The Judiciary Office Building Development Act, Public Law
100–480, among other purposes, authorizes the Architect of
the Capitol to contract for the design and construction of
a building adjacent to Union Station in the District of Columbia to be leased to the Judicial Branch of the United States.
This schedule reflects the costs associated with the construction of the building. Costs of construction were financed by
an initial $125,392 thousand of Federal agency debt (sales
price less unamortized discount) issued in 1989.
Estimates prepared by the Legislative Branch assumed the
financial arrangements to be a lease-purchase, which would
distribute outlays associated with acquisition of the building
over a period of thirty years. However, the arrangements
involve federally guaranteed financing and other characteristics that make them substantively the same as direct federal

construction, financed by direct federal borrowing. Because
estimated expenditures of the Legislative Branch are required
to be included in the budget as submitted and without
change, this separate schedule is included as an adjustment
to reflect direct construction costs and associated interest
costs, consistent with standard budget concepts and scoring
conventions.

Personal services and necessary expenses to provide support
for the basic operations of the Library are financed from
this appropriation.
Collections services.—The largest administrative unit of the
Library of Congress, both in budget and in staff, has as its
mission the acquisition of materials; the cataloging, classification, and preparation of materials for use; the preservation
of materials for use now and in the future; and serving the
public and managing the Library’s universal collections, which
are the largest in the world. Support services—network development, automation planning, in-service training activities,
and in conjunction with Constituent Services, the Librarywide collection development planning and operations—complement the mission work of the service unit. Collections
Services provides many basic technical services to the Library
of Congress as well as the world’s research and library communities.
Constituent services.—This program serves the public by
maintaining the general collections and the general reading
rooms. It also develops, produces, markets, and distributes
the printed catalog cards, cataloging data in machine-readable
form, book catalogs, technical publications, and selected bibliographies made available from the automated data bases.
In cooperation with Collections Services this program sets
collections policy. This program also coordinates Federal library and information resources.
Cultural affairs.—The Cultural Affairs Service Unit contributes directly to the nation’s educational and intellectual life
through programs that interpret the Library’s resources and
promote the use of its unparalleled collections. Thirteen organizational units are combined to accomplish this purpose: the
American Folklife Center, the Center for the Book, the Office
of Educational Programs (including Visitor Services Office),
the Global Library Project, and the Office of Communications
(including Public Affairs and Publishing), Interpretive Programs, Scholarly Programs (including Poetry and Literature),
Special Events and Public Programs, and Electronic Programs.
Law library.—The Law Library is responsible for the custody, development, and service of the law collection of the
Library of Congress and functions as the foreign and international law research arm of the United States Congress.
Management support services.—This activity supports the
executive staff of the Office of the Librarian: budget and
finance; human resources; contracts and logistics; buildings
management; automation; and other centralized services. It
also includes rental of space off Capitol Hill.

The Copyright Office is responsible for registering and recording copyright claims, assignments, and renewals, for supplying copyright information to the public, for collecting and
accounting for copyright fees, and for publishing complete
and indexed catalogs for each class of copyright entries. The
Office is conducted for the most part on a self-sustaining
basis. The amount requested is substantially counterbalanced
by fees received for services rendered and the value of books
and other library materials deposited in accordance with the
Copyright Act and transferred to the Library of Congress.
The income and obligations for 1994, and estimates for 1995
and 1996 are as follows:

Obligations .................................................................................. $25,344,039 $27,456,000 $30,643,000

The efforts described under each of the activities are predicated on an estimated 600,000 copyright registrations during
1996, an estimated 660,000 during 1995, and registrations
of 530,000 during 1994.
Receiving and accounting for applications, fees, and correspondence.—Materials received by the Copyright Office are
assembled and routed; accounts are maintained for all moneys
received; records relating to the registration of copyrights are
filed; and materials are deposited in accordance with the
Copyright Act.
Examining copyright applications.—All applications and deposits are examined before issuance of registration certificates
or recordings of documents to determine whether the provisions of the Copyright Act have been satisfied.
Indexing and cataloging materials received.—The Register
of Copyrights is required to publish complete and indexed

Policy analysis and research.—The Congressional Research
Service provides objective, nonpartisan analytical and consultative services to the Members and committees of Congress,
assisting them in the analysis, appraisal, and evaluation of
any subject matter of legislative concern, including recommendations submitted to the Congress by the Executive
Branch. Research services are also provided to assist Congress
with its oversight, representative, and other responsibilities.
Support takes the form of background studies, in-depth policy
analyses, consultations, briefings, legal research, continuous
liaison with committees, assistance with committee hearings,
public policy seminars for Members and congressional staff,
and related data and materials. In order to respond most
effectively to the broad range of congressional inquiries, the
Service supplements individually tailored products with Issue
Briefs, Reports, Committee Prints, and ‘‘Info Packs’’, which
are collections of both CRS products and carefully selected
materials from outside sources that provide background material on issues of very high congressional interest. Lists of
subjects and policy areas that a committee might profitably
pursue are periodically made available to each congressional
committee. As provided by statute, the Service prepares decennially the Constitution of the United States—Analysis and
Interpretation, and supplements at 2-year intervals, prepares
compendiums for the annual national high school and college
debate topics, and provides assistance to the Congressional
Budget Office, the Office of Technology Assessment, and the
General Accounting Office.
Documentation and status of legislation.—The Service prepares summaries of all public bills and resolutions introduced
in Congress, the status of bills receiving action, and various
pertinent indexes. The information is made available to Congressional offices on SCORPIO, the Library’s online system.
Daily additions and changes keep the file current with the
latest summaries and bill status. Upon request, the Service
prepares legislative history memorandums on bills for which
hearings have been announced, and compiles and makes
available to each committee reports on legislatively authorized
programs and activities within that committee’s jurisdiction
that are scheduled to terminate during the current Congress.
Information and reference service.—The Congressional Research Service provides extensive information and reference
assistance to Members and committees. Reference files containing clippings, pamphlets, and documents and automated
information services are maintained for rapid information retrieval. Lists of selected reports, prepared by CRS staff on

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

legislative issues, are regularly distributed to congressional
offices. To provide faster responses and in-person services,
the Service also maintains reference centers in congressional
office buildings and the Congressional Reading Rooms in the
Madison and Jefferson Buildings of the Library of Congress.
Executive direction and support.—Providing overall supervision and administrative support to the entire Congressional
Research Service is the responsibility of the Office of the
Director and the administrative personnel.

Outlays .......................................................................

The Office of the Superintendent of Documents operates
under a separate appropriation, which provides funds for:
(1) the mailing for Members of Congress and other Government agencies of certain Government publications, as authorized by law; (2) the distribution of Government publications
to designated depository libraries, including cost-effective
methods of electronic dissemination to depository libraries
such as CD–ROMS, and on-demand delivery of full text or
image files; (3) the compilation of catalogs and indexes of
Government publications; and (4) the distribution of Government publications in the International Exchange Program.
These four functions are related to the publication activity
of other agencies and to the demands of the public, Members
of Congress, and depository libraries. Consequently, the Office
of the Superintendent of Documents can exercise little control
over the volume of work which it may be called upon to
perform. A description of these four functions follows:
Distribution for other Government agencies and Members
of Congress.—The Office of Superintendent of Documents
maintains mailing lists and mails, at the request of Government agencies and Members of Congress, certain publications
specified by public law.
Depository library distribution.—As required, Government
publications are supplied to libraries which are designated
as depositories for Government publications. This includes
cost-effective methods of electronic dissemination to depository libraries such as CD–ROMS, and on-demand delivery
of full text or image files.
Cataloging and indexing.—The Office of Superintendent of
Documents is charged with preparing catalogs and indexes
of all publications issued by the Federal Government. The
principal publication is the ‘‘Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications.’’
International exchange.—The Office of Superintendent of
Documents distributes Government publications to foreign
governments which agree, as indicated by the Library of Congress, to send to the United States similar publications of
their governments for delivery to the Library of Congress.

of charitable organizations and the status of certain governmental obligations; and to decide certain cases involving disclosure of tax information by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.
Additional jurisdiction was conferred on the Court by the
Taxpayer Bill of Rights in 1988. The Court is authorized
to hear and decide appeals by taxpayers from decisions by
the Internal Revenue Service denying awards for reasonable
administrative costs incurred in connection with administrative proceedings within the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, if a timely petition for the redetermination of a deficiency is pending before the Court, the Court is authorized
to restrain the premature assessment and collection of the
disputed tax, to review certain jeopardy assessments and jeopardy levies, and to review the Commissioner’s determination
that certain seized property may be sold notwithstanding the
pendency of the deficiency action. Finally, the Court is authorized to enforce its decisions determining overpayments in taxpayers’ favor, to resolve disputes involving interest on deficiencies which were previously the subject of disputes before
the Court, and to modify decisions in estate tax cases involving certain payment extensions.
For 1996, the Court proposes a trial program of 380 weeks
consisting of 175 weeks of regular trial sessions and 105
weeks of small tax case sessions. In addition, the Court proposes scheduling special sessions for lengthy trials consisting
of approximately 100 weeks. Trials are held in approximately
80 cities throughout the United States.
Statistics on the actual and estimated number of cases before the court are presented in the following tabulation:

payment is required. Additional funds, as are needed, are
provided through the annual appropriation to the U.S. Tax
Court.
On September 30, 1994, 26 judges of the court were participating in the fund, and 5 eligible widows were receiving survivorship annuity payments.

The Competitiveness Policy Council was established by Public Law 100–418, sections 5201–5210, as amended by Public
Law 101–382, section 133. It is a bipartisan commission with
members appointed by the joint leadership of the House of
Representatives, the joint leadership of the Senate, and the
President.
The Council has twelve members, drawn from business,
labor, academia, government and public interest activities.
The President appoints a cabinet level official as the Executive branch representative. The Council’s objectives are:
(1) to be a national forum for identifying challenges to
U.S. living standards;
(2) to analyze information and develop recommendations
for long-range national strategies intended to enhance the
productivity and international competitiveness of the U.S.
economy;
(3) to monitor changes in saving and investment, government regulation, education, trade and technology and evaluate Federal, State and local policies with respect to their
impact on U.S. competitiveness;
(4) to establish subcouncils to develop long range strategies
on specific competitiveness issues;
(5) to make reports to the President and the Congress on
issues relating to U.S. competitiveness and standards of living.
The Council is requesting substantially less funds for FY96
due to cost cutting measures taken in FY94 and FY95.

Under Public Law 94–553, the general revision of the copyright law, an independent Copyright Royalty Tribunal was
created in the Legislative Branch. The Tribunal is composed
of three commissioners appointed by the President with the
advice and consent of the Senate for staggered terms of 7
years each.
The Tribunal’s statutory responsibilities are: (a) to make
determinations concerning copyright royalty rates (1) in the
area of cable television (17 U.S.C. 111), (2) for phonorecords
(17 U.S.C. 115), (3) for coin-operated phonorecord players
(jukeboxes) (17 U.S.C. 116), (4) for non-commercial broadcasting (17 U.S.C. 118), and (5) for digital audio devices (17
U.S.C. 1004); and (b) to distribute cable television, satellite
carrier, jukebox, and digital audio devices and media royalties
deposited with the Register of Copyrights (17 U.S.C. 111,
116, 119, 1005, and 1007).
Public Law 103–198 abolished the Copyright Royalty Tribunal and created a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel System
administered by the Library of Congress Copyright Office.

The Physician Payment Review Commission was established by the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(P.L. 99–272) as an independent legislative agency to advise
Congress on matters related to the design and refinement
of physician payment methods under the Medicare program.
The Commission, whose 13 members are appointed by the
Office of Technology Assessment, is required to report to Congress annually on physician payment reform, monitoring the
effectiveness of the Medicare Fee Schedule, and more comprehensive policy issues affecting the financing, quality, and
delivery of health care services.

The National Commission on Manufactured Housing was

and Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974,
(2) the implications for State regulatory jurisdiction over
modular housing,
