       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the

[[Page 16525]]

     amendments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 4516) making 
     appropriations for the Legislative Branch for the fiscal year 
     ending September 30, 2001, and for other purposes, submit the 
     following joint statement to the House and Senate in 
     explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the 
     managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
     report.
       The Senate amended the House bill with four numbered 
     amendments. The conference agreement addresses all the 
     differences contained in the four amendments in the 
     disposition of the first numbered amendment. The first 
     numbered amendment therefore includes a complete version of 
     the Legislative Branch bill plus all other legislation 
     included in this conference report. An explanation of the 
     resolution of the differences of the other three numbered 
     amendments is included in the first numbered amendment. The 
     disposition of the other three numbered amendments therefore 
     is purely technical in nature to enable the complete bill 
     text to be included in the first amendment.
       In addition to the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 
     2001, the conference agreement also enacts the Treasury and 
     General Government Appropriations Act, 2001, by reference, 
     and provisions dealing with the repeal of certain telephone 
     taxes. These additional pieces of legislation are included 
     within amendment number 1 as Division B. The Legislative 
     Branch Appropriations Act, 2001, is designated as Division A 
     within amendment number 1. An explanation of the matter in 
     Division B is included in this statement under amendment 
     number 1 after the explanation of the matter in Division A.
       Amendment No. 1: Deletes the matter inserted and inserts 
     complete bill text.

                               DIVISION A


                   legislative branch appropriations

       Many items in both House and Senate Legislative Branch 
     Appropriations bills are identical and are included in the 
     conference agreement without change. The conferees have 
     endorsed statements or policy contained in the House and 
     Senate reports accompanying the appropriations bills, unless 
     amended or restated herein. The conferees have agreed to drop 
     without prejudice the direction in the House report under the 
     heading, Information Security, subsumed under ``LEGISLATIVE 
     BRANCH WIDE MATTERS''. With respect to those items in the 
     conference agreement that differ between House and Senate 
     bills, the conferees have agreed to the following with the 
     appropriate section numbers, punctuation, and other technical 
     corrections:

                   TITLE I--CONGRESSIONAL OPERATIONS

                                 Senate

       Appropriates $506,797,300 for Senate operations, and 
     includes, at the request of the managers on the part of the 
     Senate, an amendment adding $250,000, an amendment containing 
     the traditional death gratuity upon the death of a Senator, 
     and an amendment to Section 8. Inasmuch as this item relates 
     solely to the Senate, and in accord with long practice under 
     which each body determines its own housekeeping requirements 
     and the other concurs without intervention, the managers on 
     the part of the House, at the request of the managers on the 
     part of the Senate, have receded to the Senate.

                        House of Representatives

       At the request of the managers on the part of the House, an 
     enrollment error in the House bill has been corrected and an 
     administrative provision has been added to provide funds for 
     a special education need. Inasmuch as this item relates 
     solely to the House, and in accord with long practice under 
     which each body determines its own housekeeping requirements 
     and the other concurs without intervention, the managers on 
     the part of the Senate, at the request of the managers on the 
     part of the House, have receded to the House.

                              Joint Items


            Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies of 2001

                         salaries and expenses

       Appropriates $1,000,000 for the Joint Committee on 
     Inaugural Ceremonies of 2001 as proposed by the Senate, 
     amending two dates.


                        Administrative Provision

       The conferees have amended the administrative provision 
     proposed by the House regarding assistance for the Capitol 
     Police during the Inauguration in January 2001 and the 2001 
     joint session of Congress to receive the State of the Union 
     message.


                        Joint Economic Committee

       Appropriates $3,315,000 for the Joint Economic Committee as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $3,072,000 as proposed by 
     the House.


                      Joint Committee on Taxation

       Appropriates $6,430,000 for the Joint Committee on Taxation 
     instead of $6,174,000 as proposed by the House and $6,686,000 
     as proposed by the Senate. The conferees believe that this 
     level of funding is sufficient for the Joint Committee on 
     Taxation to complete its report on the overall state of the 
     Federal tax system.

                          CAPITOL POLICE BOARD

                             Capitol Police


                                salaries

       Appropriates $97,142,000 for salaries of officers, members, 
     and employees of the Capitol Police instead of $92,769,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $102,700,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate, of which $47,053,000 is provided to the Sergeant at 
     Arms of the House of Representatives and $50,089,000 is 
     provided to the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the 
     Senate. Of the amount provided, $4,660,000 is for overtime.
       The conferees have agreed this will fund 1,481 FTE's, the 
     level proposed by the Senate. The Chief of Police is directed 
     to secure the approval of the House and Senate Appropriations 
     Committees before filling positions above the level of 1,402 
     FTE's. The conferees intend that sufficient resources be 
     allocated to implement the ``two officers per door'' policy. 
     The Police are directed to study the posting requirements of 
     all posts and report to the House and Senate Appropriations 
     Committees. Until such a study is presented, the police are 
     authorized an FTE level of 1402.


                            general expenses

       Appropriates $6,772,000 for general expenses of the Capitol 
     Police instead of $6,549,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $6,884,000 as proposed by the Senate. The funds provide 
     $103,000 for motorcycle replacement, and the conferees direct 
     that the Capitol Police continue the program begun in FY 2000 
     to utilize American-made motorcycles, targeting the funds 
     made available in this agreement towards smaller motorcycles. 
     In addition, the conferees have not included reimbursement 
     for telecommunications costs ($235,000) and direct that these 
     savings be applied to other programs. Items for installation 
     and maintenance of physical security and information security 
     measures shall not be less than the FY 2000 funded level.


                       Administrative Provisions

       The conferees have included two administrative provisions 
     proposed by the House relating to certifying officers and a 
     chief administrative officer. The conferees have also added a 
     provision adjusting the salary of the chief of the Capitol 
     police.


           Capitol Guide Service and Special Services Office

       Appropriates $2,371,000 for the Capitol Guide Service and 
     Special Services Office as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $2,201,000 as proposed by the House.


                      Statements of Appropriations

       Appropriates $30,000 for statements of appropriations as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $29,000 as proposed by the 
     House and makes technical changes.

                          OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE

       Appropriates $1,820,000 for the Office of Compliance 
     instead of $1,816,000 as proposed by the House and $2,066,000 
     as proposed by the Senate. The conferees note that Office of 
     Compliance telephones frequently are not answered during 
     normal business hours. As an agency providing service to 
     employees and agencies of the Legislative branch, the 
     Executive Director should ensure that calls to the Office of 
     Compliance are answered during normal business hours. In 
     addition, the conferees believe the Executive Director should 
     examine the use of contract couriers to make deliveries to 
     Congressional offices and should reduce costs for such 
     deliveries by use of other means when appropriate.

                      CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE

                         Salaries and Expenses

       Establishes the limitation on funds for representation and 
     reception expenses at $3,000 as proposed by the House instead 
     of $2,500 as proposed by the Senate and appropriates 
     $28,493,000 for salaries and expenses of the Congressional 
     Budget Office instead of $27,403,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $27,113,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees have included an administrative provision, as 
     proposed by the Senate, authorizing the Congressional Budget 
     Office to enter into multiple year contracts to the same 
     extent as executive agencies.

                        ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

                     Capitol Buildings and Grounds


                           capitol buildings

                         salaries and expenses

       Appropriates $43,689,000 for salaries and expenses, Capitol 
     buildings, Architect of the Capitol, instead of $44,234,000 
     as proposed by the House and $44,191,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Of this amount, $3,843,000 shall remain available 
     until expended instead of $4,280,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $4,255,000 as proposed by the Senate. With respect to 
     object class and project differences between the House and 
     Senate bills, the conferees have agreed to the following:
       Operating Budget: $39,346,000.
       Capitol Projects:
        1. Update electrical system drawings on CAD $70,000.
        2. CAD Mechanical database $70,000.
        3. Conservation of wall paintings $200,000.
        4. Study, confined spaces, Capitol Complex $0.
        5. Replacement on Minton tile $100,000.
        6. Provide infrastructure for security installations 
     $400,000.
        7. Computer, telecommunications and electrical support 
     $300,000.

[[Page 16526]]

        8. Security project support for AOC $0.
        9. Roof fall protection $555,000.
       10. Life safety support services $0.
       11. Safety and environmental program and SOP development 
     $0.
       12. Wayfinding and ADA compliant signage $50,000.
       13. Computer aided facility management $263,000.
       The conference agreement includes a provision authorizing 
     the Architect of the Capitol to hire a project manager for 
     the construction of the Capitol Visitors Center and 
     establishing a ceiling on the level of pay for this position. 
     The conferees direct the Architect to fill this position from 
     among persons recruited from outside the agency. The language 
     authorizing the position and funding for same will require 
     inclusion in annual appropriations bills and will be 
     withdrawn upon completion of the project.
       The conferees have agreed to modify the Senate report 
     language directing the Architect to create and fill a 
     position for employee advocate. The conferees direct that the 
     Architect fill the position of Employee Advocate on a one-
     year, temporary basis, using existing resources, at a level 
     appropriate to the task. In the submission of the FY 2002 
     budget request, the Architect is directed to report on 
     measures taken to fulfill directives in the Senate report in 
     lieu of the quarterly reports outlined in the Senate report 
     regarding this position. The House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations will review the results of this temporary 
     measure before considering a permanent solution.
       The conferees are aware that the Architect of the Capitol 
     employs a significant number of temporary workers (excluding 
     intermittent workers) who do not receive the usual benefits 
     available to permanent federal workers. The Architect is 
     directed to provide a report within 90 days to the Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations and Rules and Administration, 
     and to the House Committees on Appropriations, Transportation 
     and Infrastructure, and House Administration, both majority 
     and minority, detailing its use of temporary workers, the 
     terms and conditions thereof, and the reasons therefor; the 
     total number of such workers employed during each of the last 
     five fiscal years; and a list and explanation of the 
     benefits, if any, such workers receive by reason of their AOC 
     employment. The report shall make recommendations for how to

     intent that the Director of the Congressional Research 
     Service shall be obligated to bring to the attention of the 
     appropriate House and Senate Committees issues which directly 
     impact the Congressional Research Service and its ability to 
     serve the needs of Congress. The budgetary needs of CRS that

     Record.
       Rather than limiting funding for the Congressional Record 
     Index and indexers to close out activities, as directed in 
     the House report, the conferees agree that this activity 
     should continue and that improvements in work processes 
     should be pursued by taking advantage of the latest available 
     technology. These activities and initiatives should be more 
     closely integrated and coordinated with related GPO functions 
     and should be pursued under the direction of the Public 
     Printer or appropriate officials designated by the Public 
     Printer.

                        Administrative Provision

       The conference agreement amends an administrative provision 
     proposed by the House regarding a study of Congressional 
     printing needs and authorization of appropriations beginning 
     in fiscal year 2003 to limit its application to the Clerk of 
     the House and the printing needs of the House of 
     Representatives.

     submission.

                         security enhancements

       The conference agreement provides an additional $2,102,000 
     for Fiscal Year 2000 to the

[[Page 16528]]

     Capitol Police Board for security enhancements. Of this 
     amount, $228,000 are for acquisition and installation of card 
     readers for four additional Capitol buildings access points 
     not currently funded in the security enhancements plan. In 
     addition, $1,874,000 is provided for work at the Library of 
     Congress to complete the closed circuit television 
     ($1,390,000) and access control ($484,000) improvement tasks. 
     These funds are designated as an emergency requirement.

                     Capitol Buildings And Grounds


                         house office buildings

       The conference agreement appropriates $9,000,000 for Fiscal 
     Year 2000 to the Architect of the Capitol for urgent repairs 
     to the underground garage in the Cannon House Office 
     Building. These funds are designated as an emergency

              DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

                     FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION

             FHA--General and Special Risk Program Account

       At the request of the House and Senate subcommittees on VA, 
     HUD and Independent Agencies Appropriations, the conferees 
     have agreed to include a provision for the Department of 
     Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that provides, on an 
     emergency basis, $40,000,000 in credit subsidy for the FHA 
     General and Special Risk Program Account. Without these 
     additional funds, the Title I home improvement program, the 
     condominium loan program, the FHA reverse mortgage program 
     for senior citizens, and various multifamily housing 
     insurance programs would have to be suspended. The additional 
     appropriation would have been unnecessary if HUD had adhered 
     to assumptions made by the Office of Management and Budget 
     (OMB) in determining credit subsidy rates when the 
     President's budget was submitted to Congress, a violation of 
     budget conventions. In the future, HUD should refrain from 
     similar actions.

     for such service under chapter 83 or 84 of title 5, U.S.C.

     effect, minus
       (B) the total employee deductions and contributions under 
     such chapter 83 and 84 (as applicable) that were actually 
     made for such service,
     taking into account only amounts required to be credited to

     under this section had then been in effect (and, to the 
     extent of any prior FAA police officer service, as if it had 
     then been the employing agency). Any amount under this

     necessary to reimburse the Fund for any estimated increase in 
     the unfunded liability of the Fund (to the extent the Civil 
     Service Retirement System is involved), and for any estimated 
     increase in the supplemental liability of the Fund (to the 
     extent the Federal Employees' Retirement System is involved), 
     resulting from the enactment of this section.
       (2) Payment method.--The Metropolitan Washington Airports 
     Authority shall pay the amount so determined in five equal

     would be appropriate during 2002 for each area so determined.
       (C)(i) Any recommendations under subparagraph (B)(ii) shall

     comparability payments scheduled to become payable in 2002;

     the President and the Congress no later than March 1, 2001.
       (ii) In the event that the recommendations are completed in 
     time to be included in the report described in clause (i)(I), 
     a copy of those recommendations shall be transmitted by the 
     pay agent to the Congress contemporaneous with their 
     submission to the President.
       (D) Each of the five areas under subparagraph (A) that so 
     warrants, as determined by the President's pay agent, shall 
     be designated as a discrete pay locality under section 5304 
     of title 5, United States Code, in time for it to be treated 
     as such for purposes of comparability payments becoming 
     payable in 2002.
       (2) The President's pay agent may, at any time after the 
     180th day following the submission of the report under 
     subsection (f), make any initial or further determinations or 
     recommendations under this section, based on any pay 
     comparisons under subsection (b), with respect to any area 
     described in paragraph (3).
       (3) An area described in this paragraph is any metropolitan 
     statistical area within the continental United States that

     payments becoming payable on or after January 1, 2002, and 
     before January 1, 2007, and only with respect to areas 
     described in subsection (d)(3).

     included in the pay agent's report under section 5304(d)(1) 
     of title 5, United States Code, for any year (or the pay 
     agent's supplementary report, in accordance with subsection 
     (d)(1)(C)(i)(II)), be considered and acted on as the pay 
     agent's comparisons and recommendations under such section 
     5304(d)(1) for the area and the year involved.

     (b)(2) or (3) (as appropriate), for purposes of comparability 
     payments.

     data, the rationale underlying the decisions reached based on

     using such data (including whether the effort involved in 
     analyzing and integrating such data is commensurate with the 
     benefits derived from their use). The report may include 
     specific recommendations regarding the continued use of such 
     data.

                  TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

                          Departmental Offices


                         salaries and expenses

       The conferees agree to provide $156,315,000 instead of 
     $149,437,000 as proposed by the House and $149,610,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount is $7,332,000 
     to maintain current levels; $3,813,000 as a transfer from the 
     Department-Wide Systems and Capital Investments Programs 
     (SCIP); $3,027,000 to annualize the costs of the fiscal year 
     2000 drug supplemental for the Office of Foreign Asset

     $504,000 and no more than 3 positions for increased

     Strategy; $2,900,000 for grants to state and local law 
     enforcement groups to help combat money laundering; $502,000 
     for reimbursements to Morris County, New Jersey, for law

     departments of the towns of New Castle, North Castle, Mount 
     Kisco, Bedford, and the Department of Public Safety of 
     Westchester County of the State of New York.


                RECEPTION AND REPRESENTATION ALLOWANCES

       The conferees are concerned to learn that, over the past 
     several years, the Office of the Under Secretary of 
     Enforcement has required the various Treasury law enforcement 
     bureaus to transfer a portion of their reception and 
     representation funds to the Office of the Under Secretary. 
     Although there may be certain functions appropriate to the 
     involvement of all the Treasury law enforcement bureaus, the 
     conferees remind the Under Secretary that expenses for these 
     events are accommodated within the amounts authorized for 
     Departmental Offices reception and representation allowances. 
     In the event that the Under Secretary believes that 
     Departmental Offices representation allowances are 
     insufficient to meet current needs, the Under Secretary 
     should submit a justification for increases to this allowance 
     to the Committees for its consideration. The conferees also 
     direct the Under Secretary to submit for advance approval any 
     requirement to use reception and representation allowance 
     funds from any appropriation account other than Departmental 
     Offices, Salaries and Expenses.


                           ALTERNATIVE FUELS

       The conferees urge the Treasury Department to use ethanol, 
     biodiesel, and other alternative fuels to the maximum extent 
     practicable in meeting the Department's fuel needs.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conferees agree to provide $1,863,765,000 instead of

              Targeted Resources for the Southwest Border

     $11,300,000 in fiscal year 2000 Super Surplus of the Treasury 
     Forfeiture Fund to hire new inspectors, agents, or acquire 
     new detection technology for use along the Southwest border 
     for a total of $25,000,000. The House conferees do not concur 
     with the Senate Report language on Targeted Resources for the 
     Southwest Border.

                             Ports of Entry

       The conferees have received numerous requests to establish, 
     expand, or preserve Customs presence at various ports, as 
     well as, to designate new ports of entry. Customs has made a 
     commitment to put in place a staffing resource allocation 
     model to permit a more transparent and consistent basis for 
     making such decisions, but the delay in doing so has caused 
     concern about the ability of Customs to fulfill its 
     responsibilities. The conferees therefore direct the Treasury 
     Department and Customs to complete this model and to report 
     to the Committees on Appropriations not later than November 
     1, 2000 on its implementation. In relation to this, the 
     conferees urge the Customs Service to give full consideration 
     to the needs of the following areas for increases or 
     improvements in Customs services: Fargo, North Dakota; 
     Highgate Springs, Vermont; Charleston, South Carolina; 
     Charleston, West Virginia; Honolulu, Hawaii; Great Falls, 
     Sweetgrass-Coutts, and Missoula, Montana; Tri-Cities Regional 
     Airport, Tennessee; Dulles International Airport; Louisville 
     International Airport; Miami International Airport; 
     Pittsburg, New Hampshire; San Antonio, Texas; and multiple 
     port areas in Arizona, New Mexico, and Florida.

                 Operation, Maintenance and Procurement


                  AIR AND MARINE INTERDICTION PROGRAMS

       The conferees agree to provide $133,228,000 instead of 
     $125,778,000 as proposed by the House and $128,228,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount is $5,000,000 
     for source zone deployment of P-3's; $2,174,000 to maintain 
     current levels; $7,450,000 for flight safety and 
     enhancements; and $9,916,000 for costs associated with the

                        Automation Modernization

     for the International Trade Data System, as well as, not less 
     than $130,000,000 to begin work on the Automated Commercial 
     Environment (ACE).

                     administering the public debt

       The conferees agree to provide $182,901,000 as proposed by 
     the House and Senate. The conferees agree to include a 
     provision as proposed by the Senate with respect to 
     administrative costs associated with certain trust funds.

                 PROCESSING, ASSISTANCE, AND MANAGEMENT

       The conferees agree to provide $3,567,001,000 instead of 
     $3,487,232,000 as proposed by the House and $3,506,939,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees fully fund the 
     President's request with respect to adjustments required to 
     maintain current levels of service, organizational 
     modernization, and operational contract support. The funding 
     level also reflects an increase of $60,000,000 above the 
     fiscal year 2000 level as a result of an inter-appropriation 
     transfer during fiscal year 2000. The conferees have not 
     provided any funding for the Staffing Tax Administration for 
     Balance and Equity (STABLE) initiative, a proposed fiscal 
     year 2001 inter-appropriation transfer, or the electronic tax 
     administration marketing initiative.


                     IRS DATA FOR ECONOMIC MODELING

       The conferees are aware of the critical importance and 
     usefulness of IRS data to economic modeling, such as the 
     modeling used to project the economic impact of proposed 
     Social Security legislation. The conferees direct IRS to 
     continue working closely with the Bureau of the Census to 
     ensure the appropriate availability of these data in a timely 
     manner to groups such as the Congressional Budget Office 
     (CBO) to facilitate the operation of CBO's long-term models 
     of Social Security and Medicare. CBO requires records from 
     the IRS' Statistics Of Income that are matched with survey 
     data from the Bureau of the Census (involving the Current 
     Population Survey and the Survey of Income and Program 
     Participation) and records of the Social Security 
     Administration with all record identifiers removed.


                          TAX LAW ENFORCEMENT

       The conferees agree to provide $3,382,402,000 instead of 
     $3,332,676,000 as proposed by the House and $3,378,040,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees fully fund the 
     President's request with respect to adjustments required to 
     maintain current levels of service and operational contract 
     support. The funding level also reflects a decrease of 
     $100,000,000 below the fiscal year 2000 level as a result of 
     an inter-appropriation transfer

[[Page 16544]]

     during fiscal year 2000 and a decrease of $666,000 for a 
     transfer to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax 
     Administration, as requested. The conferees have not provided 
     any funding for the Staffing Tax Administration for Balance 
     and Equity (STABLE) initiative or for the Counterterrorism 
     Initiative, nor have they agreed to a proposed transfer of 
     $41,000,000 out of the account as an inter-appropriation 
     transfer during fiscal year 2001.


                          INFORMATION SYSTEMS

       The conferees agree to provide $1,545,090,000 instead of 
     $1,488,090,000 as proposed by the House and $1,505,090,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees fully fund the 
     President's request with the exception of the Staffing Tax 
     Administration for Balance and Equity (STABLE) initiative and 
     $3,000,000 for an inter-appropriation transfer proposed for 
     fiscal year 2001.

       Section 101. The conferees agree to continue a provision

                     Federal Drug Control Programs


             HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM

       The conferees agree to provide $206,500,000 instead of 
     $217,000,000 as proposed by the House and $196,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees fully fund the 
     Administration's request, and include an additional 
     $14,500,000 to increase funding or expand existing HIDTAs, or 
     to fund newly designated

[[Page 16545]]

     HIDTAs. The conferees provide that existing HIDTAs shall be 
     funded at fiscal year 2000 levels unless the ONDCP Director 
     submits to the Committees, and the Committees approve, 
     justification for changes in those levels based on clearly 
     articulated priorities for the HIDTA program, as well as 
     published ONDCP performance measures of effectiveness (PMEs). 
     Similarly, while the conferees provide additional funding 
     that may be used for newly designated HIDTAs, they direct 
     that no funds may be obligated for such purposes until 
     similar justification is provided to the Committees for 
     approval.
       The ability to evaluate effectiveness of individual HIDTAs, 
     and to match funding needs against budgets, depends on 
     reliable and consistent methodology for performance 
     measurement and management. This is particularly important 
     given the key role HIDTAs play in bringing together many 
     divergent counterdrug agencies and crosscutting programs--
     which also exacerbates the problem of isolating the impact of 
     HIDTAs. The conferees anticipate that the completion of work 
     by the HIDTA Performance Management Working Group will 
     improve performance measurement methodology and data 
     collection covering the three main target areas identified in 
     1999. These are: increasing compliance with HIDTA 
     developmental standards; dismantling or disabling at least 5 
     percent of targeted drug trafficking organizations; and 
     reducing specific types of violent crime. The conferees 
     support ONDCP plans to validate and verify the HIDTA 
     management, including the use of on-site reviews and external 
     financial evaluations.
       As ONDCP reviews candidates for new HIDTA funding, the 
     conferees direct it to consider the following: Las Vegas, NV; 
     Arkansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Northern Florida, 
     which have requested designation; increases for Central 
     Florida, Southwest Border (for New Mexico, South Texas, West 
     Texas, and Arizona), New England, Gulf Coast, Oregon, 
     Northwest (including southwest and eastern Washington), and 
     Chicago HIDTAs; and full minimum funding for new HIDTAs in 
     Central Valley, California, Hawaii, and Ohio. The conferees 
     urge ONDCP to consider using funds provided above the budget 
     request for designating new HIDTAs from areas which have 
     already submitted requests.


                        SPECIAL FORFEITURE FUND

       The conferees agree to provide $233,600,000 instead of 
     $219,000,000 as proposed by the House and $144,300,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. Of this amount, the conferees provide 
     $185,000,000 for the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign; 
     $40,000,000 to carry out the Drug-Free Communities Act; 
     $3,000,000 for the costs of space and operations of the 
     counter drug intelligence executive secretariat (CDX); 
     $3,300,000 for anti-doping efforts of the United States 
     Olympic Committee; $1,300,000 to the Metro Intelligence 
     Support and Technical Investigative Center (MISTIC); and 
     $1,000,000 for the National Drug Court Institute.

                National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign

       The conferees negate neither the House nor Senate Committee 
     Report language regarding the youth media campaign. The 
     conferees are concerned with ONDCP's use of pro bono credits 
     under the match program for programming content, and note 
     with interest the Statement of Pro-Bono Match Program and 
     Guidelines that ONDCP posted on its website in July 2000. 
     Consistent with those guidelines, the conferees direct that 
     ONDCP not issue credits for ad time and/or space if already 
     purchased with funds appropriated for the campaign. 
     Furthermore, the conferees direct that ONDCP not issue any 
     credits for programming content once a program is in 
     syndication unless it has previously reported to the 
     Committees on Appropriations reasons why such credit is 
     necessary. Finally, the conferees underscore the language on 
     page 11 of the guidelines that reads ``ONDCP exercises its 
     authority to review public service match materials for credit 
     and valuation through its primary advertising contractor. No 
     ONDCP contractor may make suggestions or requests about, or 
     otherwise attempt to influence or modify the creative product 
     of any media organization or representative for the purpose 
     of qualifying for pro bono match credit.'' In keeping with 
     this the conferees direct ONDCP to ensure that neither it nor 
     its contractor will review programming content under 
     consideration for pro bono credit under the match program 
     until such programming is in its final form.

     proposed by the Senate.

       The conferees agree to provide $5,971,509,000 in new 
     obligational authority instead of $5,272,370,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $5,502,333,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
     The conferees directly appropriate $464,154,000 into the Fund 
     to cover a portion of the new obligational needs of the Fund.


                         AFRICAN BURIAL GROUND

       The conferees recognize the efforts of GSA to memorialize 
     the 17th and 18th century African Americans whose remains 
     were discovered during the excavation for a new federal 
     building at Foley Square in lower Manhattan. Since 1992, 
     significant work has been conducted on the memorialization 
     but additional work is required prior to and including the 
     reinterment of the remains. The conferees expect GSA to 
     complete the project using funds made available from the 
     Federal Buildings Fund or from the borrowing authority 
     remaining for the buildings project at Foley Square.


                      CONSTRUCTION AND ACQUISITION

       The conferees agree to provide $472,176,000 instead of no 
     funding as proposed by the House and $3,000,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate. These funds are provided for nine projects. 
     The conferees direct GSA to provide a written report to the 
     Committees on Appropriations with respect to how GSA plans to 
     allocate these funds among the various projects prior to 
     allocating the funds. Within the funds provided the conferees 
     have included $3,500,000 for the design and site acquisition 
     of a combined law enforcement facility in Saint Petersburg, 
     Florida.
       The conferees also agree to provide $276,400,000 as an 
     advance appropriation, not available until October 1, 2001, 
     for four courthouse construction projects.


                        REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS

       The conferees agree to provide $671,193,000 as proposed by 
     the Senate instead of $490,592,000 as proposed by the House. 
     This level fully funds the request with the following 
     exceptions: no funds are provided for the chlorofluorocarbon 
     program, the energy program is funded at $5,000,000, and the 
     glass fragment retention program is funded at $5,000,000.


                          BUILDING OPERATIONS

       The conferees agree to provide $1,624,771,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate instead of $1,580,909,000 as proposed by the 
     House. Within this limitation level, the conferees have 
     included $500,000 to conduct a site selection analysis for a 
     replacement facility for the National Center for 
     Environmental Prediction of the National Oceanic and 
     Atmospheric Administration, currently located in Camp 
     Springs, Maryland. The delineated area shall be in the 
     Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area and include the 
     consideration of appropriate educational institutions 
     qualified to be project partners. A report on the findings of 
     the study shall be provided to the conferees within 120 days 
     of the enactment of this Act.


                         POLICY AND OPERATIONS

       The conferees agree to provide $123,920,000 instead of 
     $123,420,000 as proposed by the Senate and $115,434,000 as 
     proposed by the House. Increases above the enacted level 
     include $3,285,000 for pay costs to maintain current levels, 
     $2,075,000 for protection and maintenance at the Lorton 
     complex in Virginia, and $8,000,000 for the critical 
     infrastructure protection initiative. The conferees agree to 
     provide up to $500,000 for virtual archive storage. And agree 
     to provide $190,000, from within available funds, for the 
     Plains States Depopulation Symposium as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees do not agree to the reduction of 
     funding from the fiscal year 2000 level for the digital 
     learning technology effort and direct that $1,000,000 be used 
     to continue a digital medical education project in connection 
     with the Native American Digital Telehealth Project and Upper 
     Great Plains Native American Telehealth Program and that 
     $1,000,000 be used to continue activities that will be the 
     basis for the 21st Century Distributed Learning Environment 
     in Education.


                           ALTERNATIVE FUELS

       The conferees urge the General Services Administration to 
     use ethanol, biodiesel, and other alternative fuels to the 
     maximum extent practicable in meeting GSA's fuel needs.


                   EXPENSES, PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION

       The conferees agree to provide $7,100,000, as proposed by 
     the Senate instead of no appropriation as proposed by the
