                       Purpose of the Legislation

    The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film 
Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (H.R. 5893) 
reauthorizes both the Sound Recording Program established by 
P.L. 100-446 and the Film Preservation Programs authorized by 
P.L. 106-474, both administered by the Library of Congress.

                              Bill Summary

    The Committee strongly supports both of these programs, 
which serve essentially the same purpose: working with 
interested stakeholders in the private sector to maintain and 
build archives of culturally significant films and sound 
recordings that have enriched American history and culture 
that, absent some organized intervention, would otherwise be 
lost and irreplaceable.
    Although the programs are similar, they are distinct and 
will remain so. For the convenience of the Library, 
stakeholders, and the Committee, H.R. 5893 reauthorizes them 
both through fiscal year 2016. The bill also makes other 
adjustments to the programs to provide for greater efficiency 
in their administration for the next eight years.

                        Committee Consideration

    On May 7, 2008, the Committee considered H.R. 5893 and, by 
voice vote, ordered the bill reported favorably with one 
amendment. No recorded votes were taken during consideration of 
the bill.

                   Background and Need for H.R. 5893

    Congress enacted the National Film Preservation Program in 
1988 to create a national film registry to archive culturally 
significant films. The initial authorization was for three 
years. It was reauthorized in 1992, 1996 and 2005.
    The program consists of the National Film Preservation 
Board (the Board), overseen by the Library of Congress, and the 
National Film Preservation Foundation (the Foundation), which 
was created through the 1996 reauthorization. The Board is 
responsible for selecting the films to be added to the National 
Film Registry each year. The Board selects films using a 
``culturally, historically or aesthetically significant'' 
standard. The Foundation's primary function is fundraising in 
the private sector for distribution of grants to various film 
preservation projects.
    The importance of film preservation cannot be 
overestimated. As of December 27, 2007, there have been 475 
titles added to the National Film Registry, ensuring their 
permanent preservation for future generations. Without the 
efforts of the Board and Foundation, countless important films, 
whose relevance is timeless, will deteriorate and be lost 
forever.
    To address a similar threat to the nation's sound-recording 
heritage, Congress in 2000 created the National Sound Recording 
Preservation Program, building upon the success of the film 
program. There are currently 250 entries in the National 
Recording Registry, with titles ranging from poetry readings at 
universities to an entire day's worth of radio programming.
    Like film preservation, recording preservation is also 
important. From historical speeches to music, the preservation 
of historically significant sounds is as imperative as the 
preservation of sights. It is a symbiotic relationship. They 
lend to each other, adding another dimension of appreciation 
for each and magnifying the importance of both.
    The National Film Preservation Program is due to expire in 
2009, while the National Sound Recording Preservation Program 
will expire in September 2008. It is urgent that these 
reauthorizations be enacted so these two programs can continue 
their important work. The Committee believes these changes will 
strengthen them for the future and help, in partnership with 
the private sector, to accomplish the programs' very important 
goals.

                   Analysis of the Bill (as Reported)

    Section 1. Short title (``The Library of Congress Sound 
Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 
2008'').
    Section 2. This section provides for the reauthorization of 
the Sound Recording Preservation Programs for 8 years, through 
fiscal year 2016.
    The section also addresses the criteria for removal of 
Board members. The Librarian of Congress is authorized to 
remove any member of the Board for failing to attend a Board 
meeting or not designating an alternate to attend a Board 
meeting, or any member who is deemed by the Librarian of 
Congress as failing to fulfill the responsibilities of being a 
member of the Board. Further, the section provides that members 
of the Board are now permitted to serve more than 2 terms of 4 
years each.
    The section also permits the Board of Directors of the 
Foundation to determine the location of the principal office 
rather than requiring the office to remain in the District of 
Columbia.
    Finally, Section 2 sets limitations on the use of 
administrative expenses and clarifies the original 
authorization. The use of any federal matching funds authorized 
by the bill is limited by the tax laws governing non-profit 
corporations.
    Section 3. Section 3 reauthorizes the Film Preservation 
Program, including the National Film Preservation Board and the 
National Film Preservation Foundation, for seven years, through 
2016. The bill authorizes $530,000 annually through 2009, 
$750,000 in 2010-2011, and $1,000,000 annually for fiscal years 
2012 through 2016.
    Section 3 also amends current law governing use of the 
National Film Preservation Board seal in promoting the National 
Film Registry and updates the names of the organizations 
represented on the Board. The section also includes a clause to 
facilitate the repatriation of films from foreign archives and 
lengthens the period for filling Board vacancies from 60 days 
to 120 days.
    Section 4. Section 4 allows for the distribution, by the 
Librarian of Congress, of acquired news transmissions, either 
through television or radio broadcasts, for research purposes 
or for deposit in public libraries.

             Matters Required Under the Rules of the House

                        CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

    Clause 3(d)(1) of House Rule XIII requires each committee 
report on a public bill or joint resolution to include a 
statement citing the specific constitutional power(s) granted 
to the Congress on which the Committee relies for enactment of 
the measure under consideration.
    The Committee cites its authority granted under Article I, 
section 8, clause 8 to ``promote the Progress of Science and 
useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and 
Inventors the exclusive Rights to their respective Writings and 
Discoveries''.
    The legislation reauthorizes two programs designed to 
promote science and the arts by preserving threatened film and 
sound recordings in danger of being lost, whether owned or 
``orphaned.'' As did the Congresses that established these 
programs, the Committee believes they will promote science and 
the arts by preserving the nation's heritage and culture.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES

    Clause 3(b) of House Rule XIII requires the results of each 
recorded vote on an amendment or motion to report, together 
with the names of those voting for and against, to be printed 
in the committee report. No recorded votes were taken during 
the Committee's consideration of H.R. 5893.

                  CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ESTIMATE

    Clause 3(c)(3) of House Rule XIII requires the report of a 
committee on a measure which has been approved by the committee 
to include a cost estimate prepared by the Director of the 
Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 403 of the CBA, 
if timely submitted. The Director submitted the following 
estimate:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                      Washington, DC, May 23, 2008.
Hon. Robert A. Brady,
Chairman, Committee on House Administration,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 5893, the Library 
of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs 
Reauthorization Act of 2008.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Christina 
Hawley Anthony.
            Sincerely,
                                         Robert A. Sunshine
                                   (For Peter R. Orszag, Director).
    Enclosure.

H.R. 5893--Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation 
        Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008

    H.R. 5893 would authorize appropriations for the National 
Recording Preservation Board, the National Recording 
Preservation Foundation, the National Film Preservation Board, 
and the National Film Preservation Foundation. Under current 
law, authorizations for the National Recording Preservation 
Board and Foundation expire at the end of fiscal year 2008, 
while authorizations for the National Film Preservation Board 
and Foundation expire at the end of fiscal year 2009. Under 
H.R. 5893, all four entities would be authorized through fiscal 
year 2016.
    In 2008, $0.75 million was appropriated for the programs 
authorized by H.R. 5893. The bill would authorize the annual 
appropriation of between $1 million and about $1.5 million for 
the 2009-2016 period. Assuming appropriation of the authorized 
amounts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5893 would cost 
$6 million over the 2009-2013 period. The bill would not affect 
direct spending or revenues.
    H.R. 5893 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. The 
bill would benefit public libraries by allowing the Library of 
Congress to distribute copies of television and radio programs 
to those libraries.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Christina Hawley 
Anthony. This estimate was approved by Keith Fontenot, Deputy 
Assistant Director for Health and Human Resources, Budget 
Analysis Division.

                            FEDERAL MANDATES

    Section 423 of the CBA requires a committee report on any 
public bill or joint resolution that includes a federal mandate 
to include specific information about such mandates. The 
Committee states that H.R. 5893 includes no federal mandates.

                        PREEMPTION CLARIFICATION

    Section 423 of the CBA requires a committee report on any 
public bill or joint resolution to include a committee 
statement on the extent to which the measure is intended to 
preempt state or local law. The Committee states that H.R. 5893 
is not intended to preempt any state or local law.

                           OVERSIGHT FINDINGS

    Clause 3(c)(1) of House Rule XIII requires each committee 
report to contain oversight findings and recommendations 
required pursuant to clause 2(b)(1) of House Rule X. The 
Committee has general oversight responsibility for the Library 
of Congress.
    In the course of its continuing oversight of these two 
programs, the Committee noted the benefits of the modifications 
to the reauthorized programs and recommends these changes.

         STATEMENT OF GENERAL PERFORMANCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

    Clause 3(c)(4) of House Rule XIII requires committee 
reports to include a statement of general performance goals and 
objectives. The Committee finds the Library of Congress' plan, 
as represented in H.R. 5893 and recommended to the House, will 
yield the continued success of the Recording and Film 
Preservation Programs.

                       CONGRESSIONAL ``EARMARKS''

    Clause 9 of House Rule XXI requires committee reports on 
public bills and resolutions to contain an identification of 
congressional ``earmarks,'' limited tax benefits, limited 
tariff benefits, and the names of requesting Members. The bill 
contains no such items either as introduced or as reported to 
the House.

             CONGRESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY ACT APPLICABILITY

    Section 102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act 
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-1) (CAA) requires each report on a public 
bill or joint resolution relating to terms and conditions of 
employment or access to public services or accommodations to 
describe the manner in which the legislation applies to the 
Legislative Branch. The bill contains no such items either as 
introduced or as reported to the House.
