                     GENERAL STATEMENT AND SUMMARY

    The Committee recommends new budget (obligational) 
authority of $3,136,193,000 for the legislative branch for 
fiscal year 2011. This amount excludes House items as per 
normal protocol. This total is $435,613,000 below the budget 
request and $13,303,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level, 
including fiscal year 2010 supplemental funding.
    The Committee believes the legislative branch should serve 
as a model for the executive branch, tightening its belt 
wherever possible and employing best practices. Therefore, the 
Committee has included no increase in funding for fiscal year 
2011. All requests for additional staffing or programmatic 
expansions were not approved, resulting in a significant 
reduction from the budget request. Wherever possible, the use 
of prior year balances was made available to fund critically 
needed projects and programs included in the fiscal year 2011 
request.
    The Committee made recommendations based on the high 
priorities of security and protection of the Capitol complex 
and its visitors, the backlog of deferred maintenance and 
capital renewal projects that exist throughout the complex, and 
to ensure that the buildings within the complex are compliant 
with current fire and life safety requirements. While the 
Committee is aware of the statutory requirements in the 
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, no additional funding 
is included in this act for those purposes.
    The bill includes $335,435,000 for the U.S. Capitol Police; 
$442,611,000 for the Architect of the Capitol (excluding House 
office buildings) to maintain, improve, and construct buildings 
and facilities for the Congress; $556,849,000 for the 
Government Accountability Office; $643,337,000 for the Library 
of Congress; $147,461,000 for the Government Printing Office; 
and $926,179,000 for operations of the Senate.
    Reprogramming Guidelines.--A reprogramming, as defined in 
these procedures, includes the reallocation of funds from one 
budget activity, budget line-item or program area to another 
within any appropriation funded in this act. In cases where the 
Senate report displays an allocation of an appropriation below 
those levels, that more detailed level shall be the basis for 
reprogramming. A reprogramming shall also consist of any 
significant departure from the program described in the 
agency's budget justifications. This includes proposed 
reorganizations, even without a change in funding. Any change 
to the organization table presented in the budget justification 
shall be subject to this requirement.
    The Committee shall be notified by letter, at least 15 days 
prior to reprogramming of funds in excess of $500,000 or 10 
percent, whichever is less, between programs, projects or 
activities; or in excess of $500,000 between object 
classifications (except for shifts within the pay categories, 
object class 11, 12, and 13 or as further specified in each 
agency's respective section). This provision is also applicable 
in cases where several activities are involved with each 
receiving less than $500,000. In addition, the Committee is to 
be notified of reprogramming actions which are less than these 
amounts if such actions would have the effect of: committing 
the agency to significant funding requirements in future years; 
increasing funds or personnel by any means for any project or 
activity for which funds have been previously denied or 
restricted by Congress; creating new programs, offices, 
agencies or commissions or substantially augmenting existing 
programs, offices, agencies, or commissions; or reorganizing 
offices, programs, or activities.
    Multiple reprogramming requests suggest an agency's 
inability to manage within appropriated funds and indicate the 
need for change in the execution of the agency's budget. The 
Committee expects each agency to manage its programs, projects 
and activities within the levels appropriated. A reprogramming 
of funds should be requested only after a careful analysis of 
available funding has been undertaken within the budget office. 
In general:
  --A reprogramming should be made only when an unforeseen 
        situation arises that could not have been anticipated 
        when formulating the budget request for the current 
        fiscal year; and then only if postponement of the 
        project or the activity until the next appropriation 
        year would result in actual loss or damage.
  --Any project or activity, which may be deferred through 
        reprogramming, shall not later be accomplished by means 
        of further reprogramming; instead, funds should again 
        be sought for the deferred project or activity through 
        the regular appropriations process.
  --Except under the most urgent situations, reprogramming 
        should not be employed to initiate new programs or 
        increase allocations specifically denied or limited by 
        Congress, or to decrease allocations specifically 
        increased by the Congress.
  --Reprogramming proposals submitted for approval shall be 
        considered approved 30 calendar days after receipt if 
        the Committee has posed no objection. However, agencies 
        will be expected to extend the approval deadline if 
        specifically requested by the Committee.

                           Expense Allowances

Appropriations, 2010....................................        $180,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................         180,000

the expense allowances of the Vice President, the President pro 
tempore of the Senate, the majority and minority leaders, the 
majority and minority whips, the chairmen of the majority and 
minority conference committees, and the chairmen of the

allowances are as follows:
    For the expense allowance of the Vice President, the 
Committee recommends an amount of $20,000.
    For the expense allowance of the President pro tempore, the 
Committee recommends an amount of $40,000.
    For the expense allowance of the majority and minority 
leaders, the Committee recommends $40,000 for each leader, for 
a total of $80,000.
    For the expense allowance of the majority and minority 
whips, the Committee recommends $10,000 for each whip, for a 
total of $20,000.
    For the expense allowance for the chairmen of the majority 
and minority conference committees, the Committee recommends 
$5,000 for each chairman, for a total of $10,000.
    For the expense allowance for the chairmen of the majority 
and minority policy committees, the Committee recommends $5,000 
for each chairman, for a total of $10,000.
    Expenditures from all the foregoing allowances are made 
upon certification from the individuals for whom the allowances 
are authorized, and are reported semiannually in the report of 
the Secretary of the Senate.

    Representation Allowances for the Majority and Minority Leaders

Appropriations, 2010....................................         $30,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................          30,000
Committee recommendation................................          30,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $30,000 for 
representation allowances for the majority and minority 
leaders.
    This allowance was established in the Supplemental 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1985 (Public Law 99-88). The 
funds were authorized to be used by the majority and minority 
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 
between the two leaders.
    Expenditures from this allowance are made upon 
certification of the leaders and are reported in the semiannual 
report of the Secretary of the Senate.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $185,982,000 
for the subaccounts funded under the overall account for the 
salaries of officers and employees of the Senate.
    It should be noted that except for a handful of positions 
in the Offices of the Secretary and the Sergeant at Arms that 
are required by statute, specific staffing levels are not 
stipulated either by the budget request or by the Committee's 
recommendation. Rather, lump-sum allowances are provided to 
fund staffing levels each office finds necessary and 
appropriate for the performance of its duties. Estimated 
staffing levels for offices funded under this appropriation for 
fiscal year 2011 are approximately 1,475 positions.

             OFFICE OF THE SERGEANT AT ARMS AND DOORKEEPER

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $70,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      78,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      77,000,000

    This appropriation provides funds for the salaries of three 
statutory positions (Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper, Deputy 
Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper, and Administrative Assistant 
to the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper) and lump-sum allowances 
for employment and adjustments of salaries of personnel in the 
Office of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, as 
authorized by Public Law 97-51, effective October 1, 1981 (2 
U.S.C. 61f-7).
    The Committee recommends a total of $77,000,000 for fiscal 
year 2011, which is an increase of $7,000,000 over the enacted 
level and $1,000,000 below the request. The increase fully 
funds the SAA's current staffing level of 956 FTEs. A reduction 
of $7,000,000 to SAA's expense appropriation was made to offset 
this increase. The overall budget for the SAA remained flat at 
a total of $219,401,000.
    The Sergeant at Arms structure reflects five major 
divisions: Capitol Division, Operations Division, Technology 
Development Services Division, IT Support Services Division, 
and Staff Offices Division. The Capitol Division consists of 
the Executive Office of the Sergeant at Arms, the Office of 
Security and Emergency Preparedness, the U.S. Capitol Police 
Liaison, the Senate Post Office and Recording Studio. These 
offices provide the executive management and leadership of the 
Sergeant at Arms for day-to-day operations; for security of the 
Senate side of the Capitol complex; for liaison with the United 
States Capitol Police; and mailing and recording studio 
services. The Operations Division provides printing and 
photographic services; furnishes and maintains the Senate side 
of the Capitol Building; and offers office support services 
such as desktop computer acquisition, State office liaison, and 
customer support. The Technology Development Services Division 
supports enterprise information technology systems, 
applications development, Internet/intranet services, 
information security, and network engineering. The IT Support 
Services Division provides desktop computer support; 
correspondence management system acquisition, maintenance and 
support; telecommunications equipment and services; general 
office equipment; and new technology assessment. The Staff 
Offices Division includes Financial Management, Human 
Resources, The Joint Office of Education and Training, and 
Process Management and Innovation.
    The offices and personnel covered by this appropriation are 
shown in the following table.

    The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration has 
authorized the transfer of the Senate Information Services

2011. The increase of $4,200,000 in the Secretary's expense 
budget reflects this transfer. This funding will remain

deducted from the Sergeant at Arms' fiscal year 2011 expense 
budget per this transfer.
    The table printed below sets forth the apportionment of

of the line items. Any deviation of more than 10 percent

    Contractual Legal and Administrative Services and 
Miscellaneous Expenses.--Funding is provided for various 
contractual, administrative, and miscellaneous expenses

of the Secretary.
    Travel and Registration Fees.--Funding is provided for

of the Senate and the employees of the Office of the Secretary. 
This line item excludes funding for travel expenses for the 
Federal Election Campaign Act under the Office of Public 
Records, which is provided separately under the authority of

seminars or similar meetings for Senators, Senate officials, or

for the Office of the Secretary of the Senate for special 
delivery, registered mail, and additional postage not covered

1983, authorized the Secretary of the Senate to enter into a 
contract, agreement, or other arrangement with the board of 
education of the District of Columbia, or to provide such 
educational services and items in such other manner as he may 
deem appropriate. Public Law 98-125, October 13, 1983, amended 
Public Law 98-51, July 14, 1983, striking out the heading and 
paragraph ``Education of Pages'' under the heading ``Joint

51 for the education of pages between the House of 
Representatives and the Senate. Each House is to provide for

spaces, or corridors thereof, and to publish a Senate 
historical objects inventory and calendar of exhibits on 
display within the Senate wing of the Capitol and Senate office 
buildings.
    The Senate Commission on Art was formerly the Commission on

1, 1977, and Senate Resolution 400, March 23, 1988.

of the Office of Public Records. This office has evolved

responsibilities authorized by the Federal Election Campaign 
Act, as amended, the Ethics in Government Act, as amended, and

July 10, 1972, authorizes the Secretary of the Senate to 
procure technical support services, consultants, use of 
detailed employees and travel expenses in carrying out his 
duties under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. The 
Office of Public Records is mentioned for the first time in 
Public Law 93-145, November 1, 1973, 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 Act) reports filed under 
section 101 shall be available for public inspection and a copy 
of the report shall be provided to any person upon request. Any 
person requesting a copy of a report may be required to pay a 
reasonable fee to cover the cost of reproduction. Any moneys 
received by the Secretary shall be deposited into the Office of

101-163, November 21, 1989. The office also performs functions 
such as registration of mass mailings.
    Disbursing Office.--Funding is provided for expenses 
incurred in the operation of the disbursing office. Typical

for the protection of the disbursing officer of the Senate for 
moneys assigned to his accountability.

    Senate Chief Counsel for Employment.--Funding is provided 
for the Office of the Senate Chief Counsel for Employment. This 
office is a nonpartisan office formed in May 1993 at the

of employment law.

             SERGEANT AT ARMS AND DOORKEEPER OF THE SENATE

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $153,601,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     161,286,000
Committee recommendation................................     142,401,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $142,401,000 
for expenses of the Sergeant at Arms, to remain available until 
September 30, 2015, which is $18,885,000 below the request. 
This amount is a reduction of $11,200,000 below the enacted 
level, of which $7,000,000 is needed to fully fund the SAA's 
current staffing level and $4,200,000 reflects the transfer of 
the Senate Information Services [SIS] program from the Sergeant 
at Arms to the Office of the Secretary of the Senate beginning 
in fiscal year 2011.
    The Sergeant at Arms will defer nearly $7,000,000 in 
periodic upgrades to data network and storage systems and 
equipment planned for fiscal year 2011. The Sergeant at Arms 
believes that this one-time deferral will not materially impact 
data storage or network performance in the short term.
    The following table compares the component categories 
within this account for fiscal year 2010 and the 2011 Committee 
recommendation.

the Committee a spending plan reflecting the revised salary and 
expense allocations referenced above as soon as possible after 
the beginning of fiscal year 2011. Any deviation of more than 
10 percent cumulatively from the level for each item in the 
spending plan will require the customary approval of the 
Committee.

        SENATORS' OFFICIAL PERSONNEL AND OFFICE EXPENSE ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $422,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     458,817,000
Committee recommendation................................     422,000,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation for fiscal year 
2011 of $422,000,000 for the Senators' Official Personnel and 
Office Expense Account, the same as the fiscal year 2010 
enacted level and a decrease of $36,817,000 below the request.
    This account funds salaries and benefits of Senators' 
staffs as well as the office expense allowance for Senators' 
offices. 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 estimate for fiscal year 2011 totals 
$269,942,634.
    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 $169,459 for a total 
of $508,377 per office, or $50,837,700 for all 100 Senators.
    The third component of the SOPOEA account is for office 
expenses and totals $20,128,942. Each Senator's office is 
allocated an amount for office expenses, as displayed in the 
following table. 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 interchangeable. 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 enactment 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, 2010, there were 
4,295 individuals employed in Senators' offices throughout the 
United States and covered by this appropriation.
    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 2011 
request for this account anticipates $106,000,000 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.

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

Budget estimate, 2011...................................       4,895,000
Committee recommendation................................       4,814,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,814,000 for 
the Joint Economic Committee [JEC]. This is the same as the 
enacted level and $81,000 below the request. The Joint Economic 
Committee was created by the Employment Act of 1946. The 
primary tasks of the JEC are to review economic conditions and 
to recommend improvements in economic policy. The JEC performs 
research and economic analysis, and monitors and analyzes 
current economic, financial, and employment conditions.

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $11,327,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      11,617,000
Committee recommendation................................      11,327,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,327,000 
for salaries and expenses of the Joint Committee on Taxation.
    The Joint Committee is established under the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986 to: (1) investigate the operation and 
effects of internal revenue taxes and the administration of 
such taxes; (2) investigate measures and methods for the 
simplification of such taxes; (3) make reports to the House 
Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance 
(or to the House and the Senate) on the results of such 
investigations and studies and to make recommendations; and (4) 
review any proposed refund or credit of income or estate and 
gift taxes or certain other taxes set forth in Code section 
6405 in excess of $2,000,000. In addition to these functions 
that are specified in the Internal Revenue Code, the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires the Joint Committee 
to provide revenue estimates for all tax legislation considered 
by either the House or the Senate.

    The Committee recommends $1,377,000 for the Office of 
Congressional Accessibility Services. This office is a 
successor to the Special Services Office following enactment of 
the Capitol Visitor Center Act of 2008.
    The Office of Congressional Accessibility Services [OCAS] 
provides and coordinates accessibility services for individuals 
with disabilities, including Members of Congress, staff, and 
visitors to the U.S. Capitol complex. These services include 
sign language interpreting, adaptive tours, and wheelchair 
loans. OCAS also provides information regarding accessibility 
for individuals with disabilities, as well as related training 
and staff development to Members of Congress and employees of 
the Senate and House of Representatives.

                        ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION

    Sec. 1001. This provision authorizes employees of the 
Office of Congressional Accessibility Services to participate 
in the Senate employees student loan repayment program rather 
than establish a separate student loan program for their 
employees.

                    ____________________________________________________
      Total, Capitol Police.............................     335,435,000

    The United States Capitol Police [USCP] is charged with the 
protection of the United States Congress, its legislative 
processes, Members, employees, visitors and facilities within 
the U.S. Capitol complex from crime, disruption or terrorism, 
so that the Congress may fulfill its constitutional 
responsibilities in a safe and open environment.
    The Committee recommends $335,435,000 for the U.S. Capitol 
Police. This is a decrease of $5,839,000 below the fiscal year 
2010 level, including fiscal year 2010 supplemental funding, 
and $50,041,000 below the request.
    Chief of the Capitol Police.--The Committee is concerned 
about frequent significant problems in the administration of 
the United States Capitol Police. The Inspector General [IG] of 
the U.S. Capitol Police in a recent audit discussed the failure 
of the ``tone at the top''. Tone and accountability are 
developed and owned by the Chief. The Committee has granted the 
Chief of Police substantial authority to lead the 2,193 men and 
women of the USCP. The responsibilities and accountability for 
the agency remains that of the Chief of Police. The inability 
of the Chief to make improvements in this area undermines his 
credibility.
    The Committee holds in high regard the difficult task of 
the Department personnel, sworn and civilian, who contribute 
daily to the safety of Members, staff, and visitors. The 
Committee expects the department leadership to exceed 
expectations held for the field and administrative personnel. 
There are ample studies conducted by the Police Board, GAO, IG, 
and professionals from around the country indicating what ought 
to be accomplished. The Committee expects immediate and 
effective execution of the guidance provided to the Chief of 
Police and his staff.
    Inspector General of the U.S. Capitol Police Board.--The 
Committee is, in general, disappointed in the quality of the 
work product of the inspector general. The Committee expects 
the judgment and independence of the IG to be above reproach in 
both appearance and execution. The audits and investigatory 
reports produced by the inspector general during fiscal year 
2010 are not up to the standards this Committee expects. For 
example, the IG referenced a Committee e-mail correspondence 
that took the content of the e-mail out of context to make a 
point in his findings. This is unacceptable to this Committee. 
The Committee believes that the inspector general has the 
resources, personnel, and contractual assistance to perform his 
duties successfully.
    The Capitol Police Board.--The Capitol Police Board has 
varied and wide-ranging roles and responsibilities as part of 
its mission to oversee the USCP. Throughout the Board's 
history, these roles and responsibilities have evolved to 
address emerging external threats and internal changes within 
the USCP management and administration. The latest change 
occurred in 2009 through the USCP Administrative Technical 
Corrections Act of 2009, which amended some of the Board's 
responsibilities. This Committee believes that, consistent with 
good governance principles, the Board should receive periodic 
reviews of, among other things, its governance practices, 
organizational structure and functions. Therefore, the 
Committee directs GAO to review the governance practices that 
the Board has adopted and determine whether improvements or 
changes are needed in the Board's mission, structure, 
functions, and processes.
    Senate Office Building Business Hours.--The Committee was 
told at the March 4th USCP budget hearing that the Capitol 
Police had conducted a study to identify door closures during 
non-business hours that would lead to significant savings in 
overtime. The Committee has yet to receive the results of this 
study, which causes problems in developing accurate budget 
estimates for fiscal year 2011. The Committee directs the Chief 
of Police to complete this study within 60 days and present his 
recommendations to the Committee.

                                Salaries

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $265,188,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     289,782,000
Committee recommendation................................     277,289,000

    The amount provided covers salaries, benefits, and overtime 
costs. Capitol Police personnel are also eligible for hazardous 
duty pay and comparability pay similar to locality pay 
adjustments granted other Federal law enforcement personnel in 
the Washington, DC, area.
    The Committee recommends $277,289,000 and 2,193 FTEs for 
Capitol Police salaries, an increase of $12,101,000 over the 
enacted level and $12,493,000 below the request. The total 
staffing level is expected to be approximately 1,800 sworn and 
393 civilian staff under the Committee recommendation.
    Overtime.--The Committee recommends up to $29,195,000 for 
overtime in fiscal year 2011. This provides for approximately 
502,000 hours of additional duty. The Committee did not provide 
$1,945,351 in overtime to cover the anticipated work on the 
U.S. Capitol Dome and the utility tunnels. The Committee 
directs the Capitol Police to request a reprogramming of funds 
if necessary to cover this work.

                            General Expenses

Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................     $76,086,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      95,694,000
Committee recommendation................................      58,146,000

\1\Includes $12,956,000 in emergency spending in Public Law 111-212.

    Expenses include office supplies and equipment, laundry and 
dry cleaning, communications, motor vehicles, uniforms and 
equipment, investigations, training, and miscellaneous items.
    The Committee recommends $58,146,000 for general expenses, 
which is $17,940,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level including 
supplemental funding and $37,548,000 below the request. 
Although the USCP requested $16,000,000 for the indoor coverage 
portion of the new radio system in fiscal year 2011, the 
Committee provided $12,956,000 in Public Law 111-212, the 
fiscal year 2010 supplemental appropriations bill, to expedite 
this critical element of the project. The Committee is 
following very closely the management and execution of this 
project, and has directed GAO to provide ongoing assistance to 
ensure the schedule and budget are tightly controlled.

                       Administrative Provisions

    Sec. 1101. Transfer Authority. The Committee has included a 
routine provision which allows for funds to be transferred 
between the ``Salaries'' and ``General expenses'' accounts.
    Sec. 1102. Truck Interdiction Monitoring Program. The 
Committee has included a provision which clarifies the 
Committee's intent regarding the use of prior-year appropriated 
funds for the Truck Interdiction Monitoring Program.

                          OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE


                         Salaries and Expenses

Appropriations, 2010....................................      $4,377,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................       4,676,000
Committee recommendation................................       4,377,000

    The Office of Compliance [OOC] is an independent 
nonpartisan agency established to administer and enforce the 
Congressional Accountability Act [CAA]. The OOC administers the 
dispute resolution system established to resolve disputes that 
arise under the CAA; carries out an education and training 
program for the regulated community on the rights and 
responsibilities of the CAA; and advises Congress on needed 
changes and amendments to the CAA. The OOC General Counsel has 
independent investigatory and enforcement authority for certain 
violations of the CAA.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,377,000, 
for the salaries and expenses of the OOC, the same as the 
fiscal year 2010 level and $299,000 below the request.

                      CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE


                         Salaries and Expenses

Budget estimate, 2011...................................      47,289,000
Committee recommendation................................      46,589,000

    CBO's mandate is to provide the Congress with objective, 
nonpartisan, and timely analyses to aid in economic and 
budgetary decisions on the wide array of programs covered by 
the Federal budget, and the information and estimates required 
for the congressional budget process.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $46,589,000 
for the Congressional Budget Office. The amount provided is an 
increase of $1,424,000 over the enacted level to support 
additional staff hired with funds provided in the fiscal year 
2009 supplemental appropriations bill, and $700,000 below the 
request.

                        ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

    The Office of the Architect of the Capitol [AOC] is 
responsible to the United States Congress for the maintenance, 
operation, development, and preservation of 16.5 million square 
feet of buildings and more than 450 acres of land throughout 
the Capitol complex. This includes the Capitol, the Capitol 
Visitor Center, the House and Senate office buildings, the 
Library of Congress buildings, the U.S. Botanic Garden, the 
Capitol Power Plant, and other facilities. The AOC also 
provides professional expertise with regard to the preservation 
of architectural and artistic elements entrusted to its care, 
and provides recommendations concerning design, construction, 
and maintenance of the facilities and grounds.
    The Committee has recommended a funding level of 
$442,611,000 for all activities of the Architect of the 
Capitol, excluding House office buildings. The amount 
recommended is $171,387,000 below the request and $8,509,000 
below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level. The Committee has 
funded only the most urgently needed projects. In addition, the 
Committee has approved the use of $16,600,000 in prior year 
funds to apply toward high priority fiscal year 2011 projects 
campus-wide.
    The Committee has recommended roughly $40,000,000 in 
capital projects to address deferred maintenance, fire and life 
safety deficiencies, and capital renewal requirements. 
Addressing AOC's growing backlog of such projects has been one 
of the highest priorities in this bill.
    The following table shows the request and the Committee 
recommendation, excluding the House Office Buildings account:

    Hybrid Vehicles.--The Committee believes the Architect of 
the Capitol should explore ways to encourage the use of 
alternative vehicles as a way to reduce oil consumption and 
greenhouse gas emissions. This includes plug-in hybrid, 
electric battery powered vehicles and the continued and 
expanded use of renewable fuels. Integrating any of these 
alternatives necessitates investment in infrastructure such as 
battery recharging, ethanol and biodiesel stations. The 
Architect is directed to consider the installation and 
expansion of such infrastructure as these vehicles become more 
widely available and utilized.

                         General Administration

Budget estimate, 2011...................................     118,708,000
Committee recommendation................................     105,794,000

    The General Administration appropriation provides funding 
for salaries and related benefits of the Architect, officers, 
administrative and support staff, including engineering and 
architecture employees. This account also provides for 
administrative items such as agency-wide contractual services; 
surveys and studies; information technology; and safety 
engineering operations.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $105,794,000 
for general administration, a reduction of $12,914,000 below 
the request and $989,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted 
level. Of the amount recommended, $3,999,000 shall remain 
available until September 30, 2015.

    Utility Tunnels.--On June 11, 2007, the Architect of the 
Capitol and the Office of Compliance entered into an agreement 
to address safety and health issues in the Capitol Power Plant 
utility tunnels that were the subject of an OOC complaint and 
three citations. The AOC's Utility Tunnel Improvement Program 
is on schedule to meet the June 2012 completion date. The 
Committee commends the AOC for utilizing methodologies such as 
improved engineering data, scope consolidation, and performance 
efficiencies realized through lessons learned resulting in an 
overall reduction of the program's projected cost of 
$295,460,000 to $176,130,000.
    The Committee notes that progress continues to be made in 
the utility tunnels. Tunnel emergency evacuation plans have 
been improved and coordinated with the appropriate response 
agencies and the removal of friable asbestos insulation is 
essentially complete in all tunnels. Tunnel communication 
systems have been upgraded and new ventilation systems have 
been installed in two tunnels with the remaining tunnels 
scheduled for completion in September 2011. The installation of 
14 new egress points will be completed by spring 2011. Within 
two tunnels, known overhead hazards have been mitigated. 
Remaining concrete repairs will be completed by winter 2011. 
While the Committee is pleased with these results, the AOC 
should continue to evaluate assessments and immediately report 
any changes to current and projected costs.

    CVC Positions.--The Committee commends the work of the CVC 
congressional liaisons in working with Senate Office staff and 
supports the inclusion of these positions. However, the

authorizes the Architect of the Capitol to establish a team of 
32 senior leadership positions.

facility.

                          LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

    The Library of Congress is the Nation's oldest cultural 
institution and largest repository of human knowledge in the 
world. It is the main research arm of the United States 
Congress. Its mission is to make its resources available and 
useful to the Congress and the American people and sustain and 
preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for 
future generations. The Library's collections include more than 
138 million artifactual items (books, photographs, maps, sound 
recordings, films, sheet music, legal materials) in 470 
languages. Digital technology is transforming the way the 
Library does its work, and the institution plays an important 
leadership role in superimposing digital library collections 
and services on those that are analog based. The Library of 
Congress houses the Congressional Research Service, U.S. 
Copyright Office, National Library Service for the Blind and 
Physically Handicapped, Law Library of Congress, and numerous 
other programs and services.
    The Committee recommends a total of $643,337,000 for the 
Library of Congress, the same as the fiscal year 2010 level and 
a decrease of $31,448,000 below the request.
    In addition to the appropriation, the Library estimates 
receipts and reimbursements of $40,440,000, funds from gifts 
and trusts totaling $18,348,000 and revolving funds totaling 
$102,019,000. Total funds available to support Library 
operations, including the Architect of the Capitol account, are 
expected to be approximately $840,000,000 in fiscal year 2011 
under the Committee recommendation.
    The following table displays the Committee recommendation 
for the Library of Congress appropriations compared to the 
budget request and the fiscal year 2010 level.

Folklife Center in the Library of Congress, the Institute of 
Museum and Library Services, and other interested organizations 
will collaborate to document the experiences of the American 
worker and the transformation of work at this time in our 
Nation's history and to encourage public discourse on work-
related topics and career pathways. The Committee directs the 
Library to report to the Committee by June 1, 2011 on progress 
on the planning and development stages of the project. The 
report should contain a cost analysis of the America Works 
project and an estimate of the public and private resources 
needed for its completion. Further, the report should develop a 
detailed timeline for implementing the effort and the earliest 
possible start date.

             Books for the Blind and Physically Handicapped


                         salaries and expenses

Budget estimate, 2011...................................      71,549,000
Committee recommendation................................      70,397,000

    This appropriation supports a national reading program for 
eligible blind and physically handicapped residents of the 
United States and U.S. citizens living overseas. Books and 
magazines in braille and various recorded formats are produced 
by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically 
Handicapped for distribution through a network of State and 
locally supported libraries. At present, 56 regional libraries 
in 49 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the 
U.S. Virgin Islands house and circulate books and magazines to 
eligible readers. Sixty-three subregional libraries in 15 
States, and Guam, assist at the local public library level. 
Fifty-three of the regional libraries and 4 separate 
cooperating agencies distribute sound reproducers. Two multi-
State centers, under contract to the National Library Service, 
store and distribute books and other materials in their 
geographical region. The program supports a readership of 
approximately 900,000.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $70,397,000 
for salaries and expenses for Books for the Blind and 
Physically Handicapped. This is an increase of $215,000 over 
the fiscal year 2010 level and $1,152,000 below the request. 
The amount recommended includes $650,000 to continue to provide 
newspapers to blind and physically handicapped individuals.

                       Administrative Provisions

    Sec. 1301. The Committee has included a routine 
administrative provision regarding reimbursable and revolving 
funds carried in prior years.
    Sec. 1302. Provides authority to transfer funds between 
Library of Congress accounts, subject to the approval of the 
Committees on Appropriations.
    Sec. 1303. This provision provides the Library of Congress 
[LOC] authority to reimburse the Department of Labor for 
workers compensation claims for Library employees for prior 
years using available balances from expired LOC appropriations.
    Sec. 1304. This provision authorizes LOC to retain proceeds 
from the sale of used or surplus personal property and vehicles 
and/or to obtain trade-in credit or discount when purchasing 
new similar items.
    Sec. 1305. This provision amends the Library's gift statute 
at 2 U.S.C. 160 to allow the Librarian to accept services and 
in-kind gifts in addition to gifts of cash for immediate 
disbursement.

                       GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE


                   Congressional Printing and Binding

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $93,768,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      96,652,000
Committee recommendation................................      96,652,000

    The U.S. Government Printing Office's core mission dates to 
1813 when Congress determined the need to make information 
regarding the work of the three branches of Government 
available to all Americans. GPO is the Federal Government's 
primary centralized resource for gathering, cataloging, 
producing, providing and preserving published information in 
all its forms. By law and tradition, GPO's mission is to 
provide expert publishing and printing services to all three 
branches of Government; to provide, in partnership with Federal 
depository libraries, permanent public access to the printed 
and electronic information products of the Federal Government; 
and to sell copies of authentic printed and electronic 
documents and other government information products to the 
public.
    The Committee recommends $96,652,000 for congressional 
printing and binding. This is an increase of $2,884,000 over 
the fiscal year 2010 enacted level to cover the shortfall in 
mandatory fiscal year 2010 expenditures and the same as the 
request.
    The following table compares the component categories 
within this account for fiscal year 2011. The Committee has not 
recommended separate amounts for each activity in order to give 
GPO the flexibility to meet changing requirements.

                 Office of Superintendent of Documents


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $40,911,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      44,208,000
Committee recommendation................................      42,682,000

    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.
    The Committee recommends $42,682,000 for salaries and 
expenses of the Office of the Superintendent of Documents. This 
is an increase of $1,771,000 over the enacted level and 
$1,526,000 below the request.

               Government Printing Office Revolving Fund

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $12,782,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      25,700,000
Committee recommendation................................       8,127,000

    The bill provides $8,127,000 for the Government Printing 
Office Revolving Fund. This is $4,655,000 below the enacted 
level and $17,573,000 below the budget request. This amount 
will provide funding for the continued development of GPO's 
Federal Digital System, Advanced Print Technology, and 
continuity of Operations planning. It will also provide funding 
to continue the repair and renovation of GPO's elevators in 
fiscal year 2011.

                    GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE


                         Salaries and Expenses

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $556,849,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     601,117,000
Committee recommendation................................     556,849,000

    The U.S. Government Accountability Office [GAO] is an 
independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress. GAO 
investigates how the Federal Government spends taxpayer 
dollars. Its activities include auditing agency operations to 
determine whether Federal funds are being spent efficiently and 
effectively; investigating allegations of illegal and improper 
activities; reporting on how well government programs and 
policies are meeting their objectives; performing policy 
analyses and outlining options for congressional consideration; 
and issuing legal decisions and opinions, such as bid protest 
rulings and reports on agency rules.
    The Committee recommends funding of $556,849,000 for 
salaries and expenses of the Government Accountability Office, 
the same as the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and a reduction 
of $44,268,000 below the request. Additionally, $19,438,000 is 
authorized in offsetting collections derived from rent receipts 
and reimbursements for conducting financial audits of 
Government corporations, for a total of $576,287,000, which is 
a net increase of $4,216,000 over the fiscal year 2010 enacted 
level.
    Full-time Equivalents.--The Committee remains perplexed by 
GAO's inability to manage its full-time equivalent [FTE] level 
to meet appropriated funds and the continued insistence that 
the Committee should provide funds to accommodate its FTE 
management. The fiscal year 2011 budget request stated that GAO 
needs ``$20,400,000 to maintain our projected fiscal year 2010 
on-board staff at an FTE equivalent level of 3,270 . . .'' The 
fiscal year 2010 conference report stated, ``A total of 3,220 
FTE will be supported with these funds.'' It is astounding that 
GAO's projected on-board staff for fiscal year 2010 reflects an 
increase of 50 FTE's over the level that was provided in the 
fiscal year 2010 appropriations bill. For fiscal year 2011, the 
Committee expects GAO to adhere to the FTE level provided in 
the appropriations bill, to manage to that level throughout 
fiscal year 2011 and not increase it in the fiscal year 2012 
budget request.
    American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.--The Committee 
recommendation does not provide $21,000,000 as requested by GAO 
to continue the mandates included in the American Recovery and 
Reinvestment Act [ARRA]. Although $25,000,000 was included in 
ARRA legislation for the Comptroller General to conduct 
bimonthly reviews and prepare reports on those reviews of how 
States and localities were utilizing ARRA funding, there was no 
requirement to continue specific funding for these activities. 
The $25,000,000 was to remain available until September 30, 
2010, and the Committee understands that those funds will be 
expended by the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, the 
Committee directs GAO to reprioritize its tasks and accomplish 
all possible work in fiscal year 2011 within available 
resources.

                OPEN WORLD LEADERSHIP CENTER TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $12,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      14,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      12,000,000

    The Committee recommends $12,000,000 as a payment to the 
Open World Leadership Center Trust Fund, which is $2,000,000 
below the request and the same as the enacted level. The Center 
for Russian Leadership Development was established on December 
21, 2000 (Public Law 106-554) as a legislative branch entity. 
The Fiscal Year 2003 Consolidated Appropriation Resolution 
(Public Law 108-7) carried legislation (section 1401) changing 
the name to the Open World Leadership Center and expanding the 
mission of the program to include Newly Independent States of 
the former Soviet Union including the Baltic States. The 
mission of the Center is to enable emerging political leaders 
of Russia and Newly Independent States 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.

   JOHN C. STENNIS CENTER FOR PUBLIC SERVICE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Appropriations, 2010....................................        $430,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................         430,000
Committee recommendation................................         430,000

    The John C. Stennis Center for Public Service Training and 
Development was created by Congress in 1988. The mandate of the 
Center is to promote and strengthen public service. The 
Committee recommends the budget request of $430,000 as 
authorized by 2 U.S.C. 1105, for the Center's congressional 
staff training and development programs.

                                TITLE II

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    Included are several routine general provisions carried 
annually in the bill (secs. 201-208), as follows:
    Section 201 bans the use of appropriated funds for service 
and maintenance of private vehicles, except under such 
regulations as may be promulgated by the House Administration 
Committee and the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, 
respectively.
    Section 202 limits the availability for obligation of 
appropriations to the fiscal year for which it is expressly 
provided in the bill accompanying this report.
    Section 203 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 204 bans the use of funds for contracts unless such 
contracts are matters of public record and are available for 
public inspection.
    Section 205 appropriates such sums as may be necessary for 
the payment of settlements and awards pursuant to Public Law 
104-1.
    Section 206 authorizes legislative branch entities 
participating in the Legislative Branch Financial Managers 
Council [LBFMC] to finance the costs of the LBFMC.
    Section 207 authorizes the Architect of the Capitol to 
maintain certain property.
    Section 208 prohibits unauthorized transfers of funds to 
other agencies.
    Section 209 ensures continuation of the staff-led tours of 
the Capitol.

session.''
    The Committee has recommended no such funding.

         DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS

    The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the 
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should 
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
    As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the 
Senate, the term ``congressionally directed spending item'' 
means a provision or report language included primarily at the 
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a 
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit 
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, 
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure 
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality 
or congressional district, other than through a statutory or 
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
    For each item, a Member is required to provide a 
certification that neither the Member nor the Member's 
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such 
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are 
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee 
on Appropriations (www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm).
    This bill contains no congressionally directed spending 
items.
