  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
  The amendment (No. 1788) was agreed to.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, today, the Senate will be voting on the 
passage of the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 which 
will eliminate and modify over 200 outdated or unnecessary 
congressionally mandated reporting requirements and will also place a 
sunset on those reports with an annual, semiannual, or other regular 
periodic reporting requirement 4 years after the bill's enactment. The 
passage of this piece of legislation will help to improve the 
efficiency of agency operations by reducing staff time in and resources 
spent on producing unnecessary reports to Congress.
  The Congressional Budget Office estimates that enactment of this 
legislation could result in savings of up to $5 to $10 million even 
without factoring in the savings from the sunset provision.
  The legislation that we will be voting on today is similar to the 
bill Senator Cohen and I introduced last year, S. 2156. That bill 
contained nearly 300 recommendations for eliminations or modifications, 
and was the product of an extensive process that started with 
recommendations from executive and independent agencies. Senator Cohen 
and I wrote to all 89 executive and independent agencies and asked that 
they identify reports required by law that they believe are no longer 
necessary or useful and, therefore, that could be eliminated or 
modified. We stressed the importance of a clear and substantiated 
justification for each recommendation made.
  S. 2156 was unanimously approved by the Governmental Affairs 
Committee on August 2, 1994. Senators Glenn, Roth, Stevens, and McCain 
cosponsored the bill. Unfortunately, the Senate was unable
 to act on the bill before 

[[Page S 10168]]
the close of the 103d Congress. But I am more hopeful that both Houses 
of Congress will pass this very timely piece of legislation this year.

  In March 1995, the Senate agreed to include the language for S. 2156 
in the form of two separate amendments to S. 244, the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. The amendments, however, were struck in 
conference. But the chairman of the House Committee on Government 
Reform and Oversight--Representative William Clinger--proposed to 
combine and introduce the amendments as a free-standing piece of 
legislation in the House of Representatives. The Senate also decided to 
combine the amendments into our piece of legislation--S. 790--and 
placed directly onto the Senate Calendar for immediate consideration 
since the language had previously been approved as amendments.
  S. 790 will eliminate 157 reports and modify 59 reports. The 
legislation also includes a modified version of Senator McCain's sunset 
provision which will eliminate those reports with an annual, semi-
annual, or regular periodic reporting basis 4 years after the bill's 
enactment, while allowing Members of Congress to reauthorize those 
reports it deems necessary in carrying out effective Congressional 
oversight. the sunset provision does not apply to any reports required 
under the Inspector General Act of 1978 or the Chief Financial Officers 
Act of 1990.
  The House of Representatives circulated its reports elimination and 
sunset companion bill to all of its appropriate committees in order to 
receive their input on the items slated for elimination and 
modification. Since that time, the House has requested several minor 
changes--the overwhelming majority of which are technical, having no 
effect whatsoever on those items being eliminated and modified. For 
example, a certain legal cite had to be corrected. In other cases, the 
House requested that certain reports selected for elimination be kept 
in order to conduct proper oversight functions. The House has also 
requested the elimination of five additional Department of Energy 
reports beyond those listed in S. 790. The Senate Committee on Energy 
and Natural Resources--both the majority and minority sides--concurred 
with the House on this matter. On the Senate side, one report slated 
for elimination was reinstated. As of this moment, the language for the 
Senate and House bills are identical.
  Both the Senate and House of Representatives are ready to eliminate 
those reports that are never or are simply dropped into file cabinets 
and wastebaskets, never to be seen again. In this era, we must ensure 
that our scarce resources are utilized efficiently toward productive 
activities. I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan piece of 
legislation.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. If there is no objection, the bill is deemed 
read the third time, and passed.
  So the bill (S. 790), as amended, was passed, as follows:
                                 S. 790

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,
