                          Purpose and Summary

    The purpose of this legislation is to reauthorize federal 
funding for the operations, maintenance, security and capital 
repair of the Kennedy Center established in P.L. 103-279, the 
Kennedy Center Act Amendments of 1994. Funding under H.R. 3504, 
as amended, includes a total of $59 million for operations, 
maintenance and security through FY 2003; and $87 million for 
capital improvements through FY 2003. These totals are in 
addition to existing authority contained in P.L. 103-279 for FY 
1999 operations, maintenance and capital improvement.

                          Need for Legislation

    The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is a 
national presidential monument and living memorial. The 
building was constructed in the late 1960's, and was officially 
opened in September 1971. The concept of a National Cultural 
Center was initiated by the Eisenhower Administration, and in 
1958 was federally chartered by Congress. In 1964 Congress 
changed the designation to honor the late President Kennedy.
    Funds for the construction costs of $78 million came from 
three sources: private donations of $34.5 million; $23 million 
appropriated by Congress; and a federally approved bond issue 
of $20.4 million, dedicated to the construction of the parking 
garage.
    The Kennedy Center contains approximately 1.5 million 
square feet of space, and today, houses eight theaters: the 
Concert Hall (2,700 seats); the Opera House (2,300 seats); the 
Eisenhower Theater (1,100 seats); the Terrace Theater (500 
seats); the Theater Lab (400 seats); the Encore Cabaret (200 
seats); the American Film Institute (200 seats); and the 
Millennium Stage. In addition, the building houses three 
restaurants; office, meeting and rehearsal space; twenty-three 
elevators, six escalators, and 2,000 doors; and five public 
halls or galleries. The facility is situated on 17 acres of 
land in an area known as Foggy Bottom, along the Potomac River. 
The Center currently has parking for 1,450 cars. However, under 
legislation enacted in 1997, parking will expand by an 
additional 800-900 spaces, in order to accommodate the heavy 
demand. In 1997, the Center hosted 1.7 million patrons, who 
attended 2,800 performances; and accommodated 3.5 million 
visitors touring the building during the day. It is estimated 
that the cost to construct the Kennedy Center in today's 
dollars would exceed $500 million.
    When the Kennedy Center opened in 1971, popularity exceeded 
expectations, and the National Park Service required additional 
funds to operate and maintain the facility. In FY 1972 Congress 
appropriated $1.5 million to the Park Service, and continued 
funding the operations of the building through 1994, when 
Congress transferred responsibility of the building to the 
Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. From 1972 to 1994, Congress 
appropriated $103 million for operations and maintenance for 
the Center, of which the Kennedy Center reimbursed the Park 
Service approximately $42 million for its share of maintenance 
in connection with performing arts functions. P.L. 103-279 
transferred operational responsibility of the building to the 
Board of Trustees, and beginning in FY 1995, funds for 
operations were appropriated directly to the Kennedy Center. 
Since then, Congress has appropriated approximately $10.5 
million per year for operations. In FY 1998 Congress 
appropriated $11.3 million, recognizing a growing backlog of 
minor repair items needing attention.
    Between 1989 and 1994, Congress appropriated $61 million 
for major renovations to the building, including replacement of 
the roof and the rebuilding of the parking garage. Of that 
amount, $14 million went for repayment of prior maintenance 
work performed by the Park Service. Until 1989, the only major 
repair project was a temporary roof replacement which took 
place in 1976.
    In 1991, Congress began regular funding of capital 
improvements. The building was showing signs of aging, and no 
major effort had gone into systems replacement. However, the 
arrangement between the Park Service and the Center for the 
contracting of construction work became increasingly 
cumbersome. There was a lack of coordination in scheduling the 
construction work, which led to interference with important 
theater events and performances. Many times, construction work 
was suspended in order to allow production companies access to 
the building to set up or build theater set designs.
    Congress also was impaired by the effects of the split 
jurisdiction. The Committee on Public Works and Transportation, 
now known as the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure, was the committee of jurisdiction over the 
Kennedy Center, since it authorized the construction of the 
facility. However, the Committee on Natural Resources, now 
known as the Committee on Resources, had jurisdiction over the 
structure as a memorial to the late president. When Congress 
enacted P.L. 103-279, the Natural Resources Committee 
relinquished its role in the operational aspects of the Center 
and transferred all jurisdiction over the Center to the 
Committee on Public Works and Transportation.
    P.L. 103-279 provided a five year authorization for 
operations, maintenance, and security at a level of $12 million 
per year through FY 1999; and capital improvements for the 
Center at a level of $9 million per year through FY 1999. The 
legislation also transferred responsibility for these functions 
from the National Park Service to the Board of Trustees of the 
Kennedy Center. This change was viewed as an important 
milestone for the Center. Now the Center has the independence 
to contract for improvements to accommodate the performance 
schedules of the theaters.
    In addition, P.L. 103-279 required the Center to prepare 
and submit to Congress a five year comprehensive plan, referred 
to as the master plan. This plan details the remaining capital 
improvement work on the Center, and recommends the sequence for 
which the work will take place. The legislation also required 
an annual update of the master plan, with appropriate changes. 
The first plan was submitted to Congress in the summer of 1995, 
and updates have been submitted annually. This plan addresses 
the remaining work, including the renovation of the Opera House 
and the Central Block of the structure.
    While the Kennedy Center did not have sufficient in-house 
capability to contract for major construction work when these 
changes were enacted in 1994, it has relied on other federal 
agencies, such as the Corps of Engineers and the General 
Services Administration, for its contracting needs. The General 
Accounting Office (GAO) has reviewed the Center's management 
and controls, and noted in testimony that the Center has 
developed a facility management capability that accurately 
tracks and manages appropriated funds usage. The Center has 
purchased four modules of a computer-integrated facility 
management system to assist in the management of the Center's 
inventory of assets and maintenance functions, including 
preventive maintenance, demand maintenance, and preventive maintenance. 
The Center also has developed a data base in which all other data from 
all other modules are to be maintained.
    GAO, in its testimony on March 25, 1998, recommended that 
Congress delete the requirement of a periodic audit of the 
Center conducted by GAO. There is sufficient management control 
in place, and a GAO audit only duplicates the annual audit for 
which the Center contracts to accompany its annual reports. 
There appears to be sufficient confidence in the management of 
the Kennedy Center to eliminate the need for a periodic audit 
by GAO.
    P.L. 103-279 also provided for those Park Service employees 
associated with the management of the Center, to be transferred 
to the employ of the Center with no loss of federal service. To 
date, approximately 55 former Park Service employees are now 
employed by the Center. Additionally, the Center contracts for 
routine services, including: cleaning; security; maintenance of 
systems; inspections; and environmental and safety upgrades, 
among other activities.
    The Center also contracts for major renovations. The recent 
renovations to the Concert Hall were completed on time and 
within a revised budget. Accessibility to the Concert Hall now 
meets the requirements mandated in the Americans with 
Disabilities Act. The roof replacement is now complete, and was 
completed under budget, and roof terrace repairs are 
substantially complete. Security system enhancements are 95% 
complete. Chiller replacement is complete. Interior lighting 
has been replaced. All of the work performed has been 
accomplished with four in-house contracting personnel of the 
Center.
    H.R. 3504, as amended, extends authority, first provided in 
1991, and continued under the 1994 legislation, to make needed 
changes to the structure for the long term. As originally 
drafted, the bill would have provided an eleven year 
authorization for maintenance, repairs and security, as well as 
capital improvements. This bill, endorsed by the 
Administration, provides funding for the Center to renovate the 
Opera House and Central Block, including rehearsal rooms, 
office space, and mezzanine modernization. Work will also 
include implementation of repairs to protect the building from 
water intrusion, provide additional life safety and fire safety 
measures, and provide improved accessibility for the disabled 
and egress for visitors to the Center. All of these efforts 
have been identified as work under Phase II of the master plan, 
which incorporates the recommendations of the Interpretative 
Master Plan and Signage Program, Energy Master Plan, and Space 
Use Master Plan. The reported bill limits the authorization to 
five years, but will not interfere with the renovation plans of 
the Center.
    The bill further provides the Center with greater 
flexibility for undertaking major renovations to the facility. 
P.L. 103-279 stipulated that federal funds could only be spent 
on the structure in existence at the time of passage of the 
1994 legislation. This language would have the unintended 
consequence of prohibiting the Center from improving, enhancing 
or modernizing the building, and making needed changes to the 
interior of the building, such as adding a mezzanine level to 
the Opera House. Section 2 of the bill allows the Center to 
make such changes to the building that maintains its 
functionality, and section 3 allows the Center to operate and 
maintain those changes to the building using federal funds. The 
prohibition of the use of federal funds for performing arts use 
still remains in effect.
    The Opera House renovation will involve the reconfiguration 
of the entry to the facility, in order to make the facility 
accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and 
provide better emergency egress for life and fire safety. This 
will involve the redesign of the interior space to create added 
floor area, including the expansion of the box-tier mezzanine 
into the grand foyer, to keep the same numbers of seats. 
Otherwise, these changes will result in the loss of several 
hundred seats, and would impact the financial viability of the 
Center. By designing these modifications in such a way to 
maintain the current seating capacity, the Center will maintain 
the functionality of the Opera House, and meet modern standards 
for fire safety, life safety, and accessibility.
    Authorizations contained in H.R. 3504, as amended, includes 
the following levels of funding for maintenance, repair and 
security; an increase from $12 million to $13 million in FY 
1999, $14 million for each year in FY 2000-2001, and $15 
million for each year in FY 2002-2003, for total new authority 
of $59 million. Capital project funding includes an increase 
from $9 million to $20 million in FY 1999, $20 million for each 
year in FY 2000-2001, $19 million in FY 2002, and $17 million 
in FY 2003, for a total of $87 million. Funding for capital 
projects are larger in the first three years of this 
authorization in order to provide sufficient authority to cover 
the cost of the renovations to the Opera House and Central 
Block of the building, all of which is expected to cost 
approximately $60 million.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis

Section 1. Short title

    Section 1 provides the short title of the act as the ``John 
F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Authorization Act of 
1998''.

Section 2. Capital repair duties

    Section 2 clarifies section 4(a)(1)(G) of the John F. 
Kennedy Center Act regarding the purposes for which capital 
repairs may be made to the building. The 1994 amendments added 
this section which restricted the use of appropriated funds to 
the existing building, and prohibited the use of appropriated 
funds for building additions. Section 2 restates current law to 
clarify the objective of the capital improvements to bring the 
building facilities up to modern standards, including standards 
of life safety, security, accessibility that are not referenced 
in current law. This clarification also allows the Board to 
design and execute capital improvements that maintain the 
functionality of the building's facilities.

Section 3. Operations and maintenance duties

    Section 3 modifies section 4(a)(1)(H)(ii) of the Kennedy 
Center Act to allow the Board to maintain facilities of the 
building that are added subsequent to the 1994 amendments. 
Those amendments limited the expenditure of Federal funds to 
operate and maintain the building as it existed at the time of 
passage of the 1994 amendments. Subsequent facility 
modifications such as a new traffic circulation pattern to 
enhance security could not be maintained unless current law is 
modified to allow the expenditure of funds for this and other 
purposes.

Section 4. Repeal of audit requirement

    Section 4 deletes section 6(d) which required the General 
Accounting Office to audit, at least once every three years, 
the accounts of the Kennedy Center for the purpose of auditing 
the expenditure of Federal funds authorized by the Kennedy Center Act.

Section 5. Authorization of appropriations

    Section 5 amends section 12 of the Act to increase 
authorizations for maintenance, repair and security for FY 1999 
from $12 million to $13 million, and authorizes $14 million for 
FY 2000, $14 million for FY 2001, $15 million for FY 2002 and 
$15 million for FY 2003. Total new authority is $58 million.
    Section 5 also increases authorization for capital 
improvements in FY 1999 from $9 million to $20 million, and 
authorizes $20 million in FY 2000, $20 million in FY 2001, $19 
million in FY 2002 and $17 million in FY 2003. Total new 
authority is $87 million.

                        Committee Consideration

    H.R. 3504, the ``John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing 
Arts Authorization Act'' was introduced on March 19, 1998, by 
request, by Congressman Bud Shuster and Congressman Jim 
Oberstar. The bill was referred solely to the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure, and in turn referred to the 
Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Economic Development. The 
Subcommittee held a hearing on the bill on March 25, 1998, and 
on April 30, 1998 favorably reported the bill by voice vote, 
with an amendment in the nature of a substitute.
    Clause 2(l)(2) (A) and (B) of rule XI requires that a 
majority of a committee be present in order to report a 
measure; and that each committee report include that total 
number of votes cast for and against each roll call vote on a 
motion to report the measure and the names of those members 
voting for and against. The Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure at a meeting on May 6, 1998, a quorum being 
present, unanimously approved H.R. 3504, as amended, by voice 
vote, and ordered it reported.

                      Committee Oversight Findings

    Pursuant to clause 2(l)(3)(A) of rule XI of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, oversight findings and 
recommendations have been made by the Committee as reflected in 
this report.

                        Cost of the Legislation

    Clause 7 of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives does not apply where a cost estimate and 
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974 has been timely submitted prior to the filing of the 
report and is included in the report. Such a cost estimate is 
included in this report.

                     Compliance With House Rule XI

    1. With respect to the requirement of clause 2(l)(3)(B) of 
rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives, and 
308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee 
references the report of the Congressional Budget Office 
included below.
    2. With respect to the requirement of clause 2(l)(3)(D) of 
rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the 
Committee has received no report of oversight findings and 
recommendations from the Committee on Government Reform and 
Oversight on the subject of H.R. 3504.
    3. With respect to the requirement of clause 2(l)(3)(C ) of 
rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives and 
section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the 
Committee has received the following cost estimate for H.R. 
3504 from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office.

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                       Washington, DC, May 6, 1998.
Hon. Bud Shuster,
Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 3504, the John F. 
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Authorization Act of 
1998.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Christina 
Hawley Sadoti.
            Sincerely,

    Enclosure.

               congressional budget office cost estimate

H.R. 3504--John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Authorization 
        Act of 1998

    Summary: H.R. 3504 would provide additional authorizations 
in the amount of $146 million for capital projects, operations, 
and maintenance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the 
Performing Arts for fiscal years 1999 through 2003. Because 
H.R. 3504 would not affect direct spending or receipts, pay-as-
you-go procedures would not apply.
    H.R. 3504 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(UMRA).
    Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimated 
budgetary impact of H.R. 3504 is shown in the following table.
    The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 
500 (education, training, employment, and social services).

    Basis of estimate: H.R. 3504 would amend the John F. 
Kennedy Center Act to reauthorize appropriations for the John 
F. Kennedy Center. The bill would authorize spending on 
maintenance, repair, and security at $13 million for 1999, $14 
million for each of fiscal years 2000 and 2001, and $15 million 
for each of fiscal years 2002 and 2003. Capital projects would 
be authorized at $20 million annually for fiscal years 1999-
2001, $19 million for fiscal year 2002, and $17 million for 
fiscal year 2003. Currently these functions are authorized 
through fiscal year 1999--maintenance, repair and security at 
$12 million and capital projects at $9 million. Thus, enactment 
of H.R. 3504 would result in a net increase in authorizations 
of $12 million for fiscal year 1999 and $146 million over the 
1999-2003 period. Assuming that the amounts authorized are 
appropriated and that spending follows historical outlay 
patterns, H.R. 3504 would result in increased outlays of $112 
million during fiscal years 1999-2003.
    Pay-as-you-go considerations: None.
    Intergovernmental and private-sector impact: H.R. 3504 
contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as 
defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 and would 
not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.

Sadoti. Impact on State, Local, and Tribal Governments: Marc 
Nicole. Impact on the Private Sector: Jean Wooster.
    Estimate approved by: Paul N. Van de Water, Assistant 
Director for Budget Analysis.
