Community Services Block Grant Act to reauthorize and make improvements 
to those Acts, to establish demonstration projects that provide an 
opportunity for persons with limited means to accumulate assets, and 
for other purposes,'' requests a conference with the House on the 
disagreeing votes of the two Houses thereon, and appoints Mr. Jeffords,
