Whereas the THCGME program has grown from supporting 
63 resident positions in the first year, to more than 700 
in the 2016–2017 academic year; 
Whereas the programs receiving this support are training 
residents in the specialties with the highest shortages na-
tionally, including: family medicine, general internal med-
icine, pediatrics, geriatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, psychi-
atry, and dentistry; 
Whereas teaching health centers are located primarily in fed-
erally qualified health centers (FQHCs), rural health 
clinics, and tribal clinics, all of which care for under-
served communities and populations; 
Whereas the size of THCGME remains modest, representing 
in fiscal year 2016 less than 0.5 percent of the annual 
Federal outlay committed to training physicians; 
Whereas the THCGME program delivers value in physician 
training and encourages team-based care that improves 
quality; 
Whereas reports show the THCGME program is helping to 
meet the need of increasing the number of physicians 
choosing to practice primary care, to provide care to un-
derserved populations, and to locate in rural and under-
served communities; 
Whereas THCGME funding is unstable in its current form; 
and 
Whereas Congress provided 2 years of bridge funding for the 
THCGME program in section 221(b) of the Medicare Ac-
cess and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), 
which passed with overwhelming bipartisan margins in 
both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S.

105TH CONGRESS
2D SESSION
H. R. 4822
To require the Securities and Exchange Commission to require the improved
disclosure of tax effects of portfolio transactions on mutual fund perform-
ance, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 13, 1998
Mr. GILLMOR (for himself, Mr. OXLEY, Mr. MANTON, Mr. DEAL of Georgia,
Mr. BURR of North Carolina, Mr. HALL of Texas, Mr. WHITFIELD, Mr.
LARGENT, Mr. TOWNS, Mr. WAXMAN, Mr. TAUZIN, and Mr. SHIMKUS)
introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on
Commerce
A BILL
To require the Securities and Exchange Commission to re-
quire the improved disclosure of tax effects of portfolio
transactions on mutual fund performance, and for other
purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Mutual Fund Tax
Awareness Act of 1998’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Performance figures that investment compa-
nies generally disclose to their shareholders are net
of fees and expenses, but not taxes, and thereby fail
to take into consideration the impact taxes have on
an investor’s return.
(2) The incompleteness of this disclosure with
respect to taxes, because it treats investment compa-
nies with similar pre-tax, but with dissimilar after-
tax, returns, presents investors with a false or mis-
leading picture of fund performance.
(3) Improved disclosure of tax-efficiency would
allow shareholders to compare after-tax returns to
raw performance, and would permit the investors to
determine whether the fund manager tries to mini-
mize tax consequences for shareholders.
(4) If a fund’s performance is based mostly on
short-term gains, investors can lose up to one-half of
the return to taxes.
(5) The average portfolio turnover rate for an
actively managed (non-index) fund has increased
from 30 percent 20 years ago to almost 90 percent
today, and average capital gains distributions of
growth funds, per share, have more than doubled in
the last 10 years.
(6) While the investment company prospectus
details the average annual portfolio turnover rate,
the prospectus does not adequately inform share-
holders about the impact the portfolio turnover rate
has on total returns.
SEC. 3. IMPROVEMENTS IN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS.
Within 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Securities and Exchange Commission shall revise reg-
ulations under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to
require, consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest, improved methods of disclosing in invest-
ment company prospectuses and annual reports the after-
tax effects of portfolio turnover on investment company
returns to investors.
Æ
H. R. 4818—441

If water resource reports have not been transmitted to the appro-

of the end of the OMB review period based on the notification
from the Director, Congress shall assume OMB concurrence with
the report and act accordingly.
