       Sec. 636. (a) Congress finds that--
       (1) the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (in 
     this section referred to as the ``VFW''), which was formed by

       (2) members of the VFW have fought, bled, and died in every 
     war, conflict, police action, and military intervention in 
     which the United States has engaged during this century;
       (3) over its history, the VFW has ably represented the 
     interests of veterans in Congress and State Legislatures 
     across the Nation and established a network of trained 
     service officers who, at no charge, have helped millions of 
     veterans and their dependents to secure the education, 
     disability compensation, pension, and health care benefits 
     they are rightfully entitled to receive as a result of the 
     military service performed by those veterans:

[[Page 15678]]

       (4) the VFW has also been deeply involved in national

     States.

     the Act of December 22, 1987 (40 U.S.C. 490b), an Executive 
     agency that provides or proposes to provide child care 
     services for Federal employees may use agency funds to 
     provide the child care services, in a facility that is owned 
     or leased by an Executive agency, or through a contractor, 
     for civilian employees of the agency.
       (b) Affordability.--Funds so used with respect to any such 
     facility or contractor shall be applied to improve the 
     affordability of child care for lower income Federal 
     employees using or seeking to use the child care services 
     offered by the facility or contractor.

     contractors; or
       ``(B) dependent children who live with Federal employees or

       ``(3) the officer or agency determines that the individual 
     or entity will give priority for available child care and 
     related services in the space to Federal employees and onsite 
     Federal contractors.''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(e)(1)(A) The Administrator of General Services shall 
     confirm that at least 50 percent of aggregate enrollment in 
     Federal child care centers governmentwide are children of

     contractors.
       ``(B) Each provider of child care services at an individual 
     Federal child care center shall maintain 50 percent of the

     subparagraph (A) as a goal for enrollment at the center.
       ``(C)(i) If enrollment at a center does not meet the 
     percentage goal under subparagraph (B), the provider shall 
     develop and implement a business plan with the sponsoring 
     Federal agency to achieve the goal within a reasonable 
     timeframe.
       ``(ii) The plan shall be approved by the Administrator of

     Federal enrollment percentage goal.
       ``(2) The Administrator of General Services Administration 
     may enter into public-private partnerships or contracts with 
     nongovernmental entities to increase the capacity, quality, 
     affordability, or range of child care and related services 
     and may, on a demonstration basis, waive subsection (a)(3) 
     and paragraph (1) of this subsection.''.
       (b) Payment of Costs of Training Programs.--Section 
     616(b)(3) of such Act (40 U.S.C. 490b(b)(3)) is amended to 
     read as follows:
       ``(3) If a Federal agency has a child care facility in a 
     Federal space, or is a sponsoring agency for a child care 
     facility in a Federal space, the agency or the General 
     Services Administration may pay accreditation fees, including 
     renewal fees, for that center to be accredited. Any Federal 
     agency that provides or proposes to provide child care 
     services for children referred to in subsection (a)(2), may 
     reimburse any Federal employee or any person employed to 
     provide the services for the costs of training programs, 
     conferences, and meetings and related travel, transportation, 
     and subsistence expenses incurred in connection with those 
     activities. Any per diem allowance made under this section 
     shall not exceed the rate specified in regulations prescribed 
     under section 5707 of title 5, United States Code.''.
       (c) Technical and Conforming Amendments.--Section 616(c) of 
     such Act (40 U.S.C. 490b(c)) is amended--
       (1) by inserting ``Federal'' before ``child care centers''; 
     and
       (2) by striking ``Federal workers'' and inserting ``Federal 
     employees''.
       (d) Provision of Child Care by Private Entities.--Section 
     616(d) of such Act (40 U.S.C. 490b(d)) is amended to read as 
     follows:
       ``(d)(1) If a Federal agency has a child care facility in a 
     Federal space, or is a sponsoring agency for a child care 
     facility in a Federal space, the agency, the child care 
     center board of directors, or the General Services 
     Administration may enter into an agreement with 1 or more 
     private entities under which the private entities would 
     assist in defraying the general operating expenses of the 
     child care providers including salaries and tuition 
     assistance programs at the facility.
       ``(2)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a 
     Federal agency does not have a child care program, or if the 
     Administrator of General Services has identified a need for 
     child care for Federal employees at a Federal agency 
     providing child care services that do not meet the 
     requirements of subsection (a), the agency or the 
     Administrator may enter into an agreement with a non-Federal, 
     licensed, and accredited child care facility, or a planned 
     child care facility that will become licensed and accredited, 
     for the provision of child care services for children of 
     Federal employees.
       ``(B) Before entering into an agreement, the head of the 
     Federal agency shall determine that child care services to be 
     provided through the agreement are more cost effectively 
     provided through the arrangement than through establishment 
     of a Federal child care facility.
       ``(C) The Federal agency may provide any of the services 
     described in subsection (b)(3) if, in exchange for the 
     services, the facility reserves child care spaces for 
     children referred to in subsection (a)(2), as agreed to by 
     the parties. The cost of any such services provided by a 
     Federal agency to a Federal child care facility on behalf of 
     another Federal agency shall be reimbursed by the receiving 
     agency.
       ``(3) This subsection does not apply to residential child 
     care programs.''.
       (e) Pilot Projects.--Section 616 of such Act (40 U.S.C. 
     490b) is further amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(f)(1) Upon approval of the agency head, a Federal agency 
     may conduct a pilot project not otherwise authorized by law 
     for no more than 2 years to test innovative approaches to 
     providing alternative forms of quality child care assistance 
     for Federal employees. A Federal agency head may extend a 
     pilot project for an additional 2-year period. Before any 
     pilot project may be implemented, a determination shall be 
     made by the agency head that initiating the pilot project 
     would be more cost-effective than establishing a new Federal 
     child care facility. Costs of any pilot project shall be paid 
     solely by the agency conducting the pilot project.
       ``(2) The Administrator of General Services shall serve as 
     an information clearinghouse for pilot projects initiated by 
     other Federal agencies to disseminate information concerning 
     the pilot projects to the other Federal agencies.
       ``(3) Within 6 months after completion of the initial 2-
     year pilot project period, a Federal agency conducting a 
     pilot project under this subsection shall provide for an 
     evaluation of the impact of the project on the delivery of 
     child care services to Federal employees, and shall submit 
     the results of the evaluation to the Administrator of General 
     Services. The Administrator shall share the results with 
     other Federal agencies.''.
       (f) Background Check.--Section 616 of such Act (40 U.S.C. 
     490b) is further amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(g) Each Federal child care center located in a Federal 
     space shall ensure that each employee of the center 
     (including any employee whose employment began before the 
     date of enactment of this subsection) shall undergo a 
     criminal history background check consistent with section 231 
     of the Crime Control Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 13041).''.
       (g) Definitions.--Section 616 of such Act (40 U.S.C. 490b) 
     is further amended by adding at the end the following:
       ``(h) In this section:
       ``(1) The term `Federal agency' has the meaning given the 
     term `Executive agency' in section 702 of the Federal 
     Employees Child Care Act.
       ``(2) The terms `Federal building' and `Federal space' have 
     the meanings given the term `executive facility' in such 
     section 702.
       ``(3) The term `Federal child care center' means a child 
     care center in an executive facility, as defined in such 
     section 702.
       ``(4) The terms `Federal contractor' and `Federal employee' 
     mean a contractor and an employee, respectively, of an 
     Executive agency, as defined in such section 702.''.
       This Act may be cited as the ``Treasury and General 
     Government Appropriations Act, 2000''.
