    The following discussion of the bill includes general 
information on initiatives and concerns of the Committee and an 
analysis of the total resources estimated to be available to 
the District of Columbia in the coming fiscal year. The 
Committee considered requests from the President for Federal 
funds totaling $358,606,458 in budget authority for the 
District of Columbia appropriation. This amount was contained 
in the Budget of the U.S. Government--2002, transmitted to the 
Congress on April 9, 2001 and modified in a budget amendment 
submitted on September 5, 2001. The President requested: 
$32,700,000 for the D.C. corrections trustee operations; 
$147,300,000 for the D.C. Court Services and Offender 
Supervision Agency; $111,378,000 for the D.C. Courts operations 
and capital improvements; $34,311,000 for Defender Services in 
the District of Columbia Courts; $17,000,000 for payment for 
D.C. resident tuition support; and $15,917,485 for security 
costs related to the September 2001 meetings of the World Bank 
and International Monetary Fund. The Committee recommendation 
totals $408,000,000 appropriated as follows: (1) $17,000,000 
for a program of District of Columbia resident tuition support; 
(2) $32,700,000 for the D.C. corrections trustee operations; 
(3) $140,181,000 for the District of Columbia Courts; (4) 
$39,311,000 for Defender Services in the District of Columbia 
Courts; (5) $147,300,000 for the Court Services and Offender 
Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia; (6) 
$16,058,000 for security costs related to the presence of the 
Federal Government in the District of Columbia; and (7) 
$15,450,000 for security, economic development, education and 
health projects. The Senate bill includes a recommendation of 
$7,154,201,000 for the local budget. In addition to this 
amount, the Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$408,000,000 in Federal funds for the operations itemized

                           GENERAL STATEMENT

    The Committee highly values the priorities of the Mayor and 
the Council of the District of Columbia, and this bill reflects 
those priorities. In testimony before the Subcommittee, the 
Mayor conveyed his priorities for the city; the first among 
them is investing in high quality education. The city's budget 
increases funding for District Public Schools and Charter 
Schools to renovate quality school buildings, and creates 
initiatives to recruit and train highly talented principals and 
teachers. A second major priority of the Mayor is to enhance 
clean and safe neighborhoods through environmental remediation 
and economic development. The Committee supports the city's 
investments in public safety, cleanup of the Anacostia River, 
and health care to the city's most vulnerable citizens. 
Thirdly, the Committee commends the Mayor, Council and Control 
Board for continuing to make a priority the financial 
responsibility and strength of the city. The Committee shares 
the city's priorities in education, the environment, and fiscal 
strength and joins with the District of Columbia in a 
partnership for progress.
    The Committee has a three-part responsibility to the 
Government and the citizens of the District of Columbia and to 
all the people who visit the Capital.
    The first is to carry out the responsibilities transferred 
to Federal authority through the 1997 District of Columbia 
Revitalization Act. Public safety and social services are the 
base of the function of Government in any city. In the capital 
city, the Federal Government shares in the responsibility to 
the citizens of the District, the employees of the Government 
seated here in the capital, and a more broad responsibility to 
all people who visit the capital, to provide services that 
ensure a safe city for all. These agencies play a key role in 
promoting public safety and justice in the District. That 
responsibility entails oversight of four quasi-Federal agencies 
that provide services to the District: the Superior Court and 
the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, the Court 
Services and Offender Supervision Agency, the Office of the 
Corrections Trustee, and the Defender Services Agency.
    The second main responsibility of the Federal Government is 
to act as partner with the city in transitioning the local 
government from the federally-conceived Control Board, enacted 
in the 1995 Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance 
Act, and to ensure the continued financial stability and strong 
management of the city. The District has fulfilled the 
benchmarks set forth in the Financial Responsibility and 
Management Assistance Act to end a control period and return to 
home rule: all obligations arising from the Authority's 
issuance of bonds, notes, or other obligations have been 
discharged; all borrowing by the District from the United 
States Treasury has been repaid; the District government has 
adequate access to short and long-term credit markets at 
reasonable rates to meet its borrowing needs; and the District 
has achieved balanced or surplus budgets for four consecutive 
fiscal years.
    The city has demonstrated the ability to meet these 
conditions resulting in the termination of the Control Board on 
September 30, 2001. However, the Congress has a responsibility 
to engage with the city in transitioning back to local control 
the financial and budgetary oversight and management 
responsibility functions that the Control board provided. Part 
of that transition was addressed in Public Law 106-522, the 
fiscal year 2001 District of Columbia Appropriations Act. The 
responsibility for financial management duties, established by 
the Control Board Act of 1995 and vested in the Control Board, 
were transferred to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. 
These duties include administering all debt and cash management 
of the District government, preparing financial reports and the 
District's annual budget. As the Control Board terminates on 
September 30, 2001, the Committee is determined to ensure that 
the requirements set forth in the Control Board Act continue to 
be adhered to in non-Control years. Additionally, the Committee 
is specifically concerned that the entity identified to ensure 
fiscal responsibility in the District, the Chief Financial 
Officer, also has the appropriate and sufficient tools to carry 
out that responsibility.
    The third responsibility that the Congress has to the 
District of Columbia is to carry out the Constitutional mandate 
to approve the local budget of the District. The Committees' 
view is that the local funds budget presented to the Congress 
by the locally elected officials of the District should be 
approved in whole by the Congress. The city should be allowed 
to use local funds pursuant to local laws, just as any other 
city operates, in that manner.
    In addition to approving the local budget and Federal funds 
for the four quasi-Federal public safety and justice agencies, 
the Committee has approved an initiative focused on reforming 
the District of Columbia Family Court system. The family 
division of the D.C. Superior Court has struggled to meet the 
needs of thousands of children and families in the District. 
Leaders in the city and in the Courts have engaged with 
Congressional child and family advocates to develop reform that 
would support lawyers and judges serving in the Family Court 
Division with the training and expertise necessary to perform 
their functions. In addition, the Committee's recommendation 
provides for the support personnel, equipment and family-
friendly surroundings that are conducive to furthering the 
overall mission of the court.
    The Committee has also included funds for a number of 
projects that promote education, public safety, the environment 
and economic development in the District. For example, the 
Committee has included $1,400,000 to improve communication 
between the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police 
Department, the Capitol Police, the Secret Service and the U.S. 
Park Police.

                district of columbia financial condition

    The District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and 
Management Assistance Authority (the Authority), in accordance 
with the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and 
Management Assistance Act of 1995, Public. Law 104-8 (the Act), 
certified in fiscal year 2001 that the District of Columbia had 
met all requirements for the termination of the control period 
initiated in fiscal year 1995. Chief among these was to produce 
four consecutive balanced or surplus budgets. Overall, the 
District has moved from a negative accumulated fund balance of 
$518,200,000 in fiscal year 1996 to a positive fund balance of 
$464,900,000 at the end of fiscal year 2000, and the fund 
balance is projected to grow to $534,615,000 at the end of 
fiscal year 2001. Also from fiscal year 1998 to fiscal year 
2002, local source tax collections (excluding Federal grants 
and other sources) are projected to increase from 
$3,207,000,000 to $3,558,000,000.
    As of September 2001 the District has created $102,000,000 
in cash reserves and is on track by fiscal year 2004 to have a 
cash reserve equal to 7 percent of it local source budget. The 
District securitized its tobacco settlement projected revenues 
and used all the cash produced to retire general obligation 
bonds. This action will produce debt service savings of 
$684,000,000 over the next 14 years. The cumulative effect of 
these actions has been an upgrade of the District's bond 
ratings to investment grade by all three rating agencies.
    On February 14, 2001, the Authority announced that the 
District of Columbia had met the fourth and final precondition 
for the return of home rule to the city's elected leadership 
and the suspension of the Authority's oversight and management 
powers. With the end of the control period, operations of the 
Authority and its powers are terminated. This means the 
District will be relying heavily on the other entity created by 
Public Law 104-8, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, to 
assure that spending is in line with revenues; financial 
reports and analyses are reliable, produced on time and in 
accordance with sound financial management principles; that 
policy makers have independent financial information on which 
to make policy decisions; and that the District has a strong, 
professional financial management staff.
    As a consequence, the Committee has reviewed the 
implications of the expiring or dormant provisions of the 
Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Act of 1995, 
Public Law 104-8, and related Federal legislation. The 
Committee anticipates that credit markets will closely 
scrutinize the District in light of the end of the control 
period, with an eye toward how this event should affect their 
assessment of the creditworthiness of the District. The Council 
passed D.C. bill 14-089 in an effort to make the Office of the 
Chief Financial Officer a permanent part of the city's 
governing structure. Enactment of this bill requires 
modifications to the Home Rule Act, currently under review by 
the oversight authorizing committees of the Congress.
    Recognizing the substantial progress the District has made 
in complying with requirements to establish cash reserves, the 
Committee recommends modifying these requirements in response 
to the Council-passed budget submitted by the Mayor. These 
modifications allow for the gradual phase-out of the existing 
budget reserve requirement as the District builds its cash 
reserves to the levels required by statute.
    The Committee will continue to work with the District on 
redefining financial monitoring procedures so that the District 
and the Congress receive early warning signals indicating any 
potential financial problems.
    The Committee finds that it is essential that the Chief 
Financial Officer of the District of Columbia have the 
authority to respond appropriately in the event of financial 
mismanagement in the city budget. We note that when such an 
event occurred recently, regarding the fiscal year 2001 
overspending in the District of Columbia Public Schools, the 
CFO utilized an authority that expires on September 30, 2001. 
The Committee is very concerned that such Control-year 
authorities and the means necessary to achieve financial 
stability are expiring and intends to work with the authorizing 
Committees and the District on this issue.
    The Committee urges the Mayor, the CFO and the District 
City Council to continue to work together to ensure that the 
Office of the CFO is properly structured so as to provide the 
city with the necessary, independent evaluation that has proven 
critical to the District's financial stability. It is 
imperative that the District continue to strengthen its' own 
ability to manage spending to not exceed the revenues 
available.

                            public education

    As with every city and state in America, the stability of 
the economic future of the District depends, in great part, on 
its ability to provide a quality education to its children. As 
Congress is currently considering legislation that would enact 
the most sweeping education reform since 1965, the Committee 
urges the Superintendent of the District Public Schools to 
begin to implement programs that are consistent with the goals 
espoused by the pending reform: accountability for results, 
increased investments that get to the classrooms, smaller 
classes, increased local control, increasing numbers of 
qualified teachers, improved early childhood education and 
research-based literacy programs. Several of these concepts are 
reflected in both the Mayor's budget and the D.C. 
Superintendent's Plan for Reform. The Committee hopes that the 
projects funded under this bill will supplement, not supplant, 
the efforts of the District to improve performance in their 
schools.
School Board Reform
    In January 2001, the city's new 9-member school board, 
created by referendum in June 2000, began its oversight of the 
District of Columbia Public School System (DCPS). As one of its 
first official actions, the School Board approved a 3-year 
contract extension for the present Superintendent of Schools. 
The reform-minded Board of Education and Superintendent face 
several challenges including improving special education, 
raising academic achievement and improving the physical 
facilities. The Board is also faced with issues concerning the 
oversight of charter schools and skepticism about the 
effectiveness of a school board comprised of appointed and 
elected members. The Committee commends the School Board for 
their continued efforts to improve education in the District 
and urges them to focus their immediate attention on the 
challenges outlined above.
Teacher Recruitment and Training
    Over the last year, the Mayor and the Superintendent 
continued efforts to fill the remaining 362 vacancies in D.C. 
Public School classrooms. The Committee notes that the D.C. 
budget includes $750,000 to launch the Lead Principals 
initiative--a recruiting drive that will draw highly talented 
principals from across the country to our lowest performing 
schools--and $1,200,000 for the Teaching Fellows program, which 
will help the District recruit and train committed new teachers 
from an array of professional backgrounds. While still in its 
first years, the Teaching Fellows program has proven to be a 
success. The Committee is pleased to report that over 1,200 
people--including ``dot-com'' executives, retired persons, and 
even a few congressional staffers--applied for this program in 
its first year. These are important efforts and the Committee 
commends the Mayor and the Superintendent for their commitment 
to ensuring that every child in the district has the 
opportunity to be taught by a highly qualified teacher.
Support for Charter Schools
    Charter schools were first authorized in the District in 
1996 and have since become a substantial part of the D.C. 
public education system. In the current year, nearly 10,000 
children are enrolled in 40 charter schools, representing over 
13 percent of all public school students. An additional five 
schools are expected to open in the fall of 2001. At the end of 
this school year, nearly one in five students in the District 
will be attending a charter school. Despite this success, the 
D.C. Charter School movement is still faced with numerous 
challenges.
    The development of this new system for public education has 
been complicated by the virtually simultaneous enactment of two 
separate charter school laws--one enacted by the Council and 
the other by Congress. Both laws simultaneously govern D.C. 
Charter schools. The presence of these two laws and the 
difficulty and cost to reconcile them has caused a great deal 
of uncertainty over the last 5 years, particularly in the area 
of public school financing. The Committee urges the Mayor and 
the Council to consider alternatives for addressing the need 
for uniformity in this area.
    In addition, the federally enacted charter school law, 
which takes precedence, calls for the creation of two separate 
charter school authorities. At least seventeen of the existing 
charter schools were chartered by the Board of Education with 
the remainder receiving charters from the federally created 
Public Charter School Board. This dual structure, which exists 
in one-third of States that have authorized charter schools, is 
designed to accommodate concerns that local school boards may 
disfavor charter schools and therefore limit expansion of the 
charter schools.
    The Committee notes that over the past 5 years, the timing 
of payments to charter schools has been extremely variable, 
periodically causing charter schools financial hardship and 
planning difficulties. In several cases, charter school 
operators are left unable to plan upcoming budgets because they 
are uncertain of how the Government will calculate future 
disbursements to their schools. These financial concerns are 
only complicated by the lack of adequate facilities to house 
new and expanding charter schools. In addition, there is 
limited equitable and reliable financing for charter schools. 
The Committee urges the Mayor and the Council to further 
develop legislation to ensure the financial stability of D.C. 
charter schools.
    Finally, the controversy and inconvenience surrounding 
recent closures of District charter schools suggest the need 
for a systematic approach to the development and financing of 
charter schools. While the closing of non-performing charter 
schools is encouraged, charter school authorities should make 
every effort to ensure that parents are given adequate notice 
and assistance in finding alternative placements for their 
children.
    The Committee recognizes that considerable efforts have 
been made in the last year by the D.C. Council, Congress and 
several District government entities involved in charter 
schools to alleviate several of these problems. The Committee 
encourages District officials to continue to work to remove 
these barriers and ensure the growth and long-term success of 
charter schools in the District.
Special Education
    In 1999, a District Court assigned a special master to 
monitor the District's performance in providing for its special 
education students. Soon after Federal intervention, the 
Council of the District of Columbia's Special Council Committee 
on Special Education conducted a study of the flaws in the 
District's delivery of special education services. Among the 
recommendations contained in an unreleased draft report by the 
Special Council were the following: that DCPS strengthen the 
commitment to provide adequate and qualified staff in the 
delivery of special education services; that the DCPS improve 
the management of transportation costs and the dependability of 
transportation services; and that the DCPS improve the process 
to assess and place students with special needs.
    The Committee is concerned that the Council of the District 
of Columbia Special Committee has not yet issued a final 
report. The Council Special Committee was created in April of 
1999 and tasked to issue a report by April 2000. Given the 
impact special education presently has on the budget and the 
administration of the DCPS, the Committee urges the DC Council 
Special Committee on Special Education to take immediate action 
to complete its evaluation and implement a strategy to address 
the problems in the delivery of special education services, 
particularly assessment and transportation services.
Financial Outlook for the District of Columbia Public Schools
    In September of 2001, the Office of the Chief Financial 
Officer reported that the budget of the District of Columbia 
Public Schools was overdrawn in the amount of $81,000,000. Of 
the total balance, approximately $40,000,000 of the amount was 
due to Medicaid expenses that were not reimbursed and the 
remaining approximate $41,000,000 was a result of uncontrolled 
special education fees. A deficit of this magnitude is of great 
concern to the Committee, especially in light of the fact that 
the DCPS has had ongoing financial management problems. While 
there has been some improvement under the current 
Superintendent, the Committee urges the Mayor, the City 
Council, the CFO and the Superintendent of Schools to take 
immediate action to correct the current deficit and develop a 
plan to ensure continued financial stability. The Committee 
directs the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia 
and the Superintendent of the District of Columbia Public 
Schools to report to the Committees on Appropriations of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives by February 1, 2002 a 
detailed description of the overspending in fiscal year 2001 
and a plan to manage the expenditures of the District of 
Columbia Public Schools in fiscal year 2002 and beyond. This 
financial plan shall also include a progress report on efforts 
by the Mayor and the Council to develop a special education 
services financing and implementation plan.

                             receiverships

    During the past year the District government successfully 
moved four agencies from control by court-appointed receivers. 
In September 2000, the District's Housing Authority and the 
District of Columbia Jail Medical Services were returned to 
District Control. Working with the courts and advocacy groups, 
Mayor Williams and his Administration, were able to 
successfully negotiate the return of the Mental Health Services 
and Child and Family Services to District control. Although the 
return of the departments marks a major accomplishment for the 
Mayor, the inability of the two court-appointed receivers to 
make significant progress in the delivery of services also 
played a role in the court's willingness to return 
administrative control to the District government.
    On October 23, 2000, District Court Judge Thomas Hogan 
approved a plan for returning the Child and Family Services 
agency to District control by the summer of 2001. The agency 
has been under receivership since August 1995, following 
findings in LaShawn v. Williams that the agency failed to 
provide adequate supervision of children under its care, and 
that child under its care were abused and neglected. The 
judge's consent decree of October 23, 2000, established 26 
preconditions, and a 6-month probationary period before the 
agency could return to District control. The conditions imposed 
by the consent decree included: prohibiting budget cuts and 
layoffs; increasing the number of home visits by social 
workers; passing of legislation that would place the 
responsibility for investigating abuse and neglect cases with 
Child and Family Services rather than split between the police 
and the agency; developing licensing standards for foster and 
group homes; and elevating the agency to cabinet level status.
    The Child and Family Services Agency Establishment Act of 
2000, was passed on April 4, 2001, elevating the agency to 
cabinet-level status and fulfilling one of the final 
requirements for termination of the receivership. On May 21, 
2001, Judge Hogan entered an order terminating the receivership 
effective July 15, 2001. In addition, Congress is considering 
legislation that would amend and restructure the family court 
division of the District of Columbia Superior Court. The House 
bill (H.R. 2657) and the Senate bill (S. 1382) would increase 
to 15 the number of judges assigned to Family Court, would 
require judges assigned to Family Court to have expertise in 
family law, agree to participate in ongoing training, and serve 
for a minimum term of 3 to 5 years.
    In May 2001, the City Council passed The Department of 
Mental Health Establishment Emergency Amendment Act of 2001. 
Passage of the act was one of the requirements for the transfer 
of the Commission on Mental Health Services back to District 
government control after being under the control of a court-
appointed receiver since 1997. Much of the support for 
returning the agency to city control centered on the receiver's 
inability to adequately manage the agency. A newspaper series 
chronicled the problems of the agency including at least 24 
deaths of group home residents with mental retardation and 
developmental disabilities in 1999.
    Recent media attention has highlighted the continuing and 
urgent need for the improvement of services provided to 
children and families in the District. According to an 
investigation conducted by the Washington Post, 229 children 
have died from 1993 through 2000 after their families had come 
to the attention of the District's Child Protection Services. 
In several of these cases, the child's death came as a result 
of critical errors by social workers, law enforcement officers 
and judges involved in the cases. The Committee remains 
concerned about the condition of the District of Columbia child 
welfare system and urges the Mayor, the Council and the newly 
appointed Director of the Child and Family Services Agency to 
maintain the focus on improving the city's response and 
intervention into child abuse and neglect cases.
    The Committee recognizes that the Mayor has begun to lay a 
sound foundation for real reform of the child welfare system. 
In addition to increasing the CFSA budget to a minimum of 
$30,000,000 to provide critical family preservation and child 
protection services, the Mayor and his staff have worked to 
unify the child abuse and neglect systems in order to 
strengthen investigations and enhance collaboration between the 
Metropolitan Police Department and the Child and Family 
Services Agency. These are important first steps. The Committee 
looks forward to working with the Mayor, the City Council and 
the Director of Child and Family Services in continuing to 
build on these and other reforms.
    Pending reform legislation requires that representatives 
from the departments of the District government related to 
social and family services be available on-site at the location 
of the court. Based on information provided by the District 
government to the Congressional Budget Office, it is estimated 
that 10 representatives would be required to implement this 
provision of the bill. The bill also requires that the Mayor 
appoint a liaison between the Family Court and the District.

                             FEDERAL FUNDS

    A total of $2,108,614,000 in Federal funds are estimated to 
be available to the District government, the D.C. corrections 
trustee operations, the D.C. Courts, the D.C. Court Services 
and Offender Supervision Agency, and other District of Columbia 
entities. A total of $408,000,000 of Federal funds is included 
in this bill. In addition, a total of $1,700,614,000 in Federal 
funds will be received by the District government from the 
various Federal grant programs. In addition, Federal 
reimbursements are received from such programs as Medicaid and 
Medicare.
    The following table summarizes the various Federal funds 
estimated to be available to the District government during 
fiscal year 2002:

   Federal Payment for District of Columbia Resident Tuition Support

    The Committee recommends $17,000,000 in Federal funds for 
the District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Program. Initial 
funding of $17,000,000 for this program was included in the 
Fiscal Year 2000 Appropriations Act. On November 12, 1999, 
Public Law 106-98, the District of Columbia College Access Act 
of 1999, was signed into law. The Act established the Tuition 
Assistance Program, a scholarship fund under the direction of 
the Mayor of the District of Columbia, in consultation with the 
Secretary of Education.
    Under the Act, scholarships are awarded to District 
residents for undergraduate education within 3 years of 
graduation or getting a graduate equivalent degree [GED]. The 
applicant must be a District resident for 12 consecutive months 
before the academic year of the award. Scholarships pay the 
difference between in-State and out-of-State tuition, with a 
cap of $10,000 per student per school year, at public 
universities. Scholarships may also be used for tuition at 
private colleges in the metropolitan area and at private 
Historically Black Colleges and Universities anywhere in 
Maryland or Virginia, with a cap of $2,500 per student per 
year.
    The Department of Education Inspector General August 2001 
audit of the D.C. College Access Act reported that the D.C. 
Resident Tuition Assistance grant program is working to improve 
the number of students choosing to attend college. Last year, 
1,942 students, 1,472 of whom attended public colleges and 
universities, received grants under this program. Because of 
this success, Congress is currently considering legislation 
(H.R. 1499), to amend the District of Columbia College Access 
Act of 1999 to permit individuals who graduated from a 
secondary school prior to 1998 and individuals who enroll in 
higher education more than 3 years after graduating from a 
secondary school to participate in the program.
    The Department of Education IG audit found a growing level 
of unobligated balances in the program. The Committee directs 
the District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Program to submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives by March 30, 2002 providing a plan 
for the allocation of these unobligated balances, including an 
assessment of the impact of H.R. 1499.
    In addition to expanding the number of students served by 
the D.C. Tuition Assistance grant program, the Committee urges 
the Mayor and the City Council to look for ways to further 
develop public/private partnerships, such as the existing one 
with the D.C. College Access Program, as such partnerships can 
dramatically increase access to college. Furthermore, the 
Committee is encouraged by the recent work of city leadership 
to implement college savings programs, such as tuition 
assistance matching programs and tax-free college savings 
accounts.
    The Committee has included new language in the bill 
directing the District to establish a fund dedicated to this 
program, comprised of all Federal funds appropriated for the 
program, including unobligated balances and any interest earned 
on those funds. The fund is to be established in order to make 
sure that all interest earned on these Federal appropriations 
is dedicated to this program.

           Federal Payment to Corrections Trustee Operations

    Pursuant to section 601 of the National Capital 
Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 
(Revitalization Act), the Committee recommends an appropriation 
of $32,700,000 for payment to the D.C. corrections trustee for 
the administration and operation of correctional facilities for 
sentenced adult felons and for the administrative operating 
costs of the Office of the Corrections Trustee. The President's 
budget request for fiscal year 2002 is $32,700,000 for the 
Corrections Trustee operations.
    The corrections trustee is responsible for: (1) financial 
oversight of the operations of the D.C. Department of 
Corrections [DOC]; (2) facilitating the closure of the Lorton 
Correctional Facility in Lorton, VA, by December 31, 2001, and 
the transfer of sentenced felon prisoners from the District to 
the Federal Bureau of Prisons; and (3) assisting the DOC in its 
reformation and stabilization.

Recent Accomplishments of the Corrections Trustee

    During 1999, the Corrections Trustee undertook a review of 
interagency and inter-jurisdictional issues and problems unique 
to D.C.'s current transition, including problems associated 
with the processing of newly sentenced inmates and those who 
are sentenced under both local and Federal statutes. The review 
was in response to an order from the U.S. District Court 
requesting that the Department of Justice investigate and 
remedy the policies and procedures related to these areas. The 
Court's order reflected serious public concerns, including 
those raised in the Congress, regarding the mishandling of the 
highly publicized case of murderer Leo Gonzales Wright, and 
specifically with the commitment processes for Federal and D.C. 
code cases. The 280 page report was released in October 1999 
and was favorably received by both the U.S. District Court and 
the Superior Court, as well as DOC and the Department of 
Justice and its component agencies.
    As a result of this report and the recommendations on 
interagency case processing issues, the former Deputy Attorney 
General requested that the Corrections Trustee coordinate 
implementation of the report's recommendations with all 
affected agencies of the Federal and District governments. 
Beginning in January 2000, the Office of the Corrections 
Trustee organized an ongoing interagency Committee of Federal 
and District criminal justice agencies to improve the 
coordination and logistical planning in various detention 
related processes. This Interagency Detention Work Group meets 
on a monthly basis and includes ranking representatives from 15 
Federal and local agencies, including Judges from both the 
District and Superior Courts. Six separate Committees are 
working very effectively in resolving a number of interagency 
issues and problems and in improving the coordination of 
interagency processes. The progress made and the collaborative 
approach of the agencies involved in this work group were 
acknowledged in a report released to the Congress on May 11, 
2001 by the General Accounting Office, a report which in many 
ways was otherwise critical of the lack of adequate 
coordination efforts in the District's criminal justice system.
    In response to requests from Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes 
Norton and the former Deputy Attorney General in September 
2000, the Trustee's Office coordinated a joint effort of 
several agencies participating in the Interagency Detention 
Work Group to develop and implement a short-term action plan to 
address several immediate problems in the processing of 
offenders being released or those assigned to halfway houses. 
The collaboration resulted in much needed progress in the 
effective elimination of the backlogs of two major categories 
of inmate cases, those beyond their parole dates due to lack of 
available halfway house beds and those ordered to halfway 
houses by the Court as a condition of pretrial work release. 
Although there continues to be a shortage of halfway house 
beds, the enhanced interagency communication resulted in a 
responsive allocation of available beds.
    In fiscal year 2001, in addition to assistance with 
strictly correctional operations, $1,000,000 was provided 
through the Trustee's Office to the District's criminal justice 
system for the implementation of caseload and records 
management improvements. The intent of these funds was to begin 
implementation of some recommendations of a report then 
underway for the District by the Council for Court Excellence, 
a report which was released only in March 2001. The importance 
of this report and its recommendations for the District's 
criminal case processing was emphasized in the new GAO report 
to the Congress cited above. Four major projects are under 
development among several criminal justice agencies. The 
projects include: reinvigorating the MPD citation release 
process and implementing a citation caseload management system 
into the new Justice Information System for D.C. (JUSTIS); 
implementing, and if possible expanding, the MPD Papering 
Reform Pilot Project; implementing a Differentiated Case 
Management System for Misdemeanors and Traffic offenses at D.C. 
Superior Court; and implementing a pilot ``options'' project in 
coordination with the D.C. Commission on Mental Health Agency 
and the Pretrial Services Agency to test the value of adding 
additional mental health services as conditions of pretrial 
release for appropriate non-violent, non-firearm, post-arrest 
mental health offenders. This type of project is a progressive 
approach that is being promoted in other State and local 
governments throughout the Nation.
    One of the successes initiated by the Corrections Trustee 
in concert with the D.C. Department of Corrections 
administration has been in the implementation of a system of 
internal audits and controls within DOC. This system fosters 
the development of policies by which program accountability can 
be assessed. The DOC Director has supported this initiative by 
establishing a permanent unit to oversee the development and 
implementation of the new system. The Office of the Corrections 
Trustee instructed Department of Corrections staff on how to 
develop audit standards in 12 areas that will measure policy 
compliance in core correctional practices as well as focus on 
adherence to national policy standards, such as standards of 
the American Correctional Association, the Occupational Safety 
and Health Administration, and the National Commission on 
Healthcare.
    Finally, the Maximum Security Facility, one of the two 
remaining facilities at the Lorton Correctional Complex at 
Lorton, Virginia, closed at the end of January, 2001, 2 months 
ahead of schedule.

           Federal Payment to the District of Columbia Courts

    The Revitalization Act requires that, commencing in fiscal 
year 1998, the Federal Government finance the D.C. courts, 
including the operations of the D.C. Court of Appeals, Superior 
Court, and the court system. Beginning with the fiscal year 
1999 appropriations act, the Federal Government also provided 
funds for capital improvements. By law, the annual budget 
includes estimates of the expenditures for the operations of 
the courts prepared by the Joint Committee on Judicial 
Administration and the President's recommendation for funding 
the courts' operations.
    The President's recommended level for fiscal year 2002 is 
$111,378,000, which includes $105,243,000 for the courts 
operations; $5,995,000, to remain available until September 30, 
2003, for capital improvements for District courthouse 
facilities; and $140,000 for costs related to workload 
increases resulting from the World Bank and International 
Monetary Fund September 2001 meetings.

D.C. Courts Budget Request

    The D.C. Court system submitted a budget request totaling 
$182,425,059 in Federal funds for fiscal year 2002. The 
operations request of $124,105,059 exceeds the President's 
proposed operations budget by $18,862,059 and would be used as 
follows: $12,429,059, submitted in a supplemental request for 
reform of the Family Court operations and $6,433,000 for 
superior court staffing, equipment and program requests. The 
capital request of $58,320,000 exceeds the President's proposed 
capital budget by $52,325,000, $15,000,000 of which would be 
used for the restoration and renovation of the Old City Hall as 
the new D.C. Court of Appeals, and the balance for ongoing 
capital projects, and creation of Family Court space within the 
existing courthouse facilities.

Committee Recommendation for Operations

    The President's budget proposal recommends $105,243,000 for 
the courts operations. The Courts requested $124,105,059 for 
operations, which includes $12,429,059 for reform of the Family 
Court of the Superior Court. The Committee recommends 
$112,331,000 for the courts' operations, of which $6,642,705 is 
to support reform of the Family Court by hiring additional 
judges, magistrates, clerks and the necessary support staff to 
improve the processing of child abuse and neglect cases in the 
District of Columbia Superior Court.

Committee Recommendation for Capital Budget

    The President's budget proposal recommends $5,995,000, to 
remain available until September 30, 2003, for capital 
improvements for District courthouse facilities. The Courts 
requested $58,320,000 for infrastructure. The Committee 
recommends $27,850,000 for capital improvements to District 
courthouse facilities, of which $16,672,500 is for renovation 
of the Moultrie Courthouse and Buildings A and B to accommodate 
the expansion of the Family Court. Also included in the 
Committee's recommendation is $5,182,500 is to prevent further 
deterioration of the Old Courthouse and for a design to begin 
renovation of the building and $5,995,000 for health 
improvements and maintenance of courthouse facilities.
    The Committee strongly encourages the Courts to include in 
their fiscal year 2003 budget request to the Office of 
Management and Budget a detailed plan for the improvement of 
District courthouse facilities and a proposal for location of 
the Family Court.

Family Court Reform

    Currently there are 4,690 abuse and neglect cases pending 
review before the Family Court Division of the District of 
Columbia. On average, 1,500 more of these types of cases are 
referred to the court each month. Moreover, based on case 
filings since January 2001, the courts expect a 10 percent 
increase in the number of abuse and neglect cases filed. In 
each and every one of these cases, judges are faced with the 
challenge of balancing society's desire for family preservation 
and the ultimate safety and well being of the child. In light 
of the importance of their charge, lawyers and judges serving 
in the Family Court Division should be equipped with the 
background, training and expertise based on best practices 
necessary to perform their functions. In addition, they should 
be provided with support personnel, equipment and surroundings 
that are conducive to furthering the overall mission of the 
court.
    After several hearings on the issue of family court reform, 
the Committee remains committed to securing final passage of 
legislation to improve the Family Court Division of the 
District of Columbia Superior Court. In July of this year, 
legislation was introduced in both the House (H.R. 2657) and 
Senate (S. 1382) to increase the number of judges serving in 
the Family Court to 15 and to require judges to have expertise 
in family law and receive ongoing training in the best 
practices involved in serving children and their families. 
Consistent with the best practice, ``One Family, One Judge,'' 
judges will hear all related cases and will oversee a cause of 
action from its beginning until its end. The Committee 
recommends $23,315,000 for implementing Family Court Reform.
    The Committee urges the Chief Judge to take immediate 
action to develop a plan for the implementation of the reform. 
The Committee approves this funding with the expectation that 
the Courts will use it to develop and implement a plan that is 
consistent with the goals and principles as set forth in the 
pending reform legislation. In the event that the plan produced 
by the court does not comport with best practices, Congress 
reserves the right to take appropriate action.
    The budget proposal for family court reform submitted by 
the D.C. Courts focused on three main uses of funds: the hiring 
of additional staff, renovation and/or creation of a new space 
to house the Family Court and training of existing judges and 
personnel.
    In creating the suggested, Integrated Justice Information 
System, the courts should coordinate with the Child and Family 
Services Agency and other child and family service providers so 
that the final system incorporates both the legal and social 
services provided to the family. Finally, the Committee expects 
the Chief Judge to take advantage of the additional funding for 
capital improvements and create an environment that is 
consistent with the overall mission of the Family Court.

Old Courthouse Rehabilitation

    Restoration of the Old Courthouse at 451 Indiana Avenue is 
an 8-year, approximately $60,000,000 project that began in 
1998. The project will enable the Courts to readapt this 
historic structure to house the District of Columbia Court of 
Appeals, thereby alleviating the critical space shortage for 
the Superior Court in the Moultrie Courthouse, while protecting 
the integrity of this historic structure. The Old Courthouse, 
which was constructed from 1820 to 1849, is listed on the 
National Register of Historic Places and has been designated an 
Official Project of Save America's Treasures, a partnership 
between the White House Millennium Council and the National 
Trust for Historic Preservation dedicated to celebration and 
preservation of the nation's threatened cultural treasures.
    In addition, the National Law Enforcement Memorial has been 
granted legislative authorization to construct a museum on a 
portion of the site. The Courts anticipate working with the 
Memorial to coordinate construction plans.
    The Committee recommends $5,182,500 for the restoration of 
the Old Courthouse. The funds provided in fiscal year 2002 will 
help prevent further deterioration of the structure; permit 
removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials; finance 
historical significance and other studies; and fund the first 
stage of detailed design work and project management costs.
    This investment will improve efficiencies by co-locating 
the offices that support the Court of Appeals and by providing 
some 37,000 sq. ft. of critically needed space for Superior 
Court functions in the existing Moultrie Courthouse, built in 
1978 for 44 trial judges. Today, with 59 trial judges and 15 
hearing commissioners in the Superior Court, 9 judges in the 
D.C. Court of Appeals, additional Senior Judges in both Courts, 
and additional administrative support staff, the main 
courthouse is filled beyond capacity. In addition, the 
Committee recommends a net increase of 18 new staff to 
strengthen the Family Court and improve case processing. It is 
necessary for the Courts to begin the process this year of 
creating a dedicated Family Court space in or near the District 
court facilities, as required in the Family Court Reform Act of 
2001. The Committee directs the Courts to report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the expenditure of this year's appropriation 
for Family Court reforms and capital investments by June 1, 
2002. In this report, the Committee seeks an analysis of the 
expenditure of funding to meet the requirements of the D.C. 
Family Court Reform Act of 2001.

Integrated Justice Information System

    The Committee recommends $500,000 for the Courts to begin 
implementation of the Integrated Justice Information System. 
The Committee is encouraged by the progress the Courts' have 
made in developing a detailed plan for integrating the 18 
different computer systems necessary to track offender 
information and swiftly adjudicate cases. The Committee directs 
the Courts' to coordinate information systems with entities in 
the District of Columbia, especially the D.C. Child and Family 
Services Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department. The 
Committee further directs the Courts' to adhere to the 
recommendations made in the District of Columbia Mayor's Plan 
on Integrating the Computer Systems of the District of Columbia 
government with the Family Court of the Superior Court of the 
District of Columbia, as submitted to Congress.

Quarterly Apportionments

    The Committee directs that the first quarter payment by the 
Treasury to the courts shall not exceed 30 percent of the 
Courts' budget, exclusive of payments for the capital account 
and the pension account. An increased first quarter 
apportionment will accommodate the Courts' large contracts for 
software licenses, janitorial and other services, that require 
funds to be obligated at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Transfer Authority

    The Committee authorizes the Courts to transfer up to 
$1,000,000 between entities within the Federal Payment to the 
District of Columbia Courts account. In fiscal year 2002, the 
Courts will be required to implement a rigorous reform of how 
cases involving children and families are adjudicated and 
significantly reduce the current backlog of child abuse and 
neglect cases. This flexibility will be especially important in 
implementing Family Court reforms.

Reporting requirements

    The courts are directed to submit monthly reports, through 
the General Services Administration, to the Senate and House 
Committees on Appropriations, within 15 calendar days after the 
end of each month, on the status of obligations by object class 
and a monthly personnel summary by position, full-time 
equivalent positions (FTE's), and program/function. The 
obligation report should show, at a minimum, the original 
operating plan, current operating plan, obligations year to 
date, percent obligated, planned obligations year to date, 
percentage deviation from plan year to date, projected total 
obligations end of year, and projected surplus/deficit.
    In addition, the obligation report shall: (1) under the 
Court System Spending Plan, include a breakdown of expenditures 
for the Counsel for Child Abuse and Neglect Program and the 
program of representation of indigents in criminal cases under 
the Criminal Justice Act; (2) include a monthly breakdown of 
expenditures for the District of Columbia courts' capital 
improvements; and (3) where year-to-date obligations exceed or 
fall below the plan estimates by 1 percent or more, include an 
explanation of why a category is over- or under-budgeted.

D.C. courts capital projects

    The Committee directs OMB to report to the Committee during 
fiscal year 2002 on any capital improvements to the District's 
courthouse facilities. The report shall: (1) identify the 
facility undergoing improvement; (2) include a complete 
description of the project to be undertaken; (3) itemize each 
improvement, renovation, or service and its cost; (4) include 
the contracting date, contracting party, and a timeline for the 
completion of each contracted improvement, renovation, or 
service; and (5) identify any design studies for which funding 
is sought.

            Defender Services in District of Columbia Courts

    The Committee recommends $39,311,000 for attorney programs 
for indigent defendants, child abuse and guardianship cases 
administered by the District of Columbia Courts. The 
President's request of $34,311,000 maintains the current rates 
for attorneys and investigators.
    The D.C. Court request of $39,711,000 consists of: (1) 
$29,543,000 for the Criminal Justice Act [CJA] program; (2) 
$9,369,000 for the Counsel for Child Abuse and Neglect [CCAN] 
program; and (3) $799,000 for the Guardianship program.
    The Office of Defender Services request includes an 
additional $5,400,000 in Federal funds, not requested by the 
President, for an increase in the hourly rate paid to attorneys 
and investigators in the CJA and CCAN Programs.

Defender Services Rate Increase

    The Committee recommends an increase of $5,000,000 above 
the President's request to increase the hourly rate of Defender 
Services attorneys from $50 per hour to $75 per hour, and from 
$10 per hour to $25 per hour for investigators. Court-appointed 
attorneys and the investigators who assist them provide 
constitutionally mandated assistance of legal counsel to the 
District's indigent defendants. Promoting equity in the quality 
of legal services provided to District of Columbia residents, 
regardless of economic status, is vitally important to the fair 
administration of justice. It is particularly challenging to 
the D.C. Courts in light of the considerably higher hourly 
rates paid in the nearby Federal court. The Federal hourly rate 
is currently some 250 percent higher for investigators and 50 
percent higher for attorneys. Therefore, the Committee 
recommends an increase to the current Federal rate in fiscal 
year 2002. The requested increase would allow the D.C. Courts 
to provide a more attractive rate for both attorneys and 
investigators, especially needed considering local economic 
conditions. In addition, Criminal Justice Act [CJA] attorneys 
indicate that they are unable to secure the services of 
qualified investigators and often must investigate their cases 
themselves, at their higher hourly rate. The rate paid to 
investigators was last increased in 1988, 13 years ago; and the 
rate paid to CJA attorneys has not been increased since 1993, 8 
years ago.
    Court-appointed attorneys in the Counsel for Child Abuse 
and Neglect [CCAN] serve in family proceedings in which child 
abuse or neglect is alleged, or where the termination of the 
parent-child relationship is under consideration and the 
parent, guardian, or custodian of the child is indigent. The 
assistance of these attorneys is essential to the Courts' 
effort to ensure that vulnerable children are well represented 
in Court and that they are placed in stable, permanent homes 
expeditiously. The increased rate would help attract qualified 
attorneys to the program and provide the first rate increase to 
CCAN attorneys in 8 years.

D.C. Courts Administrative Provisions

    The bill includes an amendment to D.C. Code Sec. 11-
1722((a) requested by the Courts that removes the Director of 
Social Services from direct supervision of the Executive 
Officer. This amendment enhances the Courts' operational and 
financial management capability by fully integrating the Social 
Services Division, which provides juvenile probation 
supervision services, with the Superior Court. This amendment 
to D.C. Code implements a National Center for State Courts 
recommendation that the Courts' budget structure conform to 
their organizational structure to ensure that funding 
corresponds to operational responsibility. The Chief Judge of 
the Superior Court will be able to better coordinate the 
services of the Social Services Division to meet the needs of 
the Family Court reforms. No special supervisory provision is 
necessary, as the Executive Officer manages all non-judicial 
employees through the appropriate Clerk of Court or Deputy 
Executive Officer.
    The amendment to D.C. Code Sec. 11-1723(a)(3) removes the 
responsibility for internal auditing of the accounts of the 
courts from the Fiscal Officer. It implements GAO's 
recommendation in GAO/AIMD/OGC-00-6 that the accounting and 
auditing functions be separated. Internal auditing functions 
will fall under the responsibility of the Executive Officer 
pursuant to the authority conferred by D.C. Code Sec. 11-
1701(b)(2) and Sec. 1703.

Crime Victims Compensation Program

    The conforming amendments to the Crime Victims Compensation 
Act will permit the D.C. Courts to implement the expanded crime 
victims compensation provisions in D.C. Law 13-172, and will 
permit limited administrative expenses of the program to be 
paid from the Crime Victims Compensation Fund.
    The D.C. Appropriations Act, 2000, Public Law 106-113, 
Sec. 160 (November 29, 1999), amended the Victims of Violent 
Crime Compensation Act of 1996 to prohibit payment of 
administrative costs from the Crime Victims Compensation Fund; 
to place the fund in the U.S. Treasury without fiscal year 
limitation; to allow the Court to deposit fines, fees, 
penalties and assessments into the fund for use in the program; 
to require the fiscal year-end transfer of unobligated balances 
in excess of $250,000 to miscellaneous receipts of the 
Treasury; and to ratify payments and deposits made in 
accordance with the Act as thus amended. Subsequent District of 
Columbia legislation, D.C. Law 13-172 (effective October 19, 
2000), amended the Act with respect to increased compensation 
for crime victims as follows: in section 2, to modify and add 
categories of expenses that are reimbursable; to expand the 
definitions of collateral source, victim, and crime of 
violence; in section 7(c), to allow a victim of cruelty to 
children to satisfy the reporting requirement by filing a 
neglect petition in court; and in section 8, to allow 
compensation of up to $25,000 to be applied per victimization 
and to clarify that receipt of compensation will not affect 
eligibility for public benefits.
    Because appropriated funds may only be spent in accordance 
with an Act of Congress, Home Rule Act, Sec. 446; see GAO 
Report to Congressional Requesters, D.C. Courts, Planning and 
Budgeting Difficulties, GAO/AIMD/OGC-99-226, p. 18, the Courts 
could not implement the changes made by D.C. Law 13-172.
    The amendments will provide authority to implement the 
expanded provisions of D.C. Law 13-172 for compensation to 
victims of crime in sections 2, 7(c), and 8, and allow the 
costs of the compensation program to be paid from the Fund. 
Administrative costs paid from the Fund are limited to 5 
percent of the monies in the fund, consistent with cap on the 
Federal Crime Victims grants to States. Allowing administrative 
expenses will ensure the stability of the program and make it 
less vulnerable to the budgetary pressures on appropriations. 
It will allow the program to keep pace with the increasing 
number of claims as a result of the success of the Courts' 
outreach efforts, as well as the processing of supplemental 
payment requests in existing cases, and will provide additional 
funds for personnel, outreach and training.
    The amendments to D.C. Code Sec. Sec. 11-2604 and 16-
2326.1(b) will increase the hourly rate of compensation for 
attorneys appointed under the Criminal Justice Act and Counsel 
for Child Abuse and Neglect programs from $50 to $75, and will 
increase the statutory maximum compensation per case by 
approximately 50 percent.

 Federal Payment to the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency 
                      for the District of Columbia

    The Revitalization Act established the Court Services and 
Offender Supervision Agency [CSOSA] for the District of 
Columbia to assume the functions of the District's pretrial 
services, adult probation, parole, and adult offender 
supervision functions.
    The bill appropriates $147,300,000 for fiscal year 2002 for 
CSOSA. This Federal agency was established by the National 
Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 
1997 (Revitalization Act) to reorganize and operate the 
functions of pretrial services, parole, adult probation and 
offender supervision in the District of Columbia. The funding 
provided will enable CSOSA to enhance its community-based and 
sanctions-based supervision strategy and support the fair 
administration of justice by providing the courts and the U.S. 
Parole Commission with timely, accurate and complete 
information required in their decision-making process. The 
Revitalization Act established the D.C. Pretrial Services 
Agency as an independent agency within CSOSA. Funding for the 
D.C. Public Defender Service, an independent District agency, 
is transferred from this appropriation to the Public Defender 
Service.
    The mission of CSOSA for the District of Columbia is to 
increase public safety, prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and 
support the fair administration of justice in close 
collaboration with the community.
    The Community Supervision Program's operations focus on 
using proven best practices to improve offender supervision and 
reduce recidivism. Caseloads have been reduced and officers 
relocated to community field offices to facilitate close 
supervision. Every offender is assessed to determine both risk 
to public safety and need for treatment and other 
interventions. Conditions of release are enforced through drug 
testing, home and work monitoring visits, and other means. A 
system of graduated sanctions is being put in place to meet 
every violation with a swift and appropriate response. There is 
some evidence that these initiatives are beginning to work. For 
example, parolee re-arrests sustained a 67 percent drop from 
May 1998 through the end of 2000.
    The Committee notes with concern that the 1997 District of 
Columbia Revitalization Act shifted the responsibility for D.C. 
parolees to the United States Parole Commission (USPC). 
Subsequently, the 1998 Phase-Out Act terminates the USPC by 
November of 2002. Additionally, the Committee notes that the 
government of the District of Columbia has proposed several 
modifications to the current structure of criminal justice 
functions performed by Federal agencies as a result of the 1997 
District of Columbia Revitalization Act. The Committee urges 
the District of Columbia and the Congress to begin an 
evaluation of the Federal responsibility to District of 
Columbia criminal justice activities and any modifications to 
be considered during preparation of the fiscal year 2003 budget 
for the District. The USPC currently faces a backlog to process 
cases efficiently with only 15 case examiners to supervise 
9,000 D.C. inmates and over 4,000 Federal inmates. The USPC and 
CSOSA estimate that the current population of 3,300 active D.C. 
parolees will grow to 3,800 next year, and continue to expand, 
with no corresponding expansion of Agency supervision or 
halfway house bed space.
    Specifically, the Committee directs the Office of 
Management and Budget, in the President's fiscal year 2003 
budget, to present an estimate of the termination date of the 
United States Parole Commission and make recommendations for 
how to ensure that continued Federal parole functions provide 
appropriate services to District of Columbia offenders and 
parolees.
    The fiscal year 2001 appropriation provided $112,527,000, 
including $1,908,400 in program increases, for CSOSA. Resources 
were provided to build agency infrastructure, establish and 
improve mission critical programs, enhance drug testing and 
sanctions-based treatment, improve supervision of pre-trial 
defendants and post conviction offenders, expand intermediate 
sanctions and offender reentry programs, to continue planning 
and design proposals for a residential sanctions center, and to 
make improvements in information technology.
    Based on the results the Agency has achieved to date and 
the anticipated outcomes expected in the future, the Committee 
is recommending an increase of $34,773,000 over the fiscal year 
2001 appropriation for the purpose of funding non-policy 
adjustments to base, improving supervision, drug testing, 
intervention and treatment, including funds for defender 
services program enhancements. Funding provided for program 
enhancements supports:
    Supervision.--$3,719,000 and 3 positions to establish a new 
field office east of the Anacostia River, to select and 
implement a significantly improved offender case management 
system and to complete Agency infrastructure upgrades.
    Drug Testing.--$486,000 and 9 positions to enhance drug lab 
capacity and to establish drug testing collection capabilities 
at the community supervision program's new field offices.
    Treatment and Support Services.--$5,297,000 and 1 position 
to provide contractual treatment services and additional 
sanction-based substance abuse treatment;
    Sanctions.--$13,234,000, an additional 92 positions for a 
re-entry and sanctions center so that swift and appropriate 
sanctions can be imposed on individuals under supervision at 
the first sign of relapse, and to improve offender re-entry 
programs;
    D.C. Pretrial Services Agency.--$3,350,000 and 17 positions 
to reduce supervision caseload ratios for high-risk felony 
defendants to complete enhancement of automated case management 
systems, and provide sanctions based substance abuse treatment 
for an additional 400 defendants (approximately a 50 percent 
increase over fiscal year 2001); and
    Public Defender Service.--$2,093,000 and 10 positions to 
provide effective legal and rehabilitative transition services 
through the community re-entry program.

Federal Payment to the District of Columbia for Security Costs Related 
 to the Presence of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia

    The tragic events of September 11, 2001 made both the 
Federal Government and the District of Columbia elected 
officials keenly aware of the absence of a sound and efficient 
plan for protecting the safety and security of the District in 
the event of terrorist attack or other threats to national 
security. Given the strategic importance of maintaining 
stability in the Nation's Capital, the Committee directs the 
Mayor and the Chairman of the Council of the District of 
Columbia to develop, in consultation with the Director of the 
Office of Personnel Management, the United States Secret 
Service, the United States Capitol Police, the United States 
Park Police, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit 
Authority, regional transportation authorities, the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, and State and local law 
enforcement entities in the region an integrated emergency plan 
for the District of Columbia. Specifically, this report and its 
subsequent implementation should address the need for 
coordinated evacuation plans for the 180,000 Federal employees 
working in the District and the release of accurate and timely 
emergency information and instructions to the public. This plan 
should also include a detailed plan for dealing with attacks or 
threats of attacks which involve biological or chemical agents.
    The Committee recommends that the District of Columbia 
Metropolitan Police Department examine technology used in other 
jurisdictions in their evaluation of security needs in the 
District of Columbia. The Committee is aware that the Police 
Department of Austin, Texas is implementing an automated 
gunshot detection system which can provide real time street 
level firearm discharge detection capabilities that allow 
patrol officers to respond within seconds to a specific 
location of a potential gun use incident.

    Federal Payment to the Thurgood Marshall Academy Charter School

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $1,000,000 to 
the Thurgood Marshall Academy Charter School to be used to 
acquire and renovate an educational facility in Anacostia.

       Federal Payment to the District of Columbia Public Schools

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $2,750,000 to 
the District of Columbia Public Schools, of which $2,000,000 
shall be used to implement the Voyager Expanded Learning 
literacy program for kindergarten and first grade classrooms in 
10 schools designated by the Superintendent and to expand the 
existing after school and summer school programs; $250,000 
shall be used to implement the Failure Free Reading program in 
such classrooms as the Superintendent has designated; and 
$500,000 for McKinley Technical High School for a public/
private partnership with Southeastern University.
    The Committee appreciates that a successful transition to a 
comprehensive literacy curriculum that is universal in all 
District of Columbia Public Schools takes time and study. The 
Committee believes that a universal curriculum for literacy is 
in the best interest of children and urges the District to 
consider moving in this direction.

    Federal Payment to the George Washington University Center for 
                   Excellence in Municipal Management

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $250,000 to 
The George Washington University Center for Excellence in 
Municipal Management to recruit and retain additional managers 
from the District of Columbia government to build strong 
leadership and enhance executive capacity within the ranks of 
the local government.

       Federal Payment to the Children's National Medical Center

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $3,200,000 to 
the Children's National Medical Center to improve the physical 
plant of the Medical Center.

Federal Payment for Child and Family Services Social Services Computer 
                            Integration Plan

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $200,000 to 
the Mayor of the District of Columbia to complete a plan on the 
integration of the computer systems of the District of Columbia 
government with the Family Court of the Superior Court of the 
District of Columbia. The Committee believes that the agencies 
which support children and families in the District, to the 
greatest extent practicable, must be able to communicate more 
efficiently to better serve the city.

     Federal Payment for the District of Columbia and Federal Law 
          Enforcement Mobile Wireless Interoperability Project

    The Committee recommends $1,400,000 to the Mayor's Office 
of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and three Federal 
agencies to fund a D.C.-Federal Law Enforcement 
Interoperability Demonstration Project using the Metropolitan 
Police Department's (MPD) current mobile wireless data computer 
server infrastructure, switch and software. Of the total funds 
provided, the Committee provides $400,000 for OCTO's project 
management and the necessary upgrades to the MPD wireless 
server system specifically for this project. Additionally, 
$1,000,000 shall be dedicated to providing participating 
Federal law enforcement agencies, including U.S. Secret 
Service, U.S. Park and U.S. Capitol Police, with associated 
hardware, software, installation, training and, where 
necessary, first-year only wireless access service fees. The 
Committee expects each Federal agency participating in the 
project to fund fiscal year 2003 costs in their fiscal year 
2003 budgets.

   Federal Payment to the Chief Financial Officer of the District of 
                                Columbia

    For a Federal payment to the Chief Financial Officer of the 
District of Columbia, $5,900,000 to be allocated as follows: 
$2,250,000 shall be for payment to the Hazardous Substance 
Research Center South/Southwest for a pilot project to 
demonstrate the ``Active Cap'' river cleanup technology on the 
Anacostia River; $500,000 shall be for payment to the U.S. 
Soccer Foundation for a public-private partnership to for 
environmental and infrastructure costs at Kenilworth Park in 
the creation of the Kenilworth Regional Sports Complex; 
$600,000 shall be for payment to the One Economy Corporation, a 
non-profit organization, to increase Internet access to low-
income homes in the District of Columbia; $500,000 shall be for 
payment to the Langston Project for the 21st Century, for to 
improve physical education and training facilities in 
Anacostia; $1,000,000 shall be for payment to the Green Door 
Program, for capital improvements at a community mental health 
clinic; $500,000 shall be for payment to the Historical Society 
of Washington, for capital improvements to the new City Museum; 
$200,000 for a payment to Teach for America DC, for teacher 
development; and $350,000 for payment to the District of 
Columbia Safe Kids Coalition, to promote child passenger safety 
through the Child Occupant Protection Initiative.

                   Court Appointed Special Advocates

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $250,000 for 
the District of Columbia Court Appointed Special Advocates Unit 
to expand their work in the D.C. Superior Court. The Committee 
urges the Courts to expand and improve the use of Court 
Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) in the Family Courts. 
Currently, only 12 percent of the children in need of CASA' s 
services are receiving them. The Committee is deeply concerned 
about this underuse of specialized and highly trained 
advocates.

         Child and Family Services Agency--Family Court Reform

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $500,000 for 
the District of Columbia Child and Family Services Agency to 
hire additional staff to enhance coordination with the Family 
Court of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, as 
required by S. 1382, the District of Columbia Family Court Act 
of 2001.

                       Administrative Provisions

Federal Payment for Incentives for Adoption of Children

    In the fiscal year 2000 District of Columbia Appropriations 
Act, Congress approved a Federal contribution of $5,000,000 to 
create incentives to promote the adoption of children in the 
District's foster care system. The Committee is recommending 
that the funds appropriated in fiscal year 2000 remain 
available through September 30, 2003, for funding of this 
Congressionally initiated program.
    The Mayor and the City Council have approved a plan for the 
expenditure of the initial funds. Of the total funds $2,000,000 
will remain available for attorneys fees and home study costs. 
The remaining $3,000,000 will be used to establish a 
scholarship fund for adoptive children; establish a private 
adoptive family resource center; and provide for adoption 
incentives and support for children with special needs.
    The Committee commends the Mayor and City Council for their 
efforts to provide for post adoption services, special needs 
subsidies and educational assistance to older foster care 
youth. Each year, over 200 District foster care youth age out 
of the system and less than 10 percent of these youth consider 
college as an option for their future. In addition, the 
District continues to be faced with the challenge of an 
inadequate number of prospective placements for their waiting 
children. Post adoption services and adoption subsidies for 
special needs children are proven incentives for the adoption 
of children. Therefore, the Committee fully supports the use of 
the funds as outlined by the Mayor's plan and urges the newly 
created Child and Family Services Agency to take immediate 
action to implement these programs.

Brownfield Remediation at Poplar Point

    The Committee supports the Mayor of the District of 
Columbia's extensive project to clean-up and develop the 
Anacostia Riverfront, and to that end has extended the 
availability of funds appropriated in fiscal year 2001 for 
Brownfield remediation at Poplar Point. The Committee values 
the long term investment that has been made to target 
environmental clean-up of the Anacosita River and create areas 
for economic development and safe recreation.

                             FEDERAL GRANTS

    The District of Columbia participates as a State, county, 
and city in the various Federal grant programs. At the time the 
fiscal year 2002 budget was submitted, the District estimated 
that it would receive a total of $1,700,614,000 in Federal 
grants during the coming fiscal year.
    The following table shows the amount of Federal grants the 
District expects to receive and the office or agency that 
expects to receive them:

SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FUNDS

                       District of Columbia Funds

    A total of $7,128,393,000 was requested in the budget from 
the District of Columbia for fiscal year 2002 which was 
received by the Congress on July 10, 2001 and printed as House 
Document No. 107-94.
    Based on recommendations in the bill, a total of 
$7,154,201,000 will be available to the District government 
during the next fiscal year. Included in this figure are 
appropriations from local funds, Federal grants, and private

District funds is from Federal payments and revenues from 
various local taxes, fees, charges and other collections 
received by the District government.

                      balanced budget recommended

    The Committee is recommending a balanced budget in 
accordance with the District government's request. It is 
estimated that sufficient resources will be available from 
current revenue authority to finance operating expenses.

                               personnel

    The Committee recommends a total 33,364 continuing full-
time equivalent positions to be financed from District of 
Columbia funds, Federal grants, private and other, and intra-
District funds during fiscal year 2002 consisting of 33,250 
positions under the general operating expenses and 114 from the 
enterprise funds.

                         Workforce Investments

    The Committee recommends $42,896,000 from local funds for 
fiscal year 2002. The workforce investments include the 
estimated fiscal impact of compensation increases for fiscal 
year 2001 and fiscal year 2002 for all District employees, 
union and nonunion.

                                Reserve

    The Committee recommends $120,000,000 from local funds for 
replacement of funds expended, if any, during fiscal year 2001 
from the Budgeted Reserve established by section 202(j) of the 
District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management 
Assistance Act of 1995, Public Law 104-8.

                             Reserve Relief

    The Committee recommends $30,000,000, for the purpose of 
expending funds made available through the reduction from 
$150,000,000 to $120,000,000 in the amount required for the 
Reserve established by section 202(j) of the District of 
Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Act 
of 1995, Public Law 104-8. The Committee supports the Mayor and 
Council's request that $12,000,000 in reserve relief shall be 
available to the District of Columbia Public Schools and 
District of Columbia Public Charter Schools for educational 
enhancements, once certain criteria are met. However, the 
Committee recommends that the remaining $18,000,000 in reserve 
relief shall expended only once the following criteria are met: 
the Chief Financial Officer has certified that the funds are 
available and not required to address potential deficits; the 
Council has passed and the Mayor has signed a local bill 
detailing the expenditure of the funds as a whole or in any 
part; the Mayor has notified the Committees on Appropriations 
of both the Senate and House of Representatives in writing 30 
days in advance of any such expenditure; and that the Emergency 
Reserve established pursuant to Section 450A(a) of the District 
of Columbia Home Rule Act (Public Law 93-198; D.C. Official 
Code, sec. 1-204.50a(a)), has a minimum balance in the amount 
of $150,000,000.

                    Repayment of Loans and Interest

    The bill includes $247,902,000 from local funds for debt 
service costs on long-term general obligation bonds, which are 
associated with the District's borrowings to finance capital 
project expenditures of general fund agencies.

                Repayment of General Fund Recovery Debt

    The Committee recommends $39,300,000 from local funds for 
Repayment of General Fund Recovery Debt for fiscal year 2002. 
The Repayment of General Fund Recovery Debt represents debt 
service associated with financing the District's $331,589,000 
accumulated deficit, as of end of fiscal year 1990.

              Payment of Interest on Short-Term Borrowing

    The Committee recommends $500,000 from local funds for the 
payment of interest and costs associated with borrowings to 
meet short-term seasonal cash needs.

                            Wilson Building

    The bill includes $8,859,000 from local funds for rent and 
security at the John A. Wilson Building.

                Emergency and Contingency Reserve Funds

    The Committee recommends that the Mayor have the ability to 
deposit the proceeds required pursuant to Section 159(a) of 
Public Law 106-522 and Section 404(c) of Public Law 106-554 in 
the Contingency Reserve Fund beginning in fiscal year 2002 if 
the minimum emergency reserve balance requirement established 
in Section 450A(c) has been met.

                    Emergency Reserve Fund Transfer

    The Committee recommends that the Mayor deposit into the 
Emergency and Contingency Reserve Funds established pursuant to 
section 450A of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act (Public 
Law 93-198; D.C. Official Code, sec. 1-204.50a(a)) any amount 
made available pursuant to the Tobacco Settlement Trust Fund 
Establishment Act of 1999 (D.C. Official Code, sec. 7-
1811.01(a)(ii)) and the Tobacco Settlement Financing Act of 
2000 (D.C. Official Code, sec. 7-1831.03 et seq.

                            Non-Departmental

    The Committee recommends $5,799,000 from local funds for 
the non-departmental agency for fiscal year 2002. The non-
departmental agency is a financial entity designed to account 
for costs that cannot be allocated to specific agencies during

\1\ Includes increase of $2,151,000 for Water and Sewer Authority in fiscal year 2001 Supplemental (Public Law 107-20).

                       Water and Sewer Authority

    The Committee recommends $244,978,000 from other funds for 
fiscal year 2002 for the Water and Sewer Authority.
    The Water and Sewer Authority delivers reliable potable 
water and wastewater collection services to the residents of 
the District of Columbia, and wastewater treatment services 
that are essential for public health and safety for the 
District.
    The Committee is aware that various local governments and 
sewer agencies around the country have entered into license/
access agreements for the in-sewer deployment of fiber optic 
cables to provide affordable access to high-speed broadband 
service. The Committee understands that in these cities, 
individual buildings are being connected to the larger 
``beltway'' fiber optic networks by using robotic technology to 
install fiber optic cables through existing, underground sewer 
lines thereby minimizing the need to trench streets, disrupt 
traffic, or destroy valuable urban infrastructure. Furthermore, 
the Committee understands that the technology is promoted as 
posing no significant threat to the effective operations and 
maintenance of the sewer system and the local jurisdiction is 
compensated for the use of its sewer pipes. The Committee 
requests that the District of Columbia Water and Sewer 
Authority complete its evaluation of this technology and 
consider allowing its deployment in light of the potential 
economic benefits and public revenues that it will generate for 
the District.

                          Washington Aqueduct

    The bill includes $46,510,000 from other funds for the 
Washington Aqueduct for fiscal year 2002.
    The Washington Aqueduct collects, purifies, and pumps an 
adequate supply of potable water to the District of Columbia, 
Arlington County, and the City of Falls Church, Virginia.
    The Committee is aware of the concerns about the discharges 
of sediment and aluminum sulfate from the Washington Aqueduct 
drinking water plant into the Potomac River. The Committee 
directs the Washington Aqueduct and Environmental Protection 
Agency, within 6 months of the date of enactment of this Act, 
to submit to the Senate and the House of Representatives 
Committees on Appropriations a report on the environmental 
impacts of these discharges and an analysis of options for 
handling the residual solids from plant operations including, 
but not limited to, off-site disposal and treatment at the Blue 
Plains Waste Water Treatment Plant. The analysis should include 
estimated costs and possible implementation schedules. In 
addition, the Blue Plains treatment option should include, in 
part, a description of how the proposed Combined Sewer Overflow 
Long Term Control Plan tunnel system might be utilized to 
handle the discharge from the Aqueduct.

                      Stormwater Permit Compliance

    The Committee recommends $3,100,000 from other funds for 
Stormwater Permit Compliance for fiscal year 2002.
    The Stormwater Permit Compliance is responsible for 
ensuring compliance with EPA requirements under the District's 
storm water permit issued in April 2000.

                   Lottery and Charitable Games Board

    The Committee recommends $229,688,000 and 100 full-time 
equivalent positions from other funds for the Lottery and 
Charitable Games Board for fiscal year 2002.
    The Lottery and Charitable Games Board generates revenues 
for the general fund and regulates charitable games in order to 
support programs and services for the residents of the District 
of Columbia.

                  Sports and Entertainment Commission

    The Committee recommends $9,127,000 from other funds for 
the Sports and Entertainment Commission for fiscal year 2002.
    The Sports and Entertainment Commission improves the 
quality of life and enhances economic development in the 
District by operating RFK Stadium, managing the non-military 
functions of the D.C. National Guard Armory, promoting the 
District as venue for sports and entertainment activities, and 
supporting youth recreational activities.

                 District of Columbia Retirement Board

    The Committee recommends $13,388,000 and 14 full-time 
equivalent positions from other funds for the District of 
Columbia Retirement Board for fiscal year 2002.
    The mission of the District of Columbia Retirement Board is 
to invest, control, and manage the assets of the D.C. Teachers' 
Retirement System and the D.C. Police Officers' and Fire 
Fighters' Retirement System.

                      Washington Convention Center

    The Committee recommends $57,278,000 from other funds for 
the Washington Convention Center for fiscal year 2002.
    The Washington Convention Center plans to expand the 
revenue base of the District by promoting and hosting large 
national and international conventions and trade shows that 
bring hundreds of thousands of out-of-town delegates, 
exhibitors, and businesses to Washington, D.C.; and to provide 
expanded employment and business opportunities for residents of 
the District.

                         Housing Finance Agency

    The Committee recommends $4,711,000 from other funds for 
the Housing Finance Agency for fiscal year 2002.
    The Housing Finance Agency was founded in 1970 to help 
stimulate and expand the District's tax base by facilitating 
home ownership and rental housing opportunities. The Housing 
Finance Agency accomplishes its mission primarily by issuing 
tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, which lower the cost of 
financing single-family home purchases, and the cost for 
development of rental housing.

              National Capital Revitalization Corporation

    The Committee recommends $2,673,000 from other funds for 
the National Capital Revitalization Corporation for fiscal year 
2002.
    The mission of the National Capital Revitalization 
Corporation is to spur economic development throughout the 
District of Columbia primarily in neighborhoods of need.

                             CAPITAL OUTLAY

    The Committee recommends a net increase of $1,074,604,269 
for fiscal years 2002-2007 (consisting of $872,599,956 from 
local funds, $157,573,178 in Federal grants, and $44,431,135 
from the highway trust fund). Included under the appropriation 
heading Water and Sewer is $152,114,000 for fiscal year 2002 
capital outlay.
    The Committee is concerned that language was included in 
the Capital Outlay portion of the local budget that restricts 
the Federal Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency from 
renovating their facility on the grounds of D.C. General 
Hospital. Within 30 days, the Mayor and Council of the District 
of Columbia are encouraged to develop a plan with Federal 
offender supervision agencies for the appropriate placement of 
facilities which treat or supervise offenders or defendants. 
During the development of this city-wide plan, the operations 
of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency, the 
Bureau of Prisons, or any Federal agency, may not be disrupted. 
The Committee encourages the District of Columbia to engage 
with Federal agencies and community representatives so that the 
city-wide plan reflects that the functions performed by these 
Federal agencies is necessary to facilitate the positive re-
entry of offenders into the city.

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    The Committee has carefully reviewed the 73 general 
provisions that were included in last year's District of 
Columbia Appropriations Act and the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act of 2001 and has reduced the number of provisions included 
in last year's acts to 33. The Committee has deleted 32 general 
provisions because they made a permanent change to law or were 
a one-time provision, five provisions because they were 
inconsistent with home rule, and three provisions because they 
were duplicated in local law.
    The Committee has added three new provisions, Sec. 135 to 
Sec. 137, requested by the District, regarding Integrated 
Product Teams, the ability of the Corporation Counsel to access 
funds in the Antitrust and Anti-fraud funds, and allowing any 
entity of the District government to pay a settlement or 
judgement in an amount less than $10,000.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 109 (new Sec. 106). While 
maintaining the restriction on the use of Federal funds, the 
Committee has modified the section to allow the District of 
Columbia to use locally-generated revenues to lobby the 
Congress or any State legislature. The District of Columbia 
should not be prohibited from operating with locally generated 
revenues in the same manner as any other city or state in this 
country.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 111 (New Sec. 108) to 
increase from 2 percent to 4 percent the amount that the 
District may transfer between local accounts, subject to 
existing reprogramming procedures.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 124 (new Sec. 119). While 
maintaining the restriction on the use of Federal funds, the 
Committee has modified the section to allow the District of 
Columbia to use locally-generated revenues to implement D.C. 
Law 9-114. The District of Columbia should not be prohibited 
from implementing with locally generated revenues a locally 
passed law, a restriction which is not imposed on any other 
city in this country.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 126 (New Sec. 120) which 
establishes a local process for the acceptance and use of 
Federal grants. This modification enhances local control by 
including the Council in the process of reviewing and accepting 
grants. The Committee cautions the District to ensure that 
Federal grants are certified and approved in a timely and 
efficient manner so their purpose may be satisfied.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 129 (New Sec. 122) to 
require an analysis of the Federal supply schedule prior to 
purchases in excess of $2,500, except for certain purchases 
made by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer, the Office 
of the Chief Financial Officer, and the Metropolitan Police 
Department.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 133 (new Sec. 126). While 
maintaining the restriction on the use of Federal funds, the 
Committee has modified the section to allow the District of 
Columbia to use locally-generated revenues to provide 
assistance for petition drives or civil actions which seek to 
gain congressional approval of voting representation in 
Congress for the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia 
should not be prohibited from operating with locally generated 
revenues in the same manner as any other city in this country.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 137 (new Sec. 128). While 
maintaining the restriction on the use of Federal funds, the 
Committee has modified the section to allow the District of 
Columbia to use locally-generated revenues to support programs 
that provide individuals with sterile needles and syringes. 
This District of Columbia has an HIV/AIDS rate over 10 times 
the national average. Over 113 needle exchange programs operate 
in 35 States in this country. Thirty-eight programs in 17 
States receive State, county or local funding. The District of 
Columbia should not be prohibited from using locally generated 
revenues in the same manner as any other city in this country 
to effectively combat the AIDS pandemic.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 149 (New Sec. 132) to 
continue to require prompt payment to court-appointed counsel 
by the District of Columbia Courts. The Committee commends the 
Courts for improving the voucher payment system this year and 
seeks to ensure continued reform in the management of this 
program.
    The Committee has deleted Sec. 150 of the fiscal year 2001 
Act. The General Accounting Office found, in an opinion issued 
August 22, 2001, that Section 150 is temporary legislation that 
expires at the end of fiscal year 2001 due to the absence of 
words of futurity. The GAO opinion states, in part, 
``Appropriations acts by their nature are non permanent 
legislation. See, e.g., 70 Comp. Gen. 351, 352 (1991): B-
271412, June 13, 1996. Accordingly, provisions in 
appropriations acts are presumed effective only for the covered 
fiscal year. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals recently 
stressed that to rebut this presumption, Congress would need to 
clearly indicate its intent that a provision is permanent. 
Williams v. United States, 240 F.3d 1019, 1027 (Fed. Cir. 
2001)''. The GAO goes on to state that, ``In the absence of 
words of futurity, provisions in appropriation acts are rarely 
construed as permanent. See United States v. Vulte, 233 U.S. 
509, 514 (1914)''. The President's fiscal year 2002 Budget 
proposed to delete Section 150.
    The Committee retained Sec. 158 (New Sec. 133) to require 
the Mayor to report to Congress on a quarterly basis regarding 
specific quality of life indicators in the District of 
Columbia. The Congress is disappointed that the District was 
unable to produce timely and complete reports throughout fiscal 
year 2001 and retained the provision to emphasize the 
Committee's interest in understanding and evaluating 
improvements in District quality of life. The District of 
Columbia has asserted improvements in these areas as proof that 
the city is able to undertake increased local control and 
autonomy. The Committee finds that a report on the quality of 
life in the District is necessary to evaluate improvements.
    The Committee has modified Sec. 159 (New Sec. 134) to 
require the District to maintain budgeted, emergency and 
contingency reserves. The Committee recommends the District 
deposit funds into the contingency reserve at the point that 
the emergency reserve has been funded at the required 4 percent 
of the operating budget, which is expected to occur during 
fiscal year 2002.
