transmitted on February 26, 1999 (H. Doc. 106-32). In addition, 
the Committee addresses the special message submitted on 
February 1, 1999 (H. Doc. 106-14).
    The Committee has recommended an original Senate

 EMERGENCY GRANTS TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME MIGRANT AND SEASONAL FARMWORKERS

1999 appropriation to date..............................................
1999 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................     $20,000,000

    The Committee recommends $20,000,000 through the Emergency 
Grants to Assist Low-Income Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers 
Program to provide assistance to farmworkers in areas of 
California and Florida impacted by natural disasters.

               Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

                       Citrus Canker Eradication

    Citrus canker poses a serious threat to the $8,000,000,000 
a year Florida citrus industry. This extremely contagious 
bacterial disease has been spread by hurricanes and other storm 
systems. The impact of the spread of citrus canker is 
$200,000,000 annually in increased production costs and market 
restrictions. Detection and eradication of the disease is 
possible with existing methods and technology.
    The Committee urges the Secretary of Agriculture to utilize 
existing authorities to address this emergency and to report to 
the Committee within 30 days of enactment of this Act on the 
actions that have been taken to detect and eradicate this 
disease.

                          Farm Service Agency

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

1999 appropriation to date..............................\1\ $754,499,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................      42,753,000
Committee recommendation................................      42,753,000

\1\ Includes $40,000,000 in emergency appropriations provided by Public 
Law 105-277.

    The Committee recommends an additional $42,753,000 for Farm 
Service Agency ``Salaries and expenses'' to expedite the 
delivery of emergency and disaster assistance to farmers and 
ranchers. This funding will cover the cost of additional 
temporary staff to meet increased workload requirements.

\2\ Includes $13,696,000 in emergency appropriations provided by Public Law 105-277.

    The Committee recommends $41,300,000 to support an 
estimated $175,000,000 in additional emergency disaster loans 
to provide assistance to farmers and ranchers for farmland, 
livestock, and crop damages resulting from natural disasters.
    The Committee also recommends $29,940,000 to support an 
estimated $200,000,000 in additional direct farm ownership 
loans; $5,565,000 to support an estimated $350,000,000 in 
additional guaranteed farm ownership loans; $12,635,000 to 
support an estimated $185,000,000 in additional direct farm 
operating loans; and $16,169,000 to support an estimated 
$185,000,000 in additional subsidized guaranteed farm operating 
loans.
    Depressed farm prices and natural disasters have resulted 
in exceptionally strong agricultural credit needs. The demand 
exceeds available resources and these loan funds are nearly 
depleted.

1999 appropriation to date..............................................
1999 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................     $30,000,000

    The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for the Emergency 
Conservation Program to provide cost-sharing assistance to 
farmers and ranchers for farmland damaged by ice storms, 
tornadoes, flooding, drought, and other natural disasters. The 
Secretary of Agriculture testified before the Committee on 
February 9, 1999, on the need for this supplemental funding.

$10,000,000 in additional section 502 single-family housing 
loans, and $352,000 to support an estimated $1,000,000 in 
additional section 504 very low-income repair loans to meet 
rural housing needs in Puerto Rico resulting from Hurricane 
Georges. The Secretary of Agriculture testified before the 
Committee on February 9, 1999, on the need for this 
supplemental funding.

Committee recommendation................................       1,000,000

    The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to support additional 
section 504 very low-income housing repair grants to repair 
damages to housing in Puerto Rico as a result of Hurricane 
Georges. The Secretary of Agriculture testified before the 
Committee on February 9, 1999, on the need for this 
supplemental funding.

                               CHAPTER 2

                  FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

                  Agency for International Development

   CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN EMERGENCY DISASTER RECOVERY FUND

                     (including transfers of funds)

1999 appropriation to date..............................................
1999 supplemental estimate..............................    $621,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     611,000,000

    Total economic damages caused by Hurricane Mitch, including 
direct, indirect and replacement costs, have been estimated at 
$7,425,000,000. There have been more than 9,000 confirmed 
deaths and another 9,100 men, women and children remain 
missing. At least 3,000,000 people either were forced out of 
their homes or saw their homes destroyed.
    The Committee intends that funds for reconstruction will be 
disbursed through non-governmental organizations and local 
governments whenever possible and appropriate. AID missions 
should encourage national reconstruction plans to be designed 
and implemented with substantial input from a broad range of 
citizens' organizations. In addition, funds should be used to 
strengthen relevant government agencies and non-governmental 
organizations to monitor and prevent the misuse of funds.

                   INTERNATIONAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE

1999 appropriation to date..............................    $200,000,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................      25,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      35,000,000

    The Committee has provided full funding of the entire 
Administration request for recovery efforts. However, the 
Committee has provided $10,000,000 less in Recovery Fund 
resources and $10,000,000 more for the International Disaster 
Assistance account which has more flexible procedures for 
administering funds.

                  Other Bilateral Economic Assistance

                         ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND

1999 appropriation to date..............................  $2,367,000,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................     250,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      50,000,000

    The Committee has fully funded the Administration's fiscal 
year 1999 supplemental request for economic assistance for 
Jordan. Historically, the Committee has earmarked resources for 
Jordan substantially in excess of funds requested by the 
Administration in recognition of the key role Jordan's 
leadership has played in the peace process. The Committee views 
full funding of the supplemental request as a strong statement 
of confidence in the new leadership of King Abdullah and 
support for his government's efforts to promote economic 
stability and reform.

                          MILITARY ASSISTANCE

                  Funds Appropriated to the President

                   FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING PROGRAM

1999 appropriation to date..............................  $3,330,000,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................     650,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      50,000,000

    The Committee has fully funded the fiscal year 1999 
supplemental Foreign Military Financing grant request for 
Jordan. This request will help meet key modernization 
requirements of the Jordanian Armed Forces including the 
procurement of spare parts and services to maintain U.S. 
equipment already in inventory, replacement of munitions 
stocks, the upgrade of the HAWK air defense system with the 
procurement of additional missiles, modernization of ground 
forces with anti-armor systems, and the improvement of border 
security with training and selected equipment.

    The Committee has fully funded the Administration's 
request. The funding has been made subject to the regular 
notification procedures of the Committee on Appropriations.

                    GENERAL PROVISION, THIS CHAPTER

    Drawn down Authority.--Restores draw down authority for the 
Department of Defense to meet emerging requirements to other 
regions. The Committee intends that these replenished resources 
be used in regions other than Central America.

                               CHAPTER 3

1999 appropriation to date..............................     $50,453,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................      12,612,000

    The Committee recommends an additional $12,612,000 for 
construction to repair damage due to rain, winds, ice, snow, 
and other acts of nature in the Pacific Northwest and Nevada. 
This amount is contingent upon receipt of a budget request that 
includes a Presidential designation of the amount requested as 
an emergency requirement as defined in the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.

                         OTHER RELATED AGENCIES

                United States Holocaust Memorial Council

                       HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COUNCIL

    The Committee recommends $2,000,000 in emergency funding 
for the Holocaust Memorial Council. This amount, which is to 
remain available until expended, will allow the Holocaust 
Museum to begin work immediately on priority security needs 
identified in a recently completed threat assessment survey.

                               CHAPTER 4

                           INDEPENDENT AGENCY

                  Federal Emergency Management Agency

                  DISASTER ASSISTANCE FOR UNMET NEEDS

1999 appropriation to date..............................................
1999 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................    $313,600,000

    The Committee is transferring responsibility for awarding 
disaster assistance to states for unmet disaster needs from the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to the 
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Committee is 
concerned over HUD's continuing failure to implement an 
effective emergency disaster relief program for the ``unmet 
needs'' of states with Presidentially-declared natural 
disasters. Instead, the Committee believes that FEMA is the 
appropriate Federal agency for addressing these unmet disaster 
needs since FEMA has primary responsibility for assessing and 
responding to all natural disasters and for administering most 
primary programs of disaster assistance.
    In particular, FEMA is urged to review and respond 
appropriately to the needs of the Northeast for damage 
resulting from the ice storms of last winter. HUD failed to 
respond properly to these needs despite congressional concern 
over the ice damage. In addition, FEMA is directed to work with 
the State of Mississippi to address the damage resulting from 
the recent flooding in that state. The Committee understands 
that damage estimates provided by Mississippi total some 
$66,000,000 for buy-outs and other assistance. FEMA is again 
urged to respond appropriately. The Committee also urges FEMA 
to work to ensure that the City of Kelso, Washington, receives 
such assistance as is necessary and appropriate to compensate 
homeowners in the federally-declared disaster area impacted by 
the Aldercrest landslide.
    The Committee is concerned about creating a new Federal 
disaster program which may result in reduced state and local 
efforts to address disaster risks. The Committee urges the 
authorizing committee to review this funding and, if 
appropriate, establish program requirements and funding 
recommendations.
    This amount is contingent upon the receipt of a budget 
request that includes a Presidential designation of the amount 
requested as an emergency requirement as defined in the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as 
amended.

                     GENERAL PROVISION, THIS TITLE

    The Committee establishes an Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee 
Program to provide near term relief for U.S. steel producers. 
The Committee understands that the record level of 40,000,000 
tons of imported steel in 1998 has severely injured the U.S. 
steel industry; that the steel import crisis has resulted in 
the loss of more than 10,000 American steel worker jobs; that 
the steel import crisis has impacted the U.S. steel industry by 
reducing production volume, lowering prices, creating financial 
losses, and diminishing the ability to obtain credit; that the 
steel import crisis is directly responsible for reductions in 
the tax base of cities, counties, and states; and that a strong 
U.S. steel industry is a critical element of the U.S. defense 
industrial base, and is necessary to the defense readiness of 
the United States.
    The Committee recognizes the cash flow emergency resulting 
from the historic 1998 steel import surge, and directs the 
Secretary of Commerce, as Chairman of the Board established 
within the bill, to oversee the creation and administration of 
a guaranteed loan program at fair market rates to provide 
qualified U.S. steel producers access to a two-year, 
$1,000,000,000 revolving loan guarantee fund. The Board created 
by this amendment is directed to implement a steel loan 
guarantee program that offers the maximum benefit to U.S. steel 
companies and protection to the taxpayers.

                 TITLE II--SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS

                               CHAPTER 1

                         DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

                         counter-terrorism fund

    TOPOFF exercise.--The Committee understands the need for 
clarification of how the TOPOFF exercise should occur. In 
addition to the language provided in previous committee 
reports, contracting for this effort should be done with those 
organizations who have a known track record with ITRAP 
exercises. This actual exercise should be co-chaired and 
administered without notice by the Office of Justice Programs 
within the Department of Justice and the Response and Recovery 
Division of FEMA. The FBI shall be a participant of this 
exercise and not involved in its administration. Funding for 
this effort should be provided from available funds within the 
Counterterrorism fund. This new language should supercede any 
other report language where a conflict is apparent.
    National Domestic Preparedness Office.--The Committee has 
reviewed the Department of Justice request for approval of the 
National Domestic Preparedness Office (NDPO). The Committee 
applauds the efforts of the unofficial Director of the NDPO. 
The Committee approves the Office contingent on the following 
changes to the ``Blueprint.'' The NDPO will consult with the 
States in the development and implementation of the national 
strategy for domestic preparedness; and the NDPO will build on 
existing all-hazard emergency management system capabilities of 
local, State, and Federal agencies and incorporate the standard 
incident management system. The Committee directs the FBI to 
request from Governors of each State and territory one point of 
contact which would have direct contact with NDPO.
    Acts of terrorism are fundamentally local events. Local law 
enforcement and emergency first responders will be the first on 
the scene of any terrorist event in this country. Therefore, 
NDPO must not re-invent but, instead, build on existing 
structures and capabilities. The Committee understands that the 
primary duty of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) coordinators 
in the FBI field offices is to investigate crime scenes. In 
carrying out their additional responsibilities in the domestic 
preparedness program, the Committee expects the WMD 
coordinators to be trained in the incident command system and 
to fully cooperate with local, State, and Federal officials 
with whom they share the important responsibility of preparing 
and responding to acts of terrorism.
    The Committee also approves the NDPO reprogramming 
contingent on the clear understanding that it's role is one of 
setting standards and coordinating training assets throughout 
the Federal Government. The role of the Office of Justice 
Programs (OJP) should be to run all counter-terrorism training 
for the Department of Justice except for previously established 
programs. This training should be executed by the National 
Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) whenever possible. The 
Committee directs that if it is not possible for NDPC to be 
used then the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of 
Justice Programs shall report to the appropriate committees on 
why this is the case and what measures are being taken to 
rectify the situation. Within the Department of Justice, all 
decisions by NDPO on training standards and coordination shall 
be coordinated with the Assistant Attorney General for the 
Office of Justice Programs before implementation.
    Future funding of the NDPO will be contingent on the 
Department ensuring the NDPO and FBI field offices fulfill the 
requirements of this report language.

    The Administration is requesting $80,000,000 in increased 
funding for detention, ostensibly to incarcerate Central 
Americans displaced by Hurricane Mitch. In fact, the current 
detention crisis is rooted in the failure of the Immigration 
and Naturalization Service (INS) to adequately budget for the 
mandatory detention of criminal and illegal aliens subject to 
deportation required by the Illegal Immigration Reform and 
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. INS had 2 years to 
prepare, yet the Committee is now faced with a crisis similar 
to the disaster in naturalization that occurred 6 months ago. 
The Committee recommendation provides $80,000,000 for the 
detention of criminal and illegal aliens. The Committee has 
been informed that an additional $31,000,000 will have to be 
reprogrammed into the detention account to fully fund bed space 
needs in fiscal year 1999. The Committee also has been informed 
that the shortfall in fiscal year 1999 detention funding is 
matched by a shortfall in the fiscal year 2000 detention 
request. The Committee looks forward to working with the 
Justice Department to address this problem.
    The Committee is concerned by the continuing failure of the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to respond to 
requests for information and resource allocation pertaining to 
criminal and illegal alien detention as directed by the 
Committee. The Committee urges the receipt of previously 
requested reports on the following: (1) the feasibility of 
locating a permanent INS detention center at Salt Lake City, 
Utah and (2) the resources and training needed to address the 
overall INS mission in Utah, with specific reference to 
detention space and the number and distribution of agents 
assigned to the State.

                         Federal Prison System

                        building and facilities

    Within available fiscal year 1999 funds, not less than 
$20,000,000 shall be provided for partial site and planning for 
three facilities to house non-returnable criminal aliens being 
transferred from the Immigration and Naturalization Service 
(INS) as requested in the fiscal year 2000 request. This 
funding should be provided from carryover balances in order to 
accelerate this program. One of these facilities shall be 
located in McDowell County, West Virginia. The non-returnable 
criminal aliens come from countries which refuse to allow their 
return. They are non-releasable by law or for reasons of public 
safety. The severity of the offenses include burglary, larceny, 
drug possession and sale, assault, and homicide. When the 
Bureau of Prisons takes custody of these aliens, it will free 
up bedspace that INS can use to house shorter term detainees 
awaiting deportation.
    It is the intent of the Committee that any site selected 
for any of the three prisons would be required to meet the 
established site-selection criteria required by the Bureau of 
Prisons.

1999 appropriation to date..............................  $1,579,844,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................       5,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       1,880,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,880,000 to 
support research, management and enforcement of new regulations 
in the Northeast multi-species fishery. The Committee does not 
recommend funding an additional supplemental request of 
$3,120,000 due to funding constraints.
    The Committee is aware of a $5,600,000 shortfall in funding 
for the NOAA Corps retirement. These payments to retirees are 
not classified as mandatory until fiscal year 2000. Therefore, 
NOAA must provide $5,600,000 in payments to retirees. The 
Committee directs the Secretary of Commerce to provide a 
reprogramming not later than June 15, 1999, to address the 
shortfall, of which $1,100,000 should be transferred from 
NOAA's unobligated satellite balances. This funding had been 
proposed as an offset for an earlier reprogramming that was 
denied.
    An additional recommendation of $2,000,000 is made for the 
acquisition of shoreline data for nautical charts. Funding to 
offset this data acquisition is partially provided by 
rescinding funds from the Procurement, Acquisition and 
Construction account and the Operations, Research, and 
Facilities account for projects that are no longer an agency 
priority.

    The Committee recommends $921,000 in fiscal year 1999 to 
fund the hiring and equipping of 36 additional police officers 
to staff the security posts established to improve security for 
the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is expected to provide to 
the Committee in fiscal year 1999 a report detailing the 
Court's security needs and related cost estimates for future 
improvements.

                               CHAPTER 2

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY

    The Department of Defense has requested a total of 
$188,500,000 within the jurisdiction of the Defense 
subcommittee in new budget authority, to address the emergency 
costs arising from the recent hurricanes in Central America.
    The administration's request has designated $132,500,000 to 
replenish operation and maintenance and military personnel 
accounts used during the response effort, and $55,900,000 to 
fund expanded U.S. National Guard and Reserve New Horizons 
exercises. After consultation with the Department of Defense, 
the Committee recommends the following appropriations:
                                                               Committee
                                                          recommendation
Military personnel:
    Army Reserve........................................      $2,900,000
    Army National Guard.................................       7,300,000
    Air National Guard..................................       1,000,000

      Total.............................................     209,700,000

                          Army National Guard

    Based on the Army National Guard's review of full-time 
manning requirements in support of ongoing deployments and 
OPTEMPO, there is a shortfall in Military Technician pay 
through fiscal year 1999. The Committee recommends $20,000,000 
to the Army National Guard for this purpose. The Committee has 
also included an additional $1,300,000 for further personnel 
costs associated with the New Horizons Exercises.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS CHAPTER

    Sec. 301. The Committee includes a general provision to 
clarify availability of funds included in the Fiscal Year 1999 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act. The Department should 
follow usual reprogramming procedures to implement this 
program.

                               CHAPTER 3

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                        Bureau of Indian Affairs

                      Operation of Indian Programs

                          (transfer of funds)

    The Committee recommends $1,136,000 for suppression of 
western spruce budworm on the Yakama Indian Reservation, where 
the budworm infestation has reached epidemic levels on 55,000 
forested acres. Insecticide treatment during the summer months 
of 1999 is critical to minimizing timber losses on Yakama lands 
and on adjacent Forest Service and private lands.

                       Bureau of Land Management

                   Management of Lands and Resources

    The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for the Bureau of Land 
Management's Wyoming and Montana state offices to pay for 
activities necessary to process Applications for Permits to 
Drill (APD) in the Powder River Basin, and for other costs 
associated with the APD approval process. This increased 
workload was unanticipated in the fiscal year 1999 budget. The 
use of the funds provided is limited by the bill language so 
that conflicts between coal mining and gas drilling operations 
will be minimized. The additional funds are derived from 
unobligated balances in the Automated Land and Mineral Record 
System program.

           Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians

                         FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

1999 appropriation to date..............................     $39,499,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................       6,800,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,800,000

    The Committee recommends an additional $6,800,000 to 
support implementation of the Department's Trust Management 
Improvement Project. The amount provided is equal to the 
Administration's request. Funds would be used for the 
acquisition and implementation of an off-the-shelf, contractor-
operated system to replace lease, natural resource, and land 
records systems of the Bureau of Indian Affairs; a data clean-
up and backlog elimination effort; and improvements to the BIA 
appraisal program.

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

                             Forest Service

                        Wildland Fire Management

    Bill language is included which transfers $100,000,000 in 
unobligated balances from fire operations to the Knutson-
Vandenberg fund (``K-V fund''). The transfer will repay, in 
part, the K-V fund for amounts previously borrowed for 
emergency fire suppression activities. This action is necessary 
because the Administration failed to release funds appropriated 
in the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for 
fiscal year 1997 (Public Law 104-208) for this purpose. The 
Committees are concerned that failure to repay the K-V fund 
could mean that important reforestation and other renewable 
resource activities will be neglected in the future. The Forest 
Service's fire suppression capability, however, will not be 
jeopardized since it has $352,000,000 in emergency contingency 
funds available and, in an emergency, may still draw against 
the K-V fund.

1999 supplemental estimate..............................      11,000,000
2000 supplemental estimate..............................      37,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      18,000,000

    The Committee recommends $18,000,000 in fiscal year 1999 to 
support a contract for satellite services. The Committee 
recognizes the need to provide resources for replacement 
satellite services for the Public Radio Satellite System, 
because of the unexpected failure of its satellite last year. 
During the regular fiscal year 2000 appropriations process, the 
Committee intends to provide the balance of resources required 
to secure replacement satellite services. The President's 
budget request was for a fiscal year 1999 supplemental of 
$11,000,000 and a $37,000,000 fiscal year 2000 advance 
appropriation.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,300,000 to 
cover the incremental costs arising from the consequences of 
Hurricane Georges.

Committee recommendation................................................

    The Committee has included a technical correction requested 
by the administration which would extend the time period for 
the expenditure of funds for a new antifraud initiative from 1 
year to 2 years. This will permit adequate time to implement 
properly this new initiative.

1999 appropriation to date..............................     $10,195,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................         372,000
Committee recommendation................................................

    The Committee has not recommended supplemental 
appropriations of $372,000 for the Court of Veterans Appeals. 
The Committee understands there are funds available to 
reprogram for additional staffing requirements and is willing 
to consider expeditiously a reprogramming request.

             National Aeronautics and Space Administration

                  SCIENCE, AERONAUTICS AND TECHNOLOGY

    The Committee is aware that the recent and unforeseen 
failure of the Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) third gyroscope 
poses a real threat to the project's mission and scientific 
utility until its next regularly scheduled servicing mission in 
mid-to-late 2000. The Committee is also aware that virtually 
all of HST's contingency has been redirected to other parts of 
the space science budget to address cost problems in other 
missions. For this reason, the Committee is sympathetic to the 
need for an emergency servicing mission later this year, as 
well as restoration of the Telescope's contingency reserves. 
Moreover, because the Committee believes that the HST is 
important to our understanding of the universe, NASA is 
directed to provide the Committee with an assessment of the 
operational status of the HST, including existing damage and 
risk of additional damage. As part of this assessment, NASA is 
directed to submit a workable response plan and schedule for 
repairing the HST gyroscopes, including a proposed timetable 
for a repair mission in this fiscal year or the next fiscal 
year, as appropriate. For the costs of any repairs to the HST 
during this fiscal year, NASA is directed to submit to the 
Congress a review of all program reserves within this account 
as well as an assessment of where funding can be reprogrammed 
from within this account or another account without an adverse 
impact on other activities. The Committee also requests an 
assessment of the viability of scheduling a shuttle mission to 
repair the HST, especially since a number of scheduled shuttle 
missions may slip due to delays in the construction of the 
International Space Station.

                               CHAPTER 7

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

               Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service

    The Committee is aware of a recent approval of $5,200,000 
available from the Commodity Credit Corporation for eradication 
of the Asian Long-horned Beetle, of which $2,500,000 is set 
aside for the Chicago, Illinois area. The Committee commends 
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service [APHIS] for its 
prompt attention to the initial reports of infestation in 
Chicago. The Committee directs APHIS to move as expeditiously 
as possible to remove the infested trees in the Chicago, 
Illinois area and to work with the City of Chicago and the 
State of Illinois in their replanting efforts.

                     GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS TITLE

    Sec. 2001. Allows the Forest Service to transfer funds 
appropriated in the Interior and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 1999 (as contained in Division A, section 
101(e) of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental 
Appropriations Act, 1999 (Public Law 105-277)) to Auburn 
University for construction of a new forestry research 
facility.
    Sec. 2002. Provides a 120 day period following publication 
of the National Academy of Sciences' report required by Section 
120 of the Fiscal Year 1999 Department of the Interior and

Liberties Act of 1988 or the settlement agreement in the case 
of Carmen Mochizuki et al. v. United States. Funds shall be 
available only after the Attorney General notifies the 
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
and the Senate in accordance with the provisions of Section 605 
of the Fiscal Year 1999 Appropriations Act.
    Sec. 2004. Clarifies the intent of Congress that the honey 
loan forfeiture program shall be carried out on a ``no net 
cost'' basis.
    Sec. 2005. The amendment would extend the moratorium on the 
issuance of oil valuation regulations through the end of the 
fiscal year. The Committee believes that more time is needed in 
order to find a negotiated agreement on the rule.
    Sec. 2006. The Committee has included a general provision 
to clarify that the $2,200,000 appropriated in the 1999 VA,

1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................    -285,000,000

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $285,000,000 from 
funds appropriated for the Food Stamp Program. Revised 
estimates of program funding requirements indicate that these 
funds will not be obligated and will expire at the end of the 
fiscal year.

1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................      -5,000,000

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $5,000,000 from 
funds previously appropriated for the Office of Inspector 
General (OIG). These funds are available due to the denial of a 
reprogramming in July 1998. The Committee notes the 
Department's failure to comply with the reprogramming process 
long used to address unfunded requirements. The Committee 
expects the Department to bring the OIG budget in line with 
funds appropriated in fiscal year 1999. The Committee will not 
approve similar reprogramming requests in fiscal year 1999. The 
Committee expects the Department to address future anti-
deficiencies by transferring OIG staff to Departmental offices 
which are operating within their appropriations and have 
available funding for such staff. The Committee directs the 
Attorney General to report to the Committees on Appropriations 
on what actions will be taken to rectify this matter. This 
report should be provided not later than April 20, 1999.

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $25,000,000 from 
funds previously appropriated for citizenship and benefits, 
immigration support and program direction, which are available 
due to changing priorities within the Immigration and 
Naturalization Service.
    For the remainder of fiscal year 1999, no funds shall be

Committee recommendation................................      -1,000,000

funds previously appropriated to Operation and Maintenance, 
Defense-Wide. During fiscal year 1999, cash balances in the 
Defense Working Capital Fund are projected to increase due to 
the lower than anticipated purchase cost of fuel, and are 
available to offset this reduction.

1999 rescission request.................................      -6,800,000
Committee recommendation................................      -6,800,000

    The bill rescinds $6,800,000 appropriated in prior years

that exceed current requirements.

                               CHAPTER 6

1999 supplemental estimate..............................  \1\ -5,700,000
Committee recommendation................................ \1\ -16,000,000

\1\ Amounts represents contingency funding only.

    The Committee recommends a reduction of $16,000,000 in this 
account, which is $10,300,000 more than the reduction requested 
by the President. The reduction is taken in the unemployment 
insurance contingency fund; the revised amount for the fund 
would be $164,933,000. This fund is used to supplement the base 
administrative allocation to the states. Based on the continued 
low unemployment rates, the full amount of the contingency 
appropriations is not needed to fund State administrative 
workloads.

                Administration for Children and Families

                Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

                               (Deferral)

    The Committee has included a deferral of $350,000,000 in 
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds until 
October 1, 2001. The TANF program provides fixed block grants 
to the States totaling approximately $16,500,000,000 annually. 
These block grants have been provided to the States since 
fiscal year 1997 and will continue through fiscal year 2002. 
The Committee understands that many States have unobligated 
TANF balances that totaled $3,000,000,000 to $3,500,000,000 at 
the end of fiscal year 1998. Bill language has been included to 
ensure that the deferral of funds would come only from States 
having unobligated balances.

1999 appropriation to date..............................    $664,867,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................      -8,000,000

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $8,000,000 from 
the Fund for the Improvement of Education within the Education 
Research, Statistics and Improvement account. The Committee is 
aware that only $2,000,000 of the $10,000,000 originally 
appropriated to conduct an evaluation of voluntary national 
test development is necessary in fiscal year 1999.

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $11,300,000 from 
funds previously appropriated from the Base Realignment and 
Closure Account, Part IV.

                               CHAPTER 8

              DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

1999 appropriation to date..............................\1\ $250,000,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................    -313,600,000

\1\ Amount represents emergency funding only.

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $313,600,000 from 
the emergency community development block grants (CDBG) fund 
account which includes a rescission of carryover funding from 
fiscal year 1998. Instead, the Committee is transferring the 
responsibility for the emergency funding of unmet needs in 
Presidentially-designated disaster areas to the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Committee remains 
concerned over HUD's failure to respond to emergency disaster 
needs in a prompt manner as well as its failure to establish 
appropriate requirements and criteria, including procedures to 
ensure accountability, for the award of these emergency CDBG 
disaster funds as required by law. The failure of HUD to 
establish these program requirements and criteria has been a 
continuing problem throughout the history of emergency CDBG 
funding. The Committee believes that FEMA is in a far better 
position to award disaster funds both quickly and 
appropriately.

1999 appropriation to date..............................    $109,450,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................     -10,000,000

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $10,000,000 from 
the Climate Change Technology Initiative. These funds were 
provided in the fiscal year 1999 Omnibus Appropriations bill 
(Public Law 104-277), in addition to $99,450,000 provided in 
the fiscal year 1999 VA, HUD, and Independent Agencies 
Appropriations bill (Public Law 104-276) for this initiative. 
The amount remaining for this program for fiscal year 1999 
represents an increase of $10,020,000 above the prior year 
level, which is consistent with the recommendations made by the 
Conference Committee on the fiscal year 1999 VA, HUD, and 
Independent Agencies Appropriations bill.

                     GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS TITLE

    Sec. 3001. The Committee recommends the repeal of chapter 
1, title V of Division B of Public Law 105-277.
    Sec. 3002. The Committee recommends a rescission of 
$343,000,000 from funds appropriated with an emergency 
designation in division B of Public Law 105-277, other than 
those appropriated to the Department of Defense--Military. This 
represents a reduction of 5 percent of the non-DOD funds 
contained in division B. Within 30 days of the enactment of 
this bill the Director of OMB shall submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations a listing of the amounts by account of the 
reductions made pursuant to this section.
    Sec. 3003. The Committee recommends a rescission of 
$100,000,000 from funds appropriated for fiscal year 1999 for 
the nondefense discretionary category from savings resulting 
from revised economic assumptions from inflation adjusted 
accounts. Within 30 days of the enactment of this bill the 
Director of OMB shall submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations a listing of the amounts by account of the 
reductions made pursuant to this section.
    Sec. 3004. Requires the HUD Inspector General and GAO to 
conduct an audit of HUD to assess the extent the Department has 
been in compliance with the HUD Reform Act of 1989 over the 
last two years. The IG and GAO are required to issue a 
preliminary report to the Congress on this assessment within 6 
months and a final report within 12 months.

                    TITLE IV--TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS

    Sec. 4001. (a) Corrects statutory citations; (b) clarifies 
that the provision is permanent law; (c) corrects a section 
reference; and (d) corrects a Public Law citation.
    Sec. 4002. Corrects typographical errors.
    Sec. 4003. Changes due dates for GAO reports.
    Sec. 4004. Amends Fiscal Year 1999 Interior and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act to make technical corrections to 
certain U.S. Code references, public law citations, and dollar 
amounts.
    Sec. 4005. The bill contains technical corrections for the 
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services and Education, 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999. Clarifying 
language is included in the following areas: the Federal 
Unemployment Benefits and Allowances account within the 
Department of Labor; General Department Management, Children 
and Families Services Programs, and the Public Health and 
Social Services Emergency Fund within the Department of Health 
and Human Services; Special Education, Education Reform, 
Vocational and Adult Education, Higher Education, Education 
Research, Statistics, and Improvement, and Reading Excellence 
within the Department of Education. A technical correction is 
also made within Title V of the Act, and Title VIII is also 
amended to clarify language under the Stewart B. McKinney 
Homeless Assistance Act.
    Sec. 4006. Corrects typographical error.
    Sec. 4007. Makes technical correction to the Legislative 
Branch Appropriations Act, 1999.
    Sec. 4008. Amends Division B, Title I, Chapter 3 of the 
Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriation 
Act, 1999, to include Hurricane Georges.
    Sec. 4009. The bill contains technical corrections for the 
Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration 
capital investment grants, clarifying the scope of certain bus 
and bus facilities projects.
    Sec. 4010. The bill contains technical corrections for the 
Department of Transportation Federal-Aid Highways Ferry Boat 
and Ferry Terminal Facility Program, increasing the obligation 
limitation from $38,000,000 to $59,280,000, to reflect the sum 
of both fiscal years' 1998 and 1999 program funding levels. 
This is necessary because the Federal Highway Administration 
solicited applications for this program in June 1998, and 
planned to consolidate both years' funding together when the 
agency released the discretionary ferry grants. There is no 
scoring impact associated with this obligation limitation 
increase.
    Secs. 4011 and 4014. To correct citation errors in the 
conference report.
    Sec. 4012. The Committee has included a provision amending 
section 113 of the Fiscal Year 1999 Commerce, Justice, and

Native Claims Settlement Act which provide social services to 
Alaska Natives.
    Sec. 4013. Would incorporate provisions relating to the 
administrative costs and oversight of the Denali Commission and 
would clarify the compensation of the Federal cochairperson of 
the Denali Commission.
