                               Background

    The bill revises and restates certain laws relating to 
public contracts and enacts those provisions as title 41, 
United States Code.
    The bill was prepared by the Office of the Law Revision 
Counsel of the House of Representatives as part of its 
functions under section 285b of title 2, United States Code, to 
submit to the Committee on the Judiciary bills to enact the 
titles of the United States Code into positive law.
    A predecessor bill, H.R. 4320, was introduced in the 108th 
Congress on May 10, 2004. Upon introduction of that bill, 
Chairman Sensenbrenner inserted a statement in the 
Congressional Record inviting review and comment and also sent 
a letter inviting review and comment to various congressional 
Committees, government agencies, and private organizations 
thought to be interested in the bill. Comments were to be 
submitted to the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.
    The Office of the Law Revision Counsel studied all of the 
comments submitted and discussed them as necessary with those 
submitting the comments in order to achieve a satisfactory 
resolution. Many of the comments resulted in changes in the 
bill or in the accompanying section-by-section explanation of 
the bill.
    The current bill, H.R. 5414, is an updated version of the 
bill introduced in the House in the prior Congress.

                    Conformity With Original Intent

    In the drafting, the intent is to comply with the standard 
in section 285b(1) of title 2, United States Code, which 
provides that the restatement of existing law shall conform to 
``the understood policy, intent, and purpose of the Congress in 
the original enactments, with such amendments and corrections 
as will remove ambiguities, contradictions, and other 
imperfections''.
    In restating existing law, this bill consolidates various 
provisions of law which have been enacted separately over a 
period of many years. To restate these various provisions of 
law as a cohesive unit, it is necessary to makes changes in 
organization, style, and terminology. In addition, obsolete 
language has been eliminated and errors in the law have been 
corrected. These changes are not intended, however, to lead to 
changes in result, and therefore they should not impair the 
precedential value of earlier judicial decisions or other 
interpretations.
     
    The following authorities are relevant to an interpretation 
of the general intent of codification legislation:

                                Hearings

    No hearings were held on H.R. 5414.

                        Committee Consideration

    At a meeting of the Committee on the Judiciary on July 19, 
2006, a quorum being present, H.R. 5414 was approved by a voice 
vote and ordered reported.

                         Vote of the Committee

    In compliance with clause 3 (b) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee notes that there 
were no recorded votes during the Committee consideration of 
H.R. 5414.

                      Committee Oversight Findings

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee reports that the 
findings and recommendations of the Committee, based on 
oversight activities under clause 2(b)(1) of rule X of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, are incorporated in the 
descriptive portions of this report.

               New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures

    Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives is inapplicable because H.R. 5414 does not 
provide new budget authority or an increase in tax 
expenditures.

               Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee sets forth, with 
respect to the bill, H.R. 5414, the following estimate and 
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                   Washington, DC, August 15, 2006.
Hon. F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., Chairman,
Committee on the Judiciary,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 5414, a bill to 
enact certain laws relating to public contracts as title 41, 
United States Code, ``Public Contracts.''
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Matthew 
Pickford, who can be reached at 226-2860.
            Sincerely,
                                          Donald B. Marron,
                                           Acting Director.

Enclosure

cc:
        Honorable John Conyers, Jr.
        Ranking Member
H.R. 5414--A bill to enact certain laws relating to public contracts as 
        title 41, United States Code, ``Public Contracts''
    H.R. 5414 would revise and restate certain federal laws and 
would enact those provisions into law as title 41, United 
States Code. In restating existing law, the legislation would 
make technical changes to the law involving public contracts 
that would primarily affect organization, style, and 
terminology. CBO estimates that enacting this bill would result 
in no cost to the federal government and would not affect 
direct spending or revenues.
    H.R. 5414 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and 
would not affect the budgets of State, local, or tribal 
governments.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew 
Pickford, who can be reached at 226-2860. This estimate was 
approved by Peter H. Fontaine, Deputy Assistant Director for 
Budget Analysis.

                    Performance Goals and Objectives

    In compliance with clause 3(c) (4) of Rule XIII of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee reports 
that the bill, H.R. 5414, completes codification of title 41, 
United States Code, ``Public Contracts.'' H.R. 5414 makes 
technical and conforming amendments to existing law and 
consolidates various provisions of law which have been enacted 
separately over many years.

                   Constitutional Authority Statement

    Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee finds the authority for 
this legislation in article I, section 8 of the Constitution.

                           Disposition Table

    The table below shows a disposition for each section of the 
United States Code affected by the bill. In addition, with 
respect to provisions of law set out as notes in the United 
States Code, the table shows a disposition for each provision 
restated as part of title 41.
    Where the disposition column shows a title 41 citation, it 
means the provision of law classified to the former United 
States Code section is being restated and reenacted as part of 
title 41 by section 3 of the bill. The provision is also 
included in the Schedule of Laws Repealed in section 8 of the 
bill.
    Where the disposition column shows ``Obsolete'', 
``Superseded'', or ``Unnecessary'', it means the provision of 
law classified to the former United States Code section is 
being omitted from the proposed revised title but is included 
in the Schedule of Laws Repealed in section 8 of the bill.
    Where the disposition column shows ``Limited interest'' or 
``Temporary'' or recommends transfer to another title, it means 
the provision of law classified to the former United States 
Code section is being omitted from the proposed revised title 
and is not included in the Schedule of Laws Repealed in section 
8 of the bill.

    In subsection (b)(2)(A)(i), the words ``Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics'' are 
substituted for ``Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a)(6), the text of 41:421(c)(6) (last 
sentence) is omitted because 41:407 was repealed by section 
4305(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal 
Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106, 110 Stat. 665).
    In subsection (b)(1)(A), the words ``after 60 days after 
November 17, 1988'' are omitted as obsolete.
    In subsection (b)(1)(B), the words ``(as that term is 
defined in section 3502(11) of title 44)'' are omitted because 
chapter 35 of title 44 was amended generally by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-13, 109 Stat. 163) and 
44:3502 no longer defines ``information collection request''. 
The term ``information collection request'' is retained in this 
section of the revised title, however, because 44:ch. 35 still 
contains provisions about requests for collection of 
information.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (b)(2), the text of 41:422(a)(2)(C) is 
omitted as obsolete.
    In subsection (b)(2)(A), the last sentence is substituted 
for ``of the initial members, two shall be appointed for terms 
of two years, one shall be appointed for a term of three years, 
and one shall be appointed for a term of four years'' because 
the initial members have already been appointed.
    In subsection (c)(2), the reference to section 5376 of 
title 5 is substituted for the reference to grade GS-18 of the 
General Schedule because of section 529 [title I, 
Sec. 101(c)(1)] of the Treasury, Postal Service, and General 
Government Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-509, 104 
Stat. 1442, 5:5376 note).
    In subsection (f)(1), the words ``Except as otherwise 
provided in subsection (a) of this section'' are omitted 
because 41:422(a) does not provide any relevant exception.
    In subsection (f)(2), the words ``private sector'' are 
substituted for ``private life'' for consistency with 
subsection (b)(1)(B) of the revised section.
    In subsection (f)(3), the words ``Executive Schedule'' are 
substituted for ``Federal Executive Salary Schedule under 
section 5316 of title 5'' for consistency and to eliminate 
unnecessary words.

    In subsection (a)(3), the words ``under a basic agreement, 
basic ordering agreement, or similar arrangement'' are 
substituted for ``referred to in clause (A)(ii)'' for clarity. 
The words ``by the Secretary of Commerce'' are omitted as 
obsolete. The Secretary of Commerce no longer has 
responsibility for publishing notices of awards or orders. See 
revision note for subsection (d).
    Subsection (b)(3) is added because of section 850(e)(3) of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 
(Public Law 105-85, 111 Stat. 1849, 15:637 note), which in part 
provided that the amendments made by section 850(e)(2), which 
amended 41:416(c)(1), be implemented in a manner consistent 
with applicable international agreements.
    Subsection (d) is substituted for 41:416(a)(2) and (7) to 
eliminate unnecessary words. Federal Business Opportunities is 
the designated single point of universal electronic public 
access for publication of all procurement information and 
notices previously published by the Secretary of Commerce in 
the Commerce Business Daily. See 66 Fed. Reg. 27407, May 16, 
2001, 68 Fed. Reg. 56678, October 1, 2003, 48 CFR ch. 1, subch. 
B, part 5, and the special notice posted in CBDNet on December 
28, 2001, and printed on January 2, 2002. The special notice 
can be found by going to http://cbdnet.gpo.gov and clicking on 
``Federal Business Opportunities to replace the Commerce 
Business Daily''.
    In subsection (e)(1)(B)(i), the words ``required for a bid 
or proposal for a contract described in'' are substituted for 
``required by'' for clarity.
    In subsection (e)(1)(B)(ii), the words ``required for an 
order described in'' are substituted for ``required by'' for 
clarity.

    In subsection (a), the words ``Federal Acquisition 
Regulation'' are substituted for ``single system of Government-
wide procurement regulations as defined in section 403(4) of 
this title'' because section 3(a)(1) of the Office of Federal 
Procurement Policy Act Amendments of 1988 (Public Law 100-679, 
102 Stat. 4055) substituted ``Federal Acquisition Regulation'' 
for ``single system of Government-wide procurement 
regulations'' in section 6 of the Office of Federal Procurement 
Policy Act (Public Law 93-400, 88 Stat. 797, 41:406) and 
because section 3(c) of the Office of Federal Procurement 
Policy Act Amendments of 1988 (102 Stat. 4056) struck section 
4(4) of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (88 Stat.

Federal Procurement Policy Act Amendments of 1983 (Public Law

    In subsection (a)(7), the words ``(who may not delegate the 
authority under this paragraph)'' are substituted for 
41:253(d)(2) to move the restriction closer to where it 
applies.
    In subsection (d)(1)(B)(i), the words ``advocate for 
competition'' are substituted for ``competition advocate'' for 
consistency with section 1704 of the revised title.
    In subsection (d)(1)(B)(ii), the reference to section 5376 
of title 5 is substituted for the reference to grade GS-16 or 
above under the General Schedule because of section 529 [title 
I, Sec. 101(c)(1)] of the Treasury, Postal Service and General 
Government Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-509, 104 
Stat. 1442, 5 U.S.C. 5376 note).
    In subsection (d)(6)(B), the words ``and not in lieu of'' 
are omitted as unnecessary.

    In subsections (a) and (c)(1), the words ``sections 1101 to 
1104 of title 40'' are substituted for ``the Brooks Architect-
Engineers Act (title IX of this Act)'' and ``the Brooks 
Architect-Engineers Act (40 U.S.C. 541 et seq.)'', 
respectively, because of section 5(c) of Public Law 107-217 (40 
U.S.C. note prec. 101) and for consistency with title 40.
    In subsection (c)(5), the reference to section 253b of this 
title is limited to chapter 37 of the revised title for 
clarity.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), before paragraph (1), the words ``In 
this section'' are substituted for ``as used in this Act'' as 
the probable intent of Congress. Section 9(a) of the Act of 
August 2, 1946 (ch. 744, 60 Stat. 809) restated 41:5 generally 
and section 9(c) of the Act, an independent provision, was 
editorially added as the last paragraph of 41:5. The 
definitions which apply to ``as used in this Act'' are probably 
intended to apply also to 41:5 as restated by the Act. The 
definitions for ``department'' and ``continental United 
States'' are omitted because those terms do not appear in 41:5. 
In paragraph (1), the words ``section 9104 of title 31'' are 
substituted for ``section 104 of the Government Corporation 
Control Act, approved December 6, 1945'' because of section 
4(b) of Public Law. 97-258 (31 U.S.C. note prec. 101). In 
paragraphs (1) and (2), the word ``includes'' is substituted 
for ``shall be construed to include'' and for ``shall be 
construed as including'', respectively, to eliminate 
unnecessary words.
    In subsection (c), the words ``as authorized by section 29 
of the Surplus Property Act of 1944 (50 U.S.C. App. 1638)'' in 
section 3709 of the Revised Statutes are omitted because 
section 29 was repealed by section 602(a)(1) of the Federal 
Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (ch. 288, 63 
Stat. 399).

    The words ``Secretary of the Army'' are substituted for 
``Secretary of War'' because of section 205(a) of the National 
Security Act of 1947 (ch. 343, 61 Stat. 501). Section 205(a) 
was repealed by section 53 of the Act of August 10, 1956 (ch. 
1041, 70A Stat. 676). Section 1 of the Act of August 10, 1956 
(70A Stat. 1) enacted Title 10, ``Armed Forces'', and under 
sections 3011 to 3013 of title 10, the Department of the Army 
remains under the administrative supervision of the Secretary 
of the Army.

    In subsection (a), the words ``The party to whom the 
Federal Government gives a contract or order'' are substituted 
for ``the party to whom such contract or order is given'' for 
clarity. The words ``A purported transfer in violation of this 
subsection'' are substituted for ``any such transfer'' because 
an actual transfer is precluded by this provision.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``amounts due from the 
Federal Government'' are substituted for ``moneys due or to 
become due from the United States or from any agency or 
department thereof'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The words 
``may be assigned'' are added to provide explicitly for 
authority that is necessarily implied by the source provision.
    In subsection (b)(3), the words ``in the case of any 
contract entered into after October 9, 1940'' are omitted as 
obsolete.
    In subsection (b)(5), the words ``participating in such 
financing'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b)(8), the words ``is not liable to make any 
refund to the Federal Government'' are substituted for ``no 
[liability] . . . shall create or impose any liability on the 
part of the assignee to make restitution, refund, or repayment 
to the United States of any amount heretofore since July 1, 
1950, or hereafter received under the assignment'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words. The words ``an assignor's liability to the 
Federal Government'' are substituted for ``liability of any 
nature of the assignor to the United States or any department 
or agency thereof '' for clarity and to eliminate unnecessary 
words.
    In subsection (b)(9)(A), the words ``except any such 
contract under which full payment has been made'' are omitted 
as unnecessary because subsection (b)(8) precludes refund where 
full payment has already been made. The words ``payments made 
to an assignee under the contract'' are substituted for 
``payments to be made to the assignee of any moneys due or to 
become due under such contract'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words.
    In subsection (b)(9)(B), the words ``When a `no reduction 
or setoff ' provision as described in subparagraph (A) is 
included in a contract'' are substituted for ``If a provision 
described in subsection (e) of this section or a provision to 
the same general effect has been at any time heretofore or is 
hereafter included or inserted in any such contract'', the 
words ``payments to the assignee'' are substituted for 
``payments to be made thereafter to an assignee of any moneys 
due or to become due'', and the words ``an assignor's

of the assignor to the United States or any department or 
agency thereof '', for clarity and to eliminate unnecessary 
words.
    In subsection (b)(9)(C), the text of 40:15(g), which 
provided that nothing in 40:15 affected rights and obligations 
accrued before subsection (g) was added by the Act of May 15, 
1951 (ch. 75, 65 Stat. 41), is omitted as obsolete.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``Emergency Farm Mortgage 
Act of 1933'' and ``Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation Act'' are 
omitted because all provisions of those Acts have previously 
been executed or repealed.
    In subsection (b)(2)(B), the words ``Farm Credit Act of 
1971 (12 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.)'' are substituted for ``Federal 
Farm Loan Act'' and ``Farm Credit Act of 1933'' because of 
section 5.40(a), formerly 5.26(a), of the Farm Credit Act of 
1971 (Pub. L. 92-181, 12 U.S.C. 2001 note).
    In subsection (b)(2)(C), the words ``Home Owners' Loan 
Act'' are substituted for ``Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933'' 
because of the amendment to 12:1461 made by Public Law 101-73.

    The words ``heretofore or'' are omitted as obsolete. The 
word ``hereafter'' is omitted as unnecessary because the 
provision is restated as permanent law rather than as part of a 
fiscal year appropriation.

    In subsection (a), the words ``Air Force'' are added 
because of section 207(a) and (f) of the National Security Act 
of 1947 (ch. 343, 61 Stat. 502, 503). Section 207(a) and (f) 
was repealed by section 53 of the Act of August 10, 1956 (ch. 
1041, 70A Stat. 676). Section 1 of the Act of August 10, 1956 
(70A Stat. 1) enacted Title 10, ``Armed Forces'' and under 
subtitle D of title 10 the Department of the Air Force remained 
an independent administrative entity in the Department of 
Defense.
    Subsection (b)(2)(B) is set out as a separate provision to 
clarify that the certification applies only to contracts other 
than contracts with the Federal Government. If the 
certification were to be construed as applying to all 
contracts, then the words ``under a contract with the United 
States or'' in section 2 of the Act of June 22, 1942, would be 
rendered meaningless.
    In subsection (b)(2)(B), the words ``Secretary of the 
Army'' are substituted for ``Secretary of War'', and the words 
``Secretary of the Air Force'' are added, because of sections 
205(a) and 207(a) and (f) of the National Security Act of 1947 
(ch. 343, 61 Stat. 501, 502, 503). Sections 205(a) and 207(a) 
and (f) were repealed by section 53 of the Act of August 10, 
1956 (ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 676). Section 1 of the Act of August 
10, 1956 (70A Stat. 1) enacted Title 10, ``Armed Forces'' and 
under sections 3010 to 3013 and 8010 to 8013 the Departments of 
the Army and Air Force remained under the administrative 
supervision of the Secretaries of the Army and Air Force, 
respectively. The words ``Secretary of the Department in which 
the Coast Guard is operating'' are substituted for ``Secretary 
of Transportation'' because of 6:468(b) and (h), 551(d), and 
552(d), 14:1 and 3, and the Department of Homeland Security 
Reorganization Plan of November 25, 2002 (H. Doc. No. 108-16, 
108th Cong., 1st Sess. (6 U.S.C. 542 note)).

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the matter before paragraph (1), the words ``and entered 
into'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In paragraph (1), the words ``under the contract'' are 
substituted for ``used in the performance of the contract'' in 
41:35(a) to eliminate unnecessary words and for consistency in 
the chapter. The words ``Sections 35 to 45 of this title shall 
apply to all contracts entered into pursuant to invitations for 
bids issued on or after ninety days from June 30, 1936'' in 
41:45 are omitted as obsolete.
    In paragraph (2), the words ``under the contract'' are 
substituted for ``used in the performance of the contract'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words and for consistency in the chapter.
    In paragraph (3), the words ``No individual under 16 years 
of age'' are substituted for ``no male person under sixteen 
years of age and no female person under eighteen years of age'' 
to reflect the interpretation of this provision subsequent to 
enactment of civil rights laws such as section 703 of the Civil 
Rights Act of 1964 (42:2000e-2), as carried out by the 
Department of Labor through 41 C.F.R. Part 50-201.104. The 
words ``incarcerated individual'' are substituted for ``convict 
labor'' the first time the words appear because the term 
``convict labor'' is ambiguous and may be interpreted to 
include individuals who are not incarcerated. This would be an 
inappropriate interpretation because 41:35(c) provides an 
exception for ``convict labor'' that satisfies the conditions 
of 18:1761(c) regarding certain non-Federal prison work 
projects. The words ``or production'' are omitted for 
consistency with the source provisions for paragraphs (1) and 
(2) and because, in this context, the concept of ``production'' 
is included in the words ``manufacture or furnishing''. The 
words ``under the contract'' are substituted for ``included in 
such contract'' for consistency in the chapter.

    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``individual under 16 years 
of age'' are substituted for ``male person under sixteen years 
of age or each female person under eighteen years of age'' to 
reflect the interpretation of this provision subsequent to 
enactment of civil rights laws such as section 703 of the Civil 
Rights Act of 1964 (42:2000e-2), as carried out by the 
Department of Labor through 41 C.F.R. Part 50-201.104. The 
words ``incarcerated individual'' are substituted for ``convict 
laborer'' because of the exception to convict labor that 
satisfies the conditions of 18:1761(c). Section 1761 does not 
apply to non-incarcerated convicts.
    Subsection (b)(2) is substituted for ``a sum equal to the 
amount of any deductions, rebates, refunds, or underpayment of 
wages due to any employee engaged in the performance of such 
contract'' for consistency in the chapter.
    In subsection (c), the words ``made the contract'' and 
``make other contracts'' are substituted for ``entering into 
such contract'' and ``enter into other contracts'', 
respectively, for consistency in the revised title.
    In subsection (d), the words ``suit brought by the Attorney 
General'' are substituted for ``suits brought in the name of 
the United States of America by the Attorney General thereof '' 
to eliminate unnecessary words.

    In this section, the words ``or firms'' are omitted because 
of the definition of ``person'' in 41:41, restated in section 
6501 of the revised title.
    In subsection (a), the words ``or violated'' are added for 
consistency in the chapter.
    In subsection (b), the words ``contract described in 
section 6502 of this title'' are substituted for ``contracts'' 
to clarify the scope of the prohibition. The words ``the date 
of the determination by the Secretary that a breach or 
violation occurred'' are substituted for ``the date the 
Secretary of Labor determines such breach to have occurred'' to 
clarify that the three-year period begins with the date of the 
Secretary's determination and not with the date of the breach 
or violation. The words ``or violation'' are added for 
consistency in the chapter.

    In subsection (b), the word ``rules'' is omitted as

    In subsection (c), the words ``and to prescribe rules and 
regulations with respect thereto'' are omitted as unnecessary 
because of subsection (b).

provisions of the civil-service laws'', which appear in section 
4 of the Walsh-Healey Act (June 30, 1936, ch. 881, 49 Stat.

pursuant to the Act of November 26, 1940, ch. 919, title I,

1923'', which appear in section 4 of the Walsh-Healey Act (June 
30, 1936, ch. 881, 49 Stat. 2038), are considered to be a 
reference to the Classification Act of 1949 because of section 
1106(a) of the Classification Act of 1949 (Oct. 28, 1949, ch. 
782, 63 Stat. 972). The words ``chapter 51 and subchapter III 
of chapter 53 of title 5'' are substituted for the reference to 
the Classification Act of 1949 because of section 7(b) of 
Public Law 89-554 (5 U.S.C. note prec. 101).

action to enforce the order'' are substituted for ``upon the 
application by'' for consistency in the revised title and with 
other titles of the United States Code. The words ``the United 
States District Court for the District of Columbia'' in section 
5 of the Act of June 30, 1936 (which were substituted for ``the 
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia'' by section 32(b) of 
the Act of June 25, 1948 (ch. 646, 62 Stat. 991), as amended by 
section 127 of the Act of May 24, 1949 (ch. 139, 63 Stat. 107), 
and which were were editorially omitted from 41:39) are omitted 
as included in ``a district court of the United States'' 
because of sections 88 and 132(a) of title 28, United States 
Code. The words ``within the court's judicial district''' are 
substituted for ``within the jurisdiction of which'' for 
clarity and for consistency in the revised title and with other 
titles of the United States Code. The words ``requiring the 
person to obey the order issued under subsection (c)'' are 
substituted for ``requiring such person to appear before him or 
representative designated by him, to produce evidence if, as, 
and when so ordered, and to give testimony relating to the 
matter under investigation or in question'' for clarity and to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (e), the duty to make findings of fact is 
restated as a duty of the Secretary (or the Secretary's 
representative). The grammatical structure of the last sentence 
of 41:39 seems to suggest that the court, rather than the 
Secretary (or the Secretary's representative), serves as fact 
finder. However, the provision taken as a whole indicates that 
it is the Secretary (or the Secretary's representative) who 
serves as fact finder. It is the Secretary (or the Secretary's 
representative) before whom hearings are held, witnesses 
testify, and evidence is produced. The court's involvement is 
limited to compelling recalcitrant witnesses ``to appear before 
him [the Secretary] or representative designated by him''. The 
restatement clarifies the generally accepted understanding that 
the Secretary (or the Secretary's representative) serves as 
fact finder (see, e.g., United States v. Sweet Briar, 92 F. 
Supp. 777, 780 (W.D.S.C. 1950) (``the Secretary `shall make 
findings of fact' ''); Ready-Mix Conrete Company v. United 
States, 158 F. Supp. 571, 578 (Cl. Ct. 1958) (``the findings of 
the Department of Labor'')).

    In subsection (a), the words ``an agency of the United 
States'' are substituted for ``the contracting agency or 
department'' for consistency in the chapter. Commas are 
inserted after ``exceptions'' and ``otherwise'' to clarify that 
the words ``when justice or the public interest will be 
served'' apply to exceptions in ``specific cases'' as well as 
``otherwise''. The word ``thereby'' is omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b), the words ``an agency of the United 
States'' are substituted for ``the contracting agency'', and 
the words ``minimum wages'' are substituted for ``minimum rates 
of pay'', for consistency in the chapter.
    In subsection (c), the word ``rules'' is omitted as 
included in ``regulations''. The words ``as hereinbefore

    Paragraph (1) is substituted for ``Title III of the act 
entitled `An Act making appropriations for the Treasury and 
Post Office Departments for the fiscal year ending June 30, 
1934, and for other purposes', approved May 3, 1933 (commonly 
known as the Buy American Act)'' for consistency in the revised 
title and to correct an error in the source, which incorrectly 
gives May 3, 1933, rather than March 3, 1933, as the date of 
approval.
    Paragraph (2) is substituted for ``the Act entitled `An Act 
relating to the rate of wages for laborers and mechanics 
employed on public buildings of the United States and the 
District of Columbia by contractors and subcontractors, and for 
other purposes', approved March 3, 1931 (commonly known as the 
Bacon-Davis Act), as amended from time to time'' because of 
section 5(c) of Public Law 107-217 (40 U.S.C. note prec. 101) 
and for consistency with title 40.
    The words ``the labor provisions of Title II of the 
National Industrial Recovery Act, approved June 16, 1933, as 
extended'' are omitted as obsolete because of section 201 of 
the Act of June 21, 1938 (ch. 554, 52 Stat. 816), as amended by 
the Acts of June 27, 1940 (ch. 437, 54 Stat. 633), April 5, 
1941 (ch. 40, 55 Stat. 110), and June 27, 1942 (ch. 450, 56 
Stat. 410).
    The words ``or [the labor provisions] of section 7 of the 
Emergency Relief Appropriation Act, approved April 8, 1935'' 
are omitted as obsolete. The intended reference was probably to 
section 7 of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 (49 
Stat. 118). Section 7 of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act 
of 1935 provided that the President shall require certain rates 
of pay for persons engaged in carrying out projects that were 
financed by amounts being appropriated in that Act.
    Paragraph (3) is substituted for ``the Act entitled `An Act 
to provide for the diversification of employment of Federal 
prisoners, for their training and schooling in trades and 
occupations, and for other purposes', approved May 27, 1930, as 
amended and supplemented by the Act approved June 23, 1934'' 
for consistency with title 18. The Act of May 27, 1930 (ch. 
340, 46 Stat. 391) and the Act of June 23, 1934 (ch. 736, 48 
Stat. 1211), which were classified to sections 744a to 744n of 
former title 18, were substantially repealed and were replaced 
by chapter 307 and section 4162 of title 18 in the codification 
of title 18 by the Act of June 25, 1948 (ch. 645, 62 Stat. 
683). Subsequently, section 4162 of title 18 was repealed by 
section 218(a)(4) of Public Law 98-473 (98 Stat. 2027).

    In paragraph (3), the word ``individual'' is substituted 
for ``person'' because of the definition of ``person'' in 1:1. 
The words ``contract made by the Federal Government'' are 
substituted for ``contract entered into by the United States'' 
for consistency in the revised title. The words ``as of July 
30, 1976, and any subsequent revision of those regulations'' 
are omitted as obsolete.
    In paragraph (4)(A), the words ``the outer Continental 
Shelf'' are substituted for ``Outer Continental Shelf lands'' 
for consistency with the definition in 43:1331 and for 
consistency with the more common usage generally found in 
subchapter III of chapter 29 of title 43. The words ``Eniwetok 
Atoll, Kwajalein Atoll'' are omitted because they are part of 
the Marshall Islands and therefore no longer part of the United 
States. The words ``Canton Island'' are omitted because it is 
part of Kiribati and therefore no longer part of the United 
States.

Contracts Act (49 Stat. 2036)'', which appear in section 7(2) 
of Public Law 89-286 (79 Stat. 1036), are treated as a 
reference to the Act of June 30, 1936 (ch. 881, 49 Stat. 2036), 
which was known as the Walsh-Healey Act and which was 
subsequently designated as the Walsh-Healey Act by section 12 
of the Act of June 30, 1936, which was added by section 
10005(f)(5) of Public Law 103-355 (108 Stat. 3409).
    In subsection (b)(7), the words ``United States Postal 
Service'' are substituted for ``Post Office Department'' 
because of sections 4(a) and 6(o) of the Postal Reorganization 
Act (Public Law 91-375, 84 Stat. 773, 783, 39 U.S.C. note prec. 
101, 201 note).

    In subsection (b), the word ``entity'' is substituted for 
``firm, corporation, partnership, or association'' to use a 
single broad term clarifying that the prohibition applies to 
any kind of organization in which the person or firm has a 
substantial interest. The words ``containing the name of such 
persons or firms'' are omitted as unnecessary. The word 
``person'' is substituted for ``individual'' for consistency in 
the subsection.

    In subsection (e), the words ``the definition of `regular 
rate' under section 7(e) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 
1938 (29 U.S.C. 207(e))'' are substituted for ``the regular 
rate under the Fair Labor Standards Act by provisions of 
section 7(d) thereof '' for clarity, to correct the reference 
to ``the Fair Labor Standards Act'' in accordance with section 
1 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29:201), which 
provided the short title for the Act, and to correct the 
reference to ``section 7(d) thereof '' in accordance with 
section 204(d)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Amendments of 
1966 (Public Law 89-601, 80 Stat. 836), which amended the Fair 
Labor Standards Act of 1938 by redesignating section 7(d) as 
7(e).

section 2'', which appear in section 10 of the Service Contract 
Act of 1965, as added by section 5 of Public Law 92-473 (86 
Stat. 790), are treated as a reference to paragraphs (1) and 
(2) of section 2(a) of the Service Contract Act of 1965 to 
reflect the probable intent of Congress. The words ``which are 
entered into during the applicable fiscal year'', 41:358(1)-
(4), and the words ``On and after July 1, 1976'' are omitted as 
obsolete.

    In subsection (b)(1)(D) and (2), the word ``duly'' is 
omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b)(3), the words ``of contract appeals'' are 
omitted as unnecessary because of the definition of ``agency 
board'' in section 6901 of the revised title.
    In subsection (c)(2), the words ``this subsection'', which 
appear in section 5 of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (Pub. 
L. 95-563, 92 Stat. 2384), and which were probably intended to 
mean ``this section'', are translated as ``this paragraph'' in 
accordance with the probable intent of Congress.
    In subsection (f)(5), the words ``the commencement of'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. The words ``of the appeal or action'' 
are substituted for ``in the event an appeal or suit is so 
commenced in the absence of a prior decision by the contracting 
officer'' to eliminate unnecessary words.

board'' in section 6901 of the revised title.

    In subsection (a)(2), the words ``an agency board of 
contract appeals'' are substituted for ``a board of contract 
appeals'' for consistency in the subsection and with the 
definition of ``agency board'' in section 6901 of the revised 
title.
    In subsection (a)(3), the words ``criteria for'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. The words ``the agency board 
established by the Tennessee Valley Authority'' are substituted 
for ``a board established by the Tennessee Valley Authority'' 
for consistency in the section and with the definition of 
``agency board'' in section 6901 of the revised title.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``administrative law 
judges'' are substituted for ``hearing examiners'' because of 
section 3 of Public Law 95-251 (5 U.S.C. 3105 note). The words 
``Full-time members of agency boards serving as such on the 
effective date of this chapter shall be considered qualified'' 
are omitted as obsolete.
    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``of contract appeals'' are 
omitted as unnecessary because of the definition of ``agency 
board'' in section 6901 of the revised title.
    In subsection (c), the words ``any appeals'' are 
substituted for ``the case'' for consistency in the subsection.
    In subsection (d)(1)(B), the words ``pursuant to subsection 
(c)'' are added to clarify that the exclusion of the Tennessee 
Valley Authority from inter-agency arrangements under 
subsection (c) is not rendered moot by the grant of 
jurisdiction in subsection (d).
    In subsection (d)(2), the words ``United States Court of 
Federal Claims'' are substituted for ``United States Claims 
Court'' because of section 902(b)(1) of the Federal Courts 
Administration Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-572, 106 Stat. 4516, 28 
U.S.C. 171 note).
    In subsection (e), the words ``agency board'' are 
substituted for ``agency board of contract appeals'' and the 
words ``agency board of the Tennessee Valley Authority'' are 
substituted for ``board of contract appeals of the Tennessee 
Valley Authority'' for consistency with the definition of 
``agency board'' in section 6901 of the revised title.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the word ``only'' is omitted for 
consistency with a similar provision in 41:608(a) and because 
the word ``only'' is redundant with the word ``sole''.
    In subsection (b)(6), the words ``from time to time, may 
review'' are substituted for ``is authorized to review at least 
every three years'' because the source law, while effectively 
granting the Administrator authority to conduct the reviews, 
does not require the Administrator to conduct any reviews, and 
does not restrict the number of reviews the Administrator may 
conduct during any time period. The words ``beginning with the 
third year after November 1, 1978'' are omitted as obsolete. 
The words ``the dollar amount specified in paragraph (1)'' are 
substituted for ``the dollar amount defined in subsection (a) 
of this section as a small claim'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words and because 41:608(a), restated as paragraph (1), does 
not explicitly provide a definition for the term ``small 
claim''.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a)(1) (matter before subparagraph (A)), the 
words ``of contract appeals'' are omitted as unnecessary 
because of the definition of ``agency board'' in section 6901 
of the revised title.
    In subsection (a)(1)(B), the words ``may transmit'' are 
substituted for ``transmits'' to correct the grammatical 
structure of the provision in accordance with the probable 
intent of Congress. The words ``the decision'' are substituted 
for ``the decision of the board of contract appeals'' and for 
``the board's decision'' to eliminate unnecessary words and for 
consistency with 41:607(g)(1)(A).
    In subsection (a)(2) (matter before subparagraph (A)), the 
words ``agency board'' are substituted for ``the board of 
contract appeals'' to eliminate unnecessary words and for 
consistency with the definition of ``agency board'' in section 
6901 of the revised title.
    In subsection (a)(2)(B), the words ``in any case'' are 
omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (d), the words ``United States Court of 
Federal Claims'' are substituted for ``United States Claims 
Court'' because of section 902(b)(1) of the Federal Courts 
Administration Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-572, 106 Stat. 4516, 28 
U.S.C. 171 note).
    In subsection (f)(1), (3), and (4), the words ``agency 
board'' are substituted for ``board of contract appeals'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words and for consistency with the 
definition of ``agency board'' in section 6901 of the revised 
title.
    In subsection (f)(1), the words ``under consideration'' are 
substituted for ``at issue'' to avoid potential confusion with 
the words ``issue described in paragraph (2)''.

    In subsection (a)(2), the words ``on or after the date of 
the enactment of this Act'', ``the later of '', and ``or the 
date of the enactment of this Act'' are omitted as obsolete.
    Subsection (b) is substituted for ``The interest provided 
for in this section shall be paid at the rate established by 
the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to Public Law 92-41 (85 
Stat. 97) for the Renegotiation Board'' to eliminate obsolete 
language and to codify the criteria under which the interest 
rate is computed. Section 2(a)(3) of the Act of July 1, 1971 
(Pub. L. 92-41, 85 Stat. 97), amended section 105(b)(2) of the 
Renegotiation Act of 1951 (Mar. 23, 1951, ch. 15, 65 Stat. 13) 
by adding provisions substantially similar to those enacted 
here. However, the Renegotiation Act of 1951 (Mar. 23, 1951, 
ch. 15, 65 Stat. 7) was omitted from the Code pursuant to 
section 102(c)(1) of the Act (65 Stat. 8), amended several 
times, the last being Public Law 94-185 (89 Stat. 1061), which 
provided that most provisions of that Act do not apply to 
receipts and accruals attributable to contract performance 
after September 30, 1976, and in view of the termination of the 
Renegotiation Board and the transfer of property and records of 
the Board to the Administrator of the General Services 
Administration on March 31, 1979, pursuant to Public Law 95-431 
(92 Stat. 1043). Although the Renegotiation Board is no longer 
in existence, Federal agencies, including the General Services 
Administration, are required to use interest rates that are 
computed under the criteria set out in this subsection. See 
31:3902(a) and the website of the Bureau of the Public Debt, 
available at http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdprmt2.htm. 
For an example of publication of rates under the criteria 
enacted here, see Federal Register, volume 67, number 247, page

    In this chapter, the word ``disabled'' is substituted for 
``handicapped'' for consistency with the name of the Committee. 
The word ``product'' is substituted for ``commodity'' to 
reflect the current usage of the items produced in the 
Committee's program.
    In this section, the text of 41:48b(6) is omitted as 
unnecessary.
    In paragraph (9), the words ``the Northern Mariana 
Islands'' are substituted for ``the Trust Territory of the 
Pacific Islands'' because the Trust Territory of the Pacific 
Islands terminated. See 48 U.S.C. note prec. 1681. However, 
section 502(a)(2) of the Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth 
of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the 
United States of America (48 U.S.C. 1801 note) provided that 
laws in existence on the effective date of section 502 that 
were applicable to Guam and that were of general application to 
the several States would apply to the Northern Mariana Islands. 
The Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Federated States of 
Micronesia are not included because although they were part of 
the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, they are 
independent entities and not part of the United States.

    In subsection (b)(1)(F), the words ``Department of 
Education'' are substituted for ``Department of Health and 
Human Services'' in 41:46(a)(1) to correct a mistake in the 
United States Code. In the amendment to the original provision 
by section 1 of Public Law 92-28 (85 Stat. 77), an officer or 
employee of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare 
was one of the members appointed to the Committee for Purchase 
From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, because the 
Department, through the Rehabilitation Services Administration, 
had the major governmental function in the field of vocational 
rehabilitation for the blind and other severely handicapped and 
administered related vocational rehabilitation programs for 
individuals with disabilities. See House Report 92-228. Under 
section 301(a)(4)(A) and (C) and (b)(3) of the Department of 
Education Organization Act (20:3441(a)(4)(A) and (C) and 
(b)(3)), the functions and offices of the Department and the 
functions of the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare 
and the Commissioner of Rehabilitation Services were 
transferred to the Department or Secretary of Education. 
Section 509 of the Act (20:3508) redesignated the Department 
and Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare as the 
Department and Secretary of Health and Human Services, 
respectively, and provided that references to the Department 
and Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare were deemed to 
be references to the Department or Secretary of Health and 
Human Services except to the extent a reference was to a 
function of the Department or Secretary of Education. The 
reference in 41:46(a)(1) was changed to ``Department of Health 
and Human Services'' but should have been changed to 
``Department of Education''. Furthermore, the regulations of 
the Committee include the Department of Education in the list 
of members of the Committee. See 41 CFR 51-2.1.
    In subsection (c), the text of 41:46(d)(2) and (4) is 
omitted as obsolete.
    In subsection (f)(1), the reference to section 5376 of 
title 5 is substituted for the reference to grade GS-18 of the 
General Schedule because of section 529 [title I, 
Sec. 101(c)(1)] of the Treasury, Postal Service and General 
Government Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-509, 104 
Stat. 1442, 5 U.S.C. 5376 note). The word ``actual'' is omitted 
as unnecessary. The words ``A member is entitled to travel 
expenses, including a per diem allowance instead of 
subsistence, as provided under section 5703 of title 5'' are 
substituted for 41:46(e)(3) to eliminate unnecessary words. The 
reference to section 5703 of title 5 is substituted for the 
reference to section 5703(b) of title 5 because of the 
amendment to section 5703 by section 4 of the Travel Expense 
Amendments Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-22, 89 Stat. 85).
    In subsection (g), the words ``its duties and powers'' are 
omitted as surplus.
    In subsection (g)(1), the reference to chapter 33 of title 
5 is substituted for ``the provisions of title 5 governing 
appointments in the competitive service'' for clarity and for 
consistency with other titles of the United States Code. The 
words ``relating to classification and General Schedule pay 
rates'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (j), the words ``and to the Congress'' are 
omitted pursuant to section 3003 of the Federal Reports 
Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (31 U.S.C. 1113 note). See, 
also, page 199 of House Document No. 103-7.

    In subsection (a), the text of 41:47(a)(1) (last sentence)

substituted for ``(hereafter in sections 46 to 48c of this 
title referred to as the `procurement list')'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words.
    In subsection (d)(2), the text of 41:47(d)(2)(B) is omitted

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``referred to in section 8503

                    SECTION 4--CONFORMING AMENDMENT

    Section 4 of the bill amends section 2410i(b)(1) of title 
10, United States Code, to reflect the amendment of section 
4(11) of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (Public 
Law 93-400) by section 4001 of the Federal Acquisition 
Streamlining Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-355, 108 Stat. 3338).

                 SECTION 5--CONFORMING CROSS-REFERENCES

    Section 5 of the bill makes conforming cross-references to 
titles of the United States Code that have been enacted into 
positive law and to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 
U.S.C. 1 et seq.). These amendments are necessary because of 
the restatement of the source provisions in section 3.

                    SECTION 6--TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS

    Section 6 of the bill contains technical amendments that 
are necessary because of Public Law 109-163.
    Subsection (a) amends various sections of chapter 69 of 
title 41, as enacted by section 3 of the bill, on January 6, 
2007, or the date of enactment of this Act, whichever is later.
    Paragraph (1) amends section 6901 to reflect the provisions 
of section 847(d)(1) of Public Law 109-163 (119 Stat. 3393).
    Paragraph (2) amends section 6905 to reflect the provisions 
of section 847(a) and (d)(2) to (4) of Public Law 109-163 (119 
Stat. 3391, 3393). Section 847(d)(4) in part repeals section 
8(h) of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. 607(h)). 
Section 847(d)(4) also repeals section 8(i) of the Contract 
Disputes Act of 1978, which previously was omitted from the 
United States Code because the provision was obsolete.

                            BUSINESS MEETING

                        WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 2006

                  House of Representatives,
                                Committee on the Judiciary,
                                                    Washington, DC.
    The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:09 a.m., in 
Room 2141, Rayburn House Office Building, the Honorable F. 
James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (Chairman of the Committee) presiding.
    Chairman Sensenbrenner. The Committee will be in order. A 
working quorum is present.
    The Chair would like to state at this point that he hopes 
to be able to get through the bills on the agenda today because 
we have a limited number of session days left. We have to get 
these bills out in order to get them into queue for floor 
consideration.
    The order that the bills will be considered will be, first, 
H.R. 5414, relating to public contracts; second, the Workplace 
Goods Job Growth and Competitiveness Act; third, the RICO bill; 
fourth, the Second Chance Act; and fifth, the Criminal 
Restitution Act.
    The staff is still working with Members to try to reach an 
agreement on the Criminal Restitution Act. If we can't get to 
an agreement by the time we get to it, the Committee will 
adjourn and that will be on the top of the agenda next week.
    So having said that, pursuant to notice, I now call up the 
bill H.R. 5414, ``To Enact Certain Laws Relating to Public 
Contracts as Title 41, United States Code, `Public Contracts,' 
'' for purposes of markup and move its favorable recommendation 
to the House.
    Without objection, the bill will be considered as read and 
open for amendment at any point.
    [The bill, H.R. 5414, follows:]

  


    Chairman Sensenbrenner. The Chair recognizes himself for 5 
minutes to explain the bill.
    This bill revises and restates certain laws relating to 
public contracts and enacts those provisions as Title 41 U.S. 
Code. Ranking Member Conyers and I jointly introduced this bill 
on May 17. The bill was prepared by the Office of Law Revision 
Counsel as part of its functions under Section 285(b) of Title 
2 U.S. Code, to prepare and submit to the Committee on 
Judiciary one title at a time a complete compilation 
restatement and revision of the general and permanent laws of 
the United States.
    This bill makes no substantive changes to Title 41. It 
simply removes ambiguities, contradictions and other 
imperfections in existing law. Ranking Member Conyers and I 
introduced a similar bill, H.R. 4320, in the 108th Congress. 
Upon introduction of that bill, appropriate congressional 
Committees, government agencies, and private organizations with 
an interest in the bill were given an opportunity to review it 
and submit comments to the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.
    The office studied all of the comments and worked with the 
interested parties to achieve a satisfactory resolution. All of 
these changes are currently reflected in H.R. 5414. 
Additionally, upon introduction of the present bill, 
individuals, agencies, congressional Committees and other 
interested parties were again invited to comment on it, and the 
Office of the Law Revision Counsel received no dissenting views 
regarding the revisions and consolidation efforts contained in 
the legislation.
    I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation 
that makes necessary technical and non-substantive changes to 
existing law.
    The Chair yields back his time and recognizes the gentleman 
from Virginia, Mr. Scott.
    Mr. Scott. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
    I would just say on behalf of the Ranking Member, the 
Ranking Member supports the legislation. The legislation is 
necessary largely because much of the original enactments in 
the section of the code are written in language that is both 
archaic and difficult to understand. There is also a 
significant amount of redundancy and ambiguity in the section. 
This bill would eliminate those redundancies, ambiguities and 
unnecessarily archaic language.
    The bill is intended to maintain present law, not to make 
any change in existing law, but to conform to the understood 
policy, intent and purpose of Congress in the original 
enactments.
    With that, Mr. Chairman, I would hope that we would support 
the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
    Chairman Sensenbrenner. Without objection, all Members may 
insert opening statements in the record at this point. Are 
there amendments?
    If there are no amendments, a reporting quorum is present. 
The question occurs on the motion to report the bill, H.R. 5414 
favorably.
    All in favor will say ``aye.''
    Opposed, ``no.''
    The ayes appear to have it. The ayes have it, and the 
motion to report favorably is agreed to.
    Without objection, the staff is directed to make any 
technical or conforming changes, and all Members will be given 
2 days, as provided by the House rules, to submit additional 
dissenting, supplemental or minority views.
    [Intervening business.]
    Without objection, the Committee stands adjourned.
    [Whereupon, at 4:02 p.m., the Committee was adjourned.]
