning the program approved by the 
     President, including advice on economic, monetary, and fiscal 
     policy, held between the Government of Mexico and the 
     Secretary of the Treasury (including any designee of the 
     Secretary) and the conclusions resulting 
     [[Page H4323]] from any periodic reviews undertaken by the 
     International Monetary Fund pursuant to the Fund's loan

       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. 889) making 
     emergency supplemental appropriations and rescissions to 
     preserve and enhance the military readiness of the Department 
     of Defense 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 effects of the 
     action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 
     accompanying conference report.
       Report language included by the House in the report 
     accompanying H.R. 889 (H. Rept. 104-29) and the report 
     accompanying H.R. 845 (H. Rept. 104-30) which is not changed 
     by the report of the Senate (S. Rept. 104-12), and Senate 
     report language which is not changed by the conference are 
     approved by the committee of conference. The statement of the 
     managers while repeating some report language for emphasis, 
     is not intended to negate the language referred to above 
     unless expressly provided herein.
       Amendment No. 1: Inserts an enacting clause, inserts 
     language making emergency supplemental appropriations for the 
     Department of Defense, inserts language rescinding certain 
     budget authority from the Department of Defense and inserts 
     general provisions relating to the Department of Defense. The 
     Senate amendment deleted the enacting clause and all the 
     House language providing emergency supplemental 
     appropriations and directing certain rescissions relating to 
     the Department of Defense and inserted new language providing 
     supplemental appropriations and providing additional 
     rescissions and language provisions relating to the 
     Department. The details of the conference agreement follow:
                         [[Page H4324]] TITLE I

                               CHAPTER I

                 EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY

       The conference agreement includes a total of $3,069,997,000 
     for unfunded military personal, operation and maintenance, 
     and procurement costs associated with contingency operations 
     and other readiness requirements instead of $3,208,400,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $1,963,697,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees also have agreed to a general provision 
     proposed by the House which will provide $360,000,000 in 
     offsets to this amount from burdensharing contributions.
       After the House and Senate acted on the fiscal year 1995 
     Supplemental budget request, the Department of Defense 
     identified several significant revisions to the cost of 
     contingency operations. These revisions, outlined in the 
     table below, include a reduction to Operation VIGILANT 
     WARRIOR that concluded on December 22, 1994, and increases 
     for support of Cuban refugees, as well as flying hour costs 
     associated with several of these operations. The conferees 
     agree to incorporate these revisions in the total 
     appropriations provided to the Department.
       In addition to providing funds to cover contingency 
     operations costs, the conference agreement also includes 
     funds to pay for other readiness enhancements in the Military 
     Personnel and Operation and Maintenance accounts. Funds are 
     added to completely pay for the fiscal year 1995 military pay 
     raise, and cover increased overseas station allowance costs 
     accruing from the recent decline in the value of the dollar. 
     Funds also are included to finance shortfalls in Navy flying 
     hour costs.
       A summary of the conference agreement is as follows:

                                                                                 SUMMARY OF CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

                contingency and non-traditional missions

       The conferees express their deep concern over the process 
     by which U.S. military forces are being deployed on major, 
     large scale contingency operations. The conferees note that 
     the Administration neither sought nor received advance 
     approval of or funding for military operations from the 
     Congress in support of peacekeeping and humanitarian 
     missions. The missions involving Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti, and 
     refugee relief in the Caribbean all mark significant 
     departures from previous emergency deployments of American 
     forces dealing with valid threats to the national security. 
     The conferees strongly believe that military deployments in 
     support of peacekeeping or humanitarian objectives both merit 
     and require advance approval by the Congress.
       The issue is of special concern to the conferees because of 
     the effect these operations have had on the defense budgeting 
     and planning process. There is no question but that the 
     recent spate of ``contingency'' deployments, none of which 
     was approved in advance by Congress nor budgeted for, have 
     wreaked havoc upon the ability of the Department of Defense 
     to maintain military readiness. These operations have led to 
     substantial and repeated diversions of funds intended for 
     training, equipment and property maintenance. From the 
     Secretary of Defense to commanders in the field, there is 
     universal acknowledgment that this practice has led to 
     degradations in readiness.
       A related issue involves the rapid increase in Defense 
     Department participation in activities which under both law 
     and tradition are the responsibility of other Federal 
     departments. The principal example of this trend is the use 
     of DoD funds, personnel, and facilities to deal with the 
     issue of Cuban and Haitian refugees. The cost of these 
     operations has been almost entirely borne by the Department 
     of Defense, even though other Federal entities have long had 
     primary responsibility for dealing with refugee and 
     immigration issues and have, in the past, reimbursed the 
     Department of Defense for such support in accordance with the 
     Economy Act. At present, DoD is being forced to bear $1 
     million per day in costs for these operations, out of funds 
     intended to be used for military operations, training, and 
     readiness. The conferees believe DoD should not be forced to 
     bear the cost of operations whch are not its responsibility, 
     especially when it results in a substantial diversion of 
     funds provided by the Congress expressly for military 
     activities.
       These problems underline the need for the Executive Branch 
     to seek congressional approval for unanticipated 
     nontraditional military operations in advance. The conferees 
     intend to address these issues in connection with the fiscal 
     year 1996 appropriations process, in order to avoid the 
     recurrence of situations such as those which created the need 
     for the appropriations contained in this measure. The 
     conferees strongly urge the Administration to provide 
     detailed and timely proposals to assist in resolving these 
     issues.


                        other procurement, army

       The budget request included $28,600,000 for a wide variety 
     of equipment in the ``Other Procurement, Army'' account. The 
     conferees recommend a total of $8,300,000 for the highest 
     priority programs within the request.

                               CHAPTER II

                  RESCINDING CERTAIN BUDGET AUTHORITY

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY

       The conferees agree to rescind $2,009,956,000 from fiscal 
     year 1993, 1994, and 1995 appropriations and make other 
     reductions of $250,000,000 in funds available to the 
     Department of Defense. The conference agreement on items in 
     conference is as follows:

                  reserve component automation system

       The Senate proposed to rescind $46,900,000 in the Other 
     Procurement, Army appropriation for the Reserve Component 
     Automation System. In February 1995 the Army conducted a 
     special review of the program which resulted in a proposal to 
     significantly change the system's architecture and caused a 
     temporary delay. The Army informed the conferees that given 
     these events, $33,700,000 is no longer needed to execute the 
     program during fiscal year 1995. The conferees agree to 
     rescind $12,100,000 in Other Procurement, Army; $15,400,000 
     in Operation and Maintenance, Army National Guard; and 
     $6,200,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Army Reserve. This 
     action should not be construed as either agreement or 
     disagreement with the Army's proposed restructure of the 
     program. The conferees have amended section 8025 of the 
     Department of Defense Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1995 
     to reflect this reduction.


                                suncgars

       The conferees recommend a rescission of $20,000,000 for the 
     SINCGARS radio in the ``Other Procurement, Army'' account. 
     These funds are available as a result of savings because of a 
     lower than projected per unit cost in a recent contract 
     award.


        armament retooling and manufacturing support initiative

       The conferees agree to rescind $85,000,000 for the Armament 
     Retooling and Manufacturing Support Initiative. The budget 
     submission requested that the expiring fiscal year 1993 funds 
     be made available to fix a funding shortfall for tank 
     ammunition in fiscal year 1996. The conferees do not believe 
     that fiscal year 1996 shortfalls should be funded with excess 
     funds from previous fiscal years. Although the conferees 
     support the multi-year tank ammunition contract, the budget 
     proposal does not comply with standard acquisition and budget 
     procedures. The conferees' decision to rescind the funds does 
     not prejudge any decision regarding programs that have 
     funding shortfalls in fiscal year 1996. The conferees would 
     consider a reprogramming request to continue the manufacture 
     of the 120mm armor piercing tank ammunition if it is 
     necessary to maintain production in fiscal year 1995. The 
     conferees understand that closing the existing production 
     line would greatly increase costs for this needed ammunition.


                           apache helicopter

       The conferees agree to rescind $34,411,000 for Apache-A 
     production. Of the available funds, $5,611,000 is only for 
     Apache engineering support and $37,589,000 is only for long 
     lead procurement for the Longbow Apache program.


                 national security education trust fund

       The conferees agree to rescind $75,000,000 of the amount 
     appropriated for the National Security Education Trust Fund 
     in Public Law 102-172. The intent of the conferees is to 
     reduce the corpus of the Fund by 50 percent.


                          classified programs

       The Senate proposed classified rescissions totalling 
     $60,100,000. The House proposed no such rescission. The 
     conferees agree to a reduction of $60,100,000 as discussion 
     in the Classified Report which accompanies this Statement of 
     the Managers.


                  former soviet union threat reduction

       The House rescinded a total of $80,000,000 originally 
     appropriated for housing, conversion projects, and the 
     Defense Enterprise Fund. The Senate proposed no such 
     reduction. The conferees agree to a reduction of $20,000,000.
                                  C-17

       The conferees agree to rescind $100,000,000 in fiscal year 
     1993 Air Force aircraft procurement funds from the C-17 
     program for engineering change orders. The recommendation is 
     made without prejudice as the Air Force has informed the 
     conferees that the funds could not be obligated before they 
     expired at the end of the fiscal year. The conferees have 
     also been informed by the Air Force that the C-17 program 
     office intends to use fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995 
     funds to implement the low cost engine nacelle modification 
     when the requirements are fully defined.


                                 SR-71

       Of the $100,000,000 appropriated for the SR-71 activation 
     in fiscal year 1995, the conferees agree to rescind 
     $27,500,000, and transfer $23,500,000 from Aircraft 
     Procurement, Air Force (APAF) 95/97 to Operation and 
     Maintenance, Air Force (OMAF) 95 as follows:

               guard and reserve miscellaneous equipment

       The conferees agree to a rescission of $30,000,000 for 
     Guard and Reserve miscellaneous equipment as proposed by the 
     House. The conferees agree that the $30,000,000 rescission is 
     to be allocated proportionally to the amount appropriated to 
     each of the Reserve Components for procurement of 
     miscellaneous equipment in fiscal year 1995.
                      hypersonic flight technology

       The conferees recommend a rescission of $25,000,000 from 
     the $45,000,000 appropriated in the Hypersonic Flight 
     Technology program funded in the Air Force fiscal year 1995 
     [[Page H4326]] Research, Development, Test and Evaluation 
     appropriation. The conferees endorse the Air Force's new 
     budget plan which requires $10,000,000 to close out the 
     Hypersonics Systems Technology (HySTP) program and 
     $10,000,000 to initiate a new technology program focused on 
     warfighter needs.


                       tactical support satellite

       The Senate proposed rescissions totaling $68,845,000 and 
     termination of the Tactical Support Satellite. The House 
     proposed no such action. The conferees agree with the Senate 
     recommendation.


                        rdt&e general reductions

       The conferees direct that general reductions to Science and 
     Technology, Experimental Evaluation of Major Innovative 
     Technologies, and Manufacturing Technology (ARPA) programs be 
     applied in a manner such that no disproportionate reduction 
     be made to any individual project within these program 
     elements.


                 defense finance and accounting service

       The conferees agree to rescind $50,000,000 from the 
     Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide account, and direct 
     the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to rebate 
     prices charged to Defense Agencies and the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense for accounting services provided in 
     fiscal year 1995 in order to reduce expected operating gains 
     by a like amount.


                       ballistic missile defense

       The conferees have restored funds for the National Test 
     Facility to avoid any negative impact on critical theater 
     missile defense (TMD) programs during the remainder of fiscal 
     year 1995. However, the conferees note the importance and 
     capabilities of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization's 
     (BMDO) Advanced Research Center (ARC) supercomputing 
     facility.
       The United States Army Space and Strategic Defense Command 
     (USASSDC) ARC in Alabama has proven to be a cost-effective 
     solution in the development, integration and testing of the 
     Army's missile defense programs. The ARC, in the opinion of 
     the conferees, has demonstrated that these cost effective 
     procedures in accomplishing the test and integration function 
     for the Army's missile defense programs can also be applied 
     to accomplish the integration and testing of BMDO systems.
       The mature simulation environment of the ARC has existing, 
     state-of-the-art component test beds within the facility 
     which are supporting space and theater missile defense 
     programs. Test beds included in the ARC are the Extended Air 
     Defense Test Bed (EADTB), Ground Based Radar Test Facility 
     (GBRTF), Missile Defense Data Center (MDDC), Integrated 
     System Test Capability (ISTC), TMD System Exerciser (TMD-SE), 
     and others which support space and missile defense tests and 
     integration. The ARC has secure communication links to the 
     other modern DoD test facilities through defense and 
     commercial networks that are required to conduct system 
     simulations and evaluations of BMDO systems.
       The conferees will work to ensure that the funds required 
     in fiscal year 1996 are available to make necessary upgrades 
     and facilitate the integration and testing of BMDO component 
     systems.
                              CHAPTER III

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY


                              coast guard

       The conferees have included a general provision which 
     appropriates $28,297,000 to the Department of Defense for 
     transfer to the Coast Guard to cover incremental operating 
     expenses associated with contingency operations.

    Federally Funded Research and Develop- ment Centers and Related 
                               Activities

       The conferees have modified the Senate proposal to revise 
     Section 8054(g) of the Department of Defense Appropriations 
     Act, 1995, to further reduce funding for defense federally 
     funded research and development centers (FFRDC's) and other 
     entities providing similar services.
       The conferees have modified the Senate language to allocate 
     the reductions in the revised Section 8054(g) among the 
     operation and maintenance, procurement, and research, 
     development, test and evaluation appropriations titles of the 
     underlying Act.
       The conferees also have added a subsection which modifies 
     Section 8054(h) of the underlying Act to allocate the 
     reduction in that subsection among the three titles.
       The conferees direct that none of the FFRDC's or the funds 
     allocated to the consultants and for-profit activities be 
     required to absorb a disproportionate share of the decreases 
     recommended in Subsections 8054(g) and (h) of the Act, as 
     amended.
       The conferees further approved a reporting requirement to 
     provide the Committees on Appropriations with the most 
     current information about the allocation of these reductions.
       Amendment No. 2: Inserts and amends Senate language which 
     limits the use of funds that can be used for emergency and 
     extraordinary expenses unless prior notification is submitted 
     to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate, 
     the House National Security Committee and the Senate Armed 
     Services Committee.
       Amendment No. 3: Inserts a new section number and retains a 
     provision proposed by the Senate. This provision prohibits 
     the expenditure of funds under this or any other Act to enter 
     into an agreement between the United States and Russia under 
     section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, until the 
     President certifies to Congress that Russia has satisfied 
     certain conditions regarding an agreement not to sell nuclear 
     reactor components to Iran. The House bill contained no 
     provision on this matter.
       Amendment No. 4: Deletes Senate language which expressed 
     the sense of the Senate that a member of the Armed Forces 
     sentenced by a court martial to confinement and a punitive 
     discharge or dismissal should not receive pay and allowances.
       Amendment No. 5: Deletes language proposed by the Senate, 
     and not addressed in the House bill, which contained 
     conditional fiscal year 1995 rescissions for certain military 
     construction projects relating to 1995 Base Closures and 
     Realignments, and inserts new language which prohibits the 
     obligation of funds for any new military construction or 
     family housing project at an installation proposed for 
     closure or realignment, and also inserts new language 
     rescinding a total of $100,600,000.
       Projects related to realignments are defined as projects 
     which are affected by the function or activity being 
     realigned. The prohibition on obligation of funds is in 
     effect unless the Congress enacts a Joint Resolution of 
     Disapproval in accordance with the Defense Base Closure and 
     Realignment Act of 1990, as amended (P.L. 101-510).
       The conferees note that while they support the intent of 
     the Senate amendment, in anticipation of savings due to the 
     1995 Base Closure and Realignments, general reductions 
     totaling $136.7 million were enacted in the Military 
     Construction Appropriations Act, 1995. The conferees are 
     committed to rescinding any additional savings at the 
     appropriate time during consideration of the fiscal year 1996 
     budget request.
       With regard to the recommended rescissions, the conferees 
     agree to rescind $75,500,000 from five appropriation accounts 
     as contained in Public Law 103-307, the Military Construction 
     Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1995. The appropriation 
     accounts and recommended rescission amounts for each account 
     are listed below:

Military Construction, Army..................................$3,500,000
Military Construction, Navy...................................3,500,000
Military Construction, Air Force..............................3,500,000
North Atlantic Treaty Organization Infrastructure............33,000,000
Base Realignment and Closure Account, Part III...............32,000,000
                                                       ________________

    Total....................................................75,500,000

       In addition, the conferees agree to rescind $25,100,000 
     from funds appropriated for Military Construction, Naval 
     Reserve in Public Law 102-136, the Military Construction 
     Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1992.
       The conference agreement includes a general reduction of 
     $3,500,000 for each of the Service accounts for military 
     construction. These amounts are to be applied to the 
     combination of project savings from favorable bids, reduced 
     overhead costs, and other cost reduction initiatives.
       With regard to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     Infrastructure account, the recommended rescission amount 
     reflects savings associated with deobligations due to 
     canceled projects, low bids, and reduction of project scope, 
     as well as NATO reimbursement for projects previously funded 
     with U.S. appropriated funds that are now NATO eligible.
       With regard to the Base Realignment and Closure Account, 
     Part III, the recommended rescission amount is based on 
     estimated savings as a result of the Secretary of Defense 
     recommendations to the Base Closure Commission for 1995 
     closures and realignments, which reflect changes to the 1993 
     closure and realignment decisions.
       With regard to the rescission of funds appropriated for 
     Military construction, Naval Reserve for fiscal year 1992, 
     the recommended rescission amount is based on the 
     cancellation of a project to provide C-130 support 
     facilities, which is no longer required.
       Amendment No. 6: Deletes a provision added by the Senate 
     expressing the sense of the Senate relating to South Korea's 
     nontariff barriers to United States beef and pork. The House 
     bill contained no provision on this matter.
       Amendment No. 7: Deletes a provision added by the Senate 
     expressing the sense of the Senate relating to the indefinite 
     extension of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The House bill 
     contained no provision on this matter.
       Amendment No. 8: Deletes Senate language which expressed 
     the sense of the Senate concerning the importance of the 
     National Test Facility.
       Amendment No. 9: Inserts and amends Senate language which 
     provides that the rescission from the Environmental 
     Restoration, Defense account shall not be allocated in excess 
     of a proportionate share to installations that are 
     recommended for closure or realignment in 1995.
       Inserts a new provision which makes necessary technical 
     adjustments in order to make available to the Air Force up to 
     $76,900,000 in funds received from NASA as reimbursement for 
     TITAN IV-related costs in support of the NASA Cassini 
     mission.
       [[Page H4327]] Insert a new provision which amends the 
     Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1995 to reduce the 
     funds available for the Reserve Component Automation System.
       Inserts a new provision which rescinds $100,000,000 from 
     unobligated procurement balances that expire at the end of 
     fiscal year 1995.

                         debt relief for jordan

       Amendment No. 10: Deletes language proposed by the Senate 
     that would have provided $275,000,000 for debt relief for 
     Jordan, of which not more than $50,000,000 could be obligated 
     prior to October 1, 1995.
       The conferees agree not to include supplemental funding for 
     restructuring Jordanian debt to the U.S. government, but it 
     is the full intention to propose an appropriation of 
     $275,000,000 for this purpose in H.R. 1158 under 
     consideration in the Senate at the time of the conference. 
     The conferees confirm that they support fully the President's 
     commitment to King Hussein to restructure Jordan's debt in 
     support of the October 1994 peace agreement between Jordan 
     and Israel. Should appropriation of these funds fail to be 
     enacted as part of H.R. 1158, the conferees recommend that 
     funding for this purpose be included in the regular fiscal 
     year 1996 Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
     Programs Appropriations Act.


                palestinian-israeli cooperation project

       In reports by both the House and Senate Appropriations 
     Committees which accompanied the FY 1994 and FY 1995 Foreign 
     Operations bills, strong support was expressed for funding of 
     the educational, cultural, and humanitarian activities 
     financed through the Palestinian-Israeli Cooperation Project. 
     The Agency for International Development continues to ignore 
     this expression of support.
       Once again the conferees urge that AID commit funds to this 
     project.

     contained no similar appropriation. The agreement also 
     inserts a title designation, as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees agree to provide $21,500,000 for capital 
     grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation 
     (Amtrak) to address emergency safety-related needs at the 
     existing Pennsylvania Station in New York City. These funds

       Amendment No. 12: Rescinds $180,000,000 from five accounts, 
     instead of $177,000,000 from two accounts as proposed by the 
     House, and the same amount from eight accounts as proposed by 
     the Senate, distributed as follows:

     instead of $107,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $32,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
            National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

                  Operations, Research and Facilities

       Deletes a rescission of $2,500,000 from the Operations, 
     Research and Facilities account of the National Oceanic and 
     Atmospheric Administration proposed by the Senate. The House 
     bill contained no provision on this matter.

                   Information Infrastructure Grants

       Rescinds $15,000,000 from National Telecommunications and 
     Information Administration Information Infrastructure Grants, 
     instead of $34,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     bill contained no provision on this matter.

       Rescinds $15,000,000 for tree-planting grants from Small

     the Senate. The House bill contained no provision on this 
     matter.

               payment to the legal services corporation

       Rescinds $15,000,000 from the Legal Services Corporation, 
     as proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no 
     provision on this matter.
       The conferees agree that, to the maximum extent possible, 
     these funds should be taken from programs that do not provide 
     direct legal services to individuals.

       The conferees recommend a rescission of $200,000,000 from 
     funds appropriated for fiscal year 1995 and unobligated 
     balances carried forward into fiscal year 1995. To the extent 
     possible, these reductions should be taken against low 
     priority, noncritical work and not direct cleanup activities, 
     or activities which do not support the safe and cost-
     effective operation and management of Department of Energy 
     waste management facilities.
       This recommendation includes the $100,000,000 which was 
     originally proposed in H.R. 889 by both the House and the 
     Senate, and $100,000,000 of the $113,000,000 rescission for 
     defense environmental restoration and waste management which 
     has been proposed by the Senate during consideration of H.R.

     Corps of Engineers to initiate and complete remedial measures 
     to prevent slope instability at Hickman Bluff, Kentucky, 
     utilizing $3,000,000 appropriated in the Fiscal Year 1995

       Amendment No. 14: Rescinds $60,000,000 from the U.S. 
     contribution to the International Development Association 
     instead of $70,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     did not address this matter.

                  funds appropriated to the president

                  agency for international development

       Amendment No. 15: Rescinds $7,500,000 from funds made 
     available in fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995 for 
     assistance to the New Independent States of the Former Soviet 
     Union. In addition, the conference agreement reallocates 
     $15,000,000 from the funds provided for Russian officer 
     housing in Public Law 103-87 for aid to the New Independent 
     States with the exception of Russia. The House had proposed a 
     rescission of $110,000,000 from funds provided for Russian 
     officer housing. The Senate amendment struck the House 
     language and proposed certain rescissions described below.
       The conference agreement also rescinds $12,500,000 from 
     ``Development assistance fund'' from appropriations provided 
     in Public Law 103-306 and prior appropriations acts. The 
     Senate had proposed a rescission of $13,000,000 from this 
     account, as well as $9,000,000 from fiscal year 1994 and 1995 
     appropriations for ``Assistance for Eastern Europe and the 
     Baltic States'', and $18,000,000 from fiscal year 1994 and 
     1995 appropriations for ``Assistance for the New Independent 
     States of the Former Soviet Union'' of which not less than 
     $12,000,000 would have come from funds allocated for Russia. 
     The House bill did not contain provisions on these matters.

                          resource management

       Amendment No. 16: Includes a rescission of $1,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate of funding available to the Fish and 
     Wildlife Service for activities involving the listing of 
     endangered species and the designation of critical habitat. 
     The provision also prohibits the Fish and Wildlife Service 
     from using other funds to make final listings or critical 
     habitat designations. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.
       The conferees note that this provision has been adopted 
     only to provide a brief ``time out'' from the Endangered 
     Species Act listings and critical habitat designations. The 
     managers will review the issue without prejudice. The 
     Endangered Species Act expired in 1992, and its 
     reauthorization is long overdue. The conferees fully expect 
     the appropriate committees to continue their efforts to 
     develop and pass a reauthorization bill.

       Amendment No. 17: The conference agreement rescinds 
     $65,000,000 from the Education Infrastructure program as 
     requested by the President. The House recommended a 
     $100,000,000 rescission; the Senate included no rescission 
     for this program.
       The agreement also rescinds $35,000,000 from unobligated 
     funds appropriated in FY 1994 for the Pell Grant program. The 
     Senate bill included a rescission of $100,000,000 for this 
     purpose; the House bill included no rescission from this 
     account.

       Amendment No. 18: Rescinds $35,000,000 from facilities and 
     equipment of the Federal Aviation Administration, and 
     rescinds $12,004,450 of appropriated balances available for 
     miscellaneous highway demonstration projects provided in 
     Public Laws 93-87, 98-8, 98-473, and 100-71 as proposed by 
     the Senate. The House bill contained no such provisions, but 
     included a similar provision rescinding $35,000,000 from 
     facilities and equipment of the Federal Aviation 
     Administration in H.R. 1158. The conference agreement 
     rescinds $35,000,000 of funds provided for the advanced 
     automation system of the Federal Aviation Administration.
       The conference agreement also deletes the Senate 
     rescissions of $139,948,000 of unobligated contract authority 
     from highway demonstration projects that received funding in 
     Public Laws 97-424 and 100-17. The House bill contained no 
     similar proposals.

                    Federal Railroad Administration


                     Local Rail Freight Assistance

       Amendment No. 19: Rescinds $6,563,000 for the local rail 
     freight assistance program, instead of $13,126,000 as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate bill contained no similar 
     provision.

               Pennsylvania Station Redevelopment Project

       Amendment No. 20: Rescinds $40,000,000 for the Pennsylvania 
     Station redevelopment project as proposed by the House. The 
     Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The conferees agree that this action is taken without 
     prejudice to the advancement of the project to redevelop the 
     James A. Farley Post Office Building as a train station and 
     commercial center in New York City. The project is 
     unauthorized; however, the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations will consider any subsequent requests for 
     funds once authorized. The conference agreement includes 
     $21,500,000 for capital grants to the National Railroad 
     Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) under amendment number 11 to 
     address emergency safety-related needs at the existing 
     Pennsylvania Station in New York City.

       Amendment No. 21: Adds language under the Environmental 
     Protection Agency, Administrative Provision, regarding 
     Federal and State Implementation Plans under section 110(e) 
     of the Clean Air Act. Provides for no rescission of funding 
     for National Aeronautical Facilities as proposed by the 
     Senate instead of $400,000,000 as proposed by the House, and 
     adds language extending the availability of funds previously 
     appropriated for this purpose.


                      epa administrative provision

       The conferees have included bill language which clarifies 
     that any Federal implementation plan promulgated for three 
     areas of California pursuant to section 110(e) of the Clean 
     Air Act shall have no further force and effect, thus removing 
     the cloud which exists as a result of having a promulgated 
     but non-enforced Federal implementation plan in effect at the 
     same time a State implementation plan is undergoing the 
     approval process by the Environmental Protection Agency.


                      national wind tunnel complex

       The conferees agree to no rescission of funds provided in 
     the fiscal year 1995 appropriations Act for the Departments 
     of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and 
     Independent Agencies (P.L. 103-327) for the National Wind 
     Tunnel Complex. Language is included which extends the 
     availability of $400,000,000 to September 30, 1997. However, 
     no more than $35,000,000 may be obligated prior to October 1, 
     1996.
       The conferees agree that NASA may use $35,000,000 to 
     achieve completion of the Phase I study of wind tunnel needs 
     and requirements. It is the understanding of the conferees 
     that a portion of the study will identify site selection 
     criteria and a short list of locations which would meet the 
     requirements.
       The conferees are concerned with the state of the nation's 
     wind tunnel infrastructure and encouraged that industry and 
     NASA are jointly interested in finding a solution to the lack 
     of adequate facilities. All the same, the conferees realize 
     that the solution must include significant industry financial 
     participation. Therefore, any decision by the Congress to 
     move beyond the Phase I study is contingent upon NASA 
     executing a Memorandum of Agreement with both the Department 
     of Defense and the U.S. aviation industry, both commercial 
     and military, regarding cost shares for construction and 
     utilization of the complex. The conferees agree that 
     industry's share of the total cost should be both substantial 
     and appropriate, and NASA is to report to the Appropriations 
     Committees of the House and Senate what that level of 
     contribution should be.

                                Title IV

                  Mexican Debt Disclosure Act of 1995

       Amendment No. 24: Inserts new language, similar to the 
     Senate amendment, entitled ``Mexican Debt Disclosure Act of 
     1995''. The conference agreement differs from the Senate 
     amendment in several respects:
       1. The agreement modifies section 403 to require the 
     President to transmit a report to the appropriate committees 
     of the Congress, not later than June 30, 1995, and every six 
     months thereafter, regarding all guarantees issued to, and 
     short-term and long-term currency swaps with, the Government 
     of Mexico. Such reports are required to include details on 
     changes in wage, price, and credit control in the Mexican 
     economy; on changes in taxation policy of Mexico; on specific 
     actions taken by Mexico to privatize the economy; on actions 
     taken by Mexico to develop a regulatory policy that 
     significantly affects the performance of the Mexican economy; 
     on consultations between the United States and Mexico 
     concerning the program approved by the President and 
     conclusions resulting from periodic reviews undertaken by the 
     International Monetary Fund; on all outstanding loans, 
     credits, and guarantees provided to the Government of Mexico 
     by United States agencies; and on the progress made by Mexico 
     in stabilizing the peso and establishing an independent 
     central bank or currency board.
       2. The agreement includes a new section 404 that requires 
     monthly reports from the Secretary of the Treasury concerning 
     all guarantees issued to, and short-term and long-term 
     currency swaps with, the Government of Mexico. Such reports 
     are required to include details on the current condition of 
     the Mexican economy; the reserve portions of the central bank 
     of Mexico and data relating to Mexican monetary policy; the 
     amount of funds disbursed from the exchange stabilization 
     fund pursuant to the assistance pledged by the President to 
     Mexico; the amount of any funds disbursed by the Board of 
     Governors of the Federal Reserve System; guarantees issued 
     to, and currency swaps engaged with, Mexico by either the 
     Department of Treasury or the Federal Reserve System; and the 
     interest rates and fees charged to compensate the Secretary 
     of Treasury for the risk of providing financing.
       3. The agreement includes a new section 405 that terminates 
     the reporting requirements of section 403 and 404 on the date 
     the Mexican Government has paid all obligations incurred in 
     connection with the program of assistance approved by the 
     President on January 31, 1995.
       4. The agreement includes a new section 406 that requires a 
     certification by the President to the appropriate committees 
     of the Congress prior to the extension or further utilization 
     of any loan, credit, guarantee, or 
     [[Page H4329]] currency swap through the exchange 
     stabilization fund or the Federal Reserve System, beyond 
     those already in effect, that there is no projected cost (as 
     defined in the Credit Reform Act of 1990) to the United 
     States from the action; that such loans, credits, guarantees 
     or currency swaps are adequately backed to ensure repayment; 
     that the Mexican government is making progress in developing 
     an independent bank or an independent currency control 
     mechanism; that Mexico has in effect a significant economic 
     reform effort; and that the President has provided the 
     documents described in paragraphs (1) through (28) of House 
     Resolution 80 as adopted on March 1, 1995. For the purposes 
     of the final certification, any classified documents that may 
     not have been produced to the House of Representatives would 
     be produced to certain specified Members of Congress.
       5. The agreement modifies the definition of ``appropriate 
     congressional committees'' to include the Committees on 
     Appropriations of the House and Senate, and includes a 
     definition for the term ``exchange stabilization fund'' as 
     stated in section 5302(a)(1) of title 31, United States Code.
       The House bill contained no provision on this matter.
       Amendment No. 25: Restores the citation of the House passed 
     bill in lieu of the one proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement restores the title of the House 
     passed bill in lieu of the one proposed by the Senate.
