Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds as follows:
(1) Among the major problems of the District of Columbia
government has been the failure to clearly delineate
accountability.
(2) The statute establishing the District of Columbia
Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority
proved necessary to enable the District to regain financial
stability and management control.
(3) The District has performed significantly better than
the Congress had anticipated at the time of the passage of the
Authority statute.
(4) The necessity for a financial authority has resulted in
a diffusion of responsibility between the Mayor, the Council,
and the Authority pending the time when the District government
would assume the home rule status quo ante.
(5) This lack of clear lines of reporting authority, in
turn, has led to some redundancy and confusion about
accountability and authority.
(6) The Authority statute requires the Authority to
''ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of services,
including public safety services, by the District government''
and to ''assist the District government in * * * ensuring the
appropriate and efficient delivery of services''.
(7) With the coming of a new administration led by Mayor
Anthony Williams, the Authority has taken the first step to
ensure the accountability that will be necessary at the
expiration of the control period by delegating day-to-day
operations over city agencies previously under control of the
Authority to the Mayor.
(8) The Congress agrees that the best way to ensure clear
and unambiguous authority and full accountability is for the
Mayor to have full authority over city agencies so that
citizens, the Authority, and the Congress can ascertain
responsibility.
(9) The transition of authority to the new administration
will take nothing from the Authority's power to intervene
during a control period.
(10) The congressional intent embodied in the Authority
statute contemplates full home rule by the District government
when it attains the necessary stability.
(11) Congress assumed that it would take 4 years of
balanced budgets to achieve the requisite stability.
(12) The District has exceeded congressional expectations
by submitting 3 years of balanced budgets plus surpluses.
(13) The Authority is an emergency body that should not be
held past the existence of the emergency at a cost to
democratic self-government.
(14) To take account of conditions that improved beyond
expectations, full self-government should return to the
District one year ahead of time, in the year 2000.
