  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from

  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California (Mr. Horn).


                             General Leave

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may 
have the remaining legislative days to revise and extend their remarks 
on S. 1364, as amended.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, over the years, Congress has placed numerous reporting 
requirements on Federal agencies. This has resulted in a flood of paper 
pouring into Congress, hundreds of Federal reports every month.
  Many of these reports are quite useful, even critical to advise 
Congress and its Members of the status of Federal programs and to 
inform legislative and funding decisions.
  Other reports, however, sit on our committee shelves collecting dust 
or are thrown away unread because they are outdated or they are useless 
to the current work of Congress.
  This, Mr. Speaker, is a needless waste of taxpayer money and, I might 
add, a needless waste of our forests in the Northwest, Southeast, and 
Northeast. It is better to have trees living than piles and miles of 
dead paper.
  The purpose of S. 1364, the Federal Reports Elimination Act of 1998, 
is to eliminate or modify congressionally mandated Federal agency 
reports that are redundant, obsolete, or otherwise unnecessary.
  After the Senate bill was thoroughly scrutinized by every House 
committee, a very laborious process that took all summer, we are 
pleased to put forward a modified bill that consists of 132 reports 
slated for elimination or modification. I thank the other committees 
for their cooperation. The result is one of which we can all be proud.
  The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that efficiencies 
created with this bill will result in saving millions of Federal 
taxpayer dollars over the next 5 years. I might add that the 
Congressional Budget Office does not count trees, but we are also going 
to save thousands of trees as a result of this legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, this is common sense, money saving legislation. I urge 
my colleagues to give this measure their full support.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

[[Page H10716]]

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to support the amendment and 
passage of the Federal Reports Elimination Act of 1998. I want to 
congratulate Senator McCain and Senator Levin for their hard work and 
persistence in bringing this bill to the floor.
  I also commend the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight for the bipartisan spirit 
with which we address this bill in the House.
  Mr. Speaker, this is not a glamorous piece of legislation. I suspect 
it will not be in tomorrow's newspapers. As a matter of fact, when it 
was announced by the Clerk, I think the gallery was cleared out. But it 
is a necessary part of our responsibility as legislators.
  Every Congress, we authorize hundreds of reports. Few of those 
reports are terminated in the authorizing legislation, and yet we 
rarely go back and ask which reports are still needed.
  As a result, each year, hundreds of Federal employees spend thousands 
of hours writing reports that get sent through Congress to the 
recycling bin. Many are never opened. Today we are making an effort to 
end some of that waste and to set free so many of our Federal employees 
from these kinds of tasks.
  This legislation has asked the difficult question: Which of the many 
reports authorized by Congress are still needed? Today, by passing this 
legislation, we will eliminate almost 200 reports, saving almost $1 
million in 1999 and almost a half a million dollars each year 
thereafter.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  (Mr. HORN asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks and to include extraneous material.)
  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, while culling through scores and scores of 
reports is a cumbersome and time-consuming process for Congress, 
efforts such as this are necessary to reduce the Federal paperwork 
burden and streamline the information flowing from the agencies to 
Congress.
  S. 1364, as amended, represents one of the many ways this Congress 
has tried to reduce wasteful spending and to be more accountable to the 
taxpayers.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks 
and to include extraneous material, at this point in the Record.
