                 GENERAL STATEMENT AND SUMMARY OF BILL

    The following discussion of the bill includes general 
information on initiatives and concerns of the Committee and an 
analysis of the total resources estimated to be available to 
the District of Columbia in the coming fiscal year.
    The Committee has considered requests from the President 
for Federal funds totaling $712,070,000. This amount was 
contained in the Budget of the U.S. Government--1996 
transmitted to the Congress on February 6, 1995. This amount is 
composed of $660,000,000 for the Federal payment to the 
District and $52,070,000 as the Federal contribution to the 
various retirement systems.
    The bill includes a recommendation of $712,070,000 in 
Federal funds for the District of Columbia.
    In addition to the Federal funds recommended in the bill, 
provision is also made for $5,239,122,000 in District of 
Columbia funds. These funds are generated from various taxes 
and fees levied by the District government and include 
$5,137,083,000 in operating authority and $102,039,000 in 
capital project authority. These requests were transmitted in 
messages from the President entitled, ``Budget, District of 
Columbia Government, Fiscal Year 1996'' and available as House 
Document 104-89.

                           GENERAL STATEMENT

                          D.C. Public Schools

    Despite the best efforts of the Board of Education and the 
dedication of the superintendent, the D.C. Public Education 
System is broken. The public school system is characterized by 
competition rather than cooperation; by distrust, of new ideas 
and Congress, rather than compromise; by self-interest, rather 
than the interests of the school children.
    It is among the national leaders in expenditures per 
student and near the bottom in results for that investment. The 
problems of the D.C. public schools are not individually the 
fault of the school board, the superintendent, the teachers, 
their union, the principals, the citizens of the District, or 
the Congress. The problems are everyone's fault, and the 
solutions will result from cooperation, trust, and compromise 
by all parties.
    There are successes to build upon. In many ways the 
District's public schools mirror the Nation, there are a few 
outstanding schools with outstanding programs and spectacular 
results but, like other school districts, many schools are in 
poor physical condition, programs and student outcomes are 
substandard. Needed changes in the D.C. Public School System 
will not be imposed from the Congress. Those changes must come 
from the local community, with every part, including the 
Congress, pitching in. What the Congress can do, and has a 
responsibility to do, is to create a structure within which 
change and reform will take place.
    The accompanying bill includes three provisions which 
attempt to create that structure. First there is established a 
seven member Commission on Consensus Public School Reform. This 
Commission will have broad authority to create a consensus 
around certain reform goals and then, through approval of an 
annual reform implementation plan, oversee and monitor the 
execution of that plan, retained the power to order certain 
actions, consistent with the approved reform and financial 
plans. The expenses of the Commission will be reprogrammed 
exclusively from amounts available for operations of the Board 
of Education.
    The District public schools have been studied and analyzed 
repeatedly over the last several years, meetings have been 
held, recommendations have been made all with the intention 
that this time it will be different. It will not be another 
study gathering dust on some shelf. Despite all of this, 
nothing fundamental has changed. When local school districts in 
other jurisdictions have encountered trouble often a State 
government stepped in to take control, returning authority to 
the local school district when the problem was solved or the 
crisis passed. The Nation's Capital does not have the luxury of 
another level of government to turn to, except for the Federal 
Government.
    Charter schools.--Subtitle B establishes a charter schools 
initiative for the District of Columbia to improve the 
education of students, and encourage community involvement in 
education.
    Unlike traditional public schools, charter schools operate 
under charters or contracts with school districts, State 
education agencies, or other public institutions. They are 
designed by groups of parents, teachers, school administrators, 
other members of the community, and private corporations and 
are held accountable for student performance under the terms of 
their contracts. Also, charter schools operate with 
considerable autonomy from external controls such as district, 
State, and union requirements.
    Charter schools offer great promise in reforming public 
education because they link the important factors of school-
site autonomy, parental choice, regulatory flexibility, private 
sector initiative, accountability for student outcomes, and 
community participation. The Committee believes that the 
autonomy of individual charter schools from external controls, 
such as district and union requirements, is essential for their 
success.
    To ensure charter schools' autonomy, the Committee has 
defined them as public schools that operate with independence 
from the D.C. public schools as local education agencies. This 
definition in no way removes charter schools from the oversight 
of the District of Columbia Public Schools or other charter 
granting authorities, namely the Commission on Consensus Reform 
in the D.C. public schools. Unlike traditional public schools, 
these schools must meet the terms of their charters, including 
specified student outcomes. If not, their charters can be 
revoked or not renewed.
    School facilities.--On August 14, 1995, the superintendent 
received the report on his task force on education 
infrastructure for the 21st century, ``Preliminary Facilities 
Master Plan 2005.'' This report is an excellent description of 
the physical state of the public schools and needed steps to 
remedy that state. It sets out in plain terms what the current 
condition of the public schools:

          Sixty-two percent of the District's public schools 
        are over 45 years old but only 8 of the 163 operating 
        schools have ever had total renovations.
          There is an inability to accommodate educational 
        programs and initiatives, and technology.
          There is no school building able to support a 
        comprehensive vocational or career focus to prepare 
        students for work in the 21st century.

    Based on the current number of schools and administrative 
buildings the task force estimates that it will cost 
$1,200,000,000 to restore these buildings to a state of good 
repair, and to modernize schools and provide infrastructure 
support for technology.
    The task force made four recommendations to the 
superintendent: (1) prepare a plan, with community input, for 
adaptive reuse of schools and consolidation; (2) develop two 5-
year capital improvement plans to carry out an approved 
facilities master plan which provides for a system-wide 
modernization of the D.C. public schools; (3) institute a 
management system to support the implementation of the capital 
plans; and (4) identify and develop revenue sources for the 
approved capital improvement plans.
    The identified price tag is overstated because the first 
priority is to determine how many school buildings will be 
needed for the future student enrollment. It should be noted at 
this juncture that the superintendent has ordered an 
independently verified total count of students in the fall of 
1995 to be conducted separate from the normal enrollment 
recording procedure. This will provide the basis to begin the 
review of space needs and consolidation of facilities.
    Once the decision is made on how many and in what locations 
school buildings are needed a final cost estimate can be made. 
Concurrently debate must begin on a funding mechanism. It is 
imperative that this mechanism be under the control of the D.C. 
Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority 
[DCFRA] and that any debt issued be outside the District's 14 
percent of local revenue cap on outstanding debt. This latter 
point is necessary due to the extensive deferred maintenance 
that exists in the system. Because the school physical 
infrastructure has not been maintained routinely, the city's 
normal capital program can not be expected to handle the high 
annual expenditures that will be needed over the next 10 years.
    In order for this new funding mechanism to be viable it 
will require a separate revenue stream for debt service. All 
potential sources should be considered including a small, 
short-term, dedicated reciprocal income tax to provide a stable 
and reliable source of debt service funds. Another obvious 
source is the cash flow generated by the sale or lease of 
surplus school property. The Committee requests that the Board 
of Education, District Council, and Financial Responsibility 
Authority explore options, including annual cash flow 
potential, and make recommendations for local or Federal 
legislation that would facilitate creation of an appropriate 
funding mechanism and source of income.

               blue plains wastewater treatment facility

    In January 1995 the District government submitted a report 
to the Congress on the privatization of the Blue Plains 
Wastewater Treatment Facility. The report stated that:

        * * * the [District] administration perceives that the 
        public/private partnership option can potentially 
        address the financial needs of the District waste water 
        system in a cost-effective and optimal manner * * * the 
        economic benefits to the District are numerous, and 
        include additional capital for infrastructure 
        investment, avoidance of politically negative waste 
        water rate increases, stabilization of waste water 
        costs over the long term, improvement in the District's 
        credit position and bond ratings, and reduction of 
        waste water operational and ownership risk.

    The report makes a solid case for action; however, to date 
the Committee is not aware of any further action to realize the 
benefits sited in the report. The Committee requests that the 
D.C. Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance 
Authority and city government work together to explore this, 
and other opportunities to reduce costs and increase 
efficiencies in the city government. If additional local or 
Federal legislation is required, the Committee expects that the 
appropriate committee's will be immediately notified.

Federal grant funds during fiscal year 1996.

                      Balanced Budget Recommended

operating expenses. A financial plan for each of the eight 
categories of operating expenses (1) general fund, (2) water 
and sewer fund, (3) Convention Center fund, (4) lottery and 
charitable games fund, (5) cable television fund, (6) D.C. 
General Hospital fund, (7) University of the District of

                                TITLE I

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

                   Governmental Direction and Support

    The Committee recommends a total of $510,721,000 for fiscal 
year 1996.
    [Note.--The fiscal year 1996 District of Columbia report 
and bill format represents a departure from past practice by 
including not only funds that are derived from the District's 
general revenues, so-called appropriated funds, but also 
contains amounts derived from other sources. These other 
sources include Federal and private grants or other sources 
available to finance the operations or activities of the agency 
collecting the revenue, formerly referred to as 
``nonappropriated'' revenue. Each item of the report that 
follows contains an identified amount, if any, derived from the 
general fund together with an amount, if any, identified as 
being derived from other sources. When these two amounts of 
spending authority are combined the sum is equal to the total 
spending authority contained in the bill for each agency 
contained within this appropriation account. The ``1995 
enacted'' column and the ``Budget estimate, May 1995'' column 
have been restated to provide a comparison with the Committee 
recommendation.]

                  council of the district of columbia

    The Committee recommends $8,380,000, to be derived from 
general revenues, and 143 full-time equivalent positions for 
the Council of the District of Columbia. This represents a 
decrease of $468,000 and 21 FTE positions from the 
congressionally approved 1995 budget.
    The Council exercises its legislative responsibilities 
through 13 standing committees. Proposed legislation is 
referred to an appropriate committee where all data collection, 
hearings, analysis, and other related activities are conducted.

                              d.c. auditor

    The Committee recommends the requested appropriation for 
fiscal year 1996 of $1,057,000, to be derived from general 
revenues, and 12 full-time equivalent positions. This

general revenues, so-called appropriated funds, but also 
contains amounts derived from other sources. These other 
sources include Federal and private grants or other sources 
available to finance the operations or activities of the agency 
collecting the revenue, formerly referred to as 
``nonappropriated'' revenue. Each item of the report that 
follows contains an identified amount, if any, derived from the 
general fund together with an amount, if any, identified as 
being derived from other sources. When these two amounts of 
spending authority are combined the sum is equal to the total 
spending authority contained in the bill for each agency 
contained within this appropriation account.] The ``1995 
enacted'' column and the ``Budget estimate, May 1995'' column 
have been restated to provide a comparison with the Committee 
recommendation.
    Following is a tabulation of the allocated funds by agency 
or department:

year 1996 for the public safety and justice activities funded

    [Note.--The fiscal year 1996 District of Columbia report

including not only funds that are derived from the District's 
general revenues, so-called appropriated funds, but also 
contains amounts derived from other sources. These other 
sources include Federal and private grants or other sources 
available to finance the operations or activities of the agency 
collecting the revenue, formerly referred to as 
``nonappropriated'' revenue. Each item of the report that 
follows contains an identified amount, if any, derived from the 
general fund together with an amount, if any, identified as 
being derived from other sources. When these two amounts of 
spending authority are combined the sum is equal to the total 
spending authority contained in the bill for each agency 
contained within this appropriation account. The ``1995 
enacted'' column and the ``Budget estimate, May 1995'' column 
have been restated to provide a comparison with the Committee

                  board of education (public schools)

    The D.C. Public Schools provide preschool, kindergarten, 
elementary, secondary, and continuing education programs for 
81,100 District students.
    The Committee recommends $585,956,000 and 10,477 full-time 
equivalent positions for the D.C. Public Schools.
    Of this amount, $503,270,000 and 9,324 FTE's are to be 
derived from general revenues. The remaining amounts available 
to the DCPS is made up of $75,786,000 and 1,058 FTE positions 
from Federal grant funds, $2,557,000 and 51 FTE positions from 
intra-District transfers, and $4,343,000 and 44 FTE positions 
from other funds generated by the school system.
    Everybody Wins.--Founded in 1989 Everybody Wins is a 
nonprofit foundation of local business/school partnership to 
combat illiteracy. The program was conceived following the U.S. 
Commission on Reading's finding that ``the single most 
important activity for building the knowledge required for 
eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.''
    A true bridge between the private and public sector, 
Everybody Wins matches professionals with elementary school 
children in a reading partnership that takes place once-a-week 
during lunch-hour at the school. Volunteers from the 
participating organization go to the school, meet their 
students, choose books together from the library, and then go 
get lunch from the school cafeteria. Together they then go to 
an empty classroom where they read, eat, share stories, and 
become friends.
    A program at the Brent Elementary School on Capitol Hill 
involved more than 140 members of Congress and congressional 
staff was begun in March 1995. The principal at the Brent 
School has spoken of the positive impact the relationships 
between the young volunteers and the students was having. In 
order to expand the program citywide $25,000 is included within 
the appropriation to extend the program.
    Operation FitKids and the Inner City Games.--It is no 
coincidence that the violent and often life-threatening 
conditions faced by inner-city youth today are on the rise at a 
time when our Nation's physical education programs are being 
eliminated. Physical education and after-school athletic and 
intramural programs have traditionally helped kids develop a 
life-long positive attitude toward health, fitness, and 
themselves.
    Operation FitKids and the Inner City Games is an innovative 
year-round program that can help rebuild fitness and sports in 
our schools and communities through a unique partnership. The 
program gives kids a chance to reap the physical and emotional 
benefits of an ongoing fitness regime that culminates in 
healthy competition. The overall mission is to help develop the 
basic like skills of self-confidence, teamwork and discipline, 
while keeping kids off the streets, in school, and away from 
drugs and violence.
    The superintendent intends to dedicate a team of 
professionals to develop a curriculum and operational set-up 
the Operation FitKids program in the D.C. Public Schools by 
January 1996. Within the appropriations provided $25,000 is 
dedicated to that purpose.

                teachers' retirement and annuity payment

    The Committee recommends $109,175,000, all of which is to 
be derived from general revenues, for payment to the teachers' 
retirement and annuity fund. The 1996 appropriation represents 
an increase of $22,075,000 above the congressionally approved 
1995 budget. This fund provides payments to teachers retired 
under the Disability and Service Retirement Program and for 
survivor benefits and refund payments of retirement 
contributions made by teachers leaving the retirement program 
before attaining retirement eligibility.

                 university of the district of columbia

    The Committee recommends $81,940,000 and 1,237.7 full-time 
equivalent positions for the University of the District of 
Columbia for fiscal year 1996.
    Of this amount, $47,921,000 and 731 FTE positions will be 
derived from general revenues, $10,611,000 and 155.7 FTE 
positions will be derived from Federal grant funds, $6,486,000

principally from tuition from students.
    The university offers 4 certificate programs, 49 associate 
degree programs, 75 baccalaureate, and 19 master's degrees 
programs in the liberal and fine arts; business and public 
management; education and human ecology; life science and 
physical science and engineering and technology.
    The University of the District of Columbia is the Nation's 
only exclusively urban land-grant university. As a land-grant 
institution it has a mandate to teach as well as to engage in 
basic and applied research and carry the results of that 
research to the community through extension programs and 
services.

                           d.c. school of law

    During fiscal year 1996 the school of law will be merged 
with UDC. A total of $4,653,000 and 48 FTE positions are 
included in the university's budget for DCSL. In fiscal year 
1995 the Congress approved $5,567,000 and 65 FTE positions for 
the law school.

                     education licensure commission

    The Committee recommends no appropriation for fiscal year 
1996. The functions of the commission will be absorbed by the 
Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.
    The commission has been responsible for licensing and 
regulating private, postsecondary, degree-granting 
institutions; maintaining the records of closed schools; and 
approving courses for veterans' educational benefits.

                             public library

    The Committee recommends $20,742,000 and 415 full-time 
equivalent positions for the Public Library.
    Of this amount, $19,839,000 and 408 FTE positions will be 
derived from general revenues, $446,000 and 6 FTE positions 
will be obtained from Federal grant funds, $454,000 and 1 FTE 
position will be derived from other funds generated by the 
library, and $3,000 from intra-District transfers.
    The Public Library was created to furnish books and other 
printed matter and information service convenient to the homes 
and offices of all residents of the District of Columbia. The 
Public Library system comprises a main library (Martin Luther 
King Memorial Library), 21 neighborhood libraries, 5 community 
libraries, and 2 specialized bookmobiles.

                 commission on the arts and humanities

    For the Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the 
Committee recommends a total of $2,267,000 and nine full-time 
positions for fiscal year 1996.
    An amount of $1,725,000 and 2 FTE positions, to be derived 
from general revenues, represents a decrease of $1,576,000 and 
11 FTE positions below the congressionally approved 1995 
budget. In addition, $542,000 and seven FTE positions will be 
derived from Federal funds.
    The Commission of the Arts and Humanities serves 
simultaneously as the District of Columbia's municipal arts 
agency and as its designated state arts agency.

                         Human Support Services

    The Committee recommends a total of $1,859,622,000 for 
fiscal year 1996 for the operation of the human support 
services of the District of Columbia.
    [Note.--The fiscal year 1996 District of Columbia report 
and bill format represents a departure from past practice by 
including not only funds that are derived from the District's 
general revenues, so-called appropriated funds, but also 
contains amounts derived from other sources. These other 
sources include Federal and private grants or other sources 
available to finance the operations or activities of the agency 
collecting the revenue, formerly referred to as 
``nonappropriated'' revenue. Each item of the report that 
follows contains an identified amount, if any, derived from the 
general fund together with an amount, if any, identified as 
being derived from other sources. When these two amounts of 
spending authority are combined the sum is equal to the total 
spending authority contained in the bill for each agency 
contained within this appropriation account. The ``1995 
enacted'' column and the ``Budget estimate, May 1995'' column 
have been restated to provide a comparison with the Committee 
recommendation.]

community.

                          commission for women

    The Committee recommends a total of $20,000 and no full-
time equivalent positions. All of these funds will be generated 
from private sources. This represents a decrease of $262,000

budget.
    The commission functions are to improve the economic status 
of women and their families through legislative initiatives, 
community-based forums, policy dialogs and roundtable

energy plans, identifies energy issues, prepares energy supply 
and demand forecasts, develops energy emergency contingency 
plans, and participates in various proceedings before the 
Public Service Commission.

                              Public Works

    The Committee recommends a total of $297,568,000 for the 
activities to be funded under this account during fiscal year 
1996.
    [Note.--The fiscal year 1996 District of Columbia report 
and bill format represents a departure from past practice by 
including not only funds that are derived from the District's 
general revenues, so-called appropriated funds, but also

                       department of public works

    The Committee's recommendation is $161,227,000 and 1,896 
full-time equivalent positions.
    Of this amount, $90,145,000 and 1,140 FTE positions will 
come from general revenues; $50,629,000 and 656 FTE positions 
will be obtained from intra-District transfers; $17,771,000 and 
68 FTE's will be derived from other funds generated by the 
department; and $2,682,000 and 32 FTE positions will come from 
Federal grant funds.
    The Department of Public Works is responsible for 
maintaining the District's physical infrastructure, collecting 
and disposing of solid waste, administering motor vehicle 
regulations, and maintaining all of the District's vehicles and 
equipment except those of the departments of police, fire, 
public schools, and corrections.
    The department is specifically responsible for the 
District's 1,157 miles of roadway, 259 bridges, 1,300 
signalized intersections, 66,000 streetlights, 16,000 parking 
meters, 248,000 registered vehicles, 175,000 licensed drivers, 
1,800 miles of sanitary/combined sewers, 1,286 miles of water 
mains, and 3,868 vehicles and items of equipment.

                           taxicab commission

    The Committee has included $1,501,000 and 18 full-time 
equivalent positions for the Taxicab Commission for fiscal year 
1996.
    Of this amount, $930,000 and 18 FTE positions are to be 
derived from general revenues, and $571,000 are to be derived 
from other funds generated by the commission.
    The D.C. Taxicab Commission is responsible for the 
regulation of taxicabs and passenger vehicles for hire in the 
District.

            washington metropolitan area transit commission

    The Committee recommends the full requested appropriation 
of $96,000, to be derived from general revenues, for the 
commission for fiscal year 1996.
    The commission administers and carries out the delegated 
powers of the Washington metropolitan area regulation compact. 
The compact confers upon the commission jurisdiction over the 
regulation and improvement of specified transportation within 
the metropolitan area.

             washington metropolitan area transit authority

    The sum of $130,899,000 is recommended for fiscal year 
1996, to be derived from general revenues. This represents an 
increase of $4,000,000 above the congressionally approved 1995 
budget.
    The responsibility of the transit authority includes the 
planning and construction of a 103-mile Metrorail system, the 
establishment of recommended fares, and the determination of 
funding sources for the various programs.

                         school transit subsidy

    The recommended amount is $3,845,000, to be derived from 
general revenues, for the school transit subsidy. This program 
provides a subsidy for reduced-fare transportation of school 
children who use Metrobus or Metrorail for educationally 
related transportation.

                        Financing and Other Uses

    The Committee recommends a total of $273,717,000 for the 
activities to be funded under this account during fiscal year 
1996.
    [Note.--The fiscal year 1995 District of Columbia report 
and bill format represents a departure from past practice by 
including not only funds that are derived from the District's 
general revenues, so-called appropriated funds, but also 
contains amounts derived from other sources. These other 
sources include Federal and private grants or other sources 
available to finance the operations or activities of the agency 
collecting the revenue, formerly referred to as 
``nonappropriated'' revenue. Each item of the report that 
follows contains an identified amount, if any, derived from the 
general fund together with an amount, if any, identified as 
being derived from other sources. When these two amounts of 
spending authority are combined the sum is equal to the total 
spending authority contained in the bill for each agency 
contained within this appropriation account.]
    A comparative summary by agency follows:

                   washington convention center fund

    The Committee recommends $5,400,000, to be derived from 
general revenues, for the Washington Convention Center for 
fiscal year 1996.
    The Washington Convention Center was constructed to foster 
the economic revitalization goals of the District of Columbia 
through convention and tourism promotion.

                    repayment of loans and interest

    The Committee recommends approval of the budget request of 
$257,787,000 for fiscal year 1996, to be derived from general 
revenues.
    The repayment of loans and interest provides funds for cash 
outlays for debt service on the District's long-term borrowing 
to finance capital project expenditures and a portion of the 
amortized cost for private hospitals.

                repayment of general fund recovery debt

    The Committee recommends the request of $38,678,000, to be 
derived from general revenues, for fiscal year 1996 to cover 
the principal and interest due on $336,605,000 in 12-year 
general recovery bonds issued to eliminate the general fund 
deficit.

                          short-term borrowing

    The Committee recommends $9,698,000, to be derived from 
general revenues, for short-term borrowing in fiscal year 1996.
    This amount will fund interest expense on short-term 
borrowings of $250,000,000 expected during fiscal year 1996 to 
meet cash flow needs.
    Cash flow issues are generally caused by timing differences 
between the receipt of certain revenues and the need to 
disburse cash for operating needs, such as pension checks, 
payroll checks, or food stamp payments.

                      optical and dental benefits

    The Committee recommends no appropriation for this account, 
as requested by the District government, in fiscal year 1996. 
In past years funds had been used to pay for vision and dental 
care benefits for nonunion D.C. government employees and their 
dependents.

                             pay adjustment

    The Committee recommends no appropriation for this account, 
as requested by the District government, in fiscal year 1996. 
In past years this amount has been used to provide for the 1996 
pay increases and annualization of the 1995 pay increases 
negotiated for police officers, firefighters, employees in 
compensation units 1 and 2 as well as a comparable 5-percent 
increase for nonunion employees.

             pay renegotiation or reduction in compensation

    The bill contains language that requires the Mayor to 
reduce personal services by $46,409,000. This is to be 
accomplished by decreasing the rates of compensation for 
District government employees.

                             rainy day fund

    The Committee recommends $4,563,000 for the rainy day fund, 
which is to serve as a contingency source of funds to meet 
unforeseen financial needs of the District. The fund may be 
accessed only with approval of the Council upon the 
recommendation of the Mayor. There was no such account in 1995.

                   boards and commissions rescission

    The Committee recommends a reduction of $500,000 from 
various boards and commissions.

                    government reengineering program

    The Committee recommends a reduction of $16,000,000, which 
is assumed from agency consolidations and eliminations, 
procurement reform, privatization, and program and service 
reengineering.

                        incentive buyout program

    The Committee recommends $19,000,000 as the fiscal year 
1996 cost of incentive easy-out and early-out retirement buyout 
programs. In fiscal year 1995 these costs were paid out of 
individual agency's accounts, in 1996 these costs will be paid 
from a central account.

                      retirement incentive program

    Language is included in the bill under this heading 
providing for the reduction of an additional 1,000 full-time 
equivalent positions from District-wide retirement and 
voluntary severance incentive programs with no associated 
savings because of buyout and severance payments.

                              outplacement

    The Committee recommends $1,500,000, to be derived from 
general revenues, to provide outplacement services for 
employees who leave the government involuntarily.
    Services would include counseling for stress and financial 
management; access to automated job information services; 
information from regional governments concerning job banks; 
workshops on writing resumes; and access to office equipment to 
aid in the job search. In addition, former employees may 
qualify for up to a $500 reimbursement of the relocation costs 
actually incurred to move to a new job site more than 50 miles 
from the District.

                         d.c. general hospital

    The Committee recommends $115,034,000 and 1,760 full-time 
equivalent positions for the operations of the D.C. General 
Hospital, the only public hospital in the city.
    Of the amount recommended none is to be derived from 
general revenues, however, $62,350,000 and 865 FTE positions 
will be derived from intra-District transfers and $52,684,000 
and 895 FTE positions will come from other funds generated by 
the hospital.

                            Enterprise Funds

   d.c. financial responsibility and management assistance authority

    The Committee recommends $3,500,000, to be derived from 
general revenues, and 35 full-time equivalent positions. This 
amount will support the operations of the D.C. Financial 
Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority, created by 
Public Law 104-8, the District of Columbia Financial 
Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority Act of 1995.

   water and sewer utility administration--department of public works

    The Committee recommends for the Water and Sewer Utility 
Administration, Department of Public Works, a total of 
$204,329,000 and 1,024 full-time equivalent positions for 
fiscal year 1996.
    The amount of $199,152,000 and 924 FTE positions are to be 
derived from general revenues, $4,744,000 and 100 FTE positions 
are to be derived from intra-District transfers, and $433,000 
will be derived from other sources.

                          washington aqueduct

    The Committee recommends $39,524,000 and 271 full-time 
equivalent positions for fiscal year 1996.
    None of the FTE positions are counted as part of the 
District's limitation. These positions are filled by employees 
of the Federal Government and should not be included in the 
District's FTE count. The Washington Aquaduct is operated on 
the District's behalf as an independent entity by the Army 
Corps of Engineers.
    The Washington Aqueduct collects, purifies, and pumps 
potable water for the District of Columbia, Arlington County, 
and a portion of Fairfax County, VA.

               lottery and charitable games control board

    The Committee's recommendation for the Lottery and 
Charitable Games Control Board is $229,808,000 and 88 full-time 
equivalent positions for fiscal year 1996.
    Of the funds recommended, $221,808,000 are derived from the 
operations of the Board and $8,142,000 are derived from intra-
District transfers.
    The lottery board administers the legalized lotteries and 
on-line numbers games, in addition to regulating the conduct of 
charitable games in the District.

                       office of cable television

    The Committee recommends $2,351,000 and eight full-time 
equivalent positions in fiscal year 1996 for the Office of 
Cable Television.
    The Office monitors the compliance of the District's 
private cable provider with the terms and conditions of the 
cable franchise agreement. The Office also serves as an 
advocate for cable subscribers in resolving disputes, 
recommends strategies for using the technology to enhance 
economic development, and other related matters.
    Of the amount recommended, $2,019,000 and eight FTE 
positions will be derived from general revenues, and $332,000 
will be derived from the operations of the Office.

                      washington convention center

    On August 12, 1994, the Council of the District of Columbia 
enacted D.C. Act 10-314, the Washington Convention Center 
Authority Act which became effective October 1, 1994. This act 
created the Washington Convention Center Authority and 
transferred operational control of the existing convention 
center to that authority. The act also provided that the 
authority would be responsible for construction and operation 
of an expanded convention center.
    The authority is governed by a nine member board and has 
the power to issue revenue bonds and to finance undertakings in 
the area of convention facilities. Debt would be serviced by 
dedicated taxes, the increased hotel occupancy tax, and 
business franchise taxes.

                   d.c. sports commission (starplex)

    The Committee recommends $6,392,000 and 66 full-time 
equivalent positions, to be derived from the operations of the 
Commission.
    The Commission, formerly the D.C. Armory Board, is governed 
by an 11 member Board and operates the Robert F. Kennedy 
Stadium and D.C. Armory. All funds recommended are earned from 
tenant charges for facilities rent and various services 
provided to tenants and clients. Additional revenue is earned 
from parking fees and concessions sales from events held at the 
armory facilities.

                             CAPITAL OUTLAY

    The Committee recommends the fiscal year 1996 request of 
$82,850,000.
                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    The bill contains various general provisions which are 
contained annually in appropriations bills. The following 
summarizes the Committee recommendations pertaining to these 
provisions:
    The Committee recommends various changes throughout the 
general provisions for style and updating.
    The Committee recommends retaining section 131 which 
prohibits the use of Federal funds to provide for salaries, 
expenses, or other costs associated with the offices of U.S. 
Senator or U.S. Representative under the District of Columbia 
statehood constitutional convention initiative.
    Section 150 extends to 3 years the length of time the 
General Services Administration has to transfer property, as 
authorized by Public Law 103-67, to Columbia Hospital for 
Women. Preliminary inspections conducted prior to planned 
conveyance have raised environmental concerns. This additional 
time will permit GSA to assess and remove the problem items.
