     Act''.
       (b) The Congress finds that--

     minors;
       (10) reliable studies indicate that tobacco use is a 
     gateway to illicit drug use; and

     in ensuring that the use of tobacco products among minors is 
     discouraged to the maximum extent possible.

       (1) the term ``Federal agency'' means--
       (A) an Executive agency as defined in section 105 of title

     Administrator or such agency head.
       (2) The Administrator of General Services or the head of an 
     agency, as appropriate, may designate areas not subject to 
     the provisions of paragraph (1), if such area also prohibits 
     the presence of minors.
       (3) The provisions of this subsection shall be carried 
     out--
       (A) by the Administrator of General Services for any 
     Federal building which is maintained, leased, or has title of 
     ownership vested in the General Services Administration; or

     building which is maintained, leased, or has title of 
     ownership vested in such agency.
       (e) No later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Administrator of General Services and each head 
     of an agency shall prepare and submit, to the appropriate

     agency is in compliance with this section; and
       (2) a detailed list of the location of all tobacco product 
     vending machines located in Federal buildings under the

     Administration and the House of Representatives Committee on 
     House Administration, after consultation with the Architect 
     of the Capitol, shall promulgate regulations under the Senate 
     and House of Representatives rulemaking authority that 
     prohibit the sale of tobacco products in vending machines in 
     the Capitol Buildings.
       (2) Such committees may designate areas where such 
     prohibition shall not apply, if such area also prohibits the 
     presence of minors.
       (3) For the purpose of this section the term ``Capitol

     defined under section 16(a)(1) of the Act entitled ``An Act 
     to define the area of the United States Capitol Grounds, to 
     regulate the use thereof, and for other purposes'', approved 
     July 31, 1946 (40 U.S.C. 193m(1)).
       (g) Nothing in this section shall be construed as

                                 ______


             SHELBY (AND KERREY) AMENDMENTS NOS. 2241-2242

  Mr. SHELBY (for himself and Mr. Kerrey) proposed two amendments to 
the bill H.R. 2020, supra; as follows:

                           Amendment No. 2241

       At the appropriate place, insert the following new section:

     SEC.   . NATIONAL COMMISSION ON RESTRUCTURING THE INTERNAL 
                   REVENUE SERVICE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) While the budget for the Internal Revenue Service 
     (hereafter referred to as the ``IRS'') has risen from $2.5 
     billion in fiscal year 1979 to $7.5 billion in fiscal year 
     1996, tax returns processing has not become significantly 
     faster, tax collection rates have not significantly 
     increased, and the accuracy and timeliness of taxpayer 
     assistance has not significantly improved.
       (2) To date, the Tax Systems Modernization (TSM) program 
     has cost the taxpayers $2.5 billion, with an estimated cost 
     of $8 billion. Despite this investment, modernization efforts 
     were recently described by the GAO as ``chaotic'' and ``ad 
     hoc''.
       (3) While the IRS maintains that TSM will increase 
     efficiency and thus revenues, Congress has had to appropriate 
     additional funds in recent years for compliance initiatives 
     in order to increase tax revenues.
       (4) Because TSM has not been implemented, the IRS continues 
     to rely on paper returns, processing a total of 14 billion 
     pieces of paper every tax season. This results in an 
     extremely inefficient system.
       (5) This lack of efficiency reduces the level of customer 
     service and impedes the ability of the IRS to collect 
     revenue.
       (6) The present status of the IRS shows the need for the 
     establishment of a Commission which will examine the 
     organization of IRS and recommend actions to expedite the 
     implementation of TSM and improve service to taxpayers.
       (b) Composition of the Commission.--
       (1) Establishment.--To carry out the purposes of this 
     section, there is established a National Commission on 
     Restructuring the Internal Revenue Service (in this section 
     referred to as the ``Commission'').
       (2) Composition.--The Commission shall be composed of 
     twelve members, as follows:
       (A) Four members appointed by the President, two from the 
     executive branch of the Government and two from private life.
       (B) Two members appointed by the Majority Leader of the 
     Senate, one from Members of the Senate and one from private 
     life.
       (C) Two members appointed by the Minority Leader of the 
     Senate, one from Members of the Senate and one from private 
     life.
       (D) Two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives, one from Members of the House of 
     Representatives and one from private life.
       (E) Two members appointed by the Minority Leader of the 
     House of Representatives, one from Members of the House of 
     Representatives and one from private life.
     The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service shall be an 
     ex officio member of the Commission.
       (3) Chairman.--The Commission shall elect a Chairman from 
     among its members.
       (4) Meeting; quorum; vacancies.--After its initial meeting, 
     the Commission shall meet upon the call of the Chairman or a 
     majority of its members. Seven members of the Commission 
     shall constitute a quorum. Any vacancy in the Commission 
     shall not affect its powers, but shall be filled in the same 
     manner in which the original appointment was made.
       (5) Appointment; initial meeting.--
       (A) Appointment.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
     members of the Committee should be appointed not more than 60 
     days after the date of the enactment of this section.
       (B) Initial meeting.--If, after 60 days from the date of 
     the enactment of this section, seven or more members of the 
     Commission have been appointed, members who have been 
     appointed may meet and select a Chairman who thereafter shall 
     have the authority to begin the operations of the Commission, 
     including the hiring of staff.
       (c) Functions of Commission.--
       (1) In general.--The functions of the Commission shall be--
       (A) to conduct, for a period of one year from the date of 
     its first meeting, the review described in paragraph (2), and

     the IRS.

       (vi) changing the culture of the IRS to make the 
     organization more efficient, productive, and customer-
     oriented;
       (C) whether the IRS could be replaced with a quasi-
     governmental agency with tangible incentives for internally 
     managing its programs and activities and for modernizing its 
     activities, and
       (D) whether the IRS could perform other collection, 
     information, and financial service functions of the Federal

       It is the Sense of the Senate that:
       The General Service Administration and the Federal Aviation 
     Administration should review and reform current personnel 
     rules and labor agreements regarding federal assistance when 
     relocating because of a change of duty station.
       The Senate is concerned about reports that, under FAA and 
     GSA rules, employees at the Denver, Colorado ATCT and TRACON 
     were permitted to claim personal housing relocation 
     allowances in connection with their transfer from FAA 
     facilities at Stapleton Field to the new Denver International 
     Airport, even in some cases where an employee's new home was 
     farther from the new job site that the employee's former 
     home.
       The FAA should immediately investigate this misuse of 
     public funds at Denver International Airport and reform their 
     personnel rules to end this kind of abuse.
