      The Congress finds that the 1990 amendments to the Clean

the obligation of the Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency to promulgate a Federal implementation plan 
under section 110(e) of the Clean Air Act for those areas. Upon 
the enactment of this Act, any Federal implementation plan that 
has been promulgated by the Administrator of the Environmental

             TITLE IV--MEXICAN DEBT DISCLOSURE ACT OF 1995

SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

      This title may be cited as the ``Mexican Debt Disclosure 
Act of 1995''.

SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

      The Congress finds that--
            (1) Mexico is an important neighbor and trading 
        partner of the United States;
            (2) on January 31, 1995, the President approved a 
        program of assistance to Mexico, in the form of swap 
        facilities and securities guarantees in the amount of 
        $20,000,000,000, using the exchange stabilization fund;
            (3) the program of assistance involves the 
        participation of the Board of Governors of the Federal 
        Reserve System, the International Monetary Fund, the 
        Bank for International Settlements, the International 
        Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-
        American Development Bank, the Bank of Canada, and 
        several Latin American countries;
            (4) the involvement of the exchange stabilization 
        fund and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
        System means that United States taxpayer funds will be 
        used in the assistance effort to Mexico;
            (5) assistance provided by the International 
        Monetary Fund, the International Bank for 
        Reconstruction and Development, and the Inter-American 
        Development Bank may require additional United States 
        contributions of taxpayer funds to those entities;
            (6) the immediate use of taxpayer funds and the 
        potential requirement for additional future United 
        States contributions of taxpayer funds necessitates 
        congressional oversight of the disbursement of funds; 
        and
            (7) the efficacy of the assistance to Mexico is 
        contingent on the pursuit of sound economic policy by 
        the Government of Mexico.

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF 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 amendments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 889) making 
emergency supplemental appropriations and rescissions to 
preserve and enhance the military readiness of the Department 
of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, and 
for other purposes, submit the following joint statement to the 
House and the Senate in explanation of the effects of the 
action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 
accompanying conference report.
      Report language included by the House in the report 
accompanying H.R. 889 (H. Rept. 104-29) and the report 
accompanying H.R. 845 (H. Rept. 104-30) which is not changed by 
the report of the Senate (S. Rept. 104-12), and Senate report 
language which is not changed by the conference are approved by 
the committee of conference. The statement of the managers 
while repeating some report language for emphasis, is not 
intended to negate the language referred to above unless 
expressly provided herein.
      Amendment No. 1: Inserts an enacting clause, inserts 
language making emergency supplemental appropriations for the 
Department of Defense, inserts language rescinding certain 
budget authority from the Department of Defense and inserts 
general provisions relating to the Department of Defense. The 
Senate amendment deleted the enacting clause and all the House 
language providing emergency supplemental appropriations and 
directing certain rescissions relating to the Department of 
Defense and inserted new language providing supplemental 
appropriations and providing additional rescissions and 
language provisions relating to the Department. The details of 
the conference agreement follow:

                                TITLE I

                               CHAPTER I

                 EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY

      The conference agreement includes a total of 
$3,069,997,000 for unfunded military personnel, operation and 
maintenance, and procurement costs associated with contingency 
operations and other readiness requirements instead of 
$3,208,400,000 as proposed by the House and $1,963,697,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. The conferees also have agreed to a 
general provision proposed by the House which will provide 
$360,000,000 in offsets to this amount from burdensharing 
contributions.
      After the House and Senate acted on the fiscal year 1995 
Supplemental budget request, the Department of Defense 
identified several significant revisions to the cost of 
contingency operations. These revisions, outlined in the table 
below, include a reduction to Operation VIGILANT WARRIOR that 
concluded on December 22, 1994, and increases for support of 
Cuban refugees, as well as flying hour costs associated with 
several of these operations. The conferees agree to incorporate 
these revisions in the total appropriations provided to the 
Department.
      In addition to providing funds to cover contingency 
operations costs, the conference agreement also includes funds 
to pay for other readiness enhancements in the Military 
Personnel and Operation and Maintenance accounts. Funds are 
added to completely pay for the fiscal year 1995 military pay 
raise, and cover increased overseas station allowance costs 
accruing from the recent decline in the value of the dollar. 
Funds also are included to finance shortfalls in Navy flying 
hour costs.
      A summary of the conference agreement is as follows:

                                                                                 SUMMARY OF CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

                contingency and non-traditional missions

      The conferees express their deep concern over the process 
by which U.S. military forces are being deployed on major, 
large scale contingency operations. The conferees note that the 
Administration neither sought nor received advance approval of 
or funding for military operations from the Congress in support 
of peacekeeping and humanitarian missions. The missions 
involving Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti, and refugee relief in the 
Caribbean all mark significant departures from previous 
emergency deployments of American forces dealing with valid 
threats to the national security. The conferees strongly 
believe that military deployments in support of peacekeeping or 
humanitarian objectives both merit and require advance approval 
by the Congress.
      This issue is of special concern to the conferees because 
of the effect these operations have had on the defense 
budgeting and planning process. There is no question but that 
the recent spate of ``contingency'' deployments, none of which 
was approved in advance by Congress nor budgeted for, have 
wreaked havoc upon the ability of the Department of Defense to 
maintain military readiness. These operations have led to 
substantial and repeated diversions of funds intended for 
training, equipment and property maintenance. From the 
Secretary of Defense to commanders in the field, there is 
universal acknowledgment that this practice has led to 
degradations in readiness.
      A related issue involves the rapid increase in Defense 
Department participation in activities which under both law and 
tradition are the responsibility of other Federal departments. 
The principal example of this trend is the use of DoD funds, 
personnel, and facilities to deal with the issue of Cuban and 
Haitian refugees. The cost of these operations has been almost 
entirely borne by the Department of Defense, even though other 
Federal entities have long had primary responsibility for 
dealing with refugee and immigration issues and have, in the 
past, reimbursed the Department of Defense for such support in 
accordance with the Economy Act. At present, DoD is being 
forced to bear $1 million per day in costs for these 
operations, out of funds intended to be used for military 
operations, training, and readiness. The conferees believe DoD 
should not be forced to bear the cost of operations whch are 
not its responsibility, especially when it results in a 
substantial diversion of funds provided by the Congress 
expressly for military activities.
      These problems underline the need for the Executive 
Branch to seek congressional approval for unanticipated 
nontraditional military operations in advance. The conferees 
intend to address these issues in connection with the fiscal 
year 1996 appropriations process, in order to avoid the 
recurrence of situations such as those which created the need 
for the appropriations contained in this measure. The conferees 
strongly urge the Administration to provide detailed and timely 
proposals to assist in resolving these issues.

                        other procurement, army

      The budget request included $28,600,000 for a wide 
variety of equipment in the ``Other Procurement, Army'' 
account. The conferees recommend a total of $8,300,000 for the 
highest priority programs within the request.

                               CHAPTER II

                  reserve component automation system

      The Senate proposed to rescind $46,900,000 in the Other 
Procurement, Army appropriation for the Reserve Component 
Automation System. In February 1995 the Army conducted a 
special review of the program which resulted in a proposal to 
significantly change the system's architecture and caused a 
temporary delay. The Army informed the conferees that given 
these events, $33,700,000 is no longer needed to execute the 
program during fiscal year 1995. The conferees agree to rescind 
$12,100,000 in Other Procurement, Army; $15,400,000 in 
Operation and Maintenance, Army National Guard; and $6,200,000 
in Operation and Maintenance, Army Reserve. This action should 
not be construed as either agreement or disagreement with the 
Army's proposed restructure of the program. The conferees have 
amended section 8025 of the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1995 to reflect this 
reduction.

                                sincgars

      The conferees recommend a rescission of $20,000,000 for 
the SINCGARS radio in the ``Other Procurement, Army'' account. 
These funds are available as a result of savings because of a 
lower than projected per unit cost in a recent contract award.

        armament retooling and manufacturing support initiative

      The conferees agree to rescind $85,000,000 for the 
Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support Initiative. The 
budget submission requested that the expiring fiscal year 1993 
funds be made available to fix a funding shortfall for tank 
ammunition in fiscal year 1996. The conferees do not believe 
that fiscal year 1996 shortfalls should be funded with excess 
funds from previous fiscal years. Although the conferees 
support the multi-year tank ammunition contract, the budget 
proposal does not comply with standard acquisition and budget 
procedures. The conferees' decision to rescind the funds does 
not prejudge any decision regarding programs that have funding 
shortfalls in fiscal year 1996. The conferees would consider a 
reprogramming request to continue the manufacture of the 120mm 
armor piercing tank ammunition if it is necessary to maintain 
production in fiscal year 1995. The conferees understand that 
closing the existing production line would greatly increase 
costs for this needed ammunition.

                           apache helicopter

      The conferees agree to rescind $34,411,000 for Apache-A 
production. Of the available funds, $5,611,000 is only for 
Apache engineering support and $37,589,000 is only for long 
lead procurement for the Longbow Apache program.

                 national security education trust fund

      The conferees agree to rescind $75,000,000 of the amount 
appropriated for the National Security Education Trust Fund in 
Public Law 102-172. The intent of the conferees is to reduce 
the corpus of the Fund by 50 percent.

                          classified programs

      The Senate proposed classified rescissions totalling 
$60,100,000. The House proposed no such rescission. The 
conferees agree to a reduction of $60,100,000 as discussion in 
the Classified Report which accompanies this Statement of the 
Managers.

                  former soviet union threat reduction

      The House rescinded a total of $80,000,000 originally 
appropriated for housing, conversion projects, and the Defense 
Enterprise Fund. The Senate proposed no such reduction. The 
conferees agree to a reduction of $20,000,000.
                                  C-17

      The conferees agree to rescind $100,000,000 in fiscal 
year 1993 Air Force aircraft procurement funds from the C-17 
program for engineering change orders. The recommendation is 
made without prejudice as the Air Force has informed the 
conferees that the funds could not be obligated before they 
expired at the end of the fiscal year. The conferees have also 
been informed by the Air Force that the C-17 program office 
intends to use fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995 funds to 
implement the low cost engine nacelle modification when the 
requirements are fully defined.

                                 SR-71

      Of the $100,000,000 appropriated for the SR-71 activation 
in fiscal year 1995, the conferees agree to rescind 
$27,500,000, and transfer $23,500,000 from Aircraft 
Procurement, Air Force (APAF) 95/97 to Operation and 
Maintenance, Air Force (OMAF) 95 as follows:

               guard and reserve miscellaneous equipment

      The conferees agree to a rescission of $30,000,000 for 
Guard and Reserve miscellaneous equipment as proposed by the 
House. The conferees agree that the $30,000,000 rescission is 
to be allocated proportionally to the amount appropriated to 
each of the Reserve Components for procurement of miscellaneous 
equipment in fiscal year 1995.
                      hypersonic flight technology

      The conferees recommend a rescission of $25,000,000 from 
the $45,000,000 appropriated in the Hypersonic Flight 
Technology program funded in the Air Force fiscal year 1995 
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation appropriation. The 
conferees endorse the Air Force's new budget plan which 
requires $10,000,000 to close out the Hypersonics Systems 
Technology (HySTP) program and $10,000,000 to initiate a new 
technology program focused on warfighter needs.

                       tactical support satellite

      The Senate proposed rescissions totaling $68,845,000 and 
termination of the Tactical Support Satellite. The House 
proposed no such action. The conferees agree with the Senate 
recommendation.

                        rdt&e general reductions

      The conferees direct that general reductions to Science 
and Technology, Experimental Evaluation of Major Innovative 
Technologies, and Manufacturing Technology (ARPA) programs be 
applied in a manner such that no disproportionate reduction be 
made to any individual project within these program elements.

                 defense finance and accounting service

      The conferees agree to rescind $50,000,000 from the 
Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide account, and direct the 
Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to rebate prices 
charged to Defense Agencies and the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense for accounting services provided in fiscal year 1995 in 
order to reduce expected operating gains by a like amount.

                       ballistic missile defense

      The conferees have restored funds for the National Test 
Facility to avoid any negative impact on critical theater 
missile defense (TMD) programs during the remainder of fiscal 
year 1995. However, the conferees note the importance and 
capabilities of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization's 
(BMDO) Advanced Research Center (ARC) supercomputing facility.
      The United States Army Space and Strategic Defense 
Command (USASSDC) ARC in Alabama has proven to be a cost-
effective solution in the development, integration and testing 
of the Army's missile defense programs. The ARC, in the opinion 
of the conferees, has demonstrated that these cost effective 
procedures in accomplishing the test and integration function 
for the Army's missile defense programs can also be applied to 
accomplish the integration and testing of BMDO systems.
      The mature simulation environment of the ARC has 
existing, state-of-the-art component test beds within the 
facility which are supporting space and theater missile defense 
programs. Test beds included in the ARC are the Extended Air 
Defense Test Bed (EADTB), Ground Based Radar Test Facility 
(GBRTF), Missile Defense Data Center (MDDC), Integrated System 
Test Capability (ISTC), TMD System Exerciser (TMD-SE), and 
others which support space and missile defense tests and 
integration. The ARC has secure communication links to the 
other modern DoD test facilities through defense and commercial 
networks that are required to conduct system simulations and 
evaluations of BMDO systems.
      The conferees will work to ensure that the funds required 
in fiscal year 1996 are available to make necessary upgrades 
and facilitate the integration and testing of BMDO component 
systems.
                              CHAPTER III

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY

                              coast guard

      The conferees have included a general provision which 
appropriates $28,297,000 to the Department of Defense for 
transfer to the Coast Guard to cover incremental operating 
expenses associated with contingency operations.

     Federally Funded Research and Development Centers and Related 
                               Activities

      The conferees have modified the Senate proposal to revise 
Section 8054(g) of the Department of Defense Appropriations 
Act, 1995, to further reduce funding for defense federally 
funded research and development centers (FFRDC's) and other 
entities providing similar services.
      The conferees have modified the Senate language to 
allocate the reductions in the revised Section 8054(g) among 
the operation and maintenance, procurement, and research, 
development, test and evaluation appropriations titles of the 
underlying Act.
      The conferees also have added a subsection which modifies 
Section 8054(h) of the underlying Act to allocate the reduction 
in that subsection among the three titles.
      The conferees direct that none of the FFRDC's or the 
funds allocated to the consultants and for-profit activities be 
required to absorb a disproportionate share of the decreases 
recommended in Subsections 8054(g) and (h) of the Act, as 
amended.
      The conferees further approved a reporting requirement to 
provide the Committees on Appropriations with the most current 
information about the allocation of these reductions.
      Amendment No. 2: Inserts and amends Senate language which 
limits the use of funds that can be used for emergency and 
extraordinary expenses unless prior notification is submitted 
to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate, 
the House National Security Committee and the Senate Armed 
Services Committee.
      Amendment No. 3: Inserts a new section number and retains 
a provision proposed by the Senate. This provision prohibits 
the expenditure of funds under this or any other Act to enter 
into an agreement between the United States and Russia under 
section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, until the 
President certifies to Congress that Russia has satisfied 
certain conditions regarding an agreement not to sell nuclear 
reactor components to Iran. The House bill contained no 
provision on this matter.
      Amendment No. 4: Deletes Senate language which expressed 
the sense of the Senate that a member of the Armed Forces 
sentenced by a court martial to confinement and a punitive 
discharge or dismissal should not receive pay and allowances.
      Amendment No. 5: Deletes language proposed by the Senate, 
and not addressed in the House bill, which contained 
conditional fiscal year 1995 rescissions for certain military 
construction projects relating to 1995 Base Closures and 
Realignments, and inserts new language which prohibits the 
obligation of funds for any new military construction or family 
housing project at an installation proposed for closure or 
realignment, and also inserts new language rescinding a total 
of $100,600,000.
      Projects related to realignments are defined as projects 
which are affected by the function or activity being realigned. 
The prohibition on obligation of funds is in effect unless the 
Congress enacts a Joint Resolution of Disapproval in accordance 
with the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as 
amended (P.L. 101-510).
      The conferees note that while they support the intent of 
the Senate amendment, in anticipation of savings due to the 
1995 Base Closure and Realignments, general reductions totaling 
$136.7 million were enacted in the Military Construction 
Appropriations Act, 1995. The conferees are committed to 
rescinding any additional savings at the appropriate time 
during consideration of the fiscal year 1996 budget request.
      With regard to the recommended rescissions, the conferees 
agree to rescind $75,500,000 from five appropriation accounts 
as contained in Public Law 103-307, the Military Construction 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1995. The appropriation 
accounts and recommended rescission amounts for each account 
are listed below:

Military Construction, Army.............................      $3,500,000
Military Construction, Navy.............................       3,500,000
Military Construction, Air Force........................       3,500,000
North Atlantic Treaty Organization Infrastructure.......      33,000,000
Base Realignment and Closure Account, Part III..........      32,000,000
                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................      75,500,000

      In addition, the conferees agree to rescind $25,100,000 
from funds appropriated for Military Construction, Naval 
Reserve in Public Law 102-136, the Military Construction 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1992.
      The conference agreement includes a general reduction of 
$3,500,000 for each of the Service accounts for military 
construction. These amounts are to be applied to the 
combination of project savings from favorable bids, reduced 
overhead costs, and other cost reduction initiatives.
      With regard to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
Infrastructure account, the recommended rescission amount 
reflects savings associated with deobligations due to canceled 
projects, low bids, and reduction of project scope, as well as 
NATO reimbursement for projects previously funded with U.S. 
appropriated funds that are now NATO eligible.
      With regard to the Base Realignment and Closure Account, 
Part III, the recommended rescission amount is based on 
estimated savings as a result of the Secretary of Defense 
recommendations to the Base Closure Commission for 1995 
closures and realignments, which reflect changes to the 1993 
closure and realignment decisions.
      With regard to the rescission of funds appropriated for 
Military construction, Naval Reserve for fiscal year 1992, the 
recommended rescission amount is based on the cancellation of a 
project to provide C-130 support facilities, which is no longer 
required.
      Amendment No. 6: Deletes a provision added by the Senate 
expressing the sense of the Senate relating to South Korea's 
nontariff barriers to United States beef and pork. The House 
bill contained no provision on this matter.
      Amendment No. 7: Deletes a provision added by the Senate 
expressing the sense of the Senate relating to the indefinite 
extension of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The House bill 
contained no provision on this matter.
      Amendment No. 8: Deletes Senate language which expressed 
the sense of the Senate concerning the importance of the 
National Test Facility.
      Amendment No. 9: Inserts and amends Senate language which 
provides that the rescission from the Environmental 
Restoration, Defense account shall not be allocated in excess 
of a proportionate share to installations that are recommended 
for closure or realignment in 1995.
      Inserts a new provision which makes necessary technical 
adjustments in order to make available to the Air Force up to 
$76,900,000 in funds received from NASA as reimbursement for 
TITAN IV-related costs in support of the NASA Cassini mission.
      Insert a new provision which amends the Department of 
Defense Appropriations Act, 1995 to reduce the funds available 
for the Reserve Component Automation System.
      Inserts a new provision which rescinds $100,000,000 from 
unobligated procurement balances that expire at the end of 
fiscal year 1995.

                           debt restructuring

                         debt relief for jordan

      Amendment No. 10: Deletes language proposed by the Senate 
that would have provided $275,000,000 for debt relief for 
Jordan, of which not more than $50,000,000 could be obligated 
prior to October 1, 1995.
      The conferees agree not to include supplemental funding 
for restructuring Jordanian debt to the U.S. Government, but it 
is the full intention to propose an appropriation of 
$275,000,000 for this purpose in H.R. 1158 under consideration 
in the Senate at the time of the conference. The conferees 
confirm that they support fully the President's commitment to 
King Hussein to restructure Jordan's debt in support of the 
October 1994 peace agreement between Jordan and Israel. Should 
appropriation of these funds fail to be enacted as part of H.R. 
1158, the conferees recommend that funding for this purpose be 
included in the regular fiscal year 1996 Foreign Operations, 
Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act.

                palestinian-israeli cooperation project

      In reports by both the House and Senate Appropriations 
Committees which accompanied the FY 1994 and FY 1995 Foreign 
Operations bills, strong support was expressed for funding of 
the educational, cultural, and humanitarian activities financed 
through the Palestinian-Israeli Cooperation Project. The Agency 
for International Development continues to ignore this 
expression of support.
      Once again the conferees urge that AID commit funds to 
this project.

      Amendment No. 11: Appropriates $21,500,000 for capital 
grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) 
and conforms heading. The House and Senate bills contained no 
similar appropriation. The agreement also inserts a title 
designation, as proposed by the Senate.
      The conferees agree to provide $21,500,000 for capital 
grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) 
to address emergency safety-related needs at the existing 
Pennsylvania Station in New York City. These funds are to be 
available immediately for obligation. This issue is further 
addressed under amendment number 20.

      Amendment No. 12: Rescinds $180,000,000 from five

                       immigration emergency fund

      Rescinds $45,000,000 from the Immigration Emergency Fund, 
instead of $70,000,000 as proposed by the House and $10,000,000 
as proposed by the Senate.

                         Department of Commerce

      Deletes a rescission of $2,500,000 from the Operations, 
Research and Facilities account of the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration proposed by the Senate. The House

       National Telecommunications and Information Administration

                   Information Infrastructure Grants

      Rescinds $15,000,000 from National Telecommunications and

instead of $34,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House 
bill contained no provision on this matter.

                  economic development administration

                economic development assistance programs

      Deletes a rescission of $40,000,000 from Economic 
Development Administration Economic Development Assistance 
Programs as proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no 
provision on this matter.

                            Related Agencies

                     small business administration

                         salaries and expenses

      Rescinds $15,000,000 for tree-planting grants from Small 
Business Administration Salaries and Expenses, as proposed by 
the Senate. The House bill contained no provision on this 
matter.

               payment to the legal services corporation

      Rescinds $15,000,000 from the Legal Services Corporation, 
as proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no 
provision on this matter.
      The conferees agree that, to the maximum extent possible, 
these funds should be taken from programs that do not provide 
direct legal services to individuals.

                DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND RELATED AGENCIES

                          Department of State

                      ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT

                          Department of Energy

                    atomic energy defense activities

         defense environmental restoration and waste management

      The conferees recommend a rescission of $200,000,000 from 
funds appropriated for fiscal year 1995 and unobligated 
balances carried forward into fiscal year 1995. To the extent 
possible, these reductions should be taken against low 
priority, noncritical work and not direct cleanup activities, 
or activities which do not support the safe and cost-effective 
operation and management of Department of Energy waste 
management facilities.
      This recommendation includes the $100,000,000 which was 
originally proposed in H.R. 889 by both the House and the 
Senate, and $100,000,000 of the $113,000,000 rescission for 
defense environmental restoration and waste management which 
has been proposed by the Senate during consideration of H.R. 
1158.

       kentucky, louisiana, mississippi, missouri, and tennessee

      Amendment No. 13: The conference agreement includes 
language proposed by the Senate authorizing the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers to initiate and complete remedial measures to 
prevent slope instability at Hickman Bluff, Kentucky, utilizing 
$3,000,000 appropriated in the Fiscal Year 1995 Energy and 
Water Development Appropriations Act for that purpose. The 
Senate language has been amended to include appropriate 
headings.
                              CHAPTER III

       FOREIGN OPERATIONS, EXPORT FINANCING, AND RELATED PROGRAMS

                    Multilateral Economic Assistance

                  funds appropriated to the president

                  international financial institutions

       contribution to the international development association

      Amendment No. 14: Rescinds $60,000,000 from the U.S. 
contribution to the International Development Association 
instead of $70,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House 
bill did not address this matter.

                     Bilateral Economic Assistance

                  funds appropriated to the president

                  agency for international development

      Amendment No. 15: Rescinds $7,500,000 from funds made 
available in fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995 for 
assistance to the New Independent States of the Former Soviet 
Union. In addition, the conference agreement reallocates 
$15,000,000 from the funds provided for Russian officer housing 
in Public Law 103-87 for aid to the New Independent States with 
the exception of Russia. The House had proposed a rescission of 
$110,000,000 from funds provided for Russian officer housing. 
The Senate amendment struck the House language and proposed 
certain other rescissions described below.
      The conference agreement also rescinds $12,500,000 from 
``Development assistance fund'' from appropriations provided in 
Public Law 103-306 and prior appropriations acts. The Senate 
had proposed a rescission of $13,000,000 from this account, as 
well as $9,000,000 from fiscal year 1994 and 1995 
appropriations for ``Assistance for Eastern Europe and the 
Baltic States'', and $18,000,000 from fiscal year 1994 and 1995 
appropriations for ``Assistance for the New Independent States 
of the Former Soviet Union'' of which not less than $12,000,000 
would have come from funds allocated for Russia. The House bill 
did not contain provisions on these matters.

                               CHAPTER IV

            DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND RELATED AGENCIES

                       Department of the Interior

                united states fish and wildlife service

                          resource management

      Amendment No. 16: Includes a rescission of $1,500,000 as 
proposed by the Senate of funding available to the Fish and 
Wildlife Service for activities involving the listing of 
endangered species and the designation of critical habitat. The 
provision also prohibits the Fish and Wildlife Service from 
using other funds to make final listings or critical habitat 
designations. The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conferees note that this provision has been adopted 
only to provide a brief ``time out'' from the Endangered 
Species Act listings and critical habitat designations. The 
managers will review the issue without prejudice. The 
Endangered Species Act expired in 1992, and its reauthorization 
is long overdue. The conferees fully expect the appropriate 
committees to continue their efforts to develop and pass a 
reauthorization bill.
                               CHAPTER V

                        DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

                      School Improvement Programs

                      Student Financial Assistance

      Amendment No. 17: The conference agreement rescinds 
$65,000,000 from the Education Infrastructure program as 
requested by the President. The House recommended a 
$100,000,000 rescission; the Senate included no rescission for 
this program.
      The agreement also rescinds $35,000,000 from unobligated 
funds appropriated in FY 1994 for the Pell Grant program. The 
Senate bill included a rescission of $100,000,000 for this 
purpose; the House bill included no rescission for this 
account.

                               CHAPTER VI

           DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND RELATED AGENCIES

                      DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                    Federal Aviation Administration

                        Facilities and Equipment

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

                     Federal Highway Administration

              Miscellaneous Highway Demonstration Projects

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

      Amendment No. 18: Rescinds $35,000,000 from facilities 
and equipment of the Federal Aviation Administration, and 
rescinds $12,004,450 of appropriated balances available for 
miscellaneous highway demonstration projects provided in Public 
Laws 93-87, 98-8, 98-473, and 100-71 as proposed by the Senate. 
The House bill contained no such provisions, but included a 
similar provision rescinding $35,000,000 from facilities and 
equipment of the Federal Aviation Administration in H.R. 1158. 
The conference agreement rescinds $35,000,000 of funds provided 
for the advanced automation system of the Federal Aviation 
Administration.
      The conference agreement also deletes the Senate 
rescissions of $139,948,000 of unobligated contract authority 
from highway demonstration projects that received funding in 
Public Laws 97-424 and 100-17. The House bill contained no 
similar proposals.

                    Federal Railroad Administration

                     Local Rail Freight Assistance

      Amendment No. 19: Rescinds $6,563,000 for the local rail 
freight assistance program, instead of $13,126,000 as proposed 
by the House. The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

               Pennsylvania Station Redevelopment Project

      Amendment No. 20: Rescinds $40,000,000 for the 
Pennsylvania Station redevelopment project as proposed by the 
House. The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
      The conferees agree that this action is taken without 
prejudice to the advancement of the project to redevelop the 
James A. Farley Post Office Building as a train station and 
commercial center in New York City. The project is 
unauthorized; however, the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations will consider any subsequent requests for funds 
once authorized. The conference agreement includes $21,500,000 
for capital grants to the National Railroad Passenger 
Corporation (Amtrak) under amendment number 11 to address 
emergency safety-related needs at the existing Pennsylvania 
Station in New York City.
                              CHAPTER VII

Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and 
                          Independent Agencies

                          independent agencies

      Amendment No. 21: Adds language under the Environmental 
Protection Agency, Administrative Provision, regarding Federal 
and State Implementation Plans under section 110(e) of the 
Clean Air Act. Provides for no rescission of funding for 
National Aeronautical Facilities as proposed by the Senate 
instead of $400,000,000 as proposed by the House, and adds 
language extending the availability of funds previously 
appropriated for this purpose.

                      epa administrative provision

      The conferees have included bill language which clarifies 
that any Federal implementation plan promulgated for three 
areas of California pursuant to section 110(e) of the Clean Air 
Act shall have no further force and effect, thus removing the 
cloud which exists as a result of having a promulgated but non-
enforced Federal implementation plan in effect at the same time 
a State implementation plan is undergoing the approval process 
by the Environmental Protection Agency.

                      national wind tunnel complex

      The conferees agree to no rescission of funds provided in 
the fiscal year 1995 appropriations Act for the Departments of 
Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and 
Independent Agencies (P.L. 103-327) for the National Wind 
Tunnel Complex. Language is included which extends the 
availability of $400,000,000 to September 30, 1997. However, no 
more than $35,000,000 may be obligated prior to October 1, 
1996.
      The conferees agree that NASA may use $35,000,000 to 
achieve completion of the Phase I study of wind tunnel needs 
and requirements. It is the understanding of the conferees that 
a portion of the study will identify site selection criteria 
and a short list of locations which would meet the 
requirements.
      The conferees are concerned with the state of the 
nation's wind tunnel infrastructure and encouraged that 
industry and NASA are jointly interested in finding a solution 
to the lack of adequate facilities. All the same, the conferees 
realize that the solution must include significant industry 
financial participation. Therefore, any decision by the 
Congress to move beyond the Phase I study is contingent upon 
NASA executing a Memorandum of Agreement with both the 
Department of Defense and the U.S. aviation industry, both 
commercial and military, regarding cost shares for construction 
and utilization of the complex. The conferees agree that 
industry's share of the total cost should be both substantial 
and appropriate, and NASA is to report to the Appropriations 
Committees of the House and Senate what that level of 
contribution should be.

              department of housing and urban development

               annual contributions for assisted housing

      Amendment No. 22: Deletes language proposed by the Senate 
to rescind $400,000,000 of 1995 and prior years funds earmarked 
for the development or acquisition costs of public housing.

                               Title III

                             MISCELLANEOUS

      Amendment No. 23: Includes language authorizing the 
Secretary of Transportation to issue a certificate of 
documentation to the vessel, L.R. BEATTIE, as proposed by the 
Senate. The House bill contained no similar provision.
                                Title IV

                  Mexican Debt Disclosure Act of 1995

      Amendment No. 24: Inserts new language, similar to the 
Senate amendment, entitled ``Mexican Debt Disclosure Act of 
1995''. The conference agreement differs from the Senate 
amendment in several respects:
      1. The agreement modifies section 403 to require the 
President to transmit a report to the appropriate committees of 
the Congress, not later than June 30, 1995, and every six 
months thereafter, regarding all guarantees issued to, and 
short-term and long-term currency swaps with, the Government of 
Mexico. Such reports are required to include details on changes 
in wage, price, and credit control in the Mexican economy; on 
changes in taxation policy of Mexico; on specific actions taken 
by Mexico to privatize the economy; on actions taken by Mexico 
to develop a regulatory policy that significantly affects the 
performance of the Mexican economy; on consultations between 
the United States and Mexico concerning the program approved by 
the President and conclusions resulting from periodic reviews 
undertaken by the International Monetary Fund; on all 
outstanding loans, credits, and guarantees provided to the 
Government of Mexico by United States agencies; and on the 
progress made by Mexico in stabilizing the peso and 
establishing an independent central bank or currency board.
      2. The agreement includes a new section 404 that requires 
monthly reports from the Secretary of the Treasury concerning 
all guarantees issued to, and short-term and long-term currency 
swaps with, the Government of Mexico. Such reports are required 
to include details on the current condition of the Mexican 
economy; the reserve portions of the central bank of Mexico and 
data relating to Mexican monetary policy; the amount of funds 
disbursed from the exchange stabilization fund pursuant to the 
assistance pledged by the President to Mexico; the amount of 
any funds disbursed by the Board of Governors of the Federal 
Reserve System; guarantees issued to, and currency swaps 
engaged with, Mexico by either the Department of Treasury or 
the Federal Reserve System; and the interest rates and fees 
charged to compensate the Secretary of Treasury for the risk of 
providing financing.
      3. The agreement includes a new section 405 that 
terminates the reporting requirements of section 403 and 404 on 
the date the Mexican Government has paid all obligations 
incurred in connection with the program of assistance approved 
by the President on January 31, 1995.
      4. The agreement includes a new section 406 that requires 
a certification by the President to the appropriate committees 
of the Congress prior to the extension or further utilization 
of any loan, credit, guarantee, or currency swap through the 
exchange stabilization fund or the Federal Reserve System, 
beyond those already in effect, that there is no projected cost 
(as defined in the Credit Reform Act of 1990) to the United 
States from the action; that such loans, credits, guarantees or 
currency swaps are adequately backed to ensure repayment; that 
the Mexican government is making progress in developing an 
independent bank or an independent currency control mechanism; 
that Mexico has in effect a significant economic reform effort; 
and that the President has provided the documents described in 
paragraphs (1) through (28) of House Resolution 80 as adopted 
on March 1, 1995. For the purposes of the final certification, 
any classified documents that may not have been produced to the 
House of Representatives would be produced to certain specified 
Members of Congress.
      5. The agreement modifies the definition of ``appropriate 
congressional committees'' to include the Committees on 
Appropriations of the House and Senate, and includes a 
definition for the term ``exchange stabilization fund'' as 
stated in section 5302(a)(1) of title 31, United States Code.
      The House bill contained no provision on this matter.
      Amendment No. 25: Restores the citation of the House 
passed bill in lieu of the one proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement restores the title of the House 
passed bill in lieu of the one proposed by the Senate.
