     be used to implement Habitat Conservation Areas in the 
     Tongass National Forest for species which have not been 
     declared threatened or endangered pursuant to the Endangered

       (b) The provision of this section shall apply to the timber 
     specified in the Final Supplement to 1981-86 and 1986-90

     analysis.
       (c) Expired Permits.--This section shall only apply if a

     for which an important reason for entry includes the removal 
     of disease- or insect-infested trees, dead, damaged, or down

     fire or insect attack. Such term also includes the removal of 
     associated trees or trees lacking the characteristics of a 
     healthy and viable ecosystem for the purpose of ecosystem 
     improvement or rehabilitation, except that any such sale must 
     include an identifiable salvage component of trees described

     provided in subsection (c), the Secretary concerned shall 
     prepare, advertise, offer, and award contracts during the 
     emergency period for salvage timber sales from Federal lands 
     described in subsection (a)(4). During the emergency period, 
     the Secretary concerned is to achieve, to the maximum extent 
     feasible, a salvage timber sale volume level above the 
     programmed level to reduce the backlogged volume of salvage 
     timber. The preparation, advertisement, offering, and 
     awarding of such contracts shall be performed notwithstanding 
     any other provision of law, including a law under the 
     authority of which any judicial order may be outstanding on 
     or after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (2) Use of salvage sale funds.--To conduct salvage timber 
     sales under this subsection, the Secretary concerned may use 
     salvage sale funds otherwise available to the Secretary 
     concerned.

     Secretary concerned and to the extent the Secretary concerned 
     considers appropriate and feasible, the document prepared 
     under this paragraph must consider the environmental effects 
     of the salvage timber sale and consider the effect, if any, 
     on threatened or endangered species.
       (B) Use of existing materials.--In lieu of preparing a new 
     document under this paragraph, the Secretary concerned may 
     use a document prepared pursuant to the National 
     Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) 
     before the date of the enactment of this Act, a biological 
     evaluation written before such date, or information collected 
     for such a document or evaluation if the document, 
     evaluation, or information applies to the Federal lands 
     covered by the proposed sale.
       (C) Scope and content.--The scope and content of the 
     documentation and information prepared, considered, and 
     relied on under this paragraph is at the sole discretion of 
     the Secretary concerned.

     1995, the Secretary concerned shall submit a report to the 
     appropriate committees of Congress on the implementation of 
     this section. The report shall be updated and resubmitted to 
     the appropriate committees of Congress every six months 
     thereafter until the completion of all salvage timber sales 
     conducted under subsection (b). Each report shall contain the 
     following:
       (A) The volume of salvage timber sales sold and harvested, 
     as of the date of the report, for each National Forest and

     concerned may begin salvage timber sales under subsection (b) 
     intended for a subsequent fiscal year before the start of 
     such fiscal year if the Secretary concerned determines that

     with salvage timber sales intended for a preceding fiscal 
     year.
       (4) Decisions.--The Secretary concerned shall design and 
     select the specific salvage timber sales to be offered under 
     subsection (b) on the basis of the analysis contained in the 
     document or documents prepared pursuant to paragraph (1) to 
     achieve, to the maximum extent feasible, a salvage timber 
     sale volume level above the program level.
       (5) Sale preparation.--
       (A) Use of available authorities.--The Secretary concerned 
     shall make use of all available authority, including the 
     employment of private contractors and the use of expedited 
     fire 
     [[Page H5024]] contracting procedures, to prepare and 
     advertise salvage timber sales under subsection (b).

     of salvage timber sales under subsection (b) shall be exempt 
     from--
       (i) the requirements of the Competition in Contracting Act 
     (41 U.S.C. 253 et seq.) and the implementing regulations in 
     the Federal Acquisition Regulation issued pursuant to section 
     25(c) of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 
     U.S.C. 421(c)) and any departmental acquisition regulations;

     of section 3(d)(1) of the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act 
     of 1994 (Public Law 103-226; 5 U.S.C. 5597 note) shall not 
     apply to any former employee of the Secretary concerned who 
     received a voluntary separation incentive payment authorized 
     by such Act and accepts employment pursuant to this 
     paragraph. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management 
     and the Secretary concerned shall provide a summary report to 
     the appropriate committees of Congress, the Committee on 
     Government Reform and Oversight of the House of 
     Representatives, and the Committee on Governmental Affairs of 
     the Senate regarding the number of incentive payment 
     recipients who were rehired, their terms of reemployment, 
     their job classifications, and an explanation, in the 
     judgment of the agencies involved of how such reemployment 
     without repayment of the incentive payments received is 
     consistent with the original waiver provisions of such Act. 
     This report shall not be conducted in a manner that would 
     delay the rehiring of any former employees under this 
     paragraph, or affect the normal confidentiality of Federal 
     employees.
       (6) Cost considerations.--Salvage timber sales undertaken 
     pursuant to this section shall not be precluded because the 
     costs of such activities are likely to exceed the revenues 
     derived from such activities.
       (7) Effect of salvage sales.--The Secretary concerned shall 
     not substitute salvage timber sales conducted under 
     subsection (b) for planned non-salvage timber sales.
       (8) Reforestation of salvage timber sale parcels.--The 
     Secretary concerned shall plan and implement reforestation of 
     each parcel of land harvested under a salvage timber sale

     later than any applicable restocking period required by law 
     or regulation.
       (9) Effect on judicial decisions.--The Secretary concerned 
     may conduct salvage timber sales under subsection (b)

       (d) Direction to Complete Timber Sales on Lands Covered by 
     Option 9.--Notwithstanding any other law (including a law 
     under the authority of which any judicial order may be 
     outstanding on or after the date of enactment of this Act), 
     the Secretary concerned shall expeditiously prepare, offer, 
     and award timber sale contracts on Federal lands described in 
     the ``Record of Decision for Amendments to Forest Service and 
     Bureau of Land Management Planning Documents Within the Range 
     of the Northern Spotted Owl'', signed by the Secretary of the 
     Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture on April 13, 1994. 
     The Secretary concerned may conduct timber sales under this 
     subsection notwithstanding any decision, restraining order, 
     or injunction issued by a United States court before the date

     regulation pursuant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species 
     Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(d)) to ease or reduce 
     restrictions on non-Federal lands within the range of the 
     northern spotted owl shall be deemed to satisfy the 
     requirements of section 102(2c) of the National Environmental 
     Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2c)), given the analysis 
     included in the Final Supplemental Impact Statement on the 
     Management of the Habitat for Late Successional and Old 
     Growth Forest Related Species Within the Range of the 
     Northern Spotted Owl, prepared by the Secretary of 
     Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior in 1994, which 
     is, or may be, incorporated by reference in the 
     administrative record of any such regulation. The issuance of 
     any such regulation pursuant to section 4(d) of the 
     Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(d)) shall not 
     require the preparation of an environmental impact statement 
     under section 102(2c) of the National Environmental Policy 
     Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2c)).
       (e) Administrative Review.--Salvage timber sales conducted 
     under subsection (b), timber sales conducted under subsection 
     (d), and any decision of the Secretary concerned in 
     connection with such sales, shall not be subject to 
     administrative review.

       (1) Place and time of filing.--A salvage timber sale to be 
     conducted under subsection (b), and a timber sale to be

     district in which the affected Federal lands are located. Any 
     challenge to such sale must be filed in such district court 
     within 15 days after the date of initial advertisement of the 
     challenged sale. The Secretary concerned may not agree to, 
     and a court may not grant, a waiver of the requirements of 
     this paragraph.
       (2) Effect of filing on agency action.--For 45 days after 
     the date of the filing of a challenge to a salvage timber 
     sale to be conducted under subsection (b) or a timber sale to 
     be conducted under subsection (d), the Secretary concerned 
     shall take no action to award the challenged sale.
       (3) Prohibition on restraining orders, preliminary 
     injunctions, and relief pending review.--No restraining 
     order, preliminary injunction, or injunction pending appeal 
     shall be issued by any court of the United States with 
     respect to any decision to prepare, advertise, offer, award, 
     or operate a salvage timber sale pursuant to subsection (b) 
     or any decision to prepare, advertise, offer, award, or 
     operate a timber sale pursuant to subsection (d). Section 705 
     of title 5, United States Code, shall not apply to any 
     challenge to such a sale.
       (4) Standard of review.--The courts shall have authority to 
     enjoin permanently, order modification of, or void an 
     individual salvage timber sale if it is determined by a 
     review of the record that the decision to prepare, advertise, 
     offer, award, or operate such sale was arbitrary and 
     capricious or otherwise not in accordance with applicable law 
     (other than those laws specified in subsection (i)).
       (5) Time for decision.--Civil actions filed under this 
     subsection shall be assigned for hearing at the earliest 
     possible date. The court shall render its final decision 
     relative to any challenge within 45 days from the date such 
     challenge is brought, unless the court determines that a 
     longer period of time is required to satisfy the requirement 
     of the United States Constitution. In order to reach a 
     decision within 45 days, the district court may assign all or 
     part of any such case or cases to one or more Special 
     Masters, for prompt review and recommendations to the court.
       (6) Procedures.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, the court may set rules governing the procedures of any 
     proceeding brought under this subsection which set page 
     limits on briefs and time limits on filing briefs and motions 
     and other actions which are shorter than the limits specified 
     in the Federal rules of civil or appellate procedure.
       (7) Appeal.--Any appeal from the final decision of a 
     district court in an action brought pursuant to this 
     subsection shall be filed not later than 30 days after the 
     date of decision.

       The aggregate limitation on Federal Buildings Fund 
     obligations established under this heading in Public Law 103-
     329 (as otherwise reduced pursuant to this Act) is hereby 
     increased by $66,800,000, of which $40,400,000 shall remain 
     available until expended for necessary expenses of real 
     property management and related activities (including 
     planning, design, construction, demolition, restoration, 
     repairs, alterations, acquisition, installment acquisition 
     payments, rental of space, building operations, maintenance, 
     protection, moving of governmental agencies, and other 
     activities) in response to the April 19, 1995, terrorist 
     bombing attack at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 
     Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
       In carrying out such activities, the Administrator of 
     General Services may (among other actions) exchange, sell, 
     lease, donate, or otherwise dispose of the site of the Alfred 
     P. Murrah Federal Building (or a portion thereof) to the 
     State of Oklahoma, to the City of Oklahoma City, or to any 
     Oklahoma public trust that has the City of Oklahoma City as 
     its beneficiary and is designated by the City to receive such 
     property. Any such disposal shall not be subject to (1) the 
     Public Buildings Act of 1959 (40 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); (2) the 
     Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 
     U.S.C. 471 et seq.); or (3) any other Federal law 
     establishing requirements or procedures for the disposal of 
     Federal property: Provided, That these funds shall not be 
     available for expenses in connection with the construction, 
     repair, alteration, or acquisition project for which a 
     prospectus, if required by the Public Buildings Act of 1959, 
     as amended, has not been approved, except that necessary 
     funds may be expended for required expenses in connection 
     with the development of a proposed prospectus: Provided 
     further, That for additional amounts, to remain available 
     until expended and to be deposited into the Federal Buildings 
     Fund, for emergency expenses resulting from the bombing of 
     the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City: for 
     ``Construction'', Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, Alfred P. Murrah 
     Federal Building, Demolition, $2,300,000;' for ``Minor 
     Repairs and Alterations'', $3,300,000; for ``Rental of 
     Space'', $8,300,000, to be used to lease, furnish, and equip 
     replacement space; and for ``Buildings Operations'', 
     $12,500,000: Provided further, That the entire amount is 
     designated by Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant 
     to section 251(b)(2)(D)(i) of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 1158) making 
     emergency supplemental appropriations for additional disaster 
     assistance and making rescissions for the fiscal year ending 
     September 30, 1995, and for other purposes, submit the 
     following joint statement to the House and the Senate in 
     explanation of the effects of the action agreed upon by the 
     managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
     report.
       Report language included by the House in the report 
     accompanying H.R. 1158 (H. Rept. 104-70) and the report 
     accompanying H.R. 1159 (H. Rept. 104-71) which is not changed 
     by the report of the Senate (S. Rept. 104-17), and Senate 
     Report language which is not changed by the conference are 
     approved by the committee of conference. The statement of the 
     managers while repeating some report language for emphasis, 
     is not intended to negate the language referred to above 
     unless expressly provided herein.

                            enacting clause

       The conference agreement contains an amended enacting 
     clause that reflects the inclusion of emergency supplemental 
     appropriations for recovery operations in response to the 
     tragedy that occurred at Oklahoma City and for anti-terrorism 
     initiatives. Neither the House nor Senate bills included 
     these purposes in their respective enacting clauses.

                 TITLE I--SUPPLEMENTALS AND RESCISSIONS

                               CHAPTER I

      DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, FOOD AND DRUG 
                  ADMINISTRATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

                     Agricultural Research Service

       The conference agreement transfers $2,218,000 back to the 
     Agricultural Research Service as proposed by the Senate. 
     These funds were appropriated to the Agricultural Research 
     Service and subsequently transferred to a new account, 
     ``Nutrition Initiatives,'' established by the Department. The 
     Food and Nutrition Service can continue to fund ``Nutrition 
     Initiatives'' from funds made available to the Service, such 
     as those for Dietary Guidelines. The House bill contained no 
     similar provision.

                   Food Safety and Inspection Service

       The conference agreement provides a supplemental 
     appropriation of $9,082,000 for the Food Safety and 
     Inspection Service as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $9,048,000 as proposed by the House.
   [[Page H5027]] Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service

                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement provides a supplemental 
     appropriation of $5,000,000 for Agricultural Stabilization 
     and Conservation Service, Salaries and Expenses instead of 
     $10,000,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate bill 
     contained no similar provision.

                   Commodity Credit Corporation Fund

                           food for progress

       The conference agreement includes language raising the 
     limit from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000 on transport and other 
     noncommodity funds available from the Commodity Credit 
     Corporation to facilitate donations of commodities under the 
     Food for Progress Program. Both the House and the Senate 
     bills contained similar provisions.

                  Rural Electrification Administration

       rural electrification and telephone loans program account

       The conference agreement includes language to eliminate the 
     interest cap on the Treasury rate telephone loan program as 
     proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.

                       Food and Nutrition Service

                  commodity supplemental food program

       The conference agreement includes language allowing 20 
     percent of funds carried over from fiscal year 1994 to be 
     available for administrative costs of the Commodity 
     Supplemental Food Program as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House bill contained no similar provision.

                           General Provisions

                        market promotion program

       The conference agreement includes language permitting the 
     operation of the Market Promotion Program at a level not to 
     exceed $110,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House bill 
     contained no similar provision.

                        delineation of wetlands

       The conference agreement deletes Senate language 
     prohibiting the Department from making wetland delineations 
     through December 31, 1995, unless the owner or operator of 
     the land requests such a determination. On April 6, 1996, the 
     Secretary of Agriculture announced that the Department would 
     make wetland delineations and certifications only on request 
     of the landowner until Congress completes action on the 1995 
     Farm Bill and the National Academy of Sciences completes work 
     on a wetlands study. The conferees strongly support this 
     position and direct the Secretary to enforce his policy until 
     the 1995 Farm Bill is enacted into law.

                        office of the secretary

       The conference agreement rescinds $31,000 from the Office 
     of the Secretary as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate. The conference agreement also includes language 
     limiting the use of the Secretary's transfer authority 
     without prior notification to the Committees on 
     Appropriations as proposed by both the House and the Senate.
        alternative agricultural research and commercialization

       The conference agreement rescinds $1,500,000 from 
     Alternative Agricultural Research and Commercialization 
     instead of $3,000,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate 
     bill contained no similar provision.

                     Agricultural Research Service

                        buildings and facilities

       The conference agreement rescinds $1,400,000 from 
     Agricultural Research Service, Buildings and Facilities 
     instead of $12,678,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $1,500,000 as proposed by the Senate. The amount rescinded is 
     to be taken from unobligated balances of the U.S. Salinity 
     Laboratory in Riverside, California, and other miscellaneous 
     projects. The House bill proposed rescinding $12,678,000 from 
     amounts appropriated for the National Swine Research Facility 
     in Ames, Iowa. The conference agreement provides that the 
     $12,678,000 for the National Swine Research Facility be 
     provided as a grant to Iowa State University to construct 
     that facility at Ames, Iowa. The conferees direct the 
     Agricultural Research Service to convey ownership to Iowa 
     State University. The conferees are aware of the interest and 
     need for important swine research; however, financial 
     constraints require difficult choices. The conferees expect 
     that any future costs of operation associated with that 
     facility be provided by sources other than the federal 
     government. Iowa State University should work in 
     collaboration with the industry to cover research and 
     additional construction costs or to offset these costs 
     through the consolidation of federal research activities.

                   cooperative state research service

       The conference agreement rescinds $1,051,000 from the 
     Cooperative State Research Service as proposed by the House 
     instead of $958,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference 
     agreement rescinds $524,000 from the Oregon/Massachusetts/
     Pennsylvania biotechnology project; $434,000 from the 
     American Indian Initiative of the Arid Lands Development 
     Fund; and $93,000 from the Potato Tariff and Trade 
     Association. The conference agreement also makes a technical 
     correction to Public Law 103-330 for the 1890 capacity 
     building grants program as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate.

                        buildings and facilities

       The conference agreement rescinds $2,184,000 from 
     Cooperative State Research Service, Buildings and Facilities 
     instead of $20,994,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate 
     bill contained no similar provision. The conference agreement 
     rescinds funds from projects at Minot State University, North 
     Dakota--$280,000; Cornell University, New York--$143,000; and 
     the University of Idaho--$1,761,000. The conferees note that 
     continuation of feasibility studies and/or planning or 
     construction funds in fiscal year 1995 do not signal 
     potential for continued funding. The conferees expect a 
     thorough review and significant changes to the criteria for 
     future consideration of any funding. Universities should be 
     aware that potential future restrictions on subcommittee 
     allocations make future funding in doubt.

               Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

                        buildings and facilities

       The conference agreement rescinds $2,000,000 from Animal 
     and Plant Health Inspection Service, Buildings and Facilities 
     instead of $6,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The amount 
     rescinded is to be taken from unobligated balances. The House 
     bill contained no similar provision.

    Rural Development Administration and Farmers Home Administration

              rural housing insurance fund program account

       The conference agreement rescinds $15,500,000 from the 
     section 515 Rural Rental Housing Program instead of 
     $115,500,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate bill 
     contained no similar provision. The conferees agree that 
     available funds should be used to rehabilitate projects in 
     need of repair.

             local technical assistance and planning grants

       The conference agreement rescinds $1,750,000 from Local 
     Technical Assistance and Planning Grants as proposed by both 
     the House and the Senate.

             alcohol fuels credit guarantee program account

       The conference agreement rescinds $9,000,000 from the 
     Alcohol Fuels Credit Guarantee Program Account as proposed by 
     both the House and the Senate.

                  Rural Electrification Administration

       rural electrification and telephone loans program account

       The conference agreement rescinds $1,500,000 from the Rural 
     Electrification and Telephone Loans Program Account for 5 
     percent telephone loans as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $3,000,000 as proposed by the House.

                       Food and Nutrition Service

  special supplemental food program for women, infants, and children 
                                 (wic)

       The conference agreement rescinds $20,000,000 from the 
     Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and 
     Children (WIC) instead of $25,000,000 as proposed by the 
     House. The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The conference agreement also deletes Senate language 
     allowing $10,000,000 of WIC administrative funds to be 
     available for grants to state agencies to promote 
     immunization. The conferees are aware of studies, such as the 
     Chicago WIC Study, that show a direct link between increased 
     immunizations among low-income children and immunization 
     screening at WIC clinics. In fiscal year 1994, the average 
     monthly participation of infants and children under the age 
     of five in the WIC program was five million. Providing 
     immunization screening and incentives for this population 
     would result in future health care savings to both states and 
     the federal government. The conferees direct the Department 
     to provide a report to the House and Senate authorizing and 
     Appropriations Committees that outlines legislative changes 
     needed to allow state WIC agencies to provide incentives to 
     participants to increase immunization activities by July 31, 
     1995. The conferees also expect the Department to provide 
     assistance to state agencies interested in obtaining Center 
     for Disease Control and Prevention grants for immunization 
     support activities.

                      Foreign Agricultural Service

                     public law 480 program account

                      title iii--commodity grants

       The conference agreement rescinds $40,000,000 from the 
     Public Law 480 title III Program Account. The House bill 
     proposed a rescission of $20,000,000 from title III--
     Commodity Grants. The Senate bill proposed rescissions of 
     $43,865,000 from title I--Credit Sales, $6,135,000 from Ocean 
     Freight Differential, and $92,500,000 from title III--
     Commodity Grants.

                            RELATED AGENCIES

                 National Bankruptcy Review Commission

                          (Transfer of Funds)

       The conference agreement includes the transfer of 
     $1,000,000 from the Department of Justice Working Capital 
     Fund to the National Bankruptcy Review Commission. The Senate 
     bill included a transfer of $1,500,000 from the Working 
     Capital Fund for the National Bankruptcy Review Commission, 
     as proposed by the Administration. The House bill did not 
     provide funds to the National Bankruptcy Review Commission, 
     but rescinded $1,500,000 in unobligated balances from the 
     Working Capital Fund.
       [[Page H5028]] Given the obvious constraints on the 
     Committees' resources in fiscal year 1996, the conferees urge 
     the Commission to explore ways to accomplish its mission 
     within the amounts provided.

                    United States Information Agency

                 international broadcasting operations

       The conference agreement includes a supplemental 
     appropriation of $7,290,000, the amount requested by the 
     Administration, to be provided to Radio Free Europe/Radio 
     Liberty (RFE/RL) to make up for currency exchange losses, as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate proposed a rescission of 
     $27,710,000 from International Broadcasting Operations, which 
     includes RFE/RL and the Voice of America (VOA).
       International broadcasting programs are in the middle of a 
     major downsizing and reorganization mandated by the 1994 
     authorization bill, the United States International 
     Broadcasting Act of 1994. As it is being implemented, the 
     total savings of the reorganization over the four-year period 
     1994-1997 will exceed $400 million. The rescission proposed 
     by the Senate would make it impossible to complete that 
     action, and, in fact, in the words of the Director of the 
     United States Information Agency, ``will throw both VOA and 
     RFE/RL into a complete state of chaos for the remainder of FY 
     1995, with ramifications extending well beyond.''
       RFE/RL has already been severely impacted by the fall of 
     the dollar against the German mark, totaling potentially $24 
     million, which is the reason for the supplemental 
     recommendation by the conferees, to at least partially offset 
     the costs of the exchange losses.
       In lieu of the Senate passed rescission of International 
     Broadcasting funds, the conferees have agreed to rescind 
     $28,000,000 from other USIA broadcasting and exchange 
     programs, which are set forth under the rescissions portion 
     of this chapter.

                         DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

                       Office of Justice Programs

                              drug courts

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $22,100,000 from the Drug Courts program, instead of 
     $27,750,000 as proposed by the House and $17,100,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.

                      ounce of prevention council

       The conference agreement includes language requested by the 
     Administration which allows funds appropriated for grants by 
     the Ounce of Prevention Council in Public Law 103-317 to also 
     be available for administrative expenses of the Council. The 
     language also allows the Council to accept, hold, administer 
     and use gifts, both real and personal, for the purpose of 
     facilitating its work. This language was included in both the 
     House and Senate versions of the bill.
       The conference agreement does not include the rescission of 
     $1,000,000 from this account as proposed by the Senate.

       The conference agreement includes a rescission totaling 
     $5,500,000 from unobligated balances available in the Working 
     Capital fund, instead of $1,500,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $5,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees have 
     also agreed to the transfer of $1,000,000 from the Working 
     Capital Fund for necessary expenses of the National 
     Bankruptcy Review Commission, instead of $1,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.

     $1,000,000 from the Immigration and Naturalization Service as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.

                         Federal Prison System

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES
       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $28,037,000 as proposed by the Administration, not included 
     in either the House or Senate bills, to partially offset the 
     antiterrorism supplemental included in a separate title. 
     These funds represent balances the Bureau of Prisons has 
     indicated are not necessary and will expire at the end of 
     this fiscal year due to adjustments in the schedule of new 
     facility activations.

                         DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

             National Institute of Standards and Technology

             scientific and technical research and services

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $17,000,000 from the National Institute of Standards and 
     Technology (NIST) internal research account, instead of 
     $16,500,000 as proposed by the House, and $19,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees expect NIST and the 
     Department of Commerce to submit a reprogramming 
     notification, under the Committee's standard reprogramming 
     procedures, indicating the proposed distribution of this 
     reduction by research category in accordance with the 
     guidance given in the House and Senate reports accompanying 
     this bill.

                     industrial technology services

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $16,300,000 from the NIST Industrial Technology Services 
     account for Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) Program 
     and the Quality Program, instead of $27,100,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $3,100,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                  construction of research facilities

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $30,000,000 from unobligated balances available in the NIST 
     Construction account as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     bill included no provision on this matter.
            National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

                  operations, research and facilities

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $24,200,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
     Administration (NOAA), instead of $37,000,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $23,100,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     distribution of this rescission is as follows:

National Undersea Research Program (NURP)...................-$3,500,000
Coastal Ocean Program........................................-3,000,000
High Performance Computing...................................-1,000,000
Climate and Global Change...................................-14,000,000
Aircraft Services (Doppler Radar)............................-2,700,000

       The conferees expect NOAA to submit a notification under 
     the Committees' standard reprogramming procedures, informing 
     the Committees of the proposed distribution by activity of 
     the rescissions provided for the NURP and Coastal Ocean 
     programs.
       The conferees direct the National Marine and Fisheries 
     Service (NMFS) to immediately convene a team of experts to 
     scientifically peer review and examine all the information 
     available on its March 14, 1995, Sea Turtle, Shrimp Fishery 
     Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and the NMFS and NOAA Sea 
     Turtle Conservation Restrictions Applicable to Shrimp 
     Trawling Activities announced in the May 3, 1995 Federal 
     Register. The conferees direct that individuals with 
     appropriate scientific expertise nominated by the shrimp 
     fishing industry and the conservation community be part of 
     the peer process and team.
       The conferees also direct NMFS to immediately seek detailed 
     recommendations and analysis from affected shrimp industry 
     members and the conservation community on its March 14, 1995 
     restrictions, including a detailed assessment of the economic 
     impact on the affected shrimp fishing industry. The Assistant 
     Administrator shall convene immediate meetings with 
     representatives of such groups to review and develop such 
     recommendations.
       The conferees direct NMFS to work with the shrimp fishing 
     industry to revise its March 14, 1995 Emergency Response Plan 
     and its May 3, 1995 restrictions to include the results of 
     the scientific peer review and the alternatives for lessening 
     the economic impact on the shrimp fishing industry. These 
     alternatives may include exemptions to using turtle excluder 
     devices (TEDs) in smaller try nets. NMFS is directed to 
     publish for public comment and input only the revised plans 
     for the May 14, 1995 Emergency Response Plan and the May 3, 
     1995 restrictions by June 30, 1995. The conferees direct NMFS 
     and the Department of Commerce not to implement any shrimp 
     fishery closures, that may result from the March 14, 1995 
     ERP, prior to September 30, 1995.
       Due to the urgency of this situation, the conferees intend 
     that the scientific peer review process and the meetings 
     between NMFS and the affected industry and conservation 
     groups will be exempt from Federal Advisory Committee Act 
     (FACA) requirements.

                              construction

       The conference agreement rescinds $15,000,000 from the NOAA 
     Construction account, as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     bill contained no provision on this matter. The conferees 
     intend that this rescission be distributed as follows: 
     $9,000,000 from unobligated balances for the replacement of 
     the Tiburon laboratory and $6,000,000 from unobligated 
     balances designated for above standard costs at the Boulder 
     laboratory.

                    goes satellite contingency fund

       The conferees have included a rescission of $2,500,000 from 
     the remaining balances in the GOES Contingency Fund, as 
     proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no provision 
     on this matter.

                       technology administration

       under secretary for technology/office of technology policy

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $1,750,000 from the Under Secretary for Technology/Office of 
     Technology Policy account, instead of $3,300,000 as proposed 
     by the House. The Senate bill includes no provision on this 
     matter.

                 National Technical Information Service

                          ntis revolving fund

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $1,000,000 from the NTIS Revolving Fund, including 
     appropriated amounts and offsetting collections received into 
     the Fund. The House bill rescinded $4,000,000 of appropriated 
     amounts from this account, and the Senate bill a rescission 
     of $7,600,000 of appropriated amounts.
      [[Page H5029]] National Telecommunications and Information 
                             Administration

                       information infrastructure

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $4,000,000 from the National Telecommunications and 
     Information Administration (NTIA) Information Infrastructure 
     Grant program. The House bill included a rescission of 
     $30,000,000 from this account. The Senate bill included no 
     provision on this matter. An additional rescission of 
     $15,000,000 from this account was included in the conference 
     agreement on H.R. 889 (Public Law 104-6).

                  Economic Development Administration

                economic development assistance programs

       The conference agreement includes a rescission totaling 
     $30,250,000 from the Economic Development Assistance Programs 
     account under the Economic Development Administration. This 
     amount includes $5,250,000 in remaining balances from prior 
     year emergency appropriations for Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki 
     and the Midwest floods, and $25,000,000 from amounts in 
     fiscal year 1995 that were set aside for the proposed 
     Competitive Communities program, which was never approved by 
     Congress. The $25,000,000 rescission should be distributed 
     proportionately to the categories which served as the source 
     of the original reprogramming proposal--Defense Conversion 
     and traditional title XI grants. The conferees note that more 
     than $2,000,000 in unobligated balances related to the 
     emergency supplements for Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki and the 
     Midwest floods will remain available for projects currently 
     in the funding pipeline.
       The House bill included a rescission totaling $45,084,000 
     under this heading, of which $37,584,000 was from prior year 
     emergency appropriations and $7,500,000 was from the other 
     prior year projects. Most of these funds have since been 
     obligated. The Senate rescissions totaled $47,384,000, of 
     which $7,384,000 was from prior year emergency appropriations 
     and $40,000,000 was from funds made available to EDA for 
     fiscal year 1995.
       Although EDA's proposed Competitive Communities program was 
     denied by the Congress, the conferees are disturbed by recent 
     actions that appear to pursue the Competitive Communities 
     proposal. The conferees note that the cornerstone of the 
     Competitive Communities proposal was to provide single grant-
     loans to private industries. The conferees also note that the 
     Congress specially rejected this policy change when the 
     Competitive Communities proposal was denied. The conferees 
     understand that while single purpose grant-loans have been 
     awarded by EDA in the past, these types of grants had been 
     the exception rather than the rule: between 1982 and 1992, 
     only 18 single grant-loans were awarded. In the last two 
     years, however 8, single grant-loans have been awarded. The 
     conferees believe that this dramatic increase in the number 
     of single grant-loans awarded represent a major policy change 
     away from the traditional Title IX programs--a change of 
     which the Appropriations Committees were not apprised. The 
     conferees strongly disagree with this policy shift, and 
     expect EDA to continue to give highest priority to the 
     traditional and more flexible Title IX programs: multi-
     purpose revolving loan funds, infrastructure and technical 
     assistance. The conferees strongly encourage EDA to use 
     remaining unobligated Title IX funds for traditional Title IX 
     programs.

                             THE JUDICIARY
               United States Court of International Trade

                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $1,000,000 from amounts provided in fiscal year 1995 for the 
     U.S. Court of International trade, as proposed by the Senate. 
     The House bill contained no provision on this matter. This 
     amount has been identified as excess by the Court, and will 
     have no impact on its operations.

    Courts of Appeals, District courts, and Other Judicial Services

                           defender services

       The conference agreement includes a rescission totaling 
     $9,500,000 from the Judiciary's Defender Services account. 
     The House bill included a rescission of $1,100,000 from this 
     account, and the Senate bill rescinded $4,100,000. The 
     conferees have agreed to the Senate level, plus the 
     additional $5,400,000 proposed by the Judiciary as an offset 
     to the anti-terrorism supplemental included in a separate 
     title in this bill.

                    fees of jurors and commissioners

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $5,000,000 from the Judiciary's Fees of Jurors and 
     Commissioners account. This rescission was not included in 
     either the House or Senate version of the bill, but was 
     proposed by the Judiciary as an offset to the anti-terrorism 
     supplemental request which is addressed in another title in 
     this bill.

                            RELATED AGENCIES

                     Small Business Administration

                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes no rescission under this 
     heading. Both the House and Senate versions of the bill 
     included a rescission of $15,000,000 from the Small Business 
     Administration's tree planting program, but this rescission 
     was included in the conference agreement on H.R. 889 (Public 
     Law 104-6) and is no longer available.

                     business loans program account

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $6,000,000 from the Small Business Administration's Business 
     Loans Program Account, instead of $15,000,000 as proposed by 
     the Senate. The House bill contained no provision on this 
     matter.
       The conferees intend that the rescission of $6,000,000 be 
     applied as follows: $4,000,000 from the subsidy amounts 
     available under the Microloan program, and $2,000,000 from 
     other loan programs referenced in the Senate report.
       The conference agreement also includes language clarifying 
     the availability of funds provided to the SBA in fiscal year 
     1994 and fiscal year 1995 for the National Center for Genome 
     Resources.

                       Legal Services Corporation

               payment to the legal services corporation

       The conference agreement includes language not in either 
     bill that delineates reductions to the Legal Services 
     Corporation included in a prior rescission of funds and 
     provides no further rescission. The House bill included a 
     rescission of $5,849,000. The Senate bill contained no 
     provision on this matter. The conferees note that a 
     $15,000,000 rescission to the Corporation was included in 
     Public Law 104-6.
       The conference agreement includes language, not in either 
     bill, allocating the reductions contained in Public Law 104-
     6. The conferees believe that any reductions should be taken 
     out of lower priority programs, in order to minimize the 
     impact on the basic field programs which provide direct legal 
     assistance of individuals and are the central mission of the 
     Corporation. The reductions delineated are based on: (1) 
     reductions of the unanticipated carryover balances by 
     program; (2) reductions of the supplemental and specialized 
     delivery programs, which are in addition to the basic field 
     programs, to their Fiscal Year 1994 levels; (3) reductions of 
     support programs, which do not provide direct legal 
     assistance to individuals, to their Fiscal year 1993 levels; 
     and (4) reductions of Corporation management and grant 
     administration to the Fiscal Year 1994 levels.

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $2,250,000 from Diplomatic and Consular Programs of the 
     Department of State. The House bill included a rescission of 
     $2,000,000, and the Senate bill included a rescission of 
     $2,500,000.

     as proposed by the Senate. The House Bill included a 
     rescission of $23,000,000.

              International Organizations and Conferences

        contributions for international peacekeeping activities

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $14,617,000 from the International Peacekeeping Activities 
     account,which funds the payment of assessed costs of United 
     Nations peacekeeping operations, as proposed by both the 
     House and the Senate. Of this amount, $1,216,000 is rescinded 
     from the amount previously appropriated for the United 
     Nations Operation in Somalia and $13,401,000 is rescinded 
     from the amount previously provided for the United Nation's 
     Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara.

     appropriated for the implementation of the Chemical Weapons 
     Conventions, and $1,500,000 is rescinded as a general 
     administrative reduction. The House proposed a rescission of 
     $3,000,000, of which $2,000,000 was from the Chemical Weapons 
     Convention, and $1,000,000 was a general administrative 
     reduction. The Senate proposed a rescission of $4,000,000, of 
     which $2,000,000 was from the Chemical Weapons Convention, 
     and $2,000,000 was a general administrative reduction.

     Construction account. Both the House and the Senate had 
     proposed a rescission of $6,000,000.

                            radio free asia

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $5,000,000 of the $10,000,000 appropriated in fiscal year 
     1995 for Radio Free Asia, instead of $6,000,000, as proposed 
     by the Senate. The House bill had no similar provision.
       None of the fiscal year 1995 appropriation for Radio Free 
     Asia has been spent or obligated. Under the authorizing 
     legislation, the United States International Broadcasting Act 
     of 1994, no funds can be spent on Radio Free Asia until a new 
     Broadcasting Board of Governors is in place and has submitted 
     a detailed plan within 90 days for the establishment and 
     operation of Radio Free Asia. As of this point, the full 
     Board has not been nominated, let alone confirmed, and 
     obviously, no plan has been submitted. Since the fiscal year 
     is more than half over, and the likelihood of the full 
     appropriation being obligated this year is remote, the 
     conferees have agreed to rescind one-half of the 
     appropriation for this fiscal year.

       Columbia River Juvenile Fish Mitigation, Oregon and 
     Washington.--The conferees reiterate language regarding the 
     juvenile fish mitigation program and surface collection 
     bypass systems contained in Senate Report 103-291 and agreed 
     to in the statement of the managers accompanying Public Law 
     103-316, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, 
     1995. The conferees expect the Corps of Engineers to move 
     forward aggressively to test and install project 
     modifications that improve the effectiveness and efficiency 
     of bypass systems. One modification, identified by both 
     Federal and private engineers, is baffled or slotted spillway 
     gates. Experience from non-Federal Columbia River dams 
     indicates that slotted spillway gates could improve fish 
     passage efficiency and reduce dissolved gas saturation 
     levels, as well as the cost of the fish spill program. A 
     larger percentage of juvenile fish could be passed through 
     the project using significantly less water than would occur 
     with existing, unmodified spillways.
       The conferees direct the Corps to begin work immediately to 
     design, construct and test spillway gate modifications at The 
     Dalles and on one other project by next spring. The Corps is 
     encouraged to use private sector engineering firms and any 
     other available means to accelerate the work, as necessary, 
     to assist in completing this effort early in 1996. The Corps 
     shall report to the Committees on Appropriations on the 
     progress of this effort by August 15, 1995.

     broadly as possible without targeting, disproportionately 
     affecting or terminating any single project or activity, 
     including congressional directives and priorities. Reductions 
     should be taken against low priority, noncritical activities 
     to the greatest extent possible, and the Department should 
     use this as an opportunity to review and reduce uncosted 
     balances remaining in many program areas.

           Energy Supply, Research and Development Activities

       The conference agreement rescinds $74,000,000 for Energy 
     Supply, Research and Development Activities instead of 
     $116,500,000 as proposed by the House and $71,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. Differences between the House and 
     Senate recommendations are explained below.
       Solar and Renewable Energy.--The conferees agree to rescind 
     $30,000,000 instead of $35,000,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $25,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees 
     direct that renewable energy programs that are being cost-
     shared with U.S. industry for research and development and 
     commercialization collaboratives and technology validation be 
     preserved, to the extent possible, so that program downsizing 
     will not adversely affect the industry co-investors in U.S. 
     programs. Also, reductions should be applied, to the extent 
     possible, to increases provided in fiscal year 1995 over the 
     fiscal year 1994 levels including the global climate change 
     programs in order to preserve needed research priorities.
       Environmental, Safety and Health.--The conference agreement 
     includes a rescission of $6,000,000 as proposed by the House 
     and the Senate.
       Biological and Environmental Research.--The conferees agree 
     to rescind $10,000,000 instead of $15,000,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $5,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Fusion Energy.--The conferees agree to rescind $7,500,000 
     instead of $15,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     had proposed no rescission for this program. The conferees 
     direct that the fiscal year 1995 rescission be taken evenly 
     from every component of the program, domestic and 
     international, and that no program or project should be held 
     harmless.
       Basic Energy Sciences.--The conference agreement rescinds 
     $5,000,000 as proposed by the House and the Senate.
       Advanced Neutron Source.--The conference agreement rescinds

     the House and the Senate.

     (Nondefense).--The conferees have proposed no rescission for 
     this program as proposed by the Senate instead of $45,000,000

       The conference agreement provides new budget authority of 
     $275,000,000 for ``Debt relief for Jordan'', the same as the 
     budget request. The House had proposed an appropriation of 
     $50,000,000 for this purpose to cover debt owed by Jordan for 
     direct loans issued by the Department of Defense, the Agency 
     for International Development, and the Export-Import Bank. 
     The Senate amendment would have provided new budget authority 
     of $275,000,000 to cover debt owed by Jordan for direct loans 
     issued by these agencies as well as by the Department of 
     Agriculture's P.L. 480 program and by the Commodity Credit 
     Corporation. However, the Senate amendment would have limited 
     obligations in fiscal year 1995 to $50,000,000. The 
     conference agreement does not contain any such limitation on 
     obligations.

                       National Biological Survey

     Research, Inventories, and Surveys, instead of $16,680,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $12,544,000 as proposed by the

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       The conference agreement does not identify specific program 
     cuts for the research, inventory and monitoring, and 
     information transfer activities.
       The managers recognize that rescissions at this time of 
     year have significant impacts on agency programs, facilities, 
     and personnel. Future budgets are unlikely to allow for 
     restoration of the funds proposed for rescission, thus, lower 
     priority areas should be the focus of fiscal year 1995 
     adjustments. The agency should try to avoid facility closures 
     in this fiscal year. But, in preparing for action on the 
     fiscal year 1996 budget, the National Biological Service 
     should review all programs and facilities in light of the 
     need for possible future reductions, closures, or 
     consolidations.

       The conference agreement rescinds $20,890,000 from 
     Construction, instead of $22,831,000 as provided by the House 
     and $25,970,000 as proposed by the Senate. The managers agree

       Bill language has been included to specify that the 
     rescission applies to fiscal year 1995 and prior year funds.

                     urban park and recreation fund

       The conference agreement rescinds $7,480,000 from the Urban 
     Park and Recreation Fund as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate. This will eliminate the program in fiscal year 
     1995.
       While the program's goal of providing incentives for cities 
     to improve their recreational opportunities is of value, the 
     managers believe that, given the size of the federal deficit, 
     programs of this nature are appropriately left to State and 
     local governments.
                 Land Acquisition and State Assistance

       The conference agreement rescinds $13,634,000 from Land 
     Acquisition and State Assistance, instead of $16,509,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $9,983,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The managers agree to the following rescissions:

                    Minerals Management Service

                Royalty and Offshore Minerals Management

       The conference agreement rescinds $514,000 from Royalty and 
     Offshore Minerals Management for environmental studies, 
     instead of $0 as proposed by the House and $814,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The managers expect the Service to initiate the 
     Northeastern Gulf of Mexico circulation modeling study in 
     fiscal year 1995 as planned. As in the past, the managers 
     encourage the Service to concentrate its Outer Continental 
     Shelf environmental study efforts in those areas where there 
     is active leasing and production.

       The $750,000 proposed for rescission from forward-funded 
     education programs should be derived by reducing travel not 
     related to student transportation. This decrease should be 
     derived by taking a pro rata reduction to forward-funded 
     Indian School Equalization Program (ISEP) formula funds.

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     reduction for construction, as proposed by the Senate, but 
     has replaced that rescission with reductions of $500,000 for 
     education facility improvement and rehabilitation and 
     $500,000 for resource management.
       Bill language has been included to specify that the 
     rescission applies to fiscal year 1995 and prior year funds.

       The managers have included a rescission of $2,000,000 which 
     is an offset for funds which are available from unobligated 
     prior year balances in the gas research ($720,000) and coal 
     research ($1,280,000) programs. These reductions are taken to 
     replace partially the fiscal year 1995 funds that were 
     recommended for rescission by both the House and the Senate 
     but which have been obligated by the Department since the 
     original rescission recommendations were made.

                 naval petroleum and oil shale reserves

       The conference agreement includes no rescission from the 
     Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves, instead of 
     $21,000,000 as proposed by the House and $11,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.

                          energy conservation

     Conservation, instead of $59,928,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $48,628,000 as proposed by the Senate. The managers agree 
     to the following rescissions:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     reduction in transportation programs, as proposed by the 
     Senate, but has replaced that rescission with reductions of 
     $500,000 for alternative fuels activities, excluding Federal 
     fleet purchases, and $500,000 for electric and hybrid 
     vehicles.
       The managers agree that the Department of Energy should 
     ensure that all the remaining, available funds for Federal 
     fleet vehicle purchases of alternatively fueled vehicles 
     should be used for a well-balanced program which includes 
     both original equipment manufactured vehicles and converted 
     vehicles. The Department should concentrate its limited 
     resources on getting these vehicles widely spread across all 
     non-Defense Federal agencies. The long-term viability of the 
     program depends on participation by all Federal agencies. The 
     Department of Defense funds its own program for alternatively 
     fueled vehicle purchases. The funds currently available to 
     the Department of Energy should concentrate on the other 
     agencies. None of the funds available from fiscal year 1995 
     or from prior year appropriations should be used for the 
     purchase of alternatively fueled vehicles for the Department 
     of Defense. Further, all Federal agencies should be 
     encouraged to budget for future alternatively fueled vehicle 
     purchases in their own budget requests.
       The managers expect that the rescission for the 
     weatherization assistance program should not interfere with 
     the adoption of the new distribution formula. The new formula 
     should be applied and this rescission should then be assessed 
     against each State in the same proportion as the funds were 
     distributed under the new formula.
       The managers agree that the many new programs funded in 
     fiscal year 1995 and proposed for funding in fiscal year 
     1996, through the climate change action plan, should not be 
     protected at the expense of successful, ongoing programs.

     The managers have restored $19.4 million of the funds 
     proposed for rescission by the House to begin construction of 
     the National Museum of the American Indian Cultural Resources 
     Center in Suitland, Maryland. This will bring the total 
     federal contribution to date for this project to $27.8 
     million including all planning and design costs.
       While the managers are sensitive of the need to provide for 
     the adequate storage and conservation needs of the National 
     Museum of the American Indian collection, the managers are 
     concerned about the total operating and construction costs 
     associated with the Custom House facility in New York, the 
     Cultural Resource Center in Maryland and the proposed Mall 
     Museum. The managers encourage the Smithsonian to seek 
     nonFedeal funding to assist with the construction of the 
     Suitland facility and further urge the Smithsonian to work 
     with the House and Senate Appropriations Committees to reduce 
     the scope and cost of the resource center.
       The managers also direct the Smithsonian to develop 
     additional cost scenarios for the proposed Mall facility, 
     including downsizing the museum building and decreasing the 
     amount of Federal appropriations.
       The managers urge the Smithsonian to name an independent 
     board to review the Institutions complete collections. The 
     Smithsonian currently owns or leases 40 storage facilities to 
     house the 138 million objects in its collections. Providing 
     adequate and appropriate space for these collections emerges 
     repeatedly as the most critical collections management 
     priority. Because of the severe lack of adequate space, 
     objects are stored in potentially dangerous conditions. In 
     light of current budget constraints the managers believe it 
     is prudent for the Smithsonian to begin to evaluate all its 
     collections with a view towards possible downsizing of the 
     collections as one means to address the storage problems.
       Of the $375,000 currently available for planning of the 
     National Air and Space Museum Extension, $275,000 is 
     rescinded. The managers continue to have serious concerns 
     regarding the federal government's ultimate responsibility 
     for costs associated with the Smithsonian's involvement in 
     this project. The managers understand that construction costs 
     for this project will be financed through a combination of 
     state and local funding, including bonds and an interest-fee 
     loan. Prior to appropriating additional planning dollars for 
     this project, the managers require more detailed information 
     and binding commitments regarding the revised scope of the 
     project and how it will be financed. Documentation of 
     estimated operating costs will be necessary in order for the 
     managers to make an informed decision on future funding. It 
     is the managers intention that no federal funds will be 
     appropriated for the construction of this facility.

     as proposed by the House.
       The managers agree that none of the funds available to the 
     Center for outfitting space in the Federal Triangle Building 
     or for other moving-related expenses may be used until the 
     Center has fully delineated to the House and Senate 
     Appropriations Committees the complete costs of the move and 
     subsequent annual operating expenses. This information should 
     be transmitted in writing to the Committee for approval using 
     established reprogramming procedures.

     which prohibits the Department of the Interior from expending 
     funds to search for the Alabama sturgeon in the Alabama 
     River, the Cahaba River, the Tombigbee River or the 
     Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in Alabama or Mississippi. The

       Section 502. The conference agreement includes language 
     proposed by the Senate in Section 503 of the Senate bill 
     which prohibits the Forest Service from expending funds to 
     implement Habitat Conservation Areas (HCAs) in the Tongass 
     NF, AK for unlisted species except in certain cases for 
     goshawks, and requires Congressional notification of timber 
     sales which may be delayed or canceled due to Goshawk HCAs. 
     The House bill included no similar provision.
       Section 503. The conference agreement includes language 
     proposed by the Senate in Section 2011 of the Senate bill 
     which deems sufficient certain environmental impact 
     statements or subsistence evaluations prepared for a timber 
     sale to one party if the Forest Service sells the timber to 
     an alternate buyer. The House bill included no similar 
     provision.
       Section 504. The conference agreement modifies language 
     proposed by the Senate in Section 2013 of the Senate bill 
     which requires each Forest Service unit to establish and

     grazing permits and further addresses expired permits for 
     grazing on Forest Service lands. The House bill included no 
     similar provision.
       The conference agreement deletes language proposed by the 
     Senate in Section 502 of the Senate bill regarding access to

     similar provision.
       The conference agreement includes language under Title II 
     relating to the salvage, Pacific Northwest forest plan, and

       The conferees encourage the Labor Department to consider 
     closing Job Corps centers with persistently poor performance 
     to offset increased costs necessary in subsequent years to 
     complete opening of new centers.
       The conferees note that $184,788,000 of the 1995 summer 
     youth funds were provided as an add-on in the fiscal 1995 
     bill, over the amount originally provided in fiscal year 
     1994. These supplemental funds are available July 1, 1995. 
     Given the uncertainty over fiscal year 1996 appropriations 
     due to extremely tight budget constraints, the Labor 
     Department should not discourage project sponsors from 
     reserving these funds for the 1996 summer program.
       The conference agreement for JTPA pilots and demonstrations 
     includes $1,400,000 for the Microenterprise Grants program 
     and $2,500,000 for the American Samoan employment and 
     training program. For microenterprise grants, the agreement 
     is sufficient to fund continuation costs. For the American 
     Samoan program, priority should be given to continuing 
     activities of a State agency with a proven track record 
     involving American Samoan job training.

            community service employment for older americans

       Rescinds $14,440,000 as proposed in both the House and 
     Senate bills.

     state unemployment insurance and employment service operations

       Rescinds $20,000,000 for one-stop career centers as 
     proposed by the Senate, instead of $12,000,000 as proposed by 
     the House, and reduces the limitation on trust funds by 
     $67,700,000 as proposed by the Senate instead of $47,700,000 
     as proposed by the House.

                  Employment Standards Administration

                         salaries and expenses

       Deletes rescission of $2,487,000 proposed by the House. The 
     Senate included no rescission for this account.

             Occupational Safety and Health Administration

                         salaries and expenses

       Deletes rescission of $19,572,000 proposed by the House. 
     The Senate included no rescission for this account. The 
     conference agreement includes bill language in section 602 
     under General Provisions related to the proposed ergonomics 
     standards.

                       Bureau of Labor Statistics

                         salaries and expenses

       Rescinds $700,000 instead of $1,100,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House included no rescission for this account.

                           general provision

       Inserts a general provision (section 602) that prohibits 
     the Occupational Safety and Health Administration from 
     promulgating or issuing any proposed or final standard or 
     guideline with respect to ergonomic protection but permits 
     the agency to conduct any peer-reviewed risk assessment 
     activity regarding ergonomics.
       Deletes a Department of Labor general provision proposed by 
     the Senate that would have rescinded $8,975,000 throughout 
     the Department for compliance assistance and enforcement 
     activities. The House included no similar provision.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

              Health Resources and Services Administration

                     Health Resources and Services

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $41,350,000 in 1995 funding for health resources and services 
     instead of $53,925,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $42,071,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement 
     allocates this rescission as shown on the following table:

     The conferees intend that the agency may use $3,000,000 of 
     funds appropriated for the National Health Service Corps for 
     State offices of rural health. The conferees intend that 
     $3,000,000 of the funds rescinded come from field placements 
     rather than recruitment activities.
       The conferees intend that $300,000 of the Native Hawaiian 
     health care funding shall be made available for the 
     administrative grant and that of the funds remaining, 
     priority shall be given to the health systems network and 
     scholarship program in that order.
       The conferees are agreed that the $1,500,000 in remaining 
     funding for the Pacific Basin initiative is to be used only 
     for the continuation costs of students currently receiving 
     assistance in the medical officer training program. Upon 
     completion of the training of the current cohort of students, 
     the training program will be terminated. The conferees are 
     agreed that the portion of the program which supports 
     projects to build capacity and improve health services and 
     systems is terminated.
       The conferees encourage the agency to use the remaining 
     funds in the rural health outreach program consistent with 
     the priorities indicated in the 1995 appropriations bill 
     reports.
       The conferees intend that rural telemedicine initiatives 
     continue to be given high priority in the rural research 
     program.

               Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

                disease control, research, and training

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $2,300,000 in 1995 funding for the Centers for Disease 
     Control and Prevention instead of $8,883,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $1,300,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     agreement allocates this rescission as shown on the following 
     table:

                     National Institutes of Health

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $10,000,000 in 1995 funding for extramural facility 
     construction and renovation instead of $20,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate bill contained no similar 
     provision. The conferees intend that $2,500,000 of the 
     remaining $10,000,000 in funding be allocated to qualified 
     regional primate centers as originally indicated in the 1995 
     appropriations bill conference report.

                        buildings and facilities

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $60,000,000 in fiscal year 1995 and prior year funds for 
     intramural research construction projects that are no longer 
     anticipated to be built. The House proposed a $50,000,000 
     rescission and the Senate proposed a $79,289,000 rescission.

              Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health

       Rescinds $1,400,000 as proposed by the House, instead of 
     $2,320,000 as proposed by the Senate, thereby terminating all 
     remaining unobligated funding for Health Care Reform Data 
     Analysis. Funding for Streamlining activities was obligated 
     prior to the meeting of the conferees, and no rescission is 
     included for this program.

                    health care policy and research

     proposed by the House and $15,700,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The agreement allocates this rescission as shown on 
     the following table:

       [[Page H5039]] The conferees intend that rural telemedicine 
     initiatives continue to be given high priority consistent 
     with the 1995 appropriations reports.

                     Social Security Administration

                  supplemental security income program

       Deletes language proposed by the Senate that would have 
     rescinded $67,000,000 from this account. The House included 
     no rescission for this account.

                 limitation on administrative expenses

       Deletes language proposed by the Senate that would have 
     rescinded $88,283,000 from this account. The House included 
     no rescission for this account. The conferees agree to defer 
     without prejudice the Senate recommended reduction of 
     automation investment funds, with the intent that this matter 
     be addressed during consideration of the regular fiscal year 
     1996 Labor, Health & Human Services and Education 
     appropriations bill.

                Administration for Children and Families

                   job opportunities and basic skills

       Inserts a provision proposed by the Senate to rescind 
     $330,000,000, the amount by which the 1995 appropriation for 
     this account is estimated to exceed allowable State claims, 
     and inserts language to amend Section 403 of the Social 
     Security Act to reduce State entitlements in those cases 
     where funds will not be utilized. The House included no 
     similar provision for this account.
                   Low Income Home Energy Assistance

       Rescinds $319,204,000, instead of $1,319,204,000 as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate included no rescission for 
     this account. The conference agreement includes a provision 
     extending the availability of $300,000,000 of previously-
     appropriated emergency contingency funding, subject to 
     submission to Congress of a formal budget request by the 
     President that includes designation of the entire amount of 
     the request as an emergency requirement as defined in the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. 
     The conferees intend that States give priority to using 
     LIHEAP funds for heating assistance rather than cooling 
     assistance.

              State Legalization Impact-Assistance Grants

       Rescinds $2,000,000, instead of $6,000,000 as proposed by 
     the Senate, from amounts appropriated for language and civics 
     instruction. The House included no rescission for this 
     account.

                     Community Services Block Grant

       Rescinds $15,287,000, instead of $26,988,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $12,888,000 as proposed by the Senate. The

       The conference agreement includes a provision permitting 
     all remaining funding for the Native Hawaiian Alaska Native 
     Culture and Arts Development program to be awarded to a 
     project in Alaska. The rescission for the Byrd Honors 
     Scholarship program is less than proposed by the House and 
     Senate bills because funds were obligated prior to the 
     meeting of the conference. The rescission for the Law School 
     Clinical program is less than provided in either the House or 
     Senate bill due to new Departmental estimates which indicate 
     the cost of non-competing continuations is greater than 
     previously reported to 
     [[Page H5041]] the subcommittees. The conference agreement 
     contains language proposed in the House bill prohibiting the 
     expenditure of funds for doctoral degree study under the 
     Harris program. The rescission for Faculty Development 
     Scholarships is greater than provided in either the House of 
     Senate bill due to revised Departmental estimates of 
     unobligated balances in the program.

                           howard university

       Rescinds $1,800,000 from the regular academic program as 
     proposed by both the House and Senate. The conference 
     agreement does not include a rescission for Howard University 
     Construction. The House proposed a rescission of $2,500,000 
     for construction, and the Senate proposed a rescission of 
     $1,500,000 for the same program.

         college housing and academic facilities loans program

       Inserts a provision as proposed by the House and Senate to 
     repeal the authority to subsidize gross loans obligations. 
     Rescinds $168,000 as proposed by the House and Senate, from 
     amounts made available for direct loans. Rescinds $264,000, 
     instead of $322,000 as proposed by the House and Senate, for 
     administrative expenses. The conference agreement reduced 
     rescissions for administration because the balance of 1995 
     funding was obligated prior to the meeting of the conference.

             education research, statistics and improvement

       Rescinds $30,925,000, instead of $55,250,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $15,200,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     Conference Agreement includes the following rescissions:

                         program administration

       Deletes language proposed by the Senate that would have 
     rescinded $4,424,000. The House bill included no similar 
     provision.
                           general provision

                  federal direct student loan program

       Inserts a provision to rescind $61,000,000, instead of

     proposed by the Senate, from funds available under section 
     458(a) of the Higher Education Act for the administration of 
     the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. The conferees agree 
     that this reduction should not adversely affect the Federal 
     Family Education Loan Program and therefore direct the 
     Department to continue to pay administrative cost allowances 
     to all guaranty agencies consistent with its formally-stated 
     policy for fiscal year 1995. The conferees direct the 
     Department to notify the House and Senate Appropriations 
     Subcommittees on Labor, Health & Human Services, and 
     Education prior to exercising borrowing authority authorized 
     by Section 458(a) of the Higher Education Act.

     funds available to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 
     fiscal year 1996. The conference agreement rescinds 
     $55,000,000, instead of $94,000,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $29,360,000 as proposed by the Senate, from funds 
     available to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 
     fiscal year 1997. The conferees direct, to the maximum extent 
     possible, that taxpayer funds made available to the 
     Corporation for Public Broadcasting shall be used to fund 
     public radio and television stations which serve rural, 
     underserved and unserved areas.

     would have prohibited the use of any funds in any 
     appropriations act for fiscal year 1995 to issue, administer 
     or enforce any executive order, or other rule or order, that 
     prohibits Federal contracts with companies that hire 
     permanent replacements for striking employees. The Senate 
     included no similar provision.

                      Joint Committee on Printing

       The conference agreement rescinds $238,137 of funds 
     provided for salaries and expenses of the Joint Committee on 
     Printing, as proposed by the Senate, instead of $418,000 and 
     a provision which transferred the remaining balances, as 
     proposed by the House.

                    Office of Technology Assessment

                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement rescinds $650,000 of funds 
     provided for the salaries and expenses of the Office of 
     Technology Assessment, as proposed by the House and Senate.

                      Congressional Budget Office

                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement rescinds $187,000 of funds 
     provided for the salaries and expenses of the Congressional

                        Architect of the Capitol

            capitol buildings and grounds--capitol buildings

       The Conferees agree not to rescind $2,500,000, as proposed 
     by the House and deleted by the Senate, of Capitol buildings 
     funds provided to the Architect of the Capitol for converting 
     and maintaining property and facilities at Fort Meade, MD. 
     for long term storage requirements of the Library of Congress 
     and other legislative branch entities. The conferees agree 
     with the language in the Senate report which directs the 
     Architect of the Capitol and Library of Congress to obtain 
     approval from the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations before proceeding with the obligation of 
     funds. The conferees believe that the remote book storage and 
     retrieval design must be cost effective and applicable to the 
     stated purposes of the need for off-site book storage.

                        senate office buildings

       The conferees have included an administrative provision 
     which makes technical corrections to legislation which 
     established a commission to recommend individuals to the 
     President for appointment to the office of Architect of the 
     Capitol, and adds the chairmen and ranking minority members 
     of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.

       The conference agreement rescinds $5,000,000 of funds

       The conference agreement rescinds $4,000,000 of funds 
     provided for salaries and expenses of the Botanic Garden, as 
     proposed by the House, instead of $7,000,000, as proposed by 
     the Senate. The Conference agreement also transfers 
     $3,000,000 of Botanic Garden no-year funds to Capitol complex 
     security enhancement within the account ``Architect of the 
     Capitol, Capitol Buildings and Grounds'', as proposed by the 
     House. These funds may not be expended unless approved by the 
     House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.

     provided for salaries and expenses of the Library of 
     Congress, as proposed by the House and Senate.

  books for the blind and physically handicapped salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement rescinds $100,000 of funds 
     provided for salaries and expenses of the Books for the Blind 
     and Physically Handicapped program, as proposed by the House 
     and Senate. These funds are available due to savings in 
     equipment requirements.

                       GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

                         salaries and expenses

     Senate. The conferees have also inserted a provision which 
     authorizes a separation incentive to GAO employees who retire 
     or voluntarily leave federal service before October 1, 1995. 
     This authority has been requested by the agency to assist in 
     carrying out staffing reductions. The conferees have been 
     advised that the intent is to use this authority to help 
     achieve a balance between necessary staffing realignments and 
     the maintenance of organizational skills and capabilities.

                         DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

                         military construction

       The conference agreement deletes language proposed by the 
     Senate, and not addressed in the House bill, which contained 
     rescissions totalling $230,834,000. This matter was addressed 
     in the Conference Report accompanying H.R. 889.

                              CHAPTER VII

           DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND RELATED AGENCIES

                      Department of Transportation

                        office of the secretary

           Transportation Planning, Research, and Development

       The conference agreement deletes the House provision to 
     rescind $1,293,000 from transportation planning, research, 
     and development. The Senate bill contained no similar 
     rescission.

                          Working Capital Fund

       The conference agreement lowers the fiscal year 1995 
     obligation limitation for the working capital fund by 
     $6,000,000 and includes a general provision (Sec. 801) 
     rescinding those funds, instead of lowering the obligation 
     limitation by $8,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $4,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
                        Payments to Air Carriers

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement rescinds $5,300,000 in contract 
     authority for payments to air carriers, as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House bill contained no similar rescission. This 
     rescission will have no effect on current air service 
     contracts. The conference agreement also includes a provision 
     proposed by the Senate that prohibits the Secretary of the 
     Department of Transportation from entering into any contracts 
     that extend beyond September 30, 1995, and deletes the 
     proposed Senate provision that prohibited payments authorized 
     under subchapter II of chapter 417, title 49, United States 
     Code.

                              coast guard

                           Operating Expenses

       The conference agreement deletes the supplemental 
     appropration of $28,197,000 for Coast Guard operating 
     expenses proposed by the House. These funds were intended to 
     cover the incremental costs associated with Haitian and Cuban 
     migrant interdiction activities during 1994. Funding of 
     $28,297,000 for these expenses was included in the Emergency 
     Supplemental Appropriations and Rescissions Act for the 
     Department of Defense (Public Law 104-6).

                           Operating Expenses

       The conference agreement rescinds $4,300,000 in Coast Guard 
     operating expenses instead of $6,440,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $3,700,000 as proposed by the Senate. A comparison 
     of the House and Senate proposals and the conference 
     agreement follows:

       Military rotations.--The conferees agree with the Senate 
     direction regarding allocation of the reduction in military 
     rotation expenses.

              Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements

       The conference agreement rescinds $35,314,000 from 
     ``Acquisition, construction, and improvements'' instead of 
     $42,569,000 as proposed by the House and $34,298,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. A comparison of the House and Senate

       HH-65 LTS-101 engine replacement.--The conferees agree not 
     to rescind funds for this project due to its impact on Coast 
     Guard operational missions such as search and rescue. 
     However, the conferees note that these funds were provided in 
     fiscal year 1991 for proof of concept evaluation of possible 
     re-engining options for the HH-65 helicopter, due to severe 
     reliability problems with the engine. That effort was later 
     terminated when design changes improved the engine's 
     performance. Since that time, the Coast Guard developed plans 
     to use these funds for general purpose improvements to the 
     existing LTS-101 engine gearbox. The conferees believe using 
     funds for this new project constituted a significant change 
     in the scope of a project, requiring Congressional approval 
     through the formal reprogramming process.
       Night vision goggles reprogramming.--The conferees approve 
     the reprogramming of funds from the cockpit voice and flight 
     data 
     [[Page H5043]] recorders program to the night vision goggles 
     program, as proposed by the Senate. These funds are no longer 
     needed for the original program, and will be used instead to 
     accelerate installation of night vision capability in Coast 
     Guard aircraft. This capability is particularly important for 
     search and rescue, drug interdiction, and maritime law 
     enforcement missions.

                Environmental Compliance and Restoration

       The conference agreement rescinds $2,500,000 in 
     ``Environmental compliance and restoration'' instead of 
     $3,500,000 as proposed by the House and $400,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate. According to the Coast Guard, as of March 31, 
     1995, this appropriation had a total unobligated balance of 
     $20,198,103. The conference agreement rescinds 12.4 percent 
     of this amount.

                    federal aviation administration

                               operations

       The conference agreement rescinds $1,000,000 in operating 
     expenses of the Federal Aviation Administration as proposed 
     by the Senate. The House bill contained no similar 
     rescission. The conference agreement deletes bill language 
     proposed by the Senate repealing the set-aside in the 
     Department of Transportation and Related Agencies 
     Appropriations Act, 1995 for permanent change of station 
     moves for air traffic controllers.

                        Facilities and Equipment

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement rescinds $24,850,000 from 
     ``Facilities and equipment'' instead of $69,825,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $31,850,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. An additional rescission of $35,000,000 from this 
     appropriation was contained in the recently-enacted Emergency 
     Supplemental Appropriations and Rescissions Act for the 
     Department of Defense (Public Law 104-6). This rescission had 
     been included in the House version of H.R. 1158, which 
     accounts for most of the difference between the House and 
     Senate bills. A comparison of the House and Senate proposals 
     and the conference agreement follows:

                 Research, Engineering, and Development

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement rescinds $7,500,000 in unobligated 
     balances from the FAA research, engineering, and development 
     appropriation, as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 
     The conferees agree that none of the reduction is to be 
     allocated to human factors research or safety research.
                       Grants-In-Aid for Airports

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement rescinds $2,094,000,000 in unused 
     contract authority for grants-in-aid for airports, instead of 
     $2,000,000,000 proposed by the Senate. The House bill 
     contained no similar rescission. The agreement includes the 
     rescission proposed by the Senate and, in addition, the 
     $94,000,000 proposed for rescission in a Presidential message 
     transmitted to the Congress on May 2, 1995. The entire amount 
     of the rescission is above the obligation limitation placed 
     on this appropriation by the Department of Transportation and 
     Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995 and is therefore 
     not available for obligation during fiscal year 1995.

                     federal highway administration

                Limitation on General Operating Expenses

       The fiscal year 1995 obligation limitation for general 
     operating expenses for the Federal Highway Administration is 
     reduced by $54,550,000, instead of $45,950,000 is proposed by 
     the Senate and $42,500,000 as proposed by the House. The 
     conference agreement includes the following program 
     rescissions:
                             LGOE programs

       The conferees agree that the joint program officer should 
     coordinate all ITS program activities and should have the 
     flexibility to manage each of these reductions, 
     notwithstanding where the funding may have been originally 
     earmarked.

                          Federal-Aid Highways

                      (Limitation on Obligations)

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement includes the rescission of 
     $132,190,000 in contract authority for the federal-aid 
     highways program instead of $70,140,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $123,590,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conference agreement provides for the rescission of the 
     following programs:
                                                   Conference agreement

     congestion pricing pilot program as proposed by the Senate. 
     The House bill contained no similar rescission.
       The conferees agree not to rescind $139,948,000 in contract 
     authority for highway demonstration projects provided in 
     Public Laws 97-424 and 100-17, as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House bill contained no similar rescissions.
       Ellis Island Bridge.--The conferees agree to make available 
     for other parkways and park highways under the Federal Lands 
     program the $15,000,000 set aside for the Ellis Island Bridge 
     as proposed by the House.

                          Federal-Aid Highways

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement deletes the Senate provision to 
     rescind $690,074 of contract authority from Public Law 100-
     17. The House bill contained no similar rescission.
                        Emergency Relief Program

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conferees agree to rescind $100,000,000 in emergency 
     relief, instead of $50,000,000 as proposed by the Senate and 
     $351,000,000 as proposed by the House.

             national highway traffic safety administration

                     Highway Traffic Safety Grants

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement deletes the Senate provision to 
     rescind $20,000,000 in contract authority from the highway 
     traffic safety grants program. The House bill contained no 
     similar rescission.

                    federal railroad administration

                      Office of the Administrator

       The conferees agree to include language permitting the 
     Office of the Administrator to transfer recoveries received 
     from section 511 loan guarantees. Both the House and the 
     Senate bills included this provision.

                 Northeast Corridor Improvement Program

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $9,707,000 from the Northeast Corridor Improvement Program. 
     The House and Senate bills contained identical provisions to 
     rescind $7,768,000. The Department of Transportation 
     identified an additional $1,939,000 of unobligated balances 
     that are being held as a contingency for litigation in 
     connection with station work done in the 1980s and not 
     expected to be required in fiscal year 1995.

       National Magnetic Levitation Prototype Development Program

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement rescinds $250,000,000 in contract 
     authority for the national magnetic levitation (maglev) 
     prototype development program as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House bill contained no 
     [[Page H5044]] similar rescission. The maglev funds are not 
     available for obligation due to annual obligation 
     limitations.

                     federal transit administration

                     Transit Planning and Research

       The conferees agree to rescind $7,000,000 for transit 
     planning and research, instead of $8,800,000 as proposed by 
     the House. The Senate bill contained no similar rescission. 
     The conferees direct the Federal Transit Administration to 
     reduce expenditures for unnecessary and lower priority 
     programs, such as ``Coming and Going'', other transit 
     education programs and the transit ambassadors program, and 
     to limit expenditures for ``livable communities'' to no more 
     than $350,000 in fiscal year 1995.
       The conferees reiterate their support for the important, 
     ongoing planning and research activities included in the 
     fiscal year 1995 Department of Transportation and Related 
     Agencies Appropriations Act and direct the Federal Transit 
     Administration to make available immediately the following 
     amounts:
Advanced transportation systems and electric vehicle technolo$2,500,000
Inertial navigation technology for transit vehicles.............500,000
Research on large circuit breakers and switch gear..............750,000
Fuel cell transit bus program.................................2,500,000
Team transit....................................................500,000
Criteria and cost-benefit studies...............................200,000

       The conferees direct the Federal Transit Administration to 
     allocate $1,000,000 of the funds made available for the 
     Advanced Transportation Systems and Electric Vehicle 
     Technology Program to the Advanced Lead-Acid Battery 
     Consortium (ALABC). This is the second and final phase of 
     funding for the consortium and will enable the ALABC to place 
     prototype, advanced valve-regulated lead-acid batteries in 
     electric bus facilities for inservice testing and 
     demonstration.

                          Discretionary Grants

                      (Limitation on Obligations)

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement includes rescissions of 
     $33,911,500 in unobligated balances from the Federal Transit 
     Administration's discretionary grants, instead of $67,293,000 
     as proposed by the Senate and $131,651,000 as proposed by the 
     House.
       The conferees have agreed not to rescind any new start or 
     bus funds that were made available in fiscal year 1993. 
     Public Law 102-388 provided that such discretionary transit 
     funds shall be available for obligation through the end of 
     fiscal year 1995. The conferees also agreed not to rescind 
     unallocated bus and bus facilities funds made available in 
     fiscal year 1995.
       The conference agreement rescinds, without prejudice, the 
     following amounts made available before fiscal year 1993:

Grand total, section 3.....................................-$33,911,500

                       Mass Transit Capital Fund

                (Liquidation of Contract Authorization)

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement includes an appropriation of 
     $350,000,000 in liquidating cash for mass transit capital 
     programs. The Federal Transit Administration has identified a 
     $350,000,000 shortfall in this account due to an increased 
     pace of obligation and outlays this year and insufficient 
     reestimates of liquidating cash in prior years. This 
     appropriation does not score as new discretionary budget 
     authority under the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990.

                           General Provisions

       The conference agreement includes language (Section 801) 
     that rescinds $6,000,000 from the working capital fund and 
     limits the fiscal year 1995 obligational authority to no more 
     than $87,000,000. The Senate proposed to rescind $4,000,000 
     and limit obligational authority to no more than $89,000,000. 
     The House proposed to rescind $8,000,000 and limit 
     obligational authority to no more than $85,000,000.
       The conference agreement includes language (Section 802) 
     that rescinds $15,000,000 for fiscal year 1995 civilian and 
     military compensation and benefits and other administrative 
     expenses, instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the Senate 
     and $20,000,000 as proposed by the House. In making this 
     reduction, the conferees agree that the Department is to 
     reduce each modal administration (except for the Maritime 
     Administration) by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of 
     staffing and administrative resources. Further, the 
     Department is to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations the amounts reduced, by account, not later 
     than fifteen days after the enactment of this Act.
       The conference agreement includes a technical correction 
     (Section 803) to the fiscal year 1994 Department of 
     Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 
     (Public Law 103-122) regarding the availability of transit 
     funds.
                               CHAPTER IX

                          Independent Agencies

           advisory commission on intergovernmental relations

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees deny $500,000 in supplemental funding for the 
     Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR) as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees agree that the 
     Committees may entertain an increase in funding for ACIR 
     should a FY 1996 budget amendment be submitted.

                    general services administration

                         Federal Buildings Fund

                  Christopher Columbus Research Center

       The conferees included this provision which was in both the 
     House and Senate passed bills. The available funds will be 
     paid to the Christopher Columbus Research Center in 
     Baltimore, Maryland, for space, equipment, and facilities 
     related to seafood research.

                     office of personnel management

  Government Payment for Annuitants, Employee Life Insurance Benefits

       The conferees included this provision, which was requested 
     by the President and which was in both the House and Senate 
     passed bills. This will allow an additional $9,000,000 for 
     the Government's contribution to basic life insurance premium 
     payments for Federal retirees under 65 years of age. This is 
     a technical adjustment in a mandatory program due to an 
     inaccurate estimate on the part of the Administration.

                       Department of the Treasury

                          departmental offices

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees have agreed to eliminate FTE floors on 
     certain Treasury activities, as proposed by the House and 
     requested by the President.
       The conferees agree with the Senate position that the 
     $100,000 rescission to the Departmental Offices appropriation 
     may be applied at the discretion of the Secretary.

                Federal Law Enforcement Training Center

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree to provide $11,000,000 to the Federal 
     Law Enforcement Training Center to partially offset the cost 
     of FY 1996 operations. This is consistent with the 
     President's Budget, which proposes to transfer unobligated 
     balances with FLETC construction to this account to offset FY 
     1996 appropriations. With this change, the conferees agree to 
     regard the FY 1996 appropriation request to be $36,428,000, 
     for a total program level of $47,228,000.
       The conferees have agreed to allow FLETC to provide short-
     term medical services to students, as proposed by the House 
     and requested by the President.

      Acquisition, Construction, Improvements and Related Expenses

       The conferees have agreed to terminate the construction of 
     a permanent facility at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and to 
     rescind $11,000,000 to offset FLETC Salaries and Expenses in 
     FY 1996.

                      financial management service

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree with the Senate position that the 
     $160,000 rescission to the Financial Management Service 
     appropriation may be applied at the discretion of the 
     Commissioner.

                       bureau of the public debt

                     Administering the Public Debt

       The conferees agree to rescind $1,500,000. This rescission 
     was included in both the House and Senate passed bills.

                           united states mint

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees included a provision which was requested by 
     the President and included in both the House and Senate 
     passed bills. This change will allow the Mint to use funds 
     provided for facility improvements to be used for coin 
     production if demand requires increased production.

                        internal revenue service

                          Information Systems

       The conferees agree to rescind $1,490,000. This rescission 
     was included in both the House and Senate passed bills.
       The conferees have agreed with the Senate position to deny 
     lowering the amount dedicated to Tax Systems Modernization 
     from $650,000,000 to $640,000,000, as proposed by the House.

                        Administrative Provision

       The conferees included a provision which was included in 
     both the House and Senate 
     [[Page H5045]] passed bills. This provision allows the IRS to 
     use up to $119,000,000 in fees collected annually for 
     operations.

    Executive Office of the President and Funds Appropriated to the 
                               President

                         the white house office

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree with the Senate position that the 
     $171,000 rescission to the White House Office appropriation 
     may be applied at the discretion of the President.

                     federal drug control programs

                        Special Forfeiture Fund

       The conferees agree with the Senate's technical adjustment 
     making $13,200,000 available for Customs interdiction 
     activities through a General Fund appropriation. The 
     conferees direct that all of these resources be used to fund 
     ``Operation Hardline'', the Customs initiative directed at 
     making ports of entry along the Southern border safer and 
     narcotics smuggling more difficult.

                          Independent Agencies

                    general services administration

                         Federal Buildings Fund

       The conferees agree to rescind a total of $580,412,000 from 
     the Federal Buildings Fund instead of $136,593,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $1,894,840,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate, as follows:

               Food and Drug Administration Consolidation

       The conferees agree to rescind $228,000,000 in funds 
     previously appropriated for the consolidation of the Food and 
     Drug Administration (FDA), instead of no rescission as 
     proposed by the House and $284,650,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. This rescission affects only the Montgomery County, 
     Maryland phase of the FDA consolidation.
       The conferees agree that this rescission should not 
     prejudice future efforts at consolidation and restructuring 
     in Montgomery County, Maryland. The conferees note that there 
     is considerable congressional concern and interest in both 
     the restructuring and the consolidation of FDA. The conferees 
     support the concept of FDA consolidation in Montgomery 
     County, Maryland, in accordance with Public Law 101-635, the 
     FDA Revitalization Act of 1990, and Conference Report 102-919 
     to accompany the FY 1993 Treasury, Postal service, and 
     General Government Appropriations Act, but believe that any 
     future FDA restructuring may present opportunities for 
     downsizing the next phase of FDA consolidation. The conferees 
     urge FDA to work with the General Services Administration to 
     create a more cost effective site and construction plan for 
     this phase of consolidation in order that future 
     consolidation may continue.

                     Tampa, Florida U.S. Courthouse

       The conferees agree to rescind $5,994,000 from funds 
     previously appropriated for the U.S. Courthouse in Tampa, 
     Florida. This is the amount identified by the GSA during its 
     Time Out and Review process.
       While the conferees agree that this reduction should not 
     affect the completion of the planned project, should 
     additional funds be required, GSA should submit a 
     reprogramming to the Committees on Appropriations of the 
     House and Senate.

                           Operating Expenses

       The conferees agree to no rescission from the Operating 
     Expenses account as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $2,065,000 as proposed by the House.
       The conferees are very pleased with the General Services 
     Administration's (GSA's) rapid response to the tragic bombing 
     of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, 
     Oklahoma, and commend GSA employees for their efforts in this 
     area. Additionally, the conferees note with pleasure that, in 
     response to a request from the Committees on Appropriations, 
     the GSA provided the conferees with timely and extensive 
     information on the construction and repair and alternation 
     projects considered for rescission in both the House and 
     Senate-passed rescission packages.

                          Telecommuting Center

       The funds previously specified in Public Law 103-329 for 
     the flexiplace work telecommuting center project in Southern 
     Maryland are to be transferred to the Charles County 
     Community College to complete the establishment of the two 
     additional telecommuting centers in Southern Maryland. This 
     is in recognition of the results of the interim report to the 
     Congress on Federal Interagency telecommuting Centers which 
     show that the Southern Maryland project, developed and 
     operated by the Charles County Community College, resulted in 
     the highest utilization rate and lowest cost per user of any 
     telecommuting demonstration project, and the demonstrated 
     efficiencies of the private sector to accomplish and expand 
     developmental projects in the most timely and cost effective 
     manner.

                      Federal Election Commission

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree to rescind $1,396,000 from FEC's 
     salaries and expenses, instead of $2,792,000 as proposed by 
     the House. The conferees also agree to the FEC's request to 
     carry over $20,000 of FY 1994 unobligated balances for use in 
     FY 1995. The conferees note that, since 1992, FEC has 
     received an increase of 37 percent in its annual 
     appropriations and that the total FY 1995 revised 
     appropriations for FEC in the amount of $25,730,000 
     represents an increase of 9 percent over the FY 1994 
     appropriated level. Within this amount, the conferees expect 
     FEC to fulfill its commitment, as expressed before the House 
     Appropriations Committee on March 1, 1995, to spend not less 
     than $972,000 on computer modernization and electronic filing 
     initiatives in FY 1995. The conferees further direct the FEC 
     to complete strategic plans, including both a requirements 
     and cost-benefit analysis, on (1) internal ADP modernization 
     efforts and (2) electronic filing and provide these plans to 
     the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later 
     than August 1, 1995.

                     Merit Systems Protection Board

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree with the report language detailed in 
     the Senate Report accompanying H.R. 1158 and reiterate the 
     intent of that language in this statement of the managers.
       Congressional oversight and the work of the General 
     Accounting Office have raised the conferees' concern over the 
     direction, in recent years, of the U.S. Merit Systems 
     Protection Board. In particular the conferees believe the 
     statutory accountability and responsibility of the MSPB 
     Chairman must be 
     [[Page H5046]] more adequately described to ensure the proper 
     operation of the agency. Concern for the accountability of 
     the MSPB Chairman to Congress necessitates the use of this 
     vehicle to reiterate the intent of the statute.
       The second sentence of the language at 5 USC 1203(a) and 
     the first sentence of section 1204(j) shall be construed as 
     the official named therein to include authorities of the 
     predecessor official described at 5 USC 1104(a)(3) up to the 
     word ``except'' in said paragraph and section 1104(a), 
     paragraph (4) in its entirety prior to amendment by P.L. 94-
     454, Title II, sec. 201(a), October 13, 1978, 92 Stat. 1120. 
     It is the intent of the conferees that this interpretation 
     shall be used to expand only, and not derogate from, the 
     authorities and responsibilities of the official named at 5 
     USC 1203(a) set forth in existing law.

                     Office of Personnel Management

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree to rescind $3,140,000. This rescission 
     was included in both the House and Senate passed bills. This 
     rescission is from amounts appropriated in FY 1995 for OPM 
     training and from its Office of International Affairs.

                           General Provisions

       Section 901. The conferees agree to changes affecting 
     availability pay for criminal investigators in certain 
     Offices of Inspectors General as proposed by the Senate. This 
     was originally identified in the Senate bill as Section 2002.
       Section 902. The conferees agree to extend Law Enforcement 
     Availability Pay to Customs pilots. This was originally 
     identified in the Senate bill as section 2005.
       Section 903. The conferees have included a new general 
     provision allowing agencies to exceed estimates of travel 
     expenses in the event of emergency requirements.
       The conferees agree to delete Section 2003 and Section 2004 
     of the Senate bill.
                               CHAPTER X

Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and 
                          Independent Agencies

                          INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

                  Federal Emergency Management Agency

                            Disaster Relief

       The conferees propose a supplemental appropriation for 
     fiscal year 1995 of $3,350,000,000, a decrease of 
     $2,010,000,000 below the House level and an increase of 
     $1,450,000,000 above the Senate level. In his February 6, 
     1995 messages, the President requested $6,700,000,000 for 
     disaster relief activities. When these additional 1995 funds 
     are added to those funds provided in the Disaster Relief 
     Contingency Fund, which becomes available for obligation on 
     October 1, 1995, the conferees have met the President's 
     request.
       The conferees agree that the additional funds made 
     available in fiscal year 1995 are more than sufficient to 
     meet ongoing and anticipated disaster relief requirements 
     well into fiscal year 1996, including the most recent 
     disaster operations resulting from extraordinary rains and 
     hail during May 1995 in Louisiana, as well as numerous other 
     declared disasters in some 40 states.
       While the conferees remain committed to adequately fund 
     necessary disaster assistance, the mounting cost and number 
     of declared disasters remains a difficult question which must 
     be addressed. The conferees are further concerned that FEMA 
     disaster assistance policies need to be applied fairly and 
     consistently to all regions hit by disasters. Specific 
     questions have been raised regarding FEMA policies for those 
     disasters occurring as a result of or directly attributable 
     to a previously identified preexisting condition. The 
     conferees thus direct FEMA to report to Congress within 90 
     days of passage of this Act on, 1) its current policies in 
     this regard; 2) how these policies were applied in making 
     eligibility determinations in Lead, South Dakota and Ventura, 
     California; and 3) its recommendations for appropriate policy 
     changes in this area.

               Disaster Relief Emergency Contingency Fund

       The conferees propose a supplemental appropriation of 
     $3,350,000,000 for a disaster relief emergency contingency 
     fund, an increase of $3,350,000,000 above the level proposed 
     by the House and a decrease of $1,450,000,000 below the level 
     proposed by the Senate. This contingency fund will be 
     available beginning October 1, 1995, and is provided once the 
     President has made a specific request for a specific amount, 
     and designates such amount as an emergency requirement 
     pursuant to law. The conferees believe such a contingency 
     fund will make it possible to continue mandated disaster 
     relief requirements, such as ongoing obligations associated 
     with the 1994 Northridge earthquake, while at the same time 
     ensuring adequate Congressional oversight of these funds.

                     National Flood Insurance Fund

       The conferees have proposed a transfer of $331,000 for 
     administrative costs from the flood insurance fund to the 
     ``Salaries and Expenses'' appropriation, and a transfer of 
     $5,000,000 from the flood insurance fund to the ``Emergency 
     Management Planning and Assistance'' appropriation. The House 
     had included no such transfers in its bill while the Senate 
     had proposed both items as requested in the President's 
     February 6, 1995 messages. The conferees agree that these 
     funds are needed to enable the Agency to initiate flood 
     mitigation activities authorized by the National Flood 
     Insurance Reform Act of 1994.

                              CORPORATIONS

                 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

                          bank enterprise act

       Provides $36,000,000 for eligible activities authorized 
     under the Bank Enterprise Act (BEA) of 1991. The Senate's 
     proposed rescission of $88,000,000 from the Community 
     Development Financial Institutions Fund Account would have 
     left approximately $36,000,000 to implement this new agency. 
     Instead of creating a new agency such as CDFI, the conferees 
     agree to accomplish the same goal of promoting community-
     based financial institutions through the incentive program 
     authorized under the BEA. Under the original fiscal year 1995 
     appropriation of $125,000,000, approximately one-third would 
     have been available for this same incentive program. The 
     Chairman of the FDIC is granted authority to operate this 
     activity as authorized by the BEA.

                     Department of Veterans Affairs

                     veterans health administration

                              Medical Care

       Inserts language rescinding $50,000,000 of fiscal year 1995 
     medical care funds and exempting such funds from any 
     restrictions on personnel compensation and benefits 
     expenditures, instead of language rescinding $50,000,000 from 
     medical care, reducing the funds earmarked for the equipment 
     and land and structures object classifications by 
     $20,000,000, and decreasing the funds restricted for 
     personnel compensation and benefits by $30,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The rescission is consistent with the 
     Department's latest estimate of savings in fiscal year 1995 
     salary costs. The VA's fiscal year 1996 budget justifications 
     estimated that $30,000,000 of the fiscal year 1995 
     appropriation restricted to salary costs would not be 
     utilized for such purposes. The VA now estimates that 
     $50,000,000 will be saved. The conferees have agreed to 
     language that exempts all fiscal year 1995 medical care funds 
     from personnel compensation and benefits restrictions in the 
     event that salary savings are more than $50,000,000.

                      departmental administration

                      Construction, Major Projects

       Rescinds $31,000,000 of major construction funds, instead 
     of $50,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees agree 
     that the rescission is to be taken from excess funds in the 
     working reserve, and have reduced the amount proposed by the 
     Senate based on the VA's latest estimate of available 
     savings.

      Department of Housing and Urban Development Housing Programs

           National Homeownership Trust Demonstration Program

       Rescinds $50,000,000 as proposed by the House and Senate.

               Annual Contributions for Assisted Housing

       Rescinds $5,031,400,000 from annual contributions for 
     assisted housing, instead of $5,733,400,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $3,721,289,000 as proposed by the Senate, 
     including:
       $700,600,000 from the development or acquisition cost of 
     public housing from fiscal year 1995 and prior year 
     unobligated balances, including $80,000,000 from public 
     housing for Indian families;
       $1,956,000,000 from rental assistance under the Section 8 
     existing housing certificate program and the housing voucher 
     program, of which, $100,000,000 shall be from new programs 
     and $350,000,000 from pension fund rental assistance as 
     provided in Public Law 103-327. The remaining funding level 
     will allow $300,000,000 for the Secretary's Economic 
     Development Initiative, and in addition, public housing 
     relocation and replacement needs, litigation settlements or 
     court orders, amendments to continue assistance for 
     participating families, and the implementation of ``mixed 
     population'' plans for developments housing primarily elderly 
     residents;
       $815,000,000 from the modernization of existing public 
     housing projects pursuant to section 14 of the United States 
     Housing Act of 1937, including $100,000,000 to eliminate 
     funding for the Choice in Management initiative, as proposed 
     by the Administration. If there are situations where housing 
     authorities already have placed funds under contract which 
     are now to be rescinded, the Department may use its authority 
     under the current modernization statute (section 14(k)(1)) to 
     provide funding for emergencies which must be repaid from 
     future modernization allocations;
       $22,000,000 from unobligated balances of special purpose 
     grants;
       $148,300,000 from funds earmarked for Loan Management Set-
     asides (LMSA);
       $15,000,000 from Family Unification as proposed by the 
     Administration;
       $30,000,000 from housing opportunities for persons with 
     AIDS (HOPWA) program, allowing program funding to match the 
     President's FY 1995 request of $156,000,000;
       $34,200,000 from amounts reserved for lease adjustments as 
     proposed by the Administration;
       $39,000,000 from recaptures as proposed by the 
     Administration;
       $70,000,000 from Section 8 counseling;
       $50,000,000 from amounts set-aside for service 
     coordinators, including Sections 674/675/676 and FSS funding;
       $66,000,000 earmarked for Family Investment Centers;
       $85,300,000 from the lead-based paint abatement program. 
     The Administration proposed rescinding $80,000,000 from such 
     funds; and
     [[Page H5047]]   $1,000,000,000 from unspecified balances for 
     incremental units, including unreserved and unobligated 
     program amounts totaling $3,477,600,000, remaining Section 8 
     rental assistance totaling over $400,000,000, and 
     miscellaneous recaptures of previously obligated funds, such 
     as $1,506,600,000 available from public housing development 
     funds. The Secretary is required to provide to the 
     appropriate appropriations subcommittees of the House and 
     Senate a detailed operating plan within 30 days of enactment 
     to implement this reduction.
       The conferees strongly support immediate changes in the 
     Department's program policies to focus the use of available 
     resources on activities which will yield a more efficient and 
     competitive inventory of Federally subsidized low-income 
     housing. Such measures include aggressive efforts to demolish 
     failed housing developments and to provide local housing 
     authorities greater flexibility to facilitate improvements in 
     public housing. The conference agreement also focuses 
     rescissions on funding activities such as new incremental 
     units which, if obligated, would exacerbate budgetary 
     shortfalls over the next several years.
       The conference agreement provides a deferral of 
     $405,900,000 of preservation funds until September 30, 1995 
     to allow authorizing committees ample time to reformulate 
     this program. The House proposed rescinding $465,100,000 from 
     the program activity while the President's budget request had 
     proposed rescinding $150,000,000.
       The conference agreement deletes a provision in the Senate-
     passed language which would have mandated continued 
     processing of certain applications which met specific 
     statutory deadlines. The conferees agree that the Department 
     should have greater discretion in continuing such processing. 
     It is the expectation of the conferees, however, that 
     processing should not be suspended in cases where such an 
     action would jeopardize on-going efforts to preserve these 
     affordable housing units, particularly in cases where 
     purchases by non-profits or by resident organizations are 
     being developed.

  Assistance for the Renewal of Expiring Section and Subsidy Contracts

       Rescinds $1,177,000,000 of rental assistance for the 
     renewal of expiring Section 8 subsidy contracts. The Senate 
     had proposed the rescission of $1,050,000,000 from the Annual 
     Contributions for Assisted Housing account and directed the 
     Secretary to use excess Section 8 reserves of public housing 
     authorities to make up this shortfall. The House proposed no 
     rescission. In order to renew all expiring Section 8 subsidy 
     contracts in fiscal year 1995, the conferees agree to shorten 
     approximately one-half of fiscal year 1995 renewal contracts 
     to two-year terms instead of three. In addition, the 
     Secretary is directed to use an estimated $427,000,000 of 
     Section 8 excess project reserves to fund remaining Section 8 
     contract renewal needs.

         Payments for Operation of Low-Income Housing Projects

       Rescinds no funding from this account as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House had proposed a rescission of $404,000,000 
     from the program activity to bring it down to the President's 
     request for fiscal year 1995. The conferees acknowledge the 
     difficulty of implementing a reduction in this account mid-
     year, but also note that future reductions for this program 
     activity are likely. Housing authorities, through more 
     efficient management and implementation of uncoming 
     reauthorization deregulation, must work diligently to prepare 
     for possible lower funding levels in fiscal year 1996.

                   Severely Distressed Public Housing

       Rescinds no funding from this account as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House had proposed rescinding $523,000,000 from 
     this account. While these funds are permitted to go forward, 
     the conferees note that it is possible that this activity may 
     not be funded in fiscal year 1996. Also, approximately three-
     fourths of the House rescission amount had been obligated by 
     the time of conference and was unavailable for rescission.

             Drug Elimination Grants for Low-Incoming House

       Rescinds no funding from this account as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House had proposed rescinding $32,000,000 from 
     the program activity to return it to the fiscal year 1994 
     funding level of $265,000,000.

                           Youthbuild Program

       Rescinds $10,000,000 from the Youthbuild program. The House 
     had proposed rescinding $38,000,000 to return program 
     activity to last year's funding level of $40,000,000 while 
     the Senate had proposed no rescission.

                     Housing Counseling Assistance

       Rescinds $38,000,000 as proposed by the House and Senate, 
     returning this program activity to its fiscal year 1994 
     funding level of $12,000,000.

                         Flexible Subsidy Fund

       Rescinds $8,000,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate 
     had proposed no rescission for this program activity.
                  nehemiah housing opportunities fund

       Rescinds $10,500,000 of remaining unobligated balances from 
     the Nehemiah Housing Opportunities Fund. The House had 
     proposed rescinding $19,000,000 and the Senate $17,700,000 
     from this account.

                          Homeless Assistance

                       homeless assistance grants

       Defers the availability of $297,000,000 of homeless 
     assistance grants until September 30, 1995 as proposed by the 
     House. The Senate did not propose a similar provision. The 
     remaining appropriation of $823,000,000 available for all of 
     fiscal year 1995 would match the fiscal year 1994 program 
     funding level.

                   Community Planning and Development

                      community development grants

       Rescinds no funds from this account as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House had proposed la rescission of $349,200,000 
     from this program activity.

                       administrative provisions

       The conference agreement includes modifications proposed by 
     the Senate to the public housing modernization program to 
     permit greater flexibility in the use of these funds. For 
     example in places like Dallas, Houston, and Louisville, 
     Federal modernization funds can help pay the cost of 
     demolition of public housing that is beyond repair. This is 
     the case in Houston, where the costs of demolishing Allen 
     Parkway Village can be shifted from the city to the local 
     PHA. The conferees agree to several technical changes that 
     clarify that modernization funds are to be used only for 
     public housing or the public housing portion of jointly-
     administered housing.
       Both the House- and the Senate-passed bills including 
     provisions to eliminate one-for-one replacement requirements 
     for public housing demolition or disposition applications 
     approved prior to September 30, 1995. The conferees agree to 
     the Senate language amended to exclude housing required to be 
     replaced because of a court order or litigation settlement. 
     The House language included this provision. The Department is 
     urged to approve as quickly as possible qualified 
     applications for demolition or disposition.
       The conferees agree to the Senate proposal allow public 
     housing authorities to reuse certain recaptured Section 8 
     rental assistance. The House bill contained no comparable 
     provision.

                          INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

             Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board

                         salaries and expenses

       Rescinds $500,000, as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate. This rescission terminates the Board before members 
     have sworn the oath of office and prior to expenditure of any 
     funds, and is consistent with the rescission and termination 
     proposal made by the President in the February 6, 1995 
     messages.

              Community Development Financial Institutions

           community development financial institutions fund

                            program account

       Rescinds $124,000,000 from this account as proposed by the 
     House. The Senate has proposed a rescission of $88,000,000. 
     In order to limit the growth of government and achieve the 
     same goals, the conferees agree to provide $36,000,000 to the 
     Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to implement Bank 
     Enterprise Act (BEA) incentives to promote community-based 
     financial institutions.

             Corporation for National and Community Service

       national and community service programs operating expenses

       Rescinds $210,000,000 of National and Community Service 
     Programs Operating Expenses funds, instead of $416,110,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $105,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. This action will permit the Corporation to maintain 
     the fiscal year 1994 funding level of $365,000,000 in the 
     current fiscal year. The conferees have agreed to add 
     language to prohibit the remaining fiscal year 1995 
     appropriation from being used for national awards to Federal 
     agencies. This action is taken to increase program 
     participation by traditional private voluntary organizations 
     such as the Girl Scouts, the American Red Cross, and the 
     Future Farmers of America.

                    Environmental Protection Agency

                        research and development

       The conferees propose to rescind $14,635,000 of fiscal year 
     1995 appropriations, the same as proposed by the House and 
     $5,000,000 more than that proposed by the Senate. In addition 
     to the $3,635,000 proposed in the President's February 6, 
     1995 messages for academic training ($1,000,000), 
     neurotoxicity research ($700,000), health effects research 
     ($600,000), and procurement savings ($1,335,000), the 
     conferees have proposed to rescind $6,000,000 of funds 
     appropriated in fiscal year 1995 for the Environmental 
     Monitoring and Assessment Program and $5,000,000 of 
     unspecified reductions. The conferees expect the Agency to 
     submit specific proposals, in a format consistent with normal 
     reprogramming procedures, of where these unspecified 
     reductions will occur within the research and development 
     account.

                   abatement, control, and compliance

       The conferees propose to rescind $9,806,805 of fiscal year 
     1995 appropriations, an increase of $5,000,000 over the level 
     proposed by the House and the same as proposed by the Senate. 
     In addition to the rescissions of $3,141,805 for termination 
     of the Clean Lakes program and $1,665,000 for procurement 
     savings as proposed in the President's February 6, 1995 
     messages, the conferees have proposed to rescind $5,000,000 
     from the Agency's ``green'' programs. The conferees agree 
     that budget constraints require reduced spending 
     [[Page H5048]] in this area, and further agree that the 
     agency should strongly consider the phase-out of those 
     ``green'' programs, such as the ``energy star buildings'' 
     program, which are essentially identical to programs already 
     offered by private enterprise or by other Federal or State 
     agencies.
       Bill language has been included which stipulates that the 
     Agency will not be required to site a supercomputer in the 
     Bay City, Michigan vicinity as is required by current law.

                        buildings and facilities

       The conferees propose to rescind $83,000,000 of prior year 
     appropriations, an increase of $58,000,000 over the level 
     proposed by the House, and the same as proposed by the 
     Senate. These funds are derived from appropriations made in 
     fiscal years 1992 and 1993 for the EPA Center for Ecology 
     Research and Training, a new laboratory which would add to 
     the Agency's existing 39 such facilities. This proposed 
     rescission will terminate further activities associated with 
     the lab's development before significant sums are expended. 
     The conferees note that sufficient funds remain in the 
     buildings and facilities account to cover expected necessary 
     ``close-out'' costs associated with the lab site, and direct 
     the Agency to provide the House and Senate Appropriations 
     Committees a specific plan and schedule for such close-out 
     within 60 days of passage of this Act.

                     hazardous substance superfund

       The conferees propose to rescind $100,000,000 of fiscal 
     year 1995 appropriations, an increase of $100,000,000 above 
     the level proposed by the House and the same as proposed by 
     the Senate. The conferees agree that while this proposed 
     rescission is not expected to severely disrupt the program, 
     it nevertheless will slow current program activities somewhat 
     while the Congress works on reauthorizing and perhaps 
     restructuring this expired program.

               water infrastructure/state revolving funds

       The conferees propose to rescind $1,302,200,000 of fiscal 
     year 1995 and prior year appropriations, a decrease of 
     $1,000,000 from the level proposed by the House and an 
     increase of $60,105,000 above the level proposed by the 
     Senate. Of the proposed $1,302,200,000 rescission, 
     $1,299,000,000 had been appropriated in fiscal years 1994 and 
     1995 for distribution upon enactment of a safe drinking water 
     state revolving fund. While this rescission should not be 
     interpreted as opposition to the creation of such an SRF, the 
     conferees acknowledge that fiscal realities make it difficult 
     to provide large sums for programs which await authorization.
       The remaining $3,200,000 rescission is derived from funds 
     appropriated in fiscal year 1995 for specific wastewater 
     infrastructure improvements, and has been recommended for 
     rescission in the President's February 6, 1995 messages.

                       administrative provisions

       The conferees adopted language included in the Senate bill 
     which prevents the Agency from requiring that States adopt a 
     centralized inspection and maintenance facility as part of 
     their state implementation plan under the Clean Air Act, 
     although the states retain the flexibility to adopt such a 
     program should they desire.
       The conferees adopted identical language included in both 
     the House and Senate bills which provides that no funds can 
     be expended by the Environmental Protection Agency to impose 
     or enforce any requirement that a State implement a trip 
     reduction plan as part of their state implementation plan. 
     Additional new language which stipulates that Section 304 of 
     the Clean Air Act (regarding citizen suits) does not apply in 
     cases where States choose not to implement such a trip 
     reduction plan was also adopted by the conferees.
       The conferees adopted language contained in the Senate bill 
     which prevents EPA from adding new sites to the National 
     Priorities List during the balance of fiscal year 1995, 
     unless such new site is specifically requested for listing by 
     the Governor of the affected State, or unless Superfund 
     legislation is reauthorized prior to the end of the fiscal 
     year.
       The conferees carefully considered a provision to impose a 
     moratorium on EPA Clean Air Act deadlines for state 
     attainment plans and permitting programs and considered 
     mandating full credit for decentralized inspection and 
     maintenance programs. This legislation was deferred pending a 
     review of EPA's actions in reviewing and approving 
     applications by states for up to 100 percent credit where 
     such states have submitted evidence of an effective test-and-
     repair program. The conferees strongly agree that EPA should 
     defer imposition of sanctions against any state which is 
     preparing, or has submitted an application to EPA for up to 
     100 percent compliance credit for their test-and-repair 
     inspection and maintenance program. The conferees agree that 
     a demonstration for up to 100 percent compliance credit may 
     be submitted by a state with their SIP revision, and that 
     such demonstration may require two years or two full cycles 
     to complete. EPA should exercise flexibility in reviewing and 
     approving each state's plan in this regard.
       EPA should seriously consider abandoning an inflexible 
     standard that test-and-repair facilities are 50 percent as 
     effective as test-only facilities and should grant test-and-
     repair programs the credit, up to 100 percent, based on 
     scientific evidence and/or data that supports the 
     determination of additional credits.
       The conferees note that EPA issued regulations in November 
     1992 stating that in order to get more than 50 percent credit 
     for a test-and-repair program, the state would have to 
     demonstrate actual operating data that its program was more 
     effective. States should be prepared to provide such data.
       In complying with the prohibition on use of funds for 
     disapproval of a state implementation plan, the conferees 
     agree that it would apply only in the case where only a 50 
     percent discount was applied by the agency, and not at any 
     other percentage discount which the Agency may apply or if 
     the state implementation plan was not in compliance with law 
     on a basis other than inspection and maintenance.
       The conferees further agree that should EPA fail to 
     demonstrate flexibility and reasonableness in responding to 
     such state applications, further legislation will be enacted 
     by Congress.
       No language was included regarding the Agency's 
     responsibilities for the California Federal Implementation 
     Plan as the matter was resolved earlier in Public Law 104-6.
             National Aeronautics and Space Administration

                  science, aeronautics and technology

       The conferees agree to rescind a total of $52,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $68,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       The conference agreement is as follows:

Earth Observing System.....................................-$17,000,000
Hubble Telescope Mission.....................................-5,000,000
Regional Ecosystem Supercomputer.............................-3,000,000
Hypersonics.................................................-12,000,000
Life and Microgravity......................................-15,000,000.

       The conferees agree to impose no rescission in the area of 
     academics. The conferees agree that the recent expansion of 
     NASA funded educational programs, that expand opportunities 
     and enhance diversity in the NASA sponsored research and 
     education community--especially for the minority institutions 
     and for socially and economically disadvantaged and disabled 
     students, historically underrepresented in the Agency's 
     research and education programs--are meritorious and should 
     be supported. The conferees, however, note that such rapid 
     and cumulative growth through incrementally funded, multi-
     year commitments will be very difficult to sustain during a 
     period when overall NASA funding and employment will be 
     reduced. NASA should undertake a review of all academic 
     programs which includes revisions of its multi-year program 
     plan in anticipation of such funding constraints with careful 
     attention to the balance between the proportion of NASA's 
     dollars received by minority institutions of higher education 
     and other institutions of higher education.

                       construction of facilities

       The conferees agree to a rescission of $34,000,000 in prior 
     years appropriations for construction of facilities instead 
     of $27,000,000 as proposed by the House and $76,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement includes 
     rescission of $27,000,000 which was appropriated in fiscal 
     year 1993 for construction of a facility for the Consortium 
     for International Earth Science Information Network. In 
     addition, the conference agreement includes rescission of 
     $7,000,000 which was appropriated in prior years for 
     construction of a Rocket Engine Test Facility at the Lewis 
     Research Center.

                            mission support

       The conferees agree to rescind $32,000,000 of fiscal year 
     1995 funding instead of $1,000,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $6,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference 
     agreement includes rescission of $1,000,000 for 
     administrative aircraft, $10,000,000 for salaries and 
     expenses (ROS), and $21,000,000 for salaries and expenses 
     savings.

             Space Flight, Control and Data Communications

       The conferees agree to rescind $20,000,000 from funds made 
     available for the replacement orbiter for the Challenger. The 
     President had proposed a rescission of $10,000,000 in his 
     message of May 2, 1995. After this rescission, $23,448,844 
     will remain for this purpose.

                       administrative provisions

                    Clear Lake Development Facility

       The conferees agree to include an administrative provision 
     which will enable the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration to exercise an option to purchase the Clear 
     Lake Development Facility, as modified for use as a Neutral 
     Buoyancy Laboratory. The facility is currently being leased 
     by NASA. It is the intention of the conferees that the cost 
     of the facility as modified by the current owner (or 
     contractor) and delivered completely modified to NASA, will 
     be no more than $35,000,000.

                   Yellow Creek Facility, Mississippi

       The federal government has a long history of involvement in 
     Yellow Creek, located near Iuka, Mississippi. The site, 
     originally purchased by the Tennessee Valley Authority for 
     use as a nuclear energy plant, was subsequently transferred 
     to NASA after the nuclear energy plant's cancellation. NASA 
     intended to use Yellow Creek to build the Advanced Solid 
     Rocket Motor (ASRM) and, after its cancellation, instead 
     committed to use the site to build nozzles for the Redesigned 
     Solid Rocket Motor (RSRM). On May 2, 1995, due to its current 
     budgetary constraints, NASA terminated the RSRM nozzle 
     [[Page H5049]] production effort at Yellow Creek. The bill 
     language included by the conferees on the transfer of the 
     NASA Yellow Creek facility reflects the most recent 
     commitment made by the NASA Administrator to the Governor of 
     the State of Mississippi. The major investment by the State 
     of Mississippi in facilities and infrastructure to support 
     Yellow Creek, in excess of $100,000,000, is a key factor in 
     NASA's agreement to turn the site over to the State of 
     Mississippi. The main elements of the agreement reached 
     between NASA and the State of Mississippi, which the 
     conferees expect to be adhered to by the two parties, are as 
     follows:
       The Yellow Creek facility will be turned over to the 
     appropriate agency of the State of Mississippi within 30 days 
     of enactment of this Act. All of the NASA property on Yellow 
     Creek which the State of Mississippi requires to facilitate 
     the transfer of the site transfers with the site to the 
     State, subject to the following exceptions anticipated by the 
     conferees:
       (1) Any property assigned to a NASA facility other than 
     Yellow Creek prior to May 2, 1995, but located at Yellow 
     Creek, will be returned to its assigned facility;
       (2) Only those contracts for the sale of NASA property at 
     Yellow Creek signed by both parties prior to May 2, 1995 
     shall be executed;
       (3) Those items deemed to be in the ``national security 
     interest' of the federal government shall be retained by 
     NASA. The national security clause shall be narrowly 
     construed and shall apply only in a limited manner, 
     consistent with established criteria relating to national 
     security interests. This clause shall not be used to 
     circumvent the intent of this Act, which is to transfer the 
     site and all of its property, except as otherwise noted, to 
     the State of Mississippi; and
       (4) Other items of interest to NASA may be retained by NASA 
     with the consent of the State of Mississippi.
       It is the expectation of the conferees that all other NASA 
     personal property will transfer to the State of Mississippi. 
     The conferees further expect facilities on the site not 
     subject to the above provisions, such as the environmental 
     lab, to be left as is.
       Any environmental remediation of Yellow Creek necessary as 
     a result of the activities of governmental agencies, such as 
     NASA, or quasi-governmental agencies, such as the Tennessee 
     Valley Authority, will be the responsibility of the federal 
     agency or quasi-federal agency, including any successors and 
     interests.
       Within thirty days of enactment of this Act, $10,000,000 
     will be transferred from NASA to the appropriate agency of 
     the State of Mississippi.
       The site's environmental permits will become the property 
     of the State of Mississippi. NASA will provide all necessary 
     assistance in transferring these permits to the State of 
     Mississippi.

                      National Science Foundation

                    academic research infrastructure

       Rescinds $131,867,000, as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate.

                              Corporations

                 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

                    FDIC Affordable Housing Program

       Rescinds $11,281,034 from the FDIC Affordable Housing 
     program as proposed by the House and Senate.

                      TITLE II--GENERAL PROVISIONS

                        emergency timber salvage

       The managers have included bill language (section 2001) 
     that directs the appropriate Secretary to prepare, advertise, 
     offer, and award salvage timber sale contracts utilizing 
     emergency processes and procedures provided in the bill.
       The managers, in order to establish their expectation of 
     performance have included salvage timber sale volume 
     requirements in this statement. The managers have not 
     included volume requirements directly in bill language but 
     expect the Secretary concerned to reduce backlogged salvage 
     volume and award additional salvage sale contracts to the 
     maximum extend feasible. However, the managers underscore 
     their intent that the salvage volume levels are not merely 
     aspirational; each Secretary is expected to meet the volume 
     levels specified herein.
       The managers, in cooperation with the authorizing 
     committees of jurisdiction, have agreed to monitor the USDA 
     and BLM progress toward meeting the salvage levels set out 
     herein. The committees of jurisdiction will carefully assess 
     the reports to determine whether or not the agencies have met 
     the salvage levels put forward in the statement of the 
     managers. Depending on performance, the need for volume 
     targets will be reevaluated in future appropriations bills, 
     beginning in FY 1996.

                             Forest Health

       The managers note that the emergency forest health 
     situation from fire, insect infestation and disease has 
     approached epidemic levels. As a result, the backlog of dead 
     and dying trees in National Forests and other public lands is 
     substantial.
       In part, the severe risk of permanent damage to forest land 
     necessitates removal of dead, dying, and salvage trees before 
     greater damage occurs--including second phase fires which 
     burn hotter and destroy land and streams. Once removal of 
     salvage tress occurs, reforestation is required by the 
     emergency salvage provision. Reforestation will facilitate 
     regrowth of healthy forests that are less prone to fire 
     damage, insect infestation, and disease.
       Much of this salvage volume must be removed within one year 
     or less for the timber of retain maximum economic value, and 
     to prevent future disasters from fire that can permanently 
     damage forest land, eradicate wildlife, and ruin aquatic 
     habitat. Therefore, the managers have included bill language 
     to provide all necessary tools to expedite environmental 
     processes, streamline, administrative procedures, expedite 
     judicial review, and give maximum flexibility to the 
     Secretary concerned in order to provide salvage timber for 
     jobs, to improve forest health, and prevent future forest 
     fires.
       The managers expect the agencies to implement available 
     flexibility to achieve maximum returns and that agency 
     personnel expeditiously process the environmental 
     documentation needed to finalize emergency timber sales.

                             Volume Levels

       The managers have carefully reviewed the materials 
     submitted by the Departments concerning the capability of the 
     Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to respond to 
     the emergency nature of the forest health situation. For the 
     Forest Service, the documents submitted indicate that the 
     total merchantable salvage volume (dead and dying trees) in 
     national forests exceeds 18.25 BBF. The Forest Service 
     identified 12.68 BBF of volume which is economically operable 
     during the next two years, while still complying with basic 
     forest land stewardship protection measures.
       Of particular interest in the Forest Service's assessment 
     that 6.75 BBF of volume could be available during the next 
     three years using the expedited procedures of this section, 
     without violating the substantive requirements of existing 
     environmental laws. This volume estimate was developed by 
     Forest Service line managers and biologists. The Forest 
     Service reports that there is a significant margin of error 
     (+/-25%) in these estimates, and it is reasonable to expect 
     that the volumes may increase somewhat as on-the-ground 
     implementation gets underway. Given the margin of error in 
     the estimates, it appears the Forest Service could meet the 
     salvage volumes in the House bill without sacrificing the 
     substantive objectives of all environmental laws. The Senate 
     bill contained no sale volumes.
       The managers extended the provisions of this section 
     through FY 1997, effectively making the program duration 2.5 
     years. Based on the capability statements by the Forest 
     Service and similar representatives by the Bureau of Land 
     Management, the managers expect that the procedures of this 
     section will expedite the implementation of existing 
     programmed salvage volumes and allow the Secretary of 
     Agriculture to prepare, advertise, offer, and award contracts 
     for an additional increment of salvage volume as follows: FY 
     1995--750 million board feet; FY 1996--1.5 billion board 
     feet; FY 1997--1.5 billion board feet. These programmed 
     levels for the Forest Service are contained in the attachment 
     to the April 25, 1995, letter to the Chairman of the House 
     Resources Committee. Similarly, the managers expect an 
     emergency timber salvage program from the Secretary of the 
     Interior as follows: FY 1995--115 million board feet; FY 
     1996--115 million board feet; FY 1997--115 million board 
     feet. These numbers are within the range of achievement in an 
     environmentally sound program. Each Secretary may exceed 
     these salvage levels if field conditions demonstrate 
     additional salvage opportunities.
       The managers have directed periodic reporting on the 
     agencies' progress in implementing the procedures of this 
     section in order to reassess their expectation concerning 
     achievement of specified salvage volumes and agency 
     performance. The managers expect that the committees of 
     jurisdiction will remain actively involved in the monitoring 
     of the emergency salvage program.

                                Process

       The managers intend that as the environmental processes are 
     completed for individual sales, the Secretary concerned may 
     choose among the completed combined documents to determine 
     how sales should go forward.
       The bill language provides a process for judicial review of 
     emergency salvage sales by the Federal District Courts. The 
     managers provided this mechanism for legitimate concerns with 
     agency actions. Automatic stays for 45 days are required 
     pending the final decision on review of the record by the 
     district court within that time period. Due to the exigency 
     of the emergency salvage situation administrative appeals are 
     waived.
       For emergency timber salvage sales, Option 9, and sales in 
     Section 318 areas, the bill contains language which deems 
     sufficient the documentation on which the sales are based, 
     and significantly expedites legal actions and virtually 
     eliminates dilatory legal challenges. Environmental 
     documentation, analysis, testimony, and studies concerning 
     each of these areas are exhaustive and the sufficiency 
     language is provided so that sales can proceed.
       The managers are aware of the high cost, time, and 
     personnel commitment needed to mark salvage trees 
     individually. The managers also recognize the requirement for 
     federal agencies to designate timber authorized for cutting. 
     Federal agencies are directed to determine the extent to 
     which the use of designation by description is practical and 
     are further directed to use the most effective method of 
     designation to prepare salvage timber sales.
       [[Page H5050]] The emergency salvage provision clearly 
     prohibits harvesting in National Wilderness Preservation 
     System lands, roadless areas designated by Congress for 
     wilderness study, and roadless areas recommended for 
     wilderness designation in the most recent land management 
     plan. Lands not specifically protected by the provision 
     include prohibitions such as agency initiatives, timber sale 
     screens, interim guidelines, settlement agreements, the CASPO 
     Report, riparian areas covered by other initiatives, and any 
     other area where the agencies restrict timber harvesting on 
     their own accord.
       The bill also allows all salvage sales proposals in 
     development on the date of enactment of this Act to be 
     immediately brought into conformity with this, the emergency 
     salvage provision.

                               Reporting

       The bill language directs the agencies to prepare a report 
     by August 30, 1995, detailing the steps the agency is taking, 
     and intends to take, to meet salvage timber sale volumes. The 
     report shall also include a statement of the intention of the 
     Secretary concerned with respect to the salvage volumes 
     specified herein.
       The managers will carefully review the Administration's 
     implementation of the salvage program, and, if found to be 
     inadequate, will employ such actions as deemed necessary. 
     Such actions might include, but are not limited to, 
     reallocation within budget categories or other 
     prioritizations to be determined by the Congress.

                                Option 9

       The managers have retained bill language added by the 
     Senate that provides the Forest Service and Bureau of Land 
     Management the authority to expedite timber sales allowed 
     under the President's forest plan for the Pacific Northwest, 
     commonly known as option 9. The managers are concerned that 
     the administration has not made the necessary efforts to 
     fulfill the commitment it made to the people of the region to 
     achieve an annual harvest level of 1.1 billion board feet and 
     have included bill language to assist the administration in 
     this effort.
       On December 21, 1994, the Federal District Court issued an 
     opinion upholding option 9 as valid under all present 
     environmental laws. The managers wish to make clear that the 
     bill language does not independently validate option 9 and 
     does not restrict pending or future challenges.
       The managers have added bill language to eliminate the need 
     for an additional environmental impact statement in order to 
     speed up the issuance of a final 4(d) rule, which will 
     provide expedited relief to thousands of nonfederal 
     landowners in the region. The managers understand that the 
     Secretary of the Interior is extending the comment period on 
     the proposed Section 4(d) rule, and expect the Secretary to 
     review carefully the extensive Special Emphasis Areas in 
     Washington to assure regulatory relief for nonfederal lands, 
     particularly in light of new owl population data on the 
     Olympic Peninsula. As provided in bill language, the managers 
     have agreed that no environmental impact statement will be 
     required for the Section 4(d) rule notwithstanding the 
     outcome of pending litigation over Option 9. Finally, nothing 
     in this provision is intended to prejudice the outcome of 
     pending litigation over Endangered Species Act Section 9 
     prohibitions.

                         Released Timber Sales

       The bill releases all timber sales which were offered for 
     sale beginning in fiscal year 1990 to the date of enactment 
     which are located in any unit of the National Forest System 
     or District of the Bureau of Land Management within the 
     geographic area encompassed by Section 318 of the Fiscal Year 
     1990 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. 
     Included are all sales offered, awarded, or unawarded, 
     whether or not bids have subsequently been rejected by the 
     offering agency, with no change in original terms, volumes, 
     or bid prices. The sales will go forward regardless of 
     whether the bid bond from the high bidder has been returned, 
     provided it is resubmitted before the harvesting begins. The 
     harvest of many of these sales was assumed under the 
     President's Pacific Northwest forest plan, but their release 
     has been held up in part by extended subsequent review by the 
     U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The only limitation on 
     release of these sales is in the case of any threatened or 
     endangered bird species with a known nesting site in a sale 
     unit. In this case, the Secretary must provide a substitute 
     volume under the terms of subsection (k)(3).
                           funds availability

       The conference agreement retains a Senate provision 
     (section 2002) restricting funds availability to the current 
     fiscal year unless otherwise stated. The House bill contained 
     no similar provision.

         downward adjustments in discretionary spending limits

       The conferees agree to include a provision (section 2003) 
     included in both the House and Senate bills that would reduce 
     the discretionary spending limits by the savings resulting 
     from this act for the fiscal years 1995 through 1998. The 
     House bill also included an additional provision that would 
     have made additional projected reductions by assuming that 
     similar savings would be enacted in each of the next three 
     fiscal years. The conferees recommend that spending limit 
     adjustments for actions projected for the future should be 
     made in appropriate legislative vehicles such as 
     reconciliation bills. Also, the House bill included 
     provisions that would appropriate the savings from the bill 
     to a deficit reduction fund. By including the provision 
     dealing with spending limit adjustments and the prohibition 
     on the use of savings to offset tax cuts mentioned below, the 
     intent of these House provisions is accommodated.

            prohibition on use of savings to offset deficit

    increases resulting from direct spending or receipts legislation

       The conference agreement includes a provision (section 
     2004) included in both the House and Senate versions of the 
     bill that would preclude the savings in this bill from being 
     used for any tax reductions or other similar direct spending 
     or receipts legislation.

               national korean war veterans armistice day

       The conference agreement inserts language (section 2005), 
     not contained in the House or Senate bill, which designates 
     July 27 of each year, until the year 2003, as ``National 
     Korean War Veterans Armistice Day''.

                    assistance to illegal immigrants

       The conference agreement includes an amended House 
     provision (section 2006) that prohibits any individual who is 
     not lawfully in the United States from receiving any direct 
     benefit or assistance from funds in the bill except for 
     emergency assistance. The conference agreement expands the 
     provision to include direction that agencies should take 
     reasonable steps in determining the lawful status of 
     individuals seeking assistance. Also, a nondiscrimination 
     clause has been added. The Senate bill did not include any 
     provision on this subject.
       This provision is essentially the same provision that was 
     included in the initial emergency supplemental appropriations 
     act that provided relief from the earthquake that hit the Los 
     Angeles area in 1994 (Public Law 103-211). The conferees 
     understand that this provision was implemented for that bill 
     in a manner that did not delay non-emergency assistance to 
     appropriate recipients. The conferees agree that this should 
     be the situation for this bill.

              sense of the senate regarding tax avoidance

       The conference agreement deletes a Senate provision that 
     expressed the sense of the Senate that Congress should act as 
     quickly as possible to preclude persons from avoiding taxes 
     by relinquishing their citizenship. The House bill contained 
     no similar provision.

               federal administrative and travel expenses

       The conference agreement deletes two Senate provisions that 
     would have rescinded $342,500,000 for administrative and 
     travel activities. The conferees agree that it is more 
     appropriate to make rescissions in the regular accounts 
     rather than making across the board rescissions.

                   impact of legislation on children

       The conference agreement deletes a sense of the Congress 
     provision included in the Senate version of the bill that 
     Congress should not adopt any legislation that would increase 
     the number of children who are hungry or homeless. The House 
     bill contained no similar provision.
                               TITLE III

                 EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS

                       ANTI-TERRORISM INITIATIVES

                         OKLAHOMA CITY RECOVERY

                               Chapter I

Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and related 
                                agencies

       After House and Senate consideration of this bill, the 
     Administration requested emergency supplemental 
     appropriations of $71,455,000 for the Department of Justice 
     and $10,400,000 for the Judiciary to address urgent needs 
     arising from the Oklahoma City bombing and for enhanced anti-
     terrorism efforts. The conference agreement provides an 
     emergency supplemental appropriation of $113,360,000 for the 
     Department of Justice and $16,640,000 for the Judiciary for 
     these purposes, an increase of $48,145,000. These funds are 
     designated by the Congress as emergency requirements pursuant 
     to section 251(b)(2)(D)(i) of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended and amounts 
     above the supplemental request are available as emergency 
     spending only to the extent that the President also 
     designates these funds as emergency requirements.
       The conference agreement provides funding through fiscal 
     year 1996 for the full anticipated costs of expenses related 
     to the investigation and prosecution of persons responsible 
     for the bombing as well as the full cost of funding new 
     personnel for enhanced counterterrorism efforts. The 
     conference agreement also provides for a more flexible 
     mechanism for the Attorney General to reimburse Department of 
     Justice law enforcement agencies and State and local expenses 
     related to the Oklahoma City bombing by appropriating funds 
     requested for these expenses to a new Counterterrorism Fund.
       While awaiting the Administration's 1996 budget amendment, 
     the conferees have attempted to anticipate and fully fund the 
     requirements for enhanced counterterrorism activities in both 
     1995 and 1996. To the extent that the supplemental does not 
     fully anticipate the total needs, the conferees expect 
     [[Page H5051]] that the Administration will forward the 
     additional requirements expeditiously.

                         Department of Justice

                         General Administration

                         Counterterrorism Fund

       The conferees have established a new Fund within this 
     appropriation account, under the control and direction of the 
     Attorney General, to: (1) cover the extraordinary and 
     contingency type costs that have been incurred and are 
     expected to occur as a result of the Oklahoma City bombing 
     and (2) to cover costs related to any potential or actual 
     future domestic or international terrorism event. The 
     conference agreement provides an appropriation of $34,220,000 
     for this account which will remain available until expended.
       The conferees intend that the funds provided through the 
     Counterterrorism Fund will be used to reestablish or rebuild 
     offices or facilities of the Department of Justice that are 
     destroyed or damaged as the result of a domestic or 
     international terrorism event. For example, the Oklahoma 
     Resident Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration was 
     destroyed in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building. In 
     addition, funds are provided for a threat assessment of all 
     Federal office buildings.
       The conference agreement allows for the payment of expenses 
     of an extraordinary nature of Department of Justice agencies 
     engaged in, or providing support to, countering, 
     investigating, or prosecuting domestic or international 
     terrorism. Therefore, funds are available to reimburse the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Attorneys 
     and the United States Marshals Service for expenses incurred 
     in connection with the Oklahoma City bombing and may be used 
     for further expenses related to this incident. Funds are also 
     available to reimburse the Office of Justice Programs Justice 
     Assistance account for Emergency Assistance payments to 
     qualifying State or local law enforcement agencies.
       The conference agreement allows this Fund to be used for 
     the payment of rewards as outlined under language included in 
     the General Provisions for the Department of Justice 
     contained in this Act.
       Because there may be necessary expenses that arise in such 
     events that are not known at the present time, the conference 
     agreement allows the Attorney General to make the 
     determination on a case by case basis of such necessary 
     expenses which may be covered by funds appropriated to this 
     account. The Attorney General may also use these funds to 
     engage in planning, and the execution of such plans, related 
     to upcoming significant events which offer the potential of 
     being targeted by domestic or international terrorists.
       The conferees expect the Attorney General to notify the 
     Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
     and the Senate prior to the obligation of funds from this 
     account, with the exception of the $10,555,000 requested by 
     the Administration for anticipated 1995 costs of the 
     Department of Justice related to the Oklahoma City bombing. 
     The conferees understand the urgency of meeting these 
     requirements and the need to reimburse these agencies for 
     these expenses in a timely manner. To the extent that these 
     expenses deviate from those requested by the Administration 
     in the supplemental, the conferees expect the Attorney 
     General to report any differences to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both the House and the Senate.

                            Legal Activities

             Salaries and Expenses, United States Attorneys

       The conference agreement provides a $2,000,000 supplemental 
     appropriation for the United States Attorneys. The amounts 
     provided will remain available until expended and will 
     provide for the establishment of a specialized team of 
     attorneys for terrorism prosecution. The funds provided will 
     support the full cost of hiring an additional 8 Assistant 
     United States Attorneys and 4 support personnel.
       The conference agreement also provides additional funds, as 
     requested by the Administration, to support extraordinary 
     expenses being incurred by the United States Attorneys from 
     the establishment of a Command Center in Oklahoma City to 
     support the investigation of persons involved in the Oklahoma 
     bombing and future expenses related to the prosecution and 
     trial of those arrested. The conferees intend that funds for 
     these activities for the United States Attorneys will be 
     provided under the newly established Counterterrorism Fund.

                    federal bureau of investigation

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conference agreement provides a $77,140,000 
     supplemental appropriation for the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation, to remain available until expended, for 
     additional personnel and equipment to support expanded 
     investigations of domestic and international terrorism 
     activities.
       The conference agreement provides $1,905,000 for the full 
     cost of hiring 25 intelligence analysts to establish a 
     Domestic Counter-terrorism Center to coordinate and 
     centralize Federal, State, and local law enforcement efforts 
     in response to major terrorist incidents and as a 
     clearinghouse for all domestic and international terrorism 
     information and intelligence.
       In addition the conferees have provided $12,875,000 for the 
     full cost of hiring 31 additional engineering and technical 
     staff to support research and development of new techniques 
     to replace existing intercept capabilities that are 
     ineffective when used in an advanced digital communications 
     environment and to enhance law enforcement capabilities to 
     perform court-authorized voice and data interceptions.
       The conferees provide $10,000,000 to modernize the FBI's 
     Strategic Information Operations Center to provide the 
     capability of addressing multiple sites and incidents 
     concurrently and to support the centralized coordination of 
     law enforcement for major incidents such as the Oklahoma City 
     bombing.
       The conference agreement provides $37,660,000 for the full 
     cost of hiring 190 surveillance specialists and 143 support 
     personnel, in lieu of one month's funding for 231 
     surveillance specialists and 169 support personnel. In 
     addition, $8,700,000 is provided for the full cost of hiring 
     38 tactical operations staff and for equipment for enhanced 
     counter-terrorism operations. Also provided is $5,000,000 to 
     replace and upgrade laboratory equipment and provide 
     Emergency Response Teams with proper equipment and tools for 
     the collection and processing of crime scene evidence. The 
     conferees also provided $1,000,000 for the development of an 
     automated database to collect and analyze information 
     regarding hostage/barricade situations.
       The conference agreement does not include $5,600,000 for 
     the design of three new facilities--a new FBI laboratory, a 
     new National Law Enforcement Technical Support Center, and a 
     new training facility--due to the need to assess the purpose 
     and the long-term costs of these facilities in the regular 
     appropriations process.
       The conference agreement also provides additional funds, as 
     requested by the Administration, to support extraordinary 
     expenses being incurred by the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation to support the investigation of persons 
     involved in the Oklahoma City bombing and the payment of 
     rewards in connection with this investigation. The conferees 
     intend that funds for these activities and future expenses of 
     the Federal Bureau of Investigation related to this incident 
     will be provided under the newly established Counterterrorism 
     Fund.

                           General Provisions

       Section 3001 of the conference agreement includes language 
     that allows the Attorney General to provide a reward, up to a 
     maximum of $2,000,000, to individuals assisting in the 
     investigation and prosecution of terrorists. The Attorney 
     General is currently limited to a maximum reward payment of 
     $500,000.
       Section 3002 of the conference agreement provides that 
     funds made available in this Act are subject to the standard 
     reprogramming procedures set forth in Section 605 of Public 
     Law 103-317.
                             The Judiciary

    Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and Other Judicial Services

                             Court Security

       The conference agreement includes a supplemental 
     appropriation of $16,640,000 for the Federal Judiciary's 
     Court Security account compared to the Administration's 
     request of $10,400,000. The amount provided will remain 
     available until expended to cover the costs of enhanced 
     security of judges and support personnel in response to the 
     potential increased threat resulting from the recent bombing 
     of the Federal building in Oklahoma City. The amount is 
     provided as follows:
       --$12,620,000 to cover the full costs of hiring an 
     additional 250 new court security officers (CSOs) for 
     existing court locations which currently have none and at 
     locations which are currently below accepted standards. The 
     Judiciary had requested funds to hire 400 CSOs for existing 
     space, but the conferees felt that no more than 250 could be 
     brought on so late in the fiscal year. The remainder of this 
     request will be considered in the context of the fiscal year 
     1996 appropriations process.
       --$2,120,000 for the full costs of hiring an additional 40 
     CSOs to operate and monitor new weapons/explosives screening 
     equipment and x-ray machines for fifteen existing judiciary 
     locations where no security equipment is currently in place.
       --$4,900,000 for new and replacement security equipment, 
     including upgrading equipment at existing facilities and 
     purchase of x-ray machines and magnetometers for fifteen 
     facilities which currently have no security equipment.
       The amounts provided assume the reprogramming of $3,000,000 
     in available balances in this account as proposed in the 
     Judiciary's supplemental request.
       The conferees have not included the $2,000,000 requested 
     for vehicle barriers to be placed at the entrance to parking 
     garages at 50 metropolitan court facilities around the 
     country. The conferees understand that the actual costs of 
     placing these barriers at the 50 locations may be greater 
     than the $2,000,000 requested and urge the Judiciary to work 
     with the General Services Administration to identify the 
     necessary resources for this proposal in the fiscal year 1996 
     budget.

                               Chapter II

                       Department of the Treasury

                          Departmental Offices

                         Salaries and Expenses

       As part of the Administration's supplemental request, 
     $300,000 was included to hire 10 new employees to assist in 
     oversight of the Department's anti-terrorism efforts. The 
     conferees deny this request.
         [[Page H5052]] Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree to provide $34,823,000, $18,616,000 
     above the $16,207,000 requested by the Administration, in 
     order to offset immediate expenses associated with the 
     aftermath and investigation of the Oklahoma City bombing, 
     security upgrades in headquarters and field offices, and the 
     enhancement of certain counter-terrorism capabilities.
       The conferees provide $4,723,000 of the $4,923,000 
     requested to cover overtime, travel, communications and 
     equipment associated with reestablishing ATF offices in 
     Oklahoma City and to cover investigative expenses. The 
     conferees deny the $200,000 request for the replacement of 
     all basic office equipment and furniture lost in the 
     explosion since these costs will be borne by the General 
     Services Administration.
       The conferees provide $3,000,000 to improve security in 
     field offices, the same amount requested by the President.
       The conferees agree to provide $7,000,000 for costs 
     associated with the relocation of ATF headquarters, of which 
     up to $300,000 may be used to provide temporary improvements 
     to ATF's current headquarters, as needed.
       The conferees provide $3,000,000 to fund the personnel 
     costs of four new permanent National Response Teams (NRT), 
     $3,300,000 for mobile response equipment and additional 
     laboratory personnel, and $1,800,000 for additional 
     intelligence analysts and explosives inspectors.
       The conferees further note that ATF lacks sufficient 
     resources to purchase certain critical pieces of equipment or 
     to make other investments needed to effectively and 
     efficiently pursue it mission. For that reason, the conferees 
     agree to provide $12,000,000 to fund a number of items 
     requested in the President's FY 1996 budget request: purchase 
     of electronic surveillance equipment, weapons, protective 
     gear and investigative vehicles; improvement of financial 
     management information systems; and development of AFT's 
     Integrated Collection System. These funds may also be used 
     for costs associated with the relocation of the ATF 
     laboratory.

                federal law enforcement training center

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree to provide $1,100,000 and additional 
     personnel as requested for the Federal Law Enforcement 
     Training Center to enhance the anti-terrorism training 
     component of basic courses, increase the number and quality 
     of advanced training courses in anti-terrorism tactics, 
     provide additional equipment for such training and train 
     personnel.

                      united states secret service

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree to provide $6,675,000 for the Secret 
     Service, $2,800,000 above the amount requested by the 
     President. The conferees have provided the additional funds 
     for expenses related to the completion of the White House 
     Access Control System ($1,800,000) and the purchase of Remote 
     Delivery Site Equipment ($1,000,000).

                     united States customs service

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees agree to provide $1,000,000 of the $1,200,000 
     requested to relocate Customs offices, pay for temporary duty 
     replacements, over the costs of permanent change of station 
     moves and replacement vehicles, and purchase certain office 
     equipment. The conferees deny the $200,000 request for the 
     replacement of all basic office equipment and furniture lost 
     in the explosion since these costs will be borne by the 
     General Services Administration.

                        internal revenue service

                     Administration and Management

       As part of the Administration's supplemental request, 
     $1,000,000 was included to cover expenses for overtime, 
     travel and supplies related to the investigation of the 
     bombing. The conferees deny this request and instead have 
     diverted these funds to the Secret Service for the purchase 
     of additional White House security systems.
                  financial crimes enforcement network

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees have denied the President's request of 
     $300,000 in emergency appropriations for the Financial Crimes 
     Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and instead have diverted these 
     funds to the Secret Service for the purchase of additional 
     White House Security systems. The conferees note that any 
     additional work accomplished by FinCEN as part of the 
     Oklahoma City investigation should be done within existing 
     resources.

                           Independent Agency

                    general services administration

                         federal buildings fund

                   Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building

       The conferees have included a provision which provides 
     additional funding related to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal 
     Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The conferees, in 
     response to the special needs created by the April 19, 1995, 
     terrorist bombing attack at the Murrah Federal Building, have 
     added $40,400,000 for expenses of real property management 
     and related activities. This includes: planning, design, 
     construction, demolition, restoration, repairs, alterations, 
     acquisition, installment acquisition payments, rental of 
     space, buildings operations, maintenance, protection, moving 
     of governmental agencies and other activities.
       The recommendation also provides that, in carrying out the 
     foregoing activities, the Administrator of General Services 
     may exchange, sell, lease, donate, or otherwise dispose of 
     the site of the Murrah building to the State of Oklahoma, to 
     Oklahoma City, or any political subdivision or agency of the 
     State or city, and that such disposal shall not be subject to 
     the Public Buildings Act of 1959, the Federal Property and 
     Administrative Services Act of 1949, or any other Federal law 
     establishing requirements or procedures for disposing of 
     Federal property.
       In recommending waivers of these laws, the conferees are 
     responding to the extraordinary circumstances created by this 
     tragic destruction of life and property and the realization 
     that the work of replacement and recovery should not be 
     unnecessarily encumbered by otherwise applicable provisions 
     of law. Nevertheless, the conferees recommend the use of this 
     waiver authority by the Administrator, at his discretion. 
     This authority should only be used when circumstances dictate 
     the clear necessity to do so. It is not intended that use of 
     existing authority be precluded where consistent with and 
     appropriate to serving the needs and purposes of this 
     disposal action.
       The conferees have also included a provision requiring 
     prospectus approval of any major repair, alteration, lease, 
     or construction project if the need for such a prospectus 
     meets the requirements of the Public Buildings Act.

                         emergency requirements

       As part of the Administration's supplemental request, a 
     total of $26,400,000 was included for emergency requirements. 
     The conferees agree with the request as follows:

Demolition/debris removal of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Bui$2,300,000
Repair of other federal buildings.............................3,300,000
Replacement leases, furniture, and equipment..................8,300,000

              Department of Housing and Urban Development

                     management and administration

                         Salaries and Expenses

       Provides $3,200,000 for emergency expenses resulting from 
     the bombing of Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma 
     City as requested by the Administration. These funds will 
     cover relocation costs for replacement employees, travel, 
     overtime, replaced office equipment and supplies, and other 
     expenses.

                          Independent Agencies

                  Federal Emergency Management Agency

                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conferees propose a supplemental appropriation for 
     fiscal year 1995 of $3,523,000. This amount, not included in 
     either the House or Senate bills, was requested by the 
     President in his May 2, 1995 message to address urgent needs 
     arising from the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal 
     Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This amount will assist 
     in providing additional security personnel as well as 
     enhanced physical protection at all Agency field offices. 
     Additionally, funds will be available for staff training and 
     awareness of the terrorist threat and enhanced security 
     management systems, for additional training and exercises 
     associated with the Federal Response Plan, and for modifying 
     and expanding the Federal Response Plan.

              Emergency Management Planning and Assistance

       The conferees propose a supplemental appropriation for 
     fiscal year 1995 of $3,477,000. This amount, not included in 
     either the House of Senate bills, was requested by the 
     President in his May 2, 1995 message to address urgent needs 
     arising from the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal 
     Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This amount will provide 
     for the development of new plans and procedures for an 
     efficient response to a terrorist event under the Federal 
     Response Plan, as well as for increased training and 
     exercises associated with such a response for State and local 
     emergency personnel.

                                Citation

       The conference agreement amends the Senate citation of the 
     bill to reflect the inclusion of emergency supplemental 
     appropriations for the anti-terrorism initiatives and for the 
     recovery assistance for the tragedy that occurred at Oklahoma 
     City. The House bill did not contain a citation.
       The conference agreement amends the title of the bill to be 
     compatible with the amended enacting clause and citation.
