**Appropriations Policy Brief**

**H.R. 5672 --- Science, State, Justice, and Commerce Appropriations Act
for FY 2007**

**[Comparison to RSC Budget:]{.underline}**

**Overview:** The RSC budget provided \$829 billion in discretionary
spending for FY 2007, compared to the \$873 allotted in the House-passed
resolution (H.Con.Res. 376). While the RSC budget did not apportion this
discretionary spending level by subcommittee---the 302(b) allocation
process---it did call for many program reductions within the
jurisdiction of the Science, State, Justice, and Commerce Appropriations
Subcommittee. Below are the highlights:

**NSF Bureaucracy:** The RSC budget funds the salaries and expenses
account at the National Science Foundation at the FY 2004 level. H.R.
5672 provides \$268.6 million for NSF bureaucracy, \$21.8 million more
than last year.

**Minority Business Development Agency:** This agency duplicates
functions carried out by the Small Business Administration. Accordingly,
the RSC budget proposes its elimination. H.R. 5672 provides \$29.6
million for this duplicative agency.

**Advanced Technology Program (ATP)**. The ATP was created in 1988 to
provide public funding in cooperation with the private sector on
projects by industry or academia seeking to research and develop broad,
generic pre-competitive commercial technologies and thereby increase the
competitiveness of the industry. However, the ATP has a poor record of
selecting promising projects that are not duplicative of existing
efforts and distorting the allocation of research dollars and displacing
private investment. It has also fostered industry dependency. Companies
subject to market forces select research projects in order to sustain
their competitiveness, ensure future growth and ultimately earn a return
on their investment. Government subsidies for projects that companies
either would not risk their own capital on or finance with private debt
or equity misallocates capital, tying up resources that can be used more
efficiently elsewhere. Therefore, the RSC budget proposes to eliminate
funding for the ATP. H.R. 5672 *terminates* funding for this program.

**Hollings Manufacturing Extension Program (MEP)**. In 1989 at the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Congress started
a nationwide network of not-for-profit centers that eventually evolved
into the current program structure, with centers in all 50 states and
Puerto Rico. According to recent data, MEP annually serves only about
seven percent of small manufacturers. MEP is a competitive grant program
designed to provide small and medium sized manufacturing firms with
managerial and technical assistance, marketing and financial assistance,
needs evaluations, knowledge and skills training as well as improving
their use of available technology to improve communications, control
costs or improve product quality. Nonfederal sources provide two-thirds
of the funding match for these centers. Federal funding for MEP
subsidizes and largely duplicates services for which a large commercial
private market already exists. MEP centers were also originally intended
to be self supporting---this has not happened. The RSC budget eliminates
funding for MEP. H.R. 5672 provides \$92 million for MEP.

**U.S. Travel and Tourism***.* The Department of Commerce promotes the
United States as a tourist destination for foreign travelers through the
U.S. Travel and Tourism Program. This is not a priority of the federal
government. In addition, most states operate their own travel and
tourism offices. The RSC budget eliminates funding for the Travel and
Tourism Program. H.R. 5672 also terminates funding for this program.

**Legal Services Corporation (LSC)**. The Legal Services Corporation
(LSC) was established by the Legal Services Corporation Act of 1974 to
provide free legal assistance to the poor in civil, non-criminal
matters. Its origins lie in President Lyndon Johnson\'s War on Poverty,
specifically with the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), which in
1965 began making direct grants to local legal aid organizations.
Instead of focusing on this core mission, the LSC has assisted lawyers
and groups engaged in lobbying, advocacy of political causes, and
litigation against the federal government. The program has not been
authorized since 1980. Services currently provided by the LSC are
duplicated by state and local governments, bar associations, and private
organizations. The RSC budget eliminates funding for the LSC. H.R. 5672
provides \$313.9 million for Legal Services, \$12.7 million less than
last year.

**State Justice Institute (SJI)**. The SJI is a non-profit corporation
that was established in 1984 to provide grant awards to assist state
courts in the area of criminal justice. Categories of grant assistance
include judicial education, technical assistance, project grants for
children and families in court, as well as improving the state-federal
court relationship, and a scholarship program for state judges. State
courts clearly play an important role in the nation's legal system.
However, the funding and assistance is a state responsibility, one that
is also duplicated by other institutions. There is no evidence it has
actually improved the administration of justice. The RSC budget
eliminates funding for SJI. H.R. 5672 provides \$2 million for SJI.

**Department of Justice Programs**. The Department of Justice currently
funds a range of justice assistance programs such as the Byrne
discretionary grants, Byrne Justice Assistance grants, COPS Hiring
Grants, COPs Interoperable Communications Technology Grants, COPs Law
Enforcement Technology Grants, Juvenile Accountability Block Grants,
National Drug Intelligence Center, and the State Criminal Alien
Assistance Program, among others. These programs address problems that
are not federal responsibilities. The RSC consolidates these programs,
eliminating many that are duplicative in nature. H.R. 5672 provides
\$1.3 billion for DOJ justice programs.

**[Items of Note]{.underline}:**

**Rescissions**: Relies on roughly \$518 million in rescissions to
offset the cost of new spending in order to comply with the budget
resolution. According to CBO, many of these rescissions do not result in
outlays savings and therefore do not represent real savings to the
taxpayer.

**Unauthorized Appropriations**: According to the Committee report, the
bill appropriates \$47.3 billion for unauthorized programs or 79% of the
entire bill. The Rules of the House prohibit this practice, but the rule
governing consideration of the bill waives this restriction.

**Ban on Centralized Firearms Database:** Prohibits the use of funds for
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to consolidate
or centralize certain firearms records within DOJ (regarding the
acquisition and disposition of firearms from federal licensees).

**Diplomatic Relations with Libya:** Prohibits funding to carry out
diplomatic relations with Libya until the President certifies to
Congress that Libya has paid the total amount of its settlement
commitment (\$10 million) to the surviving families of the victims of
Pan Am Flight 103.

**Military Bases in Iraq**: Prohibits funding from being used by the
U.S. government to enter into a basing rights agreement with the nation
of Iraq.

**Legal Services Corporation (LSC)**: Continues funding for the LSC at
\$331 million, \$13 million above the request. Some conservatives have
expressed concern that this program continues to fund questionable
litigation at taxpayer expense. For instance, LSC funds were used to
represent a Michigan State legislator making roughly \$80,000 a year, in
a personal real estate case. In addition, LSC funds were used to sue an
Ohio farmer (who eventually won the case) who fired five workers for
either not showing up for work or displaying a poor work ethic. Source:

**Ban on LSC Funding of Abortion-Related Litigation:** Retains the ban
on LSC funds flowing to organizations that engage in abortion-related
litigation.

[]{.mark}

**Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program**: Includes \$10
million for States to implement prescription drug monitoring systems.
The program was created in the FY02 CJS Appropriations bill.

**Boys and Girls Club:** Provides \$75 million of Byrne grant funding to
the Boys and Girls Clubs in public housing facilities for programs that
deter young people from entering gangs.

**Weed and Seed Strategies:** Provides \$49.3 million for the Office of
Weed and Seed Strategies which provides funds for reducing violent crime
("weeding") and community development activities ("seeding").

[]{.mark}

**Ban on Abortion Funding for Prisoners**: Retains the ban on abortion
funding for federal prisoners and the conscience protection for prison
employees who do not want to perform or facilitate an abortion. However,
the bill also retains language clarifying that the Bureau of Prisons has
an obligation to escort a female inmate outside of the federal facility
to have an abortion.

[]{.mark}

**Ban on Funding for the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation:**
Prohibits funding from being made available to the Palestinian
Broadcasting Corporation.

[]{.mark}

**Ban on Human Patenting:** Retains the ban on funds being used to issue
patents on humans.
