-STATUTE-
      (a) On the first day, or within one week thereafter, of the first
    regular session of the Eighty-second Congress and of each fifth
    Congress thereafter, the President shall transmit to the Congress a
    statement showing the whole number of persons in each State,
    excluding Indians not taxed, as ascertained under the seventeenth
    and each subsequent decennial census of the population, and the
    number of Representatives to which each State would be entitled
    under an apportionment of the then existing number of
    Representatives by the method known as the method of equal
    proportions, no State to receive less than one Member.
      (b) Each State shall be entitled, in the Eighty-third Congress
    and in each Congress thereafter until the taking effect of a
    reapportionment under this section or subsequent statute, to the
    number of Representatives shown in the statement required by
    subsection (a) of this section, no State to receive less than one
    Member. It shall be the duty of the Clerk of the House of
    Representatives, within fifteen calendar days after the receipt of
    such statement, to send to the executive of each State a
    certificate of the number of Representatives to which such State is
    entitled under this section. In case of a vacancy in the office of
    Clerk, or of his absence or inability to discharge this duty, then
    such duty shall devolve upon the Sergeant at Arms of the House of
    Representatives.
      (c) Until a State is redistricted in the manner provided by the
    law thereof after any apportionment, the Representatives to which
    such State is entitled under such apportionment shall be elected in
    the following manner: (1) If there is no change in the number of
    Representatives, they shall be elected from the districts then
    prescribed by the law of such State, and if any of them are elected
    from the State at large they shall continue to be so elected; (2)
    if there is an increase in the number of Representatives, such
    additional Representative or Representatives shall be elected from
    the State at large and the other Representatives from the districts
    then prescribed by the law of such State; (3) if there is a
    decrease in the number of Representatives but the number of
    districts in such State is equal to such decreased number of
    Representatives, they shall be elected from the districts then
    prescribed by the law of such State; (4) if there is a decrease in
    the number of Representatives but the number of districts in such
    State is less than such number of Representatives, the number of
    Representatives by which such number of districts is exceeded shall
    be elected from the State at large and the other Representatives
    from the districts then prescribed by the law of such State; or (5)
    if there is a decrease in the number of Representatives and the
    number of districts in such State exceeds such decreased number of
    Representatives, they shall be elected from the State at large.

-STATUTE-
    (a) In general
      Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, the time
    for holding elections in any State, District, or Territory for a
    Representative or Delegate to fill a vacancy, whether such vacancy
    is caused by a failure to elect at the time prescribed by law, or
    by the death, resignation, or incapacity of a person elected, may
    be prescribed by the laws of the several States and Territories
    respectively.
    (b) Special rules in extraordinary circumstances
      (1) In general
        In extraordinary circumstances, the executive authority of any
      State in which a vacancy exists in its representation in the

      such vacancy by special election.
      (2) Timing of special election
        A special election held under this subsection to fill a vacancy
      shall take place not later than 49 days after the Speaker of the
      House of Representatives announces that the vacancy exists,
      unless, during the 75-day period which begins on the date of the
      announcement of the vacancy - 
          (A) a regularly scheduled general election for the office
        involved is to be held; or
          (B) another special election for the office involved is to be
        held, pursuant to a writ for a special election issued by the
        chief executive of the State prior to the date of the
        announcement of the vacancy.
      (3) Nominations by parties
        If a special election is to be held under this subsection, the
      determination of the candidates who will run in such election
      shall be made - 
          (A) by nominations made not later than 10 days after the
        Speaker announces that the vacancy exists by the political
        parties of the State that are authorized by State law to
        nominate candidates for the election; or
          (B) by any other method the State considers appropriate,
        including holding primary elections, that will ensure that the
        State will hold the special election within the deadline
        required under paragraph (2).
      (4) Extraordinary circumstances
        (A) In general
          In this subsection, "extraordinary circumstances" occur when
        the Speaker of the House of Representatives announces that
        vacancies in the representation from the States in the House
        exceed 100.
        (B) Judicial review
          If any action is brought for declaratory or injunctive relief
        to challenge an announcement made under subparagraph (A), the
        following rules shall apply:
            (i) Not later than 2 days after the announcement, the
          action shall be filed in the United States District Court
          having jurisdiction in the district of the Member of the
          House of Representatives whose seat has been announced to be
          vacant and shall be heard by a 3-judge court convened
          pursuant to section 2284 of title 28.
            (ii) A copy of the complaint shall be delivered promptly to
          the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

          reviewable.
            (iv) The executive authority of the State that contains the
          district of the Member of the House of Representatives whose
          seat has been announced to be vacant shall have the right to
          intervene either in support of or opposition to the position
          of a party to the case regarding the announcement of such
          vacancy.
      (5) Protecting ability of absent military and overseas voters to
        participate in special elections
        (A) Deadline for transmittal of absentee ballots
          In conducting a special election held under this subsection
        to fill a vacancy in its representation, the State shall ensure
        to the greatest extent practicable (including through the use
        of electronic means) that absentee ballots for the election are
        transmitted to absent uniformed services voters and overseas
        voters (as such terms are defined in the Uniformed and Overseas
        Citizens Absentee Voting Act [42 U.S.C. 1973ff et seq.]) not
        later than 15 days after the Speaker of the House of
        Representatives announces that the vacancy exists.
        (B) Period for ballot transit time
          Notwithstanding the deadlines referred to in paragraphs (2)
        and (3), in the case of an individual who is an absent
        uniformed services voter or an overseas voter (as such terms
        are defined in the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee
        Voting Act), a State shall accept and process any otherwise
        valid ballot or other election material from the voter so long
        as the ballot or other material is received by the appropriate
        State election official not later than 45 days after the State
        transmits the ballot or other material to the voter.
      (6) Application to District of Columbia and territories
        This subsection shall apply - 
          (A) to a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to the Congress in
        the same manner as it applies to a Member of the House of
        Representatives; and
          (B) to the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto
        Rico, American Samoa, Guam, and the United States Virgin
        Islands in the same manner as it applies to a State, except
        that a vacancy in the representation from any such jurisdiction
        in the House shall not be taken into account by the Speaker in
        determining whether vacancies in the representation from the
        States in the House exceed 100 for purposes of paragraph
        (4)(A).
      (7) Rule of construction regarding Federal election laws
        Nothing in this subsection may be construed to affect the
      application to special elections under this subsection of any
      Federal law governing the administration of elections for Federal

      such law), including, but not limited to, the following:

    service in his or her office in the District of Columbia, the
    Telecommunications Allowance shall be reduced by one-half. The
    Committee on House Administration shall promulgate regulations to
    implement this order and ensure adequate telecommunications service
    for Members representing districts where WATS or similar service is
    not available.
      "Member" means each Representative in, or Delegate or Resident
    Commissioner to, the House of Representatives.

                          COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 29                      
      Resolved, that effective immediately prior to noon on January 3,

                          COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 30                      
      Resolved, that effective immediately prior to noon on January 3,

      the furthest point in the Member's District, according to the
      Rand McNally Standard Highway Mileage Guide. In no case shall
      this amount be less than $2,250. The following rates per mile
      apply:

       3000 miles or over                                     .08/mile

      6. Telephone and Telegraph Allowance. The maximum amount
    transferable will be limited to an amount computed as follows:
      15,000 minutes times the highest long-distance telephone rate
      from the District of Columbia to the Member's District.
      If the Member has elected to utilize WATS or similar service in
      his or her office in the District of Columbia, the amount will be
      reduced by one-half.
      7. District Office Rental Allowance. The maximum amount
    transferable will be computed as follows:
      1500 times the highest allowable GSA rental cost per square foot
      for office space in the Member's District.
      Additionally, a Member may transfer a maximum of $12,000 per
    regular session of Congress for computer and related services and a
    maximum of $3,000 per regular session of Congress for Office
    Equipment leasing for his or her clerk-hire allowance.
      All transfers made under this order shall be among the several
    above-stated categories and for the necessary and official expenses
    incurred by the Member in the conduct of his or her duties as a
    Member of the House of Representatives.
      In the event the House precludes the use of the contingent fund
    of the House for implementation of this committee order, the status
    quo anti shall be restored as respects the individual accounts and
    allowances heretofore established by committee order or regulation
    prior to the adoption of this committee order.
      The Committee on House Administration of the House of
    Representatives shall promulgate such regulations as may be
    necessary to carry out the provisions of this resolution.
      "Member" means each Representative in, or Delegate or Resident
    Commissioner to, the House of Representatives.

                          COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 31                      
      Resolved, that effective April 1, 1977, until otherwise provided
    by order of the Committee on House Administration, each Member,
    Delegate or Resident Commissioner of the House of Representatives
    may compensate employees from the clerk-hire allowance at a per
    annum rate equivalent to, and not to exceed, the highest per annum
    rate of basic pay, as in effect from time to time, authorized for
    Level V of the Executive Schedule (5 U.S.C. 5316).

                    TO ACCOMPANY COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 31                
      This order will tie the maximum annual rate of compensation which
    may be paid from the clerk-hire allowance to the Executive
    Schedule, and will reestablish the previously existing parity
    between the maximum which may be paid a committee employee, and the
    maximum which may be paid a clerk-hire employee.
      The Order raises the ceiling from its present level of $39,600 to
    $47,500, which corresponds to a Level V position, but provides no
    additional funds to the clerk-hire allowance. If a Member desires
    to raise an employee's salary, it must be done from the existing
    allowance.
      This action is clearly within the Committee's authority under 2
    U.S.C. 57 as modified by H.Res. 1372 (P.L. 94-440) [2 U.S.C. 57a],
    because it sets a "term or condition" of an allowance, and does not
    fix or adjust the amount of an allowance, which action would
    require a vote on the House floor.

                          COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 32                      
      Resolved, That effective October 1, 1977, until otherwise
    provided by order of the Committee on House Administration,
    reimbursement for travel by members and employees by privately
    owned conveyance shall be at the rate of 17 cents per mile for
    automobile, 15 cents per mile for motorcycle, 36 cents per mile for
    aircraft, and that such reimbursement shall be made in accordance
    with rules and regulations established by the Committee on House
    Administration.

                          COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 33

    the Committee on House Administration, the Allowance for Official

    and Furnishings are adjusted as follows:
      1. The base allowance for Official expenses is increased to
    $47,300.
      2. The Travel Allowance is increased to a base of $4,950, and the
    multiplier in the formula used to compute the variable for travel
    is increased to a range of 18 to 30 cents.
      3. The Inventory Allowance for District Office Equipment and
    Furnishing is increased to $35,000.

    rules and regulations established by the Committee on House
    Administration.

    $52,000.

    the multiplier in the formula used to compute the variable for
    travel is increased to a range of 21 to 35 cents.

    rules and regulations established by the Committee on House
    Administration.

                          COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 35                      
      Resolved, That effective May 1, 1983, until otherwise provided by
    the Committee on House Administration, the Clerk-Hire Allowance and
    the Official Expenses Allowance are adjusted as follows:
      1. The base allowance for Official Expenses is increased by
    $15,000.
      2. Each session a Member may allocate not to exceed $30,000 from
    the basic Clerk-Hire Allowance which may be used to supplement the

    for Official Expenses is adjusted as follows:
      (1) The Travel Allowance is increased to reflect a cost per mile
    variable ranging from $.23 to $.39, with a minimum of $6,200.
      Expenditures of these funds shall be made in accordance with

    Administration.

                          COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 37                      
      Resolved, That effective October 1, 1985, until otherwise
    provided by order of the Committee on House Administration, each
    Member is entitled to three FTS lines for use in district office(s)
    without charge to the official expenses allowance.

                          COMMITTEE ORDER NO. 38

-HEAD-
    Sec. 59. Home State office space for Senators; lease of office
      space

-STATUTE-
    (a) Procurement by Sergeant at Arms of Senate in places designated
      by Senator; places subject to use; lease of office space
      (1) The Sergeant at Arms of the Senate shall secure for each
    Senator office space suitable for the Senator's official use in
    places designated by the Senator in the State he represents. That
    space shall be secured in post offices or other Federal buildings
    at such places. In the event suitable office space is not available
    in post offices or other Federal buildings, the Sergeant at Arms
    shall secure other office space in those places.
      (2) The Senator may lease, on behalf of the United States Senate,
    the office space so secured for a term not extending beyond the
    term of office which he is serving on the first day of such lease,
    except that, in the case of a Senator whose term of office is
    expiring and who has been elected for another term, such lease may
    extend until the end of the term for which he has been so elected.
    Each such lease shall contain a provision permitting its
    cancellation upon sixty days written notice by the Sergeant at Arms
    and Doorkeeper of the Senate, in the event of the death or
    resignation of the Senator. A copy of each such lease shall be
    furnished to the Sergeant at Arms. Nothing in this paragraph shall
    be construed to require the Sergeant at Arms to enter into or
    execute any lease for or on behalf of a Senator.
    (b) Maximum amount of aggregate square feet for each Senator
      The aggregate square feet of office space secured for Senator
    shall not at any time exceed - 
        (1) 5,000 square feet if the population of the State of the
      Senator is less than 3,000,000;
        (2) 5,200 square feet if such population is 3,000,000 but less
      than 4,000,000;
        (3) 5,400 square feet if such population is 4,000,000 but less
      than 5,000,000;
        (4) 5,800 square feet if such population is 5,000,000 but less
      than 7,000,000;
        (5) 6,200 square feet if such population is 7,000,000 but less
      than 9,000,000;
        (6) 6,400 square feet if such population is 9,000,000 but less
      than 10,000,000;
        (7) 6,600 square feet if such population is 10,000,000 but less
      than 11,000,000;
        (8) 6,800 square feet if such population is 11,000,000 but less
      than 12,000,000;
        (9) 7,000 square feet if such population is 12,000,000 but less
      than 13,000,000;
        (10) 7,400 square feet if such population is 13,000,000 but
      less than 15,000,000;
        (11) 7,800 square feet if such population is 15,000,000 but
      less than 17,000,000; or
        (12) 8,200 square feet if such population is 17,000,000 or
      more.
    (c) Maximum annual rental rate; maximum aggregate amount for
      acquisition of furniture, equipment, and other office furnishings
      (1) The maximum annual rate that may be paid for the rental of an
    office secured for a Senator not in a post office or other Federal
    building shall not exceed the highest rate per square foot charged
    Federal agencies on the first day of the lease of such office by
    the Administrator of General Services, based upon a 100 percent
    building quality rating, for office space located in the place in
    which the Senator's office is located, multiplied by the number of
    square feet contained in that office used by the Senator and his
    employees to perform their duties.
      (2) The aggregate amount that may be paid for the acquisition of
    furniture, equipment, and other office furnishings heretofore
    provided by the Administrator of General Services for one or more
    offices secured for the Senator is $40,000 if the aggregate square
    feet of office space is not in excess of 5,000 square feet. Such
    amount is increased by $1,000 for each authorized additional
    incremental increase in office space of 200 square feet. Effective
    beginning with the 106th Congress, the aggregate amount in effect
    under this paragraph for any Congress shall be increased by the
    inflation adjustment factor for the calendar year in which the
    Congress begins. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
    inflation adjustment factor for any calendar year is a fraction the
    numerator of which is the implicit price deflator for the gross
    domestic product as computed and published by the Department of
    Commerce for the preceding calendar year and the denominator of
    which is such deflator for the calendar year 1998.
    (d) Senators subject to maximum amount of aggregate square feet and
      maximum annual rental rate
      (1) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, the aggregate
    square feet of office space secured for a Senator who is a Senator
    on July 1, 1974, shall not at any time exceed, as long as he
    continuously serves as a Senator, the greater of - 
        (A) the applicable square footage limitation of such
      subsection; or
        (B) the total square footage of those offices that the Senator
      has on such date and which are continuously maintained in the
      same buildings in which such offices were located on such date.

      (2) The provisions of subsection (c) of this section do not apply
    to any office that a Senator has on July 1, 1974, not in a post
    office or other Federal building, as long as - 
        (A) that Senator continuously serves as a Senator; and
        (B) that office is maintained in the same building in which it
      was located on such date and contains not more than the same
      number of square feet it contained in such date.
    (e) Omitted
    (f) Mobile office
      (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (2), (3), (4), and
    (5), a Senator may lease one mobile office for use only in the
    State he represents and the contingent fund of the Senate is
    available for the rental payments (including by way of
    reimbursement) made under such lease together with the actual
    nonpersonnel cost of operating such mobile office. The term of any
    such lease shall not exceed 3 years. A copy of each such lease
    shall be furnished to the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate.
      (2) The maximum aggregate annual rental payments and operating
    costs (except furniture, equipment, and furnishings) that may be
    paid to a Senator under paragraph (1) shall not at any time exceed
    an amount determined by multiplying (A) the highest applicable rate
    per square foot charged Federal agencies by the Administrator of
    General Services in the State which that Senator represents, based
    upon a 100 percent building quality rating, by (B) the maximum
    aggregate square feet of office space to which that Senator is
    entitled under subsection (b) of this section reduced by the number
    of square feet contained in offices secured for that Senator under
    subsection (a) of this section and used by that Senator and his
    employees to perform their duties.
      (3) No payment shall be made under paragraph (1) for rental
    payments and operating costs of a mobile office of a Senator unless
    the following provisions are included in its lease:
        (A) Liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 shall be
      provided with respect to the operation and use of such mobile
      office.
        (B) Either of the following inscriptions shall be clearly
      visible on three sides of such mobile office in letters not less
      than three inches high:

                     "UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT VEHICLE                 

                         "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY";                     

                                    OR                                

                      "MOBILE OFFICE OF SENATOR _____                  

                         "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY".                     

    The Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate may
    prescribe regulations to waive or modify the requirement under
    subparagraph (B) if such waiver or modification is necessary to
    provide for the public safety of a Senator and the Senator's staff
    and constituents.
      (4) No payment shall be made under paragraph (1) for rental
    payments and operating costs of a mobile office of a Senator which
    are attributable to or incurred during the 60-day period ending
    with the date of any primary or general election (whether regular,
    special, or runoff) in which that Senator is a candidate for public
    office, unless his candidacy in such election is uncontested.
      (5) Payment under paragraph (1) shall be made on a monthly basis
    and shall be paid upon vouchers approved by the Sergeant at Arms of
    the Senate.
    (g) Effective date
      This section is effective on and after July 1, 1974.

    Washington, D.C.-Baltimore, Maryland consolidated metropolitan

    he considers appropriate - 
        (1)(A) adjust the rates of pay of personnel whose pay is
      disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate, and any minimum or
      maximum rate applicable to any such personnel; or
        (B) in the case of such personnel whose rates of pay are fixed
      by or pursuant to law at specific rates, adjust such rates
      (including the adjustment of such specific rates to maximum pay

      personnel;

    by percentages which are equal or equivalent, insofar as

    to which rates of pay may be fixed by administrative action.
      (d) No rate of pay shall be adjusted under the provisions of this
    section to an amount in excess of the rate of basic pay for level
    III of the Executive Schedule contained in section 5314 of title 5,
    except in cases in which it is necessary to restore and maintain

          (A) each minimum and maximum rate of pay applicable to any
        employee or class of employees whose pay is disbursed by the
        Chief Administrative Officer (other than a maximum rate equal
        to or greater than the maximum rate then currently being paid
        under the General Schedule of section 5332 of title 5 as a
        result of such adjustment); and

      and with such variations as the Chief Administrative Officer
      considers appropriate, to the percentage of the adjustment under
      such section 5303;
        (2) shall determine, with respect to the employees and classes
      of employees within the purview of this section whose pay is
      disbursed by the Chief Administrative Officer, the respective
      amounts of pay adjustments which are equal or equivalent, insofar
      as practicable and with such exceptions and modifications as may
      be necessary to provide for appropriate pay relationships between
      positions, to corresponding increases in pay, as determined by
      the Chief Administrative Officer, made by the pay adjustment by
      the President; and
        (3) shall transmit to the appropriate pay-fixing authority
      concerned in the House of Representatives a copy of his
      determinations with respect to the pay of those employees whose
      pay is fixed and adjusted by that authority.

      (b) After consideration of the pay determinations transmitted by
    the Chief Administrative Officer, the pay-fixing authority
    concerned may adjust, notwithstanding the provisions contained in
    sections 1341, 1342, and 1349-1351 and subchapter II of chapter 15
    of title 31, the rates of pay concerned in such manner as that
    authority considers appropriate.
      (c) Nothing in this section shall impair any authority pursuant
    to which rates of pay may be fixed by administrative action.
      (d) This section shall not be deemed to authorize any adjustment
    in the rates of pay of employees whose rates of pay are disbursed
    by the Chief Administrative Officer and are fixed and adjusted from
    time to time as nearly as is consistent with the public interest in
    accordance with prevailing rates or practices, including employees
    subject to the House Wage Schedule.
      (e) No rate of pay shall be adjusted under this section to an
    amount in excess of the rate of basic pay of level V of the
    Executive Schedule contained in section 5316 of title 5.

        established under subparagraph (A), a separate subaccount is
        established for each employing office to be used by each such
        office to make student loan payments under this section. Such
        student loan payments shall be made from any funds available to
        the employing office for student loan payments that are
        contained in the subaccount for the office.
        (C) Limitation

        that the eligible employee has an outstanding student loan
        balance that qualifies for payment under this section.
      (3) Limitation
        Student loan payments may be made under this section only with
      respect to the amount of student loan indebtedness of the
      eligible employee that is outstanding on the date on which the
      employee and the employing office enter into a service agreement
      under this section. Such payments may not be made under this
      section on a student loan that is in default or arrears.
      (4) Payment on multiple loans
        Student loan payments may be made under this section with
      respect to more than 1 student loan of an eligible employee at

        Notwithstanding the terms of a service agreement under this
      section, the head of an employing office may reduce the amount of
      student loan payments made under the agreement if adequate funds
      are not available to such office. If the head of the employing
      office decides to reduce the amount of student loan payments for
      an eligible employee, the head of the office and the employee may
      mutually agree to terminate the service agreement.
      (8) No right to continued employment
        A service agreement under this section shall not be construed
      to create a right to, promise of, or entitlement to the continued
      employment of the eligible employee.
      (9) No entitlement
        A student loan payment under this section shall not be
      construed to be an entitlement for any eligible employee.

        fiscal year; or
          (B) if the total amount is not sufficient to provide the
        maximum amount to each employing office, an amount that bears
        the same relationship to the total amount as the maximum amount
        for that employing office for that fiscal year bears to the
        total of the maximum amounts for all employing offices for that
        fiscal year.

-HEAD-
    Sec. 61-1. Gross rate of compensation of employees paid by
      Secretary of Senate

-STATUTE-
    (a) Annual rate; certification
      (1) Whenever the rate of compensation of any employee whose
    compensation is disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate is fixed
    or adjusted on or after October 1, 1980, such rate as so fixed or
    adjusted shall be at a single whole dollar per annum gross rate and
    may not include a fractional part of a dollar.
      (2) New or changed rates of compensation (other than changes in
    rates which are made by law) of any such employee (other than an
    employee who is an elected officer of the Senate) shall be
    certified in writing to the Disbursing Office of the Senate (and,
    for purposes of this paragraph, a new rate of compensation refers
    to compensation in the case of an appointment, transfer from one
    Senate appointing authority to another, or promotion by an
    appointing authority to a position the compensation for which is
    fixed by law). In the case of an appointment or other new rate of
    compensation, the certification must be received by such office on
    or before the day the rate of new compensation is to become
    effective. In any other case, the changed rate of compensation
    shall take effect on the first day of the month in which such
    certification is received (if such certification is received within
    the first ten days of such month), on the first day of the month
    after the month in which such certification is received (if the day
    on which such certification is received is after the twenty-fifth
    day of the month in which it is received), and on the sixteenth day
    of the month in which such certification is received (if such
    certification is received after the tenth day and before the twenty-
    sixth day of such month). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
    if the certification for a changed rate of compensation for an
    employee specifies an effective date of such change, such change
    shall become effective on the date so specified, but only if the
    date so specified is the first or sixteenth day of a month and is
    after the effective date prescribed in the preceding sentence; and,
    notwithstanding such sentence and the preceding provisions of this
    sentence, any changed rate of compensation for a new employee or an
    employee transferred from one appointing authority to another shall
    take effect on the date of such employee's appointment or transfer
    (as the case may be) if such date is later than the effective date
    for such changed rate of compensation as prescribed by such
    sentence.
    (b) Conversion; increase in compensation
      The rate of compensation of each employee whose compensation is
    disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate which was fixed before
    August 1, 1967, at a basic rate with respect to which additional
    compensation is payable by law shall be converted as of such date
    to the lowest per annum gross rate which is a multiple of $180 and
    which is not less than the aggregate rate of compensation (basic
    compensation plus additional compensation provided by law) which
    such employee was receiving immediately prior to such date. Any
    increments of longevity compensation to which an employee became
    entitled prior to August 1, 1967, under section 60j(b) of this
    title shall be excluded in converting such employee's rate of
    compensation under this subsection, but such employee's rate of
    gross compensation shall be increased by $540 (which shall be
    considered to be an increase under section 60j(b) of this title)
    for each such increment.
    (c) Reference in other provisions to basic rates and additional
      compensation as reference to per annum gross rate
      In any case in which the rate of compensation of any employee or
    position, or class of employees or positions, the compensation for
    which is disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate, or any maximum
    or minimum rate with respect to any such employee, position, or
    class, is referred to in or provided by statute or Senate
    resolution, and the rate so referred to or provided is a basic rate
    with respect to which additional compensation is provided by law,
    such statutory provision or resolution shall be deemed to refer, in
    lieu of such basic rate, to the per annum gross rate which an
    employee receiving such basic rate immediately prior to August 1,
    1967, would receive (without regard to such statutory provision or
    resolution) under subsection (b) of this section on and after such
    date.
    (d) Compensation of employees in office of Senator; limitation;
      titles of positions
      (1)(A) Except as is otherwise provided in subparagraphs (B) and
    (C), the aggregate of gross compensation paid employees in the
    office of a Senator shall not exceed during each fiscal year the
    following:
        $1,518,333 if the population of the State is less than
      5,000,000;

      10,000,000;
        $1,848,130 if such population is 10,000,000 but less than
      11,000,000;
        $1,903,096 if such population is 11,000,000 but less than
      12,000,000;
        $1,958,061 if such population is 12,000,000 but less than
      13,000,000;
        $2,013,027 if such population is 13,000,000 but less than
      14,000,000;
        $2,067,994 if such population is 14,000,000 but less than
      15,000,000;
        $2,122,960 if such population is 15,000,000 but less than
      16,000,000;
        $2,177,928 if such population is 16,000,000 but less than
      17,000,000;
        $2,232,894 if such population is 17,000,000 but less than
      18,000,000;
        $2,268,057 if such population is 18,000,000 but less than
      19,000,000;
        $2,303,224 if such population is 19,000,000 but less than
      20,000,000;
        $2,338,391 if such population is 20,000,000 but less than
      21,000,000;
        $2,373,558 if such population is 21,000,000 but less than
      22,000,000;
        $2,408,725 if such population is 22,000,000 but less than
      23,000,000;
        $2,443,891 if such population is 23,000,000 but less than
      24,000,000;
        $2,479,054 if such population is 24,000,000 but less than
      25,000,000;
        $2,514,218 if such population is 25,000,000 but less than
      26,000,000;
        $2,549,387 if such population is 26,000,000 but less than
      27,000,000;
        $2,584,552 if such population is 27,000,000 but less than
      28,000,000; and
        $2,619,720 if such population is 28,000,000 or more.

      For any fiscal year, the population of a State shall be deemed to
    be whichever of the following is the higher:
        (I) the population of such State (as determined for purposes of
      this paragraph) for the preceding fiscal year; or
        (II) the population of such State as of the first day of such
      fiscal year, as determined by the latest census (provisional or
      otherwise) conducted prior to such first day by the Bureau of the
      Census within the Department of Commerce.

      If the population of any State, as determined under the preceding
    sentence, is not evenly divisible by 1,000,000, the population of
    such State shall be deemed to be increased to the next higher
    multiple of 1,000,000.
      If, for any period after a fiscal year has begun, the census
    figures of the most recent census conducted prior to the first day
    of such year have not been officially released, then, for such
    period, in the administration of this paragraph, it shall be
    assumed that the population of each State is the same as such
    State's population (as determined for purposes of this paragraph)
    for the preceding fiscal year.
      In the event that the term of office of a Senator begins after
    the first month of a fiscal year or ends (except by reason of
    death, resignation, or expulsion) before the last month of a fiscal
    year, the aggregate amount available for gross compensation of
    employees in the office of such Senator for such year shall be the
    applicable amount contained in the preceding table, divided by 12,
    and multiplied by the number of months in such year which are
    included in the Senator's term of office, counting any fraction of
    a month as a full month.
      (B) In the case of gross compensation paid to employees in the
    office of a Senator for the period commencing January 1, 1988, and
    ending September 30, 1988, the total of - 
        (i) the aggregate amount of gross compensation which is paid to
      employees in the office of such Senator for such period, plus
        (ii) the expenses paid to or on behalf of such Senator under
      authority of section 58 of this title (as determined after
      application of subsection (b) of such section, but without regard
      to paragraph (2)(A)(iv) thereof),

    shall not exceed the aggregate of - 
        (iii) subject to the next sentence, the amount by which (I) the
      aggregate of the gross compensation which may be paid to
      employees in the office of such Senator for the fiscal year
      ending September 30, 1988, as determined under this subsection
      (but without regard to this subparagraph), exceeds (II) the
      aggregate amount of gross compensation which is paid to employees
      in the office of such Senator for that part of such fiscal year
      which precedes January 1, 1988, plus
        (iv) the amount described in section 58(b)(2)(A)(iii) of this
      title.

    In the event that the term of office of a Senator begins after the
    first month of the period which commences January 1, 1988, and ends
    September 30, 1988, or ends (except by reason of death,
    resignation, or expulsion) before the last month of such period,
    the amount computed pursuant to clause (iii) of this subparagraph
    (but before application of this sentence) shall be recalculated as
    follows: such amount, as so computed, shall be divided by 9, and
    multiplied by the number of months in such period which are
    included in the Senator's term of office, counting any fraction of
    a month as a full month.
      (C) In the case of gross compensation paid to employees in the
    office of a Senator for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1988,
    or any fiscal year thereafter, the total of - 
        (i) the aggregate amount of gross compensation which is paid to
      employees in the office of such Senator for such year, plus
        (ii) the expenses paid to or on behalf of such Senator under
      authority of section 58 of this title (as determined after
      application of subsection (b) of such section, but without regard
      to paragraph (3)(A)(ii) and (iv) thereof),

    shall not exceed the aggregate of - 
        (iii) the amount determined under subparagraph (A) for such
      year, plus
        (iv) the amount described in section 58(b)(3) of this title (as
      determined without regard to subparagraph (A)(ii) and (iv)
      thereof).

      (2) Within the limits prescribed by paragraph (1) of this
    subsection, Senators may fix the number and the rates of
    compensation of employees in their respective offices. The salary
    of an employee in a Senator's office shall not be fixed under this
    paragraph at a rate less than $2,444 or in excess of $160,659 per

    of the Senate, $160,659, in case of an employee of a select
    committee (including the conference majority and conference
    minority of the Senate), or $162,515, in case of an employee of any
    standing committee (including the majority and minority policy
    committees) of the Senate. For the purpose of this paragraph, an
    employee of a subcommittee shall be considered to be an employee of
    the full committee.
    (f) General limitation

    Secretary of the Senate shall be paid gross compensation at a rate
    less than $2,444 or in excess of $160,659 unless expressly

      1990 - Pub. L. 101-520 amended section generally. Prior to
    amendment, section read as follows: "For the purpose of carrying
    out his duties, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate
    is authorized to incur official travel expenses not to exceed
    $250,000 during any fiscal year. With the approval of the Sergeant
    at Arms and Doorkeeper, the Secretary of the Senate is authorized
    to advance to any designated employee under the jurisdiction of the
    Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper such sums as may be necessary, not
    exceeding $1,000, to defray official travel expenses in assisting
    the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper in carrying out his duties. Any
    such employee shall, as soon as practicable, furnish to the
    Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper a detailed voucher for such
    expenses incurred and make settlement with respect to any amount so
    advanced. For purposes of this section, official travel expenses
    includes travel expenses incurred in connection with training of
    employees only if the training has been approved by the Committee
    on Rules and Administration of the Senate. Payments under this
    section shall be made from funds included in the appropriation
    'Miscellaneous Items' under the heading 'Contingent Expenses of the
    Senate' upon vouchers approved by the Sergeant at Arms and
    Doorkeeper."
      1988 - Pub. L. 100-458, which directed the substitution of "not
    to exceed $250,000 during any fiscal year" for "not to exceed
    $167,000 during any fiscal year" was executed by making the

    the probable intent of Congress because of absence of "not to
    exceed" in text.

-STATUTE-
      Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, a Senator who is the
    Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics
    may designate one employee employed in his Senate office to perform
    part-time service for such Committee, and such Committee shall
    reimburse such Senator for such employee's services for the
    Committee by transferring from the contingent fund of the Senate,
    upon vouchers approved by the Chairman of such Committee, to such
    Senator's Administrative, Clerical, and Legislative Assistance
    Allowance, with respect to each pay period of such employee, an
    amount which bears the same ratio to such employee's salary (but
    not more than one-half of such salary) for such period, as the
    portion of the time spent (or to be spent) by such employee in
    performing services for such Committee during such period bears to
    the total time for which such employee worked (or will work) during
    such period (as determined by the Chairman of such Committee) for
    such Committee and in such Senator's office. Any funds transferred
    under authority of the preceding sentence to a Senator's
    Administrative, Clerical, and Legislative Assistance (!1) shall be
    available for the same purposes and in like manner as funds therein
    which were not transferred thereto under such authority. For
    purposes of any law of the United States, a State, a territory, or
    a political subdivision thereof, an employee designated by a
    Senator pursuant to this section shall be considered to be an
    employee of such Senator's Senate office and not an employee of the
    Senate Select Committee on Ethics.

    preceding sentence shall be in accordance with normal business
    practice and shall be at fair market value. Receipts from disposals
    under the first sentence of this section (together with receipts
    from sale of transcripts, waste paper and other items provided by
    law, and receipts for missing or damaged equipment) shall be
    deposited in the Treasury for credit to the appropriate account of

    Representatives" shall be the account of the Chief Administrative
    Officer of the House of Representatives.
      (2) If disposal in accordance with paragraph (1) is not feasible

        (A) shall be at no cost to the Government; and
        (B) may be made only if the used equipment has no recoverable
      value because disposal in accordance with paragraph (1), under
      the most favorable terms available to the Government, would
      result in a loss to the Government.

      (3)(A) In the case of computer-related equipment, during fiscal
    year 1998 the Chief Administrative Officer may donate directly the
    equipment to a public elementary or secondary school of the
    District of Columbia without regard to whether the donation meets
    the requirements of the second sentence of paragraph (2), except
    that the total number of workstations donated as a result of this
    paragraph may not exceed 1,000.
      (B) In this paragraph - 
        (i) the term "computer-related equipment" includes desktops,
      laptops, printers, file servers, and peripherals which are
      appropriate for use in public school education;
        (ii) the terms "public elementary school" and "public secondary
      school" have the meaning given such terms in section 7801 of
      title 20; and
        (iii) the term "workstation" includes desktops and peripherals,
      file servers and peripherals, laptops and peripherals, printers
      and peripherals, and workstations and peripherals.

      (4) The Committee on House Oversight of the House of
    Representatives shall have authority to prescribe regulations to
    carry out this subsection.
      (5) As used in this section - 
        (A) the term "State" means a State of the United States, the
      District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and a
      territory or possession of the United States; and
        (B) the term "used equipment" means such used or surplus
      equipment (including furniture and motor vehicles) as the
      Committee on House Oversight of the House of Representatives may
      prescribe by regulation.

    of the House of the Congress disbursing his pay), in connection
    with a judicial proceeding by a court or authority responsible for
    the conduct of that proceeding, to serve - 
        (1) as a juror; or
        (2) other than as provided in subsection (c) of this section,

-STATUTE-
      There is authorized to be appropriated annually to the Library of
    Congress, in addition to appropriations otherwise made to said
    Library, such sums for expenditure under the direction of the
    Librarian of Congress as may be necessary to provide books
    published either in raised characters, on sound-reproduction
    recordings or in any other form, and for purchase, maintenance, and
    replacement of reproducers for such sound-reproduction recordings,
    for the use of the blind and for other physically handicapped
    residents of the United States, including the several States,
    Territories, insular possessions, and the District of Columbia, all
    of which books, recordings, and reproducers will remain the

    authority as unable to read normal printed material as a result of
    physical limitations, under regulations prescribed by the Librarian
    of Congress for this service. In the purchase of books in either

    and with other physically handicapped persons, in all cases where
    the prices or bids submitted by such institutions or agencies are,
    by said Librarian, under all the circumstances and needs involved,
    determined to be fair and reasonable.

    vouchers for payment from appropriations and funds, shall (1) be

    held responsible and accountable for the correctness of the
    computations of certified vouchers; and (4) be held accountable for
    and required to make good to the United States the amount of any
    illegal, improper, or incorrect payment resulting from any false,
    inaccurate, or misleading certificate made by him, as well as for

    obligation under the appropriation or fund involved: Provided, That
    the Comptroller General of the United States may, at his

    certifying officer or employee did not know, and by reasonable
    diligence and inquiry could not have ascertained, the actual facts,
    or (2) that the obligation was incurred in good faith, that the

    the Comptroller General shall relieve such certifying officer or
    employee of liability for an overpayment for transportation
    services made to any common carrier covered by section 3726 of

    because the administrative examination made prior to payment of the
    transportation bill did not include a verification of
    transportation rates, freight classifications, or land grant

    Sec. 171. Congressional declaration of findings and purpose as to
      Center for the Book

-STATUTE-
      The Congress hereby finds and declares - 
        (1) that the Congress of the United States on April 24, 1800,
      established for itself a library of the Congress;
        (2) that in 1815, the Congress purchased the personal library
      of the third President of the United States which contained
      materials on every science known to man and described such a
      collection as a "substratum of a great national library";
        (3) that the Congress of the United States in recognition of
      the importance of printing and its impact on America purchased
      the Gutenberg Bible in 1930 for the Nation for placement in the
      Library of Congress;
        (4) that the Congress of the United States has through statute
      and appropriations made this library accessible to any member of
      the public;
        (5) that this collection of books and other library materials
      has now become one of the greatest libraries in civilization;
        (6) that the book and the printed word have had the most
      profound influence on American civilization and learning and have
      been the very foundation on which our democratic principles have
      survived through our two hundred-year history;
        (7) that in the year 1977, the Congress of the United States
      assembled hereby declares its reaffirmation of the importance of
      the printed word and the book and recognizes the importance of a
      Center for the Book to the continued study and development of
      written record as central to our understanding of ourselves and
      our world.

    It is therefore the purpose of sections 171 to 175 of this title to
    establish a Center for the Book in the Library of Congress to
    provide a program for the investigation of the transmission of
    human knowledge and to heighten public interest in the role of
    books and printing in the diffusion of this knowledge.

          (A) continue the implementation of the comprehensive national

        Preservation Act of 1992. This program shall - 
            (i) coordinate activities to assure that efforts of

            (ii) generate public awareness of and support for these
          activities;
            (iii) increase accessibility of films for educational
          purposes; and
            (iv) undertake studies and investigations of film
          preservation activities as needed, including the efficacy of
          new technologies, and recommend solutions to improve these
          practices;

          (B) establish criteria and procedures under which films may
        be included in the National Film Registry, except that no film

          (C) establish procedures under which the general public may

    Film Registry, and the Librarian may place the seal on any film or
    other approved copy of the Registry version of any film that is
    maintained in the National Film Registry Collection in the Library
    of Congress. Anyone authorized to place the seal on any film or
    other approved copy of any Registry version of a film may accompany
    such seal with the following language: "This film was selected for
    inclusion in the National Film Registry by the National Film
    Preservation Board of the Library of Congress because of its
    cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance.".
    (c) Coordination of program with other collection, preservation,
      and accessibility activities

    program for motion pictures established under the National Film

        (1) carry out activities to make films included in the National
      Film registry more broadly accessible for research and
      educational purposes, and to generate public awareness and
      support of the Registry and the comprehensive national film
      preservation program;
        (2) review the comprehensive national film preservation plan,
      and amend it to the extent necessary to ensure that it addresses
      technological advances in the preservation and storage of, and
      access to film collections in multiple formats; and

      the preservation of the moving image heritage of the United
      States, including film, videotape, television, and born digital

    year.

      The revolving fund shall be credited with all advances and
    amounts received as payment for purchases under the program and

    direct and indirect costs of the program to the Library over a
    reasonable period of time.

      Any unobligated and unexpended balances in the revolving fund
    that the Librarian determines to be in excess of amounts needed for
    activities financed by the revolving fund, shall be deposited in
    the Treasury of the United States as miscellaneous receipts.
    Amounts needed for activities financed by the revolving fund means

    materials; supplies, materials, equipment and services needed in

    and travel.
    (e) Annual report

-STATUTE-
      Any committee of either House of Congress before which any
    private claim against the United States may at any time be pending,
    being first thereto authorized by the House appointing them, may
    order testimony to be taken, and books and papers to be examined,
    and copies thereof proved, before any standing master in chancery
    within the judicial district where such testimony or evidence is to
    be taken. Such master in chancery, upon receiving a copy of the
    order of such committee, signed by its chairman, setting forth the
    time and place when and where such examination is to be had, the
    questions to be investigated, and, so far as may be known to the
    committee, the names of the witnesses to be examined on the part of
    the United States, and the general nature of the books, papers, and
    documents to be proved, if known, shall proceed to give to such
    private parties reasonable notice of the time and place of such
    examination, unless such notice shall have been or shall be given
    by such committee or its chairman, or by the attorney or agent of
    the United States, or waived by such private party. And such master
    shall issue subpoenas for such witnesses as may have been named in
    the order of such committee, and such others as the agent or other
    representative of the United States hereinafter mentioned shall
    request. And he shall also issue subpoenas at the request of such
    private party, or parties, for such witnesses within such judicial
    district as they may desire: Provided, That the United States shall
    not be liable for the fees of any officer for serving any subpoena
    for any private party, nor for the fees of any witness on behalf of
    such party. Said committee may inform the United States attorney
    for the district where the testimony is to be taken of the time,
    place, and object of such examination, and request his attendance
    in behalf of the Government in conducting such examination, in
    which case it shall be his duty to attend in person, or by an
    assistant employed by him, to conduct such examination on the part
    of the United States, or such committee may, at its option, appoint
    an agent or attorney, or one of its own members, for that purpose,
    as they may deem best; and in that event, if the committee shall
    not be unanimous, the minority of the committee may also appoint
    such agent or attorney or member of such committee to attend and
    take part in such examination.

-STATUTE-
      It shall be the duty of the marshal of the United States for the
    district in which the testimony is to be taken to serve, or cause
    to be served, all subpoenas issued in behalf of the United States
    under this section and section 190l of this title, in the same
    manner as if issued by the district court for his district; and he
    shall, upon being first paid his fees therefor, serve any subpoenas
    that may be issued at the instance of such private party or
    parties. And the said master may, in his discretion, appoint any
    other person to serve any subpoena. Such master shall have full
    power to administer oaths to witnesses, and the same power to issue
    attachments to compel the attendance of witnesses and the
    production of books, papers, and documents, as the district court
    of his district would have in a case pending before it; and it
    shall be his duty to report the conduct of contumacious witnesses
    before him to the House of Congress appointing such committee. The
    compensation of such master in chancery, and the fees of marshals
    and deputy marshals, and of any person appointed to serve papers,
    shall be the same as for like services in equity cases in the
    district court of the United States; and the compensation of
    witnesses shall be the same as for like attendance and travel of
    witnesses before such district courts; and all such fees and
    compensation of officers and witnesses on behalf of the United
    States, and other expenses of all investigations which may be had
    under the provisions of this section and section 190l of this title
    on the part of the United States, shall be paid out of the
    contingent fund of the Senate, in the case of a committee of the
    Senate, or the applicable accounts of the House of Representatives,
    in the case of a committee of the House of Representatives. Said
    master, when the examination is concluded, shall attach together
    all the depositions and exhibits, and attach thereto his
    certificate setting forth or referring to the authority by which
    they were taken, any notices he may have given, the names of the
    witnesses for whom subpoenas or attachments were issued, the names
    of witnesses who attended, with the time of attendance and mileage
    and fees of each witness on behalf of the United States, which he
    may require to be shown by affidavit, his own fees, the fees of the
    marshal, his deputies or other persons serving papers, giving the
    items, and such other facts in relation to the circumstances
    connected with the taking of the depositions as he may deem
    material. He shall then seal up such depositions and papers
    securely, direct them to the chairman of such committee at
    Washington, stating briefly on the outside the nature of the
    contents, and place the same in the post office, paying the postage
    thereon; and said package shall be opened only in the presence of
    such committee. The chairman of any committee ordering testimony to
    be taken under this section and section 190l of this title shall,
    at least ten days before the time fixed for such examination, and
    within two days after the adoption of such order, cause a copy
    thereof to be directed and delivered to the Attorney General of the
    United States, or sent to him by mail at the Department of Justice,
    to enable him to give such instructions as he may deem best to the
    United States attorney of the district where such testimony is to
    be taken, who may, and, if required by the Attorney General, shall,
    though not requested by the committee, appear for the United States
    in person or by assistant, and take such part in such examination
    as the Attorney General shall direct.

      controlled by, those favoring and those opposing the resolution.
      A motion further to limit debate shall not be debatable. No
      amendment to the resolution shall be in order. No motion to
      recommit the resolution shall be in order, and it shall not be in
      order to reconsider the vote by which the resolution is agreed
      to.
        (B) Motions to postpone, made with respect to the consideration
      of the resolution, and motions to proceed to the consideration of
      other business, shall be decided without debate.
        (C) All appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
      application of the rules of the Senate to the procedure relating

    title, the term "committee" includes standing, select, and special
    committees of the Senate established by law or resolution.
    (c) Rules of the Senate

        (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate, and,
      as such, they shall be considered as part of the rules of the
      Senate, and such rules shall supersede any other rule of the
      Senate only to the extent that rule is inconsistent therewith;
      and
        (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of the
      Senate to change such rules at any time, in the same manner, and
      to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of the
      Senate.

       RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INCREASES IN EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE, AND
                             JUDICIAL SALARIES

                   TRANSMITTED TO CONGRESS JAN. 9, 1989               

     H.DOC. NO. 101-21, CONG. REC., VOL. 135, PT. 1, P. 251, JAN. 19,
                                   1989
      Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:) (!1)
      As required by section 225 of the Federal Salary Act of 1967,
    Public Law 90-206 (2 U.S.C. 351 et seq.), the latest Quadrennial
    Commission on Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Salaries
    ("Commission") has submitted to me recommendations on salaries for
    Senators, Representatives, Federal judges, Cabinet officers, and
    other agency heads, and certain other officials in the executive,
    legislative, and judicial branches.
      The statute requires that, in the budget next submitted after
    receipt of the report of the Commission, I set forth
    recommendations for adjustment of these salaries. Pursuant to
    section 225(i), as amended by section 135 of Public Law 99-190 [2
    U.S.C. 359], these recommendations will be effective unless
    Congress disapproves the recommendation by a joint resolution
    within 30 days following the transmittal of my budget.
      The Commission's report, submitted to me on December 14, 1988,
    documented both the substantial erosion in the real level of
    Federal executive pay that has occurred since 1969 and the
    recruitment and retention problems that have resulted, especially
    for the Federal judiciary. The Commission is to be commended for
    its diligent and conscientious effort to address the complicated
    and complex problems associated with Federal pay levels.
      The Commission found that Federal executives and legislators have
    experienced a decline of approximately 35 percent in real salaries
    since 1969. In contrast, the salaries of General Schedule employees
    have declined by only 8 percent over the same period. The
    Commission's recommendations go a long way towards compensating for
    this salary erosion, but they do not make up the full gap. For
    example, for an official at Executive Level II, which is also the
    Congressional salary rate, the salary level adjusted for inflation
    since 1969 would be $140,340, while the Commission's recommendation
    is $135,000.
      Every one of the Commissions that has met over the past 20 years
    concluded that a pay increase for key Federal officials was
    necessary. Each Commission found that pay for senior Government
    officials fell far behind that of their counterparts in the private
    sector. They also surmised that we cannot afford a Government
    composed primarily of those wealthy enough to serve.
      In accepting the Commission's salary recommendations, I recognize
    that we are under a mandate to reduce the Federal deficit and hold
    the costs of Government to an absolute minimum. Thus, while I have
    decided to propose a pay increase that accepts in full the salary
    recommendations made by the Commissioners in their report to me
    last month, this proposal will not increase the deficit; the
    funding for the pay increase will be fully absorbed within proposed
    budget levels.
      This increase fulfills my promise made in January 1987, that,
    assuming continued progress toward eliminating the deficit and
    favorable economic conditions, I would recommend another step
    toward overcoming the erosion of real income.
      While this represents a substantial increase in salaries, it is
    coupled with the salutary recommendation of a ban on receipt of all
    honoraria in all branches of Government. Although my recommendation
    concerning honoraria has no legal effect, I urge the swiftest
    possible consideration of this important reform. The Commission
    further recommended that Congress enact legislation to bar
    officials in the three branches from receiving honoraria. I endorse
    these recommendations of the Commission as an appropriate step
    toward better government. A salary increase and a prohibition on
    receipt of honoraria together will help ensure that the Government
    is able to attract and keep talented senior officials and that the
    questions that arise from outside payments of honoraria are put to
    rest.
      Accordingly, pursuant to subparagraphs (A), (B), (C), and (D) of
    section 225(f) and section 225(h) of Public Law 90-206 (81 Stat.
    643 and 644), as amended [2 U.S.C. 356(A)-(D), 358] [this section]:

-STATUTE-
    (a) Answer
      Any contestee upon whom a notice of contest as described in
    section 382 of this title shall be served, shall, within thirty
    days after the service thereof, serve upon contestant a written
    answer to such notice, admitting or denying the averments upon
    which contestant relies. If contestee is without knowledge or
    information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of an
    averment, he shall so state and this shall have the effect of a
    denial. Such answer shall set forth affirmatively any other
    defenses, in law or fact, on which contestee relies. Contestee
    shall sign and verify such answer by oath or affirmation.
    (b) Defenses by motion prior to answer
      At the option of contestee, the following defenses may be made by
    motion served upon contestant prior to contestee's answer:
      (1) Insufficiency of service of notice of contest.
      (2) Lack of standing of contestant.
      (3) Failure of notice of contest to state grounds sufficient to
    change result of election.
      (4) Failure of contestant to claim right to contestee's seat.
    (c) Motion for more definite statement
      If a notice of contest to which an answer is required is so vague
    or ambiguous that the contestee cannot reasonably be required to
    frame a responsive answer, he may move for a more definite
    statement before interposing his answer. The motion shall point out
    the defects complained of and the details desired. If the motion is
    granted and the order of the committee is not obeyed within ten
    days after notice of the order or within such other time as the
    committee may fix, the committee may dismiss the action, or make
    such order as it deems just.
    (d) Time for serving answer after service of motion
      Service of a motion permitted under this section alters the time
    for serving the answer as follows, unless a different time is fixed
    by order of the committee: If the committee denies the motion or
    postpones its disposition until the hearing on the merits, the
    answer shall be served within ten days after notice of such action.
    If the committee grants a motion for a more definite statement the
    answer shall be served within ten days after service of the more

-STATUTE-
    (a) Modes of service
      Except for the notice of contest, every paper required to be
    served shall be served upon the attorney representing the party,
    or, if he is not represented by an attorney, upon the party
    himself. Service upon the attorney or upon a party shall be made:
        (1) by delivering a copy to him personally;
        (2) by leaving it at his principal office with some person then
      in charge thereof; or if the office is closed or the person to be
      served has no office, leaving it at his dwelling house or usual
      place of abode with a person of discretion not less than sixteen
      years of age then residing therein; or
        (3) by mailing it addressed to the person to be served at his
      residence or principal office. Service by mail is complete upon
      mailing.
    (b) Filing of papers with clerk
      All papers subsequent to the notice of contest required to be

    accompanied by proof of service showing the time and manner of
    service, made by affidavit of the person making service or by

    Sec. 386. Deposition

-STATUTE-
    (a) Oral examination
      Either party may take the testimony of any person, including the
    opposing party, by deposition upon oral examination for the purpose
    of discovery or for use as evidence in the contested election case,
    or for both purposes. Depositions shall be taken only within the
    time for the taking of testimony prescribed in this section.
    (b) Scope of examination
      Witnesses may be examined regarding any matter, not privileged,
    which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending
    contested election case, whether it relates to the claim or defense
    of the examining party or the claim or defense of the opposing
    party, including the existence, description, nature, custody,
    condition and location of any books, papers, documents, or other
    tangible things and the identity and location of persons having
    knowledge of relevant facts. After the examining party has examined
    the witness the opposing party may cross examine.
    (c) Order and time of taking testimony
      The order in which the parties may take testimony shall be as
    follows:
      (1) Contestant may take testimony within thirty days after
    service of the answer, or, if no answer is served within the time
    provided in section 383 of this title, within thirty days after the
    time for answer has expired.
      (2) Contestee may take testimony within thirty days after
    contestant's time for taking testimony has expired.
      (3) If contestee has taken any testimony or has filed testimonial
    affidavits or stipulations under section 387(c) of this title,
    contestant may take rebuttal testimony within ten days after
    contestee's time for taking testimony has expired.
    (d) Officer before whom testimony may be taken
      Testimony shall be taken before an officer authorized to
    administer oaths by the laws of the United States or of the place
    where the examination is held.
    (e) Subpena
      Attendance of witnesses may be compelled by subpena as provided
    in section 388 of this title.
    (f) Taking of testimony by party or his agent
      At the taking of testimony, a party may appear and act in person,
    or by his agent or attorney.
    (g) Conduct of examination; recordation of testimony; notation of
      objections; interrogatories
      The officer before whom testimony is to be taken shall put the
    witness under oath and shall personally, or by someone acting under
    his direction and in his presence, record the testimony of the
    witness. The testimony shall be taken stenographically and
    transcribed. All objections made at the time of examination to the
    qualifications of the officer taking the deposition, or to the
    manner of taking it, or to the evidence presented, or the conduct
    of any party, and any other objection to the proceedings, shall be
    noted by the officer upon the deposition. Evidence objected to
    shall be taken subject to the objections. In lieu of participating
    in the oral examination, a party served with a notice of deposition
    may transmit written interrogatories to the officer, who shall
    propound them to the witness and record the answers verbatim.
    (h) Examination of deposition by witness; signature of witness or
      officer; use of deposition
      When the testimony is fully transcribed, the deposition shall be
    submitted to the witness for examination and shall be read to or by
    him, unless such examination and reading are waived by the witness
    and the parties. Any changes in the form or substance which the
    witness desires to make shall be entered upon the deposition by the
    officer with a statement of the reasons given by the witness for
    making them. The deposition shall be signed by the witness, unless
    the parties by stipulation waive the signing or the witness is ill
    or cannot be found or refuses to sign. If the deposition is not
    signed by the witness, the officer shall sign it and note on the
    deposition the fact of the waiver or of the illness or the absence
    of the witness or the fact of refusal to sign together with the
    reason, if any, given therefor; and the deposition may then be used
    as fully as though signed, unless on a motion to suppress, the
    committee rules that the reasons given for the refusal to sign
    require rejection of the deposition in whole or in part.

          (A) The identification of the person making the disbursement,

        books and accounts of the person making the disbursement.

      (3) Electioneering communication
        For purposes of this subsection - 
        (A) In general
          (i) The term "electioneering communication" means any
        broadcast, cable, or satellite communication which - 
            (I) refers to a clearly identified candidate for Federal
          office;
            (II) is made within - 
              (aa) 60 days before a general, special, or runoff
            election for the office sought by the candidate; or
              (bb) 30 days before a primary or preference election, or
            a convention or caucus of a political party that has
            authority to nominate a candidate, for the office sought by
            the candidate; and

            (III) in the case of a communication which refers to a
          candidate for an office other than President or Vice
          President, is targeted to the relevant electorate.

          (ii) If clause (i) is held to be constitutionally
        insufficient by final judicial decision to support the
        regulation provided herein, then the term "electioneering
        communication" means any broadcast, cable, or satellite
        communication which promotes or supports a candidate for that
        office, or attacks or opposes a candidate for that office
        (regardless of whether the communication expressly advocates a
        vote for or against a candidate) and which also is suggestive
        of no plausible meaning other than an exhortation to vote for
        or against a specific candidate. Nothing in this subparagraph
        shall be construed to affect the interpretation or application
        of section 100.22(b) of title 11, Code of Federal Regulations.
        (B) Exceptions
          The term "electioneering communication" does not include - 
            (i) a communication appearing in a news story, commentary,
          or editorial distributed through the facilities of any
          broadcasting station, unless such facilities are owned or
          controlled by any political party, political committee, or
          candidate;
            (ii) a communication which constitutes an expenditure or an
          independent expenditure under this Act;
            (iii) a communication which constitutes a candidate debate
          or forum conducted pursuant to regulations adopted by the
          Commission, or which solely promotes such a debate or forum
          and is made by or on behalf of the person sponsoring the
          debate or forum; or
            (iv) any other communication exempted under such
          regulations as the Commission may promulgate (consistent with
          the requirements of this paragraph) to ensure the appropriate
          implementation of this paragraph, except that under any such
          regulation a communication may not be exempted if it meets
          the requirements of this paragraph and is described in
          section 431(20)(A)(iii) of this title.
        (C) Targeting to relevant electorate
          For purposes of this paragraph, a communication which refers
        to a clearly identified candidate for Federal office is
        "targeted to the relevant electorate" if the communication can
        be received by 50,000 or more persons - 
            (i) in the district the candidate seeks to represent, in
          the case of a candidate for Representative in, or Delegate or
          Resident Commissioner to, the Congress; or
            (ii) in the State the candidate seeks to represent, in the
          case of a candidate for Senator.
      (4) Disclosure date
        For purposes of this subsection, the term "disclosure date"
      means - 
          (A) the first date during any calendar year by which a person
        has made disbursements for the direct costs of producing or
        airing electioneering communications aggregating in excess of
        $10,000; and
          (B) any other date during such calendar year by which a
        person has made disbursements for the direct costs of producing
        or airing electioneering communications aggregating in excess
        of $10,000 since the most recent disclosure date for such
        calendar year.
      (5) Contracts to disburse
        For purposes of this subsection, a person shall be treated as
      having made a disbursement if the person has executed a contract
      to make the disbursement.
      (6) Coordination with other requirements
        Any requirement to report under this subsection shall be in
      addition to any other reporting requirement under this Act.
      (7) Coordination with title 26
        Nothing in this subsection may be construed to establish,
      modify, or otherwise affect the definition of political
      activities or electioneering activities (including the definition
      of participating in, intervening in, or influencing or attempting
      to influence a political campaign on behalf of or in opposition
      to any candidate for public office) for purposes of title 26.
    (g) Time for reporting certain expenditures
      (1) Expenditures aggregating $1,000
        (A) Initial report
          A person (including a political committee) that makes or

        person shall file an additional report within 24 hours after

      (2) Expenditures aggregating $10,000

        each time the person makes or contracts to make independent
        expenditures aggregating an additional $10,000 with respect to
        the same election as that to which the initial report relates.

      required to be sent shall be considered the time of filing of the
      statement with the recipient.

    service.
      (2) With the approval of the Commission, the staff director may

    instituted under this Act, either (A) by attorneys employed in its
    office, or (B) by counsel whom it may appoint, on a temporary basis
    as may be necessary for such purpose, without regard to the
    provisions of title 5 governing appointments in the competitive
    service, and whose compensation it may fix without regard to the
    provisions of chapter 51 and subchapter III of chapter 53 of such
    title. The compensation of counsel so appointed on a temporary
    basis shall be paid out of any funds otherwise available to pay the
    compensation of employees of the Commission.

    provisions.

    Code of 1986" for "Internal Revenue Code of 1954", which for

      1980 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 96-187, Sec. 105(6), in par. (1)
    inserted "or their designees," before "ex officio", and struck out

-STATUTE-
    (a) Administrative and judicial practice and procedure
      (1) Any person who believes a violation of this Act or of chapter
    95 or chapter 96 of title 26 has occurred, may file a complaint
    with the Commission. Such complaint shall be in writing, signed and
    sworn to by the person filing such complaint, shall be notarized,
    and shall be made under penalty of perjury and subject to the
    provisions of section 1001 of title 18. Within 5 days after receipt
    of a complaint, the Commission shall notify, in writing, any person
    alleged in the complaint to have committed such a violation. Before
    the Commission conducts any vote on the complaint, other than a
    vote to dismiss, any person so notified shall have the opportunity
    to demonstrate, in writing, to the Commission within 15 days after
    notification that no action should be taken against such person on
    the basis of the complaint. The Commission may not conduct any
    investigation or take any other action under this section solely on
    the basis of a complaint of a person whose identity is not
    disclosed to the Commission.
      (2) If the Commission, upon receiving a complaint under paragraph
    (1) or on the basis of information ascertained in the normal course
    of carrying out its supervisory responsibilities, determines, by an
    affirmative vote of 4 of its members, that it has reason to believe
    that a person has committed, or is about to commit, a violation of
    this Act or chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26, the Commission
    shall, through its chairman or vice chairman, notify the person of
    the alleged violation. Such notification shall set forth the
    factual basis for such alleged violation. The Commission shall make
    an investigation of such alleged violation, which may include a
    field investigation or audit, in accordance with the provisions of
    this section.
      (3) The general counsel of the Commission shall notify the
    respondent of any recommendation to the Commission by the general
    counsel to proceed to a vote on probable cause pursuant to
    paragraph (4)(A)(i). With such notification, the general counsel
    shall include a brief stating the position of the general counsel
    on the legal and factual issues of the case. Within 15 days of
    receipt of such brief, respondent may submit a brief stating the
    position of such respondent on the legal and factual issues of the
    case, and replying to the brief of general counsel. Such briefs
    shall be filed with the Secretary of the Commission and shall be
    considered by the Commission before proceeding under paragraph (4).
      (4)(A)(i) Except as provided in clauses (!1) (ii) and
    subparagraph (C), if the Commission determines, by an affirmative
    vote of 4 of its members, that there is probable cause to believe
    that any person has committed, or is about to commit, a violation
    of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26, the
    Commission shall attempt, for a period of at least 30 days, to
    correct or prevent such violation by informal methods of
    conference, conciliation, and persuasion, and to enter into a
    conciliation agreement with any person involved. Such attempt by
    the Commission to correct or prevent such violation may continue
    for a period of not more than 90 days. The Commission may not enter
    into a conciliation agreement under this clause except pursuant to
    an affirmative vote of 4 of its members. A conciliation agreement,
    unless violated, is a complete bar to any further action by the
    Commission, including the bringing of a civil proceeding under
    paragraph (6)(A).

      (ii) If any determination of the Commission under clause (i)
    occurs during the 45-day period immediately preceding any election,
    then the Commission shall attempt, for a period of at least 15
    days, to correct or prevent the violation involved by the methods
    specified in clause (i).
      (B)(i) No action by the Commission or any person, and no
    information derived, in connection with any conciliation attempt by
    the Commission under subparagraph (A) may be made public by the
    Commission without the written consent of the respondent and the
    Commission.
      (ii) If a conciliation agreement is agreed upon by the Commission
    and the respondent, the Commission shall make public any
    conciliation agreement signed by both the Commission and the
    respondent. If the Commission makes a determination that a person
    has not violated this Act or chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26,
    the Commission shall make public such determination.
      (C)(i) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), in the case of a
    violation of any requirement of section 434(a) of this title, the
    Commission may - 
        (I) find that a person committed such a violation on the basis
      of information obtained pursuant to the procedures described in
      paragraphs (1) and (2); and
        (II) based on such finding, require the person to pay a civil
      money penalty in an amount determined under a schedule of
      penalties which is established and published by the Commission
      and which takes into account the amount of the violation
      involved, the existence of previous violations by the person, and
      such other factors as the Commission considers appropriate.

      (ii) The Commission may not make any determination adverse to a
    person under clause (i) until the person has been given written
    notice and an opportunity to be heard before the Commission.
      (iii) Any person against whom an adverse determination is made
    under this subparagraph may obtain a review of such determination
    in the district court of the United States for the district in
    which the person resides, or transacts business, by filing in such
    court (prior to the expiration of the 30-day period which begins on
    the date the person receives notification of the determination) a
    written petition requesting that the determination be modified or
    set aside.
      (5)(A) If the Commission believes that a violation of this Act or
    of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26 has been committed, a
    conciliation agreement entered into by the Commission under
    paragraph (4)(A) may include a requirement that the person involved
    in such conciliation agreement shall pay a civil penalty which does
    not exceed the greater of $5,000 or an amount equal to any
    contribution or expenditure involved in such violation.
      (B) If the Commission believes that a knowing and willful
    violation of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26
    has been committed, a conciliation agreement entered into by the
    Commission under paragraph (4)(A) may require that the person
    involved in such conciliation agreement shall pay a civil penalty
    which does not exceed the greater of $10,000 or an amount equal to
    200 percent of any contribution or expenditure involved in such
    violation (or, in the case of a violation of section 441f of this
    title, which is not less than 300 percent of the amount involved in
    the violation and is not more than the greater of $50,000 or 1,000
    percent of the amount involved in the violation).
      (C) If the Commission by an affirmative vote of 4 of its members,
    determines that there is probable cause to believe that a knowing
    and willful violation of this Act which is subject to subsection
    (d) of this section, or a knowing and willful violation of chapter
    95 or chapter 96 of title 26, has occurred or is about to occur, it
    may refer such apparent violation to the Attorney General of the
    United States without regard to any limitations set forth in
    paragraph (4)(A).
      (D) In any case in which a person has entered into a conciliation
    agreement with the Commission under paragraph (4)(A), the
    Commission may institute a civil action for relief under paragraph
    (6)(A) if it believes that the person has violated any provision of
    such conciliation agreement. For the Commission to obtain relief in
    any civil action, the Commission need only establish that the
    person has violated, in whole or in part, any requirement of such
    conciliation agreement.
      (6)(A) If the Commission is unable to correct or prevent any
    violation of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26,
    by the methods specified in paragraph (4), the Commission may, upon
    an affirmative vote of 4 of its members, institute a civil action
    for relief, including a permanent or temporary injunction,
    restraining order, or any other appropriate order (including an
    order for a civil penalty which does not exceed the greater of
    $5,000 or an amount equal to any contribution or expenditure
    involved in such violation) in the district court of the United
    States for the district in which the person against whom such
    action is brought is found, resides, or transacts business.
      (B) In any civil action instituted by the Commission under
    subparagraph (A), the court may grant a permanent or temporary
    injunction, restraining order, or other order, including a civil
    penalty which does not exceed the greater of $5,000 or an amount
    equal to any contribution or expenditure involved in such
    violation, upon a proper showing that the person involved has
    committed, or is about to commit (if the relief sought is a
    permanent or temporary injunction or a restraining order), a
    violation of this Act or chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26.
      (C) In any civil action for relief instituted by the Commission
    under subparagraph (A), if the court determines that the Commission
    has established that the person involved in such civil action has
    committed a knowing and willful violation of this Act or of chapter
    95 or chapter 96 of title 26, the court may impose a civil penalty
    which does not exceed the greater of $10,000 or an amount equal to
    200 percent of any contribution or expenditure involved in such
    violation (or, in the case of a violation of section 441f of this
    title, which is not less than 300 percent of the amount involved in
    the violation and is not more than the greater of $50,000 or 1,000
    percent of the amount involved in the violation).
      (7) In any action brought under paragraph (5) or (6), subpenas
    for witnesses who are required to attend a United States district
    court may run into any other district.
      (8)(A) Any party aggrieved by an order of the Commission
    dismissing a complaint filed by such party under paragraph (1), or
    by a failure of the Commission to act on such complaint during the
    120-day period beginning on the date the complaint is filed, may
    file a petition with the United States District Court for the
    District of Columbia.
      (B) Any petition under subparagraph (A) shall be filed, in the
    case of a dismissal of a complaint by the Commission, within 60
    days after the date of the dismissal.
      (C) In any proceeding under this paragraph the court may declare
    that the dismissal of the complaint or the failure to act is
    contrary to law, and may direct the Commission to conform with such
    declaration within 30 days, failing which the complainant may
    bring, in the name of such complainant, a civil action to remedy
    the violation involved in the original complaint.
      (9) Any judgment of a district court under this subsection may be
    appealed to the court of appeals, and the judgment of the court of
    appeals affirming or setting aside, in whole or in part, any such
    order of the district court shall be final, subject to review by
    the Supreme Court of the United States upon certiorari or
    certification as provided in section 1254 of title 28.

    person has violated an order of the court entered in a proceeding
    brought under paragraph (6), it may petition the court for an order
    to hold such person in civil contempt, but if it believes the
    violation to be knowing and willful it may petition the court for
    an order to hold such person in criminal contempt.

    person, who violates the provisions of subparagraph (A) shall be

      institution of enforcement action; publication of identity of

    immediately preceding the election involved, or in accordance with
    section 434(a)(2)(A)(i) of this title, the Commission shall notify
    the person of such failure to file the required reports. If a
    satisfactory response is not received within 4 business days after
    the date of notification, the Commission shall, pursuant to section
    438(a)(7) of this title, publish before the election the name of
    the person and the report or reports such person has failed to
    file.
    (c) Reports by Attorney General of apparent violations
      Whenever the Commission refers an apparent violation to the
    Attorney General, the Attorney General shall report to the
    Commission any action taken by the Attorney General regarding the
    apparent violation. Each report shall be transmitted within 60 days
    after the date the Commission refers an apparent violation, and

      (1)(A) Any person who knowingly and willfully commits a violation
    of any provision of this Act which involves the making, receiving,

      (2) In any criminal action brought for a violation of any
    provision of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26,
    any defendant may evidence their lack of knowledge or intent to
    commit the alleged violation by introducing as evidence a
    conciliation agreement entered into between the defendant and the
    Commission under subsection (a)(4)(A) of this section which
    specifically deals with the act or failure to act constituting such
    violation and which is still in effect.
      (3) In any criminal action brought for a violation of any
    provision of this Act or of chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26,

        (1) prescribe forms necessary to implement this Act;
        (2) prepare, publish, and furnish to all persons required to
      file reports and statements under this Act a manual recommending
      uniform methods of bookkeeping and reporting;

      political committee to solicit contributions from such committee.
      A political committee may submit 10 pseudonyms on each report

    subsection, the Commission shall perform an internal review of

    affirmative vote of 4 of its members, conduct an audit and field
    investigation of any committee which does meet the threshold
    requirements established by the Commission. Such audit shall be

    of section 3512 (!1) of title 44.

    (d) Rules, regulations, or forms; issuance, procedures applicable,
      etc.

    resolution any proposed rule or regulation submitted by the
    Commission under this section within 30 legislative days after the
    date of the receipt of such proposed rule or regulation or within
    10 legislative days after the date of receipt of such proposed
    form, the Commission may prescribe such rule, regulation, or form.
      (3) For purposes of this subsection, the term "legislative day"
    means, with respect to statements transmitted to the Senate, any
    calendar day on which the Senate is in session, and with respect to
    statements transmitted to the House of Representatives, any
    calendar day on which the House of Representatives is in session.
      (4) For purposes of this subsection, the terms "rule" and
    "regulation" mean a provision or series of interrelated provisions
    stating a single, separable rule of law.
      (5)(A) A motion to discharge a committee of the Senate from the
    consideration of a resolution relating to any such rule,
    regulation, or form or a motion to proceed to the consideration of
    such a resolution, is highly privileged and shall be decided
    without debate.
      (B) Whenever a committee of the House of Representatives reports
    any resolution relating to any such form, rule or regulation, it is
    at any time thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to
    the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the
    consideration of the resolution. The motion is highly privileged
    and is not debatable. An amendment to the motion is not in order,
    and is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the
    motion is agreed to or disagreed with.
    (e) Scope of protection for good faith reliance upon rules or
      regulations
      Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person who relies
    upon any rule or regulation prescribed by the Commission in
    accordance with the provisions of this section and who acts in good
    faith in accordance with such rule or regulation shall not, as a
    result of such act, be subject to any sanction provided by this Act
    or by chapter 95 or chapter 96 of title 26.
    (f) Promulgation of rules, regulations, and forms by Commission and
      Internal Revenue Service; report to Congress on cooperative

      In prescribing such rules, regulations, and forms under this
    section, the Commission and the Internal Revenue Service shall
    consult and work together to promulgate rules, regulations, and
    forms which are mutually consistent. The Commission shall report to
    the Congress annually on the steps it has taken to comply with this
    subsection.

      (2) For purposes of this section and section 79l(h) of title
    15,(!1) the term "contribution or expenditure" includes a
    contribution or expenditure, as those terms are defined in section
    431 of this title, and also includes any direct or indirect
    payment, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money, or

    national or State bank made in accordance with the applicable
    banking laws and regulations and in the ordinary course of
    business) to any candidate, campaign committee, or political party
    or organization, in connection with any election to any of the
    offices referred to in this section or for any applicable
    electioneering communication, but shall not include (A)
    communications by a corporation to its stockholders and executive
    or administrative personnel and their families or by a labor
    organization to its members and their families on any subject; (B)

        (A) for such a fund to make a contribution or expenditure by
      utilizing money or anything of value secured by physical force,
      job discrimination, financial reprisals, or the threat of force,
      job discrimination, or financial reprisal; or by dues, fees, or
      other moneys required as a condition of membership in a labor
      organization or as a condition of employment, or by moneys
      obtained in any commercial transaction;
        (B) for any person soliciting an employee for a contribution to
      such a fund to fail to inform such employee of the political
      purposes of such fund at the time of such solicitation; and
        (C) for any person soliciting an employee for a contribution to

      established by a corporation, to solicit contributions to such a
      fund from any person other than its stockholders and their
      families and its executive or administrative personnel and their

      families.

      (B) It shall not be unlawful under this section for a
    corporation, a labor organization, or a separate segregated fund
    established by such corporation or such labor organization, to make
    2 written solicitations for contributions during the calendar year
    from any stockholder, executive or administrative personnel, or
    employee of a corporation or the families of such persons. A
    solicitation under this subparagraph may be made only by mail
    addressed to stockholders, executive or administrative personnel,
    or employees at their residence and shall be so designed that the
    corporation, labor organization, or separate segregated fund
    conducting such solicitation cannot determine who makes a
    contribution of $50 or less as a result of such solicitation and
    who does not make such a contribution.
      (C) This paragraph shall not prevent a membership organization,
    cooperative, or corporation without capital stock, or a separate

    personnel, and their families, has been separately and specifically
    approved by the member corporation involved, and such member
    corporation does not approve any such solicitation by more than one
    such trade association in any calendar year.
      (5) Notwithstanding any other law, any method of soliciting
    voluntary contributions or of facilitating the making of voluntary
    contributions to a separate segregated fund established by a
    corporation, permitted by law to corporations with regard to
    stockholders and executive or administrative personnel, shall also
    be permitted to labor organizations with regard to their members.
      (6) Any corporation, including its subsidiaries, branches,
    divisions, and affiliates, that utilizes a method of soliciting
    voluntary contributions or facilitating the making of voluntary
    contributions, shall make available such method, on written request
    and at a cost sufficient only to reimburse the corporation for the
    expenses incurred thereby, to a labor organization representing any
    members working for such corporation, its subsidiaries, branches,
    divisions, and affiliates.
      (7) For purposes of this section, the term "executive or
    administrative personnel" means individuals employed by a
    corporation who are paid on a salary, rather than hourly, basis and
    who have policymaking, managerial, professional, or supervisory
    responsibilities.

      defined in section 527(e)(1) of title 26) made under section

    Sec. 471. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose

-STATUTE-
      The Congress hereby finds and declares that:
      (a) As technology continues to change and expand rapidly, its
    applications are - 
        (1) large and growing in scale; and
        (2) increasingly extensive, pervasive, and critical in their
      impact, beneficial and adverse, on the natural and social
      environment.

      (b) Therefore, it is essential that, to the fullest extent
    possible, the consequences of technological applications be
    anticipated, understood, and considered in determination of public
    policy on existing and emerging national problems.
      (c) The Congress further finds that:
        (1) the Federal agencies presently responsible directly to the
      Congress are not designed to provide the legislative branch with
      adequate and timely information, independently developed,
      relating to the potential impact of technological applications,
      and
        (2) the present mechanisms of the Congress do not and are not
      designed to provide the legislative branch with such information.

      (d) Accordingly, it is necessary for the Congress to - 
        (1) equip itself with new and effective means for securing
      competent, unbiased information concerning the physical,
      biological, economic, social, and political effects of such
      applications; and
        (2) utilize this information, whenever appropriate, as one
      factor in the legislative assessment of matters pending before
      the Congress, particularly in those instances where the Federal
      Government may be called upon to consider support for, or
      management or regulation of, technological applications.

    employees of the Office of Technology Assessment for 183 days
    preceding termination of employment who are terminated as a result
    of the elimination of the Office and who are not otherwise
    gainfully employed may continue to be paid by the Office of
    Technology Assessment at their respective salaries for a period not
    to exceed 60 calendar days following the employee's date of
    termination or until the employee becomes otherwise gainfully
    employed whichever is earlier. Any day for which a former employee
    receives a payment under this section shall be counted as Federal
    service for purposes of determining entitlement to benefits,
    including retirement, annual and sick leave earnings, and health
    and life insurance. A statement in writing to the Director of the
    Office of Technology Assessment or his designee by any such
    employee that he was not gainfully employed during such period or

      The Commission shall be composed of six Members appointed by the

      In performing its duties and functions, the Commission may use
    such personnel, office space, equipment, and facilities of, and
    obtain such other assistance from, the Committee on Post Office and
    Civil Service of the House, as such committee shall make available
    to the Commission. Such personnel and assistance shall include, in
    all cases, the services and assistance of the chief counsel or
    other head of the professional staff (by whatever title designated)
    of such committee. All assistance so furnished to the Commission by
    the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service shall be sufficient
    to enable the Commission to perform its duties and functions
    efficiently and effectively.
    (d) Advisory opinions or consultations respecting franked mail for
      persons entitled to franking privilege; franking privilege
      regulations
      The Commission shall provide guidance, assistance, advice, and
    counsel, through advisory opinions or consultations, in connection
    with the mailing or contemplated mailing of franked mail under
    section 3210, 3211, 3212, 3213(2), 3218, or 3219, in connection
    with the operation of section 3215, of title 39, and in connection
    with any other Federal law (other than any law which imposes any
    criminal penalty) or any rule of the House of Representatives
    relating to franked mail, upon the request of any Member of the
    House or Member-elect, Resident Commissioner or Resident
    Commissioner-elect, Delegate or Delegate-elect, any former Member
    of the House or former Member-elect, Resident Commissioner or
    Resident Commissioner-elect, Delegate or Delegate-elect, any
    surviving spouse of any of the foregoing (or any individual
    designated by the Clerk of the House under section 3218 of title
    39), or any other House official or former House official, entitled
    to send mail as franked mail under any of those sections. The
    Commission shall prescribe regulations governing the proper use of
    the franking privilege under those sections by such persons.
    (e) Complaint of franked mail violations; investigation; notice and
      hearing; conclusiveness of findings; decision of Commission;
      judicial review; reference of certain violations to Committee on
      Standards of Official Conduct of the House for appropriate action
      and enforcement; administrative procedure regulations
      Any complaint by any person that a violation of any section of
    title 39 referred to in subsection (d) of this section (or any
    other Federal law which does not include any criminal penalty or
    any rule of the House of Representatives relating to franked mail)
    is about to occur, or has occurred within the immediately preceding
    period of one year, by any person referred to in such subsection
    (d), shall contain pertinent factual material and shall conform to
    regulations prescribed by the Commission. The Commission, if it
    determines there is reasonable justification for the complaint,
    shall conduct an investigation of the matter, including an
    investigation of reports and statements filed by the complainant
    with respect to the matter which is the subject of the complaint.
    The Commission shall afford to the person who is the subject of the
    complaint due notice and, if it determines that there is
    substantial reason to believe that such violation has occurred or
    is about to occur, opportunity for all parties to participate in a
    hearing before the Commission. The Commission shall issue a written
    decision on each complaint under this subsection not later than
    thirty days after such a complaint has been filed or, if a hearing
    is held, not later than thirty days after the conclusion of such
    hearing. Such decision shall be based on written findings of fact
    in the case by the Commission. Such findings of fact by the
    Commission on which its decision is based are binding and
    conclusive for all judicial and administrative purposes, including
    purposes of any judicial challenge or review. Any judicial review
    of such decision, if ordered on any ground, shall be limited to
    matters of law. If the Commission finds in its written decision,
    that a serious and willful violation has occurred or is about to
    occur, it may refer such decision to the Committee on Standards of
    Official Conduct of the House of Representatives for appropriate
    action and enforcement by the committee concerned in accordance
    with applicable rules and precedents of the House and such other
    standards as may be prescribed by such committee. In the case of a
    former Member of the House or a former Member-elect, a former
    Resident Commissioner or Delegate or Resident Commissioner-elect or
    Delegate-elect, any surviving spouse of any of the foregoing (or
    any individual designated by the Clerk of the House under section
    3218 of title 39), or any other former House official, if the
    Commission finds in its written decision that any serious and
    willful violation has occurred or is about to occur, then the
    Commission may refer the matter to any appropriate law enforcement
    agency or official for appropriate remedial action. Notwithstanding
    any other provision of law, no court or administrative body in the
    United States or in any territory thereof shall have jurisdiction
    to entertain any civil action of any character concerning or
    related to a violation of the franking laws or an abuse of the
    franking privilege by any person listed under subsection (d) of
    this section as entitled to send mail as franked mail, except
    judicial review of the decisions of the Commission under this
    subsection. The Commission shall prescribe regulations for the
    holding of investigations and hearings, the conduct of proceedings,
    and the rendering of decisions under this subsection providing for
    equitable procedures and the protection of individual, public, and
    Government interests. The regulations shall, insofar as
    practicable, contain the substance of the administrative procedure
    provisions of sections 551-559, and 701-706, of title 5. These
    regulations shall govern matters under this subsection subject to
    judicial review thereof.
    (f) Procedural considerations; sessions, place and time; subpenas,
      issuance and service; oaths and affirmations; testimony; printing
      and binding; expenditures; organizational and procedural
      regulations; majority assent
      The Commission may sit and act at such places and times during
    the sessions, recesses, and adjourned periods of Congress, require
    by subpena or otherwise the attendance of such witnesses and the
    production of such books, papers, and documents, administer such
    oaths and affirmations, take such testimony, procure such printing
    and binding, and make such expenditures, as the Commission
    considers advisable. The Commission may make such rules respecting
    its organization and procedures as it considers necessary, except
    that no action shall be taken by the Commission unless a majority
    of the Commission assent. Subpenas may be issued over the signature
    of the Chairman of the Commission or of any member designated by
    him or by the Commission, and may be served by such person or
    persons as may be designated by such Chairman or member. The
    Chairman of the Commission or any member thereof may administer
    oaths or affirmations to witnesses.
    (g) Property of Commission; records; voting record; location of
      records, data, and files
      The Commission shall keep a complete record of all its actions,
    including a record of the votes on any question on which a record
    vote is demanded. All records, data, and files of the Commission
    shall be the property of the Commission and shall be kept in the
    offices of the Commission or such other places as the Commission

    TITLE 2 - THE CONGRESS
    CHAPTER 17 - CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE

-HEAD-
    Sec. 601. Establishment

-STATUTE-
    (a) In general
      (1) There is established an office of the Congress to be known as
    the Congressional Budget Office (hereinafter in this chapter
    referred to as the "Office"). The Office shall be headed by a
    Director; and there shall be a Deputy Director who shall perform
    such duties as may be assigned to him by the Director and, during
    the absence or incapacity of the Director or during a vacancy in
    that office, shall act as Director.
      (2) The Director shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House
    of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate
    after considering recommendations received from the Committees on
    the Budget of the House and the Senate, without regard to political
    affiliation and solely on the basis of his fitness to perform his
    duties. The Deputy Director shall be appointed by the Director.
      (3) The term of office of the Director shall be 4 years and shall
    expire on January 3 of the year preceding each Presidential
    election. Any individual appointed as Director to fill a vacancy
    prior to the expiration of a term shall serve only for the
    unexpired portion of that term. An individual serving as Director
    at the expiration of a term may continue to serve until his
    successor is appointed. Any Deputy Director shall serve until the
    expiration of the term of office of the Director who appointed him
    (and until his successor is appointed), unless sooner removed by
    the Director.
      (4) The Director may be removed by either House by resolution.
      (5)(A) The Director shall receive compensation at an annual rate
    of pay that is equal to the lower of - 
        (i) the highest annual rate of compensation of any officer of
      the Senate; or
        (ii) the highest annual rate of compensation of any officer of
      the House of Representatives.

      (B) The Deputy Director shall receive compensation at an annual
    rate of pay that is $1,000 less than the annual rate of pay
    received by the Director, as determined under subparagraph (A).
    (b) Personnel
      The Director shall appoint and fix the compensation of such
    personnel as may be necessary to carry out the duties and functions
    of the Office. All personnel of the Office shall be appointed
    without regard to political affiliation and solely on the basis of
    their fitness to perform their duties. The Director may prescribe
    the duties and responsibilities of the personnel of the Office, and
    delegate to them authority to perform any of the duties, powers,
    and functions imposed on the Office or on the Director. For
    purposes of pay (other than pay of the Director and Deputy
    Director) and employment benefits, rights, and privileges, all
    personnel of the Office shall be treated as if they were employees
    of the House of Representatives.
    (c) Experts and consultants
      In carrying out the duties and functions of the Office, the
    Director may procure the temporary (not to exceed one year) or
    intermittent services of experts or consultants or organizations
    thereof by contract as independent contractors, or, in the case of
    individual experts or consultants, by employment at rates of pay
    not in excess of the daily equivalent of the highest rate of basic
    pay payable under the General Schedule of section 5332 of title 5.
    (d) Relationship to executive branch
      The Director is authorized to secure information, data,
    estimates, and statistics directly from the various departments,
    agencies, and establishments of the executive branch of Government
    and the regulatory agencies and commissions of the Government. All
    such departments, agencies, establishments, and regulatory agencies
    and commissions shall furnish the Director any available material
    which he determines to be necessary in the performance of his
    duties and functions (other than material the disclosure of which
    would be a violation of law). The Director is also authorized, upon
    agreement with the head of any such department, agency,
    establishment, or regulatory agency or commission, to utilize its
    services, facilities, and personnel with or without reimbursement;
    and the head of each such department, agency, establishment, or
    regulatory agency or commission is authorized to provide the Office
    such services, facilities, and personnel.
    (e) Relationship to other agencies of Congress
      In carrying out the duties and functions of the Office, and for
    the purpose of coordinating the operations of the Office with those
    of other congressional agencies with a view to utilizing most
    effectively the information, services, and capabilities of all such
    agencies in carrying out the various responsibilities assigned to
    each, the Director is authorized to obtain information, data,
    estimates, and statistics developed by the Government
    Accountability Office,(!1) and the Library of Congress, and (upon
    agreement with them) to utilize their services, facilities, and
    personnel with or without reimbursement. The Comptroller
    General,(!1) and the Librarian of Congress are authorized to
    provide the Office with the information, data, estimates, and
    statistics, and the services, facilities, and personnel, referred
    to in the preceding sentence.

    (f) Revenue estimates
      For the purposes of revenue legislation which is income, estate
    and gift, excise, and payroll taxes (i.e., Social Security),
    considered or enacted in any session of Congress, the Congressional
    Budget Office shall use exclusively during that session of Congress
    revenue estimates provided to it by the Joint Committee on
    Taxation. During that session of Congress such revenue estimates
    shall be transmitted by the Congressional Budget Office to any
    committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate requesting
    such estimates, and shall be used by such Committees in determining
    such estimates. The Budget Committees of the Senate and House shall
    determine all estimates with respect to scoring points of order and
    with respect to the execution of the purposes of this Act.
    (g) Authorization of appropriations
      There are authorized to be appropriated to the Office for each
    fiscal year such sums as may be necessary to enable it to carry out
    its duties and functions. Until sums are first appropriated
    pursuant to the preceding sentence, but for a period not exceeding
    12 months following the effective date of this subsection, the
    expenses of the Office shall be paid from the contingent fund of
    the Senate, in accordance with section 68 of this title, and upon
    vouchers approved by the Director.

    likely to have a significant financial impact on the private
    sector, including any legislative proposal submitted by the
    executive branch likely to have such a budgetary or financial
    impact, shall include its views and estimates on that proposal to
    the Committee on the Budget of the applicable House.

      shall receive testimony from Members of Congress and such
      appropriate representatives of Federal departments and agencies,

      medium-term goals set forth in the report submitted by the
      members of the Joint Economic Committee under subsection (d) of
      this section may be considered by the Committee on the Budget of
      each House as part of its consideration of such concurrent
      resolution, and its report may reflect its views thereon,
      including its views on how the estimates of revenues and levels
      of budget authority and outlays set forth in such concurrent
      resolution are designed to achieve any goals it is recommending.

          (B) with respect to each major functional category, an

        in which, and the basis on which, the committee determined each
        of the matters set forth in the resolution;
          (E) the estimated levels of tax expenditures (the tax
        expenditures budget) by major items and functional categories
        for the President's budget and in the resolution; and
          (F) allocations described in section 633(a) of this title.
      (3) Additional contents of report

    (f) Achievement of goals for reducing unemployment
      (1) If, pursuant to section 4(c) of the Employment Act of 1946
    [15 U.S.C. 1022a(c)], the President recommends in the Economic
    Report that the goals for reducing unemployment set forth in
    section 4(b) of such Act [15 U.S.C. 1022a(b)] be achieved in a year
    after the close of the five-year period prescribed by such
    subsection, the concurrent resolution on the budget for the fiscal
    year beginning after the date on which such Economic Report is
    received by the Congress may set forth the year in which, in the
    opinion of the Congress, such goals can be achieved.
      (2) After the Congress has expressed its opinion pursuant to
    paragraph (1) as to the year in which the goals for reducing
    unemployment set forth in section 4(b) of the Employment Act of
    1946 [15 U.S.C. 1022a(b)] can be achieved, if, pursuant to section
    4(e) of such Act [15 U.S.C. 1022a(e)], the President recommends in
    the Economic Report that such goals be achieved in a year which is
    different from the year in which the Congress has expressed its
    opinion that such goals should be achieved, either in its action
    pursuant to paragraph (1) or in its most recent action pursuant to
    this paragraph, the concurrent resolution on the budget for the
    fiscal year beginning after the date on which such Economic Report
    is received by the Congress may set forth the year in which, in the
    opinion of the Congress, such goals can be achieved.
      (3) It shall be in order to amend the provision of such
    resolution setting forth such year only if the amendment thereto
    also proposes to alter the estimates, amounts, and levels (as
    described in subsection (a) of this section) set forth in such
    resolution in germane fashion in order to be consistent with the
    economic goals (as described in sections 3(a)(2) and 4(b) of the
    Employment Act of 1946 [15 U.S.C. 1022(a)(2), 1022a(b)]) which such
    amendment proposes can be achieved by the year specified in such
    amendment.
    (g) Economic assumptions
      (1) It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any
    concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year, or any
    amendment thereto, or any conference report thereon, that sets
    forth amounts and levels that are determined on the basis of more
    than one set of economic and technical assumptions.
      (2) The joint explanatory statement accompanying a conference
    report on a concurrent resolution on the budget shall set forth the
    common economic assumptions upon which such joint statement and
    conference report are based, or upon which any amendment contained
    in the joint explanatory statement to be proposed by the conferees
    in the case of technical disagreement, is based.
      (3) Subject to periodic reestimation based on changed economic
    conditions or technical estimates, determinations under titles III
    and IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 [2 U.S.C. 631 et
    seq., 651 et seq.] shall be based upon such common economic and
    technical assumptions.
    (h) Budget Committee's consultation with committees
      The Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives shall
    consult with the committees of its House having legislative
    jurisdiction during the preparation, consideration, and enforcement
    of the concurrent resolution on the budget with respect to all
    matters which relate to the jurisdiction or functions of such
    committees.
    (i) Social security point of order
      It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any concurrent
    resolution on the budget (or amendment, motion, or conference
    report on the resolution) that would decrease the excess of social
    security revenues over social security outlays in any of the fiscal
    years covered by the concurrent resolution. No change in chapter 1
    of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.] shall be
    treated as affecting the amount of social security revenues unless
    such provision changes the income tax treatment of social security
    benefits.

      (1) Allocation among committees
        The joint explanatory statement accompanying a conference
      report on a concurrent resolution on the budget shall include an
      allocation, consistent with the resolution recommended in the
      conference report, of the levels for the first fiscal year of the
      resolution, for at least each of the ensuing 4 fiscal years, and
      a total for that period of fiscal years (except in the case of
      the Committee on Appropriations only for the fiscal year of that
      resolution) of - 
          (A) total new budget authority; and
          (B) total outlays;

      among each committee of the House of Representatives or the
      Senate that has jurisdiction over legislation providing or
      creating such amounts.
      (2) No double counting

      committee may not be allocated to another committee.
      (3) Further division of amounts
        (A) In the Senate
          In the Senate, the amount allocated to the Committee on
        Appropriations shall be further divided among the categories
        specified in section 900(c)(4) of this title and shall not
        exceed the limits for each category set forth in section 901(c)
        of this title.
        (B) In the House
          In the House of Representatives, the amounts allocated to

        on Appropriations, shall be further divided between amounts
        provided or required by law on the date of filing of that
        conference report and amounts not so provided or required. The
        amounts allocated to the Committee on Appropriations shall be
        further divided - 
            (i) between discretionary and mandatory amounts or
          programs, as appropriate; and
            (ii) consistent with the categories specified in section
          900(c)(4) of this title.
      (4) Amounts not allocated
        In the House of Representatives or the Senate, if a committee
      receives no allocation of new budget authority or outlays, that
      committee shall be deemed to have received an allocation equal to
      zero for new budget authority or outlays.
      (5) Adjusting allocation of discretionary spending in the House
        of Representatives
        (A) If a concurrent resolution on the budget is not adopted by
      April 15, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the
      House of Representatives shall submit to the House, as soon as
      practicable, an allocation under paragraph (1) to the Committee
      on Appropriations consistent with the discretionary spending
      levels in the most recently agreed to concurrent resolution on
      the budget for the appropriate fiscal year covered by that
      resolution.
        (B) As soon as practicable after an allocation under paragraph
      (1) is submitted under this section, the Committee on
      Appropriations shall make suballocations and report those
      suballocations to the House of Representatives.
    (b) Suballocations by Appropriations Committees
      As soon as practicable after a concurrent resolution on the
    budget is agreed to, the Committee on Appropriations of each House
    (after consulting with the Committee on Appropriations of the other
    House) shall suballocate each amount allocated to it for the budget
    year under subsection (a) of this section among its subcommittees.
    Each Committee on Appropriations shall promptly report to its House
    suballocations made or revised under this subsection. The Committee
    on Appropriations of the House of Representatives shall further
    divide among its subcommittees the divisions made under subsection
    (a)(3)(B) of this section and promptly report those divisions to
    the House.
    (c) Point of order
      After the Committee on Appropriations has received an allocation
    pursuant to subsection (a) of this section for a fiscal year, it
    shall not be in order in the House of Representatives or the Senate
    to consider any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or
    conference report within the jurisdiction of that committee
    providing new budget authority for that fiscal year, until that
    committee makes the suballocations required by subsection (b) of
    this section.
    (d) Subsequent concurrent resolutions
      In the case of a concurrent resolution on the budget referred to
    in section 635 of this title, the allocations under subsection (a)
    of this section and the subdivisions under subsection (b) of this
    section shall be required only to the extent necessary to take into
    account revisions made in the most recently agreed to concurrent
    resolution on the budget.
    (e) Alteration of allocations
      At any time after a committee reports the allocations required to
    be made under subsection (b) of this section, such committee may
    report to its House an alteration of such allocations. Any
    alteration of such allocations must be consistent with any actions
    already taken by its House on legislation within the committee's
    jurisdiction.
    (f) Legislation subject to point of order
      (1) In the House of Representatives
        After the Congress has completed action on a concurrent
      resolution on the budget for a fiscal year, it shall not be in
      order in the House of Representatives to consider any bill, joint
      resolution, or amendment providing new budget authority for any

      excess of any outlay increase provided by the legislation
      proposed for consideration) is at least as great as the sum of

      excess of any revenue reduction provided by the legislation
      proposed for consideration) is at least as great as the sum of
      the amount, if any, by which the aggregate level of Federal

-HEAD-
    Sec. 636. Provisions relating to consideration of concurrent
      resolutions on the budget

-STATUTE-
    (a) Procedure in House after report of Committee; debate
      (1) When a concurrent resolution on the budget has been reported
    by the Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives and
    has been referred to the appropriate calendar of the House, it
    shall be in order on any day thereafter, subject to clause 2(l)(6)
    of rule XI (!1) of the Rules of the House of Representatives, to
    move to proceed to the consideration of the concurrent resolution.
    The motion is highly privileged and is not debatable. An amendment
    to the motion is not in order and it is not in order to move to
    reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed
    to.

      (2) General debate on any concurrent resolution on the budget in
    the House of Representatives shall be limited to not more than 10
    hours, which shall be divided equally between the majority and
    minority parties, plus such additional hours of debate as are
    consumed pursuant to paragraph (3). A motion further to limit
    debate is not debatable. A motion to recommit the concurrent
    resolution is not in order, and it is not in order to move to
    reconsider the vote by which the concurrent resolution is agreed to
    or disagreed to.
      (3) Following the presentation of opening statements on the
    concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year by the
    chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget
    of the House, there shall be a period of up to four hours for
    debate on economic goals and policies.
      (4) Only if a concurrent resolution on the budget reported by the
    Committee on the Budget of the House sets forth the economic goals
    (as described in sections 1022(a)(2) and 1022a(b) of title 15)
    which the estimates, amounts, and levels (as described in section
    632(a) of this title) set forth in such resolution are designed to
    achieve, shall it be in order to offer to such resolution an
    amendment relating to such goals, and such amendment shall be in
    order only if it also proposes to alter such estimates, amounts,
    and levels in germane fashion in order to be consistent with the
    goals proposed in such amendment.
      (5) Consideration of any concurrent resolution on the budget by
    the House of Representatives shall be in the Committee of the
    Whole, and the resolution shall be considered for amendment under
    the five-minute rule in accordance with the applicable provisions
    of rule XXIII (!1) of the Rules of the House of Representatives.
    After the Committee rises and reports the resolution back to the
    House, the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the
    resolution and any amendments thereto to final passage without
    intervening motion; except that it shall be in order at any time
    prior to final passage (notwithstanding any other rule or provision
    of law) to adopt an amendment (or a series of amendments) changing
    any figure or figures in the resolution as so reported to the
    extent necessary to achieve mathematical consistency.
      (6) Debate in the House of Representatives on the conference
    report on any concurrent resolution on the budget shall be limited
    to not more than 5 hours, which shall be divided equally between
    the majority and minority parties. A motion further to limit debate
    is not debatable. A motion to recommit the conference report is not
    in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by
    which the conference report is agreed to or disagreed to.
      (7) Appeals from decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to the
    procedure relating to any concurrent resolution on the budget shall
    be decided without debate.
    (b) Procedure in Senate after report of Committee; debate;
      amendments
      (1) Debate in the Senate on any concurrent resolution on the
    budget, and all amendments thereto and debatable motions and
    appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than
    50 hours, except that with respect to any concurrent resolution
    referred to in section 635(a) (!1) of this title all such debate
    shall be limited to not more than 15 hours. The time shall be
    equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and
    the minority leader or their designees.
      (2) Debate in the Senate on any amendment to a concurrent
    resolution on the budget shall be limited to 2 hours, to be equally
    divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of
    the concurrent resolution, and debate on any amendment to an
    amendment, debatable motion, or appeal shall be limited to 1 hour,
    to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the
    manager of the concurrent resolution, except that in the event the
    manager of the concurrent resolution is in favor of any such
    amendment, motion, or appeal, the time in opposition thereto shall
    be controlled by the minority leader or his designee. No amendment
    that is not germane to the provisions of such concurrent resolution
    shall be received. Such leaders, or either of them, may, from the
    time under their control on the passage of the concurrent
    resolution, allot additional time to any Senator during the
    consideration of any amendment, debatable motion, or appeal.
      (3) Following the presentation of opening statements on the
    concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year by the
    chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget
    of the Senate, there shall be a period of up to four hours for
    debate on economic goals and policies.
      (4) Subject to the other limitations of this Act, only if a
    concurrent resolution on the budget reported by the Committee on
    the Budget of the Senate sets forth the economic goals (as
    described in sections 1022(a)(2) and 1022a(b) of title 15) which
    the estimates, amounts, and levels (as described in section 632(a)
    of this title) set forth in such resolution are designed to
    achieve, shall it be in order to offer to such resolution an
    amendment relating to such goals, and such amendment shall be in
    order only if it also proposes to alter such estimates, amounts,
    and levels in germane fashion in order to be consistent with the
    goals proposed in such amendment.
      (5) A motion to further limit debate is not debatable. A motion
    to recommit (except a motion to recommit with instructions to
    report back within a specified number of days, not to exceed 3, not
    counting any day on which the Senate is not in session) is not in
    order. Debate on any such motion to recommit shall be limited to 1
    hour, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover
    and the manager of the concurrent resolution.
      (6) Notwithstanding any other rule, an amendment or series of
    amendments to a concurrent resolution on the budget proposed in the
    Senate shall always be in order if such amendment or series of
    amendments proposes to change any figure or figures then contained
    in such concurrent resolution so as to make such concurrent
    resolution mathematically consistent or so as to maintain such
    consistency.
    (c) Action on conference reports in Senate
      (1) A motion to proceed to the consideration of the conference
    report on any concurrent resolution on the budget (or a
    reconciliation bill or resolution) may be made even though a
    previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to.
      (2) During the consideration in the Senate of the conference
    report (or a message between Houses) on any concurrent resolution
    on the budget, and all amendments in disagreement, and all
    amendments thereto, and debatable motions and appeals in connection
    therewith, debate shall be limited to 10 hours, to be equally
    divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and
    minority leader or their designees. Debate on any debatable motion
    or appeal related to the conference report (or a message between
    Houses) shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between,
    and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the conference
    report (or a message between Houses).
      (3) Should the conference report be defeated, debate on any
    request for a new conference and the appointment of conferees shall
    be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and controlled
    by, the manager of the conference report and the minority leader or
    his designee, and should any motion be made to instruct the
    conferees before the conferees are named, debate on such motion
    shall be limited to one-half hour, to be equally divided between,
    and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the conference
    report. Debate on any amendment to any such instructions shall be
    limited to 20 minutes, to be equally divided between and controlled
    by the mover and the manager of the conference report. In all cases
    when the manager of the conference report is in favor of any
    motion, appeal, or amendment, the time in opposition shall be under
    the control of the minority leader or his designee.
      (4) In any case in which there are amendments in disagreement,
    time on each amendment shall be limited to 30 minutes, to be
    equally divided between, and controlled by, the manager of the
    conference report and the minority leader or his designee. No
    amendment that is not germane to the provisions of such amendments
    shall be received.
    (d) Concurrent resolution must be consistent in Senate
      It shall not be in order in the Senate to vote on the question of
    agreeing to - 
        (1) a concurrent resolution on the budget unless the figures
      then contained in such resolution are mathematically consistent;
      or
        (2) a conference report on a concurrent resolution on the
      budget unless the figures contained in such resolution, as
      recommended in such conference report, are mathematically
      consistent.

    appointed to a committee of conference on a concurrent resolution
    on the budget, the conferees are unable to reach agreement with

      they have agreed and reporting in disagreement those matters on
      which they have not agreed; or
        "(2) a conference report in disagreement, if the matter in
      disagreement is an amendment which strikes out the entire text of
      the concurrent resolution and inserts a substitute text."

    prepared after consultation with the Director of the Congressional
    Budget Office - 
        (A) comparing the levels in such measure to the appropriate
      allocations in the reports submitted under section 633(b) of this
      title for the most recently agreed to concurrent resolution on
      the budget for such fiscal year (or fiscal years);
        (B) containing a projection by the Congressional Budget Office

      the four ensuing fiscal years, if timely submitted before such
      report is filed; and
        (C) containing an estimate by the Congressional Budget Office
      of the level of new budget authority for assistance to State and
      local governments provided by such measure, if timely submitted

          paragraphs (1) and (2) of such subsection; or
            (II) in the House of Representatives, 20 percent of the sum
          of the absolute value of the changes the committee was
          directed to make under paragraph (1) and the absolute value
          of the changes the committee was directed to make under
          paragraph (2); and

          of the absolute value of the changes the committee was
          directed to make under paragraph (1) and the absolute value
          of the changes the committee was directed to make under
          paragraph (2); and

        (B) if the total amount of the changes recommended by such
      committee is not less than the total of the amounts of the
      changes such committee was directed to make under paragraphs (1)
      and (2) of such subsection.

      (2)(A) Upon the reporting to the Committee on the Budget of the
    Senate of a recommendation that shall be deemed to have complied
    with such directions solely by virtue of this subsection, the
    chairman of that committee may file with the Senate appropriately
    revised allocations under section 633(a) of this title and revised
    functional levels and aggregates to carry out this subsection.
      (B) Upon the submission to the Senate of a conference report

    consider any amendment to a reconciliation bill or reconciliation
    resolution if such amendment would have the effect of increasing
    any specific budget outlays above the level of such outlays
    provided in the bill or resolution (for the fiscal years covered by
    the reconciliation instructions set forth in the most recently
    agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget), or would have the
    effect of reducing any specific Federal revenues below the level of
    such revenues provided in the bill or resolution (for such fiscal
    years), unless such amendment makes at least an equivalent
    reduction in other specific budget outlays, an equivalent increase
    in other specific Federal revenues, or an equivalent combination
    thereof (for such fiscal years), except that a motion to strike a
    provision providing new budget authority or new entitlement
    authority may be in order.
      (2) It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any
    amendment to a reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution if
    such amendment would have the effect of decreasing any specific
    budget outlay reductions below the level of such outlay reductions
    provided (for the fiscal years covered) in the reconciliation
    instructions which relate to such bill or resolution set forth in a
    resolution providing for reconciliation, or would have the effect
    of reducing Federal revenue increases below the level of such
    revenue increases provided (for such fiscal years) in such
    instructions relating to such bill or resolution, unless such
    amendment makes a reduction in other specific budget outlays, an
    increase in other specific Federal revenues, or a combination
    thereof (for such fiscal years) at least equivalent to any increase
    in outlays or decrease in revenues provided by such amendment,
    except that a motion to strike a provision shall always be in
    order.
      (3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply if a declaration of
    war by the Congress is in effect.
      (4) For purposes of this section, the levels of budget outlays
    and Federal revenues for a fiscal year shall be determined on the
    basis of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget of the House
    of Representatives or of the Senate, as the case may be.
      (5) The Committee on Rules of the House of Representatives may
    make in order amendments to achieve changes specified by
    reconciliation directives contained in a concurrent resolution on
    the budget if a committee or committees of the House fail to submit
    recommended changes to its Committee on the Budget pursuant to its
    instruction.
    (e) Procedure in Senate
      (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the provisions of
    section 636 of this title for the consideration in the Senate of
    concurrent resolutions on the budget and conference reports thereon
    shall also apply to the consideration in the Senate of
    reconciliation bills reported under subsection (b) of this section
    and conference reports thereon.
      (2) Debate in the Senate on any reconciliation bill reported
    under subsection (b) of this section, and all amendments thereto
    and debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be
    limited to not more than 20 hours.
    (f) Completion of reconciliation process
      It shall not be in order in the House of Representatives to
    consider any resolution providing for an adjournment period of more
    than three calendar days during the month of July until the House
    of Representatives has completed action on the reconciliation
    legislation for the fiscal year beginning on October 1 of the
    calendar year to which the adjournment resolution pertains, if
    reconciliation legislation is required to be reported by the
    concurrent resolution on the budget for such fiscal year.
    (g) Limitation on changes to Social Security Act
      Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall not be in
    order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any
    reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution reported pursuant
    to a concurrent resolution on the budget agreed to under section
    632 or 635 of this title, or a joint resolution pursuant to section
    907d of this title, or any amendment thereto or conference report

-STATUTE-
    (a) Enforcement of budget aggregates
      (1) In House of Representatives
        Except as provided by subsection (c) of this section, after the
      Congress has completed action on a concurrent resolution on the
      budget for a fiscal year, it shall not be in order in the House
      of Representatives to consider any bill, joint resolution,
      amendment, motion, or conference report providing new budget
      authority or reducing revenues, if - 
          (A) the enactment of that bill or resolution as reported;
          (B) the adoption and enactment of that amendment; or
          (C) the enactment of that bill or resolution in the form
        recommended in that conference report;

      would cause the level of total new budget authority or total
      outlays set forth in the applicable concurrent resolution on the
      budget for the first fiscal year to be exceeded, or would cause
      revenues to be less than the level of total revenues set forth in
      that concurrent resolution for the first fiscal year or for the
      total of that first fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal years for
      which allocations are provided under section 633(a) of this
      title, except when a declaration of war by the Congress is in
      effect.
      (2) In Senate
        After a concurrent resolution on the budget is agreed to, it
      shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint
      resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report that - 
          (A) would cause the level of total new budget authority or
        total outlays set forth for the first fiscal year in the
        applicable resolution to be exceeded; or
          (B) would cause revenues to be less than the level of total
        revenues set forth for that first fiscal year or for the total
        of that first fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal years in the
        applicable resolution for which allocations are provided under
        section 633(a) of this title.
      (3) Enforcement of social security levels in Senate
        After a concurrent resolution on the budget is agreed to, it
      shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint
      resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report that would
      cause a decrease in social security surpluses or an increase in
      social security deficits relative to the levels set forth in the
      applicable resolution for the first fiscal year or for the total
      of that fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal years for which
      allocations are provided under section 633(a) of this title.
    (b) Social security levels
      (1) In general
        For purposes of subsection (a)(3) of this section, social
      security surpluses equal the excess of social security revenues
      over social security outlays in a fiscal year or years with such
      an excess and social security deficits equal the excess of social
      security outlays over social security revenues in a fiscal year
      or years with such an excess.
      (2) Tax treatment
        For purposes of subsection (a)(3) of this section, no provision
      of any legislation involving a change in chapter 1 of the
      Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.] shall be
      treated as affecting the amount of social security revenues or
      outlays unless that provision changes the income tax treatment of
      social security benefits.
    (c) Exception in House of Representatives
      Subsection (a)(1) of this section shall not apply in the House of
    Representatives to any bill, joint resolution, or amendment that
    provides new budget authority for a fiscal year or to any
    conference report on any such bill or resolution, if - 
        (1) the enactment of that bill or resolution as reported;
        (2) the adoption and enactment of that amendment; or
        (3) the enactment of that bill or resolution in the form
      recommended in that conference report;

    would not cause the appropriate allocation of new budget authority
    made pursuant to section 633(a) of this title for that fiscal year
    to be exceeded.

    Sec. 643. Determinations and points of order

-STATUTE-
    (a) Budget Committee determinations
      For purposes of this subchapter and subchapter II of this
    chapter, the levels of new budget authority, outlays, direct
    spending, new entitlement authority, and revenues for a fiscal year
    shall be determined on the basis of estimates made by the Committee
    on the Budget of the House of Representatives or the Senate, as
    applicable.
    (b) Discretionary spending point of order in Senate
      (1) In general
        Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, it shall not
      be in order in the Senate to consider any bill or resolution (or
      amendment, motion, or conference report on that bill or
      resolution) that would exceed any of the discretionary spending
      limits in section 251(c) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency
      Deficit Control Act of 1985 [2 U.S.C. 901(c)].
      (2) Exceptions
        This subsection shall not apply if a declaration of war by the
      Congress is in effect or if a joint resolution pursuant to
      section 258 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control
      Act of 1985 [2 U.S.C. 907a] has been enacted.
    (c) Maximum deficit amount point of order in Senate
      It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any concurrent
    resolution on the budget for a fiscal year, or to consider any
    amendment to that concurrent resolution, or to consider a
    conference report on that concurrent resolution, if - 
        (1) the level of total outlays for the first fiscal year set
      forth in that concurrent resolution or conference report exceeds;
      or
        (2) the adoption of that amendment would result in a level of
      total outlays for that fiscal year that exceeds;

    the recommended level of Federal revenues for that fiscal year, by
    an amount that is greater than the maximum deficit amount, if any,
    specified in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act
    of 1985 for that fiscal year.
    (d) Timing of points of order in Senate
      A point of order under this Act may not be raised against a bill,
    resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report while an
    amendment or motion, the adoption of which would remedy the
    violation of this Act, is pending before the Senate.
    (e) Points of order in Senate against amendments between Houses
      Each provision of this Act that establishes a point of order
    against an amendment also establishes a point of order in the
    Senate against an amendment between the Houses. If a point of order
    under this Act is raised in the Senate against an amendment between
    the Houses and the point of order is sustained, the effect shall be
    the same as if the Senate had disagreed to the amendment.
    (f) Effect of point of order in Senate
      In the Senate, if a point of order under this Act against a bill

    Sec. 644. Extraneous matter in reconciliation legislation

-STATUTE-
    (a) In general
      When the Senate is considering a reconciliation bill or a
    reconciliation resolution pursuant to section 641 of this title
    (whether that bill or resolution originated in the Senate or the
    House) or section 907d of this title, upon a point of order being
    made by any Senator against material extraneous to the instructions
    to a committee which is contained in any title or provision of the
    bill or resolution or offered as an amendment to the bill or
    resolution, and the point of order is sustained by the Chair, any
    part of said title or provision that contains material extraneous
    to the instructions to said Committee as defined in subsection (b)
    of this section shall be deemed stricken from the bill and may not
    be offered as an amendment from the floor.
    (b) Extraneous provisions
      (1)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a provision of a
    reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution considered
    pursuant to section 641 of this title shall be considered
    extraneous if such provision does not produce a change in outlays
    or revenues, including changes in outlays and revenues brought
    about by changes in the terms and conditions under which outlays
    are made or revenues are required to be collected (but a provision
    in which outlay decreases or revenue increases exactly offset
    outlay increases or revenue decreases shall not be considered
    extraneous by virtue of this subparagraph); (B) any provision
    producing an increase in outlays or decrease in revenues shall be
    considered extraneous if the net effect of provisions reported by
    the committee reporting the title containing the provision is that
    the committee fails to achieve its reconciliation instructions; (C)
    a provision that is not in the jurisdiction of the committee with
    jurisdiction over said title or provision shall be considered
    extraneous; (D) a provision shall be considered extraneous if it
    produces changes in outlays or revenues which are merely incidental
    to the non-budgetary components of the provision; (E) a provision
    shall be considered to be extraneous if it increases, or would
    increase, net outlays, or if it decreases, or would decrease,
    revenues during a fiscal year after the fiscal years covered by
    such reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution, and such
    increases or decreases are greater than outlay reductions or
    revenue increases resulting from other provisions in such title in
    such year; and (F) a provision shall be considered extraneous if it
    violates section 641(g) of this title.
      (2) A Senate-originated provision shall not be considered
    extraneous under paragraph (1)(A) if the Chairman and Ranking
    Minority Member of the Committee on the Budget and the Chairman and
    Ranking Minority Member of the Committee which reported the
    provision certify that: (A) the provision mitigates direct effects
    clearly attributable to a provision changing outlays or revenues
    and both provisions together produce a net reduction in the
    deficit; (B) the provision will result in a substantial reduction
    in outlays or a substantial increase in revenues during fiscal
    years after the fiscal years covered by the reconciliation bill or
    reconciliation resolution; (C) a reduction of outlays or an
    increase in revenues is likely to occur as a result of the
    provision, in the event of new regulations authorized by the
    provision or likely to be proposed, court rulings on pending
    litigation, or relationships between economic indices and
    stipulated statutory triggers pertaining to the provision, other
    than the regulations, court rulings or relationships currently
    projected by the Congressional Budget Office for scorekeeping
    purposes; or (D) such provision will be likely to produce a
    significant reduction in outlays or increase in revenues but, due
    to insufficient data, such reduction or increase cannot be reliably
    estimated.
      (3) A provision reported by a committee shall not be considered
    extraneous under paragraph (1)(C) if (A) the provision is an
    integral part of a provision or title, which if introduced as a
    bill or resolution would be referred to such committee, and the
    provision sets forth the procedure to carry out or implement the
    substantive provisions that were reported and which fall within the
    jurisdiction of such committee; or (B) the provision states an
    exception to, or a special application of, the general provision or
    title of which it is a part and such general provision or title if
    introduced as a bill or resolution would be referred to such
    committee.
    (c) Extraneous materials
      Upon the reporting or discharge of a reconciliation bill or
    resolution pursuant to section 641 of this title in the Senate, and
    again upon the submission of a conference report on such a
    reconciliation bill or resolution, the Committee on the Budget of
    the Senate shall submit for the record a list of material
    considered to be extraneous under subsections (b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B),
    and (b)(1)(E) of this section to the instructions of a committee as
    provided in this section. The inclusion or exclusion of a provision
    shall not constitute a determination of extraneousness by the
    Presiding Officer of the Senate.
    (d) Conference reports
      When the Senate is considering a conference report on, or an
    amendment between the Houses in relation to, a reconciliation bill
    or reconciliation resolution pursuant to section 641 of this title,
    upon - 
        (1) a point of order being made by any Senator against
      extraneous material meeting the definition of subsections
      (b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), (b)(1)(D), (b)(1)(E), or (b)(1)(F) of this
      section, and
        (2) such point of order being sustained,

    such material contained in such conference report or amendment
    shall be deemed stricken, and the Senate shall proceed, without
    intervening action or motion, to consider the question of whether
    the Senate shall recede from its amendment and concur with a
    further amendment, or concur in the House amendment with a further
    amendment, as the case may be, which further amendment shall
    consist of only that portion of the conference report or House
    amendment, as the case may be, not so stricken. Any such motion in
    the Senate shall be debatable for two hours. In any case in which
    such point of order is sustained against a conference report (or
    Senate amendment derived from such conference report by operation
    of this subsection), no further amendment shall be in order.
    (e) General point of order
      Notwithstanding any other law or rule of the Senate, it shall be
    in order for a Senator to raise a single point of order that
    several provisions of a bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or
    conference report violate this section. The Presiding Officer may
    sustain the point of order as to some or all of the provisions
    against which the Senator raised the point of order. If the
    Presiding Officer so sustains the point of order as to some of the
    provisions (including provisions of an amendment, motion, or
    conference report) against which the Senator raised the point of
    order, then only those provisions (including provisions of an
    amendment, motion, or conference report) against which the
    Presiding Officer sustains the point of order shall be deemed
    stricken pursuant to this section. Before the Presiding Officer
    rules on such a point of order, any Senator may move to waive such
    a point of order as it applies to some or all of the provisions
    against which the point of order was raised. Such a motion to waive
    is amendable in accordance with the rules and precedents of the
    Senate. After the Presiding Officer rules on such a point of order,
    any Senator may appeal the ruling of the Presiding Officer on such
    a point of order as it applies to some or all of the provisions on
    which the Presiding Officer ruled.

    Sec. 651. Budget-related legislation not subject to appropriations

-STATUTE-
    (a) Controls on certain budget-related legislation not subject to
      appropriations
      It shall not be in order in either the House of Representatives
    or the Senate to consider any bill or joint resolution (in the
    House of Representatives only, as reported), amendment, motion, or
    conference report that provides - 
        (1) new authority to enter into contracts under which the
      United States is obligated to make outlays;
        (2) new authority to incur indebtedness (other than
      indebtedness incurred under chapter 31 of title 31) for the
      repayment of which the United States is liable; or
        (3) new credit authority;

    unless that bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or
    conference report also provides that the new authority is to be
    effective for any fiscal year only to the extent or in the amounts
    provided in advance in appropriation Acts.
    (b) Legislation providing new entitlement authority
      (1) Point of order. - It shall not be in order in either the
    House of Representatives or the Senate to consider any bill or
    joint resolution (in the House of Representatives only, as
    reported), amendment, motion, or conference report that provides
    new entitlement authority that is to become effective during the
    current fiscal year.
      (2) If any committee of the House of Representatives or the
    Senate reports any bill or resolution which provides new
    entitlement authority which is to become effective during a fiscal
    year and the amount of new budget authority which will be required
    for such fiscal year if such bill or resolution is enacted as so
    reported exceeds the appropriate allocation of new budget authority
    reported under section 633(b) of this title in connection with the
    most recently agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget for
    such fiscal year, such bill or resolution shall then be referred to
    the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate or may then be
    referred to the Committee on Appropriations of the House, as the
    case may be, with instructions to report it, with the committee's
    recommendations, within 15 calendar days (not counting any day on
    which that House is not in session) beginning with the day
    following the day on which it is so referred. If the Committee on
    Appropriations of either House fails to report a bill or resolution
    referred to it under this paragraph within such 15-day period, the
    committee shall automatically be discharged from further
    consideration of such bill or resolution and such bill or
    resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar.
      (3) The Committee on Appropriations of each House shall have
    jurisdiction to report any bill or resolution referred to it under
    paragraph (2) with an amendment which limits the total amount of
    new spending authority provided in such bill or resolution.
    (c) Exceptions
      (1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not apply to

      (as in effect on July 12, 1974) [42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.]; or
        (B) from any other trust fund, 90 percent or more of the
      receipts of which consist or will consist of amounts (transferred
      from the general fund of the Treasury) equivalent to amounts of
      taxes (related to the purposes for which such outlays are or will
      be made) received in the Treasury under specified provisions of
      the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.].

      (2) Subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not apply to
    new authority described in those subsections to the extent that - 
        (A) the outlays resulting therefrom are made by an organization
      which is (i) a mixed-ownership Government corporation (as defined
      in section 9101(2) of title 31), or (ii) a wholly owned
      Government corporation (as defined in section 9101(3) of title
      31) which is specifically exempted by law from compliance with
      any or all of the provisions of chapter 91 of title 31, as of
      December 12, 1985; or
        (B) the outlays resulting therefrom consist exclusively of the
      proceeds of gifts or bequests made to the United States for a
      specific purpose.

      (2) Other publication of statement of Director
        If the statement is not published in the report, or if the bill
      or joint resolution to which the statement relates is expected to
      be considered by the Senate or the House of Representatives

      resolutions other than appropriations bills and joint resolutions

-STATUTE-
    (a) Federal intergovernmental mandates in reported bills and
      resolutions
      For each bill or joint resolution of a public character reported
    by any committee of authorization of the Senate or the House of
    Representatives, the Director of the Congressional Budget Office
    shall prepare and submit to the committee a statement as follows:
      (1) Contents
        If the Director estimates that the direct cost of all Federal
      intergovernmental mandates in the bill or joint resolution will
      equal or exceed $50,000,000 (adjusted annually for inflation) in
      the fiscal year in which any Federal intergovernmental mandate in
      the bill or joint resolution (or in any necessary implementing
      regulation) would first be effective or in any of the 4 fiscal
      years following such fiscal year, the Director shall so state,
      specify the estimate, and briefly explain the basis of the
      estimate.
      (2) Estimates
        Estimates required under paragraph (1) shall include estimates
      (and brief explanations of the basis of the estimates) of - 
          (A) the total amount of direct cost of complying with the
        Federal intergovernmental mandates in the bill or joint
        resolution;
          (B) if the bill or resolution contains an authorization of
        appropriations under section 658d(a)(2)(B) of this title, the
        amount of new budget authority for each fiscal year for a
        period not to exceed 10 years beyond the effective date
        necessary for the direct cost of the intergovernmental mandate;
        and
          (C) the amount, if any, of increase in authorization of
        appropriations under existing Federal financial assistance
        programs, or of authorization of appropriations for new Federal
        financial assistance, provided by the bill or joint resolution
        and usable by State, local, or tribal governments for
        activities subject to the Federal intergovernmental mandates.
      (3) Additional flexibility information
        The Director shall include in the statement submitted under
      this subsection, in the case of legislation that makes changes as
      described in section 658(5)(B)(i)(II) of this title - 
          (A) if no additional flexibility is provided in the
        legislation, a description of whether and how the States can
        offset the reduction under existing law; or
          (B) if additional flexibility is provided in the legislation,
        whether the resulting savings would offset the reductions in
        that program assuming the States fully implement that
        additional flexibility.
      (4) Estimate not feasible
        If the Director determines that it is not feasible to make a
      reasonable estimate that would be required under paragraphs (1)
      and (2), the Director shall not make the estimate, but shall
      report in the statement that the reasonable estimate cannot be
      made and shall include the reasons for that determination in the
      statement. If such determination is made by the Director, a point
      of order under this part shall lie only under section 658d(a)(1)
      of this title and as if the requirement of section 658d(a)(1) of
      this title had not been met.
    (b) Federal private sector mandates in reported bills and joint
      resolutions
      For each bill or joint resolution of a public character reported
    by any committee of authorization of the Senate or the House of
    Representatives, the Director of the Congressional Budget Office
    shall prepare and submit to the committee a statement as follows:
      (1) Contents
        If the Director estimates that the direct cost of all Federal
      private sector mandates in the bill or joint resolution will
      equal or exceed $100,000,000 (adjusted annually for inflation) in
      the fiscal year in which any Federal private sector mandate in
      the bill or joint resolution (or in any necessary implementing
      regulation) would first be effective or in any of the 4 fiscal
      years following such fiscal year, the Director shall so state,
      specify the estimate, and briefly explain the basis of the
      estimate.
      (2) Estimates
        Estimates required under paragraph (1) shall include estimates
      (and a brief explanation of the basis of the estimates) of - 
          (A) the total amount of direct costs of complying with the
        Federal private sector mandates in the bill or joint
        resolution; and
          (B) the amount, if any, of increase in authorization of
        appropriations under existing Federal financial assistance
        programs, or of authorization of appropriations for new Federal
        financial assistance, provided by the bill or joint resolution
        usable by the private sector for the activities subject to the
        Federal private sector mandates.
      (3) Estimate not feasible
        If the Director determines that it is not feasible to make a
      reasonable estimate that would be required under paragraphs (1)
      and (2), the Director shall not make the estimate, but shall
      report in the statement that the reasonable estimate cannot be
      made and shall include the reasons for that determination in the
      statement.
    (c) Legislation falling below direct costs thresholds
      If the Director estimates that the direct costs of a Federal
    mandate will not equal or exceed the thresholds specified in
    subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the Director shall so
    state and shall briefly explain the basis of the estimate.
    (d) Amended bills and joint resolutions; conference reports
      If a bill or joint resolution is passed in an amended form
    (including if passed by one House as an amendment in the nature of
    a substitute for the text of a bill or joint resolution from the
    other House) or is reported by a committee of conference in amended
    form, and the amended form contains a Federal mandate not
    previously considered by either House or which contains an increase
    in the direct cost of a previously considered Federal mandate, then
    the committee of conference shall ensure, to the greatest extent
    practicable, that the Director shall prepare a statement as
    provided in this subsection or a supplemental statement for the
    bill or joint resolution in that amended form.

    (a) In general
      It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of
    Representatives to consider - 
        (1) any bill or joint resolution that is reported by a
      committee unless the committee has published a statement of the
      Director on the direct costs of Federal mandates in accordance
      with section 658b(f) of this title before such consideration,

      intergovernmental mandates by an amount that causes the
      thresholds specified in section 658c(a)(1) of this title to be

        the direct costs of such mandate; or
          (B) the bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or
        conference report includes an authorization for appropriations
        in an amount equal to or exceeding the direct costs of such
        mandate, and - 
            (i) identifies a specific dollar amount of the direct costs
          of such mandate for each year up to 10 years during which
          such mandate shall be in effect under the bill, joint
          resolution, amendment, motion or conference report, and such
          estimate is consistent with the estimate determined under
          subsection (e) of this section for each fiscal year;
            (ii) identifies any appropriation bill that is expected to
          provide for Federal funding of the direct cost referred to
          under clause (i); and
            (iii)(I) provides that for any fiscal year the responsible
          Federal agency shall determine whether there are insufficient
          appropriations for that fiscal year to provide for the direct
          costs under clause (i) of such mandate, and shall (no later
          than 30 days after the beginning of the fiscal year) notify
          the appropriate authorizing committees of Congress of the
          determination and submit either - 
              (aa) a statement that the agency has determined, based on
            a re-estimate of the direct costs of such mandate, after
            consultation with State, local, and tribal governments,
            that the amount appropriated is sufficient to pay for the
            direct costs of such mandate; or
              (bb) legislative recommendations for either implementing
            a less costly mandate or making such mandate ineffective
            for the fiscal year;

            (II) provides for expedited procedures for the
          consideration of the statement or legislative recommendations
          referred to in subclause (I) by Congress no later than 30
          days after the statement or recommendations are submitted to
          Congress; and
            (III) provides that such mandate shall - 
              (aa) in the case of a statement referred to in subclause
            (I)(aa), cease to be effective 60 days after the statement
            is submitted unless Congress has approved the agency's
            determination by joint resolution during the 60-day period;
              (bb) cease to be effective 60 days after the date the
            legislative recommendations of the responsible Federal
            agency are submitted to Congress under subclause (I)(bb)
            unless Congress provides otherwise by law; or
              (cc) in the case that such mandate that has not yet taken
            effect, continue not to be effective unless Congress
            provides otherwise by law.
    (b) Rule of construction
      The provisions of subsection (a)(2)(B)(iii) of this section shall
    not be construed to prohibit or otherwise restrict a State, local,
    or tribal government from voluntarily electing to remain subject to
    the original Federal intergovernmental mandate, complying with the
    programmatic or financial responsibilities of the original Federal
    intergovernmental mandate and providing the funding necessary
    consistent with the costs of Federal agency assistance, monitoring,
    and enforcement.
    (c) Committee on Appropriations
      (1) Application
        The provisions of subsection (a) of this section - 
          (A) shall not apply to any bill or resolution reported by the

          in disagreement between the two Houses to any bill or
          resolution reported by the Committee on Appropriations of the
          Senate or House of Representatives.
      (2) Certain provisions stricken in Senate
        Upon a point of order being made by any Senator against any
      provision listed in paragraph (1)(B), and the point of order
      being sustained by the Chair, such specific provision shall be
      deemed stricken from the bill, resolution, amendment, amendment
      in disagreement, or conference report and may not be offered as
      an amendment from the floor.

    (a) In general
      This part applies to any bill, joint resolution, amendment,
    motion, or conference report that reauthorizes appropriations, or
    that amends existing authorizations of appropriations, to carry out
    any statute, or that otherwise amends any statute, only if
    enactment of the bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or
    conference report - 
        (1) would result in a net reduction in or elimination of
      authorization of appropriations for Federal financial assistance
      that would be provided to State, local, or tribal governments for
      use for the purpose of complying with any Federal
      intergovernmental mandate, or to the private sector for use to
      comply with any Federal private sector mandate, and would not
      eliminate or reduce duties established by the Federal mandate by
      a corresponding amount; or
        (2) would result in a net increase in the aggregate amount of
      direct costs of Federal intergovernmental mandates or Federal
      private sector mandates other than as described in paragraph (1).
    (b) Direct costs
      (1) In general
        For purposes of this part, the direct cost of the Federal
      mandates in a bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or
      conference report that reauthorizes appropriations, or that
      amends existing authorizations of appropriations, to carry out a
      statute, or that otherwise amends any statute, means the net
      increase, resulting from enactment of the bill, joint resolution,
      amendment, motion, or conference report, in the amount described
      under paragraph (2)(A) over the amount described under paragraph
      (2)(B).
      (2) Amounts
        The amounts referred to under paragraph (1) are - 
          (A) the aggregate amount of direct costs of Federal mandates
        that would result under the statute if the bill, joint
        resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report is enacted;
        and
          (B) the aggregate amount of direct costs of Federal mandates
        that would result under the statute if the bill, joint
        resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report were not
        enacted.
      (3) Extension of authorization of appropriations
        For purposes of this section, in the case of legislation to
      extend authorization of appropriations, the authorization level
      that would be provided by the extension shall be compared to the
      authorization level for the last year in which authorization of
      appropriations is already provided.

      For purposes of this subchapter - 
        (1) The term "direct loan" means a disbursement of funds by the
      Government to a non-Federal borrower under a contract that
      requires the repayment of such funds with or without interest.
      The term includes the purchase of, or participation in, a loan
      made by another lender and financing arrangements that defer
      payment for more than 90 days, including the sale of a government
      (!1) asset on credit terms. The term does not include the
      acquisition of a federally guaranteed loan in satisfaction of
      default claims or the price support loans of the Commodity Credit
      Corporation.

        (2) The term "direct loan obligation" means a binding agreement
      by a Federal agency to make a direct loan when specified
      conditions are fulfilled by the borrower.
        (3) The term "loan guarantee" means any guarantee, insurance,
      or other pledge with respect to the payment of all or a part of
      the principal or interest on any debt obligation of a non-Federal
      borrower to a non-Federal lender, but does not include the
      insurance of deposits, shares, or other withdrawable accounts in
      financial institutions.
        (4) The term "loan guarantee commitment" means a binding
      agreement by a Federal agency to make a loan guarantee when
      specified conditions are fulfilled by the borrower, the lender,
      or any other party to the guarantee agreement.
        (5)(A) The term "cost" means the estimated long-term cost to
      the Government of a direct loan or loan guarantee or modification
      thereof, calculated on a net present value basis, excluding
      administrative costs and any incidental effects on governmental
      receipts or outlays.
        (B) The cost of a direct loan shall be the net present value,
      at the time when the direct loan is disbursed, of the following
      estimated cash flows:
          (i) loan disbursements;
          (ii) repayments of principal; and
          (iii) payments of interest and other payments by or to the
        Government over the life of the loan after adjusting for
        estimated defaults, prepayments, fees, penalties, and other
        recoveries;

      including the effects of changes in loan terms resulting from the
      exercise by the borrower of an option included in the loan
      contract.
        (C) The cost of a loan guarantee shall be the net present
      value, at the time when the guaranteed loan is disbursed, of the
      following estimated cash flows:
          (i) payments by the Government to cover defaults and
        delinquencies, interest subsidies, or other payments; and
          (ii) payments to the Government including origination and
        other fees, penalties and recoveries;

      including the effects of changes in loan terms resulting from the
      exercise by the guaranteed lender of an option included in the
      loan guarantee contract, or by the borrower of an option included
      in the guaranteed loan contract.
        (D) The cost of a modification is the difference between the
      current estimate of the net present value of the remaining cash
      flows under the terms of a direct loan or loan guarantee
      contract, and the current estimate of the net present value of
      the remaining cash flows under the terms of the contract, as
      modified.
        (E) In estimating net present values, the discount rate shall
      be the average interest rate on marketable Treasury securities of
      similar maturity to the cash flows of the direct loan or loan
      guarantee for which the estimate is being made.
        (F) When funds are obligated for a direct loan or loan
      guarantee, the estimated cost shall be based on the current
      assumptions, adjusted to incorporate the terms of the loan
      contract, for the fiscal year in which the funds are obligated.
        (6) The term "credit program account" means the budget account
      into which an appropriation to cover the cost of a direct loan or
      loan guarantee program is made and from which such cost is
      disbursed to the financing account.
        (7) The term "financing account" means the non-budget account
      or accounts associated with each credit program account which
      holds balances, receives the cost payment from the credit program
      account, and also includes all other cash flows to and from the
      Government resulting from direct loan obligations or loan
      guarantee commitments made on or after October 1, 1991.

      that includes all cash flows to and from the Government resulting
      from direct loan obligations or loan guarantee commitments made
      prior to October 1, 1991.

      These accounts shall be shown in the budget on a cash basis.
        (9) The term "modification" means any Government action that
      alters the estimated cost of an outstanding direct loan (or
      direct loan obligation) or an outstanding loan guarantee (or loan
      guarantee commitment) from the current estimate of cash flows.
      This includes the sale of loan assets, with or without recourse,
      and the purchase of guaranteed loans. This also includes any
      action resulting from new legislation, or from the exercise of
      administrative discretion under existing law, that directly or
      indirectly alters the estimated cost of outstanding direct loans
      (or direct loan obligations) or loan guarantees (or loan
      guarantee commitments) such as a change in collection procedures.
        (10) The term "current" has the same meaning as in section
      900(c)(9) of this title.
        (11) The term "Director" means the Director of the Office of
      Management and Budget.

      (1) The authority to incur new direct loan obligations, make new
    loan guarantee commitments, or modify outstanding direct loans (or
    direct loan obligations) or loan guarantees (or loan guarantee
    commitments) shall constitute new budget authority in an amount
    equal to the cost of the direct loan or loan guarantee in the
    fiscal year in which definite authority becomes available or
    indefinite authority is used. Such budget authority shall
    constitute an obligation of the credit program account to pay to
    the financing account.
      (2) The outlays resulting from new budget authority for the cost
    of direct loans or loan guarantees described in paragraph (1) shall
    be paid from the credit program account into the financing account
    and recorded in the fiscal year in which the direct loan or the
    guaranteed loan is disbursed or its costs altered.
      (3) All collections and payments of the financing accounts shall
    be a means of financing.
    (e) Modifications
      An outstanding direct loan (or direct loan obligation) or loan
    guarantee (or loan guarantee commitment) shall not be modified in a
    manner that increases its costs unless budget authority for the
    additional cost has been provided in advance in an appropriations
    Act.
    (f) Reestimates
      When the estimated cost for a group of direct loans or loan
    guarantees for a given credit program made in a single fiscal year
    is reestimated in a subsequent year, the difference between the
    reestimated cost and the previous cost estimate shall be displayed
    as a distinct and separately identified subaccount in the credit
    program account as a change in program costs and a change in net
    interest. There is hereby provided permanent indefinite authority
    for these reestimates.
    (g) Administrative expenses
      All funding for an agency's administration of a direct loan or
    loan guarantee program shall be displayed as distinct and
    separately identified subaccounts within the same budget account as
    the program's cost.

-STATUTE-
    (a) Authorization of appropriations for costs
      There are authorized to be appropriated to each Federal agency

    commitments, such sums as may be necessary to pay the cost
    associated with such direct loan obligations or loan guarantee
    commitments.
    (b) Authorization for financing accounts
      In order to implement the accounting required by this subchapter,
    the President is authorized to establish such non-budgetary
    accounts as may be appropriate.
    (c) Treasury transactions with financing accounts
      The Secretary of the Treasury shall borrow from, receive from,
    lend to, or pay to the financing accounts such amounts as may be
    appropriate. The Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe forms and
    denominations, maturities, and terms and conditions for the
    transactions described above, except that the rate of interest
    charged by the Secretary on lending to financing accounts
    (including amounts treated as lending to financing accounts by the
    Federal Financing Bank (hereinafter in this subsection referred to
    as the "Bank") pursuant to section 655(b) (!1) of this title) and
    the rate of interest paid to financing accounts on uninvested
    balances in financing accounts shall be the same as the rate
    determined pursuant to section 661a(5)(E) of this title. For
    guaranteed loans financed by the Bank and treated as direct loans
    by a Federal agency pursuant to section 655(b) (!1) of this title,
    any fee or interest surcharge (the amount by which the interest
    rate charged exceeds the rate determined pursuant to section
    661a(5)(E) of this title) that the Bank charges to a private
    borrower pursuant to section 2285(c) of title 12 shall be
    considered a cash flow to the Government for the purposes of
    determining the cost of the direct loan pursuant to section 661a(5)
    of this title. All such amounts shall be credited to the
    appropriate financing account. The Bank is authorized to require
    reimbursement from a Federal agency to cover the administrative
    expenses of the Bank that are attributable to the direct loans
    financed for that agency. All such payments by an agency shall be
    considered administrative expenses subject to section 661c(g) of
    this title. This subsection shall apply to transactions related to
    direct loan obligations or loan guarantee commitments made on or
    after October 1, 1991. The authorities described above shall not be
    construed to supersede or override the authority of the head of a
    Federal agency to administer and operate a direct loan or loan
    guarantee program. All of the transactions provided in this
    subsection shall be subject to the provisions of subchapter II of
    chapter 15 of title 31. Cash balances of the financing accounts in
    excess of current requirements shall be maintained in a form of
    uninvested funds and the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay
    interest on these funds.

    (d) Authorization for liquidating accounts
      (1) Amounts in liquidating accounts shall be available only for
    payments resulting from direct loan obligations or loan guarantee
    commitments made prior to October 1, 1991, for - 
        (A) interest payments and principal repayments to the Treasury
      or the Federal Financing Bank for amounts borrowed;
        (B) disbursements of loans;
        (C) default and other guarantee claim payments;
        (D) interest supplement payments;
        (E) payments for the costs of foreclosing, managing, and
      selling collateral that are capitalized or routinely deducted
      from the proceeds of sales;
        (F) payments to financing accounts when required for
      modifications;
        (G) administrative expenses, if - 
          (i) amounts credited to the liquidating account would have
        been available for administrative expenses under a provision of
        law in effect prior to October 1, 1991; and
          (ii) no direct loan obligation or loan guarantee commitment
        has been made, or any modification of a direct loan or loan
        guarantee has been made, since September 30, 1991; or

        (H) such other payments as are necessary for the liquidation of
      such direct loan obligations and loan guarantee commitments.

      (2) Amounts credited to liquidating accounts in any year shall be
    available only for payments required in that year. Any unobligated
    balances in liquidating accounts at the end of a fiscal year shall
    be transferred to miscellaneous receipts as soon as practicable
    after the end of the fiscal year.
      (3) If funds in liquidating accounts are insufficient to satisfy
    obligations and commitments of such accounts, there is hereby
    provided permanent, indefinite authority to make any payments
    required to be made on such obligations and commitments.
    (e) Authorization of appropriations for implementation expenses
      There are authorized to be appropriated to existing accounts such
    sums as may be necessary for salaries and expenses to carry out the
    responsibilities under this subchapter.
    (f) Reinsurance
      Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as authorizing or
    requiring the purchase of insurance or reinsurance on a direct loan
    or loan guarantee from private insurers. If any such reinsurance
    for a direct loan or loan guarantee is authorized, the cost of such
    insurance and any recoveries to the Government shall be included in
    the calculation of the cost.
    (g) Eligibility and assistance
      Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to change the
    authority or the responsibility of a Federal agency to determine
    the terms and conditions of eligibility for, or the amount of
    assistance provided by a direct loan or a loan guarantee.

          (A) withholding or delaying the obligation or expenditure of
        budget authority (whether by establishing reserves or
        otherwise) provided for projects or activities; or
          (B) any other type of Executive action or inaction which
        effectively precludes the obligation or expenditure of budget
        authority, including authority to obligate by contract in
        advance of appropriations as specifically authorized by law;

        (2) "Comptroller General" means the Comptroller General of the
      United States;
        (3) "rescission bill" means a bill or joint resolution which
      only rescinds, in whole or in part, budget authority proposed to
      be rescinded in a special message transmitted by the President
      under section 683 of this title, and upon which the Congress
      completes action before the end of the first period of 45
      calendar days of continuous session of the Congress after the
      date on which the President's message is received by the
      Congress;
        (4) "impoundment resolution" means a resolution of the House of
      Representatives or the Senate which only expresses its
      disapproval of a proposed deferral of budget authority set forth
      in a special message transmitted by the President under section

      calendar days of continuous session (or a special message is so
      transmitted after the last session of the Congress adjourns sine
      die), the message shall be deemed to have been retransmitted on
      the first day of the succeeding Congress and the 45-day period
      referred to in paragraph (3) of this section and in section 683
      of this title (with respect to such message) shall commence on

    States, or any officer or employee of the United States proposes to
    defer any budget authority provided for a specific purpose or
    project, the President shall transmit to the House of
    Representatives and the Senate a special message specifying - 
        (1) the amount of the budget authority proposed to be deferred;
        (2) any account, department, or establishment of the Government
      to which such budget authority is available for obligation, and

        (3) the period of time during which the budget authority is
      proposed to be deferred;
        (4) the reasons for the proposed deferral, including any legal
      authority invoked to justify the proposed deferral;
        (5) to the maximum extent practicable, the estimated fiscal,

      proposed deferral, including an analysis of such facts,
      circumstances, and considerations in terms of their application

-STATUTE-
    (a) Failure to transmit special message
      If the Comptroller General finds that the President, the Director
    of the Office of Management and Budget, the head of any department
    or agency of the United States, or any other officer or employee of
    the United States - 
        (1) is to establish a reserve or proposes to defer budget
      authority with respect to which the President is required to
      transmit a special message under section 683 or 684 of this
      title; or
        (2) has ordered, permitted, or approved the establishment of
      such a reserve or a deferral of budget authority;

    and that the President has failed to transmit a special message
    with respect to such reserve or deferral, the Comptroller General
    shall make a report on such reserve or deferral and any available
    information concerning it to both Houses of Congress. The
    provisions of sections 682 to 688 of this title shall apply with
    respect to such reserve or deferral in the same manner and with the
    same effect as if such report of the Comptroller General were a
    special message transmitted by the President under section 683 or
    684 of this title, and, for purposes of sections 682 to 688 of this
    title, such report shall be considered a special message
    transmitted under section 683 or 684 of this title.
    (b) Incorrect classification of special message
      If the President has transmitted a special message to both Houses
    of Congress in accordance with section 683 or 684 of this title,
    and the Comptroller General believes that the President so
    transmitted the special message in accordance with one of those
    sections when the special message should have been transmitted in
    accordance with the other of those sections, the Comptroller
    General shall make a report to both Houses of the Congress setting
    forth his reasons.

-HEAD-
    Sec. 688. Procedure in House of Representatives and Senate

-STATUTE-
    (a) Referral
      Any rescission bill introduced with respect to a special message
    or impoundment resolution introduced with respect to a proposed
    deferral of budget authority shall be referred to the appropriate
    committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate, as the
    case may be.
    (b) Discharge of committee
      (1) If the committee to which a rescission bill or impoundment
    resolution has been referred has not reported it at the end of 25
    calendar days of continuous session of the Congress after its
    introduction, it is in order to move either to discharge the
    committee from further consideration of the bill or resolution or
    to discharge the committee from further consideration of any other
    rescission bill with respect to the same special message or
    impoundment resolution with respect to the same proposed deferral,
    as the case may be, which has been referred to the committee.
      (2) A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual
    favoring the bill or resolution, may be made only if supported by
    one-fifth of the Members of the House involved (a quorum being
    present), and is highly privileged in the House and privileged in
    the Senate (except that it may not be made after the committee has
    reported a bill or resolution with respect to the same special
    message or the same proposed deferral, as the case may be); and
    debate thereon shall be limited to not more than 1 hour, the time
    to be divided in the House equally between those favoring and those
    opposing the bill or resolution, and to be divided in the Senate
    equally between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the
    minority leader or their designees. An amendment to the motion is
    not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote
    by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.
    (c) Floor consideration in House
      (1) When the committee of the House of Representatives has
    reported, or has been discharged from further consideration of, a
    rescission bill or impoundment resolution, it shall at any time
    thereafter be in order (even though a previous motion to the same
    effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the
    consideration of the bill or resolution. The motion shall be highly
    privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not
    be in order, nor shall it be in order to move to reconsider the
    vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.
      (2) Debate on a rescission bill or impoundment resolution shall
    be limited to not more than 2 hours, which shall be divided equally
    between those favoring and those opposing the bill or resolution. A
    motion further to limit debate shall not be debatable. In the case
    of an impoundment resolution, no amendment to, or motion to
    recommit, the resolution shall be in order. It shall not be in
    order to move to reconsider the vote by which a rescission bill or
    impoundment resolution is agreed to or disagreed to.
      (3) Motions to postpone, made with respect to the consideration
    of a rescission bill or impoundment resolution, and motions to
    proceed to the consideration of other business, shall be decided
    without debate.
      (4) All appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to the
    procedure relating to any rescission bill or impoundment resolution
    shall be decided without debate.
      (5) Except to the extent specifically provided in the preceding
    provisions of this subsection, consideration of any rescission bill
    or impoundment resolution and amendments thereto (or any conference
    report thereon) shall be governed by the Rules of the House of
    Representatives applicable to other bills and resolutions,
    amendments, and conference reports in similar circumstances.
    (d) Floor consideration in Senate
      (1) Debate in the Senate on any rescission bill or impoundment
    resolution, and all amendments thereto (in the case of a rescission
    bill) and debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith,
    shall be limited to not more than 10 hours. The time shall be
    equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and
    the minority leader or their designees.
      (2) Debate in the Senate on any amendment to a rescission bill
    shall be limited to 2 hours, to be equally divided between, and
    controlled by, the mover and the manager of the bill. Debate on any
    amendment to an amendment, to such a bill, and debate on any
    debatable motion or appeal in connection with such a bill or an
    impoundment resolution shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally
    divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of
    the bill or resolution, except that in the event the manager of the
    bill or resolution is in favor of any such amendment, motion, or
    appeal, the time in opposition thereto, shall be controlled by the
    minority leader or his designee. No amendment that is not germane
    to the provisions of a rescission bill shall be received. Such
    leaders, or either of them, may, from the time under their control
    on the passage of a rescission bill or impoundment resolution,
    allot additional time to any Senator during the consideration of
    any amendment, debatable motion, or appeal.
      (3) A motion to further limit debate is not debatable. In the
    case of a rescission bill, a motion to recommit (except a motion to
    recommit with instructions to report back within a specified number
    of days, not to exceed 3, not counting any day on which the Senate
    is not in session) is not in order. Debate on any such motion to
    recommit shall be limited to one hour, to be equally divided
    between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the
    concurrent resolution. In the case of an impoundment resolution, no
    amendment or motion to recommit is in order.
      (4) The conference report on any rescission bill shall be in
    order in the Senate at any time after the third day (excluding
    Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) following the day on which
    such a conference report is reported and is available to Members of
    the Senate. A motion to proceed to the consideration of the
    conference report may be made even though a previous motion to the
    same effect has been disagreed to.
      (5) During the consideration in the Senate of the conference
    report on any rescission bill, debate shall be limited to 2 hours
    to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority
    leader and minority leader or their designees. Debate on any
    debatable motion or appeal related to the conference report shall
    be limited to 30 minutes, to be equally divided between, and
    controlled by, the mover and the manager of the conference report.
      (6) Should the conference report be defeated, debate on any
    request for a new conference and the appointment of conferees shall
    be limited to one hour, to be equally divided between, and
    controlled by, the manager of the conference report and the
    minority leader or his designee, and should any motion be made to
    instruct the conferees before the conferees are named, debate on
    such motion shall be limited to 30 minutes, to be equally divided
    between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the
    conference report. Debate on any amendment to any such instructions
    shall be limited to 20 minutes, to be equally divided between, and
    controlled by, the mover and the manager of the conference report.
    In all cases when the manager of the conference report is in favor
    of any motion, appeal, or amendment, the time in opposition shall
    be under the control of the minority leader or his designee.
      (7) In any case in which there are amendments in disagreement,
    time on each amendment shall be limited to 30 minutes, to be
    equally divided between, and controlled by, the manager of the
    conference report and the minority leader or his designee. No
    amendment that is not germane to the provisions of such amendments
    shall be received.

    Sec. 811. Findings

-STATUTE-
      Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Arts literacy is a fundamental purpose of schooling for all
      students.
        (2) Arts education stimulates, develops, and refines many
      cognitive and creative skills, critical thinking and nimbleness
      in judgment, creativity and imagination, cooperative
      decisionmaking, leadership, high-level literacy and
      communication, and the capacity for problem-posing and problem-
      solving.
        (3) Arts education contributes significantly to the creation of
      flexible, adaptable, and knowledgeable workers who will be needed
      in the 21st century economy.
        (4) Arts education improves teaching and learning.
        (5) Where parents and families, artists, arts organizations,
      businesses, local civic and cultural leaders, and institutions
      are actively engaged in instructional programs, arts education is
      more successful.
        (6) Effective teachers of the arts should be encouraged to
      continue to learn and grow in mastery of their art form as well
      as in their teaching competence.
        (7) The 1999 study, entitled "Gaining the Arts Advantage:
      Lessons from School Districts that Value Arts Education", found
      that the literacy, education, programs, learning and growth
      described in paragraphs (1) through (6) contribute to successful
      districtwide arts education.
        (8) Despite all of the literacy, education, programs, learning
      and growth findings described in paragraphs (1) through (6), the
      1997 National Assessment of Educational Progress reported that
      students lack sufficient opportunity for participatory learning
      in the arts.
        (9) The Arts Education Partnership, a coalition of national and
      State education, arts, business, and civic groups, is an
      excellent example of one organization that has demonstrated its
      effectiveness in addressing the purposes described in section
      814(a) of this title and the capacity and credibility to
      administer arts education programs of national significance.

-EXEC-

                EX. ORD. NO. 12858. DEFICIT REDUCTION FUND            
      Ex. Ord. No. 12858, Aug. 4, 1993, 58 F.R. 42185, provided:
      By the authority vested in me as President of the United States
    by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America,
    including sections 1104 and 1105 of title 31, United States Code,
    it is hereby ordered as follows:
      Section 1. Purpose. It is essential to guarantee that the net
    deficit reduction achieved by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
    of 1993 [Pub. L. 103-66, see Tables for classification] is
    dedicated exclusively to reducing the deficit.
      Sec. 2. Deficit Reduction Fund.
      (a) Establishment of the Fund. There is established a separate
    account in the Treasury, known as the Deficit Reduction Fund, which
    shall receive the net deficit reduction achieved by the Omnibus
    Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 [Pub. L. 103-66, see Tables for
    classification] as called for in subsection (b) of this order.
      (b) Amounts in Fund. Beginning upon enactment of the Omnibus
    Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 [Aug. 10, 1993], the Deficit
    Reduction Fund shall receive any increases in total revenues
    resulting from enactment of such Act on a daily basis. In addition,
    on a daily basis, the Secretary of the Treasury shall enter into
    such account an amount equivalent to the net deficit reduction
    achieved as a result of all spending reductions resulting from such
    Act. The cumulative fiscal year amounts for the combination of all
    such revenue increases and spending reductions shall be equal to:
        (1) for fiscal year 1994, $60,292,000,000;
        (2) for fiscal year 1995, $70,437,000,000;
        (3) for fiscal year 1996, $92,061,000,000;
        (4) for fiscal year 1997, $125,881,000,000;
        (5) for fiscal year 1998, $146,939,000,000.
    Within 30 days of enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
    Act of 1993, the foregoing amounts may be adjusted by the Director
    of the Office of Management and Budget to reflect the final scoring
    of such Act.
      (c) Status of Amounts in Fund. (i) The amounts in the Deficit
    Reduction Fund shall be used exclusively to redeem maturing debt
    obligations of the Treasury of the United States held by foreign
    governments in the amounts specified in subsection (b).
      (ii) The amounts in the Deficit Reduction Fund as set forth in
    subsection (b) that result from increases in total revenues and
    spending reductions shall not be available for new spending or to
    finance measures that increase the deficit for purposes of budget
    enforcement procedures under the Balanced Budget and Emergency
    Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 901-922 [900-922]).
      (d) Effect on Other Funds. Establishment of and transfers to the
    Deficit Reduction Fund shall not affect trust fund transfers that
    may be authorized or required by provisions of the Omnibus
    Reconciliation Act of 1993 or any other provision of law.
      Sec. 3. Requirement for the President To Report Annually on the
    Status of the Fund. The Director of the Office of Management and
    Budget shall include in the President's Budget transmitted under
    section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, information about the
    Deficit Reduction Fund, including a separate statement of amounts
    in and Federal debt redeemed by that Fund.
      Sec. 4. Implementation. The Secretary of the Treasury and the
    Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall each take
    such actions as may be necessary, within their respective
    authorities, promptly to carry out this order.
      Sec. 5. Effective Date. This order shall take effect upon
    enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 [Aug.
    10, 1993].
                                                     William J. Clinton.

-HEAD-
    Sec. 901. Enforcing discretionary spending limits

-STATUTE-
    (a) Enforcement
      (1) Sequestration
        Within 15 calendar days after Congress adjourns to end a
      session and on the same day as a sequestration (if any) under
      section 902 of this title and section 903 of this title, there
      shall be a sequestration to eliminate a budget-year breach, if
      any, within any category.
      (2) Eliminating a breach
        Each non-exempt account within a category shall be reduced by a
      dollar amount calculated by multiplying the baseline level of
      sequestrable budgetary resources in that account at that time by
      the uniform percentage necessary to eliminate a breach within
      that category; except that the health programs set forth in
      section 906(e) of this title shall not be reduced by more than 2
      percent and the uniform percent applicable to all other programs
      under this paragraph shall be increased (if necessary) to a level
      sufficient to eliminate that breach. If, within a category, the
      discretionary spending limits for both new budget authority and
      outlays are breached, the uniform percentage shall be calculated
      by - 
          (A) first, calculating the uniform percentage necessary to
        eliminate the breach in new budget authority, and
          (B) second, if any breach in outlays remains, increasing the
        uniform percentage to a level sufficient to eliminate that
        breach.
      (3) Military personnel
        If the President uses the authority to exempt any military
      personnel from sequestration under section 905(f) of this title,
      each account within subfunctional category 051 (other than those
      military personnel accounts for which the authority provided
      under section 905(f) of this title has been exercised) shall be
      further reduced by a dollar amount calculated by multiplying the
      enacted level of non-exempt budgetary resources in that account
      at that time by the uniform percentage necessary to offset the
      total dollar amount by which outlays are not reduced in military
      personnel accounts by reason of the use of such authority.
      (4) Part-year appropriations
        If, on the date specified in paragraph (1), there is in effect
      an Act making or continuing appropriations for part of a fiscal
      year for any budget account, then the dollar sequestration
      calculated for that account under paragraphs (2) and (3) shall be
      subtracted from - 
          (A) the annualized amount otherwise available by law in that
        account under that or a subsequent part-year appropriation; and
          (B) when a full-year appropriation for that account is
        enacted, from the amount otherwise provided by the full-year
        appropriation.
      (5) Look-back
        If, after June 30, an appropriation for the fiscal year in
      progress is enacted that causes a breach within a category for
      that year (after taking into account any sequestration of amounts
      within that category), the discretionary spending limits for that
      category for the next fiscal year shall be reduced by the amount
      or amounts of that breach.
      (6) Within-session sequestration
        If an appropriation for a fiscal year in progress is enacted
      (after Congress adjourns to end the session for that budget year
      and before July 1 of that fiscal year) that causes a breach
      within a category for that year (after taking into account any
      prior sequestration of amounts within that category), 15 days
      later there shall be a sequestration to eliminate that breach
      within that category following the procedures set forth in
      paragraphs (2) through (4).
      (7) Estimates
        (A) CBO estimates
          As soon as practicable after Congress completes action on any
        discretionary appropriation, CBO, after consultation with the
        Committees on the Budget of the House of Representatives and
        the Senate, shall provide OMB with an estimate of the amount of
        discretionary new budget authority and outlays for the current
        year (if any) and the budget year provided by that legislation.
        (B) OMB estimates and explanation of differences
          Not later than 7 calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays,
        and legal holidays) after the date of enactment of any
        discretionary appropriation, OMB shall transmit a report to the
        House of Representatives and to the Senate containing the CBO
        estimate of that legislation, an OMB estimate of the amount of
        discretionary new budget authority and outlays for the current
        year (if any) and the budget year provided by that legislation,
        and an explanation of any difference between the 2 estimates.
        If during the preparation of the report OMB determines that
        there is a significant difference between OMB and CBO, OMB
        shall consult with the Committees on the Budget of the House of
        Representatives and the Senate regarding that difference and
        that consultation shall include, to extent practicable, written
        communication to those committees that affords such committees
        the opportunity to comment before the issuance of the report.
        (C) Assumptions and guidelines
          OMB estimates under this paragraph shall be made using
        current economic and technical assumptions. OMB shall use the
        OMB estimates transmitted to the Congress under this paragraph.
        OMB and CBO shall prepare estimates under this paragraph in
        conformance with scorekeeping guidelines determined after
        consultation among the House and Senate Committees on the
        Budget, CBO, and OMB.
        (D) Annual appropriations
          For purposes of this paragraph, amounts provided by annual
        appropriations shall include any new budget authority and
        outlays for the current year (if any) and the budget year in
        accounts for which funding is provided in that legislation that
        result from previously enacted legislation.
    (b) Adjustments to discretionary spending limits
      (1) Preview report
        (A) Concepts and definitions. - When the President submits the
      budget under section 1105 of title 31, OMB shall calculate and
      the budget shall include adjustments to discretionary spending
      limits (and those limits as cumulatively adjusted) for the budget
      year and each outyear to reflect changes in concepts and
      definitions. Such changes shall equal the baseline levels of new
      budget authority and outlays using up-to-date concepts and
      definitions minus those levels using the concepts and definitions
      in effect before such changes. Such changes may only be made
      after consultation with the committees (!1) on Appropriations and
      the Budget of the House of Representatives and the Senate and
      that consultation shall include written communication to such
      committees that affords such committees the opportunity to
      comment before official action is taken with respect to such
      changes.

        (B) Adjustment to align highway spending with revenues. - (i)
      When the President submits the budget under section 1105 of title
      31, OMB shall calculate and the budget shall make adjustments to
      the highway category for the budget year and each outyear as
      provided in clause (ii)(I)(cc).
        (ii)(I)(aa) OMB shall take the actual level of highway receipts
      for the year before the current year and subtract the sum of the
      estimated level of highway receipts in subclause (II) plus any
      amount previously calculated under item (bb) for that year.
        (bb) OMB shall take the current estimate of highway receipts
      for the current year and subtract the estimated level of receipts
      for that year.
        (cc) OMB shall add one-half of the sum of the amount calculated
      under items (aa) and (bb) to the obligation limitations set forth
      in the section 8003 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
      Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users and, using current
      estimates, calculate the outlay change resulting from the change
      in obligations for the budget year and the first outyear and the
      outlays flowing therefrom through subsequent fiscal years. After
      making the calculations under the preceding sentence, OMB shall
      adjust the amount of obligations set forth in that section for
      the budget year and the first outyear by adding one-half of the
      sum of the amount calculated under items (aa) and (bb) to each
      such year.
        (II) The estimated level of highway receipts for the purposes
      of this clause are - 
          (aa) for fiscal year 2005, $31,562,000,000;
          (bb) for fiscal year 2006, $33,712,000,000;
          (cc) for fiscal year 2007, $34,623,000,000 (!2)

          (dd) for fiscal year 2008, $35,449,000,000; and
          (ee) for fiscal year 2009, $36,220,000,000.

        (III) In this clause, the term "highway receipts" means the
      governmental receipts credited to the highway account of the
      Highway Trust Fund.
        (C) In addition to the adjustment required by subparagraph (B),
      when the President submits the budget under section 1105 of title
      31 for fiscal year 2007, 2008, or 2009, OMB shall calculate and
      the budget shall include for the budget year and each outyear an
      adjustment to the limits on outlays for the highway category and
      the mass transit category equal to - 
          (i) the outlays for the applicable category calculated
        assuming obligation levels consistent with the estimates
        prepared pursuant to subparagraph (D), as adjusted, using
        current technical assumptions; minus
          (ii) the outlays for the applicable category set forth in the
        subparagraph (D) estimates, as adjusted.

        (D)(i) When OMB and CBO submit their final sequester report for
      fiscal year 2006, that report shall include an estimate of the
      outlays for each of the categories that would result in fiscal
      years 2007 through 2010 from obligations at the levels specified
      in section 8003 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
      Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users using current
      assumptions.
        (ii) When the President submits the budget under section 1105
      of title 31 for fiscal year 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010, OMB shall
      adjust the estimates made in clause (i) by the adjustments by
      subparagraphs (B) and (C).
        (E) OMB shall consult with the Committees on the Budget and
      include a report on adjustments under subparagraphs (B) and (C)
      in the preview report.
      (2) Sequestration reports
        When OMB submits a sequestration report under section 904(e),
      (f), or (g) of this title for a fiscal year, OMB shall calculate,
      and the sequestration report and subsequent budgets submitted by
      the President under section 1105(a) of title 31 shall include
      adjustments to discretionary spending limits (and those limits as
      adjusted) for the fiscal year and each succeeding year, as
      follows:
        (A) Emergency appropriations
          If, for any fiscal year, appropriations for discretionary
        accounts are enacted that the President designates as emergency
        requirements and that the Congress so designates in statute,
        the adjustment shall be the total of such appropriations in
        discretionary accounts designated as emergency requirements and
        the outlays flowing in all fiscal years from such
        appropriations. This subparagraph shall not apply to
        appropriations to cover agricultural crop disaster assistance.
        (B) Special outlay allowance
          If, in any fiscal year, outlays for a category exceed the
        discretionary spending limit for that category but new budget
        authority does not exceed its limit for that category (after
        application of the first step of a sequestration described in
        subsection (a)(2) of this section, if necessary), the
        adjustment in outlays for a fiscal year is the amount of the
        excess but not to exceed 0.5 percent of the sum of the adjusted
        discretionary spending limits on outlays for that fiscal year.
        (C) Continuing disability reviews
          (i) If a bill or joint resolution making appropriations for a
        fiscal year is enacted that specifies an amount for continuing
        disability reviews under the heading "Limitation on
        Administrative Expenses" for the Social Security
        Administration, the adjustments for that fiscal year shall be
        the additional new budget authority provided in that Act for
        such reviews for that fiscal year and the additional outlays
        flowing from such amounts, but shall not exceed - 
            (I) for fiscal year 1998, $290,000,000 in additional new
          budget authority and $338,000,000 in additional outlays;
            (II) for fiscal year 1999, $520,000,000 in additional new

          budget authority and $520,000,000 in additional outlays.

          (ii) As used in this subparagraph - 
            (I) the term "continuing disability reviews" means reviews
          or redeterminations as defined under section 401(g)(1)(A) of
          title 42 and reviews and redeterminations authorized under
          section 211 of the Personal Responsibility and Work

            (II) the term "additional new budget authority" means the
          amount provided for a fiscal year, in excess of $200,000,000,

          of continuing disability reviews under the heading
          "Limitation on Administrative Expenses" for the Social
          Security Administration; and
            (III) the term "additional outlays" means outlays, in
          excess of $200,000,000 in a fiscal year, flowing from the
          amounts specified for continuing disability reviews under the
          heading "Limitation on Administrative Expenses" for the
          Social Security Administration, including outlays in that
          fiscal year flowing from amounts specified in Acts enacted
          for prior fiscal years (but not before 1996).
        (D) Allowance for IMF
          If an appropriation bill or joint resolution is enacted for a
        fiscal year through 2002 that includes an appropriation with

    Sec. 902. Enforcing pay-as-you-go

-STATUTE-
    (a) Purpose
      The purpose of this section is to assure that any legislation
    enacted before October 1, 2002, affecting direct spending or
    receipts that increases the deficit will trigger an offsetting
    sequestration.
    (b) Sequestration
      (1) Timing
        Not later than 15 calendar days after the date Congress
      adjourns to end a session and on the same day as a sequestration
      (if any) under section 901 or 903 of this title, there shall be a
      sequestration to offset the amount of any net deficit increase
      caused by all direct spending and receipts legislation enacted
      before October 1, 2002, as calculated under paragraph (2).
      (2) Calculation of deficit increase
        OMB shall calculate the amount of deficit increase or decrease
      by adding - 
          (A) all OMB estimates for the budget year of direct spending
        and receipts legislation transmitted under subsection (d) of
        this section;
          (B) the estimated amount of savings in direct spending
        programs applicable to budget year resulting from the prior
        year's sequestration under this section or section 903 of this
        title, if any, as published in OMB's final sequestration report
        for that prior year; and
          (C) any net deficit increase or decrease in the current year
        resulting from all OMB estimates for the current year of direct
        spending and receipts legislation transmitted under subsection
        (d) of this section that were not reflected in the final OMB
        sequestration report for the current year.
    (c) Eliminating a deficit increase
      (1) The amount required to be sequestered in a fiscal year under
    subsection (b) of this section shall be obtained from non-exempt
    direct spending accounts from actions taken in the following order:
      (A) First
        All reductions in automatic spending increases specified in
      section 906(a) of this title shall be made.
      (B) Second
        If additional reductions in direct spending accounts are
      required to be made, the maximum reductions permissible under
      sections 906(b) of this title (guaranteed and direct student
      loans) and 906(c) of this title (foster care and adoption
      assistance) shall be made.
      (C) Third
        (i) If additional reductions in direct spending accounts are
      required to be made, each remaining non-exempt direct spending
      account shall be reduced by the uniform percentage necessary to
      make the reductions in direct spending required by paragraph (1);
      except that the medicare programs specified in section 906(d) of
      this title shall not be reduced by more than 4 percent and the
      uniform percentage applicable to all other direct spending
      programs under this paragraph shall be increased (if necessary)
      to a level sufficient to achieve the required reduction in direct
      spending.
        (ii) For purposes of determining reductions under clause (i),
      outlay reductions (as a result of sequestration of Commodity
      Credit Corporation commodity price support contracts in the
      fiscal year of a sequestration) that would occur in the following
      fiscal year shall be credited as outlay reductions in the fiscal
      year of the sequestration.

      (2) For purposes of this subsection, accounts shall be assumed to
    be at the level in the baseline.
    (d) Estimates
      (1) CBO estimates
        As soon as practicable after Congress completes action on any
      direct spending or receipts legislation, CBO shall provide an
      estimate to OMB of that legislation.
      (2) OMB estimates
        Not later than 7 calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays,
      and legal holidays) after the date of enactment of any direct
      spending or receipts legislation, OMB shall transmit a report to
      the House of Representatives and to the Senate containing - 
          (A) the CBO estimate of that legislation;
          (B) an OMB estimate of that legislation using current
        economic and technical assumptions; and
          (C) an explanation of any difference between the 2 estimates.
      (3) Significant differences
        If during the preparation of the report under paragraph (2) OMB
      determines that there is a significant difference between the OMB
      and CBO estimates, OMB shall consult with the Committees on the
      Budget of the House of Representatives and the Senate regarding
      that difference and that consultation, to the extent practicable,
      shall include written communication to such committees that
      affords such committees the opportunity to comment before the
      issuance of that report.
      (4) Scope of estimates
        The estimates under this section shall include the amount of
      change in outlays or receipts for the current year (if
      applicable), the budget year, and each outyear excluding any
      amounts resulting from - 
          (A) full funding of, and continuation of, the deposit
        insurance guarantee commitment in effect under current
        estimates; and
          (B) emergency provisions as designated under subsection (e)
        of this section.
      (5) Scorekeeping guidelines
        OMB and CBO, after consultation with each other and the
      Committees on the Budget of the House of Representatives and the
      Senate, shall - 
          (A) determine common scorekeeping guidelines; and
          (B) in conformance with such guidelines, prepare estimates
        under this section.
    (e) Emergency legislation
      If a provision of direct spending or receipts legislation is
    enacted that the President designates as an emergency requirement
    and that the Congress so designates in statute, the amounts of new
    budget authority, outlays, and receipts in all fiscal years
    resulting from that provision shall be designated as an emergency
    requirement in the reports required under subsection (d) of this
    section. This subsection shall not apply to direct spending
    provisions to cover agricultural crop disaster assistance.

    any direct spending or receipts legislation enacted after November
    5, 1990, after consultation with the Committees on the Budget of
    the House of Representatives and the Senate, CBO shall provide OMB
    with an estimate of the amount of change in outlays or receipts, as
    the case may be, in each fiscal year through fiscal year 1998

    through fiscal year 1998 resulting from that legislation, and an
    explanation of any difference between the two estimates. Those OMB
    estimates shall be made using current economic and technical
    assumptions. OMB and CBO shall prepare estimates under this
    paragraph in conformance with scorekeeping guidelines determined
    after consultation among the House and Senate Committees on the

    Sec. 903. Enforcing deficit targets

-STATUTE-
    (a) Sequestration
      Within 15 calendar days after Congress adjourns to end a session
    (other than of the One Hundred First Congress) and on the same day
    as a sequestration (if any) under section 901 of this title and
    section 902 of this title, but after any sequestration required by
    section 901 of this title (enforcing discretionary spending limits)
    or section 902 of this title (enforcing pay-as-you-go), there shall
    be a sequestration to eliminate the excess deficit (if any remains)
    if it exceeds the margin.
    (b) Excess deficit; margin
      The excess deficit is, if greater than zero, the estimated
    deficit for the budget year, minus - 
        (1) the maximum deficit amount for that year;
        (2) the amounts for that year designated as emergency direct
      spending or receipts legislation under section 902(e) of this
      title; and
        (3) for any fiscal year in which there is not a full adjustment
      for technical and economic reestimates, the deposit insurance
      reestimate for that year, if any, calculated under subsection (h)
      of this section.

    The "margin" for fiscal year 1992 or 1993 is zero and for fiscal
    year 1994 or 1995 is $15,000,000,000.
    (c) Dividing sequestration
      To eliminate the excess deficit in a budget year, half of the
    required outlay reductions shall be obtained from non-exempt
    defense accounts (accounts designated as function 050 in the
    President's fiscal year 1991 budget submission) and half from non-
    exempt, non-defense accounts (all other non-exempt accounts).
    (d) Defense
      Each non-exempt defense account shall be reduced by a dollar
    amount calculated by multiplying the level of sequestrable
    budgetary resources in that account at that time by the uniform
    percentage necessary to carry out subsection (c) of this section,
    except that, if any military personnel are exempt, adjustments
    shall be made under the procedure set forth in section 901(a)(3) of
    this title.
    (e) Non-defense
      Actions to reduce non-defense accounts shall be taken in the
    following order:
      (1) First
        All reductions in automatic spending increases under section
      906(a) of this title shall be made.
      (2) Second
        If additional reductions in non-defense accounts are required
      to be made, the maximum reduction permissible under sections
      906(b) of this title (guaranteed student loans) and 906(c) of
      this title (foster care and adoption assistance) shall be made.
      (3) Third
        (A) If additional reductions in non-defense accounts are
      required to be made, each remaining non-exempt, non-defense
      account shall be reduced by the uniform percentage necessary to
      make the reductions in non-defense outlays required by subsection
      (c) of this section, except that - 
          (i) the medicare program specified in section 906(d) of this
        title shall not be reduced by more than 2 percent in total
        including any reduction of less than 2 percent made under
        section 902 of this title or, if it has been reduced by 2
        percent or more under section 902 of this title, it may not be
        further reduced under this section; and
          (ii) the health programs set forth in section 906(e) of this
        title shall not be reduced by more than 2 percent in total
        (including any reduction made under section 901 of this title),

      and the uniform percent applicable to all other programs under
      this subsection shall be increased (if necessary) to a level
      sufficient to achieve the required reduction in non-defense
      outlays.
        (B) For purposes of determining reductions under subparagraph
      (A), outlay reduction (as a result of sequestration of Commodity
      Credit Corporation commodity price support contracts in the
      fiscal year of a sequestration) that would occur in the following
      fiscal year shall be credited as outlay reductions in the fiscal
      year of the sequestration.
    (f) Baseline assumptions; part-year appropriations
      (1) Budget assumptions
        For purposes of subsections (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this
      section, accounts shall be assumed to be at the level in the
      baseline minus any reductions required to be made under sections
      901 and 902 of this title.
      (2) Part-year appropriations
        If, on the date specified in subsection (a) of this section,
      there is in effect an Act making or continuing appropriations for
      part of a fiscal year for any non-exempt budget account, then the
      dollar sequestration calculated for that account under subsection
      (d) or (e) of this section, as applicable, shall be subtracted
      from - 
          (A) the annualized amount otherwise available by law in that
        account under that or a subsequent part-year appropriation; and
          (B) when a full-year appropriation for that account is
        enacted, from the amount otherwise provided by the full-year
        appropriation; except that the amount to be sequestered from
        that account shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the
        savings achieved by that appropriation when the enacted amount
        is less than the baseline for that account.
    (g) Adjustments to maximum deficit amounts
      (1) Adjustments
          (A) When the President submits the budget for fiscal year
        1992, the maximum deficit amounts for fiscal years 1992, 1993,
        1994, and 1995 shall be adjusted to reflect up-to-date
        reestimates of economic and technical assumptions and any
        changes in concepts or definitions. When the President submits
        the budget for fiscal year 1993, the maximum deficit amounts
        for fiscal years 1993, 1994, and 1995 shall be further adjusted
        to reflect up-to-date reestimates of economic and technical
        assumptions and any changes in concepts or definitions.
          (B) When submitting the budget for fiscal year 1994, the
        President may choose to adjust the maximum deficit amounts for
        fiscal years 1994 and 1995 to reflect up-to-date reestimates of
        economic and technical assumptions. If the President chooses to
        adjust the maximum deficit amount when submitting the fiscal
        year 1994 budget, the President may choose to invoke the same
        adjustment procedure when submitting the budget for fiscal year
        1995. In each case, the President must choose between making no
        adjustment or the full adjustment described in paragraph (2).
        If the President chooses to make that full adjustment, then
        those procedures for adjusting discretionary spending limits
        described in sections 901(b)(1)(C) (!1) and 901(b)(2)(E) (!1)
        of this title, otherwise applicable through fiscal year 1993 or
        1994 (as the case may be), shall be deemed to apply for fiscal
        year 1994 (and 1995 if applicable).

          (C) When the budget for fiscal year 1994 or 1995 is submitted
        and the sequestration reports for those years under section 904
        of this title are made (as applicable), if the President does
        not choose to make the adjustments set forth in subparagraph
        (B), the maximum deficit amount for that fiscal year shall be
        adjusted by the amount of the adjustment to discretionary
        spending limits first applicable for that year (if any) under
        section 901(b) of this title.
          (D) For each fiscal year the adjustments required to be made
        with the submission of the President's budget for that year
        shall also be made when OMB submits the sequestration update
        report and the final sequestration report for that year, but
        OMB shall continue to use the economic and technical
        assumptions in the President's budget for that year.

      Each adjustment shall be made by increasing or decreasing the
      maximum deficit amounts set forth in section 665 (!1) of this
      title.
      (2) Calculations of adjustments
        The required increase or decrease shall be calculated as
      follows:
          (A) The baseline deficit or surplus shall be calculated using
        up-to-date economic and technical assumptions, using up-to-date
        concepts and definitions, and, in lieu of the baseline levels
        of discretionary appropriations, using the discretionary
        spending limits set forth in section 665 (!1) of this title as
        adjusted under section 901 of this title.
          (B) The net deficit increase or decrease caused by all direct
        spending and receipts legislation enacted after November 5,
        1990 (after adjusting for any sequestration of direct spending
        accounts) shall be calculated for each fiscal year by adding - 
            (i) the estimates of direct spending and receipts
          legislation transmitted under section 902(d) of this title
          applicable to each such fiscal year; and
            (ii) the estimated amount of savings in direct spending
          programs applicable to each such fiscal year resulting from
          the prior year's sequestration under this section or section
          902 of this title of direct spending, if any, as contained in
          OMB's final sequestration report for that year.

          (C) The amount calculated under subparagraph (B) shall be
        subtracted from the amount calculated under subparagraph (A).
          (D) The maximum deficit amount set forth in section 665 (!1)
        of this title shall be subtracted from the amount calculated
        under subparagraph (C).
          (E) The amount calculated under subparagraph (D) shall be the
        amount of the adjustment required by paragraph (1).
    (h) Treatment of deposit insurance
      (1) Initial estimates
        The initial estimates of the net costs of federal deposit
      insurance for fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995 (assuming
      full funding of, and continuation of, the deposit insurance
      guarantee commitment in effect on the date of the submission of
      the budget for fiscal year 1993) shall be set forth in that
      budget.
      (2) Reestimates
        For fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995, the amount of the
      reestimate of deposit insurance costs shall be calculated by
      subtracting the amount set forth under paragraph (1) for that
      year from the current estimate of deposit insurance costs (but
      assuming full funding of, and continuation of, the deposit
      insurance guarantee commitment in effect on the date of
      submission of the budget for fiscal year 1993).

        (1) during the period consisting of the quarter during which
      such notification is given, the quarter preceding such
      notification, and the 4 quarters following such notification, CBO
      or OMB has determined that real economic growth is projected or
      estimated to be less than zero with respect to each of any 2
      consecutive quarters within such period; or
        (2) the most recent of the Department of Commerce's advance
      preliminary or final reports of actual real economic growth
      indicate that the rate of real economic growth for each of the

-HEAD-
    Sec. 906. General and special sequestration rules

-STATUTE-
    (a) Automatic spending increases
      Automatic spending increases are increases in outlays due to
    changes in indexes in the following programs:
        (1) Special milk program; and
        (2) Vocational rehabilitation basic State grants.

    In those programs all amounts other than the automatic spending
    increases shall be exempt from reduction under any order issued
    under this subchapter.
    (b) Student loans
      For all student loans under part B or D of title IV of the Higher
    Education Act of 1965 [20 U.S.C. 1071 et seq., 1087a et seq.] made
    during the period when a sequestration order under section 904 of
    this title is in effect as required by section 902 or 903 of this
    title, origination fees under sections 438(c)(2) and 455(c) of that
    Act [20 U.S.C. 1087-1(c)(2), 1087e(c)] shall each be increased by
    0.50 percentage point.
    (c) Treatment of foster care and adoption assistance programs
      Any order issued by the President under section 904 of this title
    shall make the reduction which is otherwise required under the
    foster care and adoption assistance programs (established by part E
    of title IV of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 670 et seq.])
    only with respect to payments and expenditures made by States in
    which increases in foster care maintenance payment rates or
    adoption assistance payment rates (or both) are to take effect
    during the fiscal year involved, and only to the extent that the
    required reduction can be accomplished by applying a uniform
    percentage reduction to the Federal matching payments that each
    such State would otherwise receive under section 474 of that Act
    [42 U.S.C. 674] (for such fiscal year) for that portion of the
    State's payments which is attributable to the increases taking
    effect during that year. No State's matching payments from the
    Federal Government for foster care maintenance payments or for
    adoption assistance maintenance payments may be reduced by a
    percentage exceeding the applicable domestic sequestration
    percentage. No State may, after December 12, 1985, make any change
    in the timetable for making payments under a State plan approved
    under part E of title IV of the Social Security Act which has the
    effect of changing the fiscal year in which expenditures under such
    part are made.
    (d) Special rules for Medicare program
      (1) Calculation of reduction in individual payment amounts
        To achieve the total percentage reduction in those programs
      required by sections 902 and 903 of this title, and
      notwithstanding section 710 of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C.
      911], OMB shall determine, and the applicable Presidential order
      under section 904 of this title shall implement, the percentage
      reduction that shall apply to payments under the health insurance
      programs under title XVIII of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C.
      1395 et seq.] for services furnished after the order is issued,
      such that the reduction made in payments under that order shall
      achieve the required total percentage reduction in those payments
      for that fiscal year as determined on a 12-month basis.
      (2) Timing of application of reductions
        (A) In general
          Except as provided in subparagraph (B), if a reduction is
        made under paragraph (1) in payment amounts pursuant to a
        sequestration order, the reduction shall be applied to payment
        for services furnished during the effective period of the
        order. For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of
        inpatient services furnished for an individual, the services
        shall be considered to be furnished on the date of the
        individual's discharge from the inpatient facility.
        (B) Payment on the basis of cost reporting periods
          In the case in which payment for services of a provider of
        services is made under title XVIII of the Social Security Act
        [42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.] on a basis relating to the reasonable
        cost incurred for the services during a cost reporting period
        of the provider, if a reduction is made under paragraph (1) in
        payment amounts pursuant to a sequestration order, the
        reduction shall be applied to payment for costs for such
        services incurred at any time during each cost reporting period
        of the provider any part of which occurs during the effective
        period of the order, but only (for each such cost reporting
        period) in the same proportion as the fraction of the cost
        reporting period that occurs during the effective period of the
        order.
      (3) No increase in beneficiary charges in assignment-related
        cases
        If a reduction in payment amounts is made under paragraph (1)
      for services for which payment under part B of title XVIII of the
      Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 1395j et seq.] is made on the
      basis of an assignment described in section 1842(b)(3)(B)(ii) [42
      U.S.C. 1395u(b)(3)(B)(ii)], in accordance with section
      1842(b)(6)(B) [42 U.S.C. 1395u(b)(6)(B)], or under the procedure
      described in section 1870(f)(1) [42 U.S.C. 1395gg(f)(1)], of such
      Act, the person furnishing the services shall be considered to
      have accepted payment of the reasonable charge for the services,
      less any reduction in payment amount made pursuant to a
      sequestration order, as payment in full.
      (4) No effect on computation of AAPCC
        In computing the adjusted average per capita cost for purposes
      of section 1876(a)(4) of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C.
      1395mm(a)(4)], the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall
      not take into account any reductions in payment amounts which
      have been or may be effected under this subchapter.
    (e) Community and migrant health centers, Indian health services
      and facilities, and veterans' medical care
      (1) The maximum permissible reduction in budget authority for any
    account listed in paragraph (2) for any fiscal year, pursuant to an
    order issued under section 904 of this title, shall be 2 percent.
      (2) The accounts referred to in paragraph (1) are as follows:
        (A) Community health centers (75-0350-0-1-550).
        (B) Migrant health centers (75-0350-0-1-550).
        (C) Indian health facilities (75-0391-0-1-551).
        (D) Indian health services (75-0390-0-1-551).
        (E) Veterans' medical care (36-0160-0-1-703).

    programs are identified by the designated budget account
    identification code numbers set forth in the Budget of the United
    States Government - Appendix.
    (f) Treatment of child support enforcement program
      Notwithstanding any change in the display of budget accounts, any
    order issued by the President under section 904 of this title shall
    accomplish the full amount of any required reduction in
    expenditures under sections 455 and 458 of the Social Security Act
    [42 U.S.C. 655, 658a] by reducing the Federal matching rate for
    State administrative costs under such program, as specified (for

      as other administrative expense components of the Federal budget;
      except that no such order may reduce or have the effect of
      reducing the rate of pay to which any individual is entitled
      under any such statutory pay system (as increased by any amount
      payable under section 5304 of title 5 or section 302 of the
      Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990) or the rate of

      contracts described in paragraph (1) may provide for reductions
      in outlays for the account involved to occur in the fiscal year
      following the fiscal year to which the order applies.
      (4) Uniform percentage rate of reduction and other limitations

      account involved are reduced by a percentage rate that is uniform

      in any such item exceeding the rate specified in the order.
      (5) Dairy program
        Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, as the
      sole means of achieving any reduction in outlays under the milk
      price support program, the Secretary of Agriculture shall provide
      for a reduction to be made in the price received by producers for
      all milk produced in the United States and marketed by producers
      for commercial use. That price reduction (measured in cents per
      hundred weight of milk marketed) shall occur under section
      1446(d)(2)(A) of title 7, shall begin on the day any
      sequestration order is issued under section 904 of this title,
      and shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the reduction in
      outlays under the milk price support program that otherwise would
      have been achieved by reducing payments for the purchase of milk
      or the products of milk under this subsection during the
      applicable fiscal year.
      (6) Certain authority not to be limited
        Nothing in this joint resolution shall limit or reduce, in any
      way, any appropriation that provides the Commodity Credit
      Corporation with budget authority to cover the Corporation's net
      realized losses.
    (k) Effects of sequestration
      The effects of sequestration shall be as follows:
        (1) Budgetary resources sequestered from any account shall be
      permanently cancelled, except as provided in paragraph (5).
        (2) Except as otherwise provided, the same percentage
      sequestration shall apply to all programs, projects, and
      activities within a budget account (with programs, projects, and
      activities as delineated in the appropriation Act or accompanying
      report for the relevant fiscal year covering that account, or for
      accounts not included in appropriation Acts, as delineated in the
      most recently submitted President's budget).
        (3) Administrative regulations or similar actions implementing
      a sequestration shall be made within 120 days of the
      sequestration order. To the extent that formula allocations
      differ at different levels of budgetary resources within an
      account, program, project, or activity, the sequestration shall
      be interpreted as producing a lower total appropriation, with the
      remaining amount of the appropriation being obligated in a manner
      consistent with program allocation formulas in substantive law.
        (4) Except as otherwise provided, obligations in sequestered
      accounts shall be reduced only in the fiscal year in which a
      sequester occurs.
        (5) If an automatic spending increase is sequestered, the
      increase (in the applicable index) that was disregarded as a
      result of that sequestration shall not be taken into account in
      any subsequent fiscal year.
        (6) Budgetary resources sequestered in revolving, trust, and

-HEAD-
    Sec. 907. The baseline

-STATUTE-
    (a) In general
      For any budget year, the baseline refers to a projection of
    current-year levels of new budget authority, outlays, revenues, and
    the surplus or deficit into the budget year and the outyears based
    on laws enacted through the applicable date.
    (b) Direct spending and receipts
      For the budget year and each outyear, the baseline shall be
    calculated using the following assumptions:
      (1) In general
        Laws providing or creating direct spending and receipts are
      assumed to operate in the manner specified in those laws for each
      such year and funding for entitlement authority is assumed to be
      adequate to make all payments required by those laws.
      (2) Exceptions
        (A)(i) No program established by a law enacted on or before
      August 5, 1997, with estimated current year outlays greater than
      $50,000,000 shall be assumed to expire in the budget year or the
      outyears. The scoring of new programs with estimated outlays
      greater than $50,000,000 a year shall be based on scoring by the
      Committees on Budget or OMB, as applicable. OMB, CBO, and the
      Budget Committees shall consult on the scoring of such programs
      where there are differenes (!1) between CBO and OMB.

        (ii) On the expiration of the suspension of a provision of law
      that is suspended under section 7301 of title 7 and that
      authorizes a program with estimated fiscal year outlays that are
      greater than $50,000,000, for purposes of clause (i), the program
      shall be assumed to continue to operate in the same manner as the
      program operated immediately before the expiration of the
      suspension.
        (B) The increase for veterans' compensation for a fiscal year
      is assumed to be the same as that required by law for veterans'
      pensions unless otherwise provided by law enacted in that
      session.
        (C) Excise taxes dedicated to a trust fund, if expiring, are
      assumed to be extended at current rates.
        (D) If any law expires before the budget year or any outyear,
      then any program with estimated current year outlays greater than
      $50,000,000 that operates under that law shall be assumed to
      continue to operate under that law as in effect immediately
      before its expiration.
      (3) Hospital Insurance Trust Fund
        Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the receipts and
      disbursements of the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund shall be
      included in all calculations required by this Act.
    (c) Discretionary appropriations
      For the budget year and each outyear, the baseline shall be
    calculated using the following assumptions regarding all amounts
    other than those covered by subsection (b) of this section:
      (1) Inflation of current-year appropriations
        Budgetary resources other than unobligated balances shall be at
      the level provided for the budget year in full-year appropriation
      Acts. If for any account a full-year appropriation has not yet
      been enacted, budgetary resources other than unobligated balances
      shall be at the level available in the current year, adjusted
      sequentially and cumulatively for expiring housing contracts as
      specified in paragraph (2), for social insurance administrative
      expenses as specified in paragraph (3), to offset pay absorption
      and for pay annualization as specified in paragraph (4), for
      inflation as specified in paragraph (5), and to account for
      changes required by law in the level of agency payments for
      personnel benefits other than pay.
      (2) Expiring housing contracts
        New budget authority to renew expiring multiyear subsidized
      housing contracts shall be adjusted to reflect the difference in
      the number of such contracts that are scheduled to expire in that
      fiscal year and the number expiring in the current year, with the
      per-contract renewal cost equal to the average current-year cost
      of renewal contracts.
      (3) Social insurance administrative expenses
        Budgetary resources for the administrative expenses of the
      following trust funds shall be adjusted by the percentage change
      in the beneficiary population from the current year to that
      fiscal year: the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, the
      Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund, the Unemployment
      Trust Fund, and the railroad retirement account.
      (4) Pay annualization; offset to pay absorption
        Current-year new budget authority for Federal employees shall
      be adjusted to reflect the full 12-month costs (without
      absorption) of any pay adjustment that occurred in that fiscal
      year.
      (5) Inflators
        The inflator used in paragraph (1) to adjust budgetary
      resources relating to personnel shall be the percent by which the
      average of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index
      (wages and salaries, private industry workers) for that fiscal
      year differs from such index for the current year. The inflator
      used in paragraph (1) to adjust all other budgetary resources
      shall be the percent by which the average of the estimated gross
      domestic product chain-type price index for that fiscal year
      differs from the average of such estimated index for the current
      year.
      (6) Current-year appropriations
        If, for any account, a continuing appropriation is in effect
      for less than the entire current year, then the current-year
      amount shall be assumed to equal the amount that would be
      available if that continuing appropriation covered the entire
      fiscal year. If law permits the transfer of budget authority
      among budget accounts in the current year, the current-year level
      for an account shall reflect transfers accomplished by the
      submission of, or assumed for the current year in, the
      President's original budget for the budget year.
    (d) Up-to-date concepts
      In deriving the baseline for any budget year or outyear, current-
    year amounts shall be calculated using the concepts and
    definitions that are required for that budget year.
    (e) Asset sales
      Amounts realized from the sale of an asset shall not be included
    in estimates under section 901, 902, or 903 of this title if that
    sale would result in a financial cost to the Federal Government as
    determined pursuant to scorekeeping guidelines.

    (a) Procedures in event of low-growth report
      (1) Trigger

      254(j),(!1) the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives
      may, and the Majority Leader of the Senate shall, introduce a
      joint resolution (in the form set forth in paragraph (2))
      declaring that the conditions specified in section 254(j) (!1)
      are met and suspending the relevant provisions of this title,(!1)
      titles III and VI (!1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 [2

      (2) Form of joint resolution
        (A) The matter after the resolving clause in any joint
      resolution introduced pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be as
      follows: "That the Congress declares that the conditions
      specified in section 254(j) (!1) of the Balanced Budget and
      Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 are met, and the
      implementation of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
      Control Act of 1974, chapter 11 of title 31, United States Code,
      and part C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control

      resolution suspending certain provisions of law pursuant to
      section 258(a)(2) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
      Control Act of 1985."; and the joint resolution shall not contain
      any preamble.
      (3) Committee action
        Each joint resolution introduced pursuant to paragraph (1)
      shall be referred to the appropriate committees of the House of
      Representatives or the Committee on the Budget of the Senate, as
      the case may be; and such Committee shall report the joint
      resolution to its House without amendment on or before the fifth
      day on which such House is in session after the date on which the
      joint resolution is introduced. If the Committee fails to report
      the joint resolution within the five-day period referred to in
      the preceding sentence, it shall be automatically discharged from
      further consideration of the joint resolution, and the joint
      resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar.
      (4) Consideration of joint resolution
        (A) A vote on final passage of a joint resolution reported to
      the Senate or discharged pursuant to paragraph (3) shall be taken
      on or before the close of the fifth calendar day of session after
      the date on which the joint resolution is reported or after the
      Committee has been discharged from further consideration of the
      joint resolution. If prior to the passage by one House of a joint
      resolution of that House, that House receives the same joint
      resolution from the other House, then - 
          (i) the procedure in that House shall be the same as if no
        such joint resolution had been received from the other House,
        but
          (ii) the vote on final passage shall be on the joint
        resolution of the other House.

      When the joint resolution is agreed to, the Clerk of the House of
      Representatives (in the case of a House joint resolution agreed
      to in the House of Representatives) or the Secretary of the
      Senate (in the case of a Senate joint resolution agreed to in the
      Senate) shall cause the joint resolution to be engrossed,
      certified, and transmitted to the other House of the Congress as
      soon as practicable.
        (B)(i) In the Senate, a joint resolution under this paragraph
      shall be privileged. It shall not be in order to move to
      reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed
      to.
        (ii) Debate in the Senate on a joint resolution under this
      paragraph, and all debatable motions and appeals in connection
      therewith, shall be limited to not more than five hours. The time
      shall be equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority
      leader and the minority leader or their designees.
        (iii) Debate in the Senate on any debatable motion or appeal in
      connection with a joint resolution under this paragraph shall be
      limited to not more than one hour, to be equally divided between,
      and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the joint
      resolution, except that in the event the manager of the joint
      resolution is in favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in
      opposition thereto shall be controlled by the minority leader or
      his designee.
        (iv) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate on a joint
      resolution under this paragraph is not debatable. A motion to
      table or to recommit a joint resolution under this paragraph is
      not in order.
        (C) No amendment to a joint resolution considered under this
      paragraph shall be in order in the Senate.
    (b) Suspension of sequestration procedures
      Upon the enactment of a declaration of war or a joint resolution
    described in subsection (a) of this section - 
        (1) the subsequent issuance of any sequestration report or any
      sequestration order is precluded;
        (2) sections 302(f), 310(d), 311(a), and title VI (!1) of the
      Congressional Budget Act of 1974 [2 U.S.C. 633(f), 641(d),
      642(a)] are suspended; and
        (3) section 1103 of title 31 is suspended.
    (c) Restoration of sequestration procedures
      (1) In the event of a suspension of sequestration procedures due
    to a declaration of war, then, effective with the first fiscal year
    that begins in the session after the state of war is concluded by
    Senate ratification of the necessary treaties, the provisions of
    subsection (b) of this section triggered by that declaration of war
    are no longer effective.
      (2) In the event of a suspension of sequestration procedures due
    to the enactment of a joint resolution described in subsection (a)
    of this section, then, effective with regard to the first fiscal
    year beginning at least 12 months after the enactment of that
    resolution, the provisions of subsection (b) of this section
    triggered by that resolution are no longer effective.

    Sec. 907b. Modification of Presidential order

-STATUTE-
    (a) Introduction of joint resolution
      At any time after the Director of OMB issues a final
    sequestration report under section 904 of this title for a fiscal
    year, but before the close of the twentieth calendar day of the
    session of Congress beginning after the date of issuance of such
    report, the majority leader of either House of Congress may
    introduce a joint resolution which contains provisions directing
    the President to modify the most recent order issued under section
    904 of this title or provide an alternative to reduce the deficit
    for such fiscal year. After the introduction of the first such
    joint resolution in either House of Congress in any calendar year,
    then no other joint resolution introduced in such House in such
    calendar year shall be subject to the procedures set forth in this
    section.
    (b) Procedures for consideration of joint resolutions
      (1) Referral to committee
        A joint resolution introduced in the Senate under subsection
      (a) of this section shall not be referred to a committee of the
      Senate and shall be placed on the calendar pending disposition of
      such joint resolution in accordance with this subsection.
      (2) Consideration in Senate
        On or after the third calendar day (excluding Saturdays,
      Sundays, and legal holidays) beginning after a joint resolution
      is introduced under subsection (a) of this section,
      notwithstanding any rule or precedent of the Senate, including
      Rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, it is in order
      (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been
      disagreed to) for any Member of the Senate to move to proceed to
      the consideration of the joint resolution. The motion is not in
      order after the eighth calendar day (excluding Saturdays,
      Sundays, and legal holidays) beginning after a joint resolution
      (to which the motion applies) is introduced. The joint resolution
      is privileged in the Senate. A motion to reconsider the vote by
      which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in
      order. If a motion to proceed to the consideration of the joint
      resolution is agreed to, the Senate shall immediately proceed to
      consideration of the joint resolution without intervening motion,
      order, or other business, and the joint resolution shall remain
      the unfinished business of the Senate until disposed of.
      (3) Debate in Senate
        (A) In the Senate, debate on a joint resolution introduced
      under subsection (a) of this section, amendments thereto, and all
      debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith shall be
      limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally
      between the majority leader and the minority leader (or their
      designees).
        (B) A motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to the
      consideration of other business is not in order. A motion to
      reconsider the vote by which the joint resolution is agreed to or
      disagreed to is not in order, and a motion to recommit the joint
      resolution is not in order.
        (C)(i) No amendment that is not germane to the provisions of
      the joint resolution or to the order issued under section 904 of
      this title shall be in order in the Senate. In the Senate, an
      amendment, any amendment to an amendment, or any debatable motion
      or appeal is debatable for not to exceed 30 minutes to be equally
      divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the majority
      leader (or their designees), except that in the event that the
      majority leader favors the amendment, motion, or appeal, the
      minority leader (or the minority leader's designee) shall control
      the time in opposition to the amendment, motion, or appeal.
        (ii) In the Senate, an amendment that is otherwise in order
      shall be in order notwithstanding the fact that it amends the
      joint resolution in more than one place or amends language
      previously amended. It shall not be in order in the Senate to
      vote on the question of agreeing to such a joint resolution or
      any amendment thereto unless the figures then contained in such
      joint resolution or amendment are mathematically consistent.
      (4) Vote on final passage
        Immediately following the conclusion of the debate on a joint
      resolution introduced under subsection (a) of this section, a
      single quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if requested
      in accordance with the rules of the Senate, and the disposition
      of any pending amendments under paragraph (3), the vote on final
      passage of the joint resolution shall occur.
      (5) Appeals
        Appeals from the decisions of the Chair shall be decided
      without debate.
      (6) Conference reports
        In the Senate, points of order under titles III, IV, and VI
      (!1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 [2 U.S.C. 631 et
      seq., 651 et seq.] are applicable to a conference report on the
      joint resolution or any amendments in disagreement thereto.

      (7) Resolution from other House
        If, before the passage by the Senate of a joint resolution of
      the Senate introduced under subsection (a) of this section, the
      Senate receives from the House of Representatives a joint
      resolution introduced under subsection (a) of this section, then
      the following procedures shall apply:
          (A) The joint resolution of the House of Representatives
        shall not be referred to a committee and shall be placed on the
        calendar.
          (B) With respect to a joint resolution introduced under
        subsection (a) of this section in the Senate - 
            (i) the procedure in the Senate shall be the same as if no
          joint resolution had been received from the House; but
            (ii)(I) the vote on final passage shall be on the joint
          resolution of the House if it is identical to the joint
          resolution then pending for passage in the Senate; or
            (II) if the joint resolution from the House is not
          identical to the joint resolution then pending for passage in
          the Senate and the Senate then passes the Senate joint
          resolution, the Senate shall be considered to have passed the
          House joint resolution as amended by the text of the Senate
          joint resolution.

          (C) Upon disposition of the joint resolution received from
        the House, it shall no longer be in order to consider the
        resolution originated in the Senate.
      (8) Senate action on House resolution
        If the Senate receives from the House of Representatives a
      joint resolution introduced under subsection (a) of this section
      after the Senate has disposed of a Senate originated resolution
      which is identical to the House passed joint resolution, the
      action of the Senate with regard to the disposition of the Senate
      originated joint resolution shall be deemed to be the action of
      the Senate with regard to the House originated joint resolution.
      If it is not identical to the House passed joint resolution, then
      the Senate shall be considered to have passed the joint
      resolution of the House as amended by the text of the Senate
      joint resolution.

      Subject to subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this section, new
    budget authority and unobligated balances for any programs,
    projects, or activities within major functional category 050 (other
    than a military personnel account) may be further reduced beyond
    the amount specified in an order issued by the President under
    section 904 of this title for such fiscal year. To the extent such
    additional reductions are made and result in additional outlay
    reductions, the President may provide for lesser reductions in new
    budget authority and unobligated balances for other programs,
    projects, or activities within major functional category 050 for
    such fiscal year, but only to the extent that the resulting outlay
    increases do not exceed the additional outlay reductions, and no
    such program, project, or activity may be increased above the level
    actually made available by law in appropriation Acts (before taking
    sequestration into account). In making calculations under this
    subsection, the President shall use account outlay rates that are
    identical to those used in the report by the Director of OMB under
    section 904 of this title.
    (b) Base closures prohibited
      No actions taken by the President under subsection (a) of this
    section for a fiscal year may result in a domestic base closure or
    realignment that would otherwise be subject to section 2687 of
    title 10.
    (c) Report and joint resolution required
      The President may not exercise the authority provided by this
    paragraph (!1) for a fiscal year unless - 

        (1) the President submits a single report to Congress
      specifying, for each account, the detailed changes proposed to be
      made for such fiscal year pursuant to this section;
        (2) that report is submitted within 5 calendar days of the
      start of the next session of Congress; and
        (3) a joint resolution affirming or modifying the changes
      proposed by the President pursuant to this paragraph (!1) becomes
      law.
    (d) Introduction of joint resolution
      Within 5 calendar days of session after the President submits a
    report to Congress under subsection (c)(1) of this section for a
    fiscal year, the majority leader of each House of Congress shall
    (by request) introduce a joint resolution which contains provisions
    affirming the changes proposed by the President pursuant to this
    paragraph.(!1)

      (2) The title of the joint resolution shall be "Joint resolution
    approving the report of the President submitted under section 258B

    (f) Calendaring and consideration of joint resolution in Senate
      (1) A joint resolution introduced in the Senate under subsection
    (d) of this section shall be referred to the Committee on
    Appropriations, and if not reported within 5 calendar days
    (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) from the date of
    introduction shall be considered as having been discharged
    therefrom and shall be placed on the appropriate calendar pending
    disposition of such joint resolution in accordance with this
    subsection. In the Senate, no amendment proposed in the Committee
    on Appropriations shall be in order other than an amendment (in the
    nature of a substitute) that is germane or relevant to the
    provisions of the joint resolution or to the order issued under
    section 904 of this title. For purposes of this paragraph, an
    amendment shall be considered to be relevant if it relates to
    function 050 (national defense).
      (2) On or after the third calendar day (excluding Saturdays,
    Sundays, and legal holidays) beginning after a joint resolution is
    placed on the Senate calendar, notwithstanding any rule or
    precedent of the Senate, including Rule XXII of the Standing Rules
    of the Senate, it is in order (even though a previous motion to the
    same effect has been disagreed to) for any Member of the Senate to
    move to proceed to the consideration of the joint resolution. The
    motion is not in order after the eighth calendar day (excluding
    Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) beginning after such joint
    resolution is placed on the appropriate calendar. The motion is not
    debatable. The joint resolution is privileged in the Senate. A
    motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or
    disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the
    consideration of the joint resolution is agreed to, the Senate
    shall immediately proceed to consideration of the joint resolution
    without intervening motion, order, or other business, and the joint
    resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the Senate until

    between the majority leader and the minority leader (or their
    designees).
      (2) A motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to the
    consideration of other business is not in order. A motion to
    reconsider the vote by which the joint resolution is agreed to or
    disagreed to is not in order. In the Senate, a motion to recommit
    the joint resolution is not in order.
    (h) Amendment of joint resolution
      (1) No amendment that is not germane or relevant to the
    provisions of the joint resolution or to the order issued under
    section 904 of this title shall be in order in the Senate. For
    purposes of this paragraph, an amendment shall be considered to be
    relevant if it relates to function 050 (national defense). In the
    Senate, an amendment, any amendment to an amendment, or any
    debatable motion or appeal is debatable for not to exceed 30
    minutes to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover
    and the majority leader (or their designees), except that in the
    event that the majority leader favors the amendment, motion, or
    appeal, the minority leader (or the minority leader's designee)
    shall control the time in opposition to the amendment, motion, or
    appeal.
      (2) In the Senate, an amendment that is otherwise in order shall
    be in order notwithstanding the fact that it amends the joint
    resolution in more than one place or amends language previously
    amended, so long as the amendment makes or maintains mathematical
    consistency. It shall not be in order in the Senate to vote on the
    question of agreeing to such a joint resolution or any amendment
    thereto unless the figures then contained in such joint resolution
    or amendment are mathematically consistent.
      (3) It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any
    amendment to any joint resolution introduced under subsection (d)
    of this section or any conference report thereon if such amendment
    or conference report would have the effect of decreasing any
    specific budget outlay reductions below the level of such outlay
    reductions provided in such joint resolution unless such amendment
    or conference report makes a reduction in other specific budget
    outlays at least equivalent to any increase in outlays provided by
    such amendment or conference report.
      (4) For purposes of the application of paragraph (3), the level
    of outlays and specific budget outlay reductions provided in an
    amendment shall be determined on the basis of estimates made by the
    Committee on the Budget of the Senate.
    (i) Vote on final passage of joint resolution
      Immediately following the conclusion of the debate on a joint
    resolution introduced under subsection (d) of this section, a
    single quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if requested in
    accordance with the rules of the Senate, and the disposition of any
    pending amendments under subsection (h) of this section, the vote
    on final passage of the joint resolution shall occur.
    (j) Appeal from decision of Chair

    306, and 401(b)(1) [2 U.S.C. 633(c), 634(a), 637, 651(b)(1)]) are
    applicable to a conference report on the joint resolution or any
    amendments in disagreement thereto.
    (l) Resolution from other House
      If, before the passage by the Senate of a joint resolution of the
    Senate introduced under subsection (d) of this section, the Senate
    receives from the House of Representatives a joint resolution
    introduced under subsection (d) of this section, then the following
    procedures shall apply:
        (1) The joint resolution of the House of Representatives shall
      not be referred to a committee.
        (2) With respect to a joint resolution introduced under
      subsection (d) of this section in the Senate - 
          (A) the procedure in the Senate shall be the same as if no
        joint resolution had been received from the House; but
          (B)(i) the vote on final passage shall be on the joint
        resolution of the House if it is identical to the joint
        resolution then pending for passage in the Senate; or
          (ii) if the joint resolution from the House is not identical
        to the joint resolution then pending for passage in the Senate
        and the Senate then passes the Senate joint resolution, the
        Senate shall be considered to have passed the House joint
        resolution as amended by the text of the Senate joint
        resolution.

        (3) Upon disposition of the joint resolution received from the
      House, it shall no longer be in order to consider the joint
      resolution originated in the Senate.
    (m) Senate action on House resolution
      If the Senate receives from the House of Representatives a joint
    resolution introduced under subsection (d) of this section after
    the Senate has disposed of a Senate originated joint resolution
    which is identical to the House passed joint resolution, the action
    of the Senate with regard to the disposition of the Senate
    originated joint resolution shall be deemed to be the action of the
    Senate with regard to the House originated joint resolution. If it
    is not identical to the House passed joint resolution, then the
    Senate shall be considered to have passed the joint resolution of
    the House as amended by the text of the Senate joint resolution.

-STATUTE-
    (a) Reporting of resolutions and reconciliation bills and
      resolutions, in Senate
      (1) Committee alternatives to Presidential order
        After the submission of an OMB sequestration update report
      under section 904 of this title that envisions a sequestration
      under section 902 or 903 of this title, each standing committee
      of the Senate may, not later than October 10, submit to the
      Committee on the Budget of the Senate information of the type
      described in section 632(d) of this title with respect to
      alternatives to the order envisioned by such report insofar as
      such order affects laws within the jurisdiction of the committee.
      (2) Initial Budget Committee action
        After the submission of such a report, the Committee on the
      Budget of the Senate may, not later than October 15, report to
      the Senate a resolution. The resolution may affirm the impact of
      the order envisioned by such report, in whole or in part. To the
      extent that any part is not affirmed, the resolution shall state
      which parts are not affirmed and shall contain instructions to
      committees of the Senate of the type referred to in section
      641(a) of this title, sufficient to achieve at least the total
      level of deficit reduction contained in those sections which are
      not affirmed.
      (3) Response of committees
        Committees instructed pursuant to paragraph (2), or affected
      thereby, shall submit their responses to the Budget Committee no
      later than 10 days after the resolution referred to in paragraph
      (2) is agreed to, except that if only one such Committee is so
      instructed such Committee shall, by the same date, report to the
      Senate a reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution
      containing its recommendations in response to such instructions.
      A committee shall be considered to have complied with all
      instructions to it pursuant to a resolution adopted under
      paragraph (2) if it has made recommendations with respect to
      matters within its jurisdiction which would result in a reduction
      in the deficit at least equal to the total reduction directed by
      such instructions.
      (4) Budget Committee action
        Upon receipt of the recommendations received in response to a
      resolution referred to in paragraph (2), the Budget Committee
      shall report to the Senate a reconciliation bill or
      reconciliation resolution, or both, carrying out all such
      recommendations without any substantive revisions. In the event
      that a committee instructed in a resolution referred to in
      paragraph (2) fails to submit any recommendation (or, when only
      one committee is instructed, fails to report a reconciliation
      bill or resolution) in response to such instructions, the Budget
      Committee shall include in the reconciliation bill or
      reconciliation resolution reported pursuant to this subparagraph
      legislative language within the jurisdiction of the noncomplying
      committee to achieve the amount of deficit reduction directed in
      such instructions.
      (5) Point of order
        It shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any
      reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution reported under
      paragraph (4) with respect to a fiscal year, any amendment
      thereto, or any conference report thereon if - 
          (A) the enactment of such bill or resolution as reported;
          (B) the adoption and enactment of such amendment; or
          (C) the enactment of such bill or resolution in the form
        recommended in such conference report,

      would cause the amount of the deficit for such fiscal year to
      exceed the maximum deficit amount for such fiscal year, unless
      the low-growth report submitted under section 904 of this title
      projects negative real economic growth for such fiscal year, or
      for each of any two consecutive quarters during such fiscal year.
      (6) Treatment of certain amendments
        In the Senate, an amendment which adds to a resolution reported
      under paragraph (2) an instruction of the type referred to in
      such paragraph shall be in order during the consideration of such
      resolution if such amendment would be in order but for the fact
      that it would be held to be non-germane on the basis that the
      instruction constitutes new matter.
      (7) "Day" defined
        For purposes of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), the term "day"
      shall mean any calendar day on which the Senate is in session.
    (b) Procedures
      (1) In general
        Except as provided in paragraph (2), in the Senate the
      provisions of sections 636 and 641 of this title for the
      consideration of concurrent resolutions on the budget and
      conference reports thereon shall also apply to the consideration
      of resolutions, and reconciliation bills and reconciliation
      resolutions reported under this paragraph and conference reports
      thereon.
      (2) Limit on debate
        Debate in the Senate on any resolution reported pursuant to
      subsection (a)(2) of this section, and all amendments thereto and
      debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be
      limited to 10 hours.
      (3) Limitation on amendments
        Section 641(d)(2) of this title shall apply to reconciliation
      bills and reconciliation resolutions reported under this
      subsection.
      (4) Bills and resolutions received from the House
        Any bill or resolution received in the Senate from the House,
      which is a companion to a reconciliation bill or reconciliation
      resolution of the Senate for the purposes of this subsection,
      shall be considered in the Senate pursuant to the provisions of
      this subsection.
      (5) "Resolution" defined
        For purposes of this subsection, the term "resolution" means a
      simple, joint, or concurrent resolution.

        (1) Any Member of Congress may bring an action, in the United
      States District Court for the District of Columbia, for
      declaratory judgment and injunctive relief on the ground that any
      order that might be issued pursuant to section 904 of this title
      violates the Constitution.
        (2) Any Member of Congress, or any other person adversely
      affected by any action taken under this title,(!1) may bring an
      action, in the United States District Court for the District of
      Columbia, for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief
      concerning the constitutionality of this title.(!1)

        (3) Any Member of Congress may bring an action, in the United
      States District Court for the District of Columbia, for
      declaratory and injunctive relief on the ground that the terms of
      an order issued under section 904 of this title do not comply
      with the requirements of this title.(!1)
        (4) A copy of any complaint in an action brought under
      paragraph (1), (2), or (3) shall be promptly delivered to the
      Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of
      Representatives, and each House of Congress shall have the right
      to intervene in such action.
        (5) Any action brought under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) shall
      be heard and determined by a three-judge court in accordance with
      section 2284 of title 28.

    Nothing in this section or in any other law shall infringe upon the
    right of the House of Representatives to intervene in an action
    brought under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) without the necessity of
    adopting a resolution to authorize such intervention.
    (b) Appeal to Supreme Court
      Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any order of the
    United States District Court for the District of Columbia which is
    issued pursuant to an action brought under paragraph (1), (2), or
    (3) of subsection (a) of this section shall be reviewable by appeal
    directly to the Supreme Court of the United States. Any such appeal
    shall be taken by a notice of appeal filed within 10 days after
    such order is entered; and the jurisdictional statement shall be
    filed within 30 days after such order is entered. No stay of an
    order issued pursuant to an action brought under paragraph (1),
    (2), or (3) of subsection (a) of this section shall be issued by a
    single Justice of the Supreme Court.
    (c) Expedited consideration
      It shall be the duty of the District Court for the District of
    Columbia and the Supreme Court of the United States to advance on
    the docket and to expedite to the greatest possible extent the
    disposition of any matter brought under subsection (a) of this
    section.
    (d) Noncompliance with sequestration procedures
      (1) If it is finally determined by a court of competent
    jurisdiction that an order issued by the President under section
    904 of this title for any fiscal year - 
        (A) does not reduce automatic spending increases under any
      program specified in section 906(a) of this title if such
      increases are required to be reduced by subchapter I of this
      chapter (or reduces such increases by a greater extent than is so
      required), or
        (B) does not sequester the amount of budgetary resources which
      is required to be sequestered by subchapter I of this chapter (or
      sequesters more than that amount) with respect to any program,
      project, activity, or account,

    the President shall, within 20 days after such determination is
    made, revise the order in accordance with such determination.
      (2) If the order issued by the President under section 904 of
    this title for any fiscal year - 
        (A) does not reduce any automatic spending increase to the
      extent that such increase is required to be reduced by subchapter
      I of this chapter,
        (B) does not sequester any amount of new budget authority, new
      loan guarantee commitments, new direct loan obligations, or
      spending authority which is required to be sequestered by
      subchapter I of this chapter, or
        (C) does not reduce any obligation limitation by the amount by
      which such limitation is required to be reduced under subchapter
      I of this chapter,

    on the claim or defense that the constitutional powers of the
    President prevent such sequestration or reduction or permit the
    avoidance of such sequestration or reduction, and such claim or
    defense is finally determined by the Supreme Court of the United
    States to be valid, then the entire order issued pursuant to
    section 904 of this title for such fiscal year shall be null and
    void.
    (e) Timing of relief
      No order of any court granting declaratory or injunctive relief
    from the order of the President issued under section 904 of this
    title, including but not limited to relief permitting or requiring
    the expenditure of funds sequestered by such order, shall take
    effect during the pendency of the action before such court, during
    the time appeal may be taken, or, if appeal is taken, during the
    period before the court to which such appeal is taken has entered
    its final order disposing of such action.
    (f) Preservation of other rights
      The rights created by this section are in addition to the rights
    of any person under law, subject to subsection (e) of this section.
    (g) Economic data and assumptions
      The economic data and economic assumptions used by the Director
    of OMB in computing the figures specified in any report issued by

    subject to review in any judicial or administrative proceeding.

    Sec. 1101. Congressional findings

-STATUTE-
      The Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Senator John C. Stennis of the State of Mississippi has
      served his State and country with distinction for more than 60
      years as a public servant, including service in the United States
      Senate for a period of 41 years.
        (2) Senator Stennis has a distinguished record as a United
      States Senator, including service as the first Chairman of the
      Select Committee on Ethics, Chairman of the Committee on Armed
      Services, Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, and
      President pro tempore of the Senate.
        (3) Senator Stennis has long maintained a special interest in
      and devotion to the development of leadership and excellence in
      public service.
        (4) There is a compelling need to encourage outstanding young
      people to pursue public service on a career basis and to provide
      public service leadership training opportunities for individuals
      serving in State and local governments and for individuals
      serving as employees of Members of Congress.
        (5) It would be a fitting tribute to Senator Stennis and to his
      leadership, integrity, and years of devoted public service to
      establish in his name a center for the training and development
      of leadership and excellence in public service.

-STATUTE-
    (a) Short title; findings
      (1) Short title
        This section may be cited as the "Congressional Hunger Fellows
      Act of 2002".
      (2) Findings
        The Congress finds as follows:
          (A) There is a critical need for compassionate individuals
        who are committed to assisting people who suffer from hunger as
        well as a need for such individuals to initiate and administer
        solutions to the hunger problem.
          (B) Bill Emerson, the distinguished late Representative from
        the 8th District of Missouri, demonstrated his commitment to
        solving the problem of hunger in a bipartisan manner, his
        commitment to public service, and his great affection for the
        institution and the ideals of the United States Congress.
          (C) George T. (Mickey) Leland, the distinguished late
        Representative from the 18th District of Texas, demonstrated
        his compassion for those in need, his high regard for public
        service, and his lively exercise of political talents.
          (D) The special concern that Mr. Emerson and Mr. Leland
        demonstrated during their lives for the hungry and poor was an
        inspiration for others to work toward the goals of equality and
        justice for all.
          (E) These two outstanding leaders maintained a special bond
        of friendship regardless of political affiliation and worked
        together to encourage future leaders to recognize and provide
        service to others, and therefore it is especially appropriate
        to honor the memory of Mr. Emerson and Mr. Leland by creating a
        fellowship program to develop and train the future leaders of
        the United States to pursue careers in humanitarian service.
    (b) Establishment
      There is established as an independent entity of the legislative

      A covered employee may, upon the completion of mediation under
    section 1403 of this title, file a complaint with the Office. The
    respondent to the complaint shall be the employing office - 
        (1) involved in the violation, or
        (2) in which the violation is alleged to have occurred,

    and about which mediation was conducted.
    (b) Dismissal
      A hearing officer may dismiss any claim that the hearing officer
    finds to be frivolous or that fails to state a claim upon which
    relief may be granted.
    (c) Hearing officer
      (1) Appointment
        Upon the filing of a complaint, the Executive Director shall
      appoint an independent hearing officer to consider the complaint
      and render a decision. No Member of the House of Representatives,
      Senator, officer of either the House of Representatives or the
      Senate, head of an employing office, member of the Board, or
      covered employee may be appointed to be a hearing officer. The
      Executive Director shall select hearing officers on a rotational
      or random basis from the lists developed under paragraph (2).
      Nothing in this section shall prevent the appointment of hearing
      officers as full-time employees of the Office or the selection of
      hearing officers on the basis of specialized expertise needed for
      particular matters.
      (2) Lists
        The Executive Director shall develop master lists, composed of -
       
          (A) members of the bar of a State or the District of Columbia
        and retired judges of the United States courts who are
        experienced in adjudicating or arbitrating the kinds of
        personnel and other matters for which hearings may be held
        under this chapter, and
          (B) individuals expert in technical matters relating to
        accessibility and usability by persons with disabilities or
        technical matters relating to occupational safety and health.

      In developing lists, the Executive Director shall consider
      candidates recommended by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation
      Service or the Administrative Conference of the United States.
    (d) Hearing
      Unless a complaint is dismissed before a hearing, a hearing shall
    be - 
        (1) conducted in closed session on the record by the hearing
      officer;
        (2) commenced no later than 60 days after filing of the
      complaint under subsection (a) of this section, except that the
      Office may, for good cause, extend up to an additional 30 days
      the time for commencing a hearing; and
        (3) conducted, except as specifically provided in this chapter
      and to the greatest extent practicable, in accordance with the
      principles and procedures set forth in sections 554 through 557
      of title 5.
    (e) Discovery
      Reasonable prehearing discovery may be permitted at the
    discretion of the hearing officer.
    (f) Subpoenas
      (1) In general
        At the request of a party, a hearing officer may issue
      subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and for the production
      of correspondence, books, papers, documents, and other records.
      The attendance of witnesses and the production of records may be
      required from any place within the United States. Subpoenas shall
      be served in the manner provided under rule 45(b) of the Federal
      Rules of Civil Procedure.
      (2) Objections
        If a person refuses, on the basis of relevance, privilege, or
      other objection, to testify in response to a question or to
      produce records in connection with a proceeding before a hearing
      officer, the hearing officer shall rule on the objection. At the
      request of the witness or any party, the hearing officer shall
      (or on the hearing officer's own initiative, the hearing officer
      may) refer the ruling to the Board for review.
      (3) Enforcement
        (A) In general
          If a person fails to comply with a subpoena, the Board may
        authorize the General Counsel to apply, in the name of the
        Office, to an appropriate United States district court for an
        order requiring that person to appear before the hearing
        officer to give testimony or produce records. The application
        may be made within the judicial district where the hearing is
        conducted or where that person is found, resides, or transacts
        business. Any failure to obey a lawful order of the district
        court issued pursuant to this section may be held by such court
        to be a civil contempt thereof.
        (B) Service of process
          Process in an action or contempt proceeding pursuant to
        subparagraph (A) may be served in any judicial district in
        which the person refusing or failing to comply, or threatening
        to refuse or not to comply, resides, transacts business, or may
        be found, and subpoenas for witnesses who are required to
        attend such proceedings may run into any other district.
    (g) Decision
      The hearing officer shall issue a written decision as
    expeditiously as possible, but in no case more than 90 days after
    the conclusion of the hearing. The written decision shall be
    transmitted by the Office to the parties. The decision shall state
    the issues raised in the complaint, describe the evidence in the
    record, contain findings of fact and conclusions of law, contain a
    determination of whether a violation has occurred, and order such
    remedies as are appropriate pursuant to subchapter II of this
    chapter. The decision shall be entered in the records of the
    Office. If a decision is not appealed under section 1406 of this
    title to the Board, the decision shall be considered the final
    decision of the Office.
    (h) Precedents
      A hearing officer who conducts a hearing under this section shall
    be guided by judicial decisions under the laws made applicable by
    section 1302 of this title and by Board decisions under this
    chapter.

-STATUTE-
      The purposes of this chapter are - 
        (1) to strengthen the partnership between the Federal
      Government and State, local, and tribal governments;
        (2) to end the imposition, in the absence of full consideration
      by Congress, of Federal mandates on State, local, and tribal
      governments without adequate Federal funding, in a manner that
      may displace other essential State, local, and tribal
      governmental priorities;
        (3) to assist Congress in its consideration of proposed
      legislation establishing or revising Federal programs containing
      Federal mandates affecting State, local, and tribal governments,
      and the private sector by - 
          (A) providing for the development of information about the
        nature and size of mandates in proposed legislation; and
          (B) establishing a mechanism to bring such information to the
        attention of the Senate and the House of Representatives before
        the Senate and the House of Representatives vote on proposed
        legislation;

        (4) to promote informed and deliberate decisions by Congress on
      the appropriateness of Federal mandates in any particular
      instance;
        (5) to require that Congress consider whether to provide
      funding to assist State, local, and tribal governments in
      complying with Federal mandates, to require analyses of the
      impact of private sector mandates, and through the dissemination
      of that information provide informed and deliberate decisions by
      Congress and Federal agencies and retain competitive balance
      between the public and private sectors;
        (6) to establish a point-of-order vote on the consideration in
      the Senate and House of Representatives of legislation containing
      significant Federal intergovernmental mandates without providing
      adequate funding to comply with such mandates;
        (7) to assist Federal agencies in their consideration of
      proposed regulations affecting State, local, and tribal
      governments, by - 
          (A) requiring that Federal agencies develop a process to
        enable the elected and other officials of State, local, and
        tribal governments to provide input when Federal agencies are
        developing regulations; and
          (B) requiring that Federal agencies prepare and consider
        estimates of the budgetary impact of regulations containing
        Federal mandates upon State, local, and tribal governments and
        the private sector before adopting such regulations, and
        ensuring that small governments are given special consideration
        in that process; and

        (8) to begin consideration of the effect of previously imposed
      Federal mandates, including the impact on State, local, and
      tribal governments of Federal court interpretations of Federal
      statutes and regulations that impose Federal intergovernmental
      mandates.

    Sec. 1513. Impact on local governments

-STATUTE-
    (a) Findings
      The Senate finds that - 
        (1) the Congress should be concerned about shifting costs from
      Federal to State and local authorities and should be equally
      concerned about the growing tendency of States to shift costs to
      local governments;
        (2) cost shifting from States to local governments has, in many
      instances, forced local governments to raise property taxes or
      curtail sometimes essential services; and
        (3) increases in local property taxes and cuts in essential
      services threaten the ability of many citizens to attain and
      maintain the American dream of owning a home in a safe, secure
      community.
    (b) Sense of Senate
      It is the sense of the Senate that - 
        (1) the Federal Government should not shift certain costs to
      the State, and States should end the practice of shifting costs
      to local governments, which forces many local governments to
      increase property taxes;
        (2) States should end the imposition, in the absence of full
      consideration by their legislatures, of State issued mandates on
      local governments without adequate State funding, in a manner
      that may displace other essential government priorities; and
        (3) one primary objective of this chapter and other efforts to
      change the relationship among Federal, State, and local
      governments should be to reduce taxes and spending at all levels
      and to end the practice of shifting costs from one level of
      government to another with little or no benefit to taxpayers.

-STATUTE-
    (a) In general
      Unless otherwise prohibited by law, before promulgating any
    general notice of proposed rulemaking that is likely to result in
    promulgation of any rule that includes any Federal mandate that may
    result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments,
    in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 or more
    (adjusted annually for inflation) in any 1 year, and before
    promulgating any final rule for which a general notice of proposed
    rulemaking was published, the agency shall prepare a written
    statement containing - 
        (1) an identification of the provision of Federal law under
      which the rule is being promulgated;
        (2) a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the
      anticipated costs and benefits of the Federal mandate, including
      the costs and benefits to State, local, and tribal governments or
      the private sector, as well as the effect of the Federal mandate
      on health, safety, and the natural environment and such an
      assessment shall include - 
          (A) an analysis of the extent to which such costs to State,
        local, and tribal governments may be paid with Federal
        financial assistance (or otherwise paid for by the Federal
        Government); and
          (B) the extent to which there are available Federal resources
        to carry out the intergovernmental mandate;

        (3) estimates by the agency, if and to the extent that the
      agency determines that accurate estimates are reasonably
      feasible, of - 
          (A) the future compliance costs of the Federal mandate; and
          (B) any disproportionate budgetary effects of the Federal
        mandate upon any particular regions of the nation or particular
        State, local, or tribal governments, urban or rural or other
        types of communities, or particular segments of the private
        sector;

        (4) estimates by the agency of the effect on the national
      economy, such as the effect on productivity, economic growth,
      full employment, creation of productive jobs, and international
      competitiveness of United States goods and services, if and to
      the extent that the agency in its sole discretion determines that
      accurate estimates are reasonably feasible and that such effect
      is relevant and material; and
        (5)(A) a description of the extent of the agency's prior
      consultation with elected representatives (under section 1534 of
      this title) of the affected State, local, and tribal governments;
        (B) a summary of the comments and concerns that were presented
      by State, local, or tribal governments either orally or in
      writing to the agency; and
        (C) a summary of the agency's evaluation of those comments and
      concerns.
    (b) Promulgation
      In promulgating a general notice of proposed rulemaking or a
    final rule for which a statement under subsection (a) of this
    section is required, the agency shall include in the promulgation a
    summary of the information contained in the statement.
    (c) Preparation in conjunction with other statement
      Any agency may prepare any statement required under subsection

      Intergovernmental Relations

-STATUTE-
    (a) In general
      The Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations shall in
    accordance with this section - 
        (1) investigate and review the role of Federal mandates in
      intergovernmental relations and their impact on State, local,
      tribal, and Federal government objectives and responsibilities,
      and their impact on the competitive balance between State, local,
      and tribal governments, and the private sector and consider views
      of and the impact on working men and women on those same matters;
        (2) investigate and review the role of unfunded State mandates
      imposed on local governments;
        (3) make recommendations to the President and the Congress
      regarding - 
          (A) allowing flexibility for State, local, and tribal
        governments in complying with specific Federal mandates for
        which terms of compliance are unnecessarily rigid or complex;
          (B) reconciling any 2 or more Federal mandates which impose
        contradictory or inconsistent requirements;
          (C) terminating Federal mandates which are duplicative,
        obsolete, or lacking in practical utility;
          (D) suspending, on a temporary basis, Federal mandates which
        are not vital to public health and safety and which compound
        the fiscal difficulties of State, local, and tribal
        governments, including recommendations for triggering such
        suspension;
          (E) consolidating or simplifying Federal mandates, or the
        planning or reporting requirements of such mandates, in order
        to reduce duplication and facilitate compliance by State,
        local, and tribal governments with those mandates;
          (F) establishing common Federal definitions or standards to
        be used by State, local, and tribal governments in complying
        with Federal mandates that use different definitions or
        standards for the same terms or principles; and
          (G)(i) the mitigation of negative impacts on the private
        sector that may result from relieving State, local, and tribal
        governments from Federal mandates (if and to the extent that
        such negative impacts exist on the private sector); and
          (ii) the feasibility of applying relief from Federal mandates
        in the same manner and to the same extent to private sector
        entities as such relief is applied to State, local, and tribal
        governments; and

        (4) identify and consider in each recommendation made under
      paragraph (3), to the extent practicable - 
          (A) the specific Federal mandates to which the recommendation
        applies, including requirements of the departments, agencies,
        and other entities of the Federal Government that State, local,
        and tribal governments utilize metric systems of measurement;

-STATUTE-
      The Congress finds that - 
        (1) responsible representative Government requires public
      awareness of the efforts of paid lobbyists to influence the
      public decisionmaking process in both the legislative and
      executive branches of the Federal Government;
        (2) existing lobbying disclosure statutes have been ineffective
      because of unclear statutory language, weak administrative and
      enforcement provisions, and an absence of clear guidance as to
      who is required to register and what they are required to
      disclose; and
        (3) the effective public disclosure of the identity and extent
      of the efforts of paid lobbyists to influence Federal officials
      in the conduct of Government actions will increase public
      confidence in the integrity of Government.

-STATUTE-
    (a) Agreement by Architect with appropriate State official; covered
      individuals
      Whenever - 
        (1) the law of any State provides for the collection of an
      income tax by imposing upon employers generally the duty of
      withholding sums from the compensation of employees and remitting
      such sums to the authorities of such State; and
        (2) such duty to withhold is imposed generally with respect to
      the compensation of employees who are residents of such State;

    then the Architect of the Capitol is authorized, in accordance with
    the provisions of this section, to enter into an agreement with the
    appropriate official of that State to provide for the withholding
    and remittance of sums for individuals - 
        (A) employed by the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, the
      United States Botanic Garden, or the Senate Restaurant; and
        (B) who request the Architect to make such withholdings for
      remittance to that State.
    (b) Number of remittances authorized
      Any agreement entered into under subsection (a) of this section
    shall not require the Architect to remit such sums more often than
    once each calendar quarter.
    (c) Requests for withholding and remittance; amount of withholding;
      number and effective date of requests; change of designated
      State; revocation of request; rules and regulations
      (1) An individual employed by the Office of the Architect of the
    Capitol, the United States Botanic Garden, or the Senate Restaurant
    may request the Architect to withhold sums from his pay for
    remittance to the appropriate authorities of the State that he
    designates. Amounts of withholdings shall be made in accordance
    with those provisions of the law of that State which apply
    generally to withholding by employers.
      (2) An individual may have in effect at any time only one request
    for withholdings, and he may not have more than two such requests
    in effect with respect to different States during any one calendar
    year. The request for withholdings is effective on the first day of
    the first pay period commencing on or after the day on which the
    request is received in the Office of the Architect, the Botanic
    Garden Office, or the Senate Restaurant Accounting Office except
    that - 
        (A) when the Architect first enters into an agreement with a
      State, a request for withholdings shall be effective on such date
      as the Architect may determine; and
        (B) when an individual first receives an appointment, the
      request shall be effective on the day of appointment, if the
      individual makes the request at the time of appointment.

      (3) An individual may change the State designated by him for the
    purposes of having withholdings made and request that the
    withholdings be remitted in accordance with such change, and he may
    also revoke his request for withholdings. Any change in the State
    designated or revocation is effective on the first day of the first
    pay period commencing on or after the day on which the request for
    change or the revocation is received in the appropriate office.
      (4) The Architect is authorized to issue rules and regulations he
    considers appropriate in carrying out this subsection.
    (d) Time or times of agreements by Architect
      The Architect may enter into agreements under subsection (a) of
    this section at such time or times as he considers appropriate.
    (e) Provisions as not imposing duty, burden, requirement or penalty
      upon United States or any officer or employee of United States
      This section imposes no duty, burden, or requirement upon the
    United States, or any officer or employee of the United States,
    except as specifically provided in this section. Nothing in this
    section shall be deemed to consent to the application of any
    provision of law which has the effect of subjecting the United
    States, or any officer or employee of the United States to any
    penalty or liability by reason of the provisions of this section.
    (f) "State" defined
      For the purposes of this section, "State" means any of the States
    of the United States.

      Secretary of the Senate

-STATUTE-
      Each officer or member of the Capitol Police force whose
    compensation is disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate, who
    performs duty in addition to the number of hours of his regularly
    scheduled tour of duty for any day on or after July 1, 1974, is
    entitled to be paid compensation (when ordered to perform such duty
    by proper authority) or receive compensatory time off for each such
    additional hour of duty, except that an officer shall be entitled
    to such compensation only upon a determination made by the Capitol
    Police Board with respect to any additional hours. Compensation of
    an officer or member for each additional hour of duty shall be paid
    at a rate equal to his hourly rate of compensation in the case of
    an officer, and at a rate equal to one and one-half times his
    hourly rate of compensation for a member of such force. The hourly
    rate of compensation of such officer or member shall be determined
    by dividing his annual rate of compensation by 2,080. Any officer
    or member entitled to be paid compensation for such additional
    hours shall make a written election, which is irrevocable, whether
    he desires to be paid that compensation or to receive compensatory
    time off instead for each such hour. Compensation due officers and
    members under this paragraph shall be paid by the Secretary, upon
    certification by the Chief of the Capitol Police at the end of each
    calendar quarter and approval of the Capitol Police Board, from
    funds available in the Senate appropriation, "Salaries, Officers
    and Employees" for the fiscal year in which the additional hours of
    duty are performed without regard to the limitations specified
    therein. Any compensatory time off accrued and not used by an
    officer or member at the time he is separated from service on the
    Capitol Police force may not be transferred to any other
    department, agency, or establishment of the United States
    Government or the government of the District of Columbia, and no
    lump-sum amount shall be paid for such accrued time. The Capitol
    Police Board is authorized to prescribe regulations to carry out
    this section.

      Police, if the Chief, in the Chief's sole discretion, determines
      that such a bonus will assist the Capitol Police in recruitment
      efforts.
      (2) Amount of payment
        The amount of a bonus under this subsection shall be determined

      regulations of the Board. If the individual voluntarily fails to
      complete such period of service or is separated from the service

      bonus will assist the Capitol Police in retention efforts.
      (2) Amount of payment
        A retention allowance, which shall be stated as a percentage of
      the rate of basic pay of the officer or employee, may not exceed

      retention allowance, shall not be appealable or reviewable in any
      manner. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to
      extinguish or lessen any right or remedy under any of the laws
      made applicable to the Capitol Police pursuant to section 1302 of
      this title.
      (4) Time and manner of payment
        A retention allowance under this subsection shall be paid at

      step who has demonstrated meritorious service (in accordance with
      criteria established by the Chief or the Chief's designee) may be
      advanced in compensation to the next higher service step,
      effective with the first pay period which begins after the date

      (3) No person donating personal services under this section shall
    be considered an employee of the United States for any purpose

      "(c) As soon as practicable after the effective date of this
    section but not later than the close of the sixtieth day after such
    effective date, the Capitol Guide Board shall, out of the assets
    and property transferred under subsection (b) of this section, on

      Guides,
    which exist immediately prior to such effective date. The Capitol
    Guide Board shall dispose of any net monetary amounts remaining
    after the winding up of the affairs of the United States Capitol
    Guides, in accordance with the practices and procedures of the
    United States Capitol Guides, existing immediately prior to the
