(Rept. No. 109-647) on the resolution (H. Res. 997) providing for 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 2965) to amend title 18, United States 
Code, to require Federal Prison Industries to compete for its contracts 
minimizing its unfair competition with private sector firms and their 
non-inmate workers and empowering Federal agencies to get the best 
value for taxpayers' dollars, to provide a five-year period during 
which Federal Prison Industries adjusts to obtaining inmate work 
opportunities through other than its mandatory source status, to 
enhance inmate access to remedial and vocational opportunities and 
other rehabilitative opportunities to better prepare inmates for a 
successful return to society, to authorize alternative inmate work 
opportunities in support of non-profit organizations and other public 
service programs, and for other purposes, which was referred to the 
House Calendar and ordered to be printed.
