GENERAL STATEMENT AND SUMMARY

The Committee recommends new budget (obligational authority)

of $1,943,008,000 for the legislative branch, for fiscal year 2002.

This total is $103,875,000 below the budget request and

$103,143,000 above the fiscal year 2001 level. The bill excludes

House items pursuant to the normal protocol.

The bill includes $1,094,296,000 for title I, Congressional Operations, exclusive of House items. This includes $603,735,000 for the

Senate, $13,940,000 below the revised request. Within title I is

$155,903,000 for the Architect of the Capitol, $67,636,000 below

the request primarily due to the decision to defer funding for the

Capitol Dome renovation project and lower estimates for personal

services costs. Full funding has been provided to the Congressional

Budget Office and the Congressional Research Service.

Title II, Other Agencies, totals $848,712,000, a reduction of

$16,399,000 below the request. Within title II, highlights include

$419,843,000 for the General Accounting Office, $7,951,000 below

the request and $35,823,000 above the enacted level. The increase

will enable GAO to staff up to its authorized level of 3,275 FTEs.

For the Library of Congress, the $362,059,000 is recommended,

$1,088,000 below the request.

The Committee expects all agencies to notify the Committee of

any significant departures from budget plans presented to the

Committee in any agency’s budget justifications. In particular,

agencies funded through this bill are required to notify the Committee prior to each reprogramming of funds in excess of $250,000

between programs, activities, or object classifications. This includes

cumulative reprogrammings that together total at least $250,000

from or to a particular program, activity, or object classification.

The Committee desires to be notified of reprogramming actions

which involve less than the above-mentioned amounts if such actions would have the effect of changing an agency’s funding requirements in future years or if programs or projects specifically

cited in the Committee’s reports are affected.

The Committee also expects all agencies to submit operating

plans for the Committee’s approval within 30 days of the bill’s enactment.

The detail by major support agency is as follows:

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 270,494,000

1 Reflects rescission of $1,274,000 per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation for fiscal year

2002 of $270,494,000 for the Senators’ Official Personnel and Office

Expense Account.

This account funds salaries and benefits of Senators’ staffs as

well as the office expense allowance for Senators’ offices. These

funds were formerly carried under several accounts including: ‘‘Administrative, clerical and legislative assistance to Senators;’’ ‘‘Agen-
20

cy contributions,’’ under the heading ‘‘Salaries, officers and employees;’’ and ‘‘Official office expense allowances.’’ Those separate appropriations were merged into this single account in Public Law

100–137.

The Senators’ official personnel and office expense allowance

[SOPOEA] is comprised of three components. Two of these are for

salaries of personnel in Senators’ offices. The allowance for administrative and clerical assistance is based on the population of

States, beginning with States with a population of fewer than 5

million people to States with a population of 28 million or more.

The table illustrates the allowances per population category and

the States which fall into those categories.

The second component of the salaries allowance is for legislative

assistance to Senators, as authorized by Public Law 95–94. This allowance provides funding for three positions in each Senator’s office

at an annual rate of $140,559 for a total of $421,677 per office, or

$42,167,700 for all 100 Senators.

The third component of the SOPOEA is for office expenses. Each

Senator’s office is allocated an amount for office expenses, as displayed in the following table, including the Committee on Rules

and Administration’s reallocations of the official mail. In addition,

an amount of $200,000 is provided to cover additional expenses

that may be incurred in the event of the death or resignation of a

Senator, and to provide for transitional expenses during election

years subject to regulations set by the Committee on Rules and Administration with respect to official mail.

It should be noted that the amounts provided for the various

components of the SOPOEA are entirely fungible. Amounts provided for salaries may be used for expenses, and vice versa, subject

to regulations set by the Committee on Rules and Administration

with respect to official mail. It should also be noted that the figures

in the following table are preliminary, and that official notification

of member budgets is issued by the Financial Clerk of the Senate

after final passage of this bill.

The following table illustrates the several components of the

SOPOEA.

According to the most recent employment data compiled by the

Secretary of the Senate, as of April 30, 2001, there were 3,984 individuals employed in Senators’ offices throughout the United States

and covered by this appropriation.

U.S. Senate Senators’ staff as of September 30, 1992–2000 and April 30, 2001.

In addition to providing funds for compensation of employees

within Senators’ offices, this appropriation also provides for agency

contributions for those employees; that is, the Senate’s share, as an

employer, of the various employee benefit programs for which Senate employees are eligible. These payments are mandatory, and

fluctuate according to the programs in which employees are enrolled, the level of compensation, and the degree of participation.

Budget requests for this account prepared by the Financial Clerk

must be based on both experience and evaluation of trends. The fiscal year 2002 request for this account anticipates $64,282,000 in

agency contribution costs.

The amount recommended by the Committee for the SOPOEA is

less than would be required to cover all obligations that could be

incurred under the authorized allowances for all Senators. The

Committee is able to recommend an appropriation of a lesser

amount than potentially necessary because Senators typically do

not obligate funds up to the absolute ceiling of their respective allowances. In fact, a number of offices spend less than their total

allowances. Evidence of this can be found in the semiannual report

of the Secretary of the Senate. At the direction of this Committee

in the Fiscal Year 1996 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, the

Secretary’s report now includes summary information on each Senator’s authorized allowance, expenditures made, and the balance, if

any.

In the alternative, the Committee could recommend an appropriation to fund fully the sum total of all the authorized allowances. For fiscal year 2002, that would mean an appropriation of

$290,494,000, $20,000,000 more than recommended.

SENATE OFFICIAL MAIL COSTS

Appropriations, 2001 ............................................................................. $300,000

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 300,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 300,000

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

budget request.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

SEC. 1. This provision authorizes 2 additional consultants each

for the majority and minority leaders, and authorizes an additional

consultant for the President Pro Tempore.

SEC. 2. This section authorizes a student loan repayment program for the Senate. In attempting to attract and retain qualified

individuals to work in the Federal Government, in 1990 Congress

created a student loan repayment program for executive branch

agencies (Public Law 101–510). The Committee recognizes that

members, Senate Committee offices and the internal support operations of the Senate must be as successful as the executive branch

in attracting and retaining qualified employees. The Committee intends for this program to be a tool for recruitment and retention

purposes, and a benefit to employees, not an entitlement.
23

SEC. 3. This section provides that agency contributions for the

Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control be paid by the

‘‘Salaries, Officers and Employees’’ account.

SEC. 4. This is a technical provision which will bring consistency

to the treatment of telecommunications expenses, which are now

obligated based on the end date of the service period, rather than

the initial date of the service period as is the case for other administrative expenses of Senate offices.

SEC. 5. This provision increases the administrative expense limitation to $100,000 each for the Conference of the Majority and Conference of the Minority.

SEC. 6. This provision increases by $50,000 the allowance for administrative and clerical assistance.

JOINT ITEMS

JOINT ECONOMIC COMMITTEE

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 3,424,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 3,424,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,424,000 for

the Joint Economic Committee. This is an increase of $109,000 over

the enacted level to provide for cost-of-living increases for current

staffing levels.

JOINT COMMITTEE ON TAXATION

Appropriations, 2001 ............................................................................. $6,416,000

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 6,733,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 6,733,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,733,000 for

salaries and expenses of the Joint Committee on Taxation. This is

an increase of $317,000 over the enacted level to accommodate costof-living increases and a 1 percent meritorious pay increase.

OFFICE OF THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN

Appropriations, 2001 ............................................................................. $1,831,000

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 1,765,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,765,000

The Committee recommends the appropriation of $1,765,000 for

the Office of the Attending Physician. The Office was first established by House Resolution 253, adopted December 5, 1928. The decrease below the enacted level is attributable to lower equipment

expenditures projected for fiscal year 2002.

‘‘Capitol Police Board.’’

CAPITOL POLICE

SALARIES

Appropriations, 2001 ............................................................................. $99,140,000

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 111,922,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 112,922,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $112,922,000 for

the salaries of the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), of which $55,296,000

is for the Capitol Police appointed by the Sergeant at Arms of the

House and $57,626,000 is for the Capitol Police appointed by the

Senate Sergeant at Arms.

The amount provided covers salaries, benefits, and overtime

costs. Capitol Police personnel are also eligible for hazardous duty

pay, a clothing allowance, and comparability pay similar to locality

pay adjustments granted other Federal law enforcement personnel

in the Washington, DC, area. Capitol Police personnel on the Senate detail are the only Senate employees eligible for such comparability pay.

The USCP’s 2000 review of the 1998 U.S. Capitol Security Review identified an optimum staffing level of 1,694 FTEs. Therefore,

the Committee is disappointed the USCP will not hire up to the

staffing level recommended in fiscal year 2001. Total staffing is expected to remain at 1,402 FTEs in fiscal year 2001. Therefore, the

USCP has revised its estimate for hiring in fiscal year 2002 to 79

additional staffing, for a total of 1,481, the number it had originally

expected to attain in the current fiscal year. The Committee has reduced the budget request by $4,000,000 to reflect this revised staffing estimate.

The Committee has recommended $5,000,000 for comparability

pay, including $2,350,000 for House salaries and $2,650,000 for

Senate salaries. This increase provides for comparability in the pay

scales of the USCP and the U.S. Park Police and Uniformed Secret

Service.

GENERAL EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2001 ............................................................................. $6,757,000

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 10,394,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 12,394,000

The Committee recommends $12,394,000 for general expenses of

the Capitol Police. Expenses include office supplies and equipment,

laundry and dry-cleaning, communications, motor vehicles, uniforms and equipment, investigations, training, and miscellaneous

items.

Of the amount provided, $3,637,000, the increase over last year’s

level is attributable to additional training requirements, including

increasing officer training by 40 hours per year, and recapitalizing

and augmenting training equipment and supplies; expenses related

to the recruitment of new officers; and improving the USCP admin-
25

istrative infrastructure to improve accountability of funds and for

other purposes.

The Committee has included $2,000,000 for the accelerated upgrade and installation of a new networked In-Place Monitoring System.

The Committee fully supports the USCP’s plans to replace the

remaining foreign-manufactured motorcycles with 24 Americanmade motorcycles and recommends $168,000 for this purpose.

The Committee directs that USCP procure a visual alarm management system in fiscal year 2002 to enhance significantly security capabilities not possible with conventional management systems.

Over the years, the perimeter of the Capitol Hill Campus, including the jurisdiction of the Capitol Police, has expanded well beyond

the Capitol building, and the Senate and House office buildings.

Within this perimeter are multiple police forces—including the

Capitol Police, the Library of Congress Police, and the Government

Printing Office Police. The importance of consistently applied security policies and practices, efficient management of resources, and

fair and equitable treatment of law enforcement personnel suggests

the need for an updated evaluation of the feasibility of consolidating all Capitol Hill police forces. Therefore, the Committee directs that GAO, in consultation with all stakeholders, conduct a

study of the feasibility of consolidating all Capitol Hill police forces

into a single entity. This study should assess the management,

structural, human capital, and operational aspects of merging the

uniformed services and administrative components of the Capitol

Hill police forces, including the responsibilities that are unique to

each of the agencies (e.g., the Librarian of Congress’ responsibility

for collection security). The study also should identify issues to be

addressed prior to merging the Capitol Hill police forces to ensure

an orderly transition, including the protection of the rights of affected staff. It should also include recommendations concerning the

cost effectiveness, efficiency, and desirability of a Capitol Hill police

force consolidation. GAO should report to the Committee and the

Capitol Police Board not later than 6 months after enactment of

this Act.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

The Committee has included the routine provision (Sec. 101)

which allows for funds to be transferred between the ‘‘Salaries’’ and

‘‘General expenses’’ accounts.

‘‘Statements on Appropriations,’’ for the first session of the 107th

Congress. These volumes show annual appropriations made, indefinite appropriations, and contracts authorized, along with a chronological history of regular appropriations bills. The volumes are compiled jointly by the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations pursuant to a directive in the Legislative Appropriations Act

of June 7, 1924.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,059,000 for

the salaries and expenses of the Office of Compliance, as authorized by section 305 of Public Law 104–1, the Congressional Accountability Act of 1996. This amount is an increase of $243,000

over fiscal year 2001, will accommodate a 3.7 percent cost-of-living

increase and funding for 15 FTEs.

1 Reflects $63,000 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $30,680,000 for

the Congressional Budget Office. The amount recommended represents an increase of $2,250,000 or 7.9 percent above the fiscal

year 2001 level. Most of the increase is attributable to non-discretionary pay and benefit increases. In addition, the amount would

provide for 4 additional staff, for a total of 232 FTEs.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

SEC. 102. This provision authorizes CBO to establish an employee training program similar to that authorized for the Executive Branch.

SEC. 103. This provision authorizes CBO to sell older equipment

and apply the proceeds to the purchase of new equipment used for

the same purpose.

SEC. 104. This program authorizes the Director of CBO to establish a Student Loan Repayment Program, as the executive branch
27

has had the authority for since 1990, within available funds. The

purpose of this program is to improve recruitment and retention of

highly qualified personnel with expertise necessary to perform

CBO’s unique mission. The provision authorizes CBO to repay student loans with the same limited caps as required by the statute

governing the executive branch.

ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

The Committee has recommended a funding level of

$155,903,000 for all activities of the Architect of the Capitol pertaining to direct support of the Congress. Excluded are House

items which are traditionally left for consideration by that body.

Additional funds are recommended in title II of the bill for the Architect’s activities relative to the structural and mechanical care of

the Library’s buildings and grounds, and the Botanic Garden.

The following table shows the request and the Committee recommendation:

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2001 1 ........................................................................... $44,624,000

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 111,835,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 55,000,000

1 Reflects $98,000 rescission and $1,033,000 supplemental per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $55,000,000 for

salaries and expenses for the Architect of the Capitol, the Assistant

Architect of the Capitol, other personal services, surveys and studies in connection with activities under the care of the Architect,

and necessary expenses for the maintenance, care, and operation of

the Capitol electrical substations of the House and Senate office

buildings. Of this, $5,000,000 is available until expended. The
28

amount provided includes $45,000,000 for the operating budget and

$10,000,000 for the capital budget.

The Committee has not approved the AOC’s full request for additional personnel funds, because funding for staffing levels provided

in fiscal year 2001 were not achieved. In fact, over $7,000,000

budgeted for staff has been reallocated by the Architect—without

the Committee’s approval—into non-personnel activities. Therefore,

the Committee has reduced the personal services budget in this account by $4,136,000 below the request. However, the amount provided represents an increase of $1,759,000 or 7 percent over the

current year estimate and the Committee expects these funds will

be used to hire key personnel in such areas as financial management and worker safety. No funds are to be reprogrammed from

worker safety-related activities.

The Committee has not funded the full request for Phase II of

the Capitol Dome rehabilitation project at the Architect’s request,

as the Architect has indicated this project should be postponed. Instead, funding for painting and related work needed in the interim,

totaling $1,605,000, is recommended. The Committee has included $8,395,000 for capital projects other

than the painting of the Capitol Dome. None of these funds are to

be expended prior to the submission of a detailed justification and

prioritization to the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations and prior approval of the Committees. The Committee expects

the highest priority will be placed on safety and security needs.

The Committee directs the Architect to submit on a quarterly

basis the status of all ongoing capital projects including funds allocated, unobligated balances, original planned completion date, and

current anticipated completion date.

Any improvements or changes in information technology on the

Senate side of the Capitol must be coordinated with the Committee

on Rules and Administration and the Senate Sergeant at Arms.

Management issues.—The Committee is very troubled by persistent management shortcomings within the Architect of the Capitol’s operation, including an unacceptably high level of worker injuries; inadequate financial management; the lack of strategic planning; personnel problems, including some unqualified individuals in

key positions; and project management.

The Committee is very troubled that the Architect of the Capitol

does not engage in long-term strategic planning. For example, the

Architect of the Capitol has taken a reactive approach to the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, waiting for citations from the

Office of Compliance rather than developing a strategy for compliance. The Committee directs the Architect to submit a report on its

long-range plan for complying with the Congressional Accountability Act, including a timeline.

Over the past several years, Congress has passed legislation such

as the Government Performance and Results Act and the Chief Financial Officers Act, with the intent of improving the overall management and efficiency of the Federal Government. Some legislative agencies, while not required to, have elected to implement

these laws because they view them as prudent management practices. The Committee strongly recommends that the AOC follow

these management ‘‘best practices.’’
29

In addition, the Architect does not have a long-term capital plan,

despite its reference to its capital budget as a 5-year plan. In reality, the projects and associated funding change dramatically from

year-to-year leaving the Congress without a clear vision of its longrange capital requirements and priorities. The Architect is directed

to contract within 30 days of enactment of this Act for necessary

expertise to develop a 5-year master plan for the Capitol complex.

Worker safety.—With respect to worker safety, the AOC’s injury

rate is the highest in the Federal Government—17.9 injuries per

100 workers—355 cases last year—compared to the Federal Government rate of 3.95. The Committee expects that life safety issues

will be a top priority, and directs the Architect to submit a quarterly progress report and to conduct root cause analysis that will

enable a better understanding of the nature and cause of such injuries. The Committee expects the AOC to strive to attain a pristine

worker safety record befitting the U.S. Congress.

Chief Financial Officer.—The Architect of the Capitol urgently

needs a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to begin essential financial

management reforms. Recent efforts by the Architect to appoint a

CFO have been unsuccessful. The Committee directs the Architect

to consult with the Comptroller General in filling this critical position. The Committee expects the Comptroller General, or his designee to participate in the announcement, interview, and selection

process of a qualified individual for this position. Bill language has

been included requiring that the Architect appoint a CFO not later

than 90 days after enactment of this Act. In the meantime, the Architect is to consult with the Comptroller General regarding alternative ways of meeting urgent financial management needs including the possible detail of a GAO employee to the AOC until a CFO

can be appointed.

Recycling Program.—The Committee is troubled that the Senate

Waste Recycling Program has not improved in the last year and

prior-year report language on this program seemingly has been ignored. The Architect of the Capitol is directed to participate in a

program being jointly developed and implemented by the Secretary

of the Senate and the Senate Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper

and approved by the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration to educate staff on how to properly recycle. Further, the Architect is directed to contract for a best-practices review of its recycling program and recommendations for improvement, and to submit quarterly reports to the Committee on the status of the recycling program.

Parking.—The Committee is concerned that the Architect of the

Capitol has failed to consider adequately the implications of its

capital projects on parking within the Capitol complex. In order for

the Sergeant at Arms to plan for alternative parking needed due

to the displacement of parking caused by capital projects, the Sergeant at Arms needs timely and accurate advance notice. The Committee directs the Architect of the Capitol to make this a priority

and to notify the Senate Sergeant at Arms of all construction

projects that may now or in the next 5 years have an impact on

Senate parking services. The Architect of the Capitol is to work in

cooperation with the Sergeant at Arms to develop a strategic plan

which ensures that parking needs are met for the Senate.
30

Biobased products.—The Committee encourages the Architect of

the Capitol and the Sergeant at Arms to use environmentallyfriendly biobased products wherever practical in the maintenance,

cleaning and new construction of the Capitol and Senate facilities.

Biobased products, made from soybeans, corn, wheat, forestry and

other natural materials, offer numerous environmentally friendly

ways to clean, lubricate, construct and provide energy for Federal

facilities. They can help reduce air and water pollution, curtail

waste disposal problems and reduce potentially toxic substances in

buildings and the environment at large. These products can also

offer improved performance and potential cost savings.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 6,000,000

1 Reflects $12,000 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,000,000 for

Capitol Grounds for the care and improvements of the grounds surrounding the Capitol, the Senate and House office buildings, and

the Capitol Power Plant. The recommendation includes $5,300,000

in operating funds and $700,000 for the capital budget.

Again, the Committee has reduced the budget for personal serv- ices below the request level, by $500,000, owing to the Architect’s

failure to utilize fully its personnel budget for the current fiscal

year.

Pursuant to the normal protocol, the Committee has not included

funding for House items.

The Committee directs that no new Senate projects or activities

be undertaken with funds provided in this or previous appropriations acts without the prior written approval of the Committee, and

that the Committee be notified in writing in advance of any new

Senate projects or activities to be undertaken with the funds provided for annual maintenance, repairs, alterations, or miscellaneous improvements.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $47,500,000 for

maintenance of the Senate office buildings. The decrease below the

enacted level is attributable to the completion of the Dirksen building renovation, for which approximately $19,000,000 was provided

in fiscal year 2001. Of the total, $3,400,000 is available until expended.

The appropriation includes $42,000,000 for the operating budget

and $5,500,000 for the capital budget.

The Committee has again reduced the request for personal services, by $3,637,000 in this account, owing to the fact that over

$2,700,000 in funds provided last year for this account were reallocated out of personnel funds into other activities. The amount rec-
31

ommended does, however, represent an increase of $1,645,000 over

the current budget. This increase is to be used to fill critical positions in such areas as life safety.

The Committee has not recommended a specific allocation of the $5,500,000 capital budget. Instead, the Architect of the Capitol is

to submit a detailed justification and prioritization for the allocation of funds. No funds are to be spent prior to the approval of the

Committee.

All information technology related projects must first be coordinated with the Senate Sergeant at Arms.

The Committee is pleased with the Architect of the Capitol’s

management of the Dirksen renovation project and expects this

model to be followed in other capital projects wherever possible.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 47,403,000

1 Reflects $87,000 rescission per Public Law 106–554. 2 Includes a pending budget amendment of $3,300,000 for the West Refrigeration Plant expansion (∂$3,550,000) and coal hauling (¥$250,000).

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $47,403,000 for

the operations of the Capitol Power Plant. This is supplemented by

$4,400,000 in reimbursements. Of the amount provided, $3,300,000

shall remain available until expended. The recommendation includes $42,578,000 for the operating budget and $4,825,000 for the

capital budget.

The amount recommended for the operating budget reflects a re- duction of $2,372,000 from the water and sewer payment included

in the budget request for a 1990 arrearage which will be paid in

fiscal year 2001 through reprogrammings. The amount also reflects

a reduction of $624,000 in personal services below the request,

owing to the fact that $370,000 in funds provided last year for this

account were reallocated out of personnel funds into other activities.

Approximately 80 percent of the recommended amount is for the

purchase of electricity from the local private utility, payment to the

government of the District of Columbia for the provision of water

and sewer services, and the procurement of boiler fuel, as displayed

in the following table.

Fiscal year 2002 estimated utility costs

Purchase of electrical energy ................................................................ $23,350,000

Purchase of natural gas ........................................................................ 7,127,000

Water and sewer payments .................................................................. 4,249,000

Total ............................................................................................. 39,270,000

The balance of this appropriation supports a work force to operate and maintain the Power Plant. The Power Plant provides heat,

light, power, and air-conditioning for the Capitol, Senate and

House office buildings, and the Library of Congress buildings; heat,

light, and power for the Botanic Garden and the Senate and House
32

Garages; light for the Capitol Grounds’ street, park, and

floodlighting system; steam heat for the Government Printing Office and Washington City Post Office, also known as Postal Square;

and steam heat and air-conditioning for the Union Station complex,

Folger Shakespeare Library, the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, and the U.S. Supreme Court Building on a reimbursable basis.

No funds within the capital budget are to be spent prior to approval by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of

a detailed justification and prioritization for each project.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $81,139,000 for

the Congressional Research Service. The amount recommended is

an increase of $7,709,000 over the fiscal year 2001 level. Approximately $4,220,000 of this increase is needed for mandatory cost-ofliving and other pay and inflation-related increases. The balance is

needed to acquire the technical staff, skills and tools necessary to

address complex information and technology policy issues, to conduct collaborative research, and to apply technology to work and

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 6,129,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 5,829,000

1 Reflects $7,000 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends $5,829,000 for salaries and expenses

of the Botanic Garden. The increase of $2,508,000 is attributable

primarily to the anticipated reopening of the Conservatory in November 2001. The recommendation includes $4,132,000 for the operating budget and $1,697,000 for the capital budget. The decrease

of $300,000 below the request is attributable to the fact that funds

provided for personal services in fiscal year 2001 were not fully utilized. To date, over $800,000 has been reallocated out of personal

services this year.

Funds are provided to the Botanic Garden to collect, cultivate,

and grow the various flora of the United States and other countries

for exhibition and display to the public and for study material for

students, scientists, and garden clubs.

The Committee directs that no funds for capital projects be allocated prior to the submission of a detailed justification and

prioritization to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations and their prior approval.

The Committee encourages the Botanic Garden to work with and

form partnerships with other garden institutions to gain valuable

assistance and expertise, including the Chicago Botanic Garden on

school and community gardening programs.

Net, salaries and expenses .................................................. 290,925,000

1 Reflects $842,244 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $297,775,000 for

salaries and expenses of the Library of Congress and approves authority to spend receipts of $6,850,000 in fiscal year 2002. This is

$500,000 above the request.

The amount recommended is a decrease of $84,221,000 below the

enacted level, owing to the one-time appropriation of $99,780,000

in fiscal year 2001 for the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program and the fact that the Center for

Russian Leadership Development is funded separately in this bill.

The amount will provide for mandatory pay and price level increases of $12,566,199.

American Folk Life Center.—The Committee recommends the

budget request of $2,013,975 for the American Folk Life Center, including an additional 9 FTEs. The increase will enable the Center

to preserve and make accessible to the public the priceless sound

recordings in their collection. In addition, the amount provided includes $250,000 for the Veterans Oral History Project which will

involve collecting interviews and documentary material, such as

letters, maps and photographs, from American veterans of World

War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf War.

Storage infrastructure upgrades.—The Committee encourages the

Library within available funds to acquire storage infrastructure upgrades so that the Library’s information systems and applications

meet all of the established Critical Infrastructure Protection requirements established in Presidential Decision Directive 63 and

67, providing full-time access to this critical information. This infrastructure should have heterogeneous connectivity to all existing

systems at the Library of Congress.

Law Library.—The Committee supports not less than the full

budget request of $9,091,712 and 94 FTEs for the Law Library.

This is an increase of $1,443,025 over the current level and includes additional resources to reduce the arrearage. The Committee
36

expects the Law Library arrearages to be eliminated not later than

the end of 2003.

Lincoln Commission.—The amount recommended includes

$500,000 for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission (authorized by Public Law 106–173), which will receive administration

support services from the Library of Congress.

GAO study.—The General Accounting Office is directed to conduct a study to evaluate the viability of using profits from the Library’s retail sales activities to support other Library activities.

The study should include an evaluation of the potential for generating such profits and the policies and procedures for the control

of products, licensing agreements, and use of the Library’s logo.

The Comptroller General will work in consultation with the Librarian of Congress in evaluating options and alternatives and will report to the Committee and the Joint Committee on the Library by

March 31, 2002.

$12,837,000 for the Copyright Office and approves authority to

spend receipts of $27,864,000 in fiscal year 2002, for a total of

$40,701,000. This is an increase of $2,263,000 over the enacted

level. The amount recommended reflects the Library’s revised request for the Copyright Office. Further analysis of the Office’s total

systems requirements is needed before any further acceleration of

the Copyright Office’s electronic registration, recordation, and deposit system (CORDS) is undertaken. The amount recommended

will accommodate all mandatory pay and price level increases, totaling $1,883,000, and includes $380,000 to implement business

process re-engineering plans for the registration and recordation

processes.

BOOKS FOR THE BLIND AND PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2001 1 ........................................................................... $48,502,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 49,765,000

1 Reflects $106,940 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $49,765,000 for

salaries and expenses for Books for the Blind and Physically

Handicapped. This is an increase of $1,263,000 over the fiscal year

2001 level needed to accommodate mandatory pay and price level

increases.

This appropriation supports a National Reading Program for

blind and physically handicapped citizens. Books and magazines in

braille and various recorded formats are produced by the National

Library Services for the Blind and Physically Handicapped for distribution through a network of State and locally supported libraries. At present, 57 regional libraries in 49 States, the District of

Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Guam house and

circulate books and magazines to eligible readers. Eighty subregional libraries in 17 States assist at the local public library

level; 53 libraries and 4 cooperating agencies distribute sound reproducers. Two multistate centers, under contract to the National

Library Service, store and distribute books and other materials in

their geographical regions. The Librarian has estimated a readership of 759,000 individuals in fiscal year 2001.

FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS

Appropriations, 2001 1 ........................................................................... $4,881,000

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... 8,599,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 8,532,000

1 Reflects $10,762 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,532,000 for

Library furniture and furnishings in 2002. This is an increase of

$3,651,000 over the current budget. The amount provided includes

funding for the purchase of new equipment, estimated at

$5,824,000. It does not include the request of $67,000 for new

workstations for the CORDS project, as this project has been put

on hold. The increase over the enacted level is attributable primarily to a one-time increase of $3,205,000 for film preservation

equipment.

The Committee expects that the ‘‘Furniture and Furnishings’’ account will be incorporated into the Library’s other appropriation accounts beginning in fiscal year 2003 to reflect more fully program

costs.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

The Committee has included the routine administrative provisions, sections 201 to 206.

The Committee has added a new subsection (c) to section 206,

which enables FEDLINK and the Federal Research Division to borrow from Library appropriations for initial capitalization of the
38

new revolving fund established for these two former Economy Act

programs.

The Committee has added a provision, section 207, that makes

a technical correction to the Library of Congress Fiscal Operations

Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106–481). The current phrasing is ‘‘audio and video duplication and delivery services,’’ which

unintentionally limits the duplication service to video materials,

i.e., not film or other moving image formats from the Library’s

audiovisual collections.

Finally, section 208 amends the Library of Congress Fiscal Operations Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106–481) to add special events and programs activities to the revolving fund established in the Act, which brings these activities under the Library’s

revolving fund accounting and reporting requirements.

The Committee has included $1,000,000 for continued planning,

engineering, design and construction activities for the Capitol Visitor Center.

CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY

Appropriations, 2001 ............................................................................. ...........................

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... ...........................

Committee recommendation ................................................................. $2,500,000

The Committee recommends a one-time appropriation of

$2,500,000 for the Congressional Cemetery. The Committee expects

these funds will be augmented by privately-contributed funds.

This appropriation is to be allocated only upon submission to and

approval by the Committee of a spending plan, including plans for

self-sufficiency beyond this appropriation. Upkeep of the Congressional Cemetery is not a responsibility specifically authorized for

the Architect of the Capitol as this is a privately-owned cemetery.

However, the Committee is concerned with the state of disrepair of

this 33-acre historic site where a number of Members of Congress

are buried along with privates and generals of the Revolutionary

War, the War of 1812, Mexican War, and Union and Confederate

soldiers, as well as craftsmen and architects of the Capitol, Indian

chiefs, and foreign diplomats.

The Committee notes that $1,000,000 was provided in fiscal year

1999 for the Congressional Cemetery, made available on a matching basis to create an endowment for upkeep of the Cemetery

under Public Law 105–275.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 18,753,000

1 Reflects $35,000 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $18,753,000 for

the care and maintenance of the Library buildings and grounds by

the Architect of the Capitol, of which $6,878,000 shall remain

available until expended. The recommendation includes

$10,553,000 for the operating budget and $8,200,000 for the capital

budget, including $5,000,000 for the Audio-Visual Conservation

Center.

The personal services budget has been reduced by $744,000

below the request owing to the fact that funds provided for personal services were not fully utilized in fiscal year 2001. To date

over $400,000 has been reallocated from personal services.

The Committee directs that no funds for capital projects be allocated prior to the submission of a detailed justification and

prioritization to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations and their prior approval.

1 Reflects $61,000 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $28,728,000, an

increase of $835,000 above the enacted level. This provides for

mandatory pay and price level increases.

This appropriation provides for salaries and expenses associated

with the distribution of Government documents to depository and

international exchange libraries, the cataloging and indexing of

Government publications, and the distribution of publications authorized by law at the request of Members of Congress and other

Government agencies.

REVOLVING FUND

The Committee bill continues the limitations on reception and

representation expenses and costs of attendance at meetings.

Funds for replacement of the air-conditioning system and lighting

improvements were included in the pending fiscal year 2001 supplemental.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION

The Committee has included a provision extending for an additional 3 years GPO’s retirement/separation incentive authority.
40

GPO may need to use such authority in view of the ongoing inability of the document sales program to recover its expenses.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 419,843,000

1 Reflects $846,707 rescission per Public Law 106–554.

The Committee recommends funding of $419,843,000 for salaries

and expenses of the General Accounting Office. Additionally,

$2,501,000 is authorized in offsetting collections derived from rent

receipts and reimbursements for conducting financial audits of

Government corporations, for a total of $422,344,000, which will

support an FTE level of 3,275 FTEs. The amount recommended, together with collections, represents an increase of $35,324,000 or 9

percent over the current level. This will cover all mandatory pay

and benefit increases, price level increases, and additional staff for

work in such critical areas as government computer security.

The Committee has included $5,200,000 for GAO to implement

the Truth in Regulating Act (Public Law 106–312). Under this pilot

program, at the request of committee chairmen or ranking members GAO is to evaluate proposed or final rules that may have an

annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more, or adversely

affect the economy in a material way.

The Committee notes that GAO has requested funding to reach

its ceiling of 3,275 FTEs, which has not been achieved in the past

2 years. The Committee is concerned, however, that GAO has not

conducted a full assessment of its human capital needs to meet its

mission and fulfill its strategic plan. Therefore, prior to hiring up

to the full level of 3,275 FTEs, the Committee expects GAO to provide it with an analytical human capital assessment which recommends an optimal staffing level for fiscal year 2002 and beyond,

including full consideration of activities which appropriately should

be contracted out.

The Committee has included an increase in representation expenses to $12,000.

PAYMENT TO THE RUSSIAN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

CENTER TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2001 1 ........................................................................... ...........................

Budget estimate, 2002 ........................................................................... $10,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 10,000,000

1 $9,978,000 was included in the budget of the Library of Congress in fiscal year 2001.

The Committee recommends $10,000,000 as a payment to the

Russian Leadership Development Center Trust Fund for the Center for Russian Leadership Development. The Center was established on December 21, 2000 (Public Law 106–554) as an individual

legislative branch agency. The mission of the Center is to enable

emerging political leaders of Russia at all levels of government to

gain significant, first-hand exposure to the American free market

economic system and the operation of American democratic institu-
41

tions through visits to comparable governments and communities

in the United States.
(42)

TITLE III—GENERAL PROVISIONS

In addition to several routine general provisions carried annually

in the bill (secs. 301–308), the Committee proposes three additional

general provisions (secs. 309–311), as follows:

Section 301 bans the use of appropriated funds for service and

maintenance of private vehicles, except under such regulations as

may be promulgated by the House Oversight Committee and the

Senate Rules and Administration Committee, respectively.

Section 302 limits the availability for obligation of appropriation

to the fiscal year for which it is expressly provided in the bill accompanying this report.

Section 303 provides that any pay rate and title designation for

a staff position created in this Act, and not specifically established

by the Legislative Pay Act of 1929, is to be made permanent law

by this Act. Further, any pay rate and title change for a position

provided for in the 1929 Act is to be made permanent law by this

act and any changes in the official expenses of Members, officers,

and committees, and in the clerk hire of the House and Senate are

to be made permanent law by this Act.

Section 304 bans the use of funds for contracts unless such contracts are matters of public record and are available for public inspection.

Section 305 provides that, to the greatest extent practicable,

products purchased with funds in this Act should be Americanmade.

Section 306 appropriates such sums as may be necessary for the

payment of settlements and awards pursuant to Public Law 104– 1.

Section 307 authorizes legislative branch entities participating in

the Legislative Branch Financial Managers Council [LBFMC] to finance the costs of the LBFMC.

Section 308 extends for 1 year the availability of funds for the

Senate art collection.

Section 309 amends 5 U.S.C. 5596(a) to include the Architect of

the Capitol and the U.S. Botanic Garden. This section provides for

back pay due to unjustified personnel actions.

Section 310 has been included requiring the Architect of the Capitol to develop and maintain an accounting and financial management system which, among other things, complies with applicable

federal accounting principles, standards, and requirements, and internal control standards. This section will allow the Architect to

provide information that is complete, reliable, consistent, timely

and prepared on a uniform basis. These requirements are consistent with those applicable to the Capitol Police.

Section 311 provides flexibility for the Architect of the Capitol in

the titles and pay levels of up to 12 senior management positions,

not including the Architect or Assistant Architect. Presently, the
43

maximum amount that the Architect can pay senior staff is not

comparable to the pay available to those personnel from other

sources with which they compete. With this flexibility, the Committee expects the agency will be able to hire expeditiously a chief

financial officer and ensure that other key management positions

are filled by the most qualified and capable individuals. The Committee expects this will bring about significant improvement to the

management and operation of this Agency.
(44)

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI, OF THE

STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE

Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on general appropriations bills identify, with particularity, each Committee amendment to the House bill ‘‘which proposes an item of appropriation which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously

passed by the Senate during that session.’’

The Committee has recommended funding under the Architect of

the Capitol’s budget for the Congressional Cemetery, which is not

authorized.
