                     GENERAL STATEMENT AND SUMMARY

    The Committee recommends new budget (obligational 
authority) of $1,943,008,000 for the legislative branch, for 
fiscal year 2002. This total is $103,875,000 below the budget 
request and $103,143,000 above the fiscal year 2001 level. The 
bill excludes House items pursuant to the normal protocol.
    The bill includes $1,094,296,000 for title I, Congressional 
Operations, exclusive of House items. This includes 
$603,735,000 for the Senate, $13,940,000 below the revised 
request. Within title I is $155,903,000 for the Architect of 
the Capitol, $67,636,000 below the request primarily due to the 
decision to defer funding for the Capitol Dome renovation 
project and lower estimates for personal services costs. Full 
funding has been provided to the Congressional Budget Office 
and the Congressional Research Service.
    Title II, Other Agencies, totals $848,712,000, a reduction 
of $16,399,000 below the request. Within title II, highlights 
include $419,843,000 for the General Accounting Office, 
$7,951,000 below the request and $35,823,000 above the enacted 
level. The increase will enable GAO to staff up to its 
authorized level of 3,275 FTEs. For the Library of Congress, 
the $362,059,000 is recommended, $1,088,000 below the request.
    The Committee expects all agencies to notify the Committee 
of any significant departures from budget plans presented to 
the Committee in any agency's budget justifications. In 
particular, agencies funded through this bill are required to 
notify the Committee prior to each reprogramming of funds in 
excess of $250,000 between programs, activities, or object 
classifications. This includes cumulative reprogrammings that 
together total at least $250,000 from or to a particular 
program, activity, or object classification. The Committee 
desires to be notified of reprogramming actions which involve 
less than the above-mentioned amounts if such actions would 
have the effect of changing an agency's funding requirements in 
future years or if programs or projects specifically cited in 
the Committee's reports are affected.
    The Committee also expects all agencies to submit operating 
plans for the Committee's approval within 30 days of the bill's 
enactment.
    The detail by major support agency is as follows:

leaders solely for the discharge of their appropriate 
responsibilities in connection with official visits to the 
United States by members of foreign legislative bodies and 
representatives of foreign governments and intergovernmental 
agencies. The recommended amount is to be divided equally

    The Committee has no objection to the Sergeant at Arms 
moving staff positions between divisions without a formal 
reprogramming request but expects to be notified of such 
changes.
    The Committee requests that the Senate Sergeant at Arms and 
Doorkeeper and the Secretary of the Senate jointly develop and 
implement with the approval of the Committee on Rules and 
Administration, an educational program for Senate staff on the 
Senate Waste Recycling Program. The Committee also requests 
that the program include an overview of the existing recycling 
services and the process offices should follow to participate 
in the program. The Architect of the Capitol is to cooperate 
with the Senate Officers on the program and will provide 
quarterly updates to the Committee on the effectiveness of the 
recycling program.
    The Committee wishes to ensure all members have adequate 
funds for notifying their constituents of town meetings, and 
urges the Committee on Rules and Administration to consider 
this issue.

which authorizes the Secretary of the Senate to appoint and fix 
the compensation of a superintendent and other positions for 
the Office of Public Records. In addition, under the authority 
of Public Law 95-521, October 26, 1978 (Ethics in Government

the act shall be available within 15 days after a report is

        senators' official personnel and office expense account

Appropriations, 2001....................................\1\ $251,929,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................     285,494,000
Committee recommendation................................     270,494,000

\1\ Reflects rescission of $1,274,000 per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation for fiscal year 
2002 of $270,494,000 for the Senators' Official Personnel and 
Office Expense Account.
    This account funds salaries and benefits of Senators' 
staffs as well as the office expense allowance for Senators' 
offices. These funds were formerly carried under several 
accounts including: ``Administrative, clerical and legislative 
assistance to Senators;'' ``Agency contributions,'' under the 
heading ``Salaries, officers and employees;'' and ``Official 
office expense allowances.'' Those separate appropriations were 
merged into this single account in Public Law 100-137.
    The Senators' official personnel and office expense 
allowance [SOPOEA] is comprised of three components. Two of 
these are for salaries of personnel in Senators' offices. The 
allowance for administrative and clerical assistance is based 
on the population of States, beginning with States with a 
population of fewer than 5 million people to States with a 
population of 28 million or more. The table illustrates the 
allowances per population category and the States which fall 
into those categories.
    The second component of the salaries allowance is for 
legislative assistance to Senators, as authorized by Public Law 
95-94. This allowance provides funding for three positions in 
each Senator's office at an annual rate of $140,559 for a total 
of $421,677 per office, or $42,167,700 for all 100 Senators.
    The third component of the SOPOEA is for office expenses. 
Each Senator's office is allocated an amount for office 
expenses, as displayed in the following table, including the 
Committee on Rules and Administration's reallocations of the 
official mail. In addition, an amount of $200,000 is provided 
to cover additional expenses that may be incurred in the event 
of the death or resignation of a Senator, and to provide for 
transitional expenses during election years subject to 
regulations set by the Committee on Rules and Administration 
with respect to official mail.
    It should be noted that the amounts provided for the 
various components of the SOPOEA are entirely fungible. Amounts 
provided for salaries may be used for expenses, and vice versa, 
subject to regulations set by the Committee on Rules and 
Administration with respect to official mail. It should also be 
noted that the figures in the following table are preliminary, 
and that official notification of member budgets is issued by 
the Financial Clerk of the Senate after final passage of this 
bill.
    The following table illustrates the several components of 
the SOPOEA.

    According to the most recent employment data compiled by 
the Secretary of the Senate, as of April 30, 2001, there were 
3,984 individuals employed in Senators' offices throughout the 
United States and covered by this appropriation.

U.S. Senate Senators' staff as of September 30, 1992-2000 and April 30, 
2001.

    In addition to providing funds for compensation of 
employees within Senators' offices, this appropriation also 
provides for agency contributions for those employees; that is, 
the Senate's share, as an employer, of the various employee 
benefit programs for which Senate employees are eligible. These 
payments are mandatory, and fluctuate according to the programs 
in which employees are enrolled, the level of compensation, and 
the degree of participation. Budget requests for this account 
prepared by the Financial Clerk must be based on both 
experience and evaluation of trends. The fiscal year 2002 
request for this account anticipates $64,282,000 in agency 
contribution costs.
    The amount recommended by the Committee for the SOPOEA is 
less than would be required to cover all obligations that could 
be incurred under the authorized allowances for all Senators. 
The Committee is able to recommend an appropriation of a lesser 
amount than potentially necessary because Senators typically do 
not obligate funds up to the absolute ceiling of their 
respective allowances. In fact, a number of offices spend less 
than their total allowances. Evidence of this can be found in 
the semiannual report of the Secretary of the Senate. At the 
direction of this Committee in the Fiscal Year 1996 Legislative 
Branch Appropriations Act, the Secretary's report now includes 
summary information on each Senator's authorized allowance, 
expenditures made, and the balance, if any.
    In the alternative, the Committee could recommend an 
appropriation to fund fully the sum total of all the authorized 
allowances. For fiscal year 2002, that would mean an 
appropriation of $290,494,000, $20,000,000 more than 
recommended.

                       senate official mail costs

Appropriations, 2001....................................        $300,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................         300,000
Committee recommendation................................         300,000

    For the official mail costs of the Senate, the Committee 
recommends an appropriation of $300,000, which is the same as 
the budget request.

                       Administrative Provisions

    Sec. 1. This provision authorizes 2 additional consultants 
each for the majority and minority leaders, and authorizes an 
additional consultant for the President Pro Tempore.
    Sec. 2. This section authorizes a student loan repayment 
program for the Senate. In attempting to attract and retain 
qualified individuals to work in the Federal Government, in 
1990 Congress created a student loan repayment program for 
executive branch agencies (Public Law 101-510). The Committee 
recognizes that members, Senate Committee offices and the 
internal support operations of the Senate must be as successful 
as the executive branch in attracting and retaining qualified 
employees. The Committee intends for this program to be a tool 
for recruitment and retention purposes, and a benefit to 
employees, not an entitlement.
    Sec. 3. This section provides that agency contributions for 
the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control be paid by 
the ``Salaries, Officers and Employees'' account.
    Sec. 4. This is a technical provision which will bring 
consistency to the treatment of telecommunications expenses, 
which are now obligated based on the end date of the service 
period, rather than the initial date of the service period as 
is the case for other administrative expenses of Senate 
offices.
    Sec. 5. This provision increases the administrative expense 
limitation to $100,000 each for the Conference of the Majority 
and Conference of the Minority.
    Sec. 6. This provision increases by $50,000 the allowance 
for administrative and clerical assistance.

                              JOINT ITEMS


                        joint economic committee

Budget estimate, 2002...................................       3,424,000
Committee recommendation................................       3,424,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,424,000 for 
the Joint Economic Committee. This is an increase of $109,000 
over the enacted level to provide for cost-of-living increases 
for current staffing levels.

                      joint committee on taxation

Appropriations, 2001....................................      $6,416,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................       6,733,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,733,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,733,000 for 
salaries and expenses of the Joint Committee on Taxation. This 
is an increase of $317,000 over the enacted level to 
accommodate cost-of-living increases and a 1 percent 
meritorious pay increase.

                   Office of the Attending Physician

Appropriations, 2001....................................      $1,831,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................       1,765,000
Committee recommendation................................       1,765,000

    The Committee recommends the appropriation of $1,765,000 
for the Office of the Attending Physician. The Office was first 
established by House Resolution 253, adopted December 5, 1928. 
The decrease below the enacted level is attributable to lower 
equipment expenditures projected for fiscal year 2002.

    The Committee continues funding the operations of the 
entire U.S. Capitol Police Force within joint items under the 
heading ``Capitol Police Board.''

                             Capitol Police


                                salaries

Appropriations, 2001....................................     $99,140,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................     111,922,000
Committee recommendation................................     112,922,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $112,922,000 
for the salaries of the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), of which 
$55,296,000 is for the Capitol Police appointed by the Sergeant 
at Arms of the House and $57,626,000 is for the Capitol Police 
appointed by the Senate Sergeant at Arms.
    The amount provided covers salaries, benefits, and overtime 
costs. Capitol Police personnel are also eligible for hazardous 
duty pay, a clothing allowance, and comparability pay similar 
to locality pay adjustments granted other Federal law 
enforcement personnel in the Washington, DC, area. Capitol 
Police personnel on the Senate detail are the only Senate 
employees eligible for such comparability pay.
    The USCP's 2000 review of the 1998 U.S. Capitol Security 
Review identified an optimum staffing level of 1,694 FTEs. 
Therefore, the Committee is disappointed the USCP will not hire 
up to the staffing level recommended in fiscal year 2001. Total 
staffing is expected to remain at 1,402 FTEs in fiscal year 
2001. Therefore, the USCP has revised its estimate for hiring 
in fiscal year 2002 to 79 additional staffing, for a total of 
1,481, the number it had originally expected to attain in the 
current fiscal year. The Committee has reduced the budget 
request by $4,000,000 to reflect this revised staffing 
estimate.
    The Committee has recommended $5,000,000 for comparability 
pay, including $2,350,000 for House salaries and $2,650,000 for 
Senate salaries. This increase provides for comparability in 
the pay scales of the USCP and the U.S. Park Police and 
Uniformed Secret Service.

                            general expenses

Appropriations, 2001....................................      $6,757,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................      10,394,000
Committee recommendation................................      12,394,000

    The Committee recommends $12,394,000 for general expenses 
of the Capitol Police. Expenses include office supplies and 
equipment, laundry and dry-cleaning, communications, motor 
vehicles, uniforms and equipment, investigations, training, and 
miscellaneous items.
    Of the amount provided, $3,637,000, the increase over last 
year's level is attributable to additional training 
requirements, including increasing officer training by 40 hours 
per year, and recapitalizing and augmenting training equipment 
and supplies; expenses related to the recruitment of new 
officers; and improving the USCP administrative infrastructure 
to improve accountability of funds and for other purposes.
    The Committee has included $2,000,000 for the accelerated 
upgrade and installation of a new networked In-Place Monitoring 
System.
    The Committee fully supports the USCP's plans to replace 
the remaining foreign-manufactured motorcycles with 24 
American-made motorcycles and recommends $168,000 for this 
purpose.
    The Committee directs that USCP procure a visual alarm 
management system in fiscal year 2002 to enhance significantly 
security capabilities not possible with conventional management 
systems.
    Over the years, the perimeter of the Capitol Hill Campus, 
including the jurisdiction of the Capitol Police, has expanded 
well beyond the Capitol building, and the Senate and House 
office buildings. Within this perimeter are multiple police 
forces--including the Capitol Police, the Library of Congress 
Police, and the Government Printing Office Police. The 
importance of consistently applied security policies and 
practices, efficient management of resources, and fair and 
equitable treatment of law enforcement personnel suggests the 
need for an updated evaluation of the feasibility of 
consolidating all Capitol Hill police forces. Therefore, the 
Committee directs that GAO, in consultation with all 
stakeholders, conduct a study of the feasibility of 
consolidating all Capitol Hill police forces into a single 
entity. This study should assess the management, structural, 
human capital, and operational aspects of merging the uniformed 
services and administrative components of the Capitol Hill 
police forces, including the responsibilities that are unique 
to each of the agencies (e.g., the Librarian of Congress' 
responsibility for collection security). The study also should 
identify issues to be addressed prior to merging the Capitol 
Hill police forces to ensure an orderly transition, including 
the protection of the rights of affected staff. It should also 
include recommendations concerning the cost effectiveness, 
efficiency, and desirability of a Capitol Hill police force 
consolidation. GAO should report to the Committee and the 
Capitol Police Board not later than 6 months after enactment of 
this Act.

                       Administrative Provisions

    The Committee has included the routine provision (Sec. 101) 
which allows for funds to be transferred between the 
``Salaries'' and ``General expenses'' accounts.

               Capitol Guide and Special Services Office

Appropriations, 2001....................................      $2,371,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................       2,512,000
Committee recommendation................................       2,512,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,512,000 for 
the Capitol Guide and Special Services Office. This provides 
for 55 FTEs, the same as the current level.

                      Statements of Appropriations

Budget estimate, 2002...................................          30,000
Committee recommendation................................          30,000

    The Committee recommends $30,000 for the preparation of 
detailed statements of appropriations as required by law. This 
account is used as payment for the preparation of the volumes, 
``Statements on Appropriations,'' for the first session of the 
107th Congress. These volumes show annual appropriations made, 
indefinite appropriations, and contracts authorized, along with 
a chronological history of regular appropriations bills. The 
volumes are compiled jointly by the Senate and House Committees 
on Appropriations pursuant to a directive in the Legislative 
Appropriations Act of June 7, 1924.

\1\ Reflects $4,004 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,059,000 for 
the salaries and expenses of the Office of Compliance, as 
authorized by section 305 of Public Law 104-1, the 
Congressional Accountability Act of 1996. This amount is an 
increase of $243,000 over fiscal year 2001, will accommodate a 
3.7 percent cost-of-living increase and funding for 15 FTEs.

                      CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE

Committee recommendation................................      30,680,000

\1\ Reflects $63,000 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $30,680,000 
for the Congressional Budget Office. The amount recommended 
represents an increase of $2,250,000 or 7.9 percent above the 
fiscal year 2001 level. Most of the increase is attributable to 
non-discretionary pay and benefit increases. In addition, the 
amount would provide for 4 additional staff, for a total of 232 
FTEs.

                       Administrative Provisions

    Sec. 102. This provision authorizes CBO to establish an 
employee training program similar to that authorized for the 
Executive Branch.
    Sec. 103. This provision authorizes CBO to sell older 
equipment and apply the proceeds to the purchase of new 
equipment used for the same purpose.
    Sec. 104. This program authorizes the Director of CBO to 
establish a Student Loan Repayment Program, as the executive 
branch has had the authority for since 1990, within available 
funds. The purpose of this program is to improve recruitment 
and retention of highly qualified personnel with expertise 
necessary to perform CBO's unique mission. The provision 
authorizes CBO to repay student loans with the same limited 
caps as required by the statute governing the executive branch.

                        ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

    The Committee has recommended a funding level of 
$155,903,000 for all activities of the Architect of the Capitol 
pertaining to direct support of the Congress. Excluded are 
House items which are traditionally left for consideration by 
that body. Additional funds are recommended in title II of the 
bill for the Architect's activities relative to the structural 
and mechanical care of the Library's buildings and grounds, and 
the Botanic Garden.
    The following table shows the request and the Committee 
recommendation:

                     Capitol Buildings and Grounds


                           capitol buildings


                         Salaries and Expenses

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................     $44,624,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................     111,835,000
Committee recommendation................................      55,000,000

\1\ Reflects $98,000 rescission and $1,033,000 supplemental per Public 
Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $55,000,000 
for salaries and expenses for the Architect of the Capitol, the 
Assistant Architect of the Capitol, other personal services, 
surveys and studies in connection with activities under the 
care of the Architect, and necessary expenses for the 
maintenance, care, and operation of the Capitol electrical 
substations of the House and Senate office buildings. Of this, 
$5,000,000 is available until expended. The amount provided 
includes $45,000,000 for the operating budget and $10,000,000 
for the capital budget.
    The Committee has not approved the AOC's full request for 
additional personnel funds, because funding for staffing levels 
provided in fiscal year 2001 were not achieved. In fact, over 
$7,000,000 budgeted for staff has been reallocated by the 
Architect--without the Committee's approval--into non-personnel 
activities. Therefore, the Committee has reduced the personal 
services budget in this account by $4,136,000 below the 
request. However, the amount provided represents an increase of 
$1,759,000 or 7 percent over the current year estimate and the 
Committee expects these funds will be used to hire key 
personnel in such areas as financial management and worker 
safety. No funds are to be reprogrammed from worker safety-
related activities.
    The Committee has not funded the full request for Phase II 
of the Capitol Dome rehabilitation project at the Architect's 
request, as the Architect has indicated this project should be 
postponed. Instead, funding for painting and related work 
needed in the interim, totaling $1,605,000, is recommended.
    The Committee has included $8,395,000 for capital projects 
other than the painting of the Capitol Dome. None of these 
funds are to be expended prior to the submission of a detailed 
justification and prioritization to the Senate and House 
Committees on Appropriations and prior approval of the 
Committees. The Committee expects the highest priority will be 
placed on safety and security needs.
    The Committee directs the Architect to submit on a 
quarterly basis the status of all ongoing capital projects 
including funds allocated, unobligated balances, original 
planned completion date, and current anticipated completion 
date.
    Any improvements or changes in information technology on 
the Senate side of the Capitol must be coordinated with the 
Committee on Rules and Administration and the Senate Sergeant 
at Arms.
    Management issues.--The Committee is very troubled by 
persistent management shortcomings within the Architect of the 
Capitol's operation, including an unacceptably high level of 
worker injuries; inadequate financial management; the lack of 
strategic planning; personnel problems, including some 
unqualified individuals in key positions; and project 
management.
    The Committee is very troubled that the Architect of the 
Capitol does not engage in long-term strategic planning. For 
example, the Architect of the Capitol has taken a reactive 
approach to the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, 
waiting for citations from the Office of Compliance rather than 
developing a strategy for compliance. The Committee directs the 
Architect to submit a report on its long-range plan for 
complying with the Congressional Accountability Act, including 
a timeline.
    Over the past several years, Congress has passed 
legislation such as the Government Performance and Results Act 
and the Chief Financial Officers Act, with the intent of 
improving the overall management and efficiency of the Federal 
Government. Some legislative agencies, while not required to, 
have elected to implement these laws because they view them as 
prudent management practices. The Committee strongly recommends 
that the AOC follow these management ``best practices.''
    In addition, the Architect does not have a long-term 
capital plan, despite its reference to its capital budget as a 
5-year plan. In reality, the projects and associated funding 
change dramatically from year-to-year leaving the Congress 
without a clear vision of its long-range capital requirements 
and priorities. The Architect is directed to contract within 30 
days of enactment of this Act for necessary expertise to 
develop a 5-year master plan for the Capitol complex.
    Worker safety.--With respect to worker safety, the AOC's 
injury rate is the highest in the Federal Government--17.9 
injuries per 100 workers--355 cases last year--compared to the 
Federal Government rate of 3.95. The Committee expects that 
life safety issues will be a top priority, and directs the 
Architect to submit a quarterly progress report and to conduct 
root cause analysis that will enable a better understanding of 
the nature and cause of such injuries. The Committee expects 
the AOC to strive to attain a pristine worker safety record 
befitting the U.S. Congress.
    Chief Financial Officer.--The Architect of the Capitol 
urgently needs a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to begin 
essential financial management reforms. Recent efforts by the 
Architect to appoint a CFO have been unsuccessful. The 
Committee directs the Architect to consult with the Comptroller 
General in filling this critical position. The Committee 
expects the Comptroller General, or his designee to participate 
in the announcement, interview, and selection process of a 
qualified individual for this position. Bill language has been 
included requiring that the Architect appoint a CFO not later 
than 90 days after enactment of this Act. In the meantime, the 
Architect is to consult with the Comptroller General regarding 
alternative ways of meeting urgent financial management needs 
including the possible detail of a GAO employee to the AOC 
until a CFO can be appointed.
    Recycling Program.--The Committee is troubled that the 
Senate Waste Recycling Program has not improved in the last 
year and prior-year report language on this program seemingly 
has been ignored. The Architect of the Capitol is directed to 
participate in a program being jointly developed and 
implemented by the Secretary of the Senate and the Senate 
Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper and approved by the Senate 
Committee on Rules and Administration to educate staff on how 
to properly recycle. Further, the Architect is directed to 
contract for a best-practices review of its recycling program 
and recommendations for improvement, and to submit quarterly 
reports to the Committee on the status of the recycling 
program.
    Parking.--The Committee is concerned that the Architect of 
the Capitol has failed to consider adequately the implications 
of its capital projects on parking within the Capitol complex. 
In order for the Sergeant at Arms to plan for alternative 
parking needed due to the displacement of parking caused by 
capital projects, the Sergeant at Arms needs timely and 
accurate advance notice. The Committee directs the Architect of 
the Capitol to make this a priority and to notify the Senate 
Sergeant at Arms of all construction projects that may now or 
in the next 5 years have an impact on Senate parking services. 
The Architect of the Capitol is to work in cooperation with the 
Sergeant at Arms to develop a strategic plan which ensures that 
parking needs are met for the Senate.
    Biobased products.--The Committee encourages the Architect 
of the Capitol and the Sergeant at Arms to use environmentally-
friendly biobased products wherever practical in the 
maintenance, cleaning and new construction of the Capitol and 
Senate facilities. Biobased products, made from soybeans, corn, 
wheat, forestry and other natural materials, offer numerous 
environmentally friendly ways to clean, lubricate, construct 
and provide energy for Federal facilities. They can help reduce 
air and water pollution, curtail waste disposal problems and 
reduce potentially toxic substances in buildings and the 
environment at large. These products can also offer improved 
performance and potential cost savings.

                            capitol grounds

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................      $5,350,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................       7,754,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,000,000

\1\ Reflects $12,000 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,000,000 for 
Capitol Grounds for the care and improvements of the grounds 
surrounding the Capitol, the Senate and House office buildings, 
and the Capitol Power Plant. The recommendation includes 
$5,300,000 in operating funds and $700,000 for the capital 
budget.
    Again, the Committee has reduced the budget for personal 
services below the request level, by $500,000, owing to the 
Architect's failure to utilize fully its personnel budget for 
the current fiscal year.
    Pursuant to the normal protocol, the Committee has not 
included funding for House items.
    The Committee directs that no new Senate projects or 
activities be undertaken with funds provided in this or 
previous appropriations acts without the prior written approval 
of the Committee, and that the Committee be notified in writing 
in advance of any new Senate projects or activities to be 
undertaken with the funds provided for annual maintenance, 
repairs, alterations, or miscellaneous improvements.

                        senate office buildings

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................     $63,833,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................      53,551,000
Committee recommendation................................      47,500,000

\1\ Reflects $141,000 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $47,500,000 
for maintenance of the Senate office buildings. The decrease 
below the enacted level is attributable to the completion of 
the Dirksen building renovation, for which approximately 
$19,000,000 was provided in fiscal year 2001. Of the total, 
$3,400,000 is available until expended.
    The appropriation includes $42,000,000 for the operating 
budget and $5,500,000 for the capital budget.
    The Committee has again reduced the request for personal 
services, by $3,637,000 in this account, owing to the fact that 
over $2,700,000 in funds provided last year for this account 
were reallocated out of personnel funds into other activities. 
The amount recommended does, however, represent an increase of 
$1,645,000 over the current budget. This increase is to be used 
to fill critical positions in such areas as life safety.
    The Committee has not recommended a specific allocation of 
the $5,500,000 capital budget. Instead, the Architect of the 
Capitol is to submit a detailed justification and 
prioritization for the allocation of funds. No funds are to be 
spent prior to the approval of the Committee.
    All information technology related projects must first be 
coordinated with the Senate Sergeant at Arms.
    The Committee is pleased with the Architect of the 
Capitol's management of the Dirksen renovation project and 
expects this model to be followed in other capital projects 
wherever possible.

                          capitol power plant

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................     $39,328,000
Budget estimate, 2002 \2\...............................      50,399,000
Committee recommendation................................      47,403,000

\1\ Reflects $87,000 rescission per Public Law 106-554.
\2\ Includes a pending budget amendment of $3,300,000 for the West 
Refrigeration Plant expansion (+$3,550,000) and coal hauling 
(-$250,000).

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $47,403,000 
for the operations of the Capitol Power Plant. This is 
supplemented by $4,400,000 in reimbursements. Of the amount 
provided, $3,300,000 shall remain available until expended. The 
recommendation includes $42,578,000 for the operating budget 
and $4,825,000 for the capital budget.
    The amount recommended for the operating budget reflects a 
reduction of $2,372,000 from the water and sewer payment 
included in the budget request for a 1990 arrearage which will 
be paid in fiscal year 2001 through reprogrammings. The amount 
also reflects a reduction of $624,000 in personal services 
below the request, owing to the fact that $370,000 in funds 
provided last year for this account were reallocated out of 
personnel funds into other activities.
    Approximately 80 percent of the recommended amount is for 
the purchase of electricity from the local private utility, 
payment to the government of the District of Columbia for the 
provision of water and sewer services, and the procurement of 
boiler fuel, as displayed in the following table.

Fiscal year 2002 estimated utility costs

                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................      39,270,000

    The balance of this appropriation supports a work force to 
operate and maintain the Power Plant. The Power Plant provides 
heat, light, power, and air-conditioning for the Capitol, 
Senate and House office buildings, and the Library of Congress 
buildings; heat, light, and power for the Botanic Garden and 
the Senate and House Garages; light for the Capitol Grounds' 
street, park, and floodlighting system; steam heat for the 
Government Printing Office and Washington City Post Office, 
also known as Postal Square; and steam heat and air-
conditioning for the Union Station complex, Folger Shakespeare 
Library, the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, and 
the U.S. Supreme Court Building on a reimbursable basis.
    No funds within the capital budget are to be spent prior to 
approval by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
of a detailed justification and prioritization for each 
project.

\1\ Reflects $161,902 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $81,139,000 
for the Congressional Research Service. The amount recommended 
is an increase of $7,709,000 over the fiscal year 2001 level. 
Approximately $4,220,000 of this increase is needed for 
mandatory cost-of-living and other pay and inflation-related 
increases. The balance is needed to acquire the technical 
staff, skills and tools necessary to address complex 
information and technology policy issues, to conduct 
collaborative research, and to apply technology to work and 
communication processes.

    The following table compares the component categories 
within this account for fiscal year 2002. The Committee has not 
recommended separate amounts for each activity in order to give

Committee recommendation................................       5,829,000

\1\ Reflects $7,000 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends $5,829,000 for salaries and 
expenses of the Botanic Garden. The increase of $2,508,000 is 
attributable primarily to the anticipated reopening of the 
Conservatory in November 2001. The recommendation includes 
$4,132,000 for the operating budget and $1,697,000 for the 
capital budget. The decrease of $300,000 below the request is 
attributable to the fact that funds provided for personal 
services in fiscal year 2001 were not fully utilized. To date, 
over $800,000 has been reallocated out of personal services 
this year.
    Funds are provided to the Botanic Garden to collect, 
cultivate, and grow the various flora of the United States and 
other countries for exhibition and display to the public and 
for study material for students, scientists, and garden clubs.
    The Committee directs that no funds for capital projects be 
allocated prior to the submission of a detailed justification 
and prioritization to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations and their prior approval.
    The Committee encourages the Botanic Garden to work with 
and form partnerships with other garden institutions to gain 
valuable assistance and expertise, including the Chicago 
Botanic Garden on school and community gardening programs.

\1\ Reflects $842,244 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $297,775,000 
for salaries and expenses of the Library of Congress and 
approves authority to spend receipts of $6,850,000 in fiscal 
year 2002. This is $500,000 above the request.
    The amount recommended is a decrease of $84,221,000 below 
the enacted level, owing to the one-time appropriation of 
$99,780,000 in fiscal year 2001 for the National Digital 
Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program and the 
fact that the Center for Russian Leadership Development is 
funded separately in this bill. The amount will provide for 
mandatory pay and price level increases of $12,566,199.
    American Folk Life Center.--The Committee recommends the 
budget request of $2,013,975 for the American Folk Life Center, 
including an additional 9 FTEs. The increase will enable the 
Center to preserve and make accessible to the public the 
priceless sound recordings in their collection. In addition, 
the amount provided includes $250,000 for the Veterans Oral 
History Project which will involve collecting interviews and 
documentary material, such as letters, maps and photographs, 
from American veterans of World War I, World War II, Korea, 
Vietnam and the Gulf War.
    Storage infrastructure upgrades.--The Committee encourages 
the Library within available funds to acquire storage 
infrastructure upgrades so that the Library's information 
systems and applications meet all of the established Critical 
Infrastructure Protection requirements established in 
Presidential Decision Directive 63 and 67, providing full-time 
access to this critical information. This infrastructure should 
have heterogeneous connectivity to all existing systems at the 
Library of Congress.
    Law Library.--The Committee supports not less than the full 
budget request of $9,091,712 and 94 FTEs for the Law Library. 
This is an increase of $1,443,025 over the current level and 
includes additional resources to reduce the arrearage. The 
Committee expects the Law Library arrearages to be eliminated 
not later than the end of 2003.
    Lincoln Commission.--The amount recommended includes 
$500,000 for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission 
(authorized by Public Law 106-173), which will receive 
administration support services from the Library of Congress.
    GAO study.--The General Accounting Office is directed to 
conduct a study to evaluate the viability of using profits from 
the Library's retail sales activities to support other Library 
activities. The study should include an evaluation of the 
potential for generating such profits and the policies and 
procedures for the control of products, licensing agreements, 
and use of the Library's logo. The Comptroller General will 
work in consultation with the Librarian of Congress in 
evaluating options and alternatives and will report to the 
Committee and the Joint Committee on the Library by March 31, 
2002.

    The Committee recommends the direct appropriation of 
$12,837,000 for the Copyright Office and approves authority to 
spend receipts of $27,864,000 in fiscal year 2002, for a total 
of $40,701,000. This is an increase of $2,263,000 over the 
enacted level. The amount recommended reflects the Library's 
revised request for the Copyright Office. Further analysis of 
the Office's total systems requirements is needed before any 
further acceleration of the Copyright Office's electronic 
registration, recordation, and deposit system (CORDS) is 
undertaken. The amount recommended will accommodate all 
mandatory pay and price level increases, totaling $1,883,000, 
and includes $380,000 to implement business process re-
engineering plans for the registration and recordation 
processes.

             Books for the Blind and Physically Handicapped


                         salaries and expenses

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................     $48,502,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................      49,765,000
Committee recommendation................................      49,765,000

\1\ Reflects $106,940 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $49,765,000 
for salaries and expenses for Books for the Blind and 
Physically Handicapped. This is an increase of $1,263,000 over 
the fiscal year 2001 level needed to accommodate mandatory pay 
and price level increases.
    This appropriation supports a National Reading Program for 
blind and physically handicapped citizens. Books and magazines 
in braille and various recorded formats are produced by the 
National Library Services for the Blind and Physically 
Handicapped for distribution through a network of State and 
locally supported libraries. At present, 57 regional libraries 
in 49 States, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, 
Puerto Rico, and Guam house and circulate books and magazines 
to eligible readers. Eighty subregional libraries in 17 States 
assist at the local public library level; 53 libraries and 4 
cooperating agencies distribute sound reproducers. Two 
multistate centers, under contract to the National Library 
Service, store and distribute books and other materials in 
their geographical regions. The Librarian has estimated a 
readership of 759,000 individuals in fiscal year 2001.

                       Furniture and Furnishings

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................      $4,881,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................       8,599,000
Committee recommendation................................       8,532,000

\1\ Reflects $10,762 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,532,000 for 
Library furniture and furnishings in 2002. This is an increase 
of $3,651,000 over the current budget. The amount provided 
includes funding for the purchase of new equipment, estimated 
at $5,824,000. It does not include the request of $67,000 for 
new workstations for the CORDS project, as this project has 
been put on hold. The increase over the enacted level is 
attributable primarily to a one-time increase of $3,205,000 for 
film preservation equipment.
    The Committee expects that the ``Furniture and 
Furnishings'' account will be incorporated into the Library's 
other appropriation accounts beginning in fiscal year 2003 to 
reflect more fully program costs.

                       Administrative Provisions

    The Committee has included the routine administrative 
provisions, sections 201 to 206.
    The Committee has added a new subsection (c) to section 
206, which enables FEDLINK and the Federal Research Division to 
borrow from Library appropriations for initial capitalization 
of the new revolving fund established for these two former 
Economy Act programs.
    The Committee has added a provision, section 207, that 
makes a technical correction to the Library of Congress Fiscal 
Operations Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-481). The 
current phrasing is ``audio and video duplication and delivery 
services,'' which unintentionally limits the duplication 
service to video materials, i.e., not film or other moving 
image formats from the Library's audiovisual collections.
    Finally, section 208 amends the Library of Congress Fiscal 
Operations Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-481) to add 
special events and programs activities to the revolving fund 
established in the Act, which brings these activities under the 
Library's revolving fund accounting and reporting requirements.

                        ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL


                         Capitol Visitor Center

Appropriations, 2001....................................................
Budget estimate, 2002...................................................
Committee recommendation................................      $1,000,000

    The Committee has included $1,000,000 for continued 
planning, engineering, design and construction activities for 
the Capitol Visitor Center.

                         Congressional Cemetery

Appropriations, 2001....................................................
Budget estimate, 2002...................................................
Committee recommendation................................      $2,500,000

    The Committee recommends a one-time appropriation of 
$2,500,000 for the Congressional Cemetery. The Committee 
expects these funds will be augmented by privately-contributed 
funds.
    This appropriation is to be allocated only upon submission 
to and approval by the Committee of a spending plan, including 
plans for self-sufficiency beyond this appropriation. Upkeep of 
the Congressional Cemetery is not a responsibility specifically 
authorized for the Architect of the Capitol as this is a 
privately-owned cemetery. However, the Committee is concerned 
with the state of disrepair of this 33-acre historic site where 
a number of Members of Congress are buried along with privates 
and generals of the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, Mexican 
War, and Union and Confederate soldiers, as well as craftsmen 
and architects of the Capitol, Indian chiefs, and foreign 
diplomats.
    The Committee notes that $1,000,000 was provided in fiscal 
year 1999 for the Congressional Cemetery, made available on a 
matching basis to create an endowment for upkeep of the 
Cemetery under Public Law 105-275.

                     Library Buildings and Grounds


                     structural and mechanical care

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................     $15,935,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................      21,402,000
Committee recommendation................................      18,753,000

\1\ Reflects $35,000 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $18,753,000 
for the care and maintenance of the Library buildings and 
grounds by the Architect of the Capitol, of which $6,878,000 
shall remain available until expended. The recommendation 
includes $10,553,000 for the operating budget and $8,200,000 
for the capital budget, including $5,000,000 for the Audio-
Visual Conservation Center.
    The personal services budget has been reduced by $744,000 
below the request owing to the fact that funds provided for 
personal services were not fully utilized in fiscal year 2001. 
To date over $400,000 has been reallocated from personal 
services.
    The Committee directs that no funds for capital projects be 
allocated prior to the submission of a detailed justification 
and prioritization to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations and their prior approval.

                       GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE


                 Office of Superintendent of Documents


                         salaries and expenses

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................     $27,893,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................      29,639,000
Committee recommendation................................      28,728,000

\1\ Reflects $61,000 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $28,728,000, 
an increase of $835,000 above the enacted level. This provides 
for mandatory pay and price level increases.
    This appropriation provides for salaries and expenses 
associated with the distribution of Government documents to 
depository and international exchange libraries, the cataloging 
and indexing of Government publications, and the distribution 
of publications authorized by law at the request of Members of 
Congress and other Government agencies.

                             revolving fund

    The Committee bill continues the limitations on reception 
and representation expenses and costs of attendance at 
meetings. Funds for replacement of the air-conditioning system 
and lighting improvements were included in the pending fiscal 
year 2001 supplemental.

                        Administrative Provision

    The Committee has included a provision extending for an 
additional 3 years GPO's retirement/separation incentive 
authority. GPO may need to use such authority in view of the 
ongoing inability of the document sales program to recover its 
expenses.

                       GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE


                         Salaries and Expenses

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................    $384,020,000
Budget estimate, 2002...................................     427,794,000
Committee recommendation................................     419,843,000

\1\ Reflects $846,707 rescission per Public Law 106-554.

    The Committee recommends funding of $419,843,000 for 
salaries and expenses of the General Accounting Office. 
Additionally, $2,501,000 is authorized in offsetting 
collections derived from rent receipts and reimbursements for 
conducting financial audits of Government corporations, for a 
total of $422,344,000, which will support an FTE level of 3,275 
FTEs. The amount recommended, together with collections, 
represents an increase of $35,324,000 or 9 percent over the 
current level. This will cover all mandatory pay and benefit 
increases, price level increases, and additional staff for work 
in such critical areas as government computer security.
    The Committee has included $5,200,000 for GAO to implement 
the Truth in Regulating Act (Public Law 106-312). Under this 
pilot program, at the request of committee chairmen or ranking 
members GAO is to evaluate proposed or final rules that may 
have an annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more, 
or adversely affect the economy in a material way.
    The Committee notes that GAO has requested funding to reach 
its ceiling of 3,275 FTEs, which has not been achieved in the 
past 2 years. The Committee is concerned, however, that GAO has 
not conducted a full assessment of its human capital needs to 
meet its mission and fulfill its strategic plan. Therefore, 
prior to hiring up to the full level of 3,275 FTEs, the 
Committee expects GAO to provide it with an analytical human 
capital assessment which recommends an optimal staffing level 
for fiscal year 2002 and beyond, including full consideration 
of activities which appropriately should be contracted out.
    The Committee has included an increase in representation 
expenses to $12,000.

    PAYMENT TO THE RUSSIAN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT CENTER TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2001 \1\................................................
Budget estimate, 2002...................................     $10,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      10,000,000

\1\ $9,978,000 was included in the budget of the Library of Congress in 
fiscal year 2001.

    The Committee recommends $10,000,000 as a payment to the 
Russian Leadership Development Center Trust Fund for the Center 
for Russian Leadership Development. The Center was established 
on December 21, 2000 (Public Law 106-554) as an individual 
legislative branch agency. The mission of the Center is to 
enable emerging political leaders of Russia at all levels of 
government to gain significant, first-hand exposure to the 
American free market economic system and the operation of 
American democratic institutions through visits to comparable 
governments and communities in the United States.

                     TITLE III--GENERAL PROVISIONS

    In addition to several routine general provisions carried 
annually in the bill (secs. 301-308), the Committee proposes 
three additional general provisions (secs. 309-311), as 
follows:
    Section 301 bans the use of appropriated funds for service 
and maintenance of private vehicles, except under such 
regulations as may be promulgated by the House Oversight 
Committee and the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, 
respectively.
    Section 302 limits the availability for obligation of 
appropriation to the fiscal year for which it is expressly 
provided in the bill accompanying this report.
    Section 303 provides that any pay rate and title 
designation for a staff position created in this Act, and not 
specifically established by the Legislative Pay Act of 1929, is 
to be made permanent law by this Act. Further, any pay rate and 
title change for a position provided for in the 1929 Act is to 
be made permanent law by this act and any changes in the 
official expenses of Members, officers, and committees, and in 
the clerk hire of the House and Senate are to be made permanent 
law by this Act.
    Section 304 bans the use of funds for contracts unless such 
contracts are matters of public record and are available for 
public inspection.
    Section 305 provides that, to the greatest extent 
practicable, products purchased with funds in this Act should 
be American-made.
    Section 306 appropriates such sums as may be necessary for 
the payment of settlements and awards pursuant to Public Law 
104-1.
    Section 307 authorizes legislative branch entities 
participating in the Legislative Branch Financial Managers 
Council [LBFMC] to finance the costs of the LBFMC.
    Section 308 extends for 1 year the availability of funds 
for the Senate art collection.
    Section 309 amends 5 U.S.C. 5596(a) to include the 
Architect of the Capitol and the U.S. Botanic Garden. This 
section provides for back pay due to unjustified personnel 
actions.
    Section 310 has been included requiring the Architect of 
the Capitol to develop and maintain an accounting and financial 
management system which, among other things, complies with 
applicable federal accounting principles, standards, and 
requirements, and internal control standards. This section will 
allow the Architect to provide information that is complete, 
reliable, consistent, timely and prepared on a uniform basis. 
These requirements are consistent with those applicable to the 
Capitol Police.
    Section 311 provides flexibility for the Architect of the 
Capitol in the titles and pay levels of up to 12 senior 
management positions, not including the Architect or Assistant 
Architect. Presently, the maximum amount that the Architect can 
pay senior staff is not comparable to the pay available to 
those personnel from other sources with which they compete. 
With this flexibility, the Committee expects the agency will be 
able to hire expeditiously a chief financial officer and ensure 
that other key management positions are filled by the most 
qualified and capable individuals. The Committee expects this 
will bring about significant improvement to the management and 
operation of this Agency.

  COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI, OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE 
                                 SENATE

    Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on 
general appropriations bills identify, with particularity, each 
Committee amendment to the House bill ``which proposes an item 
of appropriation which is not made to carry out the provisions 
of an existing law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or 
resolution previously passed by the Senate during that 
session.''
    The Committee has recommended funding under the Architect 
of the Capitol's budget for the Congressional Cemetery, which 
is not authorized.

 COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 12, RULE XXVI, OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE 
                                 SENATE

    Paragraph 12 of rule XXVI requires that Committee reports 
on a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending any statute 
or part of any statute include ``(a) the text of the statute or 
part thereof which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a 
comparative print of that part of the bill or joint resolution 
making the amendment and of the statute or part thereof 
proposed to be amended, showing by stricken-through type and 
italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate typographical 
devices the omissions and insertions which would be made by the 
bill or joint resolution if enacted in the form recommended by 
the committee.''
    In compliance with this rule, the following changes in 
existing law proposed to be made by the bill are shown as
